From the outside, there was nothing special about the bookmark. Rosel's portrait was everywhere in the memorial exhibition, and the image of the emperor was the same as he was still in middle age.
Klein looked over it several times and found a tiny stamped mark, confirming that this was the bookmark that Miss Justice had verified.
He tried to spread his spirituality and slowly infuse it into it, but the result was just like with ordinary objects, the spirituality just flowed and covered it, but did not penetrate it, nor did it cause any abnormalities.
That’s right. Roselle’s idea is to find a “predestined person” and he won’t limit it to a Beyonder… Klein thought about it and spoke in a low voice in Feysac:
"Pirate King!"
The bookmark still does not respond.
He tried again with ancient Feysac, Intis, Loen, etc., but still got the same result.
As for the languages of the mysterious realm, such as Giant, Elven, and Dragon, Klein could only try them without much hope because they were too restrictive.
Without a doubt, he failed.
Then, Klein used Feysac language again and translated:
"One piece!"
The bookmark lay quietly in his palm, showing no signs of abnormality.
Klein followed the same process and tried again in a different language, only to encounter setbacks.
"It seems that my initial guess was wrong. When he was young, Roselle would use the jokes of One Piece to make jokes, but he might not do the same when he is old. People always grow old and change." Klein reflected on his mistake and tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers, trying to deduce a way to open it from the little information revealed in the diary.
After a while, he materialized a pen and paper and wrote down his thinking process to avoid confusion and contradictions:
"In this matter, Russell was both crazy and desperate, and he also clearly showed a bad taste. The description of 'those who are destined to get it', which does not conform to the current world language habits, is proof of this."
"So, it is certain that he really wanted someone to discover the specialness of the 'Blasphemy Card' by chance."
"If that's the case, then the method to open it wouldn't be too hard to imagine, and it could happen in everyday life."
"What Roselle needs is a chance coincidence. For example, when you hold a worthless bookmark and casually recite a specific word, then congratulations, you have an adventure! Well, this fits that kind of bad taste very well."
"According to this logic, different 'blasphemous cards' should have different activation spells. Using only one word to activate all 'blasphemous cards' is obviously not Roselle's style."
"What is the opening spell for this card? Well, first of all, we can rule out the commonly used ones that are said all the time."
"Also, when creating the 'Blasphemy Card', Roselle was in a state of despair, madness, reluctance, nostalgia, struggle, and anger. You can try to put yourself in that state of mind and pretend that I am Roselle at that time. Imagine what method I would set to open it."
Klein put down his pen and played Russell, trying to find inspiration.
He first tried some curses and words of hope in various languages and ancient Feysac, but failed miserably.
Then, he tried to figure out what a powerful person on the verge of despair would miss the most:
"His wife Matilda? Such a romantic guy shouldn't have such deep feelings for his original wife."
"His children? His eldest daughter Bernadette, his eldest son Charles, his second son Bonois..."
"According to the diary, the one who is most worried about him should be his daughter, Bernadette, who may become a big figure in the mysterious world."
Klein paused, took a breath, and prepared to make a new attempt.
"Bernadette," he said in Intis.
The bookmark does not respond.
Klein then switched to Loenese, Plateau language, and Feysac language, but still failed to achieve the desired result.
He sighed, and in a low voice, uttered the corresponding syllables of ancient Fusac:
"Bernadette."
The name echoed in the empty and silent gray fog without any special features. Klein was about to look for new inspiration when he suddenly felt the bookmark in his hand sink!
It immediately generated an invisible vortex, madly absorbing Klein's spirit.
For ordinary people, this was a huge burden, but for a Sequence 7 "Magician", it was not a serious consumption. Klein easily passed this level and looked at the thing in his palm with joy.
Above the bookmark, a bright light gradually rose, and the image of Emperor Roselle outside was completely renewed.
He sat on an ancient stone throne, with a black crown inlaid with various gems on his head. He was wearing black armor and a cloak of the same color. He held a scepter in his hand and looked forward with cold eyes.
In the upper left corner of the bookmark, a line of words condensed from the bright starlight:
"Sequence 0: Black Emperor!"
Sequence 0! As expected, it hides the secret of God! The Black Emperor is actually Sequence 0... Klein thought with a smile, half sighing and half surprised.
Then, the bookmark became three-dimensional, like a miniature book.
The book moved without any wind, revealing an image of Roselle wearing a white hood, with a corresponding description in ancient Feysac language next to it:
"Sequence 9, lawyer."
"He is good at finding and exploiting loopholes in the rules and weaknesses of his opponents, and he has excellent eloquence and logical thinking..."
"Potion formula..."
Klein glanced at the formula ingredients and reached out to touch them without looking closely. The book turned the page:
"Sequence 8: Savage."
"Problems that cannot be solved by law must be solved by force. This is also a kind of rule... The Beyonders of this sequence have a very high resistance to mental influences..."
"Potion formula..."
As Klein touched it, the book presented by the Blasphemy Card began to turn page by page:
"Sequence 7: Briber."
…
"Sequence 6: Corrupted Baron."
…
"Sequence 5: Chaos Mentor."
…
“Sequence 4: The Corrupted Count.”
…
"Sequence 3: Mad Mage."
…
"Sequence 2: Duke of Entropy."
…
"Sequence 1: Prince of Sequence Killing."
…
"Sequence 0: Black Emperor."
…………
After taking a quick look, Klein couldn't help but sigh:
“This really contains the secret of becoming a god!”
“No wonder the Beyonders of this path, when they reach a high sequence, try to establish a kingdom and walk on the earth.”
Because the ritual of becoming a god requires this!
To be promoted from Sequence 1 "Prince of Order-killing" to "Black Emperor", the required ceremony is to have one's own country, to have one's own name associated with the title of emperor, and to have it become common knowledge among the people. In addition, one needs to establish a set of strict and complex rules that go against normal circumstances, including architectural styles.
Then, he forced the people to secretly build nine pyramid-like mausoleums. Then, they entered one of them and took the Sequence 0 potion during the corresponding sacrificial ceremonies scattered across different cities, in which most of the people participated.
Once the promotion is successful, the "Black Emperor" will not truly die until the nine secret tombs are all destroyed. Even if he dies, he can wake up and return from one of the tombs.
What's even more terrifying is that even if one succeeds in killing the god and destroying all nine tombs, as long as a certain amount of the order established by that god still remains, he may still be resurrected mysteriously, which seems to be a loophole in death.
The best way to completely destroy Him is to have a new "Black Emperor" emerge!
“This is the God!”
"And mortals cannot fight against gods, even angels."
“Those who have never become gods can never imagine how powerful gods are.”
Russell made these meaningful remarks at the end.
In addition, Klein also knew one thing, that is, once a certain path has a true God of Sequence 0, it is impossible for a Sequence 1 Beyonder to appear, not even one. If there is no Sequence 0, then in the same path, there can be at most three Sequence 1s. This is a detail of the law of conservation and indestructibility of Beyonder characteristics!
Based on the description of the 10 sequences on the "blasphemous card" "Black Emperor", Klein clearly saw that the biggest feature of this path was that it gradually evolved into the shadow of order!
Roselle also mentioned one point, that is, after being promoted to a high sequence, holding this "Card of Blasphemy" will produce a certain subtle induction with the extraordinary materials that one needs!
Of course, this is limited to high-sequence people corresponding to the "Black Emperor" pathway.
“What a pity. This is of no use to me.” Klein watched as the Card of Blasphemy became thinner again and turned into a playing card.
However, it is no longer disguised, and on the surface it is Roselle sitting on the stone throne, the Sequence 0 "Black Emperor"!
Klein was silent for a few seconds and sighed silently:
"The biggest use of this card for me is to exchange the recipe for the items I need. The second is some knowledge about gods and sequences. Other than that, there is almost no other use for it."
"Heh, at least this way, as the leader of the Tarot Club and the Fool, I am no longer an empty shell. I have mastered a divine path, so I am not unable to come up with a high-sequence formula!"
"Well... I remember that at the extraordinary gathering organized by old gentleman 'Eye of Wisdom', the lady who was suspected to be a craftsman behind the scenes had been looking to buy the magic potion formula of 'Barbarian'..."
As his thoughts raced, Klein glanced at Roselle on the “Black Emperor” card again and suddenly laughed:
"He used his own image in every sequence. How narcissistic..."
"I'm suddenly curious about what the 'blasphemous card' corresponding to the Witch Path will look like, hehe."
Suppressing all his thoughts, Klein destroyed the other bookmark he had picked up and found that it was just an ordinary bookmark.
After doing all this, he changed his sitting position, leaned against the back of the chair, and responded to Miss Justice's prayer last night, saying in a low and calm voice:
"That is a 'blasphemous card' made by Roselle."
