When Klein heard Anderson's question, he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He couldn't tell the other party that he had fallen out of a dream that was suspected to belong to the "Mysterious Queen."
He glanced indifferently at the unfortunate "strongest hunter", raised his right hand and pointed upwards.
"I see..." Anderson Hood nodded with understanding.
You, what on earth are you thinking of... I don't even know what I'm trying to say... Klein moved the corner of his mouth slightly, changed the subject, and said, recalling:
"I just met someone..."
"Not someone we know? Not a member of the Future? The one who opened the door deep in this hall and walked out?" Anderson suddenly got excited.
This guy doesn't have the airs of a "strongest hunter" at all. He's just like a hot reporter in a newspaper... Klein muttered in his heart, but didn't answer. He just said:
"She asked me to tell you a prophecy."
"What did she predict?" Anderson was a little surprised.
If I were using the identity of Klein Moretti now, I would answer you, "Sorry, I forgot. She only said it once." Klein imagined a prank that would never happen, and said in a low voice:
“The most deadly dangers often hide in the most ordinary life.”
Anderson listened carefully and hissed:
"That's absolutely right! I almost became a fool from drinking just now. Who would have thought that most of the crew members on the 'Future' drank problematic alcohol!"
He pondered for a few seconds and asked with some concern:
"that's all?
"Have you forgotten any details or key words?"
I think you are provoking me... Klein ignored Anderson Hood and walked to the door of the mural hall, looking at Frank, Nina and others outside.
Before in the library, he was inevitably put on the defensive because the "Mysterious Queen" suddenly pointed out that he was the chivalrous thief "Black Emperor". He then tried to disrupt the other party's rhythm and not follow her baton. Therefore, he was always highly nervous and his thoughts were all focused on how to respond to the verbal confrontation. He had no time and opportunity to review the whole process and dig out the details that he had not appreciated. Now he finally has the free time.
"First of all, the most important question that must be immediately figured out is how much the 'Mysterious Queen' knows about my identity and Roselle's diary.
"Well... she thinks that I understand the way to interpret the text created by Emperor Roselle, rather than the text itself. Although the difference between the two meanings is not too big, it is enough to prove that my identity as a time traveler like the Emperor is a level that she could not think of and has no clues to point to.
"Ms. Sharon is not a novice who has just entered the occult circle or encountered complicated things. When she asked someone to help me forge my identity, it was impossible for her to tell the other party who the client was. Moreover, the photo I provided was the image of Gehrman Sparrow...
"That is to say, the 'Mysterious Queen' did not come to the conclusion that Sherlock Moriarty is equal to Herman Sparrow. Yes, if she has already understood it, as I thought before, a better way to address her is 'Black Emperor' Mr. Sherlock Moriarty. This will have a three to five times greater impact on my psychological defenses than directly calling the thief 'Black Emperor'.
“From her perspective, how did she find useful information from those scattered clues?
"She knew that the bookmark was the Black Emperor card, so she connected the ghostly thief Black Emperor with the strange spirit that stole the Blasphemous Card from the Kingdom Museum. Then, because the Five Seas King Nast suddenly appeared in the waters of the Rorsted Archipelago, she speculated that the thief Black Emperor might also appear in Bayam, in the archipelago, based on the Beyonder characteristic gathering law.
"After investigation, she discovered the familiar identity of Gehrman Sparrow, and based on the similarities between his activities and those of the thief Black Emperor, she made a guess and chased him all the way, sneaked into the Future, and observed me closely.
"This is logical, but there are some coincidences in some places. 'King of the Five Seas' Nast appears wherever he wants. Maybe he just missed a certain lady in the 'Red Theater' and sent the ship through the spirit world to the waters of the Rorsted Archipelago. Maybe Bayam happened to have a high-sequence extraordinary material from the 'Black Emperor' pathway, which exuded a strong attraction to him... This can't be directly associated with the grand thief 'Black Emperor'.
"Of course, it's understandable that the 'Mysterious Queen' would make such an association. Perhaps she would rather make a mistake than let go of the clues to important things. Ha, this is a good habit, but it makes her very tired.
"Also, she probably didn't lock onto Gehrman Sparrow right from the start. But in the waters of the Rorsted Archipelago, in the City of Generosity, Bayam, the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow is quite famous. As long as she heard the name and compared the time, she could make a basic judgment.
"Well, it's better to keep a low profile. Fortunately, the role-playing is finally over, and I can make the identity of Gehrman Sparrow disappear in the future!" Klein sorted out the whole thing and felt that he had almost figured out the problem.
However, he had another idea and another guess:
That was when Admiral of the Stars Cattleya took Gehrman Sparrow on board. She was too high-profile, as if she was afraid that others would not know that the crazy adventurer had cooperated with her!
"Perhaps, she was giving some hints, and then the 'Mysterious Queen' came, found out about Gehrman Sparrow, and figured out the trajectory of my activities at sea. Then, she made a comparison and made a judgment. She said she was deceiving me, but it was actually quite certain!" Klein put one hand in his pocket and walked out of the mural hall. His target was Cattleya, the "Admiral of the Stars" outside the Black Monastery, intending to take advantage of the other party's half-asleep and half-awake opportunity to directly ask for the answer.
At this point, he had actually relaxed a lot, because the "Mysterious Queen" obviously only knew that Gehrman Sparrow was equal to the chivalrous thief "Black Emperor" and was equal to a Beyonder who served a big shot, and did not involve more secret matters.
"Even if she links the case to the great detective Sherlock Moriarty who appeared nearby on the night the Black Emperor card was stolen, it won't be a big problem.
"From a long time ago, I have been equating Sherlock Moriarty with the 'world' and the followers of the 'fool'. Gehrman Sparrow is an extension of this identity. Haha, this is the preparation for similar situations. I have always felt that we cannot treat others as fools. As long as a person has activities, tracks, and interpersonal relationships, he will always reveal something. Therefore, I prepared this identity for these smart people in advance, and my daily life also strictly follows the corresponding settings.
“It is completely understandable and acceptable that the followers of great figures can initially understand Roselle’s diary. It is a normal gift from a certain existence.
"Hey, you never expected it, there is still a mask under the mask!"
As his thoughts raced, Klein felt that the help of the gray fog and his own caution had played a significant role. If he had not noticed someone watching him in advance and had not instinctively followed his heart's will, he might have summoned the messenger under the gaze of the "Mysterious Queen".
The messenger itself won't reveal anything, but I'm afraid that the "Mysterious Queen" will find a way to track it, find Mr. Azik, and dig out my identity, Klein Moretti, from his whereabouts in recent years... Klein walked through the square with many giant arrows and walked out of the Black Monastery. He saw "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya still sitting with her knees hugged, gazing at the beautiful scenery at dusk.
Klein jumped onto the boulder and came to the withered tree. He looked at the magnificent buildings on the opposite mountain and asked casually:
"In Naas, you showed the star bridge and built a path to the ship. Did you have another purpose?"
Cattleya leaned her head a little and said:
"I won't tell you!"
"..." Klein didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He originally thought that the "Admiral of the Stars" in the dream world would be very honest, but he didn't expect it to be like this. Of course, this is also a kind of honesty, but what is honest is the character.
After two seconds of silence, Klein decided to trick the other party:
"You want to use this method to tell someone that I'm worthy of attention?"
Cattleya exhaled, and her posture of sitting with her knees hugged did not change:
"almost.
"It's mainly to tell others that if I have a more serious problem or show obvious abnormalities, you are a clue."
As expected... Klein sighed in his heart.
He could understand that the "Admiral of the Stars" had done some small actions to protect himself, but as a "fool", this was an act that had to be punished.
However, he couldn't just use this incident to provoke an outburst, as that would make The Fool appear overly protective of his followers and not be high-minded enough... Well, the Admiral of the Stars must have done more than just this one small action. He could treat this series of actions as a whole and criticize them vaguely... Klein quickly came up with an idea and was no longer too panicked about his encounter in the dream world.
As for the "mysterious queen's" proposal, he didn't even consider it.
Emperor Roselle's diary records the events of time travel and Earth. If the "Mysterious Queen" is taught how to interpret it and she discovers this, she will be able to make more deadly guesses!
She was concerned about the big shot behind me who could even lend me the Scepter of Poseidon at will, so she wouldn't do anything too coercive. If I really needed her help, or if she had a hold on me, I could agree to help her translate a few pages of the key diary that she wanted to know the contents of, but I would never teach her Chinese. Well, even if I translated it, I would have to mix it up with similar words, and only make sure the key points were correct. That way, she wouldn't be able to use it to crack it in reverse... Klein retracted his gaze and casually asked Admiral of the Stars Cattleya:
"It is rumored that you and the 'Mysterious Queen' have broken up, but from what I have observed, that is not the case."
Cattleya's confused expression suddenly changed. She pursed her lips and said:
“What right do I have to break up with her?
"I'm just an outcast."
Exiled... Klein was about to ask again when the dazzling sunlight shone in, waking him up naturally.
Looking at the brilliant sky outside, he wiped his forehead and muttered to himself silently:
"What a horrible dream."
Putting away his feelings, Klein got out of bed and walked to the deck area. He continued to observe the surroundings, waiting for the mermaid to appear.
Nearly an hour later, he finally heard a thin, ethereal singing voice coming from afar with the waves.
