In the quiet hotel room, the dark radio receiver instantly returned to normal, and the surrounding light was no longer gloomy.
Klein was busy preparing the ceremony and sacrificed it above the gray fog. Only then did he have the mood to think about the answer he had just obtained.
Based on the clues provided by "Magic Mirror" Arrodes, combined with the answers of Mr. Azik and "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin, Klein had a preliminary plan for the next stage.
That was not just because he wanted to take a short break and return to Backlund, but he also considered this metropolis as his main activity location for a long time to see if he could steal the Antigonus family notebook from the Saint Samuel Church of the Church of the Evernight Goddess.
If you are sure that there is no other way, try to turn to a similar extraordinary path. If this does not work, you will have to take the last route to the main peak of the Honachis Mountains.
"Well... I definitely can't openly use the identity of Sherlock Moriarty when I return to Backlund, unless I want to hook out Ince Zangwill or a faction of the royal family hiding in the dark. However, when contacting acquaintances or using the resources of the Steam Church, I can change back to Sherlock Moriarty.
"Anyway, I have to use a new identity and be completely different from Gehrman Sparrow. Uh, I won't go back directly to Pritz Harbor this time. I'll take a detour through Disi Bay to make sure no one can find out where I am." Klein's thoughts raced, and he soon had a clear idea.
After initially determining the direction, he wanted to extract blood and use his spirit body to explore Groselle's Travels above the gray fog, but considering that he had a tarot meeting in the afternoon, he lay back in bed and rested and relaxed.
…………
The "Future" sailed smoothly in the rolling waves. "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya stood by the window, looking at the vast scenery that had no visible edge. From the front deck, Nina's angry voice could be heard from time to time. She was scolding Frank Lee for making a bunch of beef-flavored mushrooms that multiplied very quickly and loved to eat fish.
Cattleya sighed silently and raised her hand to push up the heavy glasses on her nose.
At this moment, her inspiration suddenly struck. She looked down at the desk, only to see a few yellowed papers there that had appeared at some point.
"The Emperor's diary... She finally sent a messenger..." Cattleya turned around happily and picked up the few pieces of paper that looked more like an initial test.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, she had forced herself to remember those symbols and saw the illusory crimson light flooding over her like a tide.
Under the towering dome supported by stone pillars, the "Hermit" Cattleya saw similar crimson lights rising up and turning into blurry figures.
She didn't look closely, but found that the familiar pair of glasses had naturally appeared on the bridge of her nose, as if it was a perfect replica of the outside world.
Then, she saw Miss Justice standing up gracefully from the corner of her eye, and said briskly to the head of the bronze table:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
Audrey has indeed been in a good mood recently. After returning to the family castle, she successfully helped her mother, Lady Catelyn, solve some psychological problems caused by her actual age and physical condition as a well-behaved daughter, and received very good feedback, which allowed her to sum up more rules for playing the role of "psychologist".
Among them, the most important one is to help others solve their spiritual problems. She suspected that this was the reason why the potion was called "psychologist" instead of "psychologist".
Miss Justice seems to be very happy... Klein seemed to be infected and nodded with a smile as a response.
During this process, he found that Mr. "The Hanged Man" seemed to be worried, and seemed to be still hesitating and struggling, and had not made up his mind yet.
Eh, this means that Mr. Hanged Man can afford the Ocean Songster potion formula and main ingredients, but at a huge price. I thought he would apply for installments... Klein the Fool withdrew his gaze without any abnormality and looked around.
After Miss Justice finished her greetings, Cattleya looked at the head of the bronze table and said:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I have collected three pages of Roselle's diary."
Here it comes... I wonder if the three pages of the diary specially selected by the "Mysterious Queen" will contain valuable information, such as the whereabouts of the "blasphemous card" corresponding to the "fortune teller" path. This can provide me with another possibility... Klein was quite looking forward to it, but he spoke calmly and naturally:
"Very good, you can think of a request now."
“Yes, Mr. Fool,” Cattleya responded in an impeccable manner, and then requested to materialize the contents of the diary.
Seeing her performance like this and thinking about how she looked in the dream, Klein was actually quite relieved, just like a homeroom teacher who successfully made a student become obedient and sensible.
“This is the first time Ms. Hermit has provided the diary of Emperor Roselle. With the level and ability she has shown, there should be no way to collect it before… Well, she was more of an observer in the past. After being punished by Mr. Fool last time, has she truly integrated into our Tarot Club?” Audrey of Justice made a certain judgment based on Cattleya’s performance last week.
At the same time, she also noticed that Mr. "The Hanged Man" was not in a good state today. He seemed to be expecting something, but also reluctant to give up something. She was quite curious for a moment.
Klein didn't have to wait too long before the three pages of the diary materialized and landed in his hands.
Members such as the Sun Derrick instinctively quieted down and did not disturb Mr. Fool's reading.
"February 9th is Bonois' birthday. He is already a healthy, strong, honest and kind young man. He is so pious that he is valued by the church.
“Everyone was congratulating me, saying that Bonois would definitely become a favored one and a holy spirit, praising his faith for being so pure and flawless.
"I should be happy, but I feel an irrepressible sadness in my heart. I hope my children can be more human, more emotional, and more like themselves, rather than believers in gods.
"But almost everyone sincerely believes that Bonois is in a good state now. Matilda thinks so, Charles thinks so, my nobles and my ministers think so too. Only Bernadette feels the same as I do. She told me privately that she thinks people should be more self-centered as long as they don't hurt anyone.
“Thinking of those words Zaratul said when Bonova was born, and the increasing premonitions I had after entering the demigod realm, my heart became even heavier. Lovely angel, hehe, you are really a lovely angel.
“Is this your defense against me?
"Is this how you try to control me?
"No, you probably can't understand the pride in my heart. In my opinion, what's the use of gods? I can replace them!"
“On February 11, we tried to contact Zaratul again but to no avail.
"Ever since I got the Antigonus Notes, the leader of the secret society has appeared less and less frequently. I don't know what he is secretly planning, but he will definitely not tell me."
“On February 12, I made a magical item for Bernadette that was perfect for her.
"This can effectively help her avoid the nagging of the 'Hidden Sage'. As long as she doesn't actively pray and ask for a response, well, this thing seems to be able to help the saints enter the God War Ruins at the easternmost part of the Sonia Sea, without being affected by the murmurs of the 'True Creator'. There is a high probability that the secret of the 'God-forsaken Land' is hidden there.
"Ha, I just made a small gift for my daughter, and it has such a powerful effect. Bernadette, your father is indeed the best craftsman in the world!"
The most outstanding "craftsman". Does this mean that when the emperor wrote this page of the diary, he had already reached Sequence 2 of the "Generalist" path and became an angel? With the existence of the "God of Steam and Machinery", this level is the pinnacle that a "craftsman" can reach... No wonder the "mysterious queen" can freely enter and exit the God War Ruins. It turns out that it was a gift from the emperor. As expected, children of good parents are like treasures... Klein sighed in his heart.
In addition, he also read the depression and resentment of Emperor Roselle between the lines of the first diary, and used the reading comprehension ability he had cultivated in his previous life to taste some information hidden in the content:
After becoming an angel, the emperor seemed to be controlled and guarded against by the Steam Church. The "God of Steam and Machinery" had a certain influence on his youngest son Bonois, making him the most devout believer who could enter the "Perfect Land" and become an angel in the future.
This not only did not make Emperor Roselle surrender or hesitate, but instead aroused his desire to fight.
"The Emperor later became the world's public enemy because of this kind of resistance?" Klein nodded in his heart.
At the same time, he noticed what happened to Zaratul, and suspected that this "miracle worker" had begun to strive for the Sequence 1 rank after obtaining the Antigonus family notes, and had planned many things for this. As a result, something went wrong during the promotion and he turned into a monster. Of course, just as "Magic Mirror" Arrodes said, maybe Zaratul was not out of control, but was just hiding something and plotting something.
After a quick glance, Klein turned the page and looked at the back. This was not continuous and was new content:
"On October 5, several followers of the 'Original Moon' were captured by the black-clad organization I founded, and were unable to complete the corresponding sacrificial ceremony.
"Some of the things they showed made me curious, and it seemed like the powers they had were really directly derived from the Crimson Moon.
“Unfortunately, a large amount of data shows that this red moon is really an asteroid and it really is orbiting our planet. So, how does it combine physics and mystery?
"With my current abilities, it's not impossible for me to go to the Red Moon. It will just be troublesome and difficult, but it doesn't seem necessary."
“On October 7, I finally made up my mind.
"I will try to switch to the similar 'Mystery Voyeur' path. Only in this way can I become a Sequence 1.
"I have always suspected that the Hidden Sage was originally a conceptualized uniqueness, but later, due to some accident, it developed intelligence and fully awakened. Therefore, the Sequence 1 position of this path is most likely still vacant!"
