The Queen at the Memorial Exhibition
Located at No. 2 King's Road in the West Borough, the Royal Museum is the largest and most comprehensive museum in the Loen Kingdom, boasting a collection of cultural treasures from Northern and Southern Continents. Inside, besides various artworks and artifacts from the Kingdom itself, there are also numerous exhibits from the Balam Ancient Empire in the Southern Continent. From dried mummies to lacquered coffins, colossal stone statues of kings, ceramics, paintings, ritual implements, and Golden Ornament... nothing is lacking.
It is said that the artifacts of the Balam Ancient Empire were all legally purchased from the Southern Continent by the "adventurers" of Loen and sold to museums as commodities.
In the afternoon, Luther arrived alone in front of the Royal Museum.
Having already been acting crazy for quite a while that morning, and following his usual pattern, he expected to have a long period of lucidity afterwards. So he refused his sister's company and decided to go to the exhibition alone.
After all, the things Roselle Exhibition were likely related to the world he had traveled to before, and he didn't want his sister to discover anything by acting strangely.
Speaking of which, Cecilia has already advanced to Sequence 8, but she hasn't really Acting yet.
How should an "Instigator" Acting? Judging from the name, it should be someone who incites others to do bad things... That Demoness named Trissy stirred up trouble on a ship, causing people to kill each other...
Luther pondered, a conflicted look on his face.
It seems difficult to find a way... Oh well, let her experience it herself first, then I'll think of something for her.
As he walked to the Square in front of the museum, he saw a long queue. Gentlemen and ladies, dressed appropriately and holding tickets, moved forward step by step with the composure of the middle class, occasionally talking in hushed tones.
As I said before, there are too few entertainment options in this era. Visiting museums requires spending a small amount of money to buy tickets, and you can see many precious cultural relics, which is very suitable for the entertainment and artistic needs of the general public.
When will we ever get a turn in line...?
Looking at the long queue, Luther rolled his eyes. He walked to a blind spot in the building, his body instantly turning into a shadow. Then, in shadow form, he slipped into the shadows of those in line, leaping one by one towards the museum.
The museum entrance is divided into different channels, with different guides leading a dozen or so Spectator to different exhibition halls. This method allows for efficient use of space and enables as many people as possible to visit at the same time.
Luther randomly picked a group that looked good and followed in their shadows.
He quickly realized that there were extraordinary individuals in the exhibition hall, but they were few in number and of low rank... they were probably just acting as guards.
After entering the exhibition hall, Luther emerged from the shadows in a secluded spot and followed the group at a distance. The group was a temporary formation and they didn't know each other well, so they didn't notice that he hadn't been in the group earlier.
After walking a few more steps, they entered the first exhibition hall.
As soon as Luther entered, a golden toilet immediately came into view.
"Please look, everyone. Here are some of Roselle's everyday items."
The guide passionately explained, "Emperor Roselle's inventions revolutionized people's daily lives and greatly improved their quality of life. For example, this first modern flush toilet on my left... Please don't laugh, this is extremely important to human civilization."
Before this, Trier, the capital of Intis, was Filth and rife with disease... It was thanks to Roselle's inventions and the sewers he oversaw the construction that it became the magnificent "City of the Sun" it is today.
Luther's gaze swept over the gold toilet, diamond-encrusted goblets, luxurious clothing, velvet carpets, sterling silver cutlery, and other items in the glass display case, a smile playing on his lips.
This time-traveling predecessor is living a really comfortable life.
That's true. Now that he's become emperor, how could his life not be wonderful?
Unfortunately, even emperors eventually meet their end... According to historical records, he became Indifference and autocratic in his later years, was betrayed by nobles and the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, and was killed in his own palace.
The group followed the guide and arrived at an exhibition hall filled with various documents. According to the guide, these were original manuscripts of documents issued by Roselle, including important documents such as the Civil Code.
Unsurprisingly, Luther found Roselle's Chinese diary among them.
"This is Emperor Roselle's secret notebook, using special symbols he invented himself. Roselle never revealed the meaning of these symbols to anyone, not even his children. Although numerous archaeologists, cryptographers, and symbologists have studied it, unfortunately, no one has been able to decipher the secrets of these notebooks to this day..."
"That's what the guide said regretfully."
Luther glanced down.
Inside the display case, the notebook lay open, and on it was written, "March 6th, damn it! The food here is making me constipated!"
It's best not to decipher this secret.
He muttered to himself as he continued looking down.
This appears to be an early diary of Roselle, containing complaints about the food after his time travel, confusion about Intis's open relationship, and visions of his future ambitions.
Speaking of which, I should probably collect some of Roselle's diaries.
Luther thought to himself.
He also remembered that Roselle's Diary at Blackthorn Security Company provided him with Acting Method, saving him from many detours. And the diary in Enmat Harbor provided him with knowledge of Jumping Pathway.
Judging from the contents of his diary, Roselle must have become a big shot in the extraordinary world. His diary probably contains many more unknown secrets that could be helpful to me.
Luther thought to himself.
Since his transmigration, he hadn't had a chance to do these things. He was previously trapped in Tingen, but now that he'd just settled down in Backlund, he could start collecting some.
The open diary had only one page to read. After reading it all and confirming that there was nothing of value, Luther caught up with the rest of the group.
The group followed the guide and walked towards the next exhibition hall.
"Please look, everyone. This exhibit shows the tender side of Emperor Roselle," the guide said. "Here we see the toys, building blocks, and dolls he invented for his children..."
Her tone was no longer passionate, but softened, as if she had been moved.
Following her explanation, Luther casually glanced towards the display case.
Then, he froze for a moment.
Before the display of various utensils that Roselle had made for his children stood a tall woman with long chestnut hair.
She wore a black soft hat that obscured her face, revealing only her slender and well-proportioned figure. The woman wore a skirt on top, riding trousers on the bottom, and black boots, a unique yet perfectly suited style.
The woman stared at the display case for a long time without moving.
Of course, Luther wasn't attracted by her beautiful profile. Rather, it was because of the woman's unique attire, which he had only seen on one other person.
That Queen.
As if sensing Luther's gaze, the chestnut-haired woman slowly turned her head and looked over.
She didn't look happy.
