Plagiarized manuscripts—no, creative manuscripts—should be considered valuable books... Could this be a " Card of Blasphemy "? Klein's heart skipped a beat, he lightly tapped his teeth, and quietly activated his Spirit Vision.
However, he found nothing unusual.
He then scanned other bookmarks, only to get the same answer.
Indeed, if it were so easy to detect, I wouldn't be here to harbor such thoughts... Klein deactivated his Spirit Vision and re-examined the possibilities using the details he learned from Roselle's Diary and the personality traits revealed by that emperor.
According to his understanding, since Roselle said that the book with the " Card of Blasphemy " was very valuable, it could not be too ordinary. Otherwise, it would not satisfy that strong perverse taste to use a lot of valuable knowledge to set off an inconspicuous bookmark, so that the recipient would be unknowingly mocked.
Therefore, books that are valuable but not particularly valuable can be disregarded. As a result... Klein looked around carefully, trying to discern the details, completely ignoring what the guide was saying.
"Judging from all the information, the only thing in the entire 'study' that fits the criteria seems to be that creative manuscript. The others are only of average value. Given Roselle's personality, he definitely wouldn't choose them. Hmm, Roselle is the kind of person who thinks, 'I'll hide the secret in the most conspicuous place, but you'll never find it...'" Klein thought to himself while adding a "hehehe" emoji to the Emperor's expression.
Of course, he couldn't be certain that the bookmark was a disguised " Card of Blasphemy," because Roselle's collection of valuable books clearly included works in the field of mysticism, which the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery would certainly not exhibit!
"Hmm, we need to confirm if it's a ' Card of Blasphemy ' before considering whether to take action... It's a pity that January 20th can't be used to eliminate possibilities; nobody knows which day each bookmark was inserted into the book..." Klein muttered to himself, then turned to the pausing guide and asked with a smile:
Are any of the books on the shelf with things tucked inside like this?
"For example, a note written by a noblewoman to Roselle."
This question elicited knowing laughter from many of the men, while the female guide shook her head and said:
"No, no. Books with extra contents have been picked out and placed here for everyone to see."
"This is merely a restoration of Emperor Roselle's study, not a restoration of the study at a specific point in time; it doesn't need to be maintained in a certain state without change."
Klein immediately smiled and said:
"I see, this is truly disappointing..."
This is fantastic! There's only one bookmark that needs verification in the entire exhibition hall, which drastically reduces the difficulty... He happily added to himself.
As the guide introduced " Roselle's Favorite Books," Klein once again looked around, observing the overall layout of the exhibition hall.
To recreate the room from over a hundred years ago, there are no gas lamps around the exhibition hall.
The lighting mainly relied on the convex windows with iron bars a few meters away and the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
As for the brass lamp stand on the desk, it didn't hold any candles; it was purely decorative.
Klein looked out the bay window and saw the withered, yellow lawn and a straight, dark iron lamppost.
He noted down the location, then turned his gaze back to the books the female guide was introducing, his mind beginning to analyze the feasibility of the Stealing plan.
"One premise is that, according to Roselle, neither the major churches nor the various ancient royal families wanted to see him spread the ' Card of Blasphemy ' and disrupt the stable order that had lasted for over a thousand years."
"Therefore, if I were the archbishop in charge of handling this matter, I would simply set fire to all of Roselle's remaining items. If the ' Card of Blasphemy ' could be completely destroyed just like that, the result would perfectly align with the gods' intentions. If the ' Card of Blasphemy ' is difficult to destroy, it will inevitably reveal its abnormality after being burned."
"Since Roselle's belongings are still there, it means that he must have somehow convinced everyone, including the gods, that he had given away all the ' Card of Blasphemy ' and left none behind."
"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some churches or ancient families might try to use the ' Card of Blasphemy ' to complete a certain Beyonder Pathway they need, but this possibility is very small, because this would give Roselle the opportunity to form alliances and build a united front, and there is no need to go so far as to spread the ' Card of Blasphemy ' to disrupt order."
"In that case, his diary would show a certain degree of confidence and corresponding worries, and it would be impossible for him to be nothing but pessimism, only thinking about relying on that ancient Concealment organization."
"Furthermore, more than a hundred years have passed, and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery is responsible for preserving these relics, has conducted countless supplementary searches. Therefore, almost no one would still believe that the ' Card of Blasphemy ' is hidden here."
"In other words, the security level for this exhibition won't be too high."
"Moreover, and very importantly, the entire Backlund is in a state of turmoil and fear because of that serial killer ' Devil.' The Beyonder of the three major churches are conducting a city-wide search and investigation. The number of personnel that the ' Machinery Hivemind ' team can allocate to this unimportant exhibition is certainly very limited."
"Yes, the most valuable item to protect here is Roselle's diary. Many wild Beyonder worship the Emperor and believe that those 'original symbols' contain profound mysteries, giving them the motive and ability to Stealing. Therefore, the guardians' focus is definitely on that exhibition hall."
"Go back to the Gray Fog and perform Divination to verify my analysis."
"However, we need to verify beforehand whether it's a ' Card of Blasphemy,' otherwise, if we risk a lot of trouble and go to great lengths only to steal an ordinary bookmark, I might as well go back to the graveyard! Hmm, how do we verify it? I can't wait until I sneak in again to do it, and I don't have the chance now... I need to find someone else to help me... I must be careful!" Klein followed the guide intently, seemingly listening very carefully.
Miss " Magician," she's an " Apprentice," capable of walking through walls and doors, almost like possessing a " Master Key," making her a good candidate... but she's only Sequence 9, and the infiltration verification mission is too dangerous for her...
Miss Hugh? No, she's not cut out for that... Ask her to get the thief's help? No, that won't do. There are Beyonder guarding this place; the thief would most likely be caught red-handed, thus revealing that someone was after Roselle's bookmarks...
Miss Sharron? She's strong enough and in good shape for this kind of mission, but the problem is, the " Card of Blasphemy " is a divine artifact capable of causing most Beyonder to kill each other. I don't trust her yet...
Klein's mind raced as he analyzed the help he could find.
Gradually, he settled on one target:
Miss Justice!
She comes from an distinguished family, belonging to the nobility. Is it possible that she could use her wealth and power, under the pretense of interest, to touch that bookmark? Hmm, the chances are not small, and this method wouldn't alert anyone, which would be beneficial for me to sneak in Stealing later... The more Klein thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
As for how to verify it, since the " Card of Blasphemy " is anti- Divination and anti-prophecy, he can only think of one method for now:
That is, to try and destroy that bookmark!
Anti- Divination and anti-prophecy doesn't mean that using similar methods on an item containing a " Card of Blasphemy " will result in failure or interference; otherwise, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting guilt?
The real meaning is that even if you get the " Card of Blasphemy," Divination with it is the same as Divination with an ordinary thing, or the ordinary thing it's Divination as.
Anyway, I can't guess what kind of "activation password" the Emperor set, so I can only use this simple and crude method to confirm. If the " Card of Blasphemy " can indeed be destroyed, then it can only be said that I'm not destined to have it yet... Hmm, given the Emperor's preferences, perhaps I can try an activation spell...
He once joked in his diary, "Want my treasure? Then come to the end of the Sonia Sea to find it," and the " Card of Blasphemy " is one such treasure!
The activation spell is set to the Ancient Hermes corresponding to "onepiee"? No, that would make it impossible for anyone to obtain it unless a second time traveler appears, which doesn't align with the Emperor's idea of creating chaos and disrupting order. So, what's the Hermes or Ancient Hermes word corresponding to "Pirate King"?
Klein gradually solidified his idea and paid more and more attention to the layout of the exhibition hall.
Led by the female guide, they left the restored study and entered another exhibition hall.
After everything was over and they were free to move around, Klein asked, somewhat embarrassed:
"Excuse me, I'd like to know where the restroom is? Upstairs?"
"No, the upstairs area is the office area. Just walk straight down this road, then turn left, and you'll see it," the female guide politely pointed in a direction.
Taking this opportunity, Klein figured out the location relationship between the restrooms and the major exhibition halls, and sketched out a rough layout in his mind.
Around noon, he left the Kingdom Museum without doing anything and returned to 15 Minsk Street.
Klein originally wanted to directly instruct Miss Justice in the tone of " The Fool " to tell her that his " Blessed " needed help, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this would damage the image of Mr. " The Fool ".
As a mysterious and unfathomable figure, he had to appear calm and collected. He couldn't keep asking for help on behalf of the " Blessed," and at least he couldn't bring up such matters in person time and time again... Klein thought for a while and quickly came up with a solution.
He decided to directly transmit the images and sounds of the " Blessed " pleading for help to Miss " Justice ".
During this process, Mr. The Fool doesn't say anything!
Klein sighed, drew the curtains, rubbed his cheeks, and began to pray to himself:
" The Fool That Doesn't Belong to This Era;"
" The Mysterious Ruler Above the Gray Fog;"
" The King of Yellow and Black, who holds the key to good fortune."
I pray for some help;
"I pray someone can help me access the bookmark tucked inside Roselle's creative manuscript;"
"Help me do some very small, barely noticeable damage to it, and tell me what the reaction is. You can silently recite the Hermes or Ancient Hermes for 'Pirate King' during this process."
"Whoever offers help, even if there's no response whatsoever, I'm willing to give them £500 as a reward, deducted from the £5,000 that hasn't been paid yet."
"If there's a response, I'm willing to give more."
After doing all this, Klein waited a moment before entering the Gray Fog and saw the light screen displaying his prayer.
After Divination that " Stealing bookmarks from the Kingdom Museum at night" was somewhat dangerous but not very dangerous, he extracted the prayer messages, thickened and increased the "mosaic" effect, adjusted his voice to be slightly distorted, and then threw them into the illusory star symbolizing "Miss Justice ".
