"Why?" asked Audrey, the " Justice," instead of the " The Sun."
Alger " The Hanged Man," didn't answer directly, but continued speaking to himself:
" Abraham, Antigonus, Amon, Jacob, Tamara were the five great families that supported the establishment of the Tudor Dynasty, second only to the Blood Emperor."
"Among them, the Amon Family is the most mysterious, leaving behind the least history, as if it has been Distortion and covered up by some force."
"A rumor has been passed down from Nast, the ' King of the Five Seas,' that the Amon Family is Blasphemer family, possessing the secret to Stealing divine power!"
"Furthermore, the Amon Family claims to be descendants of the Ancient The Sun God."
Derrick Berg was momentarily confused; within his knowledge of mythology, there was no Ancient The Sun God!
"The Giant King Ormir, the Imaginary Dragon Angorvid, the Alien King Kvahithun, the Elf King Suniasolem, the Destroyer Wolf Fregra, the Vampire Progenitor Lilith, the Phoenix Progenitor Gregarie, and the Demon King Fabti—none of these eight ancient gods wields the power of the 'Sun'..." Derrick pondered this question seriously. "If we really want to make a connection, the Creator of all things, the omniscient and omnipotent God, has indeed demonstrated divine power in the realm of the 'Sun.' Could the Amon family be His descendants?"
Seeing that " The Sun " remained silent, " The Hanged Man " Alger stroked his stubble and said:
" The Amon Family is an ancient family from one or two thousand years ago, almost equivalent to history. I'm very curious, why was the gentleman you met able to appear around City of Silver? And what was his purpose?"
"Yes, the Amon Family lives in the 'world' of Mr. ' The Hanged Man ' and Ms. ' Justice.' Why is he able to appear in the area around our City of Silver...? Why did he agree to 'visit' but then leave strangely without keeping his promise, causing an entire squad to go out of control, except for that captain...? What is he trying to do? What is he searching for? If he is truly a descendant of God, perhaps his purpose is the same as mine: to find the cause of the Cataclysm in ancient times and to uncover the truth behind the curse..." " The Sun " Derrick was lost in thought for a while before shaking his head and saying:
"Mr. ' The Hanged Man,' I cannot answer your question, which is also something I'd like to understand."
Alger responded with slight disappointment:
"Then you should talk to that former captain next door more often and see if you can dig out any new information."
After saying this, he thought for a moment and then added a word of advice:
"However, you must be careful and cautious enough; I think that person is very dangerous."
"Very dangerous? You think so too?" The Sun asked Derrick, quite surprised.
The elders of the Council of Six also thought so!
The Hanged Man looked up at the towering dome, took a silent breath, and said:
"Anyone who doesn't think that way is mentally unstable."
Seeing that " the Sun " was still somewhat confused, he shook his head and said:
"He was the only one left alive in the entire exploration team, and that alone is enough to suggest that there's something seriously wrong with him."
"Having spent forty-two years in a dungeon designed for the out-of-control, yet remaining perfectly lucid and rational, only highlights his eccentricity!"
"And with that mysterious Amon added to the equation, the danger is obvious."
These were all bits and pieces that Derrick had thought about but hadn't yet connected, and now, hearing them, he suddenly understood and immediately said sincerely:
"I see."
"Thank you, Mr. The Hanged Man!"
Listening and observing with great interest, " Justice " Audrey resisted the urge to cover her face, thinking that " The Sun " was even more naive than herself.
Seeing that everyone's curiosity had been satisfied, even the gloomy "World" adjusted his posture slightly, and " The Sun " seemed to have nothing else to ask for help with, she turned her head to look at the head of the bronze table and smiled faintly:
"Mr. The Fool, I would like to speak with you privately."
Here we go again... Klein chuckled and nodded slightly.
"Can."
He immediately blocked the senses of the " The Hanged Man " and the others, rather than isolating himself from Miss " Justice," mainly because he was worried that others might get bored and chatter randomly, thus revealing the truth that "the world" was just a broken record.
After receiving the hint, Audrey smiled and said:
"Dear ' The Fool,' I have three more pages in Roselle's Diary."
After the " Card of Blasphemy " was stolen by the Fool's retinue, she didn't feel guilty and stopped going to the Kingdom Museum. Instead, she acted as if nothing had happened and openly begged her father to give her another chance to look through the "notebook" this week after the exhibition ended.
Audrey believed this would make her appear open and honest, and was the best way to avoid suspicion.
If they always seem guilty and don't do things according to normal logic, then even if the Church of Steam didn't suspect anything before, they will find something wrong later.
Based on her own experience, she believed that the first few pages of a diary often revealed more information, so she mainly memorized the first three pages.
Before the " The Fool " could speak, she quickly added:
"I understand this isn't something that needs to be discussed privately, but I hope to keep it from Miss ' Magician ' for another one or two weeks. That way, even if she finds out later that you need Roselle's Diary, she won't doubt that I am ' Justice '."
She met with Fors and Hugh once during the week, and by guiding the conversation, she naturally mentioned that her collection of Roselle's notes had been chewed up by her dog Susie and was beyond repair.
Normally, she wouldn't need to hide the fact that Mr. The Fool needed Roselle's Diary anymore, but she used her " Mind Reader " ability to simulate Fors's thoughts and figured out how he would think:
"What? That's a diary? That's Roselle's diary Record his secrets? Even Mr. ' The Fool ' values it!"
"Um, I remember Miss Audrey had some, wait, her diaries were just chewed up by a dog a few days ago."
"Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"
To avoid giving the other person that impression, Audrey hoped to keep it a secret for at least another week.
After becoming a " Mind Reader," she could not only directly see the target's aura and emotional state, and read their superficial thoughts, but also begin to simulate other people's thinking. She realized that in the process of "guiding" others, one should avoid abrupt, illogical, and unreasonable behavior. Only when all details are smooth and reasonable enough that the target doesn't realize they are being guided or manipulated can one be considered a qualified " Mind Reader."
"Gentle" and "reasonable" are the two most important words! Audrey concluded in her mind.
--She went back to Roselle's "notes" precisely to avoid anything illogical.
As expected of the " Mind Reader," she had recognized the " Magician " lady as one of the two he had recommended long ago... Klein smiled noncommittally:
What would you like to exchange those three pages of the diary for?
He asked the question with considerable confidence, because after obtaining the Book of Secrets, his biggest weakness in the field of mysticism had been overcome, and he had also mastered a great deal of the mysteries of the other gods and the knowledge of the Sequence. He could easily answer Miss " Justice " with any of them.
If we don't mention the " Psychiatrist's" prescription, we're still good friends... Klein thought to himself.
Audrey had already considered this question, and after a moment of hesitation, she said:
"Mr. The Fool, I have a question. Why is it said that the ' Card of Blasphemy ' holds divine secrets?"
Good question! Klein chuckled inwardly, and with a look that said, "You get what I mean," he said in a low, calm voice:
" Sequence 0, Black Emperor."
Sequence 0? There's another Sequence 0? Sequence 1 0 1? Is this Sequence representing a deity? " The Black Emperor " is a deity? A series of questions suddenly flooded Audrey's mind.
This surprised, delighted, satisfied, and shocked her!
Suppressing her excitement and barely concealed exhilaration, she took a breath and materialized the three pages of Roselle's Diary.
Klein took it in his hand, glanced at it quickly, and confirmed that it wasn't one of the ones he had seen before.
"February 23, 1143. I've been in this world for over a week now. I need to write something down, to express certain things, otherwise I feel like I'll go crazy."
"Hehe, I'll write it in simplified Chinese, so no one will be able to decipher it. This world is all alphabetic!"
"I am now Roselle Gustav, but I will never forget my real name."
Huang Tao!
"I don't know exactly how I time-traveled. I thought about it carefully for a long time before I remembered that a few days before I time-traveled, I bought a very mysterious silver plaque. It was engraved with some strange symbols and patterns, and it was really interesting."
"However, after I crossed over here, it never reappeared."
"It's not my cheat code!"
"Yes, this is a world similar to ancient Europe, after the Renaissance. Cannons and guns have appeared, but they are quite rudimentary and primitive."
"As for me Huang Tao Roselle Gustav, as a fan of online novels, I used to really enjoy the time-travel/technology genre and learned a lot of useful things from it, even going so far as to read about the relevant knowledge!"
"This is the stage where I can truly shine!"
"But I've discovered that I have a terrible memory! I've forgotten almost everything!"
"Heaven sent me to this world, but didn't give me exceptional memory, a system, or a two-way portal. How am I supposed to survive like this?!"
"Alright, let's start with the details. Once I have the money, I'll hire a bunch of Artisan, inventors, and scientists to help. I'll just provide the ideas!"
"It's been a long time since I've felt this hopeful for the future."
"But I still miss my Old Man and mom a little..."
"Moreover, the entertainment in this world is too monotonous. None of the maids are particularly attractive, and they all reek of rural rusticity, which completely ruined my expectations of a romantic evening reading with a beautiful woman by my side."
"I haven't finished watching my 'The 500 Losers of Lingao yet, I still have so many 'girls' on Douyin to watch, and my 'Honor of Kings' and 'PUBG' games are waiting for me to 'pluck' them. Thinking about it makes me a little melancholy."
As Klein read, he almost frowned.
He had initially judged from references like "Pirate King" and " Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse " that Roselle had traveled ten years earlier than him, but now he realized that the time gap between their time travels was no more than a year!
But why is there a nearly two-hundred-year gap here?
