The mausoleum is already built... There's no turning back once the arrow is released... Klein stared at the diary in his hand, his mind racing with thoughts, various ideas constantly emerging and then shattering.
In his view, this diary entry by Emperor Roselle almost proved his previous conjecture: in his later years, he chose to forcibly switch to the " Black Emperor " path, attempting to become a true god of Sequence 0 at the cost of half-madness!
What exactly drove the Emperor to make such a decision? What was the cause of the turmoil, impulsiveness, and loss of composure in that previous diary entry? And compared to then, the Emperor's emotions in this diary entry seem calm and restrained, yet they give off a more extreme feeling... It's hard to imagine what the Emperor encountered and experienced in his later years, to the point that his personality even began to mutate... Is it the madness inherent in the Angel themselves, or is it a problem with the faith of the beings anchoring His reason? Hmm, shouldn't he normally be more timid and cautious, waiting for an opportunity to devour the " Hidden Sage "? Klein thought of many things in an instant, but couldn't find any evidence.
This parchment page contains only two short lines of text, seemingly indicating that this is the last entry in the diary of Emperor Roselle, at the end of this year or the beginning of a new year, when he may have perished in the White Maple Palace.
The last words of a great emperor and a time traveler? Klein sighed inwardly, then turned to the parchment below without any outward sign of anything amiss.
This page of the diary has no date, but the heading is written in Ancient Feysac:
"Right after the one we just saw."
The words in this line are written in beautiful and neat handwriting, which is clearly different from the handwriting of Emperor Roselle, and it is obvious that someone else added them.
It must be a note made by the " Mystery Queen "... to explain that this is the end of the diary, written by the Emperor after he had no way to turn back? But why is there no date? Klein, filled with deep doubt, read on, his gaze freezing as he began to read:
"I think I'm not the only time traveler in this world."
"If anyone can still understand my diary, remember to carefully choose your Beyonder Pathway."
"Once this is determined, it also means that your allies and your enemies are roughly determined as well."
"I can't offer any specific suggestions because I can't see the Seven Gods clearly, nor can I see the true faces of those evil gods. This may be related to part of the contents of the second ' Blasphemy Slate ' hidden by that ancient organization. Unfortunately, I can only guess that there is a hidden part, and I can't confirm it."
Similarly, I don't know what was written on the first ' Blasphemy Slate '.
"A useful piece of advice is to avoid choosing a path where the position of Sequence 0 is already occupied, and to be careful of Sequence 0 and Sequence 1 that are close to each other. I learned this the hard way."
"As for what Sequence 0 represents, if you don't know yet, remember to collect my other diary entries."
"Hehe, this page is like the epilogue of my life. If I succeed, then it will be a divine rebirth, another story. If I fail, then there will be no aftermath. I guess, um, you know what I mean."
"Go, my friend who can read my diary, go and explore the secret of our time travel and the truth hidden within it. I will be watching you, if I am still alive."
One last reminder, please remember this:
"Watch out for the Moon!"
Klein wasn't surprised that there was more than one time traveler, since he had long known of the existence of Emperor Roselle, his "predecessor."
What puzzled him was, from what events and details did the Great Emperor discover that there was more than one time traveler?
This is crucial; it holds unparalleled significance for Klein's journey home!
This is like an equation with several unknowns. If there aren't enough examples or sufficient conditions, no matter how you try to solve it, you won't get a definite answer. Only when there are enough equations can you hope to find the correct solution.
Hmm... The Emperor must have Record this discovery in his previous diary, but unfortunately, I don't know which part it was, so I can't specifically ask for and search for it... Klein sighed silently, then turned his attention to the other contents of the so-called "postscript":
Does the second " Blasphemy Slate " presented by the " Hermits of Fate " contain hidden content?
"Was it something they deliberately concealed, or did they never actually obtain... the second ' Blasphemy Slate ' was actually divided into two parts, with the other half falling into the hands of another faction?"
"My path has been determined, and this was chosen based on the lament in Emperor Roselle's Diary... Judging from the meaning of those words in the Emperor's 'Postscript,' I can be a little more at ease, that is, the ' Seer ' path does not have Sequence 0, because Zaratul, this madman Sequence 1, still exists. According to the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Conservation, hehe, this subdivision may also be called the Law of Incompatibility, if there is Sequence 1, there is no Sequence 0."
"What I need to be careful about are Zaratul, Mr. 'The Door,' Amon the ' Blasphemer,' and Pallez Zoroast, as well as other Sequence 1 that may exist within these three pathways."
What does "Be careful of the Moon" mean?
Beware of the ' The Moon Primordial '?
"You can just say that..."
"Wait a minute, it seems the Emperor once had the idea of exploring the Red Moon. Did he eventually put it into practice and discover something on the Moon, thus warning other transmigrators to be the Moon?"
Is the Moon related to time travel?
"Hmm... The Emperor's tone suggests that He seems to have some backup plans and may not necessarily perish completely. He might be watching me closely... There should also be clues about this in some of the earlier diaries..."
One conclusion after another, one question after another, flashed through Klein's mind, and then settled down one by one.
He made the diary in his hand disappear, and turned his head to look at the " The Hermit " Cattleya:
"Is there anything you want to ask?"
" The Hermit " Cattleya pushed up her thick glasses perched on her nose and bowed her head respectfully, saying:
"My esteemed ' The Fool,' I would like to know if it is possible that Emperor Roselle is still alive?"
Upon hearing this question, the members of the Tarot Club, who were preoccupied with their own affairs, simultaneously snapped out of their reverie and looked toward the head of the bronze table as if strongly stimulated.
Although whether Emperor Roselle is still alive has no direct relation to them and will not have a significant impact, such a topic is enough to stir up the latent human desire for rumors and gossip!
I thought that after I was promoted to " Psychiatrist," I would be immune to things like this... Sigh, I'm really curious!" " Justice " Audrey looked at Mr. " The Fool " with bright eyes, waiting for him to give her answer.
Of all the members, only " The Sun " Derrick wasn't particularly interested in the matter. The reason he looked at the head of the bronze table was simply because everyone else was doing the same.
As expected, the " Mystery Queen's" questions were mostly related to the diary provided that time... Klein didn't seem embarrassed and chuckled skillfully, saying:
"Maybe."
His use of "perhaps" in his answer indicated that Emperor Roselle had hoped to save himself, but whether he ultimately succeeded or whether something unexpected happened was beyond the scope of the question and there might not be an answer.
Perhaps... what " The Fool " means is that it's really possible that Emperor Roselle is still alive? " The Hermit " Cattleya and the others were as if they had heard the world's biggest secret, and they were both excited and thrilled.
However, they also discerned the underlying meaning in Mr. The Fool's words: due to the insufficiency of the notes and his own recent awakening, he could not be certain whether Emperor Roselle had seized the opportunity, and all of this would have to wait and see with more clues and evidence in the future.
Regardless, Emperor Roselle should have been somewhat prepared for his assassination.
Without giving " Justice " and " The Hanged Man " time to consider these issues, Klein leaned back in his chair and said calmly:
"It's your turn."
" The Magician " Fors quickly pulled his thoughts from the imagined tale of Roselle's later years and looked towards the head of the bronze table, saying:
"Dear Mr. ' The Fool,' I request a private conversation with Mr. 'World,' which will be concluded soon."
What was there to discuss with Gehrman Sparrow? Wasn't Mr. X's matter settled? Klein thought to himself, puzzled, as he nodded slightly.
"Can."
Then, he blocked the senses of the other members and Manipulation "the world" to chuckle in a low, hoarse voice:
"Is there anything else?"
Fors hesitated for two seconds before saying:
"Here's the thing, Mr. X's brain earned me a considerable reward, but I feel that the compensation I paid was insufficient to match the difficulty of the task, so I would like to compensate you with a sum of cash."
How much are you hoping to receive?
"Not bad, you know to proactively compensate me..." Although Miss " Magician " can be a little greedy sometimes, she's still very honest. "Well, making a profit in trading is normal, it can't be considered greed..." Klein, pleasantly surprised, sincerely praised her, prompting "The World" to chuckle and ask in return:
How much can you pay?
" The Magician " Fors hesitated for a moment before saying:
"5000 pounds."
She converted the reward given by her teacher into £10,000, intending to give half to Mr. "World". Moreover, since she needed the formula, crystal ball, and extraordinary materials, she planned to sell the two properties and give the money in cash.
Fors was so generous for two reasons. First, he genuinely felt the mission was more difficult than he had anticipated and the reward was too meager. Second, he was increasingly afraid of "The World," Gehrman Sparrow, and dared not offend this mad adventurer and terrifying bounty Hunter.
The Abraham Family has given quite a reward... Klein laughed Manipulation the "world":
"If you can use a large amount of gold coins instead, you can pay less; it depends on how many you can collect."
"I'll try my best." Although Fors found it strange that Mr. "World" valued gold coins so much, as he had said the same thing when trading with Ms. " The Hermit," she didn't dare to ask him.
She paused for a moment, then asked:
"Mr. World, when do you need to use ' Lemano's Travel Notes '? I plan to rent it out before or after that to earn some money and extravagant abilities."
Rent it out? Rent out the magical item? Klein was stunned for a moment, never expecting that the " Magician " lady would have such a business mind!
