Chapter 435 Plotting Against the Immortal King
"I have already consulted Mr. Fool," and Mr. Fool's meaning is quite clear: He will not give you the method of interpretation.
However, you can ask Mr. Fool questions by submitting a diary entry.
Klein had no intention of teaching anyone how to read Chinese characters, so he once again decisively rejected Bernadette, leaving her no room for doubt.
Bernadette sighed with some disappointment, but she wasn't surprised at all.
"These are two pages of a diary. Please pass them on to Mr. Fool. My question is quite simple: where is the ninth mausoleum my father built?"
As the mausoleum of George III neared completion, profound changes were taking place in the world situation, and Bernadette was very nervous.
Although she had long ago decided to do everything in her power to prevent George III from becoming the "Black Emperor," the risks were still too great, especially since she had already revealed her hand to George III. It was impossible for George III not to be wary of her.
So now, besides cooperating with Robert and Irwin's plan to clip George III's wings, Bernadette is looking for other ways to prevent George III's promotion.
The simplest and most effective way is definitely for the previous "Black Emperor" to be resurrected and return.
If the previous "Black Emperor" were to return, then even if all the gods were united, they would not be able to reverse the defeat of George III. This is a fact that has been proven in the Fourth Age.
Bernadette has been searching for the truth behind her father's death for many years, and in doing so, she has willingly accepted the knowledge imparted by the Hidden Sage.
Bernadette is now quite certain that the Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of the God of Steam and Machines joined forces to find and destroy her father’s eight tombs, with the last one still missing.
This also means that there is still hope for the resurrection of Emperor Roselle, and that his true form may be in that tomb right now.
Bernadette longed to find the mausoleum before George III ascended the throne, hoping to help her father resurrect. Although the contamination that might hinder his resurrection could be very troublesome, Bernadette always held onto a certain hope until she saw it with her own eyes.
At this moment, Klein took the opportunity to glance at the diary in his hand.
These two pages of diary were discovered to be the last diary of Emperor Roselle.
December 29th, another new year is almost here.
All the mausoleums have been built; there's no turning back now.
I think I'm not the only time traveler in this world.
One last reminder, please remember this:
Watch out for the moon!
As is well known, Chinese characters are very concise prophecies, and after becoming the "Occupy House", Klein's memory improved significantly.
-
So even though he only glanced at it, Klein had already read most of the contents of those two pages of the diary.
These two pages of the diary completely confirmed that Rosell had indeed risen to the position of "Black Emperor" through a different route. However, because of the information provided by Evan earlier, Klein was not surprised by this. Instead, he paid more attention to Rosell's final warning.
"Beware of the moon? What does that mean?"
Could it be referring to "Beware of the evil god, the Primal Moon"?
"You can just say that!"
Wait, it seems Roselle has plans to explore the moon after becoming an angel?
Did he actually put it into practice? That red moon was clearly very evil!
Russell's warning was directed at the time travelers. Did he discover some secret about time travelers on the Red Moon?
Or does the primordial moon possess special abilities targeting time travelers?
In the factional divisions of the Extraordinary World, the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the "Primordial Moon" are among the most ostracized. Since the Mother Tree of Desire can detect the existence of gray mist, does the Primordial Moon possess the same ability?
Klein took Rosell's final warning very seriously, not only because Rosell was from the same hometown, but also because he had already witnessed the horror of the "Mother Tree of Desire".
He had only used the gray fog to divine the origin of the werewolf's "extraordinary characteristics" before it discovered his trail, and very accurately and clearly sent people to Backlund.
This is something that neither the Eternal Sun nor the True Creator could accomplish, yet the "Mother Tree of Desire" managed to do it.
Could the "Primordial Moon," which is on par with the "Mother Tree of Desire," be the mastermind behind Roselle's madness in his later years?
These thoughts flashed through Klein's mind, but he didn't show them on his face. Instead, he put away the diary in his hand and said hesitantly, "Actually, Mr. Fool once revealed his speculation about Emperor Roselle's final secret tomb!"
"Oh? Mr. Fool actually mentioned you. It seems you are highly regarded by him! What did Mr. Fool say?"
Bernadette looked at the bounty hunter in front of her once more, feeling that she needed to reassess his worth.
Her father, Emperor Roselle, famously said:
Even if you don't care about the clergy, you have to consider the gods behind them.
How much face to give to a clergyman depends on how much the deity behind him values him.
Clearly, the person in front of him is highly valued by the person behind him, and is able to listen to his teachings at any time.
I once heard Mr. Fool say that Emperor Roselle might very well have built his final tomb in the abyss at the end of the Misty Sea, or on a mysterious, primeval island!
That was the result of Emperor Roselle's seafaring explorations in his youth!
Although the location of Roselle's final resting place has never been mentioned in the diaries collected so far, Klein, based on his own experience and understanding of Roselle, is 90 percent certain that Roselle would do so!
The reason he used the identity of "The Fool" to tell Bernadette was twofold: firstly, he didn't want to frequently enter and exit the gray fog and let Bernadette discover anything; secondly, he wanted to prevent guessing wrong and at least have a layer of cover.
"The island he discovered during his youthful explorations? The abyss?"
Bernadette repeated Klein's words, then looked up, her gaze blankly fixed on the bare wall on one side of the cabin. She said, "The reason I boarded this ship, besides wanting to explore the Forsaken Land again after my successful advancement and to contact you, was to see Uncle Edwards' descendants. I didn't want to show myself and burden her, but it seems that's impossible now!"
As Bernadette spoke, bathed in the sunlight streaming through the cabin windows, she transformed into a cloud of multicolored bubbles and vanished into Klein's cabin.
Edwards? One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse under Emperor Roselle, and also his most trusted subordinate?
As a history student, Klein immediately wondered who Edwards, whom Bernadette had mentioned, could be!
Lieutenant General Iceberg's name is Edwina Edwards. Could she be a descendant of Edwards? Isn't she from Remberg?
As a trusted subordinate of Emperor Rosell, Edwards must have been suppressed by the new regime after Rosell's death. It is not impossible that he moved his family to Remnburg and converted to the god of knowledge and wisdom.
The end of the Misty Sea is the Abyss, a fact that should not be a secret to Bernadette, who has now become an angel. Therefore, she wants to get clues about the primitive island from Edwina Edwards.
That primitive island was very secluded. If Roselle really did build his ninth tomb there, it's possible that Edwards, who also landed on the island, was in charge of its construction.
While Bernadette went to find Lieutenant General Iceberg, Klein took four steps backward and walked onto the gray fog again.
These past few days, because of Bernadette, he hasn't dared to enter the gray fog casually.
Because it was unclear when Bernadette would return to her cabin, Klein dared not delay in processing the prayers of the Tarot Club members over the past few days.
Mr. Hanged Man asked Mr. Fool to tell Mr. World the information he had gathered about the movements of the Four Kings and the Seven Generals.
The "Admiral's Future" appeared near Bayam, the capital of the Roside Islands, and was seen mingling with local resistance groups, seemingly searching for something.
Meanwhile, "Hell General" also seemed to have taken an interest in "Blood General". The pirate ships under their command collided in the waters of Sonia and a small-scale conflict broke out.
Admiral Blood continued to inquire about clues about the "Golden Dream," clearly still intending to cause trouble for Vice Admiral Iceberg. He even took the initiative to appease Admiral Hell in the conflict over this matter.
After a period of silence, Tracy, who was recovering from the illness, has recently become active again, and she is doing so in an unusually high-profile and undisguised manner.
"Twilight Admiral" and "Deep Sea Admiral" also appeared around the Sunia Sea for unknown reasons.
As a result, all seven pirate generals gathered in the Sunia Sea, making it even more lively than the pirate conference convened by "King of the Five Seas" Nast a few months ago. After all, not all pirate generals believed in the character of "King of the Five Seas".
What concerned Klein even more was that the "Hanged Man" mentioned that the "Immortal King" Agarito had once again set out to search for the legendary Fountain of Youth.
Because of Evan's generous sharing at the Tarot meeting, everyone at the meeting now knows that the "Fountain of Youth" is a trap.
The "Immortal King" Agarito was using this to lure in a large number of people.
Based on Klein's recent analysis of information from the sea, he discovered that all clues to the "Fountain of Youth" pointed to the Forsaken Land.
In other words, the "Undying King" Agarito should be on the outskirts of the Forsaken Land, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Klein's heart pounded wildly, knowing that there was an angel on board the "Golden Dream" at that moment!
Moreover, according to information previously provided by Evan, Bernadette possesses more than one level 0 sealed artifact.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, Bernadette alone has the ability to "kill the Undead King".
For Klein, eliminating the "Undying King," the most brutal pirate king of the sea, would not only rid the people of a menace but also provide a rare opportunity to observe the power of angels up close.
The only time Klein witnessed an angel intervene was when that mysterious angel closed the door between the mysterious city behind Evan and reality.
However, the scene of the gate that kept releasing monsters being gradually erased is not very convincing.
"If I could witness firsthand how Bernadette deals with the Undead King, Klein would gain a correct understanding of the power of angels, which would be of some reference value for his future actions against 008."
Suppressing his urge to immediately leave the gray fog and go to Bernadette to discuss the hunt for the Undead King, Evan turned his attention to the prayers of the others.
Miss Justice Audrey will be meeting with a senior member of the Psychological Alchemy Society tomorrow, and is praying for Mr. Fool's protection.
"The Sun" Derrick returned to Silver City from the temple ruins last week, bringing back a little boy who had traveled from reality to the Forsaken Lands, proving that the Giants' Court is Silver City's hope for leaving the Forsaken Lands.
This week, Derrick began investigating the secret behind the decrease in monsters around Silver City, and as instructed by Mr. Fool, he now reports on every bit of progress he makes.
By participating in patrols, Derrick found several corrupted monsters and discovered that these monsters had also become unlike themselves and had even developed some intelligence.
At the same time, he discovered that those monsters, who were usually more like cold-blooded assassins and used to like to launch surprise attacks, had become unusually bloodthirsty and belligerent, and were actively challenging the patrol members of Silver City head-on.
Derrick even suspected that the decrease in the number of monsters around Silver City was the result of monsters fighting each other.
After capturing the monsters alive and handing them over to the elders, the elders announced that the monsters had been corrupted by an unknown force and voluntarily reduced the already expanded patrol area.
After watching Derrick's prayer, Klein felt that the monster he was talking about sounded a lot like the contaminated workers in the Great Upland Uprising.
After Bernadette leaves, I'll find some time to contact Evan!
"Sigh, it's so troublesome not having a occult messenger. If either of us, Evan or I, had one, our communication wouldn't be so difficult!"
Klein deeply felt the inconvenience of not having a messenger and resolved that after leaving the Forsaken Land, he must find a messenger as soon as possible!
After watching Derrick's prayer, Klein projected the image of the Hanged Man's prayer onto the crimson giant representing Evan. He then glanced through the gray fog at the cabin where his body was located and, finding that Bernadette had not yet returned, left the gray fog.
Back in his cabin, Klein began to familiarize himself with the abilities he had just gained after his promotion. It wasn't until dinner time that Bernadette reappeared before him.
"I have achieved my basic goals in this trip to the Forsaken Land, and it is time for me to leave. I will contact you through a messenger later, asking you to deliver the diary to Mr. Fool and ask him some questions!"
"Madam, please wait a moment. Are you interested in hunting the Undying King, Agarito?"
