Chapter 11: A Page of Diary
Above the gray fog, inside the palace with a towering dome.
"Fool" Crane glanced at the "sun" and the pre-embodied "world" pulled in advance, pinched the spreading spirituality, and touched the crimson stars representing "Justice", "Hanged Man", "Magician", "Moon" and "Hermit".
Streams of light rose up, and relatively vague figures appeared on either side of the bronze table.
Audrey the "Justice" had just returned to the castle from the forest farm and had changed into a dress, with lace cascading cuffs and rounded pearls.
She stood up lightly and skillfully, lifted the hem of her skirt, and saluted:
"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'~"
Klein's mood improved a lot, and he nodded with a smile and responded to the other party.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh secretly:
"A new rich man spends so much money, how much does a nobleman like Miss 'Justice' usually have to spend......"
After the members greeted each other, he leisurely looked at the "Hermit", knowing that the pirate general would most likely provide a new Russell diary.
As he expected, the "hermit" Gadelia took the initiative to speak:
"Mr. 'Fool', I have collected another page of Russell's diary. ”
Isn't the "Mystery Queen" supposed to be able to take out a copy casually? Klein, who has been tested for the past few days, did not see a trace of abnormality, and said softly:
"That's not a problem. ”
Gadelia immediately revealed a page of her tawny diary, and watched it fall into the hands of Mr. "Fool" in a spiritual manner.
Crane looked down casually, slightly stunned to find that the page of the diary did not have a corresponding date at the beginning.
That is, it is the second page of the connected diary...... Why didn't Bernadette take the first page as well, she should be able to make a preliminary distinction, after all, old Neil could do it...... Did she not? Or was the diary completely messed up and confused, and it was difficult for her to restore the correct order? Does this mean that after the fall of Russell the Great, his belongings were looted and scattered by various forces, and Bernadette was not able to resist at that time, and only began to do the corresponding things when she became the "mysterious queen"...... Klein guessed as he quickly read the contents of the paper:
"What a surprise to me, the Quaternary history revealed by Mr. 'Gate' is becoming more and more interesting.
"This hapless fellow, trapped in the storm and lost in the depths of darkness, told me that the 'Black Emperor' died once and came back to life.
"This is strikingly consistent with something mentioned within the ancient secret order, where they said that if the nine secret tombs of the 'Black Emperor' were not all destroyed, the god who walked on the earth would be able to awaken and be reborn from one of them, even if he did die.
"And even if all nine mausoleums are destroyed, as long as there is still a certain amount of remnants of the order established by the 'Black Emperor', he can be strangely resurrected and returned, and only the birth of a new 'Black Emperor' can make him completely annihilated and never appear again.
"According to Mr. 'Gate', the process of resurrection of the 'Black Emperor' has three stages, one is that the 'uniqueness' is separated from the owner and conceptualized and abstracted, the second is that the subjects of the 'Black Emperor' hear the majestic voice of the god again, and the third is that the 'Black Emperor' who has fused 'uniqueness' reappears in the 'Astral Plane', and the extraordinary characteristics of the three sequences 1 automatically return to their emperors, which is an order that no other true god can reverse and cannot be stopped.
"In this way, the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Night Emperor', who are also in the same path sequence 1 'Prince of the Killing Order', are quite embarrassed, and it is likely that they will instantly fall out of their status and regress to Sequence 2. Mr. Gate said that the "Lord of the Storm" and the "Goddess of the Night" chose the "Night Emperor" and helped him to turn to a similar and extraordinary path, the "Inquisitor" path, and the "Tudor-Trenthorst United Empire" was divided.
"And the 'Blood Emperor' Arista Tudor, who was cornered, made a crazy decision to turn to an extraordinary path that was not close, and forcibly promoted to the true god at the cost of losing his mind and becoming a madman.
"I have to say that this decision is full of irrationality, and there is almost no possibility of realization, but Mr. 'Gate' told me that Arista Tudot finally succeeded, and the craziest true god was born!
"It's really incredible, but Mr. 'Gate' didn't go into specific details and had reservations.
"I asked Him which was more difficult to accept, madness or death, and He said of course it was death, because as long as you live, even if you are completely insane, there is no way to recover.
He laughed and gave an example of a true god who can instinctively mate with all kinds of creatures and give birth to all kinds of offspring, and in the process, if lucky enough enough to expel all the extraordinary characteristics of the conflict, the madness will improve little by little as the time passes.
"Mr. 'Men' deliberately didn't say what the problem would be, and didn't explain why almost no one made a similar choice, but I could tell that there must be a huge hidden danger.
"I have to say that Mr. 'Gate' has a better understanding of the things of the true God than I could have imagined, and it is likely that he was already trying to impact Sequence 0 before he was banished...... No wonder He was full of disdain for Zarathu and had no respect for the true gods.
"I don't want to put Him back into the real world. ”
It's so informative...... It is worthy of a page of Bernardette's diary that was specially selected...... Wait, why did she choose this page? What did it mean to her? From this day on, Russell the Great slowly went wrong and eventually went crazy? madness......
Don't...... No way...... Russell's situation at that time was very similar to that of the "Blood Emperor" Arista Tudot, the original path had been cut off, and the adjacent path was blocked by people or things, so it was not so easy to climb...... Could it be, could it be, that he, under tremendous pressure, made the same irrational decision as the "Blood Emperor" and tried to switch to a non-adjacent path?
In this way, the madness of his later years is to really lose his mind, not to be splashed with dirty water, no wonder Bernadette turned his back on him, hated him, and tried to find the truth...... From this point of view, it is interesting to see that Russell forcibly ascended the throne as emperor, Russell promulgated the Civil Code, replacing the original rules with the order of the 18th and 19th centuries of the earth, and Russell spread his own quotations and promoted his own aesthetic ......
Hehe, I really underestimated this fellow and "senior", I always thought he was cosplaying Napoleon and Caesar, entertaining himself, it turned out to be preparing for the "Black Emperor...... No, I have also read a few pages of his diary at that time, his thinking is clear, his emotions are normal, and he can even communicate deeply with a certain aristocratic lady and a certain aristocratic lady......
Well, he may not have made the final decision at that time, but he was consciously leaving a way back?
As a usurper, the promulgation of new laws is an inevitable choice, and among the objects available for reference, the Civil Code is relatively most in line with social conditions and historical processes......
The subsequent act of becoming emperor should be something that Bernadette finds incomprehensible and a little difficult to accept...... As Russell's favorite child, she may have noticed a certain anomaly before her father became emperor, so she chose the longest diary written by the emperor during that period for the "star general...... Crane involuntarily thought about it, as if he saw the heavy history hidden in the depths of the fog turn a page in front of him, filled with the smell of blood and rust.
This made him more and more curious about the fuse that led to Russell's eventual madness.
At the same time, he also solved some of his previous doubts:
"It turns out that the 'Black Emperor' returned to be resurrected in this way, which is very similar to my previous guess......
"In the history of the Quaternary Age, there is still a 'Tudor-Trenthorst United Empire', supported by six gods, such as the 'Lord of the Storm' and the 'Goddess of the Night'...... The two side-by-side thrones in the underground ruins of Williams Street seem to explain that they belong to the United Empire......
"According to Mr. 'Gate', the six gods chose the 'Night Emperor', which led to the split of the United Empire, so who helped the 'Blood Emperor' catch or kill the three 'Hunters' in Sequence 1? Among them, the 'Red Angel' Medici is most likely stronger than the 'Blood Emperor' at that time...... Primordial Witch, Grim Reaper, Primordial Moon, Cosmic Dark Side, Mother Tree of Desire?"
Klein guessed by enumeration, but had no clue.
He quickly made the diary disappear and smiled at the "hermit":
"What are your requests?"
Gadelia did not hide it, and asked calmly:
"Who else is the protagonist of this diary besides Russell the Great?"
Her question suddenly made "Justice" Audrey look sideways at Mr. "Fool", her eyes were bright and full of curiosity, and even her ears seemed to be propped up.
"The Hanged Man" Alger They are also very interested in this, they can be written in the diary by Russell the Great, they are definitely not ordinary people!
Klein vaguely guessed their thoughts, and couldn't help but complain in his heart
That is, this diary was carefully selected by Bernadette, and if it is changed to something else, I have to tell you that the other protagonists are witches, witches, hunters, hunters, noble lady so-and-so, and lady so-and-so......
After thinking for two seconds, Crane, who leaned leisurely on the back of the chair, replied with a smile:
"Mr. 'Door'. ”
Mr. "Door" ...... The existence that can be called so by Mr. "Fool" is at least close to the gods, right?" "Justice" Audrey guessed the identity of Mr. "Door" from the tone and words, and got a certain answer.
"Hermit" Gardelia and others also had similar thoughts, but no one knew who Mr. "Men" was, and when they looked at each other, they all shook their heads.
Seeing that "Magician" Furth had the same reaction as the other members, Klein deliberately looked at the lady and chuckled:
"You should be no stranger to Him. ”
"Huh?" "Magician" Furth looked dazed.
She didn't think she knew the so-called Mr. "Door" at all.
The other party's grade seems to be very high!
