Chapter 810: Diary
"On October 1, I decided to build some 'wonders' before I was officially proclaimed emperor, and I don't know whether to build an 'iron tower' or build a triumphal arch in Baifeng Square......
"Well, maybe we can build a Great Wall in the area where the border between the north and the Fursack is also built? Or build a large lighthouse in one of the ports in the Misty Sea to the west......
"In short, if these projects are started at the same time, we will be able to 'reasonably' requisition a large number of manpower and funds, prepare building materials, and hide my plan to build a 'mausoleum' to the greatest extent......
"It's just that building a 'spectacle' is very difficult even in this post-industrial era, and I don't know how many people will die and how many families will be shattered in it......
"Not to mention, after this large amount of financial expenditure, the minimum guarantee policy that I originally planned will inevitably be put on hold."
"What would Bernadette think of me? Will she be disappointed in her old father?
"However, it is a necessary sacrifice! Only by becoming a true god can you get off the chessboard and become a chess player! ”
Did Russell start building the "mausoleum" before he became emperor? In other words, after he made the decision to become a "black emperor" across the paths, it was an inevitable choice to become emperor......
Also, I remember that Zarathu had prophesied that Rosell's eldest daughter, Bernadette, would turn his back on him...... Maybe that's why? Lao Huang did a lot of bastard things in his later years...... No wonder it was overthrown...... Tsk, Emperor, the spectacle is misguided!
Thinking back to the description of the Sequence 0 ritual on the "Black Emperor" card in his hand, Klein sighed and continued to look at the rest of the page:
"On October 2, I presented my plan for the 'Spectacle' in Congress...... the 'Tower' project passed without much opposition...... But the resistance of the Great Wall and the Great Lighthouse was unexpectedly ......
"But it's right to think that the 'Tower' project can absorb the excess steel production in the country in recent years, and save the steel mills of many legislators' homes, and they are naturally happy to see this project pass.
"The construction of the Arc de Triomphe took away from the state finances, and it did not affect their interests, nor did it dismiss my face.
"But the lighthouse, which can regulate the order of ocean-going trade, may touch the interests of some families who were originally familiar with hydrology and some senior captains...... After all, although it is convenient to have a lighthouse to pilot, it also lowers the threshold of this industry.
"Not to mention the Great Wall...... They must have thought that I was going to use it to fight smuggling and smuggling, right?
"But it made me realize that these wonders are not for nothing...... At least when confronted with Bernadette's cross-examination, I had a good reason. ”
This is the end of the page, and when Klein puts it down, he can't help but sigh in his heart, because as far as he knows, of all the "wonders" built by the Emperor, only the most useless "Arc de Triomphe" remains, and it was actually finally built thirty years after the Emperor's death.
Among the other wonders, the "Rossell Tower" was toppled on the day of the fall of the Gustav dynasty;
And the Great Wall, as a history student, Klein had never heard of it, as if it had never existed;
As for the big lighthouse...... With the development of the times, more lighthouses have been built to replace its original role......
However, there are different theories about the fate of this massive tower, which is said to have been destroyed by the ship's cannons, some said that it was lost in the trench due to an earthquake, and others that it mysteriously disappeared before the fall of the Gustav dynasty......
Although it has only been more than 100 years, the Great Lighthouse has become a well-known historical mystery.
In the history department of the University of Tingen, there are even scholars who specialize in the lighthouse.
I remember that Mr. Azik was very interested in this mystery...... In the midst of the turn of thoughts, combined with the magical experience of the previous week, Klein had some guesses about the whereabouts of the Great Lighthouse: Could it be that the realistic prototype of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" is that wonder?
It was dragged into the fantasy world by Russell, buried at the entrance of the "Chaos Sea" mentioned by the "Tower", and then transformed it, which formed the current "Dream Labyrinth Tower"?
If this is written and published, it will solve a historical problem...... Even those who don't believe in it will probably take it as nonsense, and those who believe in it are afraid that they will come to the door immediately......
After a few words of self-deprecation, Klein turned to the next page of the diary, submitted by Miss "Trial":
"On April 16th, after nearly a week of hard work, I finally got my wish and coaxed Lady Julia to bed!
"This conservative blonde beauty who married from Rune gave me a very beautiful experience that the Countess of Valingan, the Countess of Fulice, the Lady Karen, the Miss Dedellosé and others could not match.
"Maybe it has the psychological bonus of solving a problem, the wonderful effect of the health potion that Cullen has newly prepared for me, or maybe Julia's attitude of refusing to welcome gives me a different kind of stimulation......
"Anyway, I am very grateful to Viscount Delien for marrying this beauty to Trier."
Seeing this, Klein deliberately glanced at the date of the diary, and complained in his heart:
April 16? Very well, I remember that in the diary I got last week, you only met the Lady Julia on April 11th, and you reflected on yourself and thought about a bunch of philosophical questions during this time...... It's only been a few days, and after drinking the potion provided by Karen, you're indulging again?
Thanks also to Viscount Delien...... No wonder the Delien family rushed to the front line in the overthrow of the Gustav dynasty......
Shaking his head, Crane flipped to the second page of Miss Hugh's diary, and after a slight glance, he saw that it was a continuation of the previous page......
He thought about it, and finally read it carefully:
"On April 17, he again had a negative tryst with Julia at a private party with the Earl of Valingan...... Gu Zhen
"Maybe it's because she broke through the bottom line in her heart, her body is no longer as resistant as it was yesterday, and it has brought me a completely different good feeling.
"However, after the event, she fell into my arms and cried about her dissatisfaction with married life, her resentment against her family, and her dislike for her husband......
"Just when she thought she was going to ask me to save her from the 'devil's cave' like a knight, she made a request, saying that she wanted to be extraordinary, to be a 'hunter', and that I could help her gather recipes and materials......
"I was a little surprised by this, but I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the recipe for Sequence 9 is just that, and it's not hard for me to find a 'child of steam'.
But the request itself shows that Julia is actually very sober, and is not willing to be ordinary, knowing that strength is the foundation of everything, and it is better to rely on others than on herself...... This is a lady with a lot of ambitions!
"Maybe I didn't conquer her, but she 'trapped' me through means......
"Yes, even if I saw through her thoughts, I didn't plan to put on my pants and admit it...... And, I'm looking forward to seeing her transform.
"It's that when you exercise with her in the future, you have to pay attention to it, so as not to be calculated by her again."
Tsk, Lady Julia later became a "hunter"? At this time, Russell didn't know that the "Hunter" path would be denatured in the "Predator Knight" stage...... I don't know if the lady ended up becoming a demigod.
With a "tsk", Klein continued to browse through the contents of the last page of his diary:
"On April 20, through some investigations, although there was no evidence, I still had a vague feeling that there might be something wrong with Julia's identity.
After all, with the kind of family environment she has on the surface, she shouldn't be able to cultivate such a transparent and scheming girl......
"But otherwise it's so perfect that you can't find anything wrong......
"I told Cullen about this, but he didn't bother to tell me that Julia was either a member of some secret organization or a spy for MI9 in the Kingdom of Rune...... And the latter is more likely.
"After all, the secret organization will not be so meticulous in weaving personal resumes.
"However, if she wants to be extraordinary, I am afraid it is not the arrangement of MI9, but her own will...... As I thought before, she had ambitions to take control of her own destiny.
"The reason why she chose 'Hunter' as the starting sequence is probably so that her future children will not be suspected of the extraordinary nature of carrying other pathways—the Delion family itself has an incomplete 'Hunter' pathway.
"And I was specially asked for this recipe, and eighty percent of them had the purpose of involving me, the 'child of steam', after the matter was 'revealed', and muddying the water.
"What a calculating woman, the 'Hunter's follow-up 'Conspirator' may be a good fit for her!"
Could the wife of the former head of the Delien family be a spy from MI9? Could the family still be under Rune's control now?
I remember that the current prime minister of Intis came from this family......
And the last time the Tarot Club talked about the "lust" of Envoy Owen as the "Psychological Alchemy Society", Miss "Trial" said that the "MI9" had already grasped this information, but would not take the initiative to arrest it......
If the Delien family and MI9 have this connection, then it makes sense...... It's all their own!
Well, Mr. "Tower" seems to have been collecting information about the Derion family before, and I can sell this information to him as a favor later...... Before Miss "Trial" showed him the diaries.
Crane flipped through the last page of his diary and picked up the legend of the "Scourge Queen" provided by Little Sun.
During the whole process, there was silence in the majestic palace, whether it was "justice" or "moon", they were thinking about what to trade and what to exchange in the future.
Abner thought about exchanging "Dixie Pie" for "Sun" later.
Because of Lilith's mission and Russell's "You're early", he is now interested in the "Queen of the Scourge".
The "hermit" Gadelia encountered a similar situation for the first time, but she was not cramped and uneasy at all, but carefully analyzed the information revealed by this scene:
"This is not the first time it has happened...... Mr. 'Fool' has a habit of reading Russell's diary at tarot parties...... Members are actively or passively gathering for Him, but are unsure if they are paid in advance......
"He can really read Russell's diary...... Looking for the secrets that have sunk in the long river of history?
"Just now, the 'Sun' mentioned that the information he handed in was the legend of the 'Queen of the Scourge'...... Who's this? An old god? ”
At this time, Klein had roughly finished browsing the information of the "Scourge Queen".
In general, there is not much content, after all, most of the information in Silver City comes from the country of "giants", and they know more about giants and giants' rival dragons, and the elves who are allies. The information is not very complete, and some information is basically left by word of mouth.
Of all the few that have been seen, most of them have been seen in the murals that were once displayed in the "Tower", and only one description caught Klein's attention:
"The 'Queen of the Scourge' has a close relationship with the 'Goddess of the Harvest' as the queen of the giants, and has been a guest in the Silver Land many times...... This caused the dissatisfaction of the 'beauty gods' who defected to the elves, and the relationship between the two gods was very poor. ”
