On Monday, the tarot will.

Crane, who had returned to Beckland, was quickly overwhelmed by the overhead of playing a rich man.

According to the list reported by the housekeeper, in addition to the house with an annual rent of several hundred pounds, maintaining the status of a wealthy man required a valet, two maids of the first class for the bedroom, two maids of the second class for the living room of the living room, two manservants for the reception of guests, a maid for the storage room, a maid for the kitchen, two maids for washing, and two manmaids for rough work.

In addition to these, a cook, two gardeners, two coachmen, or a coachman, a coachman's assistant, if necessary, a squire, a small worker, a domestic nurse, a cook's assistant.

There were also horse-drawn carriages, after which it was necessary to have two, a four-wheeled sedan for about £300 and a two-wheeled one, roughly £100......

In addition, there are wine cellars, estates, hunting grounds, occasional balls, and even horses and necessary pets, all of which cost so much that even Crane, who is holding a large sum of more than 3,500 pounds, has a tingling scalp for a while.

He has now decided to hire Mr. Walter as his butler, and his expenses are on the line.

More than 3,000 pounds is difficult to maintain the rich character of "Dawn Dantès", not to mention the 10,000 pounds of gold coin reward of Miss Messenger.

Therefore, he even looked forward to the arrival of Tarot, so he escaped from reality for a short time, and hurriedly sold the magical item "Lucky Scale" and other items that were no longer of much help to supplement his family.

It would be nice if he could take away the 42,000 pounds bounty of the "blood generals...... Crane sighed, but it was a pity that "Gelman Sparrow" made that play in Byam was really appalling, and made him show his face fiercely in front of "Aquaman" at sea.

Even finding an inconsequential passerby to claim the reward would attract the attention of the military, Byam, and the Church of the Storm at the same time.

Gelman Sparrow's bounty is even higher than that of Seigno!

Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, Crane had no choice but to give up the forty-two thousand pounds.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

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".

A ray of light then rose, and the figures of the relative Mohu appeared on both sides of the bronze long 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'~"

Crane was in a much better mood, 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......"

At the same time, he noticed that the "hermit" lady had the intention to speak, and speculated that the other party might have recovered some of the Russell journals that Bernadette once had through her own means.

He cast a glance, and Gadelia immediately revealed a page of tawny diary, watching 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.

"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 had died once and had come back to life. ”

"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', she can be resurrected and return strangely, and only the birth of a new 'Black Emperor' can make her completely annihilated and never appear again."

"...... 'uniqueness' is detached from the owner, conceptualized and abstracted, and the 'Black Emperor' who has fused 'uniqueness' reappears in the 'Astral Plane', and the extraordinary characteristics of the three-part sequence 1 automatically return to their emperors, 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 sequence 1 of this pathway, the 'Prince of the Killing Order', will be quite embarrassing, and it is likely that they will fall out of their form in an instant and regress to Sequence 2." Mr. Men' said that at that time, the 'Lord of the Storm' and the 'Goddess of the Night' chose the 'Night Emperor' and helped her to turn to a similar and extraordinary path, the 'Inquisitor' path, and the 'Tudor-Trenthorst Empire' was divided. ”

"And the 'Blood Emperor' Arista Tudor, who was cornered, made a crazy decision, that is, to turn to an extraordinary path that is 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 Alista Tudot finally succeeded, and the craziest true god was born!"

Crazy...... Go to a non-adjacent pathway...... Potions and Uniqueness ...... Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in Crane's head.

It suddenly occurred to him that just yesterday, he had used his secret puppet Seigor to go to the mysterious Quaternary ruins that harbored evil spirits with Sharon in the form of a resentful spirit!

There were originally three chairs, each with a lifeless humanoid restraining on them......

It is suspected that the three Extraordinaries at the top of the "Hunter" path died there at the same time, and there may also be Medici with "Uniqueness" among them, so that the Extraordinaries are constantly attracted to it, including the heir of the Pound family, and the "Red Priest" card.

So who exactly performed this horrific ritual in that mysterious ruin?

Sacrificing three angels in sequence one to seek the throne of God?

Combined with this page of the diary, the figure of this model lake in Crane's mind suddenly became clear, there is no doubt that the archon Alista Tudor was originally supposed to be the sequence one of the "Black Emperor" path, of course, not adjacent to the "Red Priest"!

Under the threat of death, the archon chose the sequence one of the three "hunters" to hunt down the path and was promoted to the true god "Red Priest"! And succeeded, and became a crazy true god!

It's so informative...... It is worthy of Bernadette's diary...... Wait, finally crazy? Crazy......

Don't...... No way...... Russell's situation at that time was very similar to that of the "Blood Emperor" Arista Tudor, 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 was a real loss of reason, not being splashed with dirty water, no wonder Bernadette Gustave turned his back on him, hated him, and tried to find the truth......

Hehe, I really underestimated this fellow and "senior", I always thought he was cosplaying Napoleon and Caesar, entertaining himself, it turned out that he was 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 something unusual before her father became emperor...... Crane couldn't help but think 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.

The nascent Church of the Grim Reaper was busy dealing with the two silent cities, and the meeting was soon over, and everyone had their own hands to do.

And under their propaganda, there are constantly people from the Southern Continent who can't survive and people from the Southern Continent who are fishing in troubled waters flock to these three cities, which has brought a huge challenge to the city's security.

You never know if the oncoming person is good or bad, just as it's hard to tell whether the police officers and church members who are policing and arresting criminals on the streets of Byron are alive or dead.

"I won't consider relocating my children in the Northern Continent for the time being, because there are not enough places in the Southern Continent to house them, and the money in my hands can only support some people, otherwise the people in charge don't need to wear multiple hats to earn funds."

"But I'll be ready at any time."

"What is Siea's attitude? If she's struck a balance between the two roles, how is she going to deal with the indulgents, the crazy subordinates, and the rebels, who have become terrorists? ”

After a brief collaboration meeting with the Church of the Grim Reaper, Richard chased him out and kept asking.

Edward reluctantly replied, "Let it be." ”

"After indulging for a long time, there will always be some people who will forget that their true selves may not be so indulgent, and the same is true after a long period of moderation."

"For them, who have long been accustomed to it, even if the right method is in front of them, it may not be possible to do it."

Richard breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that she is willing to publish the results of this experiment to everyone." ”

"Actually, you are the first prisoner to try to achieve a balance, it is not advisable to blindly temper without exploding, and it is equally undesirable to blindly indulge without suppression, and the method used by Siea is a reference to the simple and crude version you did later, but it is enough."

A smile appeared on the corner of the Angel of Temperance's mouth: "If she is willing to put the shackles on the indulgents, I will give her aid." ”

Edward snorted:

"There's no need for Soea to change the way you play in the School in order to win you over, your influence in the Temperance School is even worse than Renette Tinicol. If you want to participate, you'd better be covert. ”

"They really think that the former leader of the rebels will become an angel of temperance when he is scared, nesting in small places in the north and south continents to do charity, and they will really feel that the orphans and old people raised by you are your anchors."

"Of course, you're just an angel, and they don't have to do anything to your anchor."

The anchor possessed by the Angel of Temperance is unknown, and in the eyes of the Church, Richard Ernst has at least a million anchors in the Northern Continent, including charity hospitals, workhouses, and orphanages, her subordinates, and those she saves. These can be counted by the number of people rescued by the Ernst Foundation, and the number of people will fluctuate with the amount of funding received each year, which is easy to estimate, but at least it is worth one or two large cities, and the anchor of the southern continent is completely unknown.

Even the rebels occasionally chanted a few words of the Angel of Temperance, after all, it was their former leader and had the most brilliant record.

As an angel, such a number is quite a lot.

However, both Edward and Richard knew that the stability of the Angel of Temperance did not depend on an anchor, but on their own beliefs.

"You told me that 'Mr. Gate' Bethel was exiled to a distant place for thousands of years, and there are no followers of 'Gate' in the world today except for the Abrahams, so according to our logic, she should have gone mad or defected to the enemy."

"Since 'Mr. Men' can fight madness and pollution with his own will and faith, then I may not be unable to do it."

It's just a matter of cutting out some unnecessary emotions and purifying your beliefs and desires.

"I'm an uneducated Southern Continental, a rat-eyed, ungrateful wolf, and without bait and meat to feed, I'll want to bite the meat of the person who feeds me, isn't this a normal thing?"

Richard quipped himself disapprovingly, and then began to plan to coil the beads: "I see, thanks for the reminder." Is there anything else I can do for my teacher lately? ”

"Nope."

"It's a pity, it's hard to find a job these days." Richard asked, "Teacher, where did the lamp you were holding go?" ”

"Gave it away."

Seeing that Edward began to be perfunctory, Richard also changed the topic with a very good eye:

"Is the current Pale Emperor really the Grim Reaper?"

Edward nodded.

Richard looked up at the mural on the high dome and sighed with emotion: "Just last year, she and I had a quarrel because of political differences, and I had business dealings with her, and in a blink of an eye, she was no longer in this world. ”

"When Thea was alive, she had already racked her brains to deal with the Church of the Seven Gods, and the little remaining strength was spent on retaking Aldra, which took half a year. After the Grim Reaper returned, he recaptured the other two cities in one day, leaving the church in the Northern Continent silent. ”

"Is this the disparity in power? Or is this the difference between man and God? ”

"Under such a gap, I even think that people are just ants, and God is human. In the battles of the past and present, no matter how the ants bite you to the death, no matter how far civilization and technology have developed, as long as people step on it, there is nothing. ”

"Living in such a world is really powerless and angry."

After all, this was in the palace of Emperor Bairan, Richard did not say these words too loudly, nor did he let the people around him notice his emotions, and after being silent for a long time, she couldn't help but ask:

"What does Byron have in mind at the moment?"

War is about everyone, and Richard had to prepare in advance.

Edward said casually, "Byron's declared war targets are Rune and Intis, and considering the adjacent paths, the Grim Reaper chose Rune. ”

"This made Fursack also choose to wait and see in vigilance."

"Hasn't there been a single result from last year's Great Smog of Beckland?"

"It's indicated."

Edward walked out of the gate of the palace, came to the aisle in front of the palace, and magically took out a small scroll of paper from his pocket:

"Fursack's spies have investigated the truth about the Great Smog...... After all, the emperor of the neighboring country may be about to become a god, and the upper echelons of Fusak are of course extremely vigilant. They have now determined that the 'Great Smog' incident was almost directed and staged by the royal family of Rune, and the three major churches also put pressure on George III afterwards, and George III did give huge benefits to the church, so it doesn't matter who the real culprit is. ”

Richard sneered: "I've seen a lot of similar things, everyone's life has a clear price, if I have enough chips, I really want to invite them all to die." ”

"You have."

"I'm sorry to kill myself, and I don't think about it."

"You didn't agree just because your life didn't sell for an expected price, and if I offered the condition that all the seven gods be eliminated, you would definitely agree very happily."

"But I'm not worth the price." Richard replied with great emotional intelligence. And if you could, you probably would have done it a long time ago.

Edward didn't say anything more, she unfolded the small scroll of paper and read, "The Vorsack Empire has basically determined that the royal family of Rune has reached some kind of cooperation with the Witch Sect, but the reward is so high that the witches are willing to keep it a secret. Most of the traffickers and slave traders they caught identified witches, and there was a lack of a witch to identify George III. ”

"What else does the Primordial Witch need?" Richard pondered, "Is the hunter's sequence one or unique?" ”

"Perhaps." Edward put down the note and looked ahead, "What Fursack means at the moment is interesting. On the one hand, they hope that the Byron Empire will declare war first to attract Rune's firepower for them, and the Byron Empire is also the most suitable. Then they took the opportunity to pour the dirty water of the big smog truth on it and declared war under the pretext of humanitarianism. I thought it would be the best, but there was a strong resistance to all of this, knowing that if they came first, they would be ostracized by the North Continent, but they still wanted to do it first. ”

"It's weird. It is also very meaningful. ”

Richard wasn't very sensitive to these things, not to mention that she knew that the "Angel of War" was still in the Aurora Society—every high-value mechanical container was her personal blessing—"So what's the ...... situation now?" ”

Edward smiled heartily.

"There are still many places in the southern continent that need to be recovered, and a declaration of war does not necessarily mean that we will immediately rush to the northern continent."

"So I advise the Grim Reaper to declare war immediately."

"Just tomorrow."
