Klein thought back to Mr. Azik's reply, thinking about how to get the information out of the way. His first thought was for Mr. Fool to continue to 'remember', but that would seem very abrupt, so the only solution was to let the 'world' speak.

As soon as he thought of this, Klein immediately manipulated the 'world' and said in a deep voice:

"I know an elder who personally experienced the Battle of the Four Emperors in the Fourth Age. He told me that he had once seen the Blood Emperor, who was as tall as a mountain and wore a bright red cloak. It's just that his eyes are unusually crazy, almost irrational, and on the verge of losing control. And the resurrected True Black Emperor, who sits on a huge throne and looks down on the earth......"

Through the mouth of the world, Klein repeated Mr. Azik's reply word for word from the perspective of a bystander.

However, the members of the Tarot Society have different emphases on these words.

"Elders? A 'elder' who has personally experienced the battle of the Four Emperors, and even survived to the present? That's at least a demigod! ”

'Moon' Emlyn White looked at the 'world' with some shock, among so many people in the Tarot Society, he had always felt that the 'world' and 'lovers' were the most mysterious, and now he was even more determined to do so!

After all, it was a demigod who had lived for thousands of years, and it was conservatively estimated that it was also a family that had been passed down for thousands of years, as old as the existing royal families. Although such a force is not as good as the blood clan, it can be regarded as the best among the human race.

Unlike 'Moon', 'The Hanged Man' was equally shocked that there was a demigod elder in 'The World', but he knew one thing better than 'Moon', that is, among all the Tarot Society, 'World' was the only one who appeared as a dependant of Mr. 'Fool'.

And the elders in the mouth of the 'world' are likely to be demigods or even angels under the seat of Mr. 'Fool'!

It is only natural that the world, as a dependent of the 'Fool', can obtain some secret information from the demigods or angels under Mr. 'Fool' that ordinary people cannot know. But why is 'the world' suddenly mentioned? This kind of information shouldn't have been let them know......

Wait a minute!

Alger's heart suddenly sank, and he rearranged the matter.

This topic started from the 'world', it was he who guided Ember to the underground ruins, and it was he who led to the matter of Bansey Island-

God of the Weather, Skinbringer, Medici...... The fact that so many forces are entangled on the same island is by no means explained by a simple coincidence! And the powerful existences that appeared one after another also made things more and more confusing. What happened on Bansey Island was as if someone was trying to muddy the waters.

And now, Mr. Fool's family also appeared on Bansey Island, and suddenly revealed the information to them, all of which sent a signal:

Mr. 'Fool' had foreseen it! He hopes to spread the word about it through us!

Alger's pupils narrowed, and he lowered his gaze in horror.

Why does Mr. 'Fool' want to spread these things out?

No, it's not necessarily that you want to get everything out there, there should be only a part of it that needs to be publicized. As for other secret information, it may be a 'reward' for disseminating it.

"The real Black Emperor who has returned from the resurrection?"

Audrey muttered this word in her heart, and suddenly raised her head to look at the 'lover' opposite, isn't George III trying to become the real 'Black Emperor'? Even if his plan was ruined, George III at that time was already one step away from Sequence 0!

And the 'resurrected and returned true black emperor' of the Solomon Empire, does it mean that the other party has reached the level of sequence 0?

The Black Emperor is sequence 0, and the Blood Emperor is suspected of having held a god-becoming ceremony, and there is a high probability that he is also a true god. Does that mean that the Battle of the Four Emperors that broke out at the end of the Fourth Age was actually a battle of the true gods?

It's just that this war ended in the fall of the Four Emperors, and there was no real winner among them. And the empire they built has also fallen apart, and the descendants of the blood are close to being cut off......

"Half-crazy?"

Ember lingered on the term 'half-mad Blood Emperor' for a long time, as if he had come to his senses.

Crane silently observed the others' reactions, his gaze briefly resting on Ember before quickly moving away.

At the same time, Mr. Fool tapped the surface of the mottled table and smiled leisurely:

"That's all for this gathering."

As the words fell, figures disappeared into the palace, and the eternal silence returned to the gray mist.

"Coincidence, coincidence......

Klein pressed his right thumb and middle finger against each temple and rubbed it slightly harder.

From the beginning of his voyage, he had a faint sense that something was wrong.

First of all, I inexplicably forgot about the underground ruins, and then near the coast of Damir Island, I encountered a pirate group that should not have appeared here-

You must know that there is a royal navy patrol near Damir Island all year round, and even the Seven Martial Seas regard this place as a forbidden area, and they will not enter this sea area unless they have to. It's also an ordinary pirate group, why dare to appear here?

But it was precisely because of the abnormal behavior of this pirate group that caused the captain of the White Onyx, Irlan, to be suspicious and decided to report the matter to the Navy and the Church. However, the ship had no radio equipment and had to return to Damir Island or dock at the nearest island of Bansey, where the telegraph office could be used to transmit messages to the navy.

The White Onyx changed its itinerary and arrived at Tiana Island after three days from Damir Island, arriving at Bansey Island the next evening, followed by a series of tense and exciting accidents.

On the surface, everything seems plausible.

But Klein, who has the sequelae of '0-08', already has some PTSD about 'coincidences', so he can clearly realize that there are a lot of 'coincidences' in this series of events that are happening now!

A group of pirates with a bounty of only 900 pounds for the captain of the ship appeared in the waters near Damir Island by 'coincidence', and coincidentally because Daniz, the pirate with a bounty of '3,000' pounds, was forced to abandon the raid.

And all this 'coincidence' prompted the White Onyx to go to Bansey, and encountered a series of accidents on Bansey Island.

And it was on Bansey Island that Klein also learned from Daniz that Bansey's ancient name was Bincy, and he thought of Medici from Bincy, and then associated with the underground ruins. And as a result, he was alert to the realization that his memories had been 'tampered with' - someone had changed his memory, making him subconsciously blur the existence of the underground ruins.

But what if Daniz's behavior was also a 'coincidence'?

He "coincidentally" wanted to show off his knowledge in front of Gelman Sparrow, and "coincidentally" when telling the legend of Bansey Island, he accidentally said that the ancient name of Bansey was "Binsey", and as a result, Klein also "coincidentally" realized that his memory had been "tampered with"!

If all this is a 'coincidence', then can he realize that this series of 'coincidences' is also based on 'coincidence'? Does this mean that he is still in the 'story' that the man behind the scenes has carefully concocted?

Even if he realized all this, and immediately passed the information to Ember, was it part of the 'coincidence'?

That's why Ember didn't get anything when he went to the underground ruins, because the other party had already achieved his goal, and even letting Ember go to the underground ruins was the other party's purpose itself, so he needed to borrow his hand to complete all this.

But how is this possible? He was able to do all of this entirely by virtue of the particularity above the gray mist!

And Klein has already tried, even true gods are difficult to invade this space-

This is Klein's conclusion based on his personal experience of being invaded by two Sequence 0 True Gods, the Eternal Sun and the Goddess of the Night.

No matter how strong the person who made up all this 'story' is, it is impossible to weave the gray fog into the story!

It's Klein's self-confidence, but also his arrogance!

And it is precisely because of this arrogance that Klein mistakenly thinks that he can realize that the 'coincidence' is the work of the gray mist. But the reason why he went into the gray fog was because he had realized that something was wrong when he heard the word 'Bincy'!

Crane's 'arrogance' caused him to ignore this detail, and without even thinking about it, he was ready to report it to Ember.

Looking back, Klein has realized the crux of this, so he stays here to sort out his thoughts.

"My communication with Ember is based on the Gray Mist, but it is impossible for the other party to influence the Gray Mist, otherwise my actions above the Gray Mist will definitely be strictly 'manipulated'."

"But the other party can definitely guess that there is some kind of quick communication between me and Ember, which is not an uncommon ability. After all, it's not just Mr. Azik who has messengers, even Miss Dalie, who only had Sequence 6 at the beginning, can summon messengers. We don't necessarily have to communicate with each other through the gray fog, and we can use messengers. ”

After sorting out all this, Klein finally let out a long breath.

Even if his experience at sea was really manipulated, it didn't dampen his determination to find a mermaid. He doesn't have the kind of secondary two ambition of 'I can't cover my eyes again this day', but he can't tolerate his life being manipulated at will!

If the experiences along the way are all 'coincidences', then the person who created them is undoubtedly better than 'Ince Zangwill', and the ability to make up stories is also better, and it is difficult for people to detect the disobedience.

Klein didn't know how far he had to grow to avoid being manipulated by the other party, but he was definitely as strong as possible.

And finding a mermaid and being promoted to a secret puppet master is the first step for him to become stronger!

"Along the way, I may encounter more 'coincidences' and 'accidents', and I may not be able to find the mermaid successfully. But not necessarily, after all, in the eyes of that 'mastermind behind the scenes', I should be just a dispensable pawn, after all, he has always targeted embers. ”

"If I am the first layer to be kept in the dark, then I am the one who hears 'Bincy' and realizes the 'coincidence' on the second level. And now, realizing that all this could be a coincidence, I should be on the third layer, and I should have jumped out of the story line woven by the other party a little. ”

"What's more, it's still above the gray fog here, and the decisions I make are based on my own ideas, and have nothing to do with 'coincidence'."

"Now that his goal has been achieved, it is unlikely that he will continue to weave 'coincidences' for me, and his attention should be focused on the embers......

Crane rubbed his temples, and he had already revealed what he knew, hoping that it would help Ember. It should be possible, after all, since the 'mastermind behind the scenes' chose to use the underground ruins as part of the plan, this shows that the other party is definitely inseparable from the existence of the underground ruins, at least with the 'Blood Emperor' and the three Sequence 1 angels who were 'sacrificed'!

If so, then there is hope that some clues can be found in the clues related to the 'mastermind behind the scenes'. Although Klein still didn't know what the other party's purpose was, at least he had done what he had to do.

At this moment, Crane's ears suddenly heard a repeat of illusory supplications......

——

Bang dang! Bang dang! Bang dang!

Smoke-filled steam trains ran on the railroad tracks toward the west of the continent.

In the luxurious box of a carriage, the girl lying on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

She almost subconsciously looked at the sofa in the room, and the embers who were lying there slowly stood up and walked to the window, staring closely at the scenery outside the window.

Audrey sorted out her language and whispered:

"Ember, can you understand the meaning of Mr. World's words?"

Ember withdrew his gaze from the trees speeding by outside the window, and said softly:

"He's reminding me."

"Reminder?"

Audrey blinked, and when she heard the words 'world', all she could think about was 'god wars' and stuff. The reason for the inquiry was also to determine if Ember also believed that both the Black Emperor and the 'Blood Emperor' had been promoted to Sequence 0 True Gods, after all, Ember who explored the underground ruins should be able to uncover more information.

But now it seems that she is a little out of the embers' channel.

What is the phrase 'world' trying to remind?

"I didn't hear anything."

Audrey silently lowered her head and whispered in her heart.

She knew she must have missed some crucial information that prevented her from connecting it all together.

It's just that why can't Mr. 'World' say it a little more clearly?

Even if they can't say it clearly because they have concerns, they can wait for the others to leave before asking Mr. 'Fool' to communicate alone! It can't be because he only knows so much information, right?

As soon as this thought popped into Audrey's mind, her mind froze and she couldn't believe it.

"It can't be like that, right? But isn't Mr. 'World' a dependant of Mr. 'Fool'? ”
