Chapter 375: Tricking Russell's Diary
That night, Louise did not teach Sophia to learn Old Hermes.
The reason is also very simple, she is a little tired, and she also wants to leave some time and space for the maid lady to "heal".
In addition, and more crucially, Louise also clearly remembers that she dug a big hole in front of Bernadette, and the latter liked to make a surprise attack in the middle of the night, in case she saw something that she shouldn't see, it would be bad!
Unbeknownst to her, Her Royal Highness suddenly became polite, and did not appear in Louise's sleep, allowing the latter to enjoy a peaceful night.
When she awoke, Louise felt refreshed, as if all fatigue had been swept away, and the maid lady had returned to her former gentleness, as if everything had changed back to its original appearance overnight.
In the study on the third floor, Louise was holding a book in her hand, neither the mysterious "wordless book" nor an important book, she was just emptying herself while waiting for someone to arrive.
It didn't take long for Bernadette to appear in front of Louise unsurprisingly.
"Thank you." Louise put down the book in her hand and said with a smile.
Bernadette ignored it and said with a serious face:
"Thank you, if you can't give a satisfactory explanation, I'll make you regret it."
"Uh......" Louise was stunned for a moment, and she corrected, "I thank you for not coming to me last night." ”
Looking at Louise, who was serious as she spoke, Bernadette glanced at her angrily, and then sat down on her own, and at the same time a bamboo chair suddenly appeared in the open space at her feet.
She took a deep breath and said:
"About ...... Russell, tell me what you know, right? ”
Louise tried to show a friendly smile, straightened her back, and asked softly:
"What do you want to know?"
Bernadette looked at her deeply and replied:
"Follow what you said on the battlefield."
Louise put on a submissive and well-behaved appearance, nodded, and said:
"It is very likely that Russell the Great is still alive."
Inadvertently glancing at Bernadette's face and seeing that she looked as usual, Louise continued to add details in detail:
"Russell the Great switched from the 'Knowledgeable' path to the 'Voyeur' path, and was successfully promoted to the 'Emperor of Knowledge' in Sequence 1, but he did not attempt to become a god in this path...... There may be a reason for the interference of the 'hidden sage', and the specific course and cause of the incident have been buried in the dust of history. ”
"For some reason, Mr. Emperor chose to jump to the non-adjacent 'lawyer' path and try to be promoted to the 'Black Emperor' of Sequence 0. ”
Bernadette didn't speak, didn't even blink an eyelid, and Louise testified, so she had to continue without pause:
"The ceremony of promoting the 'Black Emperor' is not complicated for Russell, and he can even be said to be the most suitable to become the 'Black Emperor'...... Emperor, in the end, he 'almost' succeeded. ”
Speaking of this, Louise keenly noticed that Bernadette's expression fluctuated a little, and she continued to say cautiously:
"Jumping to extraordinary avenues that are not adjacent to each other, even if successful, the best outcome will be half crazy."
Bernadette said with a grim expression: "I know this, to the point." ”
"Okay, that's the point." Louise hurriedly waved her hand and said, "The process of promoting the 'Black Emperor' requires the construction of nine mausoleums, as long as one mausoleum still exists, then even if the 'Black Emperor' falls, he can return from the astral boundary, and the returning 'Black Emperor' will be a fully awake god." ”
"That's why I said Russell is still alive."
This is probably the reason why he chose to become the "Black Emperor", and eight of the nine mausoleums were destroyed by the "Steam Church...... A series of clues and information appeared in Bernadette's mind, and after a brief arrangement, she asked:
"Why are you sure that Russell is still alive?"
"That's what Mr. 'Fool' told me." Louise replied very calmly and surely, without any weakness in selling Crane.
Bernadette narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous look, and said faintly:
"Mr. 'Fool', are you her curler?"
Louise shook her head and denied:
"It's not a roller, but it can only be said that there is a certain connection."
Bernadette's tone became more and more erratic, she leaned back slightly, clasped her hands on her chest and said:
"So, the last time you said you didn't know the identity of the person who stole the 'blasphemy card', you were lying to me!"
Louise laughed, borrowed a phrase from Dean Russell, and retorted:
"You know, Mr. 'Fool' has such a high-ranking existence, and there must be more than a few scrollers and believers, so I didn't lie to you."
Bernadette was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said:
"That 'blasphemy card' should be in the hands of the 'fool' now, right?"
Louise didn't hide it, and said with a slight bow:
"Yes, Mr. 'Fool' is interested in collecting items related to Russell the Great."
Just as Bernadette looked pensive, Louise quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this was the way she had already thought of coping, and it seemed to be going well so far.
Revealing half and hiding half is always the best way to lie, and the reason why Louise chose to confess her connection to the "fool" is also to impress Bernadette...... You know, this princess has several entire Rosell's diaries in her hands, which is enough for Louise to make Crane bald...... Although, the current Mr. "Fool" is still very weak.
Sure enough, Bernadette followed the conversation along the topic:
"You also learned about your statement just now from the 'fool'?"
Louise continued to nod her head, admitting with a straight face:
"Yes."
Immediately afterward, she said pointedly:
"Moreover, Mr. 'Fool' can read the diaries left by Russell the Great."
Bernadette was not surprised, she had already guessed this, and after thinking for two seconds, she asked:
"Why is this 'Fool' so interested in Russell's affairs?"
Louise shook her head: "I don't know. ”
Bernadette didn't ask, but said:
"Where is Russell's last 'Black Emperor' mausoleum? Why didn't he return from the spirit realm, as you say? What happened to him in his later years changed his temperament greatly......"
When this series of questions was spoken, Louise looked embarrassed, and she shook her head bitterly, and replied:
"I'm sorry, but I don't know the answers to these questions."
"But ......," she said, "there should be something in the diary that Russell left behind, and that's probably why Mr. 'Fool' collected them." ”
