Chapter 254: Winter "Tarot Meeting"
Monday, November 12th.
The weak winter sun rarely had a chance to penetrate the thick gray fog over Beckland, and the cold, gray feeling invaded the bustling metropolis.
At this time, the fireplace becomes a necessity of life.
Even poor families, for the health of the elderly and children, as long as they can afford it, even if there is no fireplace, they need to use coal stoves to ensure a certain amount of heating.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in front of the warm fireplace, Valeera wore comfortable home clothes, curled up on the sofa, and ushered in another "Tarot Club".
She thought it was just a routine gathering with no special content, but after Audrey the "Justice" took the lead in greeting Mr. "Fool", Mr. "Tower" spoke first in the surprised eyes of the others.
He changed his usual posture of being absent in the meeting, bowed his head slightly, and said to the head of the head in a rather reverent tone:
"Mr. Fool, I've collected 26 pages of Russell's diary.
"I hope they are enough to represent my gratitude and return for your rescue and shelter to me.
"Praise Mr. Fool!"
Sure enough, he must have collected these diaries a long time ago, but he never submitted them...... At this time, Crane naturally remembered the stereotype of a certain characteristic group, and quietly complained in his heart:
"So, even in another world, does the common problem of intellectuals vacillating still exist?"
Of course, relying on the ability of the "Joker", Crane concealed his thoughts well, and nodded and smiled on the surface:
"That's enough, that's the principle of equivalent exchange."
He tapped on the table, and in front of Mr. Tower, he presented parchment and a pen so that he could present and submit the contents of his diary.
Page after page, in the short time of manifestation, the wandering gazes of the rest of the party members were undisguised with inquisitive and curious colors.
Page 26 of Russell's Diary...... Just looking at the number of diaries can also show the seriousness of the events he encountered.
Valeera certainly had a similar idea.
However, unlike the other people's performance, in order to maintain the "moderation" character, she still maintains a posture of holding her cheek with one hand, and the movement of her gaze is also very restrained.
Will Crane's sudden harvest of so many "extra" Rosell's diaries have an impact on the future "plot"?
Suddenly thinking of this, Valera felt a little hurt internally.
It took a lot of effort for her to finally correct the deviation between reality and the "plot" to a large extent...... As a result, Mr. "Tower", who had been at peace all along, suddenly made such a big change......
Alas, let's leave it at that, anyway, this is something I can't interfere with, so I can only improvise in the future.
Valeera thought for a moment, and began to comfort herself againβ
Anyway, she doesn't blindly want to maintain the "plot".
She maintains the "plot" for the advantage of "predicting the future" and striving for more favorable conditions for her development; However, if necessary, she will also use her advantage of "predicting the future" to change the "plot......
This is also a manifestation of strength.
"Mr. Fool, the limit of my current memory is 8 pages, allow me to divide it among you several times."
Valeera's divergent thoughts were drawn back to the meeting by these words, and as soon as she looked around, she saw a small pile of diaries disappear from the palm of Mr. Tower's held up hand and flash into the hand of the Fool.
"No problem."
Crane, shrouded in a thick gray mist, bowed his head slightly, and looked at the diary in his hand:
"On February 23, 1143, it's been more than a week since I crossed into this world, and I have to write something, pour out something, or I feel like I'm going crazy......
β¦β¦
"February 25 is such a boring world, there are no newspapers, and there are very few of them! I think it's necessary for me to do some cultural poverty alleviation, but the premise of this is that I have to get a deal
Money, you have to recall the improved papermaking and printing......
β¦β¦
"March 6th, Mom, I'm almost constipated from eating the food here......
β¦β¦
"On March 22, it's time to choose a faith, with the Church of the Eternal Sun on one side and the Artisan Church on the other......
β¦β¦
"On the 23rd of May, I became a 'general knowledge', and with the power of potions, I was able to recall all the knowledge I had learned, physics, chemistry, etc., etc., etc.......
β¦β¦
"On the 14th of July, I met again the mysterious Mr. Zarathu, who turned out to be the head of the Ancient Order of Esoteric Order......
β¦β¦
"On February 17, 1144, I was promoted to become an archaeologist.
"On February 21, I joined a circle of archaeology enthusiasts, met Edwards and Green and other colleagues, and I felt that they were very easy to get along with, and should become my friends."
β¦β¦
"On March 15th, I was indeed the protagonist, and with just some archaeological clues and folklore rumors, I found a ghost ship left behind by the Solomonic Empire, the ancient Black Throne, near the Oradek Islands at the edge of the Misty Sea......
β¦β¦
Crane finished flipping through the 8-page diary in his hand, and was in a good and bad mood-
A considerable part of Mr. Tower's diary was read by him before, and the few that he had not read were not revealed with any important information;
But one thing, the most crucial one, is that they are continuous!
From his diary, Crane had a general and complete understanding of the life and experience of Huang Russell Tao, a predecessor of the traverser, in the early days of the traversal for more than a year.
It can be seen that he did not have the habit of keeping a diary at first, and probably only wrote some rough when he "arose" due to certain triggers.
It seems that if it is still continuous content, there should not be any high-value information...... Crane sighed in his heart, let the diary disappear in his hand, and said in a casual tone:
"You can get started."
Valilla wanted to open her mouth at this time and make a few trading requests, but because of her quiet and reserved style that she had always shown at the "Tarot Club", she was one step slower than the "Justice" Audrey next to her.
"Mr. Tower, would you mind telling us about the danger you're in?" Audrey raised her right hand and shook it, smiling a little coyly and adding, "I'm sorry, I'm just curious."
Although she has participated in the "Tarot Meeting" many times, she still feels a little strange and alienated from this "Ta" gentleman...... If it were a few others, she wouldn't add an explanation for the second half of the sentence.
"Yes, no problem."
"Tower" Pierrot nodded, and seeing that the "Fool" did not object, after a little thought, he began to speak.
After experiencing this crisis, he changed his mind and decided to cherish his status as an "original member" and integrate into the "Tarot Club" with a more positive attitude.

P.S. The time of Russell's voyage, I think it should be in his sequence 8 "archaeologist" stage, so it is presumed that it was a year after the crossing, and a short diary was made up to connect it.
I limited the content of the diary submitted by "Tower" Pierrot to the early stage of Russell's travel, mainly to save trouble: first, I don't have to bother to make it up, and second, it also saves the possibility of giving Crane too much information and causing the butterfly effect;
In addition, there are reasonable considerations: the Church of the Eternal Sun has a high chance of getting the entire diary, and at the same time, when the first diary was written, Russell was still in a low order, and there would be no outrageous secret knowledge, so it was very appropriate to throw it out for the church members to decipher.
(I think this is some kind of supplement to the main text, and it is not appropriate to put it in the "what the author said" position.) οΌ
