Chapter 190: Investigate, and you'll have the answer
"Friday? Okay, I'll be on time. β
Inside the library, Roy has a more formal invitation.
It was an invitation to the Friday ball, with Earl Hall's name written on it, as well as Earl Hall's personal seal.
This kind of seal is difficult to reproduce, and basically represents the identity of the person.
"Mr. Egger, will the situation you talked about yesterday really happen?"
"Does it matter?"
"Of course."
"If there is a war, many countries will be implicated, which could lead to a large-scale disaster. β
Under the war, there will be terrible tragedies.
Roy didn't answer.
Audrey was very disappointed, but still said goodbye politely.
β¦β¦
Before three o'clock in the afternoon, Roy rested in a quiet roomβ
He told Jennifer in advance that he was going to take an hour off and would not take any orders.
Jennifer agreed.
As the front desk, she still has a certain guiding role.
At three o'clock, a crimson glow enveloped Roy.
β¦β¦
"Roy is still holding on to this appearance, what the hell does he want to do?"
Klein was curious.
It seems that Roy has his own plan, and this plan may have something to do with Mother Earth.
He pondered for a moment, then dismissed the distractions.
It's time to pull people!
The spirit extended, and one by one the figures entered the gray mist.
Klein was much stronger now than before, and he had already digested a large part of the potion.
Of course.
The price is-
Recently, Klein has gained a lot of fame in places such as the East End, Bridge District, and Docklands, and the name "Grand Theft" has gradually spread.
That's the prestige he left behind with Sherman to punish the gangsters who smuggle people.
Occasionally, Crane would use tarot cards as weapons, but he did not yet have the same unified name as the original "Rogue Black Emperor".
Klein didn't know it was any different.
He's still very worriedβ
Earlier, in the sewers, Leonard had clearly seen his spiritual figure, and he might have seen something.
Leonard has his own secrets, and he is by no means an ordinary person.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
Crane came back to his senses.
He nodded slightly, but there was no verbal response.
Since having a doppelganger, Klein has rarely communicated at tarot meetings, including responses.
The members of the Tarot Society arrived quickly.
Roy looked around and felt that there was not much difference -
The only difference may be that Furth is no longer at the Tarot meeting, and probably won't be in the future.
After all, she is now a "classmate" with Mr. Fool, and there is a high probability that Klein will not pull her into the Tarot Society.
Well......
If Klein had known in advance that he was a hermit, or a "2", he would probably not have bothered with him.
The corners of Roy's mouth lifted slightly, and he also responded when he said hello to "justice".
"Good morning, Miss Justice."
After some greetings, everyone sat down.
"The Hanged Man" Alger was the first to say, "Mr. Fool, I have collected two pages of my diary. β
"I've also collected a page."
Audrey said.
After that, Hugh also took out a page of his diary.
Roy was on the side, still not saying much-
He really didn't collect a diary.
It was collected by the hermit and had nothing to do with him.
Klein took four pages of the diary, read it carefully, and read them carefully one by one, until the fourth, which was the one of "justice."
He froze abruptly.
"February 23rd, if it is still in the previous era, counting the years and months, today is likely to be the time of the New Year."
"I'm homesick."
Great......
Klein sighed from the bottom of his heart.
He was homesick too.
But.
I can't go back!
Crane was silent for a few seconds, then continued, andβ
His eyes froze.
"On February 24, I looked like something was wrong."
οΌοΌ
Something is wrong with the Emperor?
Or is it ......
This page of the diary is not from the Emperor, but from the person who had previously disguised the Emperor's diary.
Did he perceive his own anomaly?
No.
The Emperor also seems to be in a crazy and abnormal state in his later years.
Crane frowned and looked down quickly, finally finding a clue in one of them.
"It's still so cold here on March 1st, damn it! The nobles of Beckland were not gentlemen at all, they did not respect the opinions of the ladies at all, and their wives were all of their own free will! β
He is not the Great.
Klein was determined that the owner of the diary was another "traverser" who was also tainted with some kind of madness to the point of becoming abnormal.
Usually you may not be aware of it, but it will only be stimulated by a special time and place.
Fursac ......
Who could it be?
Grimm who hasn't been mentioned since the Sea of Mist?
What the hell happened to him?
Crane was full of thoughts, summed up the previous diary, and then sighed, and did not continue to dwell on it.
He perceivedβ
I have too few missing diaries to piece together the full truth.
The hermit is also collecting diaries.
If you can get all the diaries from the hermit and communicate with each other, you may be able to piece together a truth.
It's a pity.
The hermit does not understand "Chinese", and even if he gives the diary to the other party, he will not get anything.
Of course.
It could also be that the hermit was playing dumb, he actually knew, but he didn't mention it......
"You can get started."
There's no point in dwelling on these.
Crane abandons his thoughts, extends spiritually, and controls his puppet clone wholeheartedly.
As soon as the Fool finished reading, Alger said, "Mr. 'Hermit', did your elder respond?" β
Roy shook his head and said, "That Wind's Guardian's extraordinary characteristics can't be retrieved for the time being, if you're in a hurry, I know the names of the two main materials from the Hidden Sage." β
"Really?"
Alger's tone was a little higher, "I can pay!" β
"Yes, if that extraordinary feature is taken out, the part that can be used as part of the price of the material."
Roy laughed.
Azik did respond to him, saying that he couldn't take it out for the time being.
It's not that there is a problem with Azik, it's that Dunn is not in a good state to break at this time, and he finally managed to maintain his balance......
Once interfered, it may cause his situation to change.
"Yes. If I get the material myself, I'll tell you too. β
Alger breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he hasn't fully digested the navigator yet, it's basically the same, and it's really sad if there is no follow-up whereabouts.
Although it is only the whereabouts of the main material, it is also worth retrieving.
Roy imagined and embodied the name of the main ingredient of the formula.
"Main materials: six crystalline feathers of the Blue Shadow Falcon, and a pair of eyeballs of the Dragon's Eye Sea Eagle."
After handing it over, there was a hint of joy in Alger's eyes.
He knew the whereabouts of the main material of one of them!
"If you know the whereabouts of the main material, you can use the rest of its materials to deduct gold pounds."
Roy reminded, "As a wizard, I'm interested in all things material. β
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Alger nodded.
For him, it was a matter of cleaning up the corpse more, and the result was a win-win situation for both parties.
Why not?
Of course.
If he receives the recipe for the auxiliary materials later, he will lose a lot.
It can't be helped.
Alger sighed inwardly.
Then, Audrey looked around and saw that no one had spoken, so she spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think there is a possibility of war between Lenburg and Fenerport?"
"Why do you ask?"
Alger looked at Audrey in surprise.
This tone......
It sounds like Miss Justice knows something.
Klein was also surprised.
Is there a big feud between Lemburg and Fenerport?
He didn't pay attention to this information.
"There is a believer in the Church of Knowledge who said that there may be a war between Lemburg and Fenerport, and Rune needs to plan in advance."
Audrey didn't hide it.
Everyone fell silent.
Hugh was reminded of some role to make her presence visible, but alas, she didn't understand it.
In the end, it was Alger who answered.
"There is indeed some enmity between Lenburg and Fenerport, when Lemburg split from Fenerport, the Church of Knowledge and the Church of the Earth formed a feud because of this, and it has not been resolved yet."
"There are rumors that sooner or later they will have a big war."
Alger then talks about some of the old things.
The Church of Knowledge played a not-so-good role in this, making the Earth Church feel betrayed.
But.
None of you are from the Church of Knowledge, and there are no mood swings.
"Thank you for your answer, Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. 'Hermit', do you know any more secret information or conjectures about it?"
Audrey finally couldn't help but look at the person she really wanted to ask.
"I'm not sure, can you elaborate on that?"
Roy replied.
Audrey nodded, and said all of Egger's conjectures.
Everyone fell into deep thought.
Klein couldn't help but glance at Roy.
Recently he went to investigate.
Roy now goes by the pseudonym "Egger White", a scholar from Lenburg.
If she is not mistaken, the believer of the Knowledge Church in Audrey's mouth is likely to be Roy.
In addition, he saw Isenger enter the library.
The two of them may also know each other.
Subsequently, he couldn't help but wonder.
Why did Roy do this?
He certainly doesn't have a half-dime relationship with the Church of Knowledge, but has a deep relationship with the Church of the Earth.
If there is indeed a war, then the Earth Church will suffer in the future, right?
How would he reply?
Klein was curious.
In the end, it was Derick who spoke first: "I think we must control the food ourselves, and no one knows the pain of food shortage better than we do." β
He paused for a few seconds, gathering his emotions.
"None of you have ever experienced extreme hunger, have you? Hunger breeds terrible madness! β
Audrey opened her mouth slightly, and finally fell silent.
She really didn't experience it.
"The Hanged Man" Alger sighed, "I agree, at sea, what we fear most is not sea beasts and pirates, but the destruction of food and fresh water. β
Audrey listened, faintly grasping something, but she felt like she was seeing flowers in the fog.
"I don't think you're trying to ask if war is possible, but what your class should do?"
Roy Road.
Audrey was stunned, then nodded sheepishly: "Yes." β
"There is no doubt that growing more and cheaper food is good for you and for the Rune."
Roy said, "The factory can't accommodate all the peasants, and it's terrible to let the factory expand unlimitedly, as Mr. Fool said......
"The factory is also a hotbed of evil gods."
He bowed his head and bowed his head in respect.
Klein knew he had to say something.
But.
What do you say?
His mind was racing with thoughts.
After a few seconds, Klein had a way to answer.
The fool chuckled.
"Someone is driving the tide of the times."
Audrey didn't expect the fool to speak, and she couldn't help but be a little shocked at this time, and then said in surprise: "You mean, the former Ziringus, the current apostle of desire......"
"Huh."
The fool didn't answer, just chuckled and left it to their own discussion.
Alger took a deep breath and said, "It's amazing that they were hired to assassinate Duke Negan for one purpose......"
"Grain Act."
Roy continued with Alger's words.
Audrey nodded heavily.
She understood, too.
Duke Negan, who represents the Conservative Party, has previously opposed the repeal of the Grain Act, and now Duke Negan is dead......
The repeal of the Grain Act was a foregone conclusion.
"It occurred to me just now that there is actually another group that has received invisible benefits after the Grain Act."
Roy laughed, "Military." β
"The military?"
Hugh couldn't sit still.
She felt ......
It's time to behave yourself.
Otherwise, like a bystander, he is purely rubbing, and he really can't hold his face.
She thought for a moment.
"Do you mean conscription?"
"Well, if you can survive, I don't think many people are willing to fight hard, and the army needs war to grow."
Roy said this......
Audrey said bitterly: "In the end, I will return to war." β
"Yes."
"I have one more question, is it possible for the nobles to stay out of the matter in case of the worst outcome?"
Audrey sighed, "I hate to say that, but sometimes, some nobles really have no more brains than curly-haired baboons, if not more stupid. β
"I know an old fisherman on the river, and he said that any movement in the river will affect the fishermen."
Roy laughed, "Whether you nobles think you are fish or fishermen, who can stay out of the storm when it comes?" β
Audrey actually had the answer for a long time.
The words of the "hermit" only shattered the last trace of illusion in her heart.
If there is a day......
There was absolutely no way for the aristocracy to stay out of the matter.
It's just a matter of time.
However.
The aristocracy was mostly short-sighted.
Audrey was silent.
"Why don't you go and have a look?"
At this moment, the world that has not spoken all this time speaks.
He smiled lowly: "Go and see, experience, maybe you will naturally have an answer in your heart." β
"I agree."
Roy's jaw.
Audrey got up solemnly: "Thank you for your advice, I'll go and see." β
"Maybe the answer you get will be contrary to your own identity, Miss Justice, you have to be fully mentally prepared."
Roy reminded.
Audrey nodded slightly.
Hugh exhaled.
No doubt.
Audrey is a kind nobleman, but the problems of commoners are not something she can solve alone.
But......
She was happy to help.
