Russell Gustaf's secret diary?

Russell the Great?

Sure enough, only this kind of thing deserves the attention of a strong person of the level of Mr. "Fool...... Audrey was stunned for a moment, but then realized that she was not surprised at all.

It is said that Russell the Great once saw the "Desecration Slate", and it is said that the secret solitaire he made contained twenty-two divine paths, which is something that every high-level powerhouse will definitely care about!

"Diary? is that a diary?" Alger frowned slightly, keenly aware of a detail.

Mr. "Fool" affirmatively calls the legacy of Russell Gustav a diary!

How did he know?

How did he confirm that?

Could it be that he has mastered the interpretation of the "Russell Secret Text"?

Faced with the question of the "upside-down hangman", Crane, who had achieved the expected effect, leaned back in the chair, clasped his hands together, and replied in a relaxed tone:

"Let's think of it as a diary for a moment. ”

He neither denied nor affirmed it.

"It is said that Russell the Great's, well, diary, was written in secret words or symbols of his own invention?" Audrey had heard the other nobles mention it, but had never really seen it, and was curious for a moment, and asked aloud.

"Yes. "Some people think it's a unique set of occult symbols, some believe it's a hieroglyphic script, but to this day, no one has found the right way to interpret it, at least to the best of my knowledge." ”

Speaking of which, he looked sideways at Klein, as if seeking some kind of affirmation, but also as if he was suspicious of something.

It is a script that has evolved for several generations, and it has long ceased to be the original pictogram, according to your thinking, how can it be interpreted...... Crane was calm and sneered to himself.

As for the statement that it was treated as a occult symbol, he instantly thought of some absurd and funny scenes:

An evil mage in a black hooded robe rolled up his cuffs to reveal a symbol of mystical power supposedly from Russell the Great tattooed on his arm, which were two large, cyan simplified characters:

"Tease!"

The corners of Klein's mouth slowly turned up, and his mood became more and more good.

After listening to the description of the "hanging man", Audrey said in embarrassment:

"Symbols or words that we can't read...... So how are we going to relay this to you here, Mr. Fool, or rather, send it somewhere?"

This is an important question...... I don't have a channel to receive things secretly...... Klein didn't rush to answer, and on the crossed hands, the thumbs parted and touched, touched and separated.

Soon, he found an idea:

Since I can create a temple and tables and chairs here according to my own ideas, can I let others directly print out what is presented in their minds?

Get your feet wet......

At this time, Audrey and Alger saw Mr. "Fool", who was covered in a thick gray mist, slowly sit up straight and said:

"Miss 'Justice', let's try, you imagine a text and give it the emotion to write it urgently, well, you pick up the pen next to you and write on the paper. ”

Before Klein could finish speaking, Audrey saw a yellow-brown parchment and a dark red pen in front of her.

Puzzled and curious, she picked up the pen and, as instructed, imagined in her mind a poem that Russell the Great had written:

"If winter comes, will spring be far away?" (Note 1)

She examined the text, picked up the pen, and gave her an idea of how to present them all.

Klein felt this "emotion" and used the "pen" as a medium to guide him.

As soon as Audrey dropped her pen, she saw an extra line of words on the parchment:

"If winter comes, will spring be far away?"

"Goddess, this is amazing!" Audrey exclaimed in surprise, full of emotion.

Then, she looked at Klein with some fear:

"Mr. Fool, can you read my mind?"

"No, I'm just a facilitator who simplifies the process of writing words out and turns them into rubbing, and if you don't want to 'express' yourself, there will be no trace of it. Crane soothed in a deep voice.

"That's right...... Then we just need to remember what those symbols or secret texts look like, and we can present them directly according to our wishes?" Audrey asked with a sigh of relief.

"Yes. Klein replied briefly.

"That's a really good way, Miss 'Justice', don't doubt your memory, you will get a great improvement in this regard when you become a 'spectator'. Alger watched the attempt, and felt that the "Fool" was more mysterious and powerful than he had imagined.

As for his memory, he believes that with the next promotion, he can get enough growth.

In this regard, Audrey nodded happily and said:

"That's a delightful hint, Mr. Hanged Man, what else do you teach me about the 'audience'?"

Speaking of which, she turned her head to look at the head:

"Mr. Fool, I will try to complete your mission and collect as many secret diaries as I can from Russell the Great. ”

"As I said, I'm a person who likes to exchange for equal value, and the advance payment just now is only equivalent to two pages of diaries per person, and if there is any excess, I will give it extra. Klein said calmly in a tone that did not take advantage of children.

As for where the extra pay will come from, of course, the new Russell the Great secret diary, which will form a good cycle.

"You are such a generous gentleman. Alger was silent for a few seconds, touching his chest with his hand and bowing slightly.

After saluting, he turned to "righteousness" and said:

"Again, the audience is always just the audience. ”

"I know that a lot of people like to pretend that they are the main character or some other character, and thus get so emotionally invested that they cry with the play, laugh with the play, get angry with the play, and grieve with the play, but that's not what you, the 'audience', should do. ”

"In the face of the 'drama' in the secular society, in the face of the characters who consciously or unconsciously play a certain role, you must maintain an absolutely bystander attitude, only in this way can you calmly and objectively examine them, discover their habitual movements, detect their lying habits, smell their nervousness, and grasp their true thoughts from all kinds of subtle clues. ”

"Believe me, everyone will naturally secrete different 'things' and exude different smells due to different emotions, but only the real 'audience' can smell it. ”

"Once you are emotionally engaged, your observations will be affected and your perception of other people's emotions will be deviant. ”

Audrey listened attentively, and her eyes brightened:

"Sounds very, very, funny!"

Klein listened to the first in his heart:

The "audience" potion requirement seems to be summed up as "being an absolutely neutral spectator".

This is equivalent to playing a ......

Play?

Could it be that when Russell the Great said "play", he meant that?

So I need to play the role of "soothsayer" in order to digest the potion little by little?

Just as Klein was deep in thought, Alger finished explaining what he knew about the "audience" requirements, and muttered:

"Doesn't seem to be the same?"

"Maybe we can just have a casual conversation and talk about what's going on around us. Maybe the news that is very common to yourself will be a very important clue to others. ”

"Yes. Crane came back to his senses and bowed slightly.

He was already planning to try his hand at playing a "soothsayer", which didn't seem to have any bad effects anyway.

"So you start with Mr. Hanged Man?" Audrey agreed with interest.

Alger thought for a moment and said:

"The great pirate, who calls himself 'Admiral Ludville', has set out again on his voyage to explore the eastern end of the Sunia Sea. ”

"Hmm, owner of the Black Tulip?" Audrey asked rhetorically, pondering.

"Yes. Alger replied with a bow.

I don't even know who it is...... Klein listened silently, thinking about what news he should say, the news that would not expose himself and get intelligence feedback.

Soon, he made a decision, maintaining the profound image of the "fool", rubbing his fingers against the edge of the bronze long table and saying:

"As far as I know, the Esoteric Order has lost a copy of the notes of the House of Antigonus. ”

This news is not only known to the night watchmen in Tingen, but also to the Esoteric Order, as well as to the extraordinary people with whom they are close.

"Antigonus's notes?" Alger repeated, chuckling and shaking his head, "I'm curious how the Church of the Night Goddess reacted when it learned about this. ”

Why only the Church of the Night Goddess?Crane was keenly aware of the problem, but he couldn't open his mouth.

That would spoil the mysterious and profound image of the "fool".

At this time, Audrey spoke in confusion:

"Why are you curious about this?

Alger smiled and said:

"The House of Antigonus was destroyed by the Church of the Goddess of the Night. ”

"Whether it's the end of the Quaternary Age, or the beginning of the current era, I don't know. ”

This...... Klein's eyes shrank, and a chill suddenly appeared in his body:

"In this way, the night watchman values that Antigonus family notebook far more than I thought!"

"The reason why they suggested that I become extraordinary, 'some credit' and 'danger prevention' should be only a small part of the reasons, they want me to improve my inspiration, which will help to find notes.

"The captain didn't hide this, he mentioned it, but I didn't care about it at the time......"

After listening to the explanation of the "hanged man", Audrey spoke with great interest:

"I didn't expect this kind of thing......"

"Well, it's my turn, and I think I'm going to say something. ”

She tilted her head slightly, put her hand on her forehead, and said with a chuckle:

"Yesterday, my etiquette teacher was teaching me how to faint, how to faint gracefully and politely, which is a practical technique for escaping some embarrassing situations and nasty guys in social situations...... Oh, I was just organizing the language, and what I really want to say is that since the defeat in the war on the east coast of Byron, the king, the prime minister, and all the gentlemen, have felt a great deal of pressure and a desperate desire to change. ”
