Chapter 5 Free General Knowledge

"On June 3rd, after consulting with Edwards and the others, I gave up on the idea of reaching a tacit agreement with the Church of the Eternal Sun, which is likely to reveal my true intentions, and make the Saurons and the old nobles who supported them aware of it in advance and make targeted arrangements, which will become very difficult and dangerous. ”

"Unfortunately, Grimm died in the Mist, and he was the smartest of us. ”

"Mess up, mess up! Only when it's completely messed up can I get the chance to fish in troubled waters! Only when the Sauron family can't clean up the situation anymore, can the Church of the Eternal Sun pinch its nose and admit me!"

"I may have given some help to those who rebelled against the party, but how to hide it, how to make it invisible to others?"

"On the 4th of June, Zarathu of the Esoteric Order came to visit me very suddenly. ”

......

Klein was curious about the purpose of the tantric leader Zarathu's approach to Russell on the eve of the rebellion and coup, and found that the next two pages of notes had nothing to do with it.

This made him have to develop a feeling of chagrin that was difficult to contain.

Although these three diaries do not have too many detailed descriptions, they are just straightforward descriptions of the parties, but they still make Klein feel the turmoil of the famous incident in 1173, that is, more than 100 years ago.

The results are clearly recorded in the history textbooks, and Russell quelled the rebellion as a colonel, took advantage of the coup d'Γ©tat, changed the kingdom of Intis into a republic, and made himself consul.

In the next 19 years, he reformed the legal code, encouraged invention, escorted the industrial revolution, greatly increased the national strength, and fought in the north and south, including the protection of Lenburg, Marcy, Segal and other countries, and made the three northern continental powers of the Vorsack Empire, the Kingdom of Rune, and the Kingdom of Fenerport bow their heads one after another.

At the end of 1192, when he was about to complete 20 years as consul, Russell changed the republic into an empire and called himself Caesar.

Less than six years later, he fell to the White Maple Palace, ending one of the most legendary episodes of the Fifth Age's history to date.

Klein recalled the materials he had read, and felt more and more that Russell's death was definitely not as simple as it seemed, just as there must be a wrestling of extraordinary people behind this famous incident, and there was a rebalancing of extraordinary forces, which would not be equivalent to the description of the textbook.

"Green, one of the so-called 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse', died in the Misty Sea...... In a previous diary, Russell recorded that something was wrong with this 'knight', which seemed to have something to do with the island they found that was inhabited by many otherworldly creatures...... It's not just an adventure, it's dangerous......" Crane thought of a previous record and flipped to the fifth page of his diary with some emotion.

The contents of this page are of little value, namely Russell's comments after drinking the 1128 Ormill red wine, the disillusionment of seeing the object of his youthful admiration and the discovery of the lady's disfigured and aging appearance, and the depraved summary of a period of indulging in playing cards.

Page 6 is almost the same as everyday, but the last one makes Klein's eyes light up:

"On April 8th, I have to send someone to investigate the affairs of the Esoteric Order, to get more information, not to repeat the previous passivity, not to be led by the nose by Zarathu. ”

So, did you find anything, Comrade Russell? Klein could not find the follow-up, so he could only forcibly calm down and wait for the other six pages that the "Hanged Man" would submit at the next meeting.

He knew that most of the investigation materials from more than a hundred years ago could not help him find clues related to the Esoteric Order, after all, after such a long time, except for the more special ones, many high-level powerhouses were probably already old and dead, not to mention the middle and low-level members, but Klein believed that this would help him gain inspiration and grasp the identity and activity rules that the Esoteric Society was accustomed to using.

Putting down the six-page diary, Klein tapped the edge of the bronze table with his right index finger, his gaze slowly moving from Miss Justice to the Hanged Man to the Sun.

By the way, in the diary just now, Russell the Great has a description: "The creator of all, the all-knowing and all-powerful God", which is very close to the habit of Silver City, where did he hear about it? The oldest and most secretive organization that secretly manipulates the situation in the world? This organization was born before the creation of the "Godforsaken Land"?

Well...... Suddenly, Klein had a new idea, so he smiled in a low and calm manner:

"Russell mentions in his diary some of the history that has been obscured, of some simple common sense, the latter of which reminds me that I don't seem to have told you. ”

Audrey was suddenly in a trance, and immediately turned her body half-way, and looked at the top of the ancient long table in surprise.

Mr. "The Fool" took the initiative to mention the contents of Russell's diary, and what would it say? She was so excited and excited that she completely forgot that she was a "spectator".

Compared with her, "The Hanged Man" Alger is much more stable, but he unconsciously straightens his back and still betrays him ruthlessly.

Only "Sun" Deric, although he has always believed that the items that Mr. Fool is interested in must contain many mysteries, he does not know Russell the Great, and does not know what this name represents in the Northern Continent, so he is just curious, and does not behave too abnormally.

"Mr. 'Fool', what common sense did Russell the Great mention? I can pay you in exchange for this news. Audrey couldn't help but ask.

However, I asked to speak alone!, she silently added in her mind.

Klein chuckled and said:

"No, it's all simple common sense. ”

"Seeing this part of the diary, as the convener of the Tarot Society, I think it is inevitable that you will all know, of course, I know very well that some of you have already mastered it. ”

He was mainly referring to the "sun", and the Silver City was two or three thousand years old, and it was impossible not to discover the extraordinary character of the law of immortality.

Moreover, they are in a relatively extreme environment, even if there is no shortage of monsters in the darkness in the surrounding area, but sometimes, they may not be able to get the corresponding materials they want, for the sake of inheritance, for the continuation of the entire city, it is not particularly unacceptable to make potions with the extraordinary properties condensed by the remains of their predecessors.

For them, it may also be a ritual of divine glory.

Of course, from the previous answers, Klein can see that the "hanging man" also knows something.

It's a pity that Miss Justice can't always be asked to pay gold pounds and transfer the money to my dependents...... My dependents also need to be forced...... It must not destroy the image of a strong man created by Mr. Azik...... Well, there is a chance to try again, after all, no matter how powerful the existence is, there will be subordinates who run errands at the bottom, just like the "sleepless" of the goddess of the night...... No one has ever suspected that the goddess of the night is not a true god because of the weakness of the night watchman at the bottom...... Crane sighed silently.

"Thank you so much!, Mr. Fool, you are so generous!" replied Audrey delightfully.

She repented for three seconds for the vulgarity she had just wanted to buy news with money.

Crane stopped tapping his fingers and described in a flat tone:

"The first common sense, the law of immortality of extraordinary properties, that extraordinary properties do not destroy, do not decrease, but are transferred from one thing to another. ”

I unconsciously used the tone of the captain...... The corners of Klein's mouth curled up subconsciously.

There will be no destruction, no reduction, just a transfer from one thing to another...... Audrey chewed on Mr. Fool's description, and felt that this simple sentence contained too much meaning.

Her emerald eyes were like jewels, and she saw that neither the "Hanged Man" nor the "Sun" were surprised or thinking, and she immediately understood that these two Tarot members had known this law for a long time.

Only I don't know...... She thought to herself, a little aggrieved, but soon began to praise Mr. Fool for his kindness.

At this point, Klein added:

"Therefore, after the death of the out-of-control extraordinary, it will leave behind an item with condensed extraordinary characteristics, it may be the main material of the potion, or it may be a magical item that needs to be sealed, and the same is true after the death of the normal extraordinary, but it will be equivalent to the corresponding potion without auxiliary materials, of course, it will also have certain extraordinary abilities, and it can be used as a half-finished magical item. ”

A few ordinary words instantly echoed in Audrey's mind, layered on top of each other, constantly climbing, and finally converged into a huge thunder.

Audrey thought of cannibalism, and thought of a question she had asked about the "Hanged Man" before, that is, if the source of the material was cut off, whether the sequence pathway would be interrupted.

Now, she knew the answer, but would rather she hadn't heard it and felt like she was having a nightmare!

How can it be so cruel? How can it be so dark? Audrey has seen some bad things involving extraordinary things before, but it all comes from personal obscenity and evil, such as Mr. A, such as Ziringus, which does not affect her yearning and love for the transcendent world in the mysterious realm.

This time, however, she discovers that the world itself is full of gray and black.

Wake up, Audrey, you can't be naΓ―ve any longer! Think out of control, the cruelty and darkness described by Mr. "Fool" is predictable...... Since you have chosen this path, you must go on bravely! Audrey explained herself a few words, and her mood eased slightly.

She saw that both the "Hanged Man" and the "Sun" were just some habitual movements, and she seemed to be very clear about what she had just said.

Hmph! Mr. "The Hanged Man" is so bad that he wanted to exchange this news with me! Hmm...... This news is indeed worth a good reward and is quite important, but it is only for us, and in the eyes of Mr. "Fool" it is just a simple piece of common sense...... Audrey suddenly wanted to laugh, and her mood began to improve, and she slowly threw aside all the extreme examples that had just come to mind.

Klein was not surprised by the reaction of the three members, and continued in a tone without waves:

"The second common sense is the law of conservation of extraordinary properties within a sequence of similarities. ”

The "upside-down hangman" ...... conservation of extraordinary characteristics changed his sitting posture slightly, feeling that he understood something, but he could not fully figure out what this law meant and what it contained.

"Justice" and "the sun" feel similar to him, and they are also unable to intuitively understand the true meaning of this law.

"Why are they in similar sequences?" asked Alger.

Klein replied with a smile:

"What do you have to pay to get answers?"

One of his ideas just now was that common sense is free and explanation is charged, which is not only in line with identity, but also does not waste information.

The free ones are the most expensive.
