Chapter 114: Criteria for Membership
Is there no oil? Is it because for some reason it can't be found, or is there really none?
It has been more than 150 years since the assassination of Russell the Great, and there is still no trace of oil......
Klein's pupils contracted, and the hand holding the diary almost trembled.
Without oil, it will not only mean that the appearance of the internal combustion engine will become unknown, but also lead to the stagnation of the chemical industry, making it impossible to build a modern industry on earth in the true sense of the word!
In other words, the next development of the world was something that Klein could not have anticipated.
His original plan was that although he only knew a little bit about everything and couldn't do anything inventive and creative, he would be better than knowing a little bit of everything, and could foresee the direction of change and the trend of the times.
Klein felt that in this way, he would sooner or later have a lot of wealth, and when the time came, he would find white gloves as an agent on the surface, and then establish an international charity fund to help the poor on the surface and secretly fund the labor resistance of various countries, so as to play games with the upper echelons of society and improve the lives of the people at the bottom.
If he finds a way to return to Earth, he will divide his property up to Benson, one-third to Melissa, and one-third to his Foundation.
However, it is a pity that this beautiful vision of the future was half shattered in an instant just now.
"Fortunately, fortunately, there are electricity and magnetism in this world, and there are successful cases of telegraphy, and I will mainly invest in this direction in the future......" Klein fixed his mind, and his eyes moved down line by line:
"December 21st, don't think about oil, improving your sequence level is the king!"
"On the 22nd of December, the environment in the old town of Risher was unacceptably dirty, and if it weren't for my private visit, I might never have known that it would still be the same as I saw it when I was younger, and I would have gathered my ministers to draw up a 'plan for the improvement of sewers and public toilets in the capital', well, and to correct the wrong habits of the residents, let them boil hot water to drink, wash their hands frequently, wash their faces, do not litter, defecate in the open, use condoms as much as possible, haha, I thought of how to name this thing, patriotic sanitation campaign! ”
"So, the invention of the condom has to be on the agenda, and there are things like masks and paper cups, well, the original version, just give it a try, and thanks to the world, it also has rubber trees. ”
"On December 23rd, perhaps I should consider that suggestion and leave a way for myself outside the Church of the God of Artisans, for example, to join that ancient, secretive, and covert organization that is influencing the situation in the world?"
When Klein saw this, he suddenly found that there was no more below, and his mood was indescribable:
"O Emperor, what is the name of that ancient, secretive, and secretive organization that you are talking about?
"How can you stop here? Why don't you write two more sentences?"
"It's the same as reading a novel before, seeing the end, and discovering the author's eunuch......"
"Also, the patriotic health campaign, the emperor will also play ......"
The contents of this page of the diary should be located after he became the consul of the Republic of Intis, and perhaps called himself Julius Caesar. ”
"I had to go back and look through the books, double the foreign history textbooks, and see what year Intis's 'Capital Sewer and Public Toilet Improvement Plan' appeared. ”
After more than ten seconds of silence, Klein gathered his thoughts and let the diary in his hand disappear directly:
"You can communicate. ”
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted her state, became an "audience", and said with a light smile:
"I wonder if there's a sequence potion with the name 'Arbiter', and besides, what kind of extraordinary, can pass through a wooden door directly, or invalidate the counterlock?"
I know that...... Crane, shrouded in gray mist, was about to speak, but was preempted by the upside-down hangman:
"I need you to help me investigate something in exchange for an answer. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Audrey, interested and confused.
Alger glanced at the fool and said in a deep voice:
"I wonder if the king intends to take revenge on the Fersak Empire by this year or by June of next year by starting a new war on the east coast of Byron. ”
The current lingua franca of the "Tarot Society" is Rune, which is based on the accents of the three parties at the first meeting, so Alger knows that Miss Justice is a nobleman of the Kingdom of Rune, and he also believes that Miss Justice knows that she is a Rune.
As for the Fool, Alger thinks that his Rune trait is just a disguise, a disguise that facilitates communication.
- After that ritual magic, Alger unwittingly began to use "Him" to honor the Fool.
Audrey thought back to what she had seen and heard in various social occasions during this time, and nodded with some certainty:
"There is no problem, but it takes enough time to confirm. ”
"I can wait. Alger, the hanged man, smiled, "With Mr. Fool as a witness, I'm sure you won't be in debt." ”
Audrey glanced at the silent and mysterious fool in the gray mist, outlined the corners of her mouth and said:
"But I think it's worth more than the two questions I asked combined. ”
"When you confirm the answer, I will make amends according to the situation. Alger replied as if he had been prepared.
Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, do you need virtual currency to measure the value?" Klein leaned back with a smile and looked at the two of them.
Audrey quietly breathed a sigh of relief and cheered for herself in her heart.
Audrey, you've learned to bargain! She was so excited that she almost got out of the audience, and quickly found something to ask:
"Ah, yes, Mr. Hangman, did you receive the £1,000 in cash?"
"I'm sorry, I'm still at sea and haven't returned to land yet. Alger was reluctant to mention this matter, and directly answered the previous question, "The extraordinary person who can pass through the wooden door and make the anti-lock ineffective should be the Sequence 9 'apprentice', and the secret organization Gnosis will have its formula, but it is not ruled out that it can be obtained from other means, such as in an ancient tomb belonging to the Quaternary Period." ”
The Gnosis Society, the secret organization that is inextricably linked to the Witch Cult...... Klein rubbed his chin with his fingers leisurely.
Seeing that Mr. Fool did not refute, Audrey couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"If there had been a formula for 'apprenticeship', maybe I wouldn't have chosen 'audience'. ”
That performance was simply amazing!
Alger paid no attention to Miss Justice's words, and continued to himself:
"It is true that there is a sequence potion with a similar name to 'arbiter', and I don't think you should be familiar with it, because the sequence path that the Augustus family and the Castile family of the Fenerport kingdom jointly mastered started here, and of course, the recipe for the lower order was a reward in ancient times, and some nobles may have obtained it. ”
The House of Augustus was the royal family of the Kingdom of Rune, and the Castian family was the royal family of the Kingdom of Fenerport.
"It turns out that the beginning of the Augustus is the 'arbiter'......" Audrey suddenly felt that she had solved a puzzle that had puzzled her for a long time.
She sighed silently:
No wonder in front of them, I always want to obey the arrangement, I am always not comfortable enough, I am always willing to admit defeat, I am always not like myself! I thought it was because I was timid......
"The arbitrator has a convincing charisma and sufficient authority, as well as an excellent fighting ability to deal with the unexpected. Alger succinctly describes the situation.
Audrey nodded slowly, leaned back slightly, and said elegantly:
"I don't have a problem anymore. ”
Alger thought for a moment, and looked sideways at the bronze table:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to ask one thing, is the real Creator 'Sanctuary' that the Aurora will proclaim the legendary 'God's Forsaken'?"
Godforsaken is a term I've only seen once in Russell's diary...... There may be confidential information on the Nightwatch, but it's not part of it that I have access to right now...... How do you ask me to answer?, Crane almost twitched the corners of his mouth.
He thought about it for a few seconds, and replied in a flat tone:
"It's not something you should know by now. ”
Alger's heart tightened, and he immediately bowed his head and said:
"Please forgive me for my little transgression. ”
Audrey was about to ask what the "Godforsaken Land" was, but she gave up on it.
In the magnificent temple above the gray mist, silence and silence suddenly prevailed.
At this time, Audrey always felt that she should say something:
"Mr. Fool, if, I mean if, I have the opportunity to join another organization, such as the Psychological Alchemy Society, is it okay?"
Crane leaned back and chuckled:
"There is no problem, my only request is not to divulge the existence of the Tarot Society. ”
"If you become a member of another organization, the materials and intelligence you can use to exchange will definitely be promoted. ”
After saying this, he suddenly realized that he was also a member of other organizations, a real night watchman, and most of the hanged people had some relationship with the Church of the Lord of Storms.
Could it be that my tarot will be the so-called "League of Betrayers"?
"I see. Audrey was excited again, and immediately thought of a question, "Mr. Fool, if I find a gentleman or lady who is suitable for the Tarot Society, can I guide them to join, how should I guide them?"
Alger thought for a moment, then asked:
"Mr. Fool, what are the criteria for the follow-up members of our party to join, and how do you judge?"
There are ideals, morality, culture, and discipline...... These four phrases popped into Klein's mind in an instant.
He remained silent for a few seconds, and only spoke after a little uneasiness on the part of Justice and the Hanged Man:
"If you think it's appropriate, you can tell me here, and it's up to me to decide whether to let him join or not, until then, you can't do anything implicit, that will lead to the leakage of the secrets of the Tarot Society's existence, you have to remember, for non-party members, ......"
Klein paused and said in a deep voice:
"You shall not recite my name without my permission. ”
