1100 One Book (2/2)
Cattleya secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
There are two questions this time:
”First, why does one need to be careful of the Spectator?”
Be careful of the Spectator? Audrey wore a blank look. For a moment, she was unable to find any leads for coming up with a guess. She even examined herself.
Be careful of the Spectator? The Moon Emlyn, The Star Leonard, and the other members of the Tarot Club all cast their gazes at Miss Justice.
The Fool Klein chuckled and leisurely said, ”A Spectator always likes to hide in the shadows to secretly control certain matters, making it difficult for people to notice and be on their guard.
”In particular, one needs to be especially careful towards Angel of Imagination Adam. 'His' apotheosis ritual is to consume the potion when the trend of the times follows what 'He' envisioned.”
”The trend of the times that follows what 'He' envisioned... Allow the development of the times to meet 'His' expectations?” Justice Audrey couldn't help but ask Mr. Fool.
Klein nodded slightly and said, ”That's right.
”A war that sweeps the entire world is exactly what Adam wants.”
This... The Hanged Man Alger, The Hermit Cattleya, and the other members of the Tarot Club were bombarded by the information divulged by Mr. Fool, and their minds were momentarily incapable of thought.
Be it the apotheosis ritual or the trend of the times, all of them involved a very, very high level. It was so high that they could only look up at it!
Suddenly, they vaguely understood the reason why the Psychology Alchemists were deeply involved in the royal family's conspiracy. And the members who knew of the Twilight Hermit Order further understood the essence of keeping the trend of the times on track.
Only an existence at Mr. Fool's level can understand these secrets and participate in the corresponding game... Alger quickly found his train of thought and sighed inwardly. He was increasingly eager to become a demigod.
He believed that this war would bring him plenty of opportunities, but he didn't know if he could seize them.
The members of the Tarot Club were silent. As their thoughts ran through their heads, The Fool Klein, let out an inexplicable sigh. This was because he had no way of stopping this war. If it was only the matter of making George Ill's Black Emperor ritual fail, he could jump through some hoops and stretch himself out to affect it slightly. However, in this war involving the trend of the times, even if he was an angel—a Sequence 1 angel—there was no way he could affect the overall situation. Forcibly trying to stop it would only squish him under the rolling wheels of history.
Apart from Adam, who has spent one to two thousand years arranging for such a plot to play out, the rest of them— even the Kings of Angels—can only change certain situations but not the overall trend. Only a true deity at Sequence 0 can truly participate in this game... It's no wonder the emperor said that only by becoming a god can he protect those who he wants to protect... The only thing I can do now is to make preparations for the Resistance in the Rorsted Archipelago. I hope they have the opportunity of being liberated from being colonies... Klein reined in his thoughts and made his gaze maintain a smiling look.
He wasn't blindly opposed to everything about war. The education he had received in his previous life, and what he had seen at sea and in East and West Bayam, had made him have a supportive attitude towards overthrowing colonial rule.
To put it simply, what he didn't like and abhorred was an ”unjust war.”
Sensing Mr. Fool's gaze, The Hermit Cattleya controlled her chaotic thoughts and said again, ”Secondly, where is the secret mausoleum that Emperor Roselle has yet to discover?”
Secret mausoleum? Yet to be discovered? Fors became more focused as she felt that this was material for a bestselling novel that possessed all kinds of popular elements.
On the other hand, Audrey and Alger could acutely sense something from this question:
The eldest daughter of Roselle probably wasn't willing to accept her father's death, and was still searching for traces left behind by ”Him,” hoping to find clues to revive the emperor.
Of course, they couldn't eliminate the possibility that there were other important items in the secret mausoleum. That might be Queen Mystic's goal as well.
Roselle even left behind a secret mausoleum? I wonder what's inside... The Star Leonard and Judgment Xio were more concerned about this.
The Fool Klein was already prepared for this. He smiled and said, ”Perhaps in the Fog Sea—in the secret primitive island Roselle discovered—or the Abyss.”
Abyss... Emlyn immediately felt his eyelids twitch.
In the history of the Sanguine, there were many records of Second Epoch Devils wreaking havoc. Even when he read those materials after thousands of years since it happened, he still felt himself turn impetuous and become entangled by chaos.
The Sun Derrick had a similar feeling as him, but he didn't think too much about it. When reading certain documents, his mental state would be over-exerted, and his mental state would unknowingly be affected. This was common knowledge known by everyone in the City of Silver, so he had to first receive general education and listen to a teacher's recount.
Abyss... Audrey, Xio, and company subconsciously repeated that term in their hearts.
In their daily lives, the Abyss was an abstract expression. It was synonymous with danger, pain, decadence, and corruption.
They never expected that it really existed somewhere in the Fog Sea!
