Chapter 59 - Rosel's Initial

When Audrey heard the "idiot" question, she didn't answer immediately as she usually did. Instead, she opened her bright eyes and looked at the "Hangman" with an inquiring gaze. Algier unconsciously restrained his movements and remained silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I found two pages of Emperor Rosel's diary and remembered their contents." "I have one page." With her gaze blocked by the gray fog, Audrey replied in a detached tone. "Very good." Klein didn't let his joy or disappointment seep into his voice. What he was delighted about was that there were a full three pages, while what he was disappointed about was that there were only three pages. Because the first collection was definitely relatively easy, it was an exploration of one's own resources and channel potential. In the future, it would become increasingly difficult and involve more factors. "Let's 'express' it now?" Audrey asked calmly. "Yes." Klein nodded briefly. He maintained his previous posture, almost without any change. "In front of the 'audience', one must be cautious." As his words fell, yellowish-brown parchment and dark red pens appeared before Audrey and Algier. Each of them picked up the writing tools and began to recall the symbols in their minds, giving an urgent expression to convey their emotions. In an instant, the yellowish-brown parchment had more lines of text, some upright and grand, some delicate and winding, and some crooked. In less than a minute, the content that Audrey and Algier forcibly remembered was all transferred onto the paper. Klein's mind suddenly registered, and those three pages of parchment appeared in his hand. He scanned with his gaze and browsed through the diary, noticing that the language order was reversed, and there were missing words and typos in the content. However, the experiment proved that within a certain degree of error, the reading of Chinese wouldn't be affected, and the person who had been tortured by asterisks for a long time had no fear of missing words or typos: "On April 8th, I stood at the bow of the 'Black Throne' and opened my arms, telling Green and Edwards and others: 'Do you want my treasure? Then go to the end of the fog sea to search for it. I have hidden all my treasures here!' They completely didn't understand my humor and actually asked if I really had extra treasure. How boring! You guys can't be my messianic Four Knights!" "April 11th, an unnamed small island was discovered on a non-safe shipping route. There were many extraordinary species on it, no, I prefer to call them extraordinary species, which gives them more prestige. Besides them, there were many strange creatures on the island. I think if Darwin had traveled back, he would definitely be unable to write the theory of evolution again." "April, Green became a bit strange. Was it infected by something?" When Emperor Rosel the Great was born in the Kingdom of Initus, when did he sail? The fog sea should be the ocean to the west of the Initus Republic... Well, he needs to go to the library to find some historical materials to compare... Klein quickly finished reading one page and turned his gaze to the next. At this moment, he no longer concealed the fact that he knew Emperor Rosel's secret symbols, because this was a behavior consistent with the identity of the "idiot", and Audrey and Algier didn't speak. They sat quietly waiting. They seemed not to be surprised at this result or this phenomenon at all, and even thought that it should be this way that was correct. "October 2nd, they decided to make me and the Abel family's Matilda engaged without consulting me first! Oh my god, I haven't even met her yet! No way, I have to refuse! Even if I run away from home, even if I have to fend for myself from now on, endure all the oppression, I will resist this arranged marriage!" "Ten, Miss Matilda is really beautiful." "October 6th, her personality, her temperament, are all the types I like. I start to look forward to our marriage." Hey, Emperor, where's your integrity... Klein leaned back in the high-backed chair, blocking his emotions from penetrating the mist. He noticed that the early Rosser did not keep a diary every day. Usually, only when something happened that needed to be joked about, recorded, or expressed emotions would he start writing. His gaze moved down, and Klein looked at the last entry on this page: "On October 9th, they actually called me the Son of Steam. I liked it very much." Seeing that the contents of the previous two pages were of little value for the time being, Klein couldn't help but feel a slight disappointment. But he didn't lose heart. He moved the third page of the diary to the top. Both sides of this page were written with the content: On the 21st, the Church of the Craft God gave me two choices, the starting points of two sequential paths. One was 'Generalist', which belonged to the complete sequence chain they themselves possessed, and the other was 'Secret Seeker', obtained from the Mosch Monastery, lacking a higher sequence. On the 22nd, my choice was simple, 'Generalist'! A complete 'Generalist'! Although having more knowledge of mysticism would help me find a way home, the problem was that without being strong enough, such a journey would inevitably rely on external forces, and whether these forces were good or bad, kind or malicious, was uncontrollable and very dangerous. Therefore, it would be better to make oneself stronger and return by one's own power. So, the complete sequence was my top consideration!" On the 23rd, I became a 'Generalist', thanks to the power of the potion. I actually completely recalled the knowledge I had learned before, physics, chemistry, and so on. "Not only did I recall, but I also deeply understood and mastered them. Ha ha, this is exactly the 'profession' tailored for me as an outsider! It can maximize my advantages! I have to say, if I go back in this state, I will definitely become the top student in senior year, and if there is more standardized and in-depth professional learning, the goal of becoming a scientist is not too difficult." On the 26th, I enjoyed the identity of 'Generalist'. A strange thing happened. When I regarded myself as a 'Generalist', everything I did fit its positioning. The whispers that almost drove me crazy became quieter, my occasional outbursts of anger were controlled, and I remembered the diary incident. "Is this what the mysterious Mr. Chalatur said about 'acting'? This might be the key to solving the problem of the potion's danger." Klein looked at this diary page, deeply feeling that he had significant differences in character and style from Emperor Rosser. For example, when it came to returning home, he more thought about using a deeper understanding of mysticism knowledge to avoid danger and achieve the goal, while Emperor Rosser's idea was to control the danger by himself. "Speaking of which, I can't help but envy such people. Maybe everyone craves what they don't have... Of course, I also have to consider strengthening myself, and both aspects need to be strong... " Thoughts kept emerging in Klein's mind, making him sigh. And Emperor Rosser's description of reducing the danger of the potion gave him more confidence in his summary from last night, and gave him a clearer grasp of the essence of 'acting'. Putting away the three pages of the diary, Klein looked up at "Justice" and "The Hangman", smiling slightly: "Sorry, I was so absorbed." Audrey smoothed out her envy in her heart and smiled calmly: "I can understand. I look forward to exchanging Emperor Rosser's diary content with you one day." "That requires a price, though." Klein smiled at "Justice", then swept his gaze over the silent "The Hangman". Audrey clasped her hands in front of her and said: "Mr. Fool, Mr. Hangman, I have three questions to ask. If you think the answers are of high value, just tell me what you want, and I will try my best to find them later." "No problem." Alger replied simply and calmly. Klein nodded gently and leaned back more comfortably. Audrey thought for a few seconds and said: "The first question, 'What does 'play' mean? I found that the residual spirit in the potion had a very minor effect on me. Is it because I have been playing the role of an audience for this period of time?" Alger didn't speak and turned his gaze towards the fool, seemingly waiting for an answer. Klein tapped the edge of the long table with his finger and said in a relaxed tone: "I'll explain it with a more vivid example. The core power of the sequence potion is like a heavily guarded castle. Those residual, counterproductive spirits reside within the castle. Our goal is to solve it and truly become the castle's master." "We have two methods now. One is to force our way in. This may not succeed, but it will definitely harm ourselves. Unless we crush them with an overwhelming advantage, but obviously we don't have that." "The second method, we have an invitation letter given by the castle master. This invitation letter allows us to pass through the guards' checks and smoothly enter the castle, easily defeating the enemies. But the problem is that this invitation letter has the appearance characteristics and corresponding temperament description of the guests, so we must disguise ourselves and 'play' as the invited guests. Do you understand?" Alger seemed to have guessed it and immediately asked back: "Then this invitation letter is the name of the sequence potion?" "Yes." Klein gave an affirmative reply. Audrey was suddenly enlightened and felt that she completely understood the meaning of "play". And with a slightly agitated mood, she immediately broke away from the "audience" state and praised joyfully: "It's truly an outstanding method. I think, I think, it perfectly matches your title. Its style is very consistent with 'the fool'.... I never expected that 'play' works in this way, and fortunately, I have been instinctively playing the role of 'the audience' these days." She paused and then said: "I think this is a very valuable answer. I can't just accept it peacefully. Mr. Fool, what kind of exchange do you need? Of course, I still owe you a page of Roselius Emperor's diary." "More Roselius diaries, or..." Klein paused. He originally wanted to say any information about the "diviner" sequence, but he felt that such a low-level request would damage the Fool's image, so he temporarily gave up and planned to ask in an inconspicuous way at a later opportunity. Anyway, I haven't fully digested the "diviner" potion yet... He reassured himself, silently adding: "Or any information about the Antigonus family, even the parts I knew before, is fine." Alger was silent for a few seconds, carefully looked at the top of the bronze long table, and slowly began to speak: "Mr. Fool... Now I can pay you for your just answer."
