Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 345 How to interpret Roselle’s diary?

"The City of Generosity", Bayam.
Danitz and Anderson walked side by side on the street, chatting in voices that only the two of them could hear.
"So, those lunatics of the Iron Cross finally couldn't stand your big mouth anymore and sent three demigods to kill you, and then you relied on Gehrman Sparrow's messenger to save your life?"

Danitz asked, not sure whether he was feeling relieved or regretful.

Anderson naturally would not be angered by such a basic provocation, and grinned: "So, am I very smart, do you admire me very much?"

Worship your mother! Danitz cursed Anderson's shamelessness in his heart.

"Why didn't Hermann's messenger abandon you on a deserted island in the southern continent?"

Danitz bought two large glasses of light beer from a water seller carrying a huge iron kettle on the roadside, and stuffed one into Anderson's mouth unhappily. "What do those lunatics want your characteristics for?"

“Don’t talk like it has nothing to do with you. You’re almost promoted to Sequence 5 now. You can’t escape if I’m caught.”

Anderson reminded, then spread his hands: "As for what they want to do... I don't know either. After all, I didn't have much to say to them when I was in the Iron Cross."

Isn't it because they can't stand your bad mouth?

Danitz grumbled in his heart, but asked, "No way, even they can't stand you? I can understand them."

"Yes, they deliberately excluded me because I am handsome and smart. I am also very distressed."

Anderson lifted his golden bangs and said, "I didn't expect that you could understand my strengths. I am very touched."

I believed your lies! Danitz was about to open his mouth to refute, but suddenly remembered his previous experience with Anderson in the Lenburg area. He snorted and said, "A quick mind means failing the exam and being kicked out of the church school?"

"It seems that you have been re-enacting as I asked you to do during this period of time. This is a good thing."

Anderson paused, then changed the subject without leaving a trace. "However, if you want to ask me what those people are going to do with the Beyonder characteristics of the mid-sequence and above of the Hunter Path, I really can't answer you."

"So many extraordinary characteristics... Maric told me before that they have collected more than a thousand characteristics that meet the requirements."

“I really don’t know how they can preserve so many Beyonder Characteristics… If they use ordinary means, then it won’t take long before the Beyonder Characteristics merge with the surrounding environment to form new seals, right?”

Anderson kept talking, "If they really pile up those Beyonder characteristics together, will they create high-sequence monsters?"

Danitz was confused, but when he heard Anderson's words, he immediately perked up and said disdainfully, "Humph, you are a demigod who has received a good education in mysticism. Don't you even know that Beyonder characteristics are the most basic units of mystery?"

This was what Edwina Edwards had mentioned in her private lesson to Danitz the last time she left Bayam. When Anderson mentioned it today, Danitz immediately applied what he had learned and mocked Anderson.

In simple terms, the Beyonder's Beyonder properties after his death include one each of Sequence 9, Sequence 8, and Sequence 7 potions, and Sequence 7 potions cannot be replaced by many Sequence 8 potions, nor can Sequence 8 potions be decomposed into several Sequence 9 potions, and vice versa. This is why no matter how many low-sequence potions one drinks, one cannot be promoted to a high-sequence potion.

“Because I was kicked out of school, I didn’t learn much.”

Anderson laughed after hearing this, and was not as angry as Danitz imagined. "However, the most important point I still remember is that 'it is better to have no books than to believe in them completely'. I believe more in my own personal experience."

"So you've seen mystical phenomena that overturn the laws of Beyonder Characteristics? Stop bragging."

Danitz sneered, "If there really was such a discovery, with your personality, I'm sure you would have written it into a paper and shown it off to those professors who fired you back then."

"I prefer to call it a supplement to the three laws of Beyonder Characteristics." Anderson laughed, "And you've seen it before. It's not a rare phenomenon. The textbook your captain gave you is outdated."

Seeing that Danitz was still confused, Anderson laughed and said, "But strictly speaking, you didn't see it with your own eyes. After all, you were hiding in the cave when we were fighting it."

"You mean Grisian, the 'King of the North'?"

Danitz then realized that he had not been able to help the captain at all at that time. He felt very guilty and had been unwilling to recall what happened at that time. It was not until Anderson mentioned it that he realized that Grisian did fit Anderson's description.

It is the aggregation of all abilities in the frost domain, and it has mastered the mysterious effects of frost in different ways. With the accumulation of multiple authorities and powers, it has formed an existence in Groselle's Travels that is no less powerful than a demigod, except that it does not have the status of a demigod.

"Although Groselle's Travels is a very magical sealed object, the Iron Cross is an organization that controls a 'Conqueror' attribute, and there is no guarantee that there will be other related things. What sequence can the creatures stacked together be equivalent to in terms of authority? Will they really reach... the level of angels?"

“How should I know?” Danitz said in a distracted manner. Originally, he was just learning on the spot, but he was not optimistic enough to think that he could debate mystical knowledge with a demigod.

Seeing that he could not gain the upper hand with words, Danitz rudely interrupted Anderson's momentum to continue preaching, and forced a word in, "Alright, alright, you've been out for a while, you should go back to the Seagod Church. The demigod of the church is also in Bayam recently, and the captain will come back soon to replenish food and fresh water. You mustn't make trouble, otherwise I will put you in."

He looked at the three-masted sailing ship passing by the harbor, pointed at the dark muzzle of the gun on the side and said, "Go into that gun barrel!"

Although Anderson is a demigod, this place is still the territory of the Tarot Club and the Church of Poseidon after all. Mr. "Sun" and those half-giant deacons did not leave. As a messenger of God, Danitz is not inferior to Anderson.

Anderson didn't take it seriously. After all, he had heard this kind of empty threat once before when he boarded the Golden Dream. It was just that Danitz seemed to have found a new backer this time.

Thinking of this, Anderson asked mischievously, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You are now an envoy of the Church of Poseidon. Your strength is barely enough. You have the new Church of Poseidon and the Church of Fools as your backers. Have you made any progress with your captain?"

With a clang, the wooden cup in Danitz's hand fell to the ground, leaving a crack, but Danitz's attention was not on that.

His face suddenly turned purple, he took a big sip of beer and started coughing violently, as if this could help him hide his panic.

"Okay, I was just joking. I know you don't have the guts to do it anyway."

Anderson smiled. He knew Danitz's temper. Even if he didn't ask, he knew that even if this guy was rich now, he was still inferior to Edwina, let alone confess his feelings.

"What did you say?"

Danitz subconsciously retorted, "It's not that I don't dare, I'm just not ready yet... Wait a little longer, until I'm promoted to Sequence 5, I'll go find the captain!"

"Tsk tsk." Anderson didn't comment, just smiled and stuffed a small box containing a dark red crystal into his pocket.

I originally wanted to bring him a Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic this time. If I gave it to him now, he might be frightened and lose his mind...

Anderson thought about Edwina's reaction when he heard the news, and couldn't help but take a big sip of beer and sighed with satisfaction.

Moreover, with Edwina's temper, if this guy gets a trait promotion in the next few days and then expresses his feelings directly out of passion, he will most likely fail... After all, she had clearly stated at the beginning that she liked the opposite sex with brains.

Anderson recalled when he and Edwina Edwards were classmates. At that time, Anderson joked with Edwina and asked her if she liked him, and he got this answer.

Anderson grew up in a church school and was a straight man. He thought Edwina was looking down on his intelligence, so he pulled Edwina's hair...

Thinking of the past that he couldn't bear to look back on, Anderson smiled, shook his head, and followed Danitz slowly towards the headquarters of the Church of Poseidon.

……

Wendy's cabin on the Yukikaze.

Constantine was sitting on the bed opposite Wendy, his eyes slightly closed, trying to gather his strength.

There were seven female crew members on the Yukikaze, including Adele, so after Adele asked them to form teams of two to prevent attacks from enemies lurking in the dark, she was left alone.

So, Adele naturally stuffed Constantine into her room, which made Wendy, who was an Intis but still a Chinese at heart, feel a little embarrassed.

It's not that she didn't want to, but she subconsciously felt that it was a bit too fast to live together now. However, Wendy couldn't tell Adele because Adele's arrangement was not unreasonable. The witches were already used to living in two-person cabins, and no one would be willing to go back to living in four-person cabins.

Besides, anyone with eyes could see what happened between her and Constantine, so it was reasonable for Adele to make such arrangements.

Fortunately, although Constantine usually likes to cling to her like a big dog, he is actually a person who is very good at observing people's words and expressions. He can always take the initiative to distance himself and slow down his offensive before Wendy feels embarrassed, so that there is no unpleasantness between the two.

And now, Wendy leaned against the bulkhead, glancing at Constantine's profile with her peripheral vision, while writing and drawing on a piece of white paper with a pencil, trying to find some clues.

Adele had already given her the so-called diary of Emperor Roselle and asked her to translate it herself to see if she could find any clues.

Wendy had skipped the first part and went straight to read the Chinese part written by Roselle herself. Now she was ready to read it from beginning to end.

After spending about twenty minutes, Wendy sighed and put the notebook down.

I thought reading the ugly handwriting of Emperor Roselle was torture enough, but I didn’t expect the main text to be even more outrageous than this…

Wendy shook her head. At this moment, she even wanted to cover her face with her hands.

It seems that Emperor Roselle made a diary in order to emulate the emperors of past dynasties. This diary specifically records Roselle's emotional history, including when he stayed at the maid's house, when he sneaked out to find his mistress and other private matters. There is nothing related to mysticism at all.

"In the end, the only part of the entire notebook that has anything to do with the occult is the attachment that includes the photocopy of Roselle's diary..."

Wendy was a little frustrated. If she couldn't find the clues soon, she would have to live in fear for a long time. Thinking of Adele's hope when she gave her the notebook, it was not easy to tell her that there was nothing serious in the notebook...

and many more?

Wendy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something very important.

If there is nothing abnormal and no extraordinary elements in the main text of this diary written by an ordinary person, why was it selected by the ship's loaders and put into the collection?
The works that were originally locked in the bottom of the Nebuchadnezzar were rescued, each of which was the most famous representative of an art genre and had outstanding symbolic significance.

But how can this diary, which can be regarded as a history of the chaotic private life of Emperor Roselle, be compared with those inventions?
There is no valuable information in the main text unless people from the Church of Knowledge can understand Chinese.

However, is this really difficult?
Wendy was a little unsure.

After all, she was a time traveler who had never seen blood, so it was too easy for her to reveal everything when facing the church's methods. Even if she had to hand over her complete knowledge of Chinese, it would not be impossible.

Recalling what Adele said about the crazy workers' movement and demonstrations that occurred throughout Feysac, Wendy even suspected that the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom might have controlled such a time traveler and learned a lot from him, and the Chinese pronunciation might be one of them.

——After all, inciting marches and workers' movements are almost the standard political skills of time travelers.

However, the oil here seems to be involved in underground pollution. Without the internal combustion engine to drive the Second Industrial Revolution, there is no foundation even if there is a desire for revolution. As a result, the public sentiment incited by the Church of Knowledge is not stable, just like rootless duckweed, which will be washed away by the slightest rush of water.

If, if the Church of Knowledge really has a way to decipher Emperor Roselle's diary, then what kind of changes will this old knowledge bring to them who are already good at using knowledge?
Wendy couldn't imagine it.

(PS: Actually I wanted to take a day off today to celebrate Children’s Day, but when I looked at my schedule, I found that it was full.)
