Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 270 Contrasting Mr. "Wheel of Fortune"

The six pages of the journal submitted by The Hanged Man record the first appearance of Mr. Door.

At this time, Klein realized what Star had said before:

Who exactly is "the exiled Mr. Men" referring to? It turns out to be the poor guy mentioned in Roselle's diary who was trapped in the depths of the storm and lost in the darkness.

By the way, when Star talked about Mr. Men before, there was an unusual respect in his tone. He should have learned a lot about Mr. Men from Russell's diary?

And the new member Fors has some special connection with Mr. Men?
If this is the case, when it comes to this top-level strongman of the Fourth Epoch, it seems that there are many things worth exploring about this new member, Fors.

Klein thought half inwardly and half in confusion: However, since Star mentioned Mr. Men in this way, does this mean that the poor guy that Emperor Roselle met, who was trapped in the depths of the storm and lost in the darkness, is indeed not an evil god or demon?
Or even a good person? It's just that Emperor Roselle just happened to miss something?
Klein did not rashly want to contact Mr. Men, but thought it would be better to ask Star for help.

After all, he really didn't need to start another incident to gain anything.

——Emperor Roselle can have "Mr. Gate" or Zaratul to invest, and he, Klein, also has the help of the senior time traveler "Wheel of Fortune".

Judging from the Sequence 9 "Lawyer" formula of the "Black Emperor" pathway that Star had previously sold, Star was not unfamiliar with this high-level information.

For example, regarding the name of the "Black Emperor" of the Solomon Empire that was circulated among the major churches, Klein originally thought that this was a common title for every emperor of the Solomon Empire.

Now that I think about it, the "Black Emperor" might have become a top-level powerful being close to being a god.

And this name, like "Sun", is the name of the top sequence of this path?

Klein recalled the information that Star accidentally leaked when he introduced the potion formula. Now that he thought about it, Star used aliases such as "Sequence 9 of the 'Sun' pathway" and "Sequence 9 of the 'Black Emperor' pathway."

These all contain astonishing information. They are the existences at the top of this path—the gods. What are their names?
Hiss~ Star is so scary...

Klein was instantly overwhelmed, and had a deeper understanding of the erudition of this senior time traveler. At the same time, he felt a little sorry for Star - he didn't know what price Star had paid to obtain this information.

In short, after learning about the existence of "Mr. Men", the secrets of the Fourth Epoch, and the knowledge that gods can go crazy, the indestructibility of Beyonder characteristics, and the conservation of Beyonder characteristics from these two pages of information, Klein felt that the amount of information in these two pages of information was really huge, and at the same time, he had a big question:
Since those gods would often descend to the real world during the Fourth Epoch, directly interfering with the situation in the northern and southern continents, and perhaps even personally taking action like the god of death, what was the factor that caused them to stop descending and even the oracles to almost cease?
Could it be that something major happened at the end of the so-called "Age of the Gods"? What was it?

Klein thought a lot, and then found the last four pages of the diary. He found that it was no longer related to Mr. "Door". He was disappointed for a while, but then he thought that he could ask Star about the secrets in this regard later.

So he suppressed his curiosity, restrained his messy thoughts, read on, and saw Emperor Roselle's description of the extraordinary people on the path of "universalists".

This also made Klein understand that the "craftsman" that Star had previously asked The Hanged Man for was not a pseudonym, but the sequence name of this type of Beyonder who was good at making and using items.

Including the "Grip of Judgment" that he had seen before, Star should have quite a few sealed objects... or magical items, right?
I wonder if Star has any magical items suitable for him?

Klein was somewhat envious of these Beyonders who possessed a variety of props, but he also remembered his own current situation of being short of money and owing ten thousand in debt.

I have to say, he just laughed at Emperor Roselle for having a strange talent for comedy, why is it the other way around now?

Klein was speechless for a while, his expression frozen. Finally, he silently turned to the next page of the diary:
In addition to some of Emperor Roselle's "exciting" daily life, the diary about the time when he launched the coup d'état attracted Klein's attention the most.

The straightforward diary did not prevent Klein from imagining that legendary history. It also made him unconsciously think of the present and what Star had done before.

I really hope Star can succeed... Klein suddenly had this thought.

Then he rejected his idea:

The current situation is different from before. In addition, although there are chaos and wars in the northern continent, it has not reached the same level as the Intis Empire during that period.

It is unrealistic to expect changes that will affect the interests of many people and even the interests of the church.

This is definitely not as simple as it seems. Just as behind that famous incident there was the struggle of extraordinary people and the rebalancing of supernatural forces, if we want to seek change now, isn't there pressure from the church that holds the vast majority of supernatural powers?
How powerful does one have to be to think about establishing a "new heaven"?
Moreover, the turmoil caused by this is also a difficult problem...

Klein unconsciously gave a bitter smile. He could only put down the parchment containing the diary and think about some practical things:

For example, Zaratul, the man who had mentored Emperor Roselle, the leader of the secret order who also mastered the path of the "Fortune Teller".

Although he is now obtaining the formula to reach Sequence 5 and the main ingredients of the potion, it does not mean that he will not face off against Zaratul in the future.

If this top-level strongman of the "Fortune Teller" path covets this mysterious space that may have a very close relationship with the extraordinary "Fortune Teller" path - whether it is a "0" level seal left by a certain sequence, or the kingdom of God left by the gods before this path.

In short, "money can make people's hearts move", and apart from Star, Klein felt it necessary to be wary of these extraordinary people.

After all, Zaratul is a powerful being who was a "fortune teller" who was a "miracle worker" many years ago!

Therefore, he became more wary of Zaratul, the leader of the Secret Order, and was more motivated to advance his own sequence. Unfortunately, the ritual to advance to Sequence 5 required taking a potion while listening to the mermaid's singing. Klein was somewhat stumped when he saw that a ritual was needed to assist him at this stage.

Mermaid sounds like an "aquatic animal", so does this mean he wants to develop in the sea?

After obtaining the formulas for the Sequence 7, Sequence 6, and Sequence 5 potions of the "Fortune Teller" pathway, as well as the corresponding main ingredients for the potions, Klein himself did not actually have to stay in Backlund.

There was still a huge gap between him and his target of revenge, Ince Zangwill and the Sealed Artifact "0-08". There was no hope of success in the short term, and he didn't even dare to get close.

As for borrowing Sta's power, Klein still wanted to be self-reliant in his heart - even if Sta really had a way to temporarily fight against the combination of Ince Zangwill and the Sealed Item "0-08", it would not be good to waste his life-saving trump card.

Therefore, it is not necessary to stay in Backlund, but it is still a bit dangerous for Sequence 7 to leave Backlund and go out to sea now?
I should first collect information about mermaids from Backlund's Beyonder circle and at the Tarot Club, and prepare for going out to sea to complete the ritual... After becoming a "Faceless Man" and digesting most of it, I will go out to sea to look for mermaids... Klein suddenly had such a thought.

Of course, this way the prepaid rent won’t be wasted.

With this thought in mind, Klein began to think about one thing, which was also the biggest motivation for him to set up the alias Mr. World.

Klein tapped the edge of the bronze table with his right index finger. His gaze slowly moved from Star, the Wheel of Fortune, to the World, and then to the Sun.
Oh, by the way, in the diary just now, Emperor Roselle described him as: "The Lord who created everything, the omniscient and almighty God."
This is very similar to the customs of Silver City. Where did he hear about this? The oldest and most secretive organization that secretly manipulates the world situation? Was this organization born before the creation of the "Forsaken Land of God"?

What a strange organization. Even Star said that he couldn’t know it now. But if it is in this gray fog space, there should be no problem, right?

Isn't it possible to give people psychological hints? Then why don't you just hypnotize me after saying it?

It can't be that this name is "not even to be mentioned"? When you know it, it will be known in turn?

Klein complained in his heart and continued to tap the bronze table. He had many doubts about this secret organization and even wondered what the relationship between Star and this organization was? Under such circumstances, how could he know so much about the intelligence of this oldest and most secretive organization that secretly manipulated the world situation?

Could it be that they are in an antagonistic relationship? The one who knows you best is often your enemy... Well, Star knows so much, maybe it doesn't matter if he knows a little more.

Deep down, Klein still didn't want Star to face off against an organization that was said to be interfering with the progress of history and secretly manipulating world trends:

Is this dangerous? Not to mention the danger, whether or not you can defeat him is another matter.

Perhaps this information is just "common sense" to Star's golden finger... After thinking about it, Klein had a new idea, so he smiled calmly and said:
"Roselle mentioned some hidden history and some simple common sense in the diary. The latter reminded me that I didn't seem to tell you."

Hidden history? Simple common sense?

As expected, there were many secrets recorded in Emperor Roselle’s diary… Fors, who had just joined the Tarot Club, was immediately filled with thoughts and even felt that there should be many things worth exploring in Emperor Roselle’s diary.

For example: Did this former consul of the Republic of Intis have a beloved woman, and how many romantic affairs did he have in his life?
However, Emperor Roselle wouldn't write about his love history in his diary, right?

As a best-selling author who specializes in romantic novels, Fors was simply exercising his professional instincts.

Then, she, Xio and the others looked towards the top of the ancient long table in surprise.

You get “benefits” just by joining this party, so what’s there to be dissatisfied about?
After a quick glance, Fors saw that everyone was looking intently at the top of the ancient long table, except Mr. World.

This Mr. World is a bit dull...

Even Mr. World didn't seem very smart, so Mr. Wheel of Fortune had to advise him before? To prevent this member from not being able to adapt to the new environment?
Fors did not continue to think about this topic, because Miss Justice immediately took on the role of a supporting actor again:

"Mr. Fool, what common sense did Emperor Roselle mention? I can pay you in exchange for this information."

I want to talk to you alone! She added silently in her heart.

After a pause, a figure appeared in her mind, and Miss Justice muttered in her heart: But, I can share it with him later...

Klein chuckled and said:

"No, this is simple common sense."

"After seeing this part of the diary, as the convener of the Tarot Club, I think it is necessary to let you all know. Of course, I am well aware that some of you have already mastered it."

Audrey suddenly became dazed and looked at Mr. Wheel of Fortune:
The first person she thought of was Star, and she believed that Mr. Fool's words were alluding to the knowledgeable Mr. Wheel of Fortune.

Audrey couldn't help but blush when she thought of the slightly "arrogant" thought just now.

However, Mr. Fool was indeed referring mainly to Star, and the Silver City where the "Sun" was located.

And the "Hanged Man" also knew something. Star had even shared the content of the law of the indestructibility of extraordinary characteristics long ago. Even the extraordinary characteristics condensed by extraordinary people were sold in piles.

If Klein didn't know the sources of some of the extraordinary characteristics, he would have been like some of the members at this moment: I really don't know where Star found so many extraordinary characteristics, and he might even be surprised and terrified by the truth behind them.

Klein stopped tapping his fingers and continued describing in a calm tone:

"The first common sense is the law of the indestructibility of extraordinary characteristics. Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced. They will only be transferred from one thing to another."

This is to supplement the two new members, the Magician Fors and the Judgement Miss Xiu.

"So, after the death of an out-of-control Beyonder, an item with Beyonder properties will be left behind. It could be the main ingredient for a potion, or it could be a magical item that needs to be sealed. The same is true after the death of a normal Beyonder, except that it will be equivalent to the corresponding potion without the auxiliary ingredients. Of course, it will also have certain Beyonder abilities and can be used as a semi-finished magical item."

Those few plain words instantly echoed in Fors and Xio's minds, piling up layer upon layer, rising higher and higher, and finally merging into a huge thunder.

They and other members of the Tarot Club suddenly looked at Star, who was sitting at the side of the bronze table, strangely:

Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" is so gentle and approachable, and what he sells the most is - Extraordinary Characteristics!
The extraordinary characteristics condensed after the death of the extraordinary person!
He also sold more than that many different sequences of extraordinary characteristics in one package!
For a moment, Forte thought of Mr. Doyle's usual casual elegance, warmth and peace, and then thought of the truth behind those extraordinary characteristics.

She and everyone present expressed the same feeling in their hearts:

Isn't this a way to kill embryos?
