Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 274 That bastard Fool ran away with the Source Castle

Qin Sheng was smiling.

He knew that after the Hanged Man spoke of controlling potions, Klein would be like a switch had been flipped, showing off his unique, relatively advanced, and extraordinary knowledge.

Man-machine.

Mr. Fool mostly listened in on both Tarot sessions, and now that he finally had this opportunity, how could he possibly resist?

World-famous paintings are a must-see.

Once I leave the Tarot Club, what other evil gods can make me laugh?

What exactly was the emperor enjoying?
This is an unsolved mystery in Klein's mind, and he will not be able to find the answer for a long time to come.

After hearing Klein's instructions, Alger shuddered.

"Digestion, role-playing..."

He kept repeating those two words, as if he were seeing the clear sky after the clouds had parted.

Your emotional appeal to overthrow the political commissar is far too much, like a fool's lapdog.

"Thank you, Mr. Fool. Your insight has helped me understand something, and it is priceless, as precious as my life."

Alger didn't know about the role-playing method before, but the path he was on was: Sequence 9 was a sailor, Sequence 8 was a furious person, and Sequence 7 was a navigator.

For Alger, who spends most of his time at sea, this role is often played without him even realizing it.

So Alger had always found it strange that Alger's control over potions would sometimes suddenly surge dramatically, and sometimes he would experience special, indescribable sensations.

Compared to his fellow members of the Storm Church who remained on land, Xiao Jie's promotion speed was relatively fast.

Now, thanks to Klein's prompting, Alger finally realized that he had been passively playing a role!
Audrey looked bewildered and mumbled something incoherently.

Is this a circus performance involving both acting and digestion?

“No need for that, I prefer equivalent exchange.” Klein’s meaning couldn’t be clearer.

“Mr. Fool, what would you like to ask us to do?” Alger asked.

"Help me collect Russell Gustav's secret diary, even just one page will do."

Xiaoli and Xiaojie were surprised; this was the first time they had ever heard that the mysterious papers left by Russell were diaries.

“It is said that those were secret symbols invented by Emperor Roselle himself, and no one except him knows what they mean,” Audrey said.

"It is indeed undecipherable. If it is a kind of writing, it has not undergone any evolution."

Alger shook his head. "Many scholars have devoted their lives to the study of Russell, but have come up with nothing."

Simplified Chinese is indeed confusing, Qin Sheng nodded in agreement.

This time-traveling predecessor is shameless! Not only did he copy books, poems, inventions, and titles, but he even claimed that he invented the Chinese language!
Klein was indignant. Didn't you ever consider the possibility of other time travelers appearing later, thus leaving some room for future generations to develop their own paths?!

Klein was saddened that he could not plagiarize as extensively as Russell.

“I have Russell’s diary,” Qin Sheng replied immediately.

Want Lao Huang's diary? That's easy.

I'll make it up for you, as much as you want, and in the end it might even be more than what Russell himself wrote.

Russell's Secret Diary?

It's Noah's secret diary!

Anyway, Rosell is lying dead now, and no matter how Qin Sheng writes his diary, he can't possibly climb out of his coffin and shout:
That's not what I said!
Upon hearing Qin Sheng's words, Klein was initially delighted, but then his heart skipped a beat.

"The Emperor is a powerful figure capable of hunting down pirate generals. What should I do if he produces a considerable number of diaries and makes unreasonable demands of me?"

After much deliberation, Klein realized that there was nothing about him that could be of any help to the emperor.

If the Emperor were to make a request, this mysterious fool would be powerless to fulfill it...

The day fools are disqualified!
“No, given the Emperor’s power, he might know about the impersonation method. I’ll ask him how many diaries he has first.” Klein had an idea.

“Very good, Your Majesty, how many diaries do you have?” Klein looked at Qin Sheng opposite him.

"I have three now, and I can get more in the future. I have the channels to do so."

Even if Qin Sheng didn't make things up himself, his niece had many of Russell's diaries.

"The value of the knowledge I just mentioned is equivalent to three diaries. I know that someone of your rank, Your Majesty, must already know this knowledge."

Why are there three diary entries?
I remember in the original storyline, the role-playing method was only worth two diaries.

You fool, raising prices at the last minute, huh? You're just being difficult now, don't blame me for doing the same thing!

Klein said calmly, "So, you can choose to make another request to me."

It fully displays the demeanor of a fool.

“Although I am very familiar with role-playing, I am still willing to pay for knowledge,” Qin Sheng said.

Klein nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, Mr. Emperor has a strong sense of authenticity and deserves respect."

In fact, Klein was gambling that Qin Sheng would choose to "buy" the impersonation method because he was wary of him as a mysterious figure.

It's obvious he won the bet; I, the Fool, am truly amazing!

Klein conjured up paper and pen, and Qin Sheng began writing in his diary. He deliberately made the characters crooked and distorted, but the meaning was still barely legible.

After Russell's death, his diary was widely circulated and many people made copies of it. It is normal that the handwriting on the diary is different from the original.

The Fool handed the three diaries to Klein and began to read them with satisfaction, but his expression froze the next second.

"On April 1st, I thought I shouldn't have chosen the 'Generalist' path, and that it would have been better to go the 'Apprentice,' 'Thief,' or 'Diviner' route. But looking back now, I realize that my judgment was wrong."

Klein was furious after seeing this.

He chose the path of the diviner because he read in Russell's diary that this time-traveling predecessor regretted not taking one of the three paths: apprentice, thief, or diviner, and thus decided to stand on the shoulders of giants to see the world. So you're saying choosing these three paths wasn't the right thing to do?

Russell, why do you keep changing your mind?

You jerk!

In fact, Klein wronged Rosell. What Rosell said in his diary was correct. The diary that Klein is reading now was improvised by Qin Sheng.

You'll be secretly delighted when the future Heavenly Emperor writes a diary for you to read.

The first diary entry isn't finished yet; there's more to come.

"From my current perspective, the assassin path is the best choice. Unfortunately, neither the generalists nor the diviners are adjacent to the assassin path and cannot switch to it. There is no going back."

Ke, don't say that your fellow villager didn't take care of you. Today I'll teach you about adjacent routes.

"The Assassin's Path sounds like a path specializing in attack and combat; it's probably very powerful," Klein thought to himself.

Assassins are indeed one of the few paths that are strong from start to finish, combining both stats and mechanics. Excluding overpowered characters like the average player, this path is definitely one of the strongest.

Furthermore, this path has a hidden surprise: its Sequence 7 is called the Witch. Any extraordinary individual in the Assassin's Path who is originally female will also become female if they advance to the "Witch" rank.

This is a route that can lead to gender reassignment...

The so-called strength is all nonsense.

“In the world of extraordinary beings, being strong is a good thing. Even the generalists of Emperor Roselle, and my diviners, did not have combat power in the early stages. It is understandable that he would have such a lament.”

Sigh, fellow villager, you've really screwed me over. If this diary of yours had come out sooner, I would have become an assassin.

Just hearing the name "assassin" sounds impressive!
Klein felt some regret; the Emperor had acted rashly, and so had he.

But as Roselle said, there's no going back. Now that he's chosen his path, there's no going back.

The last entry on this page of the diary left Klein somewhat puzzled.

"That's all for today's diary. There's still a Sequence 5 Assassin in my room, waiting for me to torture him. I hope he'll give me an even better experience than before."

Klein felt a chill run down his spine. Emperor Roselle seemed to be a bit perverted, actually deriving pleasure from torturing his enemies.

"It seems the Emperor has developed violent tendencies," Klein concluded.

The first diary entry saddened our Great Evil God, and when he looked at the second diary entry, his face darkened.

"June 1st, I'm in a bad mood today, so I'm not writing in my diary."

Even if you don't keep a diary, you should still write it down.
Roselle, you deserve to die!
Third diary entry:
"July 10th, fortune tellers, you are not human! From now on, I will beat every fortune teller I see, and even if they die, I will turn their extraordinary properties into magical items!"

The Fool leaned back slightly, his eyes vacant, as if he had been baptized.

I was just reading a diary, and I got scolded for it?

But Klein also knew that Roselle wrote the diary simply to record his life, not specifically for future time travelers.

He can write whatever he wants, and it wouldn't be surprising if any content appeared.

"I understand, but I still really want to go back to Russell's time and grab him by the neck so he wouldn't write everything in his diary."

Klein sighed and set the three pages of the diary aside.

After hearing the Fool's sigh, Xiaoli and Xiaojie had a thought in their minds.

Mr. Fool seems to know Russell. What is recorded in his diary, and why does he react this way?

The things that could make such a mysterious being as Mr. Fool sigh must probably involve major events such as the fate or death of Emperor Roselle.
I really want to know what's written in the diary!

Audrey and Alger also had unsolved questions in their minds: Why did the Fool sigh?

"Mr. Fool, do these three diaries meet your requirements?" Qin Sheng asked at the opportune moment.

Klein wanted to return the diary to the Emperor and have him hand it over again, but he still had his pride.

Never mind, at least I learned about the Assassin path from the diary, and that adjacent paths seem to be interchangeable, as well as the mysterious terms "extraordinary traits" and "magical items."

“Yes,” the Fool said in a low voice.

Hmm, the Emperor's aura is even more pleasant now. Is it because he has received my approval?
It seems the Emperor approves of the Tarot Society and of me, the Fool; he's a good comrade!

“Then I will continue to provide you with the diary,” Qin Sheng said.

We can't just make things up...

Let's say nine fakes and one real!

In future Tarot gatherings, Russell's Diary will be the hard currency here, just like using gold pounds in Loen.

Qin Sheng's ability to write his own diary is tantamount to him controlling the Tarot Club's money-printing machine...

Klein was somewhat worried. Continuing to obtain Russell's diary was certainly good news for him, as it allowed him to learn a lot of useful and advanced knowledge.

"But the problem remains: my rule is based on equivalent exchange. The more diaries the emperor gives me, the greater the price I have to pay..."

Klein was somewhat bewildered; he had already envisioned himself accumulating massive debts and being unable to repay them.

How will he face the Emperor then?

'Mr. Fool, I need a potion.'

“Mr. Fool, I want gold pounds.”

"Mr. Fool, I want a beauty."

Klein felt numb at the thought of all the demands the emperor might make in the future.

I can't do anything!
The Fool began to seriously consider the possibility of disbanding the Tarot Club and running away with the money.

Since he's an evil god, it's normal for him to do bad things, right?
