Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 194 Diary

"The dream remains unchanged, but the dukes come and go..."

Rosell recalled the legend of the Empire's "Duke of Dreams".

Legend has it that the Dream Duke's castle is the true heart of this ancient empire, and the emperor and the other dukes must heed the will of the Dream Castle.

The strongest evidence of this is that the empire's most important power, finance, is controlled by Dream Castle.

Rosell was even more astonished when he learned from his adoptive father that even the Emperor of the Empire had to consult Dream Castle on financial matters.

This dream castle held a very special place in the Solomon Empire.

"It seems this 'Dream' is the biggest mastermind behind this world!"

"From now on, he'll be my greatest enemy. I'll take him down and take charge!"

puff!

Truman, who was drinking sweet iced tea and trying to amuse himself by talking about Russell, this "country bumpkin," suddenly spat it out.

How did you come to this conclusion? No wonder it's Russell; his thought process is completely different!

Rosell, who was gradually figuring out the effects of the silver medallion, had already gained basic knowledge of the extraordinary from it and learned about the existence of the extraordinary world, but he remained confident in himself.

This is probably partly due to Truman.

The power of that silver medal is probably enough for Roselle to choose three abilities at will in each sequence.

For example, after he becomes Sequence Nine, he can choose any three abilities from "Diviner", "Thief" and "Apprentice" on the silver card.

This kind of cheat is equivalent to having three magical items with no side effects, and the advantages become more obvious as you go higher in the sequence.

"No, I'm too excited, I have to share this with someone!" After exploring the power of the silver medal, Roselle's face turned red with excitement, and he jumped up and down, wishing he could upgrade to Sequence Nine immediately.

"Oh, right, I can keep a diary!"

"Hehe, I can write it in simplified Chinese, since no one can decipher it anyway! I can even record some confidential information as a memo..."

"Only a serious person like me would keep a diary!"

Russell pulled out a pen and paper and wrote down his excitement and disappointment since coming into this world.

During this process, he sorted out his thoughts and became more confident and hopeful about the future.

"First, join a church to get the potion!"

A fallen noble family doesn't even have any extraordinary individuals; in the end, Roselle has to fight for it all on his own.

The Church of the True Creator, the Church of the God of Craftsmen, the Church of the Eternal Sun...

These are the churches that are legally proselytizing in the Solomon Empire; the rest are illegal organizations.

In fact, he wanted to join the mysterious "Dream Cult" in one fell swoop and dismantle the mastermind behind the world's rule from within.

However, this "Dream Cult" is extremely strange. Unlike churches, it does not actively recruit believers. In fact, the condition for joining is a sufficiently devout faith, which is a bit difficult for Roselle's youth in the 21st century.

"Then there's no need to choose, there's only one option!"

The Church of the "God of Craftsmen"!

"Praise be to you, God of Machines! One day, I will make the Craftsmen's Church rename itself the Cult of Machines."

At this moment, the gears of fate quietly began to turn, everything took its initial course, and then began to race toward an unknowable future.

Truman didn't interfere; he was looking forward to the moment when Russell would actually stand in front of him.

Hmm... it's also possible that he walked up to Roselle and worked with him on some kind of scheme.

"Your Majesty the Dream..."

A god has already come to Truman.

Truman heard a voice from a distant star realm.

"Oh, the 'craftsman'!" Truman blinked, his consciousness rising and heading towards the "perfect place".

This is the divine realm of the "God of Craftsmen," far above the astral plane, blocked by a rift.

Truman's consciousness went directly into the "Perfect Land".

This is a perfect place for craftsmen, where machines with various extraordinary abilities travel in all directions, far more modern than anything Truman remembers.

But this is all supported by the divine power of the "perfect ones" and cannot be popularized throughout the world.

Upon entering the "Perfect Land," Truman soon encountered the "Craftsman" on a giant lever.

After becoming a god, He was more like a robot, wearing a metal mask and with a silver gleam in His eyes.

"Long time no see." Truman nodded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Dream," the "Craftsman's" voice sounded like a machine, with a metallic quality.

"I saw you in the trajectory of future civilization."

The "Perfect One" is closely related to the development of civilization. As the leader of a civilization, He/She can see the future trajectory of civilization's development and make the choices that are most beneficial to the development of civilization.

"Craftsmen" embody the scenes they see along the trajectory of civilization.

A plume of steam hissed out, powering the steam engine, but also filling the sky with thick black fog.

The next moment, a new type of sailboat also set sail, riding the wind and waves.

These scenes all feature Truman and another man who appears somewhat dissolute and arrogant.

That's right, it's Russell.

This is probably some of the future that the "God of Craftsmen" saw in the trajectory of civilization's development after Roselle decided to join the "Craftsmen's" Church.

Russell appears prominently in these images, portrayed as a "great man" who, in the eyes of civilization, drives the world forward.

"Yes, this person can put you at the forefront of civilization's development, and if I'm not mistaken, he has probably already decided to join your church."

Truman said it casually, then imprinted these images in his mind one by one, finally fixing his gaze on a book and remaining silent for a while.

Then he looked at the "craftsman".

The current "God of Craftsmen" is not the same "Craftsman" from the original timeline who hadn't fully digested the potion.

He is the true "Perfect One," possessing the most advanced technology in human civilization and forever standing at the forefront of civilization's development.

This puts the "Craftsmen" church in a very good position. Apart from the fact that the "Craftsmen" church is indeed weaker than other churches because of its youth, it has no other shortcomings.

Promoting the development of civilization is both a strengthening of the authority of the "perfect ones" and a guarantee for them.

"Should I make him my chosen one?" the "craftsman" asked.

"It's up to you. I can only tell you that some things will happen to him, so don't be too surprised."

It's not surprising that a highly proactive "time traveler" can do anything.

"...Okay." The craftsman nodded gently.

Truman did gain something here; he replicated the authority of the "Perfect One," but that was all.

He did not stand at the forefront of the development of civilization like a "craftsman," and his perception of the future of civilization was not as good as that of a "craftsman."

After looking at the trajectories of those future civilizations, he had an excellent idea.
