Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 19 What do you want?

"really."

Klein sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless but not surprised by Ember's sudden outburst.

Since the other party speaks Chinese, they will inevitably ask for these diaries just like he did.

This was something he had considered long ago.

The problem is that if Ember also reads these diaries, his next attempt to "show off" by using the contents of the diaries will risk being exposed.

This would make the identity of the "fool" extremely awkward.

then.

Klein made a "great decision"—

Read it through first; if it's important, you can use it to show off on the spot.

That is to show Ember some outdated diaries with key content hidden.

In any case, everything above the gray fog was manifested by him, and the embers could not see what Miss Audrey had written on the parchment.

If you secretly make some "minor" modifications, the other party will definitely not know.

What if I get suspected because I made too many changes?

At worst, he can just make up some details to complete the diary later, and that way there will be no mistakes.

Ok.

perfect.

"My...lover."

Audrey's intense curiosity overcame her shame, and she asked, "Can you read Emperor Roselle's diary?"

"I can understand it, but only a little bit."

Yu Jin nodded slightly and said rather modestly.

"Being able to understand even a little bit is already quite impressive!"

Audrey murmured, "My lover must be a very accomplished linguist, right?"

That's a script invented by Emperor Roselle, and to this day, no one can understand it.

Except for Mr. Fool, who is, after all, a deity and cannot be generalized.

"A linguist?"

Klein, the "Fool," couldn't resist making sarcastic remarks again. "He doesn't even know the common language of Rune, what kind of scholar is he!"

He was certain from their last meeting that Ember did not speak Rune.

The fact that the other party can communicate in real life must be due to the effect of magical items.

It could also be some special items or props from Dark Souls.

As for what it is, Klein already had a guess.

He recognized all the rings on the other person's fingers, but he didn't recognize the 'eyeball' hanging around the other person's neck.

Therefore, it is very likely that this is the magical effect of the eyeball.

Last time it was probably worn on the main body, so the soul that came above the gray fog cannot speak Rune.

This time, since they were brought directly above the gray fog, communication was naturally not a problem.

But this is good, it saves him from having to do simultaneous interpretation for them.

"I'm just an ordinary apprentice."

Ember shook his head, denying Audrey's excessive modesty.

"I see."

Audrey felt an even greater sense of reverence for Ember.

Judging from his partner's behavior, he must be a scholar; I never expected him to be so humble.

"Perhaps this is what Emperor Russell meant when he said, 'A true master always has the heart of an apprentice'?"

Audrey sighed softly once again.

"Emperor Rosell?"

Yu Jin looked puzzled.

Did Russell say that?

My memory is fragmented, so don't try to fool me.

"You can get Russell's Diary."

Seeing that things were going badly, Klein quickly tapped the table twice to change the subject, saying, "But only if you're willing to pay a good price."

The Fool's tone remained calm and even, revealing nothing unusual.

"What price do I need to pay?"

Ember asked again.

The Fool smiled without answering, turning his gaze to Audrey.

"Hmm~"

Audrey hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I've already exchanged these diaries with Mr. Fool. If Mr. Lover wants them, he can exchange them with Mr. Fool."

After all, she had already given the diary to Mr. Fool, and it was not appropriate for her to trade it with anyone else without his permission.

After saying that, Miss Justice became a little curious. She had exchanged her diary for "knowledge" from Mr. Fool.

If Mr. Lover wants the diary, what should he give up to get it from Mr. Fool?

"The diary does not belong solely to me."

"The Fool" Klein tapped the table and spoke slowly.

In other words, he encouraged Ember to trade the diary for others instead of having it from him.

Firstly.

Regardless of who the embers obtained the diary from, it could only be presented through the Tarot Club and through "The Fool".

This gives him the opportunity to manipulate the content.

Otherwise, what if Ember doesn't want to make a deal with "The Fool" and instead seeks it in reality?

Wouldn't that mean the 'Fool' was sent?

Secondly.

If the embers are only allowed to obtain the diary from this place, it would violate the principle of equivalent exchange and be a bit too domineering.

While being domineering might not be a bad thing for the gods, it's definitely not a good thing for the Tarot community.

"Huh?"

Miss Audrey blinked, understanding the Fool's meaning. After a moment's hesitation, she made a request, "Then, Mr. Lover, do you know about the Psychological Alchemy Society?"

"have no idea."

Yu Jin shook his head slightly.

"have no idea?"

Alger raised an eyebrow slightly, beginning to secretly speculate about Ember's identity.

The Mental Alchemy Society is not a particularly secretive organization. Even if you don't know where the Mental Alchemy Society is or who its members are, you should at least have heard of it.

of course.

This applies to extraordinary individuals, but not necessarily to ordinary people.

Could it be that Ember was just an ordinary person or a weak, wild extraordinary being?

What was the situation with his "invisibility" just now?

Or is he in a similar situation to Miss Justice?

possible.

Asking someone directly what price you need to pay means that you are very confident in your own 'value' and confident that you can afford to pay a sufficient price.

"Eh."

Miss Audrey showed a visible look of disappointment.

"Miss Justice, I don't think you need to rush to find the Psycho-Alchemy Society. Your current focus should be on digesting the audience's potion."

Alger spoke slowly.

"I just hope to have plenty of time to prepare."

Audrey said softly.

"You have plenty of time."

Alger slowly began to speak, "If we don't use the role-playing method, the general principle is to wait at least three years to confirm that there are no signs of mania, auditory hallucinations, or visual hallucinations. Then, we can use a simple method to determine this: push yourself to your limit. If you still don't hear any crazy whispers or see anything strange in this state, then it means you can advance."

"As for using role-playing, I'm sorry, I'm also new to this, so I have no reference to use."

"Three years..."

Audrey puffed out her cheeks; she didn't want to wait that long.

"One month."

Ember calmly stated, "Low-sequence only requires one month."

"A month?"

Audrey looked surprised and then turned to Mr. Fool for confirmation.

"How should I know! Why are you looking at me like that?!"

Klein, the Fool, was on the verge of tears; he hadn't even come into contact with this kind of knowledge yet!

With a determined look, "The Fool" could only nod slightly, tacitly agreeing with Ember's words.

"Please don't you dare trick me!"

Klein's heart was bleeding. Now he could only pray that this Ember was reliable enough and not just making things up.
