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

Chapter 281 I'll Teach You How to Be a Man Under Your Crotch

"Plan? What plan?"

Klein was slightly surprised. He quickly went through the diary he had seen in his mind and sorted out the relevant clues:

In his later years, out of "curiosity," the emperor ventured to outer space, only to be plunged into despair by what he saw there. He stubbornly believed that everything would eventually be destroyed and that everything he had done was meaningless.

What he saw was related to the outer heavens; an unknown being from "outer heavens" would destroy the entire world. Therefore, he no longer trusted anything related to the outer heavens, whether it was Mr. "Door" or Lacad.

At the same time, he also distrusts the Seven Gods, but this distrust is different from that of Mr. "Door".

The Emperor held no hope for Mr. "Door" and Lacad, who were connected to the outer world.

As for the Seven Gods, the Emperor felt that they should not place too much hope in them.

In other words, the Emperor believed that the Seven Gods were on his side in this matter, but that they lacked the power to resolve the impending world-destroying crisis he had foreseen.

The fourth page of the diary indicates that the Emperor has reached a cooperation agreement with the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, who is willing to provide the Emperor with some assistance within his power.

Since there was no date, Klein could not determine whether this event occurred before or after the Emperor went to the 'Outer Heavens'.

In the past, the importance of this plan would have been greatly reduced.

If it happened later, it means that the emperor had not given up hope and was still struggling to survive.

But his idea must have been crazy, otherwise only the god of knowledge and wisdom would have agreed to cooperate with him.

This is not surprising; Emperor Roselle at that time was already corrupted, and madness was inevitable.

Furthermore, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the "Eternal Flame" sect, which is worshipped by the Republic of Indis, are mortal enemies. As the leader of the Republic of Indis, how could Emperor Roselle cooperate with the enemy of the Eternal Flame? If word got out, where would the reputation of the Eternal Flame be?

Klein thought for a moment and turned to page five.

"I've done everything I was supposed to do, but I don't know if it will all work out."

"We may be saved, or we may just be drinking poison to quench our thirst."

"But in any case, at least I tried."

"Now, I should make one last attempt, before I completely go mad."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Klein wasted no time. He made the few pages of the diary disappear, then smiled and looked at the 'Hermit' Cattleya, saying:

"Have you thought about your request?"

Cattleya, as if prepared, bowed and began to speak:

"I want to know why Emperor Roselle went mad in his later years."

"The Fool" Klein had anticipated this, and chuckled lightly, saying:

"As I said, I am neither omniscient nor omnipotent."

"I also want to know what happened to Russell in his later years, but what is certain at present is that Russell was contaminated due to some unknown stimulus or influence. In order to get rid of this contamination, he turned his attention to Sequence 0."

Klein didn't reveal any information related to "the outer world," firstly because he wasn't aware of many details, and secondly because Cattleya hadn't asked, and as "The Fool," he naturally wouldn't offer her an explanation.

Klein didn't say anything more, leaned back in his chair, looked around, and said:

"You may begin."

Having said that, he manipulated the 'World' to look at the 'Sun' Derrick, and chuckled in a low voice:

"I have the 'Notary' potion recipe you requested."

"Thank you, Mr. World. As agreed, I will note this debt and await your request."

"The Sun," Derrick said sincerely.

He made 'World' Gehrman Sparrow nod and asked:

"Do you have any sorcery or evil spirits where you live?"

The author paused for a moment, then added:

"Perhaps you call it by another name, but in any case, it excels at disguise, possesses bizarre abilities, is nearly demigod-level, and has a single dominant eye that embodies a multitude of unique characteristics..."

He deliberately pointed out that it was almost at the demigod level, not to show off, but to remind Little 'Sun' that it was a very dangerous monster.

The Hermit, Cattleya, glanced at the World with slight surprise. After all, the other party had only recently advanced to Sequence 5, and right in front of her. Yet, only a week had passed, and he had already begun collecting materials for the demigod level.

This means he has likely obtained a Sequence 4 potion recipe!

"The Sun," Derrick thought for a moment and said:

"It's not among the common monsters, but perhaps someone has encountered it. I'll look up the information or ask around for you."

The World hummed in agreement, then made a pretentious request to Mr. Fool to materialize it.

Before long, the potion recipe reached Little Sun's hands.

Derrick happily accepted it and quickly scanned the contents of the parchment as if he were starving and thirsty:

"Sequence 6, Notary Public."

Main ingredients: 1 portion of Elder Tree root crystal, 5 tail feathers of the Spirit Bird.

Additional materials: 100 ml of Radiant Spirit Tree sap, one golden-edged sunflower, one white-edged sunflower, and 5 drops of water fern sap.

Seeing that the two had completed the transaction, 'Moon' couldn't wait to ask:

"Mr. 'Lover,' I have £8000 ready. When can we make the deal?"

Just last week, he finally succeeded in defeating the Gudako-sensei.

As the first vampire to clear Gundyr, he successfully applied for a reward of 10,000 gold pounds from Duke Olmer. Although he really wanted to use that money to buy a doll, he managed to resist the urge to spend it, using only 2,000 pounds and saving the remaining 8000 pounds for this moment!

Ember was not surprised and said:

"Anytime is fine. I will offer a sacrifice to Mr. 'Fool' after this meeting ends."

"good!"

Emlyn, the "Moon," breathed a sigh of relief. It was worth it; he had spent the entire previous week thinking about how to beat up Gudako-sensei, even while eating.

"My request is the same as last time."

The Hermit, Cattleya, carefully considered her words before speaking:

"I need a drop of pure mythical creature blood, that is, the blood of an angel, but it cannot be from the 'Secret Seeker' pathway."

Audrey, feeling a little strange, thought to herself:

"Can't it be done through the 'peeping Tom' method? Are there any restrictions?"

"No wonder the mysterious queen didn't offer her her own blood; after all, she also came through the 'Secret Seeker' pathway."

"I have some leads, but I'm not sure I can get them, and I'll have to wait at least three months."

Klein manipulates the 'world' to respond.

The other members of the Tarot Club fell silent. It wasn't surprising that "The Lovers" could do this, but they hadn't expected that even "The World" had clues!

To obtain the blood of an angel, one must at least know an angel.

Moreover, you must have a very close relationship with this angel, otherwise why would the angel give you blood for no reason?

"The Moon," Emlyn hesitated before asking:

"I can give it a try. If I can maintain my leading position in the upcoming dream explorations, I can apply to Duke Olmer for a new reward."

Duke Olmer is also an angel, so obtaining a drop of his blood is not entirely impossible.

"Justice," Audrey thought for a moment, and echoed her sentiments:

"I can ask around for you, but I can't guarantee I'll get a result."

Carula is also an angel, but the other party may not be willing to offer help.

After all, for an angel, the Hermit Lady clearly did not offer a reward sufficient to impress her.

The Hanged Man grew increasingly silent; he had absolutely no say in the matter.

But he suddenly realized that things were different now, and the Tarot Club was not as good as it used to be.

Mr. Fool is gradually recovering, and the Tarot Club is also growing stronger.

The original Tarot Club had only two members.

One was him, who was only Sequence 8 at the time, and the other was "Justice," who wasn't even an Extraordinary at the time.

Now, most members of the Tarot Club are Sequence 6, and many have even embarked on the path to becoming 'demigods'.

The Hermit, Justice, and the World—all three of them are already Sequence 5 Extraordinary Beings.

"The Moon" has made a deal with "The Lover". Having defeated Gundyr, he no longer needs to worry about digesting the potion. Perhaps tonight he will become a Sequence 5 Beyonder.

Of the remaining three—'Sun,' 'Magician,' and 'Judgment'—two women have powerful backers, so their advancement is only a matter of time.

The Hanged Man looked around and sadly discovered that the only thing he could possibly defeat was the Sun.

This stirred up a strong sense of resentment within him!

No! Absolutely not!

Alger, the "Hanged Man," paused for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and turned to look at the head of the bronze table, saying:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I request to speak with 'The World' and 'The Lover' alone."

Klein was somewhat surprised, and then blocked the senses of the others.

Alger waited two seconds, then looked at Ember and asked:

"Mr. 'Lover,' have you had time to explore that island lately?"

"no."

A knowing glint flashed in Yu Jin's eyes, and he spoke first:

"If you're planning to explore that island soon, you can ask others for help."

Upon hearing this, "The Hanged Man" breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at "The World," Gehrman Sparrow, saying:

"I possess the coordinates of a primitive island unknown to others. It not only contains many extraordinary creatures that have become extinct on the northern and southern continents, but also hides an ancient ruin whose exact age is unknown."

"This island was discovered by Zilingus and me... At that time, we were not capable of exploring it in depth, but he found some traces and suspected that something very precious and important was hidden in the ruins, believing that its value was no less than one of the decks of cards made by Emperor Roselle."

"My strength is not as good as Qilingus's, nor is my depth of knowledge as great. I have no way of knowing what he saw. I can only guess the situation from some of the things he said unintentionally."

"But one thing is certain: there are traces of demigod-level extraordinary beings on it."

"I previously explored the island briefly with Mr. 'Lover,' and I plan to explore it again soon."

"You should still be at sea, so I'd like to invite you to join me on an exploration."

"The reward is the coordinates of this island, and the extraordinary materials obtained during the exploration."

A primitive island?

Such an island is indeed of great value; for a clandestine organization, it is the cornerstone that supports the growth of its members… Klein manipulated the 'World' to adopt a contemplative posture, attempting to obtain more information from the 'Hanged Man'.

Ember once "drifted" in the Sunia Sea and had contact with the "Hanged Man".

Perhaps it was on that occasion that both sides explored the island.

The "Hanged Man" at the time probably used similar rhetoric, inviting Ember's help with the island's coordinates.

And now, he is also using the island's coordinates to invite himself.

Hmm, wouldn't you say this counts as cooking the fish two ways?

However, this is actually quite normal, since island coordinates can be sold multiple times anyway.

Moreover, the Hanged Man specifically brought in Ember and even inquired about his attitude beforehand, clearly indicating that he had some reservations.

As for the island itself, the extraordinary demigod-level creatures that inhabit it are indeed of considerable value to Klein.

He had just obtained the sorcerer's potion recipe, which required the sorcerer's main eye and the true soul of the spirit raider.

Both of these beings are close to demigods and are extremely rare; few people have even heard of them.

Even with Klein's extensive knowledge, he had only seen a few words about the former in an old notebook. As for the latter, he had never heard of it either.

But since it contains the words "spirit world," it is very likely that it refers to beings from the spirit world.

The former has already sought help from Little 'Sun', and the latter can also turn to Mr. Azik, since Mr. Azik is an expert in the spirit world. But even so, it doesn't mean that Klein can simply sit back and reap the benefits.

What if Little Sun has no leads, or Mr. Azik can't provide any help?

So Klein still had to figure out a solution himself.

Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well try my luck on that island.

Besides, isn't there a historical site on the island?

We might as well explore along the way.

"I'm fine."

The voice of "World" was hoarse: "I'm in Bayam now. When do you need to explore?"

"Bayam?"

Alger, the "Hanged Man," paused for a moment, then quickly said:

"I'm also in Bayam, and I can leave anytime. My advice is to go as soon as possible."

"it is good."

The World nodded slightly and said nothing more.

And the Fool removed the shield from others, thus completing the deal.

The remaining details can be discussed in more detail when we meet.

"Everyone."

"Justice," Audrey raised her hand and asked, "..."

"Does anyone know how to deal with 'Bordeaux of the Irithyll of the Boreal Valley'?"

Klein was slightly surprised. They've already defeated the Ice Dog? Miss Justice is making pretty fast progress!

That makes sense, after all, Miss Justice is at least Sequence 5, so her progress shouldn't be slower than Moon's.

Klein raised an eyebrow, preparing to tell Miss 'Justice' without hesitation—

Hitting the ice dog is very simple, just sit between its legs.

In the game, the only trick to defeating Ice Dog is to crawl between its legs.

Don't tell me that Ice Dog is weak to Darkness or that Ice Dog is weak to the crotch!

Klein was initially a little apprehensive, thinking that dreams were not games after all, and Ice Dog was not stupid.

If he tries to crawl between someone's legs, he might get crushed to death by the ice dog.

However.

The 240,000 souls that entered the tent told Klein that being between someone's legs was useful.
