Chereads / Lord of Mysteries: Starting As A Reader / Chapter 283 - Klein's Scheme

Chapter 283 - Klein's Scheme

"16th December. I contacted the pathetic fellow who was trapped in the storm and lost in the darkness.

He called himself Mr. Door… He wanted me to help him return to the real world… He promised to satisfy three of my requests…

"…Some of the history of the Fourth Epoch that he described is really interesting."

Mr. Door… This naming style is very similar to mine… I wonder what the real name of this pathetic fellow who's lost and trapped in the darkness amidst the storm is. What's his Sequence…

After secretly laughing in a self-deprecating manner, Klein seriously read the rest of the content. After all, as a history student, he was also very interested in the Fourth Epoch.

The so-called War of the Four Emperors is Solomon's Black Emperor, the half-crazy Blood Emperor of the Tudor Dynasty, the Night Emperor of the Trunsoest Empire, and the Emperor of the Underworld of the Southern Continent, also known as Death's War?

If this is true, it will really overturn most of the current research on the Fourth Epoch in the history world!

The Emperor of the Underworld reaped the greatest benefits during the War of the Four Emperors? Does this mean that "He" used these benefits to advance to Death? Yes, but "He" went mad…

Even a deity can go mad. How terrifying. Just thinking about the details makes me tremble from the bottom of my heart! It's no wonder the knowledgeable Emperor Roselle would use horror to describe this matter…

Could it be that the so-called evil gods are the crazy orthodox gods? Then, would there be a day when only the evil gods are left in the world… Man, does this mean that an irreversible apocalypse is coming?

That's a lot of information!

Klein couldn't help but sigh inwardly… At the same time, he raised his evaluation of the Black Emperor, Blood Emperor, and Night Emperor, believing that they were top experts close to the deities.

Perhaps the names such as Black Emperor and Blood Emperor are the corresponding pathway's potion names? Sequence 1? Hmm, in that case, having the Black Emperor live for centuries or even millennia isn't something unacceptable. I always imagined that the Black Emperor was the common title of every emperor of the Solomon Empire… Heh heh, from the looks of it, perhaps no one has changed… The Fourth Epoch really lives up to its name of the Epoch of the Gods!

With this in mind, Klein picked up the second page. The contents of this page were connected to the first page, still talking to Emperor Roselle and Mr. Door.

And here, Mr. Door mentioned two laws, which were the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Indestructibility and the Law of Similar Sequence Beyonder Characteristics Conservation. The total number of Beyonder characteristics was fixed at the source without any increase or decrease.

The Law of Beyonder Characteristics Indestructibility and the Law of Similar Sequence Beyonder Characteristics Conservation? Yes, Mr. Tower once mentioned the former at the Tarot Club, and the latter is even more interesting… The so-called Similar Sequence pathway? Is it one of the pathways in the category that Mr. Tower concluded last time?

For example, the "omnipotent and omniscient five pathways," and "knowledge two pathways," as well as Roselle's example of how the three Dark battles can be interchanged…

Similar Sequences not only have conservation of total characteristics but they can also be interchanged… This further verifies the accuracy of the pathway's scope that Mr. Tower concluded.

There must be a huge secret behind this!

Many thoughts flashed through Klein's mind as he felt that he had delved deeper into the realm of mysticism in the Beyonder world.

He quickly flipped through the last four pages and was disappointed when he realized that it was no longer related to Mr. Door.

His Clown powers allowed him to conceal his emotions very well. With the gray fog's obstruction, even Miss Justice Audrey, who was secretly observing him, didn't notice anything amiss.

Reining in his chaotic thoughts, Klein read the third diary page.

This page was filled with Roselle's grumblings. He grumbled about how the Savant pathway lacked combat-related Beyonder powers from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6 and could only create and use items. He grumbled about how the modern name of Sequence 5 was Astronomer, and how a second-grader could become an all-rounded mad scientist.

At the same time, he enviously thought of another relatively complete pathway of the Church of Craftsmanship—the Warlock and Scroll Professor of the Mystery Pryer pathway. He only despised the existence of the Hidden Sage.

The Emperor sure has a strange talent for being funny… Upon seeing this, the recently depressed Klein couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He wanted to light a candle for this senior.

But in the end, he only sighed, turned to the third page of the diary, and continued his search.

The last three pages were filled with a straightforward account of the famous incident in Intis in 1173. At the last Tarot Gathering, Klein had already felt a similar atmosphere in the diary of Roselle's establishment of the Black Suits, as well as the discovery that the culprit behind the matter was a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact of the Sauron family. Therefore, he didn't have much to reflect on.

However, the last part of the diary wrote:

"…The Secret Order's Zaratul secretly visited me very suddenly."

"…I have to send someone to investigate the Secret Order and grasp more information. I can't repeat my passiveness from before. I can't let Zaratul lead me by the nose again." Then, he came to an abrupt halt.

This made Klein have no choice but to feel an uncontrollable sense of frustration… as well as anger towards the chapters he had lost.

So, did you find anything, Comrade Roselle? Klein couldn't find the rest of the information, so he could only force himself to calm down and wait for the next gathering when The Hanged Man would hand over the other six pages.

Taking a deep breath, Klein composed himself and picked up the three pages from the "Tower."

He didn't have much hope. After all, although the frequency at which the diary pages were handed in was very high, the quality was fluctuating. He was always in a state of mind… even though he knew that this was normal…

However, to Klein's surprise, the three pages that "Tower" handed in were continuous, and they almost told a complete story!

Yes, this is the emperor's expedition in Loen… Heh heh, Backlund's air was actually very good back then? It's really ironic compared to now!

So it turns out that the Church of Evernight placed great importance on hygiene before Roselle… That's not surprising. The Goddess likes moon flowers, night vanilla, and slumber flowers so much. She must be a deity who has a high requirement for her living environment.

The spread of railways should actually be a result of Loen's terrible road conditions? That's ridiculous…

Even the concept of distance can be "Disordered"… Which pathway's power is this?

I have a nagging feeling that the Emperor's expedition was arranged by someone…

Klein lampooned as he read, but he turned serious at the end.

He suddenly recalled a piece of evidence that the descendant of Death had given him after he passed on the information to Mr. Azik. "Before the 'secret mission' mentioned in the information, that little kid, Kilgor, had once explored another ruin with a member of the Augustus family named Grue…"

Hence, Klein couldn't help but have a guess. Could that treasure be a high-level item from the Solomon Empire which the Loen royal family was conspiring to obtain?

In the end, it was still obtained by Roselle? That's why the Kilgor family's stable aristocratic title was stripped away because of some mistakes?

And the diary just mentioned that the Emperor of the Solomon Empire had always been the Black Emperor…

Could it be that Mr. Tower wasn't wrong? Roselle had really jumped into this pathway?

This… This doesn't seem to be a neighboring building, right? Has he gone mad? Half mad? Is this the truth behind his assassination in the White Maple Palace?

Closing his eyes, Klein stopped his thoughts from wandering. He swept his gaze across the Tarot Club members, and his gaze finally landed on the "Tower." He then recalled the diary he had just read, and an idea gradually came to him.

Therefore, he rapped the edge of the ancient bronze table and said with a deep and calm smile,

"Roselle mentioned some hidden history in his diary and mentioned some simple general knowledge. The latter reminded me of something I never told you."

Audrey's mind suddenly turned adrift as she turned her body and looked at the seat of honor at the ancient table in pleasant surprise.

Mr. Fool took the initiative to mention the contents of Roselle's diary again? What would it record? Would he be teaching Roselle some words this time? She was so excited that she completely forgot that she was a Spectator.

Compared to her, Alger was much more composed, but his subconscious straightening of his back ruthlessly betrayed him.

Derrick didn't know who Emperor Roselle was, nor did he know what this name represented in the Northern Continent. Therefore, he couldn't hide his curiosity and didn't show any abnormalities.

As for Judgment Xio, she tried her best to maintain her persona as a noble lady. She looked more like a Spectator than Audrey. It was impossible to tell that she had the fierce title of "invisible horror."

Only Ebner was relatively calm. He guessed what Mr. Fool was planning to share. However, he was also a little puzzled. This was because he had already thrown out the concept of "pathway's scope." Even if Klein still mentioned the concept of a neighboring Sequence, it was impossible for him to attract Justice and The Hanged Man to "bid" to hear the subsequent knowledge.

After all, as long as it wasn't a curly-haired baboon, they would definitely be able to figure out the meaning of a neighboring Sequence from its scope…

Wait, could Klein be after me?

Was he trying to start a conversation so that he could sit back and wait for Miss Justice or The Sun to ask questions about my Sequence knowledge for free?

If that's the case, should I cooperate or not?
