Chapter 150: Didn't Emperor Roselle Say That?
"Didn't Emperor Roselle say that?" Alice asked in confusion.
Alger's heart tightened.
As expected, those symbols were not originally created by Emperor Roselle but were from some long-lost language...
Behind this language, there seemed to be a real civilization. Was Miss "Destiny" searching for traces related to that civilization?
That civilization was related to chopsticks and the Western Continent... But what was Emperor Roselle's connection to that civilization?
Could it be... that like Mr. Fool and Miss "Destiny," he also suddenly woke up many years later?
However, such beings who could wake up like them must be extremely rare, probably only a few, and...
Although Emperor Roselle was ultimately assassinated and people's evaluations of him were mixed, it must be said that his life was indeed legendary.
Alger seriously considered the feasibility of understanding that civilization by studying Roselle's works.
The question "What does this have to do with Emperor Roselle?" echoed in Audrey and Fors' hearts as well, but neither of them voiced it. They just shook their heads.
Alice, resting her chin on her hand, thoughtfully replied, "This is a fairy tale. The protagonist of the story one day obtained a magical brush that could turn whatever was drawn into reality."
"Wow," Audrey exclaimed in amazement, "but I've never heard of such a fairy tale..."
"Me neither," Fors, a bestselling novelist, sat up straight. "Miss 'Destiny,' can you tell us more about this story?"
"...I'm worried that a demigod might come looking for you," Alice sincerely suggested.
"Huh?" Fors looked confused.
"A demigod is currently in Backlund searching for everything related to Mr. Fool... Can you guess what her clue is?" Alice asked mysteriously.
"This story?" Fors guessed.
"To be precise, it's part of some stories... But unfortunately, I don't know which parts," Alice shrugged.
Fors regretfully restrained herself but also realized that the demigod searching for Mr. Fool was being tested by him.
Was that demigod related to that civilization? But it didn't seem to be a direct connection, maybe just knowing someone...
Alger recalled Emperor Roselle, who Alice had repeatedly mentioned.
"So, have you heard of this pathway?" Alice scanned the others.
Derrick tentatively raised his hand and answered:
"Miss 'Destiny,' in the records of Silver City, the abilities of 'Dragon King' Angerwade are somewhat like what you described as 'Writer.'
In the records, he is also called the 'Dragon of Imagination.' It is said that whatever the 'Dragon of Imagination' envisions will become reality, and whatever future he declares will come to pass."
"'Dragon of Imagination'..." Alice repeated thoughtfully, frowning as she glanced at Audrey, "If I remember correctly, dragons are part of the 'Audience' pathway, right?"
Audrey nodded in agreement.
"From subtle guidance to forced guidance, you really have it," Alice commented, "But you need to be careful, Miss 'Justice.'"
"Why?" Audrey asked in confusion.
Alice blinked and said:
"Two reasons. One, the leader of that... organization seems to be a 'Writer.'
"Two, high-sequence individuals of the same pathway can influence lower-sequence ones. Miss 'Justice,' I don't want to see you become an obsessive maniac."
"Obsessive maniac?" Audrey frowned uncomfortably.
"I don't know, Amon said so," Alice spread her hands and leaned back in her chair.
Audrey, who wanted to gather more information, had to give up, silently hoping that Miss "Destiny" would accidentally reveal something important or interesting next time.
"Why didn't Miss 'Destiny' accidentally say the organization's name just now? No, saying it out loud wouldn't be a good thing. Maybe I would accidentally think of that organization's name in the real world..."
"That organization?" Alger asked in confusion.
Alice blinked, looked at Audrey, who already knew part of the information, and thought for a moment before answering:
"Mr. Fool is investigating an ancient secret organization.
"Most Beyonders don't know of its existence. Its members are said to include big figures from various fields. Perhaps some high-ranking members of various churches and national militaries are among them.
"Their aim is to resurrect or awaken the true Creator.
"They secretly interfere with the progress of history, making the tides of the times align with their plans.
"This organization and its leader share a common trait.
"Whatever is spoken, will be known."
This introduction was much more detailed than what Audrey knew. As a noble, she immediately noticed a key issue—the country's high-ranking officials might have been infiltrated!
The thought of the country's leadership possibly being infiltrated by a secret organization guiding national decisions in the shadows sent chills down Audrey's spine.
Alger felt the same.
After seriously considering the conduct of the Storm Lord's church's high-ranking officials, he began to doubt whether they could do what Alice described.
To prevent himself from thinking further, Alger asked, "Do you know what kind of era this organization needs?"
"Probably a world war," Alice answered consistently, "After all, after the industrial revolution, it should be a world war..."
"Why should there be a world war after the industrial revolution?" Alger frowned, realizing things were not simple.
Alice looked at Alger for a few seconds, resting her chin on her hand, and answered, "...Guess?"
This very personal response made it hard for Alger to maintain his calm expression, and his mouth twitched twice.
Alice pondered his expression for a moment before asking, "Or do you actually want to hear... 'This is not for you to ask'?"
"...Thank you, I understand what you mean." Alger replied with mixed feelings.
Alice shrugged and lay back on the table.
Fors... Fors was accumulating novel material.
If she could write that organization as the antagonist in her novel, it would definitely be a classic... And Miss "Destiny," Miss "Destiny's" personality really suited being an antagonist... acting entirely based on mood.
Fors' professional spirit as a bestselling novelist was stirring.
As for Derrick... Miss "Destiny" didn't intend to reveal the organization's name, so what did it matter to him? He sat silently, as if in class.
