"With the support of the Savant potion and the Mystery Pryer potion, the literacy course should end quickly. After that, I can start teaching them more formal occult knowledge..."
Lynn thought, multitasking as he controlled several smurf accounts while his gaze fell on the stack of general textbooks from Silver City on the table.
Indeed, while Lynn's fourth epoch smurf account was happily tormenting Amon, and his second epoch smurf account was officially becoming a teacher, his fifth epoch main account wasn't just idling.
First, Lynn visited several schools during this time, finally meeting all the teachers he planned to visit. However, Lynn was somewhat disappointed that Klein's halo of trouble didn't come into play during these trips, as everything went smoothly without any unexpected events.
Secondly, just now, Lynn experienced his second Tarot meeting. As usual, nothing significant happened during this meeting.
Aside from successfully trading with Little Sun for a list of monsters around Silver City and the city's general textbooks, the only noteworthy event was the content of Roselle's diary that Mr. Fool read this time.
If Lynn guessed correctly, Mr. Fool should have read the diary related to Emperor Roselle's youngest son, Bornova. The diary also introduced his favorite daughter, Bernadette, and his most unfortunate eldest son, Ciel.
Then, there was some introduction about the Sauron family and certain early days of Roselle's governance as the consul of the Intis Republic.
Following that, there was information about the Twilight Hermit Order, commonly known as the Twilight Otaku Group or the Twilight Hermit Senior Activity Center.
Whoever came up with the name "Twilight Hermit Senior Activity Center" was a genius, Lynn thought, unable to suppress a laugh.
You really can't blame him; after all, the terms 'Twilight Otaku Group' and 'Twilight Hermit Senior Activity Center' are hard not to laugh at. It makes Amon's Brother terrifying ancient coin instantly seem like an old man holding a teacup, playing chess and chatting with a group of old friends under the sunset.
"In a way, it makes sense since most of them are quite old..." Lynn stroked his chin and nodded in agreement, then thought of another matter.
If he remembered correctly, this time Roselle's diary included the part about the Black Emperor card, right?
Thinking of this, Lynn squinted his eyes.
To be honest, he was quite interested in the Black Emperor card, not because of the formula for the Black Emperor pathway. Lynn didn't lack this formula; if he really wanted it, he could just ask Sasrir, his guardian, who was quite generous in this aspect.
Lynn mainly wanted another sample to study the Cards of Blasphemy for replication. He had obtained the Red Priest card for some time and had made some progress in his research.
But Roselle, being the Knowledge Emperor of Sequence 1 in the Mystery Pryer pathway, had created the Cards of Blasphemy. So, while Lynn had discovered some things, he still lacked sufficient information samples.
And although the Black Emperor card wasn't specifically highlighted as a "special card" in the original Novel like the Mother card, having an extra sample was always good.
Of course, this didn't mean Lynn planned to compete with Klein for the card.
After all, Lynn had no significant use for the card; it was purely for research purposes. Keeping it with Klein seemed better—Lynn was looking forward to seeing the various clever tricks Klein would perform with the Black Emperor.
Not to mention, Miracle Klein and the paper angel from the Black Emperor card were quite interesting.
To Lynn, this was more enjoyable than letting the card gather dust with him.
Actually, Lynn's real plan was to exchange the Red Priest card with Klein after he got the Black Emperor card, study it thoroughly, and then exchange it back.
This way, both he and Klein would gain something valuable.
As for the nominal owner of the Red Priest card being Medici... that didn't matter!
Lynn believed Little Red wouldn't mind such a thing.
"Speaking of the Black Emperor card, the Queen Mystic, Bernadette, seems to appear in this event. Should I try to bluff her? Maybe tell her I'm an old friend of her father... Hmm, though not now, who knows what the future holds," Lynn thought, his expression eager.
He was quite interested in bluffing Bernie Huang, or rather, in reading Roselle's diary to Bernadette.
Lynn thought it would be very interesting.
After all, once the great transmigrators of the Cosmos disseminate Roselle's diaries, the black history will spread eventually. In that case, why not let Bernie Huang know her father's dark secrets early?
And in the future, if Lynn ever had the chance to drop a smurf account in Roselle's time, he would definitely kindly inform Roselle of this.
After such "frank encounters," the father-daughter relationship would surely become more "harmonious"...
Lynn couldn't help but laugh at this thought:
"So, this tells us that keeping a diary is fine, but never write your black history in it, or you'll face social death."
Like him, Lynn would never write his black history in his diary, only noting down others'.
This way, even if his diary were to spread someday, it would be others facing social death, not him.
"But now there's still some time before the Roselle exhibition with the Black Emperor card. Before that, the salted fish seems to be joining the Tarot Club first. Once she's in, I can naturally start investigating the Abraham family," Lynn thought, his gaze drifting to the opposite house at 15 Minsk Street.
"Klein is about to be promoted to Sequence 7 too..." Lynn's expression turned slightly complex at the thought, "Speaking of which, due to my butterfly effect, Klein hasn't met Sharon and the others until now."
"Should I guide it a bit? Otherwise, it feels like a waste, especially since there's more to the messenger girl storyline..." Lynn recalled something, a dangerous smile forming, "And I almost forgot, Sharon's storyline represents the Rose School of Thought!"
Everyone knows, Little Bubble is a vengeful person.
And Bitch Tree, being an Outer Deity that forced Lynn to use excessive power and nearly got him killed, had long been blacklisted by Lynn.
In this case, Lynn was more than happy to strike at the Rose School of Thought, Bitch Tree's subordinates.
After all, Lynn didn't think Bitch Tree wouldn't hold a grudge for being beaten.
Therefore, it's better to act first.
"Black Emperor card, Bernie Huang, salted fish and the Abraham family, Rose School of Thought... Tsk, looks like my main account has a lot to do in the future! Indeed, I've been infected by the Sasrir virus..."
Lynn calculated, dramatically gasping, before taking out 0-08 and beginning to plan the next script.
