Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 159: The Gathering Storm
"The God who can eat the abyss, the snake that Emperor Roselle saw is conservatively estimated to be a true God of the same Sequence 0. As for the God who was eaten, it should be pointing to the dark side of the universe? But doesn't this mean that the dark side of the universe was dead more than a hundred years ago?"

Klein immediately felt a chill. In the Fourth Epoch, the human forces that worshipped demons formed a loose alliance called the Blood Worship Cult. The gods that the Blood Worship Cult believed in were the dark side of the universe that ruled and dominated the abyss. They believed that the dark side of the universe was a destroyer that would inevitably erode and corrupt the entire real world and the entire vast universe!
Within the seven orthodox churches, the dark side of the universe has always been regarded as an evil god on par with the original witch and the true creator. This means that even the seven gods may not know that the dark side of the universe had been eaten more than a hundred years ago!
While shuddering, Klein also had a headache. Because Roselle's diary contained too little description of the two gods, it was impossible to extract much useful information. Klein even suspected that what Emperor Roselle saw at that time might not be a battle between true gods, but angels.

After all, Emperor Roselle had not yet become a demigod at that time. He was at most Sequence 5, so it was possible that he mistook the battle between angels for that between true gods. After all, if it was really a battle between true gods, how did Roselle, a Beyonder who was not even a demigod, escape? I'm afraid the aftermath of the battle alone could kill him directly!
Moreover, with the character of Emperor Roselle, if he really saw the fall of the gods, he would most likely brag about his legendary experience everywhere after leaving, and the death of the dark side of the universe would not have been a secret until now.

"unless……"

Klein's expression changed drastically because he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility.

"Unless Emperor Roselle didn't escape at all, he was released by that snake!"

It is very likely that Emperor Roselle had communicated with that true god-level snake, so he was released, and so he was able to keep the secret afterwards! He was probably restricted by that true god-level snake, and could not reveal everything he saw in the abyss.

If this is the case, then some things can be explained very well. For example, why did Emperor Roselle describe the snake as coming from the sky instead of falling from the sky? After all, flying is not a difficult thing for saints and angels.

With the strength of Emperor Roselle at that time, it was not enough to observe whether the snake was flying from a distance or coming from the sky, not to mention that he was in the abyss at that time! And the source of his detailed description of the snake "coming from the sky" in his diary could only be one possible reason -

That's what the snake said himself!
Emperor Roselle's diary about this experience was probably written after he left the Abyss. In the first half, he wrote about exploring the Abyss, and in the second half, he directly revealed the existence of the snake. This was probably a test to see how much information he could reveal about it.

That's why his handwriting is so illegible, and his fear at the time can be seen between the lines.

"You're really courting death."

The corner of Klein's eyes twitched slightly. Even at this point, you still dare to keep testing the bottom line of a true god. Great Emperor, you are really brave!
Klein put down the diary, thoughts boiling in his mind, but he spoke calmly as if nothing had happened:

"You guys start trading."

"Mr. Lover."

The Hanged Man was the first to speak, "Have you found the formula for the Sea Singer potion?"

Yu Jin nodded slightly and said briefly:

"Yes, 5000 pounds."

"make a deal!"

The Hanged Man answered without hesitation.

序列7的魔药配方只要800镑，但序列6的魔药配方价格不到2000镑。但序列5的魔药配方却已经相当罕见，通常只有各大势力的核心成员才能掌握。因此在市面上，序列5的魔药配方价格在4500镑到7000镑不等。

The price of 5000 pounds was the lowest, and the Hanged Man had no reason to refuse. The only problem was that even if it was only 5000 pounds, it was not a small amount, and Alger did not have that much money on him at the moment.

Because even if he helped Yu Jin sell the corpses of those extraordinary creatures, he only made 2000 gold pounds during this period. His agency fee and commission were 3000 pounds. Even if he had some savings and income from other businesses, the total was only pounds.

In the past, he could only find ways to raise money in a short period of time, but now he has a better choice.

"Miss Justice."

The Hanged Man turned his gaze towards Audrey and said, "I would like to borrow 2000 pounds."

Audrey smiled sweetly and answered easily:
"No problem, but I hope Mr. 'The Hanged Man' can help me get the fruit of the psychedelic wind chime tree as soon as possible."

"it is good."

The Hanged Man readily agreed. The fruit of the Psychedelic Wind Bell Tree was a Sequence 6 Beyonder Material, and the price was just around 2000 pounds. As long as he could obtain the fruit, he could repay Miss Justice's debt, and that was why he dared to lend money.

After the three parties completed the transaction, Klein let the World speak hoarsely:

"It's still the same as before. The extraordinary characteristics of the Puppet Master, or the dust of the ancient vengeful spirit + the core crystal of the six-winged gargoyle."

The Hanged Man spoke without hesitation:

"I don't have these materials, but I have clues about mermaids. A sailor revealed that their fleet sailed eastward from the Gargas Islands for about a week and encountered many mermaids living in groups. They tried to capture one of them and sell it to the local nobles, but they were unsuccessful."

Klein's expression slightly changed. This was similar to Miss Sharon's information, but more detailed.

The World said in a hoarse voice:

"What do you want in return?"

"unnecessary."

The Hanged Man shook his head and said simply, "It's free."

The World looked at him deeply, knowing that the Hanged Man didn't want to be too disconnected from the Tarot Club. After all, other people had revealed some very important information for free, and the Hanged Man didn't want to appear too profit-seeking, so he also needed to reveal some information to others for free from time to time.

What's more, this piece of information itself is not worth much, so it's better to do it as a favor.

"Mr. Lover."

The World turned its gaze towards the ember and said hoarsely:

"I recently discovered an underground ruin, the one with the six statues. There is a high-order evil spirit sealed inside. He may have some conflicts with that organization. I wonder if you are interested?" "Underground ruins?"

Yu Jin showed a thoughtful expression, and after two seconds of silence, he slowly said, "Wait for a while, when I finish the things at hand, I can take some time to explore."

"it is good."

The World nodded slightly. Klein knew what Ember was busy with—assassinating the Black Emperor. After all, Ember had once asked him about his position on the matter, so it was not difficult to guess his purpose. And since the evil spirit had a grudge against the Twilight Hermits, there was no reason for the Twilight Hermits not to keep an eye on him. And if Ember rashly went to explore the underground ruins, it would likely alert the Twilight Hermits.

That would probably trigger a chain reaction, and even make the royal family react in advance, which would be detrimental to Yu Jin's original plan. Because it is already December 12, and there are only three days until the New Year's Eve party! No matter what happens before that, they must stand aside.

"Another underground ruin?"

The Hanged Man had a rather strange expression. He was not afraid of being seen through the gray fog. The World had contacted him two days ago and asked him to help sell a batch of Beyonder materials and Beyonder characteristics, with a total value of about 60,000 gold rank.

The source of this batch of materials is an ancient mausoleum revealed by the World to the Lover. It has only been a short time since the last archaeological excavation, and now the World is looking for Yu Jin to help explore an underground ruin. Are you an archaeological expert?
However, it must be said that archaeology really makes money quickly. The total income from the last mausoleum exceeded 60,000 gold lists. If the underground ruins can be successfully explored this time, the income is estimated to be quite a lot - after all, the value of the Beyonder characteristics of that high-sequence evil spirit alone is at least tens of thousands of gold lists.

Of course, the Hanged Man Alger also knew that these materials that could be exchanged for gold pounds were not important to Yu Jin. He should be more concerned about the ancient history contained in the murals and books in the underground ruins.

As for this part of the information, no one in the entire Tarot Club knows it better than Yu Jin. Well, except for Mr. Fool. For example, the fact that the goddess of harvest Omibella is the mother goddess of the earth is something they can't figure out no matter how hard they try.

However, Alger was still a little confused. The God-Forsaken Land that Yu Jin went to was completely different from the God-Forsaken Land where the Sun was. One side was sunny and the other side was shrouded in darkness. Yu Jin even learned the name of the harvest goddess Omibella, which was something that was not even recorded in the City of Silver.

Thinking back to what Yu Jin said to the Sun, Alger seemed to have grasped something. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, as if he had some completely unbelievable guess.

Mr. Fool's secrecy and Ember's evasiveness made him doubt one thing -

The God-forsaken land that Yu Jin went to and the God-forsaken land where the 'Sun' is located may not be the same place at all?
Klein didn't know what Alger was thinking. He just controlled the 'world' and said in a hoarse voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen. Some news I have received recently indicates that something big is brewing in Backlund. This will bring about extremely unstable factors and perhaps a tragedy."

"What's the big deal?" Justice Audrey asked with concern.

Unconsciously, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she had a premonition that something big was going to happen. But this big thing was obviously not Yu Jin's assassination of George III. After all, few people knew about this matter, and there was no sign - Yu Jin was completely impulsive, and he had not made any preliminary plans. Unless someone could peek into their thoughts, it would be impossible to detect it.

But she also vaguely sensed some changes and omens, and knew that Backlund might have other conspiracies brewing, such as the "missing" Alfred, and the royal family's long-standing shady plans.

This is undoubtedly a very important matter for Audrey, whose family is in Backlund. Only by determining what is going to happen in advance can she better remind and protect her family.

"do not know."

The World shook its head calmly.

"Where will the instability and possible tragedy appear?"

Magician Fors asked nervously.

She also lived in Backlund, and had experienced several major changes in just a few months. If it weren't for the fact that Yu Jin and Xio had reasons to stay in Backlund, she would have probably moved out long ago.

The World pretended to be embarrassed and shook its head.
"The information is contradictory, so I can't give a definite answer."

Having said this, he raised his head and looked sincerely at the figure in the gray fog across the mottled long table:

“Dear Mr. Fool, you should have noticed something too, right?”

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the top of the long bronze table. Some were curious, some were worried, some were expectant, and some were nervous.

Under such scrutiny, Klein the Fool leaned back slightly and said calmly and casually:
"Edsacer Augustus."

He had long known that the royal family was secretly collaborating with secret organizations like the Twilight Hermits. He also knew that the royal family was trying to create a god and let "George III" ascend to the throne. But precisely because he knew this, Klein could not understand the information he had obtained -

Logically speaking, the royal family trying to create a god should keep a low profile as much as possible, avoid making any big noise, and preferably have a smooth transition. Because only by keeping a low profile can the three major churches avoid noticing abnormalities, but the intelligence he recently obtained shows that the royal family seems to be intending to make a big move recently, and Edessac Augustus is at the center of this vortex!
Klein, who had been controlled by 0-08 before, was extremely sensitive to its characteristics. In the manor of Prince Edessak, he felt like he was being controlled by a coincidence. This meant that the royal family was not only in league with the Twilight Hermits, but was even secretly working with Ince Zangwill! This discovery surprised and delighted Klein.

The good news is that he has the opportunity to seek revenge on Ince Zangwill. Even if he cannot defeat Ince Zangwill, who has most likely become a demigod, he can completely notify the three major churches to kill him!

What was surprising was that since the royal family risked being discovered by the Church of Evernight and cooperated with Ince Zangwill, their plot must be very big. But the problem was that with the help of the Twilight Hermits, why did the royal family still need to take the risk of cooperating with Ince Zangwill? Wasn't this a contradiction?
"Prince Edessak?"

Audrey frowned slightly. She had always disliked Prince Edsak, including his two brothers. But now that Alfred was "missing" because of the royal family, Audrey was even more worried. No matter what happened to Edsak, Audrey was afraid that this would involve Alfred.

But these things are obviously not suitable to be discussed with anyone in the Tarot Club, not even Mr. Fool.

After hesitating for a long time, Audrey said carefully:

"Mr. Lover, can we meet at the old place after the Tarot Club is over?"

Yu Jin's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded gently:
"can."

After hearing the conversation between the two, the other members of the Tarot Club looked at each other strangely, especially Fors and Xio, who knew that "Justice" was Audrey.
