Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 224 The hidden truth

"medium……"

Klein's expression changed slightly, as if he remembered something.

Divination requires a medium at all times, especially when the 'protagonist' is not around.

The closer the connection between the medium and the object of divination, the more detailed and accurate the divination content will be. The sacrificial ring that Yu Jin gave to Miss Justice was undoubtedly one of the mediums that was closely connected to him. Klein had previously used this medium to lock onto Yu Jin's whereabouts through divination, thereby confirming that he had returned to the past.

So this time, Klein also thought of this medium first.

But he soon remembered that the Sacrifice Ring was not the only medium—

Before he went out to sea himself, Embers had given him other mediums.

A sacrificial twig and an ember.

The sacrificial twig may not be a more suitable medium than the sacrificial ring, but the ember is certainly a more suitable medium than both!

Klein looked somewhat doubtful, and muttered to himself:
"The sacrifice of the twig was the reward for asking me to pass on a message to Vice Admiral Iceberg, but the ember was given to me by Ember, who asked me to pass it on to The Fool. This was also a commission, but there was no reward and no specific requirements."

“In other words, the ember is both a reward and a requirement for the commission. It is handed over to the Fool in the hope that the Fool will do something with the ember, and the reward is the ember itself.”

"In essence, the value of the ember is even higher than the sacrificial twig and the sacrificial ring. There is no doubt that it is a reward. But what exactly does the ember want the Fool to achieve through this ember?"

“He only asked me to pass it on to The Fool, but didn’t explain why. Could it be that he thought The Fool could guess it?”

Klein's eyes twitched. "Then you might have trusted the wrong person... After all, he really doesn't understand!"

“How can I understand if you don’t tell me?” Klein suddenly felt a headache. He had no idea what was happening.

In addition to using the ember for divination, he didn't know what else he could do with it, and before that...

Klein glanced at the little 'Sun' who was looking at him eagerly from the right. He was now forced to give 'Sun' an accurate answer.

Klein the Fool thought for a moment, chuckled, and said:

“First, let’s establish a fact.

“I am not omniscient, nor am I omnipotent.”

He said this in a self-deprecating tone, but the people in the Tarot Club did not react abnormally at all. Some even behaved a little more respectfully.

To them, it was obvious that Mr. Fool was neither omniscient nor omnipotent. Even without mentioning their own speculations about Mr. Fool's status, the fact that there was no similar description in the name of this hidden being was enough to illustrate this problem.

Moreover, none of the true gods or evil gods currently have a title that is omniscient and almighty...

After setting the tone subtly, Klein slowly spoke:

"I have some guesses about where 'Lover' is now, but it will take time to verify."

He knew that Yu Jin was definitely not in the present time and space, and most likely he had returned to the past. But he had no idea how many years ago it was. Divination could probably give him a more accurate answer, but he couldn't do it in front of other people, so he had to wait until the Tarot Club was over.

The Sun was obviously disappointed with Mr. Fool's answer and lowered his head in frustration.

As for his thoughts, the Tarot Club, except for the newly joined Hermit, could more or less guess:
The Silver City where the 'Sun' is located is in the God-forsaken Land, isolated from the world, and has not been able to find any way to leave the God-forsaken Land for thousands of years. But if he can successfully find his 'lover', perhaps there will be a chance for the residents of the Silver City to leave with his 'lover'!

But unfortunately, the words of The Fool undoubtedly shattered the hopes of The Sun once again.

The Hermit Cattleya lowered her eyes slightly to hide the shock in her eyes:

From the question of the Sun and the attitudes of others, it is not difficult to judge that this Mr. Sun came from the God-forsaken Land that Emperor Roselle had been searching for! Can Mr. Fool connect there? No, maybe, He woke up from there! Cattleya, the Hermit, thought in shock and solemnity.

The Tarot Club was obviously more complicated than she had imagined. Its members were not only related to the Church of Storms, the Church of Mother Earth, and the Loen aristocracy, but also to the legendary God-forsaken Land.

Besides that, there is Mr. Lover. Although I have never met him, it is not difficult to tell from the attitudes of other members of the Tarot Club that his standard and level may be the highest in the Tarot Club except Mr. Fool!

As for the sequences of the others, we have insufficient information and cannot make a judgment yet, but it should be quite high...

Just as the Hermit had made some guesses, he saw Miss Justice nod thoughtfully, and then turned to the top of the bronze table again:

“Mr. Fool, I was out of town and only collected one page of Roselle’s diary.”

“Mr. Fool, I got three pages.” Magician Fors said with a smile.

The Hanged Man remained silent, and the diary session of the Tarot Club had almost become a one-man show for these two ladies.

Roselle's diary... diary?
Cattleya almost couldn't control her expression, because she clearly remembered the person who once said:
"That's not a note, it's his diary, but no one else can understand it except him."

Cattleya took a deep breath, remained calm on the surface, and just turned her head to observe the first "transaction" normally. Because she deeply understood that as a new member of the Tarot Club, she only had to do one thing - listen more and talk less!
Derrick the Sun followed closely and said:
"Mr. Fool, I have copied down new legends of the ancient gods."

Tsk, he always uses the legend of the ancient gods to perfunctorily deal with it... Emlyn the Moon glanced at the Sun with disdain, then stood up and said respectfully:
"Mr. Fool, I also copied down a section of the vampire history."

Justice looked at Emlyn in surprise, and the Hanged Man also had a subtle expression.

What are you looking at? You must be jealous of me! After all, human history is not as detailed as that recorded by the vampires. You should know that there are still many strong people who survived before the catastrophe in the vampires. They are all witnesses of the past history...

Emlyn instinctively shrank his head, but soon sat up straight again and said arrogantly:

"If you want to see it, I can give you a copy."

"Thank you." The Hanged Man nodded slightly and thanked him casually.

He would not let go of this opportunity to get something for free.

Emlyn White didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, he had always wanted to show off the glorious history of the vampire clan to outsiders, but he never had the chance.

Klein the Fool laughed in silence and casually copied a few copies of the vampire history provided by Emlyn and circulated them to other members... This was also good. At least in the future, while he was reading the diary, others would not have to sit there and watch him read the diary.

Klein quickly flipped through the diary in his hand, skipping over the nutritious descriptions but actually meaningless content. He even skipped the content that recorded that Emperor Roselle stole the Antigonus family notes from the Steam Church for Zaratul. His eyes finally fixed on another page:
"On July 7, after my earnest advice, the Church of the Iron Sun finally agreed to hand over the Painting World to the Church of Steam. I am worthy of this!"

Indeed, you are worthy of it. The Eternal Sun Church probably agreed to this because you annoyed them so much, right?
Klein silently skipped over this sentence and continued reading:
"I spent some time touring the entire painting world and explored almost the entire map. As I expected, just like in the game, each painting world has a core. But I didn't expect that the core of this world is exactly the same as the Ayredel Church in the game!"

"This is definitely not the one in the game, but the same buildings are definitely not a coincidence. Could it be that this painting world was also painted by 'Miss'?"

"If that's the case, then where is the young lady? Where does the paint for the painting come from?"

"..."

There was a large blank space in the middle, with traces of smearing. Klein frowned and continued to read: "Anyway, I finally decided to cover up this church."

"I need to build a city on it. This is what every saint and angel in the Steam Church must do. Everyone must contribute to the construction of this world. This will not arouse anyone's suspicion..."

"I should name my city. Hmm, let me think about it. I have it. Let's call it Terra Palace!"

"This painting world will be called Holy Terra from now on!"

"Terra alone is not enough, I also need to equip the palace with enough guards!"

"... A group of 10,000 men is a little difficult, and a group of 1,000 men is unlikely to be able to do it either. So let's just get a few Titans. It's the same anyway..."

"..."

After reading the diary, Klein frowned.

The parts of the diary that were erased were obviously intentional, but only someone who could read the diary would erase the key information. And the only person who could read the diary should be Emperor Roselle himself, which means that Roselle erased these diaries himself?

But if he was going to write it down, why did he erase the diary?
Or are those contents, like the 'Twilight Hermit Society', unable to be recorded?
What kind of secrets are hidden in that church?
and……

Miss Justice also seemed to mention that Yu Jin had entered the painting world of the Steam Church, which was obviously after he went to sea.

And it is likely to happen within this week, otherwise it should have been mentioned at the last Tarot meeting.

In other words, Yu Jin’s disappearance is also related to the painting world?

Perhaps he had touched the core of the church, which is why he disappeared mysteriously...

Tsk, could it be that the embers were teleported to the gathering place by the campfire?

Klein suddenly frowned because he discovered that this page of the diary was provided by Miss Justice.

Is it really a coincidence that Yu Jin disappeared because of the painting world and she just happened to submit a page of diary related to 'Holy Terra'?

After being tricked by coincidence twice in a row, Klein could no longer face the word "coincidence".

He didn't think Miss Justice did it on purpose, after all, she couldn't understand the contents of the diary. Then, the person who provided this page of the diary to Justice...

The demigod from the audience pathway that traveled with Miss Justice?
Klein's eyes flickered slightly, and he vaguely guessed the truth, but his doubts increased instead of decreasing:

Who is that demigod?

Klein didn't hesitate for too long. He quickly picked up the vampire history provided by Emlyn and started reading it:
This history is just an outline, equivalent to a catalogue.

This is not surprising. After all, if the true history of the blood clan were recorded in every detail, it would definitely fill up a library!

This history mainly focuses on the period after the Great Cataclysm and before the Four Emperors' War.

That period was the last glory of the blood clan.

“After the Great Cataclysm, the Blood Clan left the center of the historical stage of the northern and southern continents. As individuals rather than as a group, they became nobles of different empires and dynasties, either governing a territory or guarding a castle in a key area.

"It was not until the Blood Clan's queen, Blood Moon Queen Ornia, who led us out of the dark age, reached a strategic partnership with the Night Emperor of the Trunsost Empire that the entire Blood Clan came together and became an important supporter of this dynasty. Their status was even equal to that of the Night Emperor himself! At that time, Augustus of Loen and Einhorn of Feysac had to respectfully address her as Her Majesty the Queen."

"In that era, Queen Ornia was the symbol of beauty. If there was a magic mirror that could answer questions, then the answer to who is the most beautiful woman in the world can only be her..."

"All of this was destroyed in the War of the Four Emperors. The Night Emperor fell, and the Queen was also severely injured. The Blood Clan suffered a heavy blow. After grabbing the final fruits of victory, the Seven Gods supported the four great nobles, Augustus, Einhorn, Soren, and Castia, to divide the empire and destroy the royal family that lacked a high-ranking official. The Blood Clan could only retreat into the uninhabited mountains and hide in dark corners to maintain the continuation of the clan."

Klein had a strange expression on his face. He was certain that this history was written by Emlyn White, because the "history" was mixed with a lot of Emlyn's personal work, and the words were full of his self-praise, which was very personal...

Klein leaned back, making the information in his hand disappear, and said with a smile:
"You guys start."

The Hermit pondered for two seconds and then said:

"Mr. Moon, your history is somewhat different from what I know. According to the history I know, your Blood Moon Queen should have obtained a high status by marrying the Night Emperor at that time, and her final fate should be her death in the War of the Four Emperors."

The Moon showed disdain, and had obviously heard of this saying before, and sneered:

"Then you must have read fake history. The Blood Moon Queen was powerful enough to be on par with the Night Emperor at the time, so why did she marry him to gain status? You should know that the reason why the Night Emperor was able to successfully ascend to the throne was also due to the support of the Blood Moon Queen and our blood clan!"

"The Blood Moon Queen and the Night Emperor have always been equal in status. The so-called 'marriage' is just a whitewash of history by you humans. You use it to prove the superiority of the human race and to prove that humans are above us blood races!"

"As for the fall..."

'Moon' Emlyn White paused for a second and said:

"That's true. There are records of this in the history of the blood race. The Blood Moon Queen once died in the war between the Four Emperors. Humans' historical records in this regard are not wrong. It's just that due to the information they know, the conclusions they draw are somewhat one-sided."

"One-sided?" Zhengyi was a little curious. The four existing countries in the northern continent did not have many records on this aspect.

The Moon said proudly:

"The Blood Moon Queen did fall in the Four Emperors' War, but she was also reborn. Although she still inevitably suffered heavy damage, after thousands of years, the Queen's strength has gradually recovered!"

The eyes of the Hermit Cattleya moved slightly. Although she took the initiative to raise objections, she did not have too many doubts about the history provided by the Moon. Because she also felt that the "marrying down" statement was not reasonable, because in any public information collected from the Trunsost Empire, the Blood Moon Queen was called "Her Majesty the Queen" instead of "Her Majesty the Queen".

Even in the treaty signed between the Blood Clan and the Trunsost Empire, there was only a clear record of the "covenant" but no marriage contract. Even in the records of the entire Trunsost Empire, there was no mention of the wedding of the two parties.

The wedding of Emperor Night and Queen Blood Moon, even if it was only symbolic, must have been a grand ceremony that shocked the continent. It is impossible that there was no record of it, unless the wedding did not exist from the beginning to the end.

In comparison, the statement in the vampire history that the Blood Moon Queen and the Night Emperor have equal status is more feasible!
The reason why Cattleya believed this non-mainstream statement was mainly because the lady she once followed was also very interested in this period of history, and therefore came to the same conclusion as "Moon", believing that the Blood Moon Queen and the "Night Emperor" at that time should be of equal status, and that marrying her was just a false rumor.

Although Cattleya knew all this, she still raised objections. This was mainly to get the answer to the following question:

The Blood Moon Queen fell in the War of the Four Emperors, but was reborn for some unknown reason!
The Moon seemed to intentionally give them time to think. After a long pause, he said solemnly:

"What the Blood Clan records is all true history. It has gone through thousands of years without any gaps in between. It is definitely more authentic than those obscure legends in Silver City!"

The little "Sun" who was caught in the crossfire opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but chose to remain silent. After all, he knew nothing about this part of history and was not qualified to criticize it.

Klein's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke hoarsely while controlling the 'world':

"Ms. Justice, I want to know if you know the name of that fellow demigod?"

Audrey thought for a moment and said seriously:
"Her name is Carula."

Klein's eyelids twitched. This name...Okay, the truth is out!
No wonder he traveled with Yu Jin, no wonder he went to the painting world with him, and no wonder Miss Justice so coincidentally provided that page of the diary. Now all of this has a reasonable explanation!
