Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 308 What a coincidence!
Backlund, back to the carriage at the hotel.

Klein's newly hired butler, Walter, was looking at his new employer seriously and offering advice from a professional perspective:
"Based on the current living situation, you will also need a household property manager, who can be male or female, a personal valet, two first-class maids in charge of the bedroom, two second-class maids in charge of the living room, two male servants in charge of receiving guests, a storage room maid, a kitchen maid, two laundry maids, and two male servants for rough work.

"In addition to these, there will be a cook, two gardeners, two coachmen, or a coachman and an assistant coachman. If necessary, a servant, a handyman, a family nurse, and an assistant cook..."

As he listened to the butler's detailed introduction of the servants and carriages that would be needed, Klein's mind went numb.

Not counting servants, handymen, house nurses, and cook assistants, there were 10 to 11 male servants and 9 to 10 female servants and housekeepers, which was almost double what I had expected. The weekly expenditure was more than 10 pounds, which means 560 pounds a year!
Adding the £315 for renting a house and the £400 for buying a carriage, the estimated expenditure is at least £1300. This does not include the subsequent living expenses, the need to hold dances or dinners from time to time, and the cost of renting a manor in the suburbs...

All in all, the annual expenditure is at least over 3000 pounds, which is equivalent to the bounty of a Sequence 6 pirate!
Although Klein's current savings are close to 5 gold pounds, he can't spend money like this!
After all, he would need to find a way to purchase the Beyonder materials needed to advance to a Trickster, and this was where he would spend the most money. A Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic was worth nearly 4 gold pounds, and Klein couldn't even imagine how much a Sequence Beyonder characteristic was worth. Even pounds might not be enough.

Besides, he had to leave some for Benson and Melissa...

Klein watched Walter's mouth moving non-stop, and his thoughts drifted away involuntarily. Seeing the calm, elegant and graceful Mr. Dwayne Dantes nodding frequently, Walter subconsciously expanded the topic a little:
"You will also need to rent a manor in the suburbs and invite some friends to spend a pleasant weekend there. Don't worry, you can wait until you have held a few dances and dinners at No. 160...

"Sir, please don't ask for a maid in front of your neighbors in this neighborhood. Only families with an annual income of less than 500 pounds who can't hire enough maids to do different things will hire a maid!"

Klein listened numbly, and smiled gently as if by reflex.

After returning to the hotel and watching the butler Walter go out, he sat down and lost all expression.

Up to now, with his own efforts and the help of other friends, he has now solved most of the troubles.

Even the true Creator, whom he once regarded as a great enemy, is now their ally - although this is only temporary.

And if we put aside the 'Tianzun' who used him as a substitute and tried to revive him in his body.

Then Klein now only has one hidden danger left—

Ince Zangwill.

Klein has never forgotten the great shortcomings and virtues of the culprit who killed himself and the captain!

Whether it was the evil god's advent in Tingen or the smog incident in Backlund, the shadow of this rebellious archbishop was present. And Klein's main purpose in returning to Backlund this time, in addition to coming back to see Benson and the others, was to deal with Ince Zangwill.

In the past, we were not strong enough to fight head-on.

But now Klein is already Sequence 5. Even if he cannot kill Ince Zangwill, he at least has enough ability to protect himself.

Even if he found Ince Zangwill, he would most likely not be able to take revenge himself.

But he didn't necessarily need to do this kind of thing himself, he could ask Mr. Azik and Miss Messenger for help. They were at least angels, even if their strength was damaged for some reason, it would not be a problem for the two of them to kill a demigod together, even if the demigod held a level 0 seal.

Even if Azik and Miss Messenger joined forces and still couldn't kill Ince Zangwill, he could still ask Ember to help.

After all, '0-08' is most likely a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic of the Visionary Path, and the 'Visionary Angel' of the Dusk Hermits has been tracking the whereabouts of this last Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic.

Judging from the current situation, Yu Jin is his enemy, not his friend, and he certainly doesn’t mind preventing him from becoming a Sequence 0 True God...

As Klein's thoughts wandered, he couldn't help but feel a little pained when he thought about his expenses for the next period of time.

Why did he choose a fake identity of a "businessman"? Why couldn't he choose a detective like "Sherlock Moriarty"? After all, detectives don't cost money, they can make money!

At 2:40, Klein rubbed his forehead, slowly stood up, and went into the bedroom to prepare to convene this week's Tarot Club.

And just as he entered the gray fog, he came to the palace with a towering dome.

When I sat down in the seat that belonged to the 'fool', I realized that someone had been waiting here for a long time.

Klein was slightly stunned, but he was not surprised.

Because the only thing that can freely enter and exit the gray fog is the embers.

Originally, Yu Jin couldn't do it. Not only him, but Amon and other gods couldn't enter the gray fog without Klein's permission. Even if they invaded, they could only have a short-term impact and couldn't completely occupy the gray fog.

As for why Ember was able to come in, it was of course because of Klein's own choice. After all, he was the one who personally invited Ember up...

Klein did not dwell on this question, but asked:

"What happened?"

Although Yu Jin can freely enter and exit the gray fog and has some authority over it, given his personality, he usually won't enter the gray fog without Klein's permission.

Even if he entered above the gray fog, it would trigger certain arrangements above the gray fog to notify Klein, asking him to find an opportunity to meet above the gray fog as soon as possible.

But there was neither, which meant that Yu Jin had just come in and must have something very important.

As for what exactly happened, Klein actually had some guesses in his heart—

Yu Jin had just taken Groselle to the Giant King's Court not long ago, so something must have happened there.

"There are a few small things. I went to the Giant King's Court and saw the first 'blasphemous slate' there."

Yu Jin briefly recounted what happened above the gray fog, and then wrote down the subsequent potion formula for the "Fortune Teller" path on the materialized paper.

Klein's expression was a little strange, because this operation was completely beyond his expectations.

You know, before this, he was still struggling with whether to go to the main peak of Honachis to look for clues to the subsequent potion formulas, but Yu Jin put all the subsequent potion formulas in front of him in a blink of an eye...

Of course, this doesn't mean that Klein no longer needs to go to the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains.

Because there are only three copies of the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1, one of them and the uniqueness are at the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains, another one is in Zaratul, and the whereabouts of the remaining one is unknown, but it is very likely also at the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains.

In other words, if he wanted to advance to Sequence 1 or Sequence 0, he still had to go to the main peak of the Honachis Mountains. But before, he had to go when he reached Sequence 4, but now he could go after he was promoted to Sequence 2. The danger level of the two was incomparable.

Klein memorized the key words in Yu Jin's story, such as the first 'blasphemous slate', 'God of Honor Bradel', and 'True Creator', and selected the key points before asking:

"So, the question now is how to get Mr. Door back to the material world?" "Yes."

Yu Jin nodded and said:
"But there's no need to be too anxious. After all, I'm only Sequence 5 now."

When he reaches Sequence 2, he will need to consider returning Mr. Door, who possesses three copies of Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics and uniqueness.

Klein had a strange expression on his face. You call this Sequence 5?

He hesitated for two seconds and then said:

"There may be relevant records in Emperor Roselle's diary. I will try to find clues from it. But you have to be careful. After all, Mr. Men's return will definitely be accompanied by a huge crisis."

In Roselle's diary, Mr. 'Door' hinted to Roselle more than once to let him return to the material world.

But judging from the current results, Mr. Door is still trapped in the Starry Sky and cannot return. It is obvious that Roselle has only been taking advantage of Mr. Door for free and has never thought about truly helping Him return.

Of course, maybe in his later years, Russell really considered letting Mr. Door return.

After all, his situation at that time was definitely not good, but it was only considered, because Roselle did not help Mr. Door to remove the seal until his death, which was enough to show that Roselle was full of fear of Mr. Door, and even made Roselle, who was likely to have become a "true god" at that time, feel dangerous!

soon.

Time passed little by little and it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Klein the Fool and his lover ended their conversation and materialized the World in advance. At the same time, he spread his spirituality at the right time and touched the crimson stars representing Justice and others.

Rays of light rose up, and relatively blurry figures appeared on both sides of the long bronze table.

Audrey, who had just finished a salon, was wearing a dress with lace layers on the cuffs and round pearls. She stood up lightly and skillfully, lifted the hem of her skirt, and bowed:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

Klein's mood improved a lot. He smiled and nodded, responding to the other party.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sighed:
"A newly rich man spends so much money. How much does a noble like Miss Justice have to spend on a daily basis?"

After the members greeted each other, he looked at the Hermit leisurely, knowing that the pirate general would most likely provide a new diary of Roselle. As he expected, the Hermit Cattleya took the initiative to speak:

“Mr. Fool, I have collected three more pages of Roselle’s diary.”

Klein was not surprised by this and nodded slightly.

Cattleya immediately materialized a few pages of a yellow-brown diary, and watched it fall in front of Mr. Fool as it traveled through the spirit world.

Klein looked down casually and quickly read the contents on the paper:

"It's beyond my expectation. The history of the Quaternary Period revealed by Mr. Men is becoming more and more interesting.

"This unfortunate fellow who was trapped in the storm and lost in the depths of darkness told me that the Black Emperor died once and was resurrected..."

Klein's eyes narrowed and his brows slightly frowned.

He smelled a conspiracy!

He had just told Yu Jin that he wanted to look for clues in the 'Roselle Diary' to help Mr. 'Door' remove the seal, and it turned out that this diary was related to Mr. 'Door'!
This "coincidence" made Klein, who had some PTSD, instinctively alert, but he quickly recovered -

After all, he had just talked about this with Yu Jin in less than ten minutes.

The Hermit's Roselle diary must have been prepared in advance, which means that this incident must have happened before their conversation.

So, this time it was probably just a coincidence.

After figuring this out, Klein continued reading.

The content of the diary contains a lot of information——

The protagonists are Mr. 'Door' and the 'Black Emperor'.

The Black Emperor was betrayed by the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Night Emperor' who were supported by the Six Gods, and thus fell.

But he still had the possibility of resurrection, which made the situation of the Blood Emperor and the Night Emperor, who had just seized the Sequence 1 Prince of Order from the Black Emperor, extremely awkward.

Because the Black Emperor was already in the process of resurrection, and this process was an order that even other true gods could not reverse or stop. However, in this case, the Blood Emperor and the Night Emperor would most likely fall from grace in an instant and regress to Sequence 2.

For this reason, the Lord of Storms and the Goddess of Night chose the Night Emperor and helped him turn to a similar extraordinary path, the Path of the Judge, and the Tudor-Trensost United Empire was thus split.

The Blood Emperor Alistair Tudor, who was forced into a desperate situation, made a crazy decision, which was to turn to an unrelated extraordinary path, and forcibly promoted himself to a true god at the cost of losing his mind and becoming a madman - and the place of promotion was the ruins where the three Medici died.

The result was the War of the Four Emperors.

As for Mr. Door, he, as always, revealed some secrets while trying to induce Roselle to release Him back to the real world.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, Roselle actually wrote the method in his diary!

"Mr. 'Gate' told me that there are two rituals to help him escape. One is to sacrifice one demigod each from the 'Fortune Teller', 'Apprentice', and 'Thief' paths...

The second is to extract the blood of at least ninety-nine extraordinary people from the Abraham family and use it to draw a symbol..."

Klein frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

What a coincidence, what a coincidence!
If the mention of Mr. Men in the diary can be described as a coincidence, after all, the content of Mr. Men in Russell's diary is extremely high, and most of the diaries will mention Mr. Men to some extent.

But the method of Mr. Door's escape was also written in the diary. Who could believe that this was just a coincidence?!
