Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 117 Six-person gathering
Seeing Roger say this, Klein hesitated for a moment and did not rush to investigate Baronet Pound's affairs. Instead, he turned to the city library and began to study the history and archaeological discoveries of the Fourth Epoch families, including Solomon, Trunsost, and Tudor.

Roger returned to the dock area in Tingen and began today's performance.

The next morning, when he used the Traveler's Dice to return to his residence at 15 Minsk Street, he saw Klein talking to the mirror.

This made Roger's heart tighten. He originally thought that Klein's spirit was affected by the Medici Hot Pot trio, but he soon saw Sharon's figure in the mirror and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is the employment over?"

Klein asked.

Sharon nodded in the mirror, her shadowy form.

"If I want to work with you again in the future, would you be willing?" Klein asked after considering it for a moment.

Sharon nodded again.

"So...I'm looking for you through Maric?"

Klein asked tentatively.

Sharon nodded again, then lifted her skirt, bowed, and quickly disappeared.

"call."

Klein let out a long sigh as he saw Sharon walking away.

"What a beautiful lady, isn't she?"

Roger sat down next to Crane and winked at him.

"Yeah, and he's very powerful too," Klein agreed.

"By the way, Klein, did you previously obtain the Beyonder characteristic of 'Puppet Master'?"

Roger thought for a moment and then asked.

"Yes, what do you think?" Klein asked.

"You're still quite some time away from reaching Sequence 5, so I suggest you explore other uses for that Beyonder characteristic, or craft it into a Beyonder item... This way, you can indirectly gain combat power comparable to that of a Sequence 5."

"When you need to be promoted, if you can't find a new Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic, I can help you separate it again."

Roger tentatively reminded Klein.

In the original timeline, because Rosago was contaminated by the "Filthy Words" spell, the Puppet Master Extraordinary characteristic that Klein obtained could not be used to make potions.

In the end, he found the main ingredients for making potions on his own and was successfully promoted.

But now, unexpectedly, Roger not only prepared a magical item corresponding to the "Faceless Man" extraordinary characteristic for Klein, but also helped him obtain an uncontaminated "Master of Secret Arts" extraordinary characteristic.

Although this characteristic could be used for future promotions, considering that Klein had always wanted to create an avatar in Sefirah Castle, Roger also indirectly guided him to make some attempts first.

His true purpose cannot be revealed, as it will lead to Mr. Fool's social destruction.

Of course, Roger also believed that Klein could successfully grasp the key to his hint and make a formal attempt.

Seeing Klein lost in thought, Roger patted him on the shoulder:

"I'm going to take a rest first. I'm so tired after singing all night."

Then he went back to his bedroom, fell headfirst into his comfortable and soft bed, and fell asleep.

When Roger woke up again, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day.

"Today is Monday, and the Tarot Club is coming soon..."

Roger quickly washed up and tried to make himself look better.

Although no one could see each other's faces clearly above the gray fog, for Roger, trying to maintain his elegance was also, in a sense, to maintain a good mood.

After hastily devouring two slices of bread with butter, Roger finally sat down in his workshop before 3 o'clock.

Rusty starlight burst out, and he reappeared in Sefirah Castle above the gray fog.

Also appearing are Miss Justice, Mr. The Hanged Man, and Mr. The Sun.

In addition, at the end of the long bronze table sat a strange figure wearing a hooded black robe.

The moment Roger saw the figure, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"It seems Klein really tried..."

Although this "Puppet Master" extraordinary characteristic has not been contaminated, it is still possible to create an avatar in the "Source Castle" using the same method.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~ Afternoon..."

"Justice" Audrey Hall was about to greet the other participants of the Tarot Club, but suddenly noticed the figure at the end of the long bronze table.

"Mr. Fool, who is this?"

Audrey's tone was a mixture of joy and confusion.

The "Tarot Club" has developed and grown again!
Hearing Audrey's gaze, the three people, including "Wheel of Fortune" Roger, also looked towards the end of the long bronze table at the same time.

"This is the new member, Mr. World."

Mr. Fool replied in a rather leisurely tone, leaning back in his chair.

Hearing this, Audrey also greeted Mr. World.

As Audrey began to use her Audience ability to analyze Mr. World's personality, Klein chuckled inwardly and looked at Derrick Berg.

"Mr. Sun, it seems you have reached the final milestone on the road to digesting the Chanter potion. Congratulations."

Klein the Fool used his clairvoyance above Sefirah Castle to discern the changes in the astral form of Derrick Berg, the Sun.

"Thank you, Mr. Fool, and thank you all for your continued help."

The Sun sounded a little surprised, as if he hadn't expected Mr. Fool to be able to see that he had already digested the potion.

"I heard from Mr. Fool that I can issue missions and collect extraordinary materials here, is that correct?"

At this time, Mr. World asked in a "deliberately" hoarse voice.

"Yes, but you must wait for Mr. Fool to finish his reading today. This is his exclusive time."

"Ok."

The World nodded and said nothing more.

This time, Alger, the "Hanged Man," once again brought six pages of Emperor Roselle's diary to Mr. Fool.

In this way, he has already delivered eighteen pages of notes. When he delivers the last page at the next meeting, he will have completely fulfilled his promise to Mr. Fool.

After Alger passed the notes to Klein the Fool by writing them on the spot, the latter began to read again.

The first two pages of the diary primarily contained Emperor Roselle's account of the Beyonder traits inherited by his three children. Through this diary, Klein learned that of the Emperor's three children, only Bernadette had not inherited any Beyonder traits, while his eldest son, Charles, and second son, Benoit, had inherited a small amount of Sequence 9 Beyonder traits and the complete Sequence 5 "Astrologer" Beyonder trait, respectively.

"Born as Sequence 5... It really lives up to the old saying: the biggest watershed in life is amniotic fluid."

Klein couldn't help but sigh. He had fought tooth and nail to finally digest the Sequence 8 potion, but in contrast, Benoît Gustave was born a natural-born Beyonder, one step away from becoming a demigod.

But on the other hand, being born a Beyonder isn't necessarily a good thing, because it means the direction of one's life is almost completely fixed, leaving little room for choice.

Just like the children born in imperial families in ancient China, they did not enjoy much fatherly love like ordinary people since childhood, but had to face the power struggles and intrigues in the court too early.

Afterwards, Zaratul made predictions for each of Russell Gustav's three children.

He talked the most about Bernadette, saying that she would become a big figure in the mysterious world, but on the other hand, she would hate and betray her father.

"I can really feel Emperor Roselle's heartbreak even through the diary..."

Klein couldn't help but imagine the awkward scene of an elderly father facing his rebellious little child...

The second page of the diary mentioned the interaction between Emperor Roselle and a member of the Soran family named Floran. The other party mentioned that he wanted to recruit Roselle and let him serve his family, and as expected, he was secretly cursed by Roselle.

Pages three and four respectively deal with Rosell's plan to enact some laws and his further curses against Florent.

In his diary, the emperor bluntly called them "paratroopers."

The last two pages contain some secrets about the "Twilight Hermits" and how Emperor Roselle created the first "Card of Blasphemy" based on the blasphemous slate.

Of course, he still refers to the Twilight Hermits as "that mysterious organization."

"The Card of Blasphemy? Contains all the knowledge from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0?"

The information here surprised Klein.

Does this mean that if I can find the "Card of Blasphemy", I can fully master a path?

He calmly put down the diary in his hand and looked at "Justice" Audrey Hall.

After praising the other party for his excellent work in successfully killing Bakerlund, Mr. Fool then asked what kind of reward he wanted.

Miss Justice was flattered. She thought for a moment and then said:

"Mr. Fool, I wonder if you could share more of the contents of Emperor Roselle's diary... or other knowledge we don't know?"

"can."

Klein the Fool nodded and replied, then asked, "Do you want to listen alone, or share with others?"

Miss Justice originally wanted to choose to listen alone, but she glanced at Mr. World subtly, thinking that she should establish a helpful and friendly image of the Tarot Club members for this newcomer.

So she said:

“I’m willing to share this information.”

"can."

Mr. Fool nodded.

Klein then shared what he had recently read in Emperor Roselle's diary about how Beyonders excrete some of their Beyonder characteristics during childbirth, and used Emperor Roselle's son, Bonova, as a vivid example to illustrate this point.

Of course, he used a cheerful tone when he mentioned Bonois Gustave, which gave everyone present the impression that Mr. Fool was treating Emperor Roselle's family affairs as an interesting topic of conversation, rather than just learning relevant knowledge from the diary.

"A natural born astrologer... truly fascinating."

Audrey sighed, but then another question came to her mind:
"So, the life paths of those born with Beyonder traits are already determined? ...Or do they have the opportunity to jump to adjacent paths in the future?"

Mr. Fool chuckled upon hearing this:

"Yes, just like you acquired extraordinary people."

This sentence made Miss Justice sit up a little straighter.

"By the way, Mr. Fool, you said last time that you would choose an appropriate time to trade the adjacent pathway information of the Audience. I wonder if today is the right time?

"Of course, please feel free to ask for compensation."

Miss Justice asked for this information again.

And Mr. Hanged Man also said:

"If you could also share some knowledge about the adjacent pathways of 'Sailor', I would be very grateful... Of course, if you require any compensation, I can also find a way to pay it."

Although Alger was currently doing quite well in the Church of the Lord of Storms, he also knew that many Beyonders were unable to continue their advancement due to factors such as church relations.

Therefore, if there is a possibility of changing the path, it may be an opportunity for Alger.

"I don't think I need anything in particular right now... I still have quite a bit of cash on hand. If I'm short on anything, then I need ingredients for the Magician's potion."

This gave Klein a headache. He always felt that it was a bit absurd to ask for "Sequence 7 potion materials" based on his own personality.

It is not very appropriate to mention it in the name of his own followers. After all, as a "near-god existence", the strength of his followers should be at least at the same level as Roger.

So Klein could only settle for the next best thing:

"You can still pay with Emperor Roselle's diary."

Justice and The Hanged Man breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They already had their own channels to acquire Emperor Roselle's diary, so they could fully accept such a price.

"As for the three gentlemen, Sun, Wheel of Fortune, and World, if you wish to participate in this transaction, you can bring me Emperor Roselle's diary... or you can wait until I decide on other rewards before making payment."

Mr. Fool's last words were addressed to Derrick. After all, this young man in the City of Silver had no chance of obtaining Emperor Roselle's diary.

"No, Mr. Fool, I don't need to change the route."

Derrick was quite confident. For him, continuing on the "Sun" path was his only pursuit.

"Mr. Fool, thank you, but I don't think I need this information."

"Wheel of Fortune" Roger also politely declined. On the one hand, he didn't want Klein to use the knowledge he gained from him to get another reward for free. On the other hand, this also fits with his "demigod" persona.

Mr. World naturally joined this transaction because he was completely Klein's alias, and any transaction between the two could be conducted behind the scenes.

So Klein created a soundproof barrier and brought Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man together.

"First of all, I need to point out that the paths you two are on are adjacent to each other."

Mr. Fool's voice was quite cheerful.

However, Audrey and Alger were shocked.

"What, we're adjacent pathways to each other??"

The two looked at each other and fell into silence for a moment!

　End of today.
