Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 193 First meeting

On Monday morning, Eve helped Klein sort out the information sent by Meursault and then they discussed the investment he was interested in.

Seeing Klein bring the topic to bicycles, Eve looked up and raised her eyebrows slightly, but still showed no interest in investing.

This time, Klein didn't have any thoughts. As a time traveler, Eve must understand the future of bicycles. If she still chose not to invest, she must have her own reasons.

After leaving, the two strolled on the street for a while, bought some daily necessities and food, and enjoyed this leisurely time.

At around 2:30 in the afternoon, the two returned home, had lunch leisurely, and then arrived at Sefirah Castle one after another.

Klein took out his pocket watch and opened the cover of the golden pocket watch with a "click". He watched the hands move little by little, and with a "tick-tick" sound, they moved into place.

He raised his hand and touched the star in front of him. Then, a deep red light emerged like a fountain and slowly faded away, leaving three figures in the thick gray fog.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool! Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man, Ms. Queen, Mr. Sun, good afternoon!"

Audrey's voice was as energetic as ever. She half stood up, lifted her skirt slightly, and greeted everyone happily.

The Hanged Man nodded slightly in response, then half-stood up, bowed his head in the direction of The Fool, and said respectfully, "Mr. Fool, I have memorized another six pages of Russell's diary this time."

Audrey maintained a reserved and appropriate smile on her face, cheered softly in her heart, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, looking forward to what "common sense" Mr. Fool would come up with after reading the diary.

After receiving approval, Alger began to recall the contents of Russell's diary in his mind and wrote them down on paper one by one.

He had previously considered asking the Fool for permission to submit the remaining diaries as a sacrifice, but when he saw that the Fool didn't seem very interested and didn't bring it up, he gave up the idea.

This was consistent with his understanding. Russell's diary had a certain effect on the godlike Mr. Fool, but not a significant one. He would collect it, but not in a hurry.

The six pages of the diary were quickly completed, and the next second, they appeared in Klein's hands.

"On October 29, Zaratul, the leader of the Secret Order, visited me again. He didn't mention anything specific. He just chatted casually for a while. I couldn't guess his real intention. He seemed to just want to strengthen his power. Communication and understanding of each other?”

"Having met two high-sequence powerful men of the church, I felt that Zaratul was stronger and more mysterious than them, so I asked casually without any hope, what sequence he was in, and he actually answered I!"

"He said he is a Sequence 2 'Miracle Master'!"

"Sequence 2? In the church's classification, this is the angelic level, a status close to that of a god!"

"As expected... Sequence 2 might just be his previous position, or perhaps he's about to be promoted."

"Does that mean Eve is at least a Sequence Two, or perhaps a Sequence One?"

"I told Zaratul my guess, and he told me that Eve's status is below True God but above Sequence One." "That's truly astonishing. This means there's a stage between Sequence One and Sequence Zero, and Beyonders at this stage are already extremely close to True God."

"I asked Him again what the name of the Sequence Eve was in was. Zaratul told me that the Sequence One name for the 'Assassin' pathway was 'Witch of Doom'. 'Witch of Doom', this is the first Sequence One name I've ever heard of. How cool!"

These two pages of the diary didn't provide Klein with much information, but knowing the sequence names of Zaratul and Eve was a gain, although he could have found out directly by asking Eve.

The third page of the diary describes Russell's mental journey in inventing a practical steam engine. He was worried about being suppressed and afraid that his achievements would be seized by bigwigs. The words between the lines revealed that others wanted to persecute him.

I never thought that Emperor Roselle, who considered himself the protagonist of the era, would also be so nervous and worried... Klein twitched his lips and turned to the fourth page of his diary:

"On April 18th, Matilda became pregnant."

"This is to be expected... In other words, the children of high-sequence experts may be born Beyonders. As for their Sequence number, it is determined by their father or mother. I wonder if this is also true for descendants of gods..."

After reading this page of the diary, the first thing that popped into Klein's mind was the "Law of Indestructibility of Extraordinary Characteristics" and the "Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics."

As for Emperor Roselle's final question, Klein believed the answer was yes. He still remembered the oppressive feeling he felt when facing the scion of the evil god. If it weren't for Her Excellency Sesima's presence, the Tingen Nighthawks would have suffered a heavy blow.

The fifth page of the diary is Russell's complaints, complaining that no one here can appreciate his pop music and thinks he is making noise. At the same time, he feels that cool writing is the common pursuit of different people in different worlds. The popularity of "The Return of the Count", which was plagiarized from "The Count of Monte Cristo", has enabled the newspaper he founded to flourish.

It was just some everyday complaints, but the last few words caught Klein's attention.

“…Oh my god! There’s a ghost! No, it’s an evil spirit!”

"I'm scared to death! Tomorrow I'm going to find a Beyonder from the Sun Path to exorcise her!"

"...We found a professional to exorcise the evil spirit. It shouldn't come back. But when I think about it, that evil spirit seems quite good-looking. Although I didn't see her face clearly, I feel like she must have been a beautiful woman when she was alive."

Seeing this, if it were any other time, Klein would have twitched his lips and silently complained, "As expected of you, the Emperor." But at this moment, his attention was drawn to the last sentence.

"That professional didn't have strict quality control, but I can't blame him. After all, it wasn't a ghost, it was a fellow villager. Speaking of which, the fellow villager is really a beauty, hehe."

Klein read it over several times before looking away, silently pondering, "This diary entry must have been written very early, recording the first meeting between my sister and the emperor."

Klein sighed helplessly inwardly with a somewhat delicate mood, and turned to the sixth page, which was also the last page:
"On November 10th, I secretly met with the great pirate Savini Solomon at the White Maple Palace. I wanted him to plunder my opponents on the new route and attack the ships of Feysac, Loen, and Feynaport."

"And I promised to help him advance to a High Sequence... Savini has a child named Nast Solomon. My intuition tells me that he will roam the five seas in the future."
