Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 562 Judgment and Stars

Inside the ancient palace of giants.

Amidst the swirling gray-white mist, streaks of deep red light flickered and emerged.

"Justice," Audrey, in a good mood, glanced to her right. Upon seeing "Angel," the corners of her mouth slightly turned up. Her gaze then swept over Mr. "Fool" at the head of the table on her left, and finally over all the other members.

Two new members?

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that there was an extra person in both the men's and women's sections.

"Let me introduce you. This is Ms. Judge, and this is Mr. Star."

Mr. Fool introduced himself.

These two gentlemen and ladies were among the last to enter the gray fog space.

This cannot be said to be Xia'er's problem. It is known that Mr. Fool is a good person, and the Tarot Club also has a tradition of recommending new members to join. So, the fact that Salty Fish Fors has never invited Hugh to join may be due to Hugh's lazy personality.

As for "Star" Leonard... this guy is Klein's friend, dear Fool. He hadn't found a good opportunity before, and for some indescribable reasons, he didn't really want to invite acquaintances from real life to join. This was Mr. Fool's own reason.

"Welcome to both of you."

"7

Miss "Justice," as always, gave a very welcoming welcome, followed by the usual...

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool, good afternoon, Mr. Angel..."

After exchanging greetings, the two new members finally figured out who was who.

Such tarot gatherings have actually been held several times during this period, but because the world has been relatively peaceful, nothing major has happened. They are just normal exchanges of information and sales of materials, somewhat like gatherings between ordinary friends.

Is this what Tarot Club is all about?

Ms. Hugh, the "judge," glanced at Fors beside her. As an extraordinary individual with the arbitrator's pathway, she quickly recognized her best friend and her best friend's best friend.

And Leonard, the "star," naturally glanced at Klein, the "world," at the very bottom of the table, several times.

Although these small gestures weren't particularly noticeable, they still made Miss Justice smile slightly. She already knew who had invited these two people. If she really wanted to investigate, she could even find out Mr. "Star's" identity. However, a lady like Miss Justice wouldn't do something so impolite.

"Mr. Fool, I have obtained two more pages of Russell's diary this time."

"The Hermit" Cattleya remains the same ruthless diary-giving machine.

"Well done."

The Fool no longer simply nodded or said "good" as before, but instead offered a rare compliment, which even made the Hermit, Cattleya, feel flattered. It also made the Justice, Audrey, the Hanged Man, Alger, and others wonder if they had been too complacent lately, failing to collect much of Roselle's diary, and even becoming less serious about completing this side quest.

Little did they know, this was simply a case of the "fool" becoming more confident.

In the past, the Fool would naturally not dare to praise anyone easily, since the way to manage subordinates is to keep a distance. The Fool did not have much wealth to reward his subordinates. But now it's different. Since the angel is playing himself, it doesn't matter.

Even if the "hermit" lady makes some unreasonable request, let the real hermit handle it.

Before, it was Klein alone who worried about messing up the performance, but now...

Klein himself sat leisurely in the "World" seat. Let "The Fool" mess up his performance; he just needed to act normally like the other members. Anyway... "Angel" would take care of it.

Of course, confidence is one thing.

Russell's diary is still worth reading.

"Not bad, I didn't expect the Craftsmen's Church's assessment to be so easy."

"Having the identity of a fallen nobleman is quite useful. No, how could I think that way? What ultimately impressed that bishop was definitely my knowledge."

"Damn the Church of the Eternal Sun, you'll never know what you've missed! Later, when I rise to a high position in the Church of the Craftsmen, I'll make you regret shutting out a genius today!"

"Sigh...that's true, but I still want to join the Church of the Eternal Sun. The Craftsmen's Church is not only weak, but its name is also so low-class, it feels like a second-rate church in a game. If I ever have the chance, I'll definitely make sure this church changes its name!"

"The Fool" Klein leisurely looked at the diary in his hand, which was an early entry from the diary of Emperor Roselle.

Logically speaking, weren't Bernadette's diaries selected from the Hermit's collection?

These should be some rather significant diaries...

Oh well, it doesn't matter. But the early emperors ultimately failed to achieve their goals.

I remember that the Emperor's initial wish was to rename the Craftsmen's Church to the Church of the God of Machines, right? In any case, the name he initially chose was definitely not the Church of Steam and Machinery.

Klein casually flipped it over and found that there were writings on the back, so he looked at them.

"Damn it, so what if you're an 'angel'?"

"This pope just doesn't know what's good for him. I provided so many impressive names, and he insisted on forcing together a 'Steam and Machine Church'?"

"Does this guy even know what he's got? Does he even know what he's got?!"

"As I've already said, improving the steam engine and driving the Industrial Revolution was just a small revolution. With my talent, I can bring about a second and a third Industrial Revolution, whether it's the electrical revolution, the information revolution, or the utilization and development of nuclear energy. I'm confident I can do it."

"Sequence 3 Mystic Scholars on the General Knowledge Path can already attempt to build Gundams, and Sequence 2 Knowledge Mentors can directly modify physical parameters. If I were to advance to Angel and develop controlled nuclear fusion, it would be a piece of cake. I could even build spaceships! These conservative old fogies are driving me crazy!"

Below is a large area of ​​colored decorations...

"The Fool" Klein stared at these things in surprise.

Emperor...were you always this crazy?

Are you really planning to continue developing the tech tree?

Klein remained skeptical, believing it stemmed from a sense of frustration and rebellion stemming from the suppression of the Emperor's talent and ambition.

"A bunch of idiots, geniuses, conservative and feudal old fogies."

Klein looked down and saw another large section of heartfelt words, written in very good handwriting.

However, Klein did learn something from the Emperor's complaints.

After all, given the Emperor's status as the "Son of Steam" at the time, his criticism of the "Church of Craftsmen" must have contained some genuine insights, and wasn't just mindless rant.

The artisan church, which represents technology and tradition, is actually the most conservative and the one that suppresses technological development the most?

Intis already had a prototype of the steam engine, but the reason why no one made improvements for so long was because of the resistance from the Craftsmen's Church. Most craftsmen always despised these things, believing that only handcrafted works had a soul and were closer to the divine will of the Craftsmen's God.
