Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

However, no one knew that "The Fool" Klein was actually a newly joined Extraordinary in the real world.

By day, he's a history graduate from Hoy University, handling various paranormal events as part of the Night Watch team.

At night, he is the "Fool" above the gray fog, wielding power over the Source Castle and guiding the members of the Tarot Society to grow step by step.

He concealed his identity, proceeded cautiously and meticulously handling the paranormal events in Tingen City, coming into contact with various bizarre and extraordinary objects and out-of-control extraordinary individuals, accumulating extraordinary materials and experience while hiding the secrets above the gray fog.

As the ruler above the gray fog, he shelters every member of the Tarot Club in the name of "The Fool," gaining more knowledge through conversation, interacting with each other, exchanging materials and information, and providing them with potion recipes, extraordinary knowledge, and protection.

Especially above the gray fog

This can help suppress madness to some extent.

Klein appears cold and aloof, but he is secretly plotting something.

[This "Fool" who wields power in the Source Castle still harbors a trace of loneliness and caution from another world deep within his heart.]

He not only plays the role of the night watchman, but also maintains the operation of the Tarot Club, while dealing with various crises and hidden enemies in the extraordinary world.

Soon, an unexpected event occurred.

Chapter 99 Was Roselle also a time traveler?

The Night Watchers were Klein's initial guides as he entered the extraordinary world.

This period was probably the most stable, warmest, and safest time he had in Tingen.

After coming into contact with the extraordinary world, as he followed the path of the diviner, step by step breaking free from the ordinary and climbing upwards, it was at this time that a senior led him into the library and opened a yellowed diary.

The words in the diary were familiar to the people of this world, but they didn't recognize them, yet they struck Klein like a thunderbolt.

Those were words etched into his very bones, in simplified Chinese.

[The text of my hometown before I traveled back in time]

He was shocked to discover that the owner of this diary was none other than Roselle Gustavus the Great, who had created the steam age and established the Intis Empire.

[Then the identity of this legendary emperor is quite obvious.]

[Another time traveler from Earth]

Above the sky, Klein's shocked expression was magnified infinitely, while the entire world of the Lord of Mysteries was not much better off than Klein on the sky.

This news sent shockwaves around the world.

Because that was... Emperor Roselle!

............

In the noble estate of Backlund, countless dignitaries sat under the canopy, their composure and elegance shattering completely at that moment.

Russell Gustav, the emperor who created the steam age and established the Intis Empire, is an insurmountable legend in their hearts and a great man who promoted the progress of the world.

Their family's rise to prominence was largely due to the benefits they received from that person.

And it's not just them.

In today's world, who doesn't admire that person?

"Impossible! How could Emperor Roselle be an 'outsider' from another world?"

An Intis nobleman suddenly stood up, his tone full of resistance and disbelief.

In their eyes, the glory of Emperor Rosell was a gift of talent and destiny, a legend belonging to this world.

Yes, people from all worlds like to link humans with gods.

Of course, there were also calm nobles who frowned and began to analyze the situation seriously.

"No wonder the Emperor's ideas were so advanced, no wonder he was able to invent steam locomotives and guns, and drive the transformation of the entire world—it turns out he brought knowledge from another world with him, and those seemingly incredible creations all had traceable origins."

Meanwhile, in Intis’s secret hideout, Bernadette Gustav stared at the sky, her body trembling slightly, clutching a badge left by her father tightly in her hand, her eyes filled with shock.

She spent her entire life searching for her father's whereabouts and uncovering the truth behind his disappearance, but she never imagined that her father's identity would hide such a shocking secret.

Meanwhile, the leaders of various churches gazed at the images on the celestial screen, their expressions solemn, and remained silent.

The revelation of the identity of Emperor Roselle, a legendary figure who once rivaled the Church and ultimately ascended to the position of Sequence 0 God, not only overturned the world's understanding but also challenged the Church's belief system.

The archbishop of the Church of the Night gazed at the sky and spoke slowly.

"So it turns out that Rosell Gustav was not a being of this world. He brought the aura of another world into this world, stirred up storms, and ultimately perished... This may be the root cause of his corruption and loss of self."

The high-ranking members of the Church of Steam and Machinery wore complex expressions: "The Emperor propelled the steam revolution, leading the world toward progress, but does his status as an 'outsider' mean that he never belonged to the world's order from the very beginning?"

The believers were in an uproar. Some prayed devoutly, some were puzzled, and some questioned in hushed tones: "Why is the chosen one an outsider? Did the glory of Emperor Roselle receive God's approval?"

Besides the regular army, members of secret organizations such as the Aurora Society and the Rose School looked at the news on the sky, their eyes flashing with greed and calculation.

Emperor Roselle was a time traveler, possessing knowledge from another world; his great achievements are self-evident.

People once tried to find out how he was able to do all that, but unfortunately, nothing came of it.

His diary contains countless wonderful things.

They're so hungry!

In the past, although the diaries of great emperors were famous, they were only famous as historical sites because no one could understand them.

But it's different now.

"Klein Moretti can read the diary, which means he holds all of Emperor Roselle's secrets!"

A fanaticism flashed in the eyes of the Aurora Society members: "If we capture him, we can obtain Roselle's legacy and control the secrets of the world!"

The members of the Rose School also had gloomy expressions and were talking in hushed tones.

"Rossel is an outsider, and Klein is also an outsider. They may share the same 'special constitution'."

They looked at Klein's figure in the sky, their eyes filled with covetousness.

And not just those with status.

On the streets and alleys, countless ordinary people gathered together, discussing the matter animatedly, their faces filled with shock and curiosity.

"Was Emperor Roselle an outsider? From another world?"

"My God! No wonder he was so amazing, able to invent the steam locomotive and build such a vast empire. It turns out he possessed abilities from another world!"

"That young man named Klein, is he like the Emperor? He's also from another world? No wonder he could understand the Emperor's diary!"

"It turns out that the legendary emperor we admire was once an ordinary person just like us, who also struggled to survive in this world. He was just more powerful and more resilient than us!"

Some felt awe, some curiosity, some envy, and some fear.

Roselle's diary records his entire journey from time travel, growing stronger, achieving glory, to losing his way.

All of this became crucial clues for Klein to understand the extraordinary world and avoid the pitfalls of advancement, and it also allowed him to find a sliver of solace from his homeland in this unfamiliar world.

This kind of life is actually not bad.

Unfortunately, trouble soon followed.

The scene in the sky was dark, and a man dressed in a black robe with a sinister face appeared.

Ince Zangwill, a fallen Night Watcher and a high-sequence powerhouse, was once Dunn's comrade-in-arms, but fell into corruption because he coveted extraordinary abilities.

He sensed some unusual activity here, so he began to secretly make his plans.

A conspiracy against Tingen is quietly brewing.

Ultimately, Ince Zangwill, in alliance with evil spirits and fallen extraordinary beings, launched a surprise attack on the Tingen Night Watchers.

In the scene, the city of Tingen is engulfed in flames, the church has been breached, and the night watchmen fight back desperately, but they are unable to withstand the powerful enemy.

After a fierce battle, almost all the other members of the squad were killed, leaving only him and one other person alive.

Klein escaped with Dunn's cover, but Ince Zangwill relentlessly pursued him, potentially even endangering his brother and sister.

To protect his family and to gather strength for revenge, Klein faked his own death, adopting the alias "Sherlock Moriarty," and boarded a steam train bound for Backlund after the funeral.

He's not dead!

Benson's heart sank as he headed to the cemetery.

Then, he stopped walking.

Because he saw that familiar face on the street corner.

The steam train roared forward, completely leaving Tingen and speeding towards Backlund, the capital of the Kingdom of Loen.

Klein concealed himself, disguising himself as an ordinary traveler and completely eliminating any trace of his identity as Klein Moretti.

[He relied on his own divine abilities to repeatedly perform divination and confirm that he was not being tracked by Ince Zangwill or the power of other sealed artifacts, nor had he left any traceable spiritual imprints.]

During his journey, he repeatedly reviewed the contents of Russell's diary, memorizing the taboos of each extraordinary path, the rules of the Church's power, and the risks of advancement.

These words from his hometown, along with some of his knowledge, are the core foundation upon which he stands in this extraordinary world.

Yes, part of it.

[After all, it's a diary, not a lab manual; it's more of his daily rants.]

At the same time, he clearly planned his own path.

First, establish yourself in Backlund under your new identity, then seek out advanced potion recipes and extraordinary materials to steadily improve your strength, and patiently await the opportunity for revenge.

[A few days later, the steam train pulled into Backlund train station. The thick smog, the roar of the machinery, and the bustling crowds formed the backdrop of this metropolis.]

Klein, using the alias Sherlock Moriarty, discreetly exited the station and, following the guidance of a divination, headed to his rented apartment at the border of Queens and Hillston.

The apartment he chose was in a secluded location, free from disturbance to neighbors, making it an ideal temporary refuge for concealing his identity and avoiding danger.

After moving in, Klein used spiritual powder and tarot cards to set up a simple warning and protective array to ensure the safety of the residence and completely prevent outside prying eyes.

[Afterwards, he went to the relevant department to obtain a legal private investigator's license, using this identity as a cover so that he could make a living and legally collect various intelligence without attracting attention.]

It can be said that he exercised all the necessary caution and made all the necessary preparations.

Of all things, life is the most important.

After completing everything, he didn't rush into the extraordinary circles. Instead, he took on various secular cases as an ordinary detective, familiarizing himself with the environment and rules of Backlund, keeping a low profile and biding his time.

In his spare time, he continued to hone his skills as a diviner, refining his spiritual vision, divination, and spiritual perception, and honing his foundation to prepare for future advancement.

[At this moment in the extraordinary world, news of the destruction of the Tingen Night Watchers and the theft of the high-sequence sealed artifact by the traitor Ince Zangwill had already spread throughout the major orthodox churches and secret organizations.]
