Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

"The facts now prove that my choice was correct. I don't feel any urgency to save the deceiver. It is not necessarily a coincidence that I was reincarnated as a descendant of Abraham."

As Lin Nuo gained a deeper understanding of this world through the records of the City of Silver, he gradually realized some things that had previously been ignored by his instincts.

"Ha~"

Lin Nuo smiled and narrowed his eyes. He performed an exaggerated tap dance in the sewer like a clown in a movie.

“Why did I choose the apprenticeship route?”

He took a step forward.

"Because in the future I will open a door that leads directly to the River Styx."

Another step forward.

"There was something else in that river besides me, and I had no memory of it."

His smile was bitter.

"Is there a god behind me?"

There was surprise in the voice.

"Even though He should have died long ago."

Finally, the figure disappeared into the darkness.

Chapter 158 Roselle Memorial Exhibition

Lin Nuo vented all his dark and anxious emotions into the sewer. When he returned home, he smiled warmly and gave the two maids a warm hug.

Instead of being worried about the so-called conspiracy theories, he was more positive and proactive in preparing to meet new challenges.

Although the word "true god" gave people a very heavy sense of oppression, he was also a person who had come into contact with the three evil gods. This shock was far less exciting than the first time he saw Roselle's diary.

on Tuesday.

Lin Nuo brought a bag of Marquis black tea to visit the editor-in-chief of the Backlund Post. As a missing person, he always had to ask his boss to cancel his leave when he came back to work.

After the holiday, Lin Nuo took a camera and went to the Kingdom Museum at 2 King's Avenue in the West District.

A Roselle memorial exhibition is being held here, and a bookmark inside is suspected to contain a blasphemous card.

During the week that Lin Nuo was away from Backlund, he assigned the task of monitoring the Kingdom Museum to two maids. It was not difficult for a trainer and a gravedigger to manipulate animals and spirits to monitor a museum from a distance.

But in the previous week, the two women took turns to operate the pigeons day and night and did not notice anything unusual. Today, Lin Nuo planned to come and see if the bookmark had been replaced by someone without anyone noticing.

If not, he would personally bring a few cute little spiders and bats to stay in the museum as spies. He wanted to see how long the fool could endure.

There were few entertainment activities for the gentlemen of Loen, which resulted in a large number of people lining up. Lin Nuo came late and was in the back of the queue. He saw Mr. Klein who was far ahead of him.

"I can explain my coming here as work, but what are you doing here as a detective? Did the Fool privately assign you a task to steal bookmarks?"

Lin Nuo was somewhat suspicious of Klein's motives for coming here, so he had the good sense to not cut in line, but instead stood behind to observe Klein's next move.

In order to interfere with Klein's spiritual intuition, Lin Nuo even secretly used astrology. He watched Klein stand in front of the display case containing many of Roselle's important manuscripts for a long time.

After Klein left for the next exhibition hall, Lin Nuo walked over and saw that it was an open notebook with simplified Chinese characters that he was extremely familiar with.

"March 17th, are all the ladies of Intis so open? Was it me who slept with her, or was it she who slept with me? It feels a little weird."

"March 22nd, it's time to choose a faith. My choice is without a doubt. Praise you, God of All Things!"

"One day, I will change the name of the Artisan Church to the Mechanicus."

Lin Nuo read Roselle's diary and roughly understood what Klein came here for. This guy was most likely here to cause trouble for the Fool.

Following Klein's footsteps, Lin Nuo saw the love letter copied by Roselle, the original manuscript of the novel copied by Roselle, and the basic education textbooks copied by Roselle... for the purpose of educating children.

"You guys have to go take a look wherever there is Roselwen, right?"

"Can you remember it in such a short time?"

"Oh, I almost forgot you can replay it through dream divination."

While Lin Nuo was reading about Roselle's dark history from his early years, he was silently criticizing Klein in his heart.

When Lin Nuo was about to continue following Klein, he found that Klein had entered Emperor Roselle's study, which was a closed and independent exhibition hall, and was also where the bookmark was hidden.

In order to avoid being exposed to Klein, Lin Nuo chose not to follow. He stopped in front of the current display case and started taking some photos with his camera.

There are Intis chess sets and some building block toys here.

He raised his head and looked around. There were not many tourists around. Most of them followed the tour guide into the library. Only a woman over 1.7 meters tall was standing next to the display case in front of him.

The lady had waist-length chestnut hair and a very well-proportioned body, neither fat nor thin.

She was wearing a girlish yellow cake skirt, but an old-fashioned black soft hat, with fine plaid tulle hanging down, covering her face.

At this moment, she turned around and looked calmly at the camera in Lin Nuo's hand.

"Ah this..."

Lin Nuo smiled awkwardly and quickly stepped forward to apologize. Although he was not a good person, he was definitely not a voyeur.

“My beautiful lady, please don’t misunderstand me. I took some photos of the exhibits and I didn’t offend you.”

"This is my camera. You can open it and check it. If you are not satisfied, I apologize."

Lin Nuo directly and generously handed over the camera in his hand. He didn't want to be labeled as a voyeur in such a public place at all.

Hopefully this lady will have some sense, or else he will resort to some hypnotic-type extraordinary powers in order to avoid the tragedy of sociological death.

"Do you like Emperor Roselle's inventions?"

The lady with long chestnut hair took the camera, flipped it left and right twice, and then returned it to Lin Nuo. She turned her eyes back to the collection in the display case and asked casually.

Lin Nuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the lady had no intention of slandering him. The other party just symbolically took the camera without even opening it to check it carefully, and did not make any unreasonable demands. She seemed to be a nice person.

"Whether it's chess, building blocks, or textbooks with pictures, if I were still a child, I would probably like them very much."

"But what I value more now is what these things represent. Emperor Roselle works day and night but still takes time out to prepare these toys for his children. It seems that he still cares about the growth of his children."

Lin Nuo saw these exhibits and his eyes flashed with some complexity and nostalgia. He didn't like to put his things in the exhibition hall for people to display. I don't know what Russell thinks...

Oh, he's dead...

I will find a way to take back your inheritance in the future. It’s better to let our compatriots get away with it than to let the natives get away with it, right?

Lin Nuo moved his lips twice, but finally said nothing.

As a time traveler, Lin Nuo always felt a sense of grief over Roselle's death.

It's a pity that those bastards in Intis didn't whip his corpse or anything, otherwise he would have more goals to work towards. Unlike now, he can only sigh at the relics of his predecessors.

Bernadette Gustave always felt something strange when listening to the words of the silver-haired young man. Her eyes, hidden under the fine gauze on her head, flickered slightly and became dim and difficult to see.

Through the prophecy, she saw some very vague pictures of the future, and she saw herself handing over a very important item to the other party.

Lin Nuo didn't know that a Sequence 3 prophecy master had made a high-level prophecy on a whim. He only saw the other party standing quietly in front of the display case, staring at the items inside, with no intention of paying attention to him.

So she was just asking casually? Was she not in the mood to talk?

Lin Nuo shook his head and smiled, not caring. After noticing that Klein had not yet come out of the exhibition hall, he gave up the idea of going inside and left directly.

He already knew that the target bookmark was sandwiched between a hardcover book, so there was no need for him to confirm it in person. He just needed to leave a few eyes to keep an eye on it.

When he left the museum and turned a deserted corner, he released a few cute little spiders and bats from his pocket and watched them quickly hide in the shadows of the surrounding buildings.

"knock off!"

Lin Nuo patted the camera in his hand and planned to find a high-end restaurant to reward himself. He did not notice that there was a pair of hidden prying eyes quietly watching him from behind.

Chapter 159: Mutual trap is a trap

At noon.

Lin Nuo was enjoying Dipsy pie and bean and turnip soup in the restaurant.

He guessed that the Fool would soon take action on the Card of Blasphemy. The only thing that was unclear was who the Fool would assign this task to.

Among the many members of the Tarot Club, Lin Nuo felt that he was the most suitable candidate at the moment, but the Card of Blasphemy was a valuable divine object, and the Fool might arrange for His followers to take action.

For example, the one who single-handedly killed Vice Admiral Hurricane.

When Lin Nuo was curious about the identity of the follower, the area around him suddenly became hazy and endless gray-white mist emerged.

In the center of the gray fog, the figure of The Fool stood high. He was listening to a man who was too blurry to be seen clearly praying:

“… pray for certain help;”

“Please help me get access to the bookmark in Russell’s creative manuscript;”

Lin Nuo frowned as he listened to the distorted voice. Did the Fool know that he had been to the Roselle Memorial Exhibition, or did he simply think that he was the most suitable?

Just as Lin Nuo was about to respond, he heard The Fool speak in a low and calm voice:

"You can choose to accept this commission, or not."

“Dear Mr. Fool, since I can do it, I will naturally not refuse this commission.”

Lin Nuo agreed immediately. He still had the Fallen Flute in his pocket, so he owed the Fool a favor.

Moreover, the Fool did not let him steal the bookmark, but just tried to see if he could destroy it. The Fool's follower also offered him a reward of 500 pounds.

"it is good."

Klein the Fool in the gray fog nodded slightly and replied with a single word.

When the illusion completely disappeared, Lin Nuo turned his gaze to the half-drunk green soup and began to wonder whether Klein's investigation was a coincidence.

"Is Klein the follower of the Fool?"

"But what is his reason? In terms of qualifications and strength, he is not outstanding..."

When Lin Nuo was thinking about Klein, he thought of Triss again and suddenly he had some enlightenment.

"Oh, this guy seems to be a poor guy too."

Lin Nuo sighed slightly and said nothing more.

He had no intention of returning to the Kingdom Museum. Although he had agreed to the Fool's commission, why should he do such a dangerous thing in person?

He originally revealed the information about the Card of Blasphemy to the Fool in order to test the Fool's reaction. If there was a suitable candidate, he could outsource the Fool's task.

At six o'clock in the evening, the Kingdom Museum sent away the last batch of ordinary visitors. When the little spider controlled by Lin Nuo was about to take action, it welcomed a group of visitors consisting of noble people such as the daughter of the Earl, the child of the Duke, and the young Viscount.

Knowing that some of the nobles' children were playboys who often got into trouble, Max Livermore, the captain of the West District team of the "Mechanical Heart" who was in charge of guarding the memorial exhibition, had to disguise himself as a security guard and always follow them to guard against accidents.

He wears a monocle, the seal codenamed "3-1328", nicknamed "Crystal Eye", which can directly see spirits and ghosts to prevent theft.

However, this seal is not very useful for detecting spiders. Lin Nuo saw Miss Justice looking at the first flush toilet in the modern sense with interest through the buried nails.

Emperor Roselle was still very good at enjoying life. Although he couldn’t even keep his own toilet after his death, the gold foil inlaid on it and the intricate patterns carved on it were enough to allow it to find a job and become self-reliant after being laid off.

Miss Justice had a similar reaction to Klein. She was always particularly interested in the manuscripts that contained text. If she was willing to join the Mechanicus, she could take some copies. Miss Justice smiled and did not respond.

While Max was accompanying Audrey into the next exhibition hall, Lin Nuo controlled a small spider to pass through the glass display case and pierce the surface of the bookmark, silently reciting the phrase "Pirate King" in his mind, once in Hermetic and once in Ancient Hermetic.

There was a fleeting feeling of unreal and abnormal resistance.

The little spider completed the task perfectly and disappeared by spontaneous combustion.

Lin Nuo also passed the investigation report to the Fool.

After the noble groups left, the people of the Mechanicum began to deploy their defenses. Outside were ordinary security personnel, and inside the exhibition hall, Max Livermore, the captain of the "Mechanical Heart" team, was patrolling back and forth with a lantern.

His two subordinates stayed in the small hall, next to Roselle's diary.

But there was an extra item placed on the glass display case.

It was a pile of colorful building blocks, which was also a sealed item. As long as those deformable building blocks were assembled into corresponding buildings, they could establish a connection with real things. Once someone broke in, it would immediately shrink.

Of course, this correspondence has many limitations. It can't be too far apart, and it can't be put together if the number of building blocks it has is not enough.

And the people and objects inside are almost unable to leave without external help.

The few little bats that Lin Nuo released were ruthlessly killed, and only a few small spiders hiding in the cracks escaped.

Lin Nuo was very interested in the Fool's next move, because he heard the Steam Heart team discuss how to conduct a sting operation, even though it was aimed at Roselle's fanatical fans...

But with such precautions, the Fool's follower would probably suffer a great loss. Lin Nuo had already prepared tea and snacks for this long-awaited drama.

In the exhibition hall where Roselle's diary was placed, two members of the "Mechanical Heart" team suddenly heard a clicking noise.
