Mystery: Start with the Reader

"On October 1st, I decided to build some 'wonders' before officially proclaiming myself emperor. I don't know whether to build an 'iron tower' or build a triumphal arch in Bai Feng Square...

"Well, maybe we can also build a Great Wall in the area bordering Fusac in the north? Or build a large lighthouse in a port in the Misty Sea to the west...

"In short, if these projects are started at the same time, we can 'reasonably' mobilize a large amount of manpower and funds, prepare building materials, and hide my plan to build a 'mausoleum' to the greatest extent..."

"It's just that building a 'wonder' is very difficult even in this post-industrial revolution era. I don't know how many people will die and how many families will be broken up...

"Needless to say, after this large financial expenditure, the minimum security policy I originally planned will inevitably be shelved."

"What will Bernadette think of me? Will she be disappointed in her old father?

"However, this is a necessary sacrifice! Only by becoming a true god can you get off the chessboard and become a chess player!"

Did Russell start building a "mausoleum" before he became emperor? In other words, after he made the decision to cross paths and become the "Black Emperor", proclaiming himself emperor was an inevitable choice...

In addition, I remember that Zaratul once predicted that Russell's eldest daughter Bernadette would betray him... maybe it's because of this? Lao Huang did do a lot of bad things in his later years... No wonder he was overthrown... Tsk, Great Emperor, the spectacle is ruining the country!

Recalling the description of the Sequence 0 ritual of the "Black Emperor" card in his hand, Klein sighed and continued to look at the content at the back of the page:

“On October 2, I proposed my ‘wonder’ plan in Congress... The ‘Iron Tower’ project was successfully passed, and the Arc de Triomphe did not attract much opposition... However, the resistance from the Great Wall and the Great Lighthouse was unexpectedly large...

“But it’s right to think about it. The ‘Iron Tower’ project can absorb the excess domestic steel production in recent years and save the steel plants of many members of Congress. They are naturally happy to see this project passed.

“The construction of the Arc de Triomphe went into the national finances and had no impact on their interests, nor would it refute my face.

“But a building like the Great Lighthouse, which can regulate the order of ocean trade, may affect the interests of some families who are familiar with hydrology and some senior captains... After all, although having a lighthouse for piloting is convenient, it also lowers the threshold of this industry.

"Not to mention the Great Wall... they must have thought that I was going to use it to combat smuggling and smuggling, right?

"However, this made me realize that these wonders are not without merit... At least when faced with Bernadette's questioning, I had a good reason."

The content of this page ended here. After Klein put it down, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, because as far as he knew, among the "wonders" built by the emperor, only the most useless "Triumph Arch" has been preserved, and it In fact, it was finally built thirty years after the death of the emperor.

Among other wonders, the "Rossel Tower" was torn down on the day the Gustavus dynasty fell;

As for the Great Wall, as a history student, Klein had never heard of it, as if it had never existed;

As for the big lighthouse... with the development of the times, people have long built more lighthouses to replace its original role...

However, there are different opinions on the ending of this giant tower, which is said to be impossible to see from the top even from the bottom. Some say it was destroyed by the ship's cannon, some say it sank into the trench due to an earthquake, and some say it was in Gusta. My husband disappeared mysteriously before the fall of the dynasty...

Although it was only more than a hundred years ago, the big lighthouse has become a famous historical mystery.

In the history department of Tingen University, there are even scholars who specialize in studying the topic of that lighthouse.

I remember that Mr. Azik was very interested in this mystery... As his thoughts turned, and combined with the magical experience of the past week, Klein made some guesses about the whereabouts of the big lighthouse: Could it be that the real-life prototype of the "Dream Maze Tower" is That wonder?

It was dragged into the fantasy world by Russell, buried at the entrance of the "Sea of ​​Chaos" mentioned by the "Tower", and then transformed into the "Dream Maze Tower" today?

If this is written into a paper and published, it can be regarded as solving a historical problem... But people who don't believe it will probably regard it as nonsense, and people who believe it will probably come to their door immediately...

After laughing at himself, Klein turned to the next page of the diary submitted by Miss "Judgement":

“On April 16, after nearly a week of hard work, I finally managed to get Mrs. Julia to bed!

"This conservative blonde beauty who married from Loen gave me a very wonderful experience. That feeling is incomparable to Countess Valian, Countess Fleiss, Lady Karen, Miss Drillosé and others.

"Perhaps this has the psychological bonus of a sense of accomplishment like solving a difficult problem, the excellent effect of Karen's newly prepared health potion for me, or maybe Julia's attitude of refusing to welcome gave me a different kind of stimulation...

"Anyway, I am very grateful to Viscount Delien for marrying this beauty to Trier."

Seeing this, Klein specifically looked at the date in the diary and complained in his heart:

April sixteenth? Very good. I remember in the diary I got last week that you only met Mrs. Julia on April 11th. During this period, you reflected on yourself and pondered a lot of philosophical issues... It was only a few days ago. God, after drinking the potion provided by Karen, you started to indulge again?

Thanks also to Viscount Delien... No wonder the Delien family was on the front line when they overthrew the Gustavus dynasty...

Shaking his head, Klein turned to the second page of the diary handed in by Miss Xio. After a brief glance, he found that it was continuous with the previous page...

He thought for a while and finally started reading seriously:

"On April 17, I once again had a distant tryst with Julia at Count Valian's private party... Gu Li

"Perhaps she broke through the bottom line in her heart. Her body no longer resisted like yesterday, and it brought me a completely different and beautiful feeling.

"However, after the event, she lay in my arms and cried about her dissatisfaction with her married life, her resentment towards her family, and her disgust towards her husband...

"Just when I thought she was going to ask me to rescue her from the 'Demon Cave' like a knight, she made a request, saying that she wanted to become an Extraordinary, a 'Hunter', and she hoped that I could help her. Collect recipes and materials...

“I was a little surprised by this, but I didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, it’s just the recipe for Sequence 9, and it’s not difficult for me to find it as a ‘Son of Steam’.

"But this request itself shows that Julia is actually very clear-headed and not content with being ordinary. She knows that strength is the foundation of everything, and it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself... This is a lady with no small ambitions!

"Maybe I didn't conquer her, but she 'trapped' me through various means...

"Yes, even if I see through her thoughts, I don't intend to put up my pants and deny it...and I'm looking forward to seeing her transformation.

"You just have to be careful when exercising with her in the future, so as not to be tricked by her again."

Tsk, Lady Julia later became a "Hunter"? At this time, Russell didn't know that the "Hunter" path would change gender at the "Iron-Blooded Knight" stage... nor did he know whether the lady would eventually become a demigod.

"Tsk", Klein continued to browse the contents of the last page of the diary:

“On April 20, through some investigations, although there was no evidence, I still had a vague feeling that there might be some problem with Julia’s identity.

"After all, with her apparent family environment, she shouldn't be able to raise such a transparent and scheming girl...

"But it's so perfect in other aspects, no problems can be found...

"I told Karen about this, but he told me nonchalantly that Julia was either a member of a secret organization or a spy from Loen Kingdom's MI9... and the latter was more likely. .

"After all, secret organizations don't weave personal resumes in such detail.

"However, her desire to become an extraordinary person is probably not the arrangement of MI9, but her own will... As I thought before, she has the ambition to control her own destiny.

"The reason why she chose 'Hunter' as the starting sequence is so that her future children will not be suspected because of their extraordinary characteristics from other pathways - the Delien family itself has an incomplete 'Hunter' pathway. .

“The reason why they specifically asked me for this formula is probably because they wanted to involve me, the ‘Son of Steam’, in order to muddy the waters after the incident was ‘revealed’.

"What a calculating woman. The follow-up to 'Hunter' may be 'Conspirator' that suits her very well!"

Could the wife of the former head of the Delien family be an MI9 spy? So will this family still be under Roen's control now?

I remember that the current Prime Minister of Intis comes from this family...

When the last tarot meeting mentioned that Special Envoy Owen was the "lust" of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", Miss "Judgement" said that "MI9" had already mastered this information, but would not take the initiative to arrest him...

If the Delien family and "MI9" have this connection, then it would make sense... These are all their own people!

Well, it seems that Mr. "Tower" has been collecting information about the Delien family before, and he can sell this information to him as a favor later...before Miss "Judgment" shows him these diaries.

Klein turned over the last page of the diary and picked up the legend about the "Disaster Queen" provided by Little "Sun".

During the whole process, there was silence in the majestic palace. Both "Justice" and "Moon" were thinking about what to trade and exchange later.

Abner thought about exchanging "Dixie Pie" for the "Sun" information later.

Because of Lilith's mission and Russell's words "You're early", he now has a lot of interest in the "Queen of Natural Disasters".

"Hermit" Cattleya encountered a similar situation for the first time, but she was not embarrassed or uneasy at all. Instead, she carefully analyzed the information revealed by this scene:

"This is not the first time that it has happened... Mr. Fool has the habit of reading Russell's diary at Tarot gatherings... Members are actively or passively collecting for him, but they are not sure whether they are paid in advance...

"Can he really understand Russell's diary... looking for the secrets that have sunk in the long river of history?

"Just now, that 'Sun' mentioned that the information he handed over was the legend of the 'Queen of Natural Disasters'... Who is this? An ancient god?"

At this time, Klein had roughly finished browsing the information on "Queen of Disaster".

Generally speaking, there is not much content. After all, most of the information on Silver City comes from the country of "giants". I know a lot about giants and their mortal enemies, dragons, and the elves as allies. The information is not very complete, and some information is basically left through word of mouth.

Most of this small content has been seen in the murals once displayed in the "Tower", and only one description attracted Klein's attention:

"The 'Queen of Natural Disasters' has a close relationship with the 'Harvest Goddess' who is the queen of giants. She has visited the Kingdom of Silver many times... This caused dissatisfaction with the 'Goddess of Beauty' who defected to the elves. The relationship between the two gods is very bad."
