Chapter 116 Counting Your Fingers
Klein looked at the long list of rebellious statements in Russell's diary and really didn't know what to say.
Even just from these diaries, he could feel the emperor's excitement at the time, the sense of superiority brought by his "intelligence," and the feeling of watching the high and mighty royal family and old nobles fall into his trap and fall off the throne. It was indeed something that was hard to resist.
Klein was somewhat amused and exasperated. Looking at the various plans listed in the Emperor's diary, he even felt a sense of "I could do that too."
Isn't this experience just copied from various historical anecdotes from my hometown?
In this extraordinary world, royal families like the Sauron family, along with the old nobles, naturally look down on all social classes except the Church.
The various methods that Emperor Roselle devised to escalate the conflict were almost too successful; he didn't need to do anything proactively.
With a little guidance, everything will develop in the direction he imagines.
The various methods the emperor imagined in his diary were not systematic; he just wrote them down as he thought of them. However, judging from the diary, these methods all achieved good results.
For a fleeting moment, Klein felt a pang of envy. How could the Emperor copy everything? Even his political tactics.
What incredible luck that the Emperor has had!
The era in which Emperor Rosell lived was so wonderful!
"They simply don't understand the power of uniting the masses; they are completely unaware of it."
Klein mentally assessed that these so-called nobles, including the royal family, didn't care about "public opinion" at all.
History textbooks clearly record that Emperor Roselle, as a colonel, quelled a rebellion, launched a coup, united other ambitious individuals and forces dissatisfied with the Sauron family, and established a republic.
It then took nearly 20 years to reform the code, exchange the support of the steam church for the Industrial Revolution, and win the tacit approval of the Eternal Sun Church by encouraging commerce.
Then he began to unite the members of parliament who had some wealth, weaken the power of the nobility, and began to wage wars in the south and north, establishing his prestige in the army.
After suppressing the established aristocratic forces to a certain extent and cultivating another force within the military that was in conflict with the traditional aristocracy, he launched a coup.
Those equally ambitious members of parliament could only watch helplessly. They were powerless; their foundations were too weak. The old nobles who had the ability to stop them had also been divided and suppressed by Emperor Roselle over the past twenty years through various means.
Is the Emperor... playing a game?
By combining the contents of the diary with some historical records, Klein was able to understand the strategies that Emperor Roselle took step by step. He could do these things too, but there was nothing he could do, because the emperor was born in a turbulent era.
I can only be envious.
"On April 8th, although it wasn't very obvious, I could tell that Zarathustra became nervous. Why was that?"
Why is the way he's looking at me so strange?
"This reminds me of Zarathustra's sudden visit before I quelled the rebellion and prepared for the coup."
"Depend on!"
"Those fortune tellers deserve to die!"
A certain "fortune teller" who was reading a diary helplessly pretended not to see it.
Those who occupy the lower class actually have a very hard life.
You have no idea how dangerous it is to be on duty!
Mr. Fool smiled calmly:
"After reading Russell's diary, I suddenly remembered that there are some simple common sense facts that I haven't told you."
Xia Er nodded understandingly. After all, you only just found out; we really didn't have the chance to tell us before.
Wow!
Audrey's eyes lit up when she heard this.
The common sense that Mr. Fool mentioned could not possibly be just ordinary common sense. Since Mr. Fool brought it up himself, it must have important value.
"Mr. Fool, what exactly is this common sense? I can pay you for it!"
Audrey was already quite impatient.
"No need, that's common sense, it's free."
"I believe some of you have already grasped this."
Mr. Fool said very generously.
Next, the "angel" politely responded to the several gazes directed at him, and the "fool" began to expound on the law of the immortality of extraordinary characteristics.
It is also said that by killing extraordinary beings, one can obtain extraordinary traits or sealed items, which is also a manifestation of the law of the immortality of extraordinary traits.
"This is really convenient. There are always lucky ones who can accidentally find all sorts of extraordinary traits and then embark on an extraordinary path, starting a mysterious journey to say goodbye to the ordinary."
"This also provides a path for extraordinary individuals who haven't mastered the extraordinary formulas to advance. It doesn't matter if you haven't mastered the next sequence of potion formulas; just find a way to kill an extraordinary individual, then consume the extraordinary trait, and you can advance."
Xia'er felt that the original design by the creator was quite humane. Items dropped when you defeated monsters, and as long as you worked hard, you would be rewarded. There was no extremely low drop rate or discrimination against unlucky players. Such a conscientious design deserves praise.
Lilith, the progenitor of vampires, and Fabti, the demon king, are examples of this. Everything was preordained; they were destined to become gods. They didn't need to do anything; they simply woke up and naturally became gods.
What?
Mr. Angel actually said this is a good thing?
This is cannibalism!
Audrey was deeply shocked, but she began to console herself, telling herself that this was just how the mysterious world was, and that she should accept it all and bravely move forward.
Chael was somewhat disappointed to find that "Justice" hadn't made any statements about justice.
He had already planned how he would retaliate after Miss Justice spoke up: Why is this guy so quiet now?
"Mr. Angel?"
Audrey turned her head, feigning confusion.
"It's nothing, I was just engrossed in watching."
Chael turned her head away, pretending that she wasn't thinking about anything.
Are you mesmerized by these grayish-white mists?
Or is it the pattern on Miss Justice's clothes?
Klein was speechless. Even her excuses were so perfunctory. "Angel" was becoming more and more casual. Was it because she was getting to know Miss Justice better?
"Mr. Fool, I'd like to know what adjacent sequences mean?"
Alger asked the question.
"I can tell you, but you'll need to help me investigate the secret society further."
The Fool didn't hold back this time; after all, there was an angel in the Tarot Club, and he couldn't let the angel steal his business.
"Sure, but can I know the answer beforehand?"
Alger did not refuse.
"Mr. Fool, I also want to join this deal."
Audrey quickly raised her hand.
"Me too."
Derrick nodded quickly in agreement.
"sure."
Before the angels could even arrive, the Fool had already lowered his head and started counting on his fingers. Wait... he's actually counting on his fingers at a tarot reading?!
For a moment, Klein had the illusion that this was a class reunion or a parent-teacher conference.
"Adjacent pathways are simple; they are certain pathways that can be converted into each other in high-order sequences."
"For example, the Death Path can be switched between the Warrior Path and the Night Path when advancing to Sequence Four."
"This won't be like taking the wrong potion, causing an irreversible loss of control."
