Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.
Chapter 363 Teasing
Chapter 363 Teasing
Luke glanced at Audrey, whose tone became more serious and seemed to have a lot of complaints about him, and waved his hand frivolously, speaking in a light tone.
“Good afternoon, Miss Justice.”
No, I’m not okay at all!
Audrey bit her lip gently, holding back the words in her heart.
Ever since Mr. “Emperor” proposed such a radical reform as war, expressed his disdain for the ruling Loen royal family, and questioned the current legal system, her mood has been aroused.
At first, she wanted to find a way to refute the words of the “Emperor” from the perspectives of law and politics.
After taking the “audience” potion, she gained an excellent memory and meticulous observation skills. She began to read all kinds of tedious and complicated laws and regulations, and also inquired about politics through her coquettish behavior and Susie who accidentally swallowed her own potion.
The result is a chill all over the body.
The implementation of various bills is not to promote the improvement of the law, but a battle between the Conservative Party, the New Party and the Moderate Party.
Profitable regulations will be passed the fastest, even if they are useless or even cause a huge waste of resources, while bills that are helpful and meaningful to residents will be abandoned and abolished as long as they do not make money.
In between are all kinds of power comparisons, confrontations and connections, money transactions and class struggles, and all kinds of human relationships that she still doesn’t fully understand.
Audrey has always known that the world is not as beautiful as the fairy tale world her father and mother described to her.
The maids would be jealous of each other for taking care of her daily life, because the salary of a personal maid and an ordinary servant was different; her two brothers would trip each other up just to compete for property and titles; her father was willing to give her a certain degree of choice to choose a partner she liked, but she had to ensure that the other party’s title was above the viscount and that the territory and assets had corresponding standards; her mother would implicitly teach her how to manage a marriage and how to keep silent about her husband’s infidelity…
When she thought that these things were all about the evils of the world, reality taught her a harsh lesson that these things were completely on a different level from the filth of politics and class.
To the extent that, she even witnessed a bloody stabbing when she attended a dance two days ago!
The assassination of Beckran, the ambassador of the Intis Republic to the Kingdom of Loen, was undoubtedly another political game.
The assassin was an Extraordinary, and the ambassador was also an Extraordinary. Also participating in the battle were the deacons of the three major churches and Admiral Amyrius, whom he had met several times.
Dazzling extraordinary abilities have always been the mysterious world that Audrey longed for and expected, but when these extraordinary abilities began to hurt her and others, she suddenly lost a lot of her yearning for the extraordinary world.
The gentlemen and ladies around kept screaming, running, and crying with their eyes closed, while Audrey just stood there quietly, watching it all silently without blinking.
When Becker’s body exploded into blood, and the assassin easily defeated Admiral Mr. Amyrius and escaped by reciting the real name of the evil god “True Creator”, her “audience” was completely digested.
But digesting the potion did not make her feel better.
Silent confusion began to shroud Audrey’s heart. She could not forget it even with Susie’s company. She could not find relief even when she went to pray at St. Samuel’s Church. It could not be diluted even when she met a new friend who was interesting and compatible with her.
This is probably what they call the more awake you are, the more painful it is…
Emperor Roselle is truly a philosopher who understands people’s hearts.
Audrey sighed silently in her heart and couldn’t help but glare at Luke again.
Mr. “Emperor” is so bad!
She shouldn’t have thought about these things. She should have been a carefree girl, choosing a gentleman she liked, entering into marriage with the blessing of her family, and living a happy life… But now she didn’t want to forget the entanglement of this period and go back to the past.
“Congratulations, Miss Justice, you are now a Beyonder.”
Seeing the colors deep within Justice’s aura blend into one, becoming pure, with the main tone transformed into a melancholy blue and a hint of angry red, Klein interrupted her thoughts at the right time and muttered silently in his heart.
What happened to Miss Justice and Mr. Emperor? They were fine during their last meeting. Apart from the Tarot Club, they probably don’t have any other social interactions, right?
Audrey finally reacted. She was still in front of Mr. Fool. She quickly controlled her emotions and spoke.
“I have to thank Mr. The Hanged Man for his help, and… and Mr. The Emperor for his help. I have digested the Audience and can prepare to advance to Sequence 8.”
What?
Finished digesting?
Klein at the top said nothing but started shouting wildly in his heart.
I have barely digested half of my fortune-teller potion, but how come Miss Justice, who was also an ordinary person before, has already digested it completely?
What does this mean? I went from second to last to last?
Lu Ke smiled casually, “It’s just a small favor, you’re welcome.”
The Hanged Man, who was about to say something polite, was stunned. Did he hear wrongly? Wasn’t it just a week since the last meeting?
The audience was digested in just one week?
Even if Sequence 9 digested things quickly, and even if Audrey’s attire, which was obviously that of a noble lady, showed that she was very suitable for the “audience”, it shouldn’t take a week to digest them, right?
Alger, who had spent several years digesting the potion, asked in a deep voice, “What did you go through?”
Audrey pursed her lips and said, “I witnessed an assassination up close. It was an assassination that had far-reaching consequences and involved a battle between multiple powerful Beyonders.”
Alger: “…”
awesome.
After calming down, Audrey lifted her skirt and saluted the Fool:
“I’m sorry, Mr. Fool. I was busy all the time, so I only wrote down one page of Emperor Roselle’s diary.”
“I took down three pages.”
Alger also began to show:
“It was inconvenient floating on the sea before. Now that I’m back on land, it will be faster to collect.”
Luke’s lips curled up into a smile, and he remembered that he hadn’t played with the cat for a while, so he raised his hand as well.
“Mr. Fool, I also collected a page of Roselle’s diary.”
Klein pretended to be calm and composed, nodded, and asked the three people to present the written words. He then took Russell’s diary and started reading it.
Excluding a lot of nonsense, the first few chapters are all about explaining various secrets and anecdotes of Roselle, the mysterious “Forsaken Land of the Gods”, and Roselle’s encounter with a high-sequence fortuneteller named “Zaratul”.
There is also Mr. “Door” who is described as being exiled to the starry sky, trapped in darkness and storms, wandering alone, and can only cry for help during the full moon.
Klein then scanned the diary of Emperor Roselle submitted by Luke and was immediately surprised. This seemed to be the earliest record of Emperor Roselle.
“My name is Huang Tao, I’m 33 years old, I live in the first ring of the capital of Intistril, I’m married, and I have three children, two boys and one girl, my eldest daughter Bernadette, my eldest son Charles, and my second son Bonois.”
“I work in the Republic of Intis, and I get off work and go home at 8 o’clock at the latest. I don’t smoke, and I only drink a little. I go to bed at 11 o’clock at night and make sure I get 8 hours of sleep. Before going to bed, I drink a glass of milk from any lady, do 20 minutes of relaxing exercises, and then go to sleep. I can basically sleep soundly until dawn, like a baby, and never leave fatigue and stress until the next day.”
“Even the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who I command say that I am normal.”
Klein: …
There are so many things to complain about that I don’t know how to rant about them. It turns out that Emperor Roselle’s real name is Huang Tao. As expected, he is from the Great Foodie Empire. This name suits him very well, both yellow and romantic.
Still a JOJO fan…
Although there are many complaints, there is also a lot of content. Klein continued to read: “I just want to say that I don’t have any other extravagant demands, except for pampering my daughter and beating my son, tasting the taste of a witch, and occasionally fighting with the Count of Champagne. Winning or losing is what I hate to care about the most. Because that will only bring me trouble and enemies.”
The taste of a witch, a bayonet fight…
The corners of Klein’s mouth twitched twice, and he looked down. The font suddenly turned blood red and sharp, with a strong color.
“…You’re looking at me.”
“Fool!”
Below, there are countless pairs of cold eye-shaped patterns, staring at the Fool with a breathtaking silence.
Swah——
Klein’s pupils suddenly dilated, and for a moment, fear filled his entire mind. He was unable to remain calm and stood up in a panic. Even as a spiritual body, he felt his heart beating so wildly that it was about to burst.
What the hell is this? !
Was Emperor Roselle simply joking or did he really predict that he would see the contents of the diary?
How did he know that his code name was “The Fool”?
“Mr. Fool, what’s wrong with you? Are you okay?”
A concerned voice sounded, and he looked down and saw it was Mr. “Emperor”.
Audrey and Alger were also surprised by the Fool’s gaffe and stood up.
Klein collected his thoughts and realized that he seemed unsteady. He coughed twice and raised his hand to press it lightly. His voice was calm and slow.
“Ignore, just thought of some interesting attempts, hope you can help.”
In order to prevent his status from declining, he used the ritual magic he learned from Old Neil to pray to the gods and recite the honorific name he made up.
“A fool who does not belong to this era.”
“A mysterious existence above the gray fog.”
“The black and yellow king who controls good luck.”
The three-part honorific name instantly set off a huge wave in Audrey and Alger’s hearts.
This is a three-part honorific name that only gods can use!
In fact, angels can also use the three-part form, but one of the sentences must include the name of the god, which is essentially a form of dependence. However, Audrey, who lacks knowledge of mysticism, and Alger, who is still a minion, naturally don’t understand this.
Luke looked at the frightened Klein with satisfaction as he frantically tried to make amends and show off his status. He felt relieved. He might not be a cat lover, but playing with cats occasionally did relieve his fatigue.
“Well, now it’s time to chat, you can start on your own.”
Klein spoke in a pretentiously deep voice, then quickly pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the information.
Audrey spoke first. She stared straight at Luke and her tone was particularly firm.
“Mr. Emperor, I hope you can come to Backlund. It can be regarded as a request or a commission. I am willing to bear all the expenses of travel, accommodation and meals.”
Backlund?
Klein’s spirits lifted. He wanted to take a look at this “City of All Capitals” that he had only heard of. However, the matter of Antigonus’s notes had not been resolved, and it was difficult for the Nighthawks to leave the city, and they had no money.
Come to think of it, my fellow countryman has been in Backlund for a while, and I don’t know when he will come back…
Audrey’s girlish, gentle voice continued:
“For this, I am willing to pay three thousand pounds.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Klein’s body trembled slightly. He resisted the urge to shout “I’ll go” with great willpower, and the bronze armrest of the bench under his hands was almost crushed.
God have mercy on him, his weekly salary after he was converted to a regular employee was only six pounds, about 25 pounds a month, and 300 pounds a year. Miss “Justice” said it was his salary for ten years, which he had to save up by not eating or drinking.
ten years!
Alger was shocked by such a big move, and looked at Audrey as if she were a monster. However, he was also slightly happy in his heart, because Audrey’s request just happened to overlap with his.
“If that’s the case, I also have something to ask Mr. Emperor for help, and the location is also in Backlund.”
Noticing the anxious looks from both of them, Luke raised his chin.
“You don’t have to pay me. I’m traveling in Backlund recently, so I don’t need a few thousand pounds. But I’ll be back home in about one to two weeks. What can I do for you?”
Since he started squeezing the nobles, he has accumulated more than 100,000 pounds in his account. He has not kept track of the exact amount, but after he seizes the Kingdom of Loen, he will formulate a new currency and redistribute it. Money is just a number in his eyes now.
Alger and Audrey looked at each other and nodded politely.
“Lady first.”
“Thank you very much, Mr. Hanged Man.”
Audrey took a deep breath and said, “I hope to meet with you to exchange and discuss some…issues and resolve the knot in my heart that I have encountered recently.”
“Okay, we’ll agree on a specific time and place when we’re done.”
Lu Ke recalled the dazzling Audrey on the day of the banquet, coughed lightly, smiled and nodded in agreement.
A good guy like him loves to help girls untie their knots!
Then he looked at Alger, the traitor of the Church of Storms:
“What’s the matter with you?”
Alger suppressed his nervousness and asked tentatively, “I have received accurate information that Vice Admiral Hurricane Qi Lingos, one of the seven admirals at sea, will soon come to Backlund. Are you interested?”
“Vice Admiral Hurricane” Qi Lingos?
Luke frowned slightly. A Sequence 6 Wind-loving One paired with Creeping Hunger was of course insignificant to him, but the timing of Qilingos’s appearance was a little off.
According to his original destiny, he should have come to Backlund two to three months later to assassinate Duke Negan, who was the Conservative Party’s leader who revised the Poor Law.
The reason why Qi Lingos assassinated Duke Nigan was because he accepted a commission from a secret organization and was rewarded with a “blasphemous card” made by Emperor Roselle.
And the person behind the secret organization is Adam.
The King of Angels who possesses the uniqueness of the audience’s passage sequence and two copies of the extraordinary characteristics of sequence one, and is a fantasy angel who inherits the divinity of the “Ancient Sun God”!
Is this because you realize something is wrong, but you can’t find the problem, so you start testing it?
Luke thought about it for a moment, felt it was interesting, and nodded slowly.
“can.”
