Part 2 The Faceless Man Chapter 249 – What is a Miracle?
Seeing that Mr. “Fool” smiled softly and did not say anything, Audrey “Justice” and the others had no choice but to withdraw their gazes and stop asking questions.
For this kind of only give hints, do not explain the situation, they do not think there is any problem, the gods level of existence often have a similar habit, sometimes, even give is not a hint, but a revelation.
In the eyes of Mr. Fool, just a name is enough, we can not understand is not enough level, need to be more attentive to figure out and try …… “justice”! Audrey more and more looking forward to the situation after she became a “psychiatrist”.
”…… I remember that the half-abandoned temple has a text like ‘Redemption Rose’?” “The Inverted Hanged Man,” Alger looked sideways at “The Sun.”
Derek nodded without hesitation:
”Yes, in the corner of a mural, written in a script derived from the Giant’s language, which took us some time to decipher.”
”Giant language derived from the text ……” “Inverted hanging man” Alger did not care about this detail last time, but at this time can not help but have some association.
That little boy Jack is suspected to be from the past of the Sunia Sea …… Giant Language Derived Words …… Alger deliberated on the request and materialized a line of words.
Those words belonged to the ancient Forsak language which was the source of the writing of the countries of the northern continent, and meant:
”Redemption Rose.”
”Sun,” Derek said with some consternation as he took a closer look:
”It’s close, just not quite the same at the end of the word.
”Mr. ‘Inverted Hangman’, is this your writing there?”
Said Derek, reproducing the words from the mural.
”Right.” Alger replied in the affirmative, “The language itself has evolved, and the type you found would have belonged to a much earlier type.”
In linguistic circles, this type of ancient Forsak language is widely considered to be characteristic of the Solomon Empire …… Historian Klein gave the most correct answer in his mind.
”Inverted hangman,” Alger said after a pause:
”What about the corresponding mural?”
”I wasn’t in charge of that area, and I didn’t look at it in detail before I left ……” “Sun” Derek was a little ashamed for a moment.
Alger nodded with an unchanged expression:
”Find a chance to figure it out, there might be a key point hidden here.”
”Good!” Derek felt more and more that things weren’t that bad.
Seeing him relax quite a bit, “Justice” Audrey asked with a bit of curiosity and a bit of doubt:
”Mr. ‘Inverted Man’, if that little boy called Jack is really the child of the ‘Listener’ that you described, how come he can communicate with ‘Sun’ them?”
After the matter of “Redemption Rose” corresponding words, she was completely sure that the language used in Silver City and Lune was different from the common language of all the countries in the North and South continents.
On top of the gray fog, everyone can communicate very smoothly and without any intervals, relying on the great power of Mr. “Fool”…… Audrey praised in her heart.
”The Inverted Hangman” Alger gave her a look and grinned:
”Ms. ‘Justice’, you haven’t experienced many transcendental events, have you?
”Jack has become such a horrible monster, what can’t be changed? Believe me, there are times when words are very easy to acquire, it’s just a matter of a second or two.”
…… Audrey blinked, feeling that she had again exposed herself as having little experience or insight in the mystical realm.
With that matter out of the way, the tarot party began to move down the usual steps, with “Justice” Audrey looking over to the topmost head of the long bronze table:
”Mr. ‘Fool’, there are three more Roselle diaries this time, and I still owe seven.”
Hearing this, Mr. “Magician” Foerth hurriedly followed:
”Mr. ‘Fool’, I also received a reply, and next time there will be a new Roselle diary.”
”Very well.” Klein responded with a light smile.
Next to him, “Sun” Derek suddenly felt ashamed again, because of his participation in the exploration squad, he didn’t even have time to go to the library last week to look through the information and memorize the details of history.
After a brief process, Klein picked up the manifested three-page diary and began reading it with anticipation:
”August 8th, first time I got an invitation to enter the White Maple Palace and attend a ball held by His Majesty the King.
”These nobles are so damn extravagant, and the food seeks novelty, what with the roasted swan and the sheep’s testicle pie ……
”I have to say, I was surprised at the very beginning, the nobles in this world, well, limited to nobles, are still very clean, bathing is quite frequent, toilet paper is even earlier prototype, and the medieval nobles on earth are completely different.
”I originally thought that this was an effect brought about by the presence of a true god, but then I was told that this was an improvement that had to be made due to some kind of threat, and that a certain sequence of Extraordinary Beings was able to spread the plague with the help of dirty habits, and I don’t know which pathway or which sequence it was.
”My first thought at the time was, these nobles are in over their heads, aren’t they? If they are afraid of a plague epidemic, why don’t they clean up the sewage-ridden streets, why don’t they build a perfect sewer system, and why don’t they renovate the slums?
”In the same city, if there’s a plague over there, it’s okay here?
”Well, with water, food, and people isolated from access or one-way flow, maybe it will be okay ……
”But there are plagues that can be spread through the air! When I’m in a high position, I’ll definitely push for urban construction and environmental cleanup, even if I don’t think about the plague, it’s still diabolical to live in such a stinky city!
”By the way, I have a summons from His Majesty the King tonight.
”I thought that I, coming from the Earth and being educated in equality, would be unassuming and calm, but in reality, still nervous and excited, I unconsciously bent my waist and lowered my head, of course, I know that the King and I are equal in personality ……
”This is the charm of power!”
Although the whole page is a daily routine, the Great Emperor still managed to make me laugh …… He is also a person with pursuits …… That said, even if one is born in a modern society, one will still fear and curry favor in the face of those in high positions and those who can influence one’s fate …… The corner of Klein’s mouth slightly hooked, and his mood lightened a lot.
He turned to the second page and continued reading:
”November 10th, about to be promoted to Sequence 4, about to become a demigod.
”After this time, as long as I don’t lose control, my life level will have a qualitative change, and I will no longer be a short-lived species, but of course, different paths have different states for different sequences.
”I am faced with two choices, one is the ‘generalist’ pathway of ‘alchemist’, and the other is the ‘peeper of secrets’ pathway of ‘Occultist’, in the end I didn’t change paths because ‘Hidden Sage’ is a very dangerous being, however, I always suspected that k wasn’t a true deity, and that the bits were perhaps a bit on the low side.
”After becoming an ‘Alchemist’, I’ll be able to infuse the items I make with a ‘soul’ and give them a certain amount of life, it’s a Creator-like feeling that must be really, really great, and that’s why I continue to pick this extraordinary pathway.
”After acquiring the extraordinary characteristics of this sequence, I should be able to accomplish more of my conceptions, and one day, the phrase ‘It’s not that we don’t try, but the hangers-on have a Gundam’ will appear in this world, and it will be a Gundam in the truest sense of the word!
”The only problem is that the ritual corresponding to the ‘Alchemist’ will extract all the life force in a certain area, the soil will be sanded and the lakes will dry up …… How is this similar to the cult rituals ……
”I’ve always felt that this system, the Magic Potion Sequence, has too many gray and crazy places, and occasionally it can even be so evil as to make people despair.”
The Great Emperor also has similar feelings ah …… Seeing this, Klein couldn’t help but sigh.
There were times when he also felt that the background tones of this world were gray and black and crazy.
What with the law of indestructibility and conservation of extraordinary properties, what with the same pathway aggregation effect, and what with similar sequences being interchangeable, all of them would bring about a brutal evolution in the direction of cruelty.
”Alchemist” is an interesting sequence, and the alchemy of life sounds like a very forbidden and near-divine realm. …… I wonder if the Great One had a Gundam before he was assassinated. …… I don’t think so. was not …… Klein’s thoughts were a little scattered for a moment.
He was quite curious about the rituals of becoming a High Sequence, of becoming a demigod, but unfortunately, Rossel hadn’t recounted much, after all, this was a diary, not notes.
Sequence 4 “Occultist” for “Secret Snooper” sounded good too …… Klein turned the second page of the diary over, letting the third page unfold before his eyes:
”April 23rd, what a mess these nobles are! I thought Mrs. Karen was hitting on me for sex because she thought I had substance, but who knew that her husband, the Count of Champagne, was spying right next door and was even so excited he was trying to fucking anally assault me!
”I’m sorry to say I couldn’t take it and had to kick him out of the room.
”I’m an innocent child compared to their family!”
…… Klein was speechless for a moment, only to realize that Rossel the Great’s private life was truly wonderful, and that many of the nobles in Intis were also sufficiently odd.
In case any noble hunted for a curly-haired baboon, some sort of disease might be born. …… Klein tsked and sighed as he let his eyes drift downward:
”April 25th, cultivate my body, go fishing in Swan Lake, and hopefully one day, catch a mermaid back from the sea.
”Hey, I’ve been a bit depraved lately, I need to get my act together and invent more stuff, I can’t leave a void! Since I’ve traveled across the trip, I have to brand this era with my mark!”
…… Great Emperor, it’s better for you to fall down …… Klein’s mouth twitched slightly, not wanting to comment.
Then, he calmly looked at the last diary entry on the last page of the paper:
”On April 26th, Charatu came over for a visit, and I deliberately sought the opportunity to ask what a miracle was.
”He asked me in return, What do you think?
”Do I think? There is only one kind of miracle I have in mind, and that is a civilizational wonder! For example, the Dusk Giant Hall of the Forsak Empire, the former residence of the Giant King Olmir.
”Charatu finally replied positively.
”What is a miracle,” he said?
”To come back from the dead is a miracle!”
