The Faceless Man Chapter 178 – Russell the Navigator
I know …… “Justice” Audrey’s eyes were half turned, her chin lifted slightly, and she happily cast her gaze diagonally forward to one of the stone pillars that supported the dome.
She quickly withdrew her gaze, ready to enjoy Mr. Hangman’s reaction to the answer.
”Forsythe the Magician, on the other hand, vaguely understood something:
The so-called Roselle’s Diary could be exchanged for answers to certain questions from Mr. Fool, and perhaps even for items!
”Rossel’s diary? Rossel’s notes written in unique symbols that no one else can read? They’re diaries? ‘The Inverted Man’ sounded certain, and Mr. ‘Fool’ didn’t retort ……
”I’ve come across so many of them, but have not bought them because I wasn’t interested, ah yes, Miss Audrey has quite a few there! She’s an avid fan of the subject! But, but, that dog of hers chewed up a lot of books and notes last week, no, maybe it was last week, I don’t remember exactly, anyway, and that included all of Roselle the Great’s diaries!”
The sudden surprise and the disappointment that came with it filled Forsyth’s mind, making her want to raise her hands, cover her ears, and scream at the top of her lungs.
It was not enough to express her feelings at that moment without doing so!
I hate dogs! “Magician,” Folth thought hatefully.
”The inverted hangman’s request was rather unexpected by Klein, but for him it was of the easiest kind to accomplish, so he let out a low chuckle and said:
”Can.
”Do you want everyone to hear it, or just yourself to know?”
”The Inverted Man,” replied Alger, without hesitation:
”Only yourself.”
He wasn’t selfless.
Klein smiled and blocked the senses of the rest of the members, which made Miss Justice very aggravated, and she was waiting to see the stunned and shocked expression on the face of Mr. “Inverted Man”, as if she had done something great, although she would not advertise it voluntarily, she was looking forward to the reaction of the others when they knew about it. It was as if he had done something great, and although he would not publicize it, he was looking forward to the reaction of others.
But now, the damn “hanging man” deprived me of this joy! Audrey muttered in her heart.
Of course, she knew that the other party’s request was absolutely justified.
But I already know the answer ah …… she pursed her lips thought.
At that moment, Klein leisurely turned the blasphemous card over and stood it up, so that the “inverted man” could directly see Rossel in black armor, wearing a crown and a cape on it.
The portrait of the Emperor was often seen, and Alger was not unfamiliar with it, and recognized it immediately, and more importantly, the card had a bright logo on it:
”Sequence 0, Black Emperor!”
Sure enough! It was the deck of cards rumored to have been made by Rossel the Great that hid the pathways of the gods, the so-called prototype of the tarot cards! Sequence 0, “The Black Emperor” …… This one corresponds to the Lawyer’s path to godhood? Mr. “Fool” has been collecting Rossel’s diary, it seems to be in order to look for the clues of the deck of cards, and only a few months, and k has already got a …… Alger was surprised, happy, excited and thrilled.
Suddenly, he inexplicably felt that the future of the “Tarot Club” is incredibly bright.
Previously, he was only intimidated by the mystery and power of Mr. “Fool”, the so-called “Tarot Club” only holds the purpose of exchanging information and goods, but now, he began to imagine that Rossel the Great’s cards were collected by Mr. “Fool” one by one, but now, he started to think about the “Tarot Club”. But now, he began to think of the benefits that he and the other members of the Tarot Club could obtain after Rosier the Great’s cards were collected by Mr. “Fool” one by one.
In time, the Tarot Society would become perhaps the most powerful secretive organization of all! “Alger could not help but look into the future.
At that moment, Klein spoke slowly:
”Blasphemous Sign.”
He instantly lifted the shield.
As soon as she regained her senses, Audrey “Justice” immediately cast her eyes towards the “Inverted Man”, and through the blurred image, she vaguely “read” the other party’s residual feelings of shock, joy, and longing. The “inverted man” is a man who has been in a state of shock, joy and yearning.
That’s the way …… Audrey instantly gained great satisfaction.
”The Blasphemous Tablet”…… is really related to the Blasphemous Tablet……” Inverted man” Alger bowed his head for a few seconds of contemplation, began to materialize the newly obtained three pages of Roselle’s diary.
Soon, the three pieces of yellowish-brown parchment came into Kraven’s hands.
He lowered his gaze in a seemingly casual manner and read them unhurriedly:
”On the 15th of March, I was indeed the protagonist, and with only a few archaeological clues and folklore rumors, I found a ghost ship left over from Solomon’s Empire, the ancient ‘Black Throne’, near the Oradek Islands on the edge of the Sea of Mists!
”It was really pulling its weight!
”There were some ancient books on it, including a treasure map pointing to some nameless island, the last settlement of a certain great nobleman of the Solomon Empire who had left the northern continent in defeat, and everything he had left behind was there!
”This treasure shall be mine!”
”On the nineteenth of March, after much deliberation and weighing, I finally decided to take a voyage to sea, after which I was to enter the Kingdom Army as an officer, and would hardly be able to do so again.
”Edwards and Green and the others were willing to follow me on that adventure through the misty ocean.
”In fact, I’m not purely for the treasure, I also want to verify a question, from the sun, to the red moon, from the trajectory of the stars moving in the sky, to the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter, all the indications and different data proves that this world I’m in should be a planet, since this is the case it shouldn’t have only the north and south continents, deducing from all the various data the north and south continents take up an area that adds up to are less than ten percent of this planet, other places are just oceans, only islands?
”To the west of the North Continent is the Sea of Mists, and to the east is the Sunia Sea, I suspect that at the end of these two oceans, there are other continents, just like the end of the Sea of Berserkers is the South Continent, maybe I can discover a whole new continent, the West Continent!
”Depart, great navigator Rossel Columbus Magellan Gustav, to verify your conjecture!”
The great emperor was really reckless when he was young, just relying on a treasure map that he didn’t know whether it was real or not, and it wasn’t clear what dangers were hidden, he dared to go on a sea voyage, no, he was just as reckless when he was old, and the “profane card” was the evidence …… Klein couldn’t help but bellyache a couple of times.
This page of diary and the page he had read before seemed to be able to link together, at most one or two other diaries in the middle, so Klein was roughly sure that Russell in this voyage, because of the lost, found a primitive island located outside the safe channel, on which there are a lot of transcendent creatures, in the process, he also used the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” and the “Sea Horseman” to find the island. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” and “The King of Thieves”, and in the process, he teases Grimm and Edwards, who follow him on his voyage.
In addition, Grimm, who Russell praises as the smartest of us all, gets weirder and weirder as he discovers the pristine island and eventually dies on the Misty Sea.
That said, the idea that this world is a planet is now widely recognized and confirmed by astronomy …… Klein turned to the second page of his journal:
”On April 18th, I found the term ‘Western Continent’ in those ancient texts of the ‘Black Throne’!
”There really is a Western Continent!
”But even in the Fourth Age, in the Empire of Solomon, when the gods still walked the earth, the Western Continent was only a rumor, said to be the home of the elves, involving that ancient god called Sunyasolem.
”But the thing is, it was the island of Sunia that the elves ended up stranded on, and the various islands scattered throughout the depths and over the seas afterward, and there were never any legends of them attempting to return to their homeland.
”In short, there could be a western continent at the end of the Sea of Mists, a homeland for the elves, but what about the end of the Sunia Sea? Is there really an eastern continent? In what mere words of the mythological texts is it hidden? Could it be the nebulous ‘Godforsaken Land’?
”Keep moving forward, Rossel, you’re about to reach your destination!”
West Continent, East Continent …… Rossel guessed that the latter might be the ‘God Forsaken Land’ …… By the way, the ‘Inverted Hanging Man’ Mr. “Hanging Man” once said that many members of the Aurora Society were searching for the “Sanctuary” of the “Real Creator” on the Sunia Sea, and he suspected that the “Sanctuary” was the “Godforsaken Land”. “God’s Forsaken Land”…… This is a little close to what Emperor Rossel had in mind …… There are still many, many secrets in this world… …Klein’s gaze shifted down to the last few small paragraphs of the page:
”On April 20th, all signs point to the fact that we are about to arrive at a landmass, a landmass that is not an island!
”There’s this benefit to getting lost? Could it be that I will discover the so-called Western Continent?”
”On April 21st, I saw the Abyss.”
The Abyss? Roselle saw the abyss, was it the abyss in the occult sense? Klein’s pupils shrunk, and he hurriedly turned the page.
But the third page of the diary made him doubt his life and his years of Chinese education.
It was heavily filled with the following statements:
”Ah day Hu hunger invited people inside the mansion.”
This …… Klein understood at once, this page should be a later forgery of Russell’s diary, they according to the original “symbols”, their own haphazardly put together a bunch of sentences.
At this instant, Klein was like seeing a garbled code, and had the urge to curse those counterfeiters.
He wanted to make sure that the abyss mentioned in Russell’s diary was not the “abyss” pointed to by terms such as “the source of all evil”, “the land of the fallen” and “the abode of demons”. “Abyss”.
The true “abyss” is the dark side of the universe where even the gods are corrupted, and it should be independent of the real world like the spirit world, at least that’s what the Book of Secrets and the canonical books I’ve come across in the Nightwatchman’s Squad before have said. …… If it’s not the true “abyss”, then it’s not the true “abyss”. “Abyss”, then what does the Abyss that the Great Emperor wants to say refer to? Klein couldn’t get an explanation even after repeated thoughts, and his heart was extremely upset, just like a novel that had been chasing more and more, eunuching at the most critical time.
With a sweeping glance, he calmed down and let the diary disappear into his hand.
”You may begin.” He chuckled softly as he sat at the top of the long bronze table.
Alger “The Inverted Man” instantly turned his head sideways and looked toward “The Sun”, asking as if he didn’t really care:
”Did you hear anything from the former leader of the questing team?”
