By the way, this seems to be Backlund's newspaper office, right?
Leaving Casey and looking at the frame of the newspaper, Gray Lint was a little confused. His only impression of this small newspaper was that when Sharmila was still in Backlund a few years ago, she often subscribed out of curiosity.
In his newspaper, they often write headlines in an eye-catching way, but in reality they are often just trivial matters.
…………
On the other side, Klein was hired by reporter Mike Joseph last week. He had just gone to the Golden Rose to interview a friend of a murdered woman, and asked him about the "Tulip Newspaper" by the way.
Reprinted from the Tetnik Daily News of the Southern Continent?
The Southern Continent is a colonial area, and racial discrimination there is quite serious. If you publish such an article in a place like that, you are probably not deliberately initiating unrest, right?
When he got the news from the Tulip newspaper, Klein was stunned for a moment, and then he sniffed out something keenly.
Immediately afterwards, when he consciously searched for adjacent issues of Tetnik Daily, he undoubtedly found three other articles.
"This must be a 'traveler'... and he's probably a fellow from my big foodie empire!"
Although he was 90% sure before, as words such as "class" and "exploitation" appeared one after another, Klein undoubtedly became more confident in his previous guess.
"Then start planning to go to the Southern Continent now? No, no, I neither have sufficient funds nor master the language of the Bailang area... Traveling on a budget is unrealistic!
"And my sequence level is too low. I actually lack the ability to deal with crises. I can't even deal with a small group of pirates.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Emperor has just returned from the Southern Continent. Is there any news from him?"
With such expectations, Klein found the address of "Graylint Mariano" and came to Queens on Monday afternoon...
…………
Gray Lint was just getting ready for his lunch break.
"Sir, there is a young man looking for you at the door. He claims to be your friend Sherlock Moriarty."
Klein?
Gray Lint felt a little strange, nodded and told Harsh:
"Invite him to the chat room and tell him I will be there right away."
"yes."
In the chat room, when Gray Linte arrived, the servants had already prepared refreshments.
"Good afternoon, Sherlock, why did you find me suddenly? Is there anything urgent?"
While greeting, Gray Lint dismissed the servant.
Klein was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered that the middle class and nobles would often submit invitations before a formal visit, unless the relationship was very close, or the situation was special or urgent.
"Uh, sorry for bothering you."
"It's okay, I'm free anyway." Gray Linte shook his head and said.
Klein calmed down, took a sip of coffee, added sugar cubes to it, and said:
"I wanted to ask, do you know a man named Donald Dean?"
Gray Lint: "..."
He is sitting in front of you now!
Hey, it’s really strange. Why are you all looking for Donald all of a sudden?
"Of course I know the author of those shocking articles... Well, what are you looking for him for?"
When asked again and again, Gray Lint actually knew very well that Klein just wanted to find other living time travellers.
Sure enough, I know! Today is not in vain!
Klein was secretly excited and compiled on the spot:
"Well, I think his views are very interesting, so I want to get to know him."
Gray Linte shook his head:
"Then you have found the wrong person... Many people in the Southern Continent know Donald, and I, like them, only know one name."
Perhaps because he felt that telling lies with his eyes open like this made his conscience uneasy, Gray Linte added:
"If you want to find him through conventional means, it probably won't work... As far as I know, those articles were published in the Southern Continent almost at the same time, and signed with this unknown name... In other words,
The people behind it must have realized that they were going to cause a stir, and it's possible that Donald Dean was just a pseudonym."
Klein paused for a moment:
"There are so many newspapers in the Southern Continent, with different political tendencies, cultural customs, and visions, and they actually publish them at the same time?"
This must probably be accomplished by a very powerful extraordinary person, right? If it were purely about power or interest, it should be impossible to convince multiple newspapers under the rule of different colonial powers.
Fake name, sudden identity, no contact with other people, powerful extraordinary person... How can I check this?
Gray Lint nodded and said:
"That's right...and you may not know that Loen has also been conducting a strict investigation on this person recently...I think the same is true for Intis! So if you insist on looking for him, you will probably be attacked.
Influence on other aspects besides itself.”
"That's it."
From this point of view, it is not feasible to go directly to the Southern Continent!
Klein's voice was so low that it was almost a whisper, and his disappointment was palpable.
For lying to Klein in this way, Gray Lint felt somewhat uneasy - it wasn't because of his conscience, it was just that he was destined to lose his horse in front of Klein in the future. If this matter aroused his dissatisfaction, then the gain would outweigh the loss.
So he changed the subject and lowered his voice:
"But...Mr. World, you have just joined the Tarot Club. Have you ever learned about my situation from The Fool?"
ah?
Klein was at a loss for a few seconds before he finally realized what Graylint was talking about was that he believed in the "Lord of Order" and was his favored one.
Wait, Lord of Order? He once called me "Mysterious"!
Vaguely, Klein felt as if he had grasped something.
He nodded decisively and said:
"certainly!"
Gray Linte smiled with satisfaction:
"Then, all my above words are invalid."
"ah?"
Klein was stunned again, "Are you kidding me?"
"Well, I am telling you the above situation as 'Graylinte Mariano'... there is only so much that he can know and should know.
"And now that you know that I am also a believer of the 'Lord of Order', the situation is different."
Wait, Gray Lint? He? Is the Viscount's mental state really okay?
Calmly, he swallowed.
And since you know the inside story and have no intention of hiding it from me, why do you go to all the trouble to talk to me in two identities?
"Can you please give me some advice?"
Klein took a sip of coffee slightly uneasily.
Gray Lint shook his head and said:
"It's too inconvenient for me to reveal to you.
"But if you just want to ask about the source of those opinions and opinions, rather than being obsessed with Donald Dean, I think I, as a believer in our Lord, have an obligation to tell you:
"Those things are all the teachings of my Lord."
"Lord of Order?"
Klein opened his mouth, and the name of God he was about to pronounce was stuck in his throat.
Unexpectedly, after going around in a circle, the clues came back to this true god... So, in addition to Huang Tao, who was assassinated in the White Maple Palace and whose life and death are unknown, another time traveler actually also became a true god? Hmm... I..."
"The Fool" is also a true god on the surface... Of course, Russell has diaries to prove that he is indeed a time traveler who grew up from a weakling. However, the "Lord of Order" may not actually be so. He is a true god when he appears.
What other ways are there to know the knowledge about my previous life? It may not be impossible for the true God to obtain the knowledge of "another world", right?
In addition, at that moment, Klein actually had another guess, that is, the "Lord of Order" might actually be the "mastermind" who allowed Huang Tao and himself to travel through time... But he gave up this guess in an instant, because "
The "Lord of Order" once called him "Secret", and he didn't seem to know his own details very well.
When it comes to the true God, it can be said that the clues have been broken again.
Klein has not yet had the courage to face the evil god of unknown origin. Well, as long as he is not one of the seven righteous gods, he can be considered an evil god in a broad sense.
Although the teachings of this "Lord of Order" seem quite advanced... But this does not prove his divine status. The teachings of the "True Creator" also look similar!
Klein's thoughts are spinning here, and Gray Lint is also thinking wildly.
He was wondering whether to tell Klein the truth about "travelling" in advance, and gave up on his idea of "going home".
"In this case, he still has no 'divinity' at all. After he has given up the idea of going home, he might still have the opportunity to settle down and marry a wife?... How can falling in love be as fun as saving the world? Besides, if I
If I remember correctly, in the 'original book', when Klein assumed that he could not go back in the middle and lower sequences, he also had the idea of starting a family, purchasing real estate, and a manor.
"And now he no longer has the psychological pressure of 'revenge'... From this point of view, there is a lot to be done!"
He speculated in his heart full of bad taste.
"First of all, thank you for your trust, Mr. Emperor. I promise you that I will never tell anyone else what happened today."
Klein assured himself very consciously.
He knew with his hypothalamus that the Lord of Order secretly preached "racial equality", "anti-colonial oppression", and "anti-class exploitation" must have an agenda. And since he is only acting secretly now, then the "Emperor"
"Mr.'s partial confession to himself is a sign of great trust... At the same time, he also wanted to understand why Gray Linte had to use "two identities" to talk to him. It was to keep himself confidential.
Gray Linte smiled with satisfaction:
"So, do you still want to continue to pursue the source of those opinions? Haha, I can see that they are more than just 'very interesting' to you."
"Forehead……"
Klein was choked and continued:
"This is exactly the second point I want to make. I still want to understand their origin...but unfortunately, I cannot believe in the 'Lord of Order' because I am actually a believer of Mr. Fool."
He didn't want to give up this clue that could solve all his confusions, but he was also afraid that Gray Lint might make him believe in the evil god, so he took the lead in blocking this possibility - this excuse was because Gray Lint refused to believe in "The Fool" before.
Moved out at that time.
At the same time, he claims to be a believer of "The Fool", and another benefit is that he can achieve identity equivalence to a certain extent with Gray Lint, the "Lord of Order's Favorite", which will be more conducive to the relationship between them.
The "Emperor" knew early on that "The Fool" was at the top of the "Soothsayers", so he most likely had similar assumptions about his relationship with "The Fool".
Gray Lint didn't know about these little things like Klein, so he nodded calmly:
"It doesn't matter, I can ask our Lord for revelation on your behalf."
So easy to talk to?
Klein was stunned for half a second, then reacted immediately, stood up, pressed his hand on his chest, and bowed:
“I would be grateful!”
He would never have imagined the evil intentions of Gray Linte.
Klein's exaggerated reaction was something Grallint didn't expect. It made him suspect that there was a conspiracy, and he didn't want to appear too attentive, so he waved his hand with a smile and explained:
"You don't have to be so polite. It's just a small matter to me. My lord treats his servants very kindly and is not as harsh as those righteous gods."
"Why is this? Doesn't He care about the majesty of the gods?"
Klein asked curiously.
If we say that "The Fool" is kind, it is because "The Fool" is just pretending. He is not a real god and has no dignity at all. But what about the "Lord of Order"? Could it be that he is also pretending?
Klein was almost amused by his own thoughts.
Gray Linte showed Adam's indifferent yet inscrutable look again, and said with seemingly profound meaning:
"The gods and gods are also different, well, in terms of levels... You already know that the true gods are actually just sequence 0 and may be 'blasphemed'. Therefore, they need to promote their greatness and that gods cannot be tempted.
, don't speculate, don't offend... In fact, in my opinion, it's just 'pretending to be profound'.
"And our Lord is an existence beyond the sequence, a truly great one.
“Whether our Lord is generous or harsh, whether he is famous or hidden, whether he is praised or slandered, His majesty is always there. As for the eyes of ordinary people, whether it is praise or disgrace, it is nothing to Him.
It’s meaningless.”
Beyond the sequence, the true great!
It is undeniable that Klein was indeed taken aback. However, when he calmed down, he felt that these words were more like the believer's self-bragging, used to increase his worth.
However, it does seem to make sense?
True greatness should be transcendent, so why should we respect our dignity?
Klein shook his head. He had something to ask for, and of course it was hard to refute the other person's face. He could only follow his words and continued:
"Transcendence Sequence? Isn't that the Creator?" Then he remembered that he was now a believer in "The Fool", so he pretended to be dissatisfied and added: "Then in your opinion, Mr. 'Fool' is also nothing.
'Just sequence 0?"
Gray Linte was still smiling. He knew that Klein was performing, so he didn't mind his attitude:
"The transcendent sequence may not be the Creator, but the Creator is indeed beyond the sequence."
After saying something about the wheel, he continued to speak pointedly:
"As for the 'Fool'? Maybe it's not just the Fool? You have to know that a god does not necessarily have only one identity... According to our Lord's opinion, the more suitable name for Him should be 'Mysterious'!"
He also pretended to be a devout believer and believed deeply in the "Lord of Order".
Klein was suddenly stunned.
