"Pity, Green died in the Misty Sea. He was the smartest of us all."
"Let it fall into chaos, let chaos reign! Only when everything is completely chaotic can I have the chance to fish in troubled waters! Only when the Sauron family can no longer control the situation will the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun be forced to hold its nose and acknowledge me!"
"Perhaps I should give some help to those rebels, but how can I do it secretly, without anyone noticing?"

What came next? Klein was curious about the purpose of the Secret Order's leader, Zaratul, visiting Roselle on the eve of the rebellion and coup, but was disappointed to find that the following two pages of notes had nothing to do with it.
This made it difficult for him to suppress a surge of frustration.
Although these three diary entries did not have many detailed descriptions and were just straightforward narratives by the person involved, they still allowed Klein to feel the surging undercurrents of the famous Intis incident in 1173, over a hundred years ago.
History textbooks clearly recorded the result: Roselle, in his capacity as a Colonel, quelled the rebellion, took the opportunity to stage a coup, changed the Kingdom of Intis into the Republic of Intis, and established himself as the Consul.
In the following 19 years, he reformed the legal code, encouraged inventions, escorted the Industrial Revolution, greatly enhanced the country's strength, and fought wars north and south, bringing Loën, Masi, Segar, and other countries under his protection, forcing the three great powers of the Northern Continent—the
Just before he reached the 20th year of his consulship, at the end of 1192, Roselle changed the Republic into an Empire and proclaimed himself Emperor.
Less than six years later, he fell in the White Maple Palace, ending the most legendary period of history so far in the Fifth Epoch.
Klein recalled the materials he had read and felt more and more that Roselle's death was absolutely not as simple as it appeared on the surface, just as behind this famous incident there must have been a struggle between Beyonders, a rebalancing of supernatural forces, which would not be the same as the description in the textbooks.
"'Green,' one of Roselle's so-called 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,' really did die in the Misty Sea... In a previous diary entry, Roselle recorded this 'Horseman's' strangeness, which seemed to be related to the island they discovered that was home to many supernatural creatures... Not just an adventure, but also dangerous..." Klein connected it to a previous record, sighed, and turned to the fifth page of the diary.
The content recorded on this page was not very valuable. It was Roselle's review after drinking the 1128
The sixth page was mostly similar daily life, but the last line caught Klein's eye: "April 8th. I must send someone to investigate the Secret Order, to gather more information. I can no longer repeat the previous passivity. I can no longer let Zaratul lead me by the nose."
So, did you find anything, Comrade Roselle? Klein couldn't find any follow-up content, so he could only force himself to calm down and wait for the 'Hanged Man' to submit the other six pages at the next gathering.
He knew that the investigation materials from over a hundred years ago were mostly unlikely to help him find clues related to the Secret Order. After all, with such a long time having passed, aside from some special individuals, many high-sequence Beyonders were probably already dead, let alone the lower and middle ranks. But Klein believed this could help him gain inspiration and grasp the public identities and activity patterns that the Secret Order habitually used.
Putting down those six pages of the diary, Klein tapped his right index finger lightly on the edge of the bronze long table, slowly shifting his gaze from Miss "Justice" to the "Hanged Man," and then to "The Sun."
Oh, by the way, in the diary just now, Emperor Roselle had a description: "The Lord who created all things, the Almighty God." This is very close to the habits of the
Hmm... Suddenly, Klein had a new thought and chuckled in a low, calm voice: "Roselle mentioned some hidden history in his diary, and mentioned some simple common sense. The latter made me realize that I don't seem to have told you about it."
Audrey was suddenly stunned, then quickly half-turned her body and looked at the top of the ancient long table with surprise. "Mr. Fool" is taking the initiative to talk about Roselle's diary? What could be recorded in it? She was both agitated and excited, completely forgetting she was a "Spectator."
Compared to her, "Hanged Man" Alger was much more composed, but his unconscious straightening of his back ruthlessly betrayed him.
"The Sun" Derrick had always believed that the items Mr. Fool was interested in must contain many mysteries, but he did not know about Emperor Roselle, nor what this name represented in the Northern Continent. Therefore, he was merely curious and did not show any abnormal behavior.
"'Mr. Fool,' what kind of common sense did Emperor Roselle mention? I can pay a reward in exchange for this news." Audrey couldn't help but ask.
But, I request a private exchange! She silently added in her heart.
Klein chuckled lightly and said: "No need. It's all simple common sense. Seeing this part of the diary, as the convener of the
