Chapter 207 The “Fool” is Roselle!
"Fors, Xiu, this is Freni. I'm really sorry to bother you today.
“I was originally planning to treat you to a meal at Serenzo Restaurant, but it’s obvious that Klein’s cooking skills appeal to me more.” Old Blue put down his cane and said after hanging up his coat.
"It's not a problem. It's not a problem at all! It's all Klein who's busying around...
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Freni. I'm Fors Wall, and she's Hugh Dilcha. Welcome..." Fors' throat was a little dry. Klein had received a letter in an incredible way before, and then he discussed with them: Old Blue and a lady wanted to invite them out for dinner, but in order to express their gratitude, they wanted to invite them here to enjoy the lunch they made.
Of course Fors and Xio agreed immediately! They had wanted to treat Old Blue to a meal for a long time!
However, after Klein finished replying, Fors suddenly saw the royal emblem on the envelope Klein was holding... Damn it! All her attention had been drawn to the bone "safe" before!
After further questioning, she was completely stunned. The lady who was going to come with her was actually an Augustus! A member of the royal family was actually going to come to the "shabby" house rented here to eat the "ordinary" lunch of the citizens!
Freni smiled and walked forward, holding Fors's hand and said to the two of them:
"Don't be so formal. You may not remember, but we are old acquaintances. Just call me Freni, Fors, Xiu."
Ah? How is that possible! Fors was still nervous. The most noble woman he had ever met was Miss Audrey! And that was based on her strong curiosity about the extraordinary world! Royal family... This word means that there is nothing they can't get in Loen and Backlund!
How could I have done this... Suddenly, Fors felt something moving on her left wrist. She looked down and found that the "teleportation" bracelet that should have stayed on her wrist was gone! No! It wasn't gone, it appeared on Ms. Freni's wrist!
"Stealing is prohibited here. Xiao Fu, don't do things that you shouldn't do." Old Blue slammed Xiao Fu on the head. He didn't issue an order in the manner of a "judge" who was shepherding the sheep. He just spoke casually in Loenese.
“Ouch! I was just kidding! Yes, it was just a joke!” Xiao Fu covered her head with her left hand and gently swung her right hand. The bracelet with three green stones returned to its original position along the slender hands she and Fors were holding. “See, now they won’t be so afraid of me…”
Huh? Fors was stunned. Before he could get angry, the bracelet came back! And... the interaction between Old Blue and this Augustus... why was it so casual? And Old Blue was the one who took the lead!
And... why does this scene look familiar? Suddenly, she remembered the last time the bracelet was lost! It was also when Old Blue came to visit her home, but that time the bracelet ran into the neck of the mouse decoration on the old man's shoulder, and Old Blue even gently tapped the mouse's head!
Hiss! Is this Augustus also a Beyonder? Her ability is to control animals? She was watching us from the perspective of a mouse! That's why she said: We are old acquaintances!
Fors quietly pulled out her left hand. She had been worried about what would happen if she angered the royal family members... But now it seemed that Old Blue and the other party had a relationship that was closer than "cooperation"!
At this time, Klein walked out of the kitchen, wiping his hands with an apron and greeting with a smile:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Blue, Ms. Freni! Please come in and sit for a while. We have a few dishes that will take some time..."
Old Bruce's eyes lit up, and he walked towards the kitchen and said:
"Oh, no need to bother, just eat whatever you want. Hmm, what other dishes are there? Do you want me to go out and buy some more ingredients?
"By the way, I'll go help in the kitchen. Xiao Fu, you, Fors, and Xio can go sit in the living room for a while."
"Okay!" Freni walked towards the living room in a familiar manner, while Fors and Xio fell behind her.
Xio's expression was serious. He didn't even notice Fors's hint. He walked back to the living room with stiff steps and hand and foot together...
Freni sat on the couch, saw the nervous blond Hugh, and remembered what old Blue had described to her, and said:
"Xiu, come, sit next to me. By the way, did you know that because of your activeness, the military brass are thinking of recruiting you into the army?"
……
"Mr. Blue, I can handle it. Why don't you take a break?" Klein persuaded Old Blue when he saw him wearing an apron.
Old Bruce picked up the fried French fries beside him and chewed two of them.
“Well, there are three ladies over there, and I can’t fit in with that kind of environment.
"These dishes are rare. Did Emperor Roselle invent 'stir-frying'? Oh, your ancestor was really a great man..."
Klein's right hand trembled violently as he flipped the spoon. What a sin! He lied that he was a descendant of Roselle, and Old Blue remembered it just like that! Uh... At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Old Blue claimed to be an Intis person at the Extraordinary Party at the Brave Bar and helped him buy a "male companion"... Maybe it wasn't a coincidence!
"Yes, this dish is spicy diced chicken, as well as hot and sour shredded potatoes, husband and wife lung slices, tomato and egg, candied noodles, and radish meeting. I restored all of them based on the flavors in my family's classics and memories... Unfortunately, most of those classics have been lost..." Klein was telling the truth. Classics = Roselle's diary, and memories refer to memories on Earth!
What the hell? Old Blue forced himself to hold back his expression. What was this? Was he holding a meeting with me? Was he trying to signal me? I wouldn't take it!
"Well... after the assassination of the great emperor, his descendants will indeed be treated unfairly... but he may not have died. "As for the classics, perhaps I can think of a way." Before he finished speaking, Old Blue bit his index finger while eating French fries, squeezed out two drops of spiritual blood, and recited softly:
"I!
"I call in my name:
"A spirit wandering in the void, a friendly creature that can be commanded, and a messenger that belongs exclusively to Blue."
Whoosh! A gust of cold wind blew away the two drops of blood, and along with it came a safe messenger made of stacked bones. It was quite large, so most of it was in an illusory state and embedded in the wall.
Then, Old Blue reached out and opened the door, took out a stack of papers from inside, waved his hand to make the safe disappear, turned around and casually handed the things to Klein, saying:
"This is the Roselle Notes from the Steam Church that I got from Ikanser. There are also a dozen pages that I found from Storm. Well, I feel that some of the characters on them are very similar to the word "home" inherited from my family, but I can't understand the others at all. I'd better give them to you. Maybe you can get something from them.
"Also, that being is also collecting these notes. Oh, they're not notes, they're 'diaries'...
"You can write down the contents and dedicate these 'diaries' to Him... After that, you should be able to have an official code name."
Huh?! Klein quickly put down the spoon and pot and took the thick notebook, which was covered with twisted and scribbled Chinese characters:
"On December 16, we contacted the poor fellow who was trapped in the depths of the storm and lost in the darkness.
"He calls himself Mr. Door..."
Hiss! Roselle's diary! A thick stack of Roselle's diary!
Klein's face showed an unconcealable joy. This thing was useless waste paper to others, but to him it was a collection of jokes and a book of knowledge! It was like a "strategy" given by a senior time traveler to the next generation!
At the same time, he felt a surge of warmth and touched. When Old Blue asked Ikanser for Roselle's diary a few days ago, Klein wanted it too, but considering that Old Blue would definitely give it to the Fool, he didn't ask. It would just be a few days later anyway.
But Klein never expected that Old Blue would not give it to The Fool in exchange for a "gift", but would give it to himself, the younger generation, so that he could gain the qualification to join the Tarot Club!
Klein suddenly remembered that the time he pretended to be summoned to the Kingdom of God by the Fool, he did not get a code name because he had a test mission!
After that, the Tarot Club still had no new members, so Old Blue thought that he had failed the test mission? But he did not ask about it, but quietly found the chips that the Fool was interested in, in exchange for a seat!
This... Hey, I want to join the Tarot Club, but I have no other choice! Is it really possible to let the Clown with the Covered Face control the "Fool"? Wouldn't the gray fog cause chaos?
[“Believe me, you have to believe me!”]
Before he could speak, Old Blue continued:
“Actually, I have a feeling that perhaps the person above the gray fog is… your ancestor, Emperor Roselle.
"Hush! Let's stop talking about this topic right now. Talking nonsense about God once is the limit. Twice may lead to punishment."
[“Hahaha, hahaha! I don’t want to be a fool anymore. I can be Roselle now, right?”]
“…” Klein opened his mouth but was unable to explain. He felt mixed emotions. How could the innocent Mr. Fool become the Yellow Waste Russell!?
"Maybe, maybe? I haven't seen the emperor in person either..." Klein said hesitantly. He glanced at Roselle's diary again and said:
"Uh, I can't understand this kind of text either... Oh, I forgot to tell you that I have completed the task that Mr. Fool assigned to me! To be honest, it was actually related to Lanevus... Just this morning, I got my own seat.
"So, take back these diaries. You can give them to the Fool yourself... um..."
As soon as he finished saying this, Klein immediately realized that there was a big trap! With so many diaries, what price would The Fool have to pay in exchange? He couldn't afford it at all! What if Old Blue asked for 10,000 pounds... The Fool would dance for you right there!
"Already joined? Great!" Old Blue had a sincere smile on his face. He took a step forward, took the spatula and flipped the food in the pan to prevent it from burning, and said:
"But you can keep the 'diary'. You have just joined the organization, and the best way to quickly integrate into it is to demonstrate your strength, connections, and channels. These diaries can help you, and I have passed that stage.
"Don't refuse. This thing has no value at all in the hands of people like us who can't understand it... It's all for fools. It doesn't matter who does it."
Klein was a little embarrassed. As a chef, he actually forgot about the pot and shovel on the fire because of other things! Unforgivable! Then he tightly grasped the thick Russell diary and said:
"Yes! I will definitely live up to your expectations! I'll go put these diaries away and come back!"
