Chapter 463 The Miscalculation of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom
The space above the gray fog trembled, automatically soothing Klein's injuries, but the lingering phantom pain still made him shudder. He grimaced and rubbed his head, "That really fucking hurts!"
This is no less intense than staring directly at the eternal blazing sun back then!
I didn't even get a clear look at the dark figure, and I didn't gain any knowledge!
He must be Angelweid, one of the eight ancient gods who ruled the world in legend!
According to the information provided by "The Sun," it should have been destroyed by the reawakened Creator at the end of the Second Era. The fact that it paid such a heavy price for merely glancing at Him demonstrates the immense power He possessed.
After using a little over a minute to relieve his headache, Klein compared the current gods with the legendary ancient gods and felt that the difference was not just a little bit.
After regaining his senses, Klein picked up the notebook on the table, his gaze deep as he fell into deep thought.
He was no longer the clueless Klein from the original story. While he was in Backlund, he had already pieced together the truth behind the theft of 008 and the Tingen incident through Evan's earlier hints.
It was precisely because he had basically figured out the truth of those things that he harbored resentment towards the Goddess of Night and was wary of the Angel King, who was another "viewer".
Knowing that the notebook in his hand might have been made by the Imaginary Dragon, Angelweid, he now had some guesses about why Evan wanted it. Ultimately, it was related to the Envoy's Hand that the audience had passed through.
To be honest, Klein was now really reluctant to hand over this notebook to Evan, because this notebook was really useful. Not only could it help him realize a little wish hidden in his heart in the future—to find an opportunity to trick that audience member—but it could also help him through the Angel King, for all the innocent people who died because of him.
It is more likely to help him offset the influence of 008 and help him complete his revenge against Ince Zangwell. Things in the same sequence or adjacent sequences always produce a counteracting effect when they collide.
But after a brief internal struggle, Klein decided to honor the deal that had just been made and hand the notebook over to Evan.
This transaction is related to his subsequent rise.
Evan made it very clear that Ince Zangwill was planning another promotion, and with the help of 008 and the Furst Empire, he was very likely to succeed.
Three months later, a war happened to provide him with an environment for promotion.
Therefore, as long as Klein still wants revenge, time is already extremely tight.
Within these three months, he not only had to digest the "Master of Puppets" potion, but also prepare all the necessary materials for concocting the "Trickster" potion. In addition, he had to select appropriate targets and complete the preliminary preparations for the hunt.
Even if he really does complete all of this within three months, there's no guarantee that he will actually succeed in becoming a demigod.
The leap from mortal to demigod may seem like merely a step from Sequence 5 to Sequence 4, but it is an insurmountable barrier that has blocked countless people. Ince Zangwill is the latest example, while Evan is not representative.
Klein still feels lingering fear when he thinks back to the thrilling moment a few days ago when he was promoted to "Master of Mystic Puppet".
Even if he were to successfully ascend to demigod status, Klein would still pray in his heart that Ince Zangwill had not completed his ascension within the next three months.
Otherwise, he would still have to face Ince Zangwell of Sequence 3, and the revenge would increase exponentially.
So Klein really doesn't have time to wait any longer!
And there was another reason that ultimately prompted Klein to decide to complete a deal.
That is, through spending so much time together, Klein gradually began to truly understand Evan as a person.
For some reason, Evan actually felt very insecure and always kept a certain distance from everything around him, remaining on guard.
People like this are more sensitive to forces that threaten them, but to which they have no power to resist.
Therefore, Klein's judgment that Evan wanted this notebook was more inclined to believe that he wanted a handle to deal with the Angel King.
This also aligns with Klein's deep-seated desire to cause trouble for that chess player.
Evan is stronger than me, knows more secrets than me, and is in a position that allows him to mobilize more resources. If he wants to cause trouble for that Angel King, he can obviously do it better than I can!
In addition to the two reasons mentioned above, there was one last reason that prompted Klein to make the trade decision.
That is, the timing of this book coming into his hands was just too coincidental.
Since the Tingen and Backlund incidents, Klein has become very sensitive to coincidences.
To be honest, he now even suspects that there might be some mysterious force behind Evan's timing in coming to trade "The Grossell Notebook".
Could there be some mysterious force behind his acquisition of "The Grossell Notebook"?
Klein will never forget that Lieutenant General Iceberg came from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
The reader, possessing the "path" of the god of knowledge and wisdom, has the authority of "omniscience"!
The "reader" pathway and the "viewer" pathway are adjacent pathways.
Even a fool would know that the god of knowledge and wisdom would never be pleased to see another true god emerge from a neighboring path.
Because there is no direct evidence, this conjecture cannot be verified.
But it was precisely because of this speculation, along with other considerations, that Klein ultimately decided to take the opportunity to throw the notebook away.
He already has too many things to do and doesn't want to create more trouble for himself.
He felt that he was just a small person with a bit of a temper, and his tender shoulders couldn't bear the scheming of so many big shots!
It would be more suitable to hand it over to Evan, who is clearly enjoying the scheming and intrigue.
Just as Klein was weighing the pros and cons in his mind and barely convincing himself, the crimson star representing Evan began to ripple again.
They're in a real hurry; it seems they're genuinely worried I'll change my mind!
Having made his decision, Klein was not one to hesitate. With a flick of his finger, he opened the sacrificial gate and sent the Grossell Notebook into reality.
After doing all this, Klein felt somewhat lost, unsure whether his decision was right or wrong.
After a long while, Klein once again conjured up the "Trickster" potion recipe, glanced at it, and then left the gray mist.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to wait for Evan to deliver the extraordinary characteristics of the "Trickster." What if something went wrong and he wasted time?
Therefore, during this period, Klein will continue to actively collect relevant materials. If he manages to collect one or two materials, he can receive corresponding compensation from Evan.
At that point, the buying and selling relationship between the two parties will be reversed, and they might be able to make a fortune.
Moreover, Klein did not want to use extraordinary properties as materials for formulating potions.
This wasn't because he was overly compassionate; he was mainly considering the future digestibility of the potions.
He still needs to spend more effort to digest the precursor potions contained in the potion, even though the potion is formulated with extraordinary properties.
This seems like a huge waste of time given the increasingly dire global situation.
After learning of Ince Zangwell's whereabouts and plans, Klein was grateful that he had persevered in collecting relevant materials despite possessing the extraordinary trait of "Master of the Mystic Puppet of Rosago".
He used the materials he collected to complete this promotion, which is the source of his confidence to complete the role within three months.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have become so eager after hearing that there would be an opportunity to complete the ceremony in three months.
Only hope can make people anxious; despair will only make them give up.
"I've now advanced to the Mystic Master level," Rosago's extraordinary abilities are now useless to me. I'll see if I can sell them for a good price at the next Tarot session.
Also, I need to get back to the Rothschild Islands as soon as possible to look for acting opportunities!
Oh right, I completely forgot to tell Evan that I already have a messenger, and that this messenger is an angel and also Miss Sharon's teacher. It's all his fault for suddenly mentioning "The Grossell Notebook" and making me forget about it!
Forget it, let's not tell him yet. It will actually help maintain Mr. Fool's high-class image if he discovers the truth himself. Letting him imagine it himself will be more shocking than me telling him directly. I'm sure Evan's expression will be quite interesting at that time!
As Evan's strength grows and his rank rises, it becomes increasingly difficult for "The Fool" to maintain his superiority in front of him.
"If I had known, I would have been better off being honest with Evan back then. It would have saved me from living in constant fear and trepidation."
A similar thought flashed through Klein's mind, and then he laughed self-deprecatingly. How could he possibly tell a second person about his greatest asset and the secret of his time travel?
Just as Klein was agonizing over his future role and lamenting the difficulty of maintaining the "Fool's" cool image, Evan, holding the notebook he had just acquired, stared intently at the empty cabin, his heart pounding in his chest.
The moment he received the Grossell Notebook, the phantom of the City of Calamity on his body reacted violently, and a feeling of impending doom welled up in his heart.
This feeling had occurred to him before when the true Creator and the Goddess of Night were watching him, which convinced him that he was being watched by a true God.
And the identity of this true god is self-evident.
Just as Evan was worrying that he might have misjudged the situation and was unlikely to pass the test, the feeling of being watched by his natural enemy quickly subsided.
This made Evan breathe a sigh of relief, wipe the sweat from his forehead, pat the notebook in his hand, and say with lingering fear, "That scared me to death. I never expected the god of knowledge and wisdom to value this notebook so much."
Evan guessed that his acquisition of the Grossell Notebook might provoke the god of knowledge and wisdom, but he never expected such a strong reaction from Him.
Only then could Evan clearly sense that the god of knowledge and wisdom intended to take back the notebook.
"These gods and angels all treat each other differently, but when it comes to Klein, they all rush to invest."
When it comes to me, they all avoid me like the plague, completely lacking the enthusiasm they had when investing in Klein.
After calming his wildly beating heart, Evan muttered angrily under his breath.
However, this experience was also very rewarding for Evan. First, he confirmed that the God of Knowledge and Wisdom was indeed investing in Klein, and second, he became even more certain of the value of the notebook in his hand.
He was also 100% certain that Adam was currently unaware of the existence of this notebook.
Even if Adam was incredibly powerful, he was still just an angel king, and it was impossible for him to detect the existence of this notebook under the watchful eye of a true god.
There is a difference in rank between the King of Angels and God.
This also explains why, in the original work, the sudden appearance of the King of the North was the missionary's own stress response after he uttered the name of the imaginary angel Adam.
This notebook could indeed be a very good bargaining chip for him!
But that makes the whole thing quite interesting.
This notebook was sent to General Iceberg by the god of knowledge and wisdom, clearly intended as a delivery donkey for Klein.
Did the God of Knowledge and Wisdom not foresee that Klein, upon entering the notebook, would inevitably inquire about the eight angel kings? Would the missionary inevitably utter Adam's name to draw His attention to the notebook?
If this was anticipated, then the actions of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom seem very strange, because He is helping His Sequence Opponent!
This will directly overturn Evan's previous understanding of how to judge enemies and friends based on the Extraordinary Law.
Could it be that the god of knowledge and wisdom wants to use this opportunity to establish a connection with Adam and seek cooperation with him?
Evan thought to himself with some unease.
If this conjecture is true, then Evan taking the Grosser Notebook from Klein would be tantamount to directly disrupting the plans of the god of knowledge and wisdom.
From this perspective, it's no wonder that the god of knowledge and wisdom almost disregarded his own dignity and had the urge to personally snatch the notes.
Evan's unexpected appearance may have caught the god off guard, causing him to break his guard!
However, this also shows that the City of Calamity phantom on Evan is quite powerful, even the so-called "omniscient" god stumbled on him.
After sorting things out a little, Evan felt a mix of lingering fear and overwhelming joy.
In the end, the god of knowledge and wisdom did not take back the notebook.
Because if you really want to take it back, you don't need to steal it; you can just issue a divine decree and Evan will obediently hand it over.
But in the end, He did not do so, which means that He tacitly approved the notebook falling into Evan's hands. In a way, it can be regarded as an investment in Evan with this notebook, thus forming a good relationship.
Is this giving face to the goddess of night, or to the true creator?
Anyway, Evan doesn't think the god of knowledge and wisdom would invest in someone like him.
Regardless of the reason, Evan has certainly gotten the benefits this time.
