Lin Ruo, of course, didn't hear the angry roar from the Great Emperor within the mausoleum of unknown location. At this moment, he had already left the historical projection. After closing and opening his eyes, he returned to his bedroom once again.
"Huff…" Lin Ruo exhaled, stretched his body, and glanced at the only thing he had brought out—the quill pen bearing Roselle's traces. He then slightly raised his eyebrows, looked in a certain direction, and said thoughtfully:
"Roselle is in that direction? Hmm, although the connection is very weak, this is only the first item bearing his traces. At this rate, once I've collected all the items bearing his traces, I should be able to pinpoint Roselle's location… or pull him out from somewhere?"
Lin Ruo stroked his chin in thought. Now that he had experienced exploring a historical projection once, he naturally wouldn't take it for granted that Roselle was necessarily somewhere in the real world.
Perhaps this guy was placed by him in a special space similar to the historical projection.
Anyway, Lin Ruo was now relieved about Roselle's safety. "He" had even created something like a historical projection for him to rescue people. Regardless of whether this historical projection had other uses, such as helping him digest potions or set up rituals, it indicated that Roselle was definitely fine. Even if he really died, it would be a not-quite-dead state, where he could be revived by gathering the "Dragon Balls." What was Lin Ruo worried about?
He just wondered if Roselle had written any manuscripts these past few years…
"Forget it, why think about that? Even if Roselle isn't dead, he's probably gone mad. Even if he's not mad, expecting him to write manuscripts on his own initiative is unlikely… It's just a pity." Lin Ruo muttered, glancing at the clock showing nearly three o'clock. Knowing that he had spent several days in the historical projection, he immediately realized something else upon leaving—the Tarot Gathering was about to start for the new week!
"The Fool who doesn't belong to this era…" Lin Ruo didn't delay and, after changing to a comfortable posture, began to pray earnestly.
Almost the next moment after he finished praying, accompanied by a familiar sense of disorientation, Lin Ruo once again arrived above the gray fog.
Looking at the familiar giant palace and bronze table before him, Lin Ruo was actually a little nostalgic.
After all, even though only a few days had passed in the real world, he had spent a month in the historical projection. There was no Tarot Gathering for him to attend in the historical projection, which made Lin Ruo, who was already accustomed to attending the gray fog every week and writing a little essay for Mr. Fool, feel a bit unaccustomed.
However, this period of persecution against Roselle greatly satisfied Lin Ruo's mischievous taste.
Hmm, I'll draw a CG later and send a copy to Klein as well. Sharing this kind of happy thing is indeed more joyful… Lin Ruo thought, making a happy decision.
The Fool Klein, at the head of the bronze table, then spoke, "It seems your journey was very smooth."
Because Lin Ruo's joyful aura from head to toe was not concealed in the slightest, Klein, who was familiar with Lin Ruo, could guess even through the gray fog that the other party must have encountered something that made him happy.
"It was indeed smooth… Actually, I even brought a gift for you, which I'll give you after the Tarot Gathering." Lin Ruo said with a smile. Because there was no one else above the gray fog at the moment, he spoke naturally and casually.
"A gift?" Klein glanced at Lin Ruo. He felt that it shouldn't be his illusion; Lin Ruo's tone was particularly joyful when he said the word "gift," which made Klein's expression suddenly become a little subtle.
He felt that it wasn't a serious gift.
"Yeah, some interesting souvenirs, not valuable, but very memorable." Lin Ruo nodded, thinking of the last scene in the historical projection just now, his mood was still very cheerful.
He thought of something else and asked, "Benson and Melissa should have arrived in Backlund by now, right? What pathway did they choose?"
"Melissa chose the Reader, and Benson chose the Lawyer… I don't have the Lawyer's potion formula, so I'll have to trouble you." Klein didn't hide anything and added, "Also, Sharron and Maric have something they want to ask you for help with. I'll tell you the specific situation after the Tarot Gathering."
"Lawyer, huh…" Lin Ruo stroked his chin, thinking of the Roselle memorial exhibition not far from now, and his smile became even brighter. He didn't ignore Klein's later words and nodded, "Okay, then we'll talk about it later."
The gray fog fell silent, and after a while, with the punctual arrival of three o'clock, the figures of Justice and others reappeared above the gray fog.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
In the lively greeting of Justice Audrey, the gray fog was once again filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
After Justice Audrey greeted the Tarot Gathering members one by one, she took the initiative to raise her hand and said:
"Mr. Fool, I have collected two pages of Emperor Roselle's diary."
"I have also collected one page of Emperor Roselle's diary." Magician Fors followed closely, but it was clear that compared to Justice's familiarity, Magician Fors was slightly nervous.
The Hanged Man Alger chose to remain silent. He was still drifting at sea, so naturally he hadn't collected any new diaries.
But the grand gathering among pirates is coming up next. Maybe I can find new diaries at the gathering… The Hanged Man Alger thought silently, and then glanced at Lin Ruo thoughtfully.
The Chariot doesn't seem to have collected Emperor Roselle's diary for a long time…
If someone else had such a performance, the Hanged Man Alger might think that the other party's channels were not good, but when this happened to the Chariot, the Hanged Man Alger had another conjecture:
Or perhaps the Chariot hasn't not collected Emperor Roselle's diary, but as a believer, every time he collects a diary, he directly dedicates it to Mr. Fool instead of exchanging it for things at the Tarot Gathering like them.
This means that, perhaps in places he can't see, the relationship between the Chariot and Mr. Fool has become much closer.
The Hanged Man Alger thought, looking at the Chariot, who seemed to be in a good mood, and felt a little more sense of crisis in his heart, but he didn't have the idea of officially converting to Mr. Fool like the Chariot.
After all, as a member of the Punishers, the Hanged Man is actually worried that if he really converts to the Fool, he will encounter some not-so-good things.
So I can only show my value in other fields. Fortunately, the Chariot is not at sea… The Hanged Man Alger thought very competitively, and glanced at Lin Ruo again, his desire for power burning fiercely.
Lin Ruo, who had been looked at several times: ?
What's wrong with the Hanged Man?
The Fool Klein naturally didn't know the various thoughts among the Tarot Gathering members. He looked at Justice Audrey and Magician Fors and asked, "What do you each hope to exchange for the diaries?"
