Seeing Mr. Tower look at him and Miss Temperance with a slightly playful gaze, Klein immediately understood that the other party knew who Director Ken and Sola were... or rather, he knew the plot of Fate/Zero!
Is he not even pretending anymore? Did he see through my previous probing, so he's just giving up? No... from the current situation, it's more likely that I'm the one giving up...
Now the only hope is that even if he's a transmigrator, he's not Liu Bo... or rather, he's a foreigner who doesn't recognize Chinese characters...
Numerous thoughts raced through his mind, but on the surface, Klein retorted, "Vice Admiral Iceberg replaced Irisviel?"
"Yes." Ebner nodded indifferently.
He had figured it out by now; when it came to reputation, having none was the best. This way, even if someone wanted to deal with the "romantic detective" later, they wouldn't believe that such a promiscuous person would value his female friends around him, which would instead indirectly protect them.
Klein's heart sank slightly, feeling that his "level" was far below the other party's.
Miss Temperance, sitting beside them, turned her head slightly, completely unaware of the veiled conversation they were having, feeling a touch of confusion.
"Ahem, let's exchange information first..." "World" Klein sensed the atmosphere was a bit off. He coughed and continued, "From what I know, Emperor Roselle encountered the completely mad Zaratul and very likely imprisoned Him in a dark palace..."
"Indeed... This information corroborates my previous conjecture... Roselle intends to steal the 'Miracle' of a 'Miracle Invoker' to resurrect the fragmented body, or rather, part of his soul, sealed here." Ebner's expression also became serious upon hearing this. He thought for a moment, then added, "When I last entered the 'City of Night,' I encountered a normal historical projection of Zaratul and... well, 'sealed' it.
"However, if that 'historical projection' were to meet Zaratul's main body, He might use it to resurrect through a 'miracle.'
"And Roselle, what he's waiting for is probably this moment."
After listening, Klein thoughtfully asked, "So, the Evernight Goddess is happy to see Roselle's resurrection, even giving him a push?"
After all, "Tower" could enter the "City of Night" thanks to "0-17," a Sealed Artifact of the Church of Evernight.
Ebner, however, shook his head, "I think quite the opposite. The Goddess does not approve of Roselle's resurrection in this manner."
Goddess... Mr. Tower is definitely not a believer of the Evernight Goddess, so why does he use such a natural address? Klein's mind flashed with an inexplicable thought, but on the surface, he asked, "Why do you judge that?"
"Because I currently cannot release Zaratul at all... I can only unseal it after becoming a Demigod, at the earliest." Ebner did not directly mention the "Pure White Eye," only referring to it as a "seal." "If the Goddess truly approved of Roselle's plan, She wouldn't have allowed me to come here now..."
If I had come in at the time point in the original novel when you explored 'Groselle's Travels,' I would most likely already be a Demigod... Or if I had arrived at the first floor by normally climbing the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower,' I would definitely be Sequence 4 by then.
"Then does that mean... Roselle's resurrection plan is doomed to fail?" Klein frowned and asked.
"Not necessarily... Zaratul has a high probability of having integrated into the rules of this tower. If we achieve victory and make a wish, then no matter what that wish is, it will probably be 'twisted' by Roselle's authority as the 'Black Emperor' into resurrecting Zaratul, and then 'stealing' his fate...
"But this 'resurrection' would require borrowing the power of the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' or even Roselle himself, and it wouldn't be as safe as before... it's very likely it still couldn't escape 'contamination'..."
Ebner said, half-reasoning and half-guessing, combining it with the original novel.
After a pause, he added, "Of course, that 'stealing' method of resurrection might have other hidden dangers, which is why the Goddess doesn't approve of Roselle resurrecting in that way."
Klein knew that "Miracles" could bring about "resurrection from death," as he himself had experienced it twice. But he had never heard that "Marauder" could even steal the fate of "resurrection." He couldn't help but secretly sigh, The "Marauder" pathway truly deserves to be categorized as "bizarre" by "Tower"...
After a while, Klein deliberated and then said, "I once heard 'ravings' from Roselle in the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower'... some of those words might be helpful for the current situation..."
"They are:
"'The Seal of Calamity and the two-faced dragon are cooperating; they cannot be trusted,' 'I am not me, and yet I am me,' 'Beware of the Mother card'..."
The Seal of Calamity and the two-faced dragon are cooperating; they cannot be trusted? So that's it... I understand now. No wonder the God of Knowledge seems to be helping Roselle with his resurrection, yet didn't stop me from entering 'Groselle's Travels'...
She's probably not helping Roselle at all, but following Her scheme with the Seal of Calamity!
Heh, that senior transmigrator, the Seal of Calamity, is so 'cunning and sly,' would It not know that Roselle later altered and used Its arrangements?
Roselle's actions were probably within Its plan all along?
Then what would the Seal of Calamity's purpose be? Alas, too little information... I can't grasp Its intentions at all.
Hmm, as for the second phrase, 'I am not me, and yet I am me,' it's easy to understand. The Emperor gained a new personality after ascending to the moon, and this personality was more influenced by the 'Primordial Moon'...
That's it, this must be why the Goddess doesn't want Roselle to resurrect in this way... The part of Roselle's personality sealed in the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' might be more dominant. Even if he truly escapes the 'Primordial Moon's' contamination, the resurrected Roselle's personality will undergo a significant change... Will that version of him truly still be him?
Even more so, will the resurrected fragmented body, in turn, influence Roselle's main consciousness, making him abandon his resolve and return as the 'Black Emperor' with 'contamination'?
Finally, 'beware of the Mother card' is relatively simple; it should mean beware of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess'...
Thinking this, Ebner habitually pinched his chin.
Klein, seeing this action, asked, "Mr. Tower, do you have any theories?"
Ebner hesitated, then probed back, "You should know about the Seal of Calamity, right?"
He deliberately emphasized "Seal of Calamity," as he felt Roselle wouldn't have failed to write about it in his diaries. Mr. Fool, having read so many, most likely knew it was a transmigrator.
"I know... It's Roselle's closest friend." Klein naturally understood Ebner's meaning, so he also emphasized "closest friend."
This strange conversation once again made Miss Temperance turn her head, looking at "World," expecting him to "translate."
Seeing this, Klein gave a "we'll talk later" look, as he hadn't yet figured out how to selectively "explain."
Ebner didn't notice "World" and "Temperance's" exchange of glances. He pondered and said:
"I think Roselle was probably duped by his 'cunning' 'closest friend'!"
Hearing this, Klein's expression instantly became strange, then he brightened up, suppressing his excitement with his "Clown" ability, and asked curiously:
"How so?"
Why do your emotions seem off? Ebner muttered to himself, then cast aside the sudden, inexplicable feeling and repeated his earlier conjectures, picking and choosing what to share.
Then, just as both Ebner and Klein fell into contemplation, "Temperance" Sharon suddenly asked, "The seal on Zaratul's historical projection cannot be broken, and only you know that?"
Ebner was startled by this, but still vaguely replied, "A few deities should also know."
Like Lilith, the Goddess, the two-faced dragon... I'm not sure about others... he added silently in his mind.
"It seems like a 'trap,'" Sharon stated concisely.
Hearing this, Ebner's heart skipped a beat, then he thought of Roselle's phrase "beware of the Mother card," and a name involuntarily flashed in his mind:
"Fallen Mother Goddess!"
"This so-called resurrection, after all the twists and turns, could it be a setup by the deities?"
"The Silver Moon Project?"
