The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v2 Chapter 695: new entrants

"Schrdinger's bad luck." Alicia smiled. She rarely smiled before. He smiles like a beautiful and proud fox, which can make all the men he meets feel cheerful, "This time, with your help, he lost in a mess, and the Oulu Foundation has lost its trust in him... 釻

"Not only that..." She turned around with her hands behind her back, and took two light steps. Obviously, everything that happened before liberated her, "We will return to Europe in a short time and take over the entire foundation."

The corners of Arthur's mouth curled up slightly. Everything is as he expected. Those foundation elders who supported Schrödinger before, after seeing Schrödinger's defeat and Alicia's skills, will definitely come to a conclusion who is more suitable to run the contemporary foundation.

Alicia's trip to Europe is not only to destroy the Philosopher's Stone, but also an active confrontation to regain orthodoxy.

As for the murder of Rabilins, those elders who had remained silent did not really appreciate Schrödinger's obsession with the former president. They acquiesced to the previous trial, but they wanted to witness with their own eyes which side's ideas would be implemented.

Just an observation. And now the observations bear fruit.

Not only that, maybe in the future, after Alicia came to power, the crime of murdering the former president would change into a heroic act to stop the madman from destroying the Foundation.

It is nothing more than repeating the same old tune: politics is the process of struggle. Crime or merit, will be defined by the winner.釻

"After letting the foundation know about that disgusting brain house, Schrödinger has deserted everyone.

"Nobody appreciates, or even understands, his overzealous attachment to Labillins..."

"I sent someone to set that thing on fire. Thanks to Schrodinger, my rebellious move was very necessary. The wind direction in Europe has changed." Alicia's mood cooled down a bit, "It's just that I didn't expect Had to kill him twice..."

Soon, after the power of Schrodinger's remnant party shrinks, Alicia will actually take charge of the entire Daedalus Foundation.

All the legacy of the Spirit Craftsmanship Society, the technology accumulation of generations of scholars, the real-time information of the sleeping angels...all taken over. Female chess players will become some of the most powerful people in the Quest world today.

"There is one more thing to ask you two..." Alicia left Sean and Arthur behind, and the others arranged to rest, "—one person wants to join the club."

· 釻

While waiting for the new entrant, Arthur temporarily left the room. Sean and Alicia were the only ones left in the office.

The two stood by the window looking at the deep sea.

"I miss Grandpa."

Edgar Pompey. Sean's eyes flashed the image of the old man carefully eating an apple underground.

"I miss him too." He said sincerely.

The two looked at each other and smiled gently.

Xiao En suddenly noticed something more in the eyes of the female chess player, with a soft light shining. She took a few steps closer and even took her hand. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of tenderness.釻

"It's always you, Sean...

"Thank you."

It turned out that she was caressing the knight ring. "You are indeed my knight."

"Happy to oblige, my lady," he said.

Not long after, the new entrants finally arrived. Sean's eyes widened in surprise as he entered.

Nicola Tesler. The current mayor of Ocean City walked in wearing a black suit. His dark circles were visibly lighter, and his complexion was much better.

"Tesler, is that you? Do you want to join the club?" Sean greeted him. The shy inventor blushed when he saw Sean, and he seemed to want to shake hands, and Sean gave him a hug—they had lived and died together on Maze Island, and he was very happy to see him again.釻

"How are you? Is everything okay?"

"Great, Sean! I'm fine, and my injury is healed." Tesler was smiling all the time, which was beyond Sean's expectation. "The residents are much healthier, and tourism and immigration have resumed." It's open. I'm now as confident as the city!"

"Nicolas had the intention to join the book club a long time ago, but because of the chaos at the time, he never made a statement..." Alicia said next to him, "This time he took the initiative to find me and decided to join the club."

"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Arthur asked.

"I figured out a lot of things, one of which was: If Andre was still alive, I would still follow him.

"He's gone, so only reading will be the most in line with his spirit. It's as simple as that."

The former saint Andre, who was labeled as an apostate by the court, was not only a student of Edgar Pompey, but also had inextricable connections with the Candlelight Reading Club. Tesler used to be his follower. Maybe he has been watching the Candlelight Reading Club in the post-Andre organization that has been split into various factions, and found that only it is the purest and consistent, so he decided to join.釻

The auras are similar, and the fates intersect. Tesler should have been a member of the book club long ago—this is how Sean the Wise feels about it.

"Gentlemen." Alicia said, "Without further delay, let's hold an induction ceremony for Mr. Teslerkin today."

When they came to the library, there was only a desk lamp left in the place that had been emptied in advance, which inexplicably reminded Sean of everything that happened in the old book cemetery.

He knew that whether it was an oil lamp or an electric lamp, the faint source of light symbolized the light that illuminated the ignorant reason.

The three members stood in an equilateral triangle, surrounding Nicola Tesler in the middle. They all produced their pendants, abstract symbols of open books and candlelight.

Interestingly, Alicia and Arthur, who are more experienced, have significantly smaller pendants in their hands. Not only is the pendant Sean is holding up bigger ~lightnovelpub.net~ but the pendant that once belonged to Da Vinci has been stained with a patina—obviously from deeper in history.

Sean heard Arthur mention that there are three elder keys in the study club, one of which he inherited from Pompeii is the "Moon Key". This means that since he joined the association, he has been one of the three elders of this mysterious organization. After learning the news, he slowly realized why Arthur Merlin valued and cared about him, and he could clearly feel the weight of this patina pendant... 釻

Not only that, but he also realized that his encounter with Rose under the Moon and Olivia Fengling was destined.

"I, Reader Sean Dickinson." Sean raised the pendant according to the ritual. Olivia, who was standing behind him, took a step forward. "Candlebearer Olivia Windchimes."

"—Witness the initiation of Nicola Tesler here."

"I, Reader Alicia Pompey."

Wendy took a step forward: "Candle Bearer Wendy Carlos."

"—Witness the initiation of Nicola Tesler here."

"I, reader Arthur Merlin."

There was no one behind Arthur.

"—Witness the initiation of Nicola Tesler here."

Suddenly the library was filled with thick fog, and there seemed to be evil spirits wandering in the darkness.

Sean pointed to the depths of the rows of bookcases. He recalled the words of the old man of Pompeii, and said in the same tone: "Follow the guidance of the soul and find the books that belong to you...

"Remember, you can only pick one."
