Chapter 193: The Mystery

Dreamland Karoso freed Karoso from his restraints, and the two could finally have a proper conversation.

"Are you saying you come from a different world?" asked Dreamland Karoso.

"Yes, I encountered beings who can change history and fate," Karoso said. "It’s not just one person, but a group. They told me what I would experience in the future."

"The experiences you’re having now are what I would experience if I didn’t meet them."

"You will trust Ailina, tell her about our father’s death, and then she will inform the kingdom. The kingdom will declare war on Canglang Province and launch a swift attack on us."

"Your older brother will cut off your limbs and throw you into the third level of the dungeon because of the mistake you made."

"No," Dreamland Karoso shook his head. "I killed Ailina with my own hands."

"How did you kill her? Why did you kill her?" Karoso looked puzzled.

"I don’t know either. My memories from that morning are very jumbled, and I ended up choking her to death in a daze…" Dreamland Karoso frowned.

"I see now." Karoso suddenly realized.

Neymar’s dream, was it actually a continuation of my dream?

"It seems like I was somehow attached to you at that time. I knew who Ailina was, so I ended up choking her to death." Karoso explained.

"So, you’re the one who killed my wife…" Dreamland Karoso’s gaze sharpened.

If this person in front of him wasn’t another version of himself from a different timeline, Dreamland Karoso would have drawn a gun and shot him.

Luckily, both Karosos were equally rational individuals, capable of remaining calm in the face of turmoil.

Since a parallel universe version of himself had already appeared, even the most bizarre events were not impossible to accept.

"With the protection of Colloa Manor, who can still affect your spirits?" Karoso said, "I have ordered the Dark Guard to bring back our two brothers and control what they say."

"Indeed, I gave that order, but I didn’t tell them about our father’s death…" Dreamland Karoso rubbed his chin, "Do you think Ailina would do such a thing… Is there any evidence?"

"She is involved with Second Brother, keeping it a secret from us. If you investigate, you will find some clues. She’s not perfect, you just trusted her too much," Karoso said.

Dreamland Karoso opened the Communication Magic Stone and gave a few commands.

In less than two hours, he did find something.

Dreamland Karoso sighed in disbelief that the traitor was right beside him.

I trusted her all this time, and she’s involved with Second Brother…

Dreamland Karoso felt a surge of anger rising in his chest, his head spinning.

Ailina…

"Phew… Thank you," Dreamland Karoso let out a breath.

"You’re welcome, I’m also doing this for myself," Karoso replied.

"Why have you appeared in this world, and what is your purpose?" Dreamland Karoso asked.

"I’m here to find Neymar, this matter involves the divine, I’ve been restricted from speaking about it," Karoso said. "Where is she?"

"I’ve already informed her to come back, but there has been no news since then," Dreamland Karoso said gravely. "I suspect something may have happened to her."

"Help me find Neymar, and I’ll help you in return," Karoso said. "Canglang Province can only have one duke, if you don’t want to take charge, hand it over to the eldest brother. If you do, then imprison them."

Neymar definitely hasn’t met with any mishap, otherwise this dreamscape would collapse.

"Power should always be in one’s own hands," Dreamland Karoso stated decisively. "My father’s death was too suspicious, Iberia knew my father’s whereabouts, yet dared to assassinate a duke. So far, no news has been leaked. I suspect foul play. I can’t trust this matter to anyone else."

"Since Second Brother has already turned Ailina against us, the situation in Canglang Province… could be very dangerous."

"Now tell me, what have those people who helped you given you? What can you do to help me?"

Karoso looked at the bullet comment and spoke slowly.

"Firstly, Reade can be trusted, you are the most favored candidate to be the next duke by your father. He only told your older brother instead of you because he was afraid you couldn’t handle it. There is a place on the third level of the dungeon that can give you power. I went in with Neymar before. With that power, you can reach the eighth tier within two years."

"Also, even though this seal is from my world, it should be the same as the seal in this world. You can use it to command the army of this battalion."

"Iberia did not publicly announce your father’s death, leading Canglang Province into chaos. They might be waiting for a better opportunity. It’s definitely good to have an army at hand at this time."

"Besides these, I can also provide you with some practical cards that you can have people quickly make for you. You should have your own Card Maker, right?"

"Okay." Dreamland Karoso nodded, "Then help me take care of Colloa Manor, I’ll go to the place you mentioned first to strengthen myself."

"Then you must tell me what orders you have given."

"Sure."

……

Soon, two Karosos finished exchanging, and Karoso would participate in this matter as Bruce, the illegitimate child of the nobleman.

Although their personalities had some differences, Dreamland Karoso had not turned dark yet. They handled many things in the same way, with Dreamland Karoso just having more experience.

Dreamland Karoso could trust Ailina, so naturally, they could trust their other self as well.

It could be said that at this moment, Kazan and Saaya were facing not one Karoso, but two Karosos!

After receiving the appointment, Karoso quickly went to his father’s office and released 『』.

"Have you found Neymar?" 『』 stood in front of Karoso and asked directly.

"No, Neymar has gone missing. We must rely on the power of the entire Canglang Province to search for her." Karoso looked at the mountain of files, skillfully signing them.

"I mean, this is in a dream. You don’t need to be so serious, right?" 『』 looked at the small Karoso sitting on the somewhat large leather chair, earnestly examining each document.

『』 felt a little sad watching the child like this.

"This is a great opportunity," Karoso said seriously. "I found that this dream and reality are exactly the same, it can be described as a miracle."

"The files I saw are all real data from Canglang Province, just like we have really traveled to the future."

"Knowing what happened at this point in time, when we leave, in a way we will become prophets."

"Little friend," 『』 walked up to Karoso and gently tapped Karoso’s head, "Don’t you know? This is a dream, a dream under a ritual. When we wake up, the things we experienced in the dream will be very fuzzy. If it involves the future, our memories of the future will be forcibly erased."

"The Great Prophecy of the prophet cannot be used casually, that’s the reason why."

"Knowing the future comes with a great price, a price that even I find hard to bear now."

Karoso paused for a moment, then continued signing the documents, "We still need to do things right."

『』 can’t remember, Karoso can’t remember, but the bullet comments remember it all!

These random bullet comments are sometimes recording all the time.

They found out, it’s like Karoso finding out…

Karoso is lucky this time, the spiritual body came in with some bullet comments too.

[Come on, let’s give Teacher 『』 a lesson]

[Hahaha… Even though Neymar and Sophia are treated as main characters, Null and 『』 are also main characters, but with our Master Karoso, he is the true main character!]

"Ok, you win." 『』 sat beside Karoso, hands behind her head.

Swipe, swipe, swipe…

Karoso quickly wrote out a few card recipes and handed them to 『』, "Teacher 『』, can you please make these cards for me?"

"Hey, dreams about the future will be forgotten, but these cards you gave me might not be forgotten." 『』 raised an eyebrow. "Aren’t you afraid I might steal these recipes?"

Grand Duke Osiris wouldn’t do anything extreme even if an Eight-tier Card Maker wanted to steal Karoso’s recipe, as it would be considered losing in the game.

"I trust you, teacher." Karoso didn’t seem to mind at all, saying, "Even if you want to claim it as your own, I don’t mind."

"Oh, you clever child." 『』 flicked the paper Karoso gave her, saying, "I’ll accept a similar one as payment."

『』 had helped Karoso a lot, and she was afraid he would feel pressured if she didn’t accept anything in return.

Sometimes, favors are more valuable than recipes, especially for an Eight-tier Card Maker.

"Okay."

After 『』 left, Karoso activated the Communication Magic Stone.

"Lord Bruce." An image of a middle-aged man in a suit appeared.

"Provide the materials required by President 『』 as a priority."

"We still need our materials for battle…"

"I am now the highest commander of Canglang Province!"

"Yes!"

Karoso hung up the Magic Stone and continued to read.

"Master Bruce."

The butler who brought Karoso earlier knocked on the door, "I have organized the latest information on major events for you."

"Let me see." Karoso took the information.

Soon, a piece of news caught Karoso’s attention.

Three months ago, Emperor Augustus of the Presea Empire passed away, and Princess Teresa was imprisoned!

[Huh? Did Teresa and Master Karoso live in the same time?]

[I really didn’t know before.]

[It seems like this Teresa doesn’t know Master Karoso at all.]

[So you mean, Teresa is going to make a move?]

[How long was Teresa locked up for?]

[Let me think, it does seem that way. Master Karoso quickly seized power and when he launched his attack on the kingdom, there was no trace of the Presea Empire, which shouldn’t have been the case for such a big country.]

[It can only mean that at that time, Teresa was also seizing power, while the Presea Empire was in chaos!]

[By the time Teresa became the empress, Master Karoso was already the emperor of Deleuze.]

[Darn, this game is so puzzling, how much trouble did Honey Karoso cause?]

[Are you watching any games? Can you give us a detailed timeline?]

[Are you sure you understand the storyline?]

[Are you sure the game company has thought about these things?]

[It’s like writing a novel, sometimes the author even forgets some foreshadows, and when it comes time to resolve them, they can’t remember how…]

[Just like the storyline of DNF, it’s changed so much that even the creator doesn’t recognize it anymore.]

"Um…" Karoso frowned. "Dark Guard!"

A hunter appeared next to Karoso and bowed to him.

"How is the investigation into my father’s death going?" Karoso asked.

"The Duke’s body is being secretly transported back, the scene is too chaotic with traces everywhere. We can only confirm that three eighth-tier individuals were involved, along with many mercenaries. The other party did not use heavy weapons," Dark Guard said with a regretful expression.

"How was the gunpowder buried? Father was on the armored train, regular gunpowder wouldn’t have any effect on the train." Karoso picked up the original railway design map, "If I remember correctly, was this railway built by the Presea Empire?"

"These are photos of the scene traces." Dark Guard took out the photos.

Dreamland Karoso already knew this information, but couldn’t make sense of it at all.

Karoso carefully looked at the photos in front of him.

Hmm, did the explosion happen on the bridge? At that time, the train was supported by a magic array and could run without tracks. It wouldn’t matter even if the bridge collapsed, unless the magic array was destroyed along with it!

It would be quite a task to destroy a magic array of this level…

It’s just not possible temporarily!

Unless… the Canglang Province has been infiltrated thoroughly.

Karoso pinned the photos on the table.

"Check, check the communication records of Father, Big Brother, Second Brother, and Presea after Emperor Augustus’s death."

"Yes!"

[Master Karoso suspects this matter is related to the Presea Empire, right?]

[Oh no, if two empires kill Grand Duke Osiris, they might not be able to handle the consequences coming their way.]

"The first thing we need to understand is what benefits they would gain from killing Father." Karoso, looking weary, rubbed his temples. "Would they be able to take over Canglang Province? It doesn’t seem likely for them. Based on the history you all know, it was the Kingdom of Persia that almost captured Canglang Province."

"Moreover, killing Father might provoke a fierce retaliation from Canglang Province…"

"So, I am thinking, could it be that Father was wrong in saying it was Iberia Empire who did it?"

"I have some knowledge of Father’s ways. After Emperor Augustus’s death, Father would definitely try to gain some benefits."

"Presea Empire kills Father, plunges Canglang Province into chaos, and then they smoothly transition into power… This line of thought seems more reasonable."

"Or, there may be deeper political reasons… Unfortunately, I don’t have enough information, so I can’t guess."

[This is too complicated, we can’t analyze it.]

[Yes, let’s not speak carelessly about the analysis. After all, we are not from this world, and things are unclear to us.]

Karoso arranged many defense-related tasks and didn’t rest from start to finish.

Just then, the Magic Stone suddenly lit up crazily.

Karoso caught it casually and was stunned.

Not only Karoso, but everyone communicating with him was also stunned.

"Third Brother, what’s happening… Are you regressing?"

Karoso’s big brother, Kazan Colloa, looked at Karoso with a surprised expression.

Karoso looked at the Magic Stone fiercely. It was the communication Magic Stone of Morning Star City. When did they enter the city?
