Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 44 Emotional Experience
what? !

Chris quickly opened the tome on the table.

"what's the topic?"

In walked Fred Jeff, the second-oldest member of the team after civilian employee Bob George.

Fred saw the "Collection of Poems of Emperor Russell the Great" in Chris's hand at a glance. He believed that the reason why this collection of poems could become a occult material was precisely because of the strange "Rosell Symbol".

He asked doubtfully: "Chris, are you trying to decipher the symbols created by Emperor Russell?"

He smoothed his white beard and continued: "For more than 200 years, countless people have tried to decipher the 'Rosell Symbol' and know its true meaning, but no one has succeeded."

"No, at least now we know that these symbols were created by Emperor Russell to encrypt his diary."

Anne disagreed.

"Yes," said Fred:

"But we know this is a 'diary' because someone compared the appearance of the symbols and found that several symbols often repeated, so they guessed it was a date.

Other than that, I just feel that the writing format is more like a diary. "

He laughed and continued: "Oh, we don't even know the date of the diary."

"whispering sound."

Annie puffed up her cheeks and took the fruity caramel pudding on Chris' table.

"little girl."

Fred smiled helplessly, turned around and went out, closing the door.

Chris opened the "Collection of Poems of Emperor Russell the Great", and the first sentence on the title page was only one sentence in Simplified Chinese:
"I really don't want to publish this book, but those noble fools insist on letting me publish it!"

"Emperor Russell really doesn't care at all, but he didn't expect that someone would come through time in the future..."

Chris flipped through the pages of this book of poems, which were translated from Intis, but Chris could still see the original works of these poems at a glance.

For example, this song "Singing Swan":
There are swans, swans and swans

They bend their necks and sing to the sky
White hair floating in green water
Red flippers sweep away waves.

...Isn't this "Song of the Goose"? Emperor Russell, are you really...

Chris held his forehead and smiled bitterly, and also found that this poem had a line of small characters, which was written in simplified Chinese:
"Original work: King Luo Bin, I did not write it myself"

Emperor Russell is really "honest"...

Chris believes that these are the "private notes" left by Emperor Russell after he composed the poems at that time. It is not enough for contemporary people to just analyze the poems. If they want to truly interpret the emperor's inner thoughts at that time, they must be able to understand these Chinese.

He turned back and saw a short poem called "Beryl":
Even if no one looks at you seriously,
In my place, I mean in my heart,
You are always perfect.

——Composed in 1147

There is also a line in simplified Chinese under these three lines of love poetry:
"I really love her."

Wow, Emperor Russell is very affectionate. This does not match the character in the diary...

Chris couldn't help being a little surprised, his eyes moved down, and there was a note in Loen language at the bottom of the page:

Translator's Note: It is rumored that Emperor Russell secretly fell in love with one of his personal maids in his early years, and this love poem is his confession.

Personal maid, is her name Beryl?
But didn’t Emperor Russell often attend various aristocratic gatherings? How could he fall in love with a personal maid?
The next song is called "True Love Eternal":
Let the base things do the planning!

You will live forever on this beauty.

I can give up everything I own,
But I will never leave you.

——Composed in 1149

This poem also has the emperor's personal annotation:
"I love her forever!"

There is still a note in Rune language at the bottom: Translator's note: It is rumored that this year the tryst between Emperor Russell and his personal maid - also his lover - was discovered. The emperor was under pressure from all sides, but he did not Without giving in, this poem was written in this context.

It seems that this is related to the previous poem. They are both personal maids, but I don’t know if they are the same person...

Chris thought to himself that this seemed to be an emotional experience of Emperor Russell that he had not seen in the original work.

The next one is also a short poem called "Swan":
A swan swims in the cold water,

Lamenting the absence of its lover;

The song is full of longing for longing,
Longing for its long-awaited mate.

——Composed in 1150

The emperor's private note below only has two words:

"I miss her."

I miss her so much...Did we break up?Dumped?

Chris also didn't expect that the seemingly suave Emperor Russell would have such an affectionate side in his early years.

The note in Rune language at the bottom is as follows: It is rumored that Emperor Russell and his personal maid lover were forced to separate this year, and the emperor never saw her again after that.

Never saw her again?It seems to be a tragic love story...

Chris flipped back, and most of the poems that followed were poems he had seen before traveling through time, and had been adapted by Emperor Russell.

Chris quickly flipped through the tome, and his biggest gain was learning about Emperor Russell's emotional experience and his affectionate side.

Well, as for "Witches taste really good," Emperor Russell was obviously very affectionate. Of course, it's also possible that he completely darkened after that and turned into a scumbag.

Chris stretched, then picked up other books on the table and looked through them.

"The Grammar of Ancient Fesac" and "From Giant to Elvish" are both books published internally by the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. The books explain a lot about the natural power and mystery of language, but they are not obscure or difficult. Understand.

Chris quickly flipped through the two books and decided to study them carefully later.

By the way, there is also the pendulum method...

He opened two other books - "Research on Ritual Magic" and "Introduction to Mastery of Spells", but did not find detailed knowledge about the "Pendulum Method" in them.

Ask the captain...

Chris knocked on the door gently: "Captain Albert?"

"Please come in."

Chris pushed the door open and found Albert playing with his monkey-shaped mechanical toy.

"Captain, don't you have to investigate the case today?"

"No," Albert said without raising his head, "Horick and Catherine just left. They went to the police station to help investigate the theft."

He continued slowly:

"When there are no extraordinary events, there are actually very few things happening in the Mechanical Heart. After all, our external name is the 'Hoy University Logistics Department'. We are not the same as the Nighthawks and the Punishers. We are a security company and a ship leasing company. You can also make extra money.”

"Chris, look."

He twisted the toy's spring a few times, then stood it on the table. The little monkey spun around in circles and kept beating the gong in his hand, making a "ding-dang-dang" sound.

It's boring enough...

Chris cursed and expressed his intention:
"Captain, why do my pendulum techniques always fail?"
