Chapter TwoMadam Sammer “Did you see a boy in his teens? Wearing an old coat!” One of the men who had rushed into the carriage glared fiercely at the conductor. From the corner of his eye, Klein saw that the man was lean and capable-looking, his skin darkened as though by long exposure to sunlight, his eye sockets far more sunken than those of ordinary Loen citizens. Highlander? Or mixed-blood? He nodded thoughtfully. In the central part of the Northern Continent, where the Hornacis…-

Chapter OneThe Land of Hope Woo! The whistle’s cry echoed through every corner of the platform. The steam locomotive, huge as a monster and dragging more than twenty carriages behind it, slowly came to a stop. Dressed in formal tails and wearing a half-top silk hat, Klein carried a comically oversized leather suitcase that did not match his frame at all and stepped steadily onto the ground of Backlund, capital of the Loen Kingdom. This city was split diagonally in two by the Tussock River,…

Chapter Two Hundred ThirteenOne Last Look Ince Zangwill went to Backlund… I wonder how long he will stay there… Mm… I can confirm it once every so often… Thoughtfully, Klein leaned forward, wiped away the contents on the parchment, and wrote a new divination statement: “Lanevus’s current location.” In his view, the one chiefly responsible for the deaths of the Captain and the others, the culprit who had nearly caused him to fall into eternal sleep, was undoubtedly Ince Zangwill.…-

Chapter Two Hundred TwelveThe Avenger In the north of the Loen Kingdom, September’s wind carried a few threads of chill within its coolness. After passing through the cemetery, it gained an even colder, more piercing quality. Klein shivered from the wind and abruptly came back to himself. With a bitter smile, he muttered, “So this transmigration really does hide a few secrets…” “But from the look of it, at most I can ‘revive’ only two more times. I wonder if this recovery ability,…

Chapter Two Hundred ElevenThe Funeral Beneath Saint Selena Cathedral, inside the guard room outside Chanis Gate. Leonard Mitchell leaned back against his chair. Both legs were raised and resting on the edge of the desk. His eyes were empty and unfocused. Even after treatment through ritual magic, his complexion remained extremely poor, like someone whose serious illness had only just eased and had not yet begun to recover. At that very moment, the powerhouses sent by the Sanctuary were…

Chapter Two Hundred TenThe Story In the outskirts of Tingen stood a house with a lawn of deep green. It had a garden that had begun to wither at the very start of September. It had a dark-red chimney. Behind one of the bedroom windows in that house was a desk, upon which lay an utterly ordinary notebook, spread open. A slightly pale hand turned the notebook back to its first page, then swiftly flipped through it page after page. Amid the rustling of paper, lines of text emerged…

Chapter Two Hundred NineLight “Wah!” The baby inside Megose’s belly cried. It squirmed, wanting to be born, wanting to help its mother escape her predicament. The black, cold, slippery threads seemed frightened, or perhaps seized by some invisible force. They retreated one after another. “Wah!” Dunn and Klein both grew visibly dizzy. Their throats constricted on their own, their windpipes compressing again and again, making breathing instantly difficult. From their noses, the…

Chapter Two Hundred EightThe Cry Beep, beep, beep. Inside the Captain’s office, the telegraph suddenly stirred, as though a new message was about to arrive. But Klein and Leonard could not spare even the smallest part of their attention. Their eyes were red, and they were silently counting the beats of the second hand. “Ten.” “Nine.” “Eight.” … At that moment, Dunn Smith, holding in his left hand the square casket that seemed made of silver and bone, entered the…

Chapter Two Hundred SevenGuardians Dunn sighed. “At the time, I really was trying to send you away, because what I had to do involved a secret belonging to the Church and the Nighthawks. But Kernli’s death left my head in chaos. For a moment, I could think of only a poor excuse, which gave you the opportunity to return and see it.” “What secret?” Klein asked, feeling far more at ease. For a moment, he nearly forgot that outside there still existed the suspected offspring of an evil…

Chapter Two Hundred SixGrade 2 Sealed Artifact Within the deep, tranquil underground corridor, the nearly four-meter-tall white-bone messenger clenched the folded letter and vanished before Klein’s eyes without causing any abnormal change. Once only the elegant gas lamps embedded in the walls remained around him, Klein put away Azik’s copper whistle and continued toward Chanis Gate. While writing the letter, he had already decided which Sealed Artifact he would choose next. First, Grade 3…
