Chapter Sixty-OneA Strange Symbol “The Fool that does not belong to this era… the mysterious ruler above the gray fog… the King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck…” Audrey Hall silently repeated those three descriptions. In her heart, a storm rose violently, and she could no longer maintain the Spectator state. As a lover of mysticism, before being pulled into this gray-fog space, she had never formally come into contact with extraordinary power. Yet during private gatherings with…-

Chapter SixtyThe Second Blasphemy Slate “No problem.” Klein did his best to keep his voice deep and unchanged. He rested his left elbow against the armrest of the high-backed chair, using his fingers to support his slightly tilted forehead with no great force, assuming the posture of someone calmly listening. Alger considered his wording for a moment before saying, “Antigonus is an ancient family. Their history can even be traced back to the Cataclysm Epoch before the Fourth Epoch. They…

Chapter Fifty-NineRoselle’s Beginning Hearing the Fool’s question, Audrey did not answer immediately as she had in the past. Instead, she opened her crystal-clear eyes and looked at the Hanged Man with an assessing gaze. Alger unconsciously restrained his body movements. After several seconds of silence, he said, “I found two pages of Emperor Roselle’s diary and memorized their contents.” “I have one page,” Audrey answered in a tone of observation, her gaze separated from his by the…

Chapter Fifty-EightAn Idea The next day, Monday morning. Klein, who was on rotation and had the day off, did not go out. Instead, he handed the letter written to his mentor, Cohen Quentin, along with more than enough postage, to Melissa, asking his sister to mail it at the post office near Tingen Technical School. After breakfast, he leisurely made up for the sleep he had missed during his days of “work.” It was almost noon, and only when his stomach began to growl did he finally get out of…

Chapter Fifty-SevenSorting and Summarizing After pausing briefly, Klein continued writing: “The essence of solving the potion problem is digestion, not mastery. This can be understood intuitively. “Mastery treats the potion’s power as an external tool, a tamed beast. No matter how well or skillfully one masters it, it still does not truly belong to oneself, and the risk of backlash remains high. Digestion treats the potion one has drunk as part of oneself: breaking it down, merging with it,…

Chapter Fifty-SixA Battle Royale at Sea Inside the fairly spacious living room, Anna and Joyce, having ended their embrace, sat down on separate sofas, with Anna’s parents between them. Joyce sighed with visible satisfaction. “Steam above, how fortunate I am to have returned alive, and to see Anna again.” “My poor Joyce, what exactly happened to you?” Anna could no longer restrain herself and asked with concern. Joyce glanced at his fiancée. His expression grew heavy. “Even…

Chapter Fifty-FiveRevelation Anna, with her beautiful eyes, hesitated for a dozen seconds before saying, “You may choose whichever method you believe to be most effective. You are the diviner, and I am not. Of course, aside from playing cards, including tarot cards. I have tried studying them at home and always feel they are more like toys, like a game.” Klein pondered briefly. Elbows resting against the edge of the table, hands clasped before his mouth and nose, he looked at her with calm eyes…

Chapter Fifty-FourThe First Querent Seeing Klein’s surprised expression, Angelica immediately wavered a little. “Is that not true? Mr. Glacis said that you relied only on observation to discover a hidden illness in his lungs…” Her voice grew quieter and quieter, until she finally closed her mouth. Observation? Darkness between the brows? Klein abruptly understood. Shaking his head, he laughed. “I believe Mr. Glacis misunderstood.” He had originally intended to brush the…

Chapter Fifty-ThreeListener Over a sea ravaged by storms, an ancient three-masted sailing ship rose and fell with the waves. It was not fast, nor was it especially large. Amid this disastrous scene where sky and sea merged into one, it looked like a withered leaf torn from a tree. Yet no matter how savage the hurricane grew or how terrifying the waves became, it sailed on safely, never tilting. Alger Wilson stood on the empty deck, gazing at the towering waves around him, not knowing what he was…

Chapter Fifty-TwoSpectator “Do not think about that damned bill anymore. Let us discuss ritual magic.” With an easy expression, Old Neil began putting away the candles, cauldron, silver knife, and other objects. Klein very much wanted to shrug like an American from his previous life, but in the end he restrained the ungentlemanly motion. He turned his attention back to ritual magic itself, asking one detailed question after another about the points that had puzzled him. Each received a…
