Chapter Thirty-FiveExchanging News Roselle Gustav’s secret diary? Emperor Roselle? Audrey was first stunned. Then, almost immediately, she discovered that she did not feel surprised at all. As expected. Only a matter like this would be worthy of a powerhouse on Mr. Fool’s level… It was said that Emperor Roselle had once seen the Blasphemy Slate. It was said that the secret deck of cards he created concealed the twenty-two pathways of the divine. This was the kind of matter every…-

Chapter Thirty-FourAdvance Payment Inside a windowless basement, Alger Wilson sat beside a long table covered with all kinds of vessels and parchment scrolls. His face, rough and deeply carved, was lit from below by wavering yellow light. Before him stood a candle burned halfway down. Its dim flame cast unstable shadows over the objects nearby and across the surface of the table, making everything there seem half-real, half-phantom. Alger’s hair was as messy as seaweed, a deep blue so dark it…

Chapter Thirty-ThreeThe “Switch” No sooner had Old Neil finished speaking than the illusory eyes in the darkness behind him quickly vanished. Even with spirit vision active, Klein could no longer find any trace that they had ever existed. “That was the manifestation of a ritual magic,” Old Neil explained with a chuckle. A little magical… Is spirit vision basically an upgraded yin-yang eye? Klein felt like a child who had received a new toy. Full of curiosity, he shifted his gaze…

Chapter Thirty-TwoSpirit Vision Klein looked at the dark-blue viscous liquid—something difficult to say whether it was a cup of drink or a solid lump—and swallowed with some effort. “Do I just drink it like this?” “No additional preparation? A ritual, an incantation, or a prayer?” Old Neil gave an “uh,” then said, “Preparation? There is some. First, have a glass of Intis Olmir wine. Then smoke a Desi cigar. After that, hum a melodious tune and perform a light court dance. Tap…

Chapter Thirty-OnePotion Dunn Smith’s gray eyes looked straight into Klein’s. For an entire minute, he did not speak. Under the pressure of such silence, such a gaze, Klein did not retreat and did not look away. He met Dunn’s eyes steadily. “You should understand,” Dunn finally said again, his voice low and empty of emotion, “that once you take a potion, there is no chance for regret.” Klein smiled. “I know. But I respect the voice of my heart.” First, Sleepless did not…

Numbers 2, 4, and 6 Daffodil Street were a row of attached buildings with polygonal hipped roofs, their overall exterior a grayish blue. Three chimneys stood out conspicuously above them. There was, of course, no lawn, no garden, and no porch. The entrance faced the street directly. Scarter from the Tingen City Improved Housing Company held a ring of copper keys. As he opened the front door, he introduced the house. “Our row houses do not have entrance halls. Once you step inside, you are in the…

Chapter Twenty-Nine“Career” and Housing Are Serious Matters Klein made every effort not to show anything strange. With genuine curiosity, he asked, “What abilities does a Seer have?” “Your question is not precise enough. It should be: what abilities does one obtain after drinking a Seer potion?” Dunn Smith shook his head with a smile. His gray eyes and face were turned away from the red moon, hidden in shadow. “Astrology, card divination, pendulums, spirit vision, and many similar…

Chapter Twenty-EightThe Secret Order Thump! Thump! Thump! Klein’s heart suddenly began beating with ferocious force. It clenched into a tight knot, then swelled violently outward, making his body tremble faintly along with it. For an instant, he almost forgot what he needed to do, what he ought to do. Only when the intruder’s figure suddenly paused and tilted his head slightly, as if hearing some change in the room, did the “blood” seem to flow back down from Klein’s brain. His basic…

Chapter Twenty-SevenDinner for Three Siblings Truly sharp… Klein laughed aloud. Drawing upon his rich “experience” from before transmigration, he joined the attack with another line. “In fact, there is no evidence whatsoever proving those great personages have brains.” “Good! Very good!” Benson burst into laughter and gave him a thumbs-up. “Klein, you have become much more humorous than before.” After catching his breath, he continued, “I still have to go to the…

Chapter Twenty-SixPractice Tap. Tap. Tap. Footsteps echoed through the narrow, shadowed corridor, carrying far into the silence without any other sound to disturb them. Klein kept his back straight and followed the middle-aged priest at an even pace. He asked no questions, made no idle conversation, and held himself calm as a windless lake. After passing through a heavily guarded passage, the middle-aged priest took out a key and opened a hidden door. Pointing toward the stone stairway leading…
