Chapter Seventy-EightSeller and Notary in One There is a high probability they will appear… Klein controlled The World and let out a low, gloomy chuckle. “Yes. I indeed do not yet have the Wind-blessed potion formula, nor can I find a way to obtain it in the short term. “But I possess an incomplete formula for a Sequence 4 potion. “Although it is incomplete, I believe you should understand its value. At the very least, it can exchange for ten thousand gold pounds. And most of the…-

Chapter Seventy-SevenAn Indirect Push I remember that the simple mission Mr. Fool gave was only meant to examine two possible candidates for joining the gathering. Its rough content was to find the person in the portrait, and that person was confirmed to be in Backlund… Alger Wilson worked hard to recall what had happened at the previous gathering, yet the more he thought about it, the less he understood what any of it had to do with a hotbed for an evil god’s descent. Was it not just finding…

Chapter Seventy-SixSpeculation and Investigation Audrey, believing she had grasped the truth, could not stop herself from imagining the scene Viscount Glaint had described: Lanevus lying in darkness, in filth, his body covered with tarot card after tarot card. There would be The Fool, Justice, The Hanged Man, The Sun, The World, other major arcana, and numerous number cards. Some would be reversed, some upright, some not yet turned over and showing only their backs, as though it were an enormous,…

Chapter Seventy-FiveA Scene Full of Symbolism Inside the sewer, where no light shone, Klein wiped his neck and turned his attention back to Lanevus’s cracked skull and headless corpse, back to the two tarot cards stuck in the man’s eyes. Originally, he had wanted to retrieve all the “flying knives” he had thrown and erase the corresponding clues. But he soon discovered a very real, very serious problem: He had no darkvision. The reason he had been able to run madly through that…

Chapter Seventy-FourA Fight to the Death The instant their gazes met, Lanevus abruptly bent at the waist and rolled forward. Clang! A tarot card depicting an angel and a trumpet stabbed sharply into the sewer wall like a flying knife. Its height happened to be exactly level with where Lanevus’s neck had been a moment earlier. Clang! Clang! Clang! Lanevus rolled, leapt to the side, and threw himself forward. With extraordinary agility, he avoided three more cards coming one after another,…

Chapter Seventy-ThreeA Mocking Smile Atop the clock tower of East Balam Dock, Klein, wearing a clown mask and concealed within deep darkness, had been quietly gazing at the dock workers’ union dormitory and at the airship hovering above it. He could not see the concrete process of the battle, much less know exactly what stage the operation inside the brick-red building had reached. All he could do was force himself to endure, judging whether things were good or bad from the changes in the…

Chapter Seventy-TwoMidnight Clock Tower Audrey had already agreed with Xio and Fors on emergency contact methods. Through the golden retriever Susie, she very quickly passed Mr. Fool’s hint to the two ladies as information she had obtained through another channel. In the corner of an old church, Xio unfolded the paper ball while thinking about how to confirm Lanevus’s identity, how to create chaos, and how to seize the opportunity to avenge Williams. …No need to confirm. That is…

Chapter Seventy-OneInstinctive Trembling Three in the afternoon, East Balam Dock, Dock Union. Klein wore a thick sweater beneath a brownish-yellow jacket, with a simple soft cap on his head, shaping himself more like a common investigative reporter than the kind who often attended banquets and interviewed people of rank and status. This outfit had cost him an extra one pound ten soli. At the moment, he wore gold-rimmed glasses. His hair was neatly combed back, glistening with the sheen of pomade.…

Chapter SeventyDock Union Xio had been in the bounty hunter trade for a long time. Many things no longer needed thought; she could respond by pure instinct. The moment she saw that the customer who had entered was almost two meters tall, she instinctively lowered her head and continued eating her pork sausage and fries as though nothing had happened. Food entered her mouth, but she could not taste a thing. She endured bitterly for dozens of seconds before slowly lifting her head and pretending to…

Chapter Sixty-NineThis Is the East Borough Inside the nearly abandoned medical college teaching building, the gathering had already ended. Audrey, who was leaving by a circuitous route, suddenly fell into a daze and saw the familiar dense gray fog, along with the blurry figure seated high at its center. “This is a clue.” Accompanying Mr. Fool’s deep voice was a scene like a photograph—and a colored photograph at that. A man almost two meters tall, though not particularly burly, stood…
