Chapter 26: Nast’s Memories Only after the pressure eased did Klein casually pull over a chair and place it by the door, sitting opposite the King of the Five Seas, Nast, across the hall. Although that pirate king stood over 1.9 meters tall and sat atop a half-height black platform in a position of looking down from above, Klein did not appear at a disadvantage at all. He even casually put the tall top hat back on his head. After a brief silence, Nast, who held the orthodox title of White Maple…-

Chapter 25: Restraint On the passenger ship’s lookout platform, a sharp, resonant horn sounded, piercing through the barrier woven from wind and rain and waking every passenger. They did not even have time to dress properly. Some draped coats over themselves; some came in their sleepwear; some ran barefoot to the windows and began examining the situation outside. Half of them soon saw the enormous three-masted sailboat that defied common sense. They saw its three pitch-black sails and the…

Chapter 24: A Talent for Fundraising After blankly following Ernest Boyar for some distance, Emlyn gradually began considering giving up. He glanced at the increasingly heavy rain outside the arcade and could not stop himself from thinking: “How should I punish Ernest? Although he was likely following orders or hints when he did this, he is still very detestable! “As for Lord Nibais… I currently—currently do not have the ability. Once I, once I become a marquis or a duke, I will…

Chapter 23: Duke Backlund, West Borough, inside the Odra family’s villa. Summoned there, Emlyn White removed his hat, took off his coat, and entered the sitting room to wait. Inside the room, besides him, were several other Sanguine whom the great figure had named and asked to meet. Emlyn swept his gaze around, then chose a seat beside a man whose nose bridge was so high that it appeared somewhat deformed. This man had brown hair and red eyes. His facial lines were deeply carved, and he held…

Chapter 22: The “Descended” Saint As the cloth doll stood upright, its eyes, which possessed not the slightest spark of life and were completely unable to turn, gazed toward the area untouched by the crimson moonlight. The man with the small red swelling on his face and the other cultists had originally been standing there quietly. Now, one after another, they lowered their heads and raised their hands, as though assuming a posture of prayer, piously listening to the “divine oracle.” Only two…

Chapter 21: “Divine Oracle” At night, cold wind howled across the platform, making the hanging gas lamps sway unsteadily. In such a scene, the dim yellow light stretched longer and shorter by turns, causing the steam train that stood silently on the tracks to intermittently break free from darkness and intermittently sink back into shadow. It gave off an increasingly indescribable sense of eerie, deathly silence. At that moment, a squad of police officers in black-and-white checkered uniforms…

Chapter 20: Train Seeing Alfred look over, Klein smiled in return and nodded lightly. “I suddenly feel a little danger.” After saying this, he calmly turned and walked toward the carriage Haggis had pointed to. “Danger…” Alfred repeated the word in a low voice and warily looked around, yet he did not discover anything strange. He slowed his pace, paying attention to his surroundings at every moment, and returned with abnormal caution to the three-story building not far…

Chapter 19: A Brief Crisis On the top floor of the small building, a man in dark clothes, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with black hair and brown eyes, looked down at the arms transaction not far away for a while before finally being unable to hold himself back. “He actually went to Mesanyes? Oh, Storms above, Alfred, if I’d known this earlier, we might as well have taken this mission ourselves. Even after deducting all kinds of expenses, we could have earned at least twenty…

Chapter 18: The Cause of Medici’s Death As expected… Having verified his own thoughts, Leonard no longer dwelled on that matter and returned to the main topic. “Old Man, didn’t you just ask whose dream I visited? “Mm. During the revenge against Ince Zangwill that day, Amon’s brother, a certain King of Angels, appeared.” Inside his mind, the slightly aged voice did not immediately respond. Only after several seconds did it sigh. “As I expected, matters involving 0-08 will…

Chapter 17: A Problem of Intelligence From what Leonard knew, among the great nobles of the Tudor Empire during the Fourth Epoch, the Abraham family ranked first, surpassing even the Amon family that possessed the Blasphemer. Of course, he was not sure whether the so-called Amon family might have been formed entirely from that godson’s avatars, with no other members at all. Miss Magician is actually an important member of the Abraham family… No one here is simple… Is this what they call a…
