Chapter One Hundred EightySmart People Always Overthink The moment Audrey heard the Fool’s question, she quietly pricked up her ears and entered her Spectator state, waiting for the Sun’s answer. She had always been extremely curious about where the City of Silver was and what made it so special, but she had felt too embarrassed to ask. After all, such a thing involved the other party’s privacy. Now, Mr. Fool was personally asking. To Audrey, it felt like finally having the chance to buy the…-

Chapter One Hundred Seventy-NinePraise Mr. Fool Hearing the Fool’s answer, the Hanged Man, Alger, quietly sighed in relief, lowered his head, and said humbly, “Please allow me to praise Your hearing in advance.” Because I am also very curious… very curious what kind of magical item could make a Sequence 6 Wind-blessed believe that obtaining it would give him the strength of Sequence 4… very curious what a pirate admiral wants to do in Backlund… Klein smiled faintly, maintaining his…

Chapter One Hundred Seventy-EightFollow-Up Ideas “Report it to the police?” Fors Wall repeated in astonishment. For Beyonders, voluntarily going to the police seemed like something from another world. Xio paced back and forth a few times, scratched at her messy blond hair, and said, “The scene of Darkholm’s death was so horrifying, so bizarre. As long as the police still have eyes, they will definitely hand it over to the Mandated Punishers, Nighthawks, Machinery Hivemind, or that special…

Chapter One Hundred Seventy-SevenOut of the Blue After sharing some amusing stories and gossip among nobles, Audrey stopped writing and adopted the appearance of seriously recalling things. Relying on a Spectator’s excellent memory, she organized all the fragments of speech and occasional teachings from her father, Earl Hall, along with partial information she had heard at banquets, balls, and salons. One by one, she arranged them into paragraphs. Only after drafting them in her mind did Audrey…

Chapter One Hundred Seventy-SixLetter To the current Klein, simple ritual magic had already become as familiar as eating and drinking. It did not take him long to prepare the materials and light the candle that symbolized himself. Looking at the wavering, dim-yellow flame on the desk, Klein suddenly had an inexplicably amusing thought. Does this count as lighting a candle for myself? What the hell am I thinking! … He reined in his thoughts, picked up black rot flower powder belonging to…

Chapter One Hundred Seventy-FiveSpeculation Lanevus? That criminal who swindled both money and women? He actually had some connection to Hood Eugen of the Psychology Alchemists… Klein froze for a moment, then immediately remembered what the name Lanevus represented.

A scoundrel who had deceived innocent women of both body and…

Chapter One Hundred Seventy-FourMadam Sharon “What?” Tolle, who resembled a brown bear, was startled. He looked at Klein, then at the guest room. With an agility his build should not have possessed, he rushed inside. He pulled away the white cloth covering the corpse, examined it carefully several times, then released a breath of relief. “It is better than I imagined. This is not too large a problem.” Perhaps I should have drawn my revolver and sent five Demon-hunting Bullets into…

Chapter One Hundred Seventy-ThreeCorpse Animation Before Klein could form a new thought, he saw Councilman Maynard’s entire body stiffen. With both hands propping himself up, carrying a heavy gust of wind, he lunged straight toward Klein—toward Klein’s left side. If it had been before, upon encountering such a sudden situation, Klein’s reaction would mostly have been sluggish, making it hard to dodge. Even if he had sensed it in advance, he would have had to roll and scramble to escape the…

Chapter One Hundred Seventy-Two“Autopsy” “How—how long has that councilman been dead?” Klein asked directly, even as he packed up and rose. If more than fifteen minutes had passed, the information he could obtain would drop off sharply. If more than an hour had passed, he could only gain rather superficial things. If more than a month had passed, even spirit channeling itself had a very high probability of failure. “Unfortunately, the preliminary examination report shows that…

Chapter One Hundred Seventy-OnePromotion and a Raise After leaving Azik’s home, Klein took a public carriage back to Daffodil Street. Click. He took out his key and opened the door, then suddenly saw a figure sitting inside the dining room. Klein instinctively tightened his grip on the cane in his hand, but immediately realized that it was not a thief. It was Bella, the maid-of-all-work. Bella was focused on reading the open newspaper spread across the table. Hearing the door open, she too…
