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…

Chapter One Hundred SeventyThe Copper Whistle Klein turned toward the Captain’s office and saw the door standing open. Dunn Smith was leaning back in his chair, quietly sniffing his pipe. His gray eyes swept over Klein, and Dunn adjusted his sitting posture. “Your condition is very good. You do not look at all like someone who has just consumed a potion.” “Perhaps that is the benefit of advancing after completely digesting the previous potion,” Klein said. He casually closed the door…

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-NineNew Abilities When the color of Klein’s eyes returned to normal, Crestet Cesimir smiled. “You may move around a little, adapt to the changes in your body, and find the core abilities brought by the Clown potion.” Klein nodded. Thinking that he might need guidance from the high-ranking deacon, he did not worry about having an outsider present. Following the movements he had repeatedly practiced over this period, he stepped forward, twisted his waist, swung his…

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-EightThe “Clown” Potion Hoo. I finally passed… Just like that, I passed… Hearing Crestet Cesimir’s declaration, Klein, though mentally prepared, first breathed out in relief. Then a faint bewilderment followed, as though the whole thing felt not quite real, like a dream. In his expectations, the examination should have been harder and much longer. Yet after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the current situation was exactly how it ought to be. If he had…

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-SevenSacred Relic “Very well.” Crestet Cesimir nodded and leaned forward slightly. “Then swear upon the sacred relic.” As he spoke, he bent and lifted the silver-white suitcase by his feet. Sacred relic? The one that earned him the title Sword of the Goddess? Klein looked with considerable curiosity at every movement the high-ranking deacon before him made. Crestet set the suitcase upon his knees. His dark-green eyes turned deep black in an…

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-SixExamination The wind blowing up from underground carried a chilling coldness, and within Klein’s tightly stretched nerves there was suddenly a faint sense of release. It is finally here… Once I get through this, for at least half a year, I will not need to worry about anything similar… As soon as I advance to Sequence 8 and become the so-called Clown, I will possess true practical combat ability. With divination as support and the Sunflame Charms as a…

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-FiveEpitaph “We are guardians. But we are also a group of poor wretches forever fighting against danger and madness.” Dunn’s words echoed inside Old Neil’s house. They echoed between the corroded floor, walls, and ceiling. They echoed inside Klein’s mind and heart. Never before had any moment made that sentence imprint itself upon him more deeply than now. He felt that perhaps he would never forget this feeling in his life—even if he one day returned to…

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-FourPoor Wretches The color of blood reflected in Klein’s eyes, staining his almost frozen gaze crimson. Just then, a light cough came from inside the house. Old Neil’s hoarse voice followed. “Dunn, what are all of you doing here?” Dunn’s gray eyes had grown unfathomably deep. In his mellow voice, calm and unhurried, he answered, “We heard that you were sick, so we came to visit.” The inside of the house abruptly fell silent. After several seconds, Old…
