Chapter One Hundred FortyExpert at Courting Death “The source of this drop of golden liquid.” After silently reciting the divination statement seven times, Klein held the parchment in one hand and the virtual golden liquid in the other, then leaned back against the chair. He did not know whether he could perform divination relying on an item manifested and separated purely through feeling. He could only make a bold assumption and then carefully seek proof. Within a few seconds, Klein’s…-

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-NineStudying “3-0782” The crimson before his eyes vanished, and Derrick Berg once more saw his own bedroom. He saw the pure crystal ball. Crack! The crystal ball shattered from within. Some pieces turned into sheets of illusory light and flew into the surrounding emptiness, while others clattered to the floor, each fragment sparkling. Derrick stared at the scene in silence. From the reflection in a nearby bronze mirror, he saw streaks of dried blood crossing his…

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-EightThe “Giant” Pathway The Lord who created everything… the omniscient and omnipotent God… Klein leaned back, maintaining his profound posture while silently repeating the key phrases from the City of Silver boy’s words. He was not unfamiliar with “the Lord who created everything.” The Creator mentioned in The Book of Storms, The Revelation of Evernight, and folk legends bore a similar title. The “True Creator,” worshiped by secret organizations such…

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-SevenThe City of Silver The City of Silver, mortuary hall. Derrick stood before the steps, eyes red as he stared ahead—at his parents lying separately inside two coffins. Before him, a plain silver straight sword had been stabbed into the stone floor. It trembled slightly amid the thunder that shook the building from time to time. Inside the coffins, Mr. and Mrs. Berg had not truly died. They struggled to keep their eyes open, their breathing sometimes faint,…

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-SixKlein’s Dilemma No way… Could Mr. Azik be the so-called first Baron Lamud? That would make him someone from fourteen or fifteen hundred years ago… No, wait. How could I be certain the person in the portrait is the first Baron Lamud? Klein stared at the oil painting, his mind descending into chaos, as though he had suddenly discovered that everyone around him had turned into monsters, or that the entire world was merely a dream dreamed by some deity. He…

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-FiveThe Baron’s Portrait “There is something wrong there.” Klein pointed toward the step separating the sitting hall from the dining room and spoke in a grave, cautious voice. He had seen in the Nighthawks’ internal materials that if something similar appeared in one’s intuition, it often meant that the target position concealed something evil and filthy. If one did not possess sufficient confidence, it was best not to try touching it. Otherwise, it would be…

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-FourMore Than a Minute Has Passed Captain, that is exactly the question I hoped you would ask! Klein nodded seriously. “I feel better. I even think I could pass the Sanctuary’s examination right now. It is a kind of experience and confidence that cannot really be described in words.” Thinking that his previous answer might have been a little vague, he could not help adding, “Perhaps the name of the potion truly is the key. When I strictly act as a diviner…

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-ThreeMoney-Burning Charms Hearing Klein’s answer, Elizabeth immediately became nervous. Her speech unconsciously sped up. “Can you help me divine what exactly caused it? It would be even better if you could divine a solution…” At most, divination can give a direction for the solution—and even then it will be symbolic, vague, and easy to misinterpret… Of course, you are lucky. I am not merely a simple diviner. I am also a true mysticism scholar… After…

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-TwoSeeing the “Monster” Again After finding excuses to temporarily dismiss the maids, Audrey locked the bedroom door behind them, turned around, and looked toward Susie, the golden retriever that might no longer count as merely her pet. “Did you hear—or, um, encounter anything?” The large golden retriever sat there with remarkable steadiness. She gave an awooo, vibrating the air around her as she spoke. “Yes. In the study, I heard the Earl and several…

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-OneA Transaction Mr. A? That feels more like a criminal code name than the title of a mysterious powerhouse… It cannot compare with the Fool at all… No. Those who can be compared with Mr. Fool should be gods or great figures only slightly beneath gods… With that thought, Audrey was suddenly filled with a sense of superiority. She calmly looked at Mr. A, then lowered her voice and asked Fors and Xio Derecha, “Does this gentleman have any notable…
