Chapter 52: Reputation Takes a Hit Madam Willis glanced at Dawn Dantes’s face and laughed, not minding at all. “Your past—your experiences in Desi Bay and the Southern Continent—are more exciting than every novel I have read. They make one wish to experience the same things.” Of course. This is adapted from a true story. Thanks to Anderson Hood, a hunter who is always running around everywhere… As Klein shifted his gaze toward the small cream cake, he laughed softly and said,…-

Chapter 51: The Art of Communication When he heard the illusory, layered voice of prayer, Klein was attending a dinner at Portland Moment’s home. Because of the time difference, the evening here was still underway. A dinner like this began at half past seven and could last all the way until half past nine, or even ten. Appetizers, soup, side dishes, main courses, staple foods, vegetables, fruits, desserts, and so on added up to more than a dozen—sometimes nearly twenty—separate courses. Footmen…

Chapter 50: Saturday Night Early Saturday morning, Klein, dressed in his pajamas, rubbed his head and turned over to get out of bed. He had not slept well at all last night, because whenever he dreamed, different female figures inevitably appeared in a chaotic mess. Then he would be frightened awake and have to spend several minutes calming his emotions before falling asleep again. Fortunately, the weakness only lasts six hours. And in the middle of the night, I don’t need to go out or face the…

Chapter 49: Negative Effect After gazing at Mr. X’s corpse for a while, Klein suppressed the impulse to personally loot the spoils of battle. He had the Wraith Senor, standing nearby, take two steps forward and remove the gold ring inlaid with ruby. This way, even if the items Mr. X carried possessed unimaginable negative effects, they would be borne by the marionette and would not affect Klein himself. After a careful inspection, Senor returned with the ruby ring, forty-eight pounds in cash,…

Chapter 48: Extraction Walter came to the third floor, bent his finger, and knocked on the master bedroom door. “Who is it?” Dawn Dantes’s somewhat weak and hoarse voice came from within. Walter turned the handle and pushed the door open a crack. “Sir, Bishop Elektra has come to visit you. “Would you like to see him in the parlor or sitting room, or invite him directly to the bedroom?” Normally, visitors were not permitted to enter the host’s bedroom. It was an extremely…

Chapter 47: One Shot The three kinds of paper in Leymano’s Travels differed clearly by touch. The white paper, which could only record abilities from Sequence 7, Sequence 8, and Sequence 9, was smooth on the surface and thin to the touch. The yellow-brown parchment corresponding to Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 felt like tanned leather, extremely flexible. As for the three scorched-yellow pages capable of recording divine powers, they were thick and textured, allowing one to distinguish them efficiently…

Chapter 46: One Plus One Is Greater Than Two As Klein passed through the living room, his spiritual intuition was stirred. He felt invisible gazes being cast at him from unknown places, sweeping over his body. He pretended to have noticed nothing and entered the sitting room ahead. After examining the environment, he found a seat neither too close nor too far from the host’s position. The instant he crossed the doorway, all those gazes vanished. If the Wraith weren’t isolated by three…

Chapter 45: A Crazed Configuration Friday afternoon, Klein, who had feigned illness and skipped the literary salon, once again arrived above the gray fog. Before him lay a palm-sized, copper-green notebook with a shell that looked extremely hard. It was precisely Leymano’s Travels, provided by the Magician Fors. Turning this object, which was in truth closer to a magic book, to one of its pages, Klein glanced at the scorched yellow color. Then he raised his hand and summoned the Sea God Scepter…

Chapter 44: Preparations in Advance With afternoon tea canceled, Klein temporarily decided to go to Saint Samuel Cathedral and pray, so as to display his piety. Of course, he did not forget to stop and admire the white pigeons in the square, making himself appear leisurely and composed. Entering the cathedral and passing beneath the murals illuminated by sunlight from high above, Klein arrived at the dim, profound grand prayer hall. Unlike other Churches, this place was not lavishly decorated,…

Chapter 43: Making Use Viscount Stratford… the royal family’s Chamberlain… Judging from that position, there truly was the shadow of a certain royal faction behind the Great Smog of Backlund. As for who exactly, that still required investigation… For the moment, Klein had no way to verify Trissy’s answer, so he merely had Senor give a low chuckle. “You told me that clue so easily. That makes it hard for me to believe.” With a hint of derision and self-mockery, Trissy said,…
