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…-

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-ThreeVarious Signs What? Klein was stunned by Rozanne’s question. Somewhat blankly, he recalled, “When I went to Old Neil’s house before, just last month, I saw a piano in the living room. He told me that his deceased wife had loved music…” As he spoke, Klein suddenly shuddered, inexplicably seized by a bad feeling. Rozanne furrowed her pretty brows and said with some uncertainty, “Maybe I remembered wrongly… No, that is not right. In the first half of…

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-TwoBlazing Sunlight Faint light entered through the narrow stained-glass windows high above, lending a little visibility to the dim interior of Morse Church. Klein sat quietly in the first row of seats to the left of the aisle, his silk hat resting on his knees, his cane leaning against his leg, his gaze fixed on the altar ahead. No statue was enshrined there. There was only an enormous Dark Sacred Emblem: a deep black background studded with brilliant points of light,…

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-OneThe Inverted Mausoleum Most buildings in Morse Town followed styles from a century earlier, and the most eye-catching among them was the black church with its pointed spire. After settling the carriage, Klein and the others swiftly finished a lunch of bread, toast, bacon, butter, and coffee. “Under Sealed Artifact 3-0782’s purification, we can still hold out for two hours and thirty-five minutes.” Standing before the church doors, Kernli took a gold-cased…

Chapter One Hundred SixtySeizing the Opportunity On Tuesday morning, having already finished his mysticism lessons, Klein did not, as before, find some quiet place to read internal materials such as Correspondences Between Ancient and Modern Names or Case Files of the Nighthawks. Instead, he lingered in the recreation room, playing cards with Leonard, Kernli, and Royale. I only asked Mr. Azik to create an opportunity to bring out Sealed Artifact 3-0782… Whether I can seize that opportunity depends…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-Nine“Bestowal” and “Sacrifice” On the yellow-brown parchment, twisted and wildly sprawling Chinese characters were written: “August 2nd. This pool of water is deeper than I imagined. History really is a little girl anyone can dress up however they like.” “August 5th. Today, I witnessed the strength of a high-Sequence powerhouse. It was simply terrifying. In a certain respect, they have undergone a qualitative change and become like gods. No wonder they have…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-EightPreparedness Prevents Trouble Miss Justice can always keep such a cheerful mood. How enviable. I wish I could be like that too… Hearing that light, brisk greeting, Klein, seated upright at the head of the bronze long table, could not help sighing silently to himself. But then he remembered that the other party could casually take out one thousand pounds in cash, and suddenly felt that maintaining a mood as pleasant as Miss Justice’s would be very difficult for…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-SevenThe Object of His Dreams “No, we are not—” Before Klein could finish his rebuttal, Benson interrupted him with a smile. “Although Elizabeth is indeed a little young, and although her family situation is considerably better than ours, I think the two of you are quite well suited. You would only have to wait several years. She is attending public school and intends to enter university, so marriage would be at least six or seven years away. Of course, you could…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-SixFar-Sighted Melissa And on top of that, I also paid one extra portion of merit for the Clown formula… This is all the sin I brought upon myself back when I tried to split the credit into two rounds… Forget it. Recently, there has not been any good opportunity to say that I actually already know the Clown potion formula… Klein drew in a breath and forced out a smile. “I hope the examination goes smoothly.” He agreed with both hands and feet with Dunn’s…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-FiveAn Urgent Meeting After settling his emotions, Klein went underground and arrived outside Chanis Gate. He knocked on the open doorway of the guard room. Royale Reideen, seated inside, had long since packed up her personal belongings. Seeing her relief arrive, she immediately smoothed her hair and stood, preparing to leave. After the two nodded at each other in greeting, Klein suddenly spoke. “My progress in mastering the potion has been rather good. I just shared…
