Chapter One Hundred Fifty-FourSharing “Experience” Looking into Klein’s eyes, Dunn drew a breath, leaned back, and slowly exhaled. “You are certain?” His expression changed very little. It was as though he had long since prepared himself for a special application, merely not expected it to arrive this quickly. Captain, why do I get the feeling that you just breathed out in relief and feel steadier now… Klein did not conceal his smile. “I am certain, Captain. When you have…-

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-ThreeThe Final Groundwork A distinctive broad jaw, an ancient warrior’s hair knot, and eyes that seemed to hold an icy smile… Half-lying, half-sitting on the sofa, Xio Derecha carefully studied the sketch Audrey had given her. In her eyes, this was a living, walking pile of gold pounds. After engraving the appearance of the great pirate Qilangos deep into her mind, she looked down and began reading the additional description. “Brown hair, dark-green…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-TwoA Decent Attempt The gray-white, hazy fog spread as though it had existed since time immemorial. Crimson, illusory stars hung at varying distances. Klein sat within the grand palace like a giant’s residence, quietly gazing at everything familiar before him. After several seconds, he withdrew his gaze and willed a sheet of yellow-brown parchment to appear before him. Then he picked up the pen and wrote down the summoning ritual he had altered: “Light one candle to…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-OneKlein’s Request The calls of night owls accompanied the chirring of insects, echoing across the road from the abandoned castle toward the town. Azik looked ahead and remained silent for several seconds before saying, “Although I am still not completely certain, I already have some thoughts. “Perhaps—perhaps I am a person who has lived for a very, very long time.” Mr. Azik, you could actually seriously consider whether you still fall within the category of…

Chapter One Hundred FiftyAzik’s Discovery Number 2, Daffodil Street. Klein nodded once to Azik, then quickly walked to the front door, took out his key, and opened it. Melissa, who had already returned home, heard the lock turn and hurried from the kitchen toward the sitting room. When she saw Klein, her eyes brightened and she said, “I bought the ingredients already. There is chicken, potatoes, onions, meat fish, turnips, and peas. I also bought a small jar of honey.” Little sister, have…

Chapter One Hundred Forty-NineBarefaced Groundwork Klein looked at the serious and proper Dunn Smith. Suddenly, he smiled. “Captain, I figured something out yesterday.” “What is it?” Dunn repeated the question from moments ago, leaning back slightly against his chair as his clasped hands loosened. Klein recalled the outline he had prepared earlier and said, “I was summarizing my previous experiences, and I believe the name of a potion itself contains a complete set—or series—of…

Chapter One Hundred Forty-EightMessenger Klein’s answer made Daly chuckle. The semi-transparent face that had only a mouth said, “Even if you drew inspiration from the maxim of the Mystery Pryers and confirmed your thoughts through my experiences and behavior, clearly recognizing ‘acting’ in just over a month and summarizing your own ‘Seer’s code’ is still enough to prove that you possess outstanding intelligence and an open mind.” Klein did not dwell on a topic that made him feel…

Chapter One Hundred Forty-SevenLate-Night Visitor Inside the private detective agency. “Sir, your commission is complete,” Henry, the private detective with the smoke-and-liquor voice, said to the gentleman before him, who wore a black tailcoat, half-top silk hat, and dark face-covering mask. He sounded as though he had finally breathed out in relief. “This truly was not an easy task. It was not difficult, but it consumed far too much of our energy. To be frank, I regret it deeply. I regret…

Chapter One Hundred Forty-SixCreeping Hunger “What is special about Qilangos’s mystical item?” Audrey asked, now with a fair bit of confidence. She had seriously considered the matter just now and discovered that, in Backlund, she actually possessed rather respectable ability when it came to finding someone. First, her father stood among the very wealthiest nobles. He had an excellent reputation and wide connections. Audrey herself was well liked among the younger generation as well. In the…

Chapter One Hundred Forty-FiveA Request for Cooperation Certain pathways can be mutually substituted after Sequence 5? That is not the same as what the Nighthawks say internally! Isn’t it supposed to be impossible to change once one has chosen a pathway? Isn’t straying onto the wrong path said to grant bizarre, strange abilities, but inevitably make one half-mad and unable to advance ever again? There are actually exceptions hidden within this! Klein’s pupils contracted slightly as he…
