Chapter 78: Traditional Art Above the gray fog, inside the palace, Klein held the Sea God Scepter and stared at the Black Emperor card and the Tyrant card laid out on the table before him, his expression rather grave. Although Viscount Stratford’s answer could only prove that King George III hid an enormous secret, that he had played a key role in the Great Smog of Backlund, and that he was very likely the greatest culprit, it could not show that he had directed everything and was the true…-

Chapter 77: The Death of Mason Dill His Majesty the King… Hearing Viscount Stratford’s answer, Xio was momentarily dazed. Her heart filled with confusion. She found it difficult to understand why Shermane had deliberately approached this captain of the royal guards merely to investigate whom he truly served. It did not seem to be anything particularly important or valuable. And Viscount Stratford’s answer had been perfectly orthodox, with not the slightest fault to be found. Shermane gave…

Chapter 76: Answer Inside the violent tornado, Viscount Stratford was like a helpless leaf blown down by a gale, liable to be torn to pieces at any moment. In this state, he could not make any response at all, let alone open his mouth to speak. He could only rely on the powerful body of a Disciplinary Paladin to hold on bitterly, hoping that he would not lose an arm or a head inside the terrifying hurricane. He had originally thought that this hunt had already succeeded, that Trissy was about to…

Chapter 75: Cross Hearing Fors’s question, Xio hesitated briefly before saying, “We’ve been discovered…” They had said something similar earlier, but repeating it now did not carry the same meaning. Previously, it meant that the matter of recognizing Sherman had been discovered by the other party’s hidden protector or monitor. Now, the emphasis was that their own choices and corresponding actions were all within the expectations—or arrangements—of the person behind the scenes, and…

Chapter 74: A Demoness’s Methods As thoughts flashed rapidly, Klein abruptly switched places with his personal valet Enuni in the neighboring room. Under a grapevine about one hundred and fifty meters from the manor’s main building, a slowly crawling centipede suddenly stiffened, then relaxed. Almost at the same time, its figure vanished from where it had been, and Dwayne Dantès, dressed in blue-and-white checkered pajamas, appeared there. Klein had switched positions with a marionette…

Chapter 73: Patience “How was it? Did you get a clear look?” Fors had only just left the street where Viscount Stratford’s residence was located when she saw Xio walking back with a gloomy expression, looking somewhat lost. Xio hesitantly nodded. “I got a clear look…” After saying that, she seemed to finally come back to herself. Rather shocked, she said, “I know her. No, him!” “Him?” Fors was completely puzzled. Xio habitually observed her surroundings before…

Chapter 72: Unexpected Queen Borough, beside Viscount Stratford’s residence. Fors and Xio, both wearing black dresses, hid together in a dark corner, watching the tightly shut iron-barred gate and patiently waiting for their target to appear. There was no rain tonight, so they did not have to face an especially difficult environment. And the carriage stopped at the edge of the streetlamp’s glow told them that they would definitely gain something. It was only a matter of sooner or…

Chapter 71: Rose Song Manor Backlund, Queen Borough, in the outskirts leaning slightly northwest, more than an hour away by carriage, Rose Song Manor was built along the Tussock River. Its surroundings were scenic, and within the estate, flowers and trees flourished in abundance. Strangely enough, Backlund’s urban district was cloudy and rainy year-round, with relatively little sunlight, yet in its outskirts, the cloud layers were often thin and the sunlight brilliant. Clearly not far apart, the…

Chapter 70: News from the Numinous Episcopate 160 Böklund Street, Dwayne Dantès’s residence. Klein stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the drizzling rain descend with the wind, strike the ground, fall against the glass, and interweave into a net. Ever since autumn began, Backlund had once again become rainy. This brought a lingering coldness and dampness that refused to leave. For a long while, Klein did not move. Against the blurred rainy scenery, he silently gazed into the…

Chapter 69: The Footsteps of War Backlund, inside the home of the furniture merchant Humphreys. Audrey once again met Hvin Rambis, a member of the Psychology Alchemists’ Review Council. This elderly gentleman remained gentle, refined, and scholarly. His thick, pure-white hair was combed neatly, and his deep-blue eyes seemed to contain countless pieces of knowledge. The instant she saw him, Audrey’s gaze first turned blank, then dawned with realization, as though she had finally awakened…
