Chapter 19: Loen-Style Subtlety Late at night, at 7 Pinster Street. Leonard Mitchell sat down in his chair, lifted both feet, and stretched them onto the edge of the desk. Then he leaned back. The wooden joints of the chair creaked beneath the pressure, and his breathing gradually grew long and even. After an unknown length of time, his eyelids drooped, covering his eyes. By then, Leonard’s spirit had entered a gray and hazy world, though the place he occupied was still his own…-

Chapter 18: Attraction? Having read many magazines, Klein knew that the circles he wished to enter frequently held balls, so Butler Walter’s suggestion did not surprise him. He nodded. “Very well.” After speaking, he turned to his personal valet Richardson. “Prepare the carriage. I am going to Saint Samuel Cathedral.” Klein remembered very clearly that his primary goal was to play the part of a devout believer of the Evernight Goddess, come into contact with the corresponding…

Chapter 17: The Authority of the Moon After entering the house, the first thing Klein saw was an entrance hall. It was extraordinarily spacious, furnished with multiple chairs and umbrella stands, arranged with elegance and decorated with propriety. Had he not known the layout in advance and inspected the place in person, Klein might even have mistaken it for a drawing room. Through the second set of doors, the view before him suddenly opened up, revealing a hall large enough for dozens, even a…

Chapter 16: Call and Response Inside the Thunder Church, the dome soared high overhead, with arches linking one into the next. Murals covered the surrounding walls without leaving the slightest blank space. Gold and blue dominated the colors, making anyone walking within instinctively feel the sacred solemnity of the place and unconsciously lower their head. Alger Wilson often came into contact with hidden existences and had long attended gatherings in a palace like a divine residence. He no longer…

Chapter 15: First Kill Beneath the crimson yet dim moonlight, Emlyn took out a small metal vial, twisted off its cap, and gulped down its contents. Then he seemed to melt into shadow, gliding over walls and across the ground as he swiftly and silently followed Rus Bathory. The Sanguine had always been known for their speed. One baron ahead and one behind, the two raced through gloomy alleys and along the edges of lightless streets. After more than half an hour, they arrived in the chaotic, filthy…

Chapter 14: The Same Night After listening to the Hanged Man’s account, Klein inevitably thought once more of Red Angel Medici and of the evil spirit within the underground ruins. However, he did not share what he had discovered during the recent exploration. First, there was no need for the moment. Second, it involved Miss Sharron. As for the other members, they had already learned of Bansy Harbor’s destruction last time, and the Hanged Man had not revealed any new intelligence. Naturally,…

Chapter 13: Knowledge Is Money Finally… The moment the transaction was settled, Klein quietly let out a breath of relief, feeling the pressure on his shoulders ease by quite a bit. Although Miss Messenger had said that the ten thousand Loen gold coins could be repaid in installments, and had not specified when repayment had to begin, Klein still did not want to delay for too long. He was afraid of angering Reinette Tinekerr. This was a demigod-level creature of the spirit world. If she truly…

Chapter 12: Sold I shouldn’t be unfamiliar with Mr. Door? Aside from Mr. Fool, the only high-level, high-status beings I can claim any familiarity with are the seven gods, and the only church I have ever entered is the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery… As the Magician Fors felt confused, she rapidly searched through her memories for all the high-level existences she had ever come into contact with. Because there were so few, she quickly eliminated the other possibilities. Then her eyes…

Chapter 11: A Page of Diary Above the gray fog, inside the lofty-domed palace. Klein, the Fool, glanced at the Sun, whom he had pulled in ahead of time, and at the World, whom he had manifested in advance. Then, right on schedule, he extended his spirituality and touched the crimson stars representing Justice, the Hanged Man, the Magician, the Moon, and the Hermit. One beam after another rose up. Blurred figures appeared on either side of the long bronze table. Justice Audrey had just returned…

Chapter 10: Settled After a brief silence, Klein lifted his black tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, “That is one option, and it may be considered. However, Emperor Roselle once said that one should never rush into a decision. Only through repeated comparison can the best answer be found. “Are there any other choices?” Wearing white gloves, Walter spoke without the slightest change in expression. “Phelps Street can also satisfy your requirements. I recall that No. 9 is currently…
