Chapter 9: Butler At nine in the morning, in a high-end hotel in the Hillston Borough. Klein picked up a beautifully packaged bottle of white wine and, with a smile, offered it to the elderly gentleman seated across from him. “Mr. Asnia, thank you very much for coming to speak with me in person. This is only a small gift. Please accept it. “I will make my decision by tomorrow at the latest. When the time comes, I may pay you a visit at your home.” This was his tactful way of informing…-

Chapter 8: Self-Recommendation “Moon Puppet…” Fors’s heart stirred. She withdrew her drifting attention and turned toward the gathering member who had just spoken. The gentleman wearing an iron-black mask had already taken out a small puppet and was displaying it to everyone. “A friend of mine discovered a small burial ground deep in the Paz Valley on the Southern Continent. This puppet was inserted into the right eye socket of one of the dead.” Fors, like the other gathering…

Chapter 7: Those Encountered and Those Missed Inside Saint Samuel Cathedral’s great prayer hall. The short black-haired bishop withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the middle-aged gentleman before the offering box. Nor did he develop any thought of going over to speak with him. Here, before the altar, he represented the Church and stood beneath the Goddess’s watch. It was impossible for him to treat anyone warmly merely because they had donated more money. Still, he remembered the…

Chapter 6: A Rich Man’s Daily Life “Then please wait a moment. Would you like coffee, or black tea?” Beline asked warmly. Klein smiled. “When I was young, I liked coffee. I liked that strong aroma. But now, I am better able to accept black tea.” “I prefer black tea as well. Then… a cup of Marquis black tea?” Beline suggested with a smile. The coffee and black tea used to serve guests at the Metropolitan Helping Household Servants Association were both of ordinary quality,…

Chapter 5: Official Debut Why would that madman Gehrman Sparrow need someone to claim Blood Admiral’s bounty on his behalf? No, more importantly, why would he be able to claim Blood Admiral’s bounty? Danitz suddenly cleared his head from the confusion and caught the key point. He abruptly lowered his head again, keeping his gaze from betraying his shock and bewilderment. The adventurers beside him continued speaking. “How could that be possible? No one would dare claim…

Chapter 4: Three Chairs The Wraith-formed Senor, under Klein’s control, passed through thick soil and stone, arriving beside Sharron. He saw a broken armrest buried ahead, carved with asymmetric patterns. It was similar to the splintered wood they had found earlier, yet also different. This armrest was not purely deep black. Within its patterns, there was a dark-red color, as though iron and blood had intertwined. Recalling the scene from that past nightmare, Klein confirmed that this was not…

Chapter 3: Re-exploration Sharron was silent for two seconds. “I will ask for you,” she said. So that means you’ll think it over too? Fair enough. The negative effect of the Scales of Luck really does make one hesitate. Still, the Biological Poison Bottle pairs very well with a Wraith. If I weren’t short on money—and if carrying it around didn’t worsen my constitution and make me prone to illness—I would be reluctant to sell it. It is extraordinarily useful in an ambush… Klein…

Chapter 2: Old Friends He actually knows me? Does that mean Mr. Isengard Stanton often mentions me as his friend, or does the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom know that I was once involved in the Backlund Great Smog incident? Klein held a smile and nodded without letting any change show on his face. “Yes. I am Sherlock Moriarty.” The gray-blue-eyed young man immediately stepped aside and, with a warm smile, gestured for him to enter. “Mr. Stanton has always been worried about…

Chapter 1: A Record of Return Drizzling rain. Faint, half-formed mist. Rows of gas streetlamps straining to spread their hazy glow. Carriages occasionally passing along the road. Together, they formed the most common nightscape in Backlund. But apart from these, Klein, standing behind the window, also noticed a few welcome changes. Ring, ring, ring! A crisp sound echoed as a strange two-wheeled machine sped along the edge of the road, rushing toward the other end of the street. Its overall…

Chapter 250: The Destination Desi County, Conant City, 67 Red Sycamore Street. Wearing a face commonly seen in the Loen Kingdom, Klein took a step forward and rang the doorbell. Less than a minute later, the door opened with a creak. A maid in a black-and-white dress poked her head out and examined him for a few seconds before asking in confusion, “Good evening. Who are you looking for?” “I am looking for Madam Nilu. I am a friend of her father, David Raymond,” Klein answered…-
