Chapter Thirty-TwoConfirmation 15 Minsk Street. After returning home, Klein did not hurry above the gray fog to perform divination. He pretended that nothing had happened and read the newspapers. During that process, he heard illusory, layered prayers and vaguely recognized that they came from a lady. After enduring the ravings of the True Creator, my ability in this area seems to have improved slightly… Thoughtfully, Klein flipped the newspaper, sitting and half reclining steadily in the…-

And the target was the ambassador of Intis, one of the great powers of the Northern Continent! Xio was slower on the uptake in that respect.

In one hand, he held a paper bag containing the nearby famous Xinji Dixi pie. In the other, he held a cup of sweet iced tea. Beside him, a tramp curled up asleep on the other end of the bench, but after a dozen minutes, he was woken by the department store’s security guards and driven away. Klein wore gold-rimmed glasses without much…

Chapter Twenty-NineBakerland Early Tuesday morning, Klein woke naturally and prepared himself two slices of toast, a pat of butter, a portion of bacon, and a cup of coffee. He ate breakfast leisurely while reading the newspapers. With the terrifying charm Words of Filth in his possession, he felt considerably more at ease. He was no longer as taut and tense as before. Rustle. Klein finished flipping through the Backlund Post, picked up the Tussock Times, and on the second page saw a news…

Chapter Twenty-EightWords of Filth Inside the sitting room illuminated by only a single candle, the atmosphere grew silent, as though it had solidified. Several seconds later, the man suspected of being an Apothecary muttered, “Why not leave your address? That way, I can at least get something from your corpse.” It seems like a curse, but it is actually advice… Klein pretended not to understand and looked toward Black Snake. “If I do not gamble, I have no chance of surviving. If I…

Chapter Twenty-SevenBet on Luck? Skilled at mixing potions and treating illness, while growing quite a few herbs in the sewers… That should be an Apothecary, right? I wonder whether he is a member of the Life School of Thought, or a believer of the Earth Mother. Of course, the greatest possibility is that he is a wild Beyonder… Klein listened thoughtfully from the side without rashly opening his mouth. In the Loen Kingdom, because the Church of Storms rejected the Eternal Blazing Sun and the…

Chapter Twenty-SixTheir Respective “Gatherings” Fine. Although I do not need them anymore, I can give them to Susie, or exchange them for other Beyonder materials… Mm, Susie’s potion still lacks Farsman Rabbit spinal fluid… Some things are far more convenient for Susie to do than for me… Every great detective needs a good assistant, yes, yes! Audrey quickly made her decision. To her, this was no longer something she cared about especially. Setting down the telegram, her joy gradually…

Chapter Twenty-FiveThe Dragon of Imagination Audrey was not surprised by The Sun’s request. Since the City of Silver had popularized the acting method, then by her calculations, he should already be approaching the end of digestion. Seeking the next potion formula was naturally one of his highest priorities. I wonder how a Bard should act. Singing hymns every day? When a fight starts, hiding to one side and using song to bring courage and strength to companions? Or first blessing himself, then…

Chapter Twenty-FourSequence 2 “October 29th. The leader of the Secret Order, Zaratul, visited me again. He did not mention any specific matter, merely chatting casually for a while. I cannot guess his true intention. Perhaps he simply wants to strengthen communication between both sides and our understanding of each other? “Having already met two high-Sequence powerhouses of the Churches, I felt Zaratul was stronger and more mysterious than either of them. Thus, without holding much hope, I…

As Klein’s understanding of mysticism and the Beyonder field deepened, and as he gradually tested out a portion of the gray fog’s abilities, he was no longer as guilty as he once had been when facing Justice, The Hanged Man, and The Sun. He no longer blindly thought only of maintaining an image of profound mystery, lest the Tarot Club members keenly pierce through his disguise. He now knew that although the deities of this world were powerful, eerie, and complete with all manner of strange traits,…
