Chapter 38: Children Should Act Like Children

Mr. X is looking for people whose luck is abnormal?

Above the gray fog, Klein pondered the information Miss Magician had provided, trying to analyze something useful from it.

After thinking for a while without inspiration, he decided to approach the matter from another angle: recalling the people around him whose luck was abnormal and seeing whether there was some inner connection.

Mm… Anderson Hood, the strongest hunter of the Fog Sea, counts as one… Dr. Aaron Ceres counts as one… Huh. Both were affected by one of the “Snakes of Fate”… Angel of Fate Ouroboros is one of the founders of the Rose Redemption, a secret organization that supports and believes in the True Creator… The Aurora Order is equivalent to the True Creator’s Church…

A string of circumstances surfaced in Klein’s mind and quickly formed a conclusion.

“This is the Angel of Fate Ouroboros looking for the Mercury Snake Will Auceptin!

“He is driving the Aurora Order’s members to help Him search for the Mercury Snake Will Auceptin!”

And this meant that behind Mr. X, somewhere in Backlund, there existed a King of Angels!

Under such circumstances, going to assassinate Mr. X would be equivalent to courting death… No wonder this Mr. X is not wary of Backlund’s special nature at all… At most, the official forces would assume there was a saint backing him. Mm, in official files, the high-level members of the Aurora Order are only the five saints. That would lead to an incorrect response…

After reaching this judgment, Klein’s first thought was to reject Miss Magician’s commission and warn her not to provoke Mr. X.

If reporting the matter would not drag out the Mercury Snake Will Auceptin—and if the Evernight Church’s Beyonder case files had not clearly recorded Dr. Aaron Ceres’s luck—Klein would have wanted Miss Magician to report both the Angel of Fate Ouroboros and Mr. X to some Church!

He calmly thought for a few more seconds, manifested the World Gehrman Sparrow, and had him pray within the gray fog:

“…I will confirm the situation and give an answer tomorrow.”

He did not refuse directly, because he planned to first ask the Mercury Snake Will Auceptin.

Immediately afterward, he returned to the real world, carefully removed the now extremely fragile paper crane from the interlayer of his wallet, and gently unfolded it.

Klein did not begin writing at once. Instead, he first recalled what questions he needed to ask, seriously organizing a draft in his mind. Only then did he find a pencil and sharpen it with a knife until its point was extremely fine.

Moving his muscles to loosen them, Klein began writing:

“Members of the Aurora Order are searching for people whose luck is abnormal.

“Do you know how to use a Worm of Time to make a charm?

“Does your umbilical cord blood count as the blood of a mythical creature? If it does, and if I wish to obtain a drop, what price must I pay?”

Klein had originally wanted to ask Will Auceptin how He maintained His reason. After all, Church documents showed that there was no publicly known faith worshiping the “Snake of Fate.” In the end, however, he restrained himself, afraid that the unborn fetal Will Auceptin might answer in some highly improper way:

“When did you develop the illusion that I possess reason?”

If that happened, he would not know whether to take it as a joke or as truth.

Mm, although no organization worships the “Snake of Fate,” existences similar to “Gods of Luck” are present as traditional customs in certain regions… Perhaps They are actually aliases of Will Auceptin or Ouroboros…

Klein silently muttered a couple of sentences and used the full ability of a Clown to finally fold the paper crane back into shape and place it beneath his pillow.

Only after finishing all this did he have the time to calculate how much cash he currently possessed.

17,046 pounds, plus 5 gold coins, 3 soli, and 8 pence in change… If I also had assets such as houses…
