Chapter 61: An Unexpected Visitor

Hearing Mr. Moon’s question, the Magician Fors nearly blurted out, “I know! I know it very well! I’m only not too clear on the details of the process.”

Fortunately, she controlled her mouth in time. With a faint trace of fear, she glanced toward Mr. World at the very bottom of the long bronze table.

Almost at the same time, the Hanged Man Alger, Justice Audrey, and the Hermit Cattleya combined this with their earlier guesses and vaguely deduced that the serious incident in Backlund’s East Borough had been the assassination of that divine envoy of the Aurora Order—an assassination carried out by the World!

Because she was not a Spectator and could not read the answer from their eyes, Fors could only force a smile at the Moon Emlyn.

“I cannot answer what exactly happened.

“I only know that at the time, a demigod-level Beyonder ability from the Storm domain appeared, and that made the Church of Storms treat the matter with great importance.”

She did not dare speak on Mr. World’s behalf and reveal the details of the incident. She merely gave a simple description of what she herself had seen.

In her view, if Mr. World were willing to let the matter be known, he would certainly add to her explanation.

A demigod-level Beyonder ability from the Storm domain? Justice Audrey and the others were briefly stunned, instinctively beginning to doubt the guess they had just made.

They had previously assumed that Leymano’s Travels was an item formed after the Aurora Order divine envoy’s death. Therefore, before assassinating the target, the World should have had no way to borrow Mr. Fool’s help and record demigod-level abilities.

Was the serious supernatural incident in the East Borough unrelated to Mr. World? No. Fors’s glance just now is enough to show that it was caused by Mr. World! But why would a demigod-level Beyonder ability from the Storm domain appear? One possibility is that Leymano’s Travels was not a spoil of the assassination, but originally belonged to Fors. Another possibility is that a cardinal of the Church of Storms, or a Beyonder carrying the corresponding sealed artifact, launched an attack…

If it is the former, the fact that Mr. World had to use a demigod-level Beyonder ability means the divine envoy was quite powerful, and that a saint existed behind him. If it is the latter, the fact that Mr. World could safely escape under such an attack already proves how terrifying he is…

Of course, it is also possible that he deliberately guided the Church of Storms and the Aurora Order’s divine envoy to encounter each other, then used the confusion of a demigod-level battle to efficiently complete the assassination…

Starting from the many details she had observed, Justice Audrey roughly formed several guesses. And every single one pointed toward the same conclusion:

The World possessed strength, intelligence, support, and the ability to act decisively. He was one of the very top Sequence 5s beneath demigod level!

How terrifying. As expected of Mr. Fool’s Blessed… Once I reach a place with a church, I should be able to understand the details of this matter…

The Hanged Man Alger also reached his preliminary judgment and felt a wave of emotion. He could only comfort himself by thinking that, with such a helper, exploring that primitive island would be much easier.

As for the Hermit Cattleya, her thoughts were similar to Justice Audrey’s. She planned to ask the Queen of Mysteries about it—after all, the mistress of the Dawn had previously revealed in a letter that she was currently staying in Backlund.

“A demigod-level Beyonder ability from the Storm domain…” The Moon Emlyn repeated Miss Magician’s words with a slight headache.

Although he liked staying at home and disliked going out, he lived in a metropolis and occasionally needed to go to the hospital for blood. He still possessed a degree of common sense. Together with the reminders and teachings of his elders, he actually…
