Chapter 98: Infiltration

The mirror on Klein’s pillow instantly emitted watery, flowing radiance. Silver points of light squirmed and gathered, forming corresponding Loenese words:

“Great and supreme Master, Your loyal and humble servant Arrodes awaits at all times to serve You!”

Klein stood beside the bed, looked at the mirror, and asked with outward calm, “Where behind Chanis Gate in Saint Samuel Cathedral is the Antigonus family notebook?”

He wanted to confirm the location in advance so he could head directly to the target, completing the plan in the shortest possible time and thereby avoiding all kinds of accidents that might occur.

On the mirror surface, the silver words distorted and changed, reforming into a line of text:

“It is a Level 1 Sealed Artifact, in the right-side area of the second level. More specific than that, I cannot see clearly.”

Klein gave an “mm” and said, “It is your turn to ask.”

Arrodes immediately let the silver words on the mirror surface disperse, and amid rippling light, a new question protruded:

“Do You have any other instructions?”

If Klein had been in his normal state, he would certainly have clicked his tongue inwardly. But with his mind so highly strung, he could only nod and say, “Watch my illusion like last time and handle any accidents.”

“Alright, Master!” The Magic Mirror Arrodes gave its response without hesitation. Immediately afterward, it added another line of words. “I will—I will control my instincts. I swear to You, great ruler above the spirit world!”

Klein nodded lightly and took two steps forward, allowing the mirror to reflect Dawn Dantes’s appearance.

The image grew clearer and larger, finally becoming almost real.

After making slight adjustments, Klein made the dummy lie on the bed, looking as if he had already fallen asleep.

At that moment, he discovered that Dawn Dantes had turned his head toward him, smiled ingratiatingly, then reached out with both hands and pulled the blanket upward.

“…”

Klein said nothing. While transforming into the cold-faced mad adventurer Gehrman Sparrow, he caused Creeping Hunger, still worn on his left palm, to abruptly become transparent.

His figure quickly faded. He Traveled to the other end of Phelps Street, where Saint Samuel Cathedral stood. Then he walked to the square where pigeons flew during the day and hid in a shadowed corner.

After some time, a group of believers who had attended the night Mass came out of the cathedral. Not long after, several servants carried various miscellaneous items out, walking toward the trash cans placed in the side alley. Some of them split off to handle the horse dung at the carriage stopping area.

At that moment, one servant’s body suddenly trembled. He immediately lowered his head and began cleaning earnestly, even very dutifully moving toward the square as if to deal with the rubbish there. In this way, he gradually moved farther and farther away, reaching a place with dense shadows.

When the other servants no longer paid attention to him, a hand abruptly outlined itself, as though reaching out from the void. It grabbed his shoulder, making his figure fade and vanish.

Klein directly Traveled to a two-bedroom apartment inside a cheap apartment building in the East Borough. He had rented the place several days in advance, having changed his appearance and Teleported here earlier.

The Traveler ability really is convenient. The only problem is that every time I want to use it, one pirate has to offer up his life…

Klein used internal mockery to ease his tension. At the same time, he made the servant lie down on the bed, then took out a long, thin metal test tube and tossed it to him.

The servant caught it accurately, removed the stopper, and gulped down the sleeping potion inside. In only a few seconds, he fell into deep sleep. Beside him, the Wraith Senor’s figure emerged, wearing his old tricorn hat and dark red coat.

Klein examined the servant on the bed. His own body suddenly…
