Chapter 143: A Smooth First Day

Phew. What exactly are Amyrius and Auston Leavitt plotting, to actually draw a warning from the Twilight Hermit Order… Unless it concerns a key point capable of truly changing the era and influencing the course of history, that ancient and secretive organization would never step forward, even without revealing its identity… Standing at the edge of the magnificent castle within the dream, Klein looked thoughtfully at the place where the blurry figure had just vanished.

As thoughts surged through his mind, he suddenly realized something and became less certain of his earlier guess.

What Admiral Amyrius and his younger brother were plotting might not truly affect the tide of the age!

Although the Twilight Hermit Order only intervened in major issues of that sort, Klein, as the leader of a secret organization himself, understood very well that organizations like these did not merely exist to carry out their own tenets and ideals. There was also mutual assistance between members.

From Emperor Roselle’s diaries, it could be seen that the Twilight Hermit Order had members from different fields, different statuses, and different Sequences. Apart from some who fanatically believed in the original Creator, awaited the arrival of twilight, and the awakening of the true god, the rest all had their own interests and pursuits. Under such circumstances, unless the organizer had strictly controlled things from the very beginning, internal commissions would inevitably appear.

“Perhaps the matter Auston Leavitt is plotting would only affect a certain member of the Twilight Hermit Order. That member noticed it in advance and issued an internal commission, letting another member use the ‘tide of the times’ as an excuse to warn Amyrius Leavitt…

“Following that line of logic, what’s hidden beneath this becomes rather interesting… Considering the level of the Twilight Hermit Order, a Sequence 4 Law Weaver like Amyrius should be a target they could eliminate without too much difficulty. I even suspect they can deploy more than three angels—enough to surpass the seven great Churches…

“Then why didn’t they act directly? Why issue a warning first?

“When they were in Backlund, if an angel had truly appeared, a true god might have descended. That was why the Twilight Hermit Order had no choice but to deal with Duke Negan in a more roundabout and less conspicuous way. But this is Olavi Island. Even high-Sequence Beyonders are not stationed here permanently…

“Was the warning given because the Twilight Hermit Order venerates secrecy and does not wish to expose itself, doing its best not to use violent methods? Or is it because the member who issued the internal commission doesn’t want to see Amyrius die? To ‘him,’ this admiral is quite useful, too valuable to abandon, even if Amyrius may be involved in an operation disadvantageous to ‘him’?

“If that’s the case, then the range of ‘his’ real-world identity seems to narrow down a bit…”

Klein made bold assumptions, yet had no way to verify them. He could only put the matter aside for the time being and cast it out of his mind.

In any case, the one who attracted the Twilight Hermit Order’s warning is Admiral Amyrius. It has nothing to do with me… As long as I do nothing and get involved in nothing over the next few days, I can smoothly hold out until the commission ends. Whatever happens afterward has nothing to do with me. At my present level, investigating the Twilight Hermit Order is far beyond me. I don’t have the qualifications to pry into anything… Following the will of his heart, Klein turned his thoughts toward his own Tarot Club.

“Heh, I’ve discovered a problem. Other secret organizations mainly exist to practice their own doctrines and ideals, with mutual assistance between members mixed in. But our Tarot Club is impressive. There are only commissions between members, with no doctrine or ideal at all… No, in the eyes of certain members, there are doctrines…
