Chapter 207: That’s All It Takes?

When Bellringer Kanoken heard the name Frank Lee, his expression immediately turned a little strange.

“I know him. He… he is a kind and pure person. But sometimes, he is so pure that it makes people feel afraid.”

Indeed… Klein stepped aside from the stairway entrance. As he followed the bellringer downward, he casually said, “You’re familiar with him?”

Kanoken walked silently ahead. After a while, with his back to Gehrman Sparrow, he said, “I am an unsuccessful product, filled with all kinds of problems, always mocked by others. Only Frank and a few others looked at me normally, treating me as a true person with a soul of my own…”

“Why did he leave the Church of the Earth Mother?” Klein asked knowingly, carrying his suitcase.

Kanoken left the bell tower. While identifying the direction and walking forward, he answered, “I don’t know the exact reason.

“He was an orphan. He grew up in a monastery from childhood and truly treated the Church as his family, viewing the Mother Goddess as his mother.

“He had many strange ideas. He originally had the chance to become a diocesan bishop, but in the end, he nearly got sent to the tribunal. The reason was blasphemy.”

Frank mentioned that before. It was because he wanted to hybridize bulls, cows, and wheat together… Honestly, if it had been me, I would have sent him to the tribunal too… The reason that fellow had no major issues early on was definitely because his Sequence wasn’t high enough yet, so there were limited things he could do… Klein muttered inwardly a few times. Following Bellringer Kanoken, he turned into a street and arrived at an alley behind Saint Draco Cathedral.

Kanoken walked to an ordinary house and rang the doorbell three times, once every two seconds.

After a while, the sound of knocking feet approached, and the door opened with a creak.

Klein then saw an elderly man in a black short coat, leaning on a sturdy cane.

The old man’s hair was white as snow, but his face had no obvious wrinkles. Over his eyes, he wore a black blindfold that blocked all vision.

“Councilor, Mr. Gehrman Sparrow has come to visit you.”

Councilor Ricciardo? He’s Councilor Ricciardo? He’s blind? Klein had only heard the man’s voice before and had never seen him. Now, he could not help feeling a little surprised.

Ricciardo tilted his ear slightly, slowly turning his head toward the place where Gehrman Sparrow stood. With a chuckle, he said, “My apologies. I can only meet you like this. When I woke this morning, I suddenly had a premonition that I must not open my eyes to look at anything today. To prevent accidents, I had no choice but to put on a blindfold.”

…So it can be done like that… This fortune-teller style is beyond me… For a moment, Klein found it both funny and bewildering.

Immediately afterward, he understood the accurate interpretation of the other man’s premonition:

Don’t look at him!

He remembered that Beyonders of the Monster pathway could see certain things other people could not. That was why the Snake of Fate, Will Auceptin, had detected his specialness, and why Ademisaul from Tingen had bled from both eyes and collapsed in pain the moment he saw Klein.

Councilor Ricciardo foresaw the danger and put on a blindfold ahead of time… Sigh. If not for that, I really would have asked him what he could see… Klein had no hobby of forcing others to injure themselves. He reined in his thoughts and instead asked, “Do you have any clues about the mystical item I need?”

“Not for the moment.” Councilor Ricciardo smiled. “After my injuries recovered, I went to Bayam. My luck was rather good. I happened to run into the transfer of higher-ups from the navy and the Governor-General’s Office, and I successfully rescued Roy King. However, it also wasted quite a bit of time.”

Klein had expected this, so he was not surprised at all. He said, “Then I’ll trade that request for a favor.

“A friend of mine came into contact with a mural left behind…
