Chapter 793: Surprise Visitor

Upon hearing Mr. Moon's question, Fors nearly blurted out, *"Of course!

Better than anyone else! I'm just not too aware of the

details."*

However, she controlled her mouth in time as she apprehensively looked

at Mr. World.

At the same time, Alger, Audrey, and Cattleya vaguely guessed that the

serious matter that had happened in Backlund's East Borough was the

assassination of the Aurora Order's Oracle. Based on the inferences they

had before, it was done by The World!

And as Emlyn wasn't a Spectator, he wasn't able to tell from her eyes.

All Fors could do was force a smile at Emlyn.

"I'm unable to tell you the specifics.

"I only know that demigod-level Beyonder powers of the Storm domain

appeared back then. The Church of Storms places a great deal of

attention over the matter."

She didn't dare divulge the reasons on behalf of Mr. World, simply

describing what she had seen.

She believed that if Mr. World was willing to reveal more, he definitely

would've added on to her answer.

Demigod-level Beyonder powers of the Storm domain? Audrey and

company were taken aback as they instinctively doubted the accuracy of

their theories.

They had previously imagined that Leymano's Travels had been created

after the death of the Aurora Order Oracle; therefore, The World had no

way of borrowing Mr. Fool's demigod-level powers to record them before

the assassination!

*The serious case involving Beyonders in East Borough has nothing to do

with Mr. World? No, Fors's glance is enough proof that it was caused by

Mr. World! But why would a demigod-level Beyonder power of the Storm

domain appear? One possibility is that Leymano's Travels isn't a result

of this assassination but that it originally belonged to Fors. Another

possibility is that a Cardinal of the Church of Storms or a Beyonder

with the corresponding Sealed Artifact had delivered an

attack...*

*If it were the former, needing Mr. World to use the Beyonder powers at

the demigod level implies that the Oracle was relatively powerful with

the possible existence of a Saint backing him. If it were the latter, to

have Mr. World still be able to leave safely after such an assault

implies his formidableness...*

*Of course, the possibility can't be eliminated that he deliberately

lured the Church of Storms to encounter the Aurora Order's Oracle, and

while a battle broke out between demigods, he efficiently carried out an

assassination during the chaos...* Audrey made some guesses

based on the details she had observed, and each guess implied one thing:

The World had the strength, intelligence, support, and ability, making

him one of the top Sequence 5 Beyonders below that of demigods!

*How terrifying. As expected of Mr. Fool's Blessed... When I arrive at a

cathedral, I should be able to figure out what happened...*

Alger also made a basic judgment of the situation as he sighed. All he

could do was console himself. With such a helper, the exploration of the

primitive island would only be easier.

As for Cattleya, she shared similar thoughts with Audrey. She planned on

asking Queen Mystic about the situation. This owner of the Dawn had

previously revealed in her letter that she would be in Backlund for the

time being.

Demigod-level Beyonder powers of the Storm domain... Emlyn

repeated Miss Magician's words as his head ached.

Although he enjoyed staying at home and not heading out, he still needed

to head out to get some blood to drink from the hospitals. Being in a

big city, he was equipped with common knowledge. Together with his

elders warnings and guidance, he knew a lot about the official

organizations like the Machinery Hivemind, Mandated Punishers, and

Nighthawks. He knew the influence that a serious case would bring to the

area.

*If I don't have a good disguise while infiltrating East Borough, I

might be caught by the Mandated Punishers before I even approach my

targets... Although I have the identity of being part of the Church of

Earth Mother and wouldn't be impounded underground or made into a test

subject of Sealed Artifacts, this also means that my operation has

failed. I might even have Leymano's Travels taken away... During such

times, taking the sewers would be even more dangerous. Who knows how

many official Beyonders are lying in ambush over there...* Emlyn

suddenly felt that what seemed like a simple mission had turned

difficult.

He quickly came to a decision that he would take action in the latter

half of the night. During this time, the low-class residents of East

Borough would begin returning home from work. Although it was dark, the

streets would be bustling. Even if the Mandated Punishers had ten times

more manpower, it was impossible to carry out any strict surveillance

and single out every possible suspect.

*The next important step is to plan the operation to finish off the two

artificial vampires without causing much of a stir... Hmm, I'll have to

consider a situation of an intense battle that's impossible to hide...

Wait, Miss Magician had just mentioned that Leymano's Travels has a

Beyonder power known as Teleport... The problem is resolved!*

Emlyn heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled.

"I will keep that in mind."

He had said that sentence very calmly and with great confidence, as

though everything was in control.

*Heh, this fellow Emlyn was first stumped before feeling relieved.

There's a 90% chance he recalled the Traveler's Door in Leymano's

Travels... If I hadn't obtained Traveling, I definitely would've added

the condition that no one is to touch that spellbook's page before The

World Gehrman Sparrow...* Klein scoffed silently without a word.

To him, as there was only one Traveler's Door in Leymano's Travels, he

definitely needed to use Creeping Hunger for his return trip to the

primitive island. In that case, he might as well exploit the glove as he

needed to feed a death row convict to it. He didn't want to waste it.

"Anyways, I've warned you." Fors didn't speak further, wishing that

everything would go smoothly for Mr. Moon.

At that moment, Alger turned to look at Little Sun.

"Are you still in the City of Silver?"

"Yes, my recent mission is to acquaint myself with my powers and patrol

the surrounding area," Derrick replied honestly.

Alger thought for a moment before saying, "Has that Shepherd Elder not

looked for you recently?"

"No." Derrick paused. "The six-member council seems to be busy with the

former Chief's mausoleum. As for what it is, I'm not privy to the

information."

Klein had heard Little Sun mention of the former Chief of the City of

Silver. It was said that he had built a mausoleum that reached deep

underground before moving into it, and he hadn't appeared again. It was

suspected that his attempt to switch to Sequence 3 of the Death pathway

had failed.

*I wonder what happened inside the mausoleum. My spiritual intuition

tells me that there's danger involved...* Before Klein spoke, he

heard Alger say, "Take note of this matter. To investigate the former

Chief's mausoleum at such a critical moment means that it's something

important. It might bring you danger."

"Okay!" Derrick nodded strongly. "I'll do my best to figure out the

specifics."

The exchange continued. As the members didn't encounter much this week,

this segment quickly came to an end. The Tarot Club members began

teaching The Sun mysticism languages of the outside world as they

learned about ancient myths from him.

During this process, Audrey was a little disappointed and depressed. She

had failed to buy anything or share anything this week, and her

participation appeared lacking.

*Sigh... My life has been too quiet and stable. I have nothing to

share... However, this is normal. As the daughter of one of the top

three bankers in the kingdom, a daughter of East Chester's earl, if I

were to frequently encounter Beyonder matters, experiencing alarming and

exciting matters every week, that means that the present society and

government structure is unable to maintain the order of the Beyonder

world. It would definitely result in a fundamental change to

everything... Hmm, when I return to Backlund, my contact with the

Psychology Alchemists will increase. I'll be able to change this

situation...* Audrey rapidly became optimistic, and she stood up

and bade Mr. Fool farewell.

Over the past half a year, she had read quite a number of useful books

thanks to Susie. In terms of profundity and maturity, she was a lot

better than before.

Backlund North Borough, 160 Böklund Street.

After ending the Tarot Club, Klein walked to the attached balcony to his

bedroom, and he looked at the surrounding environment which was filled

with vegetation.

*With Miss Magician's attempt to rent out Leymano's Travels, there will

be more of such Tarot Club transactions in the future. Heh heh, they

might not have realized that their own Beyonder powers can be sold! Once

the rentals happen more frequently, someone will ultimately request

someone to help record a particular power... When the time comes, I'll

be able to supply Beyonder powers of various domains thanks to the

numerous mystical items I have...*

*It won't be too expensive, but it's long-lasting, and it will often be

in demand.*

*Heh, I wonder who will be the first to muster their courage to seek The

Fool for help, hoping that a demigod power can be recorded... This needs

to be a fair exchange, and a sufficient price needs to be paid... If no

one dares take that step, afraid that it's blasphemous, I can let The

World be an example. After all, Mr. Fool has shown his friendliness and

casualness from the beginning. As long as no mistakes are made, similar

transactions can be made...*

*Having the precedent of punishing Ma'am Hermit, I don't believe anyone

will belittle The Fool as a result. They would be honored, delighted,

and fearful...* Klein thought about the Tarot Club as his

thoughts wandered, filled with anticipation towards the trade of

Beyonder powers in the future.

At this moment, he heard knocking at the door.

"Please enter," Dwayne Dantès with his gray sideburns turned around and

said.

The doorknob turned and the door opened. Butler Walter in his white

gloves walked in and said respectfully, "Sir, Ma'am Mary from the

National Atmospheric Pollution Council is here to visit you.

"Do you wish to meet her?"

*Mary Schott? The major shareholder of the Coim Company, the lady who

got me to investigate her former husband's adultery? Why is she here?

Don't tell me that Dwayne Dantès has caught her fancy...* Klein

was slightly puzzled as he nodded with a smile.

"It's almost tea time. Let's have it a little earlier."

"Alright, I will invite Ma'am Mary to the activity room on the second

story." Walter easily understood his employer's intentions.

Klein nodded slightly without saying anything else. With the help of his

valet, Richardson, he wore his coat and went down to the second story.

Soon, he saw Ma'am Mary with her tall cheekbones in the activity room.

This lady was dressed in a dark blue dress with elegant accessories in

an ostentatious but restrained manner. Compared to last year, she

appeared more classy and with a higher temperament.

"Good afternoon, Ma'am. I've always been considering finding a time to

visit you. I would wish to hear about your investigations on Backlund's

atmospheric pollution." Klein took the initiative to speak politely.

Mary replied with a smile, "Unfortunately, I didn't manage to wait for

it."

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries as they talked about the

recent weather, Klein sat on a single-seater as he raised his porcelain

teacup.

"Ma'am, you seem to have something troubling you?"

He could tell that Mary was hesitant and deliberating.

Mary laughed as she sighed.

"I've heard about your experience and wisdom. I believe that you're a

gentleman with excellent foresight.

"This is the thing: Are you interested in purchasing some of the Coim

Company's shares?"

"Why? Ma'am, are you in trouble?" Klein asked in a staid manner

Mary shook her head.

"Someone else is selling them."
