A stone from the bracelet and the right to use Leymano's Travels for a period of time? How does he know that I have these two items? I don't recall mentioning it on the Tarot … After hearing The World German Sparrow's reply, Fors was surprised and shocked. It was as though all her secrets had been seen through.
She tensed up as she quickly recalled where she had slipped up.
Apart from Teacher, Xio, and Mr. Fool, no one knows that I have these two items. It's especially so for Leymano's Travels. I haven't used it much … Mr. Fool … Uh, Mr. World's behavior on the Tarot was rather odd. He never submitted Rosell The Great's diary. He doesn't seem to put in any effort or worry about it … He has a deep connection with Mr. Fool, and he obtained the corresponding information from "Him"? A believer or a Blessed? Fors thought carefully for a moment and vaguely grasped something. She wasn't as horrified as before.
Only at this point did she have the energy to consider if The World German Sparrow's request was acceptable.
To Fors, such a price was too cheap. It was less than she had expected and more reasonable!
As a Beyonder who often stayed at home to write and rest, lending Leymano's Travels for a period of time didn't affect her safety or usage at all. As for the bracelet that could help her traverse the spirit world and the two stones, giving one to The World German Sparrow wouldn't make her completely lose her trump card.
The only problem is that Mr. World seems to only be willing to make one attempt. If he fails, he will still ask for the payment … Hmm, with the risk he needs to bear, that's normal … I originally thought that I would need to help him do quite a bit and exchange the traitor's head from Teacher to repay the debt … Fors thought for a few seconds before praying to Mr. Fool.
"… Please tell Mr. World that I accept his conditions and will do my best to cooperate with his actions."
She had originally wanted to remind The World German Sparrow that using the stone would result in the repercussions of the full moon ravings, but she immediately realized that only Beyonders of the Apprentice pathway would receive such treatment.
…
Regardless of success or failure, with that stone, I'll be able to silently leave Baekeland and rendezvous with Mr. The Hanging Man to explore that primitive island … When the time comes, I'll use the stone and the spellbook to record. I won't have to worry about returning unless my luck is too bad and the recording fails … Klein secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He opened the door and got his valet, Richardson, to help him tidy up his clothes.
"Sir, after breakfast, your scheduled itinerary is to visit the royal family's collection exhibition at the Royal Museum." As Richardson helped his employer put on his coat, he informed him of the day's arrangements.
As Dawn Dantès's social dance progress was extremely fast, the etiquette classes in the morning were reduced from five to three a week. This allowed him to have extra time to do other things. And such an exhibition would definitely become a hot topic of discussion in high society. It wouldn't look good if he didn't visit it personally.
As for going to Saint Samuel Cathedral to listen to the bishop's sermon, Klein had also consciously reduced the frequency. This wasn't because he needed to donate dozens of pounds every time, but because he was worried that after the initial novelty period, going too often would arouse suspicion. Being natural and reasonable were the core elements of his plan.
He planned on randomly choosing two out of the remaining six days apart from Sunday. He wanted to accumulate intelligence over a longer period of time and figure out the pattern. There's no rush!
"I can't wait any longer," Klein said to his valet with a smile as he looked at his outstanding bearing in the mirror.
Upon thinking of Saint Samuel Cathedral and the Church of Evernight, he naturally thought of Leonard Mitchell's secret investigation of Sherlock Moriarty. He didn't understand what the other party was suspecting.
Was it Emlyn White's purchase of Tinder that made Leonard decide to investigate the people around him, or was it the faint figure of the detective in Capim's case and Lanevus's case that made the Red Gloves in charge of the investigation sense something? Or is it a combination of both? Klein thought about the traces he had left behind and had a general guess.
He wasn't afraid that Sherlock Moriarty would be placed on the wanted list of the Church of Evernight and have a bounty placed on him. After all, apart from contacting a few acquaintances, the great detective wouldn't appear again. What he was worried about was people discovering that the early Sherlock Moriarty resembled Klein Moretti, and from there, they would be able to track down the deceased former Nighthawk.
In fact, even if they discover me, it's nothing. I'm no longer the Clown or Magicians from back then. There aren't just one or two demigods who want to find me. Even if the high-ranking deacons of the Church are added, the problem wouldn't change qualitatively … Besides, Baansen and Melissa are truly ordinary people. The Church definitely won't implicate them or disturb their lives … I wonder if they will take back the pension. Probably not. There's no way to explain it to ordinary people … Klein didn't fret over his debts.
This was also the reason why he was so calm when he heard the Snake of Mercury, Will Auceptin, point out his identity as Klein Moretti.
How could a Sequence 1 angel who had interacted with Sherlock Moriarty a long time ago, and who was adept at destiny-related powers, not be able to discover where the great detective came from?
Even with the gray fog in the way, interfering with many details, Will Auceptin would definitely know that Sherlock Moriarty came from Tingen.
And back in Tingen, Klein had interacted with a youth of the Monster pathway, Ade Misol, causing his eyes to bleed. As long as the Snake of Fate Will Auceptin grasped this information and made a comparison, the answer would be obvious.
If Leonard were to really discover Sherlock Moriarty's hidden identity, I wonder what kind of expression he would have … Klein gave a self-deprecating laugh and walked out of the master bedroom. He went down to the second floor and enjoyed the breakfast that his chef had meticulously prepared.
…
West Borough, 2 King's Avenue, Royal Museum.
Klein led Butler Walter and his valet, Richardson, through the ticketing booth and entered.
This exhibition was organized by the Rouen royal family. They brought all kinds of historical collections from the founding of the country to the outside world for the public to view and understand, so as to raise the respect and recognition the citizens had for the royal family.
As a graduate with a degree in history, Klein was rather interested in this exhibition. Many of the events that he was very familiar with had their corresponding items here. From another angle, it made one immersed in the long and fascinating past.
What surprised Klein was that Walter had a deep understanding of most of the exhibits. He introduced them to Dawn Dantès in great detail.
As expected of someone from a noble family … Klein nodded to himself.
As they walked and listened, the trio constantly encountered other visitors. The entire exhibition hall was quiet and orderly, with only murmurs.
When passing by a display case, Klein noticed that Walter's footsteps had suddenly come to a halt. He looked to the side as his expression turned complicated.
As he wasn't a Spectator, Klein was unable to decipher the exact meaning of the complicated emotions. All he could do was trace Walter's gaze and look in front of the display case.
There were two people standing there, a man and a woman. The man was in his thirties, wearing a black formal suit and a silk top hat. He held a gold-inlaid cane and looked like a rich gentleman. The woman was wearing a yellow dress and a golden necklace. Her overall attire was rather gorgeous.
Mr. Butler is looking at that man … Klein instantly made a judgment as he swept his gaze across the target without leaving a trace.
He realized that the gentleman looked rather old. His skin was dark from frequent exposure to the Sun. His hands were like dried wood, and his fingers were extremely rough.
If I didn't look at his attire, I would believe it if you said that he's a farmer, gardener, or carriage driver … Klein retracted his gaze as he felt a little puzzled.
The reason why he could notice these details was because when he was constructing the identity of Dawn Dantès, he had seriously considered the appearance of an ordinary person who had been adventuring in the Southern Continent for a long time.
He believed that in addition to the eyes, temperament, and innate facial features precipitated by rich experience, Dawn Dantès must have skin that had been exposed to the sun for a long time, inconspicuous scars, rough and powerful palms, and other details. Otherwise, it would not be enough to support the character's inner qualities.
I have to say that ever since I became a Faceless, I'm becoming more and more experienced and knowledgeable about how to create a new character … If I were to return to Earth, even without my Beyonder powers, I would still be good at acting … Amidst his self-deprecating thoughts, Klein saw that Butler Walter had already recovered his solemn and proper look, as though nothing had happened.
The old man with rough skin pointed at the flags in the display cabinet.
"This is the flag used by Earl Lastine, Prince Harold Augustus, during the White Rose War. Unfortunately, he died in the war. However, his death was the turning point of the entire war. Our Rouen ultimately obtained victory. Look, this flag has his blood on it …"
Your knowledge of history isn't bad … Klein swept his gaze at Walter from the corner of his eye. After two seconds of thought, he revealed a smile and approached the couple.
He interjected in a friendly manner, "I never expected people to know about such an obscure matter. I originally believed that people's understanding of the White Rose War was limited to Rouen's victory over Intis.
"Sir, I'm impressed by your erudition."
Having been praised in front of his female companion, the man's expression instantly relaxed. His face beamed with a smug smile.
"I just like to understand the knowledge of history."
He casually swept his gaze at the gentleman's attendant in front of him as he suddenly frowned before relaxing his brows. There was some lingering puzzlement.
Indeed, he knows Butler Walter … Klein smiled without batting an eyelid.
"Nice to meet you. I'm a merchant from Desi, Dawn Dantès. How might I address you?"
The man hesitated for a moment.
