World-Famous

January 1, 1350, New Year's Day, Backlund, Pritz Harbor.

Klein arrived at the "Pritz Harbor Ticketing Company" in the White Rose District by carriage.

At this moment, he had a cold and gaunt face.

-- Gehrman Sparrow, this is the name Klein has chosen for his new identity. According to the setting, this Mr. Gehrman is a cold-blooded adventurer who comes to sea to hunt pirates and earn commissions.

Indeed, Klein also planned to temporarily leave Backlund and seek advancement at sea.

He was wearing a black woolen overcoat, a half-high silk Top Hat, a gun holster hidden under his arm, and a thin human skin glove on his left hand.

This glove came from the deceased "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus, Mr. Azik sealed part of it before leaving it to Klein. It is essentially an item made with the Beyonder Characteristic of the "Shepherd," capable of Grazing the soul within the glove.

"That way, I can Grazing like Luther."

Klein thought to himself with a sigh, "I wonder how he is now."

To be honest, he was completely bewildered when he received [Justice]'s report on New Year's Eve.

Ah?

[Temperance] One person breaks into the Imperial Palace alone?

Ah?

Did he command a warship to bombard the Palace?

Ah?

Surrounded by numerous powerful members of the Royal Family, he actually managed to drive a Demigod mad, forcibly rushing to the king's throne and splattering his blood all over him?

That guy Luther, despite his codename being [Temperance], shows absolutely no intention of restraining himself.

The last message from [Justice] was that Luther had exploded into a cloud of Blood Fog, seemingly vanishing. This greatly worried Klein, but when he arrived Above the Gray Fog, he found that the Red Star representing [Temperance] was still shining brightly, indicating that the other party was still alive.

Luther did all this seemingly because he believed that King George III was the real culprit behind the Great Smog incident.

"It's almost Monday, let's ask him more details at the Tarot Club."

Klein thought to himself.

He planned to directly ask the other party using the alias "[World]" without concealing it, since this identity had most likely already been exposed. Earlier, to warn Luther, he had directly told the other party through the Gray Fog that "the Demoness is attacking his pasture."

With just a little reasoning, Luther could deduce his own identity from this.

"Fortunately, he can only deduce that [The World] is Klein, but he can't guess that [The Fool] is also Klein. If he finds out my last identity, I might be embarrassed to death."

With that thought in mind, Klein stepped down from the carriage.

"Extra number, extra number!"

"Sodela Palace was shelled and reduced to ruins! The Pritz sank, the Imperial Palace guard suffered heavy casualties, and the King himself is directly threatened!"

"The killer, codenamed [Blood Bishop], is still at large! Loen official reward for his head is £120,000."

Newsboys waved newspapers and shouted in the open space outside the ticket office. A crowd gathered around them, scrambling to buy the newspapers. Clearly, they were stunned by the shocking news.

What happened last night is already in the newspapers today?

Klein couldn't help but feel curious. He stepped forward and, using his extraordinary abilities, successfully snatched a copy of the Backlund Post from the crowded throng. Upon unfolding it, he found a detailed account of what Luther had done, presented as a headline.

Of course, as a newspaper aimed at the general public, it did not mention the extraordinary world, but instead made secular modifications to the corresponding events. For example, Luther's control of the warship was changed to him threatening soldiers with bombs, and the cause of the shipwreck was changed to the bomb exploding.

Even so, the above content is sensational enough.

"Good heavens, so the Kaping Case was also done by this Blood Bishop!"

"£120,000! That's a huge bounty, £20,000 more than Agalito, the 'King of Immortality' of the Four Kings of Pirates!"

A group of travelers dressed as adventurers each took a newspaper and whispered among themselves.

Many adventurers' eyes gleamed.

Yes, that's 120,000 pounds, a huge sum of money! No wonder these guys who risk their lives at sea are tempted!

"."

Klein silently closed the newspaper, tucked it under his arm, and turned to walk into the ticket hall.

Luther, you're now world-famous. Desperados from all over the world are after you. Be careful!

Backlund, Hillston District.

Fors stared at the newspaper in his hand, lost in thought, motionless for a long time, until the cigarette between his fingers burned his hand, jolting him awake.

"Ah!"

The cigarette, with its long butt, fell, but just before hitting the floor, it suddenly bounced back and returned to Fors's hand. Having successfully pulled off a "Trick," she couldn't resist picking up the newspaper and reading it again.

Was it really made by [Temperance]?

"What's wrong with you? Why are you making such a loud noise?"

Just then, her friend Hugh pushed open the door and entered, frowning.

"Nothing. You're back?"

Fors casually stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray. "You were in such a hurry to leave just now, was something wrong?"

"Yes, it's that Gold Mask from MI9 who's looking for me."

When work was mentioned, the petite Hugh immediately became serious. "He wants me to investigate that Blood Bishop."

MI9?

Fors suddenly became interested. "I saw the newspaper. Is the Blood Bishop story true? Did he really attack the Imperial Palace?"

"Of course it's true. The cannon fire last night was so loud, how could it be fake? What that Blood Bishop did was even more insane than described in the newspapers."

Hugh replied, "Fors, you've been staying home too long. If you just go out once, you'll see the Pritz, sunk in the Tussock River, and the Sodela Palace, half of which is now ruins."

Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "You know what? This guy was a complete Lunatic! He stormed into the Imperial Palace all by himself, turning it into the Blood Sea, almost tearing it apart, and nearly even reaching the king. His blood stained the Throne red!"

Fors thought of that insane scene and felt a chill run down his spine.

After all, Hugh only learned about Blood Bishop from others, while she herself was going to meet them in person at the Tarot Club.

Bayam, capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, known as the "Generous City," is Sonia Sea.

Any recent news?

Alger Will's Fleet regularly returned to the Church of Storms to report, and he asked a fellow sailor about it.

Big news!

The latter excitedly handed him a newspaper, the contents of which greatly shocked him.

At the same time, news of the attack on the Loen Palace spread like wildfire across the Five Seas, the entire territory of Loen, Intis, Feysac, Feynapotter, Lenburg, and the Southern Continent, and the name of the [Blood Bishop] who committed all of this also spread throughout the world.
