Zhou Mingrui, could you stop messing around? Do I have to strip away every last one of your disguises before you're happy?
After grumbling to himself, Abner considered what Klein had said.
Yaluolan asked you to pass the Book of Calamity to me? I remember that this Pillar of the Moses Ascetic Order has some connection to Rhine Calendia, the Sanguine Duke who was a fellow Transmigrator...
Could this be something that senior set in motion?
But he should be well and truly dead. Lilith even used his body to advance to Beauty Goddess.
Hmm. Could Yaluolan know I have the Pure White Eye and be trying to invest in me early?
While he was turning this over in his mind, Mr. Fool casually pointed out that Yaluolan had already become a "He" and seemed to be in poor condition.
In poor condition... Does He need help from me, or rather, from the Land of Unknown behind the Pure White Eye? Is that why He passed on the Book of Calamity?
It might not be that simple... But with how little I understand or control the Pure White Eye right now, I have no idea how to use this book. I probably can't solve His problem either...
To borrow a line from Roselle: You came too early!
Abner sighed, rose, and thanked Mr. Fool, but made no attempt to take the book beside him. As a Spirit Body, he couldn't carry it away...
Mr. Fool glanced at him calmly, then teleported several pages of parchment before the World and vanished.
The World, seated at the far end of the table, also stood to see Mr. Fool off. Only then did he ask with a raspy chuckle, "Aren't you going to meet Ms. Yaluolan?"
*She might well be an old flame
