He received a letter? Didn't they say there was something wrong at home? Walter's family lives in Backlund. If something really happened, wouldn't it be faster to just take a public carriage or a taxi than to send a letter? With his income and the land in the countryside, he could definitely afford it... Klein nodded as if he were just asking casually, and didn't say anything more.

He slowly walked back to his armchair, sat down, picked up a newspaper, and began to read it very seriously.

Seeing this, Richardson didn't say anything, quietly backed out of the room, and silently closed the wooden door.

Only after a soft click did Klein look up from the newspaper and gaze at the doorway, thinking to himself:

I discovered another of Richardson's strengths: he enjoys observing his surroundings and can spot valuable information. For example, he was the first to spot Bishop Electra visiting Councilor Mauri Macht balcony...

However, this differs from the Spectator; the focus is on the event, not the details...

Walter's situation is a bit unusual. Could this be the extra development that " Magic Mirror " Arrodes was referring to?

Regardless, go get Divination done first, just in case there's harm going on unknowingly...

Thinking of this, Klein immediately entered the bathroom of the room, took four steps backward, and came to the top of the Gray Fog. Each time he existed in the state of " The Fool ", the core beneath his Gray Fog was always the appearance of Klein Moretti, and would not overlap with the images of Sherlock Moriarty, Gehrman Sparrow, Dawn Dantès, etc.

Lacking necessary information, he could only perform Divination regarding his own safety, so he did not use the "dream method," but directly removed the pendulum from his wrist and wrote down the corresponding Divination statement:

" Walter's abnormality poses a danger to me."

Holding his left hand in a fist and closing his eyes, Klein entered a Cogitation state, softly reciting the words he had just written down.

After repeating it seven times, he opened his eyes and looked at the silver chain. He saw that the citrine pendant was rotating counterclockwise, with a normal amplitude and speed.

This means that Walter's anomaly will not pose a danger to him.

But that only proves one point. Perhaps I will encounter trouble that is not dangerous... In addition, there is another possibility: whether it is dangerous or not depends on whether a normal choice is made. If I rashly get involved, even something that is not dangerous will become dangerous... Klein interprets this based on his rich experience.

He had just put this matter aside when he suddenly saw the deep red star, symbolizing the " The Hermit," radiate light and begin to expand and contract.

Was the payment for " Lucky Scales " finally coming? Klein was overjoyed and immediately extended his Spirituality over the matter.

After the contact, he was disappointed because " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya was only asking Mr. " The Fool " to convey her words to " The Hanged Man," without mentioning when the deal with "The World" would be completed.

" The Abyss Maelstrom, directly north of Sonia Island, has the Obninsk Sea Monster? Mr. The Hanged Man is lucky; at least he doesn't have to enter the Ruins of the Gods' Battle like I did... Of course, the Obninsk Sea Monster is also very dangerous. Using it to perform a ritual isn't a simple matter. Mr. The Hanged Man might even have to ask the Sea God for help..."

"The ' The Hermit ' lady's' request was to help find the direct descendants of the Abraham Family... This means the ' Mystery Queen ' is quite aware of Mr. 'The Door's' origins... Did the Emperor mention it to her?" Klein connected Cattleya's words with " Admiral of Stars " while casting the corresponding images into the crimson star representing the " The Hanged Man."

At this time, Alger Wilson had just finished his performance review, passed the assessment, and reboarded the " Blue Avenger ".

Upon seeing the boundless Gray Fog and hearing the words of the " The Hermit," he calmly walked towards the captain's cabin, maintaining his usual pace and stride.

He entered the room, closed the door, went to the liquor cabinet, took out a bottle of " Lerunqi," the pirates' favorite drink, opened a beer glass, and poured half a glass.

Alger immediately picked up the glass, brought it to his lips, and gulped it down as if it were water, not spirits.

During this process, his eyes were half-closed, as if he were immersed in his own world.

After finishing the half-cup of " Lerunqi," Alger put down the cup, wiped his mouth, and chuckled softly.

"A direct descendant of the Abraham Family? That's incredibly difficult for others, almost impossible to find, but I can ask Miss ' Magician,' whose teacher was... well, ' Admiral of Stars ' doesn't know about this yet."

He quickly composed himself, paced back and forth a few steps, and finally decided to abandon his previous idea and respond to the " The Hermit " Cattleya's request.

" The Admiral of Stars " won't just ask me for help; at next week's Tarot Club, she'll likely issue this task to all members, and everyone else also knows that Miss " The Magician's" teacher is from the Abraham Family... There's no need to lie about something so easily exposed; I can't ruin potential future transactions for the sake of petty gains... Sometimes, honesty is the least costly approach... Alger stopped, respectfully lowered his head, and began to recite the name of Mr. " The Fool ":

"... Please tell Lady ' The Hermit ' that she can directly inquire with Miss ' The Magician ' about clues regarding the direct descendants of the Abraham Family..."

After explaining to " Admiral of Stars " about changing the requirements, Alger took the initiative to mention his experience on the night of the " Blood Moon " and asked Mr. " The Fool " whether the Beyonder Characteristic of " Ocean Songster " resonated with the " Book of Calamity " and whether the woman holding the golden goblet in the coral palace in the dream was Cohinem.

"Is that so?" The Queen of Calamity really is still alive after death... It must be that she herself divided her Beyonder Characteristic, one part was made into the Book of Calamity, and another part was left in the underwater ruins. Hmm, maybe there is a third and fourth part, but I don't know where they are... As soon as the " The Hanged Man " finished speaking, Klein was certain without a doubt that the Elf the other party dreamed of was the " Queen of Calamity," Cohinem!

This is not intuition, but a well-founded deduction:

He once possessed the golden goblet that Elf King Cohinem loved most, and a similar vessel appeared in his dream;

The Elf Singer Siatas knows some details about the " Queen of Calamity's " life and has deep feelings for this Angel, suggesting that she is most likely Elf working for Cohinem. It is entirely understandable that her Beyonder Characteristic resonated with the " Book of Calamity " on the "Night of the Blood Moon ".

Thinking of this, Klein suddenly remembered something: he had given Cohinem's favorite golden goblet to " Vice Admiral Iceberg " Edwina, asking her to place the vessel in Siatas's tomb.

If the " Queen of Calamity " is not truly dead, will the joint burial of the Golden Goblet and the Elf corpses beside her cause some kind of anomaly? Klein quickly calculated the time and realized that he was not sure if the Golden Dream " had reached Sonia Island.

After a moment's thought, he calmly and composedly responded to " The Hanged Man ":

"Right."

Then, he "transmitted" the first part of the other person's words to the crimson star that symbolized the " The Hermit " Cattleya.

After doing all this, Klein materialized "The World" Gehrman Sparrow and made him pray:

"Great ' The Fool,' please convey to Danitz that he inquire with ' Vice Admiral Iceberg ' Edwina Edwards about any anomalies regarding the remains of the Elf Singer Siatas and the Golden Goblet."

Whew... Klein breathed a sigh of relief after completing the operation, tossed the corresponding image into the specially marked prayer light spot next to him, and then returned to the real world and walked out of the restroom.

Standing before the full-length mirror, looking at his reflection with its graying temples and deep Blue Eyes, a slight smile crept onto his lips. He knew he had once again transformed from "Mr. The Fool " back into the enigmatic billionaire Dawn Dantès.

Bayam, in the primeval forest.

While drinking and eating meat at a rebel base and loudly boasting, Danitz suddenly shuddered and almost choked on the liquid in his mouth.

Although this wasn't the first time he'd received a response from the great " The Fool," it still filled him with trepidation and inexplicable fear.

Once he could clearly make out the figure and understand what was being said, he breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that it was Gehrman Sparrow who wanted to ask him for a favor.

"Ask the captain? That's easy... The Golden Dream will be here to pick me up in a few days... Hehe, Gehrman Sparrow isn't crazy at all in front of the great ' The Fool,' he's even quite devout and respectful..." Danitz quickly relaxed and thought leisurely.

Meanwhile, aboard the " Future," " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya, slightly taken aback by the reply, muttered to herself:

"Should I ask Miss ' Magician ' directly?"

"Yes, she seems to be Beyonder on the ' Apprentice ' path... and she's even connected to the Abraham Family?"

"She's definitely not simple!"

After considering it for a moment, Cattleya decided not to give " The Hanged Man " any new tasks, because she was unsure whether Miss " The Magician " would be willing to reveal clues about the Abraham Family.

Walter returned to 160 Böklund Street in the afternoon, looking normal, as if things had been resolved easily, just like always.

Klein didn't ask any more questions. He felt that their relationship hadn't reached the point where the butler could be completely honest with him, and the problem hadn't yet surfaced in front of him to the point where it could no longer be concealed.

Time flew by as he studied. The following evening, just before the Full Moon, Klein, accompanied by his personal valet Richardson, traveled in a rented luxury carriage to Saint Samuel Cathedral to attend the Moon Mass.

He wasn't worried about the potential donations, since Miss Justice had already paid the £1,000, and he had £2,186 on him. Donating a few hundred pounds wouldn't be a problem for him.

It was just to avoid making things difficult... Klein sighed inwardly, glanced at the symmetrical bell towers outside the window, left the carriage, crossed the square, and entered the Saint Samuel Cathedral.
