Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 132 Reactions from All Sides and Little Sun (2600)

The Mother Goddess agreed to part of Kurt's request; she would help Kurt "forge" extraordinary items—but does the Mother Goddess really have this ability? Or did she turn to the God of Steam and Machinery—although these two deities barely interacted in the original story.

Kurt didn't think about it deeply, knowing it wouldn't help the current situation anyway. As for not giving Melanie the special ability, it was probably a warning to himself not to push his luck.

Kurt finished the ceremony with a devout expression. As for the harvest date, Kurt didn't ask. In any case, Lilith wouldn't have any ill intentions towards the two Sequence 5 properties—right?

Looking at the completely dark Backlund, Kurt took out the black whip and used dream divination to learn that it was also a Sequence 7 extraordinary item, from a witch. Its function was to cause great pain when it hit an enemy, and it could also attack spirits and make enemies sluggish.

The side effect is that after using it for a period of time, the body will become extremely itchy. It is necessary to break enough wounds to release the cursed blood in order to counteract the side effect.

It's not very useful to me, and the side effects are quite significant—Kurt planned to sell it at the Extraordinary Gathering later, so he casually gave it the name "Cursed Whip" and tossed it onto Black Peak.

With that, the Kapin incident was essentially over—the rest was left to the night watchmen and the police station.

Of course, to prevent the data from being deliberately destroyed, Kurt had memorized all their locations. Since the police station hadn't made a move for two days, he didn't mind making a big fuss.

Three days is his limit. Human traffickers aren't stupid; they won't just sit idly by and wait to die after they find out their boss is dead.

Of course, this time Kurt didn't make a big fuss. The whole process was secretive and quick. Unless the police department is stupid, they won't release the news, at least not tomorrow, unless the royal family interferes.

After doing all this, Kurt unusually went to bed early, at 10 pm. Of course, before going to sleep, he took off his "all-nighter bracelet." This way, he wouldn't have nightmares tonight, but the time needed for full recovery would return to its previous level.

"Can we find out who took Horace's glove?"

An angry voice reached the ears of a shorter extraordinary being, who quickly said, "Sir, we have branded that disciplinary glove, and I will divine its whereabouts now."

This extraordinary diviner was indeed very cautious. He first divined the danger of the divination and received a very safe revelation before confidently divining the whereabouts of the gloves.

First he saw dark clouds, then vines slowly filled his eyes, and then they suddenly began to rot, with countless tentacles emerging from the branches, from the diviner's eyes, stomach, and mouth.

"Damn it!" The speaker screamed in terror, his body covered in fuzz and fungal growths as he fled the room in a panic.

The diviner's seven orifices were now filled with strange, vibrant branches, each with a semi-fleshy growth that throbbed slowly, each containing a large, pulsating eyeball that curiously observed the world.

His abdomen was also swollen high, as if something was about to burst out of his belly.

The next day, while having breakfast, Kurt didn't tell Sinker about the move. He planned to discuss it with his sister when she returned, suggesting they dismiss all the servants and then find them suitable new jobs at a charitable foundation. Ever since the incident with Finks, he had increasingly felt surrounded by danger.

We can't let any more innocent people get involved. After discussing it with my sister, we'll focus on taking care of the family from now on. He's also decided to reveal his identity as soon as she returns, so she can join the Church of the Earth Mother and receive its protection. Ideally, she should go directly to Feneport for the Church's protection.

Of course, it depends on what my sister thinks; at the very least, I can't keep it from her anymore.

Kurt made a point of checking major newspapers like the Backlund Morning Post and the Tasok newspaper today and found that yesterday's events had indeed been reported, and were prominently featured on the front page.

They even managed to publish the newspapers overnight, and instead of mentioning those extraordinary members of the royal family, they exposed all of Capin's misdeeds.

The newspaper also mentioned the document left by Kurt and the "lover's card" that Capin mentioned. Of course, this time they didn't mention the safe, or they didn't even know there was a safe.

"Tsk, these guys are pretty quick," Kurt sighed, preparing to personally eliminate a few strongholds that night.

And why not give me a cool nickname too? Although the "lover's card" should generate a lot of discussion and probably get a lot of "anchors".

The mansion of Earl Hall.

As Audrey and her family were having breakfast, Earl Hall looked at the newspaper and said, "Carpin is dead."

-

He then looked at what had happened, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly, but he didn't say anything more.

Audrey asked curiously, "Who is Capin?"

Earl Hall glanced at his beloved daughter and explained with a smile, "A newly rich businessman, who has only recently made his name, was rumored to have been involved in illegal businesses before. Today's newspaper confirmed this. His mansion was hiding a large number of young girls, and according to the information left by the murderer, he controlled about one-fifth of the slave industry in Backlund. He deserved to die."

Audrey took a sip of the hot milk the maids had poured for her, and her father's curiosity was piqued when she asked, "The information left by the murderer?"

Count Hall nodded and said, "The murderer clearly came to expose Capin's atrocities. He not only silently killed everyone in the villa, but also recorded all their incriminating evidence and information about some human traffickers' hideouts, throwing it in Capin's face—and even inserted one of the major cards of the Tarot, 'The Lovers,' into his mouth. This saved the fate of dozens of girls—"

"Lovers' card?" Audrey was startled and almost spat out the milk she had just drunk. Mrs. Hall quickly supported her daughter's back and asked with concern, "Don't get distracted while drinking milk. Are you alright, my Audrey?"

Audrey coughed twice, her face red, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Mom."

At this moment, Hilbert Hall, Audrey's older brother, sitting opposite her, said in confusion, "If it was done so quietly, how did it make it into the newspapers so quickly? It seems to have happened last night."

Earl Hall didn't respond, and the topic was dropped. Only Audrey felt a great turmoil in her heart, unable to stop thinking about her "lover" in this matter.

Berg's House in Silver City.

Derrick Berger finally managed to appease Alice and secure some time alone with her.

Alice's arrival brought warmth and affection to Derrick, who was supposed to be enduring loneliness. Moreover, the food in Silver City has been increasing recently, and each expedition team brings back a wealth of loot.

-

Although strange people who like to sing and confess their love to everyone often appear on the street, Derrick even felt happiness for the first time in a long time thanks to Alice's "feeding".

However, the only thing that bothered Derrick was that Alice was almost always by his side, and sometimes very close to him, which made Derrick feel a little uncomfortable—and since he had not yet become a Blood Warrior, there was not much he could bring to his family.

He anxiously awaited the arrival of Mr. Fool's power so that he could gain strength to better protect Silver City and his new family.

Seeing Derrick's somewhat restless and nervous expression, Alice, who was sitting next to him, was idly counting the flashes of lightning outside the window.

While keeping an eye on Derrick to prevent him from being lured away by the Fool who resembled an evil god, she considered whether to hold a grand event in Silver City, but was also worried about attracting the attention of that rude Amon, and besides, the people here probably wouldn't understand her humor.

Thinking of this, Alice silently apologized to the guy who got beaten up because of her that day. Now Alice and he were friends—the experiment on him today seemed to have made him hiccup as soon as he spoke, so he probably wouldn't get beaten up this time—

Just then, Derrick saw a deep red aura spreading in the void, which instantly engulfed him.

Alice immediately erased all traces of herself, refraining from rashly following the gray fog, as she instinctively felt it could detect her. Therefore, she simply observed from the outside.

Klein saw the "sun" that had successfully appeared, but found nothing unusual, nor did he see a single strand of unusual black hair in Derrick's hair.

He was pleased that the audience had not been disturbed, and he spoke with a smile in Giant's tongue:

"Sun, we meet again."
