Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 138 Dad?! (Second Update)

Because Klein was still pretending to be the "Fool" in the Source Castle, which closely resembled his own state, Kurt didn't kindly remind him that the effect of his prayer had changed. This meant the astute Klein might easily have noticed the flaw—

So Kurt simply responded to his prayer and, through instruction, made him feel that the blessing had been successful. After that, he did nothing else, mainly because he was eager to study what abilities the Source Castle, connected to his own space, could provide him.

As for Klein, it was a different story. When he finished reciting the last prayer, he suddenly felt a huge tremor coming from the depths of the gray fog, which startled him. Then he felt the blessing succeed.

Klein was somewhat bewildered, but for safety's sake, he still went to the source of the tremor. There he saw a very tall staircase, and looking up, he saw seven beams of light of different colors, and something green—

When he tried to climb the stairs, he failed. Finally, due to his spiritual exhaustion, he had to wrap himself in spiritual energy to simulate falling back to his bedroom in his apartment on Narcissus Street, where cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

Above the churning dark clouds, a ring-shaped structure resembling DNA, made of gray mist, connected "heaven and earth." Kurt attempted to directly "analyze" the abilities of this gray mist.

It was discovered that, similar to his source essence, his advanced authority could only be mobilized to a limited extent within this space, while what he could take out—

My abilities are only up to Sequence Six—I thought I could directly play with higher Sequence abilities, but it's not bad as it is now.

Of course, it's Sequence Six through three pathways! It's like the Gou family sent three Sequence Sixes to me to describe their nature, and they can even distribute them to believers!

Are these two paths of his adjacent to the Gate, the Error, and the Fool? They can even directly manipulate the gray mist—Kut suddenly felt a headache coming on. It was one thing to be closely related to that person, but now he was also involved with the Celestial Venerable. It felt increasingly dangerous.

Kurt stayed for a while longer, checking to see if anything strange had parasitized his space, such as the old ghost's will or something.

The result was that there was nothing, or he couldn't find it at all, and then he returned to the real world with nearly 30 different extraordinary "properties" he had gained.

Silver City, the Berg family.

Alice, who had been standing guard beside Derrick, saw him open his eyes with a hint of disappointment. Only after the aura of the gray mist had completely dissipated did she begin to peruse Derrick's memories.

She didn't delve into Derrick's deepest private thoughts—though there weren't many.

Alice glanced at what had just happened, and her expression instantly changed, her emotions unusually fluctuating.

-

Dad! I never expected to find him so quickly. His aura and demeanor were absolutely right! I thought we wouldn't be able to find him anytime soon—Father has finally temporarily shaken off his madness and returned to his gentle self.

Mother Goddess, uh—definitely not the invincible one outside—it should be my mom. Her memories should have only recently "reappeared" in the world. Okay, that way Dad shouldn't have died suddenly halfway through.

Alice watched Derrick's retreating figure as he got up to copy down the formula, and sighed.

I really can't go out by myself. I still have to help Silver City—I might even have to ask my father for help. But I don't know what kind of strength that Fool has, so I can't rashly sneak up into the Gray Fog.

And she couldn't acknowledge her father; that would only repeat the same mistakes—Alice shuddered as she recalled her father's later years, that extreme repression and madness, that feeling of wanting to devour everything in the world while constantly teetering on the edge of "explosion"—she would never forget it.

She was swallowed by her father before she could see the final explosion. She was told that the world was about to restart and that she should go to the future to wait for his message. When she regained consciousness, she found herself in this dark place.

If only the extraordinary properties of Sequence One had come along too, they should be with Mother now—otherwise I wouldn't be afraid of that Amon—Alice thought to herself, and finally disappeared from the room in a pale flash of lightning.

Queens, the Earl of Hall's mansion.

Looking at herself in the dressing table mirror, Audrey longed to tell her father right now that members of the royal family were behind the Capping case, and to have him raise the issue in the House of Lords.

However, having experienced some things and learned a few things, Audrey ultimately rejected the idea.

First, she has no way of explaining the source of this information, which would have the worst-case scenario of directly exposing the Tarot Club, and she and her family would likely be punished by Mr. Fool.

Secondly, if their father publicly revealed the crimes of those disgusting individuals, he might face retaliation and endanger the family.

Thirdly, Mr. Kurt said that these things even relate to the current King George III. Mr. Kurt said that the current king is very likely to be an extraordinary being above demigod. Although Mr. "The Hanged Man" said that the king cannot become an extraordinary being above Sequence 5, he still affirmed this hypothesis—that this might lead to more severe retaliation and harm.

This wasn't the first time Audrey had witnessed the darkness of aristocratic circles. Of course, before, she had only heard rumors with questionable veracity and some minor embarrassing incidents; after all, nobles were extremely concerned with their image.

But the thought of children even younger than herself being sold to those horrible places to be played with, abused, and enslaved deeply saddened Audrey. She felt she had to do something, like Mr. Kurt, to do what she could—

Having found her direction, Audrey began to think about what made her stand out: beauty, politeness —

These are useless. Oh, right, I have money! I can provide funding.

Just then, a slightly chilly wind blew by. Audrey, with her experience, immediately recognized it as Mr. Kurt's messenger. She activated her spiritual vision and saw Sorin, still looking indifferent, slowly float out of the spirit world, saying in Old Fussack, "A letter from Kurt to you."

Audrey, who had a dedicated language teacher, understood the gist of it and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, Audrey took the envelope and was about to open it when she heard Susie scream in terror.

"Woof! What's that, Audrey! There's a ghost—"

Although it was afraid, it still came to Audrey's side and stared intently at Sorin.

Audrey then remembered that she had already taught Susie how to activate her spiritual vision, and she explained, "Susie, it's okay, Sorin won't hurt me, she's a messenger."

Only after hearing that it posed no threat to Audrey did she call out twice more, relieved.

Audrey then spoke to Sorin in somewhat broken Old Fursacese, "Excuse me, Miss Sorin, could you wait a moment? I need to reply to a letter this time."
