Lord of Mysteries: The Color of the Stars

Gaining the qualification to enter the "Source Castle" has two advantages. First, the two "unofficial" followers of the "Goddess of the Night" can indirectly help each other. Second, Julian can also use the "Source Castle's" restraint on the "Starry Night" to strengthen his own stability.

After all, from Amanisis's perspective, He most likely didn't know that Julian knew that "The Fool" was Klein.

As for why "Starry Night" didn't attack Klein, Julian also had a guess.

That is, although Klein possesses the aura of the "Source Castle", his essence is quite different from that of the "Celestial Venerable".

Therefore, when "Starry Night" faces him, she naturally finds herself in a dilemma:

The other party was like an ordinary "fortune teller" at the same time, and also like a "celestial being".

This made "Starry Night" want to attack him, but she was also worried about being beaten to a pulp.

In a sense, this can be seen as a case of being stubborn to the point of being unable to achieve anything.

But for Julian, having another means to deal with "Starry Night" was something he would naturally welcome.

As for the talk about "needing to select participants," he naturally knew that this was just an excuse Klein had come up with, and that this guy was most likely performing divination on him on "Source Castle."

He smiled slightly, then contentedly lay back on the bed and soon fell asleep again.

In fact, just as Julian had predicted, "The Fool" Klein had just emerged from his meditative state.

He rubbed his temples:

"It seems to be a color from the universe... It looks very similar to the color on Julian's body."

"More importantly, that thing seemed to have some inexplicable fear of this gray fog, and even exhibited a stress response..."

"Could it be that some alien creature is residing in him?"

Klein suddenly paused, lost in thought:

"Coming from outer space, possessing extraordinary knowledge of the 'gray fog,' perhaps it's related to my transmigration itself?"

The idea kept nagging at Klein's heart, and it made him determined to continue to deepen his contact with Julian.

"...Julian Albrecht harbors ill intentions towards me."

As he muttered those words to himself, he took out a coin bearing the name of King George III of the Kingdom of Rune and tossed it into the air.

"Snapped!"

Klein caught the coin with both hands and then showed it to Klein.

The side with the numbers facing up.

This means "negation," which implies that Julian has no ill will towards Klein.

"call."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief; he had already made up his mind to bring this assistant professor into the "Tarot Club."

Having made up his mind, he fell from the gray fog and returned to Moretti's house.

"Klein, you're driving me crazy!"

Outside the washroom, Benson was clutching his bladder, his face ashen.

"Melissa said you had an upset stomach, so I didn't bother you."

Klein paused for a moment, then chuckled.

He patted Benson on the back:

"Sorry, you'd better hurry up."

……

The next morning, Julian went to "Blackthorn Security Company" early to report for duty. After meeting Klein, who had just joined "Night Watchers" but was not yet familiar with the work process, he chatted with Rosanne at the front desk for a while, making the young girl laugh non-stop.

"Professor Albrecht, I often hear people say that Remenberg people are very rigid and meticulous, but you don't seem to be like that at all."

She said to Julian.

"That's not necessarily true."

Julian suddenly put on a stern face:

"That's because you're not my student. If you want to attend my open lectures, you can do so on the 15th of each month..."

"Never mind, never mind."

Rosanne quickly waved her hand; she had heard Leonard recount Julian's pedantic remarks during their initial investigation of Klein:

"I don't have enough interest or talent in physics. You can talk to the other team members about it."

"it's a pity."

Julian shrugged, turned to look at Mrs. Oriana, who was carrying a stack of documents and had come to see Rosanne, then turned back and said:

"I have something to do, so I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he gestured to Rosanne that she didn't need to get up to see him off, and then turned and left "Blackthorn Security Company" alone, boarding a taxi.

Julian soon arrived at the "Fortune Telling Club".

Good afternoon, Angelica.

Julian greeted Angelica.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Albrecht."

Angelica smiled at Julian in response, and then asked:

"Mr. Haynes Vancent is giving a divination class in the inner meeting room. It seems to be about pendulum divination. Would you be interested in going in and listening?"

"I……"

Julian was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly heard the door behind him being pushed open with a "bang".

He turned around in surprise and found a man who looked like a butler supporting the door and bowing to clear the way for a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties.

The middle-aged man was dressed in an expensive gray-white suit and held a black cane with a gold-plated top. Although his skin had an unhealthy gray-white appearance, his deep blue eyes revealed an imposing and dignified aura.

The man was so thin that his suit looked somewhat loose—but Julian knew it wasn't because the clothes were too big, because the slightly drooping, finely lined skin under his jaw indicated that he had lost a lot of weight in a short period of time.

"Congressman Oakley."

Angelica was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening, and quickly stepped forward to say:

"Your unexpected visit is a great honor to our fortune-telling club."

"Is there anything we can do for you?"

Julian was also slightly surprised upon hearing this.

Because the title "senator" cannot be used casually in the Kingdom of Rune, it generally refers to members of the two houses—and judging from the other person's style of dress, Julian guessed that he was probably a senator of the upper house, most likely a nobleman.

Although Tingen is not among the top-tier cities in Rune, it is home to many nobles with fiefdoms, so it is not surprising that a councilor would be present there.

What really puzzled him was why such a person would visit a small fortune-telling club.

The middle-aged man named Oakley shook his head:

"Is Mr. Vancent here? I need to have a divination done by him."

"I know this is hard to understand, but I guess he's the only one I can turn to now."

"Mr. Vancent is giving a lecture, which will probably last at least another two hours."

Angelica shook her head:

"If you can wait..."

"My time is very precious."

Oakley interrupted Angelica.

"Oh, right."

Angelica pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly seemed to realize something and turned to look at Julian:

"This Mr. Julian Albrecht is our newly recruited diviner. He is skilled in physiognomy and his abilities have been fully recognized by Mr. Vancent."

"If you're in a hurry, you can let him try it first, and if he's not satisfied, then you can contact Mr. Vancent."

"Face reading and fortune telling?"

Congressman Oakley looked at Julian with some suspicion.

He sized Julian up and down, and only after confirming that the latter was well-dressed and had a scholarly air did his attitude soften slightly.

"I've never heard of this kind of divination technique before. Is it reliable?"
