Lord of Mysteries: The Color of the Stars

Chapter 63 Mr. Z's Summoning

Julian's aura looked perfectly normal at this moment, except for a hint of weariness in the gray, but otherwise there was nothing seriously wrong.

"Perhaps I need to use my clairvoyance from the 'gray fog' to confirm this again during the next tarot reading."

As Klein thought this through, he replied, "To be honest—I don't know."

He paused, then continued, "In fact, the current academic understanding of Quaternary history is still very superficial. We only know some names, such as the Solomon Empire, the Tudor Empire, and so on, and we have also unearthed some artifacts that can prove the existence of these regimes."

"However, the aristocratic politics and family genealogy of the Quaternary period have always been difficult points of academic research. I can only infer from the architectural style you described that you went to a site from the Tudor Empire, but I don't know much about the figures depicted in those murals."

Klein shrugged. "As a descendant of the Jacob family, you should know more about this than I do. If you don't know either, then I really can't help you. I'm sorry."

"Too."

Julian sighed: "That's true, but at the beginning of the Fifth Age, the Jacob family was hunted down by a coalition of nations, and our family lost most of the historical records in the process."

"Therefore, my understanding of the Quaternary period is less than yours. I only know that the Jacob family was once a powerful family that controlled the path of thievery, and that's all."

The "thief's" method—I see.

Klein nodded thoughtfully, then suggested, "Now that you've received the potion and essential oil from Old Neil and Ms. Daly, use them as usual and get plenty of rest. I believe you'll recover quickly."

"Okay, thank you, Klein."

Julian nodded slightly, and after shaking hands again, he and Ethan turned and left "Blackthorn Security Company" and headed home.

After returning home, Ethan asked to read more books, so Julian simply opened his bookshelf and indicated that Ethan could choose any book without having to report to him.

Anyway, those notes containing forbidden knowledge were locked in the drawer, and unless the owl learned to pick locks, it had absolutely no chance of getting them.

Although Julian was very sleepy, he still took out the second bottle of spiritual restoration potion that Old Neil had given him and drank it down.

He then set up another small prayer ceremony directed at Amanisis, the "Goddess of Night," and reported to this true god of the "dark" path everything that had happened to him at Selena Wood's house that day.

Although Julian is currently in good spirits but otherwise shows no other abnormalities, he is unsure whether the "true creator" has left him any other tricks up his sleeve, so he thinks it's best to consult the goddess for advice, just to be on the safe side.

Unfortunately, the "Goddess of the Night" made no sound this time, and Julian could only pray for peace and sweet dreams before he finally fell asleep in bed again.

Fortunately, he slept very soundly and had no strange dreams. Julian woke up again at 8 a.m. the next day.

He got up in his pajamas and went to the living room, only to find Ethan asleep again, leaning against a stack of books.

After observing it for the past few days, Julian discovered that the owl had a habit of placing the books it hadn't read yet on its right side and the books it had read on its left side, then leaning against them to sleep when it got light.

"Wow, you read so many books in just one night?"

Julian was somewhat surprised because there were five books piled up to Ethan's left.

This means that it has a very deep grasp of the common languages ​​of the Northern Continent, and that the "Reader" potion has shown obvious digestion.

The direct benefit of this was a qualitative leap in reading speed and comprehension. Julian himself had experienced something similar when he was still a "reader," so he had a strange sense of familiarity with this scene.

"This feels so strange, like I'm raising a son."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, then took out a small box, filled it with some insects, placed it in front of Ethan, and turned to wash up.

"Speaking of which, owls grow up to eat mice. Although Ethan hasn't asked for it yet, I might have to start thinking about that."

Julian was washing up and thinking when, just as he finished shaving and thoroughly washing his face, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Bang!"

The familiar sound of falling echoed once again.

"Oops."

Julian slapped his forehead, quickly wiped his face, and went to the living room, where he found Ethan lying on the floor again, looking completely bewildered.

As before, Ethan would lose his balance and fall if he was startled while sleeping, which made Julian consider whether he should get Ethan a nest or something.

He placed Ethan on the sofa before opening the door.

Standing outside the door was Lanluus, which surprised Julian, as he had previously warned Lanluus not to come looking for him unless it was something particularly important.

Furthermore, whether it was his imagination or not, Lanius's eyes seemed more lively than before, unlike when he was...

The Starry Night was so sluggish when it was under control.

Moreover, the neon colors that were originally very obvious on this "fraudster" had been greatly reduced, which made Julian wary again.

Because he was still unsure whether the reduction in neon colors on the other person was due to the "True Creator" sealing off the source of pollution, or whether Lanluus had removed the pollution by some coincidence.

Unfortunately, due to the absence of "Starry Night", Julian has no way to verify it. Therefore, his attitude towards Lanius has become much more normal, and he no longer uses a commanding tone as before.

"Good morning, Lanius."

Julian glanced at the pedestrians on the street outside, nodded to Lanius, and then asked, "What is it?"

"Sirius asked me to inform you that the gentleman has arrived in Tingen from Enmat and specifically requested to see you."

As they were talking, Lanius handed over a letter.

Even though there was nothing written on the envelope, Julian still guessed that there should be a time and address inside.

As for the "that gentleman" that Lanius mentioned, there should only be one person.

That is Mr. Z, the "Rose Bishop," who is one of the 22 divine messengers of the "Aurora Society" and resides in Port Enmarté!

"Persistence pays off, and I finally managed to catch you."

Julian's heart instantly raced with excitement!
