Mystery: I, the Hermit, am too eager to improve

Chapter 61 Klein: I must be radical!

"I never imagined I would enter the Tarot Club in this way."

Roy stood in the room, his expression blank for a moment.

No ancient artifacts were found.

No recitation of the honored name was performed.

That's it...

He was a little incredulous, feeling like he'd just received a windfall.

Several minutes later, Roy sat up.

He considered one possibility—

In the mysterious hall, the connection between himself and Klein actually strengthens with each summoning of Klein.

Is there any possibility?

Does my connection with him also exist in some form on the other side of the gray fog?

Ancient relics, imbued with a certain aura, can form stars. Perhaps the connection between myself and Klein is also constantly evolving in this form.

only……

The aura he received was actually the aura emanating from Klein.

It's not impossible!

Roy ascended to the mysterious hall, intending to have his fortune told, but then he froze in an awkward silence.

He has his own mysterious palace, but Klein also has the Gray Mist and the Source Castle.

In a sense, the mystery of the Source Castle may even surpass that of itself—

Although we don't know what the mysterious temple is all about, there is no doubt that the characteristics it exhibits belong to the wilderness of knowledge.

Roy stopped moving.

After a few seconds of thought, he opened the star map of the mysterious hall.

The star chart is dotted with lights, and the star belonging to Klein at this moment looks like the morning star.

He couldn't directly see Klein's current state, but through it, Roy could vaguely sense that the passage had become more stable and led to an incredibly mysterious place.

Klein should still be at Source Castle.

He and Klein had indeed been touched by some aura in the mysterious temple, or rather—

The mysterious hall had absorbed Klein's aura.

This development is truly remarkable.

"In the mystical world, the word 'plan' can be broken at any moment, so as a martial arts scholar and aspiring wizard, you can never have too much preparation."

Roy was summarizing things up.

of course.

By this time, he had completely digested it, so there could be no digestive reaction.

Today is Tuesday.

"There's almost a week left, no, today's almost over, to be precise, there are five days left."

"With my abilities, I can advance to Sequence 7 in two or three days at most."

"Klein, I hope you can hurry up too, otherwise the next tarot session will have to test your spiritual level, or I'll have to ask for leave right away..."

Roy thought to himself.

He wouldn't deliberately slow down his promotion for Klein's sake.

The opponent is blessed by the goddess of the night, while I have nothing but the things I have on me. I must fight with all my might.

Then he began to think about what had happened in the past two days.

Ince started to go crazy.

but.

The Aurora Festival will likely come to an end after Lanius leaves Tingen, unless they want to make something of "the true offspring of the Creator".

Roy recalled Admiral's words.

The boy's words clearly pointed to the Aurora Society, and current developments indicate that the Aurora Society will not remain inactive as it was in the original story.

These people are most likely Mr. Z's subordinates.

It doesn't actually take long for people from Enmat to come to Tingen.

"Was the one who ultimately brought chaos, bloodshed, and death Mr. Z, mentioned in Sirius's letter, the one who would ultimately bring about this?"

"It's not impossible."

Judging from the tone of Sirius and Hainas's letters to Mr. Z, Mr. Z likely governs a large area including Enmat and Tingen.

Now, the original plot can only serve as a reference for the main storyline.

Roy wouldn't be foolish enough to think that Ince and his group would continue on the original path; the Aurora Society's involvement and participation were already a foregone conclusion.

This is most likely a result of Ince's guidance.

……

The following day, Blackthorn Security Company.

The night watchmen were having a small meeting, and most of the members were present, except for old Neil, who was imprisoned.

After the routine matters were discussed, Klein suddenly raised his hand.

Dunn looked over.

"Klein, what is it?"

"Captain, you should remember what I told you about what happened yesterday, right?"

"Klein said."

The others were puzzled, but they still sat down.

Dunn nodded slightly.

Klein took out a piece of paper, which was filled with the extraordinary events they and the Steam Church had encountered this month.

Then, it was filled with all sorts of conjectures.

He submitted it.

Dunn took it and examined it carefully from top to bottom, then frowned slightly.

"Captain, what I want to talk about is not the Aurora Society, but the fact that there are too many coincidences happening between us and the Steam Church, and these coincidences happen precisely when they can be used against us or the Mechanical Heart."

"I don't understand what this means, but I'm very uneasy, so during this time, I've been tracking down Lanius and constantly improving myself."

Klein originally wanted to use a gentler, more long-term approach, gradually revealing the information he had gathered through life and various events, but now time was running out.

He has to become radical!

Leonard's eyes flickered slightly, then he raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say.

Klein paused in time—

He knew Leonard also had a secret!

After receiving Dunn's permission, he stood up and said, "Captain, I have a similar feeling, especially after the Sirius incident, when we almost died, but that setup was clearly aimed at Mr. Roy."

"However, we did not specifically request Mr. Roy to come. We just needed an observer, and when I investigated later, I found out that Mr. Ryan was on a mission that day, so it was Roy's turn to come."

Leonard's expression was unusually serious. "I didn't realize it at first, but Klein's words reminded me that all of this is too much of a coincidence. One or two things are coincidences, but three or four... it's no coincidence."

Dunn's gaze was fixed on the paper.

The office was silent; he was clearly thinking about what Klein and Leonard had brought up.

After piecing things together, he said, "Very perceptive... Perhaps there really is something hidden in the shadows that we haven't grasped."

Dunn remained silent for a long while.

Then he looked at Klein: "Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

"I feel like I've mastered the Diviner's Potion. I'd like to submit a special application. Well, I was able to master it so quickly thanks to Mr. Neil's motto, and also to reminders from Leonard and Ms. Daly."

Klein spoke of his "role-playing summary," and Leonard talked about his own attempts to "read poetry at midnight."

All the events were orderly and logical.

Dunn looked at Leonard.

Leonard nodded slightly: "Yes, I did remind Klein to try becoming a real fortune teller, because after I summarized it, I wanted to know if it would be widely applicable..."

"Leonard, something like this can't happen again. If it's wrong, it could get out of control, especially since Klein just became an Extraordinary."

Dunn warned, then looked at Klein, "You can go and write a special application."

"OK."

"Wait a moment."

Dunn called out to them.

Klein stopped gracefully, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Dunn continued, "You can ask Leonard for advice. Also, you'd better hurry. I'll send it up as soon as possible, and maybe it can still make it back in time for his trip down."

"yes!"
