1075 No Response (2/2)

Then, he probed, ”Why didn't you mention the Dragon of Wisdom's true name?”

”It's because I don't dare to directly give the name of a god.” Arrodes gave a confirmed answer in a tacit manner.

Klein nodded and didn't ask further.

”It's your turn.”

”Great Master, do you have any more questions?” The silver word rapidly reorganized itself on the slightly dark mirror. ”No, that's all for today.” Klein shook his head.

With that said, he remembered what had happened the previous time and added, ”I'll summon you again when there are new questions.”

The full-body mirror immediately brightened, and the silver words sparkled:

Yes, Master!

”Your loyal and strong servant, Arrodes, is waiting for you to call again!”

This time, it wasn't a simple drawing but a white cat's paw with a red center.

…There’s always something new…The corner of Klein's mouth twitched slightly as he watched the full-body mirror the bedroom return to normal.

He stood in the darkness, bathed in the crimson moonlight shining through the curtains. After standing quietly for a while, he returned to his bed and quickly fell asleep with the help of Cogitation.

The next morning, on Monday morning, Klein woke up 15 minutes earlier than usual. He led his valet, Enuni, down to the first floor and said to Butler Walter, ”I had a nightmare last night. I want to visit the cathedral before breakfast.”

Although Butler Walter was surprised by this, it wasn't too strange. After all, as long as the cathedral's doors were open, people could enter at any time.

He quickly arranged for a carriage and sent Dwayne Dantes all the way to the door.

When Klein arrived at Saint Samuel Cathedral, the door wasn't opened yet. He waited until eight before entering the main hall with the first batch of believers. He found a seat in the first few pews and sat down facing the Dark Sacred Emblem. Closing his eyes in the tranquil environment, he focused on chanting the Goddess's honorific name in ancient Hermes.

”The Evemight Goddess who stands higher than the cosmos and more eternal than eternity. You are also the Lady of Crimson, the Mother of Concealment, the Empress of Misfortune and Horror, Mistress of Repose and Silence...”

After he finished reciting the honorific name, he changed to his normal Loen language and said almost soundlessly, ”There's an ancient castle in the middle of Delaire Forest. There's an ancient bronze door deep within it. It's sealing a powerful corruptive force... How should I eliminate this latent problem there?”

This wasn't a test of a deity, but an open report. As for what reaction the Church would have after that, and what they would see through their operations, was a whole other matter.

After repeating it seven times, he began to pray seriously.

Time passed. In the quiet and peaceful church, Klein stood up and walked out of Saint Samuel Cathedral with his valet, Enuni.

During this process, he didn't receive any revelations, nor did he see the matron of the Evernight cloister, Arianna.

The feedback itself meant something.

That was he wasn't qualified to know about the underground seal.

East Borough, in a two-bedroom apartment.

Fors pulled up the blanket and covered her head.

She abhorred the curtains here because they were too thin and translucent and couldn't block out the morning sun. That seriously affected her quality of sleep.

I have to change it. No, we might have to move again soon... Just as Fors's thoughts wandered about, she heard the sound of the bedroom door opening and Xio's familiar gait.

In a flash, her blanket disappeared and a letter landed on her.

Your letter, from Pritz Harbor,” Xio informed her.

”...Teacher's reply.” Fors sat up suddenly, opened the letter, and quickly read it.

After a moment of silence, she said, ”I have to go out for a while. My teacher has already reached Backlund... This letter should've arrived two days ago!”

The letter had a date and address.

”The postman over here isn't that responsible.” Xio glanced at her friend and said, ”Will you be late?”

”Fortunately, Teacher said that he would wait three days for me.” Fors hurriedly got off the bed and started changing her clothes.

She had a feeling that she would be able to understand the Abraham family more deeply this time, and also receive the potion formula of Traveler and some Beyonder ingredients.
