Chapter 44 Divination

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Resisting the urge to beat up a certain detective, behind the long bronze table above the gray fog, Yagelpi said with a smile: "You informed me in time."

"Yeah, I'm also surprised. How come there are so many conflicts in Backlund suddenly?" On the opposite side, Klein continued, "As far as I know, there shouldn't be that many conflicts in the Kingdom of Loen..."

Mr. Bishop looked at him silently.

The young man wearing a double-breasted vest suddenly paused.

'Not that many demigods...?'

Speaking of demigods of unknown origin, their Tarot Society seems to have one.

Rosago, who can quickly kill Sequence Five, appears and disappears, staying awake under the whispers of the true Creator...

And it's still here today.

If he had not been taken to the police station in the evening, but had seen the figure wearing the three-cornered hat face to face, he would have been even more sure.

It's you! Mr. Bishop!

Klein showed a horrified look!

"Huh? What's wrong?" As they looked at each other, a terrifying voice came from the other side.

Above the gray mist, both the Fool and the World leaned back involuntarily, clinging to the high back of the chair behind them, trembling in their hearts.

'Say it? Why didn't you say it?!'

Klein automatically translated Mr. Bishop's words in his mind.

Sometimes, it seems really bad to call the alarm too early...

"Well, this..." He hesitated and changed the subject, "I mean, Backlund does seem to have too many cult organizations recently."

"First it was the Aurora Society, and then there was this incident in the East District."

"I don't know why they have been so active recently."

As he spoke, he realized something was wrong again.

Now it seems that the cases of the Ambassador and Capin were all handled by their Tarot Society.

?The leader of the cult is actually myself?

"Indeed." On the other side, Yager, who had successfully frightened the detective, retracted the gaze that made Klein feel uneasy and nodded, "This case seems to have the involvement of the Psychological Alchemy Society. After all, the missing Mrs. Rudolf's son is

, wanted criminal Bill Rudolph is a member of this organization."

Considering that the church would come looking for him, he reluctantly let Detective Moriarty go for the time being.

'Participation' refers to what Hellas mentioned when explaining to Qonas Kilgor outside the Capine mansion that 'the kidnapping was proposed by a party composed of emerging nobles, and they had to participate'.

Considering that Triss told him that the Psychological Alchemy Society is mostly composed of nobles, the faction and the Psychological Alchemy Society should also be involved.

"Is this so?" Klein was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

Isn't the Psychological Alchemy Society the organization that Miss Justice is in contact with?

It has something to do with the kidnapper Kapin, so it seems that she really needs to be reminded to be careful.

"Then you can also try issuing a commission at the next gathering." Klein responded, "Some members of the Tarot Society know something about Loen's aristocratic circle."

"Last time, the news about the wanted criminal Qilinges coming to Backlund was provided by them."

"Okay, I will try." Yager nodded.

The originally tense atmosphere relaxed.

The conversation above the gray fog also came to an end.

"I will complete the remaining investigation within this month," Klein said, controlling the world. "If there is any progress, I will notify you in time."

"no problem."

"Goodbye then." Yager stood up and nodded to the Fool and Klein.

"goodbye."

Seeing Mr. Bishop's oppressive figure finally disappear from sight, Klein breathed a sigh of relief and lay flat on the Fool's majestic seat without any image.

Thank Goddess! Fortunately, the bishop did not fall out with him on the spot because he called him to the church, otherwise he would really be in trouble.

Based on this conversation, he was 50% sure that the bishop was the extraordinary person who brazenly attacked the Caping Manor and escaped unscathed from the church's pursuit.

Well, but at least, the noble demigod would not secretly look for him afterwards...

This thought came to his mind.

Although Klein automatically denied this possibility, he still followed his inner instructions, climbed up from his seat, sat upright, and took out the fortune telling coins for the nth time today.

The figure sitting at the end of the long table said silently in his heart: 'Mr. Drester will attack me recently.'

'negative.'

The coin spun around in the air, revealing the words on the front.

"That's good, that's good," Klein nodded repeatedly.

He said that Mr. Bishop is not such a fussy person.

He felt relieved.

But despite this, in order to be foolproof and ensure safety, he still drove him to make a divination for the last time.

'It would be dangerous to visit Mr. De Lester.' Xiao Ke muttered silently and tossed the coin.

"Ding--"

The bouncing coins reflected silver light in the air.

After a few seconds, it rolled to the ground.

From Klein's perspective, the portrait of King George III seemed to be mocking him condescendingly, pointing upwards.

'affim.'



The day after the explosion at the Caping Mansion, the Backlund Morning News covered the streets like snowflakes. Citizens holding newspapers and sighing could be seen everywhere on the road.

Most of them were in groups, gathering on the roadside and admiring.

Even the ornate Minsk office is no exception.

Lawyer Emond, who completed a large order yesterday, was sitting at his spacious desk, holding up his glasses and reading the newspaper carefully.

"Since the Aurora Society assassinated Ambassador Intis, there have been frequent incidents of cultists committing crimes in Backlund."

"Yesterday at 5:40 pm, the mansion of Kapin, a wealthy man in the East District, was attacked by a cult. The house was severely damaged. It is reported that there were as many as 15 casualties."

"Most of them are security personnel employed by Kapin."

"However, when church personnel arrived, a large number of injured girls were found at the scene. After questioning, they learned that they had been kidnapped by rich men."

"And Kaping himself ended his sinful life under the attack of the victim girl who woke up first."

Seeing this, Lawyer Edmond took off his glasses and commented with emotion: "Sometimes, cultists will do good things."

The early morning sunlight hit the floor of the law office, sweeping away the chaos of Backlund last night, leaving only the tranquility of life.

"You're right."

Yager, who was fishing on the sofa, responded promptly, trying to cover up the fact that he was drowsy.

But he was still discovered.

"Ahem!" The old lawyer Edmond poked his head out from behind the newspaper and looked at him sharply, "Mr. Drester, shouldn't you be sorting out the case files?"

"Can you put the paper in order with your eyes closed? This is a unique skill!"

"Perhaps our data of the past ten years should be given to you to reorganize..."

"No, no, sorry." Yager humbly sat upright on the sofa and began to work obediently.

Yesterday he was sniping with His Majesty the Emperor in the East District, but today he is already sitting in the office creating value for Loen's GDP growth.

This is what life is like without gold pounds.

He sighed secretly in his heart.

Fortunately, Attorney Edmond had no intention of letting the morning pass in such a miserable way.

"Well, young people should still be careful not to play too late at night." The old lawyer gave an experienced education, "Okay, no need to do it anymore, I believe you are sober now. We have other things today.

Things to do.”

"The Viscount of Manchester has held a symposium in the upper town, and we are going to attend."

Edmond stood up and adjusted his suit jacket in front of the gold-rimmed mirror on the wall behind his desk, as if he was ready to go out immediately.

"Now?" Yager put down the case file without thinking a word in confusion, "Don't banquets usually take place in the evening?"

"It is a banquet, but not a symposium. Due to work needs, the Viscount of Manchester invited our law firm to negotiate and share disputes about the possible introduction of the Corn Bill."

"In fact, the Kingdom Council takes this very seriously. This time, even Earl Hall's eldest son will attend."
