Audrey unlocked the door to her bedroom and said to Susie, "Susie, sit here . If Annie and the rest try to barge their way in, immediately go to the bathroom to inform me . "

In order to prevent any accidents, her personal maidservant had the key to unlock her door .

Susie looked at her enigmatically and wagged her tail thrice .

"Very good . I will let you choose anything you want for lunch today!" Audrey pumped her fist gently .

After exhorting Susie, she entered the bathroom . The square bathtub was three to four meters on each side . There was clear water rippling gently in it with steam emitting from it . It was quite a dreamy sight .

In front of mirror she wanted to try some divination but after some thought there there were none matters which require a God's help.

"I can't angry Mr. Fool."

...

Klein felt a little perturbed and agitated . He quickly raised his newspaper and hid his face, preventing anyone from seeing the changes to his expression .

Soon, he arrived at Zouteland Street and entered the Blackthorn Security Company .

Before he could greet Rozanne, Klein saw Captain Dunn Smith walk out . He held a piece of paper with a portrait on it .

"Take a look at this internal warrant of arrest . A very cruel and vicious Beyonder has entered Tingen . " Dressed in his black windbreaker, the hatless Dunn swept his gaze over and handed the piece of paper in passing .

Klein received it and the first thing that entered his vision was a portrait sketch .

The sketch was of boy with a round face . He looked amiable with a tiny hint of bashfulness and was fairly young, probably about eighteen or nineteen years old .

"Tris, a suspected Beyonder . The initial estimate is that he's a Sequence 8 Instigator and we are not eliminating the possibility that the Theosophy Order is behind it . The culprit behind the massacre of the Alfalfa . . . According to a witness testimony, he came to Tingen after leaving Enmat Harbor . His current whereabouts are unknown . . . "

"I don't know what to say..." Klein thought and took the sketch. After that captain said to Klein for read the document on secret organization and pathway.

Klein just for his memory he scan them again. Then he suspended for home. In way of home, As he had earned nearly two soli from yesterday's divination, Klein spent ten pence to buy a two-liter barrel of Enmat Beer for Benson on the way home . He also bought some lemon cakes fresh out of the oven for Melissa .

"Klein, I know you care for us deeply, but there's no need . There's no need to keep spending money on such matters," said Benson after he saw the tiny barrel of beer and deliberating over his words .

Melissa stood beside him and nodded slightly .

This is probably how our consumerist habits differ . . . Klein sighed in amusement .

"Benson, Melissa, don't worry . This was bought with my additional reimbursement . Yeah, I earn an additional two to four soli every week . "

I can't tell them that these are the earnings I got from doing divinations for others, right . . . He added inwardly .

" . . . That job of yours is much better than I imagined . " Benson was taken aback as he made an objective assessment .

That's right . I even learned divination from it . . . Klein mused silently before turning toward the kitchen .

Under the combined efforts of the trio of siblings, a sumptuous dinner was ready for eating .

After having their fill, Klein, Benson, and Melissa lay slumped in the living hall . It took them quite a while before they got up to clean up, chat, and study .

...

West Borough . Iron Cross Street Lower Street .

A three-storied apartment was immersed in darkness . There were no street lamps or any additional light .

Suddenly, a figure leaped out of a window from the third floor . It landed gently on the ground like a feather without causing so much as a stir .

His body crouched and suddenly vanished as though he had blended into the shadows . All that could be seen was the outline of his body .

As he traveled quickly, the figure arrived at the harbor . He headed for a corner devoid of anything except for a pile of goods .

He seriously observed for a moment, circling the area twice before the leaving the darkness and entering the corner .

One could see his round and amiable face . He was Instigator Tris, who had single handedly caused the tragedy of the Alfalfa .

"How does it feel?" A mysterious figure wearing a black hooded robe walked out of the shadows . The hoarse voice obviously belonged to a woman .

Tris revealed a friendly and satisfied smile .

"Feels great . It was a scene I dreamed and yearned for .

"I think I have appropriately completed the mission and have taken the necessary preparations for the advancement . "

The black-robed woman nodded indiscernibly and said, "Very well . According to the promise, I'll hand you the Sequence 7 formula and the three main ingredients . You will have to gather the rest by yourself . "

"No problem . " Tris answered, seemingly prepared .

The mysterious woman raised her hand and handed a book-like object to Tris .

The "book" had an ancient and mottled bronze exterior cover with a strange star-shaped lock on its side .

Tris knew that inside the "book" was the formula and ingredients . He instantly became thrilled .

He tried hard to compose himself as he looked curiously at the potion's name on the bronze outer cover .

"Witch!"

Tris exclaimed . He found it unbelievable that the word written in ancient Hermes was "Witch . "

Witch? I'll advance to become a Witch? What a joke!

The mysterious woman covered her mouth and let out a chortle . It took her quite some time before she answered, "Weren't you always curious? Curious about why our upper echelons are all female . . .

"That is the answer . "

...

The crimson moon high in the sky hung silently in the darkness . It illuminated Tingen City, the city of universities, as it gradually fell silent .

Klein stood in front of his desk and looked through his oriel windows to see the empty Daffodil Street . He heard the sound of carriages quickly galloping far away without causing a din .

He picked up his vine-leaf patterned silver pocket watch and snapped it open . He took a glance at it and drew the curtains, making the yellowish lights of the gas lamp reflect back into the bedroom .

Klein turned around at an adequate speed, locked his room, and switched off the gas valve .

The room was immediately covered in darkness . Only a sliver of red moonlight penetrated the curtains . It gave rise to an atmosphere perfect for many late-night folk tales .

Klein took out the silver knife he had applied for . He imagined the spherical light and entered a half-Cogitation state .

Following that, Klein put down the knife and walked four steps in a counterclockwise manner . Every step was accompanied by the incantation from Earth .

The unchanging roars and murmurs inundated him . With the same mania and pain inflicted on him, he did his best to control himself and withstood the most grueling and dangerous stage in his half-conscious state .

The grayish-white fog was endless . The dark red stars were at varying distances from him . The towering divine palace stood erect like a dead giant . Nothing seemed to have changed . The silence and antiquity that had accumulated over thousands of years swarmed him .

Klein scan all red stars and confirmed one is justice and another is hanged man. Then he touched other one he han no big expectations when he thought their nothing his hand touched last star he heard prayer of someone when klein injected his spirituality he confirmed he is the fourth member of Tarot club. He didn't summon him now.

I have to digest my potion in one or two week and that artifact from Evernight church will be arriving in some days.

Klein did not spend too much time above the gray fog . When all the remnant voices returned to normal, he enveloped himself in his spirituality and plunged into the gray fog, plummeting into the material world .

The lights before him flew by rapidly, like the scenes of a movie played back at a speed tens of times faster than normal . After Klein felt faint, he saw curtains that let crimson moonlight through along with the blurry outlines of the desk and bookshelf .

He picked up the silver knife again and removed the spirituality wall in the room . Then, a sudden gust of wind opened the door and went through the corridor .

His mission tomorrow was to head to the underground markets for Beyonder items with Old Neil .

[This fight and scene I feel very boring and it will took very much time. So I skipped it. And returned with next chapter tomorrow.]
