At No. 15 Minsk Street, Klein returned home and did not rush to the gray fog to divine. He read the newspaper as if nothing had happened.

During this process, he heard illusory and overlapping voices of prayer, and vaguely recognized that they came from a lady.

After being tortured by the True Creator's mumbling, my ability in this area seems to have improved a little... Klein flipped through the newspaper thoughtfully, half sitting and half lying on the armchair without moving.

It was not until the hand of the pocket watch approached 10 o'clock that he put down what he was doing and went to the bathroom on the second floor to clean himself.

Entering the bedroom and drawing the curtains, Klein skillfully walked above the gray fog and saw the crimson star that symbolized "justice" constantly expanding and contracting, bringing with it cries of prayer.

Klein extended his spirituality and made contact. Miss Justice, wearing a light white silk nightgown, immediately appeared before his eyes.

Her image was still blurry, and she seemed to be lying on the bed.

After reciting the honorific name, Audrey got to the point:

"Ambassador Becker is a 'Hunter' Pathway Sequence 6 'conspirator', with a suspected Sequence 5 assistant..."

"After I got the detailed information, I asked Mr. A. He agreed to take over the mission of assassinating Ambassador Baker, but the condition was 10,000 gold pounds, or the formula of one of the potions of 'No Darkness', 'Disaster Priest', 'Prophet' and 'Manipulator'. It doesn't need to be complete, just a part of it will do."

"I chose the former and paid 2,000 pounds in advance. Dear Mr. Fool, is my decision correct?"

10,000 gold pounds... Klein's mouth twitched, and he immediately forced himself to change his mind:

The assistant of Sequence 5 should be the intruder from the "Fortune Teller" path, right?

Just treat it as such and be lenient with the enemy...

Does Mr. A have the ability to do this? Will he take the money and not do the job?

“Disaster Priest”, “Prophet”, “Manipulator” and “No Darkness” are on the same level, and should all belong to Sequence 4, which is the threshold for high sequences...

Mr. A is very likely one of the twenty-two divine messengers of the Aurora Society. Being assigned to Backlund, the capital of all cities, means that his status is second only to the top five saints, and he is the best among the divine messengers...

The Aurora Society controls the "Secret Prayer" path, which is a direct way to approach the "True Creator". As a divine messenger, he is most likely a Beyonder on this sequence chain. Based on Backlund's status, it can be preliminarily determined that he is Sequence 5. He is a "Shepherd". Of course, he may also be a lower "Rose Bishop", but in other aspects, such as intelligence, he is more outstanding...

I must remind Miss Justice that she cannot have too much contact with Mr. A. The Beyonders of the Secret Prayer Path are either lunatics who have already shown abnormalities, or lunatics who are hiding very deeply, with almost no exceptions... The Sequence 8 Listeners of this Path often hear the voice of the True Creator...

Well, only a madman would be bold enough to accept the mission to assassinate Ambassador Intis, and have the courage to complete it...

I have some recipes for the "No Darkness" potion here, as well as the corresponding advanced rituals, which can save Miss Justice 10,000 gold pounds...

Why did Mr. A only want the formulas for "The Darker One", "The Disaster Priest", "The Prophet" and "The Manipulator"? Is this a path that can be interchanged with the "Secret Prayer" path at a higher order? There are a lot of them, so there are five now...

“The One Without Darkness” is from the Eternal Blazing Sun, and “The Disaster Priest” sounds like the Lord of Storms, or the Goddess of Night… I previously determined that the paths of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom were of similar sequences, so they were hostile to each other. So it seems that “The Disaster Priest” belongs to the Lord of Storms, which is Sequence 4 of the “Sailor” path, and “The Prophet” is from the God of Knowledge and Wisdom…

Which path does the "manipulator" take?

They can actually be interchanged with the sequences corresponding to the "real creator", which is quite interesting...

Well... I can't give Mr. A the formula of "No Darkness", not even part of it. The members of the Aurora Society are all crazy people who are always looking for opportunities to retaliate against the world and endanger public safety. Strategic drugs cannot be traded to them... This is not only a bottom line issue, but also involves personal safety. Once the time is right, those crazy people in the Aurora Society may really sacrifice the entire city...

Let Miss Justice spend the 10,000 pounds. It includes the reward she plans to give to my followers. I can compensate her with knowledge for the rest... Klein reached out and pinched his cheek.

He did not respond to "justice" for the time being, but instead materialized paper and pen, ready to do divination.

Klein had no idea about the friend that Maric mentioned. He could only judge from the pronoun "she" that she was a female. If he wanted to directly divine whether the other person was reliable, failure was the inevitable result.

However, Klein can use indirect divination to indirectly predict his own safety, so the success rate will be much higher.

As for whether there would be interference and how accurate the results would be, he was not worried at all because of the obstruction of the gray fog.

After pondering for more than ten seconds, Klein wrote:

"It's risky for me to hire that friend of Maric's as a bodyguard for three days."

After putting away the pen and taking off the pendulum, Klein gathered his mind and quickly did a divination.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the topaz pendant rotating clockwise, but with a small amplitude and very slow speed.

There is a certain risk, but it is quite low... and reliable... Klein nodded slightly and changed to fortune-telling Mr. A.

Similarly, he had no direct contact with Mr. A, and all his knowledge was based on retelling and inference. It was difficult to get an answer to whether he was capable and willing to keep his promise. He could only start from another aspect and use indirect divination.

As an outstanding "fortune teller", Klein quickly determined the direction, which was to tell Ambassador Bakerland's fortune!

This ambassador had quite a lot to do with him, and the corresponding intelligence was even more detailed. Klein even knew what the other party was involved in, so there was no problem with him being a divination target.

After thinking for a while, Klein wrote:

"Beckland Jean Martin will be threatened by Mr. A."

In this divination, which he was not sure about, he tried to make the statements as vague as possible and did not preset a definite result to avoid failure.

This time, Klein saw that the pendulum was still rotating clockwise, but at a faster speed and with a larger amplitude.

This means Mr. A will complete the mission, and there is a good chance of success... Klein exhaled slowly and began to respond to Miss Justice's request:

"Can."

"There's nothing wrong with your decision."

“Never show up on your own.”

"My follower wishes to receive 1,000 pounds of activity funds, in the same way as before, and it would be best if it can be completed tomorrow."

"This will offset the formula of the 'Prayer of Light', and you won't need to collect intelligence on the Secret Order anymore. However, if you can get additional relevant information, I will trade with you."

After knowing that the intruder was a Beyonder of the Diviner Path, Klein's need for intelligence on the Secret Order was no longer so urgent.

He originally wanted more money than 1,000 pounds, but considering that Miss Justice had to pay 10,000 pounds for the assassination of the ambassador, his financial situation would definitely become stretched, so he could only give a bottom line.

After doing all this, Klein did not linger for long and immediately returned to the real world.

…………

Audrey was holding a sheet of music, humming a melody, and the red moon was looming outside the window.

Suddenly, thick gray fog appeared in front of her eyes. A figure sat high on an ancient chair, looking down and speaking in a low voice.

After hearing Mr. Fool's response, Audrey heaved a sigh of relief and was no longer so nervous.

1,000 pounds... I’m almost done with my debt to Mr. Fool... I feel a lot more relieved... Audrey leaned the sheet music against her chest, thinking with her dimples showing.

Although her pocket money for a long time afterwards was only 1,000 pounds a month, which was very tight, she was able to squeeze out 1,000 pounds by gritting her teeth.

Borrow more from Greylint and pay in larger installments... Audrey has a good upbringing in this regard, after all, her father is a big banker behind the scenes.

…………

Around noon on Thursday, Klein heard the phantom voice of prayer again, and it was confirmed that Miss Justice had deposited the money into the anonymous account.

The bank reconciliation and settlement within Backlund can be completed on the same day. In other words, starting from Friday, Klein can withdraw the cash from every branch of Backlund Bank in the city.

After lunch, Klein met Mary Gale again. She took him to the outside of the Krag Club, where two members were waiting.

One is the famous surgeon Allen Kress, and the other is the nobleman's equestrian teacher Talim Dumont.

After greeting each other, Allen, a tall, thin, and rather cold doctor wearing gold-rimmed glasses, entered the club first, while Talim, an equestrian teacher with short brown curly hair, smiled as he walked:

"If Mary hadn't mentioned you, I wouldn't have known that Backlund had a new outstanding detective. If I need anything from you in the future, I'll look for you."

“Then I would like to thank you in advance.” Klein responded with a smile.

According to Mary's introduction in the car, he knew that Talim was originally a nobleman and his ancestors had the title of viscount. Unfortunately, his family property was squandered by his grandfather. For this reason, his father had nearly ten brothers and more than six sisters. As a land noble, when the land owned dropped below the standard line, the hereditary title would be downgraded. However, it also depended on the king's mood.

Unlike other noble children, Talim could not get a considerable amount of money to do business after he came of age. Also, due to his grandfather's reputation, he had no channels to enter the government as an employee, or to work as a butler in other noble families. He could only use his expertise to become a horse riding teacher for many nobles. His income was quite good, about four hundred pounds a year.

"Ah, divorce is such a poor thing." Talim didn't know whether he was alluding to Mary Gale's matter or thinking of his grandfather who looked more like an Intis.

Klein had no way of responding and could only follow the other party into the Krag Club and saw a spacious and bright hall.
