He wants the right to use a stone on the bracelet and Lemano's travel notes for a period of time? How did he know I had these two items? I remember I didn't mention them at the Tarot Club... After hearing the reply from Gehrman Sparrow, Fors was surprised and shocked, as if all her secrets had been seen through.
Her mind suddenly tensed up and she quickly tried to recall where she had gone wrong.
“Except for the teacher, Xio, and Mr. Fool, no one knows that I have these two items, especially Lemanno’s travel notes, which I have hardly used… Mr. Fool… Uh, Mr. World has been acting strangely at the Tarot Club. He has never submitted Emperor Roselle’s diary. He doesn’t seem to be attentive or worried about this… He has a deep connection with Mr. Fool, and has received relevant information from Him? Believer, or Follower?” Fors thought carefully for a while, vaguely grasped something, and was no longer as panicked as before.
Only then did she have the energy to consider whether the request of the “world” Gehrman Sparrow was acceptable.
To Fors, this offer was simply too cheap. It was even less than she had expected, and more reasonable!
As a Extraordinary who often stayed at home to write and rest, lending Lemanno's travel notes for a period of time would not affect her own safety and use. The bracelet that could help her travel through the spirit world and the two stones, giving one to the "world" Gehrman Sparrow would not make her completely lose her trump card.
The only problem is that Mr. World seems to be only willing to try once. If he fails, he will still ask for the reward... Well, considering the risk he needs to take, this is normal... I originally thought that I needed to do a lot of things for him and exchange the traitor's head for a reward from the teacher to repay the debt... Fors thought for a few seconds and prayed to Mr. Fool:
"...Please tell Mr. World that I accept his terms and will do my best to cooperate with his actions."
She originally wanted to remind the World Gehrman Sparrow that using the stone would result in the side effect of Full Moon Whispering, but she soon realized that only the Beyonders on the Apprentice Path could enjoy such treatment.

Regardless of success or failure, with that stone, I can quietly leave Backlund, meet up with Mr. Hanged Man, and explore that primitive island... When the time comes, I can use the stone and the magic book to record, and I won't have to worry about how to get back, unless my luck is really bad and the record fails... Klein breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and asked his personal butler Richardson to come in and help him dress.
"Sir, after breakfast, your scheduled itinerary is to go to the Kingdom Museum to see the royal collection exhibition." Richardson helped his employer put on his coat while talking about today's arrangements.
Because Dwayne Dantès's social dance steps progressed very quickly, his etiquette classes in the morning were reduced from five times a week to three times, leaving him with extra time to do other things. Such exhibitions would inevitably become a hot topic of discussion in the upper class circles, and it would be indecent not to go and see them in person.
As for going to St. Samuel's Church to listen to the bishop's sermons, Klein also consciously reduced the frequency. This was not because he had to donate dozens of pounds every time, but because he was worried that after the initial novelty period, going too frequently would arouse suspicion. Naturalness and rationality were the core elements of his plan this time.
He planned to randomly select two days out of the other six days except Sunday, relying on a longer period of time to accumulate intelligence and figure out the rules, without being anxious or impatient!
"I can't wait." Klein looked at his outstanding self in the mirror and said to his valet with a smile.
Thinking of St. Samuel's Church and the Church of Night, he naturally thought of Leonard Mitchell's secret investigation of Sherlock Moriarty, and he didn't understand what the other party was suspecting.
Was it Emlyn White's purchase of the "Fire" gloves that made Leonard decide to investigate the people around him, or was it the looming presence of the great detective in the Capin and Lanevus cases that made the red gloves in charge of the investigation aware of something? Or was it both? Klein pondered the traces he had left behind and had a rough guess.
He was not afraid that Sherlock Moriarty was wanted by the Church of Evernight and was put on a bounty list. After all, apart from contacting a few acquaintances, the great detective would not appear again. What he was worried about was that people would find out that the early Sherlock Moriarty was very similar to Klein Moretti, and thus track down the deceased former Night Watchman.
In fact, even if they are found out, it doesn’t matter. I am no longer the “clown” or “magician” I once was. There are more than one or two demigods who want to find me. Even if the church’s senior deacons are added, the problem will not change qualitatively... Moreover, Benson and Melissa are truly ordinary people. The church will definitely not involve them and will not disturb their lives... I don’t know if the pension will be taken back. It probably won’t. This cannot be explained to ordinary people... Klein thought, not worrying about the large amount of debt.
This was also the reason why he was so calm and composed last night when he heard the "Mercury Snake" Will Ausetin point out his identity as Klein Moretti.
How could a Sequence 1 angel who had come into contact with Sherlock Moriarty very early on and was good at fate-related abilities not discover where this great detective originally came from?
Even though the gray fog blocked many details, Will Ausetin was sure to know that Sherlock Moriarty belonged to Tingen.
While in Tingen, Klein had come into contact with a young man named Admisor who was a "monster" and made his eyes bleed. Once Will Ausetin, the "Snake of Fate", got hold of this information and compared the two, the answer would be clear.
If Leonard really found out Sherlock Moriarty's hidden identity, I wonder what his expression would be... Klein laughed at himself, walked out of the master bedroom, went down to the second floor, and enjoyed the breakfast carefully prepared by his own chef.

Kingdom Museum, 2 King's Road, West End.
Klein, his butler Walter, and his valet Richardson passed through the ticket gate and entered.
This exhibition was held by the Loen royal family. They brought various historically significant collections from the founding of the country to the outside world for the public to appreciate and understand, in order to enhance the kingdom's people's respect and recognition for the royal family.
As a university graduate of history, Klein was quite interested in this exhibition. Many events he was very familiar with had corresponding objects appearing here, which allowed people to immerse themselves in the long and fascinating past from another perspective.
What surprised Klein was that Butler Walter also had an in-depth understanding of most of the exhibits and introduced them to Dwayne Dantès in great detail.
As expected of someone from an aristocratic family... Klein nodded secretly.
As they walked, stopped, looked and listened, the three of them kept meeting other visitors, while the entire exhibition hall was quiet and orderly, with only whispers.
When passing by a display case, Klein noticed that butler Walter's steps suddenly paused. He glanced to the side and his expression became quite complicated.
Because he was not a "spectator," Klein could not interpret the specific meaning of the complex emotions. He could only follow Walter's gaze and look in front of the display case.
There were two people standing there, a man and a woman. The man was in his thirties, wearing a black suit, a silk hat, and a gold-studded cane. He looked like a wealthy gentleman. The woman was wearing a yellow dress and a gold necklace. Her overall outfit was rather bright.
The butler was looking at that man... Klein made a judgment in an instant and swept his eyes over the target without leaving a trace.
He found that the gentleman looked old, with dark skin from frequent exposure to the sun, the backs of his hands were like dried wood, and his fingers were extremely rough.
If you didn't look at his clothes, and someone said he was a farmer, a gardener, or a coachman, I would believe it... Klein looked away, feeling a little confused.
The reason why he noticed these details was that when he constructed the identity of Dwayne Dantes, he had carefully considered what kind of appearance an ordinary person who had been adventuring in the southern continent for a long time should have.
He believed that in addition to the eyes, temperament and innate facial features that were precipitated by rich experience, Dwayne Dantès must also have details such as skin exposed to the sun for a long time, inconspicuous scars, rough and strong hands, etc. Otherwise, it would not be enough to support the inner qualities of this character.
I have to say, from becoming the "Faceless Man" to now, I have become more and more experienced and knowledgeable about how to build a new character... If I return to Earth, even if I don't have extraordinary abilities, I still have the strong point of acting... While Klein was laughing at himself, he saw that the butler Mr. Walter had returned to his serious and serious look, as if nothing had happened.
The man with old features and rough skin pointed at the flag in the display case and said:
"This is the flag used by Count Rustin, Prince Harold Augustus, in the White Rose War. Unfortunately, he died in this war. However, his death was the turning point of the entire war. We, Loen, finally won. Look, his blood is on this flag..."
His historical knowledge is pretty good... Klein glanced at the butler Walter from the corner of his eye, thought for two seconds, smiled, approached the couple, and said in a friendly manner:
“I didn’t expect that someone would know about such an unpopular thing. I originally thought that people’s knowledge of the White Rose War was limited to the fact that Loen defeated Intis and won.
"Sir, I admire your profound knowledge."
Being praised like this in front of his female companion, the man's expression suddenly changed from guarded to relaxed, with a slightly complacent smile on his face:
“I just like learning about the historical aspects.”
He casually glanced at the gentleman's entourage in front of him, his brows suddenly frowned, then relaxed, with some doubts remaining.
As expected, he knew Butler Walter... Klein smiled calmly:
"Hello, I'm Dwayne Dantes, a businessman from Disi. What should I call you?"
The man hesitated and said:
"William Sykes, butler of a manor."
