Received a letter? Didn't he say there was something going on at home? Walter's family lived right in Backlund; if something really happened, wouldn't taking a public or rental coach be faster than mailing a letter? With his income and land in the countryside, he could definitely afford it… Klein nodded as if just asking casually, and didn't speak further.
He slowly walked back to his armchair, sat down, picked up a newspaper, and began reading quite seriously.
Seeing this, Richardson didn't say anything more; he quietly backed out of the room and silently closed the wooden door.
When the slight click sounded, Klein moved his gaze from the newspaper, looked at the door, and thought to himself:
I've discovered another good point of Richardson: he likes to observe his surroundings and can notice valuable information. That time before when Bishop Electra came to visit Councilman Mori Marche, it was Richardson who first spotted it from the balcony...
But this is different from being a Spectator; the focus is on events, not details...
Walter's situation is a bit abnormal. Could this be the extra development that the "Magic Mirror" Arodes mentioned?
Regardless, I'll do a divination first, to avoid unknowingly being in danger...
With that in mind, Klein immediately entered the room's bathroom, took four steps counterclockwise, and arrived above the Gray Fog. Whenever he existed as Mr. Fool, the core beneath the Gray Fog was always the form of Klein Moretti, not overlapping with images like Sherlock Moriarty, Gehrman Sparrow, Dwayne Dantès, etc.
Because he lacked necessary information, he could only divine about his own safety, so he didn't use the "dream method"; he directly removed the pendulum from his wrist and wrote the corresponding divination statement:
"Walter's anomaly will bring danger to me."
Holding it in his left hand, he closed his eyes, entered a meditative state, and whispered the words he had just written.
After a full seven repetitions, he opened his eyes and looked at the silver chain; the citrine pendant was rotating counterclockwise, at a normal amplitude and speed.
This meant that Walter's anomaly would not bring him danger.
But it only explained that one issue. Perhaps I'll encounter trouble without danger... Alternatively, there is also the possibility that danger depends on whether a correct choice is made. If I rashly get involved, what is not dangerous could become dangerous... Klein interpreted based on his rich experience.
He had just set aside this matter when he suddenly saw the crimson star symbolizing "The Hermit" glow and expand and contract.
Could it be that the "Balance of Fortune" payment is coming? Klein rejoiced inwardly and immediately extended his spirituality.
Upon contact, he was disappointed, because the "Star Admiral" Cattleya was only asking Mr. Fool to convey her words to "The Hanged Man," with no mention of when the transaction with "The World" would be completed.
"There's an Obnis Sea Monster in the 'Abyssal Vortex' due north of Sonia Island? Brother 'The Hanged Man' is quite lucky; at least he doesn't have to enter the God War Ruins like me... Of course, Obnis Sea Monster is also dangerous; using it to perform a ritual is no simple matter. 'The Hanged Man' might even need to ask for the 'Sea God's' help...
"Lady 'The Hermit''s request is actually to help find a direct descendant of the Abraham family... This shows that the 'Mystery Queen' is quite aware of Mr. Door's origin... Did the Emperor tell her?" Klein connected these thoughts from the "Star Admiral" Cattleya's words and at the same time tossed the corresponding image into the crimson star representing "The Hanged Man."
At this time, Alger Wilson had just finished his debriefing, passed the assessment, and reboarded the "Blue Avenger."
Seeing the boundless gray fog and hearing "The Hermit"'s words, he outwardly showed no reaction as he walked toward the captain's cabin, his stride and pace consistent with usual.
Entering the room and closing the door, he went to the liquor cabinet, took a bottle of "Liangqi," which pirates loved most, flipped open a beer mug, and poured half a glass directly.
Alger then picked up the glass, brought it to his mouth, and gulped it down in big mouthfuls, as if it were water instead of liquor.
Throughout this process, his eyes were half-closed, as if immersed in his own world.
After finishing that half glass of "Liangqi," Alger set down the glass, wiped his mouth, and chuckled:
"Direct descendant of the Abraham family? This is extremely difficult for others; there are almost no leads. But I can ask Miss 'The Magician'; her teacher is... Haha, the 'Star Admiral' doesn't know about this yet."
He quickly suppressed his emotions, paced back and forth a few steps, and ultimately decided to abandon his earlier idea and straightforwardly respond to "The Hermit" Cattleya's request.
"The 'Star Admiral' won't just ask me for help. At next week's Tarot Club, she's likely to issue this task to all members, and others also know that Miss 'The Magician''s teacher is from the Abraham family... There's no need to lie about something so easily exposed; I can't ruin multiple possible future transactions for a little immediate gain... Sometimes, honesty is the cheapest way..." Alger stopped, respectfully lowered his head, and chanted the honorable name of Mr. Fool:
"...Please convey to Lady 'The Hermit' that regarding clues about a direct descendant of the Abraham family, she can directly ask Miss 'The Magician'..."
After finishing the request for the "Star Admiral" to change her demands, Alger proactively mentioned his experience on the "Blood Moon Night" and asked Mr. Fool whether the resonance with the "Ocean Singer" Beyonder characteristic was from the "Book of Calamity," and whether the woman holding a golden goblet inside the coral palace in his dream was Gossinam.
