After receiving recognition, "The Sun" Derrick was stunned for two seconds. The shame in his heart faded a little as he said with some embarrassment:
"I will look into this matter further."
I will work hard to make two more, no, one more friend before the next Tarot gathering… Derrick quickly set another goal in his heart.
Seeing this, Klein had "The World" Gehrman Sparrow speak in a low, hoarse voice:
"If it involves the domain of Death, you can ask me."
And I can ask Mr. Azik… he silently added in his mind.
As for Frank Lee's new mushrooms, he didn't plan to hand them over to little "The Sun" for now, because they were still half-finished, and the final "fruit" was full of toxicity and madness.
"Thank you, Mr. 'The World'." "The Sun" Derrick responded gratefully.
After exchanging other matters, the Tarot Club entered the "learning" session until the end.
Returning to the real world, Klein immediately set out to deal with the matter of that "Thief" demigod, but he found that his planned course of action ran into a problem right at the start:
He had no idea where to find Leonard Mitchell and the old man parasitizing him!
Saint Samuel Cathedral? Leonard was indeed likely in the underground there, but I can't get in… He goes to the cathedral to pray once or twice a week, and the times aren't fixed. I can't go three times a day, seven days a week, just to run into him? What kind of plot is this? Is it what they call 'waiting for Leonard by the tree stump'? Even if I did that, it might not work. As a member of the 'Red Gloves', he might have already left Backlund… Klein complained and deeply regretted that he had focused too much on rhetoric and too intently on fooling Leonard Mitchell, forgetting to ask how to contact him.
I should have said to Leonard, "I will tell Klein Moretti about the exposure of my identity, and if he has anything to say, I'll pass it on," thereby arranging a private way to contact him… Klein slowly exhaled and could only resort to the last resort:
That is, ask the "Magic Mirror"!
After drawing a symbol that blended "Spying" and "Secrecy" on paper, Klein turned his gaze to the full-length mirror and saw ripples of water on its surface, as one after another pale Loen script emerged:
"Great, almighty, honorable master, your small, humble, fearful servant Arrodes has come at your summons."
"Before answering the question, I must say:
"I was wrong! I was wrong!"
Klein raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Why are you suddenly admitting your mistake?"
On the mirror's surface, the pale Loen letters twisted and squirmed, changing into new ones:
"In short, I was just wrong…"
After a series of ellipses, the pale words trembled as they took shape:
"Recently, recently many people have been inquiring about your situation and know about the reputation of your current identity…"
So, the image of Dwayne Dantès being a philanderer who only cares about good looks has already spread, and even Miss "Justice" knows? Fortunately, my explanation is that it's a public persona; more than one blessed is playing Dwayne Dantès, and wide-ranging hobbies can be explained… Hey, look, I've scared the mirror white… Klein chuckled inwardly and then said:
"Now it's your turn to ask a question."
On the full-length mirror, those words remained pale, forming new sentences:
"Have you forgiven me?
"No, I mean, are you willing to see my future performance?"
This attitude… Klein clicked his tongue in admiration, but kept a calm expression as he said:
"Then try your best."
"Yes, great master!" On the mirror's surface, the pale words all shone with silver light. "You summoned me here to test me with a question?"
Klein nodded:
"Yes.
"Where will Leonard Mitchell be staying in the next few days?"
The silvery traces twisted quickly and formed new text:
"7 Plaister Street."
Beneath the text, the mirror's surface rippled and condensed into an image:
It was a rowhouse with the number 7, and a young man with black hair and green eyes was pulling out his keys.
Still the same old place, hasn't changed… If I go visit Leonard directly, it might damage the image of Dwayne Dantès in his mind and lower my standing… Should I send Emlyn White? After all, the poet classmate should have already found out that this vampire has a relationship with Sherlock Moriarty, i.e., Klein Moretti… The current problem is that the old man's stance is hard to judge… Without being able to determine His true purpose, giving a big gift to Him in His current state might not be appropriate and could bring great danger to Leonard… Since it doesn't involve me directly, divination above the Gray Fog might not yield effective enlightenment… Klein's thoughts fluctuated, and he had an idea to change his plan:
Rather than directly informing the old man inside Leonard about the existence of that "Thief" demigod, it would be a gentler and less risky approach to use the names of Palleis Zoroast or Amon to warn the target and make him stay away from this neighborhood!
