Chapter 91 – Solution
Klein’s dreamlike state fades away, and he finds himself back in Sir Deweyville’s opulent bedroom. The philanthropist, sensing a change, asks Klein about his unorthodox methods, but Klein deftly shifts the conversation to lead poisoning and its dangers. Deweyville reveals his guilt over the working conditions in his factories, admitting to compensating workers but not installing protective equipment to minimize costs.
As the conversation unfolds, Klein expertly guides Deweyville to confront the root of his psychological illness: the guilt and trauma stemming from a worker’s death due to lead poisoning. Deweyville’s memories of the incident are foggy, but Klein’s gentle prodding helps him recall the worker’s name, Hayley Walker. Klein prescribes two remedies: finding Hayley’s parents and providing them with compensation, and spreading awareness about lead poisoning through Deweyville’s charity foundation.

As Deweyville agrees to take action, Klein senses a shift in the philanthropist’s demeanor, but the weight of the industry’s competition and potential legislation still lingers. With the sun now high in the living room, Klein stands ready to continue evaluating Deweyville’s mental state, the mystery of the haunting slowly unraveling.
Chapter 92 – Psychological Expert
Sir Deweyville and his entourage listen in awe as Klein explains the concept of mass hysteria, using a vivid example to illustrate the phenomenon. Deweyville, still processing his newfound understanding, nods in agreement and marvels at Klein’s expertise, addressing him as Inspector Moretti. With the philanthropist’s immediate troubles temporarily resolved, Klein sees him off to bed, allowing the group to bid farewell ahead of time.
As Klein and Sergeant Gate part ways, Gate commends Klein on his convincing performance, and the two exchange pleasantries. Meanwhile, at the Blackthorn Security Company, Klein briefed Captain Dunn on the case, revealing the root of Deweyville’s problems: the lead poisoning incidents in his factories. Dunn is familiar with such cases but acknowledges the complexities of this particular situation.
Dunn and Klein discuss the societal implications of industrial accidents, with Dunn expressing optimism that these issues will be addressed as the kingdom develops. With Klein feeling drained from his Spirit Vision and dream divination, they plan to celebrate his official membership at Old Will’s Restaurant the following night. However, before that, Klein has a prior engagement at the Divination Club to gauge the reaction to Hanass Vincent’s sudden death.
Chapter 93 – New Diary Page
Klein, still shrouded in fog, meets with Audrey and Alger in the majestic divine hall above the gray fog. Audrey greets him with a bow, commending his successful trial, and presents a new page from Emperor Roselle’s diary. Klein instructs them to conduct the ritual and inform him if they cannot attend the gathering on Mondays, and Audrey begins transcribing the diary’s contents.
The diary reveals Emperor Roselle’s musings on the Sequence pathways, the Blasphemy Slate, and Sealed Artifacts. Klein’s interest peaks when Roselle mentions Mr. Zaratul, the leader of the Secret Order, who possesses the Seer Sequence pathway. This connection implies the Secret Order holds the Seer Sequence, a crucial piece of information that makes Klein’s pupils constrict.
As Klein reads the diary, Audrey tries to observe him but is thwarted by the thick fog. She becomes nervous, realizing her mistake, and pretends to admire the scenery. Meanwhile, Alger Wilson remains silent, aware of his place in the presence of a powerful figure like Klein.
Chapter 94 – Hidden Sage
As Alger ponders The Fool’s words, he’s struck by Klein’s relaxed attitude, hinting at a power level close to the True Creator. Alger responds with a smile, sharing that Beyonders who believe in the Fallen Creator have a higher probability of losing control, and the rest are mostly psychopaths. Meanwhile, Klein remains silent, considering how to inquire about the Secret Order and Clown potion without revealing his true intentions.
Audrey breaks the silence, asking Alger to share information about mysterious organizations and secret cults, willing to pay for it. Alger requests a thousand pounds or gemstones, a hefty sum that could buy a house in a high-class street in Tingen City. Audrey agrees, and Alger begins to share information about the Moses Ascetic Order, an ancient hidden organization that was once respectable but has since fallen into corruption.
As Alger delves deeper into the details, Klein’s curiosity is piqued, especially when he learns about the Sequence 9, Mystery Pryer, and the concept of the Hidden Sage. He’s intrigued by the Moses Ascetic Order’s downfall, wondering what drove them to corruption. With Alger’s revelations, the fog-shrouded gathering continues, promising more secrets to be uncovered.
Chapter 95 – The Supplicant
Klein’s mind stirs as he uses his unique method to spy on the crimson blob, revealing a hazy image of a blond teenager kneeling in prayer. The teenager’s language is unfamiliar to Klein, but he discovers it has similarities to Ancient Feysac, sparking his curiosity. He listens attentively, trying to understand the language, and wonders if it might be a dialect of Ancient Feysac or even ancient Jotun, the language of the Giants.
Klein decides to observe the praying teenager further, delaying his plan to bring him above the fog. He retracts his spirituality, focusing on his evening plans. He visits the Divination Club, where he finds Angelica, the receptionist, grieving over the sudden loss of Mr. Vincent, a respected member and spiritual mentor. Klein offers his condolences and heads to the meeting room, where he finds a somber atmosphere among the members.
As Klein settles in, he uses his Spirit Vision to observe the emotions of the members, ranging from grief to dullness. The atmosphere is heavy, and Klein’s presence seems to bring a sense of normalcy to the gathering. The scene is set for more secrets to be uncovered, and Klein’s curiosity about the mysterious teenager and the Moses Ascetic Order continues to simmer in the background.
Chapter 96 – Dalys Guess
Klein recovers from his exhaustion and visits the Blackthorn Security Company, where he exchanges banter with Rozanne about their afternoon plans and the upcoming feast. Rozanne shares her encounter with Madam Daly, a renowned Spirit Medium from Awwa County, who has been transferred to the Backlund diocese. Klein meets with Captain Dunn, who reveals that Madam Daly’s unique talent in mastering and exploiting Sequence potions has accelerated her ascension to Spirit Medium.
Captain Dunn shares that Madam Daly’s method of advancing through the Sequence is unprecedented, as she was able to bypass the typical three-year waiting period and strict examination. Klein senses that Madam Daly’s rapid advancement is linked to her ability to manipulate Sequence potions. Captain Dunn also discusses Madam Daly’s hypothesis that some Sequence pathways may have an alternate relationship, where low to mid-Sequence potions provide seemingly unrelated abilities that combine to form an abnormally powerful “job” at a point of qualitative change.
As Klein probes Captain Dunn about Madam Daly’s method and the potential connection between Seer and Clown, he becomes increasingly intrigued. Captain Dunn’s revelations only fuel Klein’s curiosity, and he wonders what secrets lie hidden in the world of Beyonders, waiting to be uncovered.
Chapter 97 – Combat Teacher
Klein visits his combat instructor, Mr. Gawain, a former knight, at his humble abode on the outskirts of the North Borough. Leonard Mitchell, the poetic Nighthawk, accompanies him and shares a glimpse into Mr. Gawain’s past, highlighting the decline of knights with the advent of advanced weaponry. As they enter the house, Klein meets the weathered Mr. Gawain, who initially seems hesitant to teach combat techniques, instead advocating for the use of guns.
Klein showcases his novice combat skills, throwing a punch and kicking, prompting Mr. Gawain to assess his foundation and recommend an intensive training schedule. The instructor emphasizes the importance of strength training, assigning Klein a rigorous regimen of exercises. As Klein struggles to adapt, Mr. Gawain’s tough, no-nonsense demeanor leaves him feeling like he’s back in military training.
Later, at the Old Will Restaurant, Klein joins the Blackthorn Security Company for dinner, where he’s welcomed as the newest official member. Despite the lavish feast before him, Klein’s appetite is dampened by the exhaustion from his afternoon training. Captain Dunn raises a toast, but Klein’s mind lingers on the challenges he’s yet to face in his new role.
Chapter 98 – Mr. Azik
Klein awkwardly explains his sore muscles to his sister Melissa, revealing his secret combat training with Mr. Gawain. Melissa is surprised, not only by Klein’s decision to train but also by his justification that a historical and relic consultant should be physically capable. Their banter showcases Klein’s wit, but his pretentiousness is also apparent.
After struggling to move due to his soreness, Klein finally sets off to meet his mentor, Cohen Quentin, at Khoy University. However, he’s surprised to find Azik, Cohen’s friend and academic, waiting for him instead. Azik reveals that Cohen had a last-minute meeting and asked him to wait for Klein. As they discuss the book “Research of the Hornacis Main Peak’s Relics,” Azik notices Klein’s increased energy and gentlemanly demeanor.
Klein settles in to read the monograph, excited to dive into the research. The atmosphere shifts as he becomes engrossed in the book, and a cup of rich coffee appears beside him, hinting at Azik’s Thoughtful nature. The chapter leaves readers wondering about Cohen’s whereabouts, the significance of the book, and what new developments await Klein in his adventure.
Chapter 99 – Red Chimney
Klein returns home, determined to uncover the truth behind the peculiar events surrounding Elliott’s kidnapping, Ray Bieber’s stay, and Selena’s magic mirror divination incident. Using his skills as a Seer, he designs divination statements to eliminate vagueness, but the results persistently indicate normalcy, leaving Klein wondering if he’s overthinking things. However, he remains cautious, suspecting that Azik, his mentor Cohen’s friend, might be hiding something.
Klein uses the dream divination technique to further investigate, but the results align with logic, and the coincidences seem to be just that – coincidences. Despite this, Klein’s intuition tells him that Azik is not just a divination enthusiast, but someone trustworthy who might have stumbled upon insider information. He recalls Azik’s dependable nature and the lack of divination-related memories in his original persona.
Undeterred, Klein decides to change his environment to a more mysterious place, the ancient divine hall above the gray fog, to perform the divination again. With his silver dagger and spirituality, he seals off the room and prepares to uncover the truth, reciting the divination statement seven times and interacting with the spiritual world. The pendulum’s response will determine the next step in his investigation.
Chapter 100 – Interpreting Symbols
Klein’s dream divination in the ancient divine hall yields a series of vivid, blurred scenes that seem unrelated to the Clown potion he’s searching for. He witnesses Ray Bieber’s hiding place, the remains of the suited clown, and a grayish-white warehouse with human remains. The scene shifts to Welch’s living room, where Klein recognizes the Antigonus family’s notebook, a mysterious artifact connected to a string of incidents.
As Klein analyzes the dream, he pieces together connections between the scenes: Hanass Vincent, a fortune-teller from the Divination Club, sold the notebook to Welch. This revelation raises questions about Hanass Vincent’s involvement in mysticism and his suspicious death. Klein suspects that Hanass Vincent’s research on the notebook could have provided crucial clues, but his passing leaves only one remaining witness: a mysterious man in his fifties.
Klein’s determination to uncover the truth grows as he realizes that every scene, except for the suited clown’s brand, is directly related to the Antigonus family’s notebook. The divination, meant to uncover clues about the Clown potion, has instead led him down a new path of investigation, filled with mysteries and unanswered questions.
Chapter 101 – Unexpected Clue
Klein visits the Divination Club, dressed in his new combat attire, seeking answers about Hanass Vincent’s death. He shows Angelica, the beautiful attendant, a portrait of the mysterious man from his dream, and she recognizes the man from a month ago, describing him as having grayish-blue eyes and messy eyebrows. Klein learns that the man had a rare conversation with Hanass Vincent, sparking his curiosity about their connection.
As Klein converses with Angelica, he realizes that his Spirit Vision has become clearer, allowing him to faintly see the details within her aura. He attributes this sudden improvement to his Seer potion, which seems to be digesting with promising signs. Klein reflects on his past experiences and narrows down the essence of the ‘acting’ technique, understanding that maintaining respect and fear towards fate is crucial for a Seer.
With newfound determination, Klein thanks the suited clown’s lesson and bids farewell to Angelica, ready to embark on the next phase of his plan. The mysterious man’s identity remains unknown, but Klein is undeterred, driven by his growing confidence in his abilities as a Seer.
Chapter 102 – Cloth Merchant
Klein’s thoughts are consumed by the mysterious man from his dream, and he’s convinced that the individual borrowed rare journal issues from the Deweyville Library, sparking his curiosity about their connection. While pondering this at the Evil Dragon Bar, Klein discreetly inquires about the man’s identity, but to no avail. He learns that the man had accompanied Hanass Vincent, a famous fortune-teller, at the bar, but Swain, the boss, doesn’t recall his name.
Klein plans to investigate the Deweyville Library, hoping to uncover clues about the mysterious man’s identity. Before doing so, he decides to complete his purchases, aware that he might need ritualistic magic in the future. At the underground market, he encounters Ademisaul, a monster who can smell death, but their interaction is brief and peculiar.
With his shopping done, Klein takes stock of his remaining money and the various items he’s collected, including Amantha, drago tree bark, slumber flowers, chamomile petals, and Holy Night Powder. As he prepares for the next phase of his plan, Klein’s confidence in his abilities as a Seer continues to grow, and he’s more determined than ever to uncover the truth about the mysterious man and Hanass Vincent’s death.
Chapter 103 – Doing As the Heart Willed
As Klein ponders the mysterious man’s connection to Hanass Vincent, he starts to piece together the clues, realizing that Welch’s acquaintance with Hanass might be through Sirius Arapis, a cloth merchant residing on Howes Street. Klein suspects that Sirius introduced Hanass to Welch, who was interested in buying ancient books. This possibility makes Klein wonder if Hanass was part of a secret organization, and his research at the Deweyville Library might be connected to the True Creator.
Klein reviews the borrowing records, noticing the man’s unusual behavior, which suggests he might be aware of Hanass’ death. He concludes that the man might be lying low, waiting for the right moment to act. With this new information, Klein decides to hand the case over to Captain and his teammates, rather than pursuing it solo, and prepares to divine the target’s whereabouts.
Just as Klein is about to leave the library, he spots the man he’s been searching for, Sirius Arapis, entering the library. Despite his initial instinct to apprehend him, Klein prioritizes his safety and decides to act as if he hadn’t seen him, choosing to follow up on the lead later. The librarian, however, recognizes Sirius and becomes frantic, shouting for an officer, leaving Klein wondering what will happen next.
Chapter 104 – Mr. Z
Klein searches the mysterious man’s belongings, finding a bloodstained wallet, library card, and letters that reveal shocking information. The letters, written by Sirius Arapis, detail his dealings with Hanass Vincent, including the sale of the Antigonus family’s notebook to Welch. Sirius claims the notebook showed different contents to different people, and they sold it to avoid the risk of being tracked by the Secret Order, which also possesses the Seer pathway.
The letters also reveal that Hanass died of a heart attack, and Sirius is now in hiding, planning to research more at the Deweyville Library. Klein is stunned by the revelation that the Antigonus family had the Seer pathway, which connects to his own fate as a Seer. The connections between the Antigonus family, the Secret Order, and the Zaratul family’s pursuit of the Seer Sequence begin to unravel, leaving Klein determined to verify the information.
As Klein paces, he realizes the Secret Order’s pursuit of the Antigonus family’s belongings might be driven by a desire to bridge missing Sequences or gain rare ingredients. The web of connections deepens, and Klein is left wondering what lies behind the mysterious events unfolding around him.
Chapter 105 – Spirit Channeling
Klein sets up a ritual using Holy Night Powder, Amantha pure dew, and other liquids to connect with Sirius’s remnant spirituality. He recites Hermes incantations, and a massive, terrifying energy descends upon him, allowing him to enter a dreamlike state. In this state, Klein sees a transparent, ethereal figure of Sirius, who writes down the formula for the Clown potion.
The formula includes ingredients like pure water, tornapple juice, and human-faced rose, as well as supernatural ingredients like a crystal from a matured Hornacis gray mountain goat and a complete stalk of human-faced rose. Sirius is revealed to be a member of the Aurora Order, a secret organization that worships the True Creator, symbolized by the Hanged Giant. Klein discovers that Sirius and Hanass were both members of this order, contradicting his previous understanding of Hanass’s dream.
As Klein exits the ritual, he feels a sharp pain in his head, and his spirituality is weakened. He recovers quickly due to his progress in ‘digesting’ the magic medicine. With this new information, Klein is left wondering about the connections between the Aurora Order, the Antigonus family, and the Zaratul family’s pursuit of the Seer Sequence.
