Lord of the Mysteries Chapter Summary 706-720

Chapter 706 – That Man

In the Golden Dream’s lively celebration, a new character emerges: Emlyn, a charming and agile gentleman with red eyes. With a sense of relief, he navigates through the crowded bar, dodging a drunkard and ordering a cup of Southville beer. His peculiar request for Aurmir red wine, the finest wine in the world, hints at his affluent background. When directed to Card Room 1, Emlyn discovers Ian, a handsome boy with red eyes, leading a tabletop adventure game inspired by Emperor Roselle’s biography.

Ian’s game intrigues Emlyn, who claims to have a mission for him. As they move to the adjacent billiard room, Emlyn reveals his pseudonym, Sherlock Moriarty, leaving Ian reassured. However, Emlyn’s concerned expression hints at a hidden agenda. Ian inquires about the detective’s whereabouts, and Emlyn discloses that he’s still on vacation in Desi Bay, sparking Ian’s worry that something might have happened to him.

As the conversation unfolds, Emlyn’s true intentions and identity remain a mystery. His refined mannerisms and Ian’s curiosity create an air of intrigue, leaving readers wondering what mission Emlyn has in store and how it will impact the Golden Dream’s crew and their quest for Groselle’s Travels’ secrets.

Chapter 707 – Danitz’s Request

Klein, disguised as Gehrman Sparrow, concludes his meeting with Vice Admiral Iceberg, exchanging words of admiration for her expertise in ancient history. As the Golden Dream docks in Bayam, Klein prepares to depart, bid farewell by the pirate crew, including Gourmet Bru Walls and Singer Orpheus. Anderson Hood awaits him, remarking on the narrow escape from becoming a public enemy, and Danitz appears, resolved to leave the Golden Dream and venture alone.

Danitz’s plans seemingly contradict Klein’s intentions, but Klein chooses to prioritize the bigger picture, letting Danitz pursue his goal of growing stronger. Anderson provides cryptic advice on becoming a Conspirer, hinting at the importance of “acting” and obtaining guidance from Captain Iceberg. Danitz departs, relieved, and Klein sets off with Anderson, navigating the familiar Resistance private harbor, where Anderson comments on the newly built road.

As they walk, Klein’s thoughts reveal his omniscient perspective, having influenced the construction of the road through the prayers of his devotees. The duo approaches a manor on the outskirts of Bayam City, where Anderson’s friend resides, leaving readers wondering about the significance of this new location and the implications of Danitz’s departure from the Golden Dream.

Chapter 708 – Revolver Worth 9,000 Pounds

Klein, still masquerading as Gehrman Sparrow, arrives at a manor on the outskirts of Bayam City, where Anderson’s friend Ukfa Connerchris resides. Ukfa showcases a mystical revolver called Death Knell, capable of reaping lives through three methods: Weakness attack, Lethal attack, and Slaughtering. Klein, intrigued, inquires about the gun’s potency against demigod dragons, and Anderson cautions that luck plays a significant role in such encounters.

Ukfa explains the negative effects of Death Knell, which can enhance an existing weakness or create a new one, lasting six hours. Despite this, Klein is willing to accept the risks, and Ukfa quotes a price of 9,000 pounds. Klein, having probed the gun’s authenticity using his spirituality and divination, agrees to the deal. As he hands over the money, he can’t help but feel a pang of sadness, realizing his savings have dwindled significantly.

With the transaction complete, Klein loads Death Knell with bullets and prepares to leave, now armed with a powerful tool that could aid him in his future endeavors. The question lingers, however, what Klein plans to do with this formidable weapon, and what consequences will arise from his acquisition of Death Knell.

Chapter 709 – Elland’s Warning

Klein, still masquerading as Gehrman Sparrow, visits the Seaweed Bar, where he’s surprised to find the patrons aware of his infamy as a crazy adventurer. He orders a beer and inquires about recent developments, learning that Admiral Amyrius Rieveldt has been transferred back to Backlund and replaced by Robert Davis, who has risen through the ranks without noble connections. Klein also hears about the Resistance’s increased activity and the governor-general’s office’s efforts to maintain order.

As Klein reflects on his plans for the Resistance, he’s interrupted by a knock on his door – it’s Just Elland, captain of the White Agate, who has somehow tracked him down. Elland’s smooth talk and friendly demeanor put Klein on guard, but he plays along, curious about the captain’s intentions.

With his plans unfolding and new players entering the scene, Klein’s next move is uncertain. Will he continue to manipulate the Resistance, or will Elland’s sudden appearance throw a wrench in his plans?

Chapter 710 – Plan

Klein, still masquerading as Gehrman Sparrow, uses the Sea God Scepter to scan the waters and track down Crazy Captain Connors’ ship. By tapping into the prayers of believers, he’s able to influence sea creatures to scout out the surrounding islands and report back to him. This strategy allows him to narrow down his search and pinpoint potential locations where the ship might be hiding.

As Klein continues to wield the Sea God Scepter, he starts to feel the strain of commanding the sea creatures and bestowing them with remnant Beyonder spirituality. His body begins to show signs of fatigue, with his skin becoming sensitive and lumpy, hinting at the risks of draining his spirituality.

Despite the physical toll, Klein persists, using the Sea God Scepter to gather more information and eventually identifying multiple ships docked at various islands. With the storm brewing outside, Klein takes a short rest, only to return to his ritual, determined to uncover the truth about Crazy Captain Connors’ whereabouts.

Chapter 711 – The Storm Attacks

Symeem Island’s dark sea waters churn as Crazy Captain Connors’ ship, the Single-eyed Skull, navigates the stormy weather. Pirates donning cloaks made of linen smeared with water-resistant Donningsman tree sap scan the deck, reminiscing about past exploits and sharing rumors of new arrivals at the Red Theater. Meanwhile, Klein, still wielding the Sea God Scepter, unleashes a lightning storm, only to have it dispelled by an unknown power at the level of a demigod.

Undeterred, Klein summons a cacophony of piercing and deep sounds, aiming to discomfort the pirates and force out the hidden demigod or Sealed Artifact. As the sounds intensify, a massive tsunami wave, almost ten meters high, surges towards the ship, threatening to engulf it. However, just as all hope seems lost, an inexplicable vortex appears, collapsing the wave and allowing the ship to ride the stormy winds, defying logic and science.

With his powers, Klein ensures the Single-eyed Skull remains within his five-nautical-mile range, buying time to uncover the truth about the ship’s mysterious abilities and occupants. His ultimate goal is to coax out the demigod or Sealed Artifact, and he’s willing to push the limits of his Sequence to achieve it. As the storm rages on, Klein’s determination fuels the chaos, and the pirates are caught in the midst of an escalating tempest.

Chapter 712 – The Loyal Alger

As the storm subsides, Danitz stands frozen in his dark room on the Golden Dream, his mind reeling from a shocking revelation. He had unknowingly received a response from the mysterious figure known as The Fool, a being of immense power, after chanting its honorific name. This unprecedented event fills him with terror, and he struggles to come to terms with the gravity of his situation.

Meanwhile, Klein awakens, exhausted from the previous night’s events. He enjoys a refreshing breakfast, reading the morning papers, which reveal a startling article about the Single-eyed Skull, Crazy Captain Connors’ ship. The pirates have infighting, killing each other, and the ship is left heavily damaged, with Connors’ body pinned to the middle mast. Klein deduces that a demigod was on board, likely of the Black Emperor pathway, and that it might have silenced Connors to eliminate evidence.

With renewed determination, Klein plans to continue his pursuit of the truth, deciding to commission Mr. Hanged Man to investigate further during the Tarot Gathering. As the mysteries deepen, the stormy night’s secrets begin to unravel, and Klein is ready to face whatever dangers lie ahead.

Chapter 713 – Three Questions

Klein stands in front of the radio transceiver, responding to Arrodes’s message, a being that had caught up to him. Arrodes addresses Klein as a “Great Master,” sensing that he’s one step closer to reclaiming his holy throne. As they exchange questions, Arrodes reveals that the potion formula for Bizarro Sorcerer can be found in Zaratul, a dark cathedral, but warns Klein to be cautious as Zaratul is a cunning being. The mirror then presents Klein with a series of scenes, including the Antigonus family’s treasure hidden at the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range, the Bell of Order, and the Church of the Evernight Goddess’s headquarters – Saint Samuel Cathedral.

The scenes reveal that the Antigonus family’s notebook, which had caused the original Klein’s death, is sealed behind Saint Samuel Cathedral’s Chanis Gate. Klein realizes that obtaining the notebook would be as challenging as facing Zaratul directly. He decides to return to Backlund first, hoping to find an opportunity to acquire the notebook, rather than venturing to the Hornacis mountain range.

As the scenes disappear, Klein regains control of his thought processes, determined to continue his pursuit of the truth. He looks at the now-dark radio transceiver, his mind racing with the new revelations and the dangers that lie ahead.

Chapter 714 – New Diary Pages

Klein has decided to return to Backlund, determined to obtain the Antigonus family’s notebook hidden behind the Chanis Gate at the Church of the Evernight Goddess’s headquarters, Saint Samuel Cathedral. He plans to create a new identity, separate from Gehrman Sparrow, to avoid drawing unwanted attention. After setting up a ritual, Klein will explore Groselle’s Travels using his Spirit Body, following the clues provided by Arrodes and Mr. Azik. Meanwhile, he’ll attend the Tarot Gathering in the afternoon, where he’ll encounter his fellow club members.

At the Tarot Gathering, Cattleya reveals that she’s obtained three pages of Emperor Roselle’s diary, which she’s eager to share with Klein. Her newfound enthusiasm and dedication to the club have not gone unnoticed, and Audrey senses that Cattleya has truly integrated into their group after being punished by Mr. Fool. However, Mr. Hanged Man’s strange behavior catches their attention, as he seems hesitant and struggling with a decision, possibly related to the Ocean Songster’s potion formula and main ingredient.

As the Tarot Gathering progresses, Klein awaits the revelation of the diary entries, hoping to uncover clues that will aid his pursuit of the truth and potentially provide an alternative to facing Zaratul directly. With his fellow club members by his side, Klein is ready to face the challenges that lie ahead, navigating the complexities of their mysterious world.

Chapter 715 – Madness in His Later Years

As Klein attends the Tarot Gathering, Mr. Hanged Man’s strange behavior catches his attention, hinting at a connection to the Ocean Songster’s potion formula and main ingredient. Meanwhile, Cattleya shares three pages of Emperor Roselle’s diary, which Klein eagerly awaits, hoping to uncover clues that will aid his pursuit of the truth. With his fellow club members by his side, Klein navigates the complexities of their mysterious world.

Klein delves into the diary entries, fascinated by the emperor’s explanation of how the Reader pathway isn’t interchangeable with the Mystery Pryer and Savant pathway. He begins to formulate theories about the rules and rationale behind the interchangeability of Beyonder pathways, connecting the dots between omnipotence and omniscience. However, his analysis is cut short as he comes across a cryptic and disturbing diary entry that leaves him reeling.

The entry, infused with a potent sense of mystery and emotions, hints at Emperor Roselle’s encounter with an unknown entity that has left him shaken. Klein’s curiosity is piqued as he wonders what the emperor saw, who influenced him, and what he means by “that encounter.” With more questions than answers, Klein returns his focus to Cattleya, ready to request her assistance in unraveling the mysteries hidden within the diary entries.

Chapter 716 – Island and Ruins

As the Tarot Club gathering continues, Mr. World’s impressive capabilities shock Fors, Derrick, and others, having obtained the Ocean Songster potion formula and main ingredient, a feat seemingly impossible for humans. Meanwhile, Audrey ponders why Mr. World isn’t searching for Emperor Roselle’s diary pages, suspecting a connection between him and Mr. Fool. Klein, as The World, focuses on the new revelation, intrigued by Alger’s offer to exchange an unknown primitive island’s coordinates for the Ocean Songster potion formula.

Alger reveals the island’s ancient ruin, hiding something extremely valuable, and Kleins senses Mr. Hanged Man’s complicated past, hinting at secrets and a connection to Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilangos. The World agrees to explore the primitive island with Alger, provided he advances first, and receives the island’s coordinates on a goatskin. As the deal is sealed, Klein ponders the demigod-level Beyonder creatures and the ancient ruin, knowing this new information will aid his pursuit of the truth.

With his attention back on Cattleya, Klein prepares to request her assistance in unraveling the mysteries hidden within Emperor Roselle’s diary entries, as the Tarot Club members continue to navigate the complexities of their mysterious world, filled with hidden connections and secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Chapter 717 – The World and Hero Bandit

As the Tarot Club gathering continues, Derrick shares details about his camp’s survival in Afternoon Town, revealing that they hunt and consume monsters to sustain themselves, despite the psychological risks. Audrey presses for more information, sparking a disturbing discussion about the consumption of vampiric creatures. The mood shifts as The World breaks the silence, announcing that Crazy Captain Connors Viktor’s Single-eyed Skull has been found, ravaged and crewless, after a storm.

Alger reveals that the Church of Storms is investigating the people and matters surrounding Crazy Captain, piquing The World’s interest. Audrey questions whether this is simply a case of pirate infighting, but The World hints at a deeper conspiracy, linking Crazy Captain to the disappearance of colonial slaves, human traffickers, and the royal family. He reveals that Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy, MI9, and Capim’s guards are connected to the case, suggesting a larger web of corruption.

As the connections between the clues unfold, the Tarot Club members begin to realize the complexity of the situation, and the true scope of the mysterious forces at play.

Chapter 718 – Characters in the Book

Klein, after preparing himself with Azik’s copper whistle and Creeping Hunger, enters the book world of Groselle’s Travels, using a tiny tube of his own blood to unlock the gateway. As he explores the seemingly ordinary city, he discovers that the residents wear attire reminiscent of the Loen Kingdom centuries ago and adapts his appearance to blend in. With his Spirit Body and abilities, he navigates the city, taking note of the public hygiene and sewage system, which is surprisingly advanced.

While exploring, Klein stumbles upon the Pessote Blacksmith Guild and encounters a giant, Groselle, who seems to be alive despite the ending of the original story. He becomes filled with questions and chooses to gather more information by entering a nearby bar, where he finds a familiar face – Mobet Zoroast, the Solomon Empire viscount. The atmosphere in the bar is lively, with patrons chatting with the bartender, and Klein’s attention is caught by the mysterious viscount.

As Klein continues to observe and gather information, he remains wary, sensing that there is more to this illusory world inside the book than meets the eye. With his abilities and experience, he is determined to unravel the secrets of Groselle’s Travels and the enigmatic forces at play.

Chapter 719 – Dream Tour

Klein gazes upon the Waning Forest, a realm of towering trees and withered leaves, where the bodies of Giant King Aurmir’s parents are buried. He discovers that Groselle, the giant guardian, has dreams that seem out of place, possibly influenced by his subconscious. This sparks an idea in Klein – to explore Groselle’s dream to gather information about the Giant King’s Court.

As Klein navigates the dream world, he approaches Groselle, who is guarding the Waning Forest, and asks about returning to the king’s court. Groselle, being an honest giant, provides directions to the Barren Tunnel, which Klein follows, leading him to a gigantic cave with a stone stele engraved with a giant’s facial features. The stele comes to life, questioning Klein about his early return to the king’s court and presenting him with a peculiar question about judging the beauty of three women.

Klein, with his quick wit, dodges the question by feigning humility and assigning the task to someone more intelligent. His clever response allows him to proceed, but not before he inwardly grudgingly admits that having Arrodes around would have made the situation more entertaining.

Chapter 720 – Philosopher

Klein explores Groselle’s subconscious, navigating a staircase that descends into darkness, where he uncovers fragmented memories of the giant’s past. He witnesses a younger Groselle panicking as a giant devours a human, and Klein’s emotions begin to spiral out of control. Suddenly, massive, rotting palms emerge from the shadows, attempting to drag Klein deeper into the mind world.

Klein quickly grasps the illusionary nature of the palms and calms himself, realizing that he lacks the Beyonder powers to safely delve deeper into Groselle’s subconscious. He decides to retreat, aware that further exploration could lead to mental corruption and loss of rationality. Klein returns to the dream world, then exits the blacksmith, contemplative about the risks and potential consequences of exploring the book world.

As Klein strolls through the book world, he ponders the nature of characters within, wondering if only the dead can revive as new characters or if those who have stayed for extended periods can replicate their subconscious. He encounters Frunziar, a familiar figure from the Church of Storms, who sits lost in thought, questioning his identity and purpose. Klein engages Frunziar in conversation, curious about the philosopher’s musings and the secrets hidden within the book world.
