Lord of the Mysteries Chapter Summary 751-765

Chapter 751 – Loen-styled Euphemism

Leonard Mitchell, a Nighthawk, sits in his dimly lit room, his spirit entering a gray, hazy world as he transforms into a Nightmare. He flies to 17 Minsk Street, searching for information about Sherlock Moriarty, and politely rings the doorbell at Stelyn Sammer’s residence. Dressed in her nightgown, Stelyn answers, and Leonard, disguised as a police officer, inquires about Sherlock Moriarty, manipulating her dream to reveal details about the mysterious detective.

As Leonard digs deeper, he discovers that Sherlock Moriarty rented a place from Stelyn, is a capable detective from Midseashire, and has connections with the Quelaag Club. However, Leonard’s patience wears thin as Stelyn drones on, failing to reveal any new information. He decides to investigate the Quelaag Club members with ties to Sherlock Moriarty.

Meanwhile, Klein, as Dwayne Dantès, attends a high-society gathering, effortlessly dancing with his etiquette teacher, Wahana Heisen, a charming and well-educated lady from a baron’s family. As they twirl across the ballroom, Klein impresses Wahana with his quick grasp of the dance steps, maintaining his facade as a wealthy and devout member of society.

Chapter 752 – Warning

Klein sits in his sunny study, surrounded by bookshelves, reading newspapers that advertise the sale of 10% of the Backlund Bike Company’s shares. As he reads, his spiritual perception is triggered, and he activates his Spirit Vision to see Reinette Tinekerr emerge from the void, carrying four blonde, red-eyed heads. One of the heads holds a letter from Sharron, indicating she has no intention of buying the Biological Poison Bottle, but might consider it in the future.

Klein remains puzzled by Sharron’s financial situation, wondering if she’s saving up for something important. After burning the letter, he heads to the cathedral, where he encounters Leonard Mitchell, a Nighthawk, who’s observing him. Klein senses Leonard’s gaze and becomes cautious, realizing that Leonard’s angelic connection might allow him to sense the gray fog’s influence on him.

As Klein maintains his praying posture, trying to remain calm, he throws 50 pounds into the donation box and exchanges pleasantries with the bishop and priest. Outside, he feeds the pigeons, all the while keeping a watchful eye out for any potential danger lurking around him. The atmosphere remains tense, filled with underlying tension and anticipation.

Chapter 753 – Bishop Visits

Klein struggles to keep up with his philosophy lesson, filled with concepts like skepticism and metaphysics, but is relieved to find his teacher, Mr. Hamid, to be humorous and engaging. After class, he returns to his mansion, where his servants are busy with their duties, and meets with Butler Walter, who is hanging double-barreled hunting rifles on the wall as a decoration and means of defense.

As Klein chats with Walter, he learns about the butler’s family and inquires about Ma’am Taneja’s marital status, prompting Walter to discuss the challenges faced by female servants in modern society. Klein then turns his attention to a newspaper advertisement for the sale of Backlund Bike Company shares, expressing interest in the industry and asking Walter to find a lawyer and accountant to investigate the opportunity.

As Klein ponders the potential purchase, he’s aware of the need to maintain his tycoon persona and balance his interests with caution, knowing that he mustn’t be too greedy and risk losing liquidity. His mind is already racing with strategies and possibilities, setting the stage for further intrigue and calculation in the world of Loen’s high society.

Chapter 754 – Invitation

Klein navigates a conversation with Bishop Elektra, skillfully weaving in his fabricated backstory as Dwayne Dantès, sharing a sorrowful tale of his father’s passing and expressing interest in the upcoming Moon Mass. This gives him the perfect excuse to interact with the cathedral’s bishops and priests, as he subtly builds his tycoon persona.

As he converses with Maury Macht and his wife Riana, Klein cleverly drops hints about his hunting experiences in West Balam, using Anderson’s stories as a blueprint to create a convincing narrative. Riana and the others are captivated by his tales of the primitive forest, and Klein’s calculated responses deepen his connections with the influential guests.

After seeing off his guests, Klein ponders the progress he’s made, satisfied with having established connections with Bishop Elektra and Maury Macht. He turns his attention to the potential purchase of Backlund Bike Company shares, weighing his options as Butler Walter provides an update on the situation, revealing a current bid of 8,000 pounds.

Chapter 755 – “Switchboard Receptionist”

Klein receives a letter from Butler Walter, sparking his curiosity about the potential danger that might be lurking. He divines the situation, only to find that Walter’s abnormality won’t bring him direct danger. However, Klein remains cautious, aware that his choices could still lead to trouble.

Meanwhile, The Hermit, Cattleya, reaches out to Klein with a message for The Hanged Man, Alger Wilson. The request is to help find the direct descendants of the Abraham family, hinting at Queen Mystic’s knowledge of Mr. Door’s origins. Alger, now back on the Blue Avenger, receives the message and decides to respond honestly, suggesting that Cattleya ask Miss Magician, whose teacher is a member of the Abraham family, for clues.

As Klein continues to navigate the complex web of relationships and mysteries, he awaits further developments and opportunities to advance his tycoon persona. The chapter ends with Alger inquiring about the item that resonated with the Ocean Songster’s Beyonder characteristic and the identity of the woman holding the golden cup in the coral palace, setting the stage for further intrigue and discoveries.

Chapter 756 – Grand Mass

Klein steps into the prayer hall, surrounded by the dark and serene atmosphere, as the uniform and ethereal chanting of the Moon Mass begins. The holy voices echo, quieting the frustrations of the believers, as they receive the loving grace of Evernight in the form of bread and water. As the ceremony progresses, candles lighting up like stars in the night sky, Klein feels his Soul Body being cleansed, his spirituality flowing out in comfort.

In the midst of the tranquil darkness, Klein’s eyes fall upon a peaceful scene: Dunn Smith, Old Neil, and Kenley resting amidst moon flowers, their faces calm and serene, as if they weren’t dead but merely sleeping. The ethereal voice whispers in his ear, urging him to repeat the silent prayer, “The only escape is tranquility!” As the prayer hall reaches an extreme silence, Klein opens his eyes to find the believers, including Richardson, covered in tears, their grief relieved.

The Moon Mass, it seems, is a ritual with Beyonder powers involved, allowing people to see the deceased they share deep relationships with, and relieve their grief. Klein makes a mental note, recognizing the significant enhancement in spirit control for Sequence 5 Beyonders of the Evernight pathway. As he reflects on the darkness and the deceased amidst the moon flowers, he wonders if this is a manifestation of the Goddess’s divine kingdom, and what the source of danger in the night time inside the battle of the gods ruin corresponds to.

Chapter 757 – Dream Encounter

Klein lies in bed, his senses on high alert as he detects an intruder in the compound. He secretly holds Death Knell, preparing to activate Creeping Hunger, and thoughts flash through his mind – the Rose School of Thought, criminals targeting him due to his donations, or perhaps the Nighthawks’ routine investigations. He hears a soft noise coming from the balcony, and footsteps pass through the half-open room and into the corridor, eventually leading to Richardson’s room.

Senor, the Wraith marionette, reveals the intruder’s identity – a person with orange-yellow skin, raven-black hair, and soft facial features, likely from the Southern Continent. They seem skilled and agile, possibly a friend or relative of Richardson’s. Klein observes the scene, wondering what matter requires Richardson’s help, and suspects that his valet is afraid of being found.

Meanwhile, Leonard Mitchell continues his search for Ince Zangwill, investigating the people surrounding Sherlock Moriarty. He enters Dr. Aaron Ceres’s dream, learning about the doctor’s connection to the detective and the Quelaag Club. As Leonard delves deeper, he becomes suspicious of Sherlock’s true nature and whereabouts, wondering if he’ll ever return to Backlund.

Chapter 758 – Efforts Will Ultimately Pay Off

Klein returns to his mansion, where Butler Walter informs him about the investigation into Ma’am Wahana’s husband’s stolen goods. The police are unlikely to prioritize the case, so Walter suggests utilizing his connections with high-ranking police officers. However, Klein decides to take a different approach, offering a 200-pound reward to bounty hunters in the Backlund Bridge area and East Borough to retrieve the stolen cloth or capture the cheats.

Walter is surprised by the generosity, but Klein instructs him to keep the reward a secret from Ma’am Wahana. Meanwhile, in a pub on Dharavi Street, Xio, a bounty hunter, learns about the mission and is astonished by the handsome reward. She takes on the task, knowing it could significantly improve her financial situation and bring her closer to obtaining the Interrogator potion formula.

As Xio begins her investigation, she becomes aware that other bounty hunters are also taking on the mission, with some even considering offering their services as bodyguards to Klein in hopes of gaining his favor. The stage is set for a thrilling hunt, with multiple parties vying for the reward and uncovering the truth behind the stolen goods.

Chapter 759 – First Dance

Klein arrives at Member of Parliament Macht’s house, bringing a bottle of Southville red wine as a gift, and is greeted by Macht and his wife Riana. As he enters the ball, he takes note of the etiquette and customs of Loen’s high society, having been previously instructed by Ma’am Wahana.

Upon meeting Macht’s daughter, Hazel, Klein’s eyes widen in surprise as he recognizes her from a vision he saw in the magic mirror. Hazel is a Beyonder with a mystical item related to a Fire Bandit, and Klein is filled with questions about her powers and her mysterious presence in the sewers. However, he maintains his composure and exchanges polite conversation with her. As he mingles with Macht and other guests, Klein’s eyes remain fixed on Hazel, determined to uncover more about her and her abilities.

As the night wears on, Klein continues to observe Hazel, searching for any hints about her connection to the gray fog, while also navigating the complexities of Loen’s high society balls. Meanwhile, Xio, the bounty hunter, is hot on the trail of the stolen goods, unaware of the intriguing web of secrets and powers unfolding at the Macht residence.

Chapter 760 – What a Small Circle

As Klein navigates the complexities of Loen’s high society ball, he continues to observe Hazel, searching for hints about her connection to the gray fog. Their dance is punctuated by conversations about Beyonders, demigods, and mysterious legends, including Death’s Key, which piques Hazel’s interest. Klein skillfully steers the conversation, using his knowledge of the mysterious world to keep her engaged, and they part ways as the dance ends.

Meanwhile, Klein’s attention turns to the lavish spread of food, where he encounters Ma’am Mary Schott, the executive director of Coim Company, a company that has rapidly expanded its business in anthracite and high-quality coal. Klein reveals his interest in investing in the company, which sparks Mary’s pride in her accomplishment. The exchanges are laced with subtle hints at Klein’s true nature and the mysterious forces at play.

As the night wears on, Klein’s interactions with Hazel and Mary reveal more about the mysterious world beyond the ball, and the threads of their conversations weave together to create a tapestry of intrigue and deception. Will Klein uncover more about Hazel’s powers and her mysterious presence in the sewers, and what secrets lie hidden beneath the surface of Loen’s high society?

Chapter 761 – Good People and Good Deeds

Klein’s high alertness is triggered as he witnesses Hazel Macht hastily departing from the staircase, but he soon calms down, reasoning that she’s in control and has the situation under wraps. He speculates that Hazel might be dealing with the negative effects of a mystical item, possibly related to the gray fog. As he continues to mingle at the ball, he encounters his etiquette teacher, Wahana Heisen, who remarks on his mysterious past, which she finds intriguing.

Meanwhile, Klein’s attention remains focused on Hazel, wondering which of her accessories might be the mystical item in question. He later notices her descending the staircase, seemingly unruffled, which confirms his suspicions about the item’s negative effects. As the ball comes to a close, Klein exchanges name cards and bids farewell, while Ma’am Riana and Hazel engage in a conversation about his performance, with Hazel remarking on his knowledge and maturity.

In the shadows, Klein’s thoughts continue to revolve around Hazel and the mysterious forces at play, as Ma’am Riana worries about her daughter’s potential interest in him. The chapter concludes with Hazel’s enigmatic statement about preferring powerful men, leaving the reader curious about the secrets she might be hiding, and the true nature of her relationship with Klein.

Chapter 762 – Nation Reestablishment Society

Walter, the butler, responds to a mysterious doorbell ring by awakening servants and stationing them with hunting rifles to patrol the main building, awaiting potential intruders. Meanwhile, beneath the sewers, Klein’s marionette, Wraith Senor, encounters an infiltrator, Godotpos, who possesses herbal powders related to the Death domain, indicating he’s a Beyonder from the Corpse Collector pathway. Senor sets up a ritual to pray to The Fool, allowing Klein to communicate with Godotpos’s spirit, revealing his affiliation with the Black Skeleton Gang and his mission to infiltrate Earl Wolf’s household.

As Klein continues to interrogate Godotpos’s spirit, he uncovers the gang’s intentions to obtain a mask related to Death, their connection to the Balam Nation Reestablishment Society, and their violent past. Godotpos also reveals his personal history with Richardson, whom he met as slaves in East Balam, and how Richardson’s faith in Death was erased by his new life in Backlund. Klein discovers the Eternal Life Society, a branch of the Numinous Episcopate, is involved in the mysterious events unfolding.

With Senor’s help, Klein extracts valuable information from Godotpos, exposing the dark underbelly of the Black Skeleton Gang and their actions. As the chapter concludes, Klein waits before allowing Wraith Senor to re-enter Godotpos’s body, returning him to the shadows, leaving the reader curious about the consequences of this confrontation and the secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Chapter 763 – Mr. X

As Klein savors his buttered toast, his butler Walter informs him about a mysterious doorbell ring the previous night, prompting Klein to nod in agreement to reinforce the night patrols on the street. Meanwhile, at Member of Parliament Macht’s house, Hazel discusses the same doorbell incident with her mother Riana, showing curiosity and puzzlement at the lack of suspects.

Klein’s focus shifts to his recent windfall, as he gazes upon the 4,000 pounds of gold coins from Admiral of Stars Cattleya for the Scales of Luck. He adds the 13 Loen gold coins from Senor to the pile before summoning Reinette Tinekerr to collect the first installment. The mysterious messenger conjures a vortex to suck up the gold coins, leaving Klein with 8,156 pounds and 5 Loen gold coins.

As the fog settles over the streets, Klein reflects on his newfound wealth, musing about potential investment opportunities and the importance of keeping his newfound fortune under wraps. The night grows darker in the East Borough, where the scarce street lamps cast an eerie atmosphere, hinting at the presence of unknown dangers lurking in the shadows.

Chapter 764 – First Investigation

Klein returns to Böklund Street in a four-wheeled carriage, sipping from a white porcelain cup with gold rims, as he reflects on his newfound wealth and hears the stacked illusory pleas. Beside him, Richardson expresses gratitude for the opportunity to grow and learn from Klein, hoping to become a butler one day. As they arrive, Klein heads to the bathroom to prepare for his bath, where he takes a moment to respond to the mysterious prayers in the gray fog.

Above the gray fog, Klein learns that Miss Magician is still searching for information on Mr. X, and he advises her to gather intel quickly, as prolonged absence or constant room isolation would be suspicious. Fors promises to try, but the location and timing of Mr. X’s next gathering remain unknown. Back in the real world, Klein relaxes in his warm bath, feeling his fatigue wash away, and begins to worry about the impending Nighthawk investigation into his activities at Saint Samuel Cathedral.

Meanwhile, in the cathedral’s basement, Leonard converses with Daly Simone, who congratulates him on becoming a Soul Assurer. Their conversation hints at Daly’s darkness and troubled past, as well as her eagerness to advance to Gatekeeper, awaiting the necessary “contributions” to do so.

Chapter 765 – Monday Again

Klein watches as Albert, a Nighthawk, uses his Nightmare powers to influence Dwayne Dantès, making him have a vague recollection of their conversation. Klein reflects on the Nighthawks’ over-reliance on Nightmare powers and how he would design a more thorough investigation. Meanwhile, in the basement of Saint Samuel Cathedral, Leonard heaves a sigh of relief after Albert wakes up normally, still fearful of the undying monster from the Fourth Epoch.

In the City of Silver, Derrick Berg prepares to advance his Beyonder abilities, having obtained the potion formula and the corresponding ingredients. He heads to the twin towers, where he encounters Elder Shepherd Lovia, who seems to gaze into his soul. Derrick, having learned from the Tarot Club, nods in response without showing any signs of abnormality.

Danitz, an envoy of the Golden Dream, returns to the ship, having led a comfortable life in Bayam. He realizes that the conflict in Bayam will eventually escalate and decides to sell most of his properties, investing in Trier, Backlund, and peaceful villages. He looks forward to visiting his family in Elema Town, as the chapter ends with Danitz reporting to Captain and Jodeson’s response.
