  The bell ringer Cano’s expression turned a little odd when he heard the name Frank Lee:

  ”Recognize, he …… is a kind and pure man, but there are times when the purity is so pure that people feel afraid.”

  Indeed …… Klein gave way to the stairway position, while following the bell ringer down, said casually:

  ”You know him well?”

  Kano walked ahead in silence, turning his back on Germaine Sparrow after a while:

  ”I was the product of an unsuccessful endeavor, full of all sorts of problems, always ridiculed, and only Frank, one of the few of them, looked at me with normal eyes and treated me as a real human being with a soul of his own ……”

  ”Why did he leave the ‘Mother Earth’ church?” Klein, carrying his suitcase, asked knowingly.

  Kano exited the bell tower and answered as he discerned the direction forward:

  ”I don’t know the exact reason.

  ”He’s an orphan who grew up in a convent and really considers the Church to be family and the Mother Goddess to be his mother.

  ”He had a lot of strange ideas and had a chance to become a diocesan bishop, but ended up almost being sent to the trial court for blasphemy.”

  That’s something Frank said, because he wanted to cross bulls, cows and wheat …… Frankly, in my place, I’d have sent him to the trial court too …… The reason that guy didn’t have much going for him early on must have been because the sequence wasn’t high enough for him to be able to do a limited number of things …… Klein grunted a few words and followed the bell ringer, Kano, as he turned into a street that led to the alleyway at the back of St. Draco’s Church.

  Cano walked up to an ordinary house and pulled the doorbell, once for two seconds, three times in total.

  After a while, the sound of tuk-tuk-tuk approached and the door creaked open.

  Klein then saw an old man in a short black coat and a sturdy cane.

  The old man’s hair was as white as snow, his face had no visible wrinkles, and he wore a black blindfold at the eye level that obscured all vision.

  ”Mr. Councilor, Mr. Germaine Sparrow has a matter to visit you.”

  Senator Ricord? He was Congressman Ricord? He was blind? Crane was inevitably a bit taken aback at this point since he had only heard his voice before, not seen him.

  Rychod sidled his ears, slowly turned his head to where Germaine Sparrow was, and laughed:

  ”Sorry, can only see you like this, I woke up this morning, suddenly had a premonition, that is, today can not open my eyes to see anything, in order to prevent accidents, I had to wear an eye patch.”

  …… It can still be like this …… this godly wind I can not compare …… Klein was momentarily amused and stunned.

  Immediately, he understood the accurate interpretation of the other’s premonition, that is, not to look at himself!

  He remembered that the “monster” pathway of extraordinary people can see some things that others can not see, so the “Mercury Serpent” Will Onsettin can detect his own special, and when the Tingen City Admiral, will see his eyes bleed, fell to the ground in pain! The first time he saw him, Admiral Tingen’s eyes bled and he collapsed in pain.

  Senator Ricord sensed the danger and put on the blindfold …… in advance, if not, I am going to ask him what he can see …… Klein did not have a hobby of forcing others to self harm, collected his thoughts and turned to ask:

  ”Any leads on the magical items I need?”

  ”Not yet.” Councilor Ricord smiled, “I went to Bayam after I recovered from my injuries, and I was lucky enough to run into a high-level mobilization of the Navy and the Viceroy’s Office, and successfully rescued Roy King, but I also wasted a lot of time.”

  Klein had expected this and was not surprised:

  ”Then I’ll exchange this request for a favor.

  ”A friend of mine has been stricken with bad luck due to contact with a mural left behind by the ‘Angel of Fate’ and needs to be eradicated.”

  Councilor Ricord thought for a moment:

  ”No problem, just don’t let him go out if you take me there, that might be an accident.”

  Klein nodded, and as he carried his suitcase towards the entrance of the alley, he seized the opportunity to ask:

  ”Mr. Councilor, what do you know about the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’?”

  In Klein’s opinion, the School of Life and the School of Roses had quite a few conflicts in plain sight, and a deep understanding should exist between them.

  With his cane, Rychod walked slowly at the side and back, without using others to assist or guide him, as if he was actually not wearing an eye patch.

  He chuckled:

  ”The ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ is an incarnation of the ‘Bound God’ of the Rose School, though I suspect that the opposite may be true, and that the ‘Bound God’ is the one of the incarnations of the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’. My reasoning is that the Sequence 0 position of the ‘Fae’ pathway as claimed by ‘Red Light’ El Moria is still vacant, huh, you know about Sequence 0, don’t you?”

  ”Know.” Klein responded succinctly, not shilly-shallying, not even indicating that he was still aware of the Brotherhood of the Pure Light.

  Councilor Reichold let out a “hmmm”, “Anyway, no one knows the true identity of the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’, and it’s not clear which pathway K corresponds to, so maybe that’s K’s true identity. Also, I can provide some side information.

  ”The ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ and the ‘Primal Moon’ oppose each other and seem to have irreconcilable contradictions, and because of this, the Rose School is always hostile to us.

  ”However, there are times when the relationship between the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ and the ‘Primal Moon’ is subtle, and you may find it hard to imagine that there are moon worshipping ‘Witch Kings’ in the Southern Continent ‘ joining the Rose School.

  ”The Church of the Seven Gods abhors evil gods such as the ‘True Creator,’ the ‘Original Witch,’ and the ‘Dark Side of the Universe,’ but hates even more the ‘Primordial Moon’ and ‘Mother Tree of Desire.

  ”Similarly, the Aurora Society, the Witch Sect, the Blood Worship Cult, and the Mosaic Ascetic Order all dislike the Rose School.”

  That’s kind of interesting… …… The ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ is one of the two most isolated? Klein thoughtfully stopped a carriage and watched as the bell ringer, Kano, sent the “Councilor of Fate”, Rechord, up.

  He then entered the carriage and instructed the driver to proceed to an inn not far away.

  It wasn’t long before the carriage reached its destination, and Klein was about to get out when he heard a loud bang. The rumbling explosion caused the entire street to visibly tremble, and shards of glass windows on one side fell to the ground.

  It can’t be …… could it be caused by Anderson’s bad luck? Klein’s psychic intuition told him that was the case, but the unluckiest hunter didn’t seem to be dead yet.

  He looked sideways out of the wagon and saw that a large portion of the wall had collapsed on the second floor of the inn, with flames and smoke still lingering.

  At that moment, a figure was standing below with mussed blonde hair and ragged clothes, muttering:

  ”I can’t believe that there is such a bold guy, trading arms in the hotel, or a new type of explosives, almost let me die for no reason …… my suitcase ……”

  Klein looked down at the suitcase he was carrying and suddenly felt that discretion was good.

  He turned back to assist Rychod and helped the destined councilor out of the carriage.

  Anderson sensed something and smiled bitterly sideways:

  ”Weapons merchants are so unprofessional these days! Luckily it’s daytime and there’s not much rest in the inn, it’s just the poor owner who’s going to suffer a loss, but the gold they brought with them shouldn’t be that easy to destroy, it’ll make up for quite a bit.”

  I think so, your bad luck is responsible for a large part of it …… Klein nodded his head and said to Councilor Rjord:

  ”That’s him.”

  Rychod then turned his head toward Anderson, but the dark eye patch obscured all gaze.

  He paused for a few seconds and smiled slightly:

  ”Give me a gold coin.”

  ”Hmm?” Anderson suspiciously fumbled for a Lune gold coin from the inside of his clothing, then smiled at Germaine Sparrow, “It is a custom in my hometown to sew a small pocket in the innermost layer of clothing to hold a few coins. I originally didn’t believe in it, but I’ve had too much bad luck lately.”

  As he spoke, he handed the gold coin to Rychod.

  Rychod caught the gold coin and slowly closed his five fingers and brought his hand back.

  He whirled around and laughed:

  ”Well, your bad luck has been lifted.”

  ”Huh?” Anderson looked blankly and dumbfounded at Germaine Sparrow next to him, as if to say: that’s it? You didn’t get a liar, did you?

  Klein was also stunned, but chose to trust Rychod, after all, this was a Councilor of Destiny.

  Rychod put away the gold coins and laughed:

  ”It was so simple when you obtained the Doom, if you don’t believe me, you can go to the casino and try your luck.”

  ”Makes sense!” Anderson clapped his palms together and immediately pulled the pedestrians and asked where the nearest casino was.

  After a while, he returned with a clean and tidy jacket, and instinctively opened his mouth when he looked at Councilor Ricord waiting on the street.

  He suddenly froze and forced himself to shut up before grinning and thanking him.

  When the demigod was escorted to the carriage, he leaned close to Germaine Sparrow and laughed with emotion:

  ”I was going to say just now that although you are blind, you are indeed very powerful in the field of fate …… Fortunately, I remembered in time that he is a demigod.”

  If you really say so, then it is expected to be the hunter who “died on the spot because of being lifted from the jinx” …… Klein did not agree with the other party, and turned to say:

  ”You can tell me the clue to that pistol.”

  Since “Creeping Hunger” was very restrictive, he still wanted to have a more conventional offensive magical item.

  Anderson straightened his hair and grinned:

  ”In Byam.

  ”It’s a friend I used to know, a very powerful adventurer. Because he got tired of the unsettling and dangerous life, he used his savings to buy a couple of spice estates, found a nice girl to marry, and quit the business altogether.

  ”He had a child some time ago, and his mind changed again, and he began to wish to give his child a better environment and a better education and a safer situation, so he planned to move to Birkeland, where there was the best grammar school and the best public school.

  ”Oh, he didn’t want to just rent in Birkeland, and wasn’t going to sell the manor where he could make money consistently, and he happened to have a surplus of magical items on him, so he was going to sell that revolver.

  ”At that time, I was in a hurry to follow the treasure hunting group to that sea, and I don’t know if I succeeded later, but well, people who can take out nearly ten thousand pounds in one breath are very rare, and the deal isn’t that easy to make.”

  ”Well, you take me to visit him.” Klein simply responded.

  ……

  At this moment, on the “Golden Dream”, Danez realized a problem with horror:

  The captain hadn’t shown up for three days!
