Lord of Mysteries: S Chapter 203: Information and Clown

Chapter 203 - Information and Clown

On Tuesday morning, Klein thought about how he should reveal the "acting thod" to the Captain more naturally as he walked into the Blackthorn Security Company.

"Good morning, Klein!" The clerk at the front desk, Rozanne, greeted him with a bright smile. Then, she blinked her light brown eyes and whispered mysteriously,

"You know what? There's sothing wrong with Captain today."

Upon hearing this, Klein imdiately beca alert. Ever since the incident with Witch Trissy, the Captain's mind seed to have returned to its previous state. He often forgot so things, so he was extrely sensitive to the "abnormality" that Rozanne ntioned. He imdiately lowered his voice and asked solemnly, "What happened?"

Rozanne was shocked by his attitude and hurriedly waved her hand. "It's not what you think... Actually, I think Captain encountered sothing good."

"Sothing good? What happened?" Klein was sowhat dumbfounded as he asked in puzzlent.

"Yes, when I went to deliver today's newspaper, I saw Captain in a daze. From ti to ti, he would reveal a smile that was so gentle that it could drown soone... I called out to him twice before he answered ." Rozanne's eyes lit up as she nodded.

This... Could it be that Madam Daly has confessed to Captain again? Could it be that Captain didn't back down this ti... Then, do I still need to tell him about the acting thod?

As his thoughts ran wild, Klein walked to the partition and knocked on the Captain's office door.

One, two, three...

After more than ten knocks, Dunn's deep voice sounded from the partition.

"Please co in."

However, at that mont, Klein felt uneasy. He first put down the spirit pendulum and divined if there was any danger before pushing the door open and entering. Then, he saw the Captain instinctively sit up straight, making his gray eyes turn deep as though he was trying his best to remain calm...

This looks like I was secretly playing with my phone in my dorm when I was in school. When I saw the teacher checking on my room, I quickly hid my phone and sat properly...

After lampooning inwardly, Klein cleared his throat and sat down with his hat and cane. "Captain, I have sothing to report."

"What is it?" Dunn clasped his hands together and asked in a deep voice.

Klein looked at the serious Dunn Smith and suddenly smiled.

"Captain, I thought of sothing yesterday."

"What's the matter?" Dunn repeated the question. He leaned back slightly in his chair and loosened his clasped hands.

Klein recalled the draft he had prepared and described in detail how he had done the acting process. Although he didn't ntion the word "acting," he said everything he could.

After Dunn quietly listened to Klein's description, his gray eyes turned even deeper.

He fell silent for more than ten seconds before reaching out to rub his temples. Then, he picked up his pipe and was just about to take a whiff when he suddenly recalled sothing. He put it down and sighed. "It's no wonder Daly said that there will be a high-ranking deacon from the Church coming to inspect you in the afternoon... Heh heh, you previously submitted the Spectator and Telepathist potion formulas. You have already contributed enough. I believe you will soon beco a Clown."

Although that was true... the word "clown" was still too sad!

As Klein lampooned, he noticed that Captain Dunn seed to be in a trance again. He hurriedly raised his voice and asked, "Captain, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry." Dunn focused his gaze again. He only thought to himself, "I just... didn't know if it's real or... just a dream..."

Seeing how abnormal Captain was today, Klein planned on asking Leonard, who was on duty last night. Hence, he took out his pocket watch and pretended to look at the ti.

"Captain, I have to find Old Neil. Today's mysticism lessons are about to begin."

"Alright." Dunn held his pipe and watched Klein leave before falling into a daze again.

...

At noon, due to him spending most of the night reading in the Backlund University's library, Ebner only woke up at this ti.

After a simple lunch, he took out a pen and paper and began to organize the information he had read through the Eye of Pure White last night.

"The first Baron Lamud, also known as Mr. Azik, obtained the title of nobility due to military achievents in the last Chaotic Era brought about by the Pale Disaster at the end of the Fourth Epoch.

Second Baron Lamud, Mr. Azik's son. Due to so unknown reason, he beca enemies with an earl in the kingdom... There are no records of who this earl is in the library. He only ntioned the conflict between the two nobles over the years, but the second Baron Lamud suddenly disappeared...

"And it was ntioned before that the Nighthawks discovered the headless corpse of Mr. Azik's son. They confird that he was poisoned to death when he was alive. They even set up ritualistic magic around his coffin to suppress him out of fear that he would beco an evil spirit after death.

"This is very likely done by the Earl who has a feud with him!

"After that, the Lamud family's title was inherited by the branch family... But even so, they were still suppressed. Almost every Baron Lamud died young for various reasons, like a curse.

"During the 'Battle of the Violated Oath,' the last baron was sent to the front line to stop the Feysac Empire. In the end, he died on the battlefield... And Lamud's bloodline ended there."

Looking at the content he wrote on the paper, Ebner felt that as long as he found out who the earl who had been suppressing Mr. Azik's descendants was, he should be able to report to Klein.

As for where to look for it? It was naturally the royal library that was originally planned.

From the looks of it, he still had to find the storyteller, Mr. Sonard, that Miss Hazel had recomnded.

And the first step in disguising himself was naturally to understand it first. Therefore, Ebner quickly found Sonard's house based on the information he had obtained. He planned on using "Invisibility" to observe him at a close distance. It was also better to use the Clown mask to "pinch" his face.

However, he soon received a piece of news that caught him off guard:

That was, Mr. Sonard had followed Baron Syndras to Desi Bay early this morning. He wouldn't be back until next Wednesday.

What a coincidence... If I can't disguise myself as Sonard, am I really going to pretend to be Emma?

However, even if I'm willing to disguise myself, the Clown mask doesn't have that ability... If I can't change my body, wouldn't I be exposed at a glance?

With a small sigh, Ebner had to change his strategy, wondering if he could entrust soone else to do the job for him.

Miss Justice's identity is definitely sufficient, but she knows of the mission Mr. Fool gave . If I were to go over and entrust it to her, I might be exposed. Besides, this is very disadvantageous to the usual mysterious and erudite image of Tower... It's easy for his persona to collapse.

It wasn't a problem for Hazel in the past, but after she was corrupted by the Primordial Moon, she was more ostracized by the upper-class society. Many important figures wouldn't send her an invitation to a ball as proof...

And once she entered the royal family's library, the Beyonders of the royal family would definitely pay more attention to her, and they would definitely suspect her motives for investigating the information of the first Baron Lamud... This might lead to trouble.

Ebner went through all the people he knew in Backlund in his mind, only to discover that there wasn't a suitable candidate.

Either their status was too high and could not be used, or their relationship was generally untrustworthy. In short, they each had their own problems.

At the thought of this, Ebner had to admit that the task of entering the royal library in the short term was very difficult to complete. He had to take his ti to think about this.

...

In the alchemy lab of the Blackthorn Security Company in Tingen City.

Klein watched nervously as the Sword of the Goddess, Crestet Cesimir, bent down to pick up the silver-white box by his feet. At the sa ti, his dark green eyes instantly turned dark.

Then, Cesimir opened the chest, revealing a pure white bone sword inside. He whispered,

"Swear on the sacred relic."

With that said, he took out a tin box. After opening it, a fist-sized grayish-white object was revealed.

Klein's pupils constricted when he saw this because he had seen it before. It was sothing he had seen when he was divining how to obtain the Clown potion above the gray fog.

Back then, he didn't know what it was... But now, through Tower's description, he knew that it was the Clown Beyonder characteristic!
