lord of the mysteries Chapter 770 - A Child Should Act like a Child

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mr. X is looking for people with abnormal luck? Above the gray fog, Klein ruminated over the information Miss Magician had provided, in an attempt to analyze anything of use.

After thinking to no avail, he decided to approach it from another angle. He first recalled the people who had abnormal luck around him to see if there were any connections.

Hmm... The Fog Seas Strongest Hunter Anderson Hood counts as one... Dr. Aaron Ceres is another... Hmm, both of them were affected by one of the Snakes of Fate... Angel of Fate Ouroboros was one of the creators of Rose Redemption. This secret organization supports and believes the True Creator... The Aurora Order is equivalent to the True Creators Church... A series of circumstances surfaced in Kleins mind as he quickly came to a conclusion.

This is Angel of Fate Ouroboross attempt to search for Snake of Fate Will Auceptin!

He is driving the members of the Aurora Order to help Him find Snake of Mercury Will Auceptin!

And this implies that behind Mr. X, theres a King of Angels existing somewhere in Backlund!

Under such circumstances, assassinating Mr. X will be equivalent to having a death wish... Its no wonder Mr. X doesnt care about the uniqueness of Backlund... The official factions would at most imagine that he has a saint backing him. Hmm, in the official dossiers, the Aurora Order only has five saints. This way, they will respond in the wrong manner... After Klein made the judgment, the first thought he had was to decline Miss Magicians request, and also to warn her not to provoke Mr. X.

If it wasnt because sounding the alarm might affect Snake of Mercury Will Auceptin, while the Church of the Evernight Goddess clearly had records of Dr. Aaron Ceress bout of bad luck, Klein wouldve gotten Miss Magician to report both the Angel of Fate Ouroboros and Mr. X to a particular Church!

He calmly thought for another few seconds and conjured The World Gehrman Sparrow, making him pray in the gray fog.

...Ill confirm the situation and give you a reply tomorrow.

He didnt directly reject her commission, as he planned on first asking Snake of Mercury Will Auceptin!

He then immediately returned to the real world, and he carefully took out the extremely fragile paper crane from his wallet before gently unfolding it.

Klein wasnt in a rush to write anything. Instead, he first recalled the various questions he needed to consult Will on. After thinking up a draft, he got out a pencil and sharpened it with a blade.

After stretching his muscles, Klein wrote:

The members of the Aurora Order are searching for people with abnormal luck.

I wonder if you know how to use the Worm of Time to create charms.

Does your placenta blood count as a Mythical Creatures blood? If it does, I hope to obtain one drop. What price would I have to offer?

Klein had originally planned on asking Will Auceptin how he was able to maintain His rationality. After all, the Churchs information indicated that there had been no public faith in the Snake of Fate. However, he ultimately curbed himself from doing that, afraid that Will Auceptin in His infant state replied, How did you conceive the notion that Im rational?

That way, he had no idea if Will was joking or speaking the truth.

Hmm, although theres no organization that believes in the Snake of Fate, there are certain areas that believe in the God of Luck; its considered a traditional custom... Perhaps They are an alternative identity of Will Auceptin or Ouroboros... Klein mumbled silently and used the best of his Clown abilities before managing to refold the paper crane. He then placed it underneath his pillow.

After doing all of that, he had the time to calculate how much cash he had.

17,046 pounds, 5 gold coins, 3 soli, and 8 pence in change... If I had assets like a house, manor, and company shares, having so many liquid assets would make me quite a tycoon in Backlund... Of course, Im still very far from being a top tycoon. To reach them, ones overall assets need to be a million pounds... As Klein was glad that he had quite a bit of money, he recalled his debt, as well as the large investments that he needed to make in order to develop his personas image.

He then drank a mouthful of water, got into bed, and covered himself with a light but warm blanket before he slowly fell asleep.

Amidst his reverie, Klein suddenly snapped awake and saw the desolate black plains.

He walked all the way to the pitch-black steeple in the middle of the plains, passing through the chaotic and abnormal layout before coming deep into the steeple. Like before, there was a circle of tarot cards on the ground.

However, the protruding area in the middle of the tarot cards didnt have any silvery lines written.

Will Auceptin didnt give a reply... Then why did he pull me into this dream? Amidst Kleins puzzlement, he suddenly saw a black baby pram roll out of the shadows. In it was an infant whose looks were indiscernible while it was wrapped in silver silk!

...Mr. Snake of Fate? Klein politely and cautiously asked.

The infant immediately said in a clear voice, What makes you so sure its a mister?

Isnt that determined from your name? Dont mind such details! Klein lampooned and relaxed due to the attitude he was given.

Then, how may I address you?

Will Auceptin in baby form tersely answered as it said, stumped, I havent decided...

As you know, ohyou dont. Every time I start again, I try to make myself a little different, so as to maintain a good mental state. A child should act like a child while theyre a child.

Kleins heart stirred when he heard that.

Is this the way the Monster pathway maintains its reasoning so as to resist madness?

In the black pram, Will Auceptin replied briskly, Yes, every beginning washes away the madness. However, it still needs certain anchoring from faith; otherwise, I wouldnt be able to maintain my state as a Sequence 1 for too long.

Heh heh, compared to before, youre becoming more and more knowledgeable.

Oh, apart from anchoring oneself with faith, there are other ways to resist the madness. However, restarting is clearly an ability of Sequence 1 Snake of Fate of the Monster pathway. Other Beyonder pathways arent able to emulate that... Mr. Azik is constantly losing his memories and repeatedly finding himself. Does it also involve the same concept? Klein nodded in thought as he made every second count by asking, I suspect Ouroboros is searching for you through the Aurora Order members.

Will Auceptin scoffed.

Ive been playing hide-and-seek with Him for a very long time. He isnt good at such matters. Its quite obvious that He doesnt have a childhood. Every time he restarts, He grows up beside the True Creator. He lacks the psychological experience of the different stages in life, causing Him to be very crazy at times, but of course, He doesnt mind.

I did inform Ricciardo to use the Die of Probability in certain places and leave marks. This will mess up Ouroboross judgment. He will soon leave Backlund once again.

That means theres still chance of assassinating Mr. X... Yes, when the time comes, Ill divine the level of danger above the gray fog... Klein didnt continue on this topic as he asked, Do you know how to use the Worm of Time to create charms?

Will Auceptin didnt directly answer and instead returned with a question, You obtained a Worm of Time from Pallez Zoroast?

How did you know? Klein was taken aback as he asked.

He wasnt surprised that Will Auceptin had managed to mention the origins of the Worm of Timeafter all, there werent many demigods in the Marauder pathway who could create avatarsbut why hadnt He assumed that it was Blasphemer Amon? The latter could also leave behind a Worm of Time!

Will Auceptin smiled and said, Pallez Zoroast isnt in good condition, and he had to parasitize your former colleague. Ah right, your former colleague was investigating Sherlock Moriarty, and he had entered my house in the middle of the night.

I sensed that there was something problematic about him and had given him a short period of bad luck, causing him to encounter other demigods hidden in Backlund. And when he was in danger, Pallez Zoroast had taken action. Haha, it wouldve been fine even if he hadnt taken action. Its only a prank. I wouldve given your former colleague sufficient good luck at the critical moment.

Leonard is investigating Sherlock Moriarty? The Grandpa in his body is called Pallez Zoroast... Klein frowned slightly, unsure where the problem stemmed from.

Will Auceptin continued, The creation of a Worm of Time charm isnt too difficult for you. You can pray to that uniqueness trait about you and use a compound of mercury and pure silver as a medium to draw the corresponding symbols.

Its not too difficult... Pray to The Fool? Thats right. The mysterious space above the gray fog clearly has a form of attraction to the Marauder pathway... Klein was thrilled as he felt like he had grasped something.

At this moment, Will smiled and added, As for what the corresponding symbol is, Ive no idea.

...What a huge reversal... Klein couldnt help but twitch the corner of his lips.

When he noticed that Will Auceptin wasnt speaking any further, he hurriedly smiled and said, Theres another question. About your placenta blood...

Before he could finish his sentence, Will suddenly opened his mouth and let out a cry.

Waaa!

He began wailing like a real infant.

...Cant we talk normally... Klein froze in his spot.

If he hadnt already confirmed it, he really wouldve suspected whether the entity before him was a Sequence 1, the president of the Life School of Thought.

Alright, alright. I just wanted to ask if its the blood of a Mythical Creature, Klein said as he raised his hands midway.

Will stopped crying and said with a laugh, Of course, but Ill swap it ahead of time. Otherwise, everyone will die on the spot.

He paused for a moment before saying, If you can give me something suitable, its not impossible to give you one drop.

Alright, goodbye!

Just as Will Auceptin said that, Klein felt the steeple shake as the dream rapidly shattered.

Soon, he woke up.
