The Lord Of The Mysteries

Chapter 98's

Faced with her sister's question, all Klein could do was answer with a regretful smile, "A sore teardrop."

He initially believed that by consuming the Seer potion, his constitution would be enhanced as a Beyonder, but the harsh reality told him that the Seer's statistical points were all allocated to his spirituality, mind, intuition, and interpretation. It did not help him in adjusting to combat training quickly.

As for the original Klein, he had focused on his studies early on and was suffering from malnutrition. That left him with a below-average physical condition. The fact that she experienced 'side effects' from exercising was foreseeable.

"Achy otot? I remember you came back after dinner last night and you didn't do anything else.. Does alcohol cause muscle pain?" Melissa asked with a curious look.

Does alcohol cause muscle pain.Sister, the question is... inevitably makes me have inappropriate thoughts.Klein laughs flatly and says, “No, this has nothing to do with alcohol. That was from yesterday afternoon. I joined the training company battle."

"Fighter?" Melissa was even more astonished.

Klein organized his thoughts and said, "Well, this is what happened. I considered it and believed that as a historical consultant and a relic of a security company, I considered it, it's impossible for me to stay in the port office or warehouse forever. Perhaps there will come a day when I will have to accompany them to the ancient village or castle, to the relic site. It might require me to climb, cross the river, and walk a lot. I had to endure all sorts of trials brought about by nature, so I had to have a fairly healthy body."

"So, you joined the combat training to improve your stamina?" Melissa seemed to understand her brother's intentions.

"That's right" Klein replied with great affirmation.

Melissa said with a frown, "But it's disrespectful .. Aren't you always keeping yourself to the standards of a professor? A professor only needs the ability to read historical documents, ponder difficult questions, and maintain good manners and manners.

"Of course, I'm not saying that it's not all good.I prefer men who can solve problems on their own, regardless of whether the solution requires strength or brains."

Melisa smile.

Klein smiled and said, "No, no, no, Melissa. Your definition of a professor contains a misconception. A true professor can communicate with people gently and politely, but he can also educate others using the principles of physics by raising a stick to convince someone when there is an obstacle in communication."

"The principles of physics ..." Melissa was momentarily confused, but she quickly understood what her brother was saying. He suddenly couldn't reply.

Klein did not say anything more but widened his hard-earned pace as he headed for the bathroom.

Melissa stood there and watched for a few seconds. He suddenly shook his head and chased after Klein.

"Do you need my help?"

He was posing as if he was supporting someone.

"No, there's no need. I cut it a little early." Klein felt humiliated. He suddenly stood up straight and walked normally.

Seeing her sister walking steadily into the restroom and closing the door, Melissa pursed her lips and muttered, "Klein is becoming more and more pretentious…"

In the bathroom, Klein stood behind the tightly shut door, his face suddenly wrinkled in pain.

He held his breath, tensed his body, and stood there for seven or eight seconds.

When she finally got off with some effort, had breakfast, and saw Benson and Melissa leave, the pain finally started to subside.

After resting for a while, Klein took his cane, put on his hat, and left the house, walking towards the public carriage stop.

…

During the summer, Khoy University has trees with shade-giving foliage, thriving with lush birds and flowers. It's peaceful and quiet.

Walking along the river, Klein turned towards the history department. Then, he found a three-story building that showed his age and was located in the office of his mentor, Cohen Quentin.

He knocks and enters the room, but he is surprised to see that the man sitting in the chair of his mentor is the academic, Azik.

"Good morning Mr Azik, where is my mentor? We made an appointment by mail to meet here at ten," asked Klein puzzledly.

Azik, who was Cohen Quentin's best friend and often argued with his mentor on academic topics, smiled and said, "Cohen had a last-minute meeting and went to Tingen University. He asked me to wait for you here."

She has bronze skin, height and average stature, black hair, brown eyes, and soft facial features. Being before him brought an indescribable feeling, as if you could see in the man's eyes that he had gone through a life change. Under her right ear was a small mole that would not be visible unless carefully examined.

After saying the reason, Azik suddenly frowned as he carefully observed Klein.

Perplexed by the sudden scrutiny, Klein looked at his clothes. "Have I committed some breach of etiquette?"

Tuxedo, black vest, white shirt, black bow tie, dark color trousers, buttonless leather boots…

Azik's eyebrows subsided and he chuckled softly.

"Don't mind me. Suddenly I realized that you were much more energetic than before. You look more like a gentleman now."

"Thank you for your compliment." Klein accepted it calmly and asked, "Master Azik, did my mentor manage to find the book 'Hornacis Main Peak Relief Research' in the school library?"

"He found it with my help," Azik said with a gentle smile. He then opened the drawer and took out a gray-coated book. "You're no longer a Khoy University student. You can read it here, but you can't take it home."

"Good." Klein happily took an academic monograph, and with a hint of fear.

The design of the book is entirely in line with current trends; it uses hard paper as a hardcover and is printed with images like an abstract version of the main peak of the Hornacis mountains.

Klein glanced over and found a seat. He opened the book and began to read carefully, line by line.

As he was engrossed in the book, he suddenly realized that there was a rich and fragrant cup of coffee by his side.

"Thank you." Klein nodded with gratitude.

He added three sugar cubes and a teaspoon of milk before continuing to read his book.

The book, Hornacis's Main Peak Relief Research, was not a very thick book. Klein finished reading it when it was almost noon. He recorded some important points.

First, the settlements on the main summit of Mount Hornacis and its surroundings are clearly an advanced civilization, existing as part of an ancient nation.

Second, from their wall murals, their perspective on life looked similar to that of humans.

Third, they respect but fear the darkness of the night. Therefore, they called their god the Ruler of the Night, Mother of Heaven.

Fourth, the strangest part is that researchers have yet to find graves all over the area, which at first seems to indicate that people do not need to be buried, as they do not die. However, it would be contrary to the contents of the wall mural. In the wall murals, people in the country believe that death is not the end. They believe that the family of their deceased will protect them at night. Therefore, they would keep their deceased family members at home, in bed, by their side, for three whole days.

There is nothing more than that for a wall mural as it does not involve burial.

Klein took another sip of coffee and continued to write 'brenungan' in his notebook.

Heavenly Mother, Heavenly Mother is such a grand title, while the Overnight Sovereign clearly overlaps with the Goddess Overnight?

On ancient relics at the main peak of the Hornacis mountains and surrounding areas, every arrangement and decoration is well preserved. Even the wall murals had no signs of damage. Before it was discovered, there seemed to be no disturbance at all. His table was laid out with tableware, and there were dry rot stains on the dinner plate, there was a half-filled bottle of alcohol that almost turned into ordinary water…

What happened to this nation? They seemed to have left their home in a hurry, carrying nothing, and they never returned.

Considering how there are no graves, this only makes it even stranger.

The author, Mr. Joseph, also mentioned that when he first discovered the remains, he even had the belief that the people who lived there suddenly disappeared.

Klein stopped writing and set his sights on an illustration.

On John Joseph's third visit to the main peak of the Hornacis mountains, he used a new camera model to photograph monochrome photos.

In the photo, the tall palace has a collapsed wall and overgrown with weeds. It followed a style of grandeur for its design.

When he flipped over to the photo, Klein's first thought was the palace he had seen in his dream.

Both styles are identical. The only difference was that the one he dreamed of was at the top and it was much more majestic. It also has a big seat—honor seat—that looks like it's not a human chair. Countless translucent maggots gathered together and wriggled slowly under the seats.

I can confirm that my dream is related to the ancient remains on the main peak of the Hornacis mountains.It was supposed to be the All Night Country referenced in the Antigonus family notebook… Klein slightly nodded and closed the book.

At that moment, Azik who was sitting opposite him touched the inconspicuous mole under his right ear and said, "How is it? Found anything?"

"Pretty little. Look, I've written so many pages of notes." Klein pointed to the table and smiled.

"I don't understand why you're suddenly so interested in this matter." Azik sighed and said, "Klein, when I was studying at Backlund University, I had tried some divination and did a little research on it. Well, I find that there is disharmony ... in your fate."

Whahuh? A prophecy? Are you talking to me about prophecy? As an Astrologer, Klein looked at Azik the academic with amusement.

"How is it not harmonious?"

Azik thought for a moment.

"Have you come across many strange coincidences in the past two months?"

"Continue?" As he owed Mr. Azik a debt of gratitude, Klein did not refute his question as he subconsciously began to think.

If we talk about coincidence, the most obvious thing is when we go after the kidnappers. We actually managed to find clues about the Antigonus family notebook that went missing for days in the room across from the kidnappers.

Also, Ray Bieber did not escape from Tingen in a hurry; instead, he found a place to digest the power bestowed by the notebook, he said, allows Closed Artifacts 2-049 to track them easily. That seems to go against common sense. Although Aiur Harson gave a reasonable explanation, I always had a disturbing feeling that it was somewhat of a coincidence …

Oh, Selena had stolen a look at Hanass Vincent's secret spell, but she kept it up until her birthday dinner to try it on, and I happened to find it, which was also quite a coincidence. Otherwise, Hanass Vincent wouldn't have been the only one to die so suddenly…

Klein thought about it seriously for a few minutes and said, "There are three. Not too much, not too often. Moreover, no one showed anyone's involvement and guidance."

Azik nodded small.

"As Emperor Roselle once said, one happens to be encountered by anyone. Twice is normal. Three times is when one has to consider what internal factors influence that coincidence."

"Can you tell me something else?" Klein.

Azik laughed and shook his head.

"i can only say that there is some disharmony, but nothing else.You must understand that I am not a true astrologer."

Isn't that basically the same as saying nothing. Mr. Azik is quite strange.He played a con man in front of a con man like me. Klein sighed, taking advantage of the moment when Azik stood up, he pinched his glabella and activated Spirit Vision.

When he looked up, Azik aura fully appeared before his eyes and everything seemed normal.

Unfortunately, I could only see Ether's Body and one's Astral Projection above the gray fog. Klein thought carefully as he tapped on his glabella again while standing up.
