Chapter 265: Arrodes and Klein

"Trissy?!" Klein's pupils constricted; subconsciously, he thought of that Witch who had lured a Witch Demigod and nearly wiped out the Blackthorn Security Company.

Leonard's expression also turned serious, as he was extremely concerned about this news.

"Synthesizing the information we have here, the Witch Sect seems to have been struck by an unknown force recently, suffering heavy losses..."

Beierte introduced to Klein.

"According to information obtained from the demons, the Witch Sect lost a key figure during this purge, and it is this Trissy."

"She should still be in the East District." The East District, the most chaotic part of Backlund—this range was far too large!

Klein and Leonard both frowned.

However, perhaps I can post a mission at the Tarot Club through "The World" and utilize others' channels; it might be simpler... Klein's mind raced with various thoughts.

This is a person whom even a Demigod would risk offending the entire Evernight Church to capture; she absolutely cannot be let go!

"Alright, we will conduct an investigation." Klein nodded lightly.

"Good." Beierte handed a document to Klein containing information about the investigation. "If you can't find her, come find me, and I'll swap you for another one!"

It was called a partnership between two parties, but the Aurora Order held such an overwhelming advantage that the detective agency felt like a subordinate organization of the Aurora Order.

"Understood." Klein and Leonard and the others left the Aurora Order's base by carriage.

"Where should we go next?" Klein asked suddenly.

"To the Bishop's manor, of course." Leonard leaned back against the inner wall of the carriage with a look of expectant anticipation.

"What?" Outsiders like Maric did not yet have this tacit understanding.

"Bishop Chumen promised us that as long as we could achieve certain results, we could obtain more support from him."

"Does a gathering point of the Blood Sect count as a result?"

"It counts."

Klein and Leonard answered Maric's question in a coordinated manner.

"We..." Sharon's voice sounded inside the carriage.

"We are partners." Klein said very earnestly.

"..."

The carriage fell into silence, and it gradually drove into a large manor on the outskirts of Backlund.

"Eh? Why have you come?" Chumen was somewhat surprised to see the four visitors; after all, he didn't need to keep an eye on everything.

"This is the result of our investigation during this period." Klein handed over the document.

"Blood Sect and Witch Sect? Aurora Order?" Chumen obtained sufficient information from the paper.

"Hmm... barely acceptable." Chumen put down the document, looking at Klein and Leonard with a half-smile.

"You're using the reimbursement techniques Old Neil taught you on me, aren't you?"

Klein and Leonard were both ashamed; Old Neil's research into reimbursements wasn't just about prayers to the Goddess, but also how to reasonably fleece the Dream Sect.

"But it's all meant for you anyway, so let's take this opportunity to give it to you."

"All of you, come in with me." Chumen led the four of them into his study.

"Sit down first."

Chumen rummaged through a pile of clutter in the corner of the study and picked up a silver mirror with ancient patterns.

There were eye-like decorations on both sides of the mirror, with black gemstones as the base, looking deep and enchanting.

He hadn't specifically looked for this mirror; it was just that under the effect of "wishing for something and having it come true," the Church of Steam had proactively delivered it into Chumen's hands.

This was very reasonable.

"Your humble servant Arrodes pays tribute to you, great Supreme Dream, you are the ultimate yearning of endless living beings, you are..."

"Shut up." Chumen tapped it lightly, and the handwriting on the mirror vanished, replaced by a tearful, mouth-covering emoji.

Quite the drama queen...

"Your fated master has arrived; you don't need to stay in this pile of junk anymore."

The expression on the mirror changed instantly, first to ecstasy, then it glanced at Chumen cautiously.

It was unsure of this "Supreme Dream's" thoughts, so it dared not speak.

Chumen ignored it, casually grabbed a glove and two badges, and came before the four of them.

"First, these are for you two." Chumen placed the two Dream Badges in front of Sharon and Maric.

"This badge can keep you from being in a suppressed state at all times, reducing the danger of you losing control."

"It has a miraculous effect, especially on nights of the Full Moon and Blood Moon."

"..." Sharon and Maric looked at each other, knowing the value of this badge, but neither reached out to take it.

"Your teacher sent you to me likely for this very reason." Chumen convinced them with just one sentence.

"And this is for you." Chumen threw the Stealing Glove at Leonard.

"Its only ability is to Steal Beyonder powers; it can even steal from high Sequences, but the probability is lower."

"Its side effect is quite interesting," Chumen chuckled, looking at Leonard and saying, "It fears Monocles and Crows. Once you encounter these two things, you will instead lose one or more of your own Beyonder powers."

"Uh..." Leonard picked up the glove, feeling confused; this side effect was already very minor.

The similar Sealed Artifacts it had used before all stole the user's life.

"As for you..." Chumen handed over the Arrodes Mirror.

"You need to ask this mirror questions when someone is present, and it will provide the corresponding answer."

"Afterward, you also need to answer its questions; if you don't answer, you will suffer a certain punishment."

"My suggestion is to try it on the spot." Chumen said sternly, strongly recommending it.

Klein only felt his spirituality intuition throbbing; he really didn't dare to reach out to take it. He felt the same terrifying sensation as when facing the "Despair Witch."

"Come, ask your question!" Chumen held up the mirror directly toward Klein.

"Gulp!" Klein's Adam's apple bobbed; he had a sinking feeling there was a huge trap!

But under the gaze of everyone, he couldn't very well refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and ask, "I want to know Trissy's whereabouts."

Klein asked casually without even providing more specific information, not without the intention of being vague to make this "divination-like ability" fail.

It was just that this Mirror was even more formidable than he had imagined; the surface of the mirror seemed to ripple like water, and a figure appeared on the silver surface, blurred to the extreme, identifiable as a woman only by her clothing.

"Is it Trissy?" Klein's thoughts were drawn to the image.

This Mirror is so amazing, to be able to find Trissy with just a single sentence...

The woman in the image was walking through the dirty and chaotic East District, constantly weaving through the streets and alleys.

The image stopped there.

"A question?" Chumen tapped the mirror surface lightly, speaking up to remind him.

And the ripples on the Mirror seemed to pause for an instant, then a question manifested.

"Who... was the target of your last Peach Blossom Dream?"
