Chapter 36 She Got A
"Don't worry about my appearance, this is just an experiment."
"Appearances don't mean much to me." Noticing Miss "Justice's" gaze, Klein, wearing sunglasses, lied without batting an eye.
To be fair, he didn't like wearing sunglasses either, especially in this foggy environment, but there was nothing he could do about it! Klein, who had been blinded by the lights several times for no reason, was already a little numb.
To avoid being blinded by a sudden "flashbang" again, he had no choice but to materialize a pair of sunglasses and put them on his face.
Fortunately, sunglasses exist in this world. A pair of sunglasses shouldn't lower the Fool's cool factor, right...? Klein thought to himself, feeling a little guilty.
Meanwhile, Audrey, seeing Mr. Fool's new look, also began to ponder.
"I remember sunglasses were invented by Emperor Roselle, and we also have Roselle's diary that we collected. Mr. Fool really liked Roselle!"
"Mr. Fool looks even more mysterious with sunglasses on!" Audrey thought excitedly.
On the other side, after greeting everyone, Alger was also pondering the meaning of Mr. Fool's words.
"Appearances mean little to Mr. Fool?"
I've heard that some high-ranking beings don't have a definite physical form, like the Seven Gods who only have symbolic representations. Could it be that Mr. Fool is...?
Thinking of one possibility, Alger couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Mr. Fool is truly unfathomable!
After a brief chat...
At that moment, Audrey suddenly spoke up and asked, "I have a question, and I'll pay you for it. My question is, what happens if an animal drinks a magic potion?"
What kind of question is this... Klein grumbled nonchalantly.
He activated his spiritual vision and could tell from the changes in color that Audrey was a little flustered, a little nervous, and a little ashamed.
Could it be that... she did something similarly stupid?

"Ah... I yawn!"
Lorne rubbed his nose as he came out of the church.
"I wonder if the god of steam and machinery will protect a false believer like me," Lorne thought to himself.
Although the gaze had faded, he still felt uneasy, so he made a special trip to the church.
At first, he was also a little scared. He wondered if people would notice anything about him, since he was a time traveler and he was going to a place with a strong mystical atmosphere like a church.
Fortunately, the church staff didn't notice anything.
"No, just in case, we still have to do the reporting." Lorne wouldn't place all his hopes on the so-called god.
Even if the gods of this world might actually exist.
"No matter what, there's definitely something wrong with that extraordinary person from that day." He noticed something amiss the last time he glanced at him, and even if it wasn't related to that voyeuristic, secretive being, it was definitely a dangerous individual.
Lorne understood that his speculation might not be reality. But having something to do made him feel more at ease. After all, compared to a secretive being who loved to spy, an extraordinary being with anomalies was still within his comprehension.
"I was there that day too. If I rashly report it, I might get myself involved," Lorne pondered, considering a solution.
"We need to find out who that person is first, then we can make any plans..."
He decided to go back to the fortune-telling club to see if he could find any clues.
"Well..." Lorne felt a little ashamed when he thought about his behavior that day.
"Forget it, I left early that day anyway. If anyone's going to lose face, it's definitely the fortune teller."
"Besides, after what happened, the people in the club must remember it vividly, making it easier to gather information." Having made up his mind, Lorne went to the street and hailed a horse-drawn carriage heading towards...
……
Fortune-telling club.
"Hello, miss, I'd like to ask about what happened a couple of days ago..." Lorne greeted the receptionist politely.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the other person exclaim in surprise.
"You're one of those two from before..."
Wow, I've suddenly become that famous... Lorne's lips twitched slightly.
"Ahem, that was just an accident. I suddenly felt unwell that day, uh... I wasn't feeling well." Lorne quickly made up a lie.
"Uh, really?" The receptionist seemed a little skeptical.
"Then, sir, what kind of help do you need?" She put away her puzzled expression and asked in a professional tone.
"I'd like to inquire about the other person... uh, the person who fell ill that day."
Another one... The receptionist remembered the young man who fled in shame amidst the stares and whispers of the crowd that day.
She thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know either. He's not a member of our group, nor is he a regular customer who comes for divination often."
"Okay, thank you." Lorne was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face.
"How much should Mr. Lannus invest?" Just as Lorne was about to leave, he suddenly heard the guest next to him muttering something.
Lanius?
That name sounds so familiar...
That's right! It's from the time travel guide. After Lorne discovered that he had advanced to become a "machine," his memory was exceptionally good, and he remembered the contents of the time travel guide in a moment.
I remember the travel guide said this: If you have some savings you want to invest, you can go to the famous mine owner, Lanius.
Could it be the Lanius he mentioned?
Coincidentally, he advanced without spending any money this time, and he didn't have a chance to spend the money he had planned to save for the recipe and materials for Sequence 8 potions.
As for Sequence 7, Lorne felt it was still a long way off...
"I'm really worried about this money; I don't know how to spend it."
"Just what I needed, this is it."
He quickly stepped forward, intending to ask the man for information.
……
In Tingen, a con artist who was ruthlessly reaping wealth suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
……
Blackthorn Security Company.
Inside Dunn's office...
"So, you really want me to leave, Dunn?" Daly's tone was unfriendly, her eyes filled with grievance.
That's not what I meant.
"I would say this is an opportunity. Tingen is a small place, while Backlund, as the capital, has many more opportunities."
"You're a genius, there's no need for that..."
Before he could finish speaking, Daly interrupted him, "So there's no need for me to stay here, is there!"
"Who do you think I'm staying here for?" Her tone was a mix of anger and grievance.
"Can you bear to let me go to Backlund all alone?"
"That's the headquarters, and..." Dunn paused for a moment, as if making a decision, and gritted his teeth as he spoke, "Besides, there are many outstanding young people in Backlund from within the church, you can..."
As soon as he said those words, he realized he had made a mistake. Sure enough, Daly could no longer suppress her emotions after hearing them.
"That's enough!"
"Dunne Smith!" Daly flashed a bright smile, staring at the other person with a forced, insincere grin.
"If you're so capable, repeat what you just said."
"What I mean is you don't need to..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw Daly walk straight to his side. Looking at Daly, who was almost leaning against him, Dunn couldn't help but swallow.
"snort!"
Seeing Dunn like this, Daly sneered, suddenly leaned forward, grabbed the back of his head with one hand, and directly covered his mouth.
The office was filled with the sound of swallowing.
"Captain, this is this month's report..." Leonard pushed open the office door at an inopportune moment, but before he could finish speaking, he saw this scene before him...
"Sorry to bother you!" He quickly backed out.
At this moment, Pales, inside Leonard's body, spoke up: "I told you not to go in, kid."
