Mystery: A Spark

As long as Klein notices him, Arthur will naturally find a way to pique his curiosity, pull him to Source Castle, and thus get him to join the Tarot Club.

......

Back in his room, Arthur took out the box that Danitz had given him before he left, wanting to see what the parting gift from Mr. Flame was.

"Huh? This is..."

Arthur looked at the materials in the box, then took out the "Pyromaniac" recipe and compared them, discovering that these were actually auxiliary materials for the "Pyromaniac" potion.

"This guy's got potential... I'll have to find a way to repay him later." Arthur solemnly put the box away.

In terms of value alone, the auxiliary materials for Sequence 7 potions are not actually too expensive, costing at most two or three hundred pounds.

However, there is no doubt that collecting them will still take some effort.

Danitz has already collected all these miscellaneous auxiliary materials for him, which saves Arthur a lot of trouble and saves him the trouble of searching everywhere.

After organizing the supplementary materials Danitz had given him, Arthur began preparing to join the Tarot Club.

It's just past 3 p.m., and Klein should still be in the middle of his fourth tarot session.

Therefore, Arthur had quite a bit of time to prepare.

To call it preparation is really just about changing the style of one's clothes to make one's transmigrator features more noticeable.

Previously, Arthur had been wearing Anduin's clothes, a blue and gold noble outfit that was quite distinctive, but it was still not as good as the outfit Arthur was about to change into.

He looked in the mirror and used his hidden blade to conjure up a suit of armor for himself.

"Hmm, is the armor conjured by the hidden blade just for show? It doesn't offer any real defense."

Arthur tapped his armor and said with some regret.

But he was actually prepared for this, since the main function of the hidden blade is as a weapon.

Its ability to transform clothing was actually just a side benefit, and that already saved Arthur a lot of money on buying clothes.

If the armor it conjures has any real defensive capabilities, then this magical item is really too overpowered.

If this magical item were that powerful, Edwina probably wouldn't have kept it hidden away.

Moreover, it will likely become more difficult to deal with, and it's unlikely that Arthur will be able to subdue it so easily with some means.

After Arthur changed into a new suit of armor, he completely transformed.

He had changed his original blue and gold-trimmed aristocratic attire into a handsome silver and gold-trimmed suit of armor. The armor was decorated with lion heads on the shoulders and chest, and several blue ribbons hung down from his waist, making him look majestic and noble.

“High King Anduin, hmm, this looks just right.” Arthur said with satisfaction, looking at his new look.

After all, the previous Little Prince Anduin's design was based on the Priest class skin in Hearthstone, which was a 3D model converted from 2D graphics, so it was a little hard to recognize.

The reason he was recognized by Bernadette at the pirate convention was mainly due to that damned Russell.

The current High King Anduin is based on a Warcraft CG.

As is widely known, Glass is a film company.

The quality of the CG they produce is extremely high, and the realism is naturally very high, making it easy to recognize.

Yes, Arthur plans to reveal his identity as a time traveler directly.

For him, there was no harm in revealing his transmigrator identity to Klein directly.

On the contrary, this would make it easier to approach Klein and build a good relationship.

Moreover, Klein is a person of impeccable character, kind yet not rigid, making him a very reliable friend.

Of course, this is why Arthur did this when he arrived in a mysterious world and encountered Klein.

If it were someone else, like Tang Sanzang, Arthur wouldn't dare reveal his identity.

After all, the power of "you have already chosen a path to death" is still quite significant.

After changing his appearance, Arthur calculated that the time was about right, so he took out the Skull of Gul'dan, released a wisp of Source Castle aura, and began to mutter to himself.

Chapter 46 Above the Gray Mist

Above the gray fog, Klein sat quietly at the head of the long bronze table, having just finished a tarot reading.

At the meeting, Klein, with the help of the naive Miss Justice, managed to extract some information about the secret organization from Mr. Hanged Man.

From Mr. Hanged Man's narration, Klein learned that the Hidden Sage had come back to life and also learned that the Church of the True God was actually the earliest secret organization.

In addition, he learned some information about the secret society, which was of utmost concern to him at the moment.

After verifying this knowledge with his own understanding, Klein grasped the core elements of the Secret Order's actions:

They are chasing after artifacts left behind by the Antigonus family!

This allowed him to initially determine his action plan: to find the Secret Order by following the remaining traces of the Antigonus family in order to obtain the "Clown" potion formula.

After thinking for a while, Klein rubbed his temples and tried to imagine a "smaller" version of himself.

Because he needed to maintain a certain level of prestige at tarot readings, he couldn't say many things directly, so he thought of creating a "short account" to try it out.

As soon as Klein had the thought, he saw a figure appear at the bottom of the bronze table.

The figure was dressed in a black tailcoat and a top silk hat, with a blank expression and wooden movements.

Even shrouded in an illusory gray fog, it's clear that something is wrong with it.

No way... Klein tried several more times, sighed, and gave up the idea of ​​creating a new account.

He tried something else, and continued to sit above the gray fog, at the head of the bronze table, pondering Audrey's earlier words, and curiously casting his gaze upon the illusory, crimson stars.

After a moment of silence, Klein began to try to reach the stars by responding to their prayers rather than by establishing a connection.

Unfortunately, he did not obtain any information from the dozen or so crimson stars nearby.

Could it be that only by establishing contact first and pulling the person into the gray fog can a response be made...? Klein nodded thoughtfully, slightly disappointed.

He did not want to go against the other person's wishes and forcibly pull them into this mysterious space.

Just as Klein was preparing to leave, he inertia made contact with a nearby illusory star.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed a faint, indistinct plea within the deep red stars.

Klein's spirits lifted, and he allowed his spirituality to spread and reach out to the star.

Before him appeared a boy with brownish-yellow hair.

The black tights that young man wore were completely different from the fashion trends in the Kingdom of Loen, and also quite different from the traditional clothing of foreign countries like the Feysac Empire and the Intis Republic that Klein had seen in magazines.

His surroundings were dim, the tables and chairs old, occasionally illuminated by flashes of light, but Klein could not hear the thunder or the sound of raindrops.

In the scene, the boy clasped his hands together against his forehead, his body bent forward, and he was praying for something. His deep voice lingered in Klein's ears.

After trying to listen to the boy's plea, Klein was embarrassed to find that he couldn't understand it at all.

Having no other choice, he decided to observe the boy for a period of time and use the opportunity to improve his foreign language skills.

As Klein prepared to end his journey through the gray fog and return to the real world, he discovered that next to a phantom crimson star, another small and dim star had emerged.

"Wow~ What day is it today? Why is it so lively?"

This sudden change made Klein stop his movement away from the gray fog; he was both delighted and somewhat surprised.

He once again extended his spirituality, reaching out to touch the newly emerged little star.

Upon seeing the scene inside, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed:

Anduin!?

Klein looked at the familiar attire of the young man in the picture and for a moment thought he was dreaming.

But he quickly realized that this might be an armor style influenced by Emperor Roselle.

At this moment, the young man in the picture toyed with the skull in his hand, sighed, and muttered to himself:

"Sigh, I've been in this godforsaken place for a while now, but I still can't get used to the food here. I really miss the old food..."

Klein glanced at the orc skull in the young man's hand in the image and muttered in surprise:

"Could he be holding Gul'dan's Skull?"

After hearing the young man's self-talk in the video, Klein began to think that the young man was likely a time traveler like himself.

This discovery excited Klein. He wanted to immediately bring the young man up into the gray fog to get to the bottom of things, but out of caution, he decided to observe him for a while longer before making a decision.

But then he noticed that the screen in front of him was flickering intermittently, like a faulty television.

This small star that suddenly appeared also began to appear and disappear, as if it might lose contact with the gray fog at any moment.

Seeing this, Klein realized that if he didn't act soon, the clue he had finally found about the transmigrator would be lost, so he had no choice but to reach out and touch the star that was about to die out.

On the Future, Arthur sat at the table, toying with the orc skull in his hand. The weakening of the connection with the gray fog was naturally his doing.

He knew that given Klein's cautious nature, even if he directly revealed his identity as a transmigrator, Klein would most likely choose to observe for a while before making a decision.

Arthur did not possess any complete Source Castle items, only a small amount of stolen Source Castle aura, which would dissipate after being used two or three times at most.

Therefore, he must seize the opportunity, and ideally get Klein to pull him directly to Source Castle on the first try.

So, while Arthur was muttering to himself, he gradually withdrew the aura of the Source Castle from his hands, making it look like he might disconnect at any moment.

Sure enough, after Arthur used this little trick, he saw the Skull of Gul'dan in his hand burst into a deep red light, instantly engulfing him.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a magnificent palace supported by huge stone pillars. In front of him was an ancient and mottled bronze table, and opposite the table sat a figure shrouded in thick gray mist.

Arthur glanced around, then feigned nervousness and asked, "Your Excellency, may I ask where this place is? What brings you here?"

“This is my residence. You may call me, Fool.” Klein’s leisurely voice echoed through the palace.

“And the reason I brought you here,” he chuckled, “is because I’m quite interested in your peculiar background.”

Chapter 47 "Chariot" Brand

In the majestic palace above the gray fog, Klein, seated at the head of the long bronze table, bluntly pointed out the unusual origins of this "Anduin".

Since he had already decided to bring this young man into the gray fog, he would definitely have to find a way to trick him into joining the Tarot Club.

Whether out of concern for fellow villagers or curiosity about another time traveler, this approach is entirely necessary.

During subsequent Tarot readings, Klein will likely continue to read Roselle's diary, thus revealing to Anduin that he can understand Roselle's writing.
