Chapter 59: Chapter 59: No Hope
Klein thought again about Lynn's generous spending, glancing once more at Lynn, who appeared reliable and mysterious at the moment. He felt like he understood this detective a bit more.
"Thank you..." Xio hastily took the paper and pen, scribbled a few lines of words on the paper, and then handed the pen and the paper with the honored name back to Lynn.
"Let me see, is this the honored name of that mysterious existence..." Lynn pretended to look carefully, and on the blank paper was the honored name he was familiar with:
"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era;
The Mysterious Ruler above the gray fog;
The King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck."
Ah, finally got the honored name of Mr. Fool!
A hint of a smile appeared on Lynn's face, but his expression remained serious and cautious. He looked at the honored name on the paper with a pensive expression, as if trying hard to recall, but soon he looked puzzled.
"How about it, do you have any understanding of this mysterious existence?" Xio couldn't wait to ask after Lynn finished reading the honored name.
"Sorry, I've never heard of such an existence before. But if it's important to you, I can try to find out more later. Consider it a personal favor, no need to pay me." Lynn shook his head, then hesitated, as if debating whether to say something.
This hesitation naturally fell into Audrey's eyes. She sensed a complexity in Lynn's emotions, not disdain but something more intricate.
Klein immediately perked up. He understood that when Lynn mentioned a "strange person," he was likely referring to that angelic fellow countryman.
"It's not exactly a strange person, but more like someone who saved my life..." Lynn scratched his head, his expression complicated. "But he is indeed quite strange, always saying things I can't understand, and his behavior is very unusual. How should I put it... he's very, very... eccentric."
"If he didn't trick me into believing in some strange existence, I might have thought he was a follower of some evil god."
"But it sounds like Mr. Peeker doesn't dislike him?" Audrey Hall spoke up, curious about the "strange person" Lynn mentioned.
She could tell that Mr. Peeker across from her seemed to have a complex emotion towards the person he spoke of.
"After all, he saved my life." Lynn said, completely immersed in the role he played, almost convincing himself. He smiled and continued, "He once mentioned something about not belonging to this era, but I think it might be unrelated to this Fool. Perhaps it's just a coincidence."
"Although it sounds like Mr. Peeker doesn't dislike him, huh?" Audrey Hall couldn't help but feel a bit dissatisfied. But she also knew that this was the normal attitude people had towards hidden existences.
After all, not every hidden existence was as benevolent as Mr. Fool.
While muttering in her heart, Audrey Hall didn't forget to comfort Xio, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. As the Mr. Peeker said, some people can live to old age peacefully..."
Lynn seems to think the other person is doomed for sure. Indeed, it's common knowledge not to casually utter the honored name of a Beyonders, otherwise, I wouldn't have been so bold to conduct the ritual... Klein muttered in his heart, reflecting on his reckless behavior.
Klein also considered another possibility: whether it would be better to keep Xio away from the Tarot Club, considering her fear after this incident. Maybe avoiding contact would be the best choice?
Klein suddenly thought of this possibility, feeling a bit hesitant.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy. After about half a minute, Lynn cleared his throat lightly and looked at Audrey.
"Let's go back to our previous topic, Miss Audience. Are you interested in purchasing the knowledge and scrolls I mentioned?" Lynn asked, trying to change the subject.
"I can assure you, the prices I offer are fair, and you'll find them worth your while, whether it's knowledge or scrolls."
