Lord of Mysteries: Starting As A Reader

"However, one thing is certain: the 'Wanderer' senior who left these hints and coded messages probably isn't intentionally being a 'riddler'."

"He can't speak directly, otherwise a certain entity would know?"

"Is this because the coded messages mention a certain entity, or because the answers to these riddles themselves are part of a plot against a certain entity?"

"Hmm, this entity's status should be very high, at least an Angel of God or a True God…"

"Heh, before, Daniel plotted to rescue the Chained God, also leaving no spoken or written words, relying only on the mystical connections and tacit understanding between Transmigrators to complete the layout… Is it my turn to decipher Alvin's plan now?"

"But with so little information, I can only guess blindly… Do I have to wait until I become a demigod to understand further?"

Staring at the keywords he had analyzed, Ebner thought for a moment and took out a monocle from his pocket.

This was one of three items obtained in the Nation of the Evernight from Panatiya, the Despairing Nightingale, who was killed by the historical projection of Death Consul Vincent.

It was crafted from a Dream Weaver characteristic and originally possessed a "living" quality, but under the "pale flame" of a complete mythological creature, this quality had already "died."

This item could grant the wearer "deciphering" abilities comparable to a high-Sequence… Ebner had previously suspected it was essentially Amon's "clone."

Holding the monocle, Ebner hesitated for a long while, but ultimately didn't put it on…

Even after being handled by the Death Consul, it's still too dangerous… To use this item, it's best to reforge it.

"Unfortunately, I used the secret art 'Disintegration' on it whenever I had time before, but I never successfully triggered the effect of restoring Beyonder items to 'Beyonder characteristics'…"

Sighing, Ebner put away the "lens," and then stopped pondering the connections between those questions. After all, with a lack of understanding of many things, the interpretation might very well be wrong from the start…

At this time, Ebner envied Klein more; his "intuition" was always so accurate… while his own "prophecy" needed a certain amount of related knowledge as a foundation to achieve similar effects.

Because the interpretation wasted a lot of time, and Ebner, having just gone through a battle, was also feeling a bit tired, he didn't go to the fourth platform to "purchase" detailed information about the alien planet. Instead, he directly "teleported" back to the "leased" "mansion."

—Of course, this also had something to do with his desire to accumulate a few days of "interest" before exchanging.

By this time, Fors and the other two had already finished bathing and returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Seeing this, Ebner also soaked in the hot spring, served by the Magic Mirror, washing away his fatigue.

During this time, he also organized the Beyonder items he had acquired.

The two items obtained from Chesi, the Charm Whispers Necklace which could release various desire-stirring auras, and the Wind Blessing Ring, a Wind-blessed item afraid of seawater, remained on Chesi, who was controlled by the Magic Mirror.

Fors had seen these two items earlier, and they weren't suitable for sale at the Tarot Club.

Ebner had just taken the time to "appraise" Herta's double-barreled shotgun, which the Quiz Labyrinth had valued at ten thousand pounds, and generally understood its functions:

"It is crafted from the characteristics of a Conspirer and a Wraith; the two barrels can fire 'flame' and 'frost' bullets respectively."

"Any target hit, whether intelligent or non-intelligent, will develop an inexplicable 'hatred' towards the shotgun's wielder."

"When wielding this shotgun, one can transform into a special wraith, possessing most of the abilities of the Wraith Sequence."

"Additionally, while the negative effects are few, they are all fatal…"

"For instance, each use deepens one's faith in a certain hidden existence, until one becomes Its fanatical believer."

"This 'hidden existence' can be specified by oneself, but must at least possess the status of an angel."

"Another example: it will cause a certain desire within oneself to become uncontrollable, leading to constant indulgence…"

Symeem Island

On Symeem Island, which also belongs to the Rorsted Archipelago but is the farthest from the "City of Generosity" Bayam, requiring nearly 5 hours by passenger ship to reach.

Leticia Dolera, a member of the Moses Ascetic Order, along with two companions, searched for the hidden "elf ruins" in the Symeem Island jungle, based on a "prophecy" obtained from the elven "Trial Temple."

Meanwhile, Klein also arrived on the island by ship.

Unlike the original work, since Winter became the butler of Fragrant Manor and Ebner hadn't dismissed him even after leaving Bayam, but instead gave him the Sleepless potion, allowing him to assist "Sea Snake" Weif in managing the Amyris Leaf Bar…

So, Klein wasn't impersonating him to "confess" to his beloved, as he was supposed to be dead…

Klein had heard that the "Black Death" had appeared near this island and decided to investigate the whereabouts of "Vice Admiral of Ailment" Tracy.

—He had herded "Steel" Maveti, liberated the soul of a "Nightguard," and learned from him that a batch of literature about Death might be with Tracy.

However, as soon as Klein disembarked, his spirituality stirred. He slightly turned his head and quickly met a pair of blood-colored pupils.

They belonged to a young silver-haired lady.
