Lord of Mysteries: Starting As A Reader

Just as the "Red Moon" was being withdrawn by Lilith, the crescent moon in the night sky of the real world suddenly rounded, turning blood-red!

Another "Blood Moon" had arrived!

After dealing with Mr. Turon's affairs, Fors, who had returned to Tosk from Rit, was suddenly startled awake from a dream. With a pale face, she glanced at the moon outside the window. Just as she was about to chant Mr. Fool's honorific name, she was swallowed by a sudden crimson light and then entered the ancient palace above the gray fog.

She let out a sigh of relief, stood up, and bowed,

"Respected Mr. Fool, you have saved me again."

"It was an agreed matter," Klein nodded slightly in response.

Since she came to Mr. Fool every full moon, Fors was no longer as nervous as she had been initially. So, she proactively brought up a topic:

"Mr. Fool, I wonder what major event occurred that caused the Blood Moon to suddenly appear?"

She vaguely remembered Mr. Fool mentioning before that the "Blood Moon" involved an evil god.

Klein recalled the scene he had witnessed in the Fuyuki market on the first floor, carefully choosing his words, and said with a half-smile, half-sigh:

"The 'Primordial Moon' has fallen, and the ancient god Lilith has reclaimed more authority, taking another step closer to complete recovery."

The "Primordial Moon" fallen? The ancient god Lilith revived?

I remember the ancient god Lilith should be referring to the Ancestor of Vampires, right? Did She kill that evil god called the "Primordial Moon"?

Hmm, Mr. Moon in the Tarot Club is a vampire... Perhaps Mr. Fool was also involved in this matter? Are He and the ancient god Lilith allies?

After hearing Klein's words, Fors, who was previously a bit confused, instantly sobered up. She hadn't expected a simple Blood Moon to involve such major events as the fall of a god and the revival of an ancient god!

"You know this much is enough; don't spread it carelessly," Klein gently instructed, though he felt that from Goddess Lilith's unreserved demeanor, She didn't care if Her actions were known by others.

It was fine for the Tarot Club members to know, after all, with Mr. Tower's face involved, it wasn't a big problem, but there was no need to further expand the scope of the information.

"As you command," Fors quickly stood up and promised.

She had originally wanted to share it with Ebner and Xio, but now she had to keep it from them.

.....

In the underground of Tosk, within the "Kaspersky" base of the "Men in Black."

When the Blood Moon was in the sky, the young man who called himself the "Acting Commander" and Amon, who was bound to a cross, simultaneously sensed something.

—As high-sequence Cryptologists, they knew a lot of information just from the phenomenon.

The latter even curled his lips and chuckled, "So Their target was the 'Primordial Moon'? Interesting, things have been getting more and more interesting recently!"

Saying that, He looked at the young man, whose expression had turned gloomy, and said playfully, "Do you still think your Majesty can be resurrected?

"I've told you before, the gods won't let such an unstable factor run wild! Even if His plan is meticulously thought out, it won't work!"

The young man remained silent for a moment, then glanced at Amon and said faintly, "His Majesty has more than one contingency. He might not fail."

"Oh? Then this drama gets even more interesting... Let me see what other tricks He has!" Amon said with interest.

"No matter what, your clone will die in the end... I don't know what you're so happy about!" The young man snorted.

"You don't understand..." Amon looked at him and replied with a smile.

.....

In the gloomy palace, the young "Roselle," after hearing Ebner's remark, "But I believe Lilith more," intended to mock him, but before he could speak, his eyes suddenly widened.

He found that the power of the "Red Moon" had vanished!

"It seems Lilith won," Ebner also noticed this through his Pure White Eye and curved his lips.

"Roselle's" expression changed repeatedly again, and finally, he adopted a wry smile, shaking his head and saying:

"You won...

"But you can't kill me, and you won't make a wish, so you'd better leave this place soon...

"Once the power projected from the Chaos Sea returns, it won't be easy for you to leave."

What trick is he up to now? Ebner now didn't believe a word this contaminated Roselle said. After a brief thought, he also smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder... But who said I wouldn't 'make a wish'?

"I said earlier that as long as you could provide a suitable explanation for getting rid of the contamination, I would 'make a wish'...

"Although the method you described doesn't align with my desires, that method indeed has a possibility of success...

"Therefore, I've decided to fulfill my promise... After all, one must be true to their word."

"Really?!" "Roselle" seemed to widen his eyes in disbelief. If he hadn't been bound and unable to move, he would have surely rushed to Ebner's side.

Ebner smiled and nodded, "Really!"

With that, without waiting for Roselle to react, he directly made a wish to "Silent Winter," the item that had replaced the "Holy Grail": "My wish is 'resurrection'!"

He didn't add a subject, didn't say "whose" resurrection, only broadly stated the subject of the wish.

But this still sent a jolt through Roselle, because he didn't care what wish the other party made; as long as the act of wishing occurred, he could "twist" the wish and then steal the miracle.

As Ebner's words fell, the "wishes" accumulated by generations of tower climbers over centuries in the Dream Labyrinth Tower surged towards Zaratul deep within the palace, and the miracle was about to manifest.

But just as Roselle communicated with his main body, borrowed the power of "distortion," and connected with the "Book of Concealment" in the Surrey family ritual room, preparing to steal this "miracle," the "miracle" provided by Zaratul, the "Great Holy Grail" in this ritual, vanished!

"Where's the miracle? Where's my miracle? Why is it gone?!" Roselle, who had thought he was about to resurrect, immediately became exasperated.

"So a 'miracle' is worth 300,000 pounds... Then I can buy another one!" At this moment, Ebner muttered to himself, pinching his chin.

Evidently, Zaratul's "miracle" had just been bought by him using the "Quiz Maze."

—This item was crafted from a high-sequence characteristic belonging to the "Goddess of Wealth" from an alien planet. It possesses authority related to "transactions" and can purchase abilities with money and store them.

"Buy... Alvin's Maze? You tricked me?" Roselle immediately understood what had happened upon hearing Ebner's words.

"Yes, I tricked you!" Ebner admitted frankly.

From the moment he learned that this twisted Roselle was scheming against his friends, Ebner decided not to let him "die" too easily.

However, he wasn't intentionally putting himself in danger; instead, he suddenly understood something: why the "Calamity Seal" lured Roselle into building the Dream Labyrinth Tower, and why the Goddess allowed Roselle to take Zaratul.

"The first four questions during the quiz were about the Dragon Balls, historical knowledge from the eras of two senior transmigrators, and the improvement of 'Secret Arts'...

"My previous speculation was that this was a hint that to allow the senior 'Wanderer' to become a 'Miracle Invoker' and escape the 'Night Kingdom,' I would need to rely on the knowledge left by seniors Rhine and Vincent to create a 'Secret Art' that could perfectly integrate with the 'Wanderer's' body...

"But now it seems the first question might not specifically refer to Alvin becoming a 'Miracle Invoker'... but rather that 'miracle' itself is necessary for improving 'Secret Arts'!

"That's why the 'Calamity Seal' deliberately exposed the arrangements of 'Groselle's Travels,' luring Roselle to build the Dream Labyrinth Tower, because 'miracles' require 'wishes,' and 'wishes' require accumulation!

"This should also be why the Goddess allowed Roselle to 'move' Zaratul... Doesn't she want to waste his 'miracle'?

"That 'Mirror Apostle' happened to send 'Alvin's Quiz Maze' and enough money... Who guided that, I wonder?

"Speaking of which, 'Lion' Leon's mandatory questioning talent is very similar to the 'Quiz Maze'...

"It says it's an exclusive ability of the 'Sphinx,' but I haven't seen it recorded in any relevant books...

"Could it also have an 'alien' characteristic? Beyonder convergence... Is that why I, carrying it, naturally encountered the 'Quiz Maze'?

"Hmm, Roselle also entered this maze, and even the initial idea for the Dream Labyrinth Tower might have originated from it...

"So... when he encountered 'Alvin's Quiz Maze' back then, could it also have been because he raised this lion?"
