While Lin Ruo of Tingen Town happily obtained his chariot license plate, in Backlund, in the Cherwood Borough, in a certain apartment—
"Fors, there's a letter for you!"
The girl speaking was rather short, barely over five feet tall, with messy, coarse, shoulder-length blonde hair. Although her features were delicate and soft, her brow and eyes seemed not to have fully matured, giving her a rather youthful appearance.
However, no one would think she was easy to bully because of her youthful looks, because wearing traditional knight's practice clothes, she had an indescribable majesty and a charm that made people believe in her.
No doubt, this person was Xio Derecha, the future Justice of the Tarot Club in the original story, and the good female friend of the Magician, Fors Wall.
The person she was speaking to at this moment raised her head in confusion, her light blue eyes carrying a seemingly innate laziness, and said, "A letter? Let me see it."
As she spoke, Fors used her waist to try and sit up from the sofa, but failed miserably three times. In the end, she simply reached for the letter in Xio's hand in a semi-reclined position.
Xio, already used to this, handed her the letter.
Fors took the letter, glanced at the beginning, and casually complained to Xio, "It's a reader's letter, they must have gotten my address through the editor. I hope it's not a request for a draft…" After saying that, she began to read seriously.
At first, Fors' expression was quite relaxed, and she even seemed to smile because she saw something worth being happy about.
But gradually, Fors' smile disappeared, and finally, she suddenly sat up from the sofa.
"What's wrong? Did your reader threaten you in the letter?" Xio, who was reading the newspaper beside her, was immediately startled and couldn't help but ask.
"No!" Fors shook her head.
"Then what on earth is it?" Xio was even more puzzled.
Fors, whose expression was usually lazy, rarely became serious and said, "This reader of mine said in the letter that he really likes the supernatural elements in my novel… and then he mentioned a lot of legends related to the supernatural in the letter, one of which is related to the Full Moon Whisper…"
Xio immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, after all, this good friend of Fors was very clear that her friend had been troubled by the Full Moon Whisper.
"Then what did he say about it? Is it really related to your situation?" Xio asked quickly.
Before she asked, Fors' expression collapsed, and she said, "He only mentioned the Full Moon Whisper in one sentence, saying that it seems to be a curse passed down from generation to generation in a mysterious family… Other than that, he didn't write anything related to it."
"Ah, this…" Xio didn't know what to say for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Although it can't be determined whether the Full Moon Whisper he said is really related to you, but since a clue has finally appeared, I think it's still worth investigating… Why don't you write a letter and ask? Isn't he your reader? If you ask him and he really knows something, he should tell you, right!"
Fors nodded and said, "That's what I think too…"
"By the way, what's the name of your reader? I'll check it out for you later to see if I can find any clues." Xio asked again. As an Arbiter who was quite successful in the East Borough, Xio was quite confident in finding people.
"Let me see… Well, the other party is called Ross Earl." Fors said while looking at the signature at the end of the letter.
"This name…" Xio was slightly stunned, and then quickly turned the page of the newspaper in her hand. Sure enough, she found the name in a position that had always been used for advertisements.
She immediately called out to Fors: "See if this is the person?"
Fors leaned over and also saw the information published in the newspaper.
"Ross Earl… a private detective?"
… …
The facts prove that Klein's boldness and action are indeed never disappointing.
When Lin Ruo arrived in Tingen the next day, he learned definite news from him.
"That is to say, you got inspiration from ritual magic, modified the description in the ritual magic, and even made up a spell to associate and bind yourself with that mysterious space…"
Although he had expected it, Lin Ruo, still very dedicated, showed a shocked expression and said this, looked at Klein, who looked a little embarrassed, and suddenly gave him a thumbs up and said, "Awesome, my boy! Your idea is great!"
Being praised, Klein was even more embarrassed, but he also keenly noticed a certain keyword in Lin Ruo's words just now, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said, "Boy?"
I treat you as a friend, but you want to be my dad?
"Cough, slip of the tongue, don't mind it!" Lin Ruo coughed lightly and looked away with some guilt.
Damn, I said it without thinking!
I almost exposed the fact that he was raising Mr. Fool with the mentality of raising a cub!
"Then why are you guilty?" Klein's eyes were even sharper.
Lin Ruo, who had already adjusted his mentality, showed an attitude of being righteous even if he was not, and said, "Cough, isn't it normal for boys to want to be each other's dad? When I was in college, everyone in the dormitory was a dad and everyone was a son!"
So you really want to be a dad… Klein complained in his heart, and didn't dwell on this matter anymore, after all, as the other party said, this is indeed a very normal thing.
He just remembered something again and said, "Speaking of which, I thought you would object to this matter, after all, this… is quite bold."
Klein, who had already learned some basic knowledge of mysticism, naturally knew how bold he was in making up a respected name.
And Lin Ruo, obviously, maintained an attitude of awe towards the gods.
Although he had already had the incident of pretending to be a god before, that was after all a last resort, and different from the situation of making up a respected name.
Lin Ruo smiled when he heard the words and said, "Your behavior is indeed very bold. If the Fool really exists, I would definitely object to you courting death like this… But since the Fool doesn't exist, it's understandable for you to do this."
After saying that, he showed a serious expression to Klein again and said, "And Klein, although it's true that I am in awe of the gods, I am also a non-believer. What I am in awe of the gods is their power, but it's limited to this!"
The implication is that he doesn't care how bold Klein's behavior is or whether it offends the gods.
As long as there are no safety issues, that's fine!
This made Klein breathe a slight sigh of relief, and then heard Lin Ruo ask: "Then Klein, what is the respected name you made up that belongs to Mr. Fool?"
Klein paused and replied:
"The Fool who does not belong to this era;
You are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog;
You are the King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck."
Listening to this familiar respected name, Lin Ruo couldn't help but laugh, laughing particularly brightly.
He repeated this respected name in a low voice, and then looked at Klein, his tone with a sigh that the other party couldn't understand:
"Then… praise the Fool!"
