After Bugs Bunny left, Klein busily dealt with the body, then called the police.
It was only with the help of Lawyer Jurgen next door that he managed to get away from the police station. He had originally intended to ask Al Tines, who lived across the street, about the rabbit's name and how best to deal with being assassinated by Ambassador, but then the maid from his landlord's house next door invited him over to discuss compensation.
"My detective career actually started with a loss!"
Klein couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the ruined room.
"You're looking for me?"
Leyton's figure appeared in the somewhat messy living room and naturally sat down on the still intact sofa.
Perhaps it was because the Sage's characteristics within him were gradually merging with him, but Leyton found that his divination and intuitive premonitions were becoming stronger and stronger.
For example, just now, not long after Klein had the idea of talking to him, Leyton had a corresponding premonition in his heart.
Klein was startled by the figure that suddenly appeared in his room. Having just experienced an assassination, he instinctively wanted to throw a few Tarot card throwing knives.
"Can't you just use the door? Don't always just suddenly appear and disappear."
Klein couldn't help but complain.
"Next time for sure!"
Leyton replied without sincerity, then changed the subject:
"What do you need me for? To deal with that Intis Ambassador?"
"How do you know everything?"
Klein didn't answer Leyton's words. Instead, he was a little confused as to why the other party always seemed to know everything. Klein even suspected that this guy might be monitoring him from across the street every day when he had nothing to do.
"Everyone has some secrets. For example, I'm quite good at prophecy!"
Leyton casually thought of a reason and explained.
Klein nodded, not showing whether he believed it or not, and continued to ask:
"Since you can prophesy, then how do you think I should deal with this matter?"
"Do you want me to protect you for a period of time, or should I go deal with that Ambassador?"
"Can't I choose both options at the same time?"
"If you go to other people to protect you, there will be additional developments."
"My suggestion is, it's worth a try!"
Leyton still hoped that Klein could connect with Sharron and the others, which would both cause trouble for the Rose School of Thought and increase their allies.
"Additional developments? Worth a try?"
Klein pondered for a moment. He felt that the other party was guiding him to make this choice. After a moment of thought, he didn't rush to give an answer, but instead asked about the Ambassador:
"How do you plan to deal with that Ambassador?"
"Ten thousand pounds, and I'll kill him."
Leyton directly quoted the bounty price Miss Justice had set for this Ambassador.
"You still want to charge money?"
Klein's eyes widened, looking at Leyton in disbelief. He was discussing such a serious topic with the other party, but the other party was talking about money with him.
"I don't have any money! For Mr. Fool's sake, can I pay on credit?"
Klein said this without much confidence. But he really couldn't come up with ten thousand pounds, not even a thousand pounds. He could only hope that the other party would let him pay on credit for Mr. Fool's sake.
"Of course you can. You can also ask Mr. Fool to post a bounty for you at the Tarot Club meeting every Monday."
Leyton nodded directly in agreement. Miss Justice still had a bounty to give to Mr. Fool's Dear, and rather than letting the Aurora Order earn it, he might as well earn it himself.
"Understood."
Klein nodded. Even if the other party hadn't said anything, he would have posted the bounty for that Ambassador at next week's Tarot Club.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Leyton stood up, ready to leave.
"Wait a moment! Why did you name your rabbit Bugs Bunny?"
Klein quickly stopped Leyton, who was about to step into the Spirit World, and asked the question he cared about most.
"Bugs Bunny? Don't you think a two-legged rabbit suits that name perfectly?"
Leyton's foot, which was stepping into the Spirit World, paused. He hadn't expected his identity to be exposed starting from Bugs Bunny's name, but he hadn't thought about this issue when naming the rabbit.
"I'm going to take my crow to a graveyard in the suburbs to dig graves. Let's talk next time!"
Leyton casually gave a reason and stepped into the Spirit World, leaving Klein's house.
"Does a two-legged rabbit suit that name perfectly? Al Tines, could you be another Transmigrator?"
The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that what he was thinking was likely correct.
Recalling the last Tarot Club meeting, when Hanged Man provided Roselle's diary to Mr. Fool, the other party didn't react much, seemingly not caring about being able to decipher Roselle's diary. Klein gradually confirmed his guess.
Returning to the house across the street, Leyton's lips curved into an arc. He could already guess Klein's expression now, and this was the effect he wanted.
"Compared to answers given by others, a Seer trusts the answers they find themselves more."
Leyton murmured in his heart.
"Let's go, we're going to a graveyard to see if we can help you digest the potion."
Saying that, Leyton grabbed Crow Anu, who was staring at the Plague Doctor figurine, and turned to step into the Spirit World.
Through Spirit World travel, Leyton brought Crow Anu to a relatively secluded graveyard in the suburbs of Backlund.
Leyton surveyed the surroundings of the graveyard and, after confirming that no one would suddenly intrude, placed the crow on a tombstone and said:
"Try to communicate with the spirits here, then use the prepared potion with ritual magic to turn the buried bodies here into Zombies, and see if you can role-play as a Gravedigger."
"Okay, Boss."
Crow Anu raised his neck, and a faint glow flickered in his eyes, like a dead spirit in the night.
Leyton retreated a distance, allowing Anu to slowly communicate with the surrounding spirits on his own.
If Anu wasn't a crow and couldn't dig dirt with a small shovel like Bugs Bunny, Leyton wouldn't have had him turn the bodies in the graveyard into Zombies to role-play as a Gravedigger.
After all, these were bodies already interred in the graveyard, and Leyton felt that doing so was somewhat sacrilegious to the deceased.
"I always feel that if I keep going like this, my favorability with Evernight Goddess will get lower and lower."
"No, my favorability with the Goddess was already negative, wasn't it? As soon as I appeared, I was in her church, stealing things from the church."
Thinking about the things he had done since arriving in Loen, Leyton felt that Evernight Goddess might give him a blessing of misfortune at any time.
Crow Anu quickly communicated with the spirits in the graveyard and sprinkled the prepared potion on several chosen graves. He then took out the prepared ritual materials and placed them in their corresponding positions.
This was a ritual to communicate with the underworld and borrow its power, which could increase the power of the death domain within a small area, causing bodies to exhibit Zombie-like characteristics.
Combined with the potion sprinkled earlier, a cold wind soon swept through this area of the graveyard. Leyton retreated further, away from this place filled with death aura.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The sound of earth being penetrated rang out, and a pale, clearly rotting arm stretched out from a grave.
Then more graves were dug open from the inside, and one Zombie after another crawled out of the graves, their bodies showing varying degrees of decay.
Seeing this, Crow Anu immediately began to communicate with the spirits possessing these Zombies, making them wander around the graveyard for several circles as per the prior agreement, and only then did they return to the grave pits they had crawled out of.
After all the Zombies had crawled back into their grave pits, Leyton scattered gray-black Sunflower powder from a distance. After the powder burned in the air, it emitted a strong but not irritating golden light, which flowed forward like ripples of water.
The golden light purified the death aura in this entire area. The previously animated bodies also lost their vitality again, turning back into ordinary corpses.
The spirits that had originally been in this area, after absorbing enough death aura, had already left this purified place.
"How is it? Is there any sign of the potion being digested?"
Leyton walked up to Crow Anu and asked.
"No, there's no sign of digestion at all. I think this contradicts the role-playing of a Gravedigger."
Crow Anu shook his head and said, very puzzled.
On Sunday, Leyton watched Klein busily moving in and out, re-furnishing his house across the street, while he leisurely sat on the second-floor balcony, enjoying the rare Backlund sunshine and sipping coffee.
His spirituality was touched, and Leyton put down the book he was holding. He gently clasped his hand in mid-air, and a pale yellow paper with a golden Sunflower pattern steadily fell into Leyton's hand.
"My leisurely, 5,000-pound pirate, Mr. Al Tines, good afternoon:
I didn't expect your life after leaving Feynapotter to be so fulfilling, but as a noble Sanguine, I still have to remind you that if your bounty continues to rise, it will spread to the inland areas of Feynapotter.
Also, those mushrooms you sent last time, I have already given them to the Church of the Earth Mother. They have a very good attitude towards the mushrooms, but a very complex attitude towards Frank.
His Grace the Archbishop asked me to tell you that if you arrive in Backlund, you can go find Father Utravsky at the Harvest Church there. This Father seems to need some help."
The final signature was: A noble Sanguine Baron, Yas.
"Father Utravsky? The Church of the Earth Mother knows about this Father's situation, but didn't help solve it?"
"However, Baron? The Church of the Earth Mother actually provided him with a potion? It seems this Sanguine is doing quite well in the Church of the Earth Mother."
Leyton sighed inwardly. It could only be said that Lilith was quite caring towards her own kind.
