Klein helped Mr. Azik visit his supposed old house from one of his previous cycles, which led the man to decide to find the man who took his son's skull, the same person who was apparently causing the diharmonous fate with Klein and the most probable person who was behind the coincidences that Klein had been suffering with.
After Mr. Azik confessed his plans to go to Backlund next Klein asked him for a little favour, just make some random and small supernatural incidents targeting the Evernight believers. His point of doing this? To get his hands on the mutated sun sacred emblem again of course!
("Ew.")
Only through this method could the incident be relayed to the Tingen Nighthawks. Only then could he join the team on the mission and suggest using Sealed Artifact 3-0782. Only then could he extract the divine blood from the Sealed Artifact to create Flaring Sun Charms!
As Amon had now officially joined his Tarot Society, Klein definitely couldn't remain any weaker. He needed to have enough strength to protect his wife! And currently, with his digestion of the clown pption being stagnant and combat training still not finished- the only thing that could give him a nice power boost was the scared sun emblem!
Not that he was going to steal it of course. No, just steal a little blood from it...
It wouldn't have THAT bad repercussions from a little blood extraction. Just a little weaker in its purification powers.
Which was a boon technically! Since it would be a lot less harmful and will take even more time to purify things that need not be purified.
This was for the safety of the Nighthawks and Tingen at whole!
("It would be a lot less harmful for both humans and evil spirits..."
"Klein trying to justify his actions is so cute!")
Azik didn't care about his motives. He nodded.
"I will tell you the name of the town and the estimated time beforehand so you can prepare yourself."
Phew… Klein heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that this trip to Lamud Town wasn't a wasted trip.
Even though they only managed to peel back the outermost layer of the mysteries surrounding Mr. Azik and had much more to find out, he had at least managed to gain the friendship of Azik, a reliable ally in his search for the culprit behind the scenes!
After Klein and Mr. Azik were done with their visit, Mr. Azik went back to his home while Klein booked a room in some dingy hotel till the morning. He had told Benson, Melissa and Amon that he would return by dawn, even if his work with Mr. Azik had ended. That wasn't without cause he needed some privacy for what he was about to attempt next.
Using the ritualistic knowledge he had gained from multiple sources of mystism as well as from Little Sun, he wanted to attempt to summon himself- or, in this case, The Fool that does not belong to this era.
After diviniating that it would be safe to carry out this procedure in the real world using the grey fog, Klein finally placed all the ritualistic items around and lit the candle.
Upon the dim light of the candle, Klein started reciting the incantation as well as his own honorific name and felt his spirituality being sucked and seeped in at a very noticeable rate. Thankfully, due to the mysterious powers or the ring as well as his recent ascension to the sequence 8 Clown, Klein was able to smoothly finish the ritual.
At first he saw nothing change or happen, but as soon as he glanced at his ring he saw that it was slightly fluctuating and he could hear his own voice faintly from it after touching its surface.
"So I'll need to actually respond to my prayer above the grey fog... summoning myself really is a lot of work." Klein sighed to himself as he took 4 steps counterclockwise and entered the grey fog.
Above the grey fog, Klein extended his spirituality towards the ripple he had felt over the high black seat representing The Fool and saw a small door in front of him. The door of summoning...
As Klein willed the door to open, he smiled in pleasure as he realized that his attempt had actually succeeded! On the first try too! Although it was a bit draining to his spirituality, it wasn't that hard! He doubted he would be able to summon the door now if he wasn't a sequence 8 or had this ring....
It's all thanks to Amon!
Klein went back to the real world and slept on his hard hotel bed after eating some less-than-decent food from the hotel. But even that couldn't wipe away the delightful thoughts in his mind.
Howes Street, Divination Club.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Moretti." The pretty receptionist Angelica looked at Klein in surprise. "You rarely come on Fridays."
Exhausted from searching for the house with the red chimney, Klein smiled and said, "Fate never repeats itself indefinitely. It always brings us some surprises."
He was in the area, and the time had expired on the carriage he rented; thus, he came for a cup of black tea and some rest.
"Your words are always so philosophical," Angelica praised.
Klein coughed awkwardly.
Klein thought for a moment before saying with deliberation, "I might not come to the Divination Club too often in the future, so you need not recommend me to others anymore."
He had already long finished his digestion of the Seer potion and was just spending some of his time in the Divination Club for relaxation and some extra cash. But now that he was burdened with the new task of finding the house with the red chimney he had seen in his dream divination, coupled with his old task of finding out a way to digest the clown potion as well as finding the person behind the coincidences, he no longer had any extra time or stamina to visit this place...
Of course if he were being paid a pound for every divination, he would come here every day regardless if he had just been shot and was dying.
Unfortunately, he still did not know about the repercussions of going back from the principles you had lived by from digesting a precious potion. Would his potion un-digest and he would lose control? No matter how funny that sounded, he couldn't risk it.
He only had one life...
A few days passed quietly normally, Klein continued to cut off the houses he had just investigated from his list with the houses with the specified red chimney, he had even gained the formula for Sequence 8 Telepathist from Daxter Guderian which Ms. Justice required!
After reporting the anomaly with Hood Eugene as well as the option formula he had received to Leonard, he asked for some protection to be given to Daxter against the person who had apparently made Hopd Eugene go psychotic.
The rest of his week went like usual.
He spent time with his siblings, trained, did his job, and spent the rest of his time with Amon.
And before he knew it, it was already Monday.
The day of the next tarot gathering. And the day Amon would have his debut in his little cult!
