Klein did not directly transport himself back to 160 Berklen Street. Instead, he took "The Winner" Enyuni to the sea, where he found a secluded spot and softly recited the sacred name of "The Fool." Then, he stepped backward four paces, entering the gray mist, and waved his hand, summoning a paper figure to hover before him. Immediately afterward, he picked up one of the "Disgrace Cards" placed on the bronze long table before him and absorbed it into his body. At that moment, a deep red robe appeared on Klein's shoulders—its hue resembling the sediment of countless drops of blood that had settled after being stained with rust and smoke—and his face was now covered by an dark golden mask, its intricate patterns complementing the crown adorned with red, blue, and green gemstones. This was the transformation brought by the "Red Priest" card. — After multiple trials, Kline confirmed that a certain quality of the "Red Priest" card harmonized with the interference exerted by the "Paper Angel" on fate, enabling the forces of the mysterious realm above the gray mist to operate more effectively. Thus, he chose the "Red Priest" card over the "Black Emperor" or the "Despot" card. Following the completion of his preparatory steps, Kline transformed into the "Red Priest," picked up the paper figure, and gently shook it, allowing it to merge with the surging gray mist before hurling it toward the concentric circles of light generated by his prayers. The paper figure rapidly expanded, evolving into an angel bathed in golden light, with pure flames weaving behind it, forming twelve pairs of wings. This "War Angel" then descended upon the world along the subtle connections established by his prayers, enveloping Kline and the winner, Enyuni, tightly within its flaming wings. Only after completing all these actions did Kline feel a moment of relief, placing the "Red Priest" card back and returning to the real world. He first sought food for the "thirsty hunger," then returned with "the winner" Enouni to 160 Berkland Street, where one of them transformed back into the likeness of Daven Tholot, while the other became a young mixed-blood. After smoothing his hair, Cline walked to the main bedroom balcony and glanced toward the Machet family, noting that their lights remained on—clearly, the ball had not yet truly concluded. Typically, such events run into the early hours, though guests are welcome to leave at any time, since most of those who dance late into the night are young. Ah... Amun is truly formidable. A mere battle involving a "theft-ward" passing through a half-divine being has drawn His attention—despite one being in the city and the other in the suburbs. At His level, shouldn't the Law of Aggregation of Exceptional Traits have already taken on tangible form? Well, it's not out of the question that the half-god is about to lose control and undergo a transformation, which is precisely what has caused Amun to sense it... Kline couldn't help but vividly recall what had just happened, fearing that in the span of a moment, he'd find the young man—dressed in a single eyeglass, slender and refined—sitting in his own study armchair, slowly sipping a glass of red wine. He felt grateful that he himself had become a half-god, enabling him to subtly mask the gray mist so that it wouldn't be detected by extraordinary beings through the special pathways. Otherwise, given Amun's prior interest in such matters, the focus would surely have been on Germán Sparrow rather than on the "theft-path" half-god. In that case, he might not have been able to leave so smoothly as he had just done. Since Amun's visit to Bekkanland is likely just a duplicate, Caine remains confident about the disruption caused by the "paper angel," believing that the Angel King should be unable to follow the trail all the way to 160 Berkland Street and pinpoint Daven Tancred. Yet this still doesn't fully reassure him, because the "thief" who passed through a half-god has also brought attention to Berkland Street! Here, he encounters a "Divine Champion of Blood," pressured by a half-god concealed in the shadows, forcing him to self-ignite the explosives, now寄生于 a mouse... Here, he receives a warning from the mirror, learning that there is a vital need for a "Theft Path" angel to be replenished, and that the渎神者 Amun is en route... Here, he is struck by lightning for refusing to answer the mirror's questions, and is transferred to the Deer Estate... Additionally, his intended host, the seemingly student Hayouer, is affected tonight by a powerful illusion, revealing the teacher's true condition... With all these developments, Amun is likely to come by to investigate... Caine grows increasingly convinced that this place is not safe. In his view, merely the warning of a need for a "Theft Path" angel is sufficient to warrant Amun settling in at Berkland Street for an extended period! Of course, it's highly unlikely that the "thief" escaped through the half-god unscathed without revealing anything—Klein thought this almost impossible, especially since he himself had a solid confidence in handling the matter, let alone the fact that Amun, who held a certain degree of control over the "thief," was involved! Ah, if only he had anticipated the presence of the old man within Leonard earlier! Had he not been concerned about potential harm to Leonard should the old man recover further, he would have resolved the matter swiftly back then, instead of drawing Amun's attention. Now, what comes next? Regardless, something must be done—otherwise not only would the identity of Doun. Tang-tes be at risk, but Leonard on Pine Street might also be drawn in, and possibly even the ordinary citizens on Berkland Street. Who knows—what if Amun suddenly colonized them? Klein's thoughts turned, his expression growing serious as he carefully considered how to eliminate Amun's duplicate. His first thought was to reach out to Leonard, and together with the elderly Palis Soloyasde within him, to devise a "cleansing plan"—given this "theft-angel's" deep understanding of the current path's relationship with Amun, he should be able to negotiate a sound solution. Immediately, Caine pulled out paper and pen, ready to write a letter. Yet his round-bodied steel pen merely scratched the page a few times before halting. He felt it wasn't sufficiently confidential, for such detailed discussions might influence fate itself, alerting Amun prematurely. "A more secure approach would be to bring Leonard to the Gray Mists, convey the matter there, and then use him as an intermediary to discuss the plan with Palis Soloyasde... What else could one possibly do? File a formal complaint with the Church, asking them to conduct a comprehensive 'virus eradication' of Beckland?" Caine set down the pen, silently pondering alternative courses of action. He soon abandoned the idea of reporting immediately, since Leonard hadn't done so last time. With his grandfatherly understanding of "the渎神者" Amun, he knew this approach either wouldn't work or had significant flaws—perhaps even backfiring on him. "Better to first consult Leonard, gather the specifics, and then decide," Klein quickly resolved. For now, he temporarily suppressed his impulses to draw symbols and query "the Magic Mirror" Arodos, to send a paper crane to connect with "the Serpent of Fate" Wil Aunseit, and to send away "the Winner" Enyuni, entering the master bedroom bathroom and walking backward four steps, arriving upon the gray mist. Seated in the position belonging to the " Fool," Caine manifested the "World" Germaine Spalro, prompting the dummy to pray with reverence: "Esteemed Sir Fool, kindly convey to Leonard Mitchell that I have discovered the new whereabouts of the '渎神者' Amun. I hope he will be able to visit your realm at the earliest to discuss the next steps—specific timing shall be determined by him." Transforming the prayer's words into light and shadow, Caine projected them into the deep red star representing Leonard, then, in the guise of the "Fool," added: "No need to conceal the matter from Palis Soloyasde." On the Northern Continent, since the age of paleness, the strict enforcement of the "Burial in Gardens" decree—jointly promoted by the Seven Great Churches of the Divine and royal houses—has resulted in very few human spirits transforming into ghosts. These spirits mostly remain in the poorer districts where deaths go unnoticed or in rivers and lakes where bodies are not promptly recovered. However, the sources of the undead are not limited to humans; various wild animals and spiritually attuned beings can also become ghosts under suitable conditions, and unlike humans, they cannot independently seek out human cemeteries to find rest. This explains the frequent ghostly legends found in remote rural areas. Just as Leonard had recently calmed the spirit of a wild wolf, an endless expanse of gray-white mist suddenly enveloped him, and the prayers of "the渎神者" Amun, now known as Germain Sparo, resonated clearly in his ears. "Amun is still in Bekeland," Leonard's eyes widened, and his entire demeanor instantly tightened. Because the Sir of the Fool had instructed him, he hesitated not at all, lowering his voice and saying: "Old man, did you see it? Did you hear it?" Palis Soloyasde's slightly weathered voice then responded: "No. I sensed a slight anomaly, but nothing more—nothing visible or audible—unless you allow me a deeper parasitism, giving me direct access to your stellar body." Do you think I'm foolish? Indeed, it seems the Sir of the Fool's response has been conveyed through your stellar body... Leonard paused, carefully choosing his words: "Old man, Caine has relayed to me through the Sir of the Fool a matter—he has discovered Amun's new whereabouts—and has asked me to discuss it in the Sir of the Fool's realm. What do you suggest?" "Palace Soloyasde paused for several seconds, then sighed, saying, "If he wishes to oppose Amun's counterpart in Beckland, let him know that unless there is a hidden protection, you know what the consequences will be." The elder spoke proactively, setting forth a condition—implying that should such hidden protection truly exist, would He be willing to cooperate? Leonard felt a spark of inspiration and immediately sought a dark corner, praying to the 'World' that Claryn would be aware of his current situation. As for whether losing control of his body outside the city would pose any danger, Leonard had no concerns, for there remained within him an angel of the 'Theft Path.' Not long after, a deep crimson tide surged before him, swiftly engulfing him.
