The colors in the hotel bedroom scene became richer, with vibrant blocks of color.
Above his vision, a faint light drifted down, and Lex subconsciously lowered his head, as if afraid to see something he shouldn't.
Only when he felt a weighty sensation in his hands did he look up, seeing the illusory, thick mystical book appear between them.
The pages turned on their own, landing on the Arcane Artificer screen, where there were already 433 dimensional crystals.
'JokerClown said your performance pleased Him and generously rewarded you with 8500 dimensional coins, which have been automatically converted into 85 dimensional crystals.'
'Mad City thinks you can be more unrestrained and rewarded you with 2000 dimensional coins.'
'Jiu Xuanzun told you to keep it up and rewarded you with another 500 dimensional coins.'
In addition, there were rewards from multiple Observers such as 'Yun Sheng', 'nmvcxz6', and 'Lightly Drifting Wind'. If it weren't for their generosity, Lex's dimensional crystals would probably be almost gone.
Furthermore, Lex noticed that the likes for several previous 'tags' had increased.
lord of traps: This tag has received over 360 likes, increasing your trap-related abilities by 13%.
National Husband: This tag has received over 230 likes, increasing your attractiveness to the opposite sex by 7%.
crimson king: This tag has received over 180 likes, increasing the effect and power of your fire-related abilities and items by 6%.
Loen Wolf: This tag has received over 180 likes, causing you to have a special impulse towards women from the Loen Kingdom, with a certain probability of making inappropriate moves when in close proximity.
You have gained a new tag.
Loen Gentleman: This tag has received over 50 likes, slightly increasing your social charm in the Loen Kingdom.
The Observers have given me new tags again?
Loen Gentleman, well, it's quite normal, and improving my social charm in the country will be of great help to my future career.
Hmm, so the 'National Husband' tag already has over two hundred likes. That explains why Young Miss Helen is so exceptionally warm towards me.
Moreover, my abilities in 'traps' and 'fire' have also significantly improved. Praise the Observers!
Filled with gratitude, Lex, with excitement, placed his hand on the mirror he had bought from Helen.
He communicated with the mystical book, preparing to appraise this item.
Information appeared on the book's surface: Appraising this item will cost 4 dimensional crystals. Do you wish to proceed?
Only 4, of course, no problem.
The important thing is that it can be appraised!
After confirming the appraisal, Lex suddenly felt dazed, and blurred, glowing scenes flew past his eyes. Most of these scenes were rooms like bedrooms, and from the furniture and decorations, they didn't seem to belong to this era.
There was one commonality in these scenes: the mirror in his hand.
Various figures were constantly reflected in that mirror, but most often, it was a woman whose facial features were unclear, only distinguished by a mole at the corner of her mouth.
Sometimes, this woman wore ancient robes. Many times, however, she was clad in armor, seemingly a female warrior.
Soon, Lex regained his senses, and some appraisal information was displayed on the book page.
'This bronze mirror originated from the ancient Solomon Empire and was owned by a powerful female Beyonder. It therefore possesses some special qualities, attracting nearby souls to unconsciously approach, but it is not a magical item itself, and its unique properties will completely disappear within one to two years.'
Hmm, so it's just a special item.
However, that doesn't matter.
The important thing is that it is indeed an ancient item, and from the Solomon Empire era!
I remember in the original work, Young Miss Justice also had a similar bronze mirror, and through her connection with the mirror, she was pulled by Klein Above the Gray Mist!
Lex quickly dismissed the summons, holding the bronze mirror, his heart pounding.
"Let's try it. Perhaps it can also attract Klein's attention."
Lex hung the mirror on the wall and thought carefully.
Directly chanting that three-part honorific name? It doesn't seem appropriate. I can't explain where I learned his honorific name.
Or, use a general term? In that case, it's fine if there's no response, but if there is, how do I confirm that the person on the other side is Klein?
What if it's an evil god?
Lex pondered for a moment, finally deciding to make some simple modifications to Klein's honorific name that he had seen in the mystical book.
He took a deep breath, clasped his hands tightly, and adopted a praying posture in front of the mirror: "Oh, God Above the Gray Mist, please listen to my prayer, please bring me good luck..."
He repeated the prayer, doing so over a dozen times before stopping.
There was no anomaly.
Lex looked at the mirror, feeling somewhat uncertain, not knowing if this would attract Klein's attention.
"In any case, I'll pray once every few days. If it really doesn't work, I'll just have to find a way to go to Backlund and see if I can meet Young Miss Justice or that female author."
"If I can get in touch with these two Young Misses, I should have a chance to get Klein's honorific name."
After making his decision, Lex then opened the washroom and pulled out the dispirited parrot.
At this moment.
Above the boundless Gray Mist, in a palace resembling the Giant Court.
Behind a expanse of gray-white mist, a high-backed chair was faintly visible.
On the high-backed chair sat a mysterious figure shrouded in mist.
Amidst the pervasive gray mist, countless deep red "stars" dotted the expanse, varying in size and omnipresent.
At this moment, a "star" in the gray mist glowed faintly red, and the figure on the high-backed chair let out an 'Oh'.
"A vague prayer, only the words 'God' and 'good luck' are clear. Is this a gambler?"
"The scene is also unclear, seemingly experiencing some interference. It looks roughly like a bedroom layout."
"This man... his face is unclear, but from his attire, he should be a gentleman from the Loen Kingdom."
"How did his prayer reach me?"
"Should I pull him?"
"Never mind, I'll pull up that young man first."
"As for him, let him be for now..."
The mysterious figure, scrutinizing the crimson star, leaned back, then his figure dissipated into the gray mist, as if he had never existed.
Above the Gray Mist, the great hall was silent.
At 9 PM, Lex pushed open the Hunter Club door and entered the hall.
"Boss Duke!"
"Come have a few drinks with us."
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Grizzly, Mole, and Nafi. They were gathered together, drinking beer. Lex nodded slightly, and after greeting them, he looked for Richard.
He wanted to tell the musician that he had completed the task, and even more, he wanted to get a letter of recommendation for the Beyonder gathering from Richard.
But the musician didn't seem to be here tonight. After circling around, Lex, feeling a little disappointed, came to the bar.
Just as he was about to ask Old Parker about any recent commissions, the old man placed a thick envelope on the counter: "Your letter."
"Mine?"
Lex opened the envelope; there were two letters inside.
He first unfolded one of them. On the pristine white letter paper, lines of Loen text were written in beautiful cursive.
'Dear Duke, by the time you read this letter, I should have embarked on a journey to pursue art and music. Yes, I have already left Tingen. My destiny is to wander, so please do not miss me, nor try to make me stay.'
'I also believe that you will be able to handle Helen's matter well. You should have already noticed that Helen has a good impression of you. If you are willing to accept her, I will sincerely bless your union.'
'I have already given the letter of recommendation for the Beyonder gathering, along with this letter, to Mr. Parker. You see, I am quite trustworthy.'
'Well, that's all for now. I hope we have a chance to meet again in the future. Your friend, Richard, a true musician!'
Lex's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he shook his head, muttering to himself: "Dream on, I'm not taking over someone else's mess!"
