    I suppose not; surely he wouldn't have escaped if it was.

    I wonder if the wind had something to do with Alger. Maybe he warned the church in advance? It could have been due to Audrey's warning, too, I suppose. And hopefully whoever appeared in that carriage is an enemy?

    Ince used the umbilical cord of the unborn baby of Megoose that was why he was able to escape the unidentified creatures.
    The 0-08 quill continued writing.
    “Some might feel regret, while others might rejoice. Ince Zangwill had the umbilical cord of the evil god which came from the baby in Megose’s womb. It was from the True Creator, and through the umbilical cord, he successfully escaped from the restraints of the unknown existence and forcefully returned to the real world, but as a result, he had lost that mystical item. In addition, he would suffer the ire of the evil god’s spawn from having failed to descend for a short period of time.
    “This made his strength appear like some kind of commodity in a department store during a change of seasons, with only 55% left. Yes, this number is extremely accurate.”


    And the Wind was probably done by the Archbishop of the Church of Storm.
    And the one who the Lady of Despair meet is also probably the Seal of the Church of Evernight Goddess.

    Just as the Lady Despair was about to leave the carriage, her vision blurred and she saw a figure appear before her.
    The figure sat across her. It was a young woman in a hooded classical robe, with black eyes and hair, and a beautiful but dull face.


    “Number: 17.
    “Name: XXXXXX
    “Danger Grade: 0. Extremely Dangerous. It’s of the highest importance and of the highest confidentiality. It is not to be inquired, disseminated, described, or spied.
    “Security Clearance: Pope, Team A researchers, and Archbishop of the Backlund diocese (Note: When the archbishop is transferred out of the Backlund diocese, the corresponding memories have to be wiped out using Sealed Artifact 1-29).
    “Sealed Method: The seal is completed through the combination of 1-29 and 1-80.
    “Description: This isn’t an item.
    “This is a living angel.
    “‘Her’ appearance is beautiful with black hair and eyes. Looks like a young woman, but ‘Her’ actual age cannot be estimated.
    “…’She’ doesn’t have the wings recorded in canon. Just from ‘Her’ appearance, ‘She’ is no different from an ordinary person.
    “… She does not have the ability to think and has lost all sentience.
    “… Anyone and everything that comes close to ‘Her’ will completely disappear… Through divination and other methods, it can be confirmed that they’re still alive but are impossible to locate. Currently, 1825 methods have been attempted, with every one of them failing.
    “…0-17’s range of influence will expand and contract without any pattern. Currently, it has caused more than 70 researchers to vanish.”

    “Warning: ‘She’ cannot be used!”
    “Appendix 1: This Sealed Artifact first appeared in the Pale Era of the Fourth Epoch.
    Exact year: Missing.
    Exact date: Missing.
    Exaction location: Missing”
    “Appendix 2: Based on the information, ‘She’ has been awakened five times.

    Traveler? I thought Nimblewright was next? .. Or is that the one after Traveler?.. Weird.

    ...

    It was cool to see the churches come out on top for once. They were still kind of reactionary - like that have been for all the big events so far. But they were quick to react and extremely thorough. Blowing away the smog? "Erasing" pretty much everyone involved? Not even the butler was spared, lol, and the demoness didn't escape. They wrapped it up nicely. Not at all like, say, the Duke's assassination or Tingen. ... Even if Zangwill did manage to slip away again.

    Granted, it was all the doing of that sealed artifact and church members didn't do squat.

    One interesting things to note, though: The people who disappeared are (apparently) still alive, so we probably haven't seen the last of them. My first guess is the region around the City of Silver.

    ...? Why would he take that one. Rather, I was under the impression that the cross-compatibility only appears at higher sequences anyway, so he couldn't?

    And he has a characteristic for Nimblewright - he doesn't even need the ingredients! His plan is literally to find mermaids and absorb it. Becoming a Nimblewright. How would he suddenly end up deviating into Traveler?

    The title of each volume based on the plot of the said volume, so the author will use the name of any sequences that fits the plot of the said volume. Not based on the potion klein will consume

    Oh. You're talking about the volume titles. D'oh. I misunderstood.

    Traveler, huh... I wonder if this one will have something to do with Mr. Door, then.

    It's gonna take a while for him to find the Mermaid ingredient so until then, he's going to spend his time traveling and pulling more stunts.
    Haha, Why so vague, Seems The Honorable Mr.Vague Mr.Fool has rubbed off on you! :D

    The titles of the volumes are each named after a sequence name, and the first two just happened to be part of Klein's pathway. The author just uses whatever he wants to fit the themes and the plots of the volume.

    For example (based on author's note)
    The title Faceless refers not just to Klein's promotion to sequence 6 Faceless, but also to the faceless people who lived and died on East Backlund as some of the backbone members of society. Although their stories were rarely known, their contributions were invaluable.

    It's also probably about how he lives under several disguises through the volume. Klein has been faceless for awhile, in many senses of the word. It's not just about the potion. Similarly, Clown was probably as much about the traumatic events he experienced and his decision to live with a smile through the pain. And his failures in the face of Fate.

    Yep, the author mentioned that as well for his note about clown after the end of volume 1.

    Based on that, we can guess that since the third volume is called Traveler, there will be some traveling done, but perhaps also a deeper meaning, maybe something like a spiritual journey?

    Well he mentioned going out to sea, and the mermaids (apparently) only appear at the very boundaries of human civilization. So maybe it's about discovery? Exploring uninhabited places? ... Tho, that'd be more 'explorer' than 'traveler,' I think.

    Maybe it'll be about never settling down in one place for long. Always on the move.

    Not truly connected to any one place any more. No home.
