Sean's cold voice suddenly sounded, causing the entire bar to fall silent, and then everyone present laughed again, except for the bar owner, of course.

The boss who restrained his smile slowly approached Sean with a gloomy face, and the two who had no words looked at each other's pupils, and for a while the atmosphere of the entire bar froze, and when the black-clothed bodyguards who followed the boss were about to pull out their guns, an unexpected scene happened.

Both of their tense faces were smiling brightly at the same time, and after a big hug, Sean took the lead and said, "Long time no see, Harris." ”

Hearing this, Harris's fat face showed a hint of remembrance and said, "yes, long time no see, Sean." ”

In the disappointment of the guests and the joy of Harris's men, Harris dragged Sean to the room behind the bar, which is not a lot of space, but the decoration is very luxurious.

When Sean looked at the strange and strange statue hanging on the wall of the room, he couldn't help but say to Harris, who was sitting in the main seat, "Fatty, you have a very unique taste. ”

Harris was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "It's just decorations, besides, don't look at them strangely, but the price is scary." ”

"You haven't given up on your old ideas. Sean picked up another wooden sculpture with a wolf's head and a fish's body, and asked casually while observing, "By the way, what about little Jasmine and Mars?"

Hearing this, Harris's originally smiling face became gloomy in a blink of an eye, his eyes showed unbearable sadness, and he said in a hoarse voice: "They are dead..."

He's dead?

An unspeakable feeling welled up in his heart, and Sean also remembered the thin little girl in a dusty white dress with sky-blue eyes, who was arguing over and over again to marry me when she grew up, and the little boy who was always hostile to her by her side.

"I'm sorry, Harris..."

Hearing Sean's apologetic voice, Harris shook his head, "I should say I'm sorry, I didn't protect them, after we were kicked out of Dirk Town, we took the 5 gold eagle coins you stole and prepared to mix up a world in the steam capital, but the reality slapped me hard, I inadvertently offended the leader of a small gang, hehe..."

Even if Harris's words are not finished, Sean understands what will happen next, with Harris's current status, the gang leader has long been sunk to the bottom of the sea, but can the former partner come back?

Harris poured a sip of bright red glucose wine, his black eyes gradually converged with murderous intent, and said to Sean kindly: "By the way, what's the matter with your injury, do you want me to help?"

"Hurt?" Sean looked down at the splint on his right hand and said with a dumb smile, "No, he's dead." ”

"There's your style. Harris refilled himself with another glass of glucose wine, "Anyway, what did you come to me today, after all, this is not like the style of your visit." ”

"I'm helping the police investigate a case now, and by the way, I'm helping you solve a troublesome matter. ”

"Police?" Harris rubbed his temples and said with a bitter face, "I'm annoyed when I hear that." ”

"I'm about the same. After saying that, the two laughed in unison.

Then Sean suppressed his smile and asked, "One of your men died last night, the one in the Fifth Block, and I want to ask about his identity." ”

"Fifth Block, Eminem?" Harris shook his glass and mused, "He's dead?"

"Well, there were also Black Shark people killed on the same day. ”

"I said why the Black Shark people came to me early in the morning to make trouble. Harris said thoughtfully, "Sean, did you say that someone is provoking us, because there has been a bit of a conflict of interest with Black Shark recently. ”

"No, it should be their former accomplices who killed them. Sean looked at Harris and shook his head and explained, "It's possible that they were all pirates before. ”

"So you're here to ask me about Eminem's identity?"

"Yes. ”

"Let me think about it..."Harris muttered while rubbing his temples, "Eminem, I don't know much about his identity, he joined me two years ago, although he is greedy, but he is good at fighting, so I left him, by the way, there is a red-eyed skull tattooed on his arm, and then I don't think it fits the identity of our gang, so I have someone shave him and tattoo a manta ray." ”

Red-eyed skulls?

Sean felt another pain in his brain when he heard these words, and there were countless pirates with such tattoos, thinking of this, he could only say to Harris: "It seems that I have to go to Black Shark to inquire again." ”

"They're not as easy to deal with as I am. Harris said with a strange smile, "Besides, you don't enjoy a good dinner with your old friends?"

"Dinner?" Although Sean's face moved, he still endured, "I'm afraid that after eating your dinner, I won't have the next dinner." ”

"Woman, female police officer?"

Harris looked at Sean, who nodded, and immediately said with an ambiguous smile: "Then I won't keep you." ”

Saying goodbye to Harris with a strange smile, Sean did not immediately go to Black Shark's stronghold, first, it was getting late, and second, he did not have enough weapons on him, as Harris said, Black Shark is not as good at talking as him.

As Shaun strolled down the streets, he watched the undulating buildings on both sides, and as the night fell, the entire noisy East End gradually washed away the lead and turned into tranquility, of course, ignoring the street girls on both sides who were showing off to him and the occasional beatings and insults in the alleys.

I don't know if it's because of the potions, Sean subconsciously avoided the lights, and he felt a strong sense of security in the darkness, and he could clearly feel the speed of the flow of magic power.

"Photophobia. ”

A term popped up in my mind, the self-resistance of the low-level death path magician to the light.

Sean, who was standing in the shadows, thought of this, and looked at the dim street lamp in a daze, until this moment he found that he was not only changing physically, but also in his heart, and he had unknowingly lost the fear of darkness that ordinary people had since ancient times when he opened it.

Soon after recovering his senses, Sean withdrew his gaze, no longer looked at the light that disgusted him, and his face rose with indescribable emotion, and continued to walk alone in silence in the dark, he did not go to the police station to meet Vivian, but walked back to the residence alone.

Pulling out the key to open the door and putting away his hat and umbrella, Sean looked up at the 7:30 p.m. wall clock and felt a wave of jaw-dropping, it only took him an hour to walk home from the East End, and it was strange that his body did not feel tired.

Sneaking into the living room and noticing that the refreshed Anna was elegantly drinking tea and reading the newspaper, Sean grabbed Anna before she could speak, and said, "Ms. Anna, you look so beautiful today." ”

"You'd better keep it for some little girl, like Sheriff Vivien. Anna was not confused by Sean's sweet words, and said coldly, "Did you join them?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide, Sean could only nod his head and say, "Yes, Anna, I'm a real magician now." ”

"Magician. ”

Anna froze for a moment when she heard this word, she remembered that the blonde figure had said something like that ten years ago, and the same expression as Sean now was, excitement, yearning, and hidden fear.

Tears instantly appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he subconsciously took Sean's hand, felt the temperature from his hand, and muttered: "Sean, you have to remember that the path of a magician is not only crazy and dangerous, but also lonely. ”

Lonely?

Before Sean could savor the words, he was dragged to the restaurant by Anna and began to enjoy a rich dinner.

After the meal, Anna didn't ask about the previous topic, but instead asked, "Sean, it's almost the weekend, how are you preparing for the party?" ”

"Uh..." Sean, who had a satisfied look, immediately hung up a little bead of sweat, because he had completely forgotten about it.

Anna, who saw the sudden change in his face, also instantly read his thoughts, "I'll arrange the party, then do you still want to participate?"

"Uh... I'm supposed to help Vivien with her case... So..."

"Well, I'll arrange it. Anna nodded solemnly and said, "But Mr. Sean, as the host, you are not at home, and it is very rude to entertain guests." ”

"Yes, yes, yes..." Hearing Anna speak so politely, Sean didn't understand that this was Anna's dissatisfaction with himself, so he could only quickly nod and admit his mistake.

Anna shook her head with a sigh for Sean, who knew that he could change his mistakes and make a mistake next time, solemnly handed a metal piece in the shape of a camphor leaf to Sean, and then turned around and began to pack up the utensils on the table and go to the kitchen.

Sean, who subconsciously caught this piece of metal, secretly said that it was not good, and when he was about to throw it out, he found that the talisman in his hand did not cause harm to himself as he imagined, on the contrary, he could feel the strong vitality and warmth from above.

Sean, who spread out his hands and looked at the talisman in a daze, felt a little unbelievable for a while, after all, Terry, who was also a way of death, died under this small talisman, why did he not have the slightest abnormality, on the contrary, he even felt a chic warmth.

Sean, who couldn't figure it out, could only hang the amulet back around his neck, say goodnight to Anna, strode upstairs, and after returning to his room, he didn't have the idea of lighting the gas lamp in the house, and directly changed into pajamas and lay on his own small bed.

Lying on the bed quietly looking at the moonlight outside the window, Sean had a feeling of letting go of his burden, after all, only here can he remove all his disguises, at this moment he is no longer the son that Anna is worried about, not the best partner in Vivian's eyes, or a lover?

Syllable!

Sean suddenly slapped himself on the forehead, although the relationship between the two gradually became clearer, but the identity is still the gap between the two, he is just a commoner of unknown origin, and Vivien is the daughter of the earl, the heir of the future thorn bird.

Thinking of this, I saw him suddenly stretch out his left hand and grab it into the air hard, at this moment Sean suddenly realized that joining the Night's Watch was not only for his brother, but also for Vivien, but was this path really correct?

While Sean was torturing himself, there was a sudden and rapid knock on the door, and when he got up and opened the door, he found Anna holding a steaming cup of bitter potion and said, "Drink it." ”

"I'm healed, Anna, really, you see. Saying that, Sean deliberately waved his right hand to show his flexibility.

"Drink it. ”

“...”

For Anna's indifference and perseverance, Sean had no choice but to pour the potion down with a bitter face, looking at the old lady who took the cup and left, he could only close the door lightly, venting at the same time for fear that Anna would be discovered.

As Sean was about to fall asleep, he was back in bed when he remembered that Elf had told him this morning that they had organized the Dark Star Society, which was originally made up of magicians from the Night and Sun pathways, and the Crimson Society was made up of magicians of war and order.

Storm Society?

The Storm Society and the Unicorn Society are in a hostile relationship, the unicorns are mainly magicians of the life pathway, and the storm is the ocean pathway, they seem to have no conflict with each other, but the gods they believe in are hostile.

The Goddess of Life and the Lord of the Storm?

The Lord of the Storm rules the seas and lightning, and the Goddess of Life controls life and creation.

No, and the earth,

The goddess of life swallowed up the authority of the earth in the divine war, so does it mean that there should have been an eighth path, the earth path?

Night and the sun, war and order, sea and earth, life and death.

These eight pathways seem to be in opposition to each other, but in fact they are interdependent, like the rules by which the world works.

For a moment, Sean's mind was complete, and he seemed to understand why he himself would not be harmed by the amulet that represented the goddess of life, but there was one thing he still couldn't figure out was why Terry was afraid of sunlight and life.

After all, Captain Elf and the information he received from the potions stated that there was no effect other than a dislike of sunlight and the weakening of his magic power under the sun.

Is it a rare reason to believe in the ancient god Terry?

Sean didn't dare to make up his mind about the Old Gods when he didn't get a chance to ask Elf about the Old Gods, but it was enough for him to be wary of these guys who believed in the Old Gods, because he clearly remembered the obvious hatred and murderous intent when the captain spoke out about the Last Church.

The Church of the End.

After finishing his thoughts, Sean kept reminding himself to be careful of this organization on the road in the future, and at the same time began to empty his mind and prepare to sleep, what happened in the last few days had no small impact on him.

I don't know how long later, Sean, who was sleeping peacefully, suddenly felt a wet thing, constantly licking his face, like a big dog as enthusiastic as seeing his owner, scared Sean to roll over and roll out of bed.

Rubbing his eyes in a daze, Sean didn't notice the existence of other creatures in the room, and was wondering if he was dreaming, when he suddenly felt that the things that licked himself before were now constantly rubbing at his feet, and he was so frightened that he jumped back, and quickly turned on his vision, and a strange-looking creature appeared in his eyes.
