In an uproar, the maid refilled a cup of hot tea for Hailu and Ivy, as if to take care of the tastes of the two, and deliberately chose black tea.

It was not the patriarch of the Niu family who greeted the two, after all, the patriarch was not so idle, it was Niu Shanghua's parents who greeted the two, and Niu Shanghua's parents were naturally very happy.

"Oh, I didn't expect my family to be able to make friends, it's great. The husband and wife were very kind, and they didn't understand the real purpose of Ivy and Helen coming to Niu's house.

But this is not in the way, because as long as they come to Niu's house and enter this door, the purpose of the two has been achieved, so no matter what they do in Niu's house, it is the same. It's better to say that drinking tea and chatting like this is much better than intriguing with the high-level executives of the Niu family.

After a period of conversation, the sky gradually darkened, and Helen and Ivy said goodbye to Niu Xianghua's parents and left the Niu family.

After confirming that Ivy and Helen were leaving, a middle-aged man left from the back of the house.

Ivy and Helen got into the carriage, and the shadow kept following them, but kept a certain distance so that they wouldn't find out.

The middle-aged man's heart did not fluctuate at this time, because it was very easy to track two low-level professionals with his strength, but - what about others?

The carriage stopped in front of the line waiting for the "signal light", and the black shadow also stopped, although he was far stronger than these two targets, but it was better to be cautious, the middle-aged man hid next to an alley.

"Brother, would you like a cigarette?"

The middle-aged man secretly screamed in his heart, but the soles of his feet were like being filled with lead, so he couldn't move half a minute, and a black-robed man slowly appeared in front of him.

"Here's one. The middle-aged man smiled, knowing that he couldn't run away.

The black-robed man reached out and took out a cigarette roll, which had already been lit.

The middle-aged man took it and took a deep breath, slowly exhaling the cigarette.

"When did you come?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Two days ago, with them. ”

"Alas~, I didn't expect it, I've been here all my life. You seem right that the organization is so wary. ”

"So, why don't you tell me about you? ”

"Okay~ Say it. The middle-aged man sighed.

"Tell me when you wanted to make a 'revolution'? You should be just a bunch of mechanics. ”

"Well, I don't know exactly how it was from about 10 years ago, but it all started with that book. ”

"The Necronomicon?"

"Well, you know the Necronomicon, that's easy to say. The middle-aged man took another deep puff of his cigarette.

"I'm just a peripheral member, so I don't know very well and there may be something wrong. ”

"It's okay, let's talk about it, let's talk. ”

The middle-aged man said with a wry smile.

"It's true that we are all mechanics, and in the beginning we just wanted to change the world through technology, so that farmers could easily farm, and civilians could stand up and not be oppressed by the powerful. ”

"Well, I know that there are such people at all times. ”

"But with the current science and technology, it is still too difficult to use pure machinery to fight Mana, even if you are a mechanic, you must first have a certain level of Mana. ”

"Uh-huh~"

So we wanted to work on a machine that relied entirely on external forces, but a nobleman discovered it. ”

"I don't think it's a conflict. ”

"No, you can't imagine that being able to create a machine that doesn't require a Mana drive is itself touching the authority of the nobility. ”

“······”

"We were suppressed, our papers were rejected in all respects, and our president began to study more deeply in order to find a solution. And at that time, maybe it was an accident, maybe it was providence, a book, to be precise, a few pages of a book that our president got by chance. ”

"Necronomicon ······"

"Yes, it's weird, isn't it? I know the name of the book before I have even seen the cover of the book. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took another puff of his cigarette.

"It took the president more than a year to study it, but there was no progress, but one day, the president knew how to read the Necronomicon as if he had been enlightened, and from then on, the president was like a different person. ”

"He started inventing a lot of things that we didn't hear of, but it wasn't enough. ”

"So you started collecting more Necronomicon books, and just three years ago, all the Necronomicon books suddenly changed, and you, too, know - me. ”

"Ah, that's right, from that time on, as long as you have the Necronomicon in your hand, you can sense the location of other Necronomicon books, but if you say good or not, the president will not look for the Necronomicon instead, but hope to find you. ”

"So, instead of inviting me directly, you want to harm me and the people around me?"

"Yes, I'm also curious why a person I didn't know was so valued by the president, at first, we didn't want to harm you, knowing that you had joined the nobility. ”

“？？？”

“？”

"Ha, I see, we were deceived. ”

"I see, that's how they explained it to you. The black-robed man seemed to smile, and it was a kind of mocking smile.

"Don't, don't do this, I'm very uncomfortable. ”

"It's fine, but I can't tell you the truth. ”

"Ha, more is better than less, it's better not to know. ”

"I want to ask one thing. The middle-aged man suddenly changed his words.

"Ask what?"

"What the hell are we doing? Over the years I think we've ······ Forget what we were going to do in the first place, we're just expanding our power now, and then what? messing up the world? reshuffling the continent? but ·······"

The middle-aged man paused.

"At the end of the day, it's just another big cycle, nothing changes. ”

"Changing the pattern of the world is not your goal for a long time, it is just a reason, on the battlefield that you can't see, the war has already begun. And I, on the other hand, am at the center of the maelstrom of this conflict. ”

"Just for a book?"

"No······ The Necronomicon is important because it contains all the knowledge, and that knowledge is the key to the ultimate goal, and that's it. ”

"Key?" the middle-aged man suddenly thought of something, but shook his head.

"I'm afraid, that's not something that ordinary people can participate in. ”

"In their presence, heresies, gods, are like ants on the earth, and that's the limit I can tell you. ”

The middle-aged man finished the cigarette in his hand and threw it to the ground.

"Any last words?"

"It's gone. ”

"Farewell. ”
