Watson stood alone in the apse of St. Paul's Cathedral, quietly looking up at the white moonlight through the stained-glass windows.

For no reason, there was a sense of loneliness in his heart.

It was something he had never experienced in his twenty years of life, and he had never experienced it before.

He frowned, he didn't like the feeling, it made him feel like he had a weakness.

Watson gently shook his wand of the sun and moon, and the flames converged in front of him into a leaping fawn.

Reaching out and touching the fawn's head, Watson noticed that the feeling was gone.

So he fell back into deep thought.

Despite reading a lot of books, he didn't know much about the events of that time, and as the youngest chairman ever, he spent almost half of his time studying magic, and the rest only on what he thought needed attention.

Take, for example, the god of magic of the last century, James J. Laughron.

However, since their people are connected to the mirror, it is necessary to include Black Rose in the target of attention.

There was a look of excitement in Watson's gray-white pupils, the world was moving in the direction he wanted.

"Squeak—" The sumptuous red velvet door of the apse was pushed open.

"Chairman. Smith's respectful voice rang out.

"Smith. Watson turned to face the three of them, and said in his characteristic voice, "How did William die?" ”

"It's the Black Rose Man. Smith knelt down on one knee and bowed his head in reply, "When I arrived at the Eulius House Altar, William had already been confirmed dead, and the fatal wound was a magic arrow through the head with the symbol of a rose on it. I have one here, which I got in battle with the enemy. ”

Smith flipped his right hand and pulled out an arrow. The end of the arrow has three dark blue tail feathers, and the silver arrow is stained with reddish-brown blood.

Watson's eyes lit up, and the arrow flew up and hung in front of him.

"Take it to the archives and compare," Watson glanced at and handed it back to Smith, "there were a few of them." ”

"Two, one is a maiden with a bow, and the other is a young man with a sword. Smith replied, "The strength is very strong, not weaker than William, and the magician rating should have reached S." ”

"Well, tell the Europeans that they should send a team of investigations to Italy, led by a member of the Board of Directors, and produce a detailed report within three days, one each for Asia and the Americas. ”

"Yes. ”

"Okay, you go down. Smith stood up as he recoiled and left the apse.

Watson's gaze turned on Ouyang Gu and Liu Ye, and finally stopped at Ouyang Gu.

Although Ouyang Gu couldn't see it, the sudden increase in pressure made him understand that Watson's attention had shifted to him.

"Lord Chairman, may I ask, is there something wrong?" Ouyang Gu smiled calmly.

"Your eyes ......," Watson said, shaking his wand, and a soft green light swept through Ouyang Gu's eyes, "That's it, since you were injured in the mission I sent." ”

Ouyang Gu's eyes suddenly returned to clarity, he blinked, looked at his hands, and couldn't believe it.

"You can go too. ”

"Yes. Ouyang Gu turned to Liu Ye and said to him silently, "Be careful." ”

Liu Ye's eyelids drooped and he didn't speak, Ouyang Gu patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the apse.

"Liu Ye. Watson walked up to him and smiled faintly, "We're meeting again." ”

Liu Ye looked at his eyes, there was no emotion in those gray-white eyes, only an unreachable coldness, like the eyes of a stone statue.

"Your Excellency, Chairman. Liu Ye bowed his head respectfully, "What do you want to ask?"

"My problem?" Watson smiled playfully, looking sideways out of the stained glass window, "Are you in a hurry?"

Liu Ye frowned, he didn't expect Watson to say that.

"In the previous mission, I was very badly injured. Liu Ye pointed to the blood-stained bandages all over his body, "If it's okay, I hope you can allow me to go back and rest." ”

"It's the little things. Watson walked down the carpet towards the depths of the hall, the wand of the sun and moon in his hand faintly emitting a green light, "You come with me." ”

The injuries on Liu Ye's body miraculously healed quickly, and looking at Watson's back, he gently rubbed the tip of his nose and followed.

He didn't want to go against Watson if he didn't have to.

Watson walked to his seat in the back half of the center of the hall and picked up a light black metal box with many ring-shaped patterns engraved on it, and the carving was very exquisite.

"This thing. The metal box fell steadily into Liu Ye's hand, Watson gently shook his wand, and the surrounding scene changed instantly, as if they were in a kaleidoscope, surrounded by colorful geometric figures, "Do you remember?"

Liu Ye opened the lid of the box, and there was a small multi-faceted crystal on the black velvet cushion, about half a finger long, slightly thicker than a willow leaf.

There was a colorful light flowing on the surface of the crystal, Liu Ye squinted, he had no impression of this thing, but from the visual effect, it was a bit similar to the original classic "Glass Thousand Illusions" obtained in the ruins.

"No, not impressed. Liu Ye shook his head, "I've never seen it." ”

"There is a price to be paid for lying. Watson stroked his wand with the thumb of his right hand, "I'll ask you again, are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Liu Ye looked at Watson's eyes calmly, he didn't lie, and naturally he wouldn't be weak-hearted.

Watson was silent for a while, and whispered an obscure incantation, and Liu Ye's ears suddenly echoed with a tsunami-like hum.

He clutched his head in agony, and his cochlea was bleeding, but Watson had no intention of stopping.

Liu Ye was half-kneeling on the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices, his consciousness gradually blurred, he stared at Watson deadly, struggling to remove his right hand from his ear, wanting to sacrifice his life.

But the magic couldn't be gathered at all, and his mind was full of high-pitched roars, and it was difficult to concentrate.

As his consciousness gradually blurred, Liu Ye trembled, using all the strength of his body, and finally used his magic power to outline an array.

A black cross flew out of the purple-gold magic array, but it automatically disintegrated a meter in front of Watson, scattering into dots of colored light.

Liu Yeqiang's breath was relieved, he couldn't support it anymore, and fainted.

Seeing this, Watson stopped the spell, and he looked at Liu Ye, who was lying on the ground bleeding and unconscious, and frowned.

It was not what he had expected.

Can't you use this method......

Watson shook his wand of the sun and moon, and the two returned to the apse of the church, and Liu Ye immediately recovered from his injuries.

Liu Ye opened his eyes and got up from the ground, he held his head, feeling a little dizzy.

What just happened? Liu Ye looked at Watson, but couldn't remember anything.

"You can go. Watson turned his back to him, "Tomorrow you will return to Century Dawn, the British Magical Society will not entertain idlers." ”

"Yes. Liu Ye replied without hesitation, trotting all the way out of the apse, he didn't want to stay with Watson for a minute.

As soon as the front foot stepped out of the temple door, the two tall doors closed slowly and automatically.

Before the door closed, Liu Ye glanced back.

Watson stood alone in the middle of the temple, dappled in moonlight, with his back to the door, looking up at the huge magic circle on the wall.

The crimson carpet stretched from his feet to the doorway, a full hundred meters long, making him look as if he was extremely far away from the outside world.

He's like, a little lonely?

Liu Ye suddenly had a very strange thought.

However, he quickly denied himself, shook his head, and Liu Ye walked towards the guest room.
