Chapter 168: Vincent's Request
After hearing Vincent's words, Claire was stunned for a few seconds, and then decisively refused: "No." β
What Vincent meant when he went to Bauhinia Pass with him was, of course, what he meant to be a ranger with him. But with someone like Vincent, I'm afraid his ears can be cocooned by Vincent. And, as with Maddie's question, Vincent himself is the son of Count Lot, how could he possibly make him a Ranger? In other words, he asked Krar to help him secretly become a ranger, and Kraal naturally wouldn't agree.
"Oh? Then do you still want to know Ai, Ai, what is that Ai? β
"Iverson." Claire only felt as if her temples were about to burst.
"Yes, Iverson," Vincent snapped his fingers, "you don't want to know his whereabouts?" β
Claire shifted her body back, clasped her hands on her chest, and said, "How do I know you're not kidding me?" 'Flame Fraudster'? β
"Tsk, don't say such a shameful title, okay? What liar would say he's a liar? Vincent covered his face, but took out a sheepskin scroll from the spatial ring, with faint traces of dried blood on it.
I saw Vincent casually toss the scroll to Clal, "Check it yourself." β
Claire caught the scroll with one hand and opened it, there was only one first-order earth-based magic on it, Claire was a magician specializing in earth-based magic, and recognized it as a magical "memory storage" at a glance, so he pressed his hand to read the spiritual fragments left behind.
I saw a brownish-yellow light flickering, and Claire's eyes flashed with brown light, and there was an extra memory in his mind that didn't belong to him.
Vincent just calmly picked up his glass and took a sip of red wine, the soft touch was like a fine massage for his tongue, first slightly sweet, then sour, at this time the wine had entered his throat, and suddenly a warm air rushed up, and the rich smell of alcohol made Vincent can't help but squint his eyes.
AndrΓ©va is one of the most suitable areas for growing grapes, with seven of the ten best wines in the empire coming from here, and Vincennes is drinking the fourth-ranked wine, Margaux, from ChΓ’teau Margaux in the province of Delinaux in the Andva region, which is known for its strong stamina.
When Vincent put down the wine glass in his hand, Claire stared at Vinson with a pair of eyes, held the parchment roll in his hand until it was deformed, and clenched his teeth and made a sound: "Who saw this?" Where is it? And how did you find out? Tell me all. β
In the memory he saw just now, although it was very vague, the action was very similar to Iverson, and more importantly, there was a demon standing next to Iverson!
Vincent looked at Claire's gaffe, as if he had made some major discovery, and said in surprise: "So a man like you would show such an expression?" β
Claire got up and grabbed Vincent's collar, and the wooden chair behind him fell to the ground with a "clang" sound. And in the next moment, there were already two more men in black beside Klar, and the daggers in their hands were against Klar's neck and the back of the heart, as long as Klar acted rashly, he would die on the spot.
However, Vincent didn't have a nervous look on his face, and let Claire tug at his collar, just looked at a broken button distressedly, and said, "Don't be so excited, can you sit down and talk about it?" β
Claire glanced at the two men in black, and slowly let go of the hand that was holding Vincent's collar, and the two men in black disappeared into the darkness again.
Vincent sat down again, straightened his collar, and said, "It seems that that man is really important to you." So now can you promise me to take me to Bauhinia Pass? β
Claire gritted her teeth, picked up her chair and sat down and asked, "You lazy young master, why did you think of running away to be a ranger?" β
Vincent smiled, his eyes lit up, and said, "Because I want to see the world outside the empire!" β
"I've almost played the entire empire now, and only the outside world has not seen it, do you think I'll be willing?"
Clair was speechless: "You yourself have said that the Ranger is dangerous, what if you die outside the gate?" β
"With my strength, how can I die outside?" Vincent shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed expression, "If I really die outside the gate, then it can only be said that my life should be like this." But if I stay in the empire until I die, then it is really better to live than to die. β
For Vincent's thoughts, Claire, who was born in poverty, couldn't understand it at all, and just looked at Vincent coldly and said, "Do you think you've lived too long?" β
Vincent didn't want to talk nonsense, and slapped the table with a rainbow of momentum: "Hurry up, do you agree?" β
Claire struggled for a long time, and the information about Iverson finally prevailed, and he exhaled a turbid breath and said, "I promise you." But how are you going to hide from Count Lot? β
Vincent spread his hands casually and said, "By then, I will already be in the Bauhinia Pass, what can he do with me?" β
Claire recalled the strength of the man in black, but he had more insurance, so he nodded and said, "Then so be it." Now it's your turn to answer my question. β
Vincent snorted lightly, "Hey, did you earn my title of 'Flame Fraudster' for nothing?" I will naturally tell you when I get to Bauhinia Pass. β
Claire gritted her teeth and asked, "Then at least tell me, is he still alive now?" β
Vincent shrugged: "At least four months ago, I was alive." How do I know now? β
Claire's face was cloudy, and the harvest of this trip was not small, but it also involved more questions, the biggest question was why Iverson was with the demon, could it be that he had betrayed humans in order to survive?
Claire looked at Vincent, but knew that according to his personality, he would not reveal more details to him, so he asked, "Is there anything else?" β
"Of course," Vincent said, gesturing to the approaching waiter, "and the steak, do you want to eat it?" β
Clair watched as the waiter brought two tempting steaks to the table, but at this time he still had no appetite to eat, and got up and said, "Then I'll go first." β
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Vincent waved his hand and said, "Then I won't send you." Seeing this, Clal left on his own, and since Vincent could find out about it, maybe he could find out the clues, so he could only ask Maddie to investigate.
Seeing Claire leaving, Vincent put down the knife and fork in his hand, shivered, and then sent the waiter to say, "I froze to death, I knew that I wouldn't be here." Hey, come here and get all this in the house! β

The Top 10 will last for two days to determine the final five teams, and as for the final match, it is said that they will have to wait until the Holy Grail is full of stars to start, so Kraal did not continue to let the crowd train, but gave them two days to move freely and enjoy the unique charm of the ancient city of Castro.
Kenneth hadn't been with the people in Phil for a long time, so he wanted to take the opportunity to visit Castro with his friends, so after watching the second day's game, they proposed to go to the Castro Cathedral, which is second only to St. Peter's Basilica in Calvin. Seeing that it was Kenneth's proposal, Marcus thought about it and did not object, and went with the others.
Located in the north of the city, the Church of Castro preaches the concept of joining the WTO, and does not build the church outside the city, but is close to people's daily life. It took about an hour for the group to finally arrive at the square in front of the church, and they were shocked by the magnificent architectural style of the church for a while.
After yesterday's confession, the relationship between Mick and Jasmine couldn't go any further, but fortunately, it wasn't too rusty, the relationship between the two made Mona scratch her head for a while, and she didn't have time to ask Jasmine what happened after the party last night, and she didn't know what the relationship between the two was now, so she had to endure asking Jasmine again at night.
None of the group was Anglican, but through the tall, unusually human gate, through the quiet foyer, and listening to the gentle or majestic chants in their ears, everyone except Marcus naturally restrained their casual attitudes, lightened their breathing and footsteps, and then, guided by a priest, walked slowly west through a long, high passage to an altar. Above the altar, a cross made of a cross star stands on top of the altar, behind which are floor-to-ceiling windows made of colorful glass.
In the Gospel of the State Religion, the creator god Larial can be transformed into the appearance of all things in the world, and its final incarnation is the four holy stars, so the Holy Cross has become an important symbol of the state religion. However, there are also Four Sacred Star Cultists who simply believe in the Four Holy Stars, and they are called "blind believers" by the State Religion, which means that they regard the Four Holy Star Sect as a branch of the State Religion, and they can tolerate its existence.
Although the group was not a devout member of the state religion, they also sat down on the benches in front of the altar with respect, and began to pray according to the priest's movements. Marcas, who was completely religious, stood outside the door, impatiently waiting for the prayers to end.
At this time, a young man in a white robe walked to the door, and when he saw Marcus standing at the door but did not enter it, he frowned and asked, "It is rude to see the Lord not to worship, and it is even more rude not to pray sincerely to wash away his sins." β
Marcas saw that the person in front of him looked weak, and he didn't pay attention to him, and chose to ignore it.
It's just that Marcus's attitude made the man even more dissatisfied, so he said to Marcus, "If you don't pray, I want you to get out of here." β
Marcus said impatiently: "You care so much about me? Hurry up while I'm still in the mood. β
The young man frowned when he heard this, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Marcus's clothes, and threw Marcas out directly!
