Chapter Twenty-Six: The Guilt of Failure
Daniel is an evil spirit who has been killed, summoned, transformed, and controlled.
The Book of Evil Spirits clearly records how to transform an evil spirit.
It wasn't Lord Thun who killed Daniel by mistake.
He was killed, awakened, and transformed by others.
The murderer was in that house at the time.
Thun had no understanding of the spells of the School of the Dead, and the man killed Daniel in front of him and performed a ritual to summon the spirits to transform into evil spirits. Also told him everything.
That's why Thun asked him to save Daniel!
Daniel's soul has not dissipated! It is still controlled by people, and the evil spirit is a soul body but not an undead spirit!
"Mr. Albenstock, will you come to my rescue this time?" Daniel's last voice echoed inadvertently in Al's mind
Norma is right when he says to Bico, Al is a very responsible and serious person in nature, which is a common problem of all researchers.
In his previous and present lives, Al was a lonely scholar who only knew how to study, and did not have many friends.
He is not good at socializing, and there is a blank social network, so he cherishes his friends more.
He only knows who regards him as a friend, and he treats him as a friend. Whoever is good to him, he will be better to him
This is true of Brut, this is true of Rouman, this is true of Amanda, this is true of Biko, this is true of Norma, this is true of Sotur, and the same is true of Lord Thun.
He doesn't know how to maintain relationships with his friends, he just knows how to stuff them with his best and what they want.
To be respected, to be expected, to be regarded as the only hope.
But he turned a blind eye.
After his tragic death, he also thought about giving Al one of his favorite gifts.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Albenstock. As long as it's you, it doesn't matter."
How can it be irrelevant.
How can that guilt of living up to it not matter.
It doesn't matter how you haven't slept yet.
I didn't do anything!
How can I feel at ease!!
Al, who couldn't sleep at night, cleaned up and took Boone and Ali to the Lord's Palace. Hope to find some clues here.
The entire Lord's Mansion was pitch black, and only a few lights were lit in the living room.
Boone rummaged through the rooms of the Lord's Palace, and Ali held Boone in his arms and shivered in the doorway.
"Young master, it's scary here. Lord Boone gave the useless valet a blank look, jumped out of his arms, and took a leisurely stroll, as if in his own back garden.
Al ignored him. Lord Thun's room was very neat, except for all kinds of clothes and props. The desk was filled with letters and accounts of exchanges. Most of them were reports from the knights guarding the farmstead. A lord can have four knights, and this knight is not a professional knight, but a privilege, bestowed by the nobility on the brave warrior in his name, and the knight is the most valuable asset of a nobleman. Knights are the equivalent of stepping into the aristocracy, as long as there is a quota for their allegiance. For example, if Lord Thun is promoted to a baron, he can divide the four lords, and the quota is naturally given priority to the knights who have worked hard and followed for a long time.
There are also some exchanges between members of the Magic Club, but you can see perfunctory between the lines. The disdain of genius for idiocy.
He also found a notebook with his comments on each person. On the first page, there are four knights, and the praise is not enough. Then there are the various social friends, among whom are a famous scholar, a certain businessman, and a member of the Magic Society and his name.
Last in line.
"Albenstock, a commoner, from a large family. Apprentice Mage. The idea is interesting. Assiduously and conscientiously. It's worth associating. Mind you, his magic is strange. Trustworthy. First-class mage, the school of plastic energy. ”
Al glanced at it and looked for someone else, all of whom were mean and ruthless. There is no evaluation of Hill, the president of the Magic Society, in it?
Recall what Thun had said to him when he blocked Hill's invitation for him. Al felt strange and flipped up the rest of the stuff again.
The more you deliberately avoid something, the more problematic it is.
Lord Thun, however, did not have the habit of keeping a diary among nobles. That review is probably a kind of diary.
The nobleman's secret room is not as hard to find as imagined, and the whole room is so big, unless it is really a big person with a deep background or some shady deeds. The location is within the line of sight, there is a little secret, the switch can not be moved, Al casually looked for a possible location and found it, behind an oil painting at the head of the bed, and a box popped up when he pressed it, which was full of farmsteads, shops, house deeds and golden tickets issued by the Fortune Lady Church.
Now that he had seen it, Al told Ali to put it away. Pull out the box and there is a layer of padding, and there is a box underneath. A small piece of Mithril, a few precious crushed gems. If you touch it again, there's nothing.
Al looked around and found nothing suspicious. And he turned and departed.
He passed by the bloodstained chair where Thun had died, and suddenly stopped. No one dared to come in and clean this haunted house, and blood still remained on the floor.
When Thun died, the whole house was covered with his dripping blood, even left outside. The entire floor was still dark red.
Al stepped on it and felt a slight bulge. It was very slight, and if it weren't for the strength of Al's perennial cultivation body, he wouldn't have been able to detect this feeling.
He crouched down and touched the dried bloodstains, and the bulge converged in his mind into a simple number, 27.
Thun also knows that he has an amazing memory, but what does 27 have to do with it?
27, 27 pages, 27 books, 27 numbers, 27 numbers!
The Magic Society meets ten days a week, on the seventh.
On April 27th, Hill invited him to his house, and Thun blocked it for him. Said a word
"He's dangerous. ”
Magic President Hill?
Why did Thun say so much before he died, and didn't say Hill's name directly?
Why doesn't he have Hill in his diary?
Why is there such a vagueness in the clues?
Historically, Thun had never called him by name when he instructed him to review the Magic Club for him. It's either him, or the president of the Magic Society.
Is it really Hill?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they take root and sprout.
He pretended to go to Norma again that day to ask for advice, and passed by the production line to find Sotour.
"Are you going to get acquainted with magic?"
"Oh. "It's been a long time since Sotur went to a magic meeting, and after thinking about it for a while, I remembered who Al was talking about.
"Don't call him by name, just president. Don't mention the name in the future" Inexplicably, Al also did according to Thun's strange behavior.
"Ahh Oh.. I will grow him. Not very familiar, but very welcoming. But I always feel it. There is a cold feeling, I am afraid of him, and I have not dared to take the initiative to find him" Sotur obediently changed his words.
"That cold feeling. He is not the only one, I have seen the president invite others as guests, and at the next meeting, that person also has a kind of ... The indescribable coldness is exactly the same as that of the president. ”
Al frowned and groaned. Why didn't he feel it? But when it comes to being like Hill, he does find that the people he visits later have a more or less similar temperament to Hill.
