The question of how important parents are to their children is self-evident. But for Nick, the death of his parents was the greatest pain of his life. After many years, he finally came to terms with the situation. So when he saw the woman, he didn't recognize it for a while.

"Nick, don't you recognize me?" The woman spoke. The familiar voice stunned Nick for a moment.

To be honest, Lin Xuan didn't expect that it was actually the rebels who followed behind. He had thought it was a remnant of the Darkclaw, or a branch of the royal family. It's just that if you think about it, the appearance of the rebels is also a matter of course.

The main forces in the world of Grimm, the royal family, the Darkclaw, and the Resistance. The first two have already been played bad by Lin Xuan, and it is time for the rebels to appear. It's just that it was obviously not a very wise choice for them to target Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan and the others chose to get out of the way and gave time to Nick's mother and son. It's not a good time to meet, but in a sense. There may never be a suitable opportunity, so they meet in this situation after all.

"For many years, I thought you were dead. But you are in front of me again in this situation. So, aren't you going to explain? ”

"I'm sorry Nick, no matter how I explain it, it's a disservice to you. All I can say is that between letting you survive and being a qualified mother, I chose the former. The situation was complicated at the time, and I couldn't guarantee your safety, so I chose to leave. All their attention was on me, and it was only with you that you escaped the hunt. ”

"Who is chasing us?"

"We're Green, and we have too many enemies. When they were united, you were young, and your father was just an ordinary person. I can't protect you. So I made my choice. ”

"What about those people? How's it going now. Nick said this, and the murderous aura on his face made people dare not look at it directly.

"It's over, and I've spent years tracking them down. All those involved in that year are dead. I don't want you to go through the same hateful life as I do, and I don't even want you to be Green. It's just that as fate always goes, you still became Grimm, and you are known as the strongest Grimm of the younger generation. ”

"I met some very good friends who helped me tremendously."

"Then you're much luckier than me."

The scene fell silent again. Nearly 20 years of separation still caused a barrier in their communication. It will take time for the scars caused by this age to heal slowly.

After a long time, it was Nick who spoke first.

"Let's go, a lot of people are waiting for us."

"Yes."

The group set out on the way home, but this time the atmosphere became a little awkward. Nick and his mother were silent. His mother tried to stir up the topic several times, but in the end she suppressed it.

The long plane time is over. The group returned to Lin Xuan's bar. Now Nick and the others have also defaulted to this place as a gathering point.

Lin Xuan took out the box. The breathing in the room became heavy. The secret that has been dormant for seven centuries is in front of us, and anyone will be thrilled. Even Juliet, who has been stuffy in the house these days and doesn't go out, can't help her curiosity and comes to watch.

Monroe also brought his girlfriend Rosalie. During Nick's absence, the troublesome ghost who had been maintaining order in Portland's underground in place of Nick also returned. Even Renard, who was far away in Vienna, rushed back as soon as he learned of their hand. He was joined by his female lawyer, Ada Ling.

In the original book, Adaling is the protagonist of the later plot. But under Lin Xuan's butterfly effect, she didn't have much intersection with Nick's life, and naturally there were no later reversals. In addition, Paul, Babulu, and others have all returned to witness the biggest secret of the world.

Lin Xuan knew what was inside. So he endured it, wondering what kind of expression everyone had when they knew that it was just a broken wooden stick inside.

Through six keys, as well as Monroe's unlocking technology. Successfully opened all the locks. But unexpectedly, the box still won't open.

"The box was sealed by the Seven Great Green Families. Nick, give it a try with your blood. ”

Nick scratched his finger and smeared it along the cracks in the box. After the Blood of Grimm touches the chest. Lin Xuan felt a subtle fluctuation of magic power. It's also a bloodline magic. It's a bit similar to the royal one. It's just that this one is obviously some kind of sealing magic.

A puff of white smoke spreads out. The box shook visibly. At this time, Lin Xuan tried to open the box again, and the result was very successful.

Inside the box was a worn-out roll of sheepskin wrapped around something. After opening the sheepskin, a small wooden stick appeared in front of everyone's eyes. That's right, it's a small wooden stick. It is about 20 centimeters long and has a wooden stick the thickness of a thumb.

"Uh, a wooden stick?" It was not known in the crowd who had raised such a question.

"Looks like so."

"What's the use of it."

"I don't know, maybe it's just a prank."

......

There was a lot of discussion, but the previous enthusiasm had obviously faded. After all, this thing is so inconspicuous. Neither in that way can be connected to a centuries-old secret.

"This is no ordinary wood. I could feel it, it was magical. It's unbelievable. ”

Lin Xuan said, and a finger lightly tapped on the wooden stick. A wave of magic was sent into the stick.

Suddenly, a violent magic suddenly erupted with the wooden stick as the core. However, Lin Xuan had already prepared, and he put away the parchment roll in advance. and planted a defensive barrier around the table.

In a space with a diameter of about two meters, the violent magic power was churning uncontrollably. In just a few seconds, the entire table had been reduced to powder. Across Lin Xuan's defensive barrier, there was no power spilling out. But silently, the terrifying destructive power still frightened everyone. In the end, the fluctuation of magic gradually subsided, and the stick fell to the ground and returned to its inconspicuous appearance. But this time, no one dared to underestimate it again. Although no one was injured under Lin Xuan's protection, the picture of tearing everything apart was still terrifying.

"What the hell is this?" This time no one thought it was an ordinary stick.

"It's incomplete. This is just a small part of a larger object. That's why its power is so uncontrollable. I guess the Grimm family sealed it in the first place, because they didn't want to make that thing whole. ”

"How do you know that?"

"My heritage has something to do with it, and I've seen some legends about it in some ancient books before. In the distant past, there were some higher and more powerful beings in this world. Their deeds were passed down to future generations, and they were called gods, or demons. In their time there was one thing that was preserved. It was a scepter. ”

"What does the scepter have to do with this?"

"In later generations, this scepter has appeared in the human world many times. Everyone who gets him has been the dominant character in history. Solomon, Alexander, King Arthur. But because this scepter is too powerful for ordinary people. At one time, the scepter was dismantled. It is said that it was divided into hundreds and hidden all over the world. ”

"You mean it's one of those pieces? What about the others? We have never heard of these legends. ”

"These things have never really been recorded. Only in my world. ”

"Your world?"

"If you compare the world of Grimm's creatures to the world of the inside. My world is the deeper world. It's like the dark web on the web, like the deep web. We carry on these hidden events and make sure that something doesn't spread. ”

"Did you collect the other parts?"

"Unfortunately, not. In fact, there was a guy who came close to collecting the scepter before us. I don't know what it is, but according to some obscure legends, it seems to be something from another world. Get closer to the legendary demons of the people. Fortunately, the Grimm family at that time sealed the last part, so the last thing was expelled by many wizards at the time. It's a pity that Nick's family doesn't seem to have passed down the true meaning of this thing. After all, Green's job is just too dangerous. It's easy to break the lineage. But I think there should be some clues in those Grimm's legacy books. ”

"So that's why you contacted me?" Nick asked.

"Partly, in fact, the part about the scepter is not the point. The real key was the thing that had almost the entire scepter in the first place. Based on the information I have, it's likely that the thing isn't dead. There's a chance he'll come back. ”

"A demon from another world is coming to our world. What are you going to do, destroy the world? ”

"If he does get the full scepter, then maybe. After all, it was something left over from a higher life, and we couldn't imagine what would happen if it was in the hands of a demon from another world. But I'm sure it's not a good thing. ”

"Do you know when he'll be back?"

"I don't know, but I think the clue is on this piece of parchment. If I'm not mistaken, this is a prophecy. ”

"Prophecy, but there's nothing on it." Nick and the others were confused by Lin Xuan.

"Adaling, you can try it, can you see it?"

"Me?" Ada Ling stepped forward and gave it a try.

"No, I can't see anything."

"Concentrate and try to bring the magic to your eyes."

"I see, yes, a couple of strange symbols."

"How many?"

"Three, one here, one here, and one here." Ada pointed on the parchment.

"It's already pretty good. There is some kind of magic attached to this piece of paper. Even the patterns themselves have a magical power. Only creatures that are also capable of using magic can see them. I can see it all, but the problem is that it takes some time to unravel the hidden information. Hopefully, it's still too late. ”

What happened tonight was subversive for everyone. Whether it's for the existence of gods and demons, or for monsters from another dimension. and the supernatural stick that actually appeared in front of them, all of which heralded their entry into a world that had never been seen before.

The crowd left with a myriad of questions, but one thing was for sure, everyone in the room was probably going to lose sleep tonight.
