At nightfall, in the guest rooms of the Lookout Fortress, the Lord's Mansion.

Xu Nan sat quietly on the edge of the bed and did not fall asleep.

What happened today was so unbelievable that the members of the Ninth Manor, whom he had been silently watching and guarding silently, had not appeared from beginning to end.

If it weren't for the information he got from Black Cat and Grey about Geralt and Quelrath, he would have really been kept in the dark from start to finish.

"Does the Shadow Realm's attack on Geralt mean they're really targeting Quelras?"

According to Gray, the distress letter was actually very suspicious in terms of motives; The black cat also said that Geralt's meeting with the teacher was not pleasant, and that they were supposed to leave, but it was delayed because I asked Gray to do something. ”

"What are they trying to do with Geralt? Threatening Quelas? However, is it necessary for a student to go through so much trouble? ”

Xu Nan was a little puzzled.

However, he is not in a hurry, this kind of thing is obviously a long-term conspiracy between Luguang and the people of the Ninth Manor, and the information gap between the two sides is the biggest difficulty Xu Nan faces.

There must be something he didn't know, but it was very important.

To that end, he asked Gray to keep an eye on Quelas's movements, and this time, Gray, who was said to have not closed his eyes for two days, left without saying a word.

He didn't let Xu Nan add money.

Obviously, this guy really thinks Geralt is a friend.

This is actually a very rare thing. Xu Nan has worked with Gray for a while, and he knows very well how sophisticated Gray is.

This high-ranking mercenary may still have some humanity and a bit of conscience, but he is definitely not a benevolent person; He is very defensive of everyone, even Xu Nan, Gray has never regarded him as a friend, more of an employer.

But Geralt is different.

Gray's travels of thousands of miles to escort him from Wildfire City to Lookout Fortress is enough to say a lot in itself.

"Geralt, this guy, it's really annoying him."

"I always feel like a very reliable person, even a person like me who only has a few faces, I will feel that if something happens to him and I turn a blind eye, I will have a troubled conscience."

Of course, Xu Nan understands that he will have this kind of thought, and it is definitely not because he has discovered it in his conscience - then the key is Geralt.

This seemingly ordinary middle-aged pastor is probably not ordinary.

He was suddenly more interested in Geralt and the story behind Querlas.

Unfortunately, he has no clue at the moment, except for staring at Quelas to try to find some clues, Xu Nan can only anonymously post a post on Paradise Lost's internal forum to help with the use of divination.

If it's really the hand of the Shadow Realm, it's not the most professional person who can't find it.

"I can only wait for news."

He sighed and shifted his attention to his character card.

Psychic Vision.

Suddenly, the column of gas in front of me, which represented many elements, had become much more round and full. Among them, there are three air pillars that closely fit Xu Nan's "goose eggs", and the light at the bottom is uncertain, looking ready to go.

"I didn't expect to gain so much gratitude for helping others."

"It has something to do with Mirren's situation, he may be plagued by a curse and his body is already weak; He had suffered so much pain and torture that he just wanted to pour out these things; But no one believed him, and I just gave him such a chance...... Sort of luck. ”

Thinking of Mirren's eyes before he died, Xu Nan always had some indescribable feelings in his heart.

Thinking that he was about to be freed, he silently recited the name of Tunguska, and from his point of view, he should have wanted to drag little Jasmine into the water. It's a pity that he failed, and he also hitched his own soul.

If there were no accidents, Tunguska would not have spared his soul easily.

In Xu Nan's opinion, Mirren is not a too bad person, but under the perennial repression, his personality has been very distorted.

His sanity was visibly clear, but unfortunately he eventually lost control.

Tunguska's gaze was a lingering haze for the entire Ice Wind Lord.

From this result, Quelas is the culprit.

"What is his purpose?"

Retract your thoughts.

Xu Nan opened the base "goose egg" according to the method provided by the Pink Book, and in an instant, a large number of elements rushed in.

The wonderful power began to boil in Xu Nan's body.

……

[You have obtained the advanced class - Apostle of Desire]

[Your Apostle of Desire level has been raised to level 1!] The total level is 13! 】

[You have gained 1 free attribute point]

[You gain the following spells: Faint Technique, Awakening Technique, Hyper Technique, Laughter Technique, Tear Running Technique, Mourning Technique, ......]

[You gain the following specializations: Psychic Vision (Official), Dream Weaver, Elemental Throwing Knife, Elemental Gathering, Tyrannosaurus Fist, ......]

Dense data streams flashed in front of Xu Nan's eyes.

Feeling the surging power in his body, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Apostle of Desire is very compatible with his native class, and generally speaking, this additional advancement belongs to the category of part-time, which is easily punished by the laws of the plane, and there will be part-time penalties - such as leveling up more difficult or something.

But now it seems that Xu Nan's worries are too much.

Maybe because the three professions he works in are all foreign professions, the laws of the plane are not very friendly to him in the first place, and they will not be worse now...... At least it's compatible and it works.

He's not a guy who upgrades by farming experience anyway.

The first-level apostle of desire has brought Xu Nan a considerable increase in strength.

Needless to say, these spells in the first-level spell list are very practical, whether it is support or combat, as long as they are used properly, they can have a very powerful effect.

In terms of expertise, it is even more exaggerated.

In addition to the Transcendent Vision, four specialties were also given in one go!

[Career Specialty - Dream Weaver: You can freely enter the dream realm of non-divine creatures]

[Career Specialty - Elemental Throwing Knife: You can attack directly from the superspiritual vision, consume your own elements, and attack the opponent's soul, and the weak soul may be directly obliterated! 】

[Career Expertise - Element Collection: You can collect elements from others to supplement yourself]

[Professional Expertise - Tyrannosaurus Boxing Method: Basic Self-Defense Boxing Method, Average Effect]

Among them, Xu Nan is most satisfied with the element flying knife.

This kind of attack is more dangerous, but the effect will be more significant, after all, not everyone can defend against soul-level attacks!

This was a huge addition to his own spell system, after all, he already had enough firepower in the Plastic Energy Domain.

And Dream Weaver and Element Gathering should also be good specialties. The former can enter other people's dreams, which is a good way to steal information; The latter can have the effect of accumulating elements quickly.

And the way to upgrade the apostle of desire is to keep harvesting a large number of elements.

The more elements and the faster they are absorbed, the stronger the Apostle of Desire!

This is the rule of the profession.

As for the Tyrannosaurus Fist Method...... Well, Xu Nan has become accustomed to the setting that every legal profession has to provide a set of melee self-defense techniques, which seems to be a common problem of foreign professions, as if without melee means, the casters are going to die.

He didn't expect it to work.

Generally speaking, the louder the name, the weaker the skill.

……

In the room, Xu Nan couldn't sleep for a long time.

The late-night upgrade gave him nowhere to test his methods, but the abundant energy made him a little bored in addition to arguing with other Ron Warlocks on the forum.

"I wonder how Evelyn is doing?"

"Wouldn't it be a bit presumptuous for me to visit now?"

"She's not sleeping well lately, why don't you try the Dream Weaver?"

As soon as this thought arose, it seemed that it could no longer be suppressed.

With the idea of "I'm just going to go and see", he turned on the Psychic Horizon and quickly locked Evelyn's dreams throughout the castle.

She looked like she had been asleep for a long time. Also, after going through so many things today, even the most powerful mages are tired.

What's more, she had just experienced an awakening.

Xu Nan did not hesitate, and directly consumed the power of some elements, and a small transparent tentacle suddenly appeared, slowly burrowing into Evelyn's dream.

"My dream image, why is it so ugly......"

He couldn't help but complain.

The little tentacles rolled in place, and the world around them became clear.

Sanguine!

Thick dark clouds covered the sky, and large clots of blood smashed from the sky to the ground!

On the earth, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a forest of white bones, and a lonely girl.

She just sat there, in front of her was a low-lying pond in which she could see the blood on her face.

"Evelyn?" Xu Nan didn't dare to alarm the other party, and quietly leaned over.

As he got closer, he realized that it didn't seem to be Evelyn, but a little girl who looked like her.

It seems to be Evelyn's childhood.

"Did you dream of your past self?"

He found a safe angle and attached the transparent tentacles to a stone.

The little girl was whispering into the pool, and her voice was audible:

"You will meet a man, fall in love with him, and then be destroyed by him."

"You will have a child who will bear the fate of Caesar just like you."

"The fate of the blood mage can be sealed, but it cannot be dodged indefinitely. Only the death of hundreds of thousands of living beings, only the surging sea of blood, can awaken the original secret of blood magic......"

She muttered silently, like madness.

Suddenly, she stopped and looked back in Xu Nan's direction.

"You're here?"

The little girl laughed, like a sunflower.

Xu Nan instinctively shuddered.

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

Someone's coming.

“……”

The man stopped.

The little girl picked up the water in the pond, tilted her head and asked:

"Are you going to blame me?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, she suddenly asked herself confidently:

"Of course not."

"After all, I'm your mother."

"And I'm still young, probably younger than you were when you saw me, how can you blame such a lovely girl? Isn't it, my precious daughter? ”

Xu Nan couldn't help but look back.

Evelyn's expression was strange, she wanted to laugh and cry.

Eventually, her tears flowed.

"I miss you."

"Mom's ......"

She said with tears in her eyes.

The little girl was still giggling, but the water she was holding in her hand was dripping down.
