It must be said that Sir Leinster had foreseen many things before sending the young man named Curt out, including that they would be attacked by the enemy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Frick had noticed that the young man had the same surname as Sir Raven, and that he had deliberately mentioned Patrio in his self-introduction to prove his identity. There was no doubt that he was related to the old raven, but from the looks he did not look much like the heir of Urs.

In fact, he has no interest in the family affairs of the Leinster family, so he does not care if Curt Leinster is a direct blood relative of Leinster. But the fact that the inhuman mages who attacked them called Curt "monster" before he left gave him a certain sense of wonder.

After leaving the already devastated complex, they quickly contacted Akuli, who had easily reduced his attackers to cold corpses. According to her own account, she was attacked when she realized that something was wrong and went out to look for Frick, but the enemy probably underestimated her strength.

She seemed to know that Urs would invite them somewhere, but when she saw Curt standing next to Frick, she somehow revealed some displeasure. That faint look was fleeting, so much so that Flick wondered if he had misread it because of nervousness.

The train ticket to his destination had already been prepared by Curt, and he seemed to have calculated the time it would take to find the two of them when he arrived at the Gate of the North, and even the cost of the battle had been factored in. According to his plan, when they boarded the train to the West, there was still plenty of time.

The place that Urs Leinster invited them to was Wodenia, southwest of the Gate of the North, a medium-sized town that could only be reached by train in half a day. Compared to the Gates of the North, which has only been developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, Wodenia has a much longer history, and the environment around the town is well preserved, and there are even a few medieval castles.

Frick had passed by the North Gate on his way from Perm, but had not actually visited the town, so he felt a little anticipatory when he saw the town in the darkness of the night—after all, the atmosphere in their carriage was too oppressive for him to breathe.

It may have been a quick and smooth trip, but it was anything but pleasant, and Frick and the other two companions didn't even get a chance to lock up a few words. Aculi looked in a bad mood for some reason, and as soon as he got on the train, he curled up in a corner, watching the entire carriage with a vicious look.

Not surprisingly, Frick discovers that her target is Curt Lyinster, a wonderful young man who sends an invitation letter on behalf of Sir Raven. He vaguely remembered that there was some kind of personal grudge between Akuli and Uls Leinster, and now this resentment seemed to be directed towards Curt.

I don't know if it's to fight against Acully's undisguised malice, but Curt also began to maintain the long knife he used to fight the mage as soon as he sat down. Although he always has a subtle smile on his face as before, his every move clearly reveals that he will not show weakness easily.

In the-for-tat atmosphere of these two guys, Flick, who thought he was just an ordinary person, could only helplessly flip through the invitation letter sent by Sir Leinster.

"Dear Mr. Frick Sierra Leone

I hope this letter has not bothered you, but a few days ago a friend of ours who I know very well suddenly wrote to inform me that you are now in an insoluble crisis. Through the battle of Lemongrass, I have learned that you have great courage and talent in the face of all kinds of difficult and strange events, and I cannot bear to see talents like yours lost because of such 'accidents'.

As you know, this incident is inextricably linked to the death of William Coulter the day before yesterday, and the 'rebellion' of his actions has led to the repetition of those who had been hidden under the water. Dr. Kurt was a rare talent in the Empire, and his death was a great loss to the Empire's research in the realm of the spiritual world, and Dr. Kurt had contacted me before he was attacked and died.

In the course of our crow society's research on various ancient relics, we have also come into contact with some interesting beings. It was by chance that Dr. William Coulter became associated with us and provided the Society with a great deal of valuable information, including a curious book.

Based on the knowledge of some of the scholars in different fields and the information at their disposal, the book was written centuries ago by a heretical thinker named Joseph. According to some other manuscripts mentioning the book, the author of this book is a rare madman, and in his lifetime of research he has been exposed to a large number of areas that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, all about "mythical monsters" and even more bizarre spiritual theories.

Compared to the several topics I have researched over the years, and the research that follows, the content of this book is invaluable, especially the breakthrough insights. Although we have tried to interpret the ciphertext of this book in the light of mythological works and folklore since we started it, the progress has been too slow, and some of the cipher text is very different from what we have learned in the past.

However, a few days after we learned of Kurt's death, the ciphertext decipherment made unusually rapid progress, and I was informed of some of his plans in the documents hidden in the book. It was already in William Coulter's plan, and he had already counted us in the counter-attack.

Perhaps you are aware of your position in the Kurt Project, and I wish to invite you to come to Wodenya Manor to decipher the secret text that has been left behind. At the same time, in view of the danger of what our friends say, we crows are here to be fully prepared to meet the enemy who dares to attack.

Given the current situation, I will not be able to travel far for the time being, so I will have to choose the most trustworthy people to protect me. I have made all the preparations for your coming, and I hope that I will meet you in the halls of Wodenia to discuss the details of what is to come.

Addendum: I hope you will invite Akuli Aura Sagania to come with you, and the daughter of Rollanir will be a great help in this project.

Sincerely

Urs Leinster"

The wizard used that strange rhetoric even when writing letters, so much so that it took Frick a lot of effort to figure out what the declension was trying to say. In fact, even the nobles of the imperial capital no longer used this method of communication, and Frick really did not know what Sir Leinster's thoughts were in order to insist on using this outdated way of language.

Aside from the rhetorical language that occupies most of the paper, there isn't much to be said about the letter. In addition to explaining why Sir Urs Leinster invited him to the estate, the second is an introduction to William Coulter's relationship.

The theosophy-obsessed sorcerer had foreseen his death through his study of the spirit world, so he had begun to prepare before then. Perhaps the glimmer of the future he glimpsed didn't reveal much information, but this glimmer of opportunity alone was enough for him to involve the necessary pawns in the plan.

Perhaps in hindsight, William Coulter's death was just the beginning, and his plan may have deliberately chosen to be marked by the destruction of his own body. Knowing that his actions would lead to destruction, he had already designed the position of each gear.

But he really couldn't understand what the purpose of this "plan" was...... After all, if it is only for the purpose of being killed by the "organization" for violating the contract, you should not shoot this "revenge" for violating the contract in the first place, because it is meaningless.

Flick's obsession with not fearing death for a purpose is not incomprehensible – but it would be strange if that purpose was the cause of the obsession. Flick struggles to understand the causal relationship behind this incident, and always feels that the "deceased" is hiding a deeper secret.

Distrustful of the future, Frick looked through the car window at his approaching destination, and in front of the briskly painted white fields and the trees with only dry branches, a geometric structure that shone with warm light rose in the distance. Through the low city, you can see the jagged mountains beyond, wrapped in a dark and hazy cold fog, like a dreamlike view.

Acully curled up quietly in the corner, his eyes no longer fixed on Curt Leonster, but drifting out into the distant gloomy streetscape, his eyes thoughtful. Acully was reluctant to talk about her past, and didn't talk about anything more than that she had been friends with her father. Frick, however, could tell from her barely changing facial expression that this place had some special meaning to her.

As for Curt sitting on the other side, he was still wearing the same costume he had worn when he fought the inhuman mage, and he didn't care that it had become tattered. He sat in a tattered costume in the corner of an ordinary train car and maintained a long knife, looking like a down-and-out mercenary, but every time Flick saw his deep black eyes, he felt more and more that he was a descendant of the nobility of the empire with a long history, and he had a transcendent bearing.

There was an abundance of strength in his carefully trained body, and his eyes showed moderation and kindness. If there are really any difficulties and dangers in the next operation, he will undoubtedly be a reliable comrade who will bravely shoulder his responsibilities.
