Evening.

Jack's Manor.

In the attic on the fourth floor, Maggie put away the bottle of tan potion in her hand and leaned down to observe it carefully.

The strange viscous liquid in the bottle was bubbling and even trembling slightly.

"Hmm...... The thirst potion enhancement experiment has achieved some results, but now there will be no suitable drug tester for a while, and those immortal strangers don't know where to go these days......"

Maggie looked distressed.

She suddenly had an idea, and the expression on her face changed to expectation.

"Go find Noah! As the only flesh-and-blood faction transcendent in the circus, it couldn't be more suitable! ”

Maggie slapped her palm, just did it, and immediately turned around and went out, not even cleaning up the messy tabletop.

She went straight to the third floor, found Noah's room, and banged the door.

Knock knock knock ......!

After a while, no one responded.

Maggie continued to beat, then paced from side to side.

"Absent?"

She tried to twist the doorknob, found it unlocked, and opened the door.

"Huh...... It seems to have really gone out. ”

Maggie glanced around the room and saw that it was empty.

Disappointed, she was about to close the door and leave, but her eyes were drawn to the paintings in the corner of the room.

They were all covered with white cloths, and it was impossible to see what was being painted, which piqued Maggie's curiosity.

She looked around and saw no one in the hallway on the third floor, so she sneaked in.

Quietly locked the door, went straight to the corner frame, and then jerked open the white cloth on a painting.

Wow –

Maggie's face suddenly showed a stunned expression.

The next second, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes showed excitement.

"......?!"

Maggie took a step forward, bent down, and kept moving her hands, directly lifting the rest of the white cloth.

When she straightened up and glanced at it, her whole face flushed.

"OMG! It's so exciting......"

Maggie was suddenly stunned, and found that her nose was a little warm, and when she touched it with her hand, she was bleeding.

"Huh?"

Following.

Early in the morning, Connie and Maggie sat in the living room looking at a painting.

The little white cat Bib also joined in the fun, poking his little head out of the middle of the two and admiring the painting together.

In the oil painting, it is Mr. Jack, except that he is not wearing the black hat or clothes, with white wings on his back, and his arms are outstretched, in the shape of a cross, floating in the sky.

Fortunately, there was also a white silk cloth that surrounded his torso, just enough to cover the key parts.

Jack is shown with his head gently raised, his eyes closed, and his bare muscles all over his body, making him look like the most perfect sculpture, shining in the sun.

"Hey...... How's that, Connie? ”

Maggie elbowed Connie beside her, who was flushed and her mouth slightly open.

"This ...... Is this Mr. Jack? Good...... Good ......"

She stammered, wanting to say something about a perfect body, but she didn't feel ladylike enough.

Maggie raised her eyebrows, this painting was actually the only one in Noah's room that was not completely naked, and if Connie saw the other paintings, she was afraid that it would scare the other party.

Bib the little white cat blinked, revealing a strange look.

"I said Connie, why are you so shy? We call it appreciation...... By the way, you haven't been in love, have you? ”

Maggie chuckled.

"I didn't ...... Miss Maggie, what about you? You know that, you should be very experienced, right? ”

Connie asked curiously.

Maggie coughed, trying to say something, but suddenly shut up.

At this moment, a figure silently approached the two of them, and his white hand pressed the painting, then turned it upside down and held it in his arms.

Maggie and Connie looked up and were shocked.

"Miss Floy!"

Floy was expressionless, and after "staring" at the two of them for a while, she spoke softly:

"It's not allowed to do this in the future, it will affect Lord Jack's prestige, understand?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Floy, I won't peek again!"

Connie immediately apologized nervously, although Floy was usually gentle with her, but this time she was rarely cold, and she looked a little angry, which couldn't help but make her a little afraid.

"Forehead ......"

When Maggie saw Floy turn her head to "look" at her, her heart suddenly burst into her heart, and she said a little weakly:

"Haha, I know, I know, Mr. Captain's paintings were all found in Noah's room, and there are a lot of ...... without clothes"

Floy hugged the painting and turned to leave.

Maggie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know why, Floy can put a lot of pressure on her, more exaggerated than the regiment leader.

"That's what you say, Miss Maggie...... Miss Floy will definitely go to Mr. Noah's trouble......"

Connie said with some concern.

Maggie slumped back, leaned on the sofa and waved her hand, and said indifferently:

"It's okay, it's okay, what's the trouble...... She'll be sure to hide the painting herself, hehe. ”

The afternoon approached evening.

Mrs. Caroline came to visit.

She was holding a small potted plant with a few flowers of various colors. At her feet, there was a black and white border herd, none other than Báb.

"Welcome, Mrs. Caroline."

After Chen Lun heard Connie's briefing, he personally took Floy to the door to greet him.

He took off his hat and bent slightly to embrace Mrs. Caroline, who kissed him twice on the cheek.

Floy took the potted plant and greeted Mrs. Caroline as well.

"I'm so lonely in my apartment, so come and pay you a visit, don't you, little Jack?"

Mrs. Caroline said with a kind expression.

"How can it be, Mrs. Caroline can come to the manor at any time to play, and we were taken care of by you when we first came to Amber City."

Chen Lun touched Babu's dog head and whispered.

Babu hadn't seen Chen Lun for a long time, and he looked very excited, constantly licking his palm.

"You're still such a gentleman, little Jack."

Mrs. Caroline smiled and followed Chen Lun into the manor.

As she walked, Mrs. Caroline looked left and right at the huge and beautiful surroundings, and exclaimed:

"It's nice to have so many flowers planted."

"Floy took care of it herself, maybe she was influenced by you when she was at 7 Denton Street......

Chen Lun said jokingly.

Soon, they led Mrs. Caroline to the living room of the villa and sat down.

Floy went to work in the kitchen and offered to make a special afternoon tea for Mrs. Caroline.

Chen Lun looked at her back and chuckled.

"Mrs. Caroline, have you been getting used to living in the inner city lately?"

He poured two cups of tea and asked casually.

"Alas......"

Mrs. Caroline took a sip from her teacup.

"Although the inner city is far more prosperous than the outer city, the people here are not as easy to get along with as there are...... Fortunately, I had Bab with me, and the Pompeii family occasionally came to visit me. ”

Chen Lun nodded and listened silently.

"Mr. Taute hasn't woken up since he was injured last time, and I'm worried."

Mrs. Caroline's face was worried.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Caroline, Dr. Maggie diagnosed him last time, but he was only a deep lethargy, and I believe he will wake up soon."

Chen Lun comforted.

Mrs. Caroline squeezed out a smile.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Floy came over with a plate.

"Mrs. Caroline, this is the rose wine cake that I have researched according to your cookbook and some of my own experiments."

On the plate are two plates of red cake carved with cream, which are very exquisite, and it is accompanied by two cups of special milk tea.

"Oh, that's beautiful! Little Floy, your craftsmanship is beyond my expectations! ”

Mrs. Caroline complimented.

She picked up the plate, scooped a corner with a spoon, and put it in her mouth, wrinkles at the corners of her eyes spreading.

"It tastes good!"

She sighed.

Chen Lun looked at the plate of cake in front of him and turned to look at Floy, who smiled at him.

"You can eat some too."

He said.

Floy shook her head slightly.

Chen Lun stopped talking, but took a spoonful and handed it to Floy's mouth.

Floy was slightly stunned, then her cheeks were slightly red, and she opened her mouth.

After she finished eating this bite, Chen Lun started to taste.

When Mrs. Caroline saw this, she nodded, and the smile on her face was even greater.

"Your brother and sister still have such a good relationship."

"Of course."

Chen Lun didn't explain, and chuckled in with a smile.

It was Floy next to her, whose crimson was darker.

Next to the couch.

Bian Mu Babu seemed to sense something, and suddenly changed from lying on his stomach to squatting, his nose twitching, and smelling the smell.

It turned its head to look and saw a little white cat walking slowly.

As if he had found something to amuse, Babu rushed to the little white cat with great interest, grinning at them as if frightened, and letting out a low roar.

But the little white cat glanced at it, jumped directly on the spot, kicked it in the head, and flew to the armrest of the sofa.

Bian Mu Babu was stunned for a moment, and then unconvinced and wanted to bite the little white cat's buttocks, but the white cat seemed to have the ability to predict, and the last hair came first, turned around and waved his forelimbs, and gave the dog a set of cat slaps.

A dozen slammed hits on the dog's head, instantly beating it so that it couldn't find the north.

Chen Lun glanced at it, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, how could Babu, a dog who had been fed a mysterious substance by him, be bullied by the little white cat.

At this time, the little white cat jumped into his arms and meowed at the cake in his hand.

Chen Lun's eyes were deep, and he turned to smile and placed the cake in front of it.

The little white cat Beeb sniffed and began to lick it, purring with pleasure.

Iwabang Fossil City.

Asylum building.

Inside the office of the chief of the referee, Rudolfka.

The middle-aged man with blond hair was sitting in a chair, flipping through a large book.

The dark blue handwriting on the pages is elegant, and lines are full of text.

He turned a page.

Wow –

Brother Jerome of the Red Apple Church, after being ordained, sensed the importance of the archbishop and decided to complete his mission...... He carried the Church's [B-Class Monster - Plague in a Bottle] to the Gem State and released the Plague Factor.

The plague spread faster than Jerome had anticipated, and he did the task perfectly, keeping the Empire's energy in the Gem State at bay, freeing up his hands to carry out the secret operation that the Archbishop had told him to do - capture the soul of the Black Knight Byers.

But Jerome overlooked one thing, the power of the [Plague in a Bottle] was simply not enough to set off a catastrophe that would sweep across the entire state, and the reason why the plague spread so quickly was because of ...... (crossed out) because of a secret cult organization 'Disaster Relief Party'.

They were founded when an accidental, ignorant but sad man picked up a book of mythology that recorded the deeds and honorific name of the evil god 'Lord of the Plague', so they prayed to the god for no calamity and disease......

But this cult, which was outside the incident, was soon caught by the asylum after completing its mission, uprooted and completely destroyed......

The source of the clue is thanks to Jack's experience in a hospital outside Amber City......"

Tuk Tuk ......

There was a knock on the door.

Howard didn't raise his head, and said softly:

"Please come in."

The door opened.

A handsome woman with short hair walked in, it was Mona.

"Teacher."

She stroked her chest and saluted, calling respectfully.

"Please be seated, Monna."

Howard gave a gentle smile.

"Yes, Teacher."

Mona sat down at her desk and handed over what she was holding.

"This is a mysterious book 'The Secret of Suffering and Weakness' that we confiscated after we secretly eradicated the cult organization 'Disaster Relief Party', which records the existence of an evil god called 'Lord of the Plague'...... Ask the teacher to decide what to do. ”

"Well, good work, Mona."

Howard took the old book and put it aside.

"Are you puzzled, why did you suddenly summon you back?"

Instead of answering Mona's words, he digressed the subject.

Mona was slightly stunned, and then her face showed a hint of confusion, but finally she took a deep breath and looked directly into the blonde man's eyes.

"Yes, teacher! Amber City is now facing a tense situation, with a squad of executioners being intercepted and killed by Byers, and then a squad of executioners preparing to start a roundup...... If I don't sit in charge, I'm afraid there will be chaos. ”

"The 'Lamp Keepers' team of the Church of the Sun and the 'Purple Moonlight' team of the Church of the Moon will soon arrive in Amber City, unite them, and the three teams of elite transcendents will take care of everything, so you can stay here in peace.

And don't underestimate Ralph, he's also my student, trust him. ”

Howard smiled lightly.

"After going out to hone in for so long, it's time for you to come back...... The Empire needs you to do more than just spend time in a normal city. ”

"But...... Teacher! ”

Mona was a little anxious.

"You go down first, get familiar with the affairs here, maybe you won't be back to Amber City in the future......"

Howard waved his hand slightly.

Mona stood up and wanted to say something to fight for, but suddenly saw the teacher's blue eyes, flat and deep.

Her heart pounded.

Although the teacher has always taken good care of her and has a gentle attitude, for some reason, Mona is still very in awe of the other party subconsciously.

"Yes, I see, Teacher."

Mona sighed and turned to leave.

Click!

The door was closed.

Howard picked up the copy of "The Secret Book of Weakness", stood up and walked to the bookshelf to the side, inserted it in, and whispered:

"Well, it's back again."

He closed the cabinet door, sat down behind his desk, and continued reading the script.

But Howard was slightly stunned.

He saw—

On the pages of the script, all the names "Jerome" began to fade in the words that were written all over the book.

It was as if going back in time, dark blue ink seeped out, flowed, and then destroyed the entire page.

Howard gently closes the script, and the cover reads A Plague Tale.

He lit a cigarette and slowly walked to the window to look out, his expressionless face and his eyes were frighteningly calm.

"Hoo ......"

A puff of smoke was exhaled.

A deep voice echoed through the room:

"Who changed my script? Is that you? Maggie......"
