Grandin could hear the clatter of gears turning at his feet. Although the meeting time was set for 7 p.m., Rowena waited until the bell tower was over to tell the hour before climbing up.

Because the sound of the hanging bell ringing could almost pierce his eardrums at close range, since he knew the consequences, why bother to find his own guilt, thinking that Rowena would not arrive early.

Sure enough, when he climbed the bell tower, it was quiet all around, and no one was there.

Wrapped in a trench coat, he leaned against the weathered wall, staring at the darkness of the bell tower, wondering in his mind from which shadow Rowena would emerge.

"Click, click."

Light footsteps sounded from the stone staircase that circled upward, and Rowena, with long red hair, quickly walked up the staircase with a dark yellow fence.

"What are you surprised about?" Rowena's eyes rolled, "Can you tell that this dress was designed by the fashion guru Mr. Saidus?" ”

Rowena's flaming waist-cinching dress was simple but beautiful, well-cut and elegant, and she lifted the skirt and turned around:

"Thanks to the apple orchard you gifted, it gives me a lot more money on hand."

Well, the asymmetrical tassels look good, and the cut-out lace design is good, but isn't it cold?

Grandin commented in his heart, wrapped the trench coat on his body again, and pulled back the topic:

"Are you dressed to prom? Why Emergency Contact? You don't seem to be in a hurry......"

Rowena looked relaxed, and there was a good smell of perfume on her body, which was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Because it's not me who needs to be flustered and anxious." Rowena smiled and held her arm with one hand, "Remember when you were being hunted by the Witch Sect?" There's a witch from Tingen who has taken over the task, this time it's a Sequence 6 powerhouse, and it's time for you to run away. ”

Tingen, Sequence 6? Isn't that a coincidence?

Grandin raised his eyebrows, "She's already in Beckland?" ”

"Not yet, I heard that I was in a little trouble?" Rowena's tone was playful, "Recently, the Witch Sect has lost a lot of key members one after another, and it seems that someone is targeting us...... The cult's higher-ups were anxious to pick a suitable group of members to fill the vacancies, which was an opportunity for those who wanted to climb the ladder, so the 'hunt' was hot again. ”

Hey, I don't know what percentage of their losses were the consequences of my actions?

Grandin pondered in his heart.

He didn't arrogantly think that the Witch Cult's losses were all caused by him, and perhaps the organization that had been fighting against the Witch Cult on the sea was their biggest trouble.

Unfortunately, I couldn't reach out to Arthur, and I don't know what happened after that naval battle......

Lately, Grandin has received meaningless daily prayers above the Black Lagoon, which cannot be analyzed or judged.

Some of these prayers came from Arthur, from Audrey, from the woman whom he had saved, but there were many voices he couldn't distinguish, young and old...... It seems that before he knew it, he had his own followers......

He threw these thoughts out of his head and tried to get more information from Rowena:

"Are there any other clues other than her sequence level?"

"She was known as Mrs. Sharon, and seemed to be very famous in the local area. It's strange to me that a witch with such a high profile didn't attract the attention of the official extraordinary. "Rowena has no burden when it comes to betraying the information of the members of the Order.

It turned out to be Mrs. Sharon, and it would be easy to deal with it if she knew the name......

Grandin's greatest fear is a sudden assassination in the shadows, and knowing the name of the enemy makes it much less dangerous.

"Maybe it's because she's too high-profile that she's ignored?"

He smiled and said what he thought, which may be the so-called darkness under the lamp.

"By the way, I met your student in Enmat. Harris is mixing well there, and he has no plans to come back to inherit your mantle for the time being. ”

Grandin spoke, but his eyes were fixed on the bottom of the bell tower.

A harbour watchman passed by with a lantern in his hand, not noticing a graceful woman standing on the bell tower.

When the night watchman had gone away, he continued:

"I've already delivered your message, so it's time to pay you?"

"It's not impossible, but I thought you'd tie him up." Rowena glanced at Grandin in surprise, and then explained the recipe for the 'Assassin' potion, "The main material is a pair of chelicerae of the Phantom tarantula and a gland for hunting black bats. The auxiliary materials are 100 ml of pure water, 3 grams of Fenerport fly powder, 5 drops of daffodil juice. ”

Her voice was clear, and she had no intention of paying her bills.

"I was trying to convince him to come back, but now I'm too familiar with him to start." Grandin thought that letting Harris transgender would definitely pollute his eyes, so he had long since abandoned the idea.

He silently jotted down the recipe, not hiding it, but asked jokingly:

"Do I need to sign a non-disclosure agreement?"

"The recipe is up to you, but remember to ask the sister who bought the recipe to report to me." As if she was finally feeling the cold, Rowena shrank her shoulders pitifully.

Have you already identified each other as sisters? How dare you assume someone else's gender!

Grandin complained in his heart, not paying attention to Rowena's small movements, and nodded in agreement:

"I will. Also, are you still gathering materials and seeking promotions? ”

"Of course, who wouldn't want to be stronger. But I'm also prepared to only get promoted when it's right. Rowena looked both envious and cautious.

For her, every promotion comes with great danger.

Ha, there's an unscrupulous boss like that.

Grandin smiled, since Rowena knew the risks, he didn't need to be reminded.

He continued on the topic he had just said:

"Then I hope you've got the funds ready. Well, the Sequence 6 trait is worth 4000 gold pounds. ”

This can only be regarded as a friendship price, and the price will only be higher if it is sold on the black market.

Rowena was stunned for a moment, then her brows furrowed, and she licked her lips seductively, "You mean, you're sure you're going to deal with a Sequence 6?" ”

"That's right, it's time for you to see what I'm capable of." Grandin replied confidently.

As long as he is prepared, he has a certain certainty that he will face a Sequence 6 'Witch of Pleasure' alone. If things don't go well, he can also ask the night watchman in Tingen for help, after all, connections are also a reflection of his own strength.

The only problem is that as long as the night watchman makes a move, he will most likely not get the loot. But he didn't lack the extraordinary trait of the Witch of Pleasure, Arthur had sacrificed one, he just lacked a valid reason to take it out.

The 5,000 gold pounds spent yesterday were made up for a large part of it......

......

Sunday, inside the luxurious villa of the Earl of Hall.

Grandin sat in a high-backed chair by the window, holding the book "A Detailed Explanation of Spirit Creatures" in his hand, and the light curtains in the classroom had been closed, because his two students were arranging the ritual, which was not suitable for outsiders to see.

Audrey and Susie have a clear division of labor, and Audrey is responsible for arranging materials and depicting the circle. Susie sat on the side, checking and filling in the gaps with a scrutinizing gaze, pointing out the former's mistakes, and the two of them cooperated tacitly.

To Grandin, it was more like Susie directing Audrey to work......

They've been busy for a while. The walls of spirituality, the altars, the rituals, the various symbols and materials, everything is already ready.

"Teacher, I'm ready."

Audrey took a deep breath, she was wearing a relatively light dress, very minimalist, but this did not affect her beauty in the slightest. Audrey prepares to pray for good luck and make a charm to that mysterious being today.

Some time ago, Susie actually won the dog food award of the year of "Beckland Care Pet Company" with the 'Destiny Charm' on her neck!

This also strengthened Audrey's determination:

An existence who is willing to help dogs is definitely not a bad god!

"Wang!" Susie exclaimed excitedly.

Grantin put down the book and examined the ritual, his brow furrowing as he examined it.

There is nothing wrong with the ritual itself, but ......

"Audrey, even if you count the consumables for the failed ritual...... Isn't there too much of these materials? Grandin asked, confused.

Are your students too well prepared?

In fact, as long as Audrey's part of the spell describing the specific object of the invocation is not wrong, there is almost no chance that the ritual will fail.

After all, this ritual is only divided into three steps, and the first step is to use sacrifices to please or attract the attention of the corresponding being. The second step is to describe the specific object of the invocation and deepen the occult connection between the two parties. The third step is to state what help you need and wait for the corresponding being to respond.

Fairly simple.

Audrey's jewel-like eyes blinked, and she tilted her head slightly in embarrassment:

"I want to try it many times while the teacher is here today."

Feeling the warmth of the afternoon sun, she further explained:

"My mom and dad, my two older brothers, they're going to need good luck too."

Grandin listened and froze for a moment, almost losing control of the expression on his face.

Here, the landlord's family has no surplus grain.

He barely used the ability of the 'machine' to keep it steady, and said in a deep voice:

"But excessive greed is a sin, and we should not pray for too much."

Audrey couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when she heard the teacher's admonition, and she suddenly realized that her thoughts just now were somewhat offensive, and she took the gift from the mysterious being as a matter of course in exchange.

After all, how can 500 gold pounds measure the good fortune bestowed by that being?

Audrey, you have to review.

She said to herself embarrassedly, and then solemnly promised:

"I see, teacher."

During the next ceremony, Audrey placed two gold coins in the right place to carry the power of fate, and the surface of the gold coins was engraved with the corresponding spiritual numbers, incantations and symbols.

In the place of sacrifice, several times the usual number of sacrifices were placed as proof of his sincere repentance.

While Grandin and his students were busy with ritual magic, Klein, who was far away in Tingen, had just finished an exploration of the haunted castle in the small town of Ramd and learned that Mr. Azik might be a figure from 1,400 or 500 years ago.

He was in a dilemma about whether or not to report the matter to Captain Dunn.

Because he couldn't make a decision, he finally simply climbed the gray mist to do divination, and then made a choice based on the divination results.

And the result of divination is 'shouldn't tell'!

Crane cautiously used the 'Dream Divination' again to arrive at the same answer, and finally made up his mind to hide from Captain Dunn that Mr. Azik was special.

As he tries to leave the Grey Mist, he unexpectedly receives a prayer from the Godforsaken Land, a tall boy.

After getting to know each other's personalities first, Klein pulled the teenager into the tarot club.

Codenamed 'The Sun'.

And his day of excitement is far from over.

......

In the woods on the outskirts of Lamb Township, Crane sat on a tree stump in a clearing.

He holds the seal '3-0782' in his hand, which is called the mutated Sun Emblem and purifies ghosts.

It is a half-palm-sized thing, and the overall color is dark gold. Starting with a slight sink, from the center of the emblem, one after another lines extending outward surround a complete sun pattern.

The glimmer of light shone on the emblem dispelled the darkness around Crane, and he remained motionless as if an old monk had settled down, and the deep silence of the forest was harmonious.

But above the gray mist, this is not the case in that mysterious space.

A low grunt passed through countless voids into the gray mist, and a pure and clear light followed!

They set everything on fire, swept through the space, burned wildly!

The majestic palaces that Klein had constructed collapsed inch by inch under this force, like an earthquake, and the whole space trembled.

Klein, who served as the Death Divination Seal '3-0782', became a humanoid torch, leaving only a tumbling of pain and an instinctive roar.

It wasn't until the golden flames receded that he initially regained his ability to think.

The blackened Crane gripped the armrest of the high-backed chair and struggled to stand up, his face frightened and dazed.

"What did I just divination? Did my divination point to a mysterious being...... Is that round of the sun the 'eternal sun'...... I, I looked directly at the gods! ”

Even though he was just a star spirit now, he could still feel his heart beating violently, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became:

"Fortunately, I was divining on the gray mist, if I had done this in reality, I would have died."

"So, this mysterious space can still help me block attacks from the gods? It may have been the secretive, strange, and sudden influence of the Grey Mist Divination that he didn't have time to react further...... Ha, it's not all bad, I've gained a lot of knowledge......"

In just a few seconds, Crane had gotten a lot of useful things from the other party. For example, the crafting skills of the 'Sunfire Charm', and a series of potion recipes for the 'Singer' pathway!

He embodied parchment and recorded all the recipes he had obtained by accident on paper.

"It seems that this space is mysterious enough that it can even briefly block the influence of the gods. However, it also reminds me that in the future, if there is nothing to do, don't mess around with spiritual vision and divination...... There's nothing in the real world that can help me withstand this level of damage......"

With a wry smile of satisfaction, he tapped his fingers on the edge of the long bronze table and began to summarize and examine what he had just done.

But just then, a question flashed through his mind like lightning.

This question has been bothering him for a long time, and it has existed since the Tarot Festival was first held.

And some of its possible explanations or answers made Klein's whole body tremble, like a sudden fall from a scorching summer day into a cold winter ice cave, he could barely control his movements, and even his spirit body was scattered, and he was about to fall from the gray mist!
