Ottoman Empire, Montage Family Domain.

On a cold morning, the sky was just shining slightly.

The town's chaotic buildings are clustered around a towering castle looming in the mist.

Ji Yan looked at the scenery outside the window, only to feel that the world was surrounded by mist.

The mist stained the glass, turning into drops of dew that fell down the smooth surface and wetted the eaves.

It's been about five days since I returned to the castle.

The butler said that the man would return soon, but he was still nowhere to be seen.

It looks like he's not coming back.

Ji Yan shook his head, and he was not disappointed by this.

After all, the purpose of this time was not for the man either.

It's just that I can't find the "door" and want to get an answer from his mouth.

Every day, Ji Yan will send out shadows to investigate, from castles to small towns, and beyond.

In the past few days, the entire Montage family's territory has been turned over.

But none of them can be called "doors".

Ji Yan also went to his mother's side every day for a while, but he couldn't see anything special about her at all.

"Keys?"

He muttered to himself, his mind thinking, but he didn't have any clue.

Taking a human being is the key, either a sacrifice, or the blood in her body, or a few other conjectures......

After all, there are some mysterious spells in this world that must be cast by people with special bodies.

But there is no sign of the mysterious factor on the mother's body, and it is impossible to meet this condition.

Ji Yan frowned slightly, then thought about it, and a guess faintly appeared in his heart.

What if the key is a one-time key?

All the special ones are completely consumed after they are used, and thus become the ordinary appearance of today.

It's not impossible.

Just like those mysterious ores, after the mysterious factor in them is consumed, it becomes an extremely ordinary stone.

And Ji Yan vaguely remembered that the man suddenly brought back the earl's daughter and Carter, who was a few years older than him, one day.

Then his mother's soft face showed a strong panic, and her hands kept clutching the man's sleeve.

This is already an extremely outrageous move compared to before.

And you must know that even if the man treated her extremely indifferently, it was difficult for her face to show such panic.

It was the first time Ji Yan saw his mother with such a look, as if he was afraid of being thrown away by that man.

Perhaps at that time, his mother had already been used as a "key".

As you can tell from how many years Carter was older than himself, the man had long been intimate with the earl's daughter.

If it weren't for his mother, he might have married the Count's daughter long ago.

It's just that something happened halfway through, and the man had to marry his mother for some reason.

And after marrying, he seemed to be scrupling about something, and did not take the earl's daughter back with Carter, and raised them outside.

You must know that your mother is a submissive character, and any decision he makes, her mother will not refute it, but will only bear it silently.

However, even then, it was much later that the earl's daughter and Carter were brought back.

So what exactly is that man afraid of?

What is so special about his mother that can be used as a "key"......

Speaking of which, Ji Yan still doesn't know where his mother is and where she comes from.

Everything about her past was almost a blank slate.

Ji Yan has never seen anyone from her mother's family here, and it seems that she is the only one alone.

He frowned slightly, and looked out the window into the fog in silence.

He hadn't thought deeply about these issues before, and he just regarded them as the man's heart.

Now that I think about it, I am full of doubts.

Just being the count's daughter, there is no need to be wronged.

What can I compare my own mother with?

Although the status of the man's viscount was only one level lower, it was still not enough to look at in front of him.

So in this world where the aristocracy is extremely concerned about face, how can the earl endure his daughter not having an official title for several years.

Ji Yan felt that layer after layer of fog was enveloping the body of this family.

It's like the mist outside the window, although it is shallow, it can hide everything.

Although he wanted to ask directly, after all, his current strength was enough to support the consequences of the inquiry.

If you want to find yourself, you will have to know when.

But now the only man who knows the truth has not returned, presumably after attending the banquet held by Archduke Arendelle.

Ji Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and he began to make other plans in his heart.

"Winter Winter ......"

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The knock on the door was soft, as if it was afraid of disturbing others, after all, the morning sun had just risen from the sky.

Ji Yan knew that this special way was only possible for one person.

When you open the door, you will be greeted by a delicate and lovely face.

"Alice is here, come in."

"Okay, Brother Ji Yan."

Alice whispered, and then quietly entered the house.

"Isn't there a maid big sister this time?"

She looked into the room with wide eyes, and there was no stranger in sight.

Ji Yan felt a little embarrassed for a while when he heard this, he put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly twice.

Just a few days ago, a maid with a graceful figure and a beautiful face knocked on the door with a smile.

Then when Ji Yan opened the door, she said that the housekeeper had arranged to come over to carry out the work of the bed.

Faced with this situation, although Ji Yan was a little stunned, but when he was about to refuse this temptation with righteous words, Alice came over.

She just came over to give Ji Yan strength according to the usual practice and assist in cultivation.

Although it was a little strange to see this scene at the time, fortunately she didn't understand anything and didn't know what this beautiful big sister was doing here.

So Ji Yan sent it away without saying a word, but when she left, the maid seemed to understand something, and her eyes were full of ridicule.

Immediately after, I don't know if it was his delusion, the other maids also seemed to look at themselves and Alice with strange eyes.

Tsk, these people's minds are really stained with filth, not clean at all, and everything they think is dirty.

Ji Yan felt disgusted by this behavior.

The two of them are obviously just normal cultivation, and I hope they can be purified and redeemed in the fire of dusk.

However, it is estimated that because of this, the housekeeper is not arranging any maids to come.

Ji Yan has also been idle these days.

He doesn't just wait in the castle these days.

Instead, when Shadow went to collect information, he was working hard to cultivate.

Although he didn't bring much material for cultivation, with Alice's humanoid plug-in and his own joint efforts, the mysterious factor content in his body was finally about to reach a new level.

0.6！

As long as you cross this hurdle, you can take four more difficult hurdles to reach your small goal, which is the Morning Star Warlock.

I don't know what kind of changes will happen to the system at that time.

Ji Yan was slightly interested in this.

Seeing that Alice looked ready, Ji Yan smiled slightly, and she should be able to be promoted to 0.6 today.

It is important to know that those Mystic Warlocks, even if they have unusual talents, will not be stuck in their progress.

But it takes several years to get to 0.6.

But Ji Yan condensed the process of I don't know how many years into a few months.

One month can withstand others for a year.

After all, there are so many material offerings, the reagents refined by the golden apple, and the humanoid plug-in of Alice......

With so many resources, you can pile up hundreds of warlocks of the same realm.

Now it's all used on Ji Yan alone.

Luckily, his body was like a black hole, and it seemed that it would be difficult to hold it up, otherwise it would have caused a violent explosion if it was concentrated.

Thinking of this, Ji Yan didn't know what kind of secret he was hiding.

But now his strength is still too low, and he needs to reach at least Alice's realm before he may know the answer.

Under a warm force, Ji Yan slowly closed his eyes, and all the mysterious factors in his body began to mobilize, just to be able to successfully promote to 0.6.

As time passed, the aura that appeared on the surface of his body did not increase, but became more and more silent.

Until the end, it was difficult to see a trace of leaking breath on Ji Yan's body, and he was like an ordinary person at the moment.

Alice held Ji Yan's head in her arms and looked at him very nervously.

She knew that Brother Ji Yan was at a very critical juncture now, and the power in his hand did not stop at all, but increased the transmission of power.

Alice actually has no complaints about becoming a tool person to assist in cultivation, and even has a joy that can help him.

If it weren't for Brother Ji Yan buying him that day.

Maybe she is no longer in this world, and it is difficult to even see her mother's face.

Alice looked at Ji Yan, and for some reason a few familiar and unfamiliar pictures always flashed back in her mind.

It was familiar because it was the scene she had sometimes dreamed of these days.

And strange, but she has never experienced everything in the picture, but her figure often appears in the picture.

Sometimes I even substitute myself in it, and some emotions are also empathetic.

Alice's gaze froze, but then she came back to her senses.

Ji Yan is at a critical juncture, and now is not the time to think about this.

Soon Alice felt that the power she needed to convey seemed to be less and less, and just when she couldn't stop guessing, he opened his eyes.

"Brother Ji Yan, have you succeeded?"

Alice let out a small exclamation and looked at him with some concern in her eyes.

"Hmm."

Ji Yan got up, feeling that he was more powerful than ever, and he had obviously been successfully promoted to 0.6.

This promotion did not have such a big movement as before, but it was unremarkable and silent.

Stretching shallowly, Ji Yan seemed to hear a "Ding Dong" sound.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had thought of something.

Immediately turned on the system.

At the moment when the panel jumped out, his eyes glanced at Alice, who was very close to her, but she still seemed to be immersed in the joy of together, and she didn't notice it at all.

It seems that others really can't see it.

Alice is the most powerful person Ji Yan has ever seen, and even half a foot has stepped into the realm of gods.

But as a result, she couldn't see either, not even notice it.

So does this panel only exist in your own brain, or is it projected in front of the retina......

Ji Yan opened the account panel while thinking about it.

Sure enough, there was another account.

And this time the account Ji Yan is a little unfamiliar.

There is not even a body, only a piece of pure white.

Doesn't this account have an ontology?

Or is it similar to the Lord of Confusion?

Ji Yan's expression moved slightly, this time the account didn't have any characteristics at all, and it didn't even seem to have a physical body.

So how does he determine which account this account is?

After all, there is too much to represent without a body and white.

Ji Yan was brainstorming in his mind, but in reality, his eyes kept looking at a certain place, and the child hole was scattered.

This time has caused Alice to worry.

"Brother Ji Yan, what's wrong?"

It wasn't until Alice called several times that Ji Yan came back to his senses from his thoughts.

"It's nothing, I'm just getting acquainted with the new powers."

"Oh, do you need me to help you?"

"Don't use it for the time being, let me familiarize myself with it first, thank you for your hard work."

"Oh, okay Brother Ji Yan."

After Alice withdrew, Ji Yan felt the power in her body again.

I'm finally an elite warlock.

The mystery factor content of 0.6 can be regarded as the backbone no matter where it is placed.

Ji Yan came to the bookshelf in the house, this time he didn't bring the [Divine Spirit] book, so he could only find it from these books.

But he looked at it, and he didn't talk about the gods.

But it's normal, after all, it's an absolute no-go zone.

Ji Yan was already lucky to be able to find a copy of [Divine Spirit] on the black market.

Looks like he might have to go to Sky City to find clues.

Alas, why can't this system be a little smarter?

For example, label the account with a name, ability, or something, so that you can get started quickly.
