"You...... I ......"

Audrey opened her mouth, but she couldn't help but say, "How did you do that?" ”

"No one was looking, so I took it out."

Ember said casually with an indifferent expression.

"What do you mean no one is watching!"

Audrey's eyes widened, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Ember had been with her all the time and had never left.

The manuscript was placed in an exhibition hall that was set up as a study, and security personnel were watching it from beginning to end.

Audrey also considered the difficulty of taking the bookmark, but came to the conclusion that they simply couldn't stand a chance!

Especially the security guard named Max, Audrey can be sure that he must be an extraordinary, and by no means an ordinary extraordinary, at least the kind in the middle sequence.

Obviously, before they left the exhibition hall, Max also made a special inspection before closing the glass cover.

And after they left the exhibition hall, Ember stayed in her sight, never leaving the show.

How the hell did he do it?

And when did you take the bookmark away?

Could this have something to do with the extraordinary abilities of the apprenticeship pathway?

But even so.

It's a little too outrageous!

She was obviously there all along, but she didn't notice it from beginning to end.

Audrey couldn't help but be a little discouraged, but suddenly another serious problem came to mind.

"That's not right."

Audrey couldn't help but ask, "Why did you take the bookmark away?!" ”

"Huh?"

Ember looked at the girl in surprise, "Didn't you ask me to do it?" ”

"When will I ......"

Audrey was full of question marks, but suddenly remembered that she had used a sulking disguise in the exhibition hall to give Ember a look.

So, it can't be that time, right?

Audrey was a little crying and laughing, and said helplessly, "But I just want to tell you that I have confirmed the bookmark, what should I do now?" ”

"Then I'll give it back?"

Ember shrugged and said casually.

“……”

Audrey was a little speechless, how could she return it after taking it all!

Will you go back and let Mr. Fool's family steal it again?

Obviously, Mr. Fool just wanted her to confirm the bookmark, but now Ember is in place in one step.

And it did not arouse anyone's suspicion from beginning to end.

Hey?

Audrey blinked, like, this is not a bad thing, is it?

Although the fool wanted Mr. did not ask them to bring out the bookmarks.

But since you have taken it all, this can be regarded as exceeding Mr. Fool's task, right?

"So, now pray to Mr. Fool?"

Audrey subconsciously looked at Ember and said with some hesitation, "That bookmark ......"

"I don't care."

Ember was relieved and placed the bookmark on the table.

But before that, he took one more look.

The bookmark is printed with a portrait of Russell, which is not a remarkable feature.

After all, Searle's portraits are everywhere in the commemorative exhibition, as are the images of the emperor and the still middle-aged state.

But Ember is not looking at the bookmark itself, but at its intrinsic detail.

[Bookmark of Russell's creative manuscript]

[Russell the Great's bookmark sandwiched in a creative manuscript,

I can use it as a bookmark.

There seems to be some kind of hidden secret in the bookmark,

If you find it on a trip,

It must be of great help. 】

Meanwhile, Audrey sat at the dresser and reverently whispered the name of the 'Fool':

“…… I did as your dependents requested, and damaged the bookmark a little. ”

"It's, it's having an abnormal reaction."

Have an abnormal reaction? It seems that it is really a "blasphemy card"!

After getting the reply, Klein, who entered the gray mist, was first overjoyed, and then inexplicably exclaimed:

"Miss Justice is too efficient, isn't she?"

"I commissioned the task in the afternoon, and she completed the verification this evening......

"Moreover, this is clearly past the closing time of the Kingdom Museum!"

"Mind readers certainly don't have the extraordinary ability to infiltrate!"

"Hey, I'm afraid her family's power is even greater than I imagined!"

"Fortunately, there is no strange phenomenon in the verification, otherwise I can only let Miss Justice pretend to be innocent and hand in the cards.

And this means that I have no relationship with the treasure...... Nothing is 100% sure......"

"But now that it's determined to be a blasphemy, I'd better start tonight."

"As long as you can get your hands on the blasphemy card, you will win!"

In the flash of his thoughts, Klein heard Miss "Justice" again:

"Mr. 'Fool' and Mr. 'Lover' also helped me with this operation. He returned to Beckland at two o'clock this afternoon, and he happened to be visiting me at the time of your family's commission. ”

Klein's right eye jumped, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"After I verified it, Mr. 'Lover' managed to steal the bookmark."

“……”

Klein opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He had just gone to visit the Russell Memorial Exhibition this morning, and was just about to let Miss 'Justice' test it out in the afternoon.

As a result, Ember just returned to Beckland and assisted Miss Justice in stealing the bookmark.

Don't you want to be so coincidental!

Most importantly.

This bookmark is in Ember's hands, does he want to get it back?

Kleynton had a headache.

Before he could act, the target of the action had already been stolen by others, how could he deal with himself?

You can't force Ember to hand in the bookmarks, right?

“……”

Crane's expression twitched, he really wanted to do this.

He was afraid that Ember would directly pull out his big sword and slap his face next time Tarot.

After all, in the eyes of the other party, I am afraid that he is just a good firewood.

But fortunately, there is still the Black Emperor, who is wronged, in front, and he can't take his turn for the time being.

Otherwise, if Ember really attacked himself, then he could only endure the pain and expel Ember from the Tarot Society.

Well.

He also had to run away from Beckland overnight, otherwise Klein, who was a member of the 'Fool', would also be in danger.

Just as he was thinking about it, Klein heard Miss 'Justice' again:

"Do you need to sacrifice the bookmark to you now?"

"Smack!"

Klein resisted the feeling of slapping the table and standing up, and his heart was extremely moved.

Miss Justice is a good person!

"Okay."

Klein adjusted his mood and said in a calm tone.

The other half, Audrey received an affirmative answer from the fool and no longer hesitated.

After winking at Ember and getting a nod of acquiescence from the other party, he picked up the bookmark and began to sacrifice.

Soon.

An illusory door opened.

And Audrey is also familiar with this, and directly puts the bookmark into it.

"Smack!"

Klein placed the bookmark on the table, happy and feeling as if something was missing.

For example.

He originally wanted Miss Justice to confirm the authenticity, and then go out in person and steal the bookmark back at night.

Now this process is omitted, and the bookmark is given directly to herself by Miss Justice.

"It's a good thing, and there might be danger if you go out in person."

Crane shook his head, leaving his slightly mixed emotions behind.

He had divined before, and his actions at night would be a little dangerous.

Although the danger of divination is not very great, it is better not to take risks as much as possible.

Well, yes, that's a good thing!

"Good."

Klein nodded with satisfaction, the Tarot Society had already initially demonstrated its value to the 'Fool'.

Mr. Fool was very pleased with this.

Okay, it's getting better.

Crane thought and picked up the bookmark again.

He gently rubbed the surface of the hard paper, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

From the outside, this bookmark is unremarkable.

But he knows that this bookmark has been quietly waiting for his 'destined person'.

Klein thought for a moment and pronounced in a deep voice in Fursak:

"One Piece!"

"The Pirate King."

“One piece！”

"Tsk."

Crane smacked his tongue, except for the too niche languages of the occult realms such as giants, elves, and dragons, he tried almost all the commonly used lingua franca, Fersak, Guversak, Rune, and Intis......

But nothing happened from the bookmark to the end.

But it's right to think about it.

Russell, who had just crossed over when he was young and was still full of passion, might use the One Piece meme.

But the making of the blasphemy card should have been at the end of his life, judging by his diary.

At that time, his spirit was undoubtedly crazy and desperate, but he also clearly showed bad taste.

This can be seen from his diary style -

Even if he talks about those serious things, he doesn't forget to show off the great achievements of Caobi.

So.

What is the way to open the Blasphemy card?

It's unlikely to be a meme from a past life, as this blasphemy card is for the people of this world.

Therefore, the word that opens the blasphemy card must not be too 'niche'.

It should be known to anyone who knows a little about Russell the Great.

In other words, it is likely that this word will also be related to the experience of Russell the Great himself.

Klein thought for a moment and first tried some curses and hopes in the various Chinese languages plus Gufusak.

Unsurprisingly, the harvest was defeated.

Immediately afterwards, he figured out what would be the most reluctant and nostalgic thing for a strong man on the verge of despair.

Suddenly, he thought of Russell's diary and thought of the prophecy of Zarathu:

"I finally asked Bernadette about the future, and he suddenly became very serious, and he said that she would hate me, hate me, and turn her back on me, and she would be a big man in the mysterious world."

"Sometimes, you really shouldn't ask about the results of divination. It's hard for me to believe that Bernadette, who is lovely, kind, loves my brother, adores my father, and feels sorry for my mother, hates me, and turns his back on me, what is it that I have done excessively? Maybe she had a crush that I wasn't happy with, and I killed that stinky boy. ”

"Bernadette." Klein was silent for a long time, then read in Intius.

The bookmark was unresponsive.

Even though he switched to Rune, Plateau, and Fursack, he still didn't get the results he hoped for.

In the end, he was left with only one choice -

It is known as the ancient Fusak language of the northern continent.

Crane sighed, and in a low voice, uttered the corresponding Gufsak syllable:

"Bernadette."

The name echoed uncharacteristically over the empty and silent gray mist, and Klein was about to find new inspiration when he suddenly felt the bookmark in his hand sink for a moment!

It immediately formed an invisible vortex, frantically absorbing Klein's spirit.

On the bookmark, the clear light rose little by little, and the image of Emperor Russell outside took on a new look.

He sat on an ancient stone throne, with a black crown set with various precious stones on his head, and he wore pitch-black armor and a cloak of the same color, and he held a scepter in his hand, and his eyes looked forward with indifference.

In the upper left corner of the bookmark, a line of text was condensed by the bright starlight:

"Sequence 0: The Black Emperor!"

Klein's originally smiling expression of surprise froze suddenly, and his right eyelid jumped.

……

Inside the villa of the Hall family.

Audrey sat in front of the dresser, elbows propped up on the table, palms supporting her chin, and muttered softly,

"I'd like to ask Mr. Fool what's the secret of that bookmark."

Ember was surprised, "Then why didn't you just ask?" ”

"That's rude."

Audrey whispered.

The bookmark is in her hand, and if she takes this opportunity to ask questions, isn't it like she is taking credit?

That's Mr. Fool!

If you make a bad impression on Mr. Fool, wouldn't it be embarrassing even if Mr. Fool didn't care?

"Ember, aren't you curious at all?"

Audrey looked at Ember with some confusion.

"I've always been curious."

Ember said slowly, "But the 'Fool' once said that he was a fair dealer. As long as I can pay enough, the next time Tarot will get an answer from him sooner or later. ”

Audrey's turquoise eyes were confused at first, and then lit up.

yes, she could have gotten the answer in an equivalent exchange, wouldn't she?

All the while, she contributed a large number of Russell's diaries to Mr. Fool.

I don't know how much it will be worth, but it's okay to get an answer, right?

And if none of her contributions are enough to get answers, neither can others.

After all, the entire Tarot Society has not been able to surpass her in this regard.

Not even Mr. Hangman!

"Uh-huh~"

The corners of Audrey's mouth curled up slightly, stood up, and walked to the full-length mirror.

Her chin was slightly raised, and it was unusually beautiful.

Looking at the slightly proud blue-eyed girl in the mirror, Audrey slowly calmed down.

"No, Audrey! You have to remember that you are a spectator and you can't do that next time! ”

Audrey patted her cheek and calmed down again.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the hallway again, it was her personal maid.

Soon, there was a knock at the door.

"Mademoiselle, Master Hibbert has returned, and Lady Caitlyn has asked me to inform you and Viscount Black to dine downstairs."

"Okay."

Audrey responded, "I'll go down right away." ”

……

"Black Emperor."

Above the gray mist, Crane placed the blasphemy card on the table, and raised his hand to rub his temples with a headache.

The Blasphemy Card contains a complete pathway, which records all the potion recipes and rituals required for the Black Emperor's path from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0, including its corresponding abilities.

And Klein wasn't too surprised by the result.

Whether it is sequence 0 is the sequence where the true god is located, or the blasphemy card contains the secret of becoming a god, these are recorded in the diary of Russell the Great, and Klein has already seen it.

But he only didn't expect that this would be a 'Black Emperor' card!

Is this a coincidence?

Or is it inevitable?

The starting point of Sequence 0 'Black Emperor' is Sequence 9's 'Lawyer', which is not surprising.

Because the hanged man once said his guess at the tarot meeting.

However, at most, he guessed that the 'Black Emperor' was sequence 1, and he didn't dare to guess that this was the sequence where the 'true god' was.

Twenty-two blasphemous cards correspond to twenty-two paths to this world.

This made Klein a little expectant and a little disappointed.

The expectation is that he only needs to find the blasphemous card that represents the path of the 'soothsayer', and he will not have to worry about the road to promotion in the future.

The disappointment was that the Black Emperor card didn't work for him at all!

There are '8' members of the entire Tarot Society, including 'soothsayers', 'apprentices', 'prayer men', 'sailors', 'spectators' and 'arbiters', but there are no 'lawyers'!

"No, you can't say that."

Klein comforted himself, "At least there's a potion formula, isn't it?" These potion recipes can also be exchanged for other extraordinary items, as well as some of the knowledge they contain about gods and sequences. ”

"Well, the next time Ember asks about the Black Emperor, I won't be speechless."

"Wait for the next tarot meeting, you can use this information to exchange with embers."

"But ......"

Crane's expression was a little strange, and Ember had helped him get this bookmark.

Now that he is trading the value of this bookmark with Ember, isn't it a little unkind?

"No, you can't say that, after all, I opened the blasphemy card."

"Ember doesn't know the 'spell' that has been opened, it's just an ordinary bookmark for him, just a temporary 'deposit' with him."

"Of course what I solved belongs to me."

"He deposited those transcendent creatures with me, and I didn't confiscate his deposit fee?"

"It's a big deal not to charge him when the time comes, just share the information with him for free."

Klein touched his chin and nodded quietly.

Well, that's reasonable.

It's me.

However, it is possible to inform Miss Justice of this information in advance.

After all, she also took a risk to test the blasphemy card.

……

Queens, home of Earl Hall, inside the restaurant.

As is customary, Audrey is praying a pre-dinner prayer with her father, mother, brother, and Ember who is a guest.

"Praise be to the Goddess!" She finished with four clockwise taps on her chest.

As soon as she finished speaking, a thick gray mist filled her vision covered by her eyelids, and she saw a praying figure in the gray mist, a figure blurred to the extreme.

He was respectfully saying:

"Great fool, please convey my thanks to the validators of this blasphemous card. For this reason, I am willing to raise the remuneration to 3,000 pounds, deducting from the 4,000 pounds that have not yet been paid, which is the share that the other party deserves. ”

"£3,000 ......"

Above the gray mist, Crane's eyelids twitched slightly, and his heart was dripping blood.

That's a full 3,000 pounds, and this time he's really made a lot of money!

"Blasphemy card?!"

The blue-eyed girl cheered in her heart with sparkling eyes, but she also clearly realized that now was not the time to show a surprised expression.

Audrey controlled her excitement and longed and proudly let the maid help her lay out the napkin.

But when Ember looked over, she winked at him again.

Trying to imply to him that he had received a hint from the Fool.

"Mr. Black."

The young man who was sitting on the same side as Ember also noticed his sister's small movements, his expression became a little unkind, and he asked without a trace, "What do you do?" ”

Ember glanced up at the young man and knew that he was Audrey's eldest brother, the earl's eldest son, Hibbert Hall.

The Earl of Hall's family had three children.

The eldest son, Hibbert Hall, the second son, Alfred Hall, and the youngest daughter, Audrey Hall.

In the nobility, no matter how many children there were, only one child would eventually inherit the title.

And this child who can inherit the title is generally the eldest son.

For example, the heir of Earl Hall has been determined to be Hibbert Hall.

For this reason, Audrey's second brother Alfred found another way out early and entered the army service. At present, it is supposed to serve in the colonies of the Southern Continent, and it is said that it has also established no small feats.

Even if he can't inherit the title, the feats he has established may be enough to earn a hereditary title.

However, this does not mean that Hibbert Hall, as the eldest son, does not need to work hard.

Although he has been confirmed as the heir to the title, he still needs to make some achievements to prove himself.

Prior to this, Hibbert had been a member of the Soot Reduction Association and the Flue Gas Reduction Association, and had been actively promoting the formation of the Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee.

As a result, he rarely returned home in the previous months, and naturally he never met Ember.

It was not until the end of September that the bill to establish the Air Pollution Investigation Committee was finally passed in Parliament.

But even though the bill had passed at the end of September, Hibbert had finally had the opportunity to return home after more than half a month of busy work.

Oh, by the way.

The reason why Ember can understand it so clearly is because these are all said by Miss Audrey herself.

Just now, in the room.

"I ......"

Ember gathered his thoughts, and just as he was about to speak, Earl Hall took the initiative to relieve the siege and said, "Viscount Black's family has a lot of prestige in Wintershire, and is now serving in St. Samuel's Cathedral in Beckland. ”

"Viscount? Wintershire? Church of the Night? ”

Hibbert's expression moved slightly, and he buried his head in cutting the tender steak on his plate and put a small piece of steak in his mouth.

The border nobleman is just a viscount, and this identity itself is not outstanding.

But he was from Wintershire, and he served in the Church of the Night.

There is no doubt that this Viscount Black has a much closer relationship with the Night Church than with the Kingdom of Rune!

Hibbert wasn't stupid, and he knew very well why his father would open up to help him.

"It's good."

Hibbert swallowed the steak in his mouth and said, "Alfred also wanted to join the Night Church, but unfortunately he chose the military. ”

Hibbert sighed, shook his head, and didn't continue.

Their family were all faithful members of the Church of the Night.

Alfred's joining the army instead of the Night Church was actually motivated by his own interests.

"Tell me about you."

Earl Hall smiled and didn't speak, but Lady Caitlyn quipped, "Alfred's current exploits in the Southern Continent can even be exchanged for a hereditary title, you as an elder brother, don't lose to him." ”

"Absolutely not!"

Hibbert raised his head and said with a radiant look, "The Air Pollution Investigation Committee was established the day before yesterday, and the chairman is Sir Desshaw, and I am the chief secretary!" On the parliamentary side, bills on air pollution will also be introduced one after another. From now on, anthracite and charcoal will become the mainstream! ”

After a pause, Hibbert admonished, "Ash, if your family can spare some spare money, I suggest you invest in Coim Corporation!" Although it's still a small company, I'm sure its share price will continue to climb in the next year! Trust me, you won't be disappointed with this investment! ”

"Sounds good."

Ember nodded in agreement, a thoughtful expression.

"Then brother, why don't you invest in it?"

Audrey asked, as if she were curious.

"I can't invest anything in it."

Hibbert shook his head, his expression a little hesitant, as if he was thinking about how to explain it to Audrey.

Earl Hall tapped his finger on the table and said slowly, "Hibbert is the chief secretary of the Air Pollution Investigation Commission, and he cannot be involved in business activities related to anthracite and charcoal. ”

"Although this will allow us to earn hundreds of thousands of gold pounds, it will seriously affect Hibbert's future!"

If he was an ordinary nobleman, he might choose 100,000 gold pounds.

But for the Hall family, who were not short of money, Hibbert's career as the eldest son was obviously more important.

Ember knew that Audrey was actually asking this question for him.

But alas, he is not very interested in money.

"Ash."

Hibbert saw Ember's lack of interest and admonished, "Don't underestimate this investment, in fact, even if you don't invest in Coim, I suggest that you shift your family's focus from land to other industries as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, Hibbert couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "Since the Grain Act was repealed, the life of the nobles has become more and more difficult. ”

"Grain bill?"

Ember frowned slightly.

For some reason, the development process of the entire kingdom of Rune gave him a rather familiar feeling.

In particular, this so-called 'Grain Act' gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

Although he didn't deliberately understand it, Ember also knew that the core of the Grain Act was to protect the price of the country's agricultural products, and the biggest beneficiary of this was the traditional landed aristocracy of the Kingdom of Rune.

But after the repeal of the Grain Act, food prices plummeted.

For ordinary people, the repeal of this bill is undoubtedly a good thing.

Because their cost of living has been significantly reduced.

But at the same time, a large number of ordinary peasants, and even minor aristocrats, went bankrupt.

And it is foreseeable that food prices will continue to fall in the coming days.

"Yes."

Hibbert shrugged, "Do you know Duke Negan?" He was the nobleman who owned the most land outside the royal family, claiming to have more than 12 million gold pounds in fields, pastures and forests. Last year, his rent income reached a staggering £1.3 million! And this year, the foreseeable total rent income does not exceed 850,000 pounds, a full reduction of 450,000 gold pounds! ”

"And you know, it's been less than four months since the Grain Act was repealed!"

"450,000 pounds?"

Audrey exclaimed, muttering quietly, "That's more than all the possessions I can get." ”

"Hahaha."

Earl Hall smiled dumbly, "My dear Audrey, trust your father. I promise you that you will definitely get more than that. ”

"Really? Thank you Dad. ”

A smile of surprise appeared on Audrey's face.

Hibbert looked at his sister a little helplessly, although the other party took away the wealth that belonged to him in the future, Hibbert did not have any dissatisfaction with this.

Because this is her own sister after all, and she can neither inherit the title like herself, nor is she destined to achieve the same success as Alfred. So the only compensation they could do was to give her an extra portion of the property when she came of age. ”

What's more, Count Hall is one of the top three bankers in the entire Rune Kingdom, with tens of millions of people, and there are not many richer people in the entire Rune Kingdom.

It's only a few hundred thousand gold lists, just a little money.

There are Audrey's 'gags', and the atmosphere at the table is extremely harmonious.

It wasn't until Ember took his own initiative to take his leave long after the dinner was over, and Hibbert was still a little reluctant.

"I'll send him."

Audrey blushed slightly and whispered.

Lady Caitlyn was stunned for a moment, and then smiled playfully.

Audrey sent all the way far away, until the maid who accompanied her followed far behind, and it was not until she made sure that the extraordinary people in the villa could not eavesdrop at this distance, Audrey suddenly whispered, "That's a blasphemy card." ”

Ember glanced down at the girl and immediately knew she was talking about the bookmark.

It was at dinner that she was summoned by the Fool.

"One more thing."

Audrey asked in a whisper, "Can you help me prepare a potion recipe for the Medicine Path?" ”

Viscount Glerint had been asking her about this question for two months, and even Audrey, as a 'spectator', was a little upset by the question.

"Yes."

Ember bowed slightly, it was just a potion recipe, not a big deal.

"Thank you."

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief.

Just after speaking, her cheeks suddenly turned slightly red, and she ran towards the villa shyly.

I don't know, I thought she and Ember were talking about something shy.

Back at the villa, when the girl came to the living room to greet her family. The teasing eyes of her parents and brother seemed to make the girl shy enough to retreat again, and she fled the scene with a red face without saying a word.

"Pedal Pedal Pedal T

In the drawing-room, Mrs. Caitlyn heard footsteps coming from the stairs, and her expression seemed to be doting and a little helpless.

"Really."

Back in the room, Audrey's expression returned to normal, and she said to the golden retriever dog next to the bed with a little distress, "Dad, do they want to marry me off so much?" ”

I have to pretend in front of my parents every time, and I'm tired.

Susie's mouth moved, and she made a sound that shook the air, "I can't give you a definite answer, I can't even deeply understand what love means, after all, I'm just a dog." ”

Hearing this, Audrey was speechless for a while.

She just sighed, her expression rather helpless.

So, why is it the way it is?!

——

"Hibbert."

In the living room, Earl Hall took a sip of the queen's black tea handed by the maid on the table, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Viscount Black?" ”

"Very good."

Hibbert pondered his words for a moment and then said, "Viscount Blake is quite humble in character, and he does not have the impetuousness and flamboyance of other young nobles. To be honest, I've always wanted to be friends with someone like Viscount Black. ”

Earl Hall bowed slightly, and said slowly, "His family is from Wintershire, and the members of his family have served in the Night Church for generations, I think you should understand what this means?" ”

"Of course."

Hibbert nodded slightly.

The level of the knighthood does not mean everything, and Hibbert himself knows this.

It's like their family only has the title of earl, but in terms of wealth alone, they are far richer than most of the old dukes and marquises. Even compared to Duke Negan, it is also superior.

And although Ash is only a viscount, his relationship with the Night Church also makes his status far higher than that of ordinary nobles. After all, in front of the Church of the Night, not to mention the aristocracy, even the royal family has to honestly stand aside!

Earl Hall took another sip of black tea and said slowly, "As you can see, he is an extraordinary, and so is Audrey. ”

"Audrey?!"

Hibbert's expression changed slightly, "But ......"

"I know what you're trying to say."

Count Hall interrupted him, shook his head, and said, "She's been searching for something related to the extraordinary world, and it's only a matter of time. And you should know her character very well, you can't stop it. ”

After a pause, Earl Hall smiled again, "At least we should be glad that Audrey didn't follow Alfred's path or join the Night Church, did she?" For us, becoming a 'wild extraordinary' is probably the best option. ”

Hibbert's eyes moved slightly, father, is there something in his words?

However, it is actually true in the literal sense of the word.

The biggest problem for the wild extraordinary is the lack of money and resources.

But they are aristocrats, and they are also big bankers, and the last thing they lack is money.

In fact.

Hibbert also didn't want to be extraordinary.

But he eventually chose to give up.

After all, there is a risk of becoming extraordinary, and that risk is not low.

He was still young, and he was well placed to inherit the title, so there was no need to take the risk of becoming extraordinary.

Just like Earl Hall, he did the same.

Just as he was thinking this, Hibbert suddenly heard his father's voice again.

"Hibbert."

Earl Hall spoke slowly, "Ash is now working as Audrey's occult teacher, and I have already told him that he will usually come to teach Audrey when he has time. My advice is that you try to stay at home these days. When Ash comes, reach out to him and ask him for advice on how to be extraordinary. ”

"The Extraordinary?"

Hibbert's expression was a little subtle.

To be honest, he didn't really want to take risks.

"Don't worry."

Count Hall smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, he should have some way to reduce the risk of getting out of control, and this method may be the secret of the Night Church, and only people like him who have served the Night Church for generations are qualified to know." ”

"As long as you master this method, you can become an extraordinary person relatively safely."

Earl Hall looked into Hibbert's eyes and said earnestly, "Your mother and I are old, but you are still young. There's nothing wrong with wanting to go further politically, but at least I want you to have some self-preservation. ”

"Just like the Duke of Negan, as the largest landed nobleman in the entire kingdom of Rune besides the king, and at the same time the head of the Conservative Party, and the brother of the current Prime Minister, isn't he also an extraordinary man?"

"Okay."

Hibbert was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, "I'll talk to him." ”

"Hmm."

Earl Hall patted his eldest son on the shoulder with a look of relief.

But in addition to this excitement, there was also a trace of deep worry in his eyes.

Their family is one of the top nobles of the Kingdom of Rune, but they are also loyal followers of the Goddess of the Night.

As the current earl, he will not and cannot easily stand in line, he can only 'invest'.

Audrey is already deep in it, but it's not enough.

So he needs to increase the size, and Hibbert, the next earl, is a good choice.

As for the royal family, the earl has already bet-

The second son, Alfred, still serves in the army today, which is a form of 'allegiance'.

If it had been, Earl Hall might not have been in such a hurry.

However, due to Ember's contact with Audrey, he can't help but investigate Ember and his family in Wintershire with some selfishness.

And this investigation did allow him to find some clues.

Earl Hall's instincts told him that in just the last few years, the situation could change dramatically!

Soon, a storm will sweep through the entire kingdom of Rune.

And if they want to survive this storm, they must prepare early.

……

"Blasphemy card."

Walking down the streets of Hillston, Ember is thinking about Audrey's farewell reminder.

The bookmark was a blasphemy card, which he didn't expect.

However, although surprised, Ember did not regret much.

The bookmark obviously needed the corresponding 'password' to open it, and Ember didn't know the password, so it would only be a waste if the bookmark was left in his hand.

Not to mention.

He doesn't have much demand for the blasphemy card either.

So far, his only impression of the blasphemous card is that of the so-called 'oracle' -

One god wanted him to collect all twenty-two blasphemous cards, especially the Moon and Mother cards.

But Ember does not intend to act in accordance with the so-called 'oracle'.

Suddenly, Ember sniffled and smelled a strong smell of blood.

Ember frowned slightly, and when he looked up, he saw a lady in the living room in front of him.

The woman's expression was full of pain, and there was a large wound in her abdomen, and the internal organs seemed to be completely gone.

At the same time, Ember heard the voice of "Hehehe".

It's like something is eating.

Looking closely, on the side of the female corpse, there was a large black dog squatting, its mouth was half open, revealing sharp white teeth that made people tremble, and on each tooth, there were rust-like dark red marks, which seemed to be the result of eating flesh and blood for a long time but not cleaning it often.

At this moment, the large black dog's teeth were still wrapped around blood-colored small intestines, and there were dots of torn raw meat.

Its head moved, and its magma-like eyes reflected the embers.

"Serial homicide."

Ember immediately thought of the corresponding case, but he only felt ridiculous.

The so-called serial murder case, the murderer is actually a dog?

And the extraordinary man of all Beckland was caught for more than two whole months, but he couldn't catch the dog.

Ember sneered, shook his head and turned away.

"Lotus!"

A demonstrative roar came out of the throat of the large black dog,

Huo Ran, the black dog's body swelled rapidly, turning into a monster two or three meters high, and behind it,

A pair of huge bat's wings slowly spread, and beside their ears are claws covered with mysterious patterns.

Within its wet and shiny hair, red and blue flames jumped out, and the strong smell of sulfur escaped, like a demon!

Lotus!

Another low roar rang out from the shadows.

Before the demon dog could pounce on the embers, a corrupt wild dog with scarlet eyes burst out of the shadows and bit the demon dog's neck.

It wasn't meant to be a fatal injury.

Especially for demons who are physically strong.

However, between the words, the scarlet corruption that once killed the gods spread throughout its body.

Just in the blink of an eye.

The Demon Dog's hideous body fell weakly, and the scarlet scarlet spread all over its swollen body!

And for all this to happen, Ember didn't even look at it.

He just calmly strolled down the street, returned to 117 Birningham Street, and entered through the door.

"How many times have I said it?"

Sitting on the sofa, holding the white calves in both hands, Furth complained, "Open the door, open the door!" Is it that hard to open the door? ”

"Next time, definitely."

Ember shrugged perfunctorily and asked a little strangely, "You haven't slept yet." ”

"I'm waiting for you!"

"We didn't even eat dinner, so we waited for you to cut the cake together, and you didn't come back so late!" ”

Ember glanced at the unwrapped cake on the table and fell silent.

"My bad."

Ember raised his head and said seriously, "Not next time." ”

"I won't take you with me for my next birthday!"

Furth snorted to express his displeasure.

"Alright, alright!"

Hugh smiled and said softly, "Now that everyone is here, let's cut the cake." ”

……

"It's so big, how can you eat it!"

"It's okay, the two of you can eat together."
