[Soul +500000]

【Edward Enix】

【Extraordinary Characteristics of Ancient Alchemists】

"Smack!"

The remnants of the hotbed melted the golem and also melted the 'alchemist' within. It took the molten slag and fell to the ground, melting the ground again, smelting a huge pit of heat in the ground.

At the same time, the Iron Golem, which had lost its alchemist's control and the blessing of its life, also stopped moving.

And as the battle ended, the furious thunder in the sky gradually dissipated. 'Singer of the Gods' Ace. Snake glanced at the hotbed residue with some fear, and deliberately circled around to Ember and Archbishop Anthony, and slowly descended from mid-air.

"It's over."

Archbishop Anthony looked up at the Singer of Eyes and said slowly.

Ace. Snake frowned and asked in a magnetic voice, "Just him?" ”

Anthony looked around and said in a deep voice, "At least I didn't find anyone else. ”

He didn't think that this ancient alchemist would be alone, but he really didn't find any signs of the other party's accomplices. It is difficult, but not impossible, for a single person to become a Sequence 5 Extraordinaire if they have enough money.

But if you want to become a demigod, there must be the support of a big force behind it.

Ace Snake sighed and said with some regret, "It's a pity that the man is dead, otherwise I should be able to ask something out of his mouth." ”

They had wanted to capture them alive, but unfortunately they had already died at the hands of Ember. Ace Snake had just swept around, and the other party had not even been able to leave a spirit, and had already been burned by the residue of the hotbed. Of course, although Ace Snake didn't know the identity of Ember, he could also see that he had a lot to do with the Night Church, so he was also very interested in not being held responsible.

What's more, they are not completely untraceable.

This demigod has been hiding in Beckland for an unknown amount of time, and although he is dead, he will definitely leave many clues. As Russell the Great said: Whoever walks through will leave traces.

According to these clues, not to mention finding out who is behind the scenes, at least we must find out which force is behind him.

Looking at the regretful look on the face of the Singer of the Gods, Ember suddenly asked:

"Even if a person is dead, the soul can also ask questions, right?"

"Huh?"

Ace Snake was stunned for a moment, then saw Ember pull out a ball of light and hand it to Anthony.

Anthony's eyes lit up, and he skillfully took the light, and after a while, a male figure appeared from it. Although the form is quite illusory, looking at its appearance, it is the unknown demigod of the Earth Path!

Ace Snake looked back, his expression a little strange, but he didn't want to ask the Night Church for soul ownership. After all, they killed people, and they kept their souls. On the contrary, it was not good for his side to do things, and he almost let people run away.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Ash."

The Singer of God clenched his fist and struck his chest solemnly.

"Compared to that."

Ember touched his chin and looked sideways at the Singer of the Gods, "I'm more curious about another question. ”

"What?"

The Singer of the Gods was slightly stunned, and then he heard Ember ask pointedly:

"The battle you just now is not ordinary, I can see it in Hillston, but where are the people of the royal family?"

The Singer of the Gods' expression moved slightly.

This operation is a joint action between the royal family and the three major churches, and the archbishops of the three major churches are present, but what about the royal family? They have seen a lot of extraordinary people in the royal family, and they are indeed doing their best to cooperate with the three major churches. But the point is the demigods! Where are the demigods of the royal family?

Anthony's expression moved slightly, and he quietly removed the 'dark curtain' that covered the docks. And on the periphery of the battlefield, the elites and extraordinary people of the major churches saw the curtain disperse, and they also greeted them tacitly at this time.

Ace Snake, the "Singer of the Gods" wearing a black soft hat, swept his silver eyes and whispered to the elites who rushed to replace the punisher:

"Go find out and see what the royal family is doing!"

Among the extraordinary people present, many of them belonged to MI9, and their faces suddenly changed slightly when they heard this. But the Singer of the Gods didn't even bother to look at them, apparently he didn't care, otherwise he wouldn't have said it in front of them.

……

At the same time, somewhere in Beckland, another battle was quietly taking place.

And the movement caused by the battle here is not much worse than the fighting in the docklands. It's just that this place seems to be blessed by some kind of force, and it is in an independent space.

Although it is also Beckland, it does not intersect with the real Beckland. Nothing that happens in this way affects reality, and naturally it is not observed by reality.

And at this time, in this independent space, a whole three demigods above Sequence 4 are breaking out into a battle of unprecedented scale!

One of them was none other than the rectangular face of Prince Sunia, Grove Augustus. At this time, he was joining hands with two other demigods, who also belonged to the royal family, to launch a siege on the other demigod.

"Teleportation is forbidden here!"

"No floating here!"

"No hiding here!"

“……”

Grove Augustus mercilessly cooperated with the other demigods to make moves, imposing one prohibition rule after another, and said in a deep voice:

"Zatwin, you know what I'm talking about! Hand over the stuff and I'll let you go! ”

At the same time, a slight figure stood out in mid-air, and he staggered to the ground, barely holding on to his figure.

The figure was dressed in black clerical robes, with a black glove on its left palm, a thin face, brown skin, and sunken eyes that looked like dried corpses. The beard is black and white, spreading from the sides of the mouth to the ears, but they are not dense and quite short, and appear to be dotted.

He is the demigod of the Rose School, the mentor of the leader of the Celestial Sect, and the 'Silent Disciple' of Sequence 3, Zatwin.

At this time, this demigod, who was originally high above, looked extremely embarrassed at the moment. He didn't even bother to clean the dust on his body, and he couldn't deal with the wound he was bleeding from, and the light brown eyes that were close to the color of his skin were staring at the few people behind him with a cold face, and said in a deep voice:

"What do you want?"

"Don't play dumb!"

Grove Augustus said coldly, "We know that dog is a ghost raised by your Rose School, and the Rune Kingdom has no intention of being an enemy of the Rose School, as long as you hand over the cure for the curse and those things, we can let you go!" ”

Zatwin coughed twice, his face turned pale and blue, and he gritted his teeth, "I have no idea what you're talking about!" ”

What dog? What curse?

He doesn't understand it at all!

"It seems that you still don't want to say it, it's okay, I'll say it when you die."

Grove Augustus's eyes turned cold, and he sneered and didn't bother to persuade him again. Although the Rune Kingdom does not want to easily offend the Hidden Organization, and even has a cooperative relationship with the Witch Sect in it, this does not mean that the Rune Royal Family is afraid of making enemies with the Secret Organization!

If you are alive, you will not speak, but if you are dead, your soul will always speak.

Grove Augustus no longer spared, and joined forces with the other two demigods to launch a final general attack.

"Damn it!"

Zatwin scolded angrily, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a large number of long-prepared resentful spirits and living corpses to rush towards several people.

For ordinary people, just seeing this sight is enough to scare them half to death. But to the demigods, these things are really not a threat.

One of the demigods stopped and immediately said solemnly:

"Ghosts and ghosts are forbidden here!"

"The resurrection of the dead is forbidden here!"

Taking advantage of this moment, Zatwin's figure suddenly disappeared. It was a strange ability belonging to the Silent Disciples, who could possess other objects for long periods of time. As long as there are enough objects possessed and escape far enough, even fellow demigods will find it difficult to spot them!

Seeing Zatwin's figure disappear, Grove immediately spoke solemnly:

"No attachments here!"

In the next moment, Zatwin's newly disappeared figure once again stood out out of thin air.

"Gan!"

……

In the Beckland Bridge district, two embarrassed figures are running wildly through the streets shrouded in night.

They walked through gaslit streets and into deep, rancid alleys, where they tried to hide themselves under the cover of night. Because if passers-by see their appearance, they will be frightened and call the police immediately.

After all, one of them was as pale as a dead man, and there were even rotting wounds on their faces. His flesh had long since rotted, and white maggots squirmed outward, and when they got closer, they could even smell the putrid stench of the corpse. And the other is even more exaggerated, it is directly a werewolf covered in hard black hair!

Even from the surface alone, it can be judged that they are sequence 6 'living corpses' and sequence 7 'werewolves' of 'prisoners', and their characteristics are simply not too obvious.

And these two are obviously also members of the Rose School.

"Damn, what are these official extraordinaires suddenly going crazy! Chase after you like a mad dog! ”

Finally getting rid of the pursuers, the werewolf Tyre rested against the wall of the alley, and kept cursing and swearing.

"Say less."

Jason, a living corpse on the side, said coldly, "Lord Zatwin is dragging those demigods to fight for us a chance to escape. If it's because you're delaying ......, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance! ”

There was a hint of coldness in the werewolf Tyre's eyes, but he didn't open his mouth to refute it.

Besieged by three demigods at the same time, everyone knows that Lord Zatwin must be a bad man. They were able to take advantage of the chaos to escape, thanks to the demigods of the royal family who looked down on them little mice.

What's more, the royal family didn't just let them go, those royal lackeys of MI9 are still chasing after them! Although they also have a few safe houses in place, they are obviously not reliable when the nests are all raided.

Beckland was big, but there was no hiding place for them for a long time. The only thing they could do now was to escape from Beckland as soon as possible in the night.

"Jason, Tyre."

In a house not far away, Sharon, who was wearing a black court dress and a small soft hat, suddenly whispered, "They are the ones who are chasing us." ”

"Isn't that a coincidence?"

Klein was looking at the two figures in the alley with a strange expression, they were already ready to give up tonight's action, but you actually took the initiative to send it to the door, what is this called?

"Do you want to do it?"

'Living Corpse' Marić licked his lips and asked with some eagerness, "I missed it this time, and there may not be such a good opportunity in the future!" ”

Sharon didn't reply, instead glancing at Klein.

Klein immediately knew in his mind that Sharon must be inclined to do it, but he still needs to ask for the advice of his outside aid. After all, the reason why tonight's operation was canceled, and the reason why they were able to survive the 'Great Purge', was also thanks to his intelligence.

He himself was inclined to be more steady, but Miss Sharon had helped her after all. And now is the perfect time to get started, and you can't afford to miss it.

Klein hesitated for a long time, and finally made a difficult decision, gritted his teeth and said:

"Wait for me to do a divination first."

In front of the others, Crane pulled out the pendulum.

After a moment, he got the answer -

Good luck!

"It's done!"

Klein thought viciously in his heart.

……

In the East End, Iconser Bernard, with fluffy, messy, stubborn brown hair, holds an ancient silver mirror with strange patterns, and black gems adorn the sides of the mirror as "eyes".

He was a little nervous, because at this time the archbishops of the three major churches in the diocese of Beckland were all around him.

"Let's get started."

An old man in a white priest's robe and a clergyman's hat commanded Iconse. And he was none other than the Archbishop of the Steam Church in the diocese of Beckland. Haydn.

"Whew!"

Ikenser took a deep breath, picked up the silver mirror, and stroked the surface three times with his right hand.

After a slight pause, he spoke in a deep voice:

"Dear Arodes, my question is, where is Prince Sunia now?"

Although this mirror is only a second-level seal, its abilities are very useful. However, in order to ensure that the question could be accurately described and answered, Ikenser chose to directly locate the head of the royal family who organized the collaboration, Grove Augustus, Prince of Sunia.

The surrounding light suddenly became deep, as if dyed with the mist after the rain, and there was a strange flash of water on the surface of the silver mirror, converging a scene:

In a separate space that seemed to be surrounded by light cuts, Grove Augustus, with a rectangular face and dressed hundreds of years ago, was leading two other demigods to besiege a thin black-robed old man.

And right now, the old man was obviously a little overwhelmed by the siege of the three demigods. In a short period of time, he had been deprived of several extraordinary abilities, and he could not even escape.

While others were still thinking about the identity of the old man, Ace Snake, the 'Singer of the Gods', said directly:

"That's the demigod of the Rose School, Zatwin, a Sequence 3 Sage."

Khoramik. Haydn's originally frowning brow softened slightly, and he smiled, "Then it seems that the royal family is indeed still acting, but they were entangled by the demigods of other forces and failed to come to support in time." ”

"What do you think, Lord Ash?"

Anthony didn't say anything, instead looking to the embers to the side. As he saw this, the other two archbishops also turned their gazes to Ember one after another, with some kind inquiries.

"Perhaps."

Ember looked at the picture in the mirror and said calmly.

Perhaps because he learned that the Black Emperor was George III, he lacked the most basic trust in the royal family of Rune.

He instinctively felt that there was a conspiracy in the royal family, and even now he still thinks so. Although the other party is also dealing with the demigods of the secret organization now, and it seems that they are doing their best, maybe this is also in the royal family's plan?

Ember looked at the battle in the silver mirror as it drew to a close, and said slowly, "If it's okay, I'll go first." ”

"Of course."

Archbishop Anthony smiled and nodded, "We'll take care of the rest." ”

Iconse hadn't noticed when Ember had left, and he was listening intently to what the archbishops had to say about the royal family.

But at this moment, the picture in the silver mirror ended with the old man lying in a pool of blood. When the mirror was dark, a few lines of ancient Forsak words suddenly appeared on the silver mirror:

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it is my turn to ask questions."

"If you answer incorrectly, or lie, you will be punished."

The word "punishment" is as red as blood, as if it is still dripping liquid!

The expression on Iconse's face contorted for a moment, and then became extremely solemn.

Immediately after, the water flashed above the silver mirror, and a new line of words appeared:

"What is your sexual orientation?"

Iconse was stunned for a moment, and even the three archbishops couldn't doubt whether the royal family had other purposes, and their eyes instantly turned to Iconse.

……

Throughout the second half of the night, the extraordinaries of the three major churches were exceptionally busy.

First of all, those wild extraordinaries who were captured need to be dealt with by the major churches as soon as possible, because there are so many people who have been arrested, that even the cage originally used to hold the extraordinary is not enough.

And as the night watchmen who can pull people into the night in sequence 7, they are also the busiest of the three major churches. Because they also need to put the residents of the East End and the Docklands on the border between the two districts to fall asleep and erase their memories through the dreams.

However, most of the night watchers are more refreshed at night, and they only need to sleep for a few hours a day, even if they work all night, they are still full of energy during the day the next day.

And Ember naturally won't mix with this, after all, Anthony has already said that he doesn't have to deal with the finishing touches. He went straight back to Hilston to meet up with Al Hasson and the others who were escorting the wild Extraordinaries to the Starry Chapel.

After confirming that there was no other work to help him with, he returned home.

Standing at the door of 117 Böningham, Ember looked at the pitch-black building, there was no light inside, and it seemed that Furth and Hugh had already fallen asleep. However, as Ember walked through the door to the living room, Firth and Hugh were sitting side by side on the couch looking at themselves.

Ember asked as if he had expected it, "Why don't you sleep so late?" ”

"Can't sleep."

Hugh shook his head and asked softly, "Is there any action from the Church of the Night?" Why did you come back so late? ”

"A little thing, the capture of two extraordinary people of the secret organization."

Ember explained briefly, twisting the switch of the gas lamp on the side.

Da-da-da, da-da-da

A flame ignited and quickly grew larger, and the bright light first occupied the inside of the sconces and then penetrated the transparent glass, casting a warm color over the room.

The darkness shrank abruptly, and Crimson exited the window.

"Ember."

Hugh hesitated for two seconds, and under the expectant gaze of his friend on the side, he slowly spoke, "Foirth has something very important to tell you!" ”

"Huh? Eh! ”

Firth's eyes widened and he looked at Hugh in disbelief, didn't we say yes?

Hugh glanced at her, and said angrily, "Who let you promise others without permission?" Since it was someone else you promised, of course you had to say these words to Ember yourself. ”

"What's the matter?"

Ember looked at Furth with some confusion.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a promise to help an old man deliver something."

Firth shrunk his neck, weakly telling Ember about his experiences in the cemetery during the day, and then added in a low voice, "He said that the Abrahams would pay us handsomely. ”

"House of Abraham?"

Ember thought for a moment and then bowed slightly, "Then let's go tomorrow, it just so happens that I'm also interested in this family." ”

"Is it really okay?"

Furth asked in a whisper that was a little surprised, and a little nervous.

Ember smiled and said, "Anyway, Prydze's port isn't too far, and it only takes half a day to go back and forth." ”

"Indeed."

Hugh nodded, and said seriously, "If you take the first steam train in the morning, you should be able to come back by three o'clock in the afternoon." ”

After a pause, Hugh added, "If you can get up that early, Forthth." ”

"Hugh!"

……

The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark.

In addition, the three of Klein can be regarded as recuperating, and in the face of three half-disabled extraordinary, this battle naturally has no suspense.

And when Miss Sharon, under Crane's suggestion of 'quick and quick fix, persimmons should pick soft pinch', she took the lead in invading the werewolf's body from the shadows, controlling the werewolf's body, and allowing him to pull his neck off alive.

"Sharon, you damn it!"

With the death of the werewolf, although the remaining 'living corpse' Jason is stronger than the 'werewolf' Tyre, and although there is still Steve's possession of Sequence 5 in his body, under the premeditated siege of the three, he can only let out an unwilling roar and hate the spot.

Klein looked at Miss Sharon, who was taking a small black floppy hat, and reminded, "The official extraordinaire may arrive at any time, and we need to hurry." ”

Sharon nodded, tilted her head and asked:

"Okay, Marić?"

"Don't worry."

Marić's hoarse voice came from behind him, his pale face like a corpse emerging from the shadows, "I have made my living corpse attract the attention of those who are extraordinary, and they will not be coming anytime soon. ”

Although having said that, in order to guard against the possible arrival of the extraordinary, the three of them quickly cleaned up the battlefield very tacitly. After that, he quickly returned to his home in Casper, not far away.

……

Beckland, Queens, Sodrak Palace.

Having just fooled the archbishops of the three major churches on the pretext of dealing with the Rose School, Grove Augustus, who returned to the palace, immediately channeled the soul of Zatwyn that they had obtained.

However, when he finally completed the channeling, he still had a blue expression.

For he had not found a way to contact the curse in Zatwin's soul, nor had he found the missing letters and information.

With trepidation, he met with George III in the middle of the night, wearing the crown.

And when he finished describing the clues he had channeled, George III's face became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said in a deep voice:

"Are you trying to tell me that we have come up with nothing at the cost of uniting the three major churches, even giving up the arrangements that have lasted for years, sacrificing our loyal allies for the time we have always had? Is that so?! Didn't you tell me by swearing that those things must have been done with the Rose School?! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Cold sweat oozed from Grove Augustus's forehead, and he hurriedly explained, "These things are definitely the work of the Rose School, I assure you!" Whether it's a geist or a curse, these are the usual methods of the Rose School! This operation is probably just because we caught the wrong person. ”

If it's just the wrong person, at best, the intelligence officers below don't get accurate information. But if you even get the direction of suspicion wrong, it will become his pot. So even if even he doubts whether it is the Rose School or not, he can only bite to death now that the Rose School did it!

George III leaned back in his chair with a blank face and said coldly, "Then tell me, what useful information did you get from his soul?" ”

Grove couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly explained, "The reason why Zatwin appeared in Beckland is because he has been hunting down the temperance faction in the Rose School, and it just so happens that the temperance faction has been hiding in Beckland. At the same time, he was assigned by the god Scea to track down a 'blasphemost' designated by a false oracle. ”

George III's expression moved slightly, and he frowned and asked, "Blasphemer?" ”

"Yes."

Grove nodded, and quickly explained, "A month ago, Jacks, the Sage of the Rose School in the Rorsted Islands, received an oracle designating an oracle to collect twenty-two blasphemous tablets by an oracle wearing ten rings. ”

However, it was later discovered that the oracle was actually falsely transmitted by a demigod. The man with the ten rings was not an oracle, but a blasphemous. Recently, the Bound God has sent down an oracle declaring that the blasphemer is in Beckland. ”

"Demigods?"

George III said coldly, "Do you think that any demigod can deceive another demigod by pretending to be an oracle?" ”

Grove's face froze, and he didn't dare to refute with a wry smile.

What could he do? That's what Zatwin's soul said, and of course he had to relay it to George III. It's better to be ridiculed now than to be held accountable afterwards.

After all, although George III is theoretically his junior, he is more than a star and a half above him in terms of strength and status. In front of George III, he didn't dare to show the so-called elder posture at all, after all, he knew the consequences-

Those in the royal family who rely on the old and sell the old have long been secretly cleaned up by George III with an iron fist!

George III glanced at Grove, and was not too embarrassed for him, but asked lightly: "Could this matter have been done by temperance?" ”

"Unlikely."

Grove thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "The temperance faction has long been wiped out under the suppression of the indulgence system, and even the angels of its sequence 2 have been killed by the indulgence department, and the rest are small characters who are not even demigods. And if you want to have a curse that is enough to kill the demigods, you must at least be a silent disciple above Sequence 3. ”

George III tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said quietly:

"There are not a few saints in the Rose School in total, if it weren't for the sages of the Rose School, then I'm afraid there would only be gods."

Grove's heart sank suddenly, if it was just a Sequence 3 demigod targeting them, the Rune royal family could handle it. But if it is the angel of Sequence 1 who acts in person, the consequences can be described as unimaginable! Unlike the demigods, the angels of Sequence 1 are the real ones that could threaten their plans!

After all, even His Majesty is only ......

George III was apparently aware of this as well, and said in a deep voice:

"Ask him for any advice, he provided the potion recipe and the plan was planned by him. Now that we have a problem, we should let him help us solve it.

Grove looked up at George III with some confusion, not knowing who he was talking about, but then a corresponding image appeared in his mind. While his pupils shrank sharply, he forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart, and immediately bowed his head respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He didn't ask why George III didn't ask that one himself, because they were all Sequence 1 angels, the most powerful and extraordinary beings in the world besides the righteous gods. Therefore, they should all try their best not to cause panic in each other.

Although Grove didn't think the gentleman would panic, even the one who was in some way George III's 'teacher'. But for the Angels of Sequence 1, no matter what, not seeing each other is the best way for them to get along with each other.

……

In a hidden space filled with light, a cross hundreds of meters high was erected directly in front of it. In front of the cross, a huge vague figure stood, carrying everything on its back, looking at the spirits with pity.

In front of the giants there were rows of black seats with backrests, but there was only one prayer.

The prayer was seated in the center of the first row with his eyes closed, dressed in a rather modest white robe, with a pale gold beard that covered the lower half of his face, and his hands clasped in front of the silver cross pendant on his chest, with a warm and calm expression.

At this moment, he raised his head, revealing eyes as clear as a child.

And in front of him was Grove Augustus, who didn't know why or when he appeared here.

He slowly stood up, looked at the Grove in front of him, and said with a calm expression:

"Tell George III that everything is going according to plan and that the Rose School will not be an obstacle for us."

Grove Augustus still kept his head down, not daring to lift it.

The demigods who are high up in the real world don't even dare to move in front of this one.

And he didn't look at Grove more, because in the next second, Grove's figure quickly faded until it disappeared. In the entire radiant space, he was the only one left.

But he didn't sit down anymore and didn't continue to pray.

He just looked somewhere, his gaze seemed to pass through countless spaces, and finally landed on someone, and whispered:

"The First Fire, perhaps, is another path to the old days. And ......"

He looked up, not knowing what he saw, and looked melancholy.

Although the future is unknown, it is a path he has never explored, but at least the first fire will not be shackled and threatened by the initial shackles.

……

Wednesday, October 24th.

Ember and Foirth arrived at Plitz Harbor early in the morning by steam train, which took less than four hours. And in order to make sure that they could go home before the evening and enjoy the dinner cooked by Hugh and Curaris, they also booked the return river ferry tickets in advance.

Compared to the 'foggy capital' of Beckland, the air quality in Port Prieze is somewhat better. It's just that wherever they are, they can smell the smell of the sea in the air. However, compared to Beckland, the streets here are also much dirtier.

With no twists and turns, they easily found the Fishermen's Association in a small old building, where they met Dorian Gray.

The gentleman was of medium stature, but had exaggerated arms, and his hair was neatly combed, a far cry from the bird's-nest hairstyle of most of the Society.

Dorian sat at his desk and greeted with a smile:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Black, Ms. Wall, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Foirth subconsciously looked at Ember, and after receiving a nod of affirmation from Ember, she mustered up the courage to step forward and said softly:

"It was Mr. Lawrence who asked me to come to you."

She briefly explained her intentions, and handed the suicide note that Lawrence had left behind, along with the notebook and the extraordinary properties of diamonds.

A trace of astonishment and surprise flashed in Dorian's eyes, as if he didn't expect Lawrence, whom he had met not long ago, to pass away so suddenly. He took the items from the girl's hand with a complicated expression, and opened the suicide note first.

After reading carefully, he raised his head and looked at Furth with sincere blue eyes:

"Praise you for your kindness and trustworthiness, Ms. Wall, for the help you provided to Lisa and Lawrence, I will always remember!"

"Can you take my thanks? I would like to invite you to lunch with Mr. Black. ”

"No problem."

Firth winked at the embers, and then agreed without hesitation, she was worried about how to spend the time before the ship sailed.

"Please wait a moment."

Dorian politely invited Ember and Foerth to wait in the adjacent lounge, and offered tea and refreshments, newspapers and magazines.

Upon returning to the office, the gentleman opened a secret cabinet with a slight suspicion and took out an item.

It was a crystal ball that shimmered in purity.

Although the family has long since fallen under the torture of the curse, and although they have experienced a betrayal that cost Abraham a terrible loss, there are still many extraordinary items that they have passed down.

Dorian closed the curtains, causing the office to become groggy, and sat down.

He held the crystal ball in his left hand, touched the top with his right palm, stroked it back and forth, and whispered in his mouth, as if whispering.

Gradually, the dots of light in the crystal ball became brighter and more obvious, as if the reflection of the stars was cast in the night sky.

The stars that are often used to determine the direction of destiny and the trajectory of life emerge one after another, forming a three-dimensional astrolabe, mixed with many spiritual revelations that are suspected of symbolism.

Dorian Gray finally stopped and looked at it.

"Something to hide, but not to lie."

Dorian breathed a sigh of relief, or at least that would confirm that the Lady of Forth could be trusted.

Ran to put the crystal ball back in the secret closet, but after a little hesitation, he couldn't help but wonder a little about the identity of the Mr. Black next to Ms. Folth. After a moment's hesitation, he stretched out his right hand again and began to stroke the crystal ball.

Gradually, the crystal ball lit up again, and the bright starlight gradually became dazzling.

But in an instant, a faint light suddenly rose from the starlight. In just an instant, all the stars were engulfed in flames, and only a dazzling flame remained in Dorian's realization!

"Ahh——!hh

Dorian let out a scream and curled up on the ground in pain, covering his eyes. The crystal ball, which had been held up, also lost its support and rolled on the ground a few times until it hit the corner of the table before stopping slightly.

But throughout the process, the flames in the crystal ball grew brighter and brighter until ......

"Smack!"

The crystal ball seemed to have reached some kind of limit, and suddenly exploded with a snap like a glass ball falling to the ground.

"Fire is the ...... of fire"

Dorian endured the pain and opened his eyes, he saw the exploding crystal ball, he saw the destroyed magical object, but there was not the slightest regret in his eyes. On the contrary, in addition to the painful convulsions, there seemed to be a trace of ecstasy in his eyes that seemed to be the aftermath of the catastrophe.

"The prophecy, the prophecy has come true!"

He struggled to hold the ground with his hands, struggled to get up from the ground, and staggered towards the door, trying to find the two guests who were waiting in the lounge.

But when he came to the door, when his hand grasped the doorknob, he hesitated again.

In the end, he didn't open the door.

He rearranged his appearance and changed his clothes to look decent. Finally, he waited hard for lunch. He immediately walked out the door and ordered the restaurant to prepare the food, and at the same time went to the lounge himself to invite Ember and the two to lunch—

The reason why he endured the torment in his heart until now was that he wanted to talk about things at the dinner table, and it was said that the success rate would be higher.

"Ms. Wall."

In the restaurant's private room, Dorian Gray smiled and asked:

"What do you think of the food here?"

"Very good."

Furth replied reservedly.

In front of her mind was a fried fish sprinkled with rosemary, which was crispy and fragrant, and the meat was delicious, without fine spines, and quite delicious. The only thing worth complaining about is that the chef's aesthetic is very strange, he actually retains two bulging fish eyes, and relies on the plating technique to make them look up at the same time, as if telling the unwilling to die.

This forced her to push the head of the fish down, cut off the tail, and cover the eye facing upwards.

Dorian Gray glanced at the embers on the side without a trace, and said casually as he moved his knife and fork:

"Lisa is very fond of the occult, and she has done some research in this area, and when you finally packed up her belongings, did you see the corresponding books, notes, or objects?"

"There are some notes and books."

Firth's expression moved slightly, showing no abnormality, and he replied calmly, "I have become a lover of occultism because of this, but unfortunately, there are some things that I can't understand at all. ”

"If that's the case."

Seeing that everything was going as expected, Dorian said quickly, "Does Miss Wall know about the extraordinary mentioned in the book?" ”

Furth hesitated for a moment, but still didn't hide a little, "I know something, but those are just legends......"

"No!"

Dorian said in a deep voice, "The Extraordinary are real, Lisa, Lawrence, including me, we are all Extraordinary, we all belong to a family that was once great, Abraham!" ”

"Ms. Wall."

Dorian said in all seriousness, "Do you want to be extraordinary?" Just think I want to say thank you for Lisa and Lawrence! ”

Dorian's expression was sincere, as if he really just wanted to thank the young lady for her selfless dedication. But if you look closely, you will find that although he doesn't mention embers at all, the afterglow has always fallen on embers.

And even Furth can see this!
