Outside the northern side of Beckland.

After the afternoon tarot meeting, Firth and Hugh arrived in a carriage. Because today is not just Monday, it is the day of the Tarot meeting, and it is also the night of the full moon, and the members of the Abrahamic family also need to be 'healed' on this day.

The carriage drove straight into a large manor house, and was parked outside the main house along with dozens of other carriages of various types. Later, she and Furth each led a petite and cute Lori into the main house.

"Miss Forthth."

As soon as he stepped through the door, Dorian Gray greeted him with a smile on his face, and he looked left and right, and asked belantly, "Mr. Ash still hasn't come back?" ”

Seeing Dorian's thoughts, Furth smiled lightly:

"He's back, but he doesn't want to be bothered by these trivialities, so I'll still be responsible for the 'treatment' after that."

She was also responsible not only for the treatment, but also for the follow-up contact with the Abraham family. However, Furth did not say it explicitly, because she believed that Dorian could hear what she was saying.

"Is that so?"

There was a look of disappointment in Dorian's eyes, and he smiled bitterly, "For him, maybe it's just a trivial matter. ”

Firth showed a slightly dissatisfied expression, as if it was because she saw Dorian's thoughts - although Firth had proven that she also had the ability to 'heal', Ember was obviously more trustworthy in the eyes of the other party than Firth as a 'beginner'.

Of course, in Furth's opinion, there is a more convenient means of 'healing', and that is to pray to Mr. 'Fool' for protection. Instead of having to gather together to use the 'healing tears', there are no strings attached to praying to the 'Fools', they can pray whenever and wherever they want, and they don't have to come to Beckland.

And this may be the true meaning of the prophecy of the Abrahamic family, "Only fire and fools can save Abraham". However, neither Foirth nor Hugh would have informed Abrahams about this. After all, they are also selfish.

Dorian, of course, didn't know what Furth was thinking, he just hesitated and asked:

"Miss Furth, how many more times can you use your healing powers?"

"More than a dozen more."

Furth asked quietly, "Even if you run out, you can re-record, what's the problem?" ”

Dorian was silent for a long time, then said slowly but firmly:

"I hope to take this opportunity to try to be promoted to Sequence 6 Recording Officer."

"Your potion has been completely digested?" Furth asked subconsciously.

"Yes." Dorian laughed a little self-deprecatingly,

"It's not just me, many of the family members have already finished digesting the potion, after all, we've been in Sequence 7 for too long."

Furth looked at her inexplicably, and she was not surprised by such a result. After all, for the Abrahamic family, who have mastered the complete apprenticeship path and the method of playing, the digestion of potions is not the end, and the biggest obstacle to their promotion is the curse that comes from the bloodline!

It is important to know that even for the average extraordinary, the higher the sequence, the higher the risk of losing control. And for the cursed Abrahams, the risk was even greater than that of the ordinary extraordinary! Because it's not just the Full Moon, but as they try to improve their extraordinary sequences, the Whispers will also come at the same time, and the Whispers will be much crazier than the Full Moon!

Fortunately in the low sequence, the Abrahams can survive the babbling with their strong willpower and the help of some magical items. However, once they attempt to advance to Sequence 6, which is truly the threshold of the middle sequence, the level of horror they suffer from will increase exponentially.

And this has also led to the fact that for thousands of years, the Abraham family has never given birth to a single true mid-sequence extraordinary, even an Elder-like member like Dorian has only a sequence 7 at most, because those who try to advance to sequence 6 are already out of control in their babbling!

And now he is willing to try to be promoted, also because Foirth has the healing tears that can heal the babbling. This ability may be able to help him through the toughest of curses when he is promoted.

This is not surprising to Forth, as it is evident from the Abrahamic lineage. Despite the curse, the Abrahamic family has never been resigned to mediocrity for thousands of years, and even if they are scattered around the world in the form of small families, most of them have not given up their legacy. Otherwise, he would not have maintained such a terrifying scale of hundreds of extraordinary beings under the curse.

They didn't try to get promoted because they knew they would die. But now that Abraham has a chance to fight, they certainly won't let it go. And the only problem is that this opportunity is not in their hands -

Because the person who has the ability to heal the whisper is Ember, and the only other person who has Lemanor's travel notes can record these abilities.

Firth was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked:

"You must have other magical items made from the extraordinary properties of the Recorders, right?"

There's no reason why the Abrahams, who are able to give away magical items like Lemanno's travel notes, don't have other extraordinary items of the same type.

"Yes."

Dorian nodded, and said frankly, "There are at least five more magical items of the same type, but I can guarantee that none of Abraham tried to secretly record this ability during the last treatment. ”

"What's the use of just talking? Even if you secretly recorded it, I wouldn't know. Furth whispered in his heart.

Of course, Furth is just complaining. She knew that Dorian didn't need to lie to her, after all, the initiative was in her hands. For if a member of Abraham's family secretly used a similar extraordinary object to record healing tears, then Firth could have used this as an excuse to refuse further treatment.

And even if Abraham succeeded in recording healing tears, it would not last long. Because every recording is an iteration, and the effect of each iteration is only 80% of the previous iteration, which means that the recorded 'healing tears' effect will only get worse and worse, not to mention that the success rate of this iteration is not 100%!

With the failure of the records and the decay of the effect due to iteration after iteration, it will not be long before the Abrahams lose their ability to heal, and at that point they will have to turn back to the help of Firth and Ember. And once there is a precedent of betrayal, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to get help.

It's impossible for a member of the Abrahamic family not to understand what Forth could understand—it's better to be honest than to risk a flip and secretly record their abilities. That's why Dorian showed up here and took the initiative to reveal to Furth the purpose of his attempt to be promoted, so as to ask for her help. Of course, this is actually a test of Forth's attitude towards their promotion.

"Yes."

Furth bowed slightly, and said bluntly, "But explain in advance, I am only responsible for the use of abilities, and I am not responsible for anything else." I'm not sure if 'healing tears' will eliminate the whispers you hear when you get promoted, so you'll have to weigh the risk of promotion yourself, Mr. Dorian. ”

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Forth."

Dorian chuckled, his voice was not loud, but his eyes were unusually determined, and he said softly, "As for the risks, they are unavoidable, but I am ready, and each of us is ready to die for the family." If something happens to me, Verdu will take my place and speak to you on behalf of the Abrahamic family. ”

Furth nodded silently, and seemed to suddenly remember something, reminding:

"Do you have any clue about the Mr. X I told you earlier?"

Dorian was silent for two seconds, and his face, which was originally a little relaxed and comfortable, suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"Based on the portrait you provided, Ms. Forthth, we can almost confirm that this is one of those people who betrayed Abraham to join the Aurora Society in the first place. And combined with the strength they had when they defected, this Mr. X was probably my student, Louis Vaane. This person is very dangerous, if you encounter him next time, remember to avoid him in advance! ”

"How dangerous is it?"

Hugh asked rhetorically.

As the 'Arbiter' Pathway Sequence 7, she can effortlessly remember anyone's face and image and accurately reproduce it. It was from the portrait of Mr. X that she provided Abraham to determine the identity of the other party - although the other party wore a mask at the party, his body shape and height could not hide it, after all, he was not a faceling.

Dorian glanced at the short lady and admonished:

"He was already a recorder when he betrayed us, and now he may even be a traveler. You should already know what the Apprentice Traveler and Recorder are capable of, and in many cases he is even more difficult to deal with than some demigods! ”

Hugh and Firth looked at each other, and it was immediately apparent.

The 'Recorder' can record the demigods' full force strikes, while the 'Traveler' allows them to have fast movements that most demigods can't. When facing demigods in certain ways, the 'Traveler' of Sequence 5 can easily escape, and there is even the possibility of counter-killing! Of course, this is only possible. After all, every demigod's ability is very powerful, and even if they are not as flexible as the 'Traveler', they cannot be easily counter-killed.

As they spoke, they were led by Dorian to the hall of the party. Hundreds of extraordinary members of the Abraham family gathered together, and unlike the previous apprehension and nervousness in the villa on the outskirts of Port Priety, Abraham, who had already experienced a treatment, was full of confidence in this treatment, so the corresponding atmosphere was much better.

They gather in groups of three or five, sitting or standing to exchange various things, some take pastries and fruits from the buffet table with plates, and those who want to escape the hustle and bustle for a while enter the balconies attached to the hall to look out at the garden and the dusk of the sky. And for the coming red moon and the curse, they are not worried, because the Abrahams already have a way to fight the curse!

Foirth rubbed the little Lori's head beside him dotingly, and asked with concern:

"Kurala, do you want something to eat?"

"Hmm~"

The pink-carved little Lori raised her little face and whispered, "Ice cream." ”

Furth hesitated and looked at the table. Although there are all kinds of fine pastries on top, there is no ice cream. After all, it's already December, and it's already winter. Even if the temperature in Beckland rarely drops below zero, it's not warm at all, and no one would have thought that anyone would want to eat ice cream in the winter......

"I'll tell the ...... cook right away"

Dorian was just about to speak when he heard this, and a girl next to him who also heard the request suddenly lit up, and immediately said, "I can make ice cream, and there are materials in the kitchen, so I can start making it now, but I still need the help of two trick masters!" ”

"Me, me, me!"

"I'm coming! I've been promoted to Sequence 8 a long time ago, and I'm more skilled in spells than you! ”

"Come less! Who wouldn't know how to make ice! Say it as if it takes a lot of proficiency! ”

The young men and women next to them suddenly lit up, and they scrambled to raise their hands one by one. Eventually, the three lucky ones were picked by the girl and followed her into the kitchen. As for the usefulness - although the master of tricks has no combat power, one of his abilities is to make the water cool down and freeze quickly. Although the winter is already cold, it is obviously unrealistic to want to make ice cream freshly based on the weather alone. And the ability of the master of tricks, if used directly in battle, although it is useless, is still quite interesting in life.

Dorian retracted what he had meant to say, and half-jokingly:

"I think the ice cream should be ready soon, but I'm more curious, what is the relationship between these two girls and you? It can't be your daughter, right? ”

It is definitely impossible for a daughter, after all, these two are also in their early twenties, how can they have a pair of eleven or twelve-year-old daughters?

"It's a babysitter, no, bodyguard." Furth said seriously.

"Oh."

Dorian nodded knowingly, probably guessing which of their relatives had too late to take care of the child and handed it over to them to take care of.

He took two delicate pastries from his lunch tray and fed them to Curaris as he reminded:

"You weren't followed when you came, were you?"

The reason why Mr. X appeared in Beckland was because he noticed that Beckland was watching the gathering of members of Abraham's family. Hugh and Firth could be sure that they had left no trace, but the members of the Abrahamic family were not necessarily able to do everything.

Dorian, for example, was his apprentice. It only takes one face-to-face between the two sides, and Mr. X will probably be able to recognize Dorian and follow him all the way to the manor. And the Abrahamic family has hundreds of people, and these hundreds of people may be followed!

"No, it won't."

Dorian replied in a more relaxed tone, "Many of our members had arrived in Beckland a month earlier, and most of them had moved into the manor directly after arriving, and the procurement of food and supplies was done by hired servants. And after receiving your reminder, I also reminded others in time, telling them to avoid going out as much as possible and not to use their abilities. Ever since those traitors joined the Aurora Society, we have often 'played hide and seek' with them, and we are quite skilled in dealing with the Aurora Society. And ......"

Dorry paused, restrained his smile, and said in a deep voice, "This won't last long!" ”

As long as he can successfully advance to Sequence 6, it means that the Abrahams can ignore the curse for the time being! There are not a few members of the family who have stayed in Sequence 7 for a long time like him, which means that the family can have multiple Sequence 6 Extraordinaries in a short period of time!

And once he becomes the 'Recorder' of Sequence 6, the Extraordinary of the 'Apprentice' path can truly possess combat power, and even with those magical items in the hands of the family, the Recorder of Sequence 6 can also have far more extraordinary abilities than other Extraordinary Beings.

And as long as you can successfully promote to the Extraordinary of Sequence 6, then with the passage of time, Sequence 5 or even Sequence 4 will no longer be a luxury! And among those extraordinary who betrayed Abraham, the strongest ones are still only Sequence 4, because they have not mastered the potion recipe for Apprentice Path Sequence 3.

This also means that as long as Abraham can have his own demigods, they don't have to hide like they do now! With demigods, they also have the ability to compete with the Aurora Society, and even have a chance to reclaim the lost seals from those traitors!

Maybe one day, they will be able to make Abraham great again!

"Oh? Is it? ”

A joking voice suddenly sounded in the living room, which immediately made everyone in the hall tense up, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from. On the balcony facing the dusk, a figure stood there at some point.

He was of medium height, dark-skinned, about 1.75 meters, wearing a black classical robe, a peaked country magician's hat, and a brass mask on his face, with a quaint and mysterious temperament.

Dorian's body suddenly stiffened, and his back was cold. Although there was a mask that made him unable to see the man's appearance clearly, he still recognized the man in front of him for the first fourteenth year - Louis Vane!

In the betrayal of Abraham by his apprentices many years ago, his proudest student was one of the masterminds!

Dorian's expression became a little stiff and bitter, and he had just sworn in front of the two ladies that he would not be followed. As a result, the other party has followed to the door of the house, which is undoubtedly a naked slap in the face.

He didn't care about his old face, but the other party had followed him all the way here, how could it be just to slap him in the face? For all these years, these traitors have never forgotten to look for traces of the Abrahams, just to exterminate them?

The corners of Louis Vane's mouth rose slightly, he pressed his hat, walked to the hall like a gentleman, and even smiled and waved his hand at Dorian:

"Teacher Dorian, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much, are you okay?"
