As dinner came to an end and the magic show was over, everyone cleaned up the hall and utensils, and quickly finished all these trivial things......

The two groups of people stood outside the gate, ready to separate, when Bligh said, "Lady Natalie, it's so late, I'd better send you and Blake back!"

"Otherwise, it will be too dangerous for you to go back on your own."

"No need, you're so busy all day, let's rest early tonight!" Natalie shook her head and responded, "Besides, I'm not afraid of those, don't I still have the three of them with me." ”

"He's had an easy day, and he's been busy there?" Noll retorted, reaching out and pushing Brian out from behind.

"Go and send it off."

Noll's shot was a bit strong and sudden, if it weren't for the strong balance of the "magician" and the ease of stabilizing the sense of imbalance, I'm afraid Brian would have fallen to the ground all at once.

From this, it can also be seen that Knoll is obviously a little anxious.

Brian stabilized his figure, bowed his head and said with a wry smile: "I know brother, I didn't say I won't go!"

Then he turned to look at Ms. Natalie and shrugged, "You saw it all, right?"

"Hehe, I see." Natalie covered her face and chuckled, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

"It's an honor, it's not a hassle."

With that, Brian took the lighted lantern and sent the four of them home.

When everyone else had left, only Knorr and Bertha were left at the door.

The former was entangled in his heart for a while, turned his head slightly, and then whispered: "Bertha, why don't you leave?" Thought to live with us, in the room vacated by our parents. ”

In the end, Noel was afraid that he would go too far, so he quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just think it's not safe or convenient for you to live alone......"

This is the second time Knoll invited Bertha, the first time was a few years ago.

At that time, everyone was young, and the two brothers were taken care of by him, so they asked once, half-seriously, half-jokingly, but they were rejected.

I asked again today, and naturally there was no joke.

After this sudden earthquake, Knoll knows the fragility of people, and maybe when he or someone close to him leaves because of something, he wants to let everyone spend more time together.

Bertha stood under the eaves, the light of the hall and the moonlight reflected on her face, and the evening breeze blew the long hair on her shoulders, revealing that lovely but mature face.

She pondered, and finally nodded slightly.

"Good!"

A smile tugged at Noel Morris's lips, and he quickly turned around and pulled a small object out of his bag.

"This is for you."

Bertha saw through the light that it was a small, delicate four-leaf clover earring......

Brian took a lantern and walked on a deserted street with Natalie and Blake.

At this time, the streets have long been cleaned up, and there is no longer the tragic situation of a few days ago, and it does not look much different from usual.

This was done in collaboration with the "Church of Goddess Nature" and a large number of inspectors, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such efficiency.

Brian walks in the middle of the front, so that he can be lit by a horse lamp. Behind him are four people talking and laughing, and he who is moving forward silently is like two worlds.

Suddenly, Ms. Natalie said, "Mr. Magician, do you usually talk like this?"

Brian didn't stop, turned his head, and smiled, "It's usually like this, I rarely communicate with people."

"That's not going to work! The magicians I've seen are very talkative......" Natalie kept talking again.

Brian sighed inwardly.

It's obviously a lady in her thirties, how can she be so jumpy?

I remember when I was at Mr. Myers' house, she was very dignified.

While sneering, Brian turned his head, ready to wait for the lady behind him to speak almost before saying a few more casual words.

But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to stop everyone.

For he saw a woman dressed in white standing at the end of the street without a street lamp, hidden in the crimson moonlight, motionless, looking very strange.

What is it?

When Brian was confused, Natalie saw that something was wrong based on his performance, so she first asked the three children not to speak, and then asked herself, "What's wrong?" ”

Brian continued to stand where he was, frowning and saying, "There's a woman in white in front, right in the area where the street lamp is broken."

"A woman in white?" Natalie panicked and quickly thought of some weird urban legends.

She closed her eyes in fear, drew a simple "tree of nature" on her chest, and said "goddess bless or something".

This is the symbol of the goddess of nature.

After praying several times in a row, Natalie opened her eyes and looked ahead, trying to see what it was, but was momentarily confused.

She didn't see anything!

This made Natalie even more scared, and she thought that it was very likely that she would encounter a ghost like a ghost that could disappear invisibly.

In order to confirm or disprove her suspicion, she immediately asked, "I didn't see it, did the woman disappear?" ”

"Huh?" Brian's brow furrowed even tighter as he listened.

The woman didn't disappear at all, and she never disappeared. And at this distance, ordinary people can see it clearly, and he can't figure out why Ms. Natalie would say that.

Can't she see? Or is it only visible to "professionals"?

In order to figure out what was going on, Brian kept his eyes off the woman's movements.

At the same time, he said, "Ms. Natalie, you don't see anyone in front of you?"

I don't understand why Brian asked again when she had said it once, but Ms. Natalie nodded truthfully, with no emotion other than fear.

The question was confirmed, and Brian asked the three Blakes again, "Do you see the people in front of you?"

The three children were so frightened that they huddled into each other and didn't dare to move. After hearing the inquiry, they all shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen anything.

"Hmm." Brian nodded, making sure the problem was with him.

It was at this time that the woman in front of her moved, and rushed straight towards the five people. But instead of walking on two feet, it floats in the air and is very fast.

But just as Brian was about to take out the revolver he had hidden on his body, the woman faded and disappeared.

At the moment when the woman disappeared, Brian saw the other party's appearance, which was the appearance of Demi Sully.

Ma Lantern rolled to the ground, and he fell to his knees, holding his head in his hands, and shouted hoarsely: "Why! Why! Why! ”

Demi is looking for me, why is she looking for me?

Did I really kill him?

No...... No...... No way!

The only reason left in his heart made Brian not shout out the next words, but just knelt on the ground with a trembling body.

Seeing this, the four people present were frightened, especially the three children, who all stepped back and kept their distance from Brian.

After a few seconds, Natalie reacted and crouched down to check on Brian's condition.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Say something, say a word, Brian!"

Brian didn't seem to be able to hear her voice, but he still held his head and kept whispering.

Blake couldn't stand it anymore, and took a few steps forward to check, but it didn't work.

And Wendy and Matt, who watched him leave, were embarrassed to hide any longer, and immediately surrounded Brian......

A group of people who didn't know the specific situation and couldn't get a response from Brian couldn't do nothing, Natalie simply said, "Let's take him to the hospital quickly."

"Good!" The trio answered, and Brian pulled it up, trying to put it on Natalie's back and carry it to the hospital.

But just after putting on a hand, Brian suddenly stopped talking, and instead kept panting, and the movements of his hands were much more normal.

"Is this okay?" Matt asked, confused.

That's what the other three think.

"Alright, it's okay, let me down!" Brian shook his head weakly, cold sweat on his forehead.

He staggered away from Natalie's side and rested with his back against the wall of the street.

After gasping for breath a few times, Brian pleaded with Natalie, "Tonight's thing...... Can you not tell my brother and Miss Bertha? ”

Natalie didn't answer, but cautiously asked, "Are you okay......"

Brian's expression was haggard, but he shook his head with an unusually firm expression: "It's okay, I can handle it!"

"I promise you, I won't tell anyone about tonight." After thinking about it, Natalie finally nodded.

After all, she and the Brian family haven't known each other for a long time, and I'm afraid it's not good to talk nonsense, but she definitely won't care.

"Thanks, count me in for owing you once." Brian then relieved himself and remembered what had just happened.

He didn't know exactly what was going on, but he must have been affected by something unknown.

This can only be done tomorrow with Ms. Catherine, or Mr. Cole.

Unable to figure out what was going on, Brian simply gave up thinking, then straightened up and said forcefully, "Keep going, I'll send you all back first."

"Forget it, you're like this......" Natalie hesitated, not wanting Brian to send it again, for fear that the other party's side would not be able to hold on and there would be problems.

Blake also said at this time: "This has not gone far, or we will send you back together." When you go back, we'll go back. ”

"And you don't have to worry about us, we all came here before we met you, let alone walk at night."

Brian waved his hand, picked up the lantern again, and after making sure it wasn't broken, he said, "I'm really fine, let's go!"

Seeing his tough attitude, everyone had no choice but to follow......

After about ten minutes of walking, Carlin Street arrived.

Brian sent the three children into their rooms, took five pounds and put them on the table for living expenses, and finally said before leaving:

"I've been busy lately, so I've been paying more attention to things and taking care of myself."

"Also, I'll be looking for connections to get you into the academy in the next few days. Don't worry, I will do what I promised. ”

These were said to Wendy and Matt, and the two of them nodded, saying "thank you" in their mouths, and there was no longer the same deep indifference and suspicion as at the beginning.

And, of course, the confession to Blake.

Brian looked at the boy who was only half his height and said softly, "What about you?" What do you want to do if you don't want to go to college? ”

"Tell me about it, as long as it's reasonable enough, I'll help you."

The young man looked down and thought for a while, then asked, "Why are you helping us so much?"

Brian sighed for no reason: "There is no special reason, I just think you are pitiful, and my heart is not bad, and I want to try my best to help you."

Guessing what the three children were thinking, he said, "I don't ask you to do anything to me, I just hope that I will be able to help other people like you in the future." ”

"Of course, it's not mandatory."

"Then ......" Blake hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Then I want to be a magician, can you teach me?"

"I'm sorry, I can't teach you." Brian considered it carefully and finally refused.

Blake became emotional: "Why? It should be easy for you! ”

"No...... No. Brian decisively denied it, and then reached out and patted the young man's shoulder and comforted: "You can't walk the way I walk, but I will find you a teacher."

"Before that, I'll teach you some magic tricks, and as for the rest, I really can't help it."

After saying this, Brian sighed infinitely in his heart.

It is really unfair that only one extraordinary opportunity can surpass the efforts of ordinary people for years, decades, or even a lifetime!

No, it seems fair too......

Eventually, Blake agreed to Brian's offer with a little disappointment.

Brian said no more, closed the door, and sent Ms. Natalie away.

After watching the whole process, the beautiful lady on the side couldn't help but joke: "Hehe, how can you say the same as your last words?"

As the words fell, Natalie remembered the scene on the street just now, stopped laughing for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "I'm not right, am I?"

Walking on the road, Brian rolled her eyes helplessly, but in the crimson night, the lady would not see at all.

"Ms. Natalie, it's not what you think, that's an exaggeration!"

"Okay." Natalie was half-convinced, and in order to test Brian if he was lying, she asked, "Then since it's okay, why don't you teach Blake magic?"

Guessing what the lady next to him was thinking, Brian changed a similar but different rhetoric to just now: "He can't learn my magic, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to try to learn."

Natalie had a flash of inspiration, and when she combined this passage with a casual conversation over dinner, she spotted a problem.

"Knorr said, you've only been learning magic for a few days......"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Brian, "Ms. Natalie, would you be interested in seeing a psychiatrist?"

“……”

Natalie's home is at 32 Asiland Street, a sprawling estate. She stood at the door of the manor, her eyes flickering, and she said softly, "Mr. Brian, are you interested in coming to my house to sit?" ”

"No!" Brian looked calm and immediately turned to leave......

By the time he got home, it was nearly 1 a.m., and his brother Knoll had already rested.

After putting out the lantern and putting it on the shelf, Brian tiptoed up to the second floor as little as he could, and then twisted the door open to see that the bedroom light was still on.

He hesitated, walked into the bedroom, and at first sight saw a strange young man wearing a black top hat, a trench coat of the same color, and black hair and black eyes.

The young man sat on his desk, looking down and playing with a small golden oil lamp.

It is the magic lamp that can fulfill the wishes of others.

Brian's expression tensed instantly, and he quickly pulled out his revolver, aimed it at the strange man, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The strange young man looked up, as if he had just noticed Brian, smiled embarrassedly, jumped off the desk, and raised his hands again, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

But Brian didn't dare to make the slightest mistake, still holding his gun in both hands, staring at the young man's every move.

"Allow me to introduce myself." The young man slowly took off his top hat and put it on his chest, and very gentlemanly bent down and said, "I am Sherlock Evans."

At the end of the salute, Sherlock Evans straightened up, his top hat still on his chest, and said seriously, "I'm sorry to enter here without your permission, but you'll forgive me, won't you?"

His eyes were clear and sincere, like a child seeking forgiveness from his parents.

Brian was stunned, he couldn't understand what the person in front of him was doing.

However, his vigilance did not change, and the pistol did not move a bit.

Sherlock didn't care, as if he hadn't seen it, and continued to say to himself, "I'm here to take the liberty of bothering this time because I want to make a deal with you......

"Deal? What is the deal? Brian asked cautiously.

"This ......," Sherlock said, half-raising the golden oil lamp in his hand, "I would like to exchange this wishing lamp with you."

Wishing Lamp...... Does he know what that lamp is capable of?

Brian's heart was shocked, and countless thoughts popped into his head for a while.

But he still instinctively tested: "Since you know the power of this magic lamp, then you should also understand how precious it is, what can you give in exchange?"

Sherlock smiled: "It's indeed precious, but it's useless to you, and if you make one more wish, you'll die......"

"Rather than that, you might as well trade it for what you need, and I have a lot to offer you."

"For example, the information you want to know, the knowledge of the occult, the supernatural items with magical powers, or the methods and rituals to quickly master the 'magician' and be promoted...... These can be used as conditions of exchange. ”

Quickly master the "magician" ability method......

Hearing this, Brian's heart was moved, and this was exactly what he needed now.

But is the guy in front of you credible?

Wrong...... If he's so hurtful, then why don't you just grab it? Is it because you have high self-standards?

After thinking about it, Brian decided to be a little more careful: "Then what if I refuse and don't want to make this deal?"

Sherlock's expression remained the same, he had always been polite, but it was very unpleasant to look at.

"The initiative of this deal has always been yours, if you refuse, then I can only wait for you to come later."
