Chapter 21: A Miscalculation of Schemes
"Anthony, aren't you really going to join me in the ritual of summoning the 'sea god'? This will be a major breakthrough in our occult science! ”
After the auction, Eddard, who had obtained several extraordinary materials, said with some excitement, and it was clear that he couldn't wait to go back and perform ritual magic.
"Uh... I'll forget it, I just like pure occult knowledge. ”
Anthony shook his head with a smile, and while sighing helplessly in his heart, he used his "twisting" ability to slightly change Ed's impression.
Well, even if he arranges the ritual magic to summon the "Sea God", it will fail because of the lack of some key things.
This change was simple for Anthony, who was familiar with ritual magic.
"Okay, but it's too late today, let's stay here for the night."
Leaving the cruise ship where the auction was held, Ed took Anthony to find a local, high-end hotel, open two rooms, and live directly in it.
And because of Ed's company, Anthony also got Mrs. Elma's promise before he left, and he didn't have to go back to the manor tonight.
This is exactly in line with his plan.
"Okay Anthony, good night."
After a brief wash, Ed yawned goodbye to Anthony and went back to his room to rest.
As a nobleman, it is a good habit to go to bed early and wake up early.
But tonight seems like it's been a sleepless night...
Back in his room, Anthony stood by the window and began to capture the news brought by the wind using the ability of the "Wind Bearer" -
The man who bought the tentacles of the Mundt jellyfish was leaving a carriage in the docks at this time.
This is an advanced use of "Resist the Wind".
When he opened his eyes, Anthony immediately wiped his face, and his appearance, body shape, and posture all changed.
He had reverted back to the tall northerner with a rough face!
Although this appearance is easy to be spotted by the Aurora Society, it can also hide Anthony's careful thoughts, which is his "Faceling" ability.
After determining the location of the target again, Anthony immediately jumped out of the window, and using the abilities of "Wind Favorer" and "Twist", he quickly melted into the crowded street, and no one noticed the anomaly.
——
"Captain Potter, is the 'Righteous Knight' really coming over at such a late hour?"
With the blessing of the goddess of the night at night, Alec glanced at his watch, and as a member of the superintendent's squad, it was important to always know the time.
"I don't know, but since that report email says so, all we can do is wait."
Porter. Keith rubbed his temples a little irritably, something he'd been doing a lot lately.
Because this evening, the superintendent's logistics staff found an email in the mailbox that I don't know who sent it, and after opening it, I realized that it was a report letter.
It clearly states that tonight the "Righteous Hero" will appear in the docklands of Beckland, where he has a long-planned plan!
The appearance of this email immediately made the entire superintendent busy.
And Potter, who was originally in charge of the case. Guise, too, was tragically transferred here as the main person in charge of the operation.
In fact, he has made an appointment with his wife to have another daughter tonight...
After waiting for a long time, Potter's heart couldn't help but start thinking about some things in a mess, but the next moment, his expression immediately became serious again.
Not far away, a brilliant signal flare lit up the night sky within a radius of several miles.
It was a flare fired by a companion crouching elsewhere in the docks!
Potter and Alec glanced at each other, immediately got into the carriage that had been prepared, and hurried in the direction of the flare.
At the same time, on the streets of Hulanges in the dock area, several cloaked figures were frantically chasing a figure.
"Hmph, dare to provoke our Aurora Society, this is your road narrow!"
As a madman of the Aurora Society, the leading man was obviously not afraid to divulge the name of his organization, and regardless of the fact that the streets were dodging the gaze of onlookers, he shot out strange balls of light.
And the companions beside him are also full of tricks, using all kinds of weird and uncomfortable abilities.
"It's really bloody!"
The figure chased by the Aurora Maniac is naturally Anthony who wants to quietly snatch the tentacles of the Mengde jellyfish.
His original plan was to grab and run, and with the ability of the "Facelings", he could casually blend into the crowd and blind this group of Aurora Maniacs.
It's just that he didn't expect that the members of the Aurora Society were not only ambushed around, but even the man who bought the Mengde Jellyfish tentacles turned out to be members of the Aurora Society!
What's even more desperate is that these Aurora Society madmen are all Sequence 7 extraordinary, which makes Anthony, even if he has several abilities, have the only way to escape when facing them.
"Come quickly, if I don't come again, I'll be blasted into a sieve!"
Seeing that several attacks behind him were clenched, Anthony thought helplessly.
As an extraordinary person who aspires to be more than the "three families", Anthony is used to leaving himself a back hand in everything he does, so as to be prepared for it.
Now, it's time for this backhand to come in handy!
"Hahaha, does the dignified 'righteous knight' actually have a time to run away? We're all vicious criminals, come and get us! Hahaha! ”
When the leading Aurora Club member saw Anthony's embarrassed appearance, it seemed that a long-standing anger had been released, and he couldn't help laughing.
According to this trend, it is only a matter of time before they catch up with the "Righteous Heroes", and in such a short period of time, it is impossible for the night watchers to react.
The members of the Aurora Society, who knew a lot about the night watchers, thought proudly that the other extraordinary people said that their Aurora Society was just a bunch of crazy people who could use force, but who would have thought that their scheming and strategy were also very strong!
Even this "righteous knight" who killed several extraordinary people is still being chased by them like a lost dog?!
The leading members of the Aurora Society felt that they had probably not been so proud for decades, no wonder the extraordinary people who used their brains looked down on their Aurora Society, it turned out that it was such a fulfilling thing to use stratagem to kill the opponent.
The corner of the man's mouth hooked up a cruel smile, and then he consumed his own spirit, and outlined several balls of light that exuded an evil aura, and threw them towards Anthony, who was still fleeing in front.
"Righteous Knight", go die!
