It was late at night, and the whole street was already covered in darkness, except for the monotonous white glow of the electric street lamps flickering in the darkness.

There aren't as many overnight shops as there are in the neighborhood, and almost all of them close after dark, let alone late at night. Under the tent of night, all of them were shrouded in silence, and only a few wild dogs barked from afar.

"I see—not just Hepburn and Danvers, but even the injured apprentices haven't been discharged from the hospital?" In the almost frozen silence, a deep voice suddenly sounded, "I see, tomorrow I will find a suitable time to go to the infirmary to investigate the situation of those two doctors." If they really want to move forward with that so-called 'plan' recklessly, we should be prepared accordingly. ”

In the attic on the top floor of Leonster's house, a table lamp with a dim yellow glow provides insignificant illumination to the attic. By the light of day, you can see that the attic is cleaned, and there are potted plants on the shelves everywhere.

There was no doubt that it was Curt who spoke, and he was leaning against a handrail of wooden sand, his eyes half-closed and muttering. He was dressed in a loose garment, and if he wasn't still whispering, he looked as if he had fallen asleep leaning against the sand.

Of course, he wasn't sleeping, but talking to Lizzie, who was using the soul connection to convey the message. He had been taking care of the pile of potted plants in the middle of the night as Lizzie had requested, but he received contact from Lizzie halfway through, so he had to sit down on the sand in the attic.

Although sometimes it comes out of a mess. But Lizzie is very mobile—sometimes before he can act, Lizzie has already achieved results. This may also make her more rewarding, but it is also easy to put her in a dangerous situation...... Maybe she's not afraid of that.

He had already expected that there would be a "True Eye" in the Catrice Academy. However, the specific members are not yet known. Perhaps the biggest takeaway from Lizzie's actions tonight was that she had found two people who belonged to the True Eye, and they were still preparing a plan for the Academy.

But Lizzie wanted to quietly infiltrate the infirmary to investigate the situation about Danfoss and Hepburn, but unexpectedly, under the suspicion of Dr. Humpty Dumpty, the supposed peaceful infirmary building was turned upside down. It is conceivable that although the other party is in a hurry to implement the next plan, he will definitely be on guard.

"Well, I know. For now, it's a priority to find more information about the True Eye. Liqi said something again, and Curt nodded with a knowing expression, "Although it can't be said that it is useless to catch peripheral members. But that would startle the snake. ”

The enemies they faced this time were very cunning, and Curt felt that neither the black-clad mage nor the two doctors lurking in the infirmary were core members of the organization. Catching them will not deal a decisive blow to the very body of the True Eye.

Be patient when fishing. If you catch a small fish or shrimp on the surface of the pond and you alarm the big fish that are lurking at the bottom of the pond. That's more than worth the loss. Touching only the surface will not dismantle the organization, it will only make their subsequent actions more stealthy and cruel.

Because he firmly believes in his own rightness, his methods can be extremely cruel - the members of the True Eye that Curt has seen so far give him such a feeling. They do not hesitate to harm others, even to the point of slaughtering the inhabitants of the slums, just to bury unimportant secrets.

In fact, without the moral education received since childhood or the effective restraint of relevant laws, a person in the "primordial" state is not much different from a beast. There have been many records in history that attest to how reprehensible some people have become.

Conversely, however, the actions of some martyrs are not necessarily "just" - they can harm the unarmed for the sake of their own goals. Perhaps so to speak. They are insisting on their own "justice", which is why they have committed cruel acts.

Values and ethics determine a person's behavior. Some people will sacrifice themselves for a passerby they don't know. There are also those who hurt those closest to them for their own small interests - but they are only carrying out their own ideas.

Contradictory ideas lead to conflict, after all, it's easy to hate people who don't have the same "philosophy" as they hold - in Lizzie's words, "You don't stand on the same page as me, and you don't act according to my ideas, why should I give you a good face for no reason?".

Maybe Lizzie just doesn't give a good look, maybe sometimes she mocks with a condescending attitude, but the organization of "True Eyes" is too fierce. They will not tolerate anyone who dares to disobey them, and anyone who does not even know that they have zài may be implicated.

"It's ironic, I thought it was some old friends, but I didn't expect it to be a bunch of crazy people. Curt was amused by his miscalculation, which was supposed to clear the way, but ended up getting involved in the trouble himself, "You're right, sometimes we think we've made the right choice, but it's ......"

He was about to continue, when footsteps were heard near the staircase leading to the attic below. As the footsteps approached, there was a wailing sound of "crunch, crunch", which had already deteriorated, and one could not help but wonder if it would break it with a single foot.

Curt sighed, originally talking to Lizzie with a soul connection late at night would not be noticed by anyone, but now there is an extra person in this family who will react to some movements: "Wait a minute, it seems that the little ghost heard the movement and ran over, I'll find a way to break him up first." ”

Recently, the boy has been wandering between the study and his bedroom, and there is nothing he can do if he hears some movements, after all, the Leinster family's study is at the staircase directly below the attic passage. But Curt didn't expect the boy to come to the study late at night.

He scrambled to his feet from his armchair, then picked up the watering can he had set aside, and tended to the potted plants in the attic as Lizzie had instructed.

A moment later, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Curt turned around and saw the young man walking slowly up to the attic with a fluorite lamp in his hand. Seeing Curt walking to the top of the stairs looking at him, he froze for a moment, and then continued walking up the stairs as if there was nothing.

"Mr. Leinster, are you here taking care of these flowers?" the boy looked a little embarrassed, and he stumbled as if trying to find a suitable excuse, "I heard some noises when I was about to go to the study just now, and thought you were talking to a guest, so ......"

As he spoke, he looked nervously from side to side as he ascended the attic, but there was nothing in the attic but Lizzie's bonsai. Most of the potted plants collected by Liqi from various places have rare appearances, and some are even rare plants that do not grow in the Dominion.

Looking at Curt, who was taking care of these strange plants, the boy became even more nervous, and even his words were a little slurred: "Excuse me, Mr. Leonster, it seems that I disturbed you...... But why are you taking care of these plants at this time, it's the middle of the night. ”

It's better to be more normal than going to the study to get a book at this time - the teenager's level of changing the subject is obviously not at home, and even saying this sentence seems a little stiff. Curt glanced at the large thick tome he held in his hand, with the words "Toxins and Drugs: A Primer to Alchemy" written on the spine.

But at least he wasn't lying, at least he was going to the study. Curt had noticed that the boy had recently begun to study books on alchemy techniques - probably the fastest technique he could find to master power, and it didn't require the ability to cast spells.

He thirsted for power, to avenge the black-clad mage who had taken the life of his companion, and even if Curt had entrusted this to the more specialized Hermia, he would not shake his thirst.

Long-term abuse of drugs can poison people, and long-term immersion in a kind of emotion can also make people insane...... For example, hatred and anger, excessive emotions are easily addictive. This may be a relatively easier way to vent one's feelings, but it may not be able to liberate oneself.

"The things Lizzie got were just as hard to take care of as she was, especially the plants on the shelves over there. Curt smiled, then pointed to the bonsai by the window, "I think if you want to learn alchemy, you have to learn to deal with strange alchemy materials, such as these plants. ”

He gave the boy a low look, signaling that he knew what he had been studying lately, "There is one more thing, I'm sure you'll understand." I know you're vengeful, but what you want to do has to be based on you're alive, you know? Knowledge is power, and learning is important -- but you have to have a healthy body first. Study, but don't overdo it, I think you'll understand, right?"

The boy's eyebrows furrowed, and he took a half step back, but he quickly stepped forward and exclaimed, "But there is no time! I can't stop at the thought that the guy hasn't been punished yet—I must have the strength to bring him down!"

"Stupid—if Lizzie had heard you say that, she would have said that. ”

Curt was not impressed by the young man's urgent thoughts, he spread his hands and said, "You should also know—no, it is impossible not to know—that the gap between you and the black-clad mage is fatal. Ability, experience, and mentality cannot be compensated for in a short period of time. ”

Then he cleared his throat loudly and put the watering can on the side shelf: "I can understand your thoughts even time, but I can't let you go. To put it mildly, even if you go to study and seek strength, your body will be exhausted before you gain enough strength. ”

It's killing yourself—Curt said, glaring at the boy. (To be continued!)
