Chapter 103: Fatalistic Inevitability

As night came, the world fell silent, but the castle still moved through the forest, its tall chimneys belching smoke and its huge mechanical feet making a heavy noise against the earth.

All the trees in the way were easily cleared, and Calcifer had the strength to get to the location of the map.

It seems that because of the particularity of this island, the surrounding fog is thicker, thicker than the imperial capital, and you can't see your fingers, even if most of the spring has passed, there are still some trees that don't have half a leaf on them, and they are bare, and there is an indescribable sense of depression.

In the living room on the first floor, Char sat on a chair and lit a fire, and there was no one in the living room, not Isabel who had been on the sofa.

About the other day, Alicia felt that Isabel couldn't sleep on the couch all the time, so she asked Arthur to make her a cat nest and put it by the south-facing window on the second floor.

It was the style of a small house, with a silk quilt on the inside, and even a window on one side through which you could see the scenery outside, and a small curtain that you could close when you slept.

In the past, Isabel didn't like to live there, but recently the weather has started to get hotter, and it is a little uncomfortable to stay next to Cassifer, so she went up to sleep.

"Isn't it a coincidence that this treasure map appeared?" Cassifer spoke.

"Not really." Char silently added a piece of firewood to Cassifer, and the fire flickered on his face, "All seemingly coincidental accidents are fatalistic inevitability. ”

As if thinking of something, Cassifer continued, "Whose fate is it? ”

"Our fate is over, isn't it?" Char said.

"So, is it Arthur?" Cassifer whispered.

Char took a deep breath and said, "When I was reading the biography of the Duke of Britain, I thought that his life was a little too powerful.

He helped King Cedor unify the island of Britain, then the Celts in the New World, and even occupied most of the American continent, building an empire larger than any other country in Europe.

The Celts were not a people to talk to, just look at the Sasili, as the descendants of the nomadic people, they were martial and fearless of death, and the Celts of hundreds of years ago were only more barbaric.

Nothing can conquer them except by force.

Both Arthur and Alicia have some special abilities, so I don't think Britannia is a simple person.

And what he left behind may play a key role in Arthur's future fate. ”

Cassifer thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It should be there tomorrow morning, it seems to be a place called Sleepy Valley." ”

"Anyone?" Char Road.

"According to Isabel, the material in Britannia is almost a hundred years old, and at least a hundred years ago, it was inhabited." Cassifer said.

"Then there should be people here now." Char muttered softly, "Remember to hide, don't scare the people here." ”

"No problem."

"So be it, good night, Cassifer."

Char slowly got up, he glanced at Alicia's room, but turned his head and walked up the stairs back to his room.

The next morning, Char was woken up by Alicia.

Sebas came to visit through the gates of the imperial capital.

Char had given him access to the bar beforehand, so that he could easily contact him.

By the time he washed up and walked down the stairs, he was already sitting on the couch drinking Alicia's black tea.

"Mr. Xia."

Sebas stood up and bowed to Char.

He looked at Char a little curiously at the moment.

When Char gave Merlin his fate, Sebas and Baloo had already left, and Char closed his tavern.

So Char's current appearance, Sebas has never seen it.

The difference between the current Char and the past is quite big, not to mention the appearance, but the temperament is a qualitative change.

If Char looked like an ordinary human in the past.

Now Char looks like a true hidden sage.

Sure enough, it was what Balu's predecessor said, Sebas thought to himself.

Mr. Char is too strong to separate his heart in order to weaken himself.

And now, his heart is back in his body and back to what it used to be.

He was able to kill that son of the star in one glance when he didn't have a heart, how strong should he be in this state now?

Sebas was a little unexpected.

Then, he couldn't help but shift his gaze to Alicia.

He was actually present when the angel inserted the sword in the stone that day, and he witnessed the whole thing.

So, he recognized Alicia almost immediately at a glance.

After all, the ability she showed to speak up was too impressive.

At that time, he felt that this ability was somewhat like the great prophecy used by God in Hebrew mythology when he created the world.

Legend has it that He created the world in seven days using this divine technique.

Therefore, when she revealed her true identity, although he was equally shocked, he did not feel incredible.

Who is this angel?

Gabriel?

Raphael?

Or the legendary right hand of God, the archangel Michael?

There was so little information that Sebas didn't dare to ask.

Speaking of which.

This angel doesn't seem to have an ordinary relationship with Mr. Char.

It's not as simple as being a good friend.

The day Char regained her heart, her anxiety, her euphoria, Sebas was witnessed.

Who else do angels fall in love with?

Sebas is a little hard to imagine.

"You busy man, why do you suddenly have the heart to come to me?" Char teased.

Sebas came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, "You came to me yesterday, I didn't have time to come, I was a little distracted, so I came to give you some gifts." ”

He gestured to the paper bag placed on the table.

"Inside is tea from Beichen, and I heard Mr. Semmerer say that you like to drink tea in addition to drinking."

Alicia lifted the teapot placed on the table, poured it into the teacup, and pushed it towards Char, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of tea, fresh and pleasant.

Sebas, this guy, is not very strong, but he is full of human accidents.

Sitting on the chair, Char held the teacup in one hand and the saucer in the other, gently blew away the heat on the tea, and took a sip.

"How's it going?"

"Hey, don't mention it." Sebas sighed, "Hades has been really busy lately, there are dead people everywhere, and there is no time to rest at all. ”

"The imperial capital should not have been affected by the war, right?" Char said.

"So, the Grim Reapers, who are still "idle", like us, have all been seconded to the front. Sebas said depressedly, "It's obvious that humans are fighting, and it's like Hades is at war." ”

"As the largest and most powerful race in the world, the Underworld, which collects souls, has long been tied to their fate." Char muttered softly.

Sebas nodded approvingly.

"Are you going to work next?" Char continued to ask.

"I'm going on a business trip to Europe."

Sebas said, "West France is at war with the British Isles, and Beichen is at war with Europe, and there is a shortage of people there, not only to harvest souls, but also to deal with people in the east, and to discuss the question of soul ownership, which is very troublesome." ”

"Isn't the east under your control?" Char said.

Sebas nodded, "There's another system, but it's pretty much the same. ”

"What about the Imperial Capital?" Alicia asked concernedly, "What about the imperial capital?" ”

"There's a new intern recently, and I've left it to take care of it." Sebas said, "In response to this war, Hades has opened some fast lanes to speed up the receipt of some qualified souls into the Reaper system. ”

"That's a coincidence." Char laughed, "We're in Europe right now. ”

Sebas's eyes opened in surprise, and he stood up and walked to the window to look out.

Last night Cassifa drove the castle to the Sleepy Valley, flanked by tall mountains and dense forests, and because of the valley effect, the fog was gathered in the valley, and it was difficult to disperse for a long time, and everything was shrouded in a layer of fog.

"This is in a valley on the island of Britain called Sleepy Valley." Char's voice came from behind him.

Sebas came back to his senses and sighed, "This kind of magic that can easily cross tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye, in the human world, maybe only you can do it." ”

"How did you plan to get to Europe?" Alicia asked curiously.

"It's usually by boat." Sebas said.

"By boat?" Alicia tilted her head a little confused, "That's not more than a month." ”

Sebas smiled, "You're joking, I'm talking about the boat that rides the god Caron, the god of the River Styx, and in the West, all rivers lead to the River Styx. ”

After a pause, he complained, "That guy Caron charges a lot of money, but he's a brother to the Great Death, and he won't give us any discounts."

But now I've saved a lot of money. ”

Alicia nodded.

Sebas looked at Char curiously, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Find a treasure." Char's eyes flashed with a momentary glint.

"Oh?" Sebas's face showed a little curiosity, "Is there any treasure you're interested in?" ”

"The treasure map I found while fishing yesterday." Char said. "The children of the family are very interested, and it is a treasure of the Britannica."

Children at home.

Sebas quickly thought of Arthur, who had gone with Char to pick up Moria, so he naturally knew about the child's existence and true identity.

Thinking of the sword in the stone inserted by the angel, and the name Char gave to the child, it was easy to understand the connection.

Although he didn't know exactly what Char was going to do, Sebas could still vaguely sense that this Mr. Char seemed to be playing a big game.

"I'm going to go out and ask for something next." Char said, "You should be going to work soon, right?" ”

Sebas shook his head, "No, the boss gave me a period of time to come to Europe, and since I arrived early through your door, then this time is considered my vacation." ”

He looked at Xia Ya and smiled helplessly, "Mr. Xia, I seem to owe you another favor." ”

"It's just a gesture, it's not a favor." Char said.

"What do you want to find, I'll go with you." Sebas got up from the couch and said, "My soul searching secret technique is quite good, and I have worked in the Hades Execution Ground before, and I am very good at torture, and I can pry open any hard mouth." ”

owes so much favor, if he has the opportunity to pay it back, Sebas will naturally not let it go.

"I don't think that's needed," Char said with a strange expression.

He went out just to ask the villagers here, to find out the exact location of the treasure, and to assess the possible danger by the way.

"But if you want to come along, I don't mind."

He looked at Alicia, "Let Arthur wait for me here first, don't run around." ”

Alicia nodded.

"Cassifer, take care of the family."

After a final remonstrance to Cassifer, Char walked out the door with Sebas.
