After leaving the bar, Klein rescued the victim girl in the alley and found a secret puppet who could act as an interpreter, which was a temporary solution to his language barrier.

The predecessor of this secret puppet was just a very bastard ordinary person, and his physical fitness was not even strong, if it weren't for Klein breaking through the scene where this person bullied the girl, he would not have transformed such a useless secret puppet.

After briefly confirming the situation of the secret couple, a lark quietly flew down from the sky and crouched on Crane's shoulder.

Nornes looked at the puppet and let out a low cry.

"yes, I don't think it's very suitable, so I can only fill the vacancy temporarily...... But you still know that? ”

The lark flicked its feathers, and Crane knew what Nornes meant—it didn't understand much, it just didn't like the secret couple.

Klein always thought that the lark was playing dumb, but there was no evidence.

"Find a hotel to stay in first."

With that, Klein told the new butler, "Auf," to pick up his luggage and head to the city's bustling and dilapidated borderlands. This kind of place is often a mixed bag, indifferent to outsiders, and without any regular management, which is more suitable for Klein to hide his tracks.

Nornes turned his head around Klein's shoulder, curious about everything around him, and it was rare to see so many strangers.

In Dawn Dantès's mansion, Nornes spends most of his time in his bedroom or study, and Klein never takes him to the ball for fear of getting into trouble. However, because Klein's dance teacher had contact with Nornes, there was always some news coming out, and most people knew that the wealthy businessman had raised a very well-behaved bird.

Klein glanced at Nornes as he looked at the passers-by, and smiled slightly, but his heart was a little heavy.

Esther was still not heard from.

The lark called softly, dragging Klein back from that worry, "It's nothing, I'm thinking about something." What's wrong? ”

The lark smacked his lips and looked at Klein expectantly.

Klein smiled and shook his head, and the gloom that had just emerged was suppressed by him: "Okay, I understand, there will be a chance to take you to taste the local specialties." ”

Having said that, Klein naturally did not break his promise, and after finding the hotel, he ordered a special barbecue from Byron and delivered it to the guest room.

While Nornes was happily enjoying the chopped barbecue strips, Klein had already finished his share, and he was sipping the black tea in his cup, thinking about where to find the right secret mate.

Because there were no clues, Klein finally decided to use divination and search slowly.

Noons swallowed the last strip of meat, burped, and happily rolled around the plate twice, almost hitting the teapot next to him, but luckily Crane removed the teapot in time.

The lark, who had almost caused trouble, looked up innocently and lazily at Klein.

"I'm curious where you're eating all that." Crane spread his hands out in front of the lark, and Nornes immediately jumped up and let Crane pick himself up.

However, when he noticed that Crane was about to put himself back in the box, the lark let out a rapid chirp, looking very dissatisfied.

"I'm going to find a new secret couple, and I'm likely to have a fight, so it's inconvenient to take you with me." Klein patiently explained.

The lark looked at the closed and narrow box, flapped his wings and flew to the window, and then circled around the window a few times.

Nouns's meaning couldn't be more obvious, and Crane was relieved by its self-awareness: "You want to go out for a walk? Well, as long as you remember the location of the inn and be able to retrieve it yourself. Don't fly too far and remember to come back here before midnight, you know? ”

Nornes called twice, and Crane could hear a sense of nonchalance in his perfunctory answer, but he smiled wryly and opened the window, letting the bird that had been held for so many days fly.

After a hundred steps after dinner, I lived to ninety-nine, and Esther seemed to have told me this......

Or maybe I'm misremembering. Crane straightened the trench coat on his body, changed his appearance to be a very ordinary Rune, and left the hotel with Auf.

Finding a branch to use as a divination staff, Crane began to use this inefficient way to find his new secret mate.

——

Enzo was a lucky man, he considered himself.

In his forty years of life, he lived a very balanced life, and as a mixed descendant of the Rune and Bairon, he was abandoned by his father and disgusted by his mother, which made Enzo suffer enough from childhood to youth.

Because of his diligence and perseverance, he was appreciated by an old gentleman, and he became a student of the other party. And after becoming an extraordinary person and drinking the "monster" potion, Enzo's life has been full of good fortune, which is to make up for his past misfortunes-

"I deserve it," he always thought.

Even when he betrayed his teacher and defected from the School of Life, Enzo was thinking.

He was tired of the rules of the school, all the trivial and boring theoretical studies or self-restraint. He aspires to be able to use his extraordinary abilities as he pleases, to become an absolute "winner", and to satisfy himself to the fullest.

So Enzo chose to obey his desires and accepted the temptation from the outside, and he followed another part of the extraordinary people of the "medicine master" path to join the Rose School.

"Indulgence", isn't this exactly what he wants?

Enzo's good fortune has never led him to lose, and tonight, at least so far, he's managed to climb down the cliff, his body steady on the uneven edge, and no one is following him.

The self-satisfaction of being a "winner" and the good fortune of escaping death brought a smile on Enzo's face.

Enzo was also present when the "Red Glove" team of the Church of the Night raided the hideout of Ulica, the "Dark Dead". He came on behalf of the Rose School to discuss cooperation with the "Dark Dead" of the Spirit Order.

It is not difficult for Enzo, who is proficient in anti-divination, to get rid of the occult traces left by himself, and he is not the main target of the Night Church, and the Hound of the Church does not know his identity, which is the key to Enzo's ability to escape.

Enzo returned to the street and walked down a steep flight of stairs to get out of here as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, his spiritual intuition was touched and he was keenly aware of something, which made Enzo subconsciously hold his breath, ready to launch a "spiritual storm" at any time, wanting to launch a counterattack against the unknown existence that made him fearful.

But this vigilance was quickly dispelled.

Enzo saw a small bird, he didn't know what it was, but it looked like a sparrow, but it was a little larger, with a pale yellow feather tuft on its head, and it was emitting a faint light.

The light was wonderful, exuding an inexplicable attraction, which made Enzo subconsciously slow down and lean over to slowly approach the bird.

Pitfall? Who would use such a weak creature as a trap...... Wrong!

Enzo suddenly reacted, realizing that his mind was affected, and he immediately stopped and turned on his vision to probe the situation around him.

Enzo let go of his spiritual restraint and observed the bird—an act that made it difficult for him to take his eyes off it anymore.

He couldn't describe what he saw, because from the "visual" point of view, it was just a pure and gentle light, not like the brightness of the sun with burning eyes, nor like the crimson moon worshipped by the "vampires", the light itself was full of illusory ethereal, more like some kind of condensed spirit.

Seeing things that shouldn't be seen is a part of life for the "monster" approach, but Enzo has never been in such a situation right now.

He even had an inexplicable intuition that he hadn't seen anything, and that what stayed in his perception was just a shadow like a candle flame.

But this did not make Enzo sober, but because he was staring at that little light, he was unconsciously attracted to the past, giving birth to more longing greed.

As he slowly approached the bird, the fragile creature did not panic, but tilted its head curiously and looked back at Enzo with light eyes, which surprised Enzo that his good fortune must still be at work.

When Enzo was only half a meter away from the bird, he suddenly launched a "spiritual storm" against the bird.

That was the end of Enzo's good fortune.

The bird let out a sharp cry of terror, but was not harmed, and instead spread its wings and flew down the stairs.

Enzo's eyes widened, "Wait, wait!" Don't leave! Come back! ”

He stared at the light, chased after the bird in a panic, and was so focused on it that he had completely forgotten what the teacher of the school of life had taught him—"Do not be deceived by what you see and hear."

Enzo only wanted to catch up with the light, to get closer to it, and he stared closely in the direction of the bird, as if the only untouchable light in the world was the real side.

In the shadow at the end of the staircase, sat a man with the appearance and dress of Dongbailang.

At the sound of Enzo's stumbling footsteps, the man pulled one out of the matchbox in his hand and swiped it vigorously, another ball of light flickering from his fingertips.

Enzo should have noticed this man, received a sudden spiritual warning, and became vigilant.

But he didn't, and the light fell brightly, and the bird stood on the man's shoulder and turned around.

The man who was crouching at the bottom of the steps popped the burning match behind him, and gracefully stepped out of the figure in the top hat in the swollen flames.

Enzo was still looking in this direction, and at the moment when his spiritual instincts suddenly frantically warned him, it was too late, and he saw a gray mist and the blue-black phantom of the gate that surrounded it.

Before Enzo could even comprehend what he was seeing, he collapsed down the stairs screaming, scratching his cheek and covering his painful eyes.

Crane easily grasped Enzo's spirit thread.

Nornes left Auf's shoulder and landed on Klein's shoulder, chirping softly twice.

"Let's go back and talk about what you came with you privately."

Hearing Crane's cold tone, the lark shrunk his neck. (End of chapter)
