The red moon was obscured by the clouds of the night sky, and the suburb of Beckland was immediately plunged into complete darkness.

A dark figure stopped in front of a common courtyard in the countryside, and he looked left and right to see that there was no one, and quickly climbed into the courtyard wall.

As soon as the black shadow's feet touched the ground, a hoarse voice in the room asked, "Who?" ”

"Lord Hillman, it's me."

"Oh,!"

The clouds in the sky fluttered, revealing the red moon again.

In the moonlight, a middle-aged man standing in the courtyard could be seen with a sincere smile on his face, it was the "swindler" who had escaped from under the noses of Hobart and Hugh.

"My lord, I have come to you to inquire about two people, a tall young man, who seems to have a certain resistance to the influence of thinking. A short woman, very athletic, and looks very capable of fighting. said: "They have been secretly watching me this afternoon, but fortunately I found out and successfully got rid of them." ”

The people in the room were silent for a few seconds before they said, "You suspect that I sent someone?" ”

smiled sincerely, "I don't doubt anyone, it's just that only adults know some of my secrets." ”

Hillman sneered: "If it were me going to deal with you, you would be dead by now!" You still want to think about whether you provoked any big people when you were cheating. ”

"Since you're not an adult, you're likely to be an official extraordinary." spread his hands: "They have ruined the plan of the adults, and it is estimated that Zachary has been controlled by them."

"I thought about it all night, and there was only one possibility, it was the ritual you had Zachary perform that caught the attention of the official transcendents, and they found me through Zachary."

never thought that it was Mr. Robin, who had been deceived by him, who had provided clues about him, and in his opinion Mr. Robin and his cousin were little people in Beckland, and at most they would have been able to find Zachary, but they would never have put the account on him.

"Hah!" Hillman smiled sympathetically: "I see, your aggressiveness just now is just to cover up the failure of the plan!" ”

He said coldly: "Although Mr. A said that there is a cooperative relationship between me and you, I should have enough respect for you!"

"But if you mess things up, you always have to be punished."

Before Heyman could argue, a solemn whisper immediately sounded in his ears, and Heyman's brain immediately seemed to be stirring with a knife, which immediately made him feel painful, and he shook his head and hit the wall with a "thump".

He now regrets very much that he shouldn't have approached this group of crazy people three years ago in order to get the "acting method".

But now it was too late, and he endured the severe discomfort in his head and shouted, "I will cultivate another 'secret prayer man' and let him willingly carry out Lord Hillman's experiments!" ”

The solemn murmur began to wane, and sat down in the corner, breathing heavily, as if he had escaped death.

Hillman in the house said: "Find a place to hide, if there is still someone to investigate, you should know what to do, rest assured, we will avenge you when the time is right in the future."

"If no one continues to track down, then cultivate a new 'secret prayer person'.

"Go ahead, I won't report your mistake to Mr. A."

leaned against the wall and got up: "Thank you, thank you for helping to cover up, I won't have a similar mistake again." ”

The whispering just now made him feel like he was seriously ill, and he had no strength to climb over the wall, so he could only hold on to the wall and go out from the courtyard gate.

As soon as Heyman was discharged from the courtyard door, a hand reached out from the shadow of the courtyard wall and closed the courtyard door.

……

In the southern continent, there are no small towns.

The morning dew was crystal clear, sliding slowly on the blades of grass and eventually falling to the ground.

Hula~

A young woman with fluffy hair and a somewhat sloppy dress ran around the grass humming an out-of-tune nursery rhyme, and the dew was on her trouser legs, but she didn't care, and had a good time.

Elliott catches up with a smile on her face and helps her pluck the blade of grass from her head: "I'm going to go out, and I want to listen to the teacher." ”

She is Elliott's older sister, Moira, and due to the limited extraordinary traits in the family, only one child in a family can take the "lawyer" potion at the age of 12.

When Moira was 12 years old, she gave up the opportunity to take potions to her younger brother.

So under the torture of crazy roars, she was like other family members who had not taken potions: crazy!

When you become a madman, the crazy roar seems to disappear, but if the symptoms of madness improve slightly, the crazy roar will return.

So the madman of the Balk family will go crazy forever.

After the Balk family settled in the non-existent town, the family bought many slaves and took care of the madmen in the family.

And someone like Elliott who stays awake has to leave the town for some extraordinary battles to provide income for the family so that it can function for a long time.

Sometimes warlords hire them to fight, and sometimes churches in the Southern Continent hire them to do dirty work.

As a "lawyer" who has good combat effectiveness after Sequence 8, they never have to worry about not being retained.

Only the work of the Rose School is not accepted, and of course the Rose School will not ask them for commissioning, because although the Balk family and the Rose School are not adjacent paths, they are mortal enemies who will fight for their lives after meeting.

Elliott looked at her sister: "I think I may have found a way to save the family, even if it is to sacrifice myself, I will try to break free from the curse of the family, you will be fine, everyone will be fine." ”

At this moment, someone in the distance shouted, "Elliott! It's time to go! ”

Elliott shook her sister's weedy and dirty hand, and left without looking back.

Moira smirked as she watched her brother's figure walk farther and farther away, two lines of tears unconsciously flowing from the corners of her eyes.

……

8:10 a.m., Gasbin Avenue in the East End of Beckland.

Dressed in a light trench coat and carrying a cane, Hobert looked at his pocket watch again, and Miss "Arbiter" was ten minutes late.

Another cab arrived, the door opened, and Hobert finally saw Hugh.

Hugh jumped out of the carriage: "Sorry, I'm late. ”

Hobert smiled, "No, it's just that I came early." ”

He saw Hugh staring at two dark circles under his eyes: "Didn't you rest well yesterday?" ”

Hugh looked around with some vigilance: "Yes, I can't sleep well every time I change the pillow." ”

No, as in the case of Foer's thoughts, seven or eight extraordinary beings got under their control as soon as they got out of the carriage.

Hobert naturally didn't think that Hugh and Furth changed accommodations overnight, and only took turns to rest in the middle of the night.

Hugh and Hobart walked some distance side by side, and Hobart turned abruptly to see the street behind him only workers walking briskly to work, and homeless people slumped in the corner.

Hobert looked natural, but whispered to Hugh with great certainty: "We are being targeted. ”

Hugh was slightly stunned, yes, someone was staring at them, but the person who was far behind was the one with worse dark circles under her eyes and worse skin, looking like Furth who hadn't slept for three days and three nights.
