"Ma'am."

"Remember your promises."

On the pea vine, Bernadette sits.

Sharon bowed her head: "I will keep my promise and strike when you need it, if I had known that he was your subordinate, I would not have followed him." ”

"It doesn't matter if nothing happens, and it's ......"

Bernadette's beautiful eyes looked at her, as if she wanted to see the trajectory of fate through her, but unfortunately, like a flower in the fog and a moon in the water, she couldn't see it really.

She said lightly: "Your friend should hurry up and get promoted, I will help you drag him down recently, I don't have time to do it if it's too late." ”

"Yes."

Sharon bowed.

"Hmm."

The sound fell, and the pea vine disappeared and rose, and finally the traces of magic disappeared without a trace.

Sharon exhaled softly.

At this point, the door opens.

She emerged from the shadow and looked at Klein faintly: "Let's go?" ”

"Waiting for me?"

Klein was somewhat surprised.

Sharon said lightly, "No, it's just right. ”

"Anyway, thank you, let's go, I can't get in the car at night, I may have to walk for a while."

Crane put on his hat and said bitterly.

Sharon didn't speak, but disappeared directly into the shadow.

Under the dim streetlights, Crane walked alone.

……

The next day, the Mystery Club came to work as scheduled.

"Mr. Rollin, you're finally here."

"Miss Ollie, it seems that you miss me very much, why, do you have a good commission or a guest?"

Roy looked at Ollie Clay in the foreground.

Then.

He swished out the cup tucked up in his sleeve and said, "Coffee I bought when I passed by." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Rollin, but your guests have been waiting for a long time."

Ollie took the coffee and smiled sweetly and pointed to the amethyst room.

"Last week's guest?"

"Yes."

Ollie nodded slightly.

Roy bowed slightly, then walked inside.

The purpose of his trip is to test it, but the question is whether it is on Sherman or Klein-

At first he suspected that it was the would-be witch.

But.

Azik and Dunn also encountered crises one after another, and Roy locked his suspicious eyes on Crane.

If it's the former, then ......

It shows that the probability of being watched is very high now, so that just Sherman has received attention from above, and he has to hurry up.

Anything, including Lanrius, is not a matter of consideration.

But if it's the latter.

So.

As long as Roy doesn't have direct contact with Klein and doesn't provide offline help, it's theoretically safer.

When he opened the door and entered, Sherman sat in his seat and looked forward to it, and when he saw Roy enter the door, he immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Mr. Rollin." ”

"Sit."

Roy smiled and sat down.

Then, he looked up at the other man, observing Sherman's etheric body, mind body, and astral body—

The other party's etheric body is relatively unhealthy, but the mental aspect is healthy, and it looks very contradictory.

"Determined?"

"Yes sir."

Sherman sat quietly in his chair with a happy smile on his face, "I think that even if I didn't end up well, at least I was on this path." ”

Roy sighed and pressed down his hat.

"Now that you've made your choice and come to me for what to do, aren't you worried about her putting a curse on you?"

"Although your explanation made me depressed and confused for a while, in the end I thought more clearly, and I think I should thank you in person."

Sherman smiled.

Roy sighed lightly and said, "With your character, you are not suitable to be a witch, because you are not ruthless enough, your play will not be very thorough, and the ending will only be crazy." ”

“……”

Sherman was silent, then said, "As long as I can achieve my goal, I can do anything." ”

"Tell me what you mean."

Roy looked up.

Sherman said, "Sir, do you have a channel or recipe for a potion?" I can buy it from you, or I'll try to raise money......"

"Three or four thousand gold pounds, do you have one?"

Roy said solemnly.

Sherman wasn't a rich man, otherwise he wouldn't be in the East End, and he wouldn't have been friends with Hugh.

He didn't have much money.

Sherman hesitated for a moment, then fell silent.

Three or four thousand gold pounds.

He simply didn't have that much money, and he didn't have the ability to repay it.

"In addition, after becoming an Assassin, you have to assassinate others, which is the only way to go, and in Sequence 8, you have to instigate others to fight and cause chaos."

Roy said lightly, "Can you afford this?" ”

"I see."

Sherman bowed, then hesitated to take a pound or a pound.

Roy smiled lightly: "1 pound is enough, what you should do is to think about how you should go in the future." ”

"Thank you, sir."

The other party left.

Roy actually had an idea -

Raise Sherman.

As a soothsayer, Tilly's combat ability in the early stage is very average, if she really wants to build her own intelligence network from scratch......

There is still a lack of a strong combat assistant.

Sherman is good.

His personality and other aspects are more to Roy's taste, and he is more suitable for digesting the extraordinary characteristics of the assassin at hand.

The more difficult thing is to obtain the materials for Sequence 8 and Sequence 7, but these two are not impossible to obtain.

At the moment, Roy only had one Sequence 9 Assassin trait at hand, and his idea was-

Let Sherman take a more positive way of playing.

Of course.

This kind of acting is limited to Sequence 9 to Sequence 7, and when it comes to pleasure, all kinds of madness can no longer be solved by the direction of playing.

If Sherman could think about it, instead of wanting to go this path as soon as his head was hot, he would give the other person a chance.

"Hey, I'm still too weak, otherwise I wouldn't have trained my subordinates with my own hands, just come over with a boat."

For example, Lieutenant General Tracy of the disease.

After Ziringus's death, she directly seized Ziringus's fleet and became a pirate lieutenant general, without any need to cultivate her own power.

What a envy!

Roy sighed.

After sitting in the club for a while, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Roy sat upright.

Then, he saw Gary Zabia.

Gary has blonde hair, and the Zabiya family is not a big nobleman, but they have fiefs and industries, and they are the type to not worry about food and clothing, and they are usually more generous.

Maybe that's exactly what happened, so the idle egg hurt to fall in love with the occult.

Roy sat in his chair and smiled lightly, "Mr. Gary, is there something wrong?" ”

Gary hesitated for a moment, then sat down and said, "Rollin, I heard you're a fighting wizard?" ”

"Yes, that's my title."

Roy chuckled.

Gary smiled bitterly: "I don't know if you can help me, but I think if there is anyone in the whole club who is the most mysterious and most likely the real mystery, I think it must be you." ”

"Tell me about your problem, friend, if you can help me, I'll definitely help you."

Roy sat upright, his expression much more serious.

There is a live!

Gary sorted his thoughts, and after a few seconds, he spoke: "That's right, something happened to my family, I have a younger sister who was a little abnormal since she was a child, and initially suspected some kind of innate mental illness......"

He began to ramble on about the past.

Roy didn't interrupt.

Many abnormalities can often be found from the past.

He listened carefully, and then, his expression grew serious.

"Wait a minute."

"Huh?"

"You mean, that sister of yours has shown a thirst for reading and knowledge since she was a child?"

Roy asked.

Gary nodded slightly: "Yes, she likes to read very much, and through reading, her state has improved, and she has slowly come out of her autism at the beginning." ”

"Go on."

Roy bowed slightly.

Gary continued: "When she grows up, she acts like she does the same, but she still comes across as autistic, socially unsociable, like she never goes to a prom. ”

"But recently things have changed, and she seems to have become normal, and she seems to have become more abnormal."

He hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a piece of paper, "Do you recognize this thing?" I don't know exactly what it is, but it should be some kind of ritual-related thing. ”

As a lover of the occult, he knew about divination, rituals, and magic, but he wasn't very aware of it.

After all.

As an ordinary person, Gary is often exposed to things that are relatively ordinary, filtered, and restricted.

Roy took it.

After one glance, he inhaled slightly, then put the paper down.

"It is a ritual of prayer, and its object of prayer is the hidden sage, an out-and-out evil god."

Roy's expression was serious, "Gary, who has your sister been in contact with lately?" There should be one more person in her social circle. ”

Gary's pupils shrank, and his lips trembled.

Roy knows.

Gary must have remembered something, otherwise he wouldn't have had such an expression, and the change in the mood color of the astral spirit also confirmed this.

He looked up.

"Nobody, if we really want to talk about contact, we took her to her mother's grave."

“……”

Hidden Sage?

Or Morse Asceticism?

Roy clasped his fingers lightly, and then said softly, "Is it convenient to take me to see it?" ”

"Do you mean my sister or?"

"Grave."

Roy said, "Only by finding the source can we truly understand what happened, as for your sister, she should be okay for the time being, right?" ”

"Yes, although my father is going to send her to the Storm Church for the people of the Storm Church to see, he hasn't sent her yet."

Gary was silent for a few seconds, then said, "He's a more devout Storm Churcher, and he's always disliked her. ”

He smiled and said, "The people in the church are definitely more professional than me, and Viscount Zabia's choice is not wrong." ”

"But...... Aside from those, uh, how much do I have to pay? ”

Garry froze, but pulled out her wallet.

Roy shook his head: "I'm interested in this matter, if I can solve your sister's problem, let's talk about the payment." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Rollin, for your generosity, you are a benevolent wizard, and to be honest I have been strapped lately."

Gary said ashamedly.

Roy had already seen it.

In the past, Gary would pay directly after entering the door, or give a sum of money directly, instead of asking how much.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Occasionally, you still need to own your own industry." ”

"Yes, I used to be proud of being an aristocracy and was obsessed with studying the occult, but in the end, the occult couldn't help me."

Gary sighed.

Roy said, "No, my friend, if you don't know the occult, how can we possibly meet?" Mystery makes us meet and become friends, let's go, take me to see the cemetery. ”

……

West End, Green Cemetery.

Gary took Roy down a path to the cemetery.

Roy looked around the trail.

This trail used to be Green Park Street, and along the street you walked all the way to Green Park, hence the name of the cemetery.

He smiled and said, "How do you know about this cemetery path?" ”

"By chance, I met a comparative, uh, should say crazy man, who worships death and dances a terrible dance."

"They said it was the real occult, but I couldn't believe it, and I didn't dare to touch or learn it, but I remembered this path."

Gary explained one after another.

Dance?

It should be the man who likes to dance.

Roy vaguely remembered this person, and slowly walked up the trail from the mountain, climbed the last hurdle, and finally arrived at the place.

They tumbled in from the corner.

After landing on the ground, Gary carefully walked to a corner, and after a certain salute, he turned back: "Mr. Rollin, this is it." ”

"Hmm."

Roy's eyes scanned the surroundings, but he didn't see anything particularly conspicuous.

He took out the pendant and first tested his safety in various directions, and only after making sure that it was safe did he enter the dream state.

Then, a fog came to mind.

In the mist, a blonde woman, accompanied by her family, stands in front of the grave to mourn, but when she turns around, she sees a symbol.

It was the symbol of the Hidden Sage.

Someone wrote it on a tombstone on the side, and it was at that moment that the woman's expression appeared with a deep sense of surprise and surprise.

Perhaps—

At that moment, she heard something.

Roy was thoughtful.

Will it be Morse Asceticism?

Quite possibly.

Is Gary's sister half voyeur?

Roy recovers from his dream.

Gary was on the side, nervous and excited, and his voice was trembling: "Mr. Rollin, were you using dream divination just now?" ”

"Do you know anything about dream divination?"

Roy wanted to laugh a little.

After all, Gary was still in front of him before, and his various knowledge of "divination" was very different from his current expression.

Gary blushed a little.

"Yes, I have read this kind of divination in a book, and it is said that it is very magical to be able to enter a dream and see what happened in the past."

"It's essentially a spiritual guide."

Roy replied.

He looked sideways at the stone tablet next to him, spiritual indoctrination, allowing the effect of the Voyeur Eye to be amplified, and then-

He saw a trace.

It's been a long time.

Most of the spirituality has dissipated, and only wisps of engraved traces remain, and there is still some extremely weak spiritual power hidden in it.

Roy pressed his hand on the tombstone, closed his eyes and re-entered the dream divination.

However.

Nothing.

He frowned and followed Gary.

"Gary, you help me let the wind go."

"You, what are you going to do?"

Gary swallowed, "That's the grave of one of my cousins, you, you can't dig him, my dad will kill me!" ”

"It's not digging graves, there's a little bit of spirituality here, maybe some secrets can be learned through divination, but I need a quiet and safe environment."

Roy explained.

Gary said, "I'll help you watch over there, and if a security guard comes, I'll help you get out of the way." ”

"Okay."

Roy nodded with a smile.

He laid out the ritual, prayed to himself through a simple ritual, and ascended to the temple of mystery to answer him.

And then.

In the mysterious hall, he has a close connection with his real self, and sees the tombstone through his real self.

The imprint on the top is clearer.

Keep up the divination!

Dreams emerge.

This time he saw an old man in a white robe, who had carved the familiar symbol of the Hidden Sage on the tombstone with a pen.

In addition, there is a familiar ritual around.

Spiritual Enhancement Rituals.

I see.

Roy returned to reality, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Gary, come back."

"It's over?"

Gary was dazed, and when he turned around, he saw Roy sorting things out, as if he had just completed a mysterious ritual.

Mr. Rollin has mastered the true magical rituals.

However.

Even so, he was willing to listen to his own explanation of divination and pay for it......

What a generous and kind Mr. Wizard!

He secretly exclaimed.

Roy inexplicably felt the slightest trace of digestion, and he glanced at Gary, thinking about a possible code.

"Mr. Rollin?"

"Oh, I did dream divination again just now, because the other party also has the ability to divinate and magic, so it took a bit of trouble."

Roy explained with a smile.

Then, he walked to a grave and said, "Gary, you recall." On that day, was there a small white flower here? ”

Gary pondered for a long time, then scratched his head: "To be honest, I can't remember exactly, and I usually don't deliberately look at things in front of other people's graves, which is not very polite." ”

Roy took out his small notebook and pen, brushed it and began to sketch.

After about a minute, the image of a flower popped onto the page.

It is an elf flower.

Can be used as a material for spiritual strengthening ceremonies.

"This flower."

"Hey, I seem to have a little impression when you draw it, not only here, but I remember that there is also a ...... in front of another tomb."

Gary tapped his head, wondering where it was.

Roy said with a smile: "On the edge of your cousin's cemetery." ”

"Yes, yes, how do you know?"

Gary was surprised, "Can you even see this in dream divination?" It's amazing, Mr. Rollin, that the rest of the club is a bunch of curly-haired baboons compared to you! ”

"Hehe, I just know a little bit more."

Roy smiled, and then walked outside, "I've finished reading it here, in order to avoid being discovered by the security guards here, let's go out first, and then talk as we go." ”

"Okay."

Gary immediately followed.

He hurried over to Roy's side to help him climb over the cemetery wall, and then saw Roy jump up the wall with ease.

"Come on, did you forget? My title is martial arts wizard, so what I'm best at is actually martial arts. ”

Roy laughed.

Gary struggled over the wall—

When he came in, there were high slopes and boulders outside, but there were none, unless he was willing to step on someone else's tombstone.

But that's rude.

After coming out, Roy explained: "I just saw a ritual, and the effect of that ritual is to increase mental strength, for example, do you feel that you have been in better spirits in the past month?" ”

"Seems to be? It's hard to articulate the experience, and I thought it was my occult knowledge that worked! ”

Gary muttered to himself, feeling his face burning hot,

At this moment, if Gary takes the "clown", he must directly digest a large part.

Roy thought to himself.

With Gary's appearance, his previous mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Gary, is it easy for your sister to meet over there? I mean, without going through your father. ”

"It's not convenient, but I'll try my best."

Chapter 2 is later
