Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 112 Mimic is despicable!

Hearing Forsi's words, Lawrence showed undisguised disappointment in his eyes, pinched his forehead and said:
"It's a pity, I can't understand why An Lisa didn't contact me in those years."

"She didn't mention your name, and she was vaguely dissatisfied with Mr. Laubero's relatives."

Fors answered frankly, without comfort or explanation.

Lawrence was silent for a moment and said:

"Thank you for your story, it made me understand something."

"By the way, where are Robolo and Anlisa buried?"

"Green Cemetery."

"That's it."

Lawrence's eyes dimmed, and he didn't know what he thought of.

Fors propped her chin with one hand, and stirred the coffee with a spoon in the other hand, a little bored.

Her gaze wandered out of the window, but suddenly caught a familiar figure.

Forsi's eyes moved slightly, and she saw the other person's face.Although there was only half of his profile, she instantly recognized the other person, it was Ember.

He was standing by the road looking down at a newspaper, frowning for some reason.

"Mr. Lawrence, I still have things to do, I should leave."

A look of joy flashed in Forsi's eyes, she put down her hand on her chin, and said to Lawrence while standing up.

On the main road, Ember was looking down at the newspaper, and a faint fragrance entered her nose.

At the same time, there was a girl's clear and gentle voice.

"When did you come back?"

Ember raised her head, and saw Fors standing in front of him charmingly, seeing Ember cast her gaze, she even blinked playfully on purpose.

"I only arrived at Pritz Harbor this morning, and I didn't return to Backlund until two o'clock in the afternoon."

Ember casually explained, "Are you familiar with that old gentleman?"

"Do not."

Fors shook her head, hesitated for a moment, then approached a little closer, and said in a low voice, "He claims to be Lawrence Nord, and he is an old acquaintance with Mrs. Anlisa's husband, Mr. Roberto. This time, he came here specially to find them. I suspect, however, that he and Mr. Lauborough are hidden members of some family."

"So coincidentally?"

Ember raised her eyebrows, showing a slightly surprised expression.

Does this count as a practical application of the Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation?

"skillful?"

Forsi's eyes were a little confused, as if she couldn't quite understand the meaning of Ember's words.

"They may be from the Abraham family."

Ember explained as simply as possible, "And they have all the potion formulas of the 'apprentice' path in their hands. If they want to continue to be promoted in the future, they will inevitably have a relationship with the Abraham family."

"Potion formula?"

Forsi's expression immediately became serious.

She didn't know about the Abraham family, but the importance of the potion formula was self-evident.

Although she had no ambitions, she never thought that she would become a demigod one day.

But these potion formulas are of great significance to Ember.

"Then wouldn't there be a demigod in this family?"

Forsi couldn't help lowering her voice and asked.

The ancient family that has been passed down to the Fourth Epoch has been at least one or two thousand years old.

Coupled with the fact that they have mastered the complete 'apprentice' pathway, it is not surprising that there are a few demigods.

"impossible."

Ember denied without hesitation, "The members of the Abraham family are the same as you. Because of the ravings, it is difficult to become a Extraordinary, let alone become a powerful Extraordinary."

"Babbling?"

Fors immediately thought of the curse on her body, and immediately understood why Ember said it was impossible.

If they would be cursed once they became Extraordinary, people in this family might not be able to last long.

Just like Forsi herself, she barely managed to hold on for more than a year before she almost lost control.

If it wasn't for the embers who helped her solve the curse twice, and then met Mister Fool, she could avoid the curse by praying to Mister Fool on the night of the full moon.

I'm afraid she has mutated into an ugly monster because of losing control!

Under the torture of babbling, they even lived is an extravagant hope.

Let alone becoming a high-sequence Extraordinary?

"That……"

Fore thought for a while, then hesitated, "Should I go back and have a good talk with him?"

Although you don't expect to gain the trust of the other party with a conversation of one or two sentences, at least there is no harm in doing so.

"No, this is rather suspicious, let it be."

Ember was a little moved, but still chose to refuse.

Inexplicable tricks will almost only make the other party suspicious, but it will be counterproductive.

And this Mr. Lawrence didn't look like he was holding power, he looked like an ordinary old man.There is no need to get close, just send someone to follow that Mr. Lawrence.

Follow him and you will always find other members of the Abraham family.

"It's nice to be young."

Lawrence looked at the boys and girls outside the window with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Somehow he thought of something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it soon turned bitter again.

Since the curse has spread uncontrollably in the blood of the family.

The Abraham family was forced to split into small families scattered all over the world.

As a result, the control over the family members of the Council of Elders has dropped to the lowest point. In order to avoid the influence of the curse, a large number of Abrahams are unwilling to be promoted, and they always remain in Sequence 8 or Sequence 9.

There are even some people who will never try to become Extraordinary because of the existence of the curse.I just want to spend my life peacefully and beautifully as an ordinary person with certain knowledge and wealth.

Finally, they found a way to bypass the curse——

Imitate the master-apprentice inheritance system of the Life School to train non-family members.It is hoped that after they are promoted to the high sequence, they can in turn help the Abrahams solve the curse that has existed for 600 years.

however.

When these people were still weak, they respected the Abrahams as teachers.

Soon, the strength of these 'apprentices' grew rapidly under the impersonation method and the accumulation of a large amount of resources.

At the same time, however, their mentality has changed.

The 'apprentices' who had become mid-sequence Extraordinary completely lost the last trace of awe in the face of the 'teacher' who was only a low-sequence Extraordinary and not even an Extraordinary.

They are like a group of unfamiliar wolf cubs. Instead of being grateful after they grow up, they eat back at the Abrahams at a very fast speed.

Obviously it was the Abraham family who gave them the potion to lead them into the world of Extraordinary, and even gave them all the acting skills and the family's various resources without reservation.

But they were still dissatisfied. They didn't have the slightest sense of gratitude for this. Instead, they only felt that their strength did not match the status they had obtained within the Abraham family.

They began to seek higher rights, and began to plan for the powerful sealed item of the Abraham family.

Faced with these powerful 'apprentices', the Abrahams chose to compromise.

But this still didn't satisfy the 'apprentices'.

In order to seize the property of the Abrahams, they even attracted the Aurora Society!
This was undoubtedly a catastrophe, a catastrophe that almost caused Abraham's extinction.

In this catastrophe, the upper strata of Abraham's family were nearly wiped out.

More than half of the few powerful sealed items were lost, leaving only three.

Lawrence's brother, Richard, and all his children died in the disaster—

Killed by the disciples trained and trusted by Abraham.

After that disaster, the Abraham family rebuilt the Presbyterian Church, and they reflected on their past behavior.

But because he couldn't find a solution to the problem, he almost fell into despair.

Family members become Extraordinary and will be tortured by ravings because of the curse.

Once out of control, it is even more likely to cause the death of a large number of family members.

It is almost impossible for them to become a mid-sequence Beyonder, let alone a high-sequence Beyonder at the demigod level.

As for the bad consequences of cultivating non-family members, they have already eaten it once, and they don't want to eat it again.

But if you do nothing.

They will only gradually disappear in the long river of history because of the declining family.

Lawrence didn't want to face this hopeless and oppressive atmosphere, so he chose to leave the family.

His body is too old, and his life is like a candle in the wind.

He was dying.

Maybe next month, maybe next week, maybe tomorrow, at some point he will die quietly.

He had wanted to meet his surviving family members before he died.

Backlund was his last stop.

But all he got was disappointment and despair, and he was the only one left alive in his father's branch.

He is nearly eighty years old, and his lineage will completely disappear after his death.

Just thinking about these things made him feel unstoppably sad.

What pained him the most was that he could not see the hope of revenge, nor the dawn of family glory.

Before he died, he wanted to do something.

For the family, but also for himself.

But what can he do?

Lawrence picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, but his eyes became more and more confused and helpless.

……

On the streets of Burningham Road, Ember and Fors walked side by side on the way home, frequently causing passers-by to turn their heads. ,

But they did not have any communication, but chose to remain silent.

Until they returned to the house at 117 Burningham Road.

Embers passed through the door, and the furnishings of the living room remained the same as before, without any change.

"Can't you use the key to open the door?"

Forsi had no choice but to go through the gate with him, complaining.

"No key."

Ember said calmly.

Fors rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

She flung herself directly on the soft sofa, hugged the soft pillow beautifully and made a comfortable sound.

"Ah~"

"Where is Hugh now?"

Ember asked.

"You don't know her yet?"

Forsi complained, "Xiu always stays in the Eastern District during the day, and sometimes even stays in the Eastern District at night. She could digest the 'Arbitrator' potion in this way before, and now she can also digest it in this way." way to digest the 'sheriff' potion."

"If this continues, I feel that she will be able to completely digest the 'sheriff' potion within a month."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Seeing Fors complaining, Ember asked back.

"What's the matter?"

Forsi muttered in a low voice, "So what if the potion is digested quickly? We are just ordinary people, what's the use of being so strong?"

"That's why you've been playing badly?"

Ember ignored Forsi's complaint and asked back.

"..."

Fors blushed, and argued, "Can this be called bad? It's just a clear self-awareness. I don't have much desire to become stronger. After all, no matter how strong I become, I can't become a demigod." .”

"Besides, it's not that easy to act as a 'master of tricks'. I tried the method you said and wrote a novel with a 'master of tricks' as the main character. Although the sales volume is not too bad, the magic potion digested it. The progress is not moving at all."

"This method is not reliable at all, and it is not useful at all."

"And the other way is to go to the circus to do tricks to digest the potion, but no matter what, you can't expect me to go to the street, right?"

After all, she is also a former clinic doctor and now a best-selling novelist, with an annual income of nearly a thousand pounds!

Although not as good as those great nobles, they are already considered the top group of people in the middle class.

Even if it is to digest the potion, it is impossible for her to perform a show!

It's impossible!

"Do you really think so?"

After hearing Forsi's words, Ember shook her head and sighed softly.

"That's not it."

Forsi asked back.

"You're afraid you won't have any money."

Ember said lightly.

"I……"

Forsi's eyes dodged a little, but Ember didn't give her a chance to argue.

"Yes or no?"

Forsi opened her mouth, and in the next second, she seemed to be completely discouraged. She got up from the sofa and sat up straight, before she gave up on herself and said,

"What can I do! A Sequence 7 costs at least 2000 pounds, how can I get so much money!"

Hugh's potion was digested very quickly.

But no matter how quickly she digested the potion, wouldn't it be useless if she didn't have money?
Potion digestion is one thing, but promotion is another.

After all, they are just wild Beyonders, unlike the official Beyonders in the system, who can get high salaries and free potions as long as they accumulate enough contributions.

As a wild Extraordinary, you have to buy the potion formula by yourself, and you have to buy the Beyonder materials to configure the potion yourself.

For example, the potion formula of Sequence 8 costs 400 pounds, and the premium can even reach 450 pounds.

But if you add the cost of purchasing the main materials, it will cost at least 1000 pounds to complete the promotion!
And the potion formula of Sequence 7 will only be more expensive, at least 800 pounds.

And the price of the main material of Sequence 7 needed to configure the potion is usually 600-700 pounds.

Even if calculated on the basis of 600 pounds, a total of at least 2000 pounds is required!
As long as there is a little premium, it will completely exceed their ability to save money!

Forsi is still rich.

As a well-known best-selling novelist, her savings were originally in the early four figures.

And Xio was even worse, even though she had a very good reputation in the East District.

But her deposit was less than five hundred pounds.

Even the Extraordinary characteristics of the sheriff were paid for by Fors in advance.

And it was precisely because of the successive purchases of the 'Master of Magic' and 'Sheriff' potion formulas, as well as the corresponding potions, that their deposits were almost exhausted.

Although he made a lot of money during this period, the total amount was less than five hundred pounds.

This amount of money can't even afford a potion formula.

To support one of them to be promoted, the only way is to sell this house——

Houses in Hillston are still very expensive, at least £2500.

With a deposit of 500 pounds, 3000 pounds can firmly support one of them to complete the promotion.

But there is only one person.

If Fors is promoted, then Xio can only watch.

But as Forsi said.

She doesn't have much obsession with becoming stronger.

Hugh is different.

She must find out the truth about her father's 'treason' as soon as possible, and clear her father's grievances.

And this will inevitably require strong strength as a guarantee.

Forsi would have been promoted to Sequence 8 faster than Xio, if she also strictly followed the rules of acting.

She would only finish digesting the potion faster than Hugh.

In that way, she will have the opportunity to be promoted before Xio.

But it also blocked Xio's chances of promotion in a disguised form.

So she would rather choose to be bad, to create conditions for Xio to complete the digestion of the potion faster.

And it's not easy to arouse Xio's suspicion——

Anyway, she has such a character in the first place, even if she keeps being salty, she can only sigh helplessly, and there is no doubt that she did it on purpose.

after all.

"Hugh's mind is really not very good."

Fors said seriously.

"boom!"

"Forsi!"

The door of the room on the second floor was suddenly opened, and a petite figure appeared in the corridor on the second floor, accompanied by the girl's angry reprimand.

She was quite moved.

But when Forsi said that her mind was not working well, she couldn't help it anymore!
"Ehhh?!"

Forsi was suddenly dumbfounded, and looked at the embers in disbelief.

The other party looked calm and didn't even raise his head. Obviously, he knew that Xio was at home from the beginning.

Right.

With his strength, how could he not even know that there is someone hiding in his house?

No wonder he would go straight through the door instead of opening the door honestly.

Because if that was the case, Xio who heard the movement would definitely come out to greet him.

"You count me!"

Forsi looked sad, she never thought that Ember would plot against her!
Still at her house!

"How can this be called a calculation?"

Facing Forsi's questioning, Ember said calmly, "Besides caring about this, you should think about how to explain it to Xio..."

"boom!"

Before the words finished, Xio jumped directly from upstairs and threw Fors onto the sofa.

"Yes... I'm sorry! No, don't, don't do that kind of thing!"

"Hugh, don't, there can't be ... ah ah ~ ..."

Forsi, who had no strength to laugh after being scratched by Xio's hands, quickly disarmed and surrendered, her body twitched uncontrollably for the same reason, her eyes were dull and she stuck out her tongue, showing an expression like a black face.

"Do you dare to hide it from me next time?!"

Xio waited for a while to let Forsi recover, but she still refused to let her go, and pulled Forsi's cheeks on both sides with great strength.

"Wo... no... dare..."

Fors struggled and slapped Xio's hand, wanting to cry without tears.

Obviously she did it out of kindness!
Why does it seem like she has done something heinous now?
"Really, obviously I came back early to celebrate your birthday."

Xio pulled Forsi's cheek angrily, but in the end she let her go because of her heartache.

Although she does have the desire to become stronger, is she the kind of person who will do anything to get promoted, even at the expense of all her friends' savings?

If this is the case, then she would rather stay in Sequence 8 for the rest of her life!

What's more, what about Sequence 8?
Couldn't Sequence 8 be able to investigate the truth of the year?

"Birthday?"

Forsi was stunned for a while, then murmured in a low voice.

Yes, today seems to be her birthday indeed.

But it has been so long since her last birthday, she almost forgot about it.

Forsi pursed her lips, not letting her emotions be exposed.
