Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 114 The Fool: Send!
"You and I……"

Audrey opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, but couldn't help but said, "How did you do it?"

"No one was watching, so I just took it out."

With an extremely indifferent expression, Ember casually said.

"What do you mean no one is watching!"

Audrey's eyes widened, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Ember had obviously been with her all the time, and had never left at all.

The manuscript was placed in an exhibition hall arranged as a study, and security personnel were watching from beginning to end.

Audrey also considered the difficulty of taking away the bookmark, but came to the conclusion that they had no chance at all!

Especially the security guard named Max, Audrey can be sure that he must be an Extraordinary, and he is by no means an ordinary Extraordinary, at least he is also a mid-sequence one.

Obviously, before they left the exhibition hall, Max checked it carefully before closing the glass cover.

And after they left the exhibition hall, Ember stayed in her sight all the time, and never left from the beginning to the end.

How on earth did he do it?
When did you take the bookmark away?
Could this be related to the extraordinary ability of the apprenticeship path?

But even so.

It's probably too outrageous!
She was obviously there all the time, but she didn't notice anything from the beginning to the end.

Audrey couldn't help being a little discouraged, but suddenly thought of another serious problem.

"wrong."

Audrey couldn't help asking, "Why did you take the bookmark away?!"

"Ok?"

Ember looked at the girl in surprise, "Didn't you tell me to do it?"

"When do I..."

Audrey was full of question marks, but suddenly remembered that she had winked at Ember in the exhibition hall by pretending to be sullen.

So, shouldn't it be that time?

Audrey didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly, "But I just want to tell you that I have already confirmed the bookmark, what should I do now?"

"Then I'll go back?"

Ember shrugged and said casually.

"..."

Audrey was a little speechless, how could she return it after taking it all!
Go back and let Mister Fool's family steal it again?

Obviously Mister Fool just wanted her to confirm the status of the bookmark, but now Ember is in place in one step.

And never aroused anyone's suspicion from the beginning to the end.

Huh?
Audrey blinked, as if, this is not a bad thing, right?

Although Mister Fool didn't ask them to bring out the bookmarks.

But since he has taken all the money, this can be regarded as overfulfilling the task of Mister Fool, right?
"Then, pray to Mister Fool now?"

Audrey looked at Ember subconsciously, and said with some hesitation, "That bookmark..."

"I do not mind."

Ember understood, and put the bookmark on the table casually.

But before that, he took another look.

The bookmark bears Russell's portrait, which is not a remarkable feature.

After all, Searle's portraits can be seen everywhere in the memorial exhibition, as is the image of the emperor and his still middle-aged state.

But what Ember looks at is not the bookmark itself, but its inner details.

[Bookmark for Roselle's creative manuscript]

[The bookmark that Emperor Roselle put in the creative manuscript,

Can be used as a bookmark.

There seems to be some kind of deep secret hidden in the bookmark,

If found during travel,

It must be of great help. 】

At the same time, Audrey sat in front of the dressing table, chanting the honorable name of 'The Fool' in a low voice:

"...I have damaged that bookmark a little according to your family's request."

"It, it has abnormal reactions."

Have an abnormal reaction?It seems that it is really a "card of blasphemy"!
After getting the reply, Klein, who entered above the gray mist, was overjoyed at first, and then he was inexplicably amazed:

"Miss Justice is too efficient, isn't she?"

"I only entrusted the task in the afternoon, and she completed the verification this evening..."

"Also, this is clearly past the closing time of the Kingdom Museum!"

"Mind readers certainly don't have extraordinary abilities to sneak in!"

"Hiss, her family's power may be greater than I imagined!"

"It's a good thing to verify that there is no strange phenomenon, otherwise Miss Justice can only pretend to be innocent and hand in the cards.
And this shows that I have nothing to do with treasures... nothing is [-]% sure..."

"But since it has been determined that it is a card of blasphemy, I'd better start taking action tonight."

"As long as you can get the card of blasphemy, you are a victory!"

While his thoughts were flashing, Klein heard Miss Justice's follow-up voice again:

"Mr. Fool, Mr. Lover also helped me carry out this operation. He returned to Backlund at two o'clock this afternoon, and he happened to be visiting at my house when your family sent the entrustment."

Klein's right eye twitched, suddenly feeling ominous.

"After my verification, Mr. 'Lover' successfully stole that bookmark."

"..."

Klein opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He just went to visit the Roselle Memorial Exhibition this morning, and was just going to let Miss 'Justice' try it out in the afternoon.

As a result, Ember just returned to Backlund and assisted Miss Justice in stealing the bookmark.

How about such a coincidence!
the most important is.

This book has been signed in Ember's hands, does he still have to come back?
Clayton felt a headache.

Before he could act, the target of his action had already been stolen by others. How could he deal with this?
You can't force Ember to hand in the bookmark, right?
"..."

Klein's expression twitched, he really wanted to do this.

He was afraid that Ember would draw out the big sword and slap himself in the face next time in the Tarot meeting.

After all, in the eyes of the other party, I am afraid that I am just a good firewood.

But fortunately, there is still the black emperor, the wronged head, in front of him, and it is not his turn for the time being.

Otherwise, if Ember really attacks him, then he can only reluctantly drive Ember out of the Tarot Society.

Ok.

He had to run away from Backlund overnight, otherwise 'Klein', who was a member of the 'Fool', would also be in danger.

Just as he was thinking, Klein heard Miss Justice's voice again:

"Do you need me to sacrifice the bookmark to you now?"

"Snapped!"

Klein resisted the feeling of patting the table and standing up, feeling extremely moved in his heart.

Miss Justice is a good person!

"it is good."

Klein adjusted his emotions and said in a calm tone.

The other half, Audrey received the Fool's affirmative answer, and didn't hesitate any longer.

Blinking at Ember, and getting a nod of acquiescence from the other party, he picked up the bookmark and began to sacrifice.

Soon.

An illusory door opens.

And Audrey is already familiar with this, and directly put the bookmark into it.

"Snapped!"

Klein put the bookmark on the table, feeling happy but at the same time feeling as if something was missing.

For example.

He originally wanted to let Miss Justice confirm the authenticity, and then go out in person to steal the bookmark back at night.

But now, this process is omitted, and the bookmark is directly given to herself by Miss Justice.

"This is a good thing, and it may be dangerous to go out in person."

Klein shook his head, putting his slightly complicated emotions behind him.

He had divination before, and his actions at night would be a little dangerous.

Although the danger of divination is not too great, it is better not to take risks if possible.

Well, yes, this is a good thing!

"very good."

Klein nodded in satisfaction, the Tarot Society has initially demonstrated its value to The Fool.

Mister Fool is very satisfied with this.

OK, it's getting better and better.

Klein thought about it, and picked up the bookmark again.

He gently rubbed the surface of the hard paper, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

From the outside, this bookmark is unremarkable.

But he knows that this bookmark has been quietly waiting for his "destined person".

Klein thought for a while, and pronounced in a low voice in Feysac:

"One Piece!"

"Pirate King."

"One piece!"

"Tsk."

Klein clicked his tongue. Except for the languages ​​in the mysterious fields such as Giant, Elven, and Dragon, which are too small, he tried almost all commonly used lingua francas, Feysac, Ancient Feysac, Loen, Intis...

But the bookmark doesn't do anything from start to finish.

But think about it.

Roselle, who just crossed over when he was young and was full of passion, might use One Piece's stalk.

But making the card of blasphemy should be at the end of his life, judging from his diary.

At that time, his spirit was undoubtedly crazy and desperate, but he also clearly showed bad taste.

This can be seen from his diary style——

Even when talking about those serious things, he did not forget to show off Cao Bi's great achievements.

Then.

What is the way to activate the card of blasphemy?

It is unlikely to be a meme from the previous life, because this card of blasphemy is prepared for people in this world.

Therefore, the word that opens the card of blasphemy must not be too 'niche'.

It should be known to anyone who has a little knowledge of Emperor Roselle.

In other words, there is a high probability that this word will also be related to Emperor Roselle's own experience.

Klein thought about it, and first tried some words of curse and hope in other languages ​​and ancient Fusac.

Unsurprisingly, it failed.

Immediately afterwards, he wondered what would be the most reluctance and nostalgia for a strong man on the verge of extinction.

Suddenly, he thought of Russell's diary, and thought of Zaratul's prophecy:

"I finally asked about Bernadette's future, and he suddenly became very serious. He said that she will hate me, loathe me, and betray me. She will become a big figure in the mysterious world."

"Sometimes, you really shouldn't ask about the results of divination. It's hard for me to believe that my lovely, kind-hearted Bernadette, who loves my younger brother, adores my father, and loves my mother, would hate me, loathe me, and betray me. What is the reason, I did something too much? Maybe she has a love object that I am not satisfied with, and I killed that brat."

"Bernadette." Klein was silent for a long time, and read in Intis.

Bookmarks are unresponsive.

Even though he switched to Loen language, plateau language, and Feysac language, he still failed to get the desired result.

In the end, he had only one choice left——

The ancient Fusac language known as the source of writing in the countries of the Northern Continent.

Klein sighed, and in a low voice, he uttered the corresponding ancient Fusac syllable:

"Bernadette."

The name reverberated above the empty and silent gray fog without anything special. Klein was about to find new inspiration when he suddenly felt the bookmark in his hand sink!
It immediately formed an invisible vortex, frantically absorbing Klein's spirit.

On the bookmark, a clear light rose little by little, and the image of Emperor Roselle outside took on a new look.

He sat on an ancient stone throne, wearing a black crown inlaid with various precious stones on his head, wearing black armor, covered with a cloak of the same color, holding a scepter in his hand, and looking forward indifferently.

In the upper left corner of the bookmark, a line of text was condensed by the bright stars:
"Sequence 0: Black Emperor!"

Klein's expression of surprise, which was originally smiling, froze suddenly, and his right eyelid twitched.

……

Inside Hall's villa.

Audrey sat in front of the dresser, propped her elbows on the table, rested her chin with her palm, and muttered softly,

"I really want to ask Mister Fool what's the secret of that bookmark."

Ember asked in surprise, "Then why didn't you ask just now?"

"That's so rude."

Audrey whispered.

The bookmark is in her hand, if she took this opportunity to ask questions, wouldn't it be like taking credit for herself?

That's Mister Fool!

If Mister Fool left a bad impression, wouldn't it be embarrassing even if Mister Fool didn't care about it?
"Ember, aren't you curious at all?"

Audrey looked at Ember with some doubts.

"I've always been very curious."

Ember slowly said, "But 'The Fool' once said that he pursues fair trade. As long as I can pay enough, the next Tarot Society will get an answer from him sooner or later."

Audrey's green eyes were confused at first, and then lit up.

That's right, she can get the answer in an equivalent exchange, can't she?
All along, she has contributed a lot of Roselle's diaries to Mister Fool.

Although I don't know how much the specific value can be, but it is no problem to exchange for an answer, right?

And if her contribution isn't enough to get an answer, neither will anyone else.

After all, the contribution of the entire Tarot Society in this area has not surpassed her.

Not even Mr. Hanged Man!

"Hmm~"

The corners of Audrey's mouth curled up a little, she stood up, and walked to the full-length mirror.

Her chin had an unusually beautiful arc due to the slight lift.

Looking at the slightly proud blue-eyed girl in the mirror, Audrey slowly calmed down.

"No, Audrey! You have to remember that you are a spectator, so you can't do this next time!"

Audrey patted her face to calm herself down again.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the corridor again, it was her personal maid.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, Master Hibbert is back. Madam Caitlin asked me to inform you and Viscount Black to go downstairs for dinner."

"Ok."

Audrey responded, "I'll go down right away."

……

"Dark Emperor."

Above the gray mist, Klein put the card of blasphemy on the table, and rubbed his temples with his hand as if he was having a headache.

The card of blasphemy contains a complete path, which records all the potion formulas and corresponding rituals needed for the path of the Black Emperor from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0, and even its corresponding abilities.

But Klein wasn't too surprised by this result.

Whether Sequence 0 is the sequence where the true god is, or the card of blasphemy contains the mystery of becoming a god, these are recorded in the diary of Emperor Roselle, and Klein has already read it.

But he did not expect that this would be a 'Dark Emperor' card!

Is this a coincidence?
Or necessarily?

The starting point of Sequence 0 'Dark Emperor' is the 'Lawyer' of Sequence 9, which is not surprising.

Because the Hanged Man once said his guess in the Tarot Society.

However, at most he guessed that the 'Dark Emperor' was Sequence 1, but he didn't dare to guess that this was the sequence where the 'True God' was.

The 22 cards of blasphemy correspond to the 22 paths of this world.

This made Klein look forward to it, but also disappointed.

The anticipation is because he only needs to find the card of blasphemy that represents the path of 'Seer', and he doesn't have to worry about the road to promotion in the future.

The disappointment was because the card 'Dark Emperor' was of no use to him!
There are '8' members in the whole Tarot Club, including 'Seer', 'Apprentice', 'Prayer', 'Sailor', 'Audience' and 'Arbitrator', but there is no 'Lawyer'!
"No, you can't say that either."

Klein comforted himself, "At least there are potion formulas, right? These potion formulas can also be exchanged for other extraordinary items, and some of the knowledge about gods and sequences contained in them can also be used."

"Well, next time Ember asks about the Black Emperor, I won't be left speechless."

"After the next Tarot meeting, you can use these information to exchange with Ember."

"but……"

Klein had a weird expression on his face. Ember helped him get this bookmark.

Now he is using the value of this bookmark to make a deal with Ember, isn't it a bit unkind?
"No, you can't say that, after all, I opened the card of blasphemy."

"Ember doesn't know the 'spell' that was activated. To him, it's just an ordinary bookmark, and it's just temporarily 'stored' with him."

"What I solved, of course belongs to me."

"He stored those extraordinary creatures with me, didn't I also confiscate his storage fee?"

"The big deal is not to charge him at that time, just share the information with him for free."

Klein touched his chin and nodded calmly.

Well, that makes perfect sense.

As expected of me.

However, it is possible to inform Miss Justice of this information in advance.

After all, she took the risk to test the card of blasphemy.

……

Queens, Earl Hall's house, inside the dining room.

As usual, Audrey was praying before the meal with her father, mother, brother, and Ember as a guest.

"Praise the goddess!" She tapped her chest clockwise four times, ending with this sentence.

As soon as the words fell, a dense gray fog filled the vision covered by her eyelids. In the gray fog, she saw a praying figure, a figure that was extremely blurred.

He is saying respectfully:
"Great Fool, please convey my gratitude to the verifier of this card of blasphemy. For this reason, I am willing to increase the reward to 3000 pounds, deducted from the 4000 pounds that have not been paid, this is the share that the other party should get."

"3000 pounds..."

Above the gray mist, Klein's eyelids twitched slightly, and his heart was bleeding.

That's a full 3000 pounds, and this time he really paid for it!
"The card of blasphemy?!"

The blue-eyed girl, Li, cheered in her heart with sparkling eyes, but she also clearly realized that now was not the time to show a surprised expression.

Audrey controlled her excitement, yearning and proudly allowing the dining maid to help her spread the napkin.

But when Ember looked over, he blinked at him again.

Wanted to hint to him that he had a hint from the Fool.

"Mr. Black."

The young man who was sitting on the same side as Ember also noticed her sister's small movements, her expression became slightly unkind, and she asked without a trace, "What do you do for work?"

Ember looked up at the young man, and knew that he was Audrey's eldest brother, the earl's eldest son, Hibbert Hall.

Earl Hall's family had three children.

The eldest son Hibbert Hall, the second son Alfred Hall, and the youngest daughter Audrey Hall.

In the nobility, no matter how many children there are, only one child can inherit the title.

And the child who can inherit the title is usually the eldest son.

For example, Earl Hall's heir has been determined to be Hibbert Hall.

For this reason, Audrey's second brother Alfred found another way out early and entered the army.At present, he should be serving in the colony of the Southern Continent, and it is said that he has made a lot of achievements.

Even if he cannot inherit the title, the meritorious service he has established may be enough to obtain a hereditary title.

However, this does not mean that Hibbert Hall, as the eldest son, does not need to work hard.

Although he has been confirmed as the heir to the title, he still needs to make some achievements to prove himself.

Prior to this, Hibbert joined the Soot Emissions Reduction Association and the Smoke Emissions Reduction Association, and has been actively promoting the formation of the 'Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee'.

This also caused him to seldom go home in the previous few months, and naturally he never met Ember.

Until the end of September, the bill to establish an 'Air Pollution Investigation Committee' was finally passed in Parliament.

But even though the bill had been passed at the end of September, Hibbert finally had the opportunity to return home today after more than half a month of busy work.

Oh, by the way.

The reason why Ember can understand so clearly is because Miss Audrey said these things herself.

Just now, in the room.

"I……"

Ember collected her thoughts, and just as she was about to speak, Earl Hall took the initiative to break the siege and said, "Viscount Black's family has a lot of prestige in Winter County, and now Backlund's is serving in St. Samuel's Cathedral."

"Viscount? Winter County? Church of Evernight?"

Hibbert's expression moved slightly, he immersed himself in cutting the tender steak on the plate, and put a small piece of steak into his mouth.

A border nobleman is still just a viscount, and this status itself is not outstanding.

But he came from Cold Winter County and served in the Church of Evernight.

There is no doubt that this Viscount Black's relationship with the Church of Evernight is far closer than that of the Kingdom of Loen!
Hibbert was not stupid, he knew very well why his father would open his mouth to help the other party.

"pretty good."

Hibbert swallowed the steak in his mouth, and said, "Alfred also wanted to join the Church of Evernight, but unfortunately he chose the military in the end."

Hibbert sighed, shook his head and did not continue.

They are all loyal believers of the Evernight Church.

In fact, Alfred joined the army instead of the Church of Evernight, in fact, he had his own interests in mind.

"Tell me about you."

Earl Hall smiled and said nothing, but Lady Caitlin joked, "Alfred's feats in the Southern Continent can even be exchanged for a hereditary title. As an older brother, don't lose to him."

"Absolutely not!"

Hibbert raised his head and said brightly, "The Air Pollution Investigation Committee was established the day before yesterday. The chairman is Sir Desshaw, and I am the chief secretary! And the parliament will introduce bills on air pollution one after another. From now on Finally, anthracite and charcoal will become mainstream!"

After a pause, Hibbert urged, "Ash, if your family can still spare some spare money, I suggest you invest in Coim Company! Although it is still a small company, I'm sure it will The stock price will continue to rise in the next year! Believe me, this investment will not let you down!"

"sounds good."

Ember nodded in agreement, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Then brother, why don't you invest in it?"

Audrey asked like a curious baby.

"I can't make any investments in it."

Hibbert shook his head with a hesitant expression, as if he was thinking about how to explain it to Audrey.

Earl Hall tapped his finger on the table, and said slowly, "Hibert is the Chief Secretary of the Air Pollution Investigation Commission, and he cannot be involved in commercial activities related to anthracite and charcoal."

"Although this will allow us to earn hundreds of thousands of gold pounds, it will seriously affect Hibbert's future!"

If it was an ordinary nobleman, he might choose one hundred thousand gold pounds.

But for the Hall family, which is not short of money, the career of Hibbert, the eldest son, is obviously more important.

Ember understood, and understood that Audrey actually asked this question for him.

Unfortunately, he is not very interested in money.

"Ash."

Seeing Ember's lack of interest, Hibbert warned, "You must not underestimate this investment. In fact, even if you don't invest in Coym Company, I still suggest that you shift the focus of your family from land to other areas as soon as possible. industry."

As he spoke, Hibbert couldn't help shaking his head and sighed, "Since the abolition of the Corn Laws, the life of nobles has become more and more difficult."

"The Corn Bill?"

Ember frowned slightly.

For some reason, the development process of the entire Loen Kingdom gave him a rather familiar feeling.

Especially this so-called 'Corn Bill' gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

Although he didn't try to understand it, Ember also knew that the core of the Grain Act was to protect the price of the country's agricultural products, and the biggest beneficiary of this was the traditional land aristocracy of the Loen Kingdom.

But after the Corn Act was repealed, food prices plummeted.

For ordinary people, the repeal of this bill is undoubtedly a good thing.

Because their cost of living has been significantly reduced.

But at the same time, a large number of ordinary farmers and even small nobles went bankrupt.

And it is foreseeable that in the days to come, food prices will continue to decline.

"Yes."

Hibbert shrugged and said, "Do you know Duke Negan? He is the nobleman who owns the most land outside the royal family. He claims to have more than 1200 million pounds in fields, pastures and forests. Last year, his land rent income reached a staggering 130 million. Pounds! And this year, the foreseeable total land rent income will not exceed 85 pounds, a full reduction of 45 pounds!"

"And you know, it's been less than four months since the repeal of the Corn Bills!"

"45 pounds?"

Audrey exclaimed, and whispered, "This is more than all the property I can get."

"Hahaha."

Earl Hall couldn't help laughing, "My dear Audrey, you have to trust your father. I guarantee that your share of property will definitely be more than this part."

"Really? Thank you Dad."

A surprised smile appeared on Audrey's face.

Hibbert looked at his sister helplessly. Although the other party took away the wealth that would belong to him in the future, Hibbert didn't have any dissatisfaction with it.

Because this is her own sister after all, and she can neither inherit the title like herself, nor be destined to make contributions like Alfred.So the only compensation they can make is to share an extra part of her property when she is an adult. "

What's more, Earl Hall is one of the top three bankers in the entire Loen Kingdom, with a family fortune of tens of millions. There are not many people richer than them in the entire Loen Kingdom.

It's only a few hundred thousand gold list, just a small amount of money.

With Audrey's 'gag', the atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely harmonious.

Until Ember took the initiative to leave long after the dinner, Hibbert was still a little reluctant.

"I'll send him off."

Audrey said in a low voice with a blushing face.

Mrs. Caitlin was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled jokingly.

Audrey sent it all the way far away, until the accompanying maid followed far behind, and after ensuring that the Beyonders in the villa could not eavesdrop at this distance, Audrey suddenly whispered, "That is a card of blasphemy. "

Ember looked down at the girl, and immediately understood that she was talking about the bookmark.

Presumably at dinner, she was summoned by the Fool.

"there's one more thing."

Audrey asked in a low voice, "Can you help me prepare a potion formula for the pharmacist path?"

Viscount Glaint has been asking her this question for two full months, and even Audrey, who is an 'audience', was a little upset by the question.

"can."

Ember nodded slightly, it was just a potion formula, not a big deal.

"Thank you."

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing speaking, she suddenly blushed slightly, and ran towards the villa shyly.

Those who didn't know thought that she and Ember had talked about something shy.

Back at the villa, when the girl came to the living room to greet her family.The teasing eyes of her parents and elder brother seemed to make the girl retreat from embarrassment once again, and she fled the scene blushing without saying a word.

"Dengdengdeng!"

In the living room, Mrs. Caitlin heard the footsteps coming from the stairs, her expression seemed doting and a little helpless.

"Really."

Back in the room, Audrey's expression returned to normal, and she said to the golden retriever dog next to the bed with a little distress, "Dad, do they really want to marry me off so much?"

I have to pretend to be in front of my parents every time, and it is also very tiring.

Susie moved her mouth, vibrating the air and making a sound, "I can't give you a definite answer, I can't even deeply understand what love means, after all, I'm just a dog."

Hearing these words, Audrey was speechless for a moment.

She just sighed, with a rather helpless expression.

So, why did it become like this? !
-
"Hibert."

In the living room, Earl Hall took a sip of the queen's black tea offered by the maid on the table, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Viscount Black?"

"not bad."

Hibbert thought about his choice of words, and said after thinking about it, "Viscount Black's personality is quite humble, and he doesn't have the impetuosity and publicity of other young noble children. To be honest, I have always wanted to be like Viscount Black." People become friends.”

Earl Hall nodded slightly, and said slowly, "His family comes from Winter County, and family members have served in the Church of Evernight for generations. I think you should understand what this means?"

"of course."

Hibbert nodded slightly.

The level of the title does not represent everything, and Hibbert himself has a deep understanding of this.

It's like their family's title is only earl, but in terms of wealth alone, they are far richer than most old dukes and marquises.Even compared with Duke Negan, it is still worse than that.

Although Ash was only a Viscount, his relationship with the Church of Evernight made his status far surpass that of ordinary nobles.After all, in front of the Church of Evernight, not to mention nobles, even the royal family has to stand aside honestly!
Earl Hall took another sip of black tea and said slowly, "As you can see, he is a Extraordinary, and so is Audrey."

"Audrey?!"

Hibbert's expression changed slightly, "But..."

"I know what you're trying to say."

Earl Hall interrupted him, shook his head and said, "She has been searching for things related to the extraordinary world. It's only a matter of time. And you should be very clear about her character. You can't stop her."

After a pause, Earl Hall smiled again, "At least we should be thankful that Audrey has neither followed Alfred's old path nor joined the Church of Evernight, has she? For us, becoming a "Wild Extraordinary" may be the best choice."

Hibbert's eyes moved slightly, is there something in his father's words?
However, it is also true in the literal sense.

The biggest problem for wild Beyonders is the lack of money and resources.

But they are nobles, and they are also big bankers, and the last thing they need is money.

In fact.

It's not that Hibbert didn't think about becoming a Extraordinary.

But he finally chose to give up.

After all, there is a risk of getting out of control to become a Extraordinary, and this risk is not low.

He is still young, and he can inherit the title steadily, so there is no need to take the risk of becoming an Extraordinary.

Just like Earl Hall back then, he did the same.

Just thinking about this, Hibbert suddenly heard his father's voice again.

"Hibert."

Earl Hall slowly said, "Ash is currently serving as Audrey's mystery teacher. I have already told him that he will come to teach Audrey when he is free. My suggestion is that you Try to stay at home for a few days. When Ash comes, contact him proactively, and find an opportunity to ask him how to become a Extraordinary."

"Extraordinary?"

Hibbert's expression was a little subtle.

To be honest, he didn't want to take any chances.

"do not worry."

Earl Hall smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, he should have a method to reduce the risk of losing control, and this method may be the secret of the Church of Evernight, and he is the only one who has been a member of the Church of Evernight for generations. Those who serve are entitled to know."

"As long as you master this method, you can become a Extraordinary in a relatively safe way."

Earl Hall looked into Hibbert's eyes and said earnestly, "Your mother and I are old, but you are still young. There is nothing wrong with wanting to go further in politics, but at least I hope you can have a certain ability to protect yourself .”

"Just like Duke Negan, he is the largest land nobleman in the entire Loen Kingdom other than the king, and he is also the leader of the Conservative Party. Isn't the elder brother of the current Prime Minister also an Extraordinary?"

"it is good."

Hibbert was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, "I will talk to him."

"Ah."

Earl Hall patted his eldest son on the shoulder with a relieved expression.

But in addition to this excitement, there was also a trace of deep-seated worry in his eyes.

Their family is the top nobleman of the Loen Kingdom, but they are also loyal believers of the Evernight Goddess.

As the current Earl, he will not and cannot stand in line easily, he can only 'invest'.

Audrey was already in it, but not enough.

So he needs to increase the size, and Hibbert, the next earl, is a good choice.

As for the royal family, the Earl has already made a bet—

The second son Alfred is still serving in the army, which is a kind of 'loyalty'.

If it was before, Earl Hall might not be in such a hurry.

But because of Ember's contact with Audrey, he could not help but selfishly investigated Ember and his family in Winter County.

And this investigation did let him discover some clues.

Earl Hall's intuition told him that in the past few years, the situation may undergo earth-shaking changes!
Before long, a storm will sweep across the entire Loen Kingdom.

And to survive this storm, they must prepare early.

"The Card of Blasphemy."

Walking on the streets of Hillston, Ember was thinking about the reminder of Audrey's farewell.

That bookmark was a card of blasphemy, which was beyond his expectation.

But even though he was surprised, Ember didn't regret much.

If you want to open that bookmark, you obviously need the corresponding 'password', but Ember doesn't know the password, so keeping that bookmark in his hand will only be a waste.

not to mention.

He also doesn't have much need for cards of blasphemy.

So far, his only impression of the card of blasphemy exists only in the so-called 'Oracle'——

A certain deity wanted him to collect all 22 cards of profane, especially the Moon and Mother cards.

But Ember does not intend to act in accordance with the so-called 'oracle'.

Suddenly, Ember twitched her nose and smelled a strong smell of blood.

Ember slightly frowned, looked up, and saw a lady in the living room ahead.

The lady's expression was full of pain, and there was a large wound on her abdomen, and all the internal organs seemed to be gone.

At the same time, Ember heard the voice of "He He He".

Like something is eating.

Looking carefully, there is a big black dog squatting on the side of the female corpse. Its mouth is half-opened, revealing a series of sharp white teeth that make people tremble, and above each tooth, there are growths. There are rust-like dark red marks, which seem to be the result of eating flesh and blood for a long time but not cleaning it frequently.

At this moment, the teeth of that large black dog were still wrapped with bloody small intestines, surrounded by shredded raw meat.

Its head moved over, and Ember's figure was reflected in its magma-like eyes.

"Serial murder case."

Ember immediately thought of the corresponding case, but he only felt it was ridiculous.

In the so-called serial murder case, the murderer was actually a dog?

However, the Extraordinary in Backlund had been catching it for more than two months, but they were unable to catch this dog.

Ember sneered, shook her head and turned to leave.

"Lo!"

A demonstrative growl came from the throat of the large black dog,
Suddenly, the body of the black dog swelled rapidly, turning into a monster with a height of two or three meters. Behind it,
A pair of huge bat wings spread slowly, and horns covered with mysterious patterns grow beside the ears.

Blossoming crimson and blue flames jumped out of its moist and shiny hair, and the strong smell of sulfur dissipated, looking like a devil!

Charge!
Another low growl sounded from the shadows.

Before the demon dog pounced on the embers, a corrupt wild dog with scarlet eyes sprang out of the shadows and bit the demon dog by the neck.

This is not a fatal injury.

Especially for physically tyrannical demons.

However, between the words, the scarlet corruption that once killed the gods spread throughout its body.

Just in the blink of an eye.

The ferocious body of the devil dog collapsed powerlessly, and the eye-catching scarlet was all over its swollen huge body!

As for all of this happening, Ember didn't even take a look at it.

He just strolled peacefully on the street, returned to No. 117 Birningham Street, and walked in through the door.

"How many times have I said that?"

Sitting on the sofa, Forsi complained, holding her white and tender calf with both hands, "Open the door, open the door! Is it so difficult to open the door once?"

"Next time definitely."

Ember shrugged perfunctorily, and asked a little strangely, "You guys haven't slept yet."

"Waiting for you!"

Forsi said angrily, "We didn't even eat dinner, we just waited for you to come and cut the cake together, but you didn't come back until so late!"

Ember glanced at the unpacked cake on the table, and fell silent.

"My fault."

Ember raised her head and said seriously, "It won't happen next time."

"I won't take you with me on my next birthday!"

Forsi snorted softly to express her dissatisfaction.

"alright!"

Instead, Xio smiled and said softly, "Since everyone is here, let's cut the cake."

……

"It's so big, how can it be eaten!"

"It's okay, the two of you can eat together."
