[Extraordinary characteristics of ancient alchemists]

"Snapped!"

The hotbed residue melted the golem and also the 'alchemist' inside.Bringing the mass of smelted slag to the ground, it melted the ground again, smelting a huge melting pit exuding high temperature on the ground.

At the same time, due to the loss of the control of the alchemist, the steel golem that also lost the blessing of life also stopped moving.

And with the end of the battle, the violent thunder in the sky gradually dissipated. 'Singer of the Gods' Ace Snake looked at the hotbed residue with some apprehension, made a deliberate circle and came in front of Ember and Archbishop Anthony, and slowly landed from mid-air.

"It has ended."

Archbishop Anthony looked up at the singer of the eyes, and said slowly.

Ace Snake frowned, and asked in a magnetic voice, "Is he the only one?"

Anthony looked around for a week, and said in a deep voice, "At least I didn't find anyone else."

He didn't think that the ancient alchemist would be alone, but he really didn't find any signs of his accomplice.For someone alone, as long as they have enough money, it is difficult to become a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, but it is not impossible.

But if you want to become a demigod, you must have the support of a big force behind it.

Ace Snake sighed, and said with some regret, "It's a pity that the man is dead, otherwise we should be able to ask something from him."

They originally wanted to capture him alive, but unfortunately he was already dead in the hands of Ember.Ace Snake had just scanned around, but the opponent didn't even have a soul left, and was already burned to the ground by the residue of the hotbed.Of course, although Ace Snake didn't know Ember's identity, he could also tell that he had a lot to do with the Church of Evernight, so he wisely didn't hold him accountable.

What's more, they are not completely invisible.

This demigod has been hiding in Backlund for an unknown amount of time. Although he is dead, he will definitely leave behind many clues.Just like what Emperor Roselle said: Wherever you walk, you will leave traces.

Based on these clues, not to mention following the clues to find out who is behind the scenes, at least find out which force is behind him.

Seeing the regretful expression on the singer's face, Ember suddenly asked:
"Although a person is dead, the soul can also ask questions, right?"

"Ok?"

Ace Snake was stunned for a while, and then saw Ember take out a ball of light and hand it to Anthony.

Anthony's eyes lit up, and he skillfully took over the light ball, and after a while a male figure appeared from it.Although the shape is quite illusory, but judging from its appearance, it is the unknown demigod of the earth path!

Ace Snake looked back with a weird expression, but he didn't want to ask the Church of Evernight for the ownership of his soul.After all, they killed people, and they kept their souls.On the contrary, it was not good for my side to do things, and almost let people run away.

"Thank you for your help, Your Excellency Ash."

The singer of the gods clenched his fist and lightly tapped his chest, saying solemnly.

"Compared to this."

Ember rubbed his chin, then looked sideways at the singer of the gods, "I'm more curious about another question."

"what?"

The singer of the gods was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard Ember ask something pointed:

"The movement of your battle just now was not ordinary. I can see it in Hillston District, but where are the royal family?"

The singer of God's expression moved slightly.

This time the action was a joint action between the royal family and the three major churches. The archbishops of the three major churches were all present, but what about the royal family?They have seen a lot of extraordinary people from the royal family, and they are indeed doing their best to cooperate with the three major churches.But the point is demigod!Where are the royal demigods?
Anthony's expression moved slightly, and he quietly removed the 'curtain of darkness' covering the pier.On the outskirts of the battlefield, the elite Extraordinary of the major churches saw the curtain dissipate, and at this time they also greeted them tacitly.

The "Singer of God" Ace Snake, who was wearing a black soft hat, swept his silver eyes, and said to the Punisher elites who rushed over:
"Go and find out, and see what the royal family is doing!"

Many of the Extraordinary present belonged to MI[-], and their faces changed slightly when they heard this.But the singer of the gods didn't even bother to look at them, obviously he didn't care at all, otherwise he wouldn't have said this in front of them.

……

At the same time, somewhere in Backlund, another battle is quietly taking place.

And the movement caused by the battle here is not much inferior to the battle in the dock area.It's just that this place seems to be in an independent space under the blessing of some kind of power.

Although it is also Backlund, it does not overlap with the real Backlund.Everything that happens in this way will not affect reality, and naturally it will not be observed by reality.

At this time, in this independent space, three demigods above Sequence 4 are engaged in a battle of unprecedented scale!

One of them was none other than the oblong-faced Prince of Sunia, Grove Augustus.At this time, he was joining hands with the other two demigods who also belonged to the royal family to attack another demigod.

"Teleportation is prohibited here!"

"Floating is prohibited here!"

"It is forbidden to hide here!"

"..."

Grove Augustus mercilessly cooperated with other demigods to make shots, imposing a series of prohibition rules, and said in a deep voice:

"Zatvin, you know what I'm talking about! Hand me over and I'll let you go!"

At the same time, a slightly visible figure appeared in the midair, and he staggered and fell to the ground, barely maintaining his figure.

This figure was wearing a black clergyman's robe and a black glove on his left palm. His face was thin, his skin was brownish, and his eyes were sunken like a mummy.The roots of the beard are black and white, extending from the sides of the mouth to the ears. However, they are not thick, and they are quite short, appearing dotted.

He is the demigod of the Rose School of Thought, the mentor of the leader of the Celestial Sect, and the 'silent disciple' of Sequence 3, Zatwin.

But at this moment, this demigod, who was originally aloof, looked extremely embarrassed at the moment.He didn't even care about cleaning up the dust on his body, and he couldn't deal with his bleeding wound. His light brown eyes, which were close to the color of his skin, were staring coldly at the few people behind him, and said in a deep voice:
"What do you want?"

"Don't play dumb!"

Grove Augustus said coldly, "We know that dog is a ghost raised by your Rose School of Thought, and the Loen Kingdom has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Rose School of Thought, as long as you hand over the cure for the curse and those things, we will I can let you go!"

Zatvin coughed twice, his face turned pale and blue, and he gritted his teeth, "I don't even know what you are talking about!"

what dogWhat curse?
He can't understand it at all!
"It seems that you still don't want to say it, it's okay, you will say it when you die."

Grove Augustus' eyes turned cold, he sneered and didn't bother to persuade him.Although the Loen Kingdom does not want to easily offend the secret organization, and even has a cooperative relationship with the Witch Sect, this does not mean that the Loen royal family is afraid of making enemies with the secret organization!

If you are alive but refuse to speak, after death your soul will always speak.

Grove Augustus no longer held back, and cooperated with the other two demigods to launch the final attack.

"Damn!"

Zatwin cursed angrily, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a large number of resentful souls and living corpses that had been prepared to flock to several people.

For ordinary people, just seeing this scene is enough to scare them half to death.But for demigods, these things are not really a threat.

One of the demigods stopped and immediately said solemnly:

"Ghosts and Wraiths are forbidden here!"

"The resurrection of the dead is forbidden here!"

Taking advantage of this moment, Zatwin's figure suddenly disappeared.That is a strange ability belonging to silent disciples, they can possess other objects for a long time.As long as there are enough possessed objects and escape far enough, even demigods will find it difficult to find them!
Seeing that Zatwin's figure disappeared, Grove immediately said solemnly:

"Appendages are prohibited here!"

In the next instant, Zatwin's disappearing figure reappeared out of thin air.

"Gan!"

……

In the Backlund Bridge area, two embarrassed figures were running wildly on the streets shrouded in night.

They crossed the streets illuminated by gas lamps, fled into the deep alleys that smelled of rot, and tried their best to hide their whereabouts under the cover of night.Because if passers-by saw their appearance, they would be so scared that they would call the police immediately.

After all, the two of them were as pale as a dead person, and there were even rotten wounds on their faces.His flesh and blood had long since rotted away, strips of white maggots were scrambling to wriggle out, and when they got close, they could even smell the rotten stench from the corpse.And the other one was even more exaggerated, it was directly a werewolf covered with stiff black hairs!

Even from the surface alone, it can be judged that they are the Sequence 6 'Living Corpse' and Sequence 7 'Werewolf' of the 'Prisoner' respectively, and their characteristics are not too obvious.

And these two people are obviously also members of the Rose School of Thought.

"Damn it, these official Beyonders suddenly went crazy! They are chasing after you like mad dogs!"

After finally getting rid of the pursuers, the werewolf Tire rested against the wall of the alley, cursing non-stop.

"Say a few words less."

Jason, the living corpse at the side, said coldly, "Lord Zatvin is holding those demigods back to buy us a chance to escape. If it's because of you that you delay... don't blame me for not reminding you in advance!"

There was a hint of coldness in the werewolf Tire's eyes, but he didn't open his mouth to refute.

Being besieged by three demigods at the same time, everyone knows that Lord Zatvin must be in danger.They were able to escape in the chaos, thanks to the fact that the demigods of the royal family looked down on them little mice.

What's more, the royal family didn't just let them go like this, those royal lackeys from MI[-] are still chasing after them!Although they have also prepared several safe houses, these safe houses are obviously unreliable when the old lair is raided.

Although Backlund was big, there was no longer any place for them to hide.All they can undoubtedly do now is to escape from Backlund as soon as possible under the darkness of night.

"Jason, Tyre."

In a house not far away, Sharon, who was wearing a long black palace dress and a small soft hat, suddenly said softly, "They are the ones who hunted us down."

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

Klein was looking at the two figures cautiously sticking their heads out in the alley with a strange expression on their faces. They were already planning to give up on tonight's action, but you actually took the initiative to deliver them to your door. What's the matter?
"Do you want to start?"

'Living Corpse' Maric licked his lips, and asked eagerly, "I missed it this time, and there may not be such a good opportunity in the future!"

Sharon didn't reply, but glanced at Klein.

Klein immediately understood that Sharon must be inclined to do something, but he still needs to seek advice from him as a foreign aid.After all, the reason why tonight's operation was cancelled, and the reason why they survived the 'Great Purge' was also thanks to his intelligence.

He himself prefers to be more stable, but Miss Sharron helped him after all.And right now is indeed an excellent time to do it, and it cannot be easily missed.

Klein hesitated for a long time, and finally made a difficult decision, gritted his teeth and said:
"Let me do a divination first."

In front of several other people, Klein took out his pendulum.

After a while, he got the answer——

Good luck!

"Done!"

Klein thought viciously in his heart.

……

In the East District, Ikanser Bernard, who has fluffy, messy, and stubborn brown hair, is holding an ancient silver mirror with strange patterns, and black gemstones are decorated as "eyes" on both sides of the mirror.

He was a little nervous, because at this time the archbishops of the three major churches in the Backlund diocese were all around him.

"let's start."

An old man in a white priest's robe and a priest's soft hat gave Ikanser an order.And he is the Archbishop of the Church of Steam in the Backlund Diocese, Horamick Haydn.

"call!"

Ikanser took a deep breath, picked up the silver mirror, and stroked the surface three times with his right hand.

After a slight pause, he said in a deep voice:

"Dear Arrods, my question is, where is Prince Sonia now?"

Although this mirror is only a second-level sealed item, its ability is very useful.However, in order to ensure an accurate description of the question and obtain an answer, Ikanser chose to directly address the person in charge of the royal family who organized this cooperation, Prince Grove Augustus of Sonia.

The surrounding light suddenly became deep, as if it was stained with the mist after the rain, and there was a strange watery light flashing on the surface of the silver mirror, gathering a scene:
In an independent space that seems to be cut and surrounded by light, Grove Augustus, who has a rectangular face and is dressed hundreds of years ago, is leading two other demigods to besiege a thin old man in black robe .

But right now, the old man was obviously overwhelmed under the siege of three demigods.He had been deprived of several extraordinary abilities in a short period of time, and he couldn't even escape after being severely injured.

Others were still thinking about the identity of the old man, but 'Singer of God' Ace Snake said directly:

"That's the demigod of the Rose School of Thought, Zatwin, a Sequence 3 saint."

Horamick Haydn's originally frowning brows eased slightly, and he smiled and said, "It seems that the royal family is indeed still on the move, it's just that they were entangled by demigods from other forces and couldn't come in time support."

"Your Excellency Ash, what do you think?"

Anthony did not express his opinion, but cast his eyes on the embers aside.When he looked at it, the other two archbishops also turned their eyes to Ember one after another, with some kind inquiries.

"maybe."

Ember looked at the picture in the mirror and said calmly.

Perhaps because he knew that the Black Emperor was George III, he lacked the most basic trust in the Loen royal family.

He instinctively felt that there was a conspiracy in the royal family, and he still thought so even now.Although the other party is now also dealing with the demigod of the secret organization, it seems that they are doing their best, but maybe this is also in the royal family's plan?
Ember watched the battle coming to an end in the silver mirror, and said slowly, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"of course."

Archbishop Anthony smiled and nodded, "Leave the rest to us."

Ikanser didn't notice when Ember left. He was listening carefully to the views of the archbishops on the royal family.

But at this moment, the picture in the silver mirror ended with the old man lying in a pool of blood.When the mirror went black, a few lines of ancient Feysac words suddenly appeared on the silver mirror:

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it is my turn to ask questions."

"If you answer wrong, or lie, you will be punished."

The word "punishment" was as red as blood, as if it was still dripping!

The expression on Ikanser's face was distorted for a moment, and then became extremely solemn.

Immediately afterwards, the water on the silver mirror flickered, and a new line of words appeared:
"What is your sexual orientation?"

Ikanser was stunned for a moment. Even the three archbishops couldn't care less about wondering if the royal family had some other purpose, and turned their gazes to Ikanser instantly.

……

Throughout the second half of the night, the Extraordinary members of the three major churches were extremely busy.

First of all, the captured wild Extraordinary needs to be dealt with by the major churches as soon as possible. Due to too many people being arrested, even the cages originally used to hold Extraordinary are not enough.

And as the Nighthawks who can pull people into the night as Sequence 7, they are also the busiest among the three churches.Because they also need to let the residents who witnessed the battle scene at the junction of the East End and the Docklands fall into a dream, and erase their memories through the dream.

Fortunately, most of the Nighthawks are more refreshed at night, even if they only need to sleep for a few hours a day, even if they work all night, they are still full of energy in the next day.

Naturally, Ember would not get involved with these, after all Anthony had already said that he did not need to deal with the finishing matters.He went directly back to Hillston District, and met with Al Hasson and the others who were escorting those wild Extraordinary people to the Church of Stars.

After confirming that he had no other work to help him, he returned home instead.

Standing at the door of Burningham 117, Ember glanced at the pitch-black building, without any lights inside, it seemed that Forsi and Xio had already fallen asleep.However, when Ember passed through the door and came to the living room, Fors and Xio were sitting side by side on the sofa looking at him.

Ember asked with a normal face as if she had expected it long ago, "Why are you still awake so late?"

"Can't sleep."

Xio shook his head, and asked softly, "Did the Church of Evernight do anything? Why did you come back so late?"

"It's a small thing, to capture two Beyonders from the secret organization."

Ember gave a brief explanation and turned the switch of the gas lamp on the side.

Da da da, slap

A clump of flames ignited and quickly grew in size. The bright light first occupied the interior of the wall lamp, and then passed through the transparent glass, covering the room with a warm color.

The darkness receded suddenly, and Scarlet exited the window.

"ember."

Xio hesitated for two seconds, and under the expectant eyes of his friends, he slowly said, "Forsi, she has something very important to tell you!"

"Huh? Hey!"

Forsi opened her eyes wide, and looked at Xio in disbelief, didn't we speak well?

Xio gave her a blank look, and said angrily, "Who told you to promise someone else without permission? Since you promised someone else, of course you have to tell Ember yourself these words."

"what's up?"

Ember looked at Forsi with some doubts.

"It's not a big deal, just agreeing to deliver something to an old man."

Fors shrank her neck, weakly told Ember about her experiences in the cemetery during the day, and finally added in a low voice, "He said that the Abraham family will give us a generous reward."

"Is it the Abraham family?"

After thinking for a moment, Ember nodded slightly, "Then let's go tomorrow, as it happens that I am also very interested in this family."

"Is it really okay?"

Forsi was a little pleasantly surprised, but also nervously asked in a low voice.

Ember smiled and said, "Anyway, Pritz Harbor is not too far away, and it only takes half a day to go back and forth."

"really."

Xio nodded, and said seriously, "If you take the first steam train in the morning, you should be able to get back before three o'clock in the afternoon."

After a pause, Xio added, "The premise is that Forsi you can wake up so early."

"stop!"

……

The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark.

Coupled with the fact that the three of Klein were recharging their energy, facing three semi-disabled Extraordinary, there was naturally no suspense in this battle.

And when Ms. Sharron, following Klein's suggestion of "quick and fast, the persimmons should be picked softly", took the lead in invading the werewolf's body from the dark, controlled the werewolf's body, and let him pull out his neck alive. .

"Sharon, you should die!"

With the death of the werewolf, although the remaining 'living corpse' Jason was stronger than the 'werewolf' Tyre, and even though Steve from Sequence 5 was possessed in his body, under the premeditated siege of the three of them, , and he could only drink his hatred on the spot after letting out an unwilling roar.

Klein looked at Miss Sharon who was wearing a small black soft hat, and reminded, "The official Extraordinary may arrive at any time, we have to hurry up."

Sharon nodded, turned her head and asked:

"Okay, Maric?"

"rest assured."

Maric's hoarse voice came from behind, and his pale corpse-like face emerged from the shadows, "I have already made my living corpse attract the attention of those Extraordinary, and they will not come here in a short time."

Even though that was the case, in order to guard against the Extraordinary who might come, the three of them quickly cleaned up the battlefield with a tacit understanding.And after that, he quickly returned to his home in Casper not far away.

……

Backlund Empress Borough, Sodlark Palace.

Grove Augustus, who had just fooled the archbishops of the three major churches on the grounds of dealing with the Rose School, returned to the palace for the first time and personally channeled Zatwin's soul they had obtained.

However, when he finally completed the psychic communication, he still had a livid expression.

Because he found neither the method of contacting the curse in Zatwin's soul, nor the lost letters and information.

With trepidation, he had an audience with George III wearing a crown late at night.

And when he finished describing the clues he had received through psychics, George III's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said in a deep voice:

"You want to tell me that we spent a huge price to unite the three major churches, even gave up the arrangement that lasted for several years, and sacrificed our loyal allies all the time, but in exchange for nothing? Is that so?! It wasn't what you swore to tell me before I, those things must be done with the Rose School of thought?!"

"His Majesty!"

Grove Augustus had cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly explained, "These things are definitely done by the Rose School of Thought, I assure you! Whether it is a wandering spirit or a curse, these are the usual methods of the Rose School of Thought! This time It is possible that our actions were simply because we caught the wrong person."

If it's just that the wrong person was caught, then at most, the intelligence personnel below did not get accurate information.But if the direction of suspicion is wrong, it will be his fault.So even if he doubted whether it was the Rose School of Thought, now he can only bite to death that it was the Rose School of Thought!
George III leaned back in his chair expressionlessly, and said coldly, "Then tell me, what useful information did you get from his soul?"

Grove couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly explained, "The reason why Zatwin appeared in Backlund is because he has been hunting down the Temperance School in the Rose School of Thought, and it just so happens that the Temperance School has been hiding in Backlund At the same time, he was appointed by the god Sierra to track down a 'blasphemer' appointed by a false oracle."

George III's expression moved slightly, and he frowned and asked, "A blasphemer?"

"Yes."

Grove nodded and quickly explained, "A month ago, the Rose School of Thought received an oracle from Saint Jax in Rorsted Islands, ordering an envoy wearing ten rings to collect 22 cards of blasphemy. "

"But it was later discovered that this oracle was actually passed on by a demigod. The person wearing the ten rings was not an angel, but a blasphemer. And recently, the Bound God An oracle was passed down, declaring that the blasphemer is in Backlund."

"Demi god?"

George III said coldly, "Do you think that any demigod can fake an oracle to deceive another demigod?"

Grove's face froze, he smiled wryly and didn't dare to refute.

What can he do?That is what Zatwin's soul said, and he, of course, had to convey it to George III.It is better to be ridiculed now than to be held accountable afterwards.

After all, although George III is theoretically his descendant, he is more than a little bit higher than him in terms of strength and status.In front of George III, he did not dare to show the so-called elder attitude, after all, he knew the consequences——

Those in the royal family who rely on the old to sell the old have long been secretly cleaned up by George III with an iron fist!
George III glanced at Grove, and didn't feel too hard for him, but asked indifferently: "Could this be done by the Temperance?"

"Not too possible."

Grove thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The Temperance Faction has already been nearly wiped out under the suppression of the indulgence system, and even the angels of its Sequence 2 were killed by the indulgence system, and the rest are some who are not even demigods." A small character. And if you want to have a curse that can kill demigods, you must at least be a Silent Disciple above Sequence 3."

George III tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said quietly:
"There are not many saints in the Rose School of Thought. If it wasn't for the saints of the Rose School of Thought, then I'm afraid there are only gods and evils."

Grove's heart sank immediately. If only a Sequence 3 demigod was targeting them, the Loen royal family could handle it.But if the angel of Sequence 1, the divine sinner Siah, made the move himself, the consequences would be unimaginable!Unlike demigods, the angels of Sequence 1 are plans that might really threaten them!
After all, even His Majesty is just...

George III was obviously also aware of this, and said in a deep voice:
"Go ask that person for any suggestions. He provided the potion formula and planned the plan. Now that we have problems, we should let him help us solve them.

Grove looked up at George III with some doubts at first, not knowing who he was talking about, but then a corresponding image appeared in his mind.While the pupils shrank sharply, he suppressed the horror in his heart, and immediately lowered his head respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He didn't ask why George III didn't ask that one himself, because they are all Sequence 1 angels, and they are the most powerful Extraordinary in this world other than righteous gods.Therefore, they must try their best to avoid causing panic to each other.

Although Grove didn't think that gentleman would panic, even that was George III's 'teacher' to some extent.But for the angels of Sequence 1, no matter what, not meeting is the best way for them to get along with each other.

……

In a secret space filled with light, a cross with a height of more than [-] meters stands in front of it.In front of the cross, a huge blurry figure stood there, carrying everything on its back, watching the spirits with pity.

In front of the giant, there were rows of black seats with backrests, but there was only one prayer.

The praying man closed his eyes, sitting in the center of the first row, wearing a rather simple white robe, with a pale gold beard covering the lower half of his face, clasping his hands in front of the silver cross pendant on his chest, with an expression Gentle and calm.

At this time, he raised his head, revealing the eyes as clear as a child.

And in front of him was Grove Augustus who didn't know why or when he appeared here.

He stood up slowly, looked at Grove in front of him, and said calmly:

"Tell George III that everything is going according to plan and that the Rose School will not hinder us."

Grove Augustus still lowered his head, not daring to lift it up.

The demigod who is high above in the real world dare not even move in front of this person.

And he didn't look at Grove too much, because Grove's figure quickly faded and disappeared in the next second.In the entire radiant space, he was the only one left.

But he did not sit down again, nor continued to pray.

He just looked at a certain place, his eyes seemed to pass through countless spaces, and finally fell on someone, and whispered:
"Chuhuo, perhaps, this is another path to the old days. And..."

He raised his head, he didn't know what he saw, and his expression was melancholy.

Although the future is unknown and it is a path he has never explored, at least Chuhuo will not be subject to the initial shackles and threats.

……

October 10, Wednesday.

Ember and Fors arrived at Pritz Harbor by steam train early in the morning, which only took less than four hours.And in order to ensure that they could go home before the evening and enjoy the dinner made by Hugh and Clarice, they also booked the return inland waterway tickets in advance.
Compared to the 'fog capital' Backlund, the air quality in Pritz Harbor is a bit better.It's just that no matter where they are, they can smell the smell of the sea that fills the air.However, compared to Backlund, the streets here are relatively dirty.

Without any twists and turns, they easily found the Fishermen's Association in an old small building, and met Dorian Gray there.

This gentleman is of medium build, but has exaggerated arms, and his hair is neatly combed, which is completely different from the bird's nest-like hairstyle of most people in the association.

Dorian sat at the desk and greeted with a smile:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Black, Ms. Wall, can I help you?"

Fors subconsciously looked at Ember, and after getting Ember's nod of approval, she mustered up the courage to take a step forward, and said softly:
"Mr. Lawrence sent me to you."

She briefly explained the purpose of coming, and handed Lawrence's suicide note, notebook, and diamond-like Extraordinary characteristics to him.

A trace of astonishment and surprise flashed in Dorian's eyes, as if he hadn't expected Lawrence, whom he had just met not long ago, to pass away so suddenly.He took these items from the girl's hand with a complicated expression, and opened the suicide note first.

After reading it carefully, he raised his head and looked at Fors sincerely with his blue eyes:
"Praise for your kindness and trustworthiness, Ms. Wall, I will always remember the help you provided for Anlisa and Lawrence!"

"Can you accept my thanks? I'd like to invite you to lunch with Mr. Black."

"no problem."

Fors blinked at Ember, and then agreed without hesitation. She was worrying about how to spend the time before the boat sailed.

"Wait for me a moment, please."

Dorian politely asked Ember and Forsi to wait in the next lounge, and provided black tea and snacks, as well as newspapers and magazines.

After returning to the office, the gentleman opened a dark cabinet with some doubts and took out an item.

It was a pure crystal ball shining brightly.

Although the family has long since declined under the torture of the curse, and although they have experienced a betrayal that caused heavy losses to the Abrahams, there are still many extraordinary items passed down by them.

Dorian drew the curtains, making the office drowsy, and sat down.

He held the crystal ball in his left hand, touched the top with his right palm, stroked it back and forth, and kept whispering in his mouth, like a whisper.

Gradually, the dots of brilliance in the crystal ball became brighter and more obvious, as if the starry sky cast a reflection at night.

The stars that are often used to determine the direction of fate and the trajectory of life emerge one after another, forming a three-dimensional astrolabe, mixed with many spiritual revelations that seem to be symbols.

Dorian Gray finally stopped his movements and focused his attention.

"Hiding things, but not lying."

Dorian breathed a sigh of relief, at least this can confirm that Ms. Forsi is trustworthy.

He rushed to put the crystal ball back into the dark cabinet, but after a little hesitation, he couldn't help being curious about the identity of Mr. Black beside Ms. Fors.After a moment of hesitation, he stretched out his right hand again and began to stroke the crystal ball.

Gradually, the crystal ball lit up again, and the dots of bright starlight gradually became dazzling.

But in an instant, a faint flame suddenly rose from the starlight.Just in an instant, all the stars were swallowed by the flames, leaving only a dazzling fire in Dorian's realization!

"Ahh-!"

Dorian let out a scream, covered his eyes and curled up on the ground in pain.The crystal ball that was originally supported also lost its support and rolled a few times on the ground until it hit the corner of the table before stopping slightly.

But all the while, the flames in the crystal ball grew stronger and brighter until...

"Snapped!"

The crystal ball seemed to have reached a certain limit, and suddenly exploded with a bang like a glass ball falling to the ground.

"Fire, it's fire..."

Dorian endured the pain and opened his eyes. He saw the exploded crystal ball and the destroyed magical item, but there was no regret in his eyes.On the contrary, apart from the painful convulsions, there seemed to be a trace of ecstasy in his eyes as if he was alive after a catastrophe.

"The prophecy, the prophecy has come true!"

He struggled to support the ground with his hands, got up from the ground with difficulty, and staggered towards the door step by step, trying to find the two guests who were waiting in the lounge.

But when he came to the door, when his hand grasped the doorknob, he hesitated again.

In the end, he didn't open the door.

He rearranged his appearance and changed his clothes to look decent.Finally, he waited hard until lunch time.He immediately walked out the door, ordered the restaurant to prepare delicious food, and at the same time went to the lounge to invite Ember and the two to have lunch—

The reason why he endured the torment in his heart until now is because he wanted to talk about things at the dinner table. It is said that the success rate will be higher this way.

"Ms. Wall."

In the private room of the restaurant, Dorian Gray asked with a smile:

"How do you like the food here?"

"not bad."

Fors replied reservedly.

In front of her mind was a piece of fish that was deep fried and sprinkled with rosemary. Its skin was crispy, the meat was delicious, without spines, and it was quite delicious.The only thing worth complaining about is that the chef's aesthetics are very weird. He actually kept two bulging fish eyes, and relied on the skill of arranging the plate to make them look up at the same time, as if expressing his unwillingness to die.

This forced her to push down the fish's head and cut off the tail to cover the upturned eye.

Dorian Gray glanced at the embers on the side without any trace, and while wielding his knife and fork, he said casually:
"An Lisa likes occultism very much, and she has done some research in this area. When you packed up her belongings, did you see any corresponding books, notes, or items?"

"There are some notes and books."

Forsi's expression moved slightly, without showing any abnormality, and she replied calmly, "I have become a fan of mysticism because of this, but unfortunately, there are some contents that I can't understand at all."

"If that's the case."

Seeing that everything was developing as expected, Dorian said quickly, "Does Ms. Wall know about the Extraordinary mentioned in the book?"

Forsi hesitated for a moment, but still didn't hide a little bit, "I know some, but those are just legends..."

"No!"

Dorian said in a deep voice, "The Extraordinary is real. Anlisa, Lawrence, including me, we are all Extraordinary, and we all belong to a once great family, Abraham!"

"Ms. Wall."

Dorian said very seriously, "Do you want to become a Extraordinary? Just take it as I want to thank you for An Lisa and Lawrence!"

Dorian's expression was extremely sincere, as if he really just wanted to thank Fors, a selfless and dedicated young lady.But if you observe carefully, you will find that although he didn't mention Ember in a word, the afterglow always seems to fall on Ember.

And this, even Forsi can see it!
