Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire
Chapter 124 Only Flame Can Purify the World
Chapter 124 Only Flame Can Purify the World
"Nothing to be diligent about, either a traitor or a thief!"
Inexplicably, the famous words of Emperor Roselle emerged in Forsi's heart, and she was secretly vigilant.
Paying her to thank her sounds reasonable.But Fors thought that the contributions she had made were not enough to make Dorian, a stranger, "pour his heart out" to her.
Mrs. An Lisa led her on the path of the Extraordinary because she took care of Mrs. An Lisa for a long time.And Mr. Lawrence was willing to show her trust and sincerity because he discovered her identity when he was dying, which can be explained.
But Dorian is different, you know they just met for the first time.
"No, no need."
Forsi resolutely refused, considered the words in her heart, and stretched out her right hand hesitantly.She lifted up her cuffs, revealing her white wrists covered by the lotus leaves of the cuffs and a string of silver stone bracelets.
Fors considered her words carefully, and said softly, "This is given to me by Mrs. An Lisa, including her extraordinary characteristics."
Dorian's eyes were a little stunned, and he fell silent immediately.
'Extraordinary characteristics', this kind of word will not be understood if it is not an 'insider'.That is to say, Fors is already a Beyonder, using An Lisa's Extraordinary characteristics and inheriting everything from her.
And Ash Black beside her was also obviously an Extraordinary.
And, definitely a powerful Extraordinary.
But this didn't make Dorian give up, on the contrary, it strengthened the speculation in his heart!
"Ms. Wall."
Dorian took a deep breath and said slowly, "Did An Lisa tell you which family she came from?"
"No."
Fors shook her head lightly, and replied calmly, "Alisa is vaguely dissatisfied with Mr. Laubero's relatives."
Dorian is silent, and Roberto, Anlysa's husband, is also a member of Abraham.
"Ms. Wall."
Dorian raised his head and said sincerely, "Would you like to hear me tell a story?"
"..."
Fors remained silent for a long time, subconsciously looking at the embers beside her.
Ember saw what the girl was thinking, and said slowly, "I just came with you."
"Hmm~"
Forsi puffed up her face. Isn't this just kicking the ball back to her again?
"Very well, Mr. Dorian."
Fore thought for a while, and said helplessly, "But this story, can you please tell it as briefly as possible?"
"of course."
Dorian breathed a sigh of relief, he opened his mouth but made no sound, as if he didn't know where to start.
But after hesitating for a long time, he still spoke slowly:
"During the Solomon Empire in the Fourth Epoch, there used to be an extremely brilliant Abraham family."
"That is a powerful angel family that can be compared with the Solomon family at that time and the Tudor family who later ruled the Tudor kingdom."
"And during the subsequent Tudor dynasty, the Abraham family was also one of the five great angel families alongside Amon, Antigonus, Jacob, and Tamara. Yes, just as you imagined. This family used to have angels , more than one."
Dorian said, paused for a moment, and explained solemnly.
"No, actually, I already knew."
Forsi murmured something in her heart, but she showed a surprised expression on her face.
After all, it was Ember who told her all this, and neither Mrs. Anliza nor Mr. Lawrence had ever told her about it.Well, of course, the history told by Ember inevitably lacks details, not as exhaustive as Dorian's.
"But one day, the ancestor of the Abraham family suddenly disappeared."
"After that, all family members were burdened with an unknown curse. This curse made Abrahams far more likely to lose control than ordinary Extraordinary, and it also made it almost impossible for them to become powerful Extraordinary."
"The originally powerful Angel family fell apart in an instant."
Forsi listened carefully, nodding from time to time, while slandering from the bottom of her heart:
"The next step is betrayal, right?"
What followed was nothing more than the betrayal of the Abrahams by their apprentices, and the loss of the family.She had heard the story, although it was indeed a tragedy.But the more times I listen to it, the original sensibility will be lost.Even Forsi used to think about writing this experience into a book——
For example, Miss Sissy, the heroine, taught an excellent apprentice, but in the end the apprentice chose to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors.
However, beyond Forsi's expectation, the story Dorian told next was completely beyond Forsi's expectation.
Dorian's complexion suddenly became serious, his voice was ethereal and resonant, as if he was telling an epic:
"When the curse was spreading in the family, there were still a few surviving demigods in the family. They were all Beyonders above Sequence 4. In order to prevent the spread of the curse, they tried various methods, but in the end they all ended in failure. .”
"Gradually, even these demigods died one by one in the constant rush. At that time, the Abrahams were most desperate. When all the demigods die, no one will be able to protect this former angel family."
"But at this most desperate time, the Abrahams saw hope!"
"hope?"
Forsi blinked her eyes, and her mood was also affected.
Because this part of the story has not been told by Ember, or even Ember does not know.
"Yes, hope!"
Dorian looked serious, took a deep breath and said, "At the most desperate moment, the Abrahams got a prophecy:"
"Only the flame and the fool can save Abraham!"
"The Fool and the Flame..."
Forsi's expression suddenly became tense. She was neither an audience nor a clown, so she could only lower her head to cover up her emotional changes.She didn't want others to know that she would meet Mr. Fool at Tarot every Monday.
So, the reason why Dorian said these words was because he knew that he and Ember were 'believing' in Mister Fool?
"Yes, Flame and the Fool."
Dorian nodded solemnly, and nodded calmly, but at the end he laughed at himself, "But in the family, many people have given up on this prophecy, thinking that it is just used to fool future generations. The last demigod of the family sacrificed In their eyes, the prophecy in exchange for life is only used to fool them, isn't it ridiculous?"
"That is to say, Mr. Dorian, you always believe in this prophecy?"
Fors hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively.
"of course."
Dorian readily admitted his identity as Abraham, and said sternly, "I have always believed in the prophecy that my ancestors exchanged their lives for. Only flames and fools can save Abraham!"
Forsi felt her mind was in a mess, and asked hesitantly, "So... Mr. Dorian, do you think we are related to the Fool?"
She didn't know what the flame was, but she knew about 'The Fool', and subconsciously thought that what the other party was pointing at was Mister Fool.
"Do not."
Dorian shook his head and said, "On the contrary, the Abrahams knew who the Fool was, and that was the apex of the 'Divist' approach mastered by the Antigonus family. However, just like our ancestors, Antigonus The ancestors of the Si family have also disappeared long ago."
"The Fool is illusory. For us, the flame is the only salvation! But for thousands of years, we have never found any clues or information related to the 'flame'. It seems that this is just an illusory dream! "
"until today."
Dorian suddenly changed the topic, with a look of fanaticism in his eyes.
"today?"
Fors immediately realized that he was referring to the arrival of the two of them, but she definitely had nothing to do with the so-called flames.Combined with Dorian's speaking, he glanced at Ember from time to time, and the answer was ready:
The so-called flames point to embers!
Fors raised her head to look at the embers, but found that he was looking at the somewhat fanatical Dorian expressionlessly, and said calmly:
"So, you want me to help you? Or, help Abraham?"
"Yes!"
Dorian nodded without hesitation, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what relationship you have with the flame, Mr. Black, but for thousands of years, you are the only person I have met who can solve the curse we bear .”
"Then how can you be sure?"
Forsi suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, and asked back.
"I am a Sequence 7 astrologer with the ability to divination and prophecy. And."
Dorian paused for a moment, looked at Forsi, and suddenly smiled, "Ms. Wall, you have confirmed my guess, haven't you? You are also cursed because of using that bracelet." trouble."
"It's Mr. Black, solve, at least suppress your curse, isn't it?"
"What curse?"
Facing Dorian's inquiry, Fors tried her best to control her expression, and asked a question back.
It's a pity, although she has tried her best not to show her flaws.But after all, she is just a master of tricks, unable to perform as invisible as the audience and the clown.
Dorian laughed dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "Miss Wall, maybe you lack talent in acting."
"I……"
Fore wanted to refute, but was soon discouraged and curled his lips.
Dorian looked at Ember with hope again, hoping to get his answer.
"I can help you."
Ember tapped the table lightly with her fingers, and said slowly, "But the question is, what kind of reward can you pay?"
"Any pay!"
Hearing these words, Dorian not only didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but replied without the slightest hesitation: "As long as you are willing to help, Abraham can pay any price!"
Ember pondered for two seconds, but said calmly, "If that's the case, I can try."
He originally needed to obtain potion formulas above Sequence 5 from Abraham, and it wasn't even just potion formulas.This kind of family that has been passed down for thousands of years, even though it has now declined, has a rich foundation, otherwise it would not be able to continue to this day.
Maybe there are not only potion formulas in the 'family treasure house', but also the corresponding main ingredients——
Otherwise, they would not be able to train so many apprentices in a short period of time.
Unfortunately, these apprentices eventually betrayed the Abrahams.
"it is good!"
Seeing that Ember finally nodded, Dorian's face was filled with ecstasy, and his voice seemed to tremble a little, "If possible, I want to contact other members of the family right now. At least let them meet Mr. Black one side."
"can."
Ember nodded slightly, and Dorian who got the answer seemed to be in a hurry to enter the bridal chamber, pleaded guilty and hurriedly left the private room.
"ember."
Fors turned the grilled fish on the plate with a fork absent-mindedly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to promise him?"
"It's not bad anyway, is it?"
Ember nodded and said with a smile.
"That's what I said..."
Fors hesitated, and said hesitantly, "But if that's the case, wouldn't it be impossible to return to Backlund tonight? Well, should I send Xio a telegram in advance?"
"Don't be so troublesome."
Ember shook her head, and said indifferently under the girl's puzzled expression, "You can totally pray to 'The Fool' and ask him to help convey the message, can't you?"
"..."
Fors opened her mouth, she hesitated to speak, and then she wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.
Is this how Mister Fool uses it? !That is a god who is recovering!And according to Mr. Dorian, this Mr. Fool might be the ancestor of that Antigonus family.
"Don't have too much psychological burden."
Ember seemed to see through Forsi's thoughts at a glance, and said leisurely, "You can tell Mister Fool about the conversation you just had with Dorian, after all, this information must be of great value to Mister Fool. And as a reward, it’s not too much to ask him to speak on his behalf, is it?”
Fors hesitated for two seconds, her expression was a little loose, as if she was persuaded by Ember.
In the end, the girl nodded silently, tidied up a bit and then recited in a low voice:
"A fool who does not belong to this age;"
"The mysterious ruler above the gray mist;"
"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."
"I want to pray to you and state what happened to me today..."
……
Backlund, in the cafeteria of the Kragg Club.
Klein was picking up meals with Dr. Allen and others, not because he wanted to save money on a meal, but simply because he happened to pass by the Kragg Club today.Come here, don't eat for nothing, don't you?
But at this moment, he heard phantom pleading voices again, vaguely coming from a woman.
Klein's expression moved slightly, but he continued to take the food calmly, and found a place to sit down with Dr. Allen.
After putting down the dinner plate, Klein quickly said:
"I'm going to the bathroom."
"Um?
Dr. Allen looked at Klein with some surprise and strangeness, but Klein turned around and strode towards the bathroom long after he finished speaking, not paying attention to Dr. Allen's eyes at all.
After entering the bathroom, Klein locked the door behind him, and skillfully walked four steps backwards into the gray mist.
Looking at the ever-expanding and shrinking crimson stars, he spread his spirituality and chose to listen.
"Dorian Gray, the Abraham family..."
"Abrahams are burdened with curses, half-god prophecies, only flames and fools can save Abraham."
"The apex of the Seer's path is the Fool, and the Abrahams suspect that the 'Fool' is the ancestor of the Antigonus family..."
Klein was confused at first, but soon changed color because of Forsi's information. Even the ability of the clown made him almost unable to control his expression.
One by one, the thunder exploded in Klein's mind, causing him to be in a state of confusion and feel like he was destined again:
"I'm so stupid, really!"
"I only knew that the sequence mastered by the Antigonus family was the Seer path, but I never thought that the 'Sequence 0' of the Seer path might be the 'Fool'."
"The notes that let the original owner die and indirectly help me travel through come from the Antigonus family who have mastered the way of the Seer."
"It was Emperor Roselle's diary that made me choose the fortune teller potion."
"And why do I call myself 'The Fool'? Is it because of the fortune teller?"
"But if the 'fool' of the Antigonus family is still alive, isn't what I'm doing now occupying the magpie's nest?"
At this moment, Klein's emotions were extremely complicated, as if two villains were fighting in his heart.
One said: You are finished, once the Fool returns, you will be the first to be liquidated!
Another said: Impossible, he is already dead, I am the real 'fool'!
He tried his best to recall the face of the fortune-teller back then, but found that he couldn't remember anything.
He remembered that he met her in front of a low tent, that she was wearing a pointed hat and a long black dress, her face was smeared with red and yellow oil paint, and her eyes were deep gray and blue.I remember that when she was halfway through the interpretation, she was driven away by a real fortune-teller, and she was actually just a beast trainer who was fortune-telling for herself.
But what about face?
What does she look like?
"It's almost like fate has woven a snare that makes you breathless!"
"And behind all this, what is hidden?"
Klein rubbed his temples, trying to calm his mind, and at the same time pulled Miss Magician above the gray mist.
Suddenly, Forsi opened her eyes, and saw the boundless gray mist below her, she saw towering stone pillars, she saw the majestic palace supported by the stone pillars, and there was an old mottled bronze long table in front of her. .
And at the top of the long bronze table, there is a mysterious and abnormal figure that seems to be looking down on everything, wrapped in thick gray mist.
Forsi half stood up and bowed, respectfully said:
"Mr. Fool."
'The Fool' Klein nodded with a smile and said:
"Your information is very valuable, what kind of compensation do you need?"
"No, no payment is required."
Forsi waved her hand, thought for a while and said in a low voice:
"Mr. Fool, if possible, I hope you can help convey to... Miss Judgment that we may not be able to return to Backlund in a short time."
After speaking, Fors seemed a little nervous again.
This is Mister Fool, is it really okay to bother him with such a trivial matter?
"This is really good!"
Klein couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Fors would make a request that he couldn't fulfill.It's just such a small matter of spreading the word, it couldn't be easier.
But on the surface, the Fool's 'coldness' is still necessary, Klein just smiled and nodded:
"can."
"Thank you for your generosity."
Forsi breathed a sigh of relief, but hesitated for a moment, and then asked hesitantly, "Mr. Fool, I have a question..."
Fors raised her head to look at 'The Fool', and found that 'The Fool' was looking at her encouragingly, so she plucked up her courage and said:
"I want to know, Mr. 'Lover' what does he have to do with Flame?"
Ember didn't let her ask this question, but Forsi still asked out of her own will.
"Good question."
Klein raised his eyebrows slightly, quite satisfied with Forsi's question, he actually wanted to answer this question a long time ago.
Klein raised his finger and pointed somewhere.
Forsi looked in the direction Mr. Fool pointed, and the gray mist flowed like water, dotted with crimson illusory "stars" one after another.Some of them are big, some are small, some are hidden in the depths, and some are floating on the surface.
"This is you."
Klein pointed to one of the bright red stars and said.
"I?"
Fors was a little stunned, but Klein quickly pointed to other stars:
"This is Miss Judge."
"This is Miss Justice."
"This is Mr. Hanged Man..."
Klein introduced a few stars, but Fors suddenly felt uneasy, because Mister Fool did not introduce 'lover'!
But soon, after introducing the other members, Klein finally pointed somewhere, and said slowly:
"That's a lover."
Forsi looked in the direction the fool pointed, and finally found a red star that was much bigger than the other stars.
"Is this embers?"
Forsi thought subconsciously, but soon she realized her mistake.
Because when she observed carefully, she discovered that behind the red star, there was actually a small cluster of flames hidden!
The flame was small and glowed bright yellow.
But its radiance is too weak, overlapping with those crimson stars, the faint radiance is almost imperceptible.If Mister Fool hadn't pointed it out to her, she would never have noticed the existence of that small cluster of flames!
Forsi was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "The flames, are they embers?"
"Yes."
Mister Fool nodded slightly, and sighed leisurely:
"The flame is his past, and it is also a curse. But no matter what it is, it has long been integrated with him."
If Miss Fors hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that what represented the embers was a cluster of flames.And this small cluster of flames can actually confirm some of his guesses——
The embers must be one of usurping the fire or taking the fire, otherwise it is impossible to explain why it is a cluster of flames that represent his 'soul'!
But this made Klein even more strange.
How can a person who can do such outrageous things as usurping fire or seizing fire think about spreading fire all day long?
Is this beaver?
But, 'only the fire and the fool can save Abraham'?
There seems to be no problem with these words, after all, the curse of the Abraham family is the raving of the full moon.
And the embers of this problem can completely be solved for the Abraham family, which has been well reflected in Forsi.As for fools...
"Hey, wait, it seems that I can do this kind of thing too?"
Klein's expression suddenly became strange. Thinking about it carefully, is there a possibility that he can solve their curse?
As long as the family of Abraham recites his name, he can give him shelter on the night of the full moon.
So what the fool was pointing at seemed to be pointing at himself?
Is this prophecy so accurate?
Klein showed a gratified smile, which means that I am the only fool, which is a good thing.
But then, without knowing what he thought of, Klein's expression suddenly became stiff.
If, he meant if, if he came forward to help the Abraham family, what would he get?
First of all, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Since the Abraham family was once an angel family, it has at least one Sequence 2 or even a Sequence 1 Extraordinary.Even if such a family has declined, even if it has been betrayed, its background is by no means comparable to that of ordinary secret organizations.
If the 'Fool' successfully helped them, he would definitely gain Abraham's friendship and even turn them into his followers.Then when he, the 'god', sent his favored ones to ask his followers for extraordinary materials or potion formulas, would they still refuse to give them?If he could subdue this family with an ancient heritage but already in decline, wouldn't it mean that his future path would be smooth? !
And doesn't this also mean that he has missed a good opportunity again? !
Thinking of the reward Ember might get, a stiff smile appeared on the face of 'The Fool'.
No, not bad.
At least when Ember gets these, he shouldn't be stingy selling these things to 'The World' or 'Klein'.Rounding up, doesn't this mean there is no difference?
Well, there is only a small price to pay, which is gold pounds.
Moreover, it may not be a good thing for all the Abrahams to believe in me.For example, let's say I can't respond to them one by one, and I can't ensure shelter for everyone. I'm not spiritual enough to support me to do this, so it's a good thing!
Well, that's right, that's it!
Klein kept enlightening and comforting himself from the bottom of his heart, trying to convince himself that his heart was shouting 'I'm so sour! ' mind.
……
"What did 'The Fool' say?"
In the box of the restaurant, Ember looked at the girl who seemed to have not recovered and asked.
"Mr. Fool agreed."
Fors didn't look at him, but looked down at the plate on the table, stuffed a piece of fried fish steak into her mouth as if she was very hungry, and said vaguely, "So, don't you want it next time?" Let me do this kind of thing again. Don't you think it's too much to use Mister Fool as a microphone?"
Ember shrugged, but didn't reply.
He also lowered his head to look at the fried fish steak on the dinner plate. The two bulging fish eyes on the fish head were looking at the embers at the same time, as if expressing his unwillingness to die.Rao Ember also felt some physical discomfort, so he stuck the fish head and threw it into the trash can.
"Boom!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
After getting a response from the box, Dorian pushed the door open and entered.His expression no longer looked as sad as before, it seemed that he had relaxed a lot because he had let go of a lot of burdens.
Dorian showed a smile on his face and said:
"I have sent a telegram to other members of the family, and someone has responded. According to the agreement, we will meet up in Disey County in a few days."
Afraid that Ember would find it troublesome, Dorian immediately explained, "Mr. Black, it will take nearly three days to travel from Pritz Harbor to Disey County, even by steam train."
Ember didn't show the impatient look as Dorian imagined, but asked calmly:
"When to set off?"
"how about tomorrow?"
Dorian asked cautiously, "I still need to wait for the reply from other family members, so it's best to wait until tomorrow morning before taking a cruise or steam train to Disey County."
Forsi wondered, "Wouldn't it be that we have to stay in Pritz Harbor for a day? Then we have to find a hotel in the afternoon..."
"That's not necessary."
Dorian smiled and said, "I have a villa on the outskirts of Pritz Harbor. Although I don't live there, I have hired maids to clean it all the time. If you don't mind, you can go there to rest tonight .”
"..."
Fors doesn't want to talk, should it be said that it is an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years?Even if it has declined, the wealth it possesses is still an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
The villa was bought but not lived in, and a maid was hired to clean it. It was like buying a villa specially for the maid and paying her wages.
"Yes, and this one."
Dorian seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly took out a notebook.
"This is……"
Fors glanced at it. It was the notebook Mr. Lawrence gave her.
Dorian stroked the cover of the note and said softly:
"It's called Lymanor's Travel Notebook, but we prefer to call it Lymanor's Magic Book."
"This magic book allows you to record a certain extraordinary ability while seeing it."
"This will be fixed on one of the pages of the note and stored for a long time. You can use it whenever you need it. But after using it once, the corresponding page will become blank again, waiting for you to record again."
"shepherd?"
Ember asked thoughtfully.
"very similar."
Dorian nodded and explained, "This corresponds to the extraordinary ability of the Sequence 6 'Recorder' of our Apprentice Path, which can even be said to be stronger than the 'Shepherd' to a certain extent! Because the Shepherd can only drive One soul, but the Recorder can use multiple abilities at the same time!"
Ember was noncommittal, neither refuting nor affirming.
Although Dorian came from an ancient family and possessed many secrets, since he only had Sequence 7, many things could not be imagined even after seeing the description.And because he is taking the apprenticeship path, coupled with the past glory of the Abraham family, there will naturally be an illusion of "my path is the best in the world".
But in fact, the recorder and the shepherd can only say that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The former can use multiple abilities at the same time, but each can only be used once, and the number is limited.
Although the latter needs to switch the driving soul to display the extraordinary ability corresponding to the soul, but this process can be changed instantly and the shepherd can also drive the soul of the "recorder", such as Mr. A.
"It can record 3 demigod-level extraordinary abilities, 10 extraordinary abilities of sequence 5 and sequence 6, and 25 extraordinary abilities below sequence 6. However, the higher the sequence, the greater the chance of failure, so it often takes several It takes one or even a dozen times to succeed."
"And the higher the sequence, the worse the effect. Sequence 4 and above may only have half of the original, and even sequence 5 may only have 80% of the original."
"Besides, it has powerful negative effects just like other magical items. Every time you use it, it will make you lose your way, encounter various dangers, and even lose your life! You must Draw your own blood after use and spread it evenly on the cover to eliminate this effect."
Forsi nodded again and again, but at the end she was a little puzzled and said:
"Mr. Dorian, why are you telling us this?"
"Abraham repays his kindness."
Dorian seemed to have expected her to ask such a question. He smiled and handed the note to Forsi, and said seriously, "Whether you can solve the curse we bear, this note will be your compensation for your effort!"
"Compensation? It's really courageous."
Fors took the note and sighed softly in her heart.
To prostitute a magical item without doing anything, the Abraham family is really rich.But Mr. Dorian did this to prove to them that the Abraham family can really pay enough, right?
But is this really necessary?
It was just a prophecy that had never been proven. They couldn't even determine Ember's identity, but they were willing to pay such a high price.Are you really convinced of that so-called prophecy?Or because of 'emergency medical treatment'?Or is it another reason?
Forsi handed the note to Ember, looking at Ember's profile, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.
After all, what exactly is 'flame'?What is the relationship between embers and flames?Was the reason why he didn't have a heartbeat also related to the flames?
Seeing Ember and the two accepting this magical item, Dorian heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"I still have some things to deal with, so I won't disturb your meal. If you need extra meals, you can ask Chef Sergey in the kitchen. If you need to find me, I will be upstairs in the study."
"By the way, here is the address and key of the villa."
Dorian put a note and key on the table, then stepped back and left the box, and even closed the door intimately.
"Isn't he worried that we took our things and ran away?"
Forsi complained, but turned her head to find that Ember was holding a note in a daze, she couldn't help but asked in a low voice with some doubts, "What are you thinking?"
Ember pondered for two seconds, then suddenly asked:
"I was thinking, is this notebook only able to record extraordinary abilities?"
Fors froze for a moment, unable to react for a while, and asked instinctively:
"What else is there besides extraordinary ability?"
Ember thought for a while, then seriously replied: "Magic, spells, miracles, um, there are also combat skills, prayers..."
"..."
Forsi hesitated to speak, are you sure you are not talking about the same thing?In other words, these should all be categorized as Extraordinary abilities, right?What is the difference?
……
Dorian left the restaurant, returned to the office on the second floor, and closed the door.The office had drawn the curtains at some point, making the room extremely dim.And Dorian was obviously used to all this, he just walked silently behind the desk and sat down.
Woo!
There was a sudden wind blowing in the office, with a weeping trill.
Circles of light quickly swung away, seemingly forming a door beyond the normal concept.
A half-illusory and half-real spherical thing flew out from the "bottom" of the aperture. It was milky white in color, with no eyes, nose, arms, legs or other things around it. There was only a crack on the surface that looked like a mouth.
Dorian showed an obvious smile, opened his mouth, and softly hummed a lullaby with a folk flavor.
The 'ball' suddenly swayed from side to side, looking extremely comfortable.
After humming the song, Dorian stretched out his hand.
The 'ball' jumped up and down, its body swelled suddenly, and its 'mouth' opened wide.
Then, it spit out a letter.
"Well done, Malmus."
Dorian accepted the letter and praised 'Ball' at the same time, making 'Ball' sway happily again.It's just that when Dorian opened the letter and quickly scanned it with great anticipation, his eyes became disappointed and lonely at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He lied, not like what he said in front of Ember that he had a family. He responded, and agreed to meet in Dixi County in a few days.
In fact, he didn't use telegrams to communicate with other people, but a 'messenger' that was relatively rare even among Extraordinary people.
The messenger allows him to communicate with Abraham family members living all over the world in a faster and more convenient way, and can ensure that the letter is received by them personally.
But unfortunately, among all the people he contacted, not even a single person gave an encouraging and supportive reply!
Dorian's face was full of bitterness. After thousands of years passed, the people in the Abraham family who were always willing to believe in the prophecy were after all a minority.Especially after experiencing that betrayal, their vigilance and rejection of outsiders have also increased day by day.
The reason why he said that he would meet up in Dixi County in four days was actually just a way to delay the troops.
He hoped that he could write letters to as many family members as possible within these four days, and persuade them as much as possible.Although he doesn't know exactly how many people will go, but no matter what, this is a hope after all.Even if this hope is incomparably ethereal and illusory, even if it seems as far away as a mirror image.
But no matter what, only by stretching out one's hand can one grasp the fleeting miracle!
"But is it all worth it?"
Dorian sat at the table, looked at the last sentence of the letter, grasped the edge of the letter paper with his pinched white fingers, and remained silent for a long time.But in the end, it all just turned into a long sigh.But his eyes became more determined than ever at this moment.
He picked up his pen and took out a clean letterhead.
"worth!"
"Nothing is more worth fighting for! My parents, my brothers, my sisters, my children, and thousands of years ago, countless ancestors, too many people paid with their lives because of the curse cost!"
"If there is hope in my generation that the curse can be lifted, then why should we not do it?!"
"Even if it's not for ourselves, we have to do it for our children... for your children, at least work hard, don't we?"
Dorian folded the letterhead and handed it to his courier Malmus, and then he took out another clean letterhead.The members of the Abraham family are scattered all over the world, and Dorian needs to use different tones for different people.
But this time, there was only a short sentence in his pen:
"Make Abraham great again!"
PS: Potential masterpiece, worth watching, push it again
(End of this chapter)
"Nothing to be diligent about, either a traitor or a thief!"
Inexplicably, the famous words of Emperor Roselle emerged in Forsi's heart, and she was secretly vigilant.
Paying her to thank her sounds reasonable.But Fors thought that the contributions she had made were not enough to make Dorian, a stranger, "pour his heart out" to her.
Mrs. An Lisa led her on the path of the Extraordinary because she took care of Mrs. An Lisa for a long time.And Mr. Lawrence was willing to show her trust and sincerity because he discovered her identity when he was dying, which can be explained.
But Dorian is different, you know they just met for the first time.
"No, no need."
Forsi resolutely refused, considered the words in her heart, and stretched out her right hand hesitantly.She lifted up her cuffs, revealing her white wrists covered by the lotus leaves of the cuffs and a string of silver stone bracelets.
Fors considered her words carefully, and said softly, "This is given to me by Mrs. An Lisa, including her extraordinary characteristics."
Dorian's eyes were a little stunned, and he fell silent immediately.
'Extraordinary characteristics', this kind of word will not be understood if it is not an 'insider'.That is to say, Fors is already a Beyonder, using An Lisa's Extraordinary characteristics and inheriting everything from her.
And Ash Black beside her was also obviously an Extraordinary.
And, definitely a powerful Extraordinary.
But this didn't make Dorian give up, on the contrary, it strengthened the speculation in his heart!
"Ms. Wall."
Dorian took a deep breath and said slowly, "Did An Lisa tell you which family she came from?"
"No."
Fors shook her head lightly, and replied calmly, "Alisa is vaguely dissatisfied with Mr. Laubero's relatives."
Dorian is silent, and Roberto, Anlysa's husband, is also a member of Abraham.
"Ms. Wall."
Dorian raised his head and said sincerely, "Would you like to hear me tell a story?"
"..."
Fors remained silent for a long time, subconsciously looking at the embers beside her.
Ember saw what the girl was thinking, and said slowly, "I just came with you."
"Hmm~"
Forsi puffed up her face. Isn't this just kicking the ball back to her again?
"Very well, Mr. Dorian."
Fore thought for a while, and said helplessly, "But this story, can you please tell it as briefly as possible?"
"of course."
Dorian breathed a sigh of relief, he opened his mouth but made no sound, as if he didn't know where to start.
But after hesitating for a long time, he still spoke slowly:
"During the Solomon Empire in the Fourth Epoch, there used to be an extremely brilliant Abraham family."
"That is a powerful angel family that can be compared with the Solomon family at that time and the Tudor family who later ruled the Tudor kingdom."
"And during the subsequent Tudor dynasty, the Abraham family was also one of the five great angel families alongside Amon, Antigonus, Jacob, and Tamara. Yes, just as you imagined. This family used to have angels , more than one."
Dorian said, paused for a moment, and explained solemnly.
"No, actually, I already knew."
Forsi murmured something in her heart, but she showed a surprised expression on her face.
After all, it was Ember who told her all this, and neither Mrs. Anliza nor Mr. Lawrence had ever told her about it.Well, of course, the history told by Ember inevitably lacks details, not as exhaustive as Dorian's.
"But one day, the ancestor of the Abraham family suddenly disappeared."
"After that, all family members were burdened with an unknown curse. This curse made Abrahams far more likely to lose control than ordinary Extraordinary, and it also made it almost impossible for them to become powerful Extraordinary."
"The originally powerful Angel family fell apart in an instant."
Forsi listened carefully, nodding from time to time, while slandering from the bottom of her heart:
"The next step is betrayal, right?"
What followed was nothing more than the betrayal of the Abrahams by their apprentices, and the loss of the family.She had heard the story, although it was indeed a tragedy.But the more times I listen to it, the original sensibility will be lost.Even Forsi used to think about writing this experience into a book——
For example, Miss Sissy, the heroine, taught an excellent apprentice, but in the end the apprentice chose to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors.
However, beyond Forsi's expectation, the story Dorian told next was completely beyond Forsi's expectation.
Dorian's complexion suddenly became serious, his voice was ethereal and resonant, as if he was telling an epic:
"When the curse was spreading in the family, there were still a few surviving demigods in the family. They were all Beyonders above Sequence 4. In order to prevent the spread of the curse, they tried various methods, but in the end they all ended in failure. .”
"Gradually, even these demigods died one by one in the constant rush. At that time, the Abrahams were most desperate. When all the demigods die, no one will be able to protect this former angel family."
"But at this most desperate time, the Abrahams saw hope!"
"hope?"
Forsi blinked her eyes, and her mood was also affected.
Because this part of the story has not been told by Ember, or even Ember does not know.
"Yes, hope!"
Dorian looked serious, took a deep breath and said, "At the most desperate moment, the Abrahams got a prophecy:"
"Only the flame and the fool can save Abraham!"
"The Fool and the Flame..."
Forsi's expression suddenly became tense. She was neither an audience nor a clown, so she could only lower her head to cover up her emotional changes.She didn't want others to know that she would meet Mr. Fool at Tarot every Monday.
So, the reason why Dorian said these words was because he knew that he and Ember were 'believing' in Mister Fool?
"Yes, Flame and the Fool."
Dorian nodded solemnly, and nodded calmly, but at the end he laughed at himself, "But in the family, many people have given up on this prophecy, thinking that it is just used to fool future generations. The last demigod of the family sacrificed In their eyes, the prophecy in exchange for life is only used to fool them, isn't it ridiculous?"
"That is to say, Mr. Dorian, you always believe in this prophecy?"
Fors hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively.
"of course."
Dorian readily admitted his identity as Abraham, and said sternly, "I have always believed in the prophecy that my ancestors exchanged their lives for. Only flames and fools can save Abraham!"
Forsi felt her mind was in a mess, and asked hesitantly, "So... Mr. Dorian, do you think we are related to the Fool?"
She didn't know what the flame was, but she knew about 'The Fool', and subconsciously thought that what the other party was pointing at was Mister Fool.
"Do not."
Dorian shook his head and said, "On the contrary, the Abrahams knew who the Fool was, and that was the apex of the 'Divist' approach mastered by the Antigonus family. However, just like our ancestors, Antigonus The ancestors of the Si family have also disappeared long ago."
"The Fool is illusory. For us, the flame is the only salvation! But for thousands of years, we have never found any clues or information related to the 'flame'. It seems that this is just an illusory dream! "
"until today."
Dorian suddenly changed the topic, with a look of fanaticism in his eyes.
"today?"
Fors immediately realized that he was referring to the arrival of the two of them, but she definitely had nothing to do with the so-called flames.Combined with Dorian's speaking, he glanced at Ember from time to time, and the answer was ready:
The so-called flames point to embers!
Fors raised her head to look at the embers, but found that he was looking at the somewhat fanatical Dorian expressionlessly, and said calmly:
"So, you want me to help you? Or, help Abraham?"
"Yes!"
Dorian nodded without hesitation, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what relationship you have with the flame, Mr. Black, but for thousands of years, you are the only person I have met who can solve the curse we bear .”
"Then how can you be sure?"
Forsi suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, and asked back.
"I am a Sequence 7 astrologer with the ability to divination and prophecy. And."
Dorian paused for a moment, looked at Forsi, and suddenly smiled, "Ms. Wall, you have confirmed my guess, haven't you? You are also cursed because of using that bracelet." trouble."
"It's Mr. Black, solve, at least suppress your curse, isn't it?"
"What curse?"
Facing Dorian's inquiry, Fors tried her best to control her expression, and asked a question back.
It's a pity, although she has tried her best not to show her flaws.But after all, she is just a master of tricks, unable to perform as invisible as the audience and the clown.
Dorian laughed dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "Miss Wall, maybe you lack talent in acting."
"I……"
Fore wanted to refute, but was soon discouraged and curled his lips.
Dorian looked at Ember with hope again, hoping to get his answer.
"I can help you."
Ember tapped the table lightly with her fingers, and said slowly, "But the question is, what kind of reward can you pay?"
"Any pay!"
Hearing these words, Dorian not only didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but replied without the slightest hesitation: "As long as you are willing to help, Abraham can pay any price!"
Ember pondered for two seconds, but said calmly, "If that's the case, I can try."
He originally needed to obtain potion formulas above Sequence 5 from Abraham, and it wasn't even just potion formulas.This kind of family that has been passed down for thousands of years, even though it has now declined, has a rich foundation, otherwise it would not be able to continue to this day.
Maybe there are not only potion formulas in the 'family treasure house', but also the corresponding main ingredients——
Otherwise, they would not be able to train so many apprentices in a short period of time.
Unfortunately, these apprentices eventually betrayed the Abrahams.
"it is good!"
Seeing that Ember finally nodded, Dorian's face was filled with ecstasy, and his voice seemed to tremble a little, "If possible, I want to contact other members of the family right now. At least let them meet Mr. Black one side."
"can."
Ember nodded slightly, and Dorian who got the answer seemed to be in a hurry to enter the bridal chamber, pleaded guilty and hurriedly left the private room.
"ember."
Fors turned the grilled fish on the plate with a fork absent-mindedly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to promise him?"
"It's not bad anyway, is it?"
Ember nodded and said with a smile.
"That's what I said..."
Fors hesitated, and said hesitantly, "But if that's the case, wouldn't it be impossible to return to Backlund tonight? Well, should I send Xio a telegram in advance?"
"Don't be so troublesome."
Ember shook her head, and said indifferently under the girl's puzzled expression, "You can totally pray to 'The Fool' and ask him to help convey the message, can't you?"
"..."
Fors opened her mouth, she hesitated to speak, and then she wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.
Is this how Mister Fool uses it? !That is a god who is recovering!And according to Mr. Dorian, this Mr. Fool might be the ancestor of that Antigonus family.
"Don't have too much psychological burden."
Ember seemed to see through Forsi's thoughts at a glance, and said leisurely, "You can tell Mister Fool about the conversation you just had with Dorian, after all, this information must be of great value to Mister Fool. And as a reward, it’s not too much to ask him to speak on his behalf, is it?”
Fors hesitated for two seconds, her expression was a little loose, as if she was persuaded by Ember.
In the end, the girl nodded silently, tidied up a bit and then recited in a low voice:
"A fool who does not belong to this age;"
"The mysterious ruler above the gray mist;"
"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."
"I want to pray to you and state what happened to me today..."
……
Backlund, in the cafeteria of the Kragg Club.
Klein was picking up meals with Dr. Allen and others, not because he wanted to save money on a meal, but simply because he happened to pass by the Kragg Club today.Come here, don't eat for nothing, don't you?
But at this moment, he heard phantom pleading voices again, vaguely coming from a woman.
Klein's expression moved slightly, but he continued to take the food calmly, and found a place to sit down with Dr. Allen.
After putting down the dinner plate, Klein quickly said:
"I'm going to the bathroom."
"Um?
Dr. Allen looked at Klein with some surprise and strangeness, but Klein turned around and strode towards the bathroom long after he finished speaking, not paying attention to Dr. Allen's eyes at all.
After entering the bathroom, Klein locked the door behind him, and skillfully walked four steps backwards into the gray mist.
Looking at the ever-expanding and shrinking crimson stars, he spread his spirituality and chose to listen.
"Dorian Gray, the Abraham family..."
"Abrahams are burdened with curses, half-god prophecies, only flames and fools can save Abraham."
"The apex of the Seer's path is the Fool, and the Abrahams suspect that the 'Fool' is the ancestor of the Antigonus family..."
Klein was confused at first, but soon changed color because of Forsi's information. Even the ability of the clown made him almost unable to control his expression.
One by one, the thunder exploded in Klein's mind, causing him to be in a state of confusion and feel like he was destined again:
"I'm so stupid, really!"
"I only knew that the sequence mastered by the Antigonus family was the Seer path, but I never thought that the 'Sequence 0' of the Seer path might be the 'Fool'."
"The notes that let the original owner die and indirectly help me travel through come from the Antigonus family who have mastered the way of the Seer."
"It was Emperor Roselle's diary that made me choose the fortune teller potion."
"And why do I call myself 'The Fool'? Is it because of the fortune teller?"
"But if the 'fool' of the Antigonus family is still alive, isn't what I'm doing now occupying the magpie's nest?"
At this moment, Klein's emotions were extremely complicated, as if two villains were fighting in his heart.
One said: You are finished, once the Fool returns, you will be the first to be liquidated!
Another said: Impossible, he is already dead, I am the real 'fool'!
He tried his best to recall the face of the fortune-teller back then, but found that he couldn't remember anything.
He remembered that he met her in front of a low tent, that she was wearing a pointed hat and a long black dress, her face was smeared with red and yellow oil paint, and her eyes were deep gray and blue.I remember that when she was halfway through the interpretation, she was driven away by a real fortune-teller, and she was actually just a beast trainer who was fortune-telling for herself.
But what about face?
What does she look like?
"It's almost like fate has woven a snare that makes you breathless!"
"And behind all this, what is hidden?"
Klein rubbed his temples, trying to calm his mind, and at the same time pulled Miss Magician above the gray mist.
Suddenly, Forsi opened her eyes, and saw the boundless gray mist below her, she saw towering stone pillars, she saw the majestic palace supported by the stone pillars, and there was an old mottled bronze long table in front of her. .
And at the top of the long bronze table, there is a mysterious and abnormal figure that seems to be looking down on everything, wrapped in thick gray mist.
Forsi half stood up and bowed, respectfully said:
"Mr. Fool."
'The Fool' Klein nodded with a smile and said:
"Your information is very valuable, what kind of compensation do you need?"
"No, no payment is required."
Forsi waved her hand, thought for a while and said in a low voice:
"Mr. Fool, if possible, I hope you can help convey to... Miss Judgment that we may not be able to return to Backlund in a short time."
After speaking, Fors seemed a little nervous again.
This is Mister Fool, is it really okay to bother him with such a trivial matter?
"This is really good!"
Klein couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Fors would make a request that he couldn't fulfill.It's just such a small matter of spreading the word, it couldn't be easier.
But on the surface, the Fool's 'coldness' is still necessary, Klein just smiled and nodded:
"can."
"Thank you for your generosity."
Forsi breathed a sigh of relief, but hesitated for a moment, and then asked hesitantly, "Mr. Fool, I have a question..."
Fors raised her head to look at 'The Fool', and found that 'The Fool' was looking at her encouragingly, so she plucked up her courage and said:
"I want to know, Mr. 'Lover' what does he have to do with Flame?"
Ember didn't let her ask this question, but Forsi still asked out of her own will.
"Good question."
Klein raised his eyebrows slightly, quite satisfied with Forsi's question, he actually wanted to answer this question a long time ago.
Klein raised his finger and pointed somewhere.
Forsi looked in the direction Mr. Fool pointed, and the gray mist flowed like water, dotted with crimson illusory "stars" one after another.Some of them are big, some are small, some are hidden in the depths, and some are floating on the surface.
"This is you."
Klein pointed to one of the bright red stars and said.
"I?"
Fors was a little stunned, but Klein quickly pointed to other stars:
"This is Miss Judge."
"This is Miss Justice."
"This is Mr. Hanged Man..."
Klein introduced a few stars, but Fors suddenly felt uneasy, because Mister Fool did not introduce 'lover'!
But soon, after introducing the other members, Klein finally pointed somewhere, and said slowly:
"That's a lover."
Forsi looked in the direction the fool pointed, and finally found a red star that was much bigger than the other stars.
"Is this embers?"
Forsi thought subconsciously, but soon she realized her mistake.
Because when she observed carefully, she discovered that behind the red star, there was actually a small cluster of flames hidden!
The flame was small and glowed bright yellow.
But its radiance is too weak, overlapping with those crimson stars, the faint radiance is almost imperceptible.If Mister Fool hadn't pointed it out to her, she would never have noticed the existence of that small cluster of flames!
Forsi was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "The flames, are they embers?"
"Yes."
Mister Fool nodded slightly, and sighed leisurely:
"The flame is his past, and it is also a curse. But no matter what it is, it has long been integrated with him."
If Miss Fors hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that what represented the embers was a cluster of flames.And this small cluster of flames can actually confirm some of his guesses——
The embers must be one of usurping the fire or taking the fire, otherwise it is impossible to explain why it is a cluster of flames that represent his 'soul'!
But this made Klein even more strange.
How can a person who can do such outrageous things as usurping fire or seizing fire think about spreading fire all day long?
Is this beaver?
But, 'only the fire and the fool can save Abraham'?
There seems to be no problem with these words, after all, the curse of the Abraham family is the raving of the full moon.
And the embers of this problem can completely be solved for the Abraham family, which has been well reflected in Forsi.As for fools...
"Hey, wait, it seems that I can do this kind of thing too?"
Klein's expression suddenly became strange. Thinking about it carefully, is there a possibility that he can solve their curse?
As long as the family of Abraham recites his name, he can give him shelter on the night of the full moon.
So what the fool was pointing at seemed to be pointing at himself?
Is this prophecy so accurate?
Klein showed a gratified smile, which means that I am the only fool, which is a good thing.
But then, without knowing what he thought of, Klein's expression suddenly became stiff.
If, he meant if, if he came forward to help the Abraham family, what would he get?
First of all, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Since the Abraham family was once an angel family, it has at least one Sequence 2 or even a Sequence 1 Extraordinary.Even if such a family has declined, even if it has been betrayed, its background is by no means comparable to that of ordinary secret organizations.
If the 'Fool' successfully helped them, he would definitely gain Abraham's friendship and even turn them into his followers.Then when he, the 'god', sent his favored ones to ask his followers for extraordinary materials or potion formulas, would they still refuse to give them?If he could subdue this family with an ancient heritage but already in decline, wouldn't it mean that his future path would be smooth? !
And doesn't this also mean that he has missed a good opportunity again? !
Thinking of the reward Ember might get, a stiff smile appeared on the face of 'The Fool'.
No, not bad.
At least when Ember gets these, he shouldn't be stingy selling these things to 'The World' or 'Klein'.Rounding up, doesn't this mean there is no difference?
Well, there is only a small price to pay, which is gold pounds.
Moreover, it may not be a good thing for all the Abrahams to believe in me.For example, let's say I can't respond to them one by one, and I can't ensure shelter for everyone. I'm not spiritual enough to support me to do this, so it's a good thing!
Well, that's right, that's it!
Klein kept enlightening and comforting himself from the bottom of his heart, trying to convince himself that his heart was shouting 'I'm so sour! ' mind.
……
"What did 'The Fool' say?"
In the box of the restaurant, Ember looked at the girl who seemed to have not recovered and asked.
"Mr. Fool agreed."
Fors didn't look at him, but looked down at the plate on the table, stuffed a piece of fried fish steak into her mouth as if she was very hungry, and said vaguely, "So, don't you want it next time?" Let me do this kind of thing again. Don't you think it's too much to use Mister Fool as a microphone?"
Ember shrugged, but didn't reply.
He also lowered his head to look at the fried fish steak on the dinner plate. The two bulging fish eyes on the fish head were looking at the embers at the same time, as if expressing his unwillingness to die.Rao Ember also felt some physical discomfort, so he stuck the fish head and threw it into the trash can.
"Boom!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
After getting a response from the box, Dorian pushed the door open and entered.His expression no longer looked as sad as before, it seemed that he had relaxed a lot because he had let go of a lot of burdens.
Dorian showed a smile on his face and said:
"I have sent a telegram to other members of the family, and someone has responded. According to the agreement, we will meet up in Disey County in a few days."
Afraid that Ember would find it troublesome, Dorian immediately explained, "Mr. Black, it will take nearly three days to travel from Pritz Harbor to Disey County, even by steam train."
Ember didn't show the impatient look as Dorian imagined, but asked calmly:
"When to set off?"
"how about tomorrow?"
Dorian asked cautiously, "I still need to wait for the reply from other family members, so it's best to wait until tomorrow morning before taking a cruise or steam train to Disey County."
Forsi wondered, "Wouldn't it be that we have to stay in Pritz Harbor for a day? Then we have to find a hotel in the afternoon..."
"That's not necessary."
Dorian smiled and said, "I have a villa on the outskirts of Pritz Harbor. Although I don't live there, I have hired maids to clean it all the time. If you don't mind, you can go there to rest tonight .”
"..."
Fors doesn't want to talk, should it be said that it is an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years?Even if it has declined, the wealth it possesses is still an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
The villa was bought but not lived in, and a maid was hired to clean it. It was like buying a villa specially for the maid and paying her wages.
"Yes, and this one."
Dorian seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly took out a notebook.
"This is……"
Fors glanced at it. It was the notebook Mr. Lawrence gave her.
Dorian stroked the cover of the note and said softly:
"It's called Lymanor's Travel Notebook, but we prefer to call it Lymanor's Magic Book."
"This magic book allows you to record a certain extraordinary ability while seeing it."
"This will be fixed on one of the pages of the note and stored for a long time. You can use it whenever you need it. But after using it once, the corresponding page will become blank again, waiting for you to record again."
"shepherd?"
Ember asked thoughtfully.
"very similar."
Dorian nodded and explained, "This corresponds to the extraordinary ability of the Sequence 6 'Recorder' of our Apprentice Path, which can even be said to be stronger than the 'Shepherd' to a certain extent! Because the Shepherd can only drive One soul, but the Recorder can use multiple abilities at the same time!"
Ember was noncommittal, neither refuting nor affirming.
Although Dorian came from an ancient family and possessed many secrets, since he only had Sequence 7, many things could not be imagined even after seeing the description.And because he is taking the apprenticeship path, coupled with the past glory of the Abraham family, there will naturally be an illusion of "my path is the best in the world".
But in fact, the recorder and the shepherd can only say that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The former can use multiple abilities at the same time, but each can only be used once, and the number is limited.
Although the latter needs to switch the driving soul to display the extraordinary ability corresponding to the soul, but this process can be changed instantly and the shepherd can also drive the soul of the "recorder", such as Mr. A.
"It can record 3 demigod-level extraordinary abilities, 10 extraordinary abilities of sequence 5 and sequence 6, and 25 extraordinary abilities below sequence 6. However, the higher the sequence, the greater the chance of failure, so it often takes several It takes one or even a dozen times to succeed."
"And the higher the sequence, the worse the effect. Sequence 4 and above may only have half of the original, and even sequence 5 may only have 80% of the original."
"Besides, it has powerful negative effects just like other magical items. Every time you use it, it will make you lose your way, encounter various dangers, and even lose your life! You must Draw your own blood after use and spread it evenly on the cover to eliminate this effect."
Forsi nodded again and again, but at the end she was a little puzzled and said:
"Mr. Dorian, why are you telling us this?"
"Abraham repays his kindness."
Dorian seemed to have expected her to ask such a question. He smiled and handed the note to Forsi, and said seriously, "Whether you can solve the curse we bear, this note will be your compensation for your effort!"
"Compensation? It's really courageous."
Fors took the note and sighed softly in her heart.
To prostitute a magical item without doing anything, the Abraham family is really rich.But Mr. Dorian did this to prove to them that the Abraham family can really pay enough, right?
But is this really necessary?
It was just a prophecy that had never been proven. They couldn't even determine Ember's identity, but they were willing to pay such a high price.Are you really convinced of that so-called prophecy?Or because of 'emergency medical treatment'?Or is it another reason?
Forsi handed the note to Ember, looking at Ember's profile, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.
After all, what exactly is 'flame'?What is the relationship between embers and flames?Was the reason why he didn't have a heartbeat also related to the flames?
Seeing Ember and the two accepting this magical item, Dorian heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"I still have some things to deal with, so I won't disturb your meal. If you need extra meals, you can ask Chef Sergey in the kitchen. If you need to find me, I will be upstairs in the study."
"By the way, here is the address and key of the villa."
Dorian put a note and key on the table, then stepped back and left the box, and even closed the door intimately.
"Isn't he worried that we took our things and ran away?"
Forsi complained, but turned her head to find that Ember was holding a note in a daze, she couldn't help but asked in a low voice with some doubts, "What are you thinking?"
Ember pondered for two seconds, then suddenly asked:
"I was thinking, is this notebook only able to record extraordinary abilities?"
Fors froze for a moment, unable to react for a while, and asked instinctively:
"What else is there besides extraordinary ability?"
Ember thought for a while, then seriously replied: "Magic, spells, miracles, um, there are also combat skills, prayers..."
"..."
Forsi hesitated to speak, are you sure you are not talking about the same thing?In other words, these should all be categorized as Extraordinary abilities, right?What is the difference?
……
Dorian left the restaurant, returned to the office on the second floor, and closed the door.The office had drawn the curtains at some point, making the room extremely dim.And Dorian was obviously used to all this, he just walked silently behind the desk and sat down.
Woo!
There was a sudden wind blowing in the office, with a weeping trill.
Circles of light quickly swung away, seemingly forming a door beyond the normal concept.
A half-illusory and half-real spherical thing flew out from the "bottom" of the aperture. It was milky white in color, with no eyes, nose, arms, legs or other things around it. There was only a crack on the surface that looked like a mouth.
Dorian showed an obvious smile, opened his mouth, and softly hummed a lullaby with a folk flavor.
The 'ball' suddenly swayed from side to side, looking extremely comfortable.
After humming the song, Dorian stretched out his hand.
The 'ball' jumped up and down, its body swelled suddenly, and its 'mouth' opened wide.
Then, it spit out a letter.
"Well done, Malmus."
Dorian accepted the letter and praised 'Ball' at the same time, making 'Ball' sway happily again.It's just that when Dorian opened the letter and quickly scanned it with great anticipation, his eyes became disappointed and lonely at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He lied, not like what he said in front of Ember that he had a family. He responded, and agreed to meet in Dixi County in a few days.
In fact, he didn't use telegrams to communicate with other people, but a 'messenger' that was relatively rare even among Extraordinary people.
The messenger allows him to communicate with Abraham family members living all over the world in a faster and more convenient way, and can ensure that the letter is received by them personally.
But unfortunately, among all the people he contacted, not even a single person gave an encouraging and supportive reply!
Dorian's face was full of bitterness. After thousands of years passed, the people in the Abraham family who were always willing to believe in the prophecy were after all a minority.Especially after experiencing that betrayal, their vigilance and rejection of outsiders have also increased day by day.
The reason why he said that he would meet up in Dixi County in four days was actually just a way to delay the troops.
He hoped that he could write letters to as many family members as possible within these four days, and persuade them as much as possible.Although he doesn't know exactly how many people will go, but no matter what, this is a hope after all.Even if this hope is incomparably ethereal and illusory, even if it seems as far away as a mirror image.
But no matter what, only by stretching out one's hand can one grasp the fleeting miracle!
"But is it all worth it?"
Dorian sat at the table, looked at the last sentence of the letter, grasped the edge of the letter paper with his pinched white fingers, and remained silent for a long time.But in the end, it all just turned into a long sigh.But his eyes became more determined than ever at this moment.
He picked up his pen and took out a clean letterhead.
"worth!"
"Nothing is more worth fighting for! My parents, my brothers, my sisters, my children, and thousands of years ago, countless ancestors, too many people paid with their lives because of the curse cost!"
"If there is hope in my generation that the curse can be lifted, then why should we not do it?!"
"Even if it's not for ourselves, we have to do it for our children... for your children, at least work hard, don't we?"
Dorian folded the letterhead and handed it to his courier Malmus, and then he took out another clean letterhead.The members of the Abraham family are scattered all over the world, and Dorian needs to use different tones for different people.
But this time, there was only a short sentence in his pen:
"Make Abraham great again!"
