Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 140 So love goes away, right?

October 12th, Thursday.

When Ember came to the living room, she saw Fors listlessly curled up on the sofa, hugging Kulala as if she was hugging a pillow.In the kitchen, there was the sound of gas burning and frying.It was undoubtedly Hugh and Clarice.

Seemingly hearing movement in the living room, Xio's energetic voice came from the kitchen:
"Wait a minute, breakfast will be ready soon!"

"Wow~"

After a while, Clarice came to the dining room with her numerous tentacles carrying several plates at the same time.The style is still the same as before, toast, bacon, fried eggs and sausages, and a cup of hot milk.After all, Xio is not a professional chef, so it is impossible to cook so richly.But for ordinary families, such a breakfast can already be called a luxury.

"Forsi!"

Xio came out of the kitchen and saw Fors snoozing on the sofa, and immediately became out of breath.Stepping forward quickly, he pinched Forsi's cheeks on both sides forcefully to revive the sleepy-eyed girl. While slurring her speech, she slapped Xio's wrist vigorously in an attempt to make her let go.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Xiu, Zong go, Zong go!"

Although Xio let go of his hand amidst his friend's protest, he still said with a straight face:

"Do you still know it hurts? Hurry up and have breakfast for me, and then go to the circus to perform. Also, you are not allowed to go home before dark, and I will pass by the circus in the afternoon for spot checks!"

"Eh!!"

Forsi opened her eyes wide, and looked at Xio with disbelief, as if saying, "Is there anyone like you who cheats on your friends?"
Xio rewarded her with a shudder, and said angrily:

"You asked for this. You were promoted to Sequence 8 half a month earlier than me, but you haven't finished digesting the potion yet! It's because I spoiled you too much in the past, but not now, you have to wait before the new year." Complete the digestion of the potion!"

"Eeeeeeeee!?!"

The young girl's mournful cry sounded in the living room. Getting up early in winter made her feel quite depressed, but now she was forced to go to work, which made Forsi's mood even worse. She wanted to cry without tears.

Under the oppression of Xio's eyes, Fors sat down at the dining table weakly like a frosted eggplant, picking at the bacon and fried eggs on the plate one after another.Kurala floated behind Forsi, and stretched out her tentacles to massage Forsi as if to comfort her.

While eating breakfast, Ember suddenly asked:
"How do you digest the potion?"

"Go to the circus and do magic tricks, what else can I do?"

Forsi puffed up her face and muttered, "In the final analysis, is there really a difference between juggling and magic? Anyway, I can clearly feel the digestion of potion when I perform magic in a circus. It's better to just change your name to a magician if you're a master juggler." gone."

Xio gave Fors a blank look, and asked back: "Aren't you a 'magician'?"

"Different."

Forsi rolled her eyes, and said listlessly, "Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway. Uh~ my potion is almost digested, and there will definitely be no problem in a few days."

Compared with digesting the potion, she would rather lie in the quilt and sleep late.But there is no way, who let someone around her always put pressure on her?Hugh would urge her to go to the circus to perform magic tricks every day, and she couldn't do it if she didn't want to.

And to make sure she wouldn't be lazy, she chose a circus in Jorwood.In this way, when Xio goes to the East District every morning, he can take Forsi there along the way and watch her enter the circus with his own eyes—and when he comes back at night, he will also pass by the circus to confirm that she is working well.

Although occasionally he can act like a baby to Hugh to get a chance to sleep in for a day, but this kind of opportunity does not necessarily happen once a week.Fors immediately learned from the painful experience, instead of continuing to suffer like this, it is better to digest the potion completely in one go - then you have no reason to force me to go to the circus, right?

Forsi gently hummed a ditty from her hometown, and praised her wit.

"A circus."

Ember suddenly pointed out, "This is indeed a good place to digest. The next sequence of a juggler is the astrologer. In addition to performing magic tricks, the circus can also perform divination. After you are promoted to an astrologer, you can continue to go to the circus." The regiment completes the digestion of the next stage of potion."

Hugh's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed, "Good idea!"

Forsi looked at the two people who were discussing how to 'murder' her face to face with disbelief, and whimpered like a quail:

"No! You can't do this to me! Magic tricks are fine, but for divination, at least you have to find a fortune-telling club, right?"

"Row."

Xio said without hesitation, "I will satisfy your request, and I will contact the Fortune Teller Club for you tomorrow."

Forsi was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and when she saw that Xio and Ember were smiling at the same time as if she had succeeded in plotting, she wanted to cry without tears.She didn't understand why, the two of them sang together clearly, they deliberately led themselves into the pit!

But it's impossible to regret it now, because it was she who offered to go to the Fortune Teller Club.

After breakfast, the three of them went out separately.

The embers headed north towards the North District, while Forsi and the two headed east to the Jowood District.

The warmth of the day melted away the snow that fell last night, making Backlund's road surface wet, leaving a large number of potholes that accumulated rainwater at the shoulder where the smooth road and sidewalk intersected.From time to time, a carriage deliberately gallops past the sidewalk, splashing a lot of water with thin ice and dust floating, and quickly moving away amidst passers-by's greetings to the ancestors' cursing.

Backlund is located in the middle of the Kingdom, only a few tens of kilometers away from the Sunya Sea. There is a lot of light rain all year round. The average highest temperature in July is only 28 degrees Celsius, and the lowest in winter is around 2 degrees Celsius. It is rare to have a chance to drop to "zero" like yesterday. ", even breakthrough.But this does not prevent people from feeling the cold here. Even the Northern Feysacs who are used to living in the ice and snow sometimes cannot bear the dampness and coolness that can penetrate clothing and flesh and blood.

Ember walked on the innermost side of the sidewalk, heading all the way to the North District.Although there is already a 'Traveler's Ring', which can be quickly teleported to St. Samuel's Cathedral, Ember still chooses to walk.

After all, if teleportation is used no matter where he goes, it will make his life lose a lot of fun, which does not meet the definition of 'human'.

When the embers arrived at St. Samuel's Church, many believers had gathered in the church's large prayer hall.Ember was still the same as before, skillfully walked through the large prayer hall to the back of the church, and found Archbishop Anthony.

"Good morning, Your Excellency."

Archbishop Anthony nodded slightly and greeted Ember, he smiled and said, "Have you found the answer you want?"

Facing Anthony's question, Ember was not surprised at all, but just said frankly:

"I do not know."

This answer made Anthony slightly taken aback, as if he was lost in thought, because he didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.

"Bishop Anthony."

Ember didn't wait for Anthony to answer, and suddenly asked, "Is the witch's potion ready?"

"Yes."

Anthony nodded slightly, and said slowly, "A witch's potion, and a 'Recorder' potion that His Excellency the Favored One needs. The Church of Evernight has the main materials needed, and they can be configured at any time."

"But before that, I must remind you."

Anthony paused, and then added, "In ancient times, only Sequence 6 was the real starting point of the Middle Sequence. This is not only a symbol of strength, but also the beginning of madness and danger. Your Excellency, you should know that eating magic The process of taking medicine will inevitably accumulate madness and get out of control."

"At the low sequence, as long as you strictly follow the acting method to complete the digestion of the potion, there will be almost no risk of getting out of control. But this does not mean that the accumulation of madness and out-of-control does not exist. From moment to moment, the psychic influence left in the potion increases with each passing day."

"The 'influence' of these accumulations in low-sequence is still very small, and there are few concrete manifestations. But when the real middle-sequence is promoted, that is, Sequence 6, these risks of getting out of control will initially emerge. So even after fully digesting There is still a great risk of getting out of control if you get promoted after the potion."

"This is why starting from Sequence 5, every promotion must be assisted by rituals. Because these rituals can help Extraordinary people and minimize the risk of losing control."

"So I want to confirm a question, are there any abnormalities in the process of taking and digesting the potion? For example, you may have a major change in temperament caused by the residual spirit of the potion, or you may hear raving?"

Archbishop Anthony's expression was incomparably serious. Obviously, in his eyes, even if there is a way to act, it is not safe to be promoted to Sequence Six.

Facing Archbishop Anthony's serious inquiry, Ember shrugged and said:
"I don't think so, or I would have known."

"Is that so?"

Archbishop Anthony sighed, and said softly, "Your Excellency, please wait a moment, and I will prepare the potion for you."

Anthony opened the drawer and took out a square box from inside.Opening the lid reveals what's inside—a crinkled and raised translucent thing that looks like a brain.But its size is only one-fifth of the size of a normal human brain, and the color is not pink, but grayish white.

That is one of the main materials needed to prepare the Recorder's potion - the complete Brain of Asman.

Anthony quickly and skillfully concocted the 'Recorder' potion - a bottle of grayish-white color that looked like sewage scooped from potholes on the side of the street.Neither Anthony nor Ember had any hesitation about this, Anthony handed it to Ember as soon as he configured it, and Ember drank it in one gulp.

The cool and greasy 'sewage' felt quickly filling his mouth, then slipping through the esophagus and into the stomach.

Then, the feeling came!
Ember felt that her brain was rapidly expanding, and the gray folds and protrusions were increasing crazily, while her body was gradually blurring, decomposing into cells one by one.Those cells have a halo, as if forming a 'gate' around the brain.

This is an experience that I have never had before, and the previous potions have never had this feeling of being torn apart and reorganized.But even so, Ember can clearly realize that all this is an illusion - because he has no brain at all, he is just a mass of ashes.

As if realizing that this change has no effect, Ember vaguely heard strange ravings again, but it was very ethereal and vague, and it was impossible to distinguish the specific words.The voice seemed to become clearer and clearer from far to near, as if it was trying its best to let Ember understand the meaning it expressed.

This voice is like a silk thread, spreading out from the depths of the unknown darkness, trying to penetrate into the ember's 'brain' with a strong desire.Ember frowned slightly, wanted to enter someone's house but couldn't even knock on the door?

In the blink of an eye, a weak flame rose from the 'spiritual world'.

The silk thread disappeared into the flames like a moth to a flame, without causing any impact.And almost at the same time, a lot of pure knowledge echoed in Ember's mind, allowing him to understand how to use the 'Recorder' ability:
The mutated 'brain' reproduces the extraordinary ability used by the target, and then drives the activated part of the cells to form the corresponding symbols, patterns and logos to complete the storage.This is "I came, I saw, I recorded", using the spirit as the pen and the spirit as the paper.This is almost the same ability as Forsi's 'Lemano's Travel Notebook', but it's not surprising.After all, that notebook was originally made with the Extraordinary characteristics of the Recorder.

But Ember frowned slightly for some reason, although Extraordinary people will always have the corresponding ability of their sequence in mind when they are promoted, which is similar to the 'memory inheritance' contained in the blood of those extraordinary creatures.But the 'silk thread' that was trying to get into his mind was obviously not part of the memory inheritance.

According to Archbishop Anthony, this should also be the so-called spiritual residue, which is also the source of loss of control and danger, but Ember doesn't feel that the so-called spiritual residue can affect him!It doesn't look like the remaining spirituality of an extraordinary creature, it's more like someone is actively drilling into his body - using a more appropriate metaphor, Ember feels like someone is taking the body away.

Seeing Ember open his eyes, Anthony smiled and said:

"It seems that you adapt quickly."

"Sorry, I was thinking about something."

Ember came back to her senses after a while, and responded with apology.

Anthony smiled and waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.

Soon he took out another box from the drawer, which contained two extraordinary materials, the blood of the black abyss demon fish and the egg of the agate peacock.In addition, there are some auxiliary materials, these are the extraordinary materials needed to prepare the Assassin Pathway Sequence 7 witch potion, as long as they are mixed into 80ml of pure water, the preparation can be completed.

But Anthony was not in a hurry to prepare the potion, but closed the box and pushed it towards the embers.

"Your Majesty."

Anthony smiled and said, "I think you can try to prepare this potion yourself."

Ember glanced at Anthony, nodded slightly: "Okay."

Ember held the wooden box in his hand, and the ring on his hand instantly burst into an illusory light blue light, and his figure also disappeared.This scene made Anthony a little bit stunned, and it took several seconds to react, his eyes stared at the place where the embers disappeared.

It seems that Your Excellency the Blessed One should hold a magical item made with the extraordinary characteristic of 'Traveler'.This means that there is a high probability that Your Excellency the Blessed One has already contacted the Abraham family.

……

At the same time, outside Earl Hall's luxurious villa.

Ember's figure quietly appeared beside the wall outside the villa, and followed the wall to the main entrance of the villa, and sent a message to the male servant at the door that he wanted to visit.The male servant clearly recognized Ember, and quickly entered the house without daring to be negligent.

After a while, the housekeeper came out from the living room and said respectfully:
"Viscount Black, Earl Hall and the others are having breakfast, please follow me."

"Thank you."

Ember nodded slightly, and followed the housekeeper into the house. As soon as she reached the living room, she saw Audrey leading Susie coming out from the dining room.The butler was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that his job had been robbed. He showed a clear and kind smile, turned and left the living room.

"follow me."

Audrey was stared at by the servants, her cheeks immediately blushed, she whispered and then went upstairs.

Ember shrugged, and followed the girl all the way to the small living room upstairs, next to Audrey's room.Susie also hurriedly followed in, and closed the door behind her.

"Did something happen?"

The camouflaged blush on Audrey's face disappeared, and she asked in a low voice.

Ember succinctly stated her purpose of coming here:

"I want you to help me prepare a potion."

Audrey blinked, and after confirming that Ember was not joking, she nodded slightly:
"it is good."

Susie squatted on the ground, silently observing the two, lost in thought while wagging her tail.Isn't it easy to mix potions?Just mix the Beyonder material with pure water, Audrey does this every time.It's the same no matter who does it.Why do you have to ask Audrey for help with such a trivial matter?Could it be that……

Susie's face suddenly revealed an expression of enlightenment, and a CP-like smile appeared on her face - if a dog with such an expression was seen, it might be startled.

"All right."

While quickly and skillfully preparing the potion, Audrey asked curiously:
"Is this the Recorder's potion?"

She knew that Ember was already the astrologer of Sequence 7, that's why she asked this question.

"No."

Ember shook her head and said, "This is the witch's potion formula."

"Huh? A witch?"

Audrey, who had just prepared the potion, shook her hand, and asked hesitantly, "If I remember correctly, this seems to be a potion that can turn a man into a woman..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw an urn with intricate patterns carved out of Ember's palm—it was the urn of Sister Kulala.Before Audrey could react, Ember poured the potion on the ashes.

"Audrey."

Ember suddenly asked, "Do you have any extra clothes?"

"Eh?"

Audrey was stunned for a while, doubting her ears.

"I don't want it."

Ember shook her head, and when she turned her palm, a small soul-calling bell appeared, and with the ringing sound, two small jellyfish appeared out of thin air.The next moment, the two tiny jellyfishes floating in the air changed with a 'bang' sound - from the original little jellyfish that was white and pink, into two little girls carved in pink and jade, with fair skin and delicate skin.

It's just that they seem, probably, might, maybe, seem to have no clothes.

Well, that's why Bishop Anthony didn't mix potions directly.

Audrey's eyes lit up, staring intently at the two little lolis flying in the air.Although she didn't speak, she had already been promoted to a mind reader, and Susie, who was silently observing the two, read a message from the girl's face:
"So cute! I really want to have a pet like this!"

Susie's wagging tail suddenly stopped, her expression gradually changed, the smile on her face was frozen and stagnant, her eyes were full of innocence and grievance, so love will disappear, right?
