Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 296 The Priest and Adam

Like a pilgrim, the priest with golden eyes walked slowly through the hall step by step, and came to the huge throne prepared by the ancient god.

He stopped slowly, and turned his gaze to the back of the throne——

There was a downward passage, shrouded in deep darkness.

The priest raised his finger and pointed to the dark passage, solemnly proclaiming:

"Let there be light."

In an instant, the pure and soft light lit up, illuminating the inside exceptionally thoroughly.

Without needing to enter, Ember, who had been following her all the time, saw an ancient bronze gate standing opposite to each other at the deepest part of the passage.

On the gate, countless indescribable symbols are densely covered, like chains extending to the rear one after another, as if something is being sealed, intuitively giving people a sense of heaviness and mystery.

Ember stared at it for a while, then suddenly asked:
"What's sealed inside?"

The priest looked up at the embers beside him, his eyes seemed a little surprised, but he still replied:

"Original."

"The one that woke up inside you?"

Facing Ember's inquiry, the priest calmly said:
"The original exists in everyone's body. The higher the sequence, the greater the chance of the original awakening. Long before I appeared, the original had already awakened in the bodies of those ancient gods to varying degrees."

"This forced most of the ancient gods to devote a lot of energy to fighting against the original awakening, and Angleweed did the most thorough thing. He sealed the city of miracles, Levished, together with the original pollution."

"It's dangerous for anyone to look directly at the primordial pollution, and it will awaken the primordial in them as well."

In Ember's field of vision, he only saw a bronze door that opened in two directions.

But within the vision of the priest, in the deep darkness behind the bronze gate, one eye opened, the pupil was dark and covered with faint blue cracks.In no particular order, the same eyes opened one after another, staring indifferently.

At the same time, the priest seemed to hear a silent cry, a very attractive cry.

Every cell and every tiny particle in his body seems to have its own consciousness, forming another 'I'.

The priest knew very well that this meant that the original had awakened in him again.

But this time, he did it voluntarily.

In fact, he had already been here long before the embers came.

Use the original pollution sealed here to activate the 'primordial' awakening in your body.But last time he just tasted it, because the embers hadn't come yet, and it wasn't time for him to be polluted by the original.

In his original plan, it should be to use the pollution sealed here to evoke the original recovery in Ember.

But he miscalculated, maybe there is no Yuanyuan in Ember's body at all, or maybe Yuanyuan doesn't want to revive in Ember's body.Regardless of the reason, he can only implement the second set of plans——

Sacrifice yourself and let the original come.

So he didn't even resist, allowing the original consciousness to occupy his body.

Anyway, it is just a product of fantasy, even if it is occupied by the original, it will not have any impact on the main body.

Ember's voice suddenly came from the priest's ear:
"So, this is your plan?"

"Let me compete with the original snipe and clam, and you will benefit from the fisherman."

The priest was quite calm and said frankly:
"No, you and Yuan Yuan may be fighting each other, but I'm not a fisherman, I'm just a fish being fought over."

The priest actually didn't think that the primordial could cause much trouble to Ember. After all, although the living primordial is very strong, the most terrifying thing about the current primordial is that he will revive in the body of any Extraordinary.

And the higher the sequence, the greater the possibility of the original recovery, and the more terrifying the initial recovery.

But in the final analysis, the strength after the original recovery is also determined based on the sequence of its recovered Extraordinary.

And a primitive with only Sequence 2 is far from enough to threaten Ember.

but.

Even if it can only hinder him a little, it has far exceeded expectations.

But at this moment, the priest suddenly changed his color slightly.

Because Yuan Yuan, who was recovering quickly in his body, suddenly 'stagnated'.

If you want to use an analogy, the progress bar of the original recovery is stuck at 49% and does not move.

Can neither go up nor down, seems to be forced at 49% by some kind of limiter.

But the priest is very sure that there is no such limiter in his body.

Although his own will can delay the original recovery time, but he completely let go of his mind to let the original recover quickly, and it is impossible to take any action to limit the original recovery!

The priest was silent for a long time, looking down at his hands, his body was burning with flying sparks.

Ember smiled and asked:

"I don't think Adam would welcome you back, would he?"

The priest was silent.

In the next second, the scene in front of him changed.

The magnificent city of wonders disappeared, and he was no longer in that magnificent palace, not even in that stone church.

In front of him, there was only the endless blue sea.

And the stagnant original will in his body began to recover again.

Only this time, the priest hesitated for a long time, but finally forced him down out of his own will.

Not of Adam, but of the will of the priest himself.

Woo!
Amidst the sound of the whistle, the long steam train drove into Backlund with a bang.

Carrying the suitcase, Klein once again set foot on the land of the 'City of All Capitals' and the 'Land of Hope', and found that the fog was much thinner than before, and there was no obvious yellowish color, and the gas street lamps on the platform were no longer visible. Not lit early to dispel gloom and gloom.

In fact.

As early as three days ago, he had already arrived at Pritz Harbor on the 'White Agate' with the three of Mobet.

But he didn't go directly to Backlund, but chose to temporarily separate from the three of Mobate, and changed his identity to go to Conant City in Disey County alone.On the one hand, he didn't want to return to Backlund as 'Gehrman Sparrow', and he didn't want his new identity to be known by the three of Mobate.

On the other hand, he also needs to fulfill the agreement, convey the last words of the Nighthawk who was imprisoned by the creeping hunger, and at the same time return his Extraordinary characteristics in the local church.

Thanks to the popularity of steam trains, the entire journey only takes three days.

And Klein also obtained a new identity from the local gangster, Dawn Dantès.

In the identity of Dwayne Dantès, Klein rented a room in a high-end hotel in the Hillston area.Although Klein felt sorry for the expensive price of 10 soli per night, he could only grit his teeth and endure it in order to fit his personality.

"It's okay, I can't live for a few days anyway."

After comforting himself, Klein put on the double-breasted frock coat and hat, walked out of the room, and came to the street.

Holding an umbrella, he walked around to another street, taking advantage of the fact that the street lights were far away and the drizzle was hazy, he suddenly changed back into the appearance of Sherlock Moriarty. He planned to visit some old friends.
-
Backlund Bridge Area, Bar of the Brave.

In the billiard room, Ian, who was wearing an old overcoat, put a thick stack of documents on the table, cleared his throat and said:
"Mr. Longzel, I have to regret to inform you that there is neither the Northwest District nor De La Hale Street."

While talking, Ian changed the topic again:
"But fortunately, we found the city's urban planning records."

"In a remodeling 150 years ago, the Northwest End was revoked, most of the area to which it belonged was assigned to the Hillston District, and De La Hale Street was assigned to Seventh Avenue."

"As for the former No. 18 De La Hale Street, it should be the current No. 265 Seventh Avenue."

"But the surname of the people living there is not Edward, but Strange."

Longzel silently flipped through the documents on the table, and asked after a long time:
"What else did you find?"

"a lot of."

Ian shrugged and said helplessly:

"Edward in Backlund doesn't have [-] but [-]. I have no way of finding out which Edward family you are talking about, Mr. Longzel. I can't even be sure if they are still in Backlund."

"However, judging from the details you provided, Mr. Longzel. If the Edward family has always stayed in Backlund, and every generation has people serving in the army, then this range can be narrowed down to 170 families."

"Both of these 170 families have active or retired soldiers, but not every generation has people serving in the military, and I can't be sure. So which one it is, you may need Mr. Longzel to identify it yourself."

Longzel solemnly said:

"That's enough, thank you."

Longzel paused, took out a few 10-pound banknotes from his pocket, and handed them over:

"This is the last payment."

Ian suddenly showed a bright smile from the heart.

Although these two were introduced by Detective Sherlock, they still have to collect the money that should be collected.

He didn't bother Longzel who was looking for clues in the pile of materials, turned around and walked out of the billiard room with the money.

His bright red eyes swept casually, and suddenly he saw a familiar figure. He opened his mouth, but he didn't spit out the name of the other person, but said in surprise:
"Good evening, sir, can I help you?"

"I don't need it for the time being, I just came to see an old friend." Klein smiled warmly.

While speaking, he caught a glimpse of the gold pound in Ian's hand and said with a smile:
"It seems that your business has been doing well recently."

Ian shrugged:

"Actually, this is a friend introduced by you, sir."

Klein, who turned into 'Sherlock Moriarty', raised his eyebrows:
"Lonzel?"

Ian nodded slightly, and pointed in the direction of the billiard room:

"Yes, Mr. Longzel is inside, do you want to meet them?"

"No need."

Klein shook his head and refused. He didn't come here to catch up with Longzel and the others. After all, they hadn't been separated for a few days.

He pointed to the doorway of the bar:
"I'll see you later when I have time."

"Ok."

Ian didn't ask much, but instead asked, "Mr. White from Harvest Church is your friend?"

Emlyn is this guy willing to go out?Klein nodded and said:

"Correct."

After speaking, he squeezed out of the crowd, opened the door and left the Bar of the Brave.

After getting into a rental carriage, Klein cast his gaze out the window, waiting for Miss Sharron to appear.

Silently, Klein had a sudden inspiration. He looked sideways at the window, and saw a clear figure of a young girl wearing a small black soft hat and a gothic court dress on the glass that was made to reflect the scene by the night. reflected.

Turning his head, Klein saw Miss Sharron sitting opposite him. She had light blond hair, blue eyes, and pale face that were no different from before.

"Good evening." Klein, who didn't need to play Gehrman Sparrow, greeted him.

Sharon stood up slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, and returned the salute.

Klein, who couldn't find a topic to chat for a while, cleared his throat and said directly:

"I killed Senor."

"Hmm." Sharon's eyes were slightly surprised, but she just hummed lightly.

Klein continued with a smile:

"If Maric still needs a copy of the extraordinary characteristic of 'Wraith', I can sell it to him for 5000 pounds."

Senior's bounty in Loen was only 42000 pounds, but the total bounty of the four countries of the Northern Continent exceeded 12 pounds.

And the final distribution is based on 12 gold pounds to calculate the remuneration, with an average of 2 gold pounds per person.

Coupled with the other 'wealth' on Senor's ship, everyone was finally allocated 3 gold pounds.

The three of Longzel each took 3 gold pounds, and Siatas' share would not be available until Edwina exchanged for the bounty, because Edwina did not have enough cash.

But it is simply that Xiatas has to follow the boat for a while, and she herself does not value money very much, so no one has much opinion on this allocation proposal.

On the other hand, Klein offered to ask for 25000 gold pounds in cash and the Extraordinary characteristics of that wraith.

Senor's body was left to Edwina, and she went to collect the bounty.This would take a long time, so the portion of the bounty exceeding 12 gold pounds went to Edwina.

Of course, this also includes the bounties of Senior's subordinates - the entire fleet of Admiral Blood was taken over by them, and the total bounties of Senior's subordinates are tens of thousands of pounds.

The only problem is that it takes a long time to get the money, and it also requires a certain network of contacts.

Miss Sharon simply responded:

"I need a few days."

Klein nodded lightly. After all, 5000 pounds is not a small sum.

Having said that, he took out the pen and sticky note, scribbled down the summoning method of his messenger, and handed it over:

"If you have anything to do, you can write to me."

Sharon took the paper, looked at it carefully and said:

"I'm at the Brave Bar.

"Letters can be sent to 126 Gard Street, Hillston, addressed to Mrs. Mariah."

"Ok."
-
North End, Samuel Church.

Mobet Zarathustra sat on the edge of the bench in the middle of the prayer hall, bowing his head silently in prayer.

Of course he is not a believer of the Evernight Goddess, and he can even be regarded as a complete pagan.

But this does not prevent him from pretending to pray at the Church of the Evernight Goddess——

Anyway, he didn't expect to be blessed by the Evernight Goddess, so it didn't matter if he was sincere or not.

He came here to wait for someone.

He has been waiting here for two days, but he has not been able to meet the person he wants to see.

Just as he was thinking, Mobet was suddenly inspired, and instinctively opened his eyes and looked to the left.

Immediately, he saw a Nighthawk with black hair and green eyes. He didn't wear the windbreaker that Nighthawks usually wear. He wore a white shirt that was not tied into the belt, straight-leg pants and a black vest. His style was very casual.
