Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 316 Just One Click Is Enough
Seeing that the old man didn't make a sound, Leonard's heart tightened suddenly - he wasn't worried that something might happen to the old man, after all, he was parasitic in his body.If something happened, he, the host, should be the first one to have something happen.

He wasn't worried about the situation of the old man, after all, it wasn't the first time that the old man pretended to be missing like this.

What really made Leonard nervous was the reason why the old man pretended to be missing!

In the past, the reason why the old man would pretend to be missing was often because, as a night watcher, he needed to approach or even go in and out of Chanis Gate frequently.

And the Chanis Gate is the embodiment of the authority of the Evernight Goddess. Even if the old man is an angel of Sequence 1, even the archbishop and senior deacons can't see his 'parasite', but he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the goddess.

And now that the old man no longer responds to his call, it means that the old man thinks that there is someone beyond his expectations in this dinner party.The old man must have thought that the other party could discover his existence, so he didn't dare to speak out, for fear of being found out!
And such an existence, its sequence will definitely not be lower than the old man!
"Could it be Amon?"

A guess suddenly popped up in Leonard's heart that made him feel chills.

'The Blasphemer' Amon!
The old man once mentioned that he was avoiding a high-sequence person named Amon.The old man had no choice but to parasitize into his body precisely because he was severely injured by the other party.

Could it be that Amon was among the guests at this banquet?Or, one of them has Amon parasitic in his body?

"No, it shouldn't be."

Leonard took a deep breath to calm himself down.

If it is really Amon, then this angel named Amon must have some way to perceive or detect the existence of the old man, otherwise the old man does not need to keep avoiding him.

And if this is the case, then there is no need for the old man to hide, and a desperate fight is a better choice.

not to mention.

The old man was afraid of the Goddess and the Church of Evernight. Since the angel named Amon hadn't become a god yet, it was impossible for him to have no fear of the Goddess.This is the North District, not far from St. Samuel's Church.Even if the other party finds the old man, there is a high probability that they will not dare to do it here.

Otherwise, it will only be a fight between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman will benefit.

In other words, the existence in this banquet should not be Amon.

But if it can make the old man afraid, it means that the other party is at least an angel on earth.And since the old man chooses to hide himself, it means that he is certain that the other party will not be able to find him.

Thinking of this, Leonard suddenly caught a glimpse of Mobet walking towards him from the corner of his eye.

Mobate took a glass of champagne from the waiter, and suddenly asked:

"How about it?"

Leonard's expression remained unchanged, and he asked:
"How about what?"

"Ok?"

Mobet frowned, but soon realized the reason, and the old man didn't reply him.

Why didn't even the parasitic object reply?
Either the state is too bad to recover, or there are external factors.As an angel, the old man must be at least an angel to affect his existence.

Coincidentally, Mobet happened to know an angel.

Eliminate all impossibilities, and the remaining answer, no matter how outrageous, is the only truth.

"This is going to be troublesome."

Mobate felt a little helpless in his heart, he only knew that Ember was an angel, but he didn't expect that even the old man was afraid of him.

Doesn't this mean that Ember is not the Sequence 2 he thought, but an angel of at least Sequence 1?

And unlike the half-disabled angel like the old man, Ember was obviously in its heyday, no wonder the old man was too afraid to show his face.

Mobet vaguely reminded:

"Don't worry, I also know that Mr. Black, we are friends."

Leonard immediately understood Mobet's hint—Mobet knew that Ash was an angel, and the person the old man was afraid of might be Ash Black!

A vicissitudes of life sounded in Leonard's mind:

"He has an ancient aura about him."

"A Extraordinary who has lived for a long time?" Leonard muttered in a low voice.

The old man suddenly replied to him now, which meant that Mobet's guess was correct, the old man was indeed afraid of Ash Black!

The slightly aged voice said in a low voice:
"Old and deadly, I have a hunch that even in my prime, I will not be his match."

Leonard froze slightly when he raised his hand, but soon regained his composure, and brought the champagne to his mouth to take a sip.

The old man's evaluation was very high, but Leonard didn't really feel it——

Because whether it is an angel of Sequence 2 or an angel of Sequence 1, there is not much difference to him.

Anyway, they are all existences that can crush him into ashes by raising their hands.

The focus of his attention now is the sentence Mobet just said, 'I also know that Mr. Black'.

"What do you mean you know?"

Leonard narrowed his eyes, he knew Ember, to be precise, he had seen Ember twice.

The first time was in Tingen, when Al Hasson led a team of Nighthawks to escort the sealed item '2-049' to Tingen to assist them in hunting down Riel Bibb, including Ash Black.

That time the other party only stayed for one day, and returned to Backlund the next day with the sealed item '2-049' and the Antigonus family notes.

The second time they met was not long ago, when they passed each other in the underground area of ​​the church.

The other party seemed to be in a hurry to enter Chanis Gate, while he had just left there.

At that time, he seemed to have asked the old man's opinion, and the old man's reaction at that time...

Leonard's expression was a little confused at first, and then he became a little frightened, his pupils narrowed sharply, and he asked in a deep voice:

"You moved my memory?"

Pales Zarathustra said angrily:

"I did it for your own good. If I really intend to steal your memory, do you think you can find out?"

Leonard remained silent, because he knew the old man was telling the truth.If an angel really wanted to do something, it would be impossible for him to discover the clues, let alone remind him of this 'stolen' memory.

The reason why the old man did this was out of fear of Ash Black, and the old man's reaction last time was the best proof.

But Leonard didn't understand why the old man was so scared?

And why must his memory be erased, is it dangerous to even learn about the other party's information?
But if this is the case, then why did the old man 'return' this memory back.

Could it be that this 'precaution' has lost its meaning now that they've met again?
Leonard was silent for a long time, and asked:
"Then what do we do now?"

Pallez was silent for a long time, and sighed faintly:

"Enjoy the dinner."

Leonard remained silent, but shook his head vaguely at Mobet.

When the old man said that, it was equivalent to giving up on tracking down the demigod behind Hazel, they couldn't compete with Dantès' friend.

Mobet shrugged, but he himself didn't feel much.

If there is no chance, there will be no chance. This kind of thing cannot be forced.

If you can't do it, you can find a way to collect Extraordinary materials yourself, just go slower.

A few minutes later, Councilor Macht apologized, took his wife Liana to the stairs, went up to the second floor, raised a glass of red wine at the fence facing the gate and said:
"Thank you for participating in this ball. First of all, let us praise the gods, which are the source of all good things."

He and Mrs. Lianna immediately nodded four times on their chests, and praised the goddess in a low voice. Te also pretended to click on his chest a few times.

Councilor Macht still held the cup, did not put it down, and continued with a smile:

"Secondly, praise the kingdom, which is the bedrock of stability."

"Praise the kingdom."

Klein raised the glass of champagne and followed the surrounding guests.

Then, Congressman Macht looked around and asked humorously:

"Finally, what should we praise?"

With a thought, Klein laughed loudly and said:

"Praise Backlund for improving the air."

Councilor Macht froze for a moment, and responded with a smile that could not be suppressed:

"Very good, this proposal is very good. Let us praise the improved air in Backlund, this is a symbol of our better life, cheers!"

Controlling air pollution has always been his political philosophy as a member of the House of Commons. He has always promoted the formulation of corresponding bills on various occasions, and has played a significant role in improving the environment. Therefore, praising Backlund for improving the air is tantamount to Praise him, and be more subtle and aboveboard.

All the guests responded enthusiastically and drank the alcoholic drinks in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, Councilor Macht took Mrs. Liana's hand, went down to the hall on the first floor, and danced the opening dance to the soft melody.

Klein walked up to Ember, and asked with some teasing:
"Aren't you going to ask her to dance?"

Ember looked along Klein's realization, saw Hazel standing at the edge of the hall, and said:

"Not on her."

Klein raised his eyebrows slightly, which was not surprising.

After all, Hazel's family is a member of parliament, and a bishop visits them regularly.And the Church of Evernight must have a way to find and restrain the parasites. If that demigod parasitizes Hazel, it is very likely that the Church of Evernight will find out.

After all, not every 'parasite' is an angel, and they cannot be like the old grandfather in the poet's classmate, so they are sure enough not to be exposed.

Klein took a sip of champagne and said:
"Even if it's not on her body, it's not too much to dance, right?"

At the edge of the hall, Hazel Macht was holding a glass of white wine, with a slightly alienated smile, watching the men lock their targets and prepare to invite them to dance - but she was the only exception, no one invited her .

It's not because Hazel is not beautiful enough. In all fairness, this young lady is actually very good-looking, majestic and feminine. She should be the star at the ball, and everyone is vying to invite her to dance, but her condescending arrogance Her attitude caused all the men who had set their sights on her to shift their targets.

This kind of arrogance does not stem from her father's status as a member of parliament. After all, there are also nobles and other members of parliament in this dinner party, and their status may not be inferior to that of Mr. Macht.

What really made Hazel feel superior from the bottom of her heart was her own strength, her status as an Extraordinary.Klein has seen many Extraordinary people like this. They think they are no longer ordinary people, and they have a strong sense of superiority when facing ordinary people.

This is not surprising, strength always makes people inflated.

The more ignorant people are, the more they will feel "different" and the more proud they will be.

But the problem is, this is Backlund!
Miss 'Justice' is also from Backlund, and she is also a noble lady with a more noble status than Hazel!
And even Miss 'Justice' knows that Extraordinary is not so easy to be, she has enough channels to become an official Extraordinary, but she did not choose this path, but chose to exchange the magic potion of 'spectator' channel from the Tarot Society formula.

And until now, Miss 'Justice' has been disguised very well, almost no one has discovered her Extraordinary identity.

Similarly, Miss Magician and Miss Judgment are also in Backlund, and they are both wild Beyonders.Although Klein has never met them in reality, it can be judged from their daily words and deeds that they are extremely cautious in their daily actions, for fear of being discovered by official Beyonders—this is also the reason for the survival of most wild Beyonders. road.

Even Miss Sharron, a Sequence 5 Extraordinary who is only one step away from a demigod, acts extremely low-key on weekdays.

The more arrogant Hazel acted, the more ignorant she appeared.

The ignorant are fearless.

But since it was a demigod who led her on the path of the Extraordinary, how could she teach such ignorant students?
Didn't that demigod tell Miss Hazel the common sense of how extraordinary people should survive?

Moreover, as a Beyonder of the 'thief' path, one can guess how to play it from the name of the potion, but how should Hazel act as a 'thief' and a 'trickster' with such a haughty look?
It is hard to imagine what kind of person can teach such a student.

There are only two possibilities for this. One is that the demigod doesn't know how to act, and his attitude is extremely arrogant, and it is this kind of arrogance that affects Hazel.But this possibility is very small. After all, it is very difficult for an Extraordinary who has always maintained "arrogance" and does not know how to act to become a demigod alive. There is a high probability that he lost control and died halfway through the promotion because he could not complete the act.

And the second possibility is that the demigod didn't intend to train the student Hazel well.

The reason why he led her on the path of the Extraordinary was most likely because he regarded her as a parasitic object.

Although because of the existence of the Church of Evernight, the other party did not dare to parasitize Hazel at will.

But when Hazel's sequence is higher, the opponent may directly parasitize Hazel and run away.

Klein shook his head involuntarily, feeling a little pity for Miss Hazel in his heart.

Also a poor man.

Fortunately, the old man in the poet's body is not this kind of person, otherwise the poet would not be allowed to become a 'sleepless person'.

Ember also took a sip of champagne, and slowly said:

"There is no need for that. Tonight should be our last contact without accident."

Although Klein didn't know how Ember confirmed it, he heard his subtext—because he can find that demigod tonight, there is no need to keep in touch with Hazel.

But is it really so?
