Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 45

"Lord Black."

After exchanging pleasantries with Ember for a while, Earl Hall suddenly said with a smile, "Actually, I'm curious about how you and Audrey met?"

"At the salon hosted by Viscount Greint."

Ember was not surprised by Earl Hall's question, and calmly replied.

Embers are clear.

I didn't have any intersection with Earl Hall, and the only person who made the two meet was Audrey Hall.

When the other party invited her to come, she undoubtedly wanted to confirm her relationship with her daughter.

The previous pleasantries were just a foreshadowing for this question, to make his inquiry less aggressive and rude.

After all, he is an earl, and being shameless is a common feature of nobles. He can't force him to meet you aggressively, can he?

"Greint?"

Earl Hall frowned slightly, and asked, "Then, Audrey's potion formula..."

"I gave it to you."

Ember said frankly, "I obtained the formula through private channels, and Miss Audrey paid me a total of six hundred gold pounds for it."

He didn't hide anything about it.

After all, Earl Hall sent someone to guard the Backlund Detective Agency, which meant that the other party knew his identity clearly.

That being the case, he might as well be honest.

"That's it."

Earl Hall sighed lightly, as if relieved and somewhat helpless.

He was not surprised by Ember's answer, after all, he had always guessed.

His daughter has always been obsessed with the occult, and Earl Hall is naturally aware of this.

Even the aristocratic children who made good friends in the circle of Audrey's age, all of them are as eager to touch the mystery as Audrey.

And Viscount Glaint is the one who is closer to Audrey and the one who is the most enamored.

In fact, he had already discovered something when his daughter became a Extraordinary half a month ago.

Although he is not an Extraordinary, it is difficult to detect the changes in Audrey.

But as an earl, he still has some powerful Extraordinary people to protect him, and Audrey's changes cannot be hidden from their eyes.

The fact that Audrey became a Extraordinary had always troubled Earl Hall before this.

Becoming a Extraordinary may not be a bad thing in itself, after all, having the support of the Hall family is enough to save Audrey from many troubles.

But the source of Audrey's formula made Earl Hall worried.

He was afraid that someone was trying to use Audrey to achieve some purpose.

But now that he was affirmed by Ember, he felt relieved.

Although Ember was just a stranger before this, but as an orthodox Nighthawk, the other party naturally wouldn't have any plans.

In particular, Ember deliberately pointed out the private channel and six hundred pounds, which means that the recipe has nothing to do with the Church of Evernight.

And Audrey has already paid the price to obtain the formula, so she won't have much to do with the official Extraordinary.

Firstly, although becoming an official Extraordinary can gain some convenience, it will also bear some responsibilities accordingly.

And this part of the convenience is better than nothing for the Hall family, but those responsibilities will bind Audrey.

Secondly, the official Extraordinary is really too dangerous——

Others don't know, but Earl Hall knows exactly how high the death rate of the official Extraordinary is!

But fortunately, all of this did not develop into the worst situation, and Ember's answer was exactly in line with Earl Hall's expectations.

"Don't talk about that."

Earl Hall pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Viscount Black, speaking of which, I have never really been to Winter County. You have lived there for so long, so you must be familiar with the environment there. Tell me , Is the winter in Lindong County as cold as the rumors in the capital?"

"Aren't you the one who suddenly wanted to talk about this?"

Ember complained from the bottom of her heart, but she shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's cold if you say it's cold, and it's not cold if you say it's not."

"Oh?"

Earl Hall seemed to be aroused curiosity.

"Lord Hall."

Ember met Earl Hall's curious gaze, without changing his expression, "If you want to go to Winter County one day, the people there will tell you enthusiastically that the iron pillars in Winter County are sweet."

"Really?"

Earl Hall was surprised.

"fake."

Ember shook his head, "The winter pillars in Cold Winter County are salty."

"Is there such a magical thing?"

Earl Hall was surprised, "Then I must try it if I have the chance."

"No, I'm joking."

Ember's expression was slightly broken, and she said helplessly, "If you really try to do this, Earl Hall, you will find that your tongue will be firmly stuck to the pillar, because they have been frozen together."

"And if you force your tongue off the post, it just makes you tear your tongue out in agony."

After a pause, Ember added, "Afterwards you can taste the salty taste of blood, so if you lick the pillar, you can indeed taste the salty taste."

"..."

Earl Hall's cheeks twitched slightly. Just listening to him, he knew it would be very painful. He couldn't help asking, "Then what if someone really accidentally sticks their tongue on the pillar?"

"If the situation permits, you can use hot water to pour it a little bit."

Ember thought about her choice of words, and said with a weird expression, "And if the situation doesn't allow it, and if you don't have hot water on hand, then you must act as soon as possible, otherwise you may be frozen to death if you wait too long."

"At this time, we can only rely on the liquid with the body's own heat to pour it on."

"saliva?"

Earl Hall asked tentatively.

"The amount is too small, and the effect is too slow. You need to use a larger amount. Well, I'm not talking about blood, and it's best not to try it with blood."

"What's the use of..."

Seeing Ember's ambiguous words, Earl Hall asked subconsciously, and soon realized something, his expression froze.

"Urine?"

"Ah."

Ember nodded silently.

"Ok."

Earl Hall smiled bitterly, "I don't think I would ever want to try such a dangerous thing in my life."

Then, Earl Hall asked curiously, "I have a certain understanding of the coldness in Winter County, but what do you mean by not being cold? Could it be that people in Winter County are more resistant to freezing?" ?”

"Mr. Earl, this is a very simple question."

Ember sighed, and pointed to the fireplace on the right side of the living room.

"All right,"

Earl Hall was dumbfounded, and shook his head with a wry smile, "It seems that I asked a stupid question."

Unknowingly, because of this teasing conversation, the relationship between the two has become much closer.

At the same time, Earl Hall also confirmed one thing in his heart.

Although Ember's information is somewhat hidden, at least there should be no falsehood that he is from Cold Winter County.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for outsiders to understand these local stories, or accidents, in Lindong County in such detail.

of course.

What Earl Hall didn't know was that Ember himself didn't even know if there were such sad stories in Wintershire.

He just made it up based on the few memory fragments in his mind.

He didn't even know that Ember's so-called private channel was referring to Archbishop Anthony of the Church of Evernight.

　ps: The progress of these chapters is a bit slow. To put it bluntly, it is water.

　　This is not because of the crazy irrigation during the free period, but because I just released the book (during the National Day) when I wrote these chapters.

　　First of all, there are too many things to do during the National Day, just to be a guest, I have to go to six houses within 7 days of the National Day, four get married, one has a full moon and one has a birthday, it is really too busy.

　　Secondly, it was the first time I wrote a book at the starting point and didn't understand the rules. I didn't know that the starting point was to invest in internally, so I posted it after a few blind spots.

　　Then because I saw that I had sent [-] to [-] words and still didn't sign a contract, I thought I had sent it. (The fact is that the starting point editor is on holiday during the National Day).

　　Therefore, the chapters written in those few days were somewhat watery, and readers please forgive me.

　　But you can rest assured that it will be restored later. (After all, I signed the contract after the National Day, and I wrote it smoothly with my heart in mind.)
