Wrapped in a nightgown and returning to the study, the invitation letter signed by Fittili Hage on the wooden table made Ella feel a little better.
She was thinking about how she could get a little blood from the other party, and this opportunity came so cleverly.If successful, Ayla will be able to retrieve the Eye of Hermes from Demetrius.
The purpose of Fittili's invitation to her was by no means pure hunting. She recalled that gentleman's temptation in the St. Louis Public Hospital.Maybe this time the invitation is their official meeting.
Chapter 23 Different Interpretations
During this period of time, Ella has roughly read through the "Book of Nod". Except for those incomprehensible incantations, she is confident that she has not missed any information.
In addition to recording the history of the blood race, the "Book of Nod" includes poetry, precepts, prophecies and even philosophy.Complicated incantations and the unique magic of the foul blood are mixed in it.
But apart from the initial description in the book, she has never been able to find any information related to the "Land of Nod".
After Cain was exiled into the Lightless Lands, the Witch Lilith soothed him with a tenderness that could see all darkness.
Ella felt that this description had a lot of problems, whether it was the sudden appearance of the witch Lilith or the description of "seeing everything", she felt very awkward.
She put down this tome of dirty vampires and took out the second book she got from Demetri Dalton.
To be honest, Ira actually wronged the old alchemist, and this manuscript of the ancient Hebrew Bible is quite rare.As a classic of Judaism, this is a pagan book in the Catholic area, and if it encounters fanatic religious elements, it will even cause a lot of trouble.
Ella had only been exposed to Hebrew in Kraft for a while, but it was not difficult to decipher the content.With the thinking ability of this newborn body, it wouldn't take long to master a brand new language.
She found that starting from Chapter 4 of "Genesis", the content here began to be very similar to the Book of Nod, so Ella spread the two stories on the table for comparison.
They record the same legend, but with different perspectives and interpretations.
In the record of the Book of Nod, that is the distant memory of Cain in the primeval times.
Cain, the newborn, with a sharp weapon in his hand, sowed black seeds, watered them and tended them to grow.
Abel, the second born, took care of the livestock, assisted in their delivery, fed and raised them.
On the day of the first consecration, they burned their harvest on the altar of the Father, and the rising smoke dedicated the sacrifice to the superior.
He praised Abel's sacrifice, but regarded Cain's harvest as dross.
......
In Cain's prayers day and night, the day of consecration came again.
On the day of the second consecration, Abel put his most precious and favorite things on the altar flame.
Cain did not bring his most precious things because he knew God had no need for them.
Cain's brother, Abel, whom he loved most, advised him that he should give the best of what pleased him to the superior.
This paragraph of text became a little fuzzy, as if stained with some stains, Ella read it word by word.
The original text is as follows:
"I cried bitterly, wept because of love, and used a sharp weapon to sacrifice my joy—Abel."
She was silent for a few seconds and began to adjust her state.The terrible spiritual pollution is hidden in this short text, which is not the original intention of the scribe, but the despair and distorted negative emotions are left behind.
After closing her eyes for a few seconds, Ella suppressed her mental pollution and began to compare this part of the Hebrew Bible.
Unlike the Book of Nod, Cain in Chapter 4 of Genesis killed his brother out of jealousy and was exiled for it.This reading places more emphasis on his crime and his punishment.
Ella quickly followed this lead to the second lead she wanted.The superiors sympathized with Adam and Eve's pain of bereavement, and as Abel's substitute, God gave Seth to the original father as the third son.
For magicians, "Adam" is not only the original human being, but also the dividing line of the age of gods. When Abel died and Cain was organized, the third son undoubtedly retained the purest bloodline of the superior.
Ella recorded this new clue in her notebook, and she guessed that Seth's blood was most likely pointing to the uncontaminated blood of God.
But even so, the information she received was still insufficient, so it was particularly important to establish a relationship with Fitili Hajie, who was suspected of being a dirty blood.
The bell rang softly, and Ella motioned for Anna to come in.
The maid brought a cup of coffee and exquisite food,
"Miss Famini and the others are back."
Ella nodded to indicate that she knew, in her vision, the other two were indeed in this building.The current time is eight o'clock in the evening. Regardless of whether they are the killer or not, Ella hopes that they will be in her sight during this time period. This is for the safety of the innocent and for herself.

"Shadow, Ira has a letter!"
The lady doll turned over on the sofa, and turned her back to the short-haired girl who hurried into the lounge.
"Got it, got it... You've shown off eight hundred times, what did your little lover say?"
Ling didn't care about Shadow's teasing, and forcibly turned the other person's body around.
"There are some things I want to discuss with you. Dolls don't need to sleep?"
Shadow sat up dissatisfied. She poured herself a cup of black tea. After adding four or five cubes of sugar, she protested:
"You can't deprive me of my right to sleep just because I don't need it. It's unreasonable. What's more, by your standards, I should be counted as an injured patient whose body has just recovered."
Because of the environment in which this letter was written, the letter paper was stained with some water stains. Shadow pinched the letter paper with the edges of two fingers and quickly scanned it.With merciless sarcasm:
"My original choice was really correct. If you want me to say, even if I put Ella Williams in a group of unlucky people, she is one of the most outstanding people. The neighbor is suspected of being a dirty blood, and I am wanted by the executor , out of the three servants hired at random, there is a murderer who knows magic... How unfortunate must it be to encounter so many coincidences?"
Ling sat on the sofa opposite the doll and poured himself a cup of black tea.
"Victoria Milusel, Val Farmini, who do you think is the hidden magician? You have always been very smart, and I would like to know your opinion."
"It's useless for you to compliment me. The information she provided is too little to draw an absolutely correct conclusion."
"What about intuition? Who do you think has a problem?"
Ling asked, the existence of the shadow is very unique, her inspiration is better than most wizards, even if she only relies on intuition, she has a considerable accuracy rate.
Shadow sneered,
"Of course there is a problem with both of them."
Before Ling's face became even uglier, Shadow added:
"But you don't have to pay too much attention to it. Most of them won't be able to threaten your little lover. When a person is unlucky to a certain extent, it will not be so easy to die."
Ling thought she was joking, but the doll's face showed a rare seriousness.
Chapter 24 Iris Manor
"what does that mean?"
Ling noticed Shadow's seriousness.
"I still remember that Hyde was once affected by the side effects of alchemy props and became very unlucky for a period of time. You mean that Ella's situation is similar to his?"
"You're half right."
Shadow asked the waiter to bring some snacks. Once she was out of sleep, eating became her greatest pleasure again.
"Hyde's necklace...is it called the Mysterious Door? As the number of uses increases, the owner of the necklace gradually deepens his connection with the other world, and is therefore rejected by the material world. This phenomenon manifests itself as luck. Go bad."
"And Ella's situation is even more special. After leaving the dreamland and coming to the material world, she herself will be regarded as a foreign object in the space, and of course she will be more strongly repelled. Of course, this will happen as she and her body gradually develop. Run-in and weaken."
As she spoke, she scooped up a large piece of pudding with a spoon, held it in her mouth, and continued to explain indistinctly:
"But what I'm talking about is more than that, it's destiny."
"destiny?"
Shadow swallowed the pudding, and went back to the baked golden apple pie.
"Yes, this is a power that even Sibylla cannot fully control. Those who can use fate or make it slightly deflect are all the greatest wizards... In this kind of elusive, yet as if... In front of the power of the rushing river, everything else is just a trifle."
"You mean to say that you have glimpsed Ella's fate?"
Ling frowned and put down the knife and fork.
"Yes, I have glimpsed some fragments of the future in Sibylla's treasure room, even if it has shifted a little bit. As I said...in the case of a certain degree of bad luck, instead It's not that easy to die."
"You don't need to keep asking, I won't continue this topic... It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. In fact, it doesn't matter to you. No matter what it is, you will face it together like idiots, right?"
Shadow poured the milk into the black tea and stirred it with a silver spoon. A small vortex formed in the bone china cup.
"Let's not talk about this. The rest of the matter will take a few days. We can go to Paris next weekend at the most. The specific problems can only be dealt with at the scene."
Ling nodded.
-
No abnormalities have occurred during these two days, or it can be said that the abnormalities have not been discovered.
The contents of the newspapers returned to the mockery and sarcasm of Baron Haussmann, and the frequent serial murders seemed to have finally come to an end. Although the taxpayers could not help but insult and satirize the incompetent police, the streets of Paris finally recovered a little bit of life .
Ella knew that this was mostly due to the martial law enforced by the executors, so that the killer couldn't find a chance to do it.She was a little more cautious in her actions, but otherwise, the stability of the situation was a comfortable change for her.
Ella sold alchemy potions worth fifty louis to the unofficial wizards' gathering in the past two days. Even after removing materials and unnecessary losses, her profit was more than [-]%.But this is only a short-term benefit. If she injects a large amount of magical medicine into the party, even if she is not targeted by the executor, the demand for medicine by the party members will gradually decrease.
In addition to going to the theater every afternoon, Ella will go to the shooting club to practice using a shotgun in her spare time. This new body is very coordinated. After a few tries, it will naturally make almost invisible precision. Adjust it like a veteran who is familiar with firearms.
After just a few rounds of trying to shoot, Ella was able to stably score above eight rings.This made Anai feel very at ease. It seemed that his employer was just as he said, he was a proficient shooter. In her eyes, Champs Elysées NO.30 became very safe.
Wednesday was approaching in a blink of an eye, and at the invitation of Fittily Hager, Ella rented a very spacious carriage, followed the map on the invitation letter, and instructed the driver to go to the Iris Manor in the eastern suburbs of Paris.
The manor named after the iris is located on a small island in the lake near the north bank of the Seine River. The environment is quiet and beautiful, with good lighting, which is very suitable for plant growth.
In addition to the famous vetiver and iris, it is also a famous winery in Paris. The price of such a manor will not be less than 100 million francs, and only a rich man like Hajie can own a winery of this scale in Paris. manor.
It takes more than two hours to travel by horse-drawn carriage from downtown Paris to Eyres Manor
The night before, there had been showers around Paris, and the road became somewhat muddy after the carriage left the main road.
But the air in the suburbs has also become very fresh. The smell of soil after the rain is mixed with the fragrance of grass and flowers, shining brightly in the sun.
Under the bright sunshine, Ayres Manor welcomes its guests today.Ella's hired carriage passed sculptures and a small fountain surrounded by flowers, and pulled up in front of the carved main entrance.
Apart from looking a little pale, Fitili Haj has made a full recovery.In fact, his face has always lacked color. After Ella suspected that he was a dirty blood, this feature became even more impossible to ignore.
"Yosef, it's so nice to meet you and the beautiful ladies."
Fitili came up to him.
"Is your body alright?"
