After sending Victoria away, Alyssa sat back on the armrest.

"What's the matter, Grandpa Victor? If you don't like Sister Tori's barren figure, how about mother Irena? In my memory, you and her can be called the adoptive parents of my sister and me."

The girl still had that smile, but no one could guess how much malice was hidden behind this seemingly harmless smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, my old bones can't stand such a toss."

Seeing the wary old knight in front of her, the girl put away her fake smile.

"You still have some eyesight. If I cast this set of spells on a mortal like you, at least it will make you lose yourself and lose your mind, or at worst, it will turn into a puddle of chaotic flesh that makes you vomit when you see it. Also, Don’t ask me how I know.”

Recalling the indescribable monster he encountered in Camden back then, Victor felt that the air became much colder.He unconsciously tightened the mattress on the rocking chair, and suddenly remembered the letter from yesterday.

"You have also received my letter, I know."

The girl spoke ahead of time as if she could read minds.

"Although I only mentioned the foul blood, that is, the unclean. But that's just an appetizer. This time, Mulhouse's problem is no less than that of Camden before."

"What's the matter? Someone wants to open the leap door again? Or is it some super weapon brought in?"

Alisa picked up two small steel balls from the small table next to her, and twirled them in her white and tender hands.

"It's unclear at the moment and further investigation is needed. However, various problems have been occurring around the world recently. I just solved one in Russia..."

Seeing the girl with a serious expression that was very inconsistent with her childish little face, Victor couldn't help imitating Victoria and pinching her face.

"I just left Yeka three days ago...what are you doing?"

Alisa slapped Victor's hand down with a snap, and stared at him with an angry look.

"Why, Victoria can't pinch me anymore?"

"I'll think about it if you become a beautiful girl."

"whispering sound"

Victor grumbled disdainfully, and took the steel ball from the girl's hand.

"In short, the world is becoming unstable, and Mulhouse may be the next 'singularity'."

"Then I really need to exercise my old bones. Let's practice with the unclean one in the evening."

Looking at the girl who was practicing shooting in the distance, Victor suddenly had a bad feeling

"What about Victoria?"

"We can protect her, and take advantage of this crisis to see what you can teach her..."

"No, I promised to bring her up."

"Isn't she an adult now?"

"Then she is still a child. I have been in the church for ten years when the warp gate crisis occurred, and Krupper, Bardeen, Sienna and Kai Ruilian helped. In this way, we are all quite a few If you were not in danger, we probably would have died so many times.”

"Yes, so you also know that as long as I'm here, Tori will be fine."

"... No, I can't trust you. By the way, Rona, where is Franz Rona?"

"Old Rona, he has another saloon in Paris. Why, you want to send her to the old saloonkeeper?"

"Well, for my sake, Rona should take her in."

"Well, anyway, she is your goddaughter, you have the final say. But Rona seems to be as old as you and forced to retire. He heard the information about Mulhouse by chance."

Alisa spread her hands, and didn't seem to care much about this matter.However, Victor's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as if he was still not at ease.

"Tori, pay attention. What I am going to teach you next is the most useful move of our order in actual combat."

Victor still decided to teach her his secret knowledge.

"Victoria, look carefully, this may be a technique you will use to save your life in the future."

While Victor silently recited the Gospel in Latin in his heart, he aimed the short musket in his hand at a target not far away.The last time he used this trick was when he killed Victoria's biological father 18 years ago, but now he has experienced that divine power again.

"DeusVult!"

Victor felt that the power that had just filled his body was released with this blow.As the bullet penetrated the straw target, he felt a familiar feeling of emptiness. Victor understood that this was a normal aftereffect.

"clap clap"

Alyssa next to her looked at Victor with a pleased expression.In her eyes, the white-haired old man seemed to still have the shadow of the powerful knight and ruthless witch hunter 23 years ago.

Victor soon found out that Victoria was winking with Alisa again, and couldn't help being a little annoyed

"Victoria, listen!"

Victor reminded loudly, Victoria shrank back like a frightened owl, and turned to look at him.This made Victor feel that he seemed to have gone too far, and had to quickly find a sentence to cover it up.

"Ahem, I'm just used to shouting this slogan, you don't need to learn it. But there should be one thing in common."

Victor carefully hung the Cross of Lorraine on the side table around Victoria's neck.

This is a small prop he found in the Calvin Chapel in Geneva a long time ago.However, due to the delicate relationship between the French Reformed Church and the Calvin Chapel, Victor hadn't found any good opportunities to give it to her before.

"Wearing this and praying while shooting will allow you to use this powerful shot. Would you like to try it?"

Victor slowly walked back to his rocking chair, feeling very entangled in his heart.

On the one hand, he hopes that Victoria will quickly master this skill, so that she will be able to protect herself even if she encounters a more powerful enemy when she is in Paris in the future.At the same time, he didn't want Victoria to learn this ability immediately, after all, the white-haired girl standing next to her was not a very kind person.When they were in Camden, it was because they were targeted by her that Victor and his party were ordered to die, although from another perspective, Victor might have died long ago without her.

Seeing that the blond girl closed her eyes and her body glowed with a faint white light, Victor knew that his calculation must be wrong.Sure enough, the girl's shot accurately penetrated the bull's-eye of the haystack, and the penetration power was almost as good as Victor himself.

"I didn't expect her to be so talented..."

Victor muttered to himself, looking at Victoria who turned her head and looked at him curiously, Victor waved his hand:

"It's okay, you can practice for a while."

Victor, who was paralyzed on the chair, no longer had the leisure to rock his rocking chair anymore. Instead, Alisa slowly twisted her body to make the chair rock again.

"A qualified heir."

The white-haired girl was quite satisfied with Victoria's performance.Victor looked a little unhappy.

"Don't mess with her, Olesia. ...I have been left here by the cult and you for so long, and she is my only support."

Victor originally wanted to use sarcasm or threats to make the wizard submit, but since his ability was no longer as good as before, he could only humbly beg her to let Victoria go for his own sake.

"Oh yes, old Victor?"

Alisa was unmoved by this, she just smiled and did not answer Victor's request directly.But she immediately put away that smile again.

"There is something wrong with this little girl's spirit. She has gone too far. Salzpyre, did you forget to tell her that this skill cannot be used forever."

"Damn, I'm really getting old."

Just when Victor was about to sound a reminder, the girl next to him took the lead and said

"It's getting late, Sister Toli, didn't you say you still want to take me to the bathing place?"

Victoria quickly returned to normal from her abnormal state, looking a little tired.

"Huh? Oh, yes. Why did I forget about this?"

As she spoke, she was about to put the short musket in her hand back on the shelf.But Victor, who couldn't trust Alisa a little bit, immediately stood up and stopped her.

"Take it, and the rapier next to it. I don't have anything to teach you. Remember to practice when you are alone."

"What? It's like I won't see you again."

Victoria, who had been obsessed with practicing, naturally didn't know that her future had been arranged. She smiled relaxedly, then picked up the rapier and put it on her body.

"See you later, Victor."

"Well, see you later..."

……

Since Mulhouse shares a train station with several nearby towns, Victor spent a lot of effort and even used the Bridge of Shadows teleportation array set up decades ago to barely buy a train ticket before the staff got off work.Although the railway companies in Alsace and Lorraine have not yet been nationalized, and even the railway tracks used are not of the same standard as those in France, tickets to Paris can always be bought.

Just when Victor had finally lined up to buy the ticket to Paris tomorrow morning and was about to walk back, a small figure holding a piece of paper popped out at his feet.Victor knew that this was a tool used by Olesia to convey information to them, but he didn't know why its figure was always blurred like a mosaic.Even if Krupper had asked her before, she only got a reply of "This is for your spiritual sake, please don't ask more."

Victor opened the folded paper and wrote:

"Dear Grandpa Victor,

Sister Tori and I have already come out of the bathhouse. Please rush to No. 10 Cangelsang Street in the Uptown District as soon as possible to deal with a man named Charlie. Otherwise, I will take Sister Tori to deal with it.

love you most

Alyssa. "

"damn it."

Victor cursed secretly, put the paper into his coat, and hurried to the nearest bridge of shadows.Unfortunately, when he came out to buy tickets, he only brought a musket for self-defense, which meant that he had to go to the small house in the upper city to get his spare flail and the remaining 10 short muskets before he could dispose of them. charlie.

When he was finally ready, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.Hearing the thunder, Victor suddenly had a very bad feeling.He quickly stopped a carriage on the road that was about to go home to take shelter from the rain.

"Quickly, go to Kangersang Street in the Lower Town."

"But it's going to rain soon, and it's the suburbs..."

"I'll give you more money, go!"

Hearing these words, the groom reluctantly drove his horse to the north.

Along the way, Victor held his Maltese cross and prayed for Victoria.When he got out of the car, he saw a very clean ground, as if nothing had happened, and the big stone in his heart finally let go of half.When he was about to knock on the door of the hut, he suddenly found that the door was open, and there was no one in the room.Victor had to come out of the house first after the inspection was fruitless.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a short musket on the ground.He had just picked up the musket, when the air in front of him suddenly twisted, revealing a hideous corpse with a stabbing sword stuck in its neck.When Victor pulled out the rapier, he found a string of words written in blood next to it:

"Deal with him"

Despite his premonition, Victor still felt that his heart began to bleed as if he had been stabbed.While he kept comforting himself that Victoria was fine, he tremblingly took out the old mark from his chest that he didn't know how many years ago, and burned the body until no ashes were left.After confirming that there were no traces at the scene, Victor took his bayonet and musket and hurried to the church.

...back to the evening

"Who told you to come too late, Victor."

The girl who was still awake remained calm, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

"You bastard, heretic who deserves to go to hell..."

Victor couldn't help swearing all the obscenities he could in his life.But the girl on the bench didn't seem to hear it, and even gently pressed her slender fingers into Victoria's ears.When Victor finally couldn't think of what to scold, Alisa let go of her hand and responded:
