It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

"Williams..."

Queen Enoch repeated it, and the fake breath mimicked paused for a few seconds.

"I haven't heard that surname in this castle for a long time."

"It's not a traditional surname of dirty blood, and Enoch didn't have a nobleman in his blood...but Norbert Williams wasn't really a pariah, as many people think .”

This statement may sound contradictory, but Ella did not interrupt the queen.

"How much do you know about our bloody clan?"

In the past few days in Enoch, Ella has heard more or less about this.

"The sons of Cain, the thirteen sons of Enoch, the ancestors of the thirteen clans."

The Queen nodded, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Most of the nobles now think so, but in fact there should only be twelve children. Among the thirteen clans, among the ancient nobles who are neutral factions, there is actually a name that did not belong to us at first. It's just this paragraph The history is so far away that not many people remember it."

"Cappadocia, the family of swords and staffs...it was not dirty blood that formed them at first, but a group of human black wizards."

The woman in a gorgeous palace dress calmly stated this fact that was enough to cause a storm in Enoch City.

"A human... dark wizard?"

Ella was taken aback.

The shadow of the candlestick shook violently a few times, pulling the black shadow on the wall into a hideous shape.

The queen said quietly, with an inexplicable sense of sarcasm in her tone.

"It was a group of lunatics, and the power of inheriting the blood of God still couldn't satisfy these greedy wizards. One day, these lunatics found this abandoned land. At that time, Nod was not as easy to survive as it is now, everywhere It is a curse and pollution that is enough to kill—and their purpose is to find these things that even we in Nod can't avoid."

"What did they do... no, why would they do it?"

Even though she asked, Ella felt as if she had already guessed the answer.But the answer confuses her even more.

"You seem to have guessed it, that's right, they rely on curses to transform themselves into filthy blood like us. As for the purpose...it's very simple, in order to prolong life and pursue eternal life."

This answer sounds a bit ridiculous. In terms of average lifespan, the filthy blood species don't even live as long as ordinary humans.Although they can use the method of deep sleep to prolong life, it doesn't seem to be better than death, and using this method to extend life is not even as good as the black magic used by some cultists.

"Sounds stupid, doesn't it? But these idiots have created a method to improve bloodlines, which is what we now call "communion".Borrowing this method, the group of black wizards quickly gained more power than the high-ranking dirty blood, and became the No. 13 clan. "

"And the inventor of "Holy Communion"—it was Nobold, he was one of those dark wizards. "

A chill emerged from the depths of Ira's heart, and he recalled what Fitili had said.The ethical relationship of the dirty blood species is different from that of human beings. In addition to the reproductive behavior, the two parties who perform the transformation ceremony can also be called the parents.The etymology of "Holy Communion" comes from an ancient religious act in which the father donates his body and blood to believers to help them escape from sin.The very nature of the Eucharist is the imitation of this act.

"That's the part I know."

The queen closed her eyes, and her figure slowly disappeared into the darkness, as if she didn't intend to say anything more.

While Ayla sat there for a long time, a thought inevitably arose in her heart—whether she absorbed the left eye left by Norberd during the rebirth ceremony, could it also be regarded as the "holy sacrament" of mutants? ?

Hyde and Ling were sitting in the bar at the boundary between the upper and lower towns of Enoch. This was a good place that Lucien had told them before leaving.His mission as the head of the envoy has been completed, Nod's current form of stability and danger has weakened a lot, and Lucien, who is not much better than ordinary people, is not suitable to stay here to endure the curse and pollution.

So he returned to the material world with his wizards and attendants at noon today. In his own words, "I am only responsible for the business negotiation and pathfinding stage. It is your job to maintain and keep the transaction going smoothly."

Ella met with the queen this afternoon, and they made an appointment to meet at this place, and it was getting close to evening, so Ella should be back soon.

"Why didn't you go back with Lucien and the others? Maybe there is some way in the Belusay family that can solve the problem of your blood being damaged."

Ling poured himself half a glass of sweet wine without blood.

"Beluse and Mephisto are the most staunch allies now. If the family really has this method, Lucien will still be like this?"

Hyde placed a horizontal wine box under his buttocks to reach Enoch's table which was higher than the outside world.

"I will only bring chaos if I rush back now, not to mention that there will be people from Belu Sai here after all."

He paused for a few seconds, then drank half a glass of wine under the bartender's awkward gaze.

"Also...I'm really not too worried about that guy Shadow."

The blond boy used his index finger and thumb to draw a space no bigger than a fingernail.

"It's only a small amount."

If it really only took a little bit, you wouldn't use the spirit-ascension ceremony. Ling cursed disdainfully, but rarely said anything.

She thought so, and then she saw the silver-haired girl walking through the gate. The latter's face didn't look very good.

"Ella, here."

Ling beckoned and comforted:

"It doesn't matter if the old woman really doesn't want to say anything, we can check it ourselves."

Ella was stunned for a moment before she realized what the other party had misunderstood, and touched her now empty little finger and ring finger with a complicated expression.

"Actually, Her Majesty has hardly concealed any information... It's just that the development of many things is somewhat beyond my expectation."

After experiencing a rebirth, Ayla has no intention of keeping any secrets in her heart.She talked about the latest information about Norbird Williams without reservation.

Listen, Hyde put down his wine glass, and he touched his bald chin, which is unlikely to grow a beard for a long time.

"Let's tidy it up...Nobold is actually an ancient dark wizard. He came to Nod in pursuit of longevity and achieved some results. This can indeed explain his weird lifespan."

Ling added:

"But this ancient black wizard was obviously a little compassionate. After completing part of the research, he turned his attention to ordinary people living in the wilderness. He opened up most of the current gathering places and was called the wilderness saint."

But she soon had another question and raised it right away,

"But this doesn't explain the existence of the Eye of Hermes. The era of Sibyl and the shadow is still too far away from that man... Unless Nobold was originally a dark wizard who survived more than 2000 years ago , but why does such a person need to use such a low-level method to continue life?"

Ella couldn't help feeling a sense of freshness. It turned out that after putting aside some concerns about her own existence, she could open up her heart and discuss the existence that is closely related to her.

She opened her mouth with an idea,

"Maybe we can change our thinking...Since Norbold's left eye can indeed allow me to borrow the magic power of the future, what ability does his right eye have? Is it possible to send a part of myself to the past ?”

The three were eerily quiet for a few seconds.Time magic has always been a taboo in the study of wizards. Indeed, there have been some great wizard scholars who tried to explore the power of time, but almost without exception, they did not end well.That is like an iron law made by the gods. Anyone who tries to explore the mystery of time will eventually fall into madness without warning, or simply die suddenly.

And those who claimed to have made major research breakthroughs also disappeared after speaking, as if falling into an invisible vortex.

"Let's count it as a possibility,,,,,, but let's sort out all the information first. After opening up a gathering place in the wilderness to a certain day four years ago in 110, Nobold returned to the material world and Under the pseudonym Norberd Hall, and admitted to Cambridge University?"

Hyde frowned.

"What's the matter with this dark wizard, who suddenly intends to believe in science after studying immortality for hundreds of years?"

Ling interrupted his meaningless nonsense,

"Anyway, this dark wizard who was transformed into a dirty blood and lived for hundreds of years only lived until 1760 AD after returning to the material world, and before he died, he saved a large sum of money for Ayla and asked the bank Regular remittances after 100 years. Professor Yusuf and others in the alliance have been divining his ashes, and we... have tested it in other ways, and he is indeed dead."

With that said, Ling glanced at Ella.

"Considering that Ella, you were not infected by Nod, so the time of your birth should be after Norberd returned to the material world."

She has completely ignored the fact that Ella may be hundreds of years old. Anyway, the latter has no memory of that time, so it is reasonable to continue to calculate according to normal youth.What's more, Ella's growth rate during Kraft was obviously in line with a girl of the same age.

Hyde spread his hands and said half-jokingly:

"In the future, it won't be some dark wizard who returns to the material world to fall in love with ordinary people, and then chooses a stage play script to die together, right?"

After his body was infantilized, Hyde's spirit was obviously also partially affected. The specific manifestation was that his suppression of the instinct to be beaten was obviously not as good as in the past.

"Don't move the brain from the skull into the stomach, Hyde, it can't be that strange development even if you think with your toenails."

Ling cursed, and twisted the former's head with two index finger knuckles.

"But if Norbird died ninety years ago... who on earth sent me to Uncle Henry?"

Ella ignored Hyde and said to herself.

Chapter 3 Clues to the past

"Who sent me to Uncle Henry?"

This question caused the three people present to fall into silence, and the matter seemed to go back to the original point.Ling, Hyde and the missing shadow, they have investigated in the past.But together with Henry himself, almost everything at that time was affected by a powerful confusion spell, and almost nothing real was preserved.

Ella was the first to break this silence, she shook her head as if she didn't care much,

"We don't need to worry about this kind of thing. The most important thing now is the shadow issue."

To be honest, no matter what the three guys said, the shadow's whereabouts are now unknown is the biggest reason why they are unwilling to leave Enoch.

Hyde raised his head and suddenly noticed Ella's relatively darker left eye.He opened his mouth as if remembering something,

"The old man in the wilderness told me before that Saint Nobold's right eye sees the past, and his left eye connects to the future. Now that his left eye can indeed work on you, why not try the right eye?"

"If it can indeed see the past, maybe we can find the whereabouts of the shadow!"

After a moment of silence, Ella took out a glass test tube wrapped in black cloth from her body, and the shriveled right eye was kept in a dry and clean environment.

"I've actually tried it, but unfortunately...I can't use it, or use it as easily as the left eye."

"why?"

Ling asked strangely, she had witnessed the whole rebirth ceremony, at least the Eye of Hermes became a part of Ayla without any rejection.

"Let me think about what to say..."

Ella tapped her left eye subconsciously,

"The Eye of Hermes was not just a simple "left eye" from the very beginning. This alchemy item made by Sibilla perfectly activated the material properties of the former, so all I have to do is to fully accept it. strength. "

"But the right eye is different. It is just a magic material in its original state, and its power has not been fully stimulated... Moreover, it feels a bit incomplete to me, as if it has been used roughly once."

Hyde took the glass test tube dumbfounded, and asked in disbelief,

"You mean...it's broken?"

"It can be understood like this...but it's not absolute. Maybe I can also find a way to activate its characteristics like the Eye of Hermes, but this is not an easy thing to do."

Ella explained.
