"What's the hurry?"
Medici was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed. Mr. A was not seen in the room. \b!i·q¢i¨z*w¨w?.*c^o!m¨
"Hey, you were only Sequence 7 when I last saw you. How come you're already Sequence 5 so quickly?"
Medici grinned, "Then you better be careful and keep your tail between your legs. A little crow might jump out from somewhere and eat you in one gulp."
I know that Amon likes to eat the Thief Path, but is He also interested in the Apprentice Path?
Priscilla was happy when she saw Edward: "Brother Edward, they are getting more and more excessive. It's so boring for me to stay here every day." She soon saw Lilith, "Ah! Lilith, you are here!"
She ran forward and took Lilith from Edward.
Medi Qiwen's eyes widened immediately, and he slapped his thigh and laughed, "Hahahaha, you are so bold! Even though Lilith has been dead for thousands of years, her vampire descendants are still alive and well. You gave your cat this name, it's really a naked provocation! Hahahaha! I really like you more and more. When I am promoted to Sequence 0 in the future, I will definitely let you be my Pope!"
"…"
Edward cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Medici, for your appreciation." He glanced at Priscilla who was playing with Lilith and asked, "Why do you want Priscilla to stay here?"
Medici folded his arms and snorted, "It's to prevent her from luring the immortal witch from the Chick family here. What the hell does this little girl know!"
Medici also knew that Katerina came to Backlund?
In the original book, he could make Katarina obedient through bluffing, so why is he afraid of her now?
Medici slammed the table and stood up: "Hey, what's with your eyes? If it weren't for this little bitch, would I have to hide here?"
"Has the Witch Church contacted the Aurora Society?"
"certainly."
He raised his eyebrows. "Heh, their demands are the same as before. They want the Aurora Society to make a big move in Backlund, including but not limited to making my Lord descend."
"You refuse?"
"That's not the case. What do you think of me?"
Medici snorted, "But that depends on how sincere they are."
He laughed in anger when he said this, "Do you know what the 'reward' they gave to that idiot Mr. A was? To cancel the wanted list for the Aurora Society, and then to publicize the 'great achievements' of the Aurora Society in the newspapers."
"Fuck you idiot!"
He couldn't help but swear.
"So what you want is..."
"Hey, whatever Chick wants, I want."
"They agreed?"
"How is that possible?"
Medici's tone suddenly became calm. "But if those idiots want to succeed, they can't do without the help of the Aurora Society. Now it's just a matter of wrangling. Negotiations, of course, are a mixture of advances and retreats. We have to take it step by step."
Edward then asked, "I'm actually very curious. Didn't you just escape not long ago? Why do the outside world know so much about it? Did the Lord tell you?"
"Him? He seems to be even crazier recently than before I got out of trouble. I naturally have my own channels and connections, so you don't have to worry about it." After a pause, his eyes narrowed suddenly, "It's you who knows so much, so you're more suspicious."
Edward thought about it seriously and said, "Me? I also have my own channels and connections, so you don't have to worry about that."
"…"
Medici laughed again, "Great! That's wonderful! I will definitely introduce you to the little crow someday!"
"Thank you very much."
He waved his hand at this time: "Okay, enough of the nonsense, just tell me why you came here."
"A friend of mine is missing. He is a detective. While investigating a case, he was suspected to be involved in an incident involving the royal family and the witch sect."
"Oh, then he's dead."
Edward shook his head. "He is not dead. He is just trapped in an unknown place that cannot be divined or located with special seals. I came here to ask you, who do you think is responsible for this?"
"Isn't it just creating a space independent of reality and adding some anti-divination effects? It's not a very powerful ability. Besides, considering the plans of the Loen royal family, it's normal for some people to disappear."
Medici said casually, "Besides, this is the territory of the Night. If He wants to hide somewhere, does He need to notify you?"
When he said this, Edward was stunned: No way, Klein was sent to that church in advance by the goddess?
That doesn't make sense. Isn't it just tracking down Barron?
Wait, could it be that he really found out about the mausoleum built by George III, and then the goddess threw him there out of protectiveness?
If that's true...it's not a bad outcome.
But as far as I can remember, there didn't seem to be much wind or snow there?
Oh, it seems that there is no need to expect any more information from Medici.
Edward rubbed his temples. "Mr. Medici, if... the other party agrees to your request, do you really intend to let the Lord descend? What I mean is, the Lord is like this now, it seems that he fell into madness step by step because he lost his anchor in the Four Emperors War. If Aurora continues to do this, His condition will only get worse and worse."
Medici glanced at him and said indifferently: "That's a high-sounding statement, but you just don't want any 'innocent people' to die because of this, right?"
"...Yes."
He snorted: "What if I say no, are you going to fight me?"
Edward laughed: "How dare I? We are a family. Why can't we talk it out? How can we resort to violence?"
"whispering sound."
Medici was disdainful: "Ridiculous human nature."
He stretched his body and said, "This time, the Aurora Society is targeting the Beyonders of the Church. As for me, I don't want those ordinary people to die so worthlessly..."
"Hey, it would be great if you could stay here and be used as cannon fodder when I start a war. It would be considered as making good use of waste, right?"
At this point he laughed maliciously: "Heh, instead of worrying about the Aurora Society, you should pay more attention to those witches under Chick. They...are the ones who really want to go on a killing spree."
"Don't you care about the lives of ordinary people? If you have the ability, go and stop them."
Edward said seriously, "Do your best. Then I'll withdraw first. Lilith is leaving."
"Here I come~"
"Puff!"
Medici couldn't help laughing again: "When this is over, let's take your cat to visit the vampires. It will be fun."
"…"
My relationship with the vampires is very good now!
Priscilla pouted her lips at this time, "Leaving so soon?"
Edward hesitated for a moment, walked forward and touched her head, then took a half step back into the spirit world and disappeared.
Medici looked at the upside-down cross on the wall and smiled softly:
"Oh, human nature."
...
Hugh and Forsythe's rental house in Cherwood.
Xio sat anxiously on the sofa, looking out the window at the street from time to time, but every time he looked, his anxiety deepened.
Fors has been missing for almost a day!
The night before yesterday she suddenly had a burst of inspiration and stayed up all night, speeding up the progress of the novel by a large margin. The price she paid was that she almost never stopped smoking.
Early yesterday morning, she said hello to Xio and went out to buy cigarettes. She had agreed to come back to discuss the letter, but Fors never came back.
At the time, Xio thought she was using this method to delay, so he didn't think much about it and went out as usual.
But when Xio came back at eight o'clock in the evening, he found the house was dark - Fors had never come back since he left in the morning.
For most adults, staying out all night was not a big deal, but Fors was different. She would never sit if she could lie down, never stand if she could sit, and never step out of the house if she could stay at home.
At least since the two of them met, Fors had never disappeared without a word.
In the early morning, Xio finally gave up her fantasy. She ignored the fatigue from a day's running around and hurried into the darkness. She wanted to find someone from MI9 for help:
"Fors...where have you been?"
Chapter 327 Dunn's Investigation Results
Snow town.
Outside the town, the cold wind blew up the snowflakes, dyeing the whole world silver-white.
The town is shaded by green trees and filled with blooming flowers, forming a sharp contrast with the bleakness outside.
"Gu~"
Klein rubbed his belly. The hunger in his stomach made him more and more uncomfortable. He hadn't eaten for a long time. If his physical fitness had not improved a lot after he was promoted to a magician, he would have collapsed long ago with his physical condition when he first traveled through time.
He forced himself to look away from the table more than ten meters away - there was a large table full of sumptuous dinner waiting for others to enjoy.
But he didn't dare to eat it.
Because the yellow crystal hanging on the finger was spinning clockwise at high speed, and each circle emphasized the dangerousness of the food on the table.
Fors held a cigarette in her hand, sniffed it hard under her nose, and then reluctantly put it back into the cigarette box. This was her last cigarette, and as long as it stayed in the cigarette box, at least there was hope.
"It's getting dark soon, so we can only stop here for today."
She looked up at the red setting sun in the sky and felt upset. She missed the days of lying on the sofa in a daze every day. The amount of exercise she had done in the past few days was almost as much as she had done in several months.
In this strange town, although everyone has a creepy smile on their face, at least during the day there is a feeling of peace and happiness. Once it gets dark, the residents will turn into scaly monsters and start hunting them down.
Some of these monsters look like scaly hyenas, some look like fish monsters crawling out from the bottom of the sea, some look like scaly mud, and some look like giant lizards.
On the first night, the two men were chased by the monster and only lasted less than half an hour before being torn to pieces - in other words, they all died.
But here, death does not mean real death, but the loss of part of the memory.
Fors was fine, as her childhood memories were a little fuzzy, but Klein had already begun to forget what happened before his "crossing", which undoubtedly terrified him.
He immediately summoned Mr. Azik's messenger for help, but failed.
The messenger who summoned Edward also did not respond.
