It's simply amazing. ! 5¨4?墈/book′ *First\release?
"We had dinner together afterwards."
Audrey laughed non-stop. "But you should be able to imagine the atmosphere at that time. Fortunately, after the meal, Fors and Mr. Dorian still exchanged contact information. After that, I think... I will probably contact each other occasionally."
At this point, she suddenly became curious and asked, "In the 'future' you saw, is Fors like this too?"
"No... Her first meeting with Dorian was probably quite pleasant. After a period of contact, Dorian accepted Fors as his disciple."
Audrey covered her mouth in surprise and asked, "So... Fors beat up her future teacher?"
"After all this, it seems that there is no longer any fate between them as master and apprentice."
"Ah, that's a huge loss for Miss Fors."
That's right. With Dorian as her teacher and the Abraham family as her backing, Fors was almost guaranteed to become an angel. Now it's difficult.
"That's right."
Audrey remembered something. "Didn't you say that the secret saint Butis, whom you hunted before, was a traitor to the Abraham family? You also told me that you could use its head to exchange for something from the Abraham family."
"It's not just Butis's head, what's more valuable is the seal of the Box of the Old Ones."
Edward replied, "But the Abraham family has been through so many years that they feel a little nervous. If I really go to them with these two things, it will only arouse their vigilance..."
In the original book, Dorian was almost scared away by Fors, but at that time he already trusted Fors very much, so after some psychological struggle, Dorian took poison in advance and gambled with his life.
From a reader's perspective, Dorian's actions may be a bit redundant, but many times, you don't understand others simply because you have not experienced what they have experienced, and naturally you cannot empathize with them.
"Huh?"
Just as he was thinking about this, Edward was suddenly startled. "Lawrence mentioned before that if I found the reason why Christine was resurrected, I would ask her to take me to find a friend of his to get the formula for the subsequent apprenticeship path. That friend... could it be Dorian?"
If that's the case, then Dorian should have heard of me a long time ago and perhaps wouldn't be so wary of me?
Well, we can ask Fors to ask indirectly.
Audrey suddenly asked, "By the way, how could you bear to let Lilith go out on this 'adventure' alone? In my mind, you have always been the kind of person who would overprotect your loved ones and relatives under the pretext of 'for your own good'!"
"Well..."
Edward was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I always let Phoenix stay with Lilith."
"That's also a kind of progress~"
"What you said makes me sound like some stereotypical feudal patriarch."
Audrey narrowed her eyes, "What do you think?"
"Hey! At the Tarot meeting two days ago, you said that you met with people from the Psychological Alchemy Society again?" Edward quickly changed the subject.
"Yeah, that's right."
Audrey nodded, looking a little hesitant. "That Miss Adele... is very strange. She seems to treat me as her assistant now. In the matter of rebuilding the Backlund Psychological Alchemy Society, she gave me the general direction and left the rest to me."
Edward was surprised: "So, you are now the actual person in charge of the Backlund Psychological Alchemy Society?"
"The one in power? Including me and Adele, the Psychological Alchemy Society only has three and a half members in Backlund. The other half is Grallint who is still in the probation period..."
"I have no idea what she's trying to do."
Edward thought for a moment: "Could it be...she is just being lazy?"
"...Impossible? She is a demigod of the audience, and was sent to Backlund by the higher-ups to be entrusted with an important task!"
Edward said, "According to my understanding, in addition to the president, the Psychological Alchemy Society has a total of seven members of the jury. Each member has a code name, namely Pride, Wrath, Envy, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony and Lust. If nothing unexpected happens, the Adele you mentioned is the member with the code name 'Sloth'."
"Although code names may not necessarily reflect their true personalities, it is not ruled out that they just happen to correspond."
Audrey suddenly realized: "So Adele, codenamed 'lazy', might really be a lazy person? This does fit my current impression of her. *欣/捖¢ \ ?榊/戦+ \已^发布\最新?咬+结-"
"Anyway, just take it as a reference. As I said before, be careful when interacting with people from the Psychological Alchemy Society!"
"clear!"
In fact, the Psychological Alchemy Society is a relatively loose academic organization most of the time. Most of the time, what a single member does only represents himself. But after all, Adam is standing behind it, so it is impossible not to be influenced by Him.
Now that Adam is "dead," what changes will occur in psychological alchemy?
Could the current behavior of "laziness" be related to Adam's "death"?
At this moment, Edward suddenly saw Audrey looking at him and smiling foolishly, so he tapped her forehead gently and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Audrey counted on her fingers and said, "It just occurred to me that the treasures Mr. Fool currently has in his hand, the Black Emperor Card, the Red Priest Card, the Poseidon Scepter, and the recent Tyrant Card, are either sacrificed to Him by you or are related to you. I think you are so amazing!"
Edward coughed and said, "...I just used my understanding of the future to seize some opportunities."
"But judging from the results, Mr. Fool's strength is gradually recovering, and the help you provided is the greatest. When one day he completely recovers his strength and saves the world, you will be the number one hero!"
Her words reminded Edward of what Adam said before he "died" - the reason he chose to die was to fight against the end of the world.
But why is this happening?
What changes have occurred in the "end of the world"?
Chapter 436: Admiral Amyrius won't blame me, right?
In an inconspicuous B&B in Bayam.
Roy King of the School of Life sat by the window with a glass of beer, drinking it while admiring the crimson moon tonight.
After weeks of fear, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief tonight.
Ever since he was entrusted by his teacher to get the dice, he has been worried. On the one hand, he was worried that the dice turning to a decimal would bring bad luck, and on the other hand, he was worried that other people who coveted the dice would catch him and snatch him away, so that he would disappoint his teacher's hopes.
Fortunately, after meeting the pirate named Alger, his luck had been good. The dice that tried every means to kill people never rolled less than 4 points, allowing him to spend a relatively relaxing time in Bayam safely - provided that he had no plan to take a passenger ship to Oravi Island.
Every time he walked to the dock, the dice would spin wildly, threatening to roll out a 1. At that time, Roy King also confirmed that the dice seal had its own consciousness!
Therefore, he could only wait for his disciple to arrive, and then give the dice to him to send to Oravi - not that he wanted to trick his disciple, but according to the instructions of fate, only his disciple could accomplish this task.
Today, Roy King finally succeeded in handing the dice to his disciple Darkwill. He finally unloaded the burden and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, it's worthy of being called Sonia Blood Wine. It tastes really good!"
He drank the bright red blood wine in one gulp and breathed a sigh of satisfaction. He no longer had to be afraid even if he was caught.
"Boom boom boom."
There was a knock on the door, and Roy King smiled and said, "Come in~"
The door creaked open and a fat figure walked in. He was wearing a black robe like a country witch doctor. He was about thirty years old, with black hair, brown eyes, a round face, and a chubby body. There was an owl with bulging eyes standing on his shoulder.
The moment he saw him, Roy King's eyes almost popped out: "Darkwill, why are you here?!"
The fat pharmacist scratched his head, a little confused: "Shouldn't I... come?"
"No, how did you find it?"
"I just passed by outside and saw you sitting at the window drinking, and then I came here."
Roy King: "…"
He then angrily said, "Didn't I tell you to get the things and go to Aolawei? Why did you come to me?"
The fat pharmacist muttered, "I went to the store you told me to go to. They rolled a dice and asked me for 10 gold coins. I was in a hurry to leave this time, so I didn't have so much money. You didn't say in the letter that you wanted to spend money." As he spoke, he glanced at the owl on his shoulder with a guilty conscience. All his money was used to train this owl.
Roy King breathed a sigh of relief: "So, you haven't got the dice yet?"
"certainly..."
The fat pharmacist laughed triumphantly, "No! Hahaha, who am I? I'm a senior pharmacist. I saw at a glance that the boss had kidney deficiency, so I took out a few pills and waived the 10 gold pounds!"
"Don't worry, old man. I have done what you asked me to do. He took out an exquisite jewelry box from his pocket. The dice is here!"
"!!!"
Roy King almost fainted from lack of breath. I...had finally handed it over to him, and you turned around and gave it back?
He snatched the jewelry box and opened it, and immediately saw that the dice in the box rolled a 6. No wonder... this kid found me so easily.
Click.
At this moment, the dice shook gently and flipped to one side, and the number on it changed from 6 to 2.
In an instant, Roy King's hair stood on end and he ran out.
The fat pharmacist looked confused: "What's wrong, old man?"
"If you don't want to die or get caught, run away with me! You've put me in a terrible situation this time."
As soon as the master and disciple ran out of the guesthouse, they ran into two soldiers on night patrol. The panicked look of the two immediately aroused their suspicion, and they immediately shouted, "Hey! You two stop and accept inspection."
Roy King didn't dare to stop and ran even faster.
"Stop! Both of you, stop!"
One soldier shouted, and another took out a whistle and blew a sharp sound.
Bayam's peace was broken.
...
In the Governor's Mansion.
The first night that Klein impersonated Admiral Amyrius was much calmer than he had imagined.
The admiral's mistress had been resting in her room because she was bitten by a rat, so he didn't need to worry about what to do. Secretary Lu Er'an only came to report on the progress of catching the rat, and didn't have much communication with Klein.
So Klein followed Amyrius's habit and slept in Fengyu Literature.
But then, trouble came.
The person who came was his secretary Lu Er'an. Compared to when I saw him not long ago, his hair was relatively messy. He must have gone to bed and was suddenly awakened by something urgent, so he didn't have time to take care of himself too carefully.
"Your Excellency the Admiral!"
Lu Er'an walked quickly into the study, "I found Roy King's trace!"
Roy King?
Who is this?
This question flashed through Klein's mind, and he soon remembered that the information left by Amyrius only mentioned that they were looking for this person recently, but did not say much else.
He nodded, "Where are the people?"
"…I lost him. The last place he was seen was Tulip Street. /Tian¨Xi`Xiao+said"
Klein said in a steady voice, "Keep looking."
"Yes, Your Excellency Admiral."
"I hope that the next time you come to me, it's to tell me that you've caught him."
"clear."
Klein waved his hand, and Luan left quickly.
After the blonde secretary walked away, he quickly walked back to the desk and dug out the information about Roy Jin: "Roy Jin, a member of the School of Life, is being arrested for being involved in some confidential matters."
As expected, the information left behind is very limited.
Klein only knew that the School of Life was an extraordinary organization with a long history, and that it was passed down through a master-apprentice system. He still remembered the fat pharmacist he met in Backlund who was kind but always bad at speaking, and he was suspected to be a member of this organization.
"I don't know why Amyrius wanted to arrest people from the School of Life. I hope I don't have to face this problem in the future, otherwise it will be easily exposed."
boom!!
Just then, a loud thunder was heard, followed by a strong wind blowing in through the window, rustling the pages of books in the study.
Klein frowned, and then he saw the door being pushed open with a bang. A tall and burly middle-aged man wearing a storm priest robe rushed in with an angry face, without restraining his violent aura at all.
"Admiral Amyrius!"
The middle-aged man asked coldly, "Why do you suddenly cancel the wanted warrant for Gehrman Sparrow?"
Klein quickly recalled the information about the man in front of him: the cardinal of the Church of Storms, the true ruler of the Extraordinary Realm of the Rorsted Islands, and the Saint Sea King Arne Cotman.
Of course, as Loen's admiral, Amyrius wouldn't really be afraid of him. After all, the two sides were not subordinate to each other, so Klein said calmly, "Sir Cortman, is it really necessary for you to come in person to cancel the wanted order?"
Courtman still asked in a cold voice: "Why do you want to cancel it?"
"I'm sorry, this is an internal matter of our Loen military. I don't need to ask for your consent, right?"
Kottman's hair and beard suddenly moved without wind, and a sense of oppression like a needle pricked his face, making it difficult for Klein to breathe.
But he just looked into the other's deep blue eyes calmly without saying a word.
"Very good! I hope you don't regret it!"
After a moment, Courtman squeezed out a word from between his teeth, then took a step forward and left again in the storm and lightning.
Klein let out a long breath: Didn't we say that as long as Amyrius stayed in the Governor's Mansion obediently, he would be safe?
It's only the first day, and you're already being threatened by a saint from the Church of the Storm?
Safety is bullshit!
By the way, did my behavior just now offend the saint on behalf of Admiral Amyrius?
He won't blame me, right?
...
The next morning, as soon as Edward woke up, he felt that the digestion progress of the potion had slowed down. It seemed that after several days of online classes, many people truly understood and digested the knowledge.
While Edward was happy that the potion was digested, he also felt a sense of accomplishment - as a teacher, the happiest thing was of course that students learned what he taught.
After breakfast, he was teleported directly to the port of Oravi Island through the spiritual world coordinates. Edward took out a cane and used the divination method: "Richaud's location."
The cane is tilted slightly, toward a majestic bell tower in the distance, painted in red, blue and yellow.
"Yes, in the original book, Klein and his companions seemed to have arrived at a clock tower first."
Edward took a step forward and appeared more than ten meters away from the bell tower. At this time, the cane changed direction again. This time he did not Apparate over, but followed the direction of the cane, bypassing the bell tower and walking towards a nearby stone bridge.
When they were still about forty or fifty meters away from the stone bridge, a slightly strange voice came: "Young man, if I were you, I would never go near that stone bridge..Zero point' read? book` `First/release~"
Edward looked back and saw an ugly man standing on the bell tower. He was wearing a black robe, with one leg obviously longer than the other, one arm thick and the other thin, and the whole man was extremely asymmetrical.
Asimov the bell ringer?
He is an "artificial man" created by the Mother Earth Church through the human body. I feel like this is a kind of bad taste of the original author, Squid Girl.
Edward took off his hat and greeted him: "Why, sir."
"Oh, that stone bridge is cursed. Anyone passing by will be unlucky. In the past two days, six unlucky people have broken their legs or fallen into the water and nearly drowned there."
In fact, this was because the councilman named "Richard" was injured, and his power became uncontrollable. Anyone who came within a certain range of him would be doomed.
"Thank you for your reminder. I will be careful."
Edward put his hat back on and walked towards the stone bridge.
The ugly bell ringer muttered, "Humph! Humans are always like this."
He did not continue to persuade him, but leaned on the railing of the bell tower, quietly staring at the boy, ready to see what kind of misfortune he would get into.
However, he soon saw that the young man did not walk onto the stone bridge, but walked straight towards the bridge hole below. He could not bear to watch any longer and hurriedly limped down: Is this kid looking for death? !
Edward didn't really rush into the bridge hole stupidly. Instead, he stopped a few meters away and asked, "Excuse me, is Councillor Richaud here?"
A hoarse voice came from the depths of the dark bridge tunnel, "It's me, who are you looking for?"
"Mr. Richoed, your Speaker asked me to come and get something from you."
The man in the bridge tunnel seemed a little surprised. He was silent for a moment and said hoarsely: "...You came too early. The thing has not fallen into my hands yet."
Chapter 437 Home... is gone
"Then Will...your Speaker asked me to come here to find you?"
A low, hoarse voice came from the bridge tunnel: "I don't know about that. Maybe the Speaker has his own plan."
Edward thought for a moment and asked, "Then do you know where that thing is now?"
"Go to Bayam and find Roy Jin. He is my disciple."
"How can I find him?"
"It depends on your luck."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Edward turned around and walked back. As soon as he reached the bridge, he saw the "artificial man" running towards him in a hurry. When he saw Edward walking out intact, he was obviously stunned and asked in surprise: "You...are okay?"
"Maybe I'm just lucky, but thank you for your reminder, sir."
The reason why Edward dared to walk towards the bridge hole was not because he was confident of his strength, but because Will had blessed him with good luck, so he could completely ignore the bad luck brought by Richoed. This was also the reason why he believed what Edward said so quickly.
"Good-bye, kind sir."
After he finished speaking, his figure became blurry and disappeared.
...
Bayam.
Edward walked on the road, trying to use the divining staff to find Roy King, but unfortunately the staff just stood straight, without any intention of leaning in any direction.
This is very abnormal.
Although Edward did not have any of Roy King's items, with Will's blessing of good luck, he could even find the demigod-level Senator Richoed, so Roy King was naturally no problem.
So, it was clearly the dice that was causing trouble.
He tried divination again to find the fat pharmacist's location, but still found nothing.
"Huh?"
Edward was a little surprised. The divination results for the master and apprentice were the same. Did that mean the dice didn't want me to find either of them?
Could it be that the fat pharmacist is with Roy King now?
This seems to be different from the situation in the original book.
Then they could only use the simplest method and mobilize the people of the Poseidon Cult and the resistance in Bayam to help search.
Then Edward came to the vicinity of the Governor's Mansion again. Like last time, he picked a man who was out on business, transformed into his appearance, and walked into the Governor's Mansion openly. In the original book, Roy King was captured by the Loen military and imprisoned here.
Unfortunately, after searching, Edward only learned that the military did learn of Roy King's whereabouts last night, but did not catch him.
The military has now blocked all ports and exits out of Bayam to prevent Roy Kim from escaping.
"Not in the Governor's Mansion either? Then where can they hide?"
Edward frowned and had a headache. Although Bayam was not as big as Backlund, it was at least equivalent to a county town. If divination was useless, it would not be easy to find two people.
"Hey, I hope the resistance guys can be more powerful."
...
Lilith lay at the door of the bedroom, looked around outside, and made sure that no one was there. Then she closed the door gently, tiptoed to the bed, and reached out her hand to grope under the bed.
Finally, she found a yellowed photo in the gap between the bed boards. It was the happy photo of a family of three that Isabella had shown her before.
Lilith frowned and stared at the photo carefully for a long time. She made sure she remembered the appearance of the man and woman in the photo before she planned to put the photo back.
At this moment, the door creaked open. "Lilith, it's time to eat. What are you doing?"
Lilith was startled and quickly put her hands behind her back, "Ms. Lilith didn't do anything."
Isabella giggled, "What are you hiding behind your back?"
"Nothing! Nothing at all!"
After saying that, she stretched out her right hand, showing her white palm, "Look."
"What about the left hand?"
Lilith immediately put her right hand back and stretched out her left hand, "Still nothing."
Isabella put her hands on her hips: "Put both hands out!"
"…"
Lilith puffed her lips and took out the photo, "This."
"Hey, what did I think?"
