"Please tell me. What is the content of Baima Academy?"
"Well, please..."
Audrey hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Is Klein your and Benson's biological brother?"
Chapter 513 Doll
The past 1160 years.
On the third day after Roselle went out to sea, Bernadette could no longer hold back and asked Edward to take her to play with her father.
This time, she simply did not go through the three-part prayer, but ran to 28 Emerald Street and found Edward's home.
"Mr. Sparrow, take me there, take me there, just take me there."
In the garden, Bernadette held Edward's arm, rocking him gently and acting coquettishly.
Edward was holding a coffee cup in one hand and a video recorder in the other, recording Bernadette: Next time you see the mysterious queen who always looks calm and cool, show her this and see how she can still be so cool!
"What are you doing?"
Bernadette poked the video recorder with her finger and asked, "Like just now, you kept pointing it at me."
"Oh, it's okay, just continue."
"…"
Her blue eyes moved quickly, "Even if I don't go to find Dad, can you take me to see the mermaids? It's been a week since the last time I went there."
Her words reminded Edward.
For several nights after he saw the elementary school textbooks in the black monastery in his dream, Edward went to the God War Ruins for a few hours every day to try his luck.
Later, Akasha "assassinated" the Earl of Clear, and then a series of events happened. Edward did not go there for a while.
"How about this, you dance for me and I'll consider taking you there tonight."
"Dance?"
The little girl was stunned and scratched her head: "How to jump?"
It feels like being taken to a relative's house by your parents during Chinese New Year and asked to perform "talents".
"As you wish."
Bernadette looked around and made sure that there was no one around, then she started to "dance" by twisting her little butt. Edward accepted it all and took pictures of her.
Very good, very good!
These are all great black histories!
After a few minutes, Bernadette got tired of dancing and glared at him and said, "I'm done! Is that ok, Mr. Sparrow?"
"Good life is a reward!"
Edward waved his hand and said, "Let's go tonight."
"Yeah!"
At this time, Dubois came over with a strange expression on his face: "Why do I feel that...when Russell comes back, Bernadette will be closer to you than to him."
"No way!"
Bernadette immediately retorted.
DuBois shrugged and whispered, "Camellia."
"Okay, got it."
"What camellia?"
Bernadette asked curiously.
"secret."
"…"
Edward put away the VCR, handed the coffee cup to Dubois and said, "You can take it back to her."
"Take me with you, Mr. Sparrow!"
She quickly raised her hand and shouted.
"What what you want to go. \x\ia.o?s\hu?o!hu!a·n?g¢.^c?o′m,"
Edward flicked her forehead unhappily and walked away quickly.
As soon as he returned to the house, Edward was teleported to the Aurora Society base in the Noel District. He walked in and washed his hands skillfully. The servant brought him a dry towel and reported: "Mr. F, we have found relevant information about 'Tariq'."
"Tell me about it."
"He is a member of the Intis Palace's guards, but his position is a sinecure in the ceremonial team. He usually lives in the area of the palace reserved for guards, but I haven't found any information about his family."
"Is he an orphan?"
"No, it seems that most members of the palace guards are in this situation. They must be hiding it on purpose."
"Understood."
Edward nodded, "If you want to see him, where should you go... besides the palace."
"this..."
Boom boom boom.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Just as the two of them looked over, the door was pushed open and a man in knight's clothes walked in. He turned around and closed the door without any hurry, then walked over slowly: "Aurora Society? Mr. F?"
The servant's expression changed and he was about to speak, but Edward waved his hand to stop him, "Go down."
"yes."
Edward said as he watched the man in knight's uniform walk up to him and sit down opposite him, "What do you want from me?"
"Oh, weren't you looking for me? I thought you were here for something?"
The man in knight's uniform - Tariq said calmly.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and no one spoke.
Until Tariq spoke first:
"You are the one who killed Earl Clear?"
"That's right."
"Marcia hired you?"
"If you're talking about the woman who came here the other day, then maybe."
"Did she ask you to do anything else besides killing people?"
Edward smiled slightly. "I will not betray my employer."
Tariq nodded, "It seems that she asked you to do it."
Bang!
He suddenly reached out and took out a thick and large revolver, aiming it at Edward's head: "This bullet has been specially treated. If it hits the head at such a close distance, even a shepherd will be killed instantly."
"Now tell me, did Marcia ask you to get something from somewhere?"
"Where is the stuff?"
Looking at the muzzle of the gun so close, Edward smiled: "Your gun is very good..."
Bang!
The next second,
The thick muzzle of the gun was pressed against Tariq's head. Edward held the gun and said, "It's mine now."
Tariq's eyes sparkled, "You actually released the thieves?"
"[Degeneration]."
Ancient gears turned in Edward's eyes.
But this time an accident happened. The degradation effect did not cause Tariq's sequence to drop, but only made a sharp and abrasive friction sound that made people's teeth ache.
He suddenly stepped back to avoid it, threw a few coins casually, and ran towards the door.
This is the Reaper's deadly attack.
Edward dodged the coin with a flash and used [Steal] several times in a row in an attempt to steal the opponent's thoughts and abilities - but he failed again.
His first reaction was that it was impossible. If this Taric's sequence was really so high that [Degeneration] and [Stealing] were useless, would he still need to escape?
Meanwhile, Tariq had already broken open the door and escaped. It was noon, and there were many pedestrians passing by on the street, all looking over curiously.
Edward flashed and caught up, and the weeds and stones on the roadside quickly turned into chains and wrapped around the opponent, followed by a bolt of lightning that struck from the sky.
Tariq struggled to break free from the chains, rolled on the ground to avoid the thunder, then stood up and kicked the ground hard to fly out. At this moment, there was a "ding-dong" sound, and a screw fell out of his right leg.
Bang!
His right leg suddenly exploded and turned into various metal parts all over the ground, and his body, which had rushed out, lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground.
"Bang!"
In an instant, his body exploded and turned into metal, screws and various messy parts all over the ground. Only his head was still intact, rolling forward several meters along the road.
This scene shocked not only the passers-by but also Edward.
Only then did he realize why [Degeneration] did not cause the opponent to drop the sequence, and why [Steal] failed to steal the opponent's thoughts and abilities, because this Tariq was simply a "puppet"!
Fortunately, [Degeneration] does not distinguish between these, the puppet will be directly degenerated into some parts.
"Very good! I will remember you, Mr. F of the Aurora Society."
At this moment, Tariq's head made a difficult sound, and the expression in his pupils quickly dissipated. Then it exploded with a bang, and turned into screws, wax blocks, bones, springs, etc. all over the ground.
Edward stared at the mess on the floor for a moment, waved his wand, gathered them together and put them into a suitcase, then returned to the house.
"Mr. F, are you okay?" the attendant asked nervously. ~Xiao?Tax*Zhai-¨Chasing¢Crime.Xin¢Cockroach! Festival?
"fine."
Edward said calmly, "However, this base should no longer be usable. Let's move to another place."
"I see!"
Throwing the suitcase on the table, Edward fell into deep thought:
As for puppets and golems, the most professional one is the "Life Refinement" of Sequence 4 of the Church of Mother Earth, but the sequence corresponding to the path of the generalist can barely do it.
Just like Archbishop Horamick of Backlund in the future, in fact, most of the time he only uses the puppets he made to show himself to others, and no one knows where his real body is hiding.
Judging from the screws, metals, and springs all over the floor, it can be basically concluded that this Taric was created by the Path of the Universalist. In other words, he is most likely related to the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.
What is known is that Tariq is related to "Intis" of the Dusk Hermits. Could it be that... "Intis" is actually from the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery?
A few minutes later, Edward returned home, logged into Sephira Castle and began to divine: "The origin of this puppet."
He closed his eyes and quickly entered a hazy dream. A man wearing a white priest robe of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery and a clergyman's soft hat pointed at the motionless "Tariq" beside him and said, "Is this puppet ok?"
A young man in gorgeous clothes said respectfully, "Of course, thank you, Your Excellency the Saint."
"Are you sure you don't need me to inject 'soul' into it and turn it into a living being?"
"No need, Your Excellency the Saint."
The divination scene ends here.
"Hmm? The young man refused the Archbishop's offer to inject the doll with a 'soul', so how did it gain life?"
Perhaps the young man did not trust the archbishop, and found someone else to help him complete the last step.
Then new problems arise:
Who is the young man who appeared in the dream?
Edward felt like he was trapped in a Russian nesting doll, uncovering one after another, and after uncovering one, there was another one, making it really like he was investigating a case.
But in fact, the reason why he tracked down Intis all the way was, firstly, he regarded Intis as an imaginary enemy who was competing with Lilith for the Conqueror's extraordinary characteristics, and secondly, he wanted to find "Intis" in revenge for the treasure map of Amon's ruins that he had given him before.
Oh, forget it.
Just investigate the case, I just hope it's not in vain.
...
Half an hour later.
The people in the Mechanical Heart completed the investigation of all the residents on both sides of Camellia Street, but found nothing except No. 2 Camellia Street.
"Captain, we've found something here!"
Horamick squatted in front of the fireplace in Mr. F's bedroom and said, "There seems to be some mechanism here, but... I can't find a way to open it."
The captain raised his eyebrows and walked over quickly: "This is easy."
He took out a grenade from his waist and threw it into the fireplace. Horamick was stunned: "Huh???"
Chapter 514: Roselle sheds tears of pain
The next second, Horamick was picked up by the captain and ran out of the bedroom.
boom!
For a moment, gravel and dust flew everywhere, filling the entire house.
Horamick lay on the floor, a look of disbelief on his face: "Captain???"
The captain grabbed his hand and pulled him up. "Remember, Horamick, our opponents are all dangerous Beyonders. Don't be too rigid when dealing with them. Always consider your own safety first. Anyway, the last thing the Mechanical Heart lacks is firepower."
"Don't care about any traps or mechanisms, just clear the way with fire!"
As the dust gradually dissipated, the two walked into the bedroom again. The fireplace had been blown up by the grenade, and a hole leading to the underground appeared in its place.
The captain smiled proudly, "See, how simple it is."
Horamick didn't understand, but was shocked.
After a moment, the captain walked out of the cave with a serious face: "Everyone evacuate and guard outside the house, I need to go back to the church!"
...
It was late at night, in Bernadette's room.
She stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself who had completely changed into a little boy, and posed in cool ways from time to time to admire herself.
"Have you had enough of being so vain?"
"How can you be so conceited?"
She made a face and said, "It's just so magical. It's completely transformed into another person."
"Don't you want to go see your father? You can't go there in your original form, right?"
"Aren't you going to look for the mermaid?"
Edward grinned, "It seems that for the dance you performed, I will take you to see your father tonight, and then take you to see the mermaid."
"Yeah!"
The little girl jumped up happily.
Hey, laugh, laugh, and in a few years, when you recall what happened today, see if you can still laugh.
"Walk."
Edward stretched out his hand, and she quickly grasped it tightly. Then, her eyes blurred and she came to that colorful magical place again.
But this time, they quickly left this space and came to a very busy place - a not very big street with people coming and going, and all kinds of shops on both sides, brightly lit.
This is an island with a port in the Oradek Islands. Most of Intis's ships will use this as their first stop to replenish supplies and rest.
At this moment, Roselle was docked on the island with his four knights.
As they walked, Bernadette held Edward's hand, looking around curiously, becoming happier and happier: "We're about to see Daddy! Hehe, he must not know that I came to see him secretly."
"Mr. Sparrow, do you think I should say something to him later?"
"Do you think Dad misses me too?"
"Hey, I wonder if he has lost weight in the past few days."
They soon arrived at an outdoor bar. Bernadette saw Roselle sitting not far away and immediately shouted in surprise:
"Dad's there!"
At this time, Russell was looking at Green with anger, pointing at the two women he brought over and cursing, "Green! Who do you think I am? What do you mean by bringing them here?!"
Green was surprised: "Captain, it's you..."
Russell danced with joy, looking disappointed: "I asked you to find me a beauty, a beauty! What's so beautiful about these two?"
Green: "…"
Edward Bernadette: "..."
She turned her head to look at Edward and said indifferently: "I suddenly don't want to see Dad."
Edward was speechless for a moment. He had known that Roselle would not behave himself wherever he went, but he did not expect to run into him right away. Bernadette was full of joy and expectation along the way, but in the end... this is it?
Seeing that Edward did not respond to her, Bernadette grabbed his sleeve and tugged, "Let's go and find the mermaid."
"OK."
Just as he turned to leave, he saw Edwards coming back with two women.
When Bernadette saw this, her expression became even uglier and she clenched her hands tightly.
Edward coughed and said, "Ah, are you angry?"
"I'm not angry at all!"
"Do you want to teach Roselle a lesson?"
Bernadette was stunned for a moment, then asked half hesitantly and half expectantly: "How do you teach me a lesson?"
"Don't worry, he won't really be hurt. We'll just let him learn from his mistakes."
After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
On the other hand, Russell asked Green and Edwards to find beautiful women. It was not that he couldn't control his lower body, but he had been on the boat for several days in a row, and all he saw were strong men, so he couldn't wait to feast his eyes.
But the two that Green found were so pleasing to the eye that they almost blinded him!
He muttered to himself as he finished a glass of beer. He turned around and saw Edwards coming back with two women as well.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Edwards, you have a good eye."
"???"
Edwards was stunned, looking at the two equally ordinary-looking streetwalkers, and couldn't tell for a moment whether Russell was being sarcastic or had suddenly changed his tone.
Russell hurriedly asked the two streetwalkers to sit down on both sides of him, "Come on, sit here."
Next comes the commonly seen part: persuading the bitch to change her ways - nothing more than, "You are so beautiful, why do you do this job?", "Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?", "You should stop doing this and find a good man to marry" and so on.
The four knights were suddenly confused about Roselle's true thoughts, but... since he was the boss, the four of them could only watch.
Bernadette and Edward sat at a table not far from each other and ordered two glasses of milk, one for each, and watched Russell's excited performance.
"Did you use the same magical powers as the Pinocchio and Snow White puppets?"
She understood immediately, "In Dad's eyes, those two women must be very, very beautiful, right? Didn't he say he was going to teach him a lesson? Now he's rewarding him, right?"
"Don't worry."
More than 20 minutes later, Russell drank several bottles of wine and gradually became a little drunk. The two streetwalkers offered to take him back to rest. Russell readily agreed and took them to the hotel where they were staying while drunk.
Roselle's four knights looked at each other in bewilderment: No way, are you really that hungry?
But they couldn't stop their boss from being happy, so they had to follow him.
Soon, Roselle led the two women into the room and refused to let the four knights in. "The next step is the payment process. Do you still want to come in?"
