"Sit down. ¨E, Z¢ novel! Wang/? Chasing ~ crime? New! Cockroach *踕,"
Edward emphasized again.
The next second, Medici lost control of his body and walked straight to a chair on the left and sat down.
"…"
Tsk!
Although he was mentally prepared, Medici still felt unhappy - even the ancient sun god didn't treat me like this!
"You have been in contact with the City of Disaster, so you must understand what this place is, right?"
Medici leaned back and folded his arms. "Source. Damn, Tudor's seal is really powerful. I clearly left the seal range and came here through my spirit body, but I still can't escape the effect of the seal. As long as I leave here, I will return to the underground palace again."
In fact, this is also what Edward is concerned about.
As evil spirits, the Medici Triad is undoubtedly special.
Others entered the Source Castle by leaving their bodies and entering as spirits, but He was originally a spirit, and due to the effect of the seal, He could not truly leave the underground palace.
So Edward couldn't help but start thinking:
"If someone prays to me now and opens the illusory door of sacrifice and gift, can I throw him out as an object and break free from the seal?"
At this time, Medici looked around and said, "You are not really Bethel, are you? No, if that's the case, why would that kid want to learn Bethel's three-part honorific name from me?"
"Amon? That's not right. If it was a little crow, it would have behaved even worse."
"So... only Antigonus is left?"
Edward smiled and said, "Have you forgotten Zaratul?"
"No! That guy can't be! I worked with him for a while, and he's totally unqualified!"
At this point, Medici waved his hand, "Forget it, no more guessing. Just tell me, what do you want me to do? If you're asking about Lilith, I'll say the same thing... I saw with my own eyes that She fell at the hands of Adam Amon and Chick, and I died not long after that, and became an evil spirit that has been sealed ever since. /山?芭·看^书\汪_ _埂′鑫~罪?全-"
"Yes, I know all that."
Edward nodded slightly. "I actually have nothing to do with you here. I just want to take a look at the once arrogant Red Angel who almost got promoted to Sequence 0 but was boiled away in the end. I also want to say hello."
"…"
Medici clicked his tongue, "You... are the little crow, right?!"
"Hahahahahaha."
After a good laugh, Edward said, "I might host a very interesting party here next. You are cordially invited to attend."
"Can I refuse?"
"sure."
Medici stared at Edward quietly for half a minute, then curled his lips and said, "Forget it. I'm sealed there anyway, and I'm free anyway. I might as well have some fun."
"Well, I wish you happiness in advance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Edward cut off contact with Medici.
It must be said that the first meeting with Medici in Sefirah Castle was much calmer than expected. No matter what Medici's original personality was and how dishonest he was, he was definitely not a fool.
Faced with a being that looked like a god and could completely control him, no matter how unhappy he was, he would not seek death for no reason.
Of course, He did not do nothing. During the whole process, He had been testing who Edward really was. Once He found out who the other party was, Medici would be able to roughly guess the other party's purpose, the reason why he was looking for himself, and how he could use him to break free from the seal.
Unfortunately, Edward did not come from an earlier past, but from a completely unknown future for Medici, and His temptation was ultimately meaningless.
Edward felt the potion being digested in his body and thought, "Well, the Spiritual Mage and the Secret Mage have digested some of their potions, but judging from the Spiritual Mage's digestion, it should not have reached its limit yet, so... we still need to have another miserable contest."
So, who will compete with Medici in "misery"? And what "reward" will be used to make Medici obedient?
Hiss,
There is only Russell. .E,Z!暁¨tax\wrong/ \choke/譆.罪¢全-
Don't mention it, one of them is a red priest and the other is a black emperor,
Red and black, right?
...
On the other side, Medici, who had returned to the sealed underground palace, also started a discussion with the other two evil spirits. Medici was the first to ask:
"Who do you think that guy could be?"
"How would I know? Didn't you say that He might be an ancient god who survived the Second Age?"
"Now it seems unlikely."
"What about the names you just reported?"
"Not likely."
"Hahahaha, Medici, is there a possibility that "He" isn't someone you know at all? We've been sealed here for nearly a thousand years. Can't some new people emerge in such a long time?"
"Yes, I have long suspected that even if we get out, someone will have already been promoted to the Red Priest."
"Have you been locked up for too long and your brain is damaged? Hasn't Tudor been promoted to Red Priest?"
"Oh, it's not that I look down on Him, but given His condition at that time, I don't believe He could remain as the Red Priest."
"You two shut up first."
Medici interrupted the conversation between Soran and Einhorn, "Do you think that guy is really a true god?"
"I doubted it."
"I also didn't think so at first, until He told us to sit down obediently with just one word. Even though we are just evil spirits now, we are also evil spirits with the status of Sequence 1."
"Then why does a true God repeatedly ask His people to come to us and ask us to recite His name and bring us to the source? What exactly does He want to do?"
"Then I have to ask you what value you have."
"My value?"
Medis thought for a moment, but didn't have much idea.
In fact, there are some things He didn't say: for example, when the little thing came for the first time, the second time, and the third time today, the state and plan of each time were obviously different.
But this is not normal. If he came here for the gods he believed in, shouldn't he have a clear purpose and plan from beginning to end? - But Medici clearly noticed that he showed a certain degree of improvisation when making certain decisions on these three occasions.
Of course, it is not ruled out that it was the person behind him who gave him the order on the spur of the moment.
In addition, Medici was still very curious about why he cared so much about Lilith. As one of the few people who had a good relationship with Lilith at the beginning, Medici really couldn't match him with anyone else.
In other words, that little thing or the person behind him might not really be someone he had known, which was strange - then what was His purpose in looking for Lilith?
Finally, was the brass stick that could amplify his spirituality and temporarily break through the seal really the work of Adam? What conspiracy was He trying to play by doing this?
Haha, I don't believe it. How could He make my situation worse than it is now?
...
In the memorial hall area, inside an ordinary duplex building.
Marcia sat quietly in front of the dressing mirror. She had never left the house since she encountered the mysterious old man that night.
She had no recollection of what happened after the old man showed up, what questions he asked her, what he did to her, or whether he was still watching her in secret.
In order to avoid doing more, leaking more information, and making more mistakes, she simply chose to do nothing.
However, this does not mean that she gave up resistance. She has been waiting for Tariq to appear, hoping that Tariq and the big man behind him can attract the attention of those who are staring at her.
The night grows darker.
The crimson moonlight poured into the room, as if covering the house with a layer of gauze, making it quiet and peaceful.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed in the dim mirror, and a woman in a black dress gradually appeared in the mirror. Marcia was stunned and said quickly: "Sir, I may be targeted by a strong man. It is not safe around here now. Please leave quickly."
"fine."
The woman in the black dress in the mirror said, "You are safe now. There is no one around you."
Marcia was stunned and quite surprised.
"Is this the reason why you suddenly lost contact during this period of time?"
"Yes, sir."
"Tell me what happened."
The calmness of the woman in the mirror calmed Marcia down, and she said, "The day after Earl Clear was successfully assassinated, I went to the Aurora Club to find Mr. F, and took back the things I had taken from No. 7 Rose Street, and then..."
She spoke slowly, trying to reconstruct as much as possible what happened that night so that the adults could get enough useful information, "…When I woke up, I found myself still in the same place. I had no idea what happened during my unconsciousness."
"What about that thing?"
Marcia hung her head. "It was taken away."
"What does that old man look like?"
She quickly opened the drawer and took out a painting and faced the mirror, "I drew this from memory."
The woman in the black dress in the mirror frowned slightly: "Little Zaratul? What does he want to do by getting involved?"
Chapter 523 Little Christine
After inheriting the extraordinary characteristics of old Zaratul, young Zaratul has been seeking to be promoted to Sequence 1 for many years, and everything he has done is centered on this. However, this matter obviously has nothing to do with his promotion to the mysterious servant. If he rashly participates, he will not only get himself into a lot of trouble, but also gain nothing. So what is he trying to do?
After a moment, "I see. I will go talk to him in person." (Little Zaratul sneezed, and felt that something bad was going to happen)
"What's the latest news about Tariq?"
Marcia shook her head. "He hasn't contacted me in over a week."
"Find out his current situation as soon as possible."
"OK."
"careful."
"Thank you for your concern, sir."
The woman in the black dress in the mirror disappeared, and the faint light on the mirror surface also dimmed.
...
At the same time, at No. 20 Feicui Street, not far from Edward's rental house.
The woman in the black dress stood quietly in front of the dressing mirror, with a hint of doubt in her tone: "Even if it was Zaratul, he must have countless ways to make people unable to see or remember his appearance, or simply turn Marcia into a secret doll. Now Marcia doesn't remember anything else but Zaratul's appearance. It's too deliberate."
"Hehe, I deliberately used Zaratul's image in order to get people to cause trouble for Zaratul. By finding Zaratul and asking him who he has conflicts with recently, maybe we can figure out who the real culprit is~"
The woman in black robe nodded suddenly, "I understand."
After a pause, he said, "Now that one of the Intis brass pillars is missing and its whereabouts are unknown, should the operation still proceed as planned?"
"Hmm, let me think about it~"
As soon as I thought of this, there was no sound.
Twenty minutes later, the woman in black robe coughed softly, "Ahem."
"Oh, sorry, I just fell asleep. You know my current state. I will fall asleep if I am not careful. Where were we talking just now?"
"Speaking of whether or not to proceed as planned."
"I don't know either! How about... we wait until we find little Zaratul and ask him before deciding?"
"good!"
"Then I'll go back to sleep. Thank you for your hard work, little Crisemena."
The woman in the black dress smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mom~"
...
The next day,
During breakfast, Edward found Dubois and said, "Dubois, I need to buy a batch of gems as quickly as possible and collect them before the next full moon night."
"The next full moon?"
Dubois thought for a moment and said, "That means these few days. Boss, what kind of gems do you need?"
"this..."
Edward only remembered that he needed a lot of gems when he contacted Mr. Men, but how could he remember what kind they needed? "Give me some gems on the market. Oh, there is no requirement for quality, as long as they are gems.?8\8`d,u^s_h*u+w+a`n\g~._c,om!"
"That might also require a large sum of money... The money I have left might not be enough."
"Yes, I know."
Edward felt a little uncomfortable. He had so many gold pound notes in his pocket, but in this era they were just a pile of worthless waste paper - all the Felgin he had before were exchanged for gold coins and jewelry.
Of course, he still had a bunch of extraordinary characteristics that he had exchanged for in Yuecheng, but the question was, how could he exchange them for money?
Extraordinary gathering?
There must be such a party in Trier, but Edward had never paid attention to it before, so he said, "Do you know where I can find out about any extraordinary parties in Trier?"
Regardless of the past or the future, all extraordinary gatherings pay great attention to safety and secrecy, and basically only acquaintances can invite acquaintances to participate.
Here we have to criticize Mr. F of the Aurora Society. He has been in Trier for several years, but he has never thought of organizing an extraordinary party like Mr. A in the future.
DuBois thought for a moment and said, "I'll try."
"be safe."
"clear."
After Dubois left, Edward muttered, "If it doesn't work, just use Transfiguration. Anyway, with my current strength, I can transform some banknotes for a few years or even decades. As long as the magic is not broken, it seems to be no different from real money."
However, Edward seemed to have seen on the forum in his previous life that the banknotes in the mysterious world seemed to be related to gods. Otherwise, why in a "world of superpowers", no extraordinary people were seen tampering with the banknotes?
Although this statement is purely speculation and has not been certified by the "Creator Squid", it is still safer. If it really comes to that, it is better to directly rob the pirates and gangsters.
Well, I'll just start working next time I go out to sea. \咸,鱼/看^书_ ?已¢發/发布~嶵·芯-蟋?劫*
Just as he was thinking about how to make money, Dubois, who had just been out for two minutes, came back unexpectedly. Behind him was a blond man. It was Henry, who he had just met yesterday and wanted to rent No. 7 Rose Street.
Judging from his current expression, has he decided to insist on renting the house?
Of course Edward didn't care. If there really was someone behind Henry and wanted to do something, renting the house to him would give him the opportunity to do it and lure the snake out of its hole.
If he really just wants to buy back the ancestral property, then let him do it.
"Mr. Sparrow, sorry to bother you again."
Henry came alone today. He had an apologetic look on his face. He took off his hat and bowed slightly to Edward as he walked into the house.
"Mr. Auceptin, it seems you have made up your mind?"
"That's right."
He nodded seriously, "I thought about it all night last night and discussed it with my wife and children. I think I should seize the opportunity to buy back the ancestral home."
"OK."
Edward stepped forward and held out his hand. "Then I wish you a happy housewarming, sir."
The two men shook hands, and Edward turned to Dubois and said, "Dubois, you will be fully authorized to sign the rental contract on my behalf."
"Okay boss."
Du Bois gestured to Henry to come in, and the two of them left together.
Edward watched the two's backs, curious: Are there other secrets hidden in No. 7 Rose Street?
However, the divination at Sefirah Castle clearly found nothing.
It's really strange.
...
The year 1349 in the future.
In a few days, the long December will be over and 1350 is just around the corner. In 1350, Audrey will be not far from her 18th birthday.
18 years old means adulthood, and Earl Hall will definitely hold a birthday party for her then.
However, there was still no news from Edward.
Audrey sat in the room, looking at the desolation in the garden, her chin resting on her hand, her green pupils scattered and lifeless.
Two days had passed since she went to Tingen to see Melissa. She had been promoted to a Sequence 6 hypnotist a few days ago, but the entire process did not require hypnosis or suggestion. Melissa told her everything.
Klein is indeed her and Benson's biological brother.
He was indeed a native of Loen.
Before his "faked death", he had never even left Tingen.
And there is no "Edwardian world" style in Tingen.
This is strange. Why would Klein, Mr. "World", judge that the girl was his "fellow countryman" based on the girl's clothes?
Is it just an excuse to find someone?
Or does Mr. World really have some connection with "another world"?
If you think about it this way, Audrey suddenly discovered through her memories that Edward did seem to have a different attitude towards Mr. World. Was it just that Edward had enough understanding of Mr. World (Klein) in advance through his "prophecy of the future"?
But the trust and affection between Edward and I were cultivated by traveling through the world together and spending a long time together. Where did Edward's "special attention" to Klein come from? - Although they had worked together, it was only for less than a week.
Who among my family members understands?
Originally, she just checked out of curiosity, but somehow it turned into finding out that her husband seemed to have someone else outside - and it was a man.
Audrey hurriedly patted him on the cheek, "What a mess! Audrey, what are you thinking about?!"
Otherwise, why not go and ask Mr. World directly?
But,
It's just speculation now. If we guess wrong, wouldn't we be exposing Edward's secret to others?
How stupid is that?
Audrey frowned. "Well, how about... pretending that I'm the 'time traveler' and asking Mr. World?" - The term time traveler was, of course, something she heard from Edward.
The reason for doing all this is actually very simple: regardless of whether Mr. World is a time traveler or not, there must be something wrong with the girl he is looking for -
And shortly after Edward disappeared, the girl appeared. Is it possible that there is a connection between them?
It's not that Audrey insisted on thinking so, but she really didn't have any other clues.
Yes, she doesn't want to wait passively anymore!
Chapter 524 Wheel of Fortune
White Oak Avenue, Prids Harbor.
Fors sat quietly and obediently in Dorian's house, watching the old man in front of her busy preparing potions, feeling happy and anxious at the same time.
After two or three weeks of getting along, Dorian Gray finally decided to accept Fors as his disciple and give her guidance on the path of becoming a Beyonder.
Fors was naturally very happy about this. She knew from previous correspondence that Dorian was a person with a wealth of knowledge in mysticism and could provide great help to a purebred wild Beyonder like herself.
but...
Whenever she thought of the scene in which she formed a group to beat up the teacher some time ago, she felt particularly guilty - no matter in which world, beating up teachers is a "serious sin"!
Seeing the extraordinary material in the pot melt and merge into a liquid that sparkled with stars, Dorian smiled clearly, poured the liquid into a glass test tube, and handed it to Fors: "Come on."
"Thank you, teacher."
Since Fors had revealed his identity as a Beyonder in advance, he did not have to hide it as in the original book, nor was he forced to drink two portions of the Apprentice Potion. Instead, he started directly with the Astrologer Potion.
She raised her head and drank the potion in the test tube in one gulp. Almost in an instant, a sky full of stars appeared in front of her eyes and her body began to tremble slightly.
After a few minutes, all the adverse symptoms disappeared.
Fors opened her eyes and was sure that she had been promoted to a Sequence 7 astrologer, so she thanked him again, "Thank you, teacher."
"Um."
Dorian handed her a handwritten notebook and said, "This is a record of my acting experience over the years. You can use it for reference. But remember, everyone's acting style may differ. This is just a reference!"
"I see!"
