Dorian wanted to give more instructions, but when he saw the evasive look in Fors's eyes, he smiled slightly, "I know you are still worried about the previous misunderstanding, but you may not know that your actions at that time were exactly an important reason why I decided to accept you as my disciple.
"ah?"
"Haha, even I, the 'victim', doesn't matter, so don't think too much about it."
Fors nodded heavily: "I understand, teacher!"
After leaving Dorian, Fors went straight to the train station in Pritz Harbor. She wanted to take the nearest train back to Backlund so that she could buy props such as divination crystal balls and astrolabes before the stores closed.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the train station, she saw a familiar figure walking out from the crowd. He was a well-dressed and very handsome man - he had a pair of bright red eyes.
It was the vampire Emlyn, also known as Mr. Moon in the Tarot Club.
Fors's first reaction was to avoid him, but then she realized that the other person didn't know her in real life, so there was nothing to be afraid of. So she looked at him a few more times.
Then, a love story with vampires as the protagonists gradually emerged in my mind. A long-lived vampire Count and an ordinary girl came together because of love, but separated because of lifespan. In the end...
Just as he thought of this, he saw a golden-haired man hugging Emlyn, laughing and saying something to him. Emlyn glared at him and tried to push him away but failed and was hugged tighter. He could only roll his eyes - what a typical example of trying to refuse but also trying to welcome!
etc!
This is not the story I wanted!!!
Not to mention Fors roaring in his heart,
Danitz pinched his chin and looked at Emlyn and asked, "Emlyn, you seem very nervous?"
"Why should I be nervous?"
Emlyn tried to pry Danitz's hand away, "Let go quickly, you're pressing down on my hair!"
"Are you reluctant to leave the home you've lived in for hundreds of years? Or are you reluctant to leave your treasures?"
snort!
I carry all those treasures with me!
He held the suitcase tightly, and then held it in his arms with his other hand.
Danitz asked curiously, "By the way, why did you suddenly agree to go out to sea with me?"
"Didn't you say that going overseas can make money quickly?"
"Uh, is this really the reason?"
"What do you think?"
"I thought...I thought you couldn't bear to leave me."
Emlyn immediately bared his sharp teeth, "Don't force me to beat you in front of so many people!"
"Hey, you're talking as if you're Sequence 6 and I'm Sequence 7!"
"whispering sound."
The two had fought several times before in the Harvest Church, and it was basically a draw. Although Danitz was a Sequence 6, the conspirator was more of an increase in his IQ, which did not have much impact on his direct combat power.
They walked to the dock of the port and saw the huge passenger ship. Emlyn couldn't help swallowing and then took a deep breath, as if he was walking into a execution ground.
Why did Emlyn go out to sea with Danitz?
Of course, it was not his wish, but he had received divine revelation from the ancestor Lilith two nights ago. Thinking of this, his eyes became more determined, as if he was going to join the party:
In order to fight against the apocalypse and save the world, I, Emlyn, will do my best!!
...
In the past, 1160 years.
At noon, Du Bois returned after completing the rental of No. 7 Rose Street.
"Boss, my audience potion has been completely digested."
He said happily as soon as he entered the door.
"Um?"
Edward was a little surprised. "Didn't you have half of it undigested a few days ago? Why did you do it so suddenly?"
He shook his head in confusion, "I don't know either."
"Where did you go just now? Tell me in detail."
"First, I went to the dentist in the market district to transfer the lease contract, then I took Henry's family to No. 7 Rose Street to check the house, and then I went to the jewelry store. Then I walked around the block, observing passers-by. ¨暁^税*宅. /已¢發′布?醉~欣/璋.洁~"
Edward thought for a moment and said with a smile, "You have most likely run into a high-sequence Beyonder."
"Ah? But I didn't think I saw anyone special. It was just Henry's son... He seemed a little bratty."
Hmm? Edward caught something and said calmly:
"Don't be nervous, this is a good thing for you."
He asked casually, "By the way, do you know where the Henry family lives now?"
"It's seven streets away at 125 Rue Montorgueil."
Dubois asked hesitantly, "So can I advance to Sequence 8 now?"
"Of course." Edward smiled and said, "I can still give you the mind reader formula for free, but you don't expect me to give you the potion ingredients for free, do you?"
He wanted to say "yes" shamelessly, but when he thought of the high price of those materials, he swallowed his words back.
"Let's do this."
Edward held up two fingers and said, "I'll give you two choices. First, you owe me the money first. For the two main materials and four auxiliary materials, I'll give you 1,000 Felkins, which is about 16 years of your salary. Add in some bonuses and it'll be 10 years."
At this point he clicked his tongue and said, "No, that's not right. If I do this, wouldn't I be providing you with Sequence 8 materials for free, and also providing you with a job for the next 10 years? This is a double reward."
Dubois also laughed. "Then I have to thank the boss in advance."
"Second, do me a favor."
He immediately said: "It is my duty to help you deal with things."
"Of course it's different when it's raised separately."
Edward looked at him seriously and said, "Use your unique channels to help me collect as much information as possible about King Intis. Or, if you already know enough about the king, you can tell me directly."
Dubois' eyes widened visibly in surprise: "The King?"
He wanted to ask Edward what he wanted to do - controlling curiosity is the most basic compulsory course for a qualified butler, but when it comes to the king... he still couldn't control himself.
But fortunately he controlled his mouth, and then without thinking, he said: "I choose the second one."
When your leader gives you a big benefit and asks you to choose between two things, you should take the initiative to choose the one that is obviously more difficult.
"OK."
Edward said as he took out the extraordinary characteristics and supplementary materials of the mind reader from his leather bag. "Then I will wait for your good news."
Bernadette didn't come to play today. If nothing unexpected happened, she must have been grounded by her mother Matilda. Not to mention that she ran out to play every day, didn't take any classes seriously, and always ran to other people's houses. What's the point? - The one who was really familiar with Matilda was Dubois, not his boss.
So Edward felt a lot more at peace.
In the afternoon, Dubois returned with a small bag of gems, including rubies, sapphires, agates and crystals, two or three pieces of each. Although the quality was generally average, it should be enough as ritual material.
In this case, the only material left for Mr. Men's ceremony would be the hair of Abraham's descendants. If I had known this earlier, I should have grabbed a few handfuls from Christine or Lawrence.
Forget it, let's go check out what's going on in Henry's house first. Edward doesn't believe that Dubois can just run into a high-sequence Beyonder and digest the potion in one glance - there must be something wrong.
Edward returned to the house, transformed himself into a passerby, and teleported to an empty alley on Montauguy Street.
This street is a commercial and residential street in the Opera House district. There are shops along the street. It is a place where residents in the Opera House district often go for shopping and socializing.
Soon, Edward arrived at No. 125, a spice shop with a constant stream of customers. Several employees were busy entertaining the customers and introducing them to packaging and weighing.
Edward walked in naturally, selected two or three spices, packed them up and weighed them, then went to the counter to pay. He happened to see Henry's wife sitting at the counter with a chubby child, talking to him.
The mother and son seemed very happy. Seeing Edward coming, Mrs. Henry turned around and greeted him. After some calculation, she smiled and said, "A total of 3 fergins and 22 copes."
"OK."
Edward deliberately took out a piece of paper and used a Confusion Charm and handed it over, "Here."
Mrs. Henry looked at her in confusion and said, "Sir, you got the wrong money."
"Oh sorry."
Edward smiled sheepishly, "It must be the kid at home who was naughty and put the paper in my pocket."
He took out another one and carefully identified it before handing it over: "This one should be fine."
He looked at the boy who was looking at him curiously with wide eyes: "Is that so?"
The boy shrank back behind Mrs. Henry as if he were afraid.
"Here's your change, sir."
"Thanks."
Edward then took out a handful of tarot cards, cut and shuffled them quickly, and said, "Madam, I am actually a fortune teller. My inspiration tells me that fortune telling for your child will bring you good luck. Do you want to try it?"
Mrs. Henry patted her son on the head, "Of course, Will, go and draw one."
"oh."
The boy hesitated for a moment, then reached out and quickly pulled out a card, immediately covered it with his hand, carefully brought it to his eyes, and then slowly moved his hand away. When he saw the tarot card, he blinked and turned the card over:
"It's the Wheel of Fortune."
Chapter 525 Male and Female Dice
Edward looked over and smiled: "Congratulations, you will soon be lucky."
After saying this, he winked at the boy again and turned away. Mrs. Henry hurriedly called out, "Sir, your tarot cards."
"Give it to the child."
A tarot card is not worth much, especially it can bring good luck, Mrs. Henry did not refuse, patted her son's head and shouted: "Will, thank this uncle quickly."
The boy pouted: "Thank you, uncle~"
After saying that, he suddenly covered his crotch and whispered, "Mom, I want to pee."
"Well, be careful not to pee your pants. Delete! Eight/墈_book!徃. -Has been* published~-The most/salary\chapter·Jie¢"
"oh!"
After Edward walked out of the spice shop, he walked slowly all the way and turned into a restaurant not far away. He ordered a cup of coffee and an ice cream and just sat there quietly.
A moment later, a head suddenly popped up from the seat opposite. It was Henry's son, Will Auceptin.
"Please."
Edward pushed the ice cream over to him, and the boy took it and started eating it without hesitation. However, his eyes were always on Edward, and he was quite curious: "Who are you? Did you know I would come? How did you know I like ice cream?"
"secret."
"whispering sound."
Edward took a sip of coffee and asked, "Was it your idea to move into 7 Rose Street?"
The boy looked innocent, "I'm just a kid, what ideas can I have?"
"…"
This guy is really a professional at pretending to be young.
"Okay, let me ask it another way. Did you influence Mr. and Mrs. Henry?"
He licked the ice cream scoop and muttered, "Is that right?"
"Why?"
"I don't know." He shrugged. "That's just a feeling I had. I felt that moving there might be good for me." At this point, he looked at Edward and laughed. "It seems my feeling was right. You came here before I even moved in."
He suddenly pulled out a stack of tarot cards from his pocket and said, "That's great. I can also use tarot cards for divination. Do you want to draw one too?"
The boy, Will Auceptin, also known as Little Snake, looked up at Edward and asked, just as the two would do when they first met in the future.
But this time Edward did not refuse, nor did he flee in embarrassment. He reached out and turned over the top card in the little snake's hand.
"Huh?"
Edward thought it would be a Tower or even a Fool, but the card was blank, with nothing on it.
"You are...very abnormal. The new version of the article has been published."
Will stopped eating ice cream. "You have no past, and no future. Is someone keeping everything secret for you? No, this feeling is not [secret], it's simply nothing."
Edward frowned. It was understandable that he had no past, but what about having no future?
"Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Will scratched his head childishly, "I don't know. I can't tell anything from a card without a face." He lowered his head and thought for a while, "But, this card can probably be understood as, what your future will be like, it will be created by you yourself, your future is in your hands."
"Oh, what a sweet and nourishing chicken soup."
"chicken soup?"
"Don't worry about it."
Edward took another sip of coffee, letting the mellow and slightly bitter coffee soak into his mouth. "Do you know Lilith?"
"Are you talking about the witch Lilith?"
Will started eating ice cream again. "Of course, what I have been thinking about is in His hands. How could I not recognize Him?"
"The dice?"
"Yes, how do you know so much? Fate tells me that I really didn't know you before."
"It's already a secret, so let's get back to the dice."
Edward still remembered that when Lilith went back to the past, the uniqueness of the path of destiny - that is, the dice - went back with her.
Will sighed, "I tried to exchange with Him using various promises and methods, but He said that the one in His hand was not the one I wanted."
"oh?"
"He told me this: When the world was first created, two dice appeared in the world, one was female and the other was male. The one in his hand was female, and the one I wanted was male. They were not the same thing. If I wanted to find the male, I had to use the female dice to attract it - and then he asked me to work for him for free."
Edward: "…"
When did Lilith watch "Journey to the West"?
Will continued, "At the time, I almost believed it. "
"Why?"
"Because the dice in His hand is really... too well-behaved. It will always keep a number above 5. If someone wants to harm Lilith, it will instantly jump to 1 to bring disaster to the surroundings, and then use 6 to bring good luck to Lilith, exempting her from disaster."
Will said in annoyance: "I think He should be the real Wheel of Fortune. My fight with Ouroboros for so many years is just a joke."
"Then why was He killed later?"
"Maybe it's because I was too lucky before. You must know that good luck is not infinite. It needs to be accumulated or overdrawn. After so many years of good luck, it's not surprising that my luck suddenly turned bad."
"But let me correct you." Will stretched out his finger and shook it, saying, "He was indeed tricked by a group of people, but he did not die. Although I don't know what happened specifically, he did survive in some way."
Edward's eyes lit up. Compared to Medici and Pales, the little snake actually knew and was certain that Lilith was not dead.
"Do you know where she might be now?"
"Of course I don't know. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."
"…"
Will shook his head. "Okay, it's my turn to ask questions now. It's the same question as before - who are you? How did you recognize me? And how did you know Lilith? What do you want to do with Him?"
"Well... let me make it up, no, think about it."
Will's mouth twitched, "You let it slip!"
"Hahahaha, my identity...is a secret."
"The reason why I know Lilith is because she is my...relative."
"What do I want to do with her... It doesn't seem to be anything special. Everything will be discussed after we meet in person."
Will raised his eyebrows. "I've said a lot, but none of them are useful. Do you think I'm easy to fool because I'm a child? Be careful or I'll get mad!"
"Sorry, sorry. I'll explain it to you when I get a chance."
"All right."
The little snake didn't seem to care, "Do you have anything else to ask me?"
"Not yet."
Edward thought for a moment and said, "Oh, by the way, can you fold a paper crane for me?"
"A thousand paper cranes? Why do you want this?"
"Uh, it's just...if there's anything, I can contact you through the paper crane."
Will was puzzled, "If you have to use this method, you should at least fold a snake, why a thousand paper cranes? Lilith also asked me to fold a thousand paper cranes, but I had never heard of what a 'thousand paper cranes' were at that time... It was "She" who taught me how to fold a thousand paper cranes."
"…"
"Give me a piece of paper."
A few minutes later, Edward left the restaurant with a thousand paper cranes in his pocket. Will held his chin and muttered:
"Wrong, that's not right. The good luck I feel is not from this person. On the contrary... this person seems to be in trouble."
He muttered, "Should we just...run away?"
At this moment, a hand appeared from behind him and grabbed his ear. It was Mrs. Henry: "Great! You come here to eat ice cream secretly again!"
"Ah!! I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again next time, Mom!"
...
After returning home, Edward was in a very good mood. He originally thought that there was something wrong with Henry renting the house, but it turned out to be the little snake Will.
It must be said that among all the big guys in the mysterious world, Edward had the best impression of Will. He was in danger many times and he was really willing to help.
Especially before traveling back, even in the face of Leodero's anger, the little snake dared to fight back. It can be said that if it weren't for Him, whether he could survive and travel back to the past would really be unknown.
Hmm, should we bring the little snake to Sefirah Castle as well?
But if we compare the misery of the little snake, it seems that it doesn't suffer that much.
After a brief meeting, various tricks and pretense, the arcane mage's potion was almost completely digested, except for the final shake, and the spiritual mage's potion was also two-thirds done.
The distance was completely absorbed and it was right in front of me.
I wasn't that anxious at first, but there was still no sign of the two Beyonder characteristics required to advance to Sequence 3.
"I forgot. I should let the little snake bring me some good luck."
Early the next morning.
Edward was awakened by a buzzing prayer sound in his ears.
He picked up the pillow and covered his head with it, but it was of no use. Although he seemed to hear the prayers of Sefirah Castle, in fact, it was more like a spiritual feeling, so covering his ears would not do.
Fortunately, the buzzing sound did not last too long.
Edward was lazy for a while, but he couldn't continue to sleep soundly. He jumped out of bed with a complaining look on his face, walked four steps backwards and entered the Source Castle. He saw the deep red star symbolizing Bernadette flashing.
As his spiritual power spread, he saw the figure of Bernadette in the depths of the gray fog. She yawned with a face full of resentment, and whispered: "Mr. Sparrow, my mother is crazy! She made me get up before 7 o'clock to go to class! Quick! Come and save me! My mother is so scary!"
"…"
Edward was speechless. He didn't realize that Matilda usually looked gentle and always had a soft smile on her face when she was with Russell. He didn't expect that she would be so strict when it came to educating her children.
No wonder Bernadette couldn't stand it. Roselle doted on her too much in the past and wouldn't let her suffer any grievances.
But what can Edward do about this kind of thing?
It was relatively late for aristocratic families to start formal education at the age of six, and this was indeed for Bernadette's own good, so he thought about it and replied to Bernadette with a firm and powerful word: "Come on!"
Just as he was about to leave, another crimson star began to twinkle. This time it was Pales who said, "Mr. President, I found the descendant of the Abraham family."
Wow, you came just in time!
If it was two days later, we would have to wait until the next full moon night a month later.
