Mystery: Shadow of Order - Chapter 239
The sky in Backlund was filled with gray fog that persisted for years, making it indistinguishable between morning and evening. A figure walked to the balcony, pulled the curtains “swish”, glanced at the familiar sky, and sighed as usual:
“There is still no sun.”
Fors glanced at a certain house on the street, rubbed his messy hair, yawned and returned to his room. After a simple wash, he made a hearty breakfast to treat himself as a “trick master” and stayed away for the time being. the fate of death.
A series of encounters yesterday made her not sleep well at all. She, who was originally prepared to meet the fate of death, not only successfully advanced to the “Master of Tricks”, but also temporarily got rid of the threat of death, but then she read it out in ancient Hermes language. The honorable name of a secret existence made Forsi’s mood drop directly to the bottom.
As a former “apprentice” and what he saw in the Beyonder circle, Forsi knew that once he recited the full honorable name of a secret existence, it often meant that he would attract the attention of the other party, and the consequences of this kind of attention were very likely. It wouldn’t be wonderful, it might even be miserable!
Because many of those hidden beings are the incarnations of evil gods and demons, they often change their identities deliberately to attract more believers!
The most important thing is that Forsi is still chanting in the unprotected ancient Hermes language! As a natural language, Hermes is very effective, but it lacks the necessary concealment and protection, which can easily put users in danger.
But fortunately, this did not immediately attract the attention of the hidden existence, but it also prevented Fors from sleeping well. If it wasn’t for Alysia looking for her, she would rather lie in bed all day.
After making a very indecent burp, Forsi prepared to lie down on the sofa for a while without tidying up, but before taking a few steps, she found that Alysia was already sitting on the sofa yesterday, not speaking. There is no movement, just sitting quietly, just like the wax figures on display in the wax museum.
Forsi quickened her pace and sat on the couch. The two piles of books that had been packed were still placed on both sides of the sofa. She straightened her body with difficulty, and her beautiful face was full of expectations and doubts.
“your problem.”
“Ah?” Forsi was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this was asking himself to ask, “Oh, I want to know how you know that I lack the main material of ‘Master of Trick’?”
She had many questions, but she was afraid that those questions would touch Alysia’s privacy and anger her, so she simply asked the simplest question. But As soon as Forsi finished speaking, she saw Alicia’s slender eyebrows wrinkle slightly, and she felt a little stunned. Wouldn’t the first question make her unhappy?
And Alysia is thinking about another thing. She doesn’t know what Rawls is planning, but she obviously doesn’t want Fors and Hugh to know his identity…
“I can judge the level of the Beyonder, and the path you are in is very rare in terms of formulas and potions.”
Fors nodded with lingering fears, thinking about Alysia’s answer while thinking about the next question. Can you judge the level of the Extraordinary, is it the ability of the follow-up sequence of “Master of Trickster”? No, Alysia is referring to the sequence I am in, which means that she is not an Extraordinary of the “Apprentice” pathway.
Originally, seeing that Alysia could disappear out of thin air, Fors thought she was an Extraordinary of the “Apprentice” pathway. After all, that bracelet could also give her the ability to travel through the spiritual world.
“The three major churches seem to be looking for you?” Forsi’s upright body collapsed. She originally wanted to ask why Alysia suddenly moved next door more than a month ago, and what did she do to make the three major churches fall? And MI9 hunted down. You must know that there are secret surveillance personnel of the Church of the Storms living diagonally across from her! If it weren’t for the “apprentice” being able to pass through the wall freely, and Huo secretly reporting the letter, she wouldn’t have found it at all.
“You don’t need to know.” Alysia didn’t hesitate this time. This was also related to Rawls’s plan and could not be leaked.
The two answers from Alysia, who lacked sufficient communication skills, made Fors feel a little scared. She was afraid that she would be in danger if she asked any more questions, so she simply said:
“I’m fine.”
This time, Forsi could clearly see Alicia’s brows furrowed, not like it just flashed for a moment… No? I don’t ask her and she’s not happy?
After a brief silence, Alysia, who had the dominant power, opened the mouth and said:
“Don’t you want to know why you suffered that curse?”
Of course I want to! I’m not afraid that you will be unhappy if you ask this question! Then am I in danger?
Although he didn’t know the exact sequence number of Alysia, Forsi knew that this was something that he couldn’t offend, so he glanced at her uneasily, and stretched out his arm to reveal the silver bracelet with two dark blue rough stones. came out:
“It should be related to this bracelet.”
Alysia looked at the bracelet with no change in her expression. She knew that it belonged to the Abraham family, and was created by their ancestor “Mr. Door” to protect the low-rank family members.
Shouldn’t Forsi’s curse appear after becoming a Beyonder?
Without seeing any movement from Alysia, the bracelet flew out of thin air and fell into her hands. As a practitioner of order, she can not only judge the level of an Extraordinary by the difference in “position”, but also judge the function of a magical item, plus the care of the “uncertain fog”, it is no better than Sequence Seven What’s wrong with the “appraiser”?
But after checking, she didn’t find that the bracelet carried a curse, and Alysia cast her doubtful eyes on Fors:
“Didn’t you get the curse after you became a Beyonder?”
That voice was full of majesty, causing Fors to shake his head subconsciously, and then woke up suddenly. She now finally knows why Alysia helped her. This was a misunderstanding! But this kind of misunderstanding can kill you…
“Do you know the Abraham family?”
“do not know.”
The same majestic inquiry made Forsi not dare to lie at all, which reminded her of Hugh. Maybe Alysia is an Extraordinary of the “Arbiter” pathway? Next, under the inquiry of Alysia, she spoke out about how she became a Beyonder, how she obtained the curse of the full moon, and how the curse was strengthened step by step.
After the inquiry was over, there was another long silence. Forsi stared blankly at Alysia, who was facing her. She didn’t know what kind of fate she would usher in…
And Alysia didn’t know how to proceed. She originally thought that Fors was a member of Abraham’s family. She could use Fors to find more members. Even if the Abraham family could not get rid of the curse, she could get a certain amount of money. the benefits of.
Her indifferent dark gray eyes looked at Fors up and down, maybe it was not bad, to see if she could find a way to get rid of the curse. Even if it doesn’t work, you can try to find the real Abraham family members through her…
“The husband of Mrs. Anlisa you mentioned should be a member of the Abraham family. My family and the Abraham family are closely related. The curse exists not only in the Abraham family, but also in my family. It’s just that every member of the Abraham family has become an Extraordinary. We will all be cursed, and only a part of us will be cursed.”
It turned out to be so, Forsi breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn’t help but ask:
“Can’t this curse be lifted?”
Alysia slowly shook her head, left a sentence and disappeared.
“I will continue to provide the follow-up formulas and potions, complete the role, and digest the potions as soon as possible.”
……
Klein, who came to the gray fog ahead of time, sat at the head of the long bronze table. Yesterday, he was entrusted by the children to find out Ian’s whereabouts. With the help of the information obtained from them and Ian’s hat, he was very happy. Easily divination to the specific location of Ian. He is safe now, with the ghostly Miss Extraordinary, and there is a man who is suspected to be an Extraordinary beside them.
This made Klein a lot easier, at least he could be sure that Ian was safe, but he had no idea of going to Ian. Not only the two illegals around him, but also some of the things they were negotiating, also made him give up this idea directly.
The right index finger tapped the bronze table, and Klein rested his chin with his left hand. He never thought that the third-generation manuscript of the mad scientist Turani von Hermershein was in the hands of Ian and the others. They even Also intends to use this manuscript to complete some plans, and Ian also mentioned that MI9 arranged all this.
This is MI9 planning to use this manuscript for fishing! It seems that I have to be more careful these days, don’t get involved… But Klein looked at the ripples on the side of his seat. Someone read “The Fool” in ancient Hermes last night. The honorable name is the Beyonder mentioned by Miss Justice who asked him to investigate.
Just when trying to pull her into the gray fog, Klein performed a divination as usual, and the answer he could get was that pulling her into the gray fog was dangerous. With another suspected high-sequence Beyonder. Although the danger was low, it also made him temporarily give up the idea of pulling her above the gray fog.
But he only gave up temporarily. Klein has been in Backlund for more than a week and found that this place is completely different from Tingen. In Backlund, which has a population of millions, it is too difficult to find one or two people. He needs that Beyonder and her circle to expand his understanding of Backlund.
Klein looked at the citrine necklace on the cuff, untied it, and prepared to perform another divination. If there was no danger, he would pull her into the gray fog; if there was, wait for a while.
Adventure is sometimes a must!
Looking at the citrine pendant slowly turning counterclockwise, Klein breathed a sigh of relief, showing paper and a pen, ready to perform dream divination.
……
With the arrival of three o’clock, figures appeared one after another on both sides of the long bronze table.
Is it a woman… Hugh, or Forsi? Pass the test? Or someone else?
Audrey, who was sitting on the left side of the long bronze table, was the first to notice that there was another person beside her. She almost forgot to say hello to Mr. Fool, she just wanted to carefully observe the characteristics of the new members.
Even if the other party’s figure is blurry, you can still see the color and outline of the hair, and hear the accent and idioms!
Audrey, who was already a “Mind Reader”, resisted her desire to observe, lifted her skirt, and said to Klein, who was at the top of the long bronze table:
“Good afternoon, Mr. Fool.”
After greeting, she did not hide her curiosity, glanced at the new member in the same row as her, and asked with a smile:
“Who is this?”
Klein sat leisurely in the seat belonging to The Fool, looked around and said:
“This is Miss Magician, our new member.”
Then, he looked at Fors and introduced them one by one:
“This is Miss Justice, this is Mr. Emperor…”
Rawls, who was sitting in the first position on the right, frowned. He had already handed over the main materials of “Master Trick” to Yalysia. Forsi should now be a Sequence 8 Beyonder, babbling to the full moon. You should have the corresponding resistance, how could you be pulled into the Tarot Club?
not good! Rawls turned his gaze to Alger Wilson, the “Hanged Man” beside him. He had just obtained the blood of the deep-sea marlin from Alger. As long as Fors knew this, he would definitely doubt it. Stop him first.
After Klein finished reading Roselle’s diary provided by Alger, Rawls turned slightly to look at Alger, and asked:
“Mr. ‘The Hanged Man’, regarding the last transaction, I have two rewards, you can choose any one.”
Sitting across from Rawls, Audrey, who had already recognized the “Magician” as Forsi, looked at Rawls with some doubts. In his impression, Mr. Emperor would rarely be the first to speak. They usually wait until everyone is finished before asking. Moreover, his actions were very strange, and he deliberately showed a very impatient look, which was inconsistent with his previous performance.
“The Hanged Man” Alger didn’t notice the weirdness~www.mtlnovel.com~ He just nodded, indicating that Rawls can tell the two rewards first.
“The first reward is 600 pounds, and the second reward I can tell you about the ceremony of becoming a Sequence 5 ‘Ocean Singer’.”
Alger did not hesitate and chose the second reward. For him, the 600 pounds was far less important than the Sequence 5 ceremony. Moreover, since the “Emperor” knows the ceremony of the “Ocean Singer”, he must know the formula of the Sequence 5 potion, even if it is only the main ingredient.
Rawls is not surprised by Alger’s choice. He is very aware of the attractiveness of his remuneration to Alger. He didn’t want to use this knowledge as a reward, but in order to keep Alger from telling the blood of the deep-sea marlin, he had no choice but to do so, not to mention that money was extremely important to him now.
Soon, he wrote down the ceremonies required to become a Sequence 5 “Ocean Singer” on parchment, and passed it to Alger via “The Fool”. Alger looked at the ceremony on the parchment and felt a little excited. He was sure that there was nothing wrong with the ceremony.
“Take a potion in the stomach of an Obnis…” He silently read the content of the ceremony, and the corresponding information quickly emerged in his mind:
Obonis is an ancient sea monster that can directly swallow a sailboat. It has a huge twisted body, as many as three heads, and tangled tentacles. It is the protagonist of many legends at sea. More importantly, most of these sea monsters have been tamed by the Church of the Storm and have a fixed area of activity.
And Forsi, who was sitting opposite Alger, was already stunned. She is only a Sequence 8 now, and she was promoted yesterday, but they were actually exchanging Sequence 5 information!
