"Do you have to wait until the next time? It doesn't matter, as long as this interesting story can continue."
"Then Mr. Watson, please reveal the last card."
Mr. Sean Asmon reminded.
"Okay, let's take a look at our luck at the end."
Shade casually opened the center card of the five by five, and then threw the "King" card on the table.
The demonologist was not disappointed at all. He smiled and handed [Song of Cats and Dogs: Eternal Guard] to Shade:
"It seems that your luck is still good."
Xia De asked curiously:
"Another card. So Mr. Asmon, will you stay in this city in the future?"
"It will probably stay for a while. Although the prediction is that a catastrophe will happen here soon, but as I said, a big city with accumulated wealth and impetuous people is the most suitable for a scholar like me to find business.
"
He stood up and nodded slightly to Shade:
"The more prosperous and stable a place is, the more complicated the desires, and the more people are curious about the mysterious knowledge of demons or trying to change their destiny through demons. Goodbye Mr. Watson, I hope we can meet again in a strange place in the near future.
Cities meet each other by a wonderful coincidence."
"Goodbye and thanks again for the cards."
Shade watched the demonologist leave, and when his footsteps gradually weakened along the stairs, Megan walked out of the bookshelf:
"Look, it turns out you're still playing cards."
The witch teased, and Shade shook the [Song of Cats and Dogs: Eternal Guard]:
"Not playing cards, but you're always here?"
"You didn't come until the end of the story."
"Then do you think there was anything unusual about the person sitting across from me just now?"
Meghan raised her eyebrows in surprise:
"I don't know what you want to ask, but I don't feel any strange power in him. My evaluation of him is the same as my evaluation of men other than you - a disgusting guy, and he looks very strange. What, then
Someone has a problem?”
Shade shook his head:
"No problem, he is my friend and has been telling me devil stories."
With that said, he quickly walked to the window on the second floor, put on the [Crow's Eye] and leaned against the window, squinting and looking down.
At this time, Mr. Sean Asmon had already walked out of the front door of the club. He held the black notebook under his arm and swayed slightly into the thick fog. In the fog, there were figures of a black dog and a black cat.
I followed him in a flash.
Shade squinted his eyes slightly. No matter how he looked at the figures of the two animals, they looked like
"looking at what?"
Megan also came to Shade, but at this time Mr. Asmon had already walked away in the fog.
"nothing."
Shade stroked her hair naturally, and the witch patted him shyly:
"Don't tell me it's nothing, you must have discovered something."
"But it's not the time to solve this matter yet. There are too many things in this world that we don't know. Maybe it's my misunderstanding, maybe there's a real problem, or it's just a coincidence. In short, we will meet again, and I'm still looking forward to it.
Let’s tell the story next time.”
Megan nodded and kissed Shade gently on the side of his face:
"Can you let me go back to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square with you tonight?"
She had also touched the statue in the basement of her home. Of course Shade understood what she meant and nodded with a smile:
"sure."
"Ahem~"
A cough came from behind the two of them, and when they turned their heads, Nadia Foran, whom they had not seen for a long time, had appeared behind them.
This woman has a silver dragon-shaped badge hanging on her chest. She is in her thirties and has vertical pupils. But her hair color is the same brown as Meghan and Audrey. This is a hair color inherited from the Edwards family.
color:
"I don't believe that with the strength of your perception, you two would not have noticed me walking up the stairs."
She looked at the two of them carefully:
"Or are you deliberately showing off your love in front of me?"
Shade coughed awkwardly, but Megan didn't care at all:
"The time is now seven forty-five. It's really on time, cousin. Then you come and talk to him, and I'll be on guard nearby."
After saying that, he waved to Shade and walked into the bookshelf again.
Shade made an invitation gesture, and instead of talking to the woman in front of him by the window, he returned to the table where he was telling stories.
The latter's attitude towards Shade was quite rude:
"They seem to be really fascinated by you. A man like you must have many tricks and tricks."
"I'm not sure why you are so hostile to me."
Nadia Foran frowned and looked at him:
"You took away all the family's property by seducing my older but never married cousins. If the story of the family were a book, then your behavior is simply the worst ending to the story."
In a way, what she described is actually correct.
"I have a question: Do you dare to say that they are very old in front of them?"
Shade asked curiously.
"you!"
"Okay, okay, speaking of which, how are your sons, Mr. Fulan, doing? How are they living after returning to Willendale?"
Nadia Fallon's tone became gentler:
"Why, as an 'elder', you want to care about them? They are living a good life, what trouble can there be in Willendale's life? Besides, they are backed by the [Rosicrucian Order] and have many friends. The church knew this when they were in Green Lake
Their identities, but then tacitly agree that they can act however they want, which is good enough."
She looked at Shade:
"Okay, don't say these meaningless words. Do you really think of yourself as the head of the Edwards family? Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"Before starting the formal topic, please allow me to say one last sentence: Your father Edward, together with his brothers Hohenheim, Alphonse, and sister Maria, according to their last wishes, have been buried behind the old family house.
The flowerbed was hit.”
After speaking, he ignored the expression of the woman in front of him:
"I want to know the plan of the [Dragon Eater Order], the divine descending plan."
He was very forthright, and then received a blunt rejection:
"You may not have noticed, but I am still a member and believer of the cult. It is impossible for me to betray."
Of course, Shade never thought that she would tell such a secret directly:
"Then what can you say about the chosen one? There is also the giant egg and the [Bone Sacrifice Sword]."
Nadia Foran raised her eyebrows:
"This question is actually the same thing as your first question, so I can't say anything about it."
Now Shade understood that the egg was indeed related to the divine descending ceremony;
"The sage-level relic [Scale of the Time and Space Dragon] and the clerical-level relic [The Egg Incubator at Shire Farm] that were stolen from the local Dawn Church half a month ago should be the same thing as the first question, so you also
You can’t say it right.”
The middle-aged woman said nothing, and Shade understood again:
"Actually, it doesn't matter even if you leave the cult. The Green siblings, your aunt Maria's grandson and granddaughter, are planning to revitalize and run Paradise Island. Although they have the help of their ghoul father who has not yet left, there is no way for them to leave.
There is a lack of manpower. Even Megan’s company can’t give you a position.”
"If you want to persuade me to renounce my faith, then you don't have to. If you continue to talk about this topic, I will get up and leave now."
She didn't seem to be joking at all, so Shade changed his words:
"So what can you say?"
"The ceremony starts on Sunday or Monday or Tuesday."
"What? But it's already Wednesday now. If it's Sunday, there won't be much time left."
Shade was really surprised this time:
"And the ritual you are talking about is"
"Yes, what you want to ask. In fact, even if I don't tell you, the church will soon discover the clues of this ceremony. It is impossible to completely cover up the traces of such a large-scale ceremony, so it doesn't matter if I tell you."
The middle-aged woman warned:
"I'm not bragging, but even if you are really powerful, Godcaller, you are definitely no match for my lord."
Shade is certainly aware of this:
"We can't talk about the religious group's affairs, but we can talk about the [Light Worshipers Training Association]'s affairs, right?"
"certainly."
She raised her eyebrows again, leaning sideways at the table and looking at the densely packed bookshelves:
"If it can cause trouble for those guys from the [Light Worshipers Training Association], of course I'll be happy."
"Why did they offend you? Aren't you in a cooperative relationship?"
"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? When we first infiltrated Yuewan, we did have a cooperative relationship, and they also promised to cooperate with us to find the seventh chosen one. But almost all major events that followed were
We were at the front, but now, the church's spearhead is pointing directly at us, and those crazy people who want to be the light are hiding."
Speaking of this, Ms. Fullan was obviously extremely resentful:
"Especially that Light Chaser, he hasn't even come to see us recently."
"Is there a possibility that they are planning to turn into light without telling you, and you are planning to descend from the gods without telling them, so you are not good people."
Xia De reminded, the middle-aged woman's mouth trembled:
"Do you always talk like this? No, you don't need to answer my question. Regarding the [Light Worshipers Training Conference], we don't have much more information than you do. Everyone can guess what they want to do. As for the specific plan
"
She pointed in the direction of the window:
"Look at this fog, this is part of the plan. The 'Edge of Life and Death' that was opened last Sunday was caused by them, but what they want is not undead unrest or death invasion, but to cover the whole city with fog. You should also find out
Now, the light accumulated in this dense fog is gradually increasing with time."
"Yes."
Shade nodded:
"You want to say that they are using this fog to continue to accumulate the power of special light?"
"Yes, otherwise relying only on sunlight and moonlight can cause serious damage in a short period of time, but it is obviously not enough to achieve their 'great' goal."
