Within the eerie and mysterious fog, a dark castle loomed.
Sometimes it is solid, sometimes it is ethereal, as if it is there but not there.
In the deepest hall of the castle, no one sat on the twelve empty seats. Only on the top throne sat a man wearing a dress and a high hat, his whole face obscured by fog.
He seemed to be waiting for something, then raised his head slightly.
"You made a wrong decision, Rathomond..."
After he stopped speaking, the castle and seats all faded away, until they really disappeared into the thick fog, leaving only a long message.
"It's not yet time, Yi..."
…
On the fifth day after the incident with the Davis family, Victor returned to his home in Renekton, Incense Mansion.
Ms. Permis was still busy alone, and Mr. Conan sat on the wicker chair by the door and dozed off until the sound of horse hooves sounded and a carriage stopped outside the gate of Xianxiang Mansion.
"You're back, Victor?"
The guard woke up and looked up to see a familiar face.
He learned from the "Master" that the family's deacon was arranged to go away on business, and no return date was given. Who would have thought that the deacon would come back now and disturb his sweet dreams?
However, the doorman froze only halfway through his words, because he discovered that there was a slender "young man" following the deacon today.
"This is the new coachman hired by the master." Victor only said one sentence to Mr. Conan and walked into the front yard.
Mr. Conan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask any other questions.
The same situation happened in front of the house. Ms. Permis came out to take out the trash and bumped into Victor. She was about to complain when she also saw the mysterious "young man".
"The coachman Mr. Will asked me to hire."
Victor gave a simple answer, but he observed that Permis's expression was so unbelievable.
Only then did he suddenly remember that Will had promised to hire two more maids to help Permis share the housework, but instead of looking for the maids, he hired a coachman who was not usually very busy and came back for free.
Embarrassment suddenly appeared on Victor's face. He coughed and fooled Pemis: "When you are busy, he can do housework part-time..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Victor finished speaking, the "cartman" dismantled his stage.
"No, this is not what I'm good at."
This new "rookie" made a nonchalant expression as he spoke.
Victor glared at her and quickly dragged her into the inner room.
"My house is not enough for you, so you have to sleep in the carriage every day." As soon as the two entered Victor's bedroom, Victor shouted to Eredin rudely.
Eredin frowned and raised his finger to point in a certain direction.
"I was passing by the corridor just now and saw an empty room."
"That's a room reserved for servants. We will hire two more servants in the future and put a bunk bed in that room." Victor rolled his eyes.
"Oh, that's great. I've seen how the Daemon family treats guests." Eredin also rolled her eyes.
"Fuck! You're not a guest." Victor pulled his hair wordlessly, "You followed me all the way, even evading fares on the train, and followed me to Renekton. What on earth do you want to do?"
"Ah...I advised you to take the carriage at that time, so that I wouldn't have to evade fares and could easily sleep together with you." Eredin smiled shamelessly.
Victor was furious at her words: "You still have the nerve to talk about the carriage? If you hadn't pretended to be a coachman and made trouble with me, overturning the carriage and running away with a horse, I could have driven for a whole day in the wilderness on two fleshy legs.
How long does it take to get to the train station?”
Eredin hurriedly took two steps back and put his hands in front of him to deny Victor's accusation: "Your honor, I protest! It was obviously you who rushed up and hit me first..."
"Damn..." Victor cursed something the other party couldn't understand in his native language, and when he was about to continue scolding, the door was knocked. Ms. Permis heard their quarrel and asked what happened outside the door.
"No, nothing happened!" Victor comforted Paimis, fooled her into leaving, then turned to Eredin and said, "Go to the carriage in the backyard, I don't want to see you."
Eredin shrugged, stopped fighting for her accommodation conditions, and walked to the door.
But before she left, she turned around and asked again: "By the way, how much is my commission?"
"No commission! Get lost!"
…
After driving away Eredin, Victor could finally calm down and have a good rest.
During his journey in the past few days, his sleep quality was quite good, so he could safely recall his current situation and gains before falling asleep.
I originally thought that after killing Amanda, the Anti-Suppression Department would have no place for him.
Unexpectedly, Amanda also betrayed William and did those things without telling him. Therefore, William did not suspect Victor about Amanda's disappearance and death, and wanted him to replace Amanda's position as the assistant minister.
It seems that the previous missions have allowed Victor to gain William's trust.
Did he end up with a narrow escape and get only a promotion in return?
Moreover, this position of assistant minister is not what Victor desires. There are only two things he wants: to kill Albert who threatens his life and to obtain the priest's secret message III.
The first one did it, and the second one just let it happen.
However, Elode, the old man, came out to cut him off and took away the third secret of the physical form.
According to what William said, he seemed to have passed the threshold, and he might have been hiding somewhere long ago and been promoted to the seer of the Third Secret.
Uncomfortable...
It's like the meat you got was taken away by a dog.
Victor felt very uncomfortable.
But...he was not completely without gains. After all, he still had the Secret Dream Transmission III that he got from Amanda.
The spine was taken back from the storage place by Victor, and no one noticed that there was such an extra item in his bag along the way.
So is it possible that Victor can use the conversion rules of the Wheel of Fortune again to convert this dream three into a butterfly three?
He decided to give it a try and get rid of this human spine as soon as possible now so that no one would notice Ye Changmengduo.
But now there is a question, that is, when Victor transformed into Dream II before, his fate was reversed once according to the path rules. If it is reversed again this time, will it be reversed again?
I always feel that there is something wrong, but I have to try it no matter what...
Last time, Victor held Meng Er's sealed object in his hand. Although he didn't bring it into the secret residence, he still completed the transformation. So this time he followed suit, holding Amanda's spine with one hand and holding the key with the other.
, carried out a dream.
Soon, he entered the secret place, with the Taoist temple behind him firmly supporting him.
Just like last time, he put on his yellow clothes and stepped into the thick fog of the secret hotel to find his destiny.
But after walking for a long time, Victor didn't encounter any strange events, and he was even lucky enough not to encounter any weird secret creatures.
"Could it be that...a path rule can only work once for the same person?"
