"I heard that the Duke personally acted as guarantee so that you could come out smoothly? It seems that little Eileen helped a lot..."
"Hey, hey, hey...Teacher Anna, could you please stop touching my head? I always feel weird..."
"Ouch...what's wrong with the touch? Tsk tsk, you are a bit ugly with your bald head, but it feels quite easy to touch..."
"..."
Anna said with a gossipy face: "You really didn't kill Felan?"
Raymond said firmly: "No."
"That's strange..."
Anna blinked and muttered: "Tsk, tsk, when I heard the news just now, I thought you must have killed your 'love rival' because you couldn't help it. After all, the evidence was really unfavorable to you, no matter the motive, the witnesses
, you have all the evidence..."
"This is also where I'm confused."
Raymond pursed his lips and said: "The person who set up the trap must know that there is a gap between me and Faerun, and they also observed and understood many of my situations in advance... Even if Faerun does not die in the trial, I am afraid he will die somewhere sooner or later.
This is a murder scene specially tailored for me."
Anna dragged her cheeks and thought deeply: "Why is it necessary to frame you? You don't seem to have a particularly big enemy... your biggest love rival has become a victim..."
"The person who laid it out probably knew that this piece of evidence couldn't convict me, and it couldn't let me get away with it easily. The motive is really puzzling..."
Raymond also looked puzzled and continued: "I have already been to the Lord. He told me not to run around during this period, and he will handle other things. From the current situation, it seems that because of this matter
Son, the biggest impact is that it successfully aroused factional conflicts in the territory."
"The factional disputes have indeed become more and more fierce in the past two years..."
Anna obviously knew the situation in the territory and raised questions: "But the Clive family is the leader of the 'peace-seeking faction'! They wouldn't be so ruthless as to sacrifice their own son just to stir up trouble, right? I can
I heard that Feren is the future heir of the Clive family. Even if they want to intensify the conflict, they will not be so cruel..."
"This is also confusing... Maybe there is a third party that wants to watch the two factions in the territory fight among themselves so that they can reap the benefits? But it seems that there is no such force in the territory."
Raymond spread his hands, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "By the way, isn't Feren the second son of the Clive family? How could he become the first heir?"
"Oh...well...Phelan does have a half-brother who is very talented and talented. Unfortunately, he is just the child of old Clive and his ex-wife..."
"I heard that Old Clive and his ex-wife fell in love at first sight and had a romantic affair. However, a few years later, his ex-wife died unexpectedly... Of course, there are also rumors that it was Old Clive's clan elders who, for the benefit of the family,
During one of their adventures at sea, he planned to murder her..."
Anna slowly told a secret about the Clive family, and said: "Later, he married the eldest daughter of the Rodney family, and they joined forces... and they had Phelan. Naturally, this son was the only one who fit the two criteria.
The interests of the big family are the most suitable heir."
Hearing this, Raymond suddenly seemed to understand something, but he vaguely felt that he had missed something.
However, none of this is what Raymond has to consider now. He must now devote himself to preparing for the trip to "Hidden Moon Castle" in a few days.
Judging from the seriousness shown by the vampire boss, this trip may be a matter of life and death.
He and the boss are now like grasshoppers tied on a rope. They both prosper and suffer... No, to be precise, he should be buried with the boss when he dies. If he dies, the boss may not have any special consequences.
Big impact.
Although the boss never explained what was in the castle from beginning to end.
But Raymond also vaguely guessed that it might have a lot to do with his ability to survive the fierce battle in which the Pirate King's fleet attacked the navy headquarters.
Capone's determination to succeed or succeed also gave Raymond great confidence. At least such a big boss was prepared to fight to the death, and his chances of survival were much greater.
What's more, only by completing this mission will he be eligible to get the second "Haines' Death Note" and the "Kingdom Secrets" that Anna wants to restore the country...
Want to escape? Find out more about the vampire.
Raymond didn't simply think that this thing was the boss's kindness to save his life.
Some things will look good to everyone if you don't tell them clearly. If you really expose them, you will be seeking death. Those who can survive to that level in this great maritime world are definitely not good people, and none of them have simple means.
...
On this day, Raymond just walked out of the library. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by an unexpected person.
"Luna?"
Raymond looked coldly at the miserable-looking girl in front of him.
This is the only remaining one of the three Bella sisters. Ruth and the third sister Sissi both died in his own hands. Now he is curious, why is this guy still here?
Luna looked at Raymond with a look of fear all the time. When talking to him, her whole body was trembling, as if she was communicating with the devil.
"Raymon...this is the 150,000 quarks we stole from you before. Please let me go now...don't kill me, please..."
Raymond frowned when he heard this and said calmly: "I don't understand what you said."
"Ruth asked me to say sorry to you... If he doesn't agree to that person, someone will kill her. This money is also a reward for her, I haven't touched a penny..."
Luna was already sobbing, and she was so frightened, "Please...let me go...I am the only one left at home. My mother cried so much that she fell ill in bed when she heard the news of the deaths of Ruth and Sissi."
..Please, for the sake of old Mark, have mercy on us..."
Now the story of Feren's murder of Raymond has been spread throughout the college. Everyone has also heard that not only did Raymond not die, but he killed Ruth and her boyfriend for opposing Taylor, and even the financial backer, Fee
Lundu was killed.
That's a high-ranking noble. Everyone knows how terrifying the energy of the Feren family is. No matter who kills him, the final result will be the gallows.
After Raymond was arrested by the officers from the Public Security Department that day, everyone thought he would not survive.
But unfortunately, it didn't take long for everyone to hear the news that the Lord had released him on bail.
At this moment... everyone realized that Raymond was no longer what he used to be. He was no longer the good-for-nothing he had been before that could be ridiculed.
Regardless of whether he fell in love with Princess Eileen or not, it cannot be denied that at least he has a strong talent for potions. What's more, it is now rumored that he killed Faerun himself. In addition to exposing the fact that he has advanced to the extraordinary level, it also
Let people know that this guy is a "vicious" character who will exact revenge.
As soon as this incident broke out, many people connected it with the death of Sissi in Teabeard Tavern.
Everyone knows that the three sisters were at odds with Raymond before, and now because of this "discord", the vicious guy actually killed two sisters who had been living under the same roof for several years without mercy. This made the only one
How could the surviving Luna not be afraid?
Raymond didn't accept the money and sighed, "Don't be taken advantage of... When you come to the library to find me, someone must have given me some advice, right? Did that person say that the more people witness this scene, the more likely I will be?"
Don’t dare to kill you anymore?”
Luna looked flustered when she heard this, feeling embarrassed that someone had exposed her lie.
"Go away, stay still and don't run around."
A meaningful sentence.
Raymond glanced at the students watching from a distance, shook his head, and turned to leave.
He didn't ask in detail, and even if he wanted to ask, he would definitely not be able to do so.
The person who planned it was so thoughtful that he would definitely not leave such an obvious flaw.
Now, regardless of the facts of Feren's death, public opinion has completely concluded that Raymond is the murderer. If Archduke Philip had a strong attitude as a guarantee, he would have been ripped off by the old nobles.
The more this happens, the more obvious the conflict between the two factions in the territory becomes.
The rain is about to come, and the wind is blowing all over the house.
...
The day before the trip to "Hidden Moon Castle", in Anna's apartment.
"Wow, I finally deciphered the secret code of this damn 'Knicks Common Language' record!"
Raymond put down the dictionary in his hand, and then read the original Heines' notes from cover to cover.
"When you open this page, the truth of the world appears before your eyes..."
"People have always lived like beasts, but to pursue the truth..."
"We see the whole world from here, and when we see it, it becomes a shackles..."
"God said there would be light, and there was light. Is that light a miracle created by God, or is it just an illusion of your senses? Does the light in dreams really exist?"
"The essence of the movement of all things is energy... Then what is the essence of the soul? Energy? What is the essence of hatred, the rejection of soul energy?"
"..."
Raymond read the entire notebook carefully, but he did not see any secrets as expected, but only some simple philosophical questions.
"What is written here... Is it possible that you guessed it wrong? This notebook is not a secret book of job transfer skills? Or maybe it is like a 'Forty-Two Chapters'... I need to collect a few copies.
Did you just crack the secret?"
He was still confused, so he unknowingly flipped to the last page, and then he saw such a sentence recorded on it, and made a special note to read it out.
"The great sage Hayings once said, turn this page and you will see the truth..."
Although Raymond thought this line was very good, he vaguely felt that the words were a bit familiar. It seemed that Roland had similar words when he fought against the Shichibukai Hawk? Could it be the spell that turned on the magic in his eyes?
?
He didn't expect that as soon as he said these words, something strange happened.
The words in the notebook seemed to come alive one by one, flying and reorganizing in front of the eyes, which was dazzling. After a moment, those fluorescent words actually reorganized into a brand new note, which was impressive for people to read.
The contents of the notes were completely different.
"It turns out...Hains also wanted to record the essence of this...soul..."
Raymond read the content of the text, and it took him a long time to recover from the shock. It was like reading a philosophical text, and he felt confused as if he had understood nine of the ten tricks and still knew nothing about it.
At this moment, before he had time to savor the deeper meaning of the note, the system prompt suddenly sounded again.
At this moment, the professional skills he was looking forward to finally appeared.
[Ding! You have read the exclusive skill transfer book, and you have understood the exclusive skill ‘Redead Soul Stripping’! 】
[Redead Soul Stripping (Level A)] lv0
Experience required to upgrade: 0/300
Active special effects: strip away the obsession of the dead and steal the soul’s information.
Detailed explanation: Living is boring, you prefer death, preferably fresh and warm;
"Soul-searching method?"
When Raymond saw the explanation of this skill, a common villain's evil method in fantasy novels immediately popped into his mind.
"The skill is now at level 0. Can it only peel off souls whose soul strength is not higher than your own? Can it also steal information fragments lower than your own extraordinary level?"
Raymond suddenly felt that it was a bit useless. He was only at Sequence 9 now. Doesn't this mean that this skill can only be used by ordinary people who are one level lower?
Huh, that's not right... The strength of the stripped soul is not higher than his own? But now Raymond's soul strength data has always been a question mark, and he can't see how much it is, and he doesn't know how strong it is. Thinking about it, at least it is better than
Generally, Sequence 8 extraordinary beings are stronger.
"This skill will probably be very useful when it is upgraded to a higher level... But why does it cost 300 potential points to upgrade to a higher level?!"
Raymond frowned, and at the same time he had some expectations in his heart. The greater the demand for upgrading the skill band, the higher the quality of the skill.
Nowadays, the more skills you learn, the more gaps you have in your potential points.
"This is really a headache..."
(Note: Soul strength includes but is not limited to mental strength.)
At this time, Raymond glanced at it and showed a bit of surprise.
He unexpectedly discovered that the "Haines' Death Note" in his hand had now turned into a piece of equipment with attributes.
[Haines' Code of Death]
Mental spell damage increased by 1%
Skill: [Forbidden Technique·Sealing Soul] can seal an independent soul.
Detailed explanation: The soul equipment made by Haines can improve the attributes of the equipment by sealing the soul, and enable the secret book to obtain a certain attribute exclusive to the soul.
"Equipment with active skills?"
At first glance, Raymond's 1% increase in spell power seems inconspicuous. But it actually comes with a growable main skill...
Seal the soul? Weapon spirit or enchantment special effects?
...
Raymond stayed in Anna's apartment for many days, enjoying the beautiful scenery, delicious food, and full benefits, which made him feel quite happy and unhappy.
