It has just been a day since the nightmare undead incident. Since last night, many servants have been called to Kingsman's side to check, but fortunately nothing unusual happened.
"I sincerely thank you, Mr. Kelvis, and forgive me for being a full twelve hours late in expressing this emotion. This is a mistake that a Singer gentleman should not make." After the dinner, Teller said
The Duke walked up to Morses and expressed his gratitude to him.
Because of Morses's achievements, Duke Teller invited the young scholar to dinner.
"You have said it, Mr. Duke, this is what I should do as an employee." Morse responded with a smile.
The Duke handled this matter in a very low-key manner. According to Morsis's observation, not a trace of news came out. Even the servants who were inspected did not know the specific details of the matter. Butler Modi only said that it was a routine health issue.
examine.
"Hahaha, I like polite young people." Duke Teller laughed twice, then turned his head and saw Kingsman walking out of the banquet hall, and continued, "I have to go, Kelvi
Mr. Si, I’ll see you tomorrow, let’s go and have a rest.”
"Goodbye, Mr. Duke." Morsis bowed slightly and said.
Watching Duke Teller and Kingsman walk up the stairs together, Morse also sighed.
He didn't say anything about the strange gold coin, and he didn't know why. He just vaguely felt that he shouldn't tell anyone about it.
Just as he was thinking of this, he reached out and touched the gold coin in his pocket. It felt cool to the touch and the edges were smooth. It felt no different from touching an ordinary gold coin.
"This style of Tasok gold coins only began to appear in the past five years, which means that this nightmare should have escaped from the abyss within five years, escaped into the Eastern Continent, and died mysteriously." Morses said on the side.
Turning around, he sighed inwardly. He didn't plan to think too much about this gold coin for the time being. After all, it was not the top priority at the moment.
However, as soon as he turned around, he was startled and involuntarily stepped back a little.
"Hey, it's not good to be scary like this, Miss." Morsis looked at Adili with a smile on her face, patted her chest and said.
"Why, is the great hero who defeated the devil still afraid of this little fright?" Adili said with a smile.
Because of the nightmare undead matter, she did not go to Morsis as usual today, and Duke Teller also told her about the relevant matters.
"That's not a demon, it's just an undead. I can't defeat a real 'nightmare'." Morses shrugged and replied.
"Well, there is no difference. You must know that in the Singer Empire, people who can do such things will leave some legends. Well... But I have never been to the Singer Empire. These are all told to me by Beierle
"Yes." Adili raised her hand and touched the back of her head, and continued with a smile, "Let me walk with you, and tell me the story of the devil."
"I told you they were undead..."
The two walked side by side in the dim corridor, and Morse described yesterday's experience vividly, starting from when he found Butler Modi and ending with the elimination of the nightmare undead.
At this time, he also came outside his room.
"Well, it's not as exciting as I imagined." Adili frowned slightly, "I thought the battles of the transcendents would be as exciting as those described in the epics I read when I was a child."
Hearing the sound, Morsis raised the corners of his mouth slightly, which was also caught by Adili.
"Hey, why are you laughing? Are my words funny?" Adili stretched out a hand and put it on Morse's shoulder. At the same time, she moved her face closer to him and said in a half-questioning, half-threatening tone.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't get so close...Well...the battle between transcendent beings is not as grand as you think, at least most of the time." Morses quickly took two steps back, his cheeks slightly red.
road.
When Adili saw this, she was stunned for two seconds, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, you guy... you're quite cute." Seeing Morse's reaction, Adili immediately patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Don't say weird things... Ahem, the kind of 'epic' battle you call can only happen between two transcendent beings who meet by chance, or in a fair duel. In other words, as long as it's
For regular battles, the Transcendents will prepare for the purpose of 'quickly resolving the battle' and will never try to fight the opponent for too long. If the attack cannot be defeated for a long time, most people will choose to retreat immediately." Morsis coughed twice.
, started to explain as if nothing had happened, trying to regain some face.
"Hmm..." Adili withdrew her hand and walked around Morsis thoughtfully, leaving the latter looking confused.
"So you guys were really laughing at me just now, right?"
"Hey, hey, I'm really scared of you...Miss..."
…
"What do you think of this incident?" Duke Teller and Kingsman walked side by side in the dark corridor and asked in a serious tone.
"I think this guy definitely didn't break into the mansion on his own. There's no reason why the magic circle that has been strengthened countless times can't detect a monster as strong as Nightmare." When Kingsman said this, he changed his tone and said
He said in a very rare nervous tone, "Moreover, that is not a nightmare, but the undead that formed in the place after the nightmare died. This..."
"This is incredible, isn't it?" Duke Teller said for him expressionlessly.
"Yes, I really can't figure out why a nightmare undead appeared inside the mansion." Kingsman raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, sighing.
The two walked silently for a while, and after a while, Duke Teller broke the silence again.
"What were the test results?"
"All ordinary people in the mansion show no signs of being parasitized by nightmares, and the same goes for the transcendent ones... As for the storage room, after the undead dissipated, it is no different from an ordinary storage room." Kingsman paused and continued.
Said, "It's like, it's like that guy suddenly appeared there...or..."
"Or were they brought in?" Duke Teller asked again.
Kingsman nodded, and then said, "If this hypothesis is true, then Kervis is the biggest suspect."
"That young man is indeed a suspect, but in my opinion it's not serious." Unexpectedly, Duke Teller shook his head and denied Kingsman's words, "I have heard your description, and the nightmare had at least three
With the strength of the fourth level, that young man does not have the strength to cooperate with or kill this race that respects strength.
"Besides, because the nightmare is an undead, there are only two ways for it to enter the mansion.
"First, he was brought into the mansion by a transcendent person who was too powerful to be detected by the magic circle, and was killed by the opponent, leaving behind the undead.
"Second, it is a transcendent person who can control the undead, and directly controls it to come here..."
"Soul Shepherd?" Kingsman couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and blurted out a name.
Duke Teller nodded and continued, "The warden of Lacas, Scola Corless, is the only soul herder of Salius!"
…
September 14, 981, noon.
Morris didn't even eat lunch, so he quickly took a carriage that had been arranged in advance and left the tree-lined street.
His destination was the restaurant where he last met with Hillerton. After a few days, he finally received a letter from the other party last night.
Of course, there was nothing written on the letter. It didn't matter if others saw it. It only served as a notification.
"Please take a detour to pick me up. I don't need you to change." Morse got out of the car and handed the money to the driver.
"Haha, I wish you a prosperous business, sir." The driver quickly took the money and said with a smile.
It was obvious that he thought Morses was a businessman, just like the guys who came and went in the port area.
The coachman does not envy these guys, because they may still be in the so-called middle class today, but tomorrow they will be lower than themselves because of a business.
So he didn't want to say much to Morsis. After taking the money he deserved, he quickly left this land of right and wrong.
The port area is the place of opportunity for Salius, and it is also the entrance to hell.
After watching the carriage leave quickly, Morsis also turned around and glanced around the restaurant.
"I didn't see the figure of Shireden and that Siman, but there is a transcendent person nearby... It's a bit vague. Is the other party also a spiritual person?" Morses touched the gold coin from the nightmare undead in his pocket.
, said to himself, "It doesn't matter so much, let's go in first and talk about it later."
On the second floor of Catron Restaurant, in a private room, four transcendent persons, three men and one woman, were sitting quietly.
"Hileden, are you sure that guy can be a companion?" The woman suddenly said, "I just sensed his existence, it was very vague. Is he really a combat force that we can control?"
"I don't need you to tell me to know that that guy has a third-level combat power, which is comparable to you and me..." Hillerton replied calmly.
"Don't worry, Ms. Lyle, we can guarantee that that guy will never become a hidden danger!" A strong man sitting next to Hilleton said loudly.
"Hmph, it's useless to talk more. You don't want to tell me why you have such confidence. Is the kid's handle a very valuable secret?" The woman known as Lyle shook her head, "I just believe you.
I won't do it once, after all, the pressure brought by Lennon Sivans is really too much."
"That guy has a huge appetite and is not afraid of stuffing himself to death." A pale-skinned young man sitting next to Lyle said in a hoarse voice with a rather disdainful tone.
"I think Lennon has the strength and arrogance. Don't forget that the purpose of our cooperation is not to confront him head-on!" Hillerton frowned slightly when he heard this, but then his expression immediately relaxed.
Hillerton turned his head and focused his attention on the door.
At the same time, waves of steady and crisp footsteps came, the sound gradually grew louder and finally disappeared.
"Dong dong dong~" There was a knock on the door.
"You guys are having a great time chatting. Would you mind opening the door for me?" Morse's voice penetrated into the room.
