Forsi glanced at the "Personal Geography of the Fusac Empire" in his hand, blinked his light blue eyes, and looked at Alicia on the sofa opposite with some confusion. This book has something to do with potions.
What's the relationship? Why do you say it's a digestive potion?
Alicia's expressionless face also changed, and a look of disappointment flashed across her face. Forsi didn't even know the formula for "Master of Magic", so how could he know the "acting method"!
"If you want not to be affected by the potion, you must learn to digest the potion. The name of the potion is the key. Learn to act..."
The "acting method" is just common sense to Tamara, who was once a member of the fourth era angel family. Even her tribe members who have not become extraordinary people know it. In the fourth era, Tamara, Augustus, and Castile
, including angel families such as Tudor and Trunsoest who have access to "lawyers" and "arbitrators". In order to complete the performance, professions such as judges and lawyers will be monopolized by them.
Forsi, who had just become a "Master of Magic", was originally a little happy and excited, but after listening to Alicia's "acting method" and looking back on his experience after becoming an "apprentice", he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Fortunately, she had just become an Extraordinary at that time and had enough desire to explore mystical knowledge. She fit the role of "apprentice" and was not affected by the power of the potion.
"Finally, you have to remember that you are just pretending!"
After Alicia's last warning, Forsi nodded heavily. For her, she would definitely take learning this kind of life-and-death knowledge seriously.
Alicia looked at Forsi who was deep in thought, her slender eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and her voice was calm but full of majesty:
"Stop thinking, start meditating, the moon is rising."
Forsi subconsciously wanted to look out the window, and then began to think about how Alicia knew that she would be affected by the full moon, but she neither moved nor asked, her body had begun to enter a meditative state, and her originally distracted spirit also
Concentrate.
As a Sequence 4 "Law Mage", even without using the "Law Order", Alicia can make Forsi, who is only a Sequence 8, act according to her instructions with her own majesty.
Alicia looked towards the window with the curtains drawn. The dim light of the gas street lamp outside was reflected on the curtains. The night had fallen, and the full crimson moon was about to rise. There was a curse on the Abraham and Tamara families.
It's coming.
In the Battle of the Four Emperors in the Fourth Age, in addition to the Pluto Emperor whose power was concentrated in the southern continent, the resurrected Black Emperor, the half-crazy Blood Emperor, and the Night Emperor who had the support of the Seven Gods all fought in person.
In addition, the true creators and seven true gods who allied with the Black Emperor also went to battle. However, due to the conflicts between the seven gods, no more than three true gods took action at a time. Most of the time, they cooperated in pairs: the goddess of the night.
The Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the Earth Mother, the Eternal Sun and the God of War, and the God of Craftsmen will only occasionally take action.
Although there are conflicts among the seven gods, the Tudor Empire has only one true god and cannot confront the Trunsoest Empire, which has deployed at least three true gods. It can only unite the two true gods of Solomon's Second Empire. But this does not alleviate the situation.
The crisis of the Duo Empire. After all, the Blood Emperor once betrayed the Black Emperor. Although the True Creator is powerful, His madness is no worse than that of the Blood Emperor.
For the five nobles who supported the Tudor Empire, what must be done to ensure the continuation of the family. The Amon family and the Jacob family fought with each other, and the Tamara family even "lost" Sequence 1. Only the ancestors of the Abraham family
Only then will "Mr. Door" Bethel Abraham and Antigonus have the opportunity to go one step further and become true gods.
However, "Mr. Door", who is recognized as the most likely to become the true god, suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. After his disappearance, some members of the Abraham family and Tamara family suffered a terrible curse. Then the ancestors of the Jacob family and the Amon family
He also disappeared mysteriously, leaving only the ancestor of the Antigonus family.
After that, the Tudor Empire began to collapse...
Before the collapse of the Tudor Empire, the surviving tribesmen wanted to know the origin of the curse and asked their ancestor Tamara, who was still alive but in poor condition at the time, but he could only guess that the curse was related to the missing "Mr. Door". Because Tamara
The members of the La family who encountered the full moon's whispers are all descendants of the marriage with the Abraham family, and are the bloodline of "Mr. Men".
In order to help those people get rid of the curse, the Tamara family held a grand prayer ceremony, hoping that the "Mist of Uncertainty" they secretly believed in would give them a way to lift the curse, but He refused.
After the fall of the Tudor Empire, the Tamara and Abraham families, who could have fled under the protection of the Antigonus family ancestors, split. The Abraham family, who yearned for freedom and valued the family's glory, left alone, and then the Tamara family
The tribesmen who were tortured by the full moon's whispers also left, and only the tribesmen of Alicia's lineage followed the ancestors of the Antigonus family and fled into the Hornacis Mountains.
As a member of the Tamara family, Alicia's greatest wish is for her people to live a normal life instead of hiding in dark corners. But she also knows that this is not realistic, and she has only buried this wish all this time.
In her heart, it wasn't until she met Rawls, noticed something strange about him, and the angel's divination some time ago that she regained hope...
If you want the Tamara family to return to normal life, the family alone cannot do it, and you must find allies. The Abraham family, who were once married to each other and had the same experience, is the most suitable choice, but the full moon curse of the Abraham family makes them
It is difficult to regain the original strength.
Even looking at Forsi's current situation, without the Sequence 8 formula and without knowing the "acting method", Alicia doubted whether the Abraham family still existed. But other than the Abraham family, where could the Tamara family find allies?
The tribesmen who separated thousands of years ago have abandoned their family's glory and believed in the "original witch", but even then they couldn't get rid of the full moon's ravings.
Alicia, who was deep in thought, looked at Forsi opposite. She had just taken off the "Crimson Heart", but she was still sensitive enough to the crimson color. The full moon was here!
Forsi, who was originally immersed in a meditative state, left his original state, reached out and hugged his head, and fell into the pile of books next to him. His beautiful face instantly became a little distorted, as ferocious as a demon, low and low.
A scream came from his mouth, and blood-colored saliva flowed down...
Alicia didn't make any move. The bottle of transparent potion she had prepared before flew up and poured it into Forsi's open mouth. This was the soothing potion she had prepared, which could restrain the collapsed spirituality of the Extraordinary. Although
It cannot reduce the effects of the full moon's gibbering, but it can reduce the effects of the "Master of Tricks" potion just taken.
After the transparent potion was roughly poured into Forsi's mouth, Alicia used her "invisible hand" to hold her mouth to prevent the potion from flowing out.
…
Inside No. 58 Minsk Street, Klein was sitting on the couch looking at a group of half-year-old children in front of him. He kept rubbing his temples with his right thumb. He regretted why he accepted Ian's commission to give these guys
Send food.
This is the second time he has come to deliver food. The last time he came to deliver food, he was scrutinized by these children, which made Klein feel that he had encountered a child soldier. However, he had dealt with these children before and still obtained
I have trust, but it seems that I trust too much.
After the bread and milk were delivered this time, these half-grown children began to ask him where Ian had gone? What he had done? Is he safe? But they didn't know what Ian had gone to. How could Klein know?
, not to mention that he has been deliberately staying away from the bridge area for his own safety.
"Joel, I really don't know where Ian has gone. Although I am a detective, I have just come to Backlund and I don't know as much about this place as you do. After I came here, except for the things that Ian entrusted me to deliver to you,
Apart from food, I haven’t received any other commissions yet!”
Klein didn't talk about sending the message. He was afraid that these children would not understand the situation and go to the Brave Bar to find Ian, which would be a big sin for him. Although he didn't know what incident Ian was involved in.
, but judging from the ghost-like extraordinary person, it is definitely not a trivial matter.
But it was true that he had never received any other commissions, which made him somewhat fortunate to have invested in Leppard's bicycle project. Although it cost him another 100 pounds, he believed that his investment would be rewarded.
But what makes Klein really sad is that his one-month advertisement in the Backlund Post cost him a full 30 pounds, but he got nothing.
Joel was the short mixed-race kid who came to his door shortly after he moved into No. 15. He was quite intelligent and eloquent. After Ian left, he temporarily became the leader of the group of children, which also gave Klein a headache.
The mixed-race Joel touched the back of his head and smiled stupidly:
"Of course I know you just arrived, and I also introduced you to the news about Backlund, but now the boss won't let us go out! You don't need to ask for the boss's specific news, just go to the bridge area and see what's going on.
, just come back and tell us."
He patted his thin chest and made a promise:
"Although the boss is not here, I can guarantee that we will be your source of information in the future, and we will not charge you any money. Do you agree?"
At the end of his speech, Joel glanced at the children around him, and immediately got their approval, and they all spoke out.
"agree!"
"I agree."
"no problem."
…
After hearing this, Klein rubbed his temples a little faster. He looked at the mixed-race Joel opposite him angrily. He said good things and made promises, but he didn't know how to refuse. After all, he said good things and made promises.
To them, this commission is just a small matter.
However, I can also try to ask them about Ian's previous events. Maybe I can divine something from them... Thinking of the big boy who gave him a good guy card, Klein sighed. An ordinary person was involved in this.
Among the extraordinary people, in the internal files of "Nighthawks", there is no good end, and death is already a better treatment.
"Okay, I can help you look for it, but how do you know that Ian may be in the bridge area?"
As the interim leader, Joel can only answer Klein’s question:
"Boss and we were in the Bridge Area before, because something might happen there, so we came to the Jowood Area. Although he didn't say anything before he left, we all knew that he must have returned there. Before..."
…
Klein pushed open the door of No. 58 Minsk Street and walked towards his home. He learned some things about Ian's past from Joel.
Ian was previously hired by a detective, Zerrell Victor Lee, to help him find out information. After Detective Zerrell disappeared a few weeks ago, Ian also temporarily left Backlund and went to Pulitzer Harbor.
, and then made a fortune there. After returning to Backlund, he found a friend he had wandered with before and moved into No. 58 Minsk Street.
But as an adult, and knowing that there was an Extraordinary behind Ian, Klein knew that Ian was not that simple. Even in Joel's description, he could find many problems.
Why did Detective Zerrell, who hired Ian, disappear mysteriously? Why did Ian, who made a fortune in Pulitzer Harbor, return to Backlund? Why did he know that there was danger in the Bridge Area? And why did he move into a middle-class gathering?
The Jowood area?
You must know that the cost of living in the Jowood area is not low. According to Klein’s landlord, Mrs. Summer, a weekly salary of less than 3 pounds is a bit dangerous. This is only for Klein who lives alone, let alone those who are more than ten years old.
What about a half-grown child?
Even if there is no problem with these, how come there is an extraordinary person behind Ian?
Klein sighed. There are too many mysteries about Ian, so let’s go back and do some divination! Many places in the bridge area in Joel’s narrative are places where Ian once appeared, and I still have Ian’s hat.
After glancing at the red full moon in the sky, Klein strode forward. After taking a few steps, he looked up at the sky again. Full moon? Sunday?
Is it related to the full moon that the "Emperor" is so anxious to get the blood of "Deep Sea Marlin"?
Klein, who suddenly laughed at his conjecture, shook his head and continued walking towards No. 12 Minsk Street.
…
Slowly getting up from the pile of scattered books, Forsi rubbed her forehead again, smoothed her sweat-soaked hair, touched her sore and painful chin, and sat on the sofa again. She calmly
Lan's eyes were a little blurry, and Alicia sitting opposite her was also a little blurry.
"Try to meditate first, then take a night's rest. I'll tell you what you want to know tomorrow."
Forsi blinked and found that Alicia in front of her had disappeared, as if it was just an illusion. But after taking a look at the small box on the table, she realized that this was really happening. She shook violently.
head and entered a meditative state.
Five minutes later, she opened her eyes and sighed:
"Finally alive!"
Looking at the books scattered on the floor, Forsi was startled. The rest of the books didn't matter, but there were also books borrowed from Audrey! So he hurriedly searched for those two books, and found that "
The cover of "Personal Geography of the Fusac Empire" has been damaged, and there seems to be something else inside.
It seemed to be an ancient piece of paper. Forsi carefully took it out and found that the front of the paper was covered with special symbols created by Emperor Russell, and an ancient Hermes text was written on the back.
"Emperor Russell's special symbol has been cracked?"
Forsi suddenly became excited. She struggled to identify the ancient Hermes text and silently recited:
"A fool who does not belong to this age;"
"The mysterious master above the gray fog;"
"The King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck."
