Rawls's brown eyes looked at the familiar room in front of him through the lowered curtains. Cold sweat slid down his face. The bed under him had been soaked with sweat, forming a vague human shape. His hair was also wet and stuck in strands.
together.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and reached out his hand to wipe away the cold sweat. He felt a slippery feeling all over his body, which was extremely uncomfortable. He opened the thin blanket covering his body, pushed aside the hanging curtains, got out of bed and went to the window to close the window.
Open.
The gloomy sky was filled with lead clouds. Although the October wind in Backlund did not howl, there was a faint chill. It blew into the bedroom along the open window and pierced into the skin along the loose nightgown, giving way.
Rolls, who was sweating all over, shuddered and got goosebumps.
He looked at the wall clock on one side of the wall. It was already pointing to one-ten. Rawls remembered that he fell asleep at twelve o'clock, which meant that he slept for at least an hour. But the time he was awake in the dream was very short.
, so short that he and Will Asceptin didn't chat for a few words, and he didn't even finish saying anything specific, only half of it.
If Will Auceptin hadn't noticed it in advance and told him to go to the fat pharmacist Darkwill first, then this dream would not have had any effect. Unless Allen met him again, without a medium,
It is unlikely that you will have another dream.
"In short, we have to find Will Asceptin first, otherwise we won't even know what to do." Rawls tightened his nightgown, and the slippery feeling on his body made him very uncomfortable, "First
Let’s take a shower and talk about it later.”
…
Amid the floating water vapor, Rawls lay in a circular bathtub that could accommodate three or four people. The water at the appropriate temperature embraced his body, which relaxed his tired nerves from the sudden awakening.
Will Asceptin is the "Snake of Destiny" in Sequence 1. It's not surprising that he knows that I'm going to Olavi, and it's normal for him to know the purpose of my trip... He thinks that I can help him do something, so he should
It involves the School of Life. After all, although he has restarted, he still has the ability to briefly return to Sequence 1.
Being in Backlund again, under the eyes of the goddess who holds the secret power, Ouroilius probably wouldn't dare to come here, but that's not necessarily the case. Who allowed him to grow up next to Zhenzao, so the possibility of being affected is still
very big.
Since Will Auceptin chose Backlund, in addition to Klein's reasons, he may also have the goddess's tacit approval. After all, he is Ouroleus's competitor, and the goddess will definitely not let go of someone who can weaken the opponent.
Chance……
So how did Will get in touch with the goddess? Moreover, Ourolius, as the Angel of Destiny among the eight kings of angels of the ancient Sun God, possesses two Sequence 1 characteristics, so how did Will become a person under his attention?
Sequence 1 even achieved uniqueness?
He was able to recognize that it was Pales with just one move based on the grandfather residing in Leonard's body. He had become a Sequence 1 existence at least in the Fourth Age. It seems that the Elf King has a subordinate god who is the "God of Luck"
, it is very likely that it is an identity of Will...
The relaxation after exhaustion made Rawls' thoughts wander. After thinking about many possibilities, he returned to focusing on his cooperation with Will.
The School of Life as a whole is a very loose organization, very similar to the current situation of the Abraham family, or even more loose. It is just that one is a small family composed of blood relationships, and the other is a small sect linked by the relationship between master and apprentice. The former is composed of elders.
The Council is the core, the latter has the Destiny Council as the core, and the latter is even looser.
Although Darkwill is due to problems within the organization, judging from his "wandering" experience, it is typical of a sheep-herding education. Now because Will, the speaker of the Parliament of Destiny, has disappeared, Ourolius is chasing and intercepting him.
, the Rose School’s foreign invasion, the Life School has fallen into crisis.
Will Auceptin shouldn't expect me to solve these problems, but at most solve some minor problems, such as using official power to fight against the Rose School? You can ask Sharon about this, but she and Maric have been hiding in Backlund
, may not be aware of the Rose School’s recent actions.
Moreover, Roy King, Darkwill's teacher, is imprisoned in the Governor's Mansion in Bairam, and the Destiny Councilor is hiding in Oravi, indicating that the School of Life should have a certain power in the Central Sunian Sea, but I don't know
You can still use some strength. This is where the help Will Auceptin mentioned should come from.
…
In the evening, the dark clouds that had been suppressed all day finally began to release. Pattering rain fell from the sky. A trace of cold air followed the rain and enveloped Backlund. The floating gray-yellow mist was washed down by the rain. It can be foreseen in the next few days.
The air will be much better.
But Rawls, who had already gone out, felt a little uncomfortable. This kind of weather was really not suitable for going out. The coldness accompanying the rain was not bad. With his physique, it was difficult to get sick without the influence of extraordinary abilities, but it was inevitable that his body would get wet from the rain.
, which made him quite uncomfortable after taking a shower in the afternoon.
He raised the black umbrella in his hand, allowing Rawls to see the road in front of him and the buildings on both sides more clearly. Although this is the Jowood District, the road is paved with cement, and Backlund has a good
The sewer system and the small pools formed by depressions in the ground that appear from time to time still require constant attention.
Because of a cold rain, there were not many pedestrians on Crystal Street. In addition, the umbrella cover made Rawls, who had just put on the mask, not attract anyone's attention. He quietly looked at the apartments on both sides:...No. 42
, No. 44, No. 46.
He glanced at the rope on the door, stretched out his hand to pull it, and the jingling bell rang. After a while, there was still no movement. Rawls frowned and pulled the rope again. A louder ringing sound came out this time.
Finally, a sound came out, and there was a sound of heavy footsteps approaching and then there was no movement.
He knew that the people inside were looking at the outside world through the peephole, but they could only see the black umbrella surface... Rawls coughed lightly and lowered his voice and said:
"Darkwill, I have something to ask you."
After a moment of silence, the door was opened through a small gap, and a figure poked out of it. It was a man in his thirties or forties with short black hair and a round face, wearing a shirt embroidered with various strange symbols.
Wearing a dark black robe, he held a potion bottle in his hand, and the purple-red liquid swayed with his slightly trembling arms.
"Who are you?"
Rawls put away his umbrella. He wore a black mask and looked at the trembling muscles on Darkwill's face through the two holes. He said in a low voice:
"Didn't your teacher teach you the etiquette of hospitality?"
Darkwill relaxed slightly and chuckled:
"If it were an old man, he wouldn't even open the door for you." After saying that, he pushed the door open and stepped back a few steps while still keeping his face, still holding the medicine bottle tightly in his hand.
"Does the School of Life even teach this?" Rawls glanced at him, ignored the bottle of potion, walked inside, and put the umbrella on the umbrella stand.
Darkwill was suddenly startled, and almost dropped the potion bottle in his hand. He glanced warily at Rawls, who had already walked to the living room, and then looked at the deserted street outside. There was a "bang" sound.
Close the door.
He held the bottle of potion, ran a few steps to Rawls who was already sitting on the sofa, and shouted in a low voice:
"Can you say this kind of thing outside casually? Are you not afraid of the 'punisher'..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the eyes of the masked man in front of him staring straight at him, which made him shudder, lowered his head and muttered:
"Okay, there's no one outside now." He put the potion bottle in his hand on his waist, put it into one of the secret pockets, and sat down opposite Rawls.
Seeing those dark blue eyes looking at him up and down, Rawls frowned slightly. Although Darkwill didn't speak, he always felt that he was provoking him.
"You should know why I came to you."
"You won't be looking for me to patronize those poor people's business." Darkwill lay back and half-reclined on the back of the sofa in an extremely inelegant manner, "The teacher sent me a message saying that someone came back to see me.
, I will take this person to a place and let him take something."
The corner of Rawls's mouth twitched under the mask, his eyes avoided Darkwill's terrible but extremely enjoyable lying posture, and he asked:
"When are we going?"
"Huh?" Darkwill straightened his upper body slightly and blinked, "Did I say I would take you there? How can you prove that you are that person?"
Rawls glanced at him sideways, stood up and walked towards the door without saying anything more... Darkwill, who was about to lie down, was startled. Seeing that Rawls was really going to leave, he quickly wanted to get up, but didn't
He fell off the wide sofa due to lack of exercise. The sound of shattering glass was heard, and he lay stiffly on the ground.
Rawls looked back when he heard the sound and saw purple smoke rising from Darkwill lying on the ground. He seemed to have fallen into a state of malaise after doing some kind of exercise he liked. He took a few steps closer.
After taking a look at him, I found that his eyes could still move, so I sat far away from the smoke and sat on the other side.
After the smoke dissipated, and after another three or four minutes, Darkwill gradually recovered and climbed onto the sofa, but his tongue still seemed a little stiff:
"Why are you"
"Why not... no..." He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't say a complete sentence, so Darkwill simply closed his mouth.
This is a potion he prepared by using the juice extracted from various datura and poisonous hibiscus juice. It is also a "domesticated" enhanced version that can make the person who inhales it fall into a state of stupor. If he hadn't been a Sequence 9 "
"Pharmacist" has a certain resistance to medicine, and he can be knocked unconscious for more than half an hour.
After a few more minutes, Darkwill felt that the effect of the potion had completely worn off. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, he heard the man opposite him say something that directly told him to shut up.
"This potion is very effective. It would be better if it only acts on your mouth!" As a "lawyer", Rawls's eloquence is definitely better than that of Darkwill, the "pharmacist".
Darkwill opened his mouth in vain, and his voice was dry:
"Okay, I know you are the one, come with me."
After he took out the broken potion bottle fragments from the secret bag, Darkwill took an umbrella and stood at the door, turning around and saying:
"I hate……"
Rawls stretched out his right hand and clenched his fist. The sound of cracking joints made him shut his mouth knowingly.
Fist is also a good method.
…
Dozens of minutes later, Darkwill, who had been silent all the way, took Rawls to the southern area of the bridge across the Tusok River. After walking around for another half an hour, they arrived in front of a small church.
This is the Harvest Church, one of the few churches of the Earth Mother Church in the Kingdom of Loen.
This golden church has a more eye-catching spire and the Holy Emblem of Life engraved on the outer wall. It is a simple baby surrounded by symbols such as wheat ears, flowers and springs, which is completely different from the surrounding buildings.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and it had rained before. Not many people came in or out of this church with very few believers, and the lights inside were quite dim.
"Are you sure you're here?"
Rawls looked at Darkwill beside him and found that he was also a little surprised and a little scared... It seems that he did not know that this location pointed here, and although the Church of the Mother Earth is not an orthodox church in Loen
, but it is still the Orthodox Church, and it also controls the "Medicine Master" path.
"I don't know either. Although I know there is a Harvest Church here, I have never been here. I found it based on the address in the old man's letter..."
Darkwill's lips trembled a little. He remembered the old man's previous warning, to be careful of official organizations and real vampires. He also gave many examples of being permanently imprisoned underground, neither seeing the sun nor the real vampires.
Women, how do they become researchers and use their bodies to test the dangers of certain sealed objects? How do they undergo various experiments and mutate into monsters with only instincts left? What do they do when they are sucked by vampires and turned into puppets?
But why did you bring me here, old man?
"How about you go in first?"
Rawls glanced at Darkwill and said in a low voice:
"Don't worry, I know the bishop here, he is a good man."
"Really?" Darkwill was stunned, with a flattering smile on his face, "That's better, go in by yourself! Just come and get Roy King's things."
Without answering Darkwill, Rawls put a hand on his shoulder and pushed him towards the church.
The church hall was empty, with rows of seats arranged neatly, with a huge Holy Emblem of Life at the top and lit candles on both sides.
Darkwill, who had already entered the hall, seemed to have lost his fear and quietly looked at the structure inside the church. This was his first time entering the church of Zhengshen. He probably had never even entered the church before... No, since the old man knew how to
If you put it here, you must have come in before!
In the wooden door on one side of the Holy Emblem of Life, a tall man appeared there. He bent slightly to allow himself to pass through the narrow and low wooden door.
This man wore a bishop's soft hat, had light and sparse eyebrows, and obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, cheeks, and mouth. He had a kind smile on his face, lowered his head and looked at Duck, who was about to hide behind Rawls.
