"A spirit that travels in the void, a strange spirit with wisdom, uniquely the messenger of Dorothy Lovelace."
Jamil stood in front of the temporarily arranged altar and recited in ancient Hermes.
Not far behind him, "Artisan" Sharf's face turned a bit pale. Big beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead and rolled down his tanned skin. His chapped lips trembled a little:
"Why didn't you tell me that Jamil was the son of the Countess of Lovelace?"
Countess Lovelace? Rawls raised her eyebrows and sneered:
"Oh, you've been with him for two days, right? Didn't you even ask for his last name?"
No... Sharf felt a little bitter in his heart. He was either appraising those extraordinary items or discussing extraordinary knowledge with Jamil these days. Moreover, Jamil knew his origin, so how could he dare to ask more about Jamil?
What about related news?
Looking at Jamil standing in front of the altar, the information about Jamil's mother flashed in his mind. She was a Sequence 4 "prophet", a countess of the Kingdom of Marsi, and a consultant to the royal Gonzales family.
, responsible for teaching the children of the Gonzalez family.
In small countries such as Lundborg, Masi, and Sehgal, which believe in the god of knowledge and wisdom, the rulers of the country, in addition to the royal family, are more of the power of the Church of Knowledge. It can be said that in these countries, politics and religion are integrated, no, more
To be precise, divine power is greater than royal power.
In these countries, everyone must accept the teachings of the Church of Knowledge, including the royal family. Everyone in the royal family, especially the successors, are often taught by the archbishop of the Church of Knowledge. Every king must be taught by the Archbishop of the Church of Knowledge when he ascends the throne.
The Apostolic Father of the Church of Knowledge comes to crown you.
But Countess Dorothy Lovelace is an exception. She is not a member of the Church of Knowledge, but she is a demigod of the "Reader" path, but her status is higher than that of the Archbishop in charge of the Kingdom of Marsi.
All this comes from her profound knowledge.
According to rumors, she once had an academic discussion with Albert Mendoza, the pontiff of the Church of Knowledge, who was revered as the "Grand Master," and she knocked this earthly angel down.
But these are not enough to scare Sharf. What he fears is the rumored terrifying research spirit of Dorothy. As a woman and a demigod, it is actually difficult for such a being to be combined with a man. But she chose
An ordinary person becomes his husband and gives birth to a child.
The reason why she did this was because she wanted to use the 'simulation' ability of the Extraordinary in the "Reader" path to create a normal life that only an "ancient alchemist" could create, but she didn't know why she chose to create a stone golem.
.But Dorothy did not give up her research because of this. She let the stone golem serve as her child's nanny and used her own children to cultivate the emotions of the stone golem.
And this lady likes to collect the books and notes of Emperor Russell very much. Since she is not a member of the Church of Knowledge, she has visited the Church of Steam many times for academic exchanges and wants to communicate with the Gustav family like Sharf.
The descendants communicated with each other, but the Church of Steam found reasons to reject them.
Later, she even wanted to marry a descendant of Gustav. If there wasn't a senior in her family who blocked her, it would have been impossible... What if Dorothy Lovelace knew that she was Gustav?
As a descendant of my husband's family, I am afraid that I will definitely be captured.
However, judging from Jamil's current reaction, I'm afraid he doesn't know these things... That's right, after all, as a mother, Dorothy would never tell her son these things no matter how irresponsible she is.
The candlelight on the altar swelled, turning from dim yellow to silvery white.
Immediately afterwards, as if the bookshelf collapsed, hundreds of books with different covers, different thicknesses, and different sizes fell from the air, extinguished the burning candles, and spread them scatteredly on the long table that served as a simple altar. These books The stacks soon reached a height of more than two meters. Although they were stacked unevenly, they strangely did not fall down.
As the books piled up to the ceiling and could no longer grow any higher, they suddenly collapsed. Just when Rawls and Sharf thought these books were going to bury Jamil, the collapsed books were restrained by some invisible force and flew in. A creature appeared next to Jamil at some unknown time.
The body of the creature is illusory, as if the real world does not exist. It has no head and neck, and its body is square and square. In the position of a normal human hand, there is a pair of slender arms that look like bamboo sticks. It wears a pair of cotton white gloves on its hands and has no legs. , has only one pair of feet that look like duck paws, but are much larger than duck paws.
It was only as tall as Jamil, but its long arms allowed it to reach Jamil's head. It rubbed his hair with its gloved hands, and tapped its two bare feet on the ground, making an incomprehensible sound. sound.
"Okay, although we haven't seen each other for a long time, don't touch my head like this!"
Jamil knocked the hand off his head, turned around and looked at the stunned two people, and raised his chin:
"This is my mother's messenger. You can call him Brooke."
The strange creature moved its two palm-sized feet little by little, revealing its frontal appearance... Rawls and Sharf looked at each other, holding back their smiles and said hello to the creature:
"Hello, Brooke."
It's like the bookshelf has become a spirit. No, it's actually no different from the bookshelf. It's just that Brooke, who has extra arms and legs, makes a sound. The books on his body are quickly arranged and combined, and the different colors of the book ridges are used to form a smiling face. It He reached for a book and opened it, revealing a blank sheet of paper, with lines of printed words appearing on it:
"Hello, I'm Brooke, are you friends with little Jamil?"
The people in the Church of Knowledge are so thirsty for knowledge that even the messenger is like a bookshelf... Recalling the incantation that just summoned the messenger, "a strange spirit with wisdom", Rawls was speechless, winked at Cemil, and then He patted Sharf on the side and motioned for them to solve the problem of finding the courier.
Jamil was also very eager to get a messenger of his own. He took Brooke's hand and begged:
"Brooke, my friend wants to use the characteristics of the 'Necromancer' to find a messenger. Can you help?"
Rawls nodded towards Brooke and began to think about how this strange creature with a demigod level in Jamil's mouth should deal with the enemy. Is it to summon a bunch of books to kill the opponent?
Brooke's voice suddenly became a little excited, and he turned out another blank page from the book in his hand, and densely printed words appeared from it:
"Okay, okay, since he is a friend of little Jamil, he is also a friend of Brooke. I will help for some reason. Brooke knows many friends in the spirit world. They are Brooke's friends, that is, Jamil's friends. Of course, they can be friends with Jamil's. Friends be friends…
By the way, this doesn’t seem to be Winston. Little Jamil, are you going out to play with your friends? Ms. Dorothy would actually agree to you going out to play? Then have you written a travel note or diary? If so, you can give it to Brooke for safekeeping.
, Brooke can definitely help you take care of all the books..."
Rawls straightened up, pushed up his glasses with his fingers, and pinched the corners of his eyes. The words were small and dense, and there were many repeated words, which really made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he simply moved out of the way and let Jamil
Go with Sharf to deal with the chatty messenger Brooke.
The two of them quickly entered the theoretical discussion stage with a bookshelf. Rawls' head was about to explode when he heard a lot of professional terms. Why are you discussing the relationship between spells and spiritual creatures when you are obviously just looking for a messenger?
…
In the Jowood District, in the house that Xio and Forsi rented.
Fors had just been inspired by the meeting between Dorian Gray and Lawrence Nord the day before yesterday, and decided to add a plot in his novel. Two old friends, who had not seen each other for many years due to a misunderstanding, finally met Ms. Sissi.
With the help of Olivia, they solved the misunderstanding and told them the witch's weaknesses.
She was just about to reward herself with a cigarette, but she felt a little melancholy when she thought that she suddenly had two more teachers responsible for teaching her extraordinary knowledge and looking for ways to quickly act. But Teacher Dorian was arranged by Alicia.
She simply couldn't refuse.
But this is not without its benefits. Now that she has two teachers, Alicia is unlikely to pay attention to her often, and will not notice that she has joined the Tarot Club. Forsi also consulted "
Mr. Fool’s opinion gained his approval and permission.
At this time, Xio pushed the door open and entered the study.
"Smoking is harmful to health." Xio sniffed.
Seeing the confusion on her face, Forsi didn't argue and instead asked:
"Why are you here? Have you finished interrogating your prisoner?"
Xio grabbed his rough blond hair and sat down on the chair next to him:
"I got a new assignment and was transferred to a secret team. I asked the people in the same team, and basically they were all new people who had just joined. It is said that the order was personally given by our division chief."
Forsi put down the lady's cigarette in his hand, feeling a little confused:
"Your director? Why did he suddenly transfer a group of new people to form a secret team? And he will transfer you into it. Aren't you afraid that your IQ will be implicated and the entire team will be completely destroyed? Or maybe he has noticed your intention... Um,
What mission?"
Xio had long been used to being hit by her friends, so he ignored her previous words and directly answered the next two questions:
"It's unlikely. We are all newcomers. If we had noticed, we would have been executed or interrogated long ago. As for the mission, we are investigating who has inquired about Kapin recently."
"Kaping? That human trafficker who should be hanged, no, burned at the stake?" Although Fors is not a bounty hunter, collecting materials is a writer's instinct, so she often asks Xio to tell her stories and rumors.
Xio nodded: "It's him, but he's already dead, and it seems he died more miserably."
"How did he die? He was cut to death bit by bit with a knife?" Forsi asked happily and curiously.
"We didn't get the specific information. Maybe it will be mentioned in tomorrow's newspaper, otherwise how could I have time to come here." Xiu thought for two seconds and said, "But someone in the team mentioned the special situation at the scene, saying that Kapin's body was
Tarot cards were sprinkled all over his face, and his face was covered with 'Judgment' and 'Emperor' cards."
"The meaning of the 'Judgment' card should be 'Judge Kapin, the result is death'. What does the 'Emperor' card represent? The identity of the murderer, no, the hero?"
Best-selling author Forsi instinctively interpreted the unique layout of the place where she was born. Suddenly, she was stunned for a moment.
Tarot cards? "Emperor" cards?
Is it Mr. "Emperor"?
Forsi gave up the idea as soon as she came up with it. She remembered clearly that although Mr. "Emperor" did not directly reveal his identity, it was almost acquiesced that he was a senior executive of MI9...
Even if such a person executes Kaping, there is no need to hide anything, not to mention that MI9 is investigating who killed Kaping!
But if it wasn't Mr. "Emperor", who would it be?
Forsi's thoughts were racing with surprises and worries. But since Xio was in the investigation team, he would definitely know what would happen next...
Suddenly, an idea suddenly appeared in her mind. Could it be that Mr. "Emperor" in MI9 knew about this matter, so he set up an investigation team to arrest the person?
Ke Xiu said that the investigation team was formed by the director of MI9. He was a demigod!
…
Queens, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall.
Audrey was waiting for the maid to cut the food when she suddenly heard her father, Earl Hall, who was used to reading newspapers at breakfast, laugh:
"Kapin is dead."
"who is he?"
Audrey was shocked. She had heard this name mentioned by Mr. "Emperor" in the previous tarot meeting, and she also hired a detective to investigate Kapin. However, as a well-behaved daughter, she still opened her eyes wide and cooperated.
A father who clearly has a desire to communicate.
This is both my daughter's specialty and the instinct of a "mind reader".
"A rich man who may be a human trafficker in private. He has good relations with some people, ha..." Earl Hall chuckled. "He was killed last night. There were obvious traces of trial at the scene. All newspapers
Call the murderer the Rogue, the Rogue 'Black Emperor', well, this is named after the code name of the ruler of the ancient Solomon Empire."
Rogue? Rogue "Black Emperor"? "Black Emperor"... Audrey instantly thought of the blasphemy card currently belonging to Mr. "Fool", and Mr. "Emperor" sitting opposite her.
She suddenly became interested in Capin's murder:
"It sounds very interesting. Although it is illegal, I still want to say that the Rogue did a great job. Well, Dad, what was the process?"
"The police and the corresponding departments of the church have not disclosed specific details, and I have not met them yet. The newspaper described it like this. The thief was wearing black armor, a dark crown, and a cloak of the same color behind him. He entered the card
Ping's villa, not only stole all the property in the safe, but also stole the lives of Kaping and his evil men, rescued the girls locked in the dungeon, and sprinkled Kapin's body with tower
Among the Luo cards, the most conspicuous ones are the two on the face, one is 'Judgment' and the other is 'Emperor'." Earl Hall held the newspaper and described with a smile.
Tarot cards... "Judgment" card and "Emperor" card, Mr. Emperor... Audrey's eyes suddenly lit up.
