At the same time (?), Great Britain, in the old town of Edinburgh, in a dark alley corner.
The middle-aged man lit a cigarette and waited quietly in the damp and cold night. The red light from the cigarette end was the only light source in this dark alley, vaguely reflecting the decay and decadence around him.
Another shadow appeared above the alley, silently. However, the black iron knight Petrus had already noticed the opponent's approach.
"How?" asked the uncle.
"A reaction was detected in area seven half an hour ago." The mysterious figure responded: "Although the precise location cannot be determined, we have surrounded the entire area and are monitoring it closely. I believe we will be able to find [the deep sea] soon."
Singer Melsa]."
"Very good. Let's do it." Petrus hummed: "When this is over, the share given to you will naturally be big. But you must be careful to keep a low profile. The singer is an extremely important person.
This involves the diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Iceland. You must not hurt her even a hair, do you understand?"
"Yes." The black shadow disappeared instantly.
Petrus took a deep breath, and the cigarette in his mouth burned violently, and a large part of it disappeared in an instant. He exhaled, and the smoke filled the air, covering the smell of corruption in the alley.
Then he said to himself: "Then...since everyone has come to Edinburgh, let's stop by and visit."
Ten minutes later, a hospital in Edinburgh.
"Hi, uncle!" When Petrus pushed the door open, a little girl in the ward was reading a picture book. She seemed very happy and waved to Petrus enthusiastically.
"Hi, Sophia." The Black Iron Knight replied, "Have you been good lately? Have you taken your medicine on time?"
"Of course!" the little girl replied. At this time, she had put down the picture book, and was still subconsciously arranging her double ponytails with one hand, as if she thought this action would make herself more feminine.
"Hehehe." The uncle smiled as he put down the fruit basket. The basket was full of apples and a bouquet of nineteen pink carnations. He put the flowers into the vase beside the bed, and the flowers gave off a faint fragrance.
Fragrance wafts in the ward.
"Then it's time for uncle to go back and come visit you again when he has time. Be good," Petrus said.
"What? Are you leaving now?" The little girl pouted: "Can't you stay a little longer? Sophia also plans to let the uncle read the story in the picture book."
"Next time." The middle-aged black iron knight shrugged and said, "I've been busy lately, so I came to Edinburgh today because of work needs."
He looked at the little girl affectionately: "Wait patiently for a while, Sophia. When uncle saves enough money, he can let you have the operation. Then you can play around like an ordinary child, and you will never be able to do anything again."
There is no need to feel sorry for staying in this ward."
"Yeah." The little girl nodded and said, "Sofia will be patient. Uncle, you should also pay attention to your health and don't work too hard."
"Naturally." Petrus, the black iron knight, touched the gold-plated fake medal on his chest and said with a smile: "Uncle is a golden knight. Nothing can trouble me."
In the eyes of others, he may be just a shameless ruffian, a greasy middle-aged uncle. But in the eyes of this little girl, Petrus is a brave man.
------Even if he is just a gold-plated warrior.
I don't know how long it took, but Albert opened his eyes and felt refreshed, as if he had slept until dawn.
No. He was shocked as soon as he woke up. Why did he feel "refreshed"? He originally only planned to sleep for about ten minutes. To be so refreshed, he must have overslept. He slept several times.
Hour?
"Huh?!" The tiger man jumped up in panic: "Oops! What time is it now?"
"It's so noisy." Castro, who was resting with his eyes closed, replied, clenched his fists and stood up angrily, as if he wanted to punch Albert in the head: "I just rested for a while, and I'm jumping up and down right away."
Go, aren't you tired?"
"Huh?" Albert was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Castro said. Seeing that the sky was still dark, he hurriedly asked: "Wait a minute. What time is it now? How long have I been sleeping? Is it a day?"
It’s all over? How was yesterday’s hunting festival?”
"Are you sleepy?" Castor simply punched Albert on the head: "How long will it last? You have only been quiet for less than an hour. It's still only nine o'clock in the evening."
"Are you kidding?" Tiger touched the swollen bump on his head and checked his body again.
He felt refreshed, which was probably not an illusion. Moreover, his body, which had sore muscles, gradually returned to normal. This did not look like the recovery effect that a mere hour of rest could achieve. However, Castro would not and did not need to
Lie to him, the icy rain artificially created by Albert before is still falling in the sky, and the cool feeling is still there. The icy rain created by the tiger man young man naturally knows that this rain can only last for two or three days.
Hours. Since it was still raining, it proved that Albert really didn't sleep for long.
It’s so strange. It’s so strange. He’s been running around a lot recently, and Albert hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for a long time. But now he only slept for an hour, but his body has returned to its original state, full of energy, as if he had slept for eight hours.
Even ten hours is simply unscientific. Could it be that after removing the [Demon-Sealing Bracelet], his recovery power has increased to an incredible level? But the recovery of the body is still reasonable, and the recovery of mental power will really be affected by the [Demon-Sealing Bracelet].
bracelet] influence?
"So are you going to sleep or not?" Castro looked at Albert who was jumping around in the rain and couldn't help complaining: "If you don't want to sleep, don't bother others here to rest. Everyone has to prepare for what's next."
Where is the Great Hunting Festival]. This is for you, and then get out of here."
What he threw to the young tiger man was a leather bag of water. Naturally, this water was freshly collected from a container in Lviv. It was drinking water formed by falling ice rain from the sky. The leather bag full of water was in
Castro held it in his arms for a while, and the original coldness turned into residual warmth. But it is precisely this kind of water that makes stomachache less likely to occur after drinking it.
Because Castro looked like he wanted to hit someone, and several other special G-level hunter masters were also resting in cross-legged meditation around President Nitro, it was really inappropriate for Albert to make a noise here.
He had no choice but to take the bag of water and walk out.
"Meow~" As soon as Albert walked away, the kitten Mutt held by Nina freed up a hand and scratched it in mid-air, as if she wanted Albert to stay.
"I'll come back as soon as I go." But the tiger man said, "Mut, just stay here and don't make trouble."
"Meow!" the kitten grunted in dissatisfaction. It was completely a wild beast, and its actions did not carry Mutt's own will.
Mutt turned into a cat. He felt refreshed after an hour's sleep. Lvov was almost destroyed because of the betrayal of a certain traitor. I always felt that everything that happened recently was too bizarre. Let Albert touch it.
No idea. Anyway, let's go back to the hall and have a look. Maybe there's something he can do to help.
"Huh? How did you..." Before he reached the hall of the Central Temple, a hunter passed by Albert and looked at the tiger curiously.
"What's wrong?"
"Um, it's nothing. Don't worry about it." The other party did not explain and continued to walk forward. After all, he had his own things to be busy with.
Weird. Tiger walked into the hall with a frown.
The moment he entered, dozens of Warcraft hunters turned to look at him in surprise.
"What?" Albert was even more surprised.
The hunters didn't answer, they just shrugged and went about their business. Then there were several blue veins popping up on Albert's forehead. Everyone was mysterious, what on earth was going on?
However, it didn't take long for him to find the answer to the mystery. The reason why people reacted so strangely is------
There were seven "him" asleep in the hall.
These seven Alberts are naturally all clones of Albert, and they are still sleeping soundly at this moment. The colors on their bodies have strangely become lighter, including the clothes they are wearing. They are probably lying down.
Sleeping in the hall was a nuisance, so others moved the seven Alberts away and piled them up on one side of the hall like cargo. They lay there in a mess, sleeping, and it looked so embarrassing...
...
What's going on? Albert is confused. Those are his clones, yes. But his clones are sleeping, but his body is awake, and he is not controlling these clones.
It seems that these clones were left over from the last time he summoned clones to clean up the battlefield. At that time, he reluctantly used the clones when he was extremely tired, and asked these clones to come to this hall to help those who were knocked to the ground here.
The hunters antidote the poison. The moment this task was completed, Albert's original form was so tired that he fell asleep. Probably he forgot to make all the clones disappear before he completely lost consciousness, so these clones stayed.
Logically speaking, the clone technique is a [skill] that can only be used and maintained when he is conscious. The moment he loses consciousness, the clone technique should be released.
But, is this really the case? Could it be that Albert’s understanding of the clone technique is completely wrong, and is there some huge misunderstanding in this?
The tiger man youth went over and touched one of his clones. Those clones seemed to be in another dimension when they were asleep. Albert's hand penetrated through the clone's cheek and could not be touched at all.
So strange. So strange. The tiger started to get confused.
The essence of Albert's [Clone Technique] is [The Fourth Miracle---Kama (Destiny) Creation]. He used the [Fourth Miracle] to expand his existence (Kama), and then transformed other parallel worlds
He pulled Albert in for his own use. The clones created in this way, as long as they are within Albert's control, are controlled by the original consciousness, and the clones have no self-awareness. He will
Just like controlling a group of "chess pieces" that look exactly like you, give appropriate orders and let the clones execute them.
However, he is not giving orders to these clones now. They are sleeping without receiving the order. And it is very likely that it is precisely because the clones are sleeping that Albert's true self becomes so refreshed, as if he has already
I have been resting for a long time (and I am still resting!).
He is now in a state of being both [awake] and [sleeping], and his clones are sleeping and resting on his behalf.
------There is nothing weirder than this in the world. (To be continued)
