[Extraordinary Characteristics of Ancient Alchemists]

"Snapped!"

The hotbed residue melted the golem and the alchemist inside it. The smelted debris fell to the ground, melting the ground again, and a huge molten pit emitting high temperature was formed on the ground.

At the same time, the Iron Golem, having lost the control of the alchemist and the blessing of life, also stopped moving.

As the battle ended, the violent thunder in the sky gradually dissipated. 'God's Singer' Ace Snake looked at the hotbed residue with some fear, and deliberately circled in front of Ember and Archbishop Anthony, and slowly descended from mid-air.

"It has ended."

Archbishop Anthony looked up at the Singer of God and spoke slowly.

Ace Snake frowned and asked in a magnetic voice, "Just him?"

Anthony looked around and said in a deep voice, "At least I didn't find anyone else."

He didn't think the ancient alchemist was alone, but he didn't find any signs of him having accomplices. It would be difficult for a single person to become a Sequence 5 Beyonder if he had enough money, but it was not impossible.

But if you want to become a demigod, you must have the support of a powerful force behind you.

Ace Snake sighed and said with some regret, "It's a pity that he is already dead, otherwise we should be able to get something out of him."

They originally wanted to capture him alive, but unfortunately he had already died in Yu Jin's hands. Ace Snake had just swept around, and the other party had not even left his soul, as he had been burned to ashes by the hotbed residue. Of course, although Ace Snake did not know Yu Jin's identity, he could see that he had a close relationship with the Church of Night, so he was also very tactful and did not pursue the responsibility.

What's more, they are not completely traceless.

It was unknown how long this demigod had been hiding in Backlund. Although he was already dead, he must have left behind many clues. Just like what Emperor Roselle said: Wherever you go, you leave traces.

Based on these clues, even if we can't find out the person behind the scenes, we should at least figure out which force is behind him.

Looking at the regretful look on the Singer of God's face, Yu Jin suddenly asked:
"Even though a person is dead, his soul can still ask questions, right?"

"Ok?"

Ace Snake was stunned for a while, then he saw Ember take out a ball of light and hand it to Anthony.

Anthony's eyes lit up, and he took the ball of light skillfully. After a while, a male figure emerged from it. Although the figure was quite illusory, judging from his appearance, it was the unknown demigod of the earth path!

Ace Snake came to his senses and had a strange expression on his face, but he didn't want to ask the Church of Night for the ownership of the soul. After all, they were the ones who killed the person and they were the ones who saved the soul. Instead, it was his side that failed to do a good job and almost let the person escape.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Ash."

The singer of God clenched his fist, tapped his chest lightly, and said solemnly.

"Compared to this."

Yu Jin stroked his chin and turned his head to look at the Singer of God beside him. "I am more curious about another question."

"what?"

The Singer of God was slightly stunned, and then he heard Yu Jin ask in a pointed tone:

"The fighting you just did was really loud. I could see it from the Hillston District. But where are the royal family members?"

The singer of God's expression changed slightly.

This operation was a joint operation between the royal family and the three major churches. The archbishops of the three major churches were present, but where were the royal family members? They had met many extraordinary people from the royal family, and they were indeed working hard to cooperate with the three major churches. But the focus was on the demigods! Where were the demigods from the royal family?
Anthony's expression slightly changed, and he quietly removed the "dark curtain" covering the dock. On the periphery of the battlefield, the elite extraordinary people from various churches saw the curtain dissipate, and at this time they all came forward tacitly.

Wearing a black soft hat, the "Singer of God" Ace Snake glanced with his silver eyes and gave a solemn order to the elite Punishers who had come:
"Go check and see what the royal family is doing!"

Many of the Beyonders present were from the MI9, and their faces changed slightly when they heard this. But the Singer of God didn't even bother to look at them. It was obvious that he didn't care at all, otherwise he wouldn't have said this in front of them.

……

Meanwhile, somewhere in Backlund, another battle was quietly taking place.

The noise caused by the battle here was no less than that of the battle in the dock area. It was just that this place seemed to be in an independent space under the blessing of some kind of power.

Although it is also Backlund, it has no intersection with the real Backlund. Everything that happens in this way will not affect reality, and naturally will not be observed by reality.

At this moment in this independent space, three demigods above Sequence 4 are engaged in a war of unprecedented scale!

One of them was the rectangular-faced Prince of Sonia, Grove Augustus, who was now besieging another demigod together with two other demigods who also belonged to the royal family.

"Teleportation is prohibited here!"

"Floating is prohibited here!"

"No hiding allowed here!"

"..."

Grove Augustus mercilessly cooperated with other demigods to impose one restriction after another, while he said in a deep voice:

"Zatwin, you know what I'm talking about! Hand over the things and I can let you go!"

At the same time, a vague figure appeared in the air. He staggered and fell to the ground, barely maintaining his body shape.

The figure was wearing a black clergy robe, with a black glove on his left hand, a thin face, brown skin, and sunken eyes like a mummy. The beard was black at the root and white at the outside, extending from the sides of the mouth to the ears, but they were not thick and were quite short, appearing dotted.

He is the demigod of the Rose School, the mentor of the leader of the Celestial Cult, and the 'Silent Disciple' of Sequence 3, Zatwin.

At this moment, this originally high-handed demigod looked particularly embarrassed. He didn't even bother to clean the dust off his body, nor could he treat his bleeding wounds. His light brown eyes, which were close to the color of his skin, stared at the people behind him with a cold look, and said in a deep voice:
"What do you want?"

"Stop acting stupid!"

Grove Augustus said coldly, "We know that the dog is a ghost raised by your Rose School. The Kingdom of Loen has no intention of being an enemy of the Rose School. As long as you hand over the method to cure the curse and those things, we can let you go!"

Zatwin coughed twice, his face turned pale and blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what you are talking about!"

What dog? What curse?
He doesn't understand at all!
"It seems you still don't want to tell me. It doesn't matter. You will tell me when you die."

Grove Augustus's eyes turned cold, he sneered and didn't bother to persuade him any more. Although the Kingdom of Loen did not want to offend the secret organization easily, and even had a cooperative relationship with the Witch Cult, this did not mean that the Loen royal family was afraid of being at odds with the secret organization!

Even if you refuse to speak when you are alive, your soul will eventually speak after you die.

Grove Augustus no longer held back and launched the final general attack in cooperation with the other two demigods.

"Damn it!"

Zatwin cursed angrily, waved his hand and summoned a large number of resentful souls and zombies that had been prepared long ago to rush towards the few people.

For ordinary people, just seeing this scene is enough to scare them half to death. But for demigods, these things are really not a threat.

One of the demigods stopped and immediately spoke solemnly:

"Ghosts and wraiths are forbidden here!"

"Resurrection of the dead is forbidden here!"

Taking advantage of this moment, Zatwin's figure suddenly disappeared. That was the strange ability of the Silent Disciple, they could possess other objects for a long time. As long as they possessed enough objects and escaped far enough, even demigods would find it difficult to find their traces!
Grove saw Zatwin disappear and immediately said solemnly:

"No attachments are allowed here!"

The next moment, Zatwin's figure, which had just disappeared, reappeared out of thin air.

"Gan!"

……

In the Backlund Bridge District, two embarrassed figures were running wildly on the street shrouded in darkness.

They walked through the streets lit by gas lamps and fled into the dark alleys that smelled of rottenness, trying their best to hide their whereabouts under the cover of darkness, because if passers-by saw them, they would be so scared that they would call the police immediately.

After all, one of them was as pale as a dead person, with rotten wounds still on his face. His flesh had long since rotted away, with white maggots scrambling to crawl out. If you got close, you could even smell the stench of the corpse. The other one was even more exaggerated, a werewolf covered in stiff black hair!

Even from the surface alone, one can tell that they are the Sequence 6 'Zombie' and Sequence 7 'Werewolf' of the 'Prisoner'. The characteristics are too obvious.

And these two people are obviously also members of the Rose School.

"Damn it, why did these official Beyonders suddenly go crazy? They are chasing me like mad dogs!"

After finally getting rid of the pursuers, werewolf Tyr leaned against the wall of the alley to rest, cursing all the time.

"Say less."

Jason, the zombie at the side, said coldly, "Lord Zatwin is holding back those demigods to buy us a chance to escape. If you delay us... don't blame me for not reminding you in advance!"

There was a hint of coldness in the werewolf Tyr's eyes, but he did not open his mouth to refute.

Being besieged by three demigods at the same time, everyone knew that Lord Zatwin was in great danger. They were able to escape in the chaos, thanks to the fact that the royal demigods looked down on them as little mice.

What's more, the royal family didn't just let them go, those royal lackeys from MI9 were still chasing them! Although they also prepared several safe houses, these safe houses were obviously not reliable when their old nest was raided.

Although Backlund was large, there was no place for them to hide. All they could do now was to escape from Backlund as quickly as possible under the cover of night.

"Jason, Tyr."

In a house not far away, Sharon, who was wearing a black court dress and a small soft hat, suddenly whispered, "They are the ones who are chasing us."

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

Klein was looking at the two figures who carefully poked their heads out of the alley with a strange expression. They were already ready to give up the action tonight, but you actually came to their doorstep. What the hell is going on?
"Do you want to take action?"

The zombie Maric licked his lips and asked eagerly, "If you miss this opportunity, you may not have such a good opportunity again in the future!"

Sharon didn't reply, but glanced at Klein.

Klein immediately understood that Sharon must be inclined to take action, but she still needed to seek advice from him as an outsider. After all, the reason why tonight's operation was canceled and why they were able to survive the "Great Purge" was thanks to his intelligence.

He personally preferred to be more cautious, but Miss Sharon had helped him after all. And now was indeed a perfect time to take action, and he couldn't miss the opportunity easily.

Klein hesitated for a long time, and finally made a difficult decision. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Let me do some divination first."

In front of the others, Klein took out his pendulum.

After a moment, he got the answer——

Good luck!

"Done!"

Klein thought viciously in his heart.

……

In the East District, Ikanser Bernard, a man with fluffy, messy, and stubborn brown hair, holds an old silver mirror with strange patterns. There are black gems on both sides of the mirror to form "eyes".

He was a little nervous because the archbishops of the three major churches in the Backlund diocese were all around him.

"let's start."

An old man wearing a white priest robe and a clergyman's cap gave Ikanser an order. He was the Archbishop of the Steam Church in Backlund, Horamick Hayden.

"call!"

Ikanser took a deep breath, picked up the silver mirror, and stroked the surface three times with his right hand.

After a slight pause, he said in a deep voice:

"Dear Arrodes, my question is, where is Prince Sonia now?"

Although this mirror is only a second-level seal, its ability is very useful. However, in order to ensure that the problem can be accurately described and the answer can be obtained, Ikanser chose to directly locate the royal head who organized this cooperation, Prince Sonia Grove Augustus.

The light around suddenly became deeper, as if stained with the mist after the rain, and a strange water light flashed on the surface of the silver mirror, converging into a scene:
In an independent space that seemed to be cut and surrounded by light, Grove Augustus, who had a rectangular face and was dressed like he was hundreds of years ago, was leading two other demigods and besieging a skinny old man in a black robe.

At this moment, the old man was obviously unable to withstand the siege of the three demigods. He had been deprived of several extraordinary abilities in a short period of time, and he was so badly injured that he couldn't even escape.

While others were still pondering the old man's identity, the 'Singer of God' Ace Snake spoke directly:

"That is the demigod of the Rose School, Zartwin, a Sequence 3 Saint."

Horamick Hayden's frown relaxed a little, and he smiled and said, "It seems that the royal family is indeed taking action, but they were entangled by the demigods of other forces and were unable to come to support in time."

"Mr. Ash, what do you think?"

Anthony did not comment, but cast his eyes towards the embers beside him. When he saw this, the other two archbishops also cast their eyes towards the embers, asking with some good intentions.

"maybe."

Yu Jin looked at the scene in the mirror and said calmly.

Perhaps because he knew that the Black Emperor was George III, he lacked the most basic trust in the Loen royal family.

He instinctively felt that the royal family was plotting something, and he still believed it. Although the other party was also dealing with the demigod of the secret organization, and seemed to be doing their best, was this perhaps part of the royal family's plan?
Yu Jin looked at the battle that was coming to an end in the silver mirror and said slowly, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"of course."

Archbishop Anthony smiled and nodded, "Leave the rest to us."

Ikanser didn't notice when Yu Jin left. He was listening carefully to the opinions of several archbishops on the royal family.

But at this moment, the image in the silver mirror ended with the old man falling in a pool of blood. When the mirror surface turned black, a few lines of ancient Feysac words suddenly appeared on the silver mirror:

"Based on the principle of reciprocity, it's my turn to ask questions."

"If you answer incorrectly, or lie, you will be punished."

The word "punishment" was as red as blood, as if it was still dripping with liquid!

The expression on Ikanser's face twisted for a moment, then became extremely serious.

Then, the silver mirror flickered with light, and a new line of words appeared:
"What's your sexual orientation?"

Ikanser was stunned for a moment. Even the three archbishops did not bother to doubt whether the royal family had other intentions. Their eyes were instantly cast on Ikanser.

……

Throughout the second half of the night, the extraordinary people from the three major churches were extremely busy.

First of all, the major churches need to deal with the captured wild extraordinary people as soon as possible. Because too many people were captured, even the cages originally used to detain extraordinary people are not enough.

As Sequence 7 Night Watchmen who can bring people into the night, they are also the busiest among the three major churches. This is because they also need to make the residents at the junction of the East District and the Dock District who witnessed the battle scene fall asleep and erase their memories through dreams.

Fortunately, most of the night watchmen become more energetic as the night goes on. They only need to sleep for a few hours a day and even if they work all night, they will still be full of energy the next day.

Of course, Yu Jin would not get involved in these things. After all, Anthony had said that he didn't need to deal with the final things. He went directly back to the Hillston District and met up with Al Hassan and his men who were escorting the wild Beyonders to the Starry Church.

After confirming that there was no other work requiring his help, he returned home.

Standing at the door of 117 Burningham, Yu Jin glanced at the dark building. There was no light inside, and it seemed that Fors and Xio had already gone to bed. However, when Yu Jin walked through the door and came to the living room, Fors and Xio were sitting side by side on the sofa, looking at him.

As if he had expected this, Yu Jin asked calmly, "Why are you still not asleep so late?"

"Can't sleep."

Xio shook his head and asked softly, "Is there any action by the Church of Darkness? Why did you come back so late?"

"It's just a small matter. Capturing two Beyonders from a secret organization."

Yu Jin gave a brief explanation and turned the gas switch beside him.

Da da da, snap

A flame ignited and quickly grew larger. The bright light first filled the interior of the wall lamp, then passed through the transparent glass, casting a warm color on the room. The darkness suddenly shrank away, and the crimson retreated from the window.

"ember."

Xio hesitated for two seconds, and under the expectant gaze of his friend, he slowly said, "Fors has something important to tell you!"

"Hmm? Hey hey!"

Fors opened her eyes wide and looked at Xio in disbelief. Didn’t we agree on this?

Xio rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "Who told you to promise others without permission? Since you promised others, you should tell Yu Jin these words in person."

"what's up?"

Yu Jin looked at Fors with some confusion.

"It's not a big deal. I just agreed to help an old man deliver something."

Fors shrank his neck and weakly told Yu Jin everything about his experience in the cemetery during the day. At the end, he added in a low voice, "He said that the Abraham family will give us a generous reward."

"The Abraham family?"

Yu Jin thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Then let's go there tomorrow. I happen to be interested in this family as well."

"Is it really okay?"

Fors was somewhat surprised and asked in a low voice with some nervousness.

Yu Jin smiled and said, "Priz Port isn't too far away anyway. It only takes half a day to go back and forth."

"really."

Xio nodded and said seriously, "If we take the first steam train in the morning, we should be able to get back before three in the afternoon."

After a pause, Xio added, "The premise is that you, Fors, must be able to get up that early."

"stop!"

……

The enemy is in the light and we are in the dark.

In addition, Klein and the other two had rested up, so facing three half-crippled Beyonders, there was naturally no suspense in this battle.

Following Klein's advice to "make it quick and decisive, and pick the weak ones," Miss Sharon took the lead in invading the werewolf's body from the dark, controlling the werewolf's body and forcing him to pull her neck off alive.

"Sharon, you deserve to die!"

With the death of the werewolf, although the remaining 'zombie' Jason was stronger than the 'werewolf' Tyr, and although there was still Sequence 5 Steve possessed in his body, under the premeditated siege of the three people, he could only die on the spot after letting out an unwilling roar.

Klein looked at Miss Sharon, who was wearing a small black bonnet, and reminded her, "Official Beyonders may arrive at any time. We have to hurry."

Sharon nodded, turned her head and asked:

"Okay, Maric?"

"rest assured."

Maric's hoarse voice came from behind, and his pale face, like a corpse, emerged from the shadows. "I have let my zombies attract the attention of those Beyonders. They will not arrive in the short term."

Although they said so, in order to guard against the possible arrival of the Beyonder, the three of them cleaned up the battlefield quickly and tacitly. After that, they quickly returned to Casper's home not far away.

……

Backlund Queen District, Sodrak Palace.

Grove Augustus, who had just fooled the archbishops of the three major churches on the pretext of dealing with the Rose School, returned to the palace and immediately conducted spiritual communication with the soul of Zhatwin they had obtained.

However, when he finally completed the spiritual communication, his expression was still grim.

Because he found neither the method to contact the curse in Zhatwin's soul, nor the lost letters and information.

With a nervous mood, he met with George III, who was wearing the crown, late at night.

When he finished describing the clues he had received, George III's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said in a deep voice:

"Are you trying to tell me that we spent a huge amount of money to unite the three major churches, even gave up the arrangements that had lasted for several years, and sacrificed our loyal allies, but in return we got nothing? Is that right?! Didn't you swear to me before that those things must have been done by the Rose School?!"

"His Majesty!"

Grove Augustus' forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly explained, "These things were definitely done by the Rose School, I assure you! Whether it's wandering souls or curses, these are the usual methods of the Rose School! This time, it is very likely that we just caught the wrong person."

If they just arrested the wrong person, then at most the intelligence personnel below did not obtain accurate intelligence. But if they even got the direction of suspicion wrong, then it would be his fault. So even if he doubted whether it was the Rose School, now he could only insist that it was the Rose School!
George III leaned back in his chair expressionlessly and said coldly, "Then tell me, what useful information did you get from his soul?"

Grove couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly explained, "Zatwin appeared in Backlund because he had been hunting down the Temperance Faction in the Rose School, and it just so happened that the Temperance Faction had been hiding in Backlund. At the same time, he was assigned by the evil god Sear to track down a 'blasphemer' designated by the false oracle."

George III's expression changed slightly, and he frowned and asked, "Blasphemer?"

"Yes."

Grove nodded and explained quickly, "A month ago, Saint Jacks of the Rose School in the Rorsted Islands received an oracle, instructing a divine messenger wearing ten rings to collect twenty-two blasphemous cards."

"But later it was discovered that this oracle was actually a false message from a demigod. The man wearing ten rings was not a messenger of God, but a blasphemer. And recently, the Bound God sent down another oracle, claiming that the blasphemer was in Backlund."

"Demi god?"

George III said coldly, "Do you think any demigod can deceive another demigod by falsely delivering an oracle?"

Grove's face froze, and he smiled bitterly but didn't dare to refute.

What could he do? That's what Zatwin's spirit said, and he would certainly relay it to George III. It's better to be mocked now than to be held accountable later.

After all, although George III was theoretically his junior, he was much more powerful and more prestigious than him. In front of George III, he did not dare to act like an elder, because he knew the consequences.

Those people in the royal family who took advantage of their seniority had long been secretly cleared out by George III with an iron fist!
George III glanced at Grove and didn't make it too difficult for him. Instead, he asked calmly, "Could this be done by the temperance faction?"

"Not too possible."

Grove thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "The Temperance Faction has almost been destroyed under the suppression of the Indulgence Faction. Even its Sequence 2 angels were killed by the Indulgence Faction. The remaining ones are small characters who are not even demigods. And to possess a curse that can kill a demigod, one must be a Silent Disciple who is at least Sequence 3 or above."

George III tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers and said quietly:
"There are only a few saints in the Rose School. If it is not a saint of the Rose School, then it must be a divine evil."

Grove's heart suddenly sank. If it was just a Sequence 3 demigod targeting them, the Loen royal family could handle it. But if it was the Sequence 1 angel, the Godly Ea, who personally took action, the consequences would be disastrous! Unlike the demigods, Sequence 1 angels could actually threaten their plans!
After all, even His Majesty is only...

George III obviously also realized this and said in a deep voice:
"Go ask him for any advice. He was the one who provided the potion formula and planned the plan. Now that we have encountered a problem, he should help us solve it.

Grove looked up at George III with some confusion at first, not knowing who he was talking about, but then the corresponding image emerged in his mind. His pupils shrank sharply, and he suppressed the horror in his heart and immediately bowed his head respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He did not ask why George III did not ask that person himself, because they were both Sequence 1 angels, the most powerful Beyonders in the world except for the True Gods. Therefore, they had to try their best to avoid causing panic to each other.

Although Grove did not think that gentleman would panic, and that gentleman was even George III's "teacher" to some extent, for the Sequence 1 angels, no matter what, not meeting each other was the best way for them to get along with each other.

……

In a secret space filled with light, a cross hundreds of meters high stood in front of them. In front of the cross, a huge, vague figure stood there, carrying everything on his back, looking at the souls with compassion.

In front of the giant there were rows of black chairs with backrests, but there was only one person praying.

The praying man had his eyes closed and was sitting in the center of the first row. He was wearing a rather simple white robe and a light golden beard that covered the lower half of his face. He held his hands in front of the silver cross pendant on his chest with an expression. Warm and calm.

At this time, he raised his head, revealing eyes as clear as a child's.

And in front of him was Grove Augustus, who appeared here without knowing why or when.

He stood up slowly, looked at Grove in front of him, and said calmly:

"Tell George III that everything is going according to plan and the Rose School will not be an obstacle to us."

Grove Augustus still kept his head down, not daring to raise it.

The demigod who was high and mighty in the real world did not dare to move in front of this person.

He didn't even look at Grove, because the next second Grove's figure quickly faded and disappeared. He was the only one left in the entire glorious space.

But he did not sit down again, nor did he continue to pray.

He just looked at a certain place, his eyes seemed to pass through countless spaces, and finally landed on a certain person, and whispered:
"First Fire, perhaps, this is another way to the old days. And..."

He looked up, not knowing what he saw, and looked melancholy.

Although the future is unknown and it is a path he has never explored, the First Flame will at least not be subject to the initial shackles and threats.

……

October 10, Wednesday.

Yu Jin and Fors arrived at Pritz Harbor by steam train early in the morning, which took less than two hours, after all, the distance was not far. In order to ensure that they could return home before dusk and enjoy the dinner prepared by Xio and Kularis, they also booked the return inland shipping tickets in advance.
Compared to the 'fog city' Backlund, the air quality in Pritz Harbor was better. However, no matter where they were, they could smell the sea in the air. However, compared to Backlund, the streets here were also relatively dirty.

Without any setbacks, they easily found the Fishermen's Association in an old building, where they met Dorian Gray.

The gentleman was of medium build, but had exaggerated arms and his hair was combed very neatly, which was completely different from the bird's nest hairstyle of most people in the association.

Dorian sat at his desk and greeted with a smile:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Black, Ms. Wall, how can I help you?"

Fors subconsciously looked at Yu Jin. After receiving Yu Jin's affirmative nod, she mustered up her courage and took a step forward, saying softly:
"Mr. Lawrence asked me to come to you."

She briefly explained her purpose and handed over the suicide note and notebook left by Lawrence, as well as the diamond-like extraordinary characteristics.

Dorian's eyes flashed with astonishment and surprise, as if he had not expected that Lawrence, whom he had just met not long ago, had died so suddenly. He took the items from the girl with a complicated expression and opened the suicide note first.

After reading it carefully, he raised his head and looked at Fors with sincere blue eyes:
"I commend you for your kindness and trustworthiness, Ms. Wall. I will always remember the help you provided to Anlisa and Lawrence!"

"Will you accept my thanks? I'd like to invite you and Mr. Black to lunch."

"no problem."

Fors winked at Yu Jin, and then agreed without hesitation. She was worrying about how to spend the time before the ship set sail.

"Please wait for me for a moment."

Dorian politely asked Yu Jin and Fors to wait in the lounge next door, and provided them with tea, snacks, newspapers and magazines.

After returning to the office, the gentleman opened a secret cabinet with some hesitation and took out an item.

It was a crystal ball that sparkled with pure light.

Although the family had long since fallen under the torment of the curse, and although they had experienced a betrayal that caused Abraham and his people to suffer heavy losses, there were still many extraordinary items that were passed down from them.

Dorian drew the curtains, darkening the office, and sat down.

He held the crystal ball in his left hand, and touched the top with his right palm, stroking it back and forth, while whispering continuously in his mouth, as if whispering.

Gradually, the bright dots in the crystal ball became brighter and more obvious, as if they were reflections of the starry night sky.

The stars that are often used to determine the direction of destiny and life trajectory emerge one after another, forming a three-dimensional horoscope, mixed with many spiritual revelations that seem to be symbolic symbols.

Dorian Gray finally stopped and looked over.

"I hid something, but I didn't lie."

Dorian breathed a sigh of relief. At least this confirmed that Ms. Fors was trustworthy.

He put the crystal ball back into the dark cabinet, but after a slight hesitation, he couldn't help but feel curious about the identity of Mr. Black beside Ms. Fors. After a moment's hesitation, he stretched out his right hand again and began to touch the crystal ball.

Gradually, the crystal ball lit up again, and the bright stars became increasingly dazzling.

But in an instant, a faint flame suddenly rose from the starlight. In just a moment, all the starlight was swallowed by the flames, and only a dazzling flame remained in Dorian's sight!

"Ahh-!"

Dorian screamed, covered his eyes and curled up on the ground in pain. The crystal ball that was originally supported also lost its support and rolled on the ground for several circles until it hit the corner of the table and stopped slightly.

But throughout the process, the flame in the crystal ball grew stronger and brighter, until...

"Snapped!"

The crystal ball seemed to have reached some kind of limit, and suddenly it exploded with a snap like a glass ball falling to the ground.

"Fire, it's fire..."

Dorian opened his eyes despite the pain. He saw the exploded crystal ball and the destroyed magical object, but there was no regret in his eyes. Instead, in addition to the painful twitching, there seemed to be a hint of ecstasy in his eyes as if he had survived a disaster.

"The prophecy, the prophecy has come true!"

He struggled to support himself with his hands, climbed up from the ground with difficulty, and staggered towards the door, trying to find the two guests who were waiting in the lounge.

But when he reached the door and grasped the door handle, he hesitated again.

In the end, he didn't open the door.

He tidied up his appearance and changed his clothes to make himself look respectable. Finally, he waited hard until lunch time. He immediately walked out the door, ordered the restaurant to prepare delicious food, and personally went to the lounge to invite Yu Jin and the others to have lunch together.

The reason why he endured the torment in his heart and waited until now was that he wanted to discuss things at the dinner table. It is said that the success rate would be higher this way.

"Ms. Wall."

In the private room of the restaurant, Dorian Gray asked with a smile:

“What do you think of the food here?”

"very nice."

Fors replied reservedly.

In front of her was a fish that was cut into pieces, deep-fried, and sprinkled with rosemary. It had a crispy skin, fresh meat, and no bones. It was quite delicious. The only thing worth complaining about was that the chef's aesthetic taste was very strange. He actually kept the two bulging fish eyes and used the plating technique to make them look up at the same time, as if expressing his unwillingness to die.

This forced her to push down the fish's head, cut off the tail, and cover the eye that was pointing upwards.

Dorian Gray glanced at the embers beside him without leaving a trace, and said casually while moving his knife and fork:
"Anlisa likes the occult very much and has done some research in this area. When you were sorting out her belongings, did you see any relevant books, notes, or items?"

"There are some notes and books."

Fors's expression slightly changed, but she did not show any abnormality. She answered calmly, "I became a fan of mysticism because of this, but unfortunately, there are some contents that I cannot understand at all."

"If that's the case."

Seeing that everything was developing as expected, Dorian quickly asked, "Does Ms. Wall know about the extraordinary people mentioned in the book?"

Fors hesitated for a moment, but still did not hide anything. "I know a little, but those are just legends..."

"No!"

Dorian said in a deep voice, "Extraordinary people really exist. Anlisa, Lawrence, and I are all Extraordinary people. We all belong to a once great family, Abraham!"

"Ms. Wall."

Dorian said seriously, "Do you want to become an Extraordinary? Just think of it as me wanting to thank you for Anlisa and Lawrence!"

Dorian looked extremely sincere, as if he really just wanted to thank Fors, the selfless young lady. But if you look closely, you will find that although he never mentioned Yu Jin, his eyes always seemed to fall on Yu Jin.

Even Fors could see this!
