Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 124 Only Fire Can Purify the World

"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief!"

The famous words of Emperor Roselle inexplicably emerged in Fors' mind, and she became secretly alert.

It sounded reasonable to pay her out of gratitude, but Fors thought that the contributions she had made were not enough to make Dorian, a stranger, open his heart to her.

Mrs. Anlisa led her on the path of the Extraordinary because she had taken care of her for a long time, and Mr. Lawrence was willing to show his trust and sincerity to her because he discovered her identity before his death. All of these can be explained.

But Dorian was different, because this was the first time they met.

"No, no need."

Fors refused decisively, pondered her words in her heart, and hesitantly stretched out her right hand. She lifted her sleeves, revealing her fair wrist covered by the lotus leaves of her sleeves and a string of silver stone bracelets.

Fors chose his words carefully and said softly, "This was given to me by Mrs. Anlisa, including her extraordinary characteristics."

Dorian looked a little stunned, and then fell silent.

'Extraordinary characteristics', this kind of word would not be understood by anyone who was not an 'insider'. In other words, Fors was already an Extraordinary person, using Anlisa's Extraordinary characteristics and inheriting everything from her.

And Ash Black beside her was also obviously an extraordinary person.

Moreover, he is definitely a powerful extraordinary person.

But this did not make Dorian give up, but instead made him more certain of his guess!

"Ms. Wall."

Dorian took a deep breath and said slowly, "Did Anlisa tell you which family she came from?"

"No."

Fors shook her head slightly and replied calmly, "Anlisa is vaguely dissatisfied with Mr. Lauber's relatives."

Dorian Silent, Robert, Anlisa's husband, is also a member of Abraham.

"Ms. Wall."

Dorian looked up and asked sincerely, "Would you like to hear a story from me?"

"..."

Fors was silent for a long time, and subconsciously looked at the embers beside him.

Yu Jin saw the girl's worries and said slowly, "I just came here to accompany you."

"Hmm~"

Fors puffed up her cheeks. Wasn’t this just kicking the ball back to her?
"All right, Mr. Dorian."

Fors thought for a moment and said helplessly, "But could you please tell this story as briefly as possible?"

"of course."

Dorian breathed a sigh of relief. He opened his mouth but no sound came out, as if he didn't know where to start.

But after hesitating for a long time, he slowly spoke:
"During the Solomon Empire of the Fourth Epoch, there was once an extremely glorious Abraham family."

"That is a powerful angel family that is on par with the Solomon family at that time, and the Tudor family that later ruled the Tudor Kingdom."

"And during the subsequent Tudor Dynasty, the Abraham family was one of the five great angel families alongside Amon, Antigonus, Jacob, and Tamara. Yes, it's just as you thought. This family once had more than one angel."

Dorian said, pausing for a moment before explaining solemnly.

"No, actually I already knew it."

Fors muttered to himself, but his face showed a surprised expression.

After all, it was Ember who told her all this, and neither Mrs. Anlisa nor Mr. Lawrence had told her this. Well, of course, the history told by Ember was inevitably lacking in details, not as detailed as Dorian's.

"But one day, the ancestor of Abraham's family suddenly disappeared."

"After that, all family members were burdened with an unknown curse. This curse made Abrahams much more likely to lose control than ordinary Beyonders, and it also made it almost impossible for them to become powerful Beyonders."

"The once powerful Angel Family fell apart in an instant."

Fors listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and complained in his heart:
"The next step is betrayal, right?"

What followed was nothing more than Abraham being betrayed by his apprentices, and the family was completely wiped out. She had heard this story before, and although it was indeed a tragedy, she had heard it so many times that she no longer had the initial sensitivity. Fors had even thought about writing this experience into a book.

For example, the heroine Miss Sissi taught an outstanding apprentice, but in the end the apprentice chose to betray his teacher and ancestors.

However, what Fors did not expect was that the story Dorian told next was completely beyond Fors's expectations.

Dorian's expression suddenly became solemn. His voice was ethereal and loud, as if he was telling an epic poem:
"When the curse spread through the family, there were still a few surviving demigods in the family. They were all Beyonders above Sequence 4. In order to stop the spread of the curse, they tried every possible way, but all ended in failure."

"Gradually, even these demigods died one by one in their constant running. At that time, Abraham and his people were most desperate. When all the demigods died, there would be no one left to protect this former angel family."

“But at this most desperate moment, Abraham and his people saw hope!”

"hope?"

Fors blinked, and her heart was also moved.

Because this part of the story is something that Yu Jin has never told, or even Yu Jin doesn't know.

"Yes, I hope!"

Dorian's face turned serious, and he took a deep breath and said, "In the most desperate moment, Abraham received a prophecy:"

"Only Fire and Fools can save Abraham!"

"The Fool and the Flame..."

Fors's expression suddenly became nervous. She was neither a spectator nor a clown, so she could only lower her head to hide her emotional changes. She didn't want others to know that she could see Mr. The Fool at the Tarot Club every Monday.

So, the reason Dorian said these words was because he knew that he and Ember were 'believing' in Mr. Fool?

"Yes, Flame and Fool."

Dorian nodded solemnly and frankly, but at the end he said self-deprecatingly, "But in the family, many people have given up on this prophecy, thinking it is just a trick to fool future generations. The prophecy that the last demigod of the family sacrificed his life for is just a trick to fool them in their eyes. Isn't it ridiculous?"

"So, Mr. Dorian, you still believe in this prophecy?"

Fors hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.

"of course."

Dorian readily admitted his identity as Abraham, and said solemnly, "I always firmly believe in the prophecy that my ancestors exchanged their lives for. Only the flame and the fool can save Abraham!"

Fors felt his mind was in a mess, and hesitantly asked, "So... Mr. Dorian, do you think we are related to the Fool?"

She didn't know what fire was, but she knew the word 'Fool', and subconsciously thought that the other party was pointing at Mr. Fool.

"Do not."

Dorian shook his head and said, "On the contrary, Abraham knew who the Fool was. He was the pinnacle of the 'diviner' path mastered by the Antigonus family. However, just like our ancestors, the ancestors of the Antigonus family have also disappeared long ago."

"Fools are illusory. For us, fire is the only salvation! But for thousands of years, we have never found any clues or information related to 'fire'. It's as if this is just an illusory dream!"

"Until today."

Dorian suddenly changed the subject, with a fanatical look in his eyes.

"today?"

Fors immediately realized that he was referring to their arrival, but she definitely had nothing to do with the so-called flames. Combined with the fact that Dorian occasionally glanced at the embers while he was talking, the answer was obvious:

The so-called flame refers to the embers!
Fors looked up at Yu Jin, only to find that he was looking at the somewhat fanatical Dorian expressionlessly, and said calmly:

"So, you want me to help you? Or, help Abraham?"

"Yes!"

Dorian nodded without hesitation and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what your relationship is with fire, Mr. Black, but in thousands of years, you are the only person I have met who may be able to solve the curse we bear."

"How can you be sure?"

Fors suddenly felt a little uneasy and asked back.

"I am a Sequence 7 astrologer with the ability to predict the future. And."

Dorian paused, looked at Fors beside him, and suddenly smiled, "I think Ms. Wall, you have confirmed my guess, right? Because of using that bracelet, you are also troubled by the curse."

"It was this Mr. Black who solved, or at least suppressed, your curse, didn't he?"

"What curse?"

Facing Dorian's question, Fors tried her best to control her expression and asked back.

Unfortunately, although she tried her best not to reveal any flaws, she was just a magician after all, and could not perform as seamlessly as the audience and the clown.

Dorian laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "Miss Wall, perhaps you lack the talent for acting."

"I……"

Forth wanted to refute, but soon lost his temper and curled his lips.

Dorian turned his hopeful gaze towards the ember again, hoping to get his answer.

"I can help you."

Yu Jin tapped the tabletop with his fingers and said slowly, "But the question is, what kind of reward can you give?"

"Any reward!"

Hearing this, Dorian not only did not feel that there was anything wrong, but replied without hesitation: "As long as you are willing to help, Abraham can pay any price!"

Yu Jin hesitated for two seconds, and said calmly, "If that's the case, I can give it a try."

He originally needed to obtain the potion formulas above Sequence 5 from Abraham, and even more than just potion formulas. This family that has been passed down for thousands of years, even if it has declined now, still has a rich heritage, otherwise it would not have been able to continue to this day.

Maybe his "family treasure house" not only contains the potion formula, but also the corresponding main ingredients -

Otherwise they would not be able to train so many apprentices in such a short period of time.

Unfortunately, these apprentices eventually betrayed Abraham.

"it is good!"

Dorian saw that Yu Jin finally nodded, with an ecstatic expression on his face, and his voice seemed to tremble a little, "If possible, I would like to contact other members of the family now. At least, let them meet with you, Mr. Black."

"can."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, and Dorian, who got the answer, left the room in a hurry after apologizing as if he was in a hurry to enter the bridal chamber.

"ember."

Fors absentmindedly flipped the grilled fish on the plate with a fork and asked in a low voice, "Are you really going to agree to him?"

"There's no harm in that, right?"

Ember nodded and said with a smile.

"That's what I said..."

Fors hesitated and said, "But if that's the case, then we won't be able to return to Backlund tonight? Hmm, should I send a telegram to Xio in advance?"

"No need to bother."

Yu Jin shook his head and said calmly in the face of the girl's puzzled expression, "You can just pray to the Fool and ask Him to help pass on your message, right?"

"..."

Fors opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopping herself, and didn't know what to say.

Is that how Mr. Fool used it?! He is a god who is being revived! And according to Mr. Dorian, this Mr. Fool might be the ancestor of the Antigonus family.

“Don’t have too much psychological burden.”

As if seeing through Fors's thoughts at a glance, Yu Jin said leisurely, "You can tell Mr. Fool about the conversation you had with Dorian just now. After all, this information must be of great value to Mr. Fool. And as a reward, it is not an excessive request to let "Him" pass on the message, right?"

Fors hesitated for two seconds, his expression somewhat relaxed, as if he had been convinced by the embers.

Finally, the girl nodded silently, tidied herself up a bit, and then recited in a low voice:
"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."

"I want to pray to you and tell you what happened to me today..."

……

Backlund, in the cafeteria of the Krag Club.

Klein was picking up food with Dr. Allen and the others. This was not because he wanted to save money on a meal, but simply because he happened to be passing by the Krag Club today. Now that we are here, it would be a waste if we don't eat, right?

But at this moment, he once again heard the illusory and overlapping voices of prayer, vaguely coming from a woman.

Klein's expression changed slightly, but he continued to pick up the food without making a sound. He and Dr. Allen found a place to sit nearby.

After putting down the plate, Klein said quickly:

"I'm going to the bathroom."

"Um?

Dr. Allen looked at Klein in surprise and strangeness, but Klein had already turned around and strode towards the bathroom after he finished speaking, and did not notice Dr. Allen's look at all.

After entering the bathroom, Klein locked the door and walked back four steps expertly into the gray fog.

Looking at the crimson stars that were constantly expanding and contracting, he spread his spirituality and chose to listen.

"Dorian Gray, the House of Abraham..."

"Abraham is cursed, prophesied by demigods, only fire and fools can save Abraham."

"The pinnacle of the Path of the Diviner is the Fool. Abraham and his friends suspect that the Fool is the ancestor of the Antigonus family..."

Klein was confused at first, but his expression soon changed because of Fors's information. Even the Joker's ability made him almost unable to control his expression.

Thunderclaps exploded in Klein's mind, causing him to become confused and feel a sense of fate:
"I'm so stupid, really!"

"I only knew that the sequence controlled by the Antigonus family was the Diviner's Path, but I never thought that the Diviner's Path's 'Sequence 0' might be 'The Fool'."

"The notes that caused the original owner's death and indirectly helped me travel through time came from the Antigonus family, who mastered the path of fortune-tellers."

"What made me finally choose the Fortune Teller's Potion was the diary of Emperor Roselle."

"And why do I call myself 'The Fool'? Is it because of that fortune teller?"

"But if the 'Fool' of the Antigonus family is still alive, then isn't my current behavior just a case of usurping someone else's position?"

At this moment, Klein's emotions were extremely complicated, as if there were two villains fighting in his heart.

One said: You are finished, when the Fool comes back, the first one to be settled will be you!

Another said: Impossible, he died a long time ago, I am the real 'fool'!
He tried hard to recall the face of the fortune teller, but found that he could not remember it at all.

He remembered that he met her in front of a low tent. He remembered that she wore a pointed hat and a long black skirt. Her face was painted with red and yellow paint, and her eyes were deep gray-blue. He remembered that she was driven away by the real fortune teller when she was halfway through her interpretation. The fortune teller who was fortune-telling for him was actually just a beast tamer.

But what about the face?

What does she look like?

"It's like fate has woven a suffocating web!"

"And what is hidden behind all this?"

Klein rubbed his temples, trying to calm himself down, while pulling Miss Magician above the gray fog.

Suddenly, Fors opened his eyes and saw endless gray fog below him, towering stone pillars, a majestic palace supported by the stone pillars, and an old, mottled bronze table in front of him.

At the top of the long bronze table, there was a mysterious and unusual figure wrapped in thick gray fog, seemingly overlooking everything.

Fors half stood up, bowed, and said respectfully:
“Mr. Fool.” Klein smiled and nodded.
"Your information is very valuable. What kind of reward do you want?"

"No, no reward."

Fors waved his hand, thought for a moment and then whispered:

“Mr. Fool, if possible, I hope you can help convey to…to Miss Judgment that we may not be able to return to Backlund in the short term.”

After saying this, Fors seemed a little nervous again.

This is Mr. Fool. Is it really okay to trouble him for such a small matter?

"This is really great!"

Klein couldn't help but feel relieved. He was afraid that Fors would make a request that he couldn't fulfill. It was just a small matter of passing on the message. It couldn't be easier.

However, he still had to pretend to be a fool. Klein just smiled and nodded.

"can."

"Thank you for your generosity."

Fors breathed a sigh of relief, but hesitated for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Mr. Fool, I have a question..."

Fors looked up at The Fool and found that The Fool was looking at her encouragingly, so she mustered up her courage and said:
"I want to know, Mr. 'Lover', what is his relationship with fire?"

Yu Jin did not allow her to ask this question, but Fors asked it out of her own will.

"Good question."

Klein raised his eyebrows slightly, and was quite satisfied with Fors's question. He had actually wanted to answer this question for a long time.

Klein raised his hand and pointed somewhere.

Fors looked in the direction pointed by Mr. Fool. Gray fog flowed like water, dotted with one crimson illusory "star" after another. Some of them were big, some were small, some were hidden deep inside, and some were floating on the surface.

"This is you."

Klein pointed at one of the lit crimson stars and said.

"I?"

Fors was a little stunned, but Klein quickly pointed to other stars:

"This is Miss Judgment."

"This is Miss Justice."

"This is Mr. Hanged Man..."

Klein introduced several stars, but Fors suddenly felt uneasy because Mr. Fool did not introduce the "lover"!
But soon, after introducing the other members, Klein finally pointed to a certain place and said slowly:
"That's a lover."

Fors looked in the direction the Fool pointed, and finally found a red star that was much larger than the other stars.

“Is this an ember?”

Fors thought subconsciously, but soon she realized her mistake.

Because when she looked carefully, she found that there was actually a small cluster of flames hidden behind the red star!

The flame was small and emitted a bright yellow light.

But its light was too weak, overlapping with those crimson stars, emitting a faint light that was almost imperceptible. If Mr. Fool hadn't pointed it out to her, she would never have noticed the existence of that small flame!
Fors was silent for a long time, then asked in a low voice, "That flame is the ember?"

"Yes."

Mr. Fool nodded slightly and sighed leisurely:
"The flames are his past, and also his curse. But whatever it is, it has long since become one with him."

If Miss Fors hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that the embers were represented by a cluster of flames. And this small cluster of flames could actually confirm some of his guesses -

The ember must have been one of the ones who usurped the fire or seized the fire, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why a cluster of flames represented his "soul"!
But this made Klein even more puzzled.

How could a person who could do such a heinous thing as usurping fire or seizing fire think about passing on fire all day long?
This beaver?

But, 'Only fire and fools can save Abraham'?

There seems to be nothing wrong with this statement. After all, the curse of Abraham's family is the mumbling of the full moon.

And this problem can be completely solved by the Abraham family, which has been well demonstrated in Fors. As for the Fool...

"Hey, wait, I can do this, right?"

Klein's expression suddenly became a little strange. Thinking carefully, was there a possibility that he could also solve their curse?

As long as the people of Abraham's family recite his name, he will give them protection on the full moon night.

So it seems that what the fool was pointing at was really me?
Is this prophecy so accurate?
Klein smiled with satisfaction. This meant that I was the only fool, which was a good thing.

But then, as if he had thought of something, Klein's expression suddenly became stiff.

If, he said if, if he came forward to help Abraham's family, what would he get?

First of all, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Since the Abraham family was once an angel family, it had at least one Sequence 2 or even Sequence 1 Beyonder. Even if such a family had fallen into decline and suffered betrayal, its foundation was by no means comparable to that of an ordinary secret organization.

If the Fool succeeds in helping them, he will surely gain Abraham's friendship and even convert them into his followers. Then when this "god" sends his followers to ask his followers for extraordinary materials or potion formulas, will they still refuse to give them? If he can conquer this ancient but declining family, wouldn't it mean that his future will be smooth? !

Doesn't this also mean that I have missed a good opportunity again? !
Thinking of the reward that Ember might get, The Fool forced a stiff smile on his face.

No, not a loss.

At least when Yu Jin gets these, he shouldn't be stingy about selling them to The World or Klein. Rounding it off, isn't this equivalent to no difference?

Well, it only costs a small amount, namely gold pounds.

Moreover, it may not be a good thing for all Abrahams to believe in me. For example, I cannot respond to them one by one, nor can I ensure that I can provide shelter to everyone. My spirituality is not enough to support me to do this, so this is actually a good thing!

Well, yes, that’s it!
Klein kept counseling and comforting himself in his heart, trying to convince his heart that was screaming, "I'm so sour!"

……

"What does 'Fool' say?"

In the restaurant's private room, Yu Jin looked at the girl who seemed to have not yet come to her senses and asked.

"Mr. Fool agreed."

Fors didn't look at him. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at the plate on the table. She picked up a piece of fried fish and stuffed it into her mouth as if she was extremely hungry. She said incoherently, "So, don't let me do this kind of thing next time. Don't you think it's too much to let Mr. Fool be the messenger?"

Ember shrugged and didn't reply.

He also lowered his head to look at the fried fish fillet on the plate. The two bulging eyes on the fish head were looking at Yu Jin at the same time, as if expressing its unwillingness to die. Even Yu Jin felt a little uncomfortable physically, so he picked up the fish head and threw it into the trash can.

"Boom!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After getting a response from the box, Dorian pushed the door open and walked in. He no longer looked as sad as before, as if he was relieved after putting down many burdens.

Dorian smiled and said:

"I have sent a telegram to other family members, and someone has responded. As agreed, we will meet in Deasy County in a few days."

Dorian was afraid that Yu Jin would find it troublesome, so he quickly explained, "Mr. Black, it would take nearly three days to travel from Pritz Harbor to Dessie County even if you take a steam train."

Yu Jin did not show the impatience that Dorian had imagined. He just asked calmly:

"When to set off?"

"how about tomorrow?"

Dorian asked cautiously, "I still need to wait for responses from other family members, so it would be best to wait until tomorrow morning and then take a cruise ship or steam train to Dessie County."

Fors was a little puzzled, "Doesn't that mean we have to stay in Pritz Harbor for another day? Then we have to find a hotel in the afternoon..."

"That's not necessary."

Dorian smiled and said, "I have a villa in the suburbs of Pritz Harbor. Although I don't live there, I have always hired a maid to clean it. If you don't mind, you can go there to rest tonight."

"..."

Fors didn't want to talk. Should he say that it was indeed an ancient family that had been passed down for thousands of years? Even though it had declined, the wealth it possessed was still an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

Not only did he buy a villa but he didn't live in it, he also had to hire a maid to clean it. It was like he bought a villa specifically for the maid and had to pay her a salary.

"By the way, there's also this."

Dorian seemed to have thought of something and suddenly took out a notebook.

"This is……"

Fors took a look and saw that it was the notebook that Mr. Lawrence had given her.

Dorian stroked the cover of the notebook and said softly:

"It's called Lemano's Travel Notes, but we prefer to call it Lemano's Magic Book."

"This magic book allows you to record some extraordinary abilities while witnessing them."

"This will be fixed to one of the pages of your notebook and saved for a long time. You can use it whenever you need it. But after using it once, the corresponding page will become blank again, waiting for you to record again."

"shepherd?"

Ember asked thoughtfully.

“Very similar.”

Dorian nodded and explained, "This corresponds to the extraordinary ability of our Sequence 6 'Recorder' in the Apprentice Pathway. In a way, it can even be said to be stronger than the 'Shepherd'! Because the Shepherd can only drive one soul at a time, while the Recorder can use multiple abilities at the same time!"

Ember remained noncommittal, neither refuting nor confirming.

Although Dorian was born into an ancient family and knew many secrets, he was only a Sequence 7, so even if he saw the descriptions of many things, he could not really imagine them. And because he was an apprentice, and coupled with the former glory of the Abraham family, he naturally had the illusion that "my path was the best in the world."

But in fact, both the recorder and the shepherd have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The former can use multiple abilities at the same time, but each ability can only be used once, and the number is limited.

Although the latter needs to switch the soul to exert the extraordinary ability corresponding to the soul, this process can be changed instantly and the shepherd can also drive the soul of the "recorder", such as Mr. A.

"It can record three demigod-level Beyonder abilities, ten Sequence 3 and Sequence 10 Beyonder abilities, and 5 Sequence 6 and below Beyonder abilities. However, the higher the sequence, the greater the chance of failure, so it often takes several or even dozens of times to succeed."

"And the higher the sequence, the worse the effect. Sequence 4 and above may only be half of the original, and even Sequence 5 may only have 80% of the original."

"Besides that, like other magical items, it has a strong negative effect. Every time you use it, it will make you lost, and you will encounter various dangers, or even lose your life! You must draw your own blood after use and apply it evenly on the cover to eliminate this effect."

Fors nodded repeatedly, but at the end he asked with some doubt:
"Mr. Dorian, why are you telling us this?"

“Abraham will repay kindness.”

Dorian seemed to have expected her to ask this question. He handed the notebook to Fors with a smile and said seriously, "Whether you can solve the curse we are carrying or not, this notebook will serve as compensation for your efforts!"

"Compensation? You're really courageous."

Fors took the notebook and sighed softly in her heart.

They got a magical item for free without doing anything. The Abraham family is really rich. But Mr. Dorian did this to prove to them that the Abraham family can really give them enough compensation, right?
But is this really necessary?

It was just a prophecy that had never been confirmed. They couldn't even confirm the identity of the ember, but they were willing to pay such a high price. Did they really believe in the so-called prophecy? Or was it because they were desperate? Or was there some other reason?
Fors handed the notebook to Yu Jin, and as she looked at Yu Jin's profile, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.

What exactly is "flame"? What is the relationship between embers and flames? Is the reason why he has no heartbeat also related to flames?
Seeing Yu Jin and the other man accept this magical item, Dorian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"I still have some things to take care of, so I won't disturb you while you eat. If you need extra food, you can ask Chef Sergei in the kitchen. If you need me for anything, I'll be in the study upstairs."

"By the way, here is the address and key of the villa."

Dorian placed a note and a key on the table, then backed out of the box, even considerately closing the door.

"Isn't he worried that we might just run away with the stuff?"

Fors complained, and turned around to find Yu Jin holding his notebook in a daze. She couldn't help but ask in a puzzled voice, "What are you thinking about?"

Yu Jin hesitated for two seconds and suddenly asked:

"I'm wondering, can this notebook only record extraordinary abilities?"

Fors was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment, and asked instinctively:

"Besides extraordinary abilities, what else is there?"

Yu Jin thought for a moment and replied seriously: "Magic, spells, miracles, yes, combat skills, prayers..."

"..."

Fors hesitated, "Are you sure these aren't the same thing? Or should they all be classified as extraordinary abilities? What's the difference?"
……

Dorian left the restaurant and returned to the office on the second floor, closing the door. The curtains had been drawn in the office, making the light in the room particularly dim. Dorian was obviously used to it, so he just walked to his desk and sat down in silence.

Woo!
There was a sudden breeze in the office, carrying with it the sound of crying.

Circles of light spread out rapidly, seemingly forming a door beyond normal concepts.

A half-illusory and half-real spherical object flew out from the "bottom" of the aperture. It was milky white all over, without eyes, nose, arms, legs or feet. There was only a crack on the surface that looked like a mouth.

Dorian smiled visibly, opened his mouth, and hummed a folk-flavored lullaby.

The 'ball' swayed from side to side, appearing extremely comfortable.

After humming the song, Dorian reached out his hand.

The 'ball' jumped up and down, its body suddenly swelled up, and its 'mouth' opened wide.

Then, it spat out a letter.

"Well done, Malmos."

Dorian passed the letter to the owner and praised the ball, which made the ball swing happily again. However, when Dorian opened the letter and quickly scanned it with great expectation, his eyes turned into disappointment and loneliness at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He lied, and no one in his family responded as he said in front of Yu Jin, and they agreed to meet in Desi County a few days later.

In fact, he did not use a telegraph to communicate with others, but was a "messenger" which was relatively rare even among extraordinary people.

The messenger allowed him to communicate with members of Abraham's family living around the world at a faster and more convenient rate, and he could ensure that it was they who received the letter.

But unfortunately, among all the people he contacted, not a single one responded with encouragement or support!

Dorian's face was full of bitterness. After thousands of years, only a few people in Abraham's family were willing to believe in the prophecy. Especially after experiencing that betrayal, their vigilance and rejection of outsiders increased day by day.

The reason why he said that they would meet in Disi County in four days was actually just a delaying tactic.

He hoped that he could write to as many family members as possible within these four days and persuade as many of them as possible. Although he didn't know how many people would go, it was still a hope after all. Even if this hope was extremely vague and illusory, even if it seemed as far away as a mirage.

But no matter what, people can only grasp the fleeting miracle by reaching out their hands!
“But is it all worth it?”

Dorian sat at the table, looking at the last sentence of the letter, his white fingers grasping the edge of the letter paper tightly, and he was silent for a long time. But in the end, all this turned into a long sigh. But his eyes, at this moment, became more determined than ever before.

He picked up a pen and took out a clean piece of letter paper.

"worth!"

"Nothing is more worth fighting for than this! My parents, my brothers, my sisters, my children, and countless ancestors thousands of years ago. Too many people paid the price of their lives because of the curse!"

"If there's hope that the curse can be lifted in my generation, then why shouldn't we do it?!"

"Even if not for ourselves, then for our children...for your children, we should at least try, right?"

Dorian folded the letter and handed it to his messenger Malmos, and then he took out another clean letter. The members of Abraham's family were scattered all over the world, and Dorian needed to use different tones for different people.

This time, he only wrote a short sentence:

“Make Abraham great again!”

PS: This is a great work with great potential, worth a look, I recommend it again
