Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 137 Teleport in Hand, the World is Mine
When going downstairs, Yu Jin bumped into Audrey's brother Hibbert. Although Hibbert's strange look clearly showed that he was wondering how Yu Jin got into Audrey's room, he still politely invited Yu Jin to stay for dinner, but Yu Jin declined.

Leaving Earl Hall's luxurious villa, walking on the strange yet familiar streets from the villa area to the Hillston area, Yu Jin felt calmer than ever before. Because as time went by, he recovered more and more memories.

Although most of the memories still lacked details, they were enough for Yu Jin to make a relatively accurate judgment about his current situation.

He had originally wanted to go to the North District and clock in at the Backlund Detective Agency. But then he changed his mind and decided not to go since he had been absent from work for more than a month. Al Hassan and the others should be used to it anyway, so they probably wouldn't mind.

Yu Jin wanted to go back to 117 Burningham Road, but on the way back, he saw a familiar figure on the street - a girl wearing traditional knight training clothes. The girl's facial features were delicate and soft, but her eyebrows and eyes seemed to have not grown, and she was quite immature. Although she had messy and rough shoulder-length yellow hair, she had an indescribable majesty and a believable charm.

The most important thing is her height, which is at most 1.5 meters - well, at most. After all, if the height of her shoes is not counted, it is really hard to say whether she can be more than 1.5 meters.

That was Hugh, Hugh Dilcher, one of the two roommates that Yu Jin lived with. She was staring at a brown carriage passing by on the street, as if there was something on it that she was interested in. Yu Jin glanced at the carriage and saw a coat of arms consisting of a flower and two rings.

In Backlund, there were many families with carriages, and middle-class people like Dr. Allen could also have their own private carriages. However, only nobles were allowed to have coats of arms inlaid on their carriages.

Ordinary people stared at the carriage in a daze, perhaps because they envied the nobles' lavish life. But Yu Jin knew very well that Xiou was not that kind of person. He quietly came to the girl's side, and Xiou was still staring at the miniature of the carriage moving away in a daze, and seemed to be in a very low mood.

Ember suddenly spoke:

"What are you looking at?"

"ah!"

Xio was startled by the sudden sound behind him. He turned around and found it was Yu Jin. There was a look of surprise and resentment in his eyes. "You walk without making any sound?"

"You're just concentrating too much."

Yu Jin shrugged and asked, "Whose carriage is that? You seem to care about it?"

"That……"

Xio pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time before he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "That was someone I used to know, Viscount Stratford."

"Who?"

Ember asked back.

"..."

Xio looked up at the embers, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Yu Jin is a noble of the Kingdom of Loen after all. Even though he was born in the bitterly cold Winter County, for an orthodox noble, identifying the family crests and identities of other nobles should be common sense, right?
Xio was silent for a long time, then said with some difficulty:

"He is the current captain of the palace guard. I should have told you that my father once served as the commander of the royal guard and the captain of the palace guard. At that time, Viscount Stratford was my father's deputy."

After a pause, Xio said bitterly, "Before he was accused of 'rebellion' and sentenced to 'hanging', and stripped of his title and fiefdom."

Yu Jin saw what she was thinking and asked:

"What do you think he might know?"

Xio hesitated for a long time before he said firmly:

"It's not possible, he must know something!"

"That's it."

Yu Jin stroked his chin, looked at the carriage disappearing at the end of his sight, and said thoughtfully, "I just happen to have some questions to ask him, and this may also solve the mystery of your father being framed."

Xio was silent for a long time before he whispered:

"Give me some time, I can find his residence."

"unnecessary."

Yu Jin shook his head, and in front of Xio's surprised gaze, he said simply, "Just wait."

Xio instantly remembered the strange creatures summoned by Yu Jin, and immediately understood what was going on. He chuckled and said:

"I understand, but..."

"But what?"

Facing Yu Jin's question, Xio raised his head and whispered:
"ember."

"Ok?"

"You seem to have become much more radical than before."

Quinn mustered up the courage to look Ember in the eyes and meet his gaze.

In the past, Yu Jin would emphasize investigating without alerting the target, and would hope to make a move only after being fully prepared, but now he seems to have completely forgotten all of this. Just because he ran into Viscount Stratford on the street, he wanted to attack him directly.

Yu Jin smiled and said calmly:

"That's because I remembered some things and figured some things out."

Xio blinked, as if realizing something.

It seems that this trip to the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" has caused a lot of changes in Yu Jin. However, this may not be a bad thing.

……

117 Birningham Road.

When Yu Jin entered the living room, he found that Fors was not lying motionless on the sofa as before. This made him a little confused. Could it be that Fors had changed her personality?

Xio took out the key and opened the door. Seeing the confusion in Yu Jin's eyes, he sighed helplessly.

She walked quickly to the door of Fors's room, grasped the door handle and turned it gently. The smooth touch on her hand proved that the door was not locked. This made Xio nodded with relief, and then - with a bang, she kicked the door open.

"Ahhh! Hugh! What are you doing again? I didn't lock the door!"

"That's why I have to kick the door because it's not locked. Otherwise, what if I break it? Come on, be good and let me take care of it!"

“Xiu, please don’t come over here…Ahh! No, no, don’t do that kind of thing…No!”

From upstairs came the loud screams of a young girl, the sound of wind blowing up when the quilt was lifted up forcefully, and the girl's cries of pain accompanying the sound of the wind - after all, having your warm quilt suddenly lifted up on a winter morning, and being assaulted by the cold wind that coveted the girl's warm body, is certainly not a pleasant experience.

Finally, Fors used up all her strength and, under the majestic gaze of her 1.5-meter-tall friend, she finally overcame the coldness brought by winter. She changed into a dark blue thick cotton dress, wrapped a light gray scarf around her, put on a warm lady's soft hat, and walked into the living room fully armed as if she was going out.

"Ha~"

Fors held her hands to her mouth and blew out a breath, rubbing her hands vigorously, and greeted weakly, "Welcome back, Yu Jin."

"Are you so cold?"

Xio, who had been watching Fors coming down from upstairs, asked speechlessly.

"if not?"

Fors asked confidently, "Do you want me to throw myself on him excitedly, crying and saying something like 'You're finally back' with joy?"

"Then forget it."

Xiu thought about this scene, goose bumps all over his body, and shook his head decisively. Even Miss Sissi created by Fors would not do such a thing. This is totally inconsistent with Fors's character.

"so."

Fors sat down on the sofa and snorted, "It's just a reunion after a long separation, why do you have to make it feel like a farewell forever?"

Although what she said made sense, Yu Jin suddenly felt a little funny when he looked at the girl who was so serious and logical as if she was having a debate.

He shook his head and asked:

"What's the reaction from the Abraham family?"

"No reaction."

Fors straightened her chest and said with a hint of pride, "Before, they did have a lot of speculations because of your sudden disappearance. But with my witty dealings, they no longer had any doubts. And with the 'healing tears' you left behind, they also successfully passed the full moon last month."

"With this opportunity, they finally believe that you can cure their curse. However..."

"But what?"

Yu Jin looked at Fors with some doubt, causing her to lower her head with a guilty conscience. She added in a low voice, "But I took your name and asked the Abraham family for some extraordinary materials and potion formulas."

"very good."

"Eh?"

When Fors heard Yu Jin's approving voice, she looked up in surprise and asked weakly, "Do you mind?"

Ember asked back:
"What do you mind? If you don't want anything, then that person was saved in vain, right?"

He helped the Abraham family cure their curse, and it was originally a matter of mutual benefit, not charity for nothing. Although Fors was just pretending to be powerful, she did help cure the members of the Abraham family last month, so it was reasonable for her to ask the Abraham family for some compensation.

What’s more, Fors is only a Sequence 8 magician. How much can she ask for from the Abraham family?

Fors muttered softly:

"I'm glad you don't mind. I hope you'll say the same thing in the future."

"What?" "Nothing."

Fors's eyes dodged and she changed the subject, "The full moon will be in five days. Are you going to come and treat me in person this time?"

"How is the treatment going?"

Yu Jin pondered for two seconds and asked.

Fors said excitedly:

"Just as you guessed, 'Healing Tears' can temporarily remove the curse and the torment of whispering. But when the next full moon night comes, you will still be tormented by whispering. The 'Regression Principle' is different. It can indeed completely cure the curse!"

Fors paused and explained, "However, this seems to be limited to me. At least during the last full moon night, all the Abrahams who had received treatment in the basement were tortured by mumbling, but I heard nothing. This should be related to their bloodline."

Yu Jin nodded slightly. This was all within his expectations. The curse of the Abraham family came from their bloodline, so even if the curse was completely removed, the Abrahams would still be cursed again in a short period of time.

But Fors herself did not have the blood of the Abraham family, it was just a side effect of using magical items. So after the curse was removed, as long as she did not use such magical items again, she would not be cursed again.

Of course, even if she wanted to commit suicide, she had no chance, after all, the necklace had been restored to its extraordinary characteristics.

"Then you should continue."

Yu Jin thought about it, shook his head and refused, "Both the treatment and the negotiations with the Abraham family are still your responsibility."

"By the way, this is for you."

Fors nodded, then suddenly took off the ring on her hand and handed it to him, saying softly, "I used the extraordinary characteristics I obtained from the Abraham family before, and asked Mr. 'The Hanged Man' to help find a craftsman to make it. The ability is the same as the previous bracelet, which allows people to use the spirit world to teleport. The side effects are also the same as before. After using it, you will hear mumbling during the full moon, but I don't think you will care about this curse."

Yu Jin took the ring and glanced down. The ring itself was ordinary, but there was a crystal stone on the top that was so transparent that it was almost unreal.

【Traveler's Ring】

[A ring made with the extraordinary characteristics of the traveler,

Can use the Traveler's Gate.

The extraordinary qualities of travelers have been sought after since ancient times.

Because even for saints and angels,

Teleportation to the spirit world is also an extraordinary ability that they can only encounter but cannot seek.

It contains the madness of the ancestors in the blood.
Curses all users. 】

Fors complained:

"After getting this ring, I realized that the stone bracelet I had before was completely shoddy! Well, in the words of Emperor Roselle, it was a 'fake product'."

Although other people's magical items have side effects, they can at least be used infinitely. The stone bracelet not only has side effects, but can only be used five times! Although the stone bracelet helped her a lot when she was still weak, it did not affect Fors's complaints about the craftsmanship of the "craftsman" who made the stone bracelet.

"You do not need?"

Ember raised his head and looked at Fors, frowning and asking.

Fors said seriously:

"Yes, but you need it more, don't you?"

As she spoke, Fors winked at Yu Jin, "And you're almost promoted to Sequence 6, aren't you? Maybe in a few months you'll be a Sequence 5 Traveler. If you don't need this ring anymore, you can just return it to me, right? What's more, I still have my travel notes. If I need them, can't you just help me record two Traveler's Gates?"

"Or, you don't want it?"

"No, it's just a pity."

Yu Jin shook his head and did not reject Fors's kindness. He did not understand the Black Emperor well enough, so there was still a possibility that the Black Emperor could escape. This ring could help him track down the enemy when he escaped, which was perfect.

"What's a pity?"

Yu Jin shook his head and said regretfully:
"What a pity it is that it is a ring."

Fors hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously:
"What's wrong with the ring?"

"I only have ten fingers."

Yu Jin glanced at her and spoke concisely.

Fors was stunned and her cheeks turned red.

She specifically asked for it to be made in the shape of a ring because she saw that Yu Jin liked to wear rings, but her good intentions ended up doing something worse.

Yu Jin glanced at Fors and said:

"But it doesn't matter. After all, not all rings have the same effect."

Even with the side effects, this ring is far more effective than most rings.

For example, the Transformation Ring that can transform a person into the opposite sex is a pure and precious item, and only a transvestite would use it. Another example is the Disaster Ring that doubles the damage taken, and the Skull Ring that taunts and attracts enemy attacks. To Yu Jin, these are pure worthless items, and it is a pity to throw them away.

"Hmm~"

Fors puffed up her face. She felt like she was being teased. Her eyes were a little resentful, but her body was still very honest as she warned, "Remember not to use the spirit world teleportation for too long each time. You can't stay in the spirit world for too long, otherwise it's easy to get lost in it."

Yu Jin put the ring on his finger solemnly and replied solemnly:
"I remember."

The spirit world is one of the most important cornerstones of the mysterious world. Although Yu Jin does not have a deep understanding of it, he knows that the existence of the spirit world is quite wonderful.

The spirit world and the real world completely overlap, so everyone can get enlightenment from the spirit world at any time, but the spirit world has no up, down, left, or right, and the past, future, and present may all intersect here. It is like a strange ocean formed by the compression of countless knowledge, countless information, and countless illusory spirits, which is completely different from the "world" in normal concepts and normal logic.

The essence of the Traveler's Gate is to allow people to travel through the spirit world, where they can sense the outside world and locate themselves. But if this process lasts too long, and people stay in the spirit world for too long, it is easy for them to lose their way, lose their sense of the real world, and then get completely lost in the depths of the spirit world.

Of course, if the user is a traveler, he can return to the real world through positioning even if he gets lost. But if the user uses the Traveler's Gate through a magical item, they only have the location of their departure time, which means that if they stay in the spirit world for too long, they will easily get lost in it.

But thinking of this, Yu Jin suddenly thought of another question:
There is no concept of up, down, left, or right in the spirit world, and the past, future, and present may all intersect here. This means that if he is in the spirit world and Lilith happens to summon him again, he will also be summoned, which is also a kind of "teleportation".

What about above the gray fog? If above the gray fog can achieve the same effect, does it mean that above the gray fog is similar to the spirit world?

This speculation continued to grow in his mind like a virus, constantly attacking the shackles that originally bound him, as if two armies were engaging in a devastating and brutal battle in his mind.

And finally, the virus-like thoughts took over, and they successfully broke through the shackles - at least part of the shackles, and this also made Yu Jin remember more things, such as -

"Origin Castle."

Ember whispered softly.

"What castle?"

Fors was stunned for a moment and didn't hear clearly.

"No, it's nothing."

Yu Jin raised his head, his eyes were extremely deep but he denied it flatly. He waved his hand as if to change the subject and manifested a few things on the table.

As expected, Fors's attention was drawn to it. She looked over subconsciously and was attracted by two of the rings.

"what is this?"

There was some curiosity in Fors and Xio's eyes, and they couldn't help but ask.

"Sacrificial Ring."

In response to the girl's puzzled inquiry, Yu Jin replied, "These things will serve as compensation for taking your ring away for the time being."

"sacrifice……"

Fors and Xio spoke in unison, biting their tongues at the same time and covering their tongues in pain. Their synchronization rate was 100%.

They had never seen a sacrificial ring, but they had heard of it as a ring that could bring people back to life after they joined the Tarot Club! And the value of this ring was undoubtedly invaluable!

Fors's eyes were filled with emotion, but she still gritted her teeth and refused:

"No, this is too precious..."

Yu Jin shook his head and said calmly:
"Don't rush to refuse. Whether it's precious or not depends on the person. For me, sacrificing the ring is undoubtedly useless. Using it in exchange with you is actually a bargain for me."

"You don't need two."

Fors was forced to swallow back what she was about to say and muttered softly.

"Just say whether you want it or not."

"want!"

Fors and Xio looked at each other and said in unison.

If Yu Jin dares to give it to them, then they can take it. At worst, they can find a way to compensate them later.

Miss Audrey gave them 10,000 pounds. They can't pay it back now, but they will definitely be able to pay it back in the future.
