Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 150 The reason why miracles are miracles
On the outskirts of the North District, in a vast manor.

Dorian looked at the middle-aged man who had returned from investigating outside the manor and asked in a deep voice:

"Verdu, what's the situation outside?"

Verdu, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a university professor, shook his head and said, "There are no people from the Aurora Society, and there is no ambush."

"No? How is that possible?"

Dorian showed a look of astonishment and disbelief.

Since Louis Wayne dared to raid Abraham's manor, he certainly would not come alone. Even if he relied on teleportation to do whatever he wanted, they knew to ask the Aurora Society for help when they betrayed Abraham before, so it was impossible for them not to notify the Aurora Society this time.

So even though Louis Wayne was dealt with, Dorian did not dare to relax at all, because he firmly believed that the outside world must have been surrounded by the extraordinary people of the Aurora Society. But now Verdu told him that there was nothing, how could this be possible?

Is Louis Wayne really so arrogant that he can deal with everyone by himself? Why? Even if he is a Sequence 5, it is not so easy to catch Abraham and others in one fell swoop. Is he really so arrogant? No, it shouldn't be that simple!
Dorian considered himself familiar with his most outstanding disciple. Even if Louis Wayne had a brain problem due to joining the Aurora, he was definitely not a fool! He knew very well that even if Abraham did not have a Sequence 6, he had more than one powerful Sealed Artifact that was enough to fight against Sequence 5 Beyonders. It was impossible for him not to seek support from the Aurora Society...

Dorian suddenly thought of a guess and subconsciously cast his eyes to the side of the dining table. There, Fors was feeding ice cream to the little girl named Kulala beside him.

Just now, it was the pair of seemingly petite loli twins who played a key role in killing Louis Wayne. One blocked Louis Wayne's possibility of escaping, and the other used unknown means to sneak behind Louis and gave him a fatal backstab.

He originally thought that Fors was a bodyguard for the twins, but now he realized that it was actually the other way around! Louis Wayne was not a fool, and Sequence 5 was definitely not a weakling, but he still died here. What about the backup from the Aurora Society that he invited?

Dorian turned his gaze back to Verdu and found that he was looking at Fors and the others in surprise. He knew that he had probably guessed the reason - it's not that Louis didn't ask the Aurora Society for help, but most of the people who came had probably been dealt with.

Dorian took a deep breath, feeling a little scared and a little relieved.

What they feared was that this crisis almost caused the Abraham family to suffer another heavy blow. Fortunately, the Abraham family made the most correct decision in history. The prophecy that the ancestor exchanged for his life was precious. Taking refuge, or seeking help from the "flame", was the only way to save Abraham!

Although Dorian was excited, he did not forget the important things. The most important thing now was to appease other family members to avoid any trouble. However, he was temporarily unable to get away.

"Verdu."

Dorian thought for a moment, looked at Verdu, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and called out.

Verdu immediately understood, nodded imperceptibly, and turned to announce to the other Abrahams that the crisis had been resolved.

Dorian took a deep breath, walked towards Fors and the others, and asked with a smile:

"Ms. Fors, is the ice cream tasty?"

“It tastes very good.”

Fors exclaimed in praise, but soon said in a low voice with some regret, "It's a pity that it's too cold. If you eat too much, you will get drunk..."

The taste was good, but eating ice cream in winter was really addictive. The feeling of coolness would undoubtedly make people shiver all over. Kulala was essentially a soul, and even though she had eaten a lot, she was still fine. But Fors was different. Even if she was greedy, she could only lick it occasionally.

"That's good."

Dorian seemed to be relieved, but soon his expression became serious again. He asked in a low voice, "The location of this manor has been exposed. I suggest that we move as soon as possible after completing the treatment and choose another gathering place next time. Does Miss Fors have any suggestions?"

“About this.”

Forth thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Dorian, you said before that the Abraham family has at least five magical items similar to 'Lemanno's Travel Notes', right?"

"Yes." Dorian was silent for a moment and nodded slightly, "We have many similar 'magic books'."

"Did you bring it?" Fors asked.

Dorian was stunned for a moment, not quite reacting.

"Is such that."

Fors explained, "It's too dangerous for everyone to gather together. It's easy to be caught in one fell swoop like today, and it's inconvenient for them to come from all over. So, if you have other 'magic books', you can record the 'healing tears' by yourself, then the gathering place is not limited to one place, which is safer, isn't it?"

Dorian was speechless for a long time. This was true, but in this way, the initiative would not be completely in the hands of the other party, and it might even be considered a "breakup". In order to avoid this, Dorian had always restrained the members of the Abraham family and prohibited them from secretly recording the "Healing Tears" in private.

But now Fors actually took the initiative to ask them to record it, which was beyond Dorian's expectations...

Dorian took a deep breath and said quickly:

"I'll go and notify them right away."

He didn't act pretentiously or refuse, because this was indeed what he wanted, not to mention that the other party took the initiative to propose it. And in the final analysis, this situation cannot completely free the Abraham family from the curse. After all, with the iteration of the record, the effect will decline again and again. Even the healing tears recorded by Fors were not one-handed. If they want to recover, they will eventually have to rely on the embers.

Soon, the Abrahams were called together again.

The resolution of the crisis made them relax a little, but the approaching full moon made their nerves tense again.

Finally, the red moon emerged from the clouds, shining brightly and perfectly. Through the balconies that were either open or closed, it cast a bright light into the hall. But in this bright and clear light, Abraham and his friends were greeted only by painful mutterings.

Fortunately, Fors had already mastered the trick. She used her palm to hold the "Lemanno's Travel Notes" from closing, and slid her fingers across the smooth white paper of the corresponding page, allowing the strange patterns and symbols full of mystery and antiquity to appear directly in her mind with the help of her sense of touch.

With the infusion of spirituality, a white-gold circular magic circle like a moon appeared under her feet. With her as the center, it spread outwards like water waves, and the whispers that came with the full moon also disappeared into thin air.

After doing all this, Fors breathed a sigh of relief and cast his eyes on several members of the Abraham family beside him. They were all elders of Abraham, two of whom were Verdu and Dorian. They each held a variety of extraordinary items, but without exception, they were all made of the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 6 'Recorder'.

And there was only one purpose, which was to record as many healing tears as possible that she had just performed.

however……

When everything was over and Fors looked at them, they could only stare at each other.

"Did you succeed?" Dorian's voice was a little difficult.

"Failed."

Verdu looked bitter, and when he looked at the others, they all felt the same.

There were five magical items made with the extraordinary characteristics of the Recorder, but their records all ended in failure without exception.

“Is this really a Beyonder ability below Sequence 7?” Verdu couldn’t help but ask.

The "Healing Tears" recorded in "Lemanno's Travel Notes" is just on a blank sheet of paper. It corresponds to the Beyonder Abilities of Sequence 9 to Sequence 7. Logically speaking, the success rate of recording such low-sequence Beyonder Abilities is at least 80%! They have a total of five magical items of the same type. According to the proportion, they should be able to successfully record at least four times. Even if their luck is a little worse, it will be fine even if it happens three times, twice, or even once!

But now I haven’t succeeded even once. Isn’t the success rate too low?

After hearing Dorian's conversation, Fors understood what was going on and said silently in her heart:
“Perhaps this has something to do with the nature of this ability.”

Yu Jin once said that "Healing Tears" was not an extraordinary ability of an extraordinary person, but something called a "miracle". Fors didn't know what a "miracle" was, but she knew that if a "miracle" was so easy to replicate, it wouldn't be called a miracle.

Although the healing tears only need to occupy the white paper representing the low sequence, it does not mean that its own rank is only Sequence 7. Similarly, Ember recorded it accurately, but this does not mean anything. It is like Ember recorded the teleportation of Sequence 5, which was also successful, but it does not mean that other people have this ability.

"still have a chance."

Dorian said in a deep voice, "I will go to the basement to do the promotion later. You can take this opportunity to record it again."

"Okay." Verdu nodded silently. Although there was indeed one more chance, he felt that he would not succeed this time.

Dorian had already prepared for the promotion, but not in the hall, but in the basement of the manor. This was a preparation for the failure of the promotion. Once he lost control during the promotion process, others would be ready to kill Dorian in the basement to prevent him from escaping from the basement and hurting others.

Dorian walked into the basement with a calm face, and began to mix the recorder's potion skillfully and calmly. Just like Abraham who was under great psychological pressure and ready to kill him at any time, Dorian was also ready to lose control and be killed.

Fors was standing at the entrance to the basement. She was only responsible for using the "Healing Tears" when Dorian was promoted. The rest was not her responsibility, nor was it her business to consider.

"call!"

Dorian prepared the potion, and under the gaze of others, he took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to drink the potion in his hand.

The moment Dorian took the potion, he could already feel the changes in his body - his brain was expanding rapidly as if it was about to explode, and the gray wrinkles and bulges were growing wildly! But for Dorian, these were not the most difficult things to endure. The most difficult thing was the sudden whispers in his mind. The horrible whispers constantly stimulated his body, causing every cell in his body to grow wildly, as if to turn him into a disgusting mass of flesh!

Almost in the blink of an eye, his consciousness was swallowed by the mumbling. He thought that he would fail in the promotion, but he never expected that he would be drowned in endless mumbling at the beginning of the promotion, and even lost the ability to think. The muscles on his face twisted and revealed a painful expression.

Suddenly, he screamed and fell to the ground, struggling and pinching his neck, roaring like a monster. It was only a second after he drank the potion, but he was already on the verge of losing control!

Fors hurriedly turned the page of Lemanno's Travel Notes to the page corresponding to the healing tears, and a white-gold circular magic circle like a moon quickly expanded, covering Dorian's body in the blink of an eye. But to everyone's surprise, it did not work as expected!

No, it should be said that it did work. At least the whispers in Dorian's mind disappeared, but his spirit and consciousness had long been polluted by the whispers, and his body also underwent horrible changes because of the whispers. In just one second, he had torn his clothes, shed his skin, and turned into a bloody monster!

And these changes in the body will not disappear along with the disappearance of the mumbling! On the surface of his swollen flesh, there are still countless spreading and growing buds waving outwards, swaying in the wind like branches. But Dorian's body imprisoned them, not letting them escape, pulling them back and forth between expansion and contraction.

Anyone could see that in the next second, the flesh and blood would explode like a dandelion with a bang and splash all around.

There was a trace of pain and struggle in Verdu's eyes, but these complex emotions turned into determination in an instant. He must end Dorian's suffering while he is still a human being, or at least looks like a human being!

"and many more!"

Beads of sweat appeared on Fors's forehead. She saw the signs that the others were about to take action, and hurriedly shouted to stop Abraham's actions. And the "Lemano's Travel Notes" in her hand also turned to another page.

“Sunlight heals.”

[The Saints Serving the Sunshine Princess

A miracle that was specially taught.

It can restore health to a large extent and for surrounding characters.

Gavialvia, beloved by all,
Grant the grace of miracles to many warriors. 】

The golden light continued to condense in the girl's hands, and finally bloomed with a 'ping' sound, transforming into a golden magic circle that was as warm and soft as the rising sun, covering the entire basement in an instant!
At that moment, everyone in the room felt healed, both physically and mentally. But Fors didn't care about what happened next. She just took a deep breath and used 'teleport' to leave the basement. She had done what she should do, and no matter what happened next, it had nothing to do with her.

But what she didn't know was that shortly after she left, Dorian, who had swelled up into a bloody monster, began to rapidly peel off the granulations on his body like dead skin, and in the blink of an eye, a thick layer of "meat sauce" condensed on the ground.

But as this layer of "meat paste" was peeled off, Dorian's body gradually returned to normal. His face still had an expression twisted by pain, but his originally old and rough skin became extremely delicate and white, like a newborn baby.

He, lying in a pool of blood, looked out of place with the layer of "meat paste" that was still wriggling. It was impossible to tell that it was a part of his body just a second ago!

"This……"

Verdu opened his mouth wide, not expecting such a reversal. But no matter what, at least from now on, they should not need to attack Dorian anymore. Just as he was thinking, Dorian finally woke up at this moment. At this moment, he was at a loss, and he only felt his body was sticky, as if countless tentacles were touching his skin, which was extremely sensitive.

When he came to his senses, he found himself lying among the wriggling pieces of flesh. He was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground and jumped far away.

"Dorian, how do you feel?" Verdu asked in a deep voice.

"very good."

Dorian heard this and felt his body. A look of joy appeared on his face. He said excitedly, "I succeeded! I was promoted to Sequence 6 Records Officer!"

Verdu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to the others and asked quickly:

“Did anyone among you successfully record the two extraordinary abilities that Miss Fors used just now?!”

"I don't have any, not even one..."

"Me too……"

Abraham and his friends looked at each other, all with somewhat awkward expressions, because they had not recorded anything as before. This made them doubt their lives a little bit, since they were all using magical items, so why was there such a big difference?
Verdu remained silent, because he did not record any of them. This meant that the lifeblood of Abraham and his friends was still firmly in the hands of the other party.

Verdu couldn't help but look bitter, but who could he blame? Should he blame Miss Fors? Miss Fors had helped cure the curse that had plagued Abraham for thousands of years. Even if it was only a temporary solution, at least there was a treatment method. And Miss Fors had generously allowed them to record it. If they couldn't record it, it was their own problem. Who could they blame Miss Fors?
If they really have such thoughts, they are not worthy of shouting the slogan of making Abraham great again!
"That's good too."

Dorian saw that they were in a low mood and comforted them, "At least my success means that Abraham and his team can go further. As for the treatment method, it may be a good thing that it is not recorded."

If the treatment method can only be controlled by the other party, whether you can advance and get rid of the curse depends entirely on the other party's mood. This certainly makes Abraham and others controlled by others, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. Because as long as they are always controlled by others, at least they will not arouse the other party's vigilance, and other people with ulterior motives will not destroy this hard-won opportunity.

Others might have objections, but for Dorian, at least, he was already happy with it. Anyway, there was hope of curing the curse, so he no longer expected anything else.

Verdu glanced at him and said calmly:
"You should put on your pants first."

Dorian looked down and his face suddenly froze. He said he felt a chill.
