Mystery: A Spark

"That's such a shame. So, have you found a place you like? Do you need my help?" Leonard sighed softly, then asked with concern.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Leonard, but I have already found a place where I am quite comfortable."

"Oh? What's that nice place? I'll go check it out when I have time."

"That place is called the Church of St. Serena."

Leonard watched the blond youth walk away with a serious expression until he could no longer see him.

His green eyes darkened slightly as he turned and strode back to Blackthorn Security Company.

Seeing Leonard return, the brown-haired girl Rosanne asked him, somewhat puzzled:

"Mr. Leonard, why are you back again?"

Leonard walked quickly past her, leaving her with only one sentence:

"I forgot something, so I came back to get it."

Rosanne frowned and muttered under her breath:

"What's in such a hurry? Are you starting to become as forgetful as the captain?"

Leonard arrived at the underground crossroads, hesitated for a moment, and instead of going to find the captain first, he turned left and headed towards the Church of St. Serena.

Upon arriving at the confessional, Leonard greeted the bishop and indicated that he would be temporarily using the confessional.

After the bishop left, Leonard set up a spiritual wall in the confessional.

After doing all this, he opened his right hand, which he had been tightly clenching, and in his hand was a small piece of paper covered with writing.

Leonard quickly read the contents of the note, his face darkening as if it were about to drip water.

He pursed his lips, remaining silent for a long time before softly asking:

Could it be true?

An aged voice entered his ears:

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

……

Meanwhile, the blond youth Arthur returned to the house he had rented on Zotland Street.

This is a detached house, which he rented for a month.

The homeowner originally only accepted long-term rentals because it would give him a more stable rental income.

But after Arthur promised to pay an extra pound of rent each week, the homeowner gladly rented the house to him.

As soon as Arthur entered, he saw a white shadow rushing towards him.

Following that was a childish voice, feigning fierceness:

"Ugh! I'm going to eat this!"

Seeing this, Arthur, who was already prepared, scooped the white figure into his arms.

Then, he said viciously:

"You little brat, trying to rebel?"

The white figure didn't struggle after he pulled it into his arms, but instead muttered:

"Oh dear, I'm not a little brat."

"Then what are you?"

"Of course I'm a puppy."

In Arthur's arms, Arthas said with an expression that said, "How can you not even tell the difference between a dog and a rabbit?"

Arthur:......

Just over ten days ago, this little thing was a cute little pet that couldn't even speak and only knew how to whine.

Now this guy can argue with him.

Previously on the Future, when Arthur was choosing the Extraordinary Path for Arthas, he struggled between "The Reader" and "The Apprentice".

In Sequence Six, the "Reader" can use analytical abilities to learn extraordinary abilities through other means.

The same applies to apprentices; Sequence Six recorders can also record the extraordinary abilities released by others.

Moreover, the recorder was called the Great Shepherd, and the shepherd was called the Lesser Recorder.

This is especially true for those with strong technical skills or those who have powerful connections and extraordinary resources.

Arthur was initially hesitant between these two extraordinary paths, but a single sentence from Bernadette gave him a sudden insight.

“I think for someone like you, the stronger your ability to escape should be,” Huang Beibei said.

Arthur... couldn't refute it at all.

Indeed, how could someone as prone to courting death as him not have the support of extraordinary individuals through various channels?

Kel'Thuzad has Miss Salty Fish, and Arthur has Arthas.

So, during a tarot gathering later, Arthur made a request to Miss Justice, asking her to help collect the apprentices' potion recipes.

Because she had inquired about the apprenticeship path at a tarot meeting before, there was no problem with this request.

Of course, with Miss Justice setting such a precedent, the other members could easily guess that Arthur wanted to raise an extraordinary pet.

Chapter 65 Actor

In fact, the original owner of Arthur's body and Fors were acquainted.

After all, one is a writer and the other is a painter, both of whom are cultural workers, and they had some contact in previous years.

Therefore, Arthur could also go to Fors to buy the apprentice recipe himself.

However, because he had previously helped Miss Justice answer her questions, he received a promise of a reward of six hundred pounds.

To save himself trouble, Arthur asked Miss Justice to help him collect potion recipes, with the cost to be deducted from the 600 pounds that had not yet been delivered.

Interestingly, after Audrey bought the apprentice recipe from Fors out of curiosity, she discovered that she actually had the two main ingredients required for the recipe in her own warehouse.

While marveling at Miss Justice's wealth, Arthur simply traded the 600 pounds for the apprentice recipe and the corresponding two main ingredients.

However, since Source Castle Logistics is not yet online, at Arthur's request, Audrey hid the formula and materials somewhere.

It's worth mentioning that while on the Future, Arthur also bought some deep-sea marlin blood from Huang Jiajia.

This is one of the main materials required for Arthas to be promoted to Sequence 8 Trick Master.

As for the Soul Eater's stomach, we'll have to wait until Little Sun joins the Tarot Club before we can figure out how to get it from him.

After Arthur returned to Backlund, he first went to the Harvest Church to visit his fellow Bishop Utravsky, a fellow chosen one.

Then he sent Arthas to retrieve Audrey's apprentice recipe and main ingredients, which she had hidden somewhere.

After all, this little guy can travel through the spirit world, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, and has a strong sense of secrecy.

As for the auxiliary materials, Arthur had already collected them all.

After Arthas's successful ascension, Arthur went to Tingen alone and summoned Arthas.

The first thing he did upon arriving in Tingen was to go to the Church of St. Serena and offer a prayer, as if to pay homage to the local bigwig.

After all, how can you cause trouble on someone else's turf without giving them a heads-up?

After exchanging greetings, Arthur spent a few more days cautiously probing the waters.

As expected, this did not elicit any response from Ince Zangwell.

Because he learned something from Huang Beibei when he was on the Future.

That is, she received no information from any of her observations and divinations about Arthur.

It was as if some force had concealed all the information about Arthur.

This is precisely what Arthur relied on to dare to come to Tingen and cause trouble.

What he didn't know was that his previous act of deliberately hanging around in front of Klein in order to test Ince Zangwill had terrified the young Klein.

Klein never expected that he would see his fellow countrymen, who should have been at sea, in Tingen City.

The moment he saw Arthur, he thought he had given himself away at the tarot meeting, only to be tracked down by his fellow villager through the internet.

Fortunately, in subsequent encounters, Klein confirmed that it was just a chance meeting, which put his mind at ease.

Incidentally, due to the immense pressure of knowing about the mastermind beforehand, Klein had fully digested the potion several days ago through his diligent performance.

So he quickly submitted his application to Captain Dunn and passed the examination of Lady Kreste Cecima, the "Sword of the Goddess" who had come from headquarters two days earlier, and was successfully promoted to Sequence Eight, "The Clown".

The fact that his personal information is concealed by some force is one of Arthur's advantages.

However, when he causes trouble, he inevitably leaves traces.

However, considering that the traitorous quill pen had the characteristic of harming its owner, Arthur was not actually worried about being exposed.

The main problem he's currently fretting about is actually the problem of Alsace.

Before becoming an apprentice, Arthas was originally a cute and adorable little dog.

Whenever Arthur gets bored, he picks it up and cuddles it, at which point the little guy struggles to run away.

But after a while, it will stroll back and run back to Arthur's side to snuggle up to him.

After being promoted to apprentice a few days ago, Arthur began to teach it in order to help it perform the role.

However, a problem arose at this point.

That is, the little thing has become much lazier. As soon as Arthur starts lecturing, it becomes distracted and starts yawning.

Otherwise, it will start running around the house like a parkour animal; it's simply impossible to get it to stay still and listen to a lecture.

"Little darling, can't you just listen to the lesson properly for once?"

Arthur entered the study, placed Arthas on the desk, and said with a hint of helplessness, hands on his hips.

"Ah~ I'm dead......"

Upon hearing his words, Arthas slumped onto the desk, his limbs hanging limply, his tongue lolling out of his mouth, looking like a dog that had died and needed no further help.
