Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

"Little Ilowen, you have to take good care of human cubs! Look at her face, the little apple has turned into a dried apple! Her complexion is terrible, and her origin aura is also very weak. It seems that the origin core is quite empty. And her eyes, haven't they been overused again?!"

In the infirmary, Xi Sui'an sat obediently on the chair, allowing Professor Agatha to hold his face and look left and right while scolding Iloven.

Iloven, who was standing on the side, leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and rolled his eyes expressionlessly.

Who doesn’t have some problems when living in a foreign land? Xi Sui’an didn’t lose any limbs, nor did he suffer from a life-threatening condition like Thorin. It was just Agatha’s occupational disease that was causing the problem!

Xi Sui'an took the medicine bottle handed over by Professor Agatha, poured out the round pill inside and threw it into her mouth. The sixth-level pill melted in her mouth, and its medicinal effect moisturized her internal organs very gently. Her slightly stagnant original power finally flowed normally.

"Thank you, Professor Agatha." She thanked him sincerely.

Agatha took off the white gloves on her hands, tucked the fallen hair behind her ears, sighed, and her gentle eyes were full of helplessness: "You little guys... Alas."

Hearing Agatha sigh, Xi Sui'an hesitated and said, "Professor, Zhong Heng..."

Agatha smiled bitterly, "It's not easy for me to leave the academy right now. I can only issue a bounty order. Keshia is not a concern. Carlisle Nolan is more like a mercenary than the Oathbearer. He is only doing missions for the sake of missions. He probably won't do anything extra to Zhong Heng."

"Also, I can't solve his problems perfectly. If Mu Qianji is interested in him enough, he should live well. Who knows, Mu Qianji will study him and let Zhongheng and his brother be relieved."

Xi Sui'an pondered for a while and said, "Do you know where the headquarters of the Eternal Oath is?"

Agatha shook her head, a look of worry flashing across her gentle face: "I don't know." Since she came to the academy, she has not been involved in many things in the foreign land. After all, the Oath Keepers basically did not dare to provoke the academy before, so she naturally did not deal with many things related to the Oath Keepers.

Except for Carlisle Nolan back then.

She lost herself in memories for a moment and then said, "Go ask Peregrine and Qingshu, they might know. Sorry, child, I can't spare any more energy right now."

Iloven raised his eyebrows: "You are just planting flowers and grass, what else is worth your effort?"

Agatha hesitated, glanced at Xi Sui'an and sighed: "Forget it, everyone will know it anyway."

She snapped her fingers, and then the vines of the nightshade flowers in the room crawled on the wall like living things, forming a deep archway with layers of steps extending downwards.

"You guys come with me."

She lifted up her long skirt and entered first.

Xi Sui'an was very surprised. It turned out that there were small spaces everywhere in the academy. There were many bigwigs in the academy, and there were many secret places opened up. To put it bluntly, they were small secret realms for students to explore.

She looked at Iloven, who was also curious: "Let's go down and take a look."

The soft light of the velvet flowers illuminated the path under their feet, and they seemed to have walked into a magical and beautiful rabbit hole.

A small wooden house wrapped in green vines, covered with flowers of various colors, and the leaves of the Dreamweaver Tree from the Elf Forest were laid in front of the house. It was truly a forest house.

It is refreshing at first glance and has a healing effect on the soul.

As soon as they approached the wooden house, the door was pushed open from the inside out, and the corner of the red clothes was very obvious.

"Ye Qiu Sheng?" Why is he here?

Xi Sui'an had some doubts in his heart.

Ye Qiusheng looked tired. He pressed his temples and nodded to Xi Sui'an and Yi Luowen as a greeting. Then he said to Professor Agatha in front of him, "The situation is not good now. Professor Agatha, the treatment effect here is getting weaker and weaker."

Agatha patted Ye Qiu Sheng's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Qiu Sheng." She waved to them and then they entered the wooden house together.

Xi Sui'an saw everything in the room clearly, her calm expression suddenly shattered, and she hurried forward.

"Li Chu?! Seren Argerich?! What happened to them?!"

Her expression was blank for a moment, and then there was a look of disbelief and astonishment.

Not far ahead, a huge water ball was suspended in the air. A girl with black hair and white clothes was curled up quietly inside it, falling into an unknown sleep without a sound.

On the other side, the chained young man had silver hair that had grown to his ankles. His eyes, which were originally like rubies, had become mottled and dim, and his gaze was slightly unfocused. His upper body was exposed, and dark lines started from his arms and gradually covered his chest.

She just attended a trade fair, so why did all her friends get into trouble after she came back?

She already knew that Zhong Heng was taken away by the Eternal Oath, and it was unlikely that Seren Argerich would be rescued unharmed, so she could still accept his situation, but Li Qing, how could she get into trouble in the academy? !

She looked at Professor Agatha and Ye Qiusheng, took a deep breath and stayed calm: "Professor Agatha, Senior Ye Qiusheng, what's going on with them?"

Ye Qiu said succinctly: "The pattern of curse."

Before Xi Sui'an could figure out what the curse mark was, Yi Luowen's face changed first: "Curse mark?!"

Agatha nodded slightly: "Yes."

Xi Sui'an looked at Ilowen. Ilowen noticed that she was a little confused, and said in a bad tone: "Legend has it that when the gods were prosperous, there were giants in the Asgard, but they were later killed by the gods there. Later, during the war between gods, I don't know which smart god extracted some strange power from the dead giants and put it into alchemy, and finally created the curse pattern.

"This rune is essentially a curse. Once planted, its greatest effect is distortion and killing. On the one hand, it will erode the marked person's power to strengthen itself, and the marked person will gradually lose control. At the same time, their mental will will be distorted, and then they will fall into a state of chaos and disorder. Most importantly, once the curse pattern penetrates into the opponent's origin core, it will trigger the killing curse, and then they will fall directly."

"This thing is like an indiscriminate source of infection. It will work on everyone, from gods to all races, regardless of their rank. So it was banned by the gods very early on. However, it appeared in the wars of gods in the later period, and many gods perished. It did not appear during the Age of Strife, probably because most of those who knew how to use it were dead."

He pulled the corners of his mouth, without a smile: "Mu Qianji actually used this... This is really bad news."

Agatha was also very worried: "You are right. I have already informed the head of the Argerich family, Duke Mel, and he replied that he asked me to take care of it first and come over after he kills Duke Yurik of the Drakov family."

"I don't know much about the curse mark. At the moment, I can only contain it, but I can't solve it." She looked at Iloven, "Alchemy and alchemy have always been inseparable. What do you think?"

Ilowen's face became serious: "I will find a way to lock his time." To buy more time for thinking, he turned around and asked Feng Liting. He was walking on the edge of taboo and might know more than himself.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Agatha breathed a sigh of relief.

——————————————————————————————————————

Xi Sui'an knew that Seren was fine for the time being. She breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the huge water ball suspended in the air, and whispered, "What about Li Chu? What happened to her?"

Agatha hesitated but said, "She was summoned to the forbidden library of the academy. Not only did the Eye of Prophecy become active, but its prophetic power increased several times, causing her to see too many destinies that she shouldn't have seen, causing her to lose a lot of vitality. Catherine and I forced her to sleep and seal the Eye of Prophecy. We are trying to weaken the power of the Eye of Prophecy to a suitable range so that it can adapt to Li Chu's body and soul."

"Don't worry, with Catherine and I here, she won't die. Once everything is coordinated, she will wake up." Agatha patted Xi Sui'an on the shoulder and comforted him softly. She knew that Xi Sui'an in front of her and the sleeping Li Chu were both human beings and good friends.

Xi Sui'an nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is the Forbidden Library?" She grasped the key point of Agatha's words. What is this place? Why was Li Chu summoned and the power of the Eye of Prophecy enhanced?

Ye Qiusheng glanced at her and said calmly: "This is not something you should know."

Xi Sui'an was stunned for a moment, then he became furious: "My friend is on the brink of life and death for no apparent reason, can't I just want to know the culprit?!"

Ye Qiusheng shook his head: "You..."

"Qiu Sheng, stop talking about you!" Yi Luowen interrupted him with a headache. This kid is too straightforward. It really pissed off Xi Sui'an. She might chase Ye Qiu Sheng thousands of miles away!

"Although we can't say it on the surface, many people know this." Iloven sighed, "The Forbidden Library was originally a section of the library, which contains a huge part of the forbidden books from the God Falling Era to the present, all of which are about various forbidden methods of alchemy, origin magic and divination.

"When Dean Colin was in office, something happened. A student of the academy stole a forbidden book and became a forbidden alchemist. Fortunately, the book was quickly recovered by Colin, and the student was killed on the spot, so no greater disaster occurred.

"After this incident, Colin learned his lesson and opened a special taboo library in the library, and then stored all the taboo books in it. From then on, only the professors and deans of the college were allowed to read in it, and students were no longer qualified to enter."

Xi Sui'an suppressed his emotions and pondered over Yi Luowen's words.

"Is the Forbidden Library alive? Why would it summon her?" And why did it summon her?

Iloven paused and said, "Maybe. Don't worry too much, Catherine and Agatha will make her better." As he said that, he also wanted to sigh. Zhu Jun thought highly of this junior who ended up in such a state in the academy. He wondered if she would be unhappy?

Xi Sui'an heard Yi Luowen's evasiveness and stood there in silence for a few breaths: "What can I do for them?"

Ilowen rubbed his wrist and said to her, "You'd better do something for me. I'll refine something tomorrow and you come and do odd jobs for me." Whether it was Seren's curse mark or the sudden overload of the Eye of Prophecy that almost caused Li Chu to collapse, these were not things Xi Sui'an could handle. Even they felt these were a bit tricky.

"...Oh." Xi Sui'an responded, turned around and walked to the water ball, looked at Li Chu for a few seconds, and whispered: "Have a good rest first, and tell me what you saw when you wake up."

The girl in the water ball still had her eyes closed and lay motionless, with a serene expression, like an unborn baby.

She told Professor Agatha to come visit often, and then followed Iloven out of the infirmary.

Ye Qiusheng also came out. He looked at Xi Sui'an and after a moment's hesitation asked, "Did you send Peggy to find out about the Rosicrucian Society?"

Xi Sui'an paused and almost forgot who Peggy was: "Peggy? Oh, that fluttering moth, what happened?" Could it be that Peggy got into trouble and Ye Qiu Sheng came to her to cause trouble?

Ye Qiusheng thought for a moment and organized his words: "He is trying to find a way out from Carlos. I just happened to tell you when I saw him."

"What do you want to tell me?" It's quite a coincidence that these two met each other.

He said with a wooden face: "Prepare some crystal coins and currency from the human world for him, and he will come to you for more later in case of emergency." As for the original words about the big sponsor, it is better to filter them out.

After saying that, he headed towards the ancient banyan tree.

“???” You want crystal coins, and you also want the currency of the human world?

She was suddenly shocked. They wanted the currency of the human world... that meant the Rose Cross Society might still be active in the human world? !

After Xi Sui'an digested the news, she looked up and found that Yi Luowen had also run away, leaving her alone in a daze.

She scratched her hair, feeling deeply worried. She lowered her head and took out the communicator which she had hardly turned on. She wanted to ask Li Qing for some news first. If that didn't work, she would ask Ye Qiu Sheng, that dogmatic guy.

The academy forum was still bustling with activity. She was silent for two seconds when she saw Professor Agatha's bounty order, then switched to Li Qing's communication. She sent three messages but received no reply.

She was puzzled and went to play Li Qing's assistant Kelly.

"Where is Minister Eri now?"

Kelly replied immediately: "The minister has taken a hibernation leave and I don't know where he is sleeping. He said that if you have any questions, please come to me."

?! This fake is really approved?!

She held her forehead in silence: "I want to ask about Zhong Heng's affairs."

Kelly: "I know a little."

Xi Sui'an: "Where are you? Tell me in person."

Kailide: "There's a new Sunset Bar across the street from the Order Department!"

Xi Sui'an: "..."

She stared at the communicator and began to doubt her life. A newly opened... bar? For a moment, she couldn't imagine what kind of chaotic scene was going on inside.

She sighed and walked towards the college gate. If she was in a bad mood, she might as well have a drink.

Xi Sui'an thought about it and patted his shoulder: "Wake up, Chao Xi!"

"...Hmm?" After a long while, she finally got a response. A small, chubby octopus appeared on her shoulder. "What?"

Xi Sui'an patted it and said, "I'll take you for a drink." He also asked some questions, as Chao Xi might know some secrets about the safety of his companions.

Chao Xi's sleepy eyes suddenly brightened, and he recovered from his half-dead state to full of energy: "Okay! Come on! Let's go!"

Xi Sui'an raised his foot and walked towards the college gate alone.
