Chapter 31 The Murals of Ourolius

Philina Odis, 24 years old, was born in Enmatt Port and believes in the Lord of Storms.

She was married twice...the first husband is unknown and remains to be investigated;

The second husband’s name was Charlie Otis, who was originally a professional manager and later worked for the shareholders of a small bank to manage their finances.

Philina followed her second husband to Backlund in May 1349 and rented a three-story house on Leinster Street in the south area of ​​the bridge.

Since Charlie Otis's employer's business involves laundering money for gangs, as a financial director, Charlie unfortunately encountered a gang fight when he went to the East District to negotiate with clients, and he was hit by a stray bullet and died.

Mrs. Felina's life was not troubled by the death of her husband... For some unknown reason, she had been buying life insurance for her husband after they got married, and thus received a large amount of compensation.

The insurance company hired detectives to conduct a private investigation and confirmed that Charlie Otis's death was an accident and there was no trace of human intervention.

It is worth mentioning that there are rumors that Charlie Otis was initially a handsome but idle liar when he was in Port Enmat. However, after meeting Felina, he changed his past and studied hard. He obtained the manager's certificate and was appreciated by the shareholders of that small bank.

Seeing this, Abner pinched his chin thoughtfully and thought to himself:

"Knowledge changes destiny... If Felina is really the one among the five survivors who is dominated by the pollution of the 'Knowledge Wilderness'... then, is this a side effect of the 'pollution'?

"Oh, he completed the transition from gangster to manager in such a short period of time. This is not so much 'learning', but more likely that Felina directly gave him this 'knowledge'.

"Just like Bianca can infect people with bad luck, and Abby can give people a painful curse, Felina's special ability is actually giving her knowledge to others, and then deflecting or changing the other person's fate?

"Judging from her actions of buying insurance, the deflected or changed fate may not lead to a good outcome."

While his thoughts were spinning, Abner continued to read the following content, and finally saw a familiar name: Stewart.

"This 'Secret Master' of the Church of Storms seems to be pursuing Felina? Not only does he help her open a museum and exhibit her collections, but he also lets his newspaper advertise for free?

"Well...Ms. Felina's luck is very bad. There is help wherever she goes. Even the people hired by the insurance company to attack her were either exposed to the police inexplicably or died in a car accident on the road. …

"Would Stuart be unaware of such an abnormal situation? Could it be that he is obsessed with sex?"

Abner was very puzzled. He had never actually met Stuart, but he had heard about this gentleman's reputation from many channels... although that reputation was very bad... or even worse than his own!

If Abner's reputation is still more positive than negative, which is enviable, Stewart's reputation is mostly negative. There are even rumors that he is indifferent to men and women and has an affair with a senior deacon of the Church of Steam...

But even if the rumors were true, Abner didn't believe that a "secret instructor" would really ignore Felina's problems... There must be some inside story.

With a sigh, Abner turned his attention to the last few lines of the information and saw that it briefly stated that Philina encountered a traffic jam on Wednesday, failed to arrive at the museum as planned, and had a talk with Stuart in the evening. Take a trip.

“Is it ‘lucky’ again?

"Is she hiding from me, or from the 'Red Gloves'... or even the 'Tail Eater' Ourolius in the original novel who will investigate people with abnormal luck in the near future?

"Is this kind of 'lucky' special to her...or is she an extraordinary person with the ability in this area...

"The lucky one? The winner?

"The 'Wheel of Fortune' path is in the hands of the 'School of Life'... It seems there is one more reason to visit that little snake!"

Thinking of this, Abner put away the information, looked at Detective Kaslana opposite who had finished breakfast, and said with a smile: "I am very satisfied with the information you collected... This is the promised reward."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope and handed it to the other party, which contained ten 10-pound notes.

Originally, it wouldn't take that much to investigate such a thing, but because of the time limit, Abner increased the price when issuing the task.

After taking it, Detective Kaslana counted the envelopes and put them away with satisfaction - for this commission, she had really tried her best and mobilized all her connections so that it could be completed on time, but such a generous reward was not enough. It's worth it.

After that, Abner said goodbye to Detective Kaslana, who was already quite trapped, and left the restaurant alone.

…

The sea area of ​​​​the ruins of the divine war.

As the "dark night" came, Klein had to follow the advice of the "Star Admiral", return to his room, and enter the dreamland through "meditation" to avoid disappearing without a trace in the "darkness".

In the gray world, he suddenly woke up and clearly realized that he was dreaming.

Klein looked around, and then discovered that on the top of the boulder not far away, "Star Admiral" Cattleya was sitting there alone, holding her knees with her hands, leaning forward, staring at the mountain opposite.

She was still wearing the mysterious classic black robe, with an expression of indescribable confusion.

Why is she in my dream? Klein took a few steps forward and jumped onto the boulder.

Before he could ask, he was suddenly shocked by the suddenly open scene in front of him, and he felt like he was being shaken both physically and mentally.

In front of the boulder is a cliff whose bottom cannot be seen, and on the opposite side of the cliff is a mountain peak covered with countless palaces, countless towers and majestic city walls.

Those buildings are majestic and gorgeous, layered and surrounded. They are extremely huge individually, unlike a place where humans live. When combined together, they have an indescribable sense of epic, miracle and myth.

In the sky between the cliffs and countless palaces, there is a huge inverted mountain floating quietly. There are many unique buildings on it, and the central tower reaches straight into the sky, as if it is touching the extremely high mountains. sun!

"Floating City"!

Except that there are no rails or supports, this "floating city" is exactly the same as the one built by Mr. Kraus.

Is this the prototype of the floating city? It was also here that Mr. Claus saw the city and came up with the idea of ​​recreating it?

According to the information given by Mr. "Tower", this should be the common dream of everyone in this sea area... Then whose dream is this floating city?

At this moment, Cattleya, who was sitting hugging her knees, said in a tone as if she was dreaming: "It's strange... I didn't see this floating city when I came here with her...

"Only Klaus has seen it before...

"She said it could be Klaus having something to do with the builders of the floating city.

"She should have had her own guesses but never told me."

she? The "Queen of Mystery"? The builder of the floating city is most likely Liu Bo... Is it because I joined this expedition that I saw it?

In addition, could Master Klaus be a descendant of Liu Bo in some life? Is that why I got the inheritance in this dream?

With this thought in his mind, Klein considered the suggestion to explore around.

"I won't go." Cattleya replied without hesitation, but she never shook her head, "I want to wait here, wait!"

Seeing this, Klein, who guessed that Cattleya was in a half-asleep state, no longer delayed, jumped off the boulder alone, and entered the gate of a black monastery.

Although he also wanted to explore the floating city, the opponent was floating high in the sky. It looked very close, but in fact it was very far away... and there might be something terrifying hidden in the sky. Klein did not dare to fly rashly.

Soon, after passing Frank, Heath Doyle, Nina, Navigator Ottolov and others, he saw a young man chopping a long giant log.

The man was wearing a white shirt and a black vest, with short blond hair in a three-part length, and green eyes that were focused and serious. He was not any pirate on the ship.

There is a mural not far from the man. The mural is a sea of ​​burning flames. It separates from the middle and creates a road.

There was a long procession on the road, with members bowing their heads or kneeling on the ground, appearing extremely pious.

And at the end of the road, above the looming palace complex, there is a floating inverted mountain peak!

Their leader, a tall and thin man with long silver hair, soft features, closed eyes, and layers of wings behind his back, was raising his hand and pointing directly at the floating mountain peak.

Klein knew the leader on the mural, which was the "Angel of Destiny", the "Tail Swallower", and Ouroleus that the little "Sun" had displayed!

What does it mean? Did the team led by Ourolius meet Liu Bo's floating city?

Could it be that the fall of the Floating City was the work of this "Angel of Destiny"? !

The King of Angels of Destiny Path...is it bad luck?

As his mind was spinning, Klein asked the young man holding the ax:

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? I am the unlucky Anderson. Ever since I saw that mural, I have been shrouded in bad luck." The young man stopped what he was doing and said depressedly.

…

Backlund, Abner, who came to visit "Mercury Snake" Will, walked around Dr. Alan Kress's house several times, but couldn't find a suitable excuse to visit.

In the end, he had no choice but to use one of his special skills - sneaking in.

However, as soon as he had this idea, he felt the power of "dream" attacking him.

Abner's heart moved, and he did not resist, allowing the scenery in front of him to change...

Soon, he saw a barren black plain and a dark spire in the center of the plain.

At this time, a black stroller slid out of the minaret, and inside lay an indistinguishable baby wrapped in silver silk.

The baby said in a clear but helpless voice:

"Are you afraid that the stupid snake can't find us when you come to see me at this time?"
