Chapter 433 Thorough Digestion

"I'm Slade, Slade Watts."

There was no expression on his face, only the 'Secret Puppet Master' who twitched occasionally responded like a machine.

Xifa continued to ask: "Slade, what are you doing here?"

"Treasure Map."

"Be more specific."

Slade frowned, seemingly resisting, but still said: "I'm tracking a treasure map related to the Antigonus family, and I suspect that the treasure map points to the Antigonus family. Somewhere in the family relic."

"So, I came to Sonia Island, to the small town of Gran."

This... This is really heavyweight news. This guy named Shrede is tracking the treasure map related to the Antigonus family. The treasure map in Cyril's hand is actually related to that mysterious family?

That old fox in Oswald didn't tell me anything, because he was worried that I would know that the treasure map was related to the Antigonus family, so he would have a different heart? What a cautious old fellow.

Tracking items related to the Antigonus family, and it's the 'Master of Puppets' again, and Slade is a member of the secret order?

Thinking of this, Xifa asked directly: "What is your relationship with the Secret Order?"

It took two seconds for Slade to respond: "I am a member of the Secret Order."

really

Xifa asked again: "Have you got the treasure map?"

Slade did not refuse this question, and immediately replied: "No."

"Did you kill Cyril? Why are you in his villa, why did you change into his appearance?"

Shrede struggled for a while before answering: "I didn't kill Cyril, I hired the gangsters in the town to cover up, and the 'White Bear Party' in Grand Town used to maintain the safety of the plantation as an excuse to send Cyril Such spice merchants charge a fee."

"Today I asked the 'White Bear Party' to charge Cyril for the same reason, but when I came, his servant told me that Cyril was not in the manor."

"I predicted that someone would come to visit Cyril today, and it was related to the treasure map, so I dealt with the servants in the manor and stayed in the villa as Cyril."

Hearing this, Sifa was slightly relieved. It seems that the people from the Antiquities Conservation Association are quite clever, and Cyril has not yet fallen into Slade's hands.

He asked again: "Haven't you divined the location of Cyril?"

Slade quickly responded: "I did the divination, but I can't see the revelation clearly. Cyril must have an anti-divination item in his hand, or someone is covering him and interfering with the divination directed at him."

Well, this is not surprising, there are a bunch of magical items in the Antiquities Association, and that treasure map is very important, Cyril cannot take it lightly.

At this time, Xifa found that Slade's figure began to overlap, and there were rumbling low noises all around, as if this space was about to collapse.

It seemed that Slade's resistance was intensifying, and he might wake up at any time. After all, this is the 'Secret Puppet Master' of Sequence 5, and he is a Beyonder of the Seer path. Even if he is forced to fall asleep, he may still find the correct way to escape from the dream in the dream.

Xifa hastily asked another question: "Do you know where I can find the mermaid?"

Now that Shrede has become the 'Master of Puppets', he must have taken the potion in the singing of the mermaid, that's why Xifa asked this question.

Slade gritted his teeth lightly, wanting to say something but didn't say it. After a while, he said: "Deep in the sea of ​​ruins"

He suddenly looked at Xifa, his eyes were full of doubts, as if wondering why Xifa was here.

Sifa immediately ended the channeling.

After being in a trance for a while, Xifa looked around and found that he had 'woke up'.

He looked at Slade on the ground suddenly, and saw his eyelids twitching, as if he was about to wake up immediately. Xifa immediately stretched out his hand to catch it, red surged, and a long spear with a white tip quickly condensed in his hand.

Xifa didn't hesitate anymore, and suddenly shot down. Just at this time, Slade opened his eyes, but his eyes were still in a state of confusion.

Sure enough, he found a way to escape in his dream, but it was too late. The fiery spear ignited his clothes, and the high-temperature spear tip easily pierced his heart, nailing the 'Secret Puppet Master' to the ground. on the ground.

boom!

The flame wave spread suddenly, then quickly contracted, converging into a pillar of fire, heading straight to the roof.

In the wooden house near the gate of the manor, members of the White Bear Party were talking loudly, drinking heavily, and had no idea what happened to the villa.

After the flames disappeared, Sifa controlled the flames and prevented them from spreading further. Then he opened the window to let the cold wind blow in and blow away the thick smoke, and only then did he see Slade's charred body.

On his corpse, a little illusory shimmer emerged, and after 10 minutes, a jelly-like Extraordinary characteristic was formed.

Xifa found an iron box in this junk room, and he put away the Extraordinary characteristics of the 'Secret Puppet Master'. Then he released the flame, and under his intentional urging, the fire was extremely fierce, but in the blink of an eye, the entire villa was ignited.

The flames and thick smoke from the villa can be clearly seen even in the small town of Gran.

Not long after, a team of police arrived at the 'Champagne Manor'. They woke up the members of the White Bear Party who were drunk in the cabin and forcibly ordered them to help fight the fire.

On the roof of an abandoned farmhouse not far from the manor, Sifa held on to the chimney and clearly saw what happened.

He set the fire just to attract the attention of the town police and the people of the Feysac Empire. In this way, even if Shrede still had companions on Sonia Island, he would not dare to act rashly.

Moreover, this fire was also shown to Cyril. He believed that Cyril should still be on Sonia Island and should have received the news.

If Cyril was smart enough, he would have deduced that the fire was set by the 'Duke', because the Secret Order had to act in secret and would never do such an eye-catching thing.

In that case, he doesn't have to go to Cyril, he just needs to wait for the spice merchant to contact him.

At the same time, Xifa clearly felt that he had completely digested the potion. Right after he killed Slade, right after he set fire to the villa, he got feedback, thoroughly digested two bottles of the 'Arsonist' potion!

"It's time for a promotion."

When Xifa walked out of the farmhouse, he had already taken off the mask of the "Traveler with a Thousand Faces" and quietly returned to the small town of Gran with his original appearance.

He found an unremarkable hotel in the town, opened a room, and bought a large iron pot.

Afterwards, he set up a simple altar, summoned the 'Spirit World Treasure Chest', and took out the Extraordinary characteristics of the 'Conspirator' and various auxiliary materials.

"let's start."

With some anticipation, some excitement, and some trepidation, Xifa first took out the 'sphinx blood' he got from the iceberg, and poured them into the iron pot
