Chapter 54
The latest website: "Magician" Forsi was not surprised that Mr. "World" made this request at this time, and replied a little nervously:
"Okay, okay.
"What kind of transaction is it?"
She has corresponded with her teacher Dorian Gray Abraham several times during this period, and she has made a lot of preparations under the guidance of Miss Justice.
"World" Klein said with a low hoarse smile:
"You don't need to tell him what I want for the time being, just give me my chips and see if he is interested."
"Your chip is still the promise to lift the curse of the Abraham family?" "Magician" Fors cautiously sought confirmation.
Klein nodded, pointed to "0-61" on the mottled long table and said:
"It can also be this 'Box of the Old Days'."
Things that need to be exchanged for "0"-level sealed items are definitely not simple... No matter "Justice" Audrey or "Hermit" Cattleya, they all suddenly came up with such a cognition.
"Magician" Forsi valued the promise to lift the curse more, because she had experienced it herself and knew how miserable the teacher's family was.
Without hesitation, she solemnly replied:
"OK."
…………
Backlund, West Borough, the basement of a house.
The "Dark Saint" Kesma hiding in the shadows suddenly grew out of the darkness.
He turned his head sideways, as if he was listening to something, his cheek muscles gradually twitched, not piece by piece, but little by little, they not only failed to connect with each other, but interfered with each other, which looked extremely weird.
That is, a few seconds later, Kesma showed an expression of extreme pain, the skin was torn inch by inch, and the blood and flesh wriggled like boiling, mixed with deep black.
With a plop, he fell to the ground, crawled towards the altar, and spat out a large amount of viscera and flickering light spots.
The head of this "Dark Saint" was firmly attached to the ground,
Constantly muttering to himself like crazy:
"Botis is actually dead...
"A 'mysterious mage' carrying a level '0' sealed item just died like this...
"There is a tarot card on the scene, 'The Hermit'...
"The two enemies involved are saints, one is a 'mysticist' and the other is a 'manipulator'...
"Using tarot cards as the code name, an organization that believes in 'The Fool'...
"Gehrman Sparrow... Azik Eggers...
"..."
After whispering uncontrollably, "Dark Saint" Kesma shed tears angrily and painfully:
"I repent, I repent, I repent..."
…………
A few days later, in a certain room in an apartment in Pritz Harbor.
Dorian Gray Abraham, who had disguised himself, received a letter from student Fors.
He checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem and no unusual signs, he picked up the letter opener and took out the letter inside.
The beginning of this letter is a greeting as usual, and next, Forsi wrote straightforwardly:
"...We have killed Botis the 'Saint of Secrets' and obtained the items on his body..."
... Dorian, who was going to browse through it first, was suddenly stuck on this sentence, read it back and forth several times, and forgot to read on.
Dorian has a deep understanding of how strong Botis is, and knows how terrifying a "mysterious mage" is.
But now, the new student he had taught for more than a year told him in a very flat tone that Botis had already been dealt with.
All of a sudden, Dorian's mind was full of thoughts such as "impossible", "lie", "conspiracy", etc., wondering if Forsi had been controlled by Botis and the Aurora Society.
In any major force, the Extraordinary of Sequence 4 is an absolute high-level member and a very important member. How could they be killed so easily!
Dorian's Adam's apple twitched, and he forcibly restrained his attention, continuing to read the contents of the letter:
"...We got the 'Box of the Old Days', I think you should be familiar with it..."
After reading another line, Dorian's eyelids twitched a few times, and he felt that the letter paper in his hand was as heavy as a boulder.
Of course, he is no stranger to the "Box of the Old Days". This is the "0" level sealed item of the Abraham family, and it is the proof of their past glory.
"...The one who was killed was Botis holding the 'Box of the Old Days'..." Dorian became more astonished, feeling that the matter was beyond his imagination, and at the same time felt inexplicably that maybe it was not impossible, maybe it was true. It was actually the "Old Box" that killed Botis.
He is very clear about how dangerous that "0" level sealed item is!
At the same time, he finally noticed a word:
"us".
This is the first time Fors has shown that she has companions and collaborators.
Of course, Dorian had guessed something a long time ago, but he tacitly didn't reveal it.
Sure enough... Dorian sighed and couldn't wait to read the following content:
"...The action against Botis this time is because a friend of mine wants to show you kindness. He said that he is willing to use the 'Box of the Old Days' or promise to lift the curse of the Abraham family to reach a deal with you. I don't know if you are interested? He doesn't know where you are, and I won't tell him, you can refuse..."
A promise to lift the curse? Dorian skipped over "The Box of Old Days" and chewed on a passage that was extremely important to him.
After the previous several correspondences, he had fully understood the essence of the family curse. He was both sad and helpless, and there was a glimmer of hope brewing in the pain.
Before that, who would have thought that it was their ancestors' cries for help that made generations of descendants of the Abraham family lose control?
It's like a bad joke from fate.
Dorian didn't know whether Mr. "Gate" understood the consequences of him, and he didn't know how to describe his complicated feelings, but he couldn't help but began to look for a way to get Mr. "Gate" back and completely lift the family curse.
This is an extremely hopeless path, but for the Abraham family, it is enough, because there is finally a light in the darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, Dorian folded the letter paper, smiled wryly and said to himself:
"Friendly... this kind of friendliness is really scary..."
After talking to himself, he fell into silence again, the expression on his face was cloudy and sunny, and his heart seemed to be extremely struggling.
when!
The sound of the wall clock rang on time, and Dorian was awakened suddenly.
His expression gradually became serious, and he finally made up his mind.
After making up his mind, Dorian felt a lot more relaxed, and even had a little smile on his face.
He first burned Forsi's letter, then simply packed his bags and went straight out to the steam train site in Pritz Harbor.
He is going to South Wales, but not to escape, but to make some preparations.
He planned to hand over the family items and potion formulas he kept to a family member who settled there, and then return to Pulitzer Harbor, and go to Backlund as Dorian Gray to meet his student Forsi, Meet the strong man who shows kindness.
At that time, he will take a potion in advance to allow himself to bear the strong curse rooted in the spirit body, and he must take another potion regularly and quantitatively to maintain his life. In this way, even if he is controlled and unable to commit suicide, he can still die. Because there is no chance to take the medicine and die soon, with the disappearance of the spirit body, the key information will not be leaked.
For this "journey", for Dorian, life and death are no longer on his mind.
For that vague hope, he was willing to give his life.
…………
Backlund, North District, underground of Saint Samuel Church.
Leonard, who had just held a case discussion meeting with "Punisher", "Mechanical Heart", and members of MI9, returned to his office and sat down.
At this moment, Pallez Zoroaster's slightly aged voice echoed in his mind:
"They finally found the specific location of Jacob's family treasure, and they are about to enter."
"Huh?" Leonard was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
At the previous gathering of the "hermits of destiny", he sold the news of Jacob's treasure, because no one knew what was inside, and no one was willing to charge a high price, and Leonard's main purpose was not to trade, so, Only a few rare spirits were exchanged.
He immediately lowered his voice and said:
"Old man, how do you know?"
"Oh, of course I have sent a clone to monitor there." Pales Zarathustra replied angrily, "Are you underestimating an angel from the 'Thief' pathway?"
Leonard laughed twice:
"Old man, you are recovering well, you have spare clones."
"I'm already at the second level of Sequence." Pallez Zoroast said with a "huh", "Next, don't go out, just stay inside the church to prevent accidents from happening."
"Are you worried that there will be traps in that treasure?" Leonard asked thoughtfully.
"How can there be no trap for the treasure left by a 'thief' angel?" Pales Zarathustra sneered. safe."
Leonard nodded, and said in a low voice:
"I hope everything goes well, old man, you promised me that if you can successfully obtain the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 2, you will steal me a '1' level sealed item from the items they got."
He didn't care about whether he had gained anything, but mainly used this method to relieve his sudden nervousness.
"Don't you reject the term 'stealing'?" Pallez laughed and fell silent, as if he was concentrating on monitoring the situation at Jacob's treasure.
About an hour later, He let out a long sigh of relief in Leonard's mind:
"Although there were many traps and many accidents, the expected goal was achieved in the end, hehe, I only took that feature and one sealed item, and the rest was their reward.
"Don't leave here in a hurry, wait for me to absorb that characteristic before leaving, then there will be no problem."
Leonard immediately relaxed, leaned back, crossed his legs, and read the newspaper leisurely.
In the evening, Pales Zarathustra finally spoke again:
"All right."
His voice contained many emotions, but because it was too complicated, Leonard couldn't distinguish it.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, and the old man might still have to digest, Leonard stood up, rubbed his forehead, left St. Samuel's Church, and returned to No. 7 Pinster Street.
As soon as he passed the porch, he suddenly saw someone sitting on the sofa.
The man was wearing a classic black robe and a soft pointed hat, with his right foot resting on his left leg, and he was leisurely reading a newspaper.
As if sensing Leonard's entry, the man raised his head, straightened the monocle on his right eye, and showed a playful smile.
