Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 129: Forsi's Dream

Hearing the middle-aged man's cry and seeing his distorted expression, Hazel's eyes that were originally full of anger and hatred gradually froze, melting into a little daze and confusion.

Not only her, Councilor Macht, Mrs. Liana, and Dawn Dantès next to him also fell silent, and no one spoke for a while. Even Forsi, who was hiding behind the cover, lost the excitement just now. , no longer have a strong sense of justice.

After about ten seconds, Macht stopped looking at the attacker, turned his head, and said to his bodyguard:

"Leave one of you here, guard the scene and the prisoners, and wait for the police to come."

Having said that, he paused for a second, then turned to his personal servant and said:

"Inform reporters from several newspapers to come and cover this matter."

After the initial handling, the Member of the House of Representatives looked around and found that many passers-by were trying to gather over to see what happened, so he looked at Dwayne Dantès, smiled apologetically and said:

"I'm sorry to let you go through such a dangerous situation. I never thought that things would develop to such an extent. We actually considered the actual situation of factory owners and coal mine owners and gave some help and transitional plans. Who knows ..."

Formulating a plan is one thing, and implementing it is another. When the control of air pollution becomes extremely urgent and all parties are under great pressure, it is no surprise that "one size fits all" appears... Klein Sighing, he laughed at himself:

"Don't take my feelings too seriously, I've been in more dangerous situations than this in the past."

On the surface, he was talking about what happened to him when he was doing business in West Balam on the Southern Continent, but actually he recalled Megose who gave birth to the offspring of the evil god, the terrifying meteorite that fell from the sky, and Cynthia who wanted to give birth to Admiral Amyrius. Angels of the Rose School and monsters of the Spiritual Order that caused the collapse of the mountain outside Bayam City.

Compared to these, what happened just now is like a drop of drizzle falling in mid-air, and there is no need to care about it at all. Considering the existence of Hugh, the two bodyguards of Miss "Magician" and Hazel, Klein didn't even make a move, just I did the normal dodge of an experienced person.

The focus of his attention is whether this will continue a "torrential rain".

Macht sighed and nodded:

"I can tell you're very calm.

"I used to be a little skeptical about the experiences you said, but now I really believe it.

"Okay, Dawn, let's go back separately, and leave the rest to the police. If it is necessary to take a statement, they will come to your house to complete it."

Klein nodded, and said to the Macht family:

"You pay attention to the follow-up safety."

Councilor Macht solemnly nodded, and sighed again:

"Becklund's social season just kicked off, and this happened... Cherish the peace now."

Backlund's social season is marked by the return of noble members of the House of Lords. It seems that it only started last weekend... But this week, two incidents have occurred in a row, the frame-up of Baron Syndras, and the attack on Councilor Macht... Thoughts abound,

Klein didn't stop, and walked towards his carriage with Richardson, the valet who was obviously a little scared.

Sitting on it, watching the scenery outside the window slowly receding, Klein let out a silent breath and half closed his eyes.

For the time being, he has no way of judging whether extraordinary power is involved in this attack, because every link can be done and completed by ordinary people, and the middle-aged man's reason is also sufficient - there is no need to deliberately fake it, Klein I believe that in the current Backlund, there is not only one former factory owner or unemployed employee who has had a similar experience.

The only thing that made him feel problematic was why Macht was the target of the attack?

Although this member of the House of Commons is indeed a supporter and advocate of air pollution control, he often gives corresponding speeches in parliament, and accepts newspaper interviews from time to time, but he is by no means the most eye-catching person in the process of introducing the bill. In other words, members of the "Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee" are more likely to be selected as targets of retaliation.

Klein leaned against the wall of the compartment and slowly opened his eyes, only to see that the night outside the window was already dark, the clouds were overlapping, and the raindrops were dripping rapidly.

He once again felt the vortex under the calm water surface of Backlund getting bigger and more intense.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Klein slightly raised his left palm and touched his pocket.

It contained a reply letter that was suspected to be from Frank Lee and mushrooms of unknown species.

Klein really wanted to go home, so he went above the gray mist, and used the newly acquired mushrooms to communicate with Creeping Hunger, so that he could use this sealed item again—when the storm was already brewing, he thought he It is necessary to restore the peak combat capability as soon as possible, and in this regard, "squirming hunger" is indispensable.

It's a pity that he was accompanied by two Extraordinary bodyguards, and he had to try not to go above the gray fog recently.

Obviously I don't need protection, but I spent hundreds of pounds to invite two people who restricted my movement, what a rich man's helplessness... Klein sighed in his heart, and picked up the black tea that Richardson had just made.

He took a sip, the muscles on his face tightened a little, and then stretched out again.

Klein looked down and found that the black tea contained twice as many lemon slices as normal.

He glanced at Richardson next to him indiscriminately, and saw that the valet looked a little dazed, as if he was still immersed in the shock caused by the attack just now.

As timid as ever... Klein commented in his heart, and put the bone china teacup in his hand on the table.

…………

Late at night, House of Councilor Macht at No. 39 Böklund Street.

Hazel sat in front of the dressing table, looked at the gray mouse squatting on the powder box, and said in silence for a long time:

"Did my father do something wrong? What he promoted is obviously a good thing..."

"No one thing is beneficial to everyone. There will always be those who lose interests. At this time, the corresponding bill or plan must be considered, compensated, and helpful. If your father has done this The problem is not with him, on the contrary, it shows that he is cruel and cruel." The mouse said casually.

Hazel thought about it carefully for a few seconds, her expression relaxed, and she said instead:

"During the dinner, I noticed that there were very valuable items hidden in a cabinet in the box, but when I opened it later, I found nothing."

The mouse was startled for a moment, thought for a moment and said:

"That might be Dawn Dantès' bodyguard.

"He was recently involved in a suicide case, which is said to involve Baron Syndras, so it's normal to hire some bodyguards for covert protection.

"Hmm... the bodyguard in the cabinet may also have supernatural powers and carry magical items, so you sensed it."

Hazel nodded slightly, accepted the explanation, and subconsciously said to herself:

"I don't know what kind of supernatural power those bodyguards will have..."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at the gray mouse suspiciously:

"How did you know that Dawn Dantès was involved in a troublesome case?"

The mouse squeaked:

"I'm in a perfect position to eavesdrop on other people's discussions."

While speaking, it looked in the direction of No. 160 Boklund Street, and its eyes flickered twice.

…………

Forsi, who was sleeping in shifts, felt that she had drifted into an ancient and majestic palace, which was filled with all kinds of extraordinary materials and magical items, and even two vague tarot cards.

However, she couldn't take any of them away, and these items were all sealed by invisible forces.

Forsi looked around, trying to find a way to break the seal. Finally, she saw a complex symbol engraved on the dome:

This is the symbol of the combination of "fate" and "concealment"!

If you find an object with this symbol engraved on it, you can open the seal of a treasure... Fors suddenly came to such a realization, and suddenly woke up, and found herself curled up on the carpet in the room, covered with a thin silk cloth. Being—— neither she nor Xio dared to sleep in that easy chair, for fear of being noticed by Dawn Dantès, who often sat there.

Rubbing her forehead, Forsi turned over and sat up, and saw Xio leaning against the wall "leading" to the master bedroom, listening to the surrounding movement very seriously.

"I feel that there is some secret hidden here. I had a strange dream, dreaming of exaggerated treasures and complicated symbols." Fors said with a frown as she walked towards Xio.

As an "astrologer", she intuitively thought that there was something wrong with the dream just now!

Seeing Forsi's serious expression, Xio suppressed her suspicious words, thought for a while and said:

"Maybe there really is some secret. I once heard a proverb belonging to the mysterious world. It goes like this, 'When one extraordinary element is found somewhere, there must be a second one'."

"It's still impossible to judge whether there is a steward with extraordinary power. That Miss Hazel is the first extraordinary element. There should be a second one near her, or in this block." Forsi lightly He nodded his head lightly, and then smiled, "However, this has nothing to do with us. Tomorrow evening, we will be able to receive the reward, finish the bodyguard mission, and leave here. The most pitiful person is always Dawn Dantès, innocent, Ordinary, yet having to deal with troublesome events and extraordinary elements."

Having said that, Fors looked at Xio and joked:

"Quick, quickly say may the goddess bless him.

"I'm a believer in steam and machinery, so I can't do that."

Xio thought about it for two seconds, drew a crimson moon on his chest, and whispered reverently:

"May the goddess bless Mr. Dawn Dantès."

Fors had completely shaken off her drowsiness, covered her mouth with her hand, yawned and said:

"I'll walk around the house and inspect it. You wait for a quarter of an hour before going to bed."

"Okay." Xio was obviously more energetic than Forsi.

Fors immediately turned to the door, stretched out her hand and pressed on the wall, and she was already in the corridor.

She was about to walk towards the stairs when she suddenly noticed a slight movement in the room where Dwayne Dantès' personal servant slept.

Fors turned her eyes slightly, approached cautiously, opened a "small door" on the wall, and moved her eyes closer.

She immediately saw Richardson dancing a slightly crazy, mysterious dance.

"Spiritual dance? Doesn't this male servant believe in the Evernight Goddess? He secretly worships the God of Death?" Fors frowned as she watched Richardson finish dancing the spirit dance, and watched Richardson pray for the protection of the God of Death in a low voice, so that he could avoid all kinds of things. Danger.

When everything was over, Forsi shook her head and said silently to herself:

"Poor Monsieur Dantès."
