Chapter 360 Topic

After completing the stargazing, Annan did not stay at the top of the mountain for too long. He soon followed the director of the observatory back to the somewhat dilapidated observatory facilities on the mountainside.

"Please use."

In the lounge. Joseph, director of the Observatory. Hailton handed Annan the hot cocoa he had just brewed.

"It's very cold on the top of the mountain, and stargazing is also very dangerous. It will make the body cold unconsciously, so every time we finish a similar project, we drink a hot drink."

"Thanks."

Annan picked up the warm mug and took a sip of the drink inside.

There were many drinks prepared at the observatory, and Annan finally chose hot cocoa.

After taking a sip of the freshly brewed hot drink, his body immediately felt much warmer.

"Mr. Helton, your observatory obviously uses a lot of black magic, but the White Knight is still willing to cooperate with you."

Annan seemed to be speaking freely, but in fact it was because he felt that it was too quiet when there were only two of them, so he talked about some topics carelessly.

"The white knight directors of this generation are a little bit special. Before that one was about to become director, I secretly contacted him and successfully convinced him to go stargazing, just like you.

After two generations of white knight chiefs, this is someone who is qualified to stargaze. "

Hylton casually revealed the secret that cannot be made public.

It must be a secret that cannot be disclosed to the White Knight and the outside world, but in fact, basically all stargazers at the observatory with some qualifications will know about this matter.

Hailton didn't think there was anything to keep secret about this matter. Since the guest asked questions, he would naturally answer them.

"Our cooperation is of course full of risks, but this White Knight Director is very capable, and we will only expose our black magic methods in front of the elite White Knights, so there is no problem for the time being.

As for the end of our cooperation, how the White Knight will view us is another question. "

At least at this point in time, cooperation between the Observatory and the White Knight is necessary. Both of them need each other's strength.

It is estimated that their cooperation will not be broken until the issues related to the Abyss Order are resolved, and there is no need to worry about being betrayed in the short term.

"Mr. Hylton, how did Munch, the son of a wealthy family, join your observatory?"

After finishing a topic, the surroundings became quiet again.

Annan hadn't finished the drink in his hand, and it was a bit inappropriate to leave now, so he once again casually raised a topic.

"I asked him, but he was very general and didn't have any details. Can you please satisfy my curiosity?"

"Of course, the process is not too complicated. Everything is just coincidence and accident. There is nothing to hide."

With a smile on his lips, Haiden then told his companion's past without permission.

However, what he said was not very long, it was just an extended version of what Annan had heard from Munch.

Munch accidentally entered the other world when he was a child, and then happened to come near the observatory's headquarters. He was discovered by the observatory, and then he was recruited.

That's it.

The Observatory did not recruit Munch based on his family background, it was just a coincidence.

"Why do you feel that the conditions for selecting new members of your observatory are a bit casual?"

After listening to the short story, Annan felt dumbfounded.

"The conditions for us to select members are very simple. As long as they are willing to keep the secret, and they have enough resistance to black magic to fight against the abyss, that is enough. Of course, there is also the other party who is willing to join. We will not force anyone."

Annan always felt that the director of the observatory had not finished telling the story behind it, so out of curiosity, he asked again.

"Well, if I really want to say it, the reason why Munch accidentally entered the other world when he was a child was because of the automatic doll he had been raising."

"December?"

"Yes."

Hylton can clearly recall the events of that day.

Munch, who was still a teenager at the time, stumbled into the world of traveling by accident, carrying December, who had grown to the size of a young child, in his arms.

Munch was curiously testing December's ability. He accidentally triggered December's ability to enter the other world, and then fell near the observatory's headquarters.

"Your observatory, at that time, did you have any idea of ​​​​dealing with December?"

After Annan heard the details, he suddenly asked this question.

"A little."

Hylton doesn’t mince words.

"At that time, we conducted a preliminary inspection on the problem of the automatic doll. There is no doubt that the doll is a relic transformed by some kind of black magic. It is a very unique black magic object. If ordinary people come into contact with it, I’m afraid it will end badly.”

When Annan first came into contact with the automatic doll December, he had already seen some clues.

But since the owner of the automaton seems to think there is no problem, he will not do anything arrogantly.

After getting along for a period of time, Annan couldn't see anything bad happening between the master and the doll, and probably didn't need his advice, so he stopped caring about it.

Now it seems that the observatory is also very aware of the status of its own members.

"Munch is very lucky. First of all, he has extremely high resistance to black magic, which avoids the first danger. In addition, he has taken good care of the doll since he was very young. This also prevents the doll from inappropriate growth and from embarking on the wrong path.

To this day, as long as nothing happens to Munch, the doll will always be safe. Or rather, if the owner has an accident, the doll will probably die on the spot. "

The Observatory does not know the original origin of the automaton December, and it probably cannot be traced now. However, since it is certain that the automaton is not too dangerous, they will not interfere with the members' choices.

"I'm very curious, how does a growing black magical object that should be very dangerous become harmless to humans and animals?"

After hearing these stories, Annan is really curious now.

"If you really want to say it, then it's probably love."

"like?"

Annan did not expect to hear this answer that was almost as outrageous as the true face of the moon in the abyss.

"That automatic doll, or a powerful black magician, used up all the dangerous items to create it. However, black magic itself has a lot to do with our emotions. Black magic is indeed harmful, but... Sometimes it becomes safe and sound like this.”

Hylton said it nicely, but he also knew that this was a one-in-a-million example.

Although it cannot be called a miracle, there is probably no second similar case in this world.

"Don't you think that love itself can transcend the harm of black magic and is a beautiful thing?"

Annan thought about it seriously.

Then he smiled and nodded.

"That's right, Mr. Hylton, you are right."
