Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 141 Oil Painting
Thick gray fog filled the ancient palace, and the blurry figures beside the long bronze table were hidden behind the fog.

Derrick lowered his head, then raised it again after a few seconds. He looked at the Queen across from him, opened his mouth, and said with a slight stammer, "Thank you very much for your understanding, Miss Queen."

Eve smiled faintly, like a kind elder, but the gray mist obscured her face and expression, revealing only mystery and beauty to the Tarot Club members.

Klein lowered his head and glanced around, tapping his fingers on the table. Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn, he solemnly announced the end of the meeting.

"Your will is our will."

Everyone in the Tarot Club stood up and saluted.

Klein cut off everyone's connection, and in a flash, only he and Eve were left on Sefirah Castle.

He lay back and was about to simulate the feeling of falling to leave Sefirah Castle when he heard Eve's voice.

"Crawling hunger," Eve murmured, then turned to Klein and smiled, "If it's crawling hunger, then you can leave it to Azik."

Klein opened his eyes, placed his hands on the armrests, and sat up. He turned to look at Eve, "Is this magical item related to Mr. Azik's past?"

伊芙点了点头。

Good things really come in pairs. I couldn't find them before, but now they come one after another... Klein's eyes lit up and he thought to himself.

Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly discovered another problem.

"Will Mr. Azik be in danger?" Klein frowned slightly and asked with some concern. He didn't know how much of Mr. Azik's abilities had recovered.

"Don't underestimate an angel," Eve said with a smile. "Even if they lose their abilities, it's impossible for an angel to be killed by a Sequence Six."

"No, I'm not referring to death, although death is also included in the dangers I mentioned." Klein was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Is death the only danger for angels?"

"Not really," Eve said, her hands folded under her chin, her ocean-blue eyes staring forward, seemingly piercing the eternal gray fog. "It's just that most of the time, it's worse than death."

Klein remained silent. He knew that sometimes dying in the Extraordinary World could be a blessing. As high-ranking beings, angels possessed powers that ordinary Extraordinary beings could hardly achieve, but they also faced greater dangers.

Eve suddenly put her hands away, leaned back, and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll go too."

He said jokingly, "After all, I am your beloved."

Klein was stunned for a moment, then slowly reached out and held his forehead. His facial muscles were stiff, and the embarrassment he felt was about to penetrate the gray fog.

I should think of an excuse to get Mr. Azik involved in this matter... He closed his eyes and thought silently in his heart.

Eve blinked, a hint of smile flashed in her eyes, and left Sefirah Castle.

In the dim bedroom, the tightly closed curtains blocked the sunlight, and the off-white thin quilt was piled in a mess on the flat bed.

He casually lay down on the bed, pulled out a corner of the thin quilt to cover his stomach, and slowly closed his eyes.

After a few seconds, the girl's long and thick eyelashes fluttered twice like butterfly wings, and her tightly closed eyes opened.

Eve lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes for a long time before she slowly got up.

He estimated Klein's arrival time and used the spiritual realm to travel to the vicinity of Hoy University.

The clear river water flows quietly. There are no college students rowing on the river. The trees on both sides of the river have curled up their leaves, as if they can't stand the scorching sun, but they still cast a shadow to provide shade for people.

Klein felt a sudden surge of inspiration. Turning around, he found Eve standing behind him. What a convenient ability… Klein admired it in his heart, thinking with some envy, "Not only is it convenient, but it also saves a lot of money on transportation."

"Let's go."

The girl walked over to Klein, raised her chin, and gestured to him.

"Ah."

Klein replied, taking the initiative to step forward and lead the way.

Hoy University is not small, and the two walked a long way before they met Azik.

"Mr. Azik," Klein glanced around as he entered, confirming that Mr. Azik was the only one in the office before entering with confidence. "We apologize for disturbing you. We have something important to tell you right away."

Eve followed Klein into the room and locked the door behind her.

There was a hint of surprise in Azik's eyes, but more of it was still his usual gentleness.

He immediately stood up and invited Klein and Eve to sit down. He also sat opposite them, ready to listen to their news.

"Mr. Azik, we've found clues to your past," Klein said seriously.

Although he had guessed this possible outcome, Azik still couldn't help but get excited when he heard it from Klein's mouth. His eyes, which always showed a sense of vicissitudes, lost their former indifference.

"What clue?" he asked impatiently.

Klein pondered for two seconds, then organized his words and said, "I recently accepted a commission to eliminate a vengeful spirit in an abandoned castle outside the town of Ramde."

"Ramde..."

Azik murmured the name again, his brows furrowed slightly.

Klein observed Azik's expression and saw that the name "Ramde" touched Mr. Azik. He immediately continued, "While eliminating the vengeful spirits, we discovered something, so we went to the town to conduct an in-depth investigation..."

"A townsman claimed to have a portrait of the first Baron Ramde and tried to sell it to me. I looked at the painting and found that, aside from the hairstyle, the person in the portrait bears a striking resemblance to you, Mr. Azik. Even the mole under the ear is in the same position and size."

"Under my interrogation, the townsman confessed that the painting was created over forty years ago, but the subject it imitated was indeed an ancient portrait unearthed from an abandoned castle."

"You know, people like us with unique abilities have the initial skill to identify lies, and this skill tells me that the townsman is not lying."

Azik leaned forward and listened quietly, remaining silent until Klein finished speaking.

After a while, Azik slowly exhaled and said, "I can't remember anything. Maybe I should go to the castle and take a look. Can you take me there?"

"of course can."

Klein nodded and looked at Eve.

Eve, who had remained silent the entire time, stood up, squeezing Klein's shoulder with one hand and Azik's shoulder with the other.

Azik looked at Eve with some confusion, and suddenly found that the world had changed. All the colors became darker and distorted and overflowed from their original positions.

Eve took the two of them to the town of Ramde, and before leaving, she opened the lock on the office that she had locked.
