Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 90 Black Rose

Da da da!
The sound of horse hooves interrupted their conversation, and the public carriage gradually stopped in front of them.

Eve smiled at Melissa, lifted her skirt and stepped into the carriage.

Melissa was stunned for two seconds, a blush spreading across her face. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Eve. She tossed her hair uncomfortably, staring down at the ground, and stiffly followed Eve into the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Melissa was stunned for a moment.

There was nothing unusual in the carriage, and no one noticed that an extremely beautiful girl walked among them.

it's wired?
Melissa looked at the crowd around her and remembered that it seemed to be the same when she was waiting for the bus. No one noticed Teacher Eve, and she wouldn't have noticed if the teacher hadn't greeted her.

Moreover, with such a beautiful teacher coming, the students should not have been unaware of the fact.

Hmm... Is this what Emperor Roselle meant by "low sense of presence"?

Melissa felt that her previous understanding of Emperor Roselle's famous saying was a bit superficial.

"Miss Eve is so beautiful, why does she have such a low profile?" Melissa pondered for a moment, then shook her head and gave up. "It's so profound. Fortunately, I didn't major in philosophy."

Eve sat quietly in her seat, glanced at Melissa secretly, curled the corners of her lips, and said nothing.

The wheels turned round and round and rolled to Daffodil Street.

Eve picked up her handbag and waved goodbye after getting out of the car with Melissa.

The girl slowly walked back to the house she rented on Narcissus Street, took out various mechanics books and began to study.

Eve had studied mechanics before, but out of a sense of responsibility, she still wanted to review it, and there might be some differences between what she learned and what she has learned now.

……

No. 2 Narcissus Street

After dinner at the Moretti family's, Melissa touched her bloated stomach and opened her mouth to say something.

"belch."

Melissa immediately covered her mouth and lowered her head embarrassedly.

"Haha." Benson laughed twice.

Klein looked at Benson, then at Melissa, and cleared his throat twice.

Benson and Melissa's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Benson, Melissa, I have two pieces of good news to announce." Klein said seriously, suppressing his smirk.

Normally, announcing good news should be done with a smile on one's face, but Klein discovered that the potion would digest when he was facing Melissa and Benson. In order to slow down the digestion of the potion, Klein could only try not to smile.

"One," Klein held up a finger. "I got a promotion. Now my weekly salary is six pounds."

Actually, it was ten pounds. Six pounds was the weekly salary for a formal member of the Nighthawks, but the weekly salary increased too quickly. He was worried that Melissa and Benson would think too much, so he didn't say it and planned to find a chance to say it later.

"Really, Klein?" Melissa looked at Klein in disbelief, her mouth unconsciously opening slightly.

Benson also had an expression of disbelief on his face. He stared at Klein silently, patted his head, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.

"Of course," Klein looked at his sister and brother in front of him, trying hard not to laugh. He continued in a serious tone, "The second good news is that I got the bonus, a full ten pounds!"

"Ten pounds..." Melissa couldn't believe it and repeated it in a low voice.

Benson unconsciously sat up straight and looked at Klein with sharp eyes.

After a long moment, he took a deep breath, smiled with relief, his eyes full of pride.

"We can consider hiring a maid," Klein said, "and Melissa."

"Me?" Melissa was stunned for a moment and looked at Klein.

"Yes," Klein nodded solemnly, his eyes filled with seriousness, "You should have your own pocket money."

"No," Melissa quickly shook her head. "I don't need it, Klein. We can save the money."

"Klein is right," Benson agreed. "Melissa, you should have your own pocket money. This isn't wasted money, Melissa. This is respectable."

"But……"

"With Klein's current weekly salary, we're already considered middle class. According to middle-class etiquette, you should have your own pocket money," Benson said slowly. "Besides that, we'll also have to hold a tea party. Of course, we can ignore that right now, but occasionally treating your friends to some cakes and pudding is still necessary."

"Really?" Melissa asked doubtfully.

"Of course," Klein said immediately, sincerely and seriously. "Although we don't need to strictly adhere to those etiquettes, we still need to observe basic etiquette, otherwise we will be looked down upon by others. Of course, you don't have to spend your pocket money on cakes. You can buy any mechanical parts you like. In short, this is your pocket money, and you can spend it as you please."

Melissa's heart moved. Looking at the two serious brothers in front of her, she hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

……

Crimson moonlight poured through the window onto the book, and a breeze rushed into the room, lifting a corner of the paper.

Eve ran the back of her hand gently over the paper, flattening the corners, then snapped the book shut and placed it on the tall pile.

The girl rubbed her eyes, slumped over the desk, and muttered to herself, "Damn Zhou Mingrui, I've paid too much for you."

After lying down for a while, Eve sat up and began to study books. After finishing one, she lay down again.

After repeating this many times, Eve stood up and walked towards the dressing mirror.

At this time, the Moretti brothers and sisters had said good night to each other and returned to their rooms.

"Let's go, let's go," Eve yawned and said, "This is really terrible."

"Okay." Klein took two quick steps to Eve's side. He looked down at her and suddenly asked, "Do you have the formula for the 'monster'?"

"Yes," Eve looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Today, when Old Neil took me to a bar, I met someone. To be more precise, he was half a 'monster'. Because of his high level of inspiration, he often saw things he shouldn't see and heard things he shouldn't hear," Klein explained.

"I understand," Eve nodded. "Take me to see it tomorrow."

"How many potion formulas do you know?" Klein couldn't help but ask curiously. Besides the complete formulas for the Assassin and Hunter paths mastered by the Rose Society, Eve had also revealed the formulas for "Wind-Blessed" and "Monster," as well as the formula for the "Pharmacist" path possessed by Rarity. Furthermore, Eve knew the core role of the Diviner path, so Klein guessed that Eve probably knew some of the Diviner's formulas as well. With that calculation, Eve knew a truly vast number of formulas. "I know all the low-sequence formulas," Eve replied.

all!
Klein was shocked. Even a low-sequence potion was surprising. If he thought so, then Eve should know most of the mid- and high-sequence potions.

"How impressive," Klein exclaimed. Then, another question occurred to him: "Why does the Rose Society only possess the complete formulas for Hunter and Assassin?"

"Then do you think that the Church of Evernight has only mastered those few methods in the past two thousand years?" Eve asked back.

Klein thought for two seconds, then shook his head.

"If you want to know, study quickly and catch up." Eve gritted her teeth, thinking about the pile of books on her desk, and then placed her hand on Klein's shoulder.

"Wait!" Klein whispered hurriedly.

Eve lowered her hand and looked at Klein.

Klein immediately turned around and faced the dressing mirror. He made sure that the illusion Eve had cast on him was normal before turning away. "Okay, we can go now."

Eve watched Klein's actions in silence. She opened her mouth, thought for two seconds, and finally closed it. She put her hand on his shoulder and took Klein to the Rhodes Islands.

After leaving Klein outside, Eve casually walked into a tavern.

"A glass of Vega beer, thank you." Eve said as she stood at the counter.

Pirates and adventurers were rarely so polite. The shop owner couldn't help but look up at the other person, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He looked around and found that those guys who usually made a fuss when they saw beautiful women didn't react at all, as if they didn't see the woman in front of them.

In a flash, the shop owner made up his mind. No matter what the reason was, this woman must not be provoked easily.

He immediately withdrew his gaze and handed the wine over swiftly.

Eve took the wine, found a place to sit down casually, put the wine on the table, took out the book from her handbag and continued reading.

"Boss, a glass of absinthe."

A hot woman with black curly hair walked in with long legs, and the tavern suddenly became noisier.

"Hey, Lina, who are you looking for today?" a somewhat sloppy drunkard said, and then made a hip-thrusting motion, "Can I do it?"

"You can't do it, only your father can." Lina rolled her eyes and said, "Go away."

"I am his father!" A rough voice came, and a strong man with one ear missing shouted loudly. The two men looked nothing alike.

"Fuck you, I'm your dad!" the sloppy drunk cursed.

"Hahahaha," Lina laughed so hard that her body shook. She took the absinthe from the boss, shook it twice, and leaned against the counter and said, "How many fathers does he have?"

"I!"

"And I!"

"Here's another one!"

Lina took a sip of absinthe and touched her face intoxicatedly, enjoying the feeling extremely.

Eve looked up at the messy tavern, then lowered her head to continue reading.

Eve knew that the girl, Lina Medina, was a male witch like Sherman. Because of this, the two of them felt a sense of sympathy and had an extremely good relationship. She was the first mate of the "Red Agate" and was known as the "Black Rose" on the sea, a witch of joy.

He was quite impressed by her because Mickey once described Lina as "a witch from the ancient witch church". Because of this comment, Lina became famous in the Rose Society.

But they just thought the comment was cool and didn't understand its meaning.

After the death of the God of Death, Eve's movements were unrestricted, and she began spreading the idea that the Primordial Witches were equal to the Chaos Witches across the southern continent. This gained her many followers, although many of them also believed in both Chick and Eve. When the time was right, Eve began to separate the Primordial Witches from Chick. Under Eve's pressure, Chick was forced to abandon the Witch Church and establish the Gnosis Society with his remaining followers.

Therefore, the current Witch Church is equivalent to the Rose Society. They don’t know that the ancient Witch Church and the Rose Society are in opposition and are churches that believe in the "Original Witch".

Will Eve's rose deceive men into taking the assassin's path? And after Eve's status suppressed Chick, He stuffed "Assassin's Path Sequence Seven will turn you into a woman" into Sequence Nine as Extraordinary Knowledge. Even wild Extraordinary people can know it, which greatly reduces the birth of paranoid witches. So now we rarely see those paranoid witches from the Witch Church.

Pirates are quick to take revenge, and with the stimulation of alcohol and the instigation of beautiful women, a conflict naturally broke out.

The tavern was in chaos. The owner looked at the group of men fighting with some anxiety. The sound of broken glass in his ears and the damaged tables and chairs in his eyes made him feel distressed. These pirates would not compensate him for his losses.

Lina held the absinthe and smiled as she watched the farce, seeming to be very happy.

Eve looked up at the farce and sighed. Invisible spider silk quietly entangled everyone.

Suddenly, the tavern fell silent.

Everyone remained motionless in their postures, as if frozen in time, but the beer bottles rolling on the ground and the pirates' heaving chests still indicated the flow of time.

The boss glanced at Eve secretly, then immediately looked away. A little cold sweat broke out on his head and his breathing was trembling.

Lina put away the smile on her face and used all her strength to struggle free, but found that her body was still unable to move. She asked seriously: "Sir, can you tell us the reason? We will definitely correct it."

The pirates were much sober now. Some began to beg Eve for mercy, while others started to curse.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

"what!"

Eve loosened the spider silk that bound them, and the tavern was suddenly filled with collisions and shouting.

Lina moved her arm tentatively, and when she found that she could really move it, she immediately said, "Thank you, sir." At the same time, she was wondering what the sir's intention was.

The people in the tavern were frightened and ran out. Suddenly, only Eve, Lina and the boss were left in the tavern.

Lina looked at Eve, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she realized that how could those people not react at all when such a beautiful girl appeared in the tavern.

"Sir?" Lina called out tentatively.

"If you let them continue, there will be bloodshed. Of course, I don't mind them dying, but you will be in big trouble." Eve smiled, stood up, and walked out the door. "A small lesson. Remember to compensate the boss for his losses."

"Yeah." Lina nodded.
