It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

"It's noisy."

Chapter 62 Obsession

No matter what the other party is, as long as they can communicate normally, it will not seem so scary.

The most frightening thing is always the unknown. A female ghost with normal intelligence and impatientness doesn't seem so scary.

"I thought you were just my fantasy, just like the people who appeared before, and will disappear soon."

"It seems that this time is a little different from what I thought. Tell me, my young sir, are you a phantom?"

As she said so, she dropped the quill on the table, and jerked Gracie's hand over to observe him closely.

The latter wanted to break free but found that her strength was astonishing, she didn't look like a woman about his height at all.Gracie could only tilt her head back as far as possible to keep a distance from the opponent.

"It seems that you are indeed not my phantom, I have never seen such a face."

Her expression became a little nervous, and a flame of excitement or other colors flashed in her eyes.

"I just heard my name from your mouth. It's been so long that I've even almost forgotten it... Yes, my name is Anna Pole, and I followed Captain Barents on the quest One of the members of the new route."

Anna's voice was dry and awkward at first. She hadn't spoken to anyone for so long that her voice sounded like a hoarse mummified corpse laughing hoarsely.

"I should be dead already."

She seemed to have remembered something, let go of Gracie's arm, covered her head with her hand and showed a painful expression.

"Who am I...why can't I die anyway?"

There is a strong resonance hidden in this sentence, because of some factors that Gracie cannot understand, he seems to have seen some extremely terrifying picture in a trance.

The woman in the picture puts her head into the noose, cuts her throat, stabs her heart with a short knife, falls from a height, or is eaten by a pack of wolves - that is endless death.

Just feeling the tip of the iceberg of pain made Gracie Williams's heart tighten and she could barely breathe.

"you know me?"

The other party's spirit was obviously not quite right, she clearly said that she was Anna Boll, a sailor of the Barents Fleet a few seconds ago.

"You are Anna Bohr. I found your diary and the remains of other people in the wooden house under the main peak of the Yarak Mountains...In my knowledge, you should be dead, Anna. Miss."

The wheat-skinned woman sat sluggishly on her back on the chair, motionless.

It was too long, so long that Gracie felt that the other party had stopped breathing, and Anna spoke again. This time, she spoke much more fluently, and her voice was more like a young female sailor.

"I think about it, and it seems to be like this...I seem to have one thing that I didn't get done, and that's what I always care about. But I just remember that I should do something, but I forgot What is the matter itself."

"Tell me, unknown friend. Although I know this is just embarrassing you, I still want to ask... Is my mission completed?"

What is a dead person 30 years ago and the mission she has been thinking about?There were no clues or hints, but Gracie probably understood what it was, so he replied without much hesitation:

"You let every dead team member sleep in a decent sleep in the wooden house, without being violated by wild animals. If there is a chance, we can take your ashes back to your hometown. You left a book in the wooden house to record the whole journey diary, from which Miss Sibyla Constantine and I have gained much useful information, I leave aside... She is a great scholar, and if she can get out of here, she will definitely publish the Barents ship Don’t let the many honors that belong to you be ashamed.”

"Sibylla Constantine...I've heard that name."

A strange look flashed across Anna's face,

"Miss Constantine... Did she get my diary? If so, my mission has indeed been accomplished."

Anna Pole knew Miss Constantine?

This strange thought flashed through Gracie's mind, but he denied it in an instant. Perhaps the young lady's fathers had also participated in that journey, which could also explain her attachment to the ancient country of Hyboril. obsession.

Gracie decided not to resolve this misunderstanding, and it might be a good idea to let Anna think so.

Anna showed an expression of relief. She raised her hands to embrace the non-existent sun, leaving a few drops of crystal liquid in the corners of her eyes.

This scene made Gracie's face change drastically. Although he didn't believe in the existence of ghosts or other supernatural phenomena before, he still heard some rumors.It is said that wandering souls will disappear after fulfilling their last wishes and obsessions, and go to heaven or purgatory.

"Hey, wait, you haven't answered my question yet!"

As soon as he felt anxious, he hurried forward to grab this Dutch female undead with "relief" and "I want to disappear" written all over her face.

But the result of doing so is only to make the other party full of doubts.

"...Aren't you going to disappear?"

The corners of Gracie Williams' mouth twitched a few times, forcing out an awkward yet polite smile.

Anna Pol tilted her head.

"Why do you think that? Rather, if I knew how to die, I would have already died."

The human and the undead looked at each other, speechless for a while.

-

A streamlined water carriage with a strange shape was parked on the pier, and several horse-headed mermaids with blue dorsal fins lowered their heads quietly.

But the people who came and went just looked in this direction for a while and continued to work at hand, carrying wooden boxes or pushing the shuttle bus to and fro on the pier, as if they had long been accustomed to this luxurious carriage and weird creatures.

The petite girl with long red hair walked up the gangway to the pier. She was wearing a solemn black turtleneck jumpsuit, barely revealing any skin.A dark black veil covers most of the face,

Elaine is only accompanied by a personal maid named Lydia, and her travels are much more low-key and restrained than a few months ago.

The island she arrived on does not exist in any country's charts, and even the forces of the mysterious world have few people who can grasp the exact coordinates here.The island is protected by powerful magic power, even if there are fishing boats or cargo ships passing by, only dangerous reefs and stacked shipwrecks will be seen.

This is the reward she got after agreeing to join the wizard alliance.

After floating, the exact coordinates of Nod.

Most of the people living on this island are wizards, civilians who have lived in Nod since they were young, and some surviving dirty blood untouchables.They have long been familiar with the mysterious, after all, most of the creatures in the wilderness in the past looked weirder than the pony-headed mermaid.

Elaine calmed down and looked at the spire castle in the distance. Someone told her that the answer she had been looking for was there.

Chapter 63 The Dead

With the help of wizards, Enoch's scale is rapidly expanding, and the metal castle that was originally the residence of the foul-blooded nobles has become the ruins of the old era.Except for the parts that had been completely corroded by the blood sea and could not be used, most of its outer shell was removed and cast into the bones of the new city.

The order of the old era has collapsed, and a new order has sprouted on the ruins and scorched earth.This was what Elaine Belusay used to say, but when she saw this scene with her own eyes, she just looked at the crowd coming and going and fell into a daze.

"What are people doing here?"

Strolling at the pier of New Enoch City, she noticed that everyone here was very busy, and a large number of cargo ships were moored near the pier of New Enoch City, which was built first.

People kept bringing in wood and stone, and loaded some things in large wooden boxes onto the freighter.

"Miss, this is one of the projects we're involved in with the Alliance."

Lydia explained,

"The soil in the land of Nod contains a strong life force. Some crops can be harvested in a large amount in just over a month under the magic of accelerated growth. We provide them with the materials necessary for large-scale magic, stones for building houses, and metals. Ores, lumber in exchange for grain, the support of the allies, and the equipment of Enoch's craft."

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a piece of mithril gauntlet that was close to the skin. It was as thin as paper with intricate patterns, and it was as delicate as a beautiful handicraft, but its magic resistance and physical strength were far beyond common sense. .Even a high-pressure steam rifle combined with magic-piercing bullets at close range can only leave a shallow dent on the gauntlet at most.

This gauntlet is a boutique as a sample.

At this time, a small but relatively delicate steam locomotive stopped in front of the two of them, and the waiter with a blank face opened the door. The person who got out of the car was an alliance wizard whom Elaine had met in White Rose Manor before but could not remember the name. .

He was dressed in a luxurious and fancy way, and when he looked carefully, the black close-fitting suit was actually embroidered with complex embroidery of the same color.

Under his slender neckline, the silver-edged silk bow tie was decorated with lace patterns and neatly arranged tiny diamonds.

In Elaine's impression, this person's status in the alliance should not be low, but she is used to judging the degree to which a person is worthy of being valued by the strength of magic power.

The magic aura on the wizard's body is very weak, as weak as a layman who is new to this art.Therefore, Elaine naturally regarded the former as a marginal role that could be ignored.

The man who stood firmly in front of the two took off his black silk top hat, with the corners of his mouth turned up.

"Miss Elaine Belusay?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

The other party's expression froze slightly for a moment, but then returned to its original appearance.

"Please allow me to introduce myself."

"I am Lucien Mephisto, a small character whose name is not worth remembering. This time, I was only one of the few useless idlers in the city, so I was entrusted with an important task and came to take charge of some simple tasks. Reception work.”

Lydia immediately stepped forward and bowed apologetically, with a sincere tone:

"I'm very sorry, the lady's mental state after that ceremony was very bad, and her memory and personality have been affected to a certain extent. Please don't mind the acting consul."

As the person who actually maintained the cooperative relationship as an agent during this period of time, Lydia would of course know Lucien.The latter, as the representative of the alliance in the future, served as the acting consul of New Enoch City, and formed a two-person council with Duncan Coleridge to be responsible for the big and small matters in the city. Now it can be said that he is a big figure that cannot be ignored in the wizard alliance.

After Lucien went to Nod as the head of the envoy, he showed his amazing talent and ability. The so-called "Mephisto family dude" has become an outdated joke today.

"Don't worry, this is just a joke, and part of it is indeed true. I have read the letter of introduction sent by Kraft, and I have arranged for you to meet at four o'clock in the afternoon, which is about an hour and 45 minutes later. . Before that, if you don’t mind, I’d like to accompany you for a stroll in Enoch.”

He read the urgency in the other party's eyes, so he explained:

"It's not out of any troublesome formalities and etiquette. As you can see, this is a pragmatic city, and everything except me is running efficiently. I think you and I don't want to waste precious time on meaningless welcome ceremonies. time."

"It's just that the venerable Mr. Coleridge is now caught up in another trouble."

-

The main castle of Enoch City, where the dirty blood nobles used to live, no longer exists. The mesh bridge that once connected the upper and lower towns was damaged under the huge water pressure when it was floating up. Like a gigantic canopy shining with metallic colors.

In the past, the buildings in the lower city of Enoch were protected by magic power and maintained a considerable scale. After several reconstructions of varying sizes, this place has become the center of the city.

The administrative hall of the Acting Consul is also located in the center of the lower city. This is not because of a status symbol or other reasons, but simply because the transportation is more convenient.

Its scale is not large. If this three-story flat-roofed building is placed in the material world, it can only be said to be the size of a hotel at best, and it looks a bit shabby.

In the office dedicated to Duncan Coleridge on the second floor, a middle-aged man in a black formal suit sat behind a desk with his elbows on the table, his fingers crossed and his nose bridged.

He looked at the blond girl dressed as a nun sitting opposite, and broke the silence first.

"I remember you saying we'd never see each other again—long time no see, Victoria, Victoria Milusel."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The latter nodded politely.

If Ella was here, I'm afraid she would be quite surprised. In the past, it was almost impossible for Victoria to respond in this way. Even during the time when NO. is taciturn.

"What's the matter with coming to me? I don't think there is anything wrong with my recent performance. I shouldn't be put on the hunting list again by you."

He was making innocuous jokes, which was what Victoria had said the last time they parted.If Duncan starts to fall, sending Enoch and the surviving foul blood back down the old ways again, Victoria will come back to this place and kill him.
