Then, he ran away.

------

The two people were still chatting under the parasol.

"Did you ask me to come here today just to keep you company?"

After the jokes and gossips were over, Claire restrained her overly indulgent smile and became a little more reserved.

Then, the subject changed.

"Of course I didn't just ask you to come out and play today."

Faro frowned:

"Is there anything else?"

Claire smiled faintly and said, "It's something you like to hear."

"The Night Hunters are coming to work. If nothing goes wrong, this will be your first operation."

Faro was a little surprised.

"you mean...."

Claire nodded: "Yes, there are strange things happening in Aiyin Castle."

"All these strange situations, except for the fraud of some people with ulterior motives, are almost 100% signs of foreign pollution intrusion."

"Creatures or demons from the outside world broke through the space crystal wall and came to the real world."

"And they cannot manifest directly in this world. They can only attach themselves to other creatures, and mortals are the easiest to be possessed."

"The spirit of ordinary humans is not as strong as that of other immortal species. Even if they just have a little more negative emotions, they can be easily affected and eroded by the twisted power of the outside world."

"This is the purpose of His Majesty the Emperor establishing the Night Hunters."

“When facing strange things, even companions sometimes cannot be trusted, and one must have strong personal combat capabilities to fight against them.”

Faro seemed to remember something, and then asked:

"I don't think I've seen any hunters in the council."

Claire shook her head.

"That's because hunters don't stay in one place for long. They only go to places where something weird is happening."

"There haven't been any serious strange incidents in Einburg before, so it's normal that there are no hunters here."

Faro smiled bitterly:

"Then I guess the hunters are all desperate criminals."

"After all, dealing with such evil things all day long would drive a normal person crazy if he didn't die."

Claire smiled and nodded:

"How smart! I could tell at once that you were not a hunter."

"Anyway, the mission is coming. Get ready and come back to my house this afternoon. I'll teach you some basic taijutsu and physical skills. I can also give you some pointers on extraordinary talents."

"I don't expect you to achieve great success on your first try. Just hold on until the other hunters get back."

Celia kept running, even though her legs were numb, and before she knew it she had reached the cemetery area on the outskirts of the city.

Few people come here, so she can vent her emotions.

She had lost feeling in her limbs, but that was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

The girl finally collapsed.

Celia, her heart filled with sorrow, could not help herself and burst into tears, her wails echoing throughout the cemetery.

Only then did she realize how afraid she was of Faro leaving her.

Although he always acted as if he owed her something, she knew in her heart that he just wanted Faro to pamper her more.

Viscount Wade also said that only if he cannot get what he wants will he always put himself first in his heart.

Doing this myself...isn't it really wrong?

As soon as I closed my eyes, the images of Faro and Claire laughing and talking flashed through my mind.

Holding her head in pain, she didn't want to remember that woman's face anymore.

Farlow doesn't love me anymore.

Farlow doesn't love me anymore.

Farlow doesn't love me anymore.

no...

can not be like this...

I don't want this!

Why did Faro, who was usually so gentle and obedient, become like this?

It must have been that woman who did it!

Sad to the extreme, Celia began to feel sad, angry, jealous, and several dark emotions and thoughts filled her mind.

As long as I can make Faro come back to my side...as long as I can make that woman disappear.

Whatever is fine, any price is acceptable.

"Are you sure?"

Celia's body trembled violently.

what sound?

The androgynous voice and unclear words revealed an indescribable weirdness.

Are you hallucinating?

Celil radiated her mental power, and the telekinesis of the third-level ice mage swept across the area around her.

and no one else.

Maybe I just heard it wrong.

Celia just thought so.

But then I heard that voice that didn't sound like a human voice.

"Are you sure?"

ps: There are three updates today. Am I awesome? Come and praise me!

Chapter 20 Moth

The strange sound came again, as if it was the voice of a dead person in a grave, whose vocal cords had been rotted by the soil, so he could only make such a strange sound.

Celia was a little frightened and quickly got up from the ground.

"who is it!"

"You are so brave to play tricks in front of me!"

The emotions that were just now immersed in grief could not help but be restrained a little in such a strange situation.

She didn't want others to see her sad look.

In this way, the girl looked around the cemetery for a long time, but she never heard any strange noises again.

Maybe they are some sorcerers hiding in the suburbs, Celia consoled herself.

How dare you scare me? If you show your face, you will be in big trouble!

The cemetery was eerily quiet.

You know, it's summer now, but the temperature in the cemetery is terribly low. The cold wind makes her shiver uncontrollably.

Suddenly, she saw a few white moths flying past her eyes.

There is nothing strange about this. It is normal to have such small animals in the cemetery.

But she clearly saw characters written on the moth's white wings.

She frowned and concentrated, then she could see the words clearly.

"Are you sure?"

A chill ran down Celia's spine.

Who on earth is so bored as to tease me in this way?

She wanted to go back the same way, so she turned around and left.

She didn't want to stay in this disgusting and weird place for even a second longer.

But as they walked, Celia discovered something was wrong.

The sunny day suddenly became cloudy and the buildings in the distance were obscured by fog.

Why has the scenery around me hardly changed after walking for so long?

This was originally just a small cemetery in the suburbs, but the road under Celia's feet seemed endless, and the tombstones standing on both sides were endless.

It seemed as if the whole world was reduced to paths and tombstones.

At this point even the dumbest person would realize that something was wrong.

Celia closed her eyes and released her mental energy, trying to communicate with the elements.

Fortunately, the elements can still be summoned!

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She was already a third-level ice master. The third level was the watershed for mages. She was no longer the powerless little girl.

Rather, he was a wizard who could cause massive destruction with a flick of his finger.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the surrounding scenery remained unchanged.

Everything is the same as when I arrived.

Looking at the moths flying past her, Celia realized that there was only one way to go.

That is to follow the moth and find out who is behind it.

Following the moth, we descended the path and passed through tombstone after tombstone.

Her expression changed and she became more nervous.

Because she could see from afar the destination where the moths were heading.

It was an open grave.

Celia mustered up her courage and took a closer look.

The tomb was empty.

Celia heaved a sigh of relief as she finally let go of the worry in her heart.

Immediately, the mage's mental warning sounded urgently.

There's something behind her!

Celia turned back hastily.

She saw a man in a suit standing on the path she was walking down.

The man was oddly tall and thin, much taller than the average man, but his suit fit him perfectly.

However, this is not the point. His features are blurry, not because the distance is too far, but because his head is surrounded by a large number of moths, covering it tightly.

No matter how you look at it, it looks extremely weird and distorted.

Although she was prepared, she was still startled by this strange scene.

"I am the Walsh family's fiancée, Celia Carida."
