All I heard was the girl sniffling.

Fantine looked at the moonlit sky tonight in silence, wondering whether her relatives and friends far away in another time and space were looking at the moon.

Tears rolled down An Jing's face.

She didn't want to say anything at the moment.

The only emotions rolling down the two hot tears are loneliness and homesickness.

------

Weide Mansion.

On a windy moonlit night, almost no one was willing to go out. Even the sheriff who was patrolling at night took his time off and returned to his team early.

But a figure took advantage of the time when the Weide family's guards were changing shifts and sneaked into the mansion.

This man seemed to be very familiar with the roads in the mansion. He even knew which corners had servants and guards, and he easily avoided them all.

Finally, we approached the Viscount's study.

There was a squeak.

The door was pushed open.

"I've said it many times, knock first..."

Weed was displeased at being interrupted while writing an important letter, and he looked up with a frown.

But his eyes widened.

“Wei…!”

He was so excited that he almost called out his son's name, but reason held back the second half of the utterance.

He quickly pulled Will closer.

Then he poked his head out from the crack in the door.

After checking that there was no one around, he retracted his head and locked the door.

"The news of your jailbreak has spread all over the city yesterday! Can't you just stay in there and wait for His Highness Shasilis to send someone to rescue you?"

"Why did you run out without permission?"

Weide's voice was filled with anger.

Claire put him in prison, which was equivalent to hurting the Second Prince's white glove. Originally, this was a good reason for His Royal Highness to take action, to maintain his faction with justification.

But his silly son actually chose to escape from prison!

This is equivalent to giving away the advantage for nothing.

"If you stay in prison, you will suffer at most. His Highness Shashilis will never abandon you, and you will have a good reputation to fight back."

"But now you....Alas!"

Wade knew that it was too late to say anything now, and his doting on his son gradually made his anger less powerful.

But looking at Will, there was not a trace of shame on his face.

Instead, he was full of smiles.

"Father, aren't you curious about how I escaped from prison?"

Seeing Will's energetic appearance, Wade couldn't help but feel strange.

"How did you escape from prison?"

Will said excitedly:

"I ran into Celia in the North District a few days ago. You know, that's when she was bewitched by the demon."

"The demon that resided in her soul made a deal with me. It gave me the power to break through to the fifth level!"

"And all it asks is to leave a clone in my body."

"And yesterday, that insect egg! That clone!"

"It hatched inside me!"

"I made another deal with it, and it helped me escape! And it gave me even more power!"

Will's expression became more and more excited, even a little fanatical.

Wade asked cautiously:

"So what kind of deal did you make with its clone?"

"It just gave him five years of soul life."

When Weide heard this, he almost had a fit.

But in the end, he sighed and slumped in his chair.

He knew his son's pride would make him do anything, but he didn't expect him to be stupid enough to make a deal with the demon.

This silly son!

How will His Highness Shasilis deal with him then?

We can only pray for magnanimity and find a priest to purify the evil in his body and give him a chance to live.

At that time, no matter what agreement was made with the demons, it would disappear with the demons' reduction to ashes.

Anyway, Celia was also bewitched by the devil, but wasn't she fine in the end?

Then he asked in a deep voice:

"You've fought with Farrow. What kind of talent did he awaken?"

This is very important information.

All the nobles are still waiting and watching. If Faro's qualifications are really stronger than Will's, then even if His Highness Shasilis wants to kill him, he will encounter a lot of resistance.

——His Majesty the Emperor and the Court of Inquisition will not let a genius die in vain in such a farce.

Will burst out laughing as if he had heard a huge joke.

"Faro's talent? Hahahaha."

"If using a magic rifle and sword can be called a magical talent."

"He was dodging my magic like a mouse the whole time. Faro didn't cast a single spell! I doubt he even awakened his talent."

"The humiliation he inflicted on me in the hotel was just a trick he played. He can't beat me at all. The gap between Faro and my strength is greater than the gap between the Weeping Abyss and Rotha Peak!"

“If I could fight him one more time, he would be crushed under my feet in less than ten seconds!

Chapter 56 Larvae

"Then how did he end up in jail?"

Wade couldn't believe it.

It has been rumored among the nobles that Faro has awakened a talent such as space or time magic, and there are even many noble scholars who are seriously analyzing it.

He believed that even if Faro's strength was not as strong as Will's, it was comparable.

Otherwise, how would he be qualified to join the Night Hunters, and where did he get the arrogance to confront Will?

But according to Will himself...

"Are you sure Faro didn't use a bit of magic?"

Weide was worried and confirmed it again and again.

Will snorted.

"The reason why he was able to hold out against me for so long was because he relied purely on enchanted weapons, armor, and physical skills to hold out."

"Faro himself said that he was a waste. This is one of the few self-awareness he has."

Then, Will's eyes turned cold.

"It was the red-haired Night Hunter who really defeated me, not Farrow."

"That red-haired woman is very strong, at least at the sixth level."

"Faro's strength is at most level one or two. He poses no threat at all. I could clearly sense that everything he did at that time was to delay the arrival of that red-haired woman."

"If it comes to a one-on-one duel, the advantage is definitely mine."

At this point, everything is clear.

Farrow's true strength had worried Weide for a long time. He was afraid that if Farrow was really a genius, then the news would definitely reach the ears of His Majesty the Emperor.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a clown pretending to be a ghost.

Weed couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, chuckling and shaking his head.

"I really let this kid deceive me for so long."

"I will spread this news tomorrow. With this public opinion, His Highness Shasilis will surely be very happy."

"Are we still following the same public opinion process as in the previous times?"

Will has always been a member of the Shasilis faction, and therefore has done many shady things for him.

He was responsible for all the rumors that Claire was cold-blooded, unforgivable, and even had an immoral private life.

Of course, Shasilis not only asked him to spread these rumors, but he also suggested to the Second Prince the rumor that 'Faro and Claire were having an affair'.

Such rumors could put Faro on the spot and teach this ignorant boy a lesson.

"Just like last time, contact the aristocratic clubs in the city and spread the news."

After discussing these.

Wade added:

"His Highness sent a letter saying that he has sent several important figures from the imperial capital to come. Let them handle the rest."

"After the matter is accomplished, His Highness will let me sit safely on the earl's throne. He does not need a disobedient head of the Walsh family."

Weed's deep voice made Will feel more at ease.

"Don't go out again tonight."

"For safety reasons, you should sleep in the study first."

Wade pointed to the single bed in the corner of the study.

"I will keep the maids and servants away from the study for the next two days. Once the important people from the imperial capital arrive, you will be safe."

Then Wade explained some more things and went back to sleep.

...

Later in the night.

All sounds are silent.

Will climbed out of bed.

There was a faint purple light in his eyes, which looked a little weird.

The pitch-black darkness seemed to be no obstacle for him. He nimbly climbed through the window and then walked through the night.

He lied to Weed.

In fact, the price of his deal with the demon clone was not five years of life at all.

It spreads pollution.

And because the clone has just hatched, it is still very weak and needs to devour souls to grow.

So since the day Will escaped from prison, he would go out late at night to look for prey and devour its soul.

The 'more power' that the young moth promised to give him was just the conversion of part of the soul into his power.

The secret art of exchanging human lives for power has violated the empire's magic agreement.

But Will didn't mind at all.

After he devoured a streetwalker last night, Will could truly feel the growth of his own strength.
