Time passes day by day.

Quill's mood was getting worse day by day.

Seven days had passed since the death of the caregiver he sent out, but Sean's body was not found at the scene, which meant that he was still alive. Quill still couldn't understand how a weak otaku writer could kill more than 20 armed witch hunters?

Is it just relying on the pitiful magic power of rank one?

Makes no sense.

But there was no one else except Sean, and even if Quill didn't want to believe it, he had to accept this fact.

He felt like he was slapped hard in the face by Sean, which made him very annoyed.

What was even more difficult for him to accept was that Sean showed signs of getting out of his control.

He had asked someone to investigate, but for seven days, there had been no news about Sean's whereabouts. It was as if this guy had evaporated from the world overnight and there was no trace of him anywhere.

Until the eighth day.

Quill's mood finally improved.

Because a nurse pushed open the door of his office.

"Dr. Quill, there's news."

"explain."

"On the 1st of next month, Sean will be attending his book signing in Old Siegel City."

……

Chapter 22 Lord Black Lives Forever!

"Who told you that?"

"He said it himself. It's a reader group announcement."

"You said it yourself?"

Quill was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Okay, very good."

Knowing that he would be besieged if discovered by them, he still dared to take the initiative to show up for the book signing event, just like knowing that he might die if he found the Fountain of Enlightenment, Sean still went to the Black Fruit Rainforest - does this writer seem to want to repeat the same trick?

He liked Sean's courage.

"It is also possible that he was deliberately deceiving us, trying to divert our attention and hide his true location." The caregiver expressed his opinion.

The source of the news is reliable, and some of them are lurking among Sean's readers, but can Sean's words be trusted...

Hard to say.

This man is cunning.

"It doesn't matter. If he doesn't go to the book signing event, we will just keep looking for him. My mood will continue to get worse. For me personally, this is indeed not good news, but for our hospital, there won't be any unnecessary losses." Sean's appearance made Quill in a very good mood. He rarely spoke a few more words to his men. "But if he really dares to go, this time, I will make it impossible for him to escape."

"I believe he will go."

The person who knows you best is often not your friend, but your enemy. Although Quill and Sean had little contact and had only met once in total, Sean's calmness and decisiveness that time left a deep impression on him.

To some extent, Sean is also a madman. The way he acts is very different from other patients in the hospital. The more dangerous it is, the more he may want to try it, because the greater the risk, the higher the reward. Quill believes that Sean has the courage to go to the book signing event for someone who is not afraid of exchanging his life with the enemy.

"Who should we send this time?" asked the nurse.

The annihilation of Winster and others has proved to them that ordinary witch hunters and guns and ammunition do not pose much threat to Sean, and they must increase the dosage of the medicine to save this stubborn patient.

"No one."

Quill stared at the empty cage hanging by the window, the glass reflecting his sick smile.

"This time, I'll go myself."

……

……

Old Siegel City.

At this time, Sean was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, with his head down, and walking quickly among the crowd.

It took him two days to get out of the black fruit rain forest, and another two days to stop a couple's car on the road and politely ask them to give him a ride to the border of West Laker State. Then he found a black car for smuggling and came to Old Siegel City.

There were still five days until the book signing on the 1st, and it didn't matter whether Quill could have guessed that he would come earlier.

Because he has a "bodyguard".

Today is exactly one week since the great Mr. Black gave Kate his instructions.

Sean had rented a house in Old Siegel for a period of time before and was quite familiar with the city. He first found a motel and booked a room to solve the accommodation problem for the next few days.

Before leaving Holkodu, Sean went to the bank and withdrew all his savings. Although he didn't have much left because of the mortgage payment, he should be able to save a little and hold out until the 15th of next month when the royalties are paid - if Quill didn't find someone to freeze his bank card.

One of the reasons he chose a motel was that it was cheap and more cost-effective than a hotel. More importantly, he didn’t need an ID card, which reduced the risk of being discovered.

The receptionist was a skinny girl with a rose tattoo on her hand. Seeing that Sean was handsome, she gave him a discount, 80 yuan a night, with breakfast included, and handed him a small card with a sexy girl printed on it, and said seductively, "Please call me in the evening~"

Sean expressed no interest: "I don't need service."

Girl: "Then I'll call you. I need it."

Sean: "?"

He decided to lock the door at night using the Truth Spell.

Under the girl's possessive gaze, Sean left the motel with a wooden face and took a taxi to the eastern suburbs.

Instead of asking the driver to leave the city directly, he got off the car in the city and walked to the abandoned factory by himself.

This was the address he left for Kate.

This area has been abandoned for many years and few people come here usually. This means that once you are seen, you will easily become a target of suspicion and it will be difficult to get rid of if you are being followed. Therefore, this place is not very suitable for meeting and delivery. It is far inferior to places with high traffic such as train stations or pedestrian streets. Sean could imagine Kate's cautious look as she looked back every three steps when she came here.

After all, he did the same thing himself.

And this is exactly the effect Sean wanted.

If two strangers meet in a crowded train station, it may be accidental, but if they meet in an abandoned factory with no one around, it is inevitable, which can save a lot of meaningless conversations and make people think more deeply. In addition, a relatively closed environment with no one around can also bring more security to the stronger party.

As Sean expected, Kate came cautiously.

This was the first time he met Kate in person, and he discovered that this guy's acting skills were extraordinary.

Kate was wearing sunglasses, a scarf, and a cowboy-like jacket. She was dragging a suitcase behind her. She looked around as she walked, and stopped to think from time to time, just like a tourist from outside the city who had just arrived in Old Siegel and was lost.

This confusing behavior continued as he "groped" his way into the factory and saw Sean, who was also wrapped tightly and wearing a mask.

"!"

Kate was shocked.

There is someone else in this place?

Sean was also shocked.

Flames subconsciously appeared in the palm of my hand.

Almost at the same time as Kate:

"Who are you?!"

"Why are you here?"

The two men looked at each other with alert eyes.

Kate noticed Sean's hand movements and said in a cold voice: "Are you a wizard?"

But Sean's voice became even colder, and his tone even carried a hint of murderous intent: "Aren't you?"

If someone knows about wizards but is not a wizard, then he can only be a witch hunter.

Sean made his position clear in one sentence.

Kate's mind raced. When she saw Sean, her first reaction was that the news had leaked out, but when she thought about it carefully, that wasn't the case.

Lord Black specifically emphasized that he should do it personally, implying that he didn't want others to know, so he didn't tell anyone about this, including his teacher Adev.

No one else knew the location except Lord Black and himself.

Lord Black had no reason to harm him, and even if he really wanted to, he would not send Sean - when Sean took the initiative to display his magic power, Kate could see at a glance that Sean was just a first-level newborn wizard, while he had already reached the fifth level and had the unique title of "Servant of Light". There was no one else here, and if a fight really broke out, Sean would only be a useless person, and would not be able to escape from his hands.

But if Sean is not an enemy but a ally, then what is he doing here?

Is it...

"Were you also sent by Lord Black?"

Sean was slightly stunned: "Also?"

Seeing his reaction, Kate knew that she had guessed correctly. He was quite good at judging people, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Put away your magic. My name is Kate, you should have heard of me."

Sean was shocked: "Kate? The Light Servant who can enter the second floor of the temple?"

Kate took off her sunglasses and puffed out her chest proudly: "Yes, it's me."

Misunderstanding resolved.

The flame in Sean's hand went out, and Kate asked him, "Can you tell me what Lord Black asked you to do?"

He was wondering if the materials in his suitcase should be given to Sean?

Sean hesitated and replied, "I don't know either."

"Don't you know your own business?" Kate asked curiously. She thought Sean was still on guard, so she simply said, "I'm a straightforward person. Don't mind me."

"With my rank, if I wanted to kill you, you would have been dead when we met, and you wouldn't be standing now. Or I could capture you and use mind magic to slowly elicit a confession if I wanted to know something. I wouldn't have to worry about you lying. There's no need for me to waste my time telling you all this."

The main reason is that his mission may be related to Sean, otherwise he wouldn't bother asking so many questions.

"Of course, if Lord Black asks you not to reveal it, you don't have to say it," Kate said.

"That's not the case." Sean seemed to be convinced by him. He sorted out his words and said, "Actually, it wasn't Lord Black who asked me to do anything this time. I encountered something myself and went to Lord Black to pray. That's why he asked me to come here today."

Got into some trouble?

"What is it?" Kate asked.

"I've been targeted by a doctor named Quill from the Flores Hospital in Holkodu," Sean explained. "I'm a writer and I have a book signing on the 1st of next month. I might be in danger."

"Then why don't you just not go?" Kate asked inexplicably, "Which is more important, money or life? I don't need to tell you, right?"

"No, I have to go. It's not about the money." Sean said seriously, "The book I wrote is called The Moon and the Knight. Although I did some dramatic processing to make the story more interesting, it is still essentially a biography that records the magnificent and great life of Lord Black."

Sean said firmly, "You may not know that Lord Black has always been my belief. Even if the era of Erudite is over, this will not change."

"I will not forget him, and none of us should forget him, because without him, there would be no empire today."

"I don't expect everyone to see the truth of history and remember Lord Black's name, but I will still work hard for it."

"Faith will not be defeated by danger. On the contrary, it will only make me more determined. The more the enemy opposes, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing. Even if one day I really die and am nailed in the coffin, I will shout out in this rotten voice in the grave——"

"Lord Black lives forever!"

This not only refers to Carl Black himself, but also to a spirit that dares to resist the oppression of the witch-hunting movement. Sean became more and more excited as he spoke, and his strong emotions surged like a tide, surrounding Kate, making his eyes red. He thought to himself, what a true expression of emotion? ?

Isn't he also Carl Black's most staunch supporter?

It turned out that there were people in this world who, like him, regarded Lord Black as their lifelong belief.

Looking at Sean's fearless eyes, Kate understood.

Sean was not representing himself at the book signing event this time, but Lord Black.

He finally figured out why the instructions given to him by Lord Black were so simple, because those materials were not the point at all. What Lord Black really wanted was his position.

It is a firm attitude like Sean, who knows that the road is full of dangers, but still strides forward regardless of the consequences!

"I understand!" Kate's eyes gradually became enthusiastic, as if something was burning inside. He said to Sean, "In five days, you can go to your book signing event. I will be by your side the whole time."

"Quail?"

"If he dares to touch you, I will make sure he never returns!"

Okay, done.
