But Edward was not very happy in his heart. The matter of "Adam's death" still weighed heavily on his heart, making him feel oppressive and like a storm was coming, but he could do nothing. .E,Z!暁¨税\犯/ \啾/譆.罪￠全-
Occasionally, he even thought of using Klein to make another sacrifice to go to the God-Forsaken Land and ask in person. But when he thought of Amon, who was like a plague god, and the "Adam Creator" with an unclear attitude, he had to give up - to avoid seeking death.
Just as he was thinking about this, Edward's spirit moved, and he felt some kind of prayer coming from the Scepter of Poseidon. This was different from the unconscious praises and prayers of the natives of Rorsted, and it carried an obvious intention to communicate.
The rebels brought news that they had discovered Roy King's location, in the Governor's Mansion in Bayam.
Edward was startled. Didn't I just go to the Governor's Mansion to confirm it this morning? Was my divination wrong at that time, or was Roy King arrested and taken to the Governor's Mansion after I left?
No matter which one it is, you have to make another trip.
...
Bayam, in the dungeon of the Governor's Mansion.
Klein looked at the two men in front of him and pretended to be aloof.
He had immediately learned their identities from his secretary Lu Er'an. The gentleman with glasses was Roy King from the School of Life mentioned last night, and the fat man was his disciple.
"This fat guy..."
Klein pondered, "It seems to be the pharmacist I met at the Extraordinary Party before. Why did he come to Bayam?"
After spending a few brief moments together, Klein felt that although this fat pharmacist had a mean mouth, he had a good heart. Perhaps he could be considered a good person? Then the teacher who trained him shouldn't be a bad person, right?
So, judging from this incident alone, Admiral Amyrius...that is, me, should be considered a villain, but why did I, a villain, capture them?
There is no mention of this in the information left by Amyrius.
Fortunately, he had accumulated enough experience in this area when he played Mr. Fool before. Klein looked down at the master and apprentice with his hands behind his back and said in a calm voice:
"Go ahead. I'm going to tell you everything."
say what?
The fat pharmacist Darkwill was a little confused and quickly looked to the teacher for help.
Roy King looked at Klein calmly and said, "I have already given the things to my teacher. Haven't you all been searched?"
thing?
What?
Klein wanted to ask, but he couldn't.
So he naturally turned his gaze to Lu Er'an. He immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Excellency Admiral, we did search them and the area around where they were hiding. All the suspicious items are here."
As he spoke, he carried a box to Klein and put it down.
Klein's heart moved. Judging from the words of the blond secretary, he didn't seem to know what Admiral Amyrius was looking for.
"By the way, according to our later investigation, Roy King's disciples previously had a pet owl. We did not see the owl when we captured them."
Klein nodded and looked coldly at the fat pharmacist. His left hand behind his back was quietly stained with a layer of golden color.
"Creeping Hunger" switched to the "Interrogator" soul!
Deep in his eyes, two flashes of light appeared and disappeared, completely overlapping with the figure of the fat pharmacist. With the help of the spiritual pressure brought by "spiritual piercing", Klein spoke in a low voice like the real Admiral Amyrius:
"Where is the stuff?"
The fat pharmacist's body trembled suddenly, and he felt as if his spirit was being held by a sharp dagger and could be pierced at any time, so he subconsciously replied: "It...it..."
But before he could say it, he hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at his teacher Roy King in panic, only to find that he nodded at him: "Speak, you can't hide it."
The fat pharmacist breathed a sigh of relief: "It was taken away by my pet owl, but... I don't know where it flew to now."
Klein looked at Lu Er'an. The blond secretary immediately understood and said seriously, "I will have someone search the entire city right away.¨3￠8+k+a·n+s\h·u′.*n!e\t-"
"Well, take them away and detain them first."
"Yes, Your Excellency Admiral."
Lu Er'an waved his hand and ordered several soldiers to take Roy King and his apprentice back to the cell. Facing these ordinary soldiers, Roy King, who was at Sequence 5, could certainly break free easily, but he did not resist at all - he did not want to face the wrath of a demigod.
If Klein knew what Roy King was thinking at this moment, he would definitely give him a thumbs up: Thank goodness you didn't resist, if you had resisted... hey~ you would be surprised to find that I am a fake!
Klein carried the box into a room and opened it. He found that there were only some bottles and jars, dozens of pennies that even he didn't care about, and some nuts. There was nothing with any mysterious power.
Although it didn't think the fat pharmacist was lying, it still divined everything one by one and still found no problems.
"hiss--"
Klein rubbed his temple. He didn't care whether he could find what Admiral Amyrius wanted, but he had to at least know what Admiral Amyrius was looking for, right? Otherwise, who knew if he would be exposed because of this?
"The things are not here, put them away first."
After Klein finished speaking, he walked out of the room, gave an order to Lu Er'an at the door, and then left the cell first.
As soon as I returned to the door of the study, a beautiful lady in home dress came to greet me. She was probably in her early twenties, full of feminine beauty and a bit of girlishness. She was Admiral Amyrius' mistress.
Klein's heartstrings suddenly tightened. Often, the person who knows a person best is often his or her bedmate. They may even know how many moles you have on your butt, and of course they know your every move better.
"General."
She walked forward and said apologetically, "I'm sorry I couldn't be with you last night."
Klein suppressed his inner discomfort and let a smile appear on Amyrius' serious face: "It's okay, just take good care of your injuries in the next few days. I've asked someone to catch all the rats nearby, so you don't have to be afraid anymore."
"Thank you, General."
The girl threw herself into his arms, stood on tiptoe, and whispered with her cheek touching his: "I knew you were good to me."
She then took Klein's arm and walked into the study with him, asking in a low voice, "General, who was the person who came to the Governor's Mansion to catch mice yesterday?"
"I don't know either. Lu Er'an went out to look for it."
"oh."
She helped Klein sit down on the sofa, then walked behind him and gently touched the top of his head with her soft fingers. The tingling sensation made Klein feel relaxed and happy.
Tsk, use this to test the old cadres.
Klein slowly closed his eyes and began to enjoy it.
"Admiral, are you still strong enough?"
"Um."
"You seem to be under a lot of pressure recently?"
"fine."
"Unfortunately, I can't help you."
"That's good."
"Admiral..."
Her fingers slowly slid down Klein's cheek, gently caressing his cheek. Her body leaned forward and pressed softly on Klein's head. "I want... to have a child with you."
"…"
Klein's eyes, which had just been closed for a short while, suddenly opened.
He grabbed the girl's hand and said calmly, "Okay."
"Really?" She was suddenly happy.
"But we need to wait for this period of time. As you can see, I have some important things to do recently."
The girl's happiness froze, and she pursed her lips and said, "But you said that half a year ago."
Well.
Klein was speechless for a while. It seemed that the admiral deliberately didn't want to have a child with this mistress. However, he still smiled and said, "This time, it will be a for sure."
"But..."
Before she could finish, the blond secretary Lu Er'an rushed over with an anxious look on his face: "General... those two people were just kidnapped!"
"What?!"
Klein stood up suddenly and said, "Take me there!"
After saying this, he ignored the resentment on his mistress's face and quickly followed Lu Er'an out of the study.
The girl looked at the back of "Amyrius" and sighed faintly: "Ah - great mother tree of desire, what should I do?"
When she woke up this morning, she found that her necklace was missing. She searched the whole house but couldn't find it. She knew very well that with her status, no one except the admiral would dare to break into her room without her permission - except outsiders.
And yesterday there happened to be a few "outsiders" who came to the Governor's Mansion to catch mice, right?... I was sleepy and fell asleep at that time, and those kids broke into my room and took away the necklace?
Once this suspicion arose in her mind, it could never be dispelled.
This is what is meant by suspecting your neighbor of stealing your axe.
"No, it was given to me by the great Mother Tree of Desire to help me conceive the general's child... I must... I must get it back."
She murmured something, left the study, and walked towards the door of the Governor's Mansion.
...
What does Isabella really want?
In fact, Lilith had already figured out what the other children were all about. They just wanted to have enough food, a warm sleep, a place to live, and stop wandering.
What about Isabella?
It seemed that she wanted more than that.
When the house collapsed, the other children cried because they were afraid. They were afraid that they would become homeless children again and live in fear of their own future.
Although Isabella didn't cry, her emotions revealed some despair, as if... she had finally woken up from a dream and had to face reality again.
These are what Lilith saw and felt with her own eyes - this is the ability she gained after becoming an instigator: the ability to perceive changes in other people's emotions more keenly, which makes it easier for her to instigate.
So why did Isabella despair?
She brought me, Alisa and the others with her, and did her best to ensure that we didn't go hungry. We lived together in a shabby house, and every time we ate, we would sit around the dining table, put out the plates, and try our best to create a homely feeling...
So, what she wants is actually "home"?
Chapter 440 Photos and Skirts
But, if the house collapses, we can still move to another place. We are still a family. Why should we despair?
House = home?
Lilith sat at the window, with a lot of doubts in her little head, "I really want to know.?幻.想-姬, \耕+薪,最_全*"
"Dice! Give me back the dice! I want to save people!"
Mr. Harry the owl hooted again, and Lilith reached out and held its mouth, glaring at it and said, "If you make noises at me again, I'm going to roast you!"
Mr. Harry struggled, "You took my dice!"
"That's compensation!"
Lilith looked back at the bathroom, where Isabella was taking a bath with Alisa.
Then he whispered, "The reason why the house suddenly collapsed just now was because of this dice that brought bad luck, right?"
"…"
Mr. Harry was stunned and shut his mouth.
"Ms. Lilith is no fool!"
Lilith raised her chin and snorted, "I didn't say that just now because I didn't want to make Isabella and the others sad!"
"But, but..."
Mr. Harry was so anxious that he kept scratching his head with his wings. He was clearly in the audience's state. He analyzed that this child was a little naive and scheming, but not very intelligent. How come... he suddenly became so smart?
Lilith suddenly had the jewelry box in her hand. She shook it gently and said, "So, it's compensation!"
Every time she shook, the sound hit Mr. Harry's heart hard. He spread his wings and flew away in a hurry, fearing that bad luck would come and implicate him: "Oh, please don't shake it. If you shake it even a little bit, it will be fatal!"
Lilith stopped and opened the jewelry box, "No, look!"
The number in the jewelry box still remains at 5.
"Huh?"
At this moment, a person passing by the window startled Lilith. She quickly propped up her hands and poked her head out: "That person..."
I have seen it!
I saw it when I caught a mouse for the first time.
And...that's Isabella's photo!
He is the man in the photo, Isabella's father!
"Sure enough! I said I couldn't be wrong!"
Lilith turned around and was about to go to the bathroom to tell Isabella, but she stopped after running two steps, "What if they just look alike? How disappointed she would be... Well, I better go and ask first!"
Thinking of this, she walked out quickly, "I'm going out for a while." - If she could help Isabella find her father, she could go home, and she would definitely be very happy!
Mr. Harry also hurried after him.
Lilith didn't know how to use a divination stick, nor did she master the spell to find people, but she still retained some of her cat's sense of smell, so after some effort she finally found the direction in which the man had left.
"What are you going to do?"
Mr. Harry asked, flapping his wings.
"Help Isabella find her father."
"ah?"
After running three or four streets, I finally saw the man in front of me again.
"Hey, stop!"
Lilith rushed forward and stood in front of the man.
This is a man with typical Rune appearance, in his thirties, tall and handsome.
Facing the children blocking the road, he thought they were the indigenous children who wanted money again, but Lilith's outfit didn't look like that, so he was a little confused: "What's the matter, little guy?"
"Are you...are you from Loen?"
"Yes. !7!6\k+s′./n¨e?t\"
"Do you live in Backlund?"
"That's right."
"So, do you have a daughter?"
The man nodded again, "What's wrong?"
Lilith smiled brightly when she heard this, "I know where your daughter is. I'll take you to see her!"
"ah?"
The man was suddenly confused.
"Isabella!"
Lilith quickly took out the photo and handed it to the man, "Look, this is your photo!"
The man took the photo and was obviously stunned. After a few seconds, he asked in a deep voice: "...Where is she?"
...
Inside the hotel, Isabella and Alisa washed themselves, put on their worn-out clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.
"You are too thin, Alisa. You must eat more in the future!"
"oh."
"Humph, when dad comes to pick me up to go to Backlund, I will definitely feed you until you are tall and fat!"
Isabella now looked towards the two boys dozing in the room, "Where's Lilith?"
"He just ran out in a hurry, as if there was something urgent."
"Then why aren't any of you following her? Letting a little kid like her run around?"
Bit scratched his head. "I wanted to follow her, but she ran too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye." He lowered his voice. "Lilith is a little witch. She will be okay, right?"
"That's why it's even more dangerous!"
Isabella glared at him, turned around and walked out: "Come on, go out with me to find her."
As soon as she reached the door, she saw Lilith running back with a look of joy on her face, followed by a tall man.
"Isabella, look who I have brought here!"
"What?"
She was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the man who was getting closer and closer. She was confused at first, then her expression suddenly turned pale, and deep fear flashed in her pupils.
"You...what's wrong with you?"
Isabella's reaction made Lilith a little surprised. This... didn't look like a happy expression.
"She is afraid and terrified. She wants to escape from here..."
Mr. Harry's voice rang in Lilith's ears.
Why? Why do you feel scared when you see your dad?
At this time, the man walked up to Isabella with a smile on her face, "I heard that you disappeared after your mother died. I was a little worried."
Isabella's face became paler and paler. She pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers and stared at the man blankly without saying a word.
"you..."
"You got the wrong person!"
Isabella suddenly shouted, "I don't know you!"
She tried to push the man away and run away like crazy, but he easily grabbed her neck and pulled her up: "Are you the one who told everyone that I'm your father?"
The man held up the photo and said, "While I was taking care of your mother's business, you stole the photo from my wallet and passed it off as a photo of your own family?"
Isabella struggled: "Let me go, let me go!"
"And this skirt, I bought it specifically for my daughter, and you stole it when I went to the bathroom. Not only did you lie, you also stole things! You are just like your mother who is a prostitute!"
Isabella's pupils trembled, and she murmured, "No, no, this is a gift from my father. This is..."
Sizzle!
The man easily tore open the long dress that he regarded as a treasure. "I bought this for my daughter! It's not something that someone like you can wear. Give it back to me!"
Just as he was about to peel the skirt off Isabella, a white light suddenly hit his head and the man fell straight to the ground.
Isabella also fell to the ground, and the three frightened children rushed over: "Isabella!"
But she pushed them away, then ran outside with her head down.
The torn skirt hung behind her, revealing her scarred back.
"Isabella!"
The three children shouted and chased after him.
Lilith held the wand, her face pale - she knew she seemed to have done something wrong, and she was completely terrified.
Mr. Harry said at this time.
"Well...if you don't chase him out now, you won't be able to find the child soon."
As night fell, the crimson moonlight poured through the clouds, casting a layer of light red gauze.
The ruins of a dilapidated house.
Isabella slumped on the ground, looking ahead quietly.
The other three children stood behind her, looking at her with uneasy expressions, and no one dared to speak.
After a while, Lilith and Mr. Harry arrived. She looked worried and said carefully, "Yes, I'm sorry, Isabella."
Isabella's voice was weak.
"You all know now..."
"You know... everything I told you was... all lies I made up."
