Vol 4 Chapter 15 “Dark Emperor” Solitaire (Part 2)

“Good morning, busy Mr. Grelint.”

She lowered her voice and said hello with an interesting smile.

Grelint was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled wryly when he saw the darkness outside the window. He concentrated on his writing work, but he forgot one thing:

Today is Monday, the day of the extraordinary gathering in the “Golden Age” bar, and last week he commissioned “artisans” to make magical items for himself. If nothing else, it should have been made by now.

Forget it, just wait until next week to pick it up.

He took another look at Carol, who was leaning against the door frame, and returned the same greeting:

“Good morning, beautiful Miss Carroll.”

After he finished speaking, he couldn’t help himself, and laughed first.

Never heard such a hello!

“Come and sit first.”

Under normal circumstances, it would be disrespectful to let a girl sit on the edge of a man’s bed, so he hurriedly cleaned up the messy tabletop, gave up the leather stool he was sitting on, and retreated to the edge of the bed – but In fact, being alone with a young lady late at night, letting an unmarried lady come to her sleeping room to discuss business… these are not polite enough, appropriate enough things.

He hadn’t realized that even if the manners of ordinary people were not so suitable for Extraordinary, his relationship with Carroll had clearly surpassed that of ordinary friends.

Carroll smiled slyly and said in a low voice:

“Borrow your ‘twist’.”

Saying that, she grabbed Grelint with her slender hand wrapped around the long chain, twisting her wrist, “stealing” Grelint’s extraordinary ability “Twist”. Afterwards, she fastened the curtain door with her backhand, and twisted her action to become “closed”.

She had seen Grelint do this before, so this set of moves was smooth and natural.

Normally, even in Sequence 4, after a qualitative change, the skill of “stealing” can only be used on other Beyonders, but she can only choose one of the three, but she is familiar enough with Grelint’s Beyonder ability, plus He told me in advance, so with Grelint’s tacit approval, he got the “twist” he needed in one go.

“Is there anything urgent?”

Looking at the blond girl sitting down in the closed room, Grelint asked curiously.

She shook her head:

“No, I just don’t want to disturb them.”

It turned out to be the case, Grelint was stunned, but he had to admit that girls were still much more careful than men.

Just thinking about it, he saw the girl busy, moved the small table over and placed it between the leather stool and the edge of the bed, and said again:

“Aphra left us some food. I’ve kept it warm. You should eat something first.”

If you read the letter and reply again, and deal with the thought that has just been interrupted, it will be endless.

us? So you haven’t eaten yet?

Grelint nodded thoughtfully, helped the girl clean up the table, watched her stretch out a hand, and took out the sliced ​​roast lamb shank, dried vegetable soup, and fine wheat cake from nowhere. , they were still steaming hot.

Talking and laughing, the two spent this unique dining time.

If it weren’t for this time, this place was wrong, this would be a normal scene.

After “dinner”, Carol packed up the tableware and did not leave immediately, but smiled and pointed to the papers that Grelint worked hard at:

“Can I see the results of your day’s work?”

She noticed that Grelint simply put the papers aside before, and did not hide her intentions. And she thinks that Grelint should read the letter just now, and maybe even reply, so it won’t bother him…

“Uh, no problem.”

In fact, it was written from four in the afternoon until now.

Grelint was stunned for a moment, as if she did not expect that she would make such a request.

However, he originally planned to publish these things in the newspaper, of course there is no need to conceal them, besides:

“If you can, you can help me correct some grammar mistakes or use words, and give me some advice, that would be even better.”

“However, my manuscript is only half completed at present.”

The girl’s beautiful eyes moved slightly, nodded happily, and spit out a word briefly and forcefully:

“it is good.”

…

Carol clarified the order of the manuscripts according to the page numbers marked by Grelint, and read with a heart.

At the same time, Grelint also opened the envelope…

…

Maric’s reply was very clear, Sharon was indeed in an extraordinary party, and had some contact with a strong person with sufficient knowledge of the occult.

After consultation, the two of them gave two options:

The first is to give the way to join the extraordinary party, and let Grelint communicate with the party convenor himself.

Second, it is for Sharon to truthfully report the situation of Grelint to the strong man, and it is up to her to decide whether to see him or not.

Grelint chose the second method, but he was not sure whether the “prophecy” he made up by pretending to be a ghost could attract Bernadette, the “Master of Prophecy”, so after thinking for a while, he mentioned it again. In a word, my own affairs are related to a tarot card “Emperor”.

This must be enough to attract Bernadette, because all the profanity cards are made by her father.

But Sharon and Maric would not have guessed anything, because the tarot card is a mysterious element, and Bernadette is also an expert in mysticism. Without knowing the name of the Sequence 0 “Dark Emperor” , No one will think directly in the direction of “blasphemous cards” as soon as they see that the Tarot cards are involved.

The reason for having Sharon help to contact the “Queen of Mysteries” instead of going to that party on her own is:

Items at the demigod level, whether they are materials or properties, or potion formulas and magical items, are mostly in the hands of various large organizations. Lelint was also reluctant to waste time.

Anyway, he firmly believed that the clues he gave would definitely attract Bernadette, so it didn’t matter who contacted him.

After asking Monroe to send a reply to the original address, Grelint waited for Carroll to finish reading half of his article.

…

In this first article, the core of Grelint is to clarify his own definition of each class. Of course, in order to make it clearer, he introduced the words “surplus value” and “exploitation” that were not originally or have different meanings. , and made a certain explanation, starting from the actual situation, demonstrating that they exist objectively… At present, he has only completed the most basic part, that is, sorting out the definitions of each concept.

“How about it?”

“Are there any logical or grammatical errors?”

Grelint didn’t expect Carroll to understand his thoughts or even make suggestions after reading it once. He mainly hoped that the other party would look at his expression from a different perspective.

“Uh…”

Carol was stunned.

She also thought that what Grelin wrote were simple stories, or narrative texts such as travel experiences. Even if it was a little exaggerated, it was at most the works of a certain artistic quality from the drama script… I didn’t expect it to be difficult and complicated. Academic articles, which caused her to basically focus all her energy on understanding those concepts, and not pay much attention to the expression of the article.

“…I think it’s too serious.”

She nodded affirmatively.

“Well, not interesting enough to attract readers.”

This is nonsense, academic articles are not impossible to write very interesting, but almost all authors, in order to ensure the seriousness of the article, do not intersperse too many things that arouse the reader’s emotions, because that will hinder the reader’s calm thinking.

For example, when you were discussing the exploitation of female textile workers by textile factory owners, you suddenly said that the 89-year-old grandma in your colleague Susan’s family was not so harsh on the donkeys she raised… In this case, the purpose of arousing emotions has been achieved. But it will disrupt the reader’s mind and prevent him from receiving your point of view effectively.

Grelint silently patted his forehead:

“My innocent and kind Miss Carroll, this is not something to make people laugh and attract others’ attention… This is a great existence’s thinking about the entire human society, and it is destined to cause world turmoil.”

After bluffing Carroll, he said helplessly:

“Forget it, it’s so late anyway, you’d better go to rest first.”

His words have been as soft as possible, and there is basically no harm.

But Carol still felt a little ashamed for no reason. She felt as if she couldn’t keep up with Grelint’s footsteps, and was disliked by him…

“Oh fine.”

…

“I don’t know when Miss Sharon will be able to contact Bernadette.”

After the “Howler” characteristic was embedded in the ring by Yuno, he actually no longer needed to find Bernadette, and asked her to contact Bonova Gustave to make a magical item for himself… “Dark Emperor” card pair For him, it is also not a must-have. The most precious thing is actually the potion formula above, but Grelint has no need for that knowledge now.

Not to mention “0-05”, whoever holds that thing is better than him.

Anyway, no one can unlock the seal of Tianzun at present, and no one will send him to the starry sky, so that he has the opportunity to hook up with the source and break the seal.

On the other hand, if you are impatient, you can sacrifice it directly to the “Order World”. At that time, the “Deng Shen” will like to improve the source quality, get rid of the seal on the spot, and restore the “Son of Chaos” status…even It is also possible to use Grelint’s ** and his clone Anxi’s ** as a vessel of divine descent to do things directly on Earth, because he and Grelint’s souls are born from the same source.

…

Therefore, Grelint contacting “Queen of Mysteries” was not actually for a transaction. He had another purpose. The “Dark Emperor” card was just an excuse to fool or win Bernadette’s trust.

Of course, that card can be used to aggregate the things of this pathway, and it is not completely useless to Grelint. And as a spell-casting tool, it should also be used to improve the personality of his Beyonder ability… In general, the card that he, a Beyonder of this pathway, is definitely more useful than Klein.

“It’s just that he has one less ‘clothing’ and less opportunities to pretend to be forceful. It shouldn’t matter, right?”

“Anyway, he still has the ‘Azk Bronze Whistle’ as a reinforcement for his spiritual body.”

After sending away the sullen Carroll, Grelint sorted out his half-afternoon and half-night results, thought about something, and slowly fell asleep.

“Brother Shen!”

“Um!”

Shen Changqing was walking on the road, and when he met someone he knew, he would say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who.

Everyone’s face has no superfluous expressions, as if they are very indifferent to everything.

to this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Ministry of Suppression, it is an organization that maintains the stability of Daqin. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.

It can be said.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone had a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The town magic department is very big.

Those who can stay in the Town Demon Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two occupations, one is the guardian envoy and the other is the demon slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts from the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then he was promoted step by step, and finally he was expected to become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing’s predecessor was a trainee slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest-ranked slayer.

Has the memory of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Town Demon Division.

It didn’t take too long, Shen Changqing stopped in front of an attic.

Different from other places full of chills in the Demon Suppression Division, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, showing a different tranquility in the **** Suppression Demon Division.

At this time, the door to the attic was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing just hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside.

Enter the attic.

Circumstances have changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood rushed towards his face, causing his brows to instinctively wrinkle, but then quickly stretched.

There is almost no way to clean the **** smell on everyone in the Zhen Mosi.
