Amid the steam of the industrial revolution, mysteries surge beneath the surface. Cults and secret societies seek the extraordinary in the shadows, while hidden gods gaze upon humanity from the hea...
Sitting on her bed, Salia spoke excitedly while looking at the words appearing on the thick book in front of her. Listening to her words, the black cat not far away was startled for a moment, then stood up suddenly and couldn't help but speak.
"Successful... They really succeeded?! Withered Wing fell... Those traitors just lost a pseudo-moth? They only had four complete pseudo-moths in total... And now one is gone?"
Listening to Salia's words, the black cat murmured in disbelief. After completely getting away from Moncarlo and making sure that he was not being monitored by the elusive puppet of the Rosicrucian, he finally dared to speak in front of Salia.
Although Black Cat did not ask Salia to participate in this Rosicrucian operation, he had no hope for the success of the operation. In his opinion, the biggest achievement of this operation was to leave behind the Phantom Scale Incense Cage. He did not expect that they would kill the Withered Wings directly! The number of the extremely precious complete Pseudo-Moths of the Black Dream Hunting Group was reduced to three at once, and the overall strength suffered considerable damage.
"Is what he said true? That was a mature pseudo-moth, a Red-level extraordinary creature. How could it disappear in such a short time? Could it be that their Rosicrucian also had a Red-level secretly come to Mon Carlo?"
With a serious look, the black cat asked Salia, and Salia responded after a brief communication with the text in front of her.
"Well... I'm not too sure about that. They just said that when they provoked Edward to fight with Ku Chi, Ku Chi was injured in the battle, and they seized the opportunity to kill him when Ku Chi was halfway through his escape. They didn't reveal any more information. If what they said is true, and Ku Chi was really injured when he was escaping, I think even if it wasn't Chi Cheng, he would have had a chance to kill him, Grandpa."
㳎Taking her chin with the pen in her hand, Sallya thought about it, and after listening to her words, the black cat spoke slowly with a serious expression.
"The gap between white and red... is the biggest gap in the conventional extraordinary promotion chain, and it is the dividing line between the elders and mortals. Only those who are above red can be called high-level extraordinary people. Even if a red person is seriously injured... it is not something that ordinary white people can deal with.
“The Rosicrucian sect is very cautious and careful in its actions. It is impossible for them to plot against another Chi Cheng without Chi Cheng’s backing… And strictly speaking, they plotted against not just one Chi Cheng this time, but three… I don’t believe they would dare to take such a big risk without Chi Cheng as their trump card. In the end, Chi Cheng must have come out to finish the job for them…”
Listening to Salia's words, Black Cat said this analysis. After listening to this analysis, Salia also spoke thoughtfully.
"That is to say... on Mon Carlo Island, apart from your special case, there should have been four red adults. Suddenly it feels so dangerous... Fortunately, they didn't fight together, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape...
"And... the secret form of the Rosicrucian, I'm curious about what he looks like... could it be Lord Paarthurnax?" Salia said curiously, and after listening to her words, the black cat also answered.
"That's impossible. That Pathurnax should be the apostle of Akasha. Apostles only accept oracles. The religious orders and associations of the world don't have the power to dispatch apostles. The gods may have some problems now. It's been a long time since an apostle interfered in the affairs of the world... The situation in Moncarlo this time should not be serious enough for an apostle to intervene..."
After Black Cat finished his analysis, Salia beside him nodded in understanding. Then Black Cat continued to ask her questions.
"So, now the Phantom Scale Incense Cage is in their hands. When will they give us a clear explanation?"
"Well...they said that the Phantom Scale Incense Cage is now in the state of a dream body, so it is stored with Lord Paarthurnax in the Dragon Territory. I can go there to get it later. After getting it, they asked us to help restore it to its original state. Later, they will borrow it from us when they need it, and we will then send it to them through the White Stonemason."
Salia explained this to the black cat. After listening to it, the black cat pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"Anyway... this time we were able to retrieve the Phantom Scale Incense Cage, and our goal has been successfully achieved. If the information from Qiangwei is true, and Ku Chi is really dead, then the group of traitors has suffered a heavy blow this time. This is undoubtedly great news for us. Perhaps from now on, we need to change our strategy and stop swallowing our anger. We can regroup our forces and take the initiative to do things..."
"Regroup our strength! In other words... Grandpa, are you finally planning to reorganize the sect?" Listening to Black Cat's words, Sallya said excitedly for a moment, while Black Cat continued to speak silently.
"At least we can start preparing for the corresponding matters. After this incident, Rose and those traitors are already in a situation of life and death. We can trust Rose more and even form an alliance directly. If we can get their support, we can also openly confront that group of traitors again.
"Of course, before that, we also need to form a force that the Rose side cannot underestimate. At least we need to regain the power of the Red Rank, otherwise they will not look down on us. However, with the Phantom Scale Incense Cage as the support for the ceremony, it is only a matter of time before we return to the Red Rank.
"If we return to Chicheng and successfully form an alliance with the Rosicrucian, then the only traitor worth worrying about is the one who is about to kill his own apostle with the 'Bewitching Sleep'..."
Hei Meng said so, and when he thought of the good vision for the future, his tone became lighter, and Salia beside him also spoke happily.
"Yeah! I finally see hope! I told you that Lord Julong and his men are reliable. The harvest from this operation is so rich!
"Grandpa! Grandpa! You used to scold me for being too naive and simple-minded. You will suffer a great loss in the future. Now take a look at my performance in the past two days. I cooperated with the detectives over at Qiangwei and got a lot of important intelligence! I have definitely made great contributions! Are you impressed by me~"
Standing up from her bed, Salia proudly put her hands on her waist and said to the black cat on the bedside table, as if she wanted to hear the other party's praise. But who knew that after hearing Salia's words, the black cat's face suddenly sank, and its furry face became even darker.
"It would be fine if you didn't mention this, but I get angry when you do! How can you be so good at dealing with a stranger Extraordinary? You believe everything he says and answer everything he asks! He loses all his guard after a little coaxing, and knows everything about his abilities and details! Fortunately, he doesn't have any thoughts about you, otherwise it wouldn't be surprising what you are like now!
"I've been teaching you this for so long and you're still acting like a child. You ignored everything I said before, right? You deserve to be punished again, right?"
As it spoke, the black cat jumped up with a meow, pounced on Salia, and began to scratch Salia's skin with its claws, making Salia beg for mercy.
"Ouch! Stop grabbing, stop grabbing, Grandpa Xiao Hei! It hurts! Stop grabbing! If you grab me again, I won't fry any dried fish for you next time!"
