Chapter 258 Mr. Brandy and the "Pastry Merchant"
Fein City.
In the Lion family's manor.
A few days ago, several members of the Night Watch came to visit the manor. They came to find out the specific situation of Colonel Abel Rhine under the pretext of inquiring about certain things in the city of Fein, but they returned empty-handed after several days.
Several members of the Night Watch who came to investigate nodded slightly. A deputy captain looked at the manor steward with a smile and said calmly:
"I am sorry to bother you these past few days. I have learned a lot about the murder case in Finn City. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Abel. We will leave now."
The butler nodded immediately and said with a smile: "The Lion Family will cooperate with all actions of the church. We have always been devout people who are loyal to God."
The night watchmen calmly left the manor, looked at each other for a while, then got on the carriage but did not leave immediately. Instead, they came to another street and stopped the carriage.
From the study room of the manor, there were constant sounds that sounded like wailing and roaring.
"Ah, ah, uh, ahhhh!"
Abe Rhine's mental state was already very bad.
He was wearing pajamas and was smashing the wall with his hands, making cracks. His eyes were bloodshot and he was breathing very deeply, as if he wanted more air to come in because his chest was always feeling stuffy.
The whole person feels like he is drowning and may be "drowned" at any time by an invisible force.
Who can come and save me?
Abe Rhine finally realized that he had no chance.
Although he persisted for a long time, he still was not saved.
The members of the Night Watch who were investigating the situation pretended to leave, but in secret, there were still people watching Abel Rhine's every move.
The woman hiding in the dark is the captain of the third team of the Night Watch. Like Louis, she is a transcendent person in the middle stage of qualitative transformation.
The third captain was very good at hiding. She was confident that even a qualitatively superior transcendent would not be able to discover her while hiding in the mirror, and in fact this was indeed the case.
She hid in a floor-to-ceiling mirror, concealing her figure, and stared at Abe Rhine's every move, with no intention of giving up surveillance for several days.
In fact, during this period of secret surveillance, the three captains of the Night Watch felt more and more that there was something wrong with Abel Rhine.
"His condition is indeed problematic, but the specific situation is a bit strange. Our night watchmen in Finn City may have difficulty in solving the problem. It seems that we need to go to other parishes to invite a true monarch..."
At this moment, Abel's expression suddenly changed. He almost collapsed, but now he showed a very arrogant smile.
Captain Three was stunned for a moment, then realized that something was wrong!
The next moment he bit his finger, and bright red blood flowed out without a care, and then he actually began to write very neatly on his face!
"Yes."
After Abel wrote a bright red word, he wrote a complete long sentence in blood.
"Your idea is correct. We must invite a powerful person at the monarch level to completely solve the problem."
The third captain was stunned for a moment, extremely surprised, and soon realized that he had been discovered by the mastermind!
Just as she was about to run away, she suddenly saw a pale hand, which pulled the captain's entire body out of the mirror like pulling a fish out of water.
"Who are you!"
The three captains were filled with fear and wanted to struggle but found themselves completely restrained and unable to move. The gap in strength between the two sides was simply not on the same level.
Abel continued to write in blood on his pajamas.
When he was halfway through writing, he found that he didn't have enough blood, so he bit off his index finger to let the blood continue to flow out.
"You have spiritualized your body and hid in the shadows. For a monarch who can transform life force into spiritual force, this hiding ability is meaningless."
Captain Three was sweating profusely and her body was shaking with fear. Then she saw a man gradually walking out of Abel's shadow in front of her.
He was a young man wearing a white tuxedo, a top hat and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like an elegant nobleman, and he exuded a very terrifying aura.
Who is he?
The young man looked at Colonel Abel beside him, who continued to write new words in blood.
"You can call me 'Brandy'."
The third captain pretended to be calm and asked:
"Brandy...what do you want to do? Who instructed you?"
The young man still did not speak, but let the pale-faced Abel continue to write bloody words.
"Nothing, you don't need to know these things, they have nothing to do with you. In fact, no matter what happens, it will have nothing to do with you in the future."
A huge fear instantly engulfed the third captain, and the next moment, the young man's hand was pressed tightly on her head.
"No!"
The cold silver-white liquid instantly poured into her eyes, nose, and ears. No matter how much she wanted to close her mouth, she was completely unable to stop their invasion!
After the cold liquid invaded her body, she felt as if countless people were roaring deep in her heart. She couldn't help but tremble and shiver all over her body. Then, with each loud roar, her soul gradually became smaller.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the sounds show no sign of stopping.
She tried to escape again and again, but was never able to get away. She was in unbearable pain and collapse, and finally her soul was completely swallowed up by the silvery-white liquid.
When Captain Three opened his eyes again, Abel's finger had been healed again, and Mr. Brandy was standing next to him.
A piece of paper appeared beside him, with black words wriggling on it.
"In three days, you are much easier to transform than Abel."
"He is a veteran soldier, much stronger than you, and he persisted for so long before becoming my puppet..."
"It's mainly a matter of strength. Although there's only a one-level difference, the difference in resistance to my abilities is much greater. It seems that controlling this level and number of extraordinary people is already my limit."
The third captain stood there blankly, her eyes bloodshot, as if she was not thinking about anything, just like Abe Rhine standing next to her.
After a while, several members of Silent Word walked out from Abe Rhine's shadow.
They had already noticed the night watchman's investigation, but because they were not sure they could solve it, they had not taken any action on their own and were waiting for Mr. Brandy's return.
Their pieces of paper also flew out, and they communicated through words without making any sound.
The leading man with long white hair and a black eye patch bowed.
"The local influence of the Church of Storms and the Church of Redemption is indeed troublesome, and the Fisher family is also a small obstacle. However, the goal has changed. We no longer need to control the East Coast Province."
"We just need to wait until that ceremony is completed, then everything will be over and everyone will have final peace of mind."
The requirements for the priests of the Word of Silence are very high, and they must be at the monarch level to take on this role.
"Mr. Brandy" is one of the priests of the Word of Silence. As for his important forbidden object, it is now in the hands of several ordinary members.
As long as he has that thing in his hand, Mr. Brandy will actually have a great chance of winning even if he encounters an opponent at the same monarch level.
However, using forbidden items with three-digit numbers requires a huge price.
The last words that were written on the papers by several people were exactly the same.
"The Praise Singer."
"The Praise Singer."
——
From the Fisher family, Lillian held up a plain-looking box and said calmly:
"Colin, this batch of money must be handed over to the lions as usual, so you should go to the lion family in the near future."
Even now, because there has not been a complete "falling out", the Fischer family will still pay most of their profits to the Rhine family once a year.
Those profits have always been greater than the net profits the Fisher family retains for themselves.
Therefore, when she heard that Viscount Best was killed by his father, Lillian was actually a little excited deep down in her heart.
Because she knew very well that the powerful lion would undoubtedly be a huge stumbling block to Fischer's further development.
"Yeah, I understand." Colin nodded slowly.
Lillian was silent for a while, then suddenly said:
"Speaking of which, Colonel Abel's mental state has been getting worse in recent years. I don't know what's going on, but he does have a lot of complaints about us."
Lily paused for a moment and continued, "Colin, at least at this stage, we cannot have any conflict with the Lion Family, do you understand?"
Colin was slightly stunned. The priest's words "at the current stage" were very meaningful.
However, it is indeed unclear what the future will be like, but he is very clear about one thing, that is, the Fisher family cannot offend the lions now.
"I see."
He nodded slightly, indicating that he would definitely complete the order.
In fact, just last night, Colin had successfully stepped onto the third level of the contract road, "Pastry Merchant".
Sequence power "Dim sum merchant".
Its image in the spiritual world is that of a fat, kind old man making snacks, radiating warm orange light.
The promotion ceremony is sold to one hundred different people on the same day, so the difficulty is undoubtedly not high.
Carl had issued an oracle to inform Lillian of all the rituals for the first five steps of the Long Stairs to God, so Colin's promotion speed became very fast.
Colin's physical fitness increased by 20, his spiritual strength increased by 50, and he also gained two different extraordinary characteristics, namely "Mystical Smell" and "Delicious Snacks".
The first is the mysterious sense of smell, which is not just the sense of smell that people understand in the conventional sense, but the ability to smell out traces and intelligence clues in many mysterious areas.
For example, spiritual aura, or the remnants of supernatural power, Colin can now detect even the most hidden smell.
Even with just a drop of dried blood, one can find out the location of the blood's owner, who is dozens of miles away.
And the other ability is "delicious snacks".
As a "dessert merchant", one can naturally create delicious snacks. Extraordinary people can consume spiritual power to create delicious snacks in various forms.
Cookies can restore life force, chocolate can restore mental force, bread can restore spiritual force, and so on...
At the same time, those snacks can be kept for several days after they are created, allowing anyone to carry them with them.
They will not disappear or lose their effectiveness immediately. After a few days, the extraordinary power contained in the "delicious snacks" will gradually decrease until they expire completely.
Their lasting effects are also very long, lasting at least several hours until they are completely digested, and several different "delicious snacks" can be effective in a person's body at the same time.
Although they have almost no direct combat capability, in terms of auxiliary, "delicious snacks" are indeed very powerful sequence forces, and the effects of those "delicious snacks" will become stronger as the extraordinary people gradually become stronger.
The "cakes and pastries" created by the extremely high-ranking extraordinary people on the path of contract may even bring the dead back to life.
Of course, such incredible things have nothing to do with Colin today.
He was going to organize a caravan and go to the Lion Family in Fein City to hand over a large sum of money.
