"Mr. Button, what's the matter with you? Do you need to call someone?"
Shad stood up at once, trying to get closer to the other party, but Joey Barton immediately waved his hand to prevent Shad from coming:
"I'm fine, fine, don't call people. I just... use my eyes too much. This kind of singular talent cannot be used often. Yes, the gift of fate always has other costs."
Although he said he was fine, he still covered his face with his palms, trembling all over his body.
The "quiet" Iluna didn't get up like Xia De. Her eyes scanned the surroundings, and then she stretched out her right finger and gave a light hook. The Rhodes card thrown on the coffee table was automatically flipped under the pull of the spell, and Xia De's sight was attracted by the front of the card.
The front of the card is only white, black and cool colors around the two colors. Standing in the center of the card with its back facing the human figure outside the card, it is wearing a black robe with a hood, and the exposed head is a skull with bone spurs on the back of its head. He holds a sharp sickle in his right hand and a dagger with filth in his left, and both hands are rotten flesh.
The background of the card is densely packed with steeple-style tombstones, and there are vague white shadows between the tombstones. Farther in the background, there is an endless water area.
The tombstone at the foot of the figure occupying the center of the card is the clearest, with bone-like patterns on the tombstone, Xia De actually deciphered its meaning—
[World (First Epoch 1 to now)]
The number 6 is marked in the upper right corner of the front, and the small symbol of the sun in the upper left corner. Between the two, that is, in the center of the front of the card, a black vertical line is drawn in the white circle, which is the symbol of the "Founding" series.
At the bottom of the card, there is a little blank space, and there are two lines of small characters written there:
[If the total points of this card exceed 21 points when drawing this card, choose one of the used cards and exchange it with this card. The special effect of the selected card is invalid. 】
"Sun 6, [Genesis·Death]! It really is [Origin·Death]!"
Xia De's eyes widened, and he wanted to reach out subconsciously, but immediately withdrew his hand.
Seeing that Mr. Barton's hand was about to be taken away from her face, Iluna lowered her eyelids and raised her white fingers again. The Rhodes card was immediately flipped back to its reverse side, without even moving its position.
Xia De withdrew his gaze from the Rhodes card, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and asked with concern to Mr. Barton, whose eyes were really bleeding on the opposite side of the coffee table:
"Are you really all right?"
"it's okay no problem."
With his thick fingers, he struggled to pull out his handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his eyes, with an embarrassed expression on his face:
"The feeling just now is as if I saw the sun directly... Oh, it seems that I have used my eyes too much recently."
Wiping the blood from his left eye with his left hand, because his eyesight recovered, he noticed the Rhodes card on the table, and immediately took it back with his right hand:
"Sorry, I may not be able to continue divination for you today."
The apology in his tone was sincere.
"It's okay, as long as you're fine. After all, if I really knew that this cat would grow old naturally in a few decades, I would be very sad... After all, it's just a short-lived pet."
Saying that, Xia De pretended to be sad and touched Mia's head. The orange cat looking around looked up at Xia De, and when he saw that he was fine, he rubbed his head against that hand and continued to observe his surroundings.
"Actually, you don't have to grieve over the loss of your loved ones and those close to you."
Joey Barton put down the handkerchief in his hand, because of the characteristics of "reverse life", his limbs and body proportions look very abnormal, but his black eyes are very divine:
"Mortals are mortal. This is an inevitable stage in life. Normal birth and normal death, I always think that this is a miracle bestowed on mortals by the great ones."
Combined with Joey Barton's identity as a "man against life", his emotion can only be expressed under the feeling of life.
"Yes, every ordinary day we experience may be a continuous miracle."
Xia De is also very emotional. Foreigners have experienced so much in this world, and they understand even more how much they cherish a safe life for ordinary people living in this world.
"Yes Yes."
Mr. Barton agreed with Shad's words:
"You mentioned that you are a writer, oh, if you publish works in the future, please let me know. Yes, how precious is an ordinary and ordinary life. Normal birth, both parents, normal growth, Enjoy childhood, normal maturity, encounter love, and..."
He took a deep breath and adjusted his expression:
"Please don't refuse, Mr. Watson, I must have a drink with you today."
After speaking, he stood up from the sofa, but this made Joey Button's weird figure even more apparent.
He was indeed the size of a child, but his body was thin and his limbs were unusually thick. In addition, he seems to have difficulty coordinating his body, and he walks with a limp. But he still came to the desk that was not illuminated by the gas lamp, and took out a bottle of red wine and three wine glasses from the mahogany wine cabinet on one side. After Miss "Agatha Holmes" stated that she did not drink, Shad shared a drink with this Mr. Button.
Mr Barton, though only one ring, seems to have a lot of power in the Crow Club. He personally arranged for someone to send Xia De and his "fiancee" to the door, and when Xia De took Iluna's hand and was about to take a carriage at the corner of the street, a four-wheeled carriage stopped smoothly at the crow The door of the club.
So, after the gentleman with the suitcase got out of the car, Shad and Iluna left in the carriage. As the carriage drove away slowly, he glanced out the window and saw the servant who opened the door bowing to the man who entered.
Iruna threw a silencing charm.
"The person just now was the one who fought with us in the forest of the Mibao Mechanical Academy during the Fire Worship Festival dinner."
Shad said, Iluna nodded:
"It's him. Although he's disguised, my eyes won't mistake him. Has he entered the Crow Club? He's also here for divination?"
"Probably not. Joey Barton said that he won't receive any guests this week. It is impossible for the servants to disobey his orders immediately. Moreover, when the man entered the door just now, he didn't show the raven badge, and the person who opened the door was very respectful to him... ....interesting."
Shad, holding the cat, tapped the armrest of the seat in the car with his left hand:
"My local friends told me that Joey Barton's experience as a ring warlock is still a mystery."
On the way here, Xia De had already told Iluna the information that Sister Devlin said, and the seventeen-year-old girl frowned slightly:
"So, Joey Barton, the man of inverse life, received funding from the [Truth Society] for treatment, and thus became a ring warlock?"
She knows more about [Truth Society] than Xia De:
"Yes, this possibility is very high, [Truth Society] really likes to do this kind of thing."
"Isn't [Truth Society] researching taboo knowledge? How did it become an association for the disabled?"
"Are they really out of kindness in helping poor people with strange physical disabilities?"
Iluna snorted, probably because she didn't want to affect Xia De's mood, so she didn't say much:
"This is very interesting. The Truth and Joey Barton...Shad, I will return to the church in a while and ask the ring warlock team in this parish to investigate the other party's pick-up location."
Iluna pointed to the coachman:
"I won't say anything about the Crow Club for the time being. I just let the church investigate where the man got into the car. After all, if Joey Barton hid, we wouldn't be able to find him. I met him just now, and I'm almost sure He's the man we're looking for. But...if the Church finds out about Joey Barton, we have to accept that too."
"It doesn't matter, it's better for the church to find the elect than to be grasped by the [Truth Society]. Besides, aren't you also the elect found by the church?"
Xia De said with a smile, and Iluna also smiled.
"But what do you say about the source of intelligence? You sneaked out today."
He asked again, the carriage turned at the corner of the street and drove into the bustling area of Fort Midhill. Although this is also a big city, Mibao is not as good as Tobesk, the northern pearl.
"It doesn't matter, the church now completely believes anything I say. Even if I say that I dreamed in a dream, they will believe it. After all, I am the one chosen by "Whispering Verses"~www.mtlnovel.com~It is the era protagonist."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xia De suspiciously again, hesitated for a while, and then asked the question he really wanted to ask:
"I've wanted to ask since we got into the carriage just now, Detective, why does your body smell like the perfume of our fortune-teller friend?"
Xia De opened his mouth slightly, and Iluna sighed, shaking her head so that he didn't have to speak:
"She's under so much pressure, it's good to have someone to accompany her. Even if you have the dark door under your house, I'm still very worried that one day she will collapse and lose control... She has too many things on her shoulders. I have more to bear."
The doctor said the same thing.
"but......"
Her lips moved slightly, the seventeen-year-old girl looked at Xia De carefully, and asked in a low voice:
"In the future...will you still dance with me?"
"Of course, why not?"
"That's good... It's okay, we're going to go on together. You will be by my side, always, always, until the very end."
She murmured, her eyes looking at the void in front of her.
Xia De nodded, and while Iluna smiled, he turned his head to look at the passing street scene. Everyone has their own troubles, even the protagonist of Epoch has to face the trivial matters of life.
