Chapitre 112: Follow and Fight
Cherwood Borough, Leighton Street.
Ebner turned his head and looked at the rental carriage that brushed past him, as well as the somewhat familiar figure on the carriage. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and smile.
That's right. The girl who looked like a failed crossdresser at Alec was Ebner, who wore a clown mask and wore an ordinary woman's face.
The reason why he chose to change his appearance to carry out this commission mission was that Roman's fiancé, Alec, recognized him. The news about him has been so hot these few days. If he revealed his true appearance and was recognized by Alec, it would inevitably cause the other party to be alerted and would be detrimental to follow-up investigations.
The reason why they met on the road was because…
"The luck effect of this gold coin is really awesome."
Ebner muttered silently to himself. He toyed with the Solomon Empire gold coin, which had been wiped clean of blood, and put it back in his pocket.
Before he left the house to investigate, he asked Judy and Susan about Alec's address and the places he frequented. Worried that he would not be wasted, Ebner blessed himself with the Solomon Empire gold coins.
Who would have thought that as soon as he left the law firm and entered Cherwood Borough, he would coincidentally brush past Alec's carriage and "extract" a wisp of his aura the moment he recognized him as Roman's fiancé?
Alec has actually become a Beyonder? From the looks of it, he must have just advanced not too long ago. Furthermore, he lacks knowledge about Beyonder domains. Otherwise, he wouldn't have any reaction when I extracted his aura in front of him…
"Is it the potion that his suspected lover gave him? Yes, I heard that Alec really likes mysticism knowledge. Roman joined Kapusky's club precisely because he wanted to cater to his interests.
From the looks of it, his so-called lover should be a Beyonder… And a Beyonder who can casually give potion formulas…
With this in mind, Ebner didn't immediately catch up to the carriage. Instead, he took off his mask and returned to the office. He used a ritual to make a batch of short-acting charms and wore them. Then, he carried the zither box containing the Sword of Dawn. Only then did he secretly put on his mask again after leaving the office and stopped a rental carriage.
The coachman looked at Ebner's clothes and mask and pretended not to see that it was a lady. He asked, "Sir, where are you going?"
Ebner boarded the carriage, sat down, and said to the coachman,
"Follow my instructions. We'll reach the end of this street first."
"Alright." The carriage driver didn't ask why.
In the carriage, Ebner took out the Solomon Empire gold coin and began to divine.
As a Beyonder of the Reader Sequence, he wasn't very good at divination, but he held the aura he had extracted from Alec's body in his hand. Furthermore, the Solomon Empire gold coin had an additional effect on divination, and he was wearing the Clown Mask of the Seer Sequence. With all these factors added together, the effects of his divination at this moment wouldn't be much worse than a Sequence 9 Seer's.
"The whereabouts of the owner of this aura in my hand."
After chanting a few times, Ebner threw the gold coin up and let it fall freely. After spinning in the air for a few weeks, the mixed Solomon gold coin landed upright on the carriage seat.
"Straight ahead!" Seeing that the carriage had reached the end of the street, Ebner hurriedly instructed the coachman.
The front side represented a left turn, while the reverse side represented a right turn. If one wanted to stand upright, they naturally had to go straight.
As they continued on their way, Ebner constantly asked the coachman to adjust their direction. Finally, they arrived at a street front house in the St. George Borough. When they walked around earlier, he noticed that there was a warehouse behind the factory. It was obviously the door of a factory.
He tossed the gold coin again, but it kept spinning on the ground, refusing to fall or stand up…
Seeing this scene, Ebner knew that the person he was looking for should be in the factory, so he paid 4 soli for the carriage driver and jumped off the carriage with the piano box on his back.
Ebner didn't linger long in front of the main entrance where there were security guards standing guard. Instead, he walked along the factory wall until he reached the corner.
He looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he took out a paintbrush from his pocket and drew a square door frame on the wall.
Following that, Ebner activated the Eye of Pure White and simulated the ability of an Apprentice to open the door. He directly walked into the factory from the door frame.
After entering the factory area, Ebner simulated his "invisibility" ability to hide his body while constantly "extracting" and "turning back" to search for Alec's whereabouts.
Due to the fact that Roman's fiancé might really have just become a Beyonder, he lacked the necessary common sense. Therefore, he had left behind too many traces. Soon, Ebner grabbed his "tail" and followed him to an old warehouse.
…
On the other hand, after Alec obtained the chubby Apothecary's medicine, he took a carriage to his factory and quickly entered an old warehouse on the southeast side of the factory.
Although it was still sunny outside, the interior of the warehouse was extremely dark due to the poor lighting. Alec lit the gas lamp that he had prepared long ago and could barely see things clearly.
"Ma'am, I've brought the potion back" Alec shouted a few times, but there was still no movement in the warehouse. Just as he was about to shout again, a clear female voice sounded behind him.
"Shut up! I'm checking if you've been marked."
Upon hearing this voice, Alec turned his head happily. As expected, he saw a beautiful girl with an innocent look pointing a ring at him. The blue gem on the ring emitted a few light rays that swept across his body.
"No problem… It seems that no one noticed you." The girl heaved a sigh of relief and took the glass bottle from Alec. After examining it for a while, she opened the bottle and drank it in one gulp.
Alec wanted to stop her, but before he could say anything, he saw the girl drink the potion. He had no choice but to persuade her tactfully. "Ma'am, that folk herbal store doesn't seem to abide by the rules. You should visit a more formal hospital."
The young girl could guess what he was thinking, so she shook her head and said with a smile, "Although the apothecary at the Folk Herb Store looks unreliable, his ability is still very good… He just doesn't know how to speak human language."
"Not very good at speaking human language? That's true. He's a mute, so he naturally doesn't speak human language… I didn't expect you to make such a joke, Ma'am," Alec said in surprise.
"Mute? You didn't go to the wrong shop, did you?" This time, it was the young girl's turn to be shocked. She quickly asked Alec about his previous experience.
After Alec repeated all the details of the herb store, the young girl muttered to herself thoughtfully, "Looks like someone finally couldn't stand him and made him mute…"
As though seeing that the girl was in a good mood today and wasn't as aloof as before, Alec seized the opportunity to ask, "Ma'am, I've already completed the mission you assigned me. Can you give me the Sequence 8 potion formula?"
The young girl looked at him with a faint smile and said, "You just drank the Seer potion for two days, right? You haven't even mastered Cogitation, and you're already thinking of the next potion formula? Heh heh, I can tell you clearly that if you advance to Sequence 8 in your current state, you will definitely lose control and become a monster."
Alec was somewhat depressed when he heard that. He grumbled, "I wasn't in a rush, to begin with, but this Seer Sequence's ability is far inferior to my expectations of Beyonders… It doesn't have the ability to fight head-on, nor does it have any treacherous means. I can only activate my Spirit Vision to see the so-called Spirit Body. At most, I can sense spirituality when others look at me…"
"Wait!" Before Alec could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the young lady. Her expression was no longer as relaxed as before. She asked Alec sternly, "You said 'you have spiritual perception when others look at you'? When did this happen?"
Alec was frightened by the girl's aura, but he could not help but be attracted by her face. Under the combination of fear and excitement, he stuttered, "It happened on the way back… I met eyes with a girl walking towards me…"
"Idiot… that is a spiritual warning. You have been targeted by her!" As the young woman spoke, she secretly placed an abnormally cold claw on her hand.
"Warning? But I don't feel any danger…" Alec said in confusion.
However, at this moment, the young girl was no longer in the mood to pay attention to him because she sensed that an uninvited guest had sneaked into the warehouse.
The rune traps and alert rituals that I set up were not triggered… Only the 'Sharp Nose' brought by the 'Ice Claw' allowed me to vaguely smell the scent of a stranger… The person who came is an expert in ritualistic magic?
At the thought of this, the girl's innocent eyes were tainted with a layer of darkness, and more than ten black flames surrounded her. She decided to act first and force the person out in the future. Otherwise, when the other party calmly set up the ritual in the dark, it would probably be difficult for her to escape.
Alec, who was watching from the side, was stunned. Envy rose in his heart because such a scene was the Beyonder of his dreams!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Black flames shot toward the dark corners of the warehouse like bullets.
Most of the black flames landed on the goods in the warehouse, but they did not burn. This was because the black flames could only affect things with life or spirituality.
However, when a black flame shot to a corner on the left side, a figure appeared out of thin air. Following that, this figure appeared in front of the young girl in the blink of an eye, pushed by a gale that came out of nowhere.
The figure raised a large sword and slashed down at the girl's head.
