章節 155: Chapter 74:Confused

Hearing the danger part Xio narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the man in front of her causing Adryan to chuckle softly.

"Don't worry miss as long as you and your men are careful you'll be fine, I would never give you a job you can't handle."

Although Xio had the beginning of confidence in the man in front of her, she would not endanger her men by entering unknown territory.

"What kind of dangers?"

"Nothing that can't be controlled, the 4 policemen are normal people but you should avoid attracting too much attention in the East Borough."

"You know things are tense there" Adryan informed calmly and Xio nodded.

"I'll keep it in mind, you'll be informed of any progress every 3 to 6 days" Xio said seriously.

Adryan said nothing, he just nodded accepting the time said by the woman, at the same time he put his hand in his pocket and took out his wallet and in front of Xio he opened it and counting 15 pounds he extended it to her.

'How much money does this guy have? There was at least 200 pounds there' Xio thought a little enviously as she saw the money inside the wallet.

She didn't ask the reason for this because it wasn't necessary and just took the money and put it away.

In the bounty hunting field, it is almost an obligation to make an initial payment for the expenses that a bounty hunter has to make during the duration of the job.

Whether informants, food, ammunition,etc.

She was used to this by now so she simply accepted the money and then looked at the man.

"Have a good night Mr. Holmes"

"You too miss"

With the simple farewell Xio left the alley the same way she arrived while Adryan stayed where he was looking at the dark sky of Backlund.

He put his hand in a pocket of his jacket and took out Hangover Time, opening the watch and seeing that it marked VIII, he just nodded, closing the watch and left the alley.

...

.....

In the house that the aforementioned Adryan came out of the shadows of the room while taking off his mask.

'Now all I have to do is wait', the redhead thought with a sigh. He pulled out a metal bottle from his jacket and took a long sip.

"Today has been a complicated day..." the redhead whispered into the air, who sat on the sofa while he took off his boots with his feet and then put them on the table.

Raising a gloved hand to his face, the redhead scratched his forehead as he looked up at the ceiling of his living room.

'I joined the Tarot Club, it turns out that there is more to Adryan than I thought, I finally learned how to use Spiritual Vision which includes the weak point and finally the revelation of the policemen...'

"I hate Mondays..." Adryan spoke to the air, he was mentally exhausted.

Getting up from the sofa he grabbed his boots and headed to the bathroom....

...

Appearing in the City of Calamities and looking around, Adryan over-scanned the entire city.

The buildings remained the same, the soldiers were patrolling as always and when they detected that he had arrived they gave a military salute and then continued with their business.

"There are no changes, the soldiers look normal, my connection remains the same..."

After analyzing the city and its population, he lowered his gaze to his body.

His body was normal, he had entered without a shirt and he could see his muscular torso, his skin looked healthy, there were no traces of the cracks that he had seen in the Tarot Club.

"Apparently my soul is normal here? That doesn't make sense, if the principle that my soul is the same that enters here and Sefira Castle then what is the difference that makes it look so damaged?"

"Besides where is the black robe?"

He did not have it on when he entered, he remembers that even if he had it on he would not feel it, that is why he looked at his whole body but the strange robe was nowhere to be found.

"Is it banned from entering the city? Does this robe consider the City of Calamities a No No place?" Adryan whispered doubtfully before an idea struck him.

"My soul is normal while I'm in here so the robe doesn't find it necessary to go in to keep it together?" The redhead said in astonishment before a shiver went up his spine just as another possible fact came to his mind.

"Wouldn't determining that whiting the City of Calamities is safe and whiting the Sefira Castle is not make that robe a sentient being?"

When he threw that question into the air, he knew that no one would answer his question, only after doing that he couldn't help but laugh ironically.

"I have a fairy on my shoulder or in this case a mute fairy uniting my soul"

"If it is seriously aware, up to now it has not done me any harm but has 'protected' me against the divinations of the churches..."

As long as it didn't harm him or prove to be a danger to him, Adryan was willing to tolerate it, after all until now the robe had proven to be a kind of silent helper.

When he thought that, an idea came to his mind and he couldn't help but laugh out loud at it.

"If Klein has the mirror Arrodes, then I have this black robe..." When saying the last thing, the redhead frowned while putting a hand to his chin.

"As long as it keeps helping me maybe it's not a bad idea to name it,after all 'black robe' is not a good name..."

"But what kind of name would a robe like?"

章節 156: Chapter 75:Dinner

'The robe is loose-fitting, it's quite similar to the ones used in the Harry Potter live action.....'

The robe was quite similar to the one worn by the students of the Hogwarts school from the famous book Harry Potter.

'Maybe a name that has a connection to that book wouldn't be bad...' the redhead thought as he put his hand to his chin and thought deeply.

'My robe's abilities if I see it in a certain way is similar to the <Cloak of Invisibility> in the fact that they both hide the wearer but that name doesn't seem to fit mine....'

"The <Cloak of Invisibility> is one of the three Deathly Hallows...Deathly Hallows....Hallows.…" Adryan muttered as an idea hit him and he just smiled sharply.

"What better name for my robe than Hunters Hallow?" Adryan said amused as he let out a soft laugh.

This robe was an item with extremely useful abilities, it would be an injustice if it didn't have a heavy name and he thinks that Hunters Hallow is perfect for it.

Over simplifying <Cloak of Invisibility> according to the legend of the book is part of a trio of objects that were created by Death for three brothers, these objects of enormous power were called Death Hallows.

The robe if it really was created by the bastard who brought him here and this bastard was the Top of the Hunter pathway then it was worthy that the robe to be baptized <Hunters Hallows>.

"With that done..." the redhead said calmly as he extended his hand towards a floating flame and after sending spirituality it grew until it formed a door of flames, behind that door he could see himself kneeling and in front of him, well bent was his Mr Holmes clothes.

....

Opening his eyes in his bathroom and seeing that nothing had been forgotten, Adryan nodded and grabbed a change of clothes that was hanging on the side.

Putting on a simple shirt and pants he left the bathroom and went to his room while yawning.

"I won't get up until 9:00...." the man said sleepily while scratching his eye.

Entering his room, Adryan sat on his bed, in his hand was Hangover Time, which he placed on the nightstand next to the Origami.

He grabbed a container that was on the nightstand, pulling the Burnt Band out of his pocket. Adryan placed it inside and sealing the container with a wall of spirituality he placed it under his bed.

He also took out his metal bottle and placed it next to the pocket watch, with that done he covered himself with his blanket and after a hard day he finally slept.

....

...

He opened his eyes a little confused, looking around, Adryan saw that he was in a walled courtyard, the house was a little further back, he also saw that there was a long table in the middle of it.

The table had a tablecloth with details of snowmen, red ribbons and little bells.

On top of this table was a large amount of food consisting of Russian salad, creamed potato, baked meat, grilled chicken, etc.

"This is?" Adryan said in astonishment finding it hard to believe what he was seeing.

Before he could do anything he heard footsteps coming from the house and looking towards the door he saw a large group of people coming out.

Leading the group was a couple,a man and woman who appeared to be in their forties.

The woman looked quite good for her age, she was about 1.63m tall, with naturally tanned skin, dark brown eyes, and dyed dark brown hair, although slightly overweight.

The man was of average height, barely 1.70m, he had gray hair and looked like he was almost completely bald, he had a beer belly like most dads.

"Mom Dad..." Adryan whispered longingly, he quickly walked towards them and when he extended his hand to touch them but it passed through them as if they were an illusion.

When this happened he could only lower his head while chuckling in defeat.

"Right, this is just a memory..." the redhead said painfully as he raised his head again and looked at the rest of the group who were sitting at the table.

He saw himself, that is, his body as Joa and sitting in front of him was Cruyff.

Adryan looked at his brother who was unaware of his presence and he was helping himself to several portions of food on his plate, Cruyff never liked vegetables so he only served baked meat and grilled chicken.

This made him just let out a sad laugh while his eyes watered and he scratched them with his hand, he didn't want to miss anything so he was holding back the tears.

Next to Cruyff was a man who was in his late 30's, he had a bald spot in the middle of his black hair, he was someone 1.75m tall and from what his shirt showed from his chest, he was quite hairy.

"Nice to see you again Bigfoot" there was a lot of sadness in his tone but Adryan tried to say it as provocative as he could as he had always insult his uncle.

Obviously his Uncle was also unaware of his presence and he just opened a can of Budweiser and took a long sip.

"Hugo put down the gasoline, we haven't prayed yet." joked the woman sitting next to her uncle.

This was a woman who was in her mid-thirties with dyed blonde hair and brown eyes.

She was his uncle's girlfriend, Jazmin, they had been dating for about three years and their wedding was supposed to be in February of the following year.

"Hugo please" this time it was his mom who spoke and his uncle just gave an awkward laugh as he lowered the can.

"Sorry Rocio"

"Always at the worst moments" his body said with false disappointment and his uncle only gave him a look while Cruyff let put a small laugh.

"Enough, Joa Hugo stop your game" this time it was his dad who spoke and Joa just nodded and then he bowed his head while clasping his hands in front of him.

All the others did the same...

Seeing that calm returned to the table and that everyone was already in a position to pray, his father nodded and lowering his head with his eyes closed, he began to pray.

"Thank God for another day of life that you give us, thank you for making it possible for all of us to meet at this Christmas dinner, there are people who could not attend and we ask you to please take care of them...."
