One side of the hallway was a long corridor.
The corridor led straight to the end. There were some rooms on both sides of the corridor. Most of the doors were closed. Occasionally, there was an open door, but no one could be seen. There were some office tables and chairs inside, and there were many documents on the desk.
Cleaning Company?
Ryan had more doubts in his heart.
The floor of the corridor was made of oaks. Perhaps because of the use of a long time, some of the floors were a little loose, when people walked on it, there would sometimes be a creak. The sound echoed in the quiet corridor.
The corridor wasn't long, only about thirty to forty meters long, and it didn't take long for them to walk to the end.
Ryan counted. There were thirteen rooms in the corridor on this floor. There were seven rooms on the left and six on the right. The reason why there was one more room on the left was that there was
It was about two meters long and one meter wide. This was the painting.If you looked at it carefully, you could see that the picture seemed to be filled with a layer of fog. The fog rolled on the picture, but it did not disperse. The fog did not spill over the frame's borders... It seemed like that but actually, the fog did not exist in reality. You knew that it did not exist, but it covered your vision, making it impossible for you to see the picture clearly.This feeling made people very uncomfortable.How to say?It was like a guy who was afraid of heights sitting on a roller coaster, or sitting on a big pendulum that was several times faster than normal, making people dizzy. The feeling of suffocation and nausea was unbearable.Ryan also felt dizzy.His head was heavy, his feet were light, and the ground seemed to be shaking gently, which was a little disgusting.Albert leaned against the
In his sea of consciousness, golden light shone.Ryan's Phychic rippled in the golden light and they were closely fused. Wherever the golden light went, thoughts followed. Outside the golden light, there was a black tide.The strange aura turned into a black tide, like a monstrous wave, sweeping over from all directions.Book of Gold opened up a title page. On the page, there was a layer of golden light that was so thick as if it was material.The golden light spread out like a fog. The further they went to the periphery, the thinner the golden light became. The golden light and the black gas tangled with each other, devouring each other. One advanced while the other retreatedWith every collision, every conflict, Ryan's mind would shake. He seemed to stand on a boat. There was a tornado on the sea, and the waves were like mountains. The boat moved up and down on the waves, sometimes high and sometimes low. Ryan tried
Night Guardians...In Franka Empire's folklore, Night Guardians lived in darkness. They silently guarded humans, suppressed dark creatures, and protected humans falling asleep in the darkness.However, because they had the blood of dark creatures, it was easy for them to lose control and fall.Night Guardians, who had fallen, were the most terrifying dark creature and would bring disaster to humans.Therefore, they lived in solitude.Night Guardians were so mysterious and had a self-conflict, so they became the protagonist of all kinds of legendary stories.The largest manga in the south of the Franka Empire had been carrying Night Guardians' stories for three years. There were many readers, and there were several fans of night watchers that Ryan knew.Now, he had become one of them?Ryan was sitting on a chair, with a desk in front of him. On the other side of the desk, Tess was
At the corner of Fifth Street, Ryan looked back to the west.On the other end of the long street, the clouds spread in the air like fire, constantly changing shape. It looked extremely beautiful, but there was a hint of mystery. The sun had sunk under the sea level and disappeared.A group of seagulls flew through the sky and the blood-red sea of clouds.Even though they were far away from the port, there was still the smell of the sea. Occasionally, they could hear the majestic sound of a whistle.Unknowingly, a day was about to pass.Ryan took out his wallet. It was still a little thin before he went out, but now it was bulging. It was filled with banknotes. Just an hour ago, he signed a bill from Tess and got the salary for the next month in advance.Gold Louis referred to gold coins and did not issue paper money. However, it could be converted into paper money. The paper money came from the number one
No. 5 Baker Street.It was here. Ryan looked up at the door number, turned around, and walked in.This was a two-story building on the street. There were no steps, and there was a threshold. After crossing the threshold, there was a row of showcases. There were all kinds of weapons in the showcases, including swords, blades, heavy swords, shields, bows, and so on.This was a weapon shop.Franka Empire was not a place that worship martial arts. Compared to Bourne Empire's people, the people there were less strict and calm. They were more hot-blooded and brilliant. Their brute bravery was inferior to the Rakshasa, which was known as a combat nation.Although it did not worship martial arts, it didn't ban martial arts.Hundreds of years ago, the popular duel in the Noya Continent was spread out by Franka Empire. The nobles often fought because of arguments. They even threw white handkerchiefs at the other par
After night fell, the city became deserted.On the contrary, some of the streets became even more lively.The entire street was filled with magic stone lamps. The color of the lights was very enchanting, mainly pink. This was Lanceton's red-light district, Rose Street.In this alley, there were many bars.They were not just a place for drinking, but more like a huge salon. Countless hostesses moved around in the bar. Most of them were young and beautiful, contending in their beauty and fascination with gorgeous clothes. They were like flowers in spring.The Highlander Bar.The so-called Highlander was also known as another name of the Slavians.More than two thousand years ago, the barbaric Highlanders rode canoes and swept down from the northern wilderness. Franka Empire's north region was ruled by these people for a period. Later, those Highlanders intermarried with the local people. Now, th
An hour later, Jordan and Ryan arrived at the ninth pier.There were no fishing boats docked here, only some cargo ships. Therefore, there are several rows of warehouses in the port area. The cargoes unloaded from cargo ships were in the warehouse. There were silk and porcelains from the far east, all kinds of specialties from the New Continent, and weaving from Amur in the south...This place was heavily guarded.Jordan didn't bring Ryan to the ninth pier. Instead, he turned a corner and walked along the winding alley for more than ten minutes. Then, he arrived at a warehouse area. Rows of rooms were silently arranged, like rows of soldiers.There weren't many street lamps, only one in a far distance. The lights were dim, and most of the buildings were hidden in the darkness.There was no one in the entire warehouse area. It was exceptionally quiet. The sea breeze blew over and hit the roof. Occasionally, there was a
At this moment, Ryan suddenly took half a step back.His left foot took half a step back, and at the same time, he twisted his waist and crotch. His body spun, and his right leg jumped straight, whipping backward like a whip.At this time, the man had just placed his finger on the trigger.A gust of wind swept past, and Ryan's stretched toes accurately swept the wrist of the man. He was too fast, and the other party had no time to react. The gun was thrown out of his hand and flung to the side."Bullshit!"Wade cursed and threw his pipe away.If he lost his gun, that man won't threaten Ryan.However, Ryan did not stop there.His right leg landed on the ground and his left leg flew up again.His speed was extremely fast, and he finished in the blink of an eye.That person prepared to dodge. He had this thought in his mind, but his body could not keep up.
The Divine Incantation?There was doubt in Ryan's eyes."Yes, this is the Divine Incantation!"Livingston sounded serious."The Bible that the Sanctuary had enshrined was written in the Divine Incantation. The reason why it's called the Divine Incantation is because in the legends, these were words that God used but ordinary people could not. A so-called talent is a human who can see the Divine Incantation!"Livingston raised his hand and made a cross in front of his chest."Seeing the Divine Incantation is only the first stage. Only a real extraordinary being can recite the Divine Incantation and gain the power to change the real world. Earlier, when you left the warehouse, you didn't see what happened. When Lord Fontaine activated the Recall array, the incantation he chanted was the Divine Incantation. The Divine Incantation can't be recited with just one's voice. It also consumes a huge amount of
Inside Livingston's office in the Underground Palace.Light poured down from above his head. Ryan raised his head slightly and leaned back in his chair. His breathing was so soft that it could not be heard. Although he had survived a disaster, he could not relax just like that. There was still more to this matter.However, there was no longer any immediate danger of him being exposed, so he could relax a bit.Back at the office, the group went down to Underground Palace. Livingston asked Ryan to wait in his office while he left.After more than 10 minutes, Livingston returned to his office.After he entered, Ryan also stood up. As Livingston walked to his desk, he waved his hand downward and motioned for Ryan to sit down for a conversation. Once Ryan was seated, he walked around the desk and sat down in the chair behind it.When he sat down, the wooden chair made a creaking sound as if it couldn't b
Azar chewed a nicotine candy in his mouth as he squeezed out of the crowd.He was wearing a cap, a white shirt, and a small yellow vest with a tie knotted around his collar. On his lower half, he was wearing a pair of black riding breeches and a pair of tall boots. Hanging in front of his chest was a Magic Stone camera.He was in his early 30s with a head of long, curly hair. He had gloomy eyes that gave off an artistic aura.He had a slightly waxy complexion and huge eye bags under his eyes, making him look as if he did not have any vitality. It was as if he had been trapped by fatigue and could not break free. He always looked like he had not had enough rest.He was a reporter for Lanceton's evening newspaper.As a reporter, it was normal for him to leave early and return late, or vice versa. Whenever there was any sudden news, even if it was in the middle of the night, he had to immediately get up and rush to
The most critical moment had come!Ryan held his breath. His heartbeat was as slow as usual. Although he was nervous, his emotions did not affect his body. It was like his nervousness was drifting outside his body. He could feel it, but it was as if it did not belong to him.He stared at the screen that seemed to be projecting.The figure swayed.It was the perspective of the dead Owen De Gebora. At first, the one who appeared on the screen was Cripple Wade, who had been next to him at that time. He had a thick and short body, uneven legs, a thick cane, and a malicious gaze...Next, James, who was sweating in fear, appeared on the screen before disappearing instantly.Then, the others, who were at the distance, appeared. Although they were far away, they still appeared clearly on the screen. Their faces could be clearly seen, but like James, they also disappeared very quickly.Finally,
"Boo-hoo..."Suddenly, he heard the sound of sobbing. In the middle of the day, there was a sudden chill as if he were in a thousand-year-old igloo. The voice sounded like a ghost, sweeping in from all directions and making fear grip his heart.He couldn't help but turn his head. A strong gust blew.The iron sheet on the roof of the warehouse kept shaking in the wind, struggling to escape into the wind.On the ground, dust rose with the wind, forming a gray fog that whistled through the alley. It blew eastward and sometimes westward, hitting against the wall and making a harsh sound.A second ago, the sun was shining brightly, but at this time, dark cloud covered the sun. The sky had dimmed as if night had suddenly fallen and was about to swallow the entire city.However, if one were to look a thousand meters away, it was still sunny.This dark cloud only appeared above the warehouse. T
Ryan did not go far.He walked out the warehouse door and greeted Sheriff Trim with a smile. The other party nodded with some suspicion, but a smile also appeared on his face. Although Ryan was just a teenager, Trim did not dare to look down on him.For extraordinary beings, neither age nor gender was important. Even if it were a baby, Trim would still be very respectful.After interacting with them for a long time, he knew how incredible these guys were."What do you need me to do?"Trim took off his hat, placed it on his chest, and did a perfect gentleman's salute.Ryan quickly returned the greeting and waved his hand with a smile.Then, he made his way past the warehouse door and went around it.Although he had doubts, Trim did not ask further and did not follow him. He chose to turn a blind eye.Curiosity could not only kill a cat, but it could also kill a living
Ryan was a distance away from Fontaine and Livingston. He clearly felt that there was something amiss between the two of them. Although the atmosphere could not be said to be hostile, they seemed to be clashing with each other.On the other side, Livingston took half a step back and bowed to Fontaine."Sir, Martti has yet to step through that door. Your Excellency must know about her current situation. Isn't a spell like Recall too difficult for her? I hope you can reconsider it, or perhaps you have some other way?"Ryan could hear Livingston's words.This spell seemed to be harmful to Martti. As the captain of the team and their instructor, Livingston had a different opinion. It seemed that he was persuading Fontaine to give up this plan.Ryan hoped that Lord Fontaine would be able to accept Livingston's opinion.However, it seemed that Fontaine had made up his mind and would not change it just because Li
The warehouse was exceptionally quiet.The corpse still retained its original appearance. Perhaps something had been done to them because there were no signs of livor mortis. However, everyone's faces looked very disturbed. Even the police officer who had seen many corpses before seemed blatantly disgusted and uneasy.Now, except for Sheriff Trim, all the other patrol officers were asked to leave.All of Iris Tectorum's people were at the scene. Johnny explained the situation to Fontaine while Trim made additional comments from the side. As he looked at Fontaine, the look of flattery never left his face.Livingston was with Ryan and the other two. At this time, he was wearing a top hat and holding a cane. Although he still looked ugly, he was not as ugly as before. He appeared refreshing and refined now."Ryan, this is your job!"Livingston pointed at the corpse."Your main task is to deal wit
Two carriages, one in front and one at the back, drove down the street.They were both four-wheeled carriages with black compartments and tall shafts. The wheels of the carriages rolled across the streets that were covered in gravel. As the carriages had decent shock absorbers, so long as they did not encounter extremely uneven ground, it would not be a bumpy ride.Ryan and Martti sat opposite each other. There were two rows of seats inside the carriage which could seat five to six people. Since there were only two passengers, it felt quite spacious and not crowded at all.Out of the three people, only Milo Dravich knew how to drive a carriage, so he sat outside to steer it.On the ceiling of the carriage, there was a small glass skylight. This skylight was mobile and could be pushed open or closed. When it was sunny, the skylight would be left open to allow sunlight to enter with the wind. When it rained, the skylight would be pus
