When the old man heard Vera’s words, he hurriedly asked her, “Miss, does that person know that he failed?”Vera shook her head. “Of course not. Otherwise, how could he have let us go so easily?”When the old man heard this, he could not help but sigh and say, “It seems that no matter how skillful he is, it is of no use against you, Miss.”Vera sighed despondently and said sadly, “My father did not leave me with many skills. This is just one of them.”After that, she said to the old man, “Go and pack your things. Don’t bring anything else with you aside from the necessary things.”The old man nodded respectfully, turned around, and left the study room.After the old man had left, Vera took out a small wooden spirit tablet from the desk drawer on which the words ‘The spirit tablet of my late father, Elijah Lavor’ were written. Vera looked at this spiritual tablet carefully and murmured in a low voice, “Dad, I’m unfilial. I’ve given the ring that you left me when you died to someo
According to the law of energy conservation, energy was a kind of existence that could neither appear out of thin air nor could it disappear out of thin air. It was like placing a pot of hot water outside. Even if it finally cooled down, the heat would not disappear into thin air. Instead, it was released into nature through the air as well as through other objects. It was just that the heat of a basin of water seemed somewhat minimal compared to nature as a whole. Nevertheless, it was still tangible no matter how minuscule it was. However, the Reiki that Charlie placed into the ring again and again disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea without any response. Charlie felt more and more baffled. In his opinion, the principle of a magical instrument was the same as that of an electrical appliance, except that the magical instrument needed to be driven by Reiki, whereas electrical appliances needed to be driven by electricity. If electricity was delivered to a water hea
Charlie continued driving forward after putting the ring away.He also silently recounted everything that had happened. There was nothing special about the eight Armed Calvary Guards, but the girl named Vera left Charlie with a vague sense of mystery.Although he had used psychological hints on Vera and there had been no loopholes in Vera’s words, Charlie still felt that something was not quite right. However, after much deliberation, he still could not figure out what was wrong.At this time, an image suddenly flashed in his mind.It was the desk in front of Vera at that time. There had been nine copper coins on the desk.Those nine copper coins seemed to be a complex divination hexagram.As Charlie thought of this, he suddenly thought of the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams recorded in the Apocalyptic Book.Among them, in the eight divinatory hexagrams, there was the method of using three copper coins for divination and fortune-telling.Therefore, Charlie could un
Meanwhile, on a farm in the southern suburbs of Bergen, many corpses lying in the house had long lost their breath.A sign was hung outside the gate of the farm with a sentence written in English: The real estate transaction here is in progress.Not many people would pass by this kind of place in itself. Once someone passed by and saw this sign, they would lose all interest in this farm.If the mysterious organization did not send people to investigate, it would be possible for this place to be exposed only when these corpses were severely decomposed and the smell had stretched out for hundreds of meters. Still, that would take at least five to seven days.Therefore, this would certainly buy enough time for Vera to escape Northern Europe. The seven members of the Armed Calvary Guards rushed to the top of the highest mountain in Oslo City after sunrise after a long journey under the starry night. It was somewhat embarrassing to say that the highest peak in Oslo City was less t
In truth, sleep had long been dispensable to Charlie.His body would not feel tired even if he did not sleep at all.However, he had transferred a lot of Reiki into the ring just now, and he could not fully replenish the Reiki in his body even after eating a whole Cultivating Pill. The rapid consumption of Reiki caused his body to feel a little tired. When Helena saw Charlie’s exhausted expression, she hurriedly said, “Please come with me, Mr. Wade.”As the palace had been in disrepair for a long time, there were only a few rooms available for occupancy at this time. Helena did not know what she was doing, but she brought Charlie directly to her own bedroom in the palace. When Charlie first arrived here, he did not know the internal structure and distribution of the palace. In addition, his body felt extremely exhausted, so he simply followed Helena to the bedroom.This was the largest bedroom in the palace. To be precise, it should be a large suite. Upon entering the room af
After Helena had helped Charlie tidy up the bed, she then said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, please rest first. Feel free to let me know if you need anything.”“Okay, thank you.” Charlie nodded with a smile, thanked Helena, and watched as Helena exited the room.After that, Charlie washed up in the bathroom inside the room, took off his clothes somewhat tiredly, and placed them neatly on the bench at the end of the bed. Aside from his underwear, Charlie was also holding the ring in his palm. Immediately afterward, he lay down on the bed that was still warm and had a lingering fragrance.When Charlie thought of how the warmth and lingering fragrance came from the graceful and charming Helena, he could not help but feel as if he was in a trance and had gone a little overboard. However, Charlie could not help but feel some pain when he thought of the deceiving ring in his hand.He put the ring on his fingertips and kept turning it round and round as he hesitated time and time again. In
At this moment, more than ninety percent of the Reiki in his body had been depleted once again. His whole body was very tired, and he felt extremely decrepit.He was like a gambler who had come to his senses, only to realize that he had lost too much in this scam.Charlie originally wanted to take another Cultivating Pill, but after thinking about it, he realized that he would be no different compared to those victims who were trapped in a scam if he were to take another Cultivating Pill.What he needed to do now was to stop his losses in time and to stop having any illusions about this ring!As Charlie thought about this, he took off the ring in exhaustion, held it in his hand, and stopped sending any Reiki into it.At the same time, he could not help but think of Vera. He felt that this girl seemed to be extremely unusual. Not to mention whether there was any unknown secret hidden inside this ring, but just the fact that she could decide to give this ring to him in an instan
It had been a long time since Charlie had experienced such a deep sleep like today.He was completely unaware of Helena’s arrival and her series of actions.Helena was also extremely nervous, and even the rhythm of her breathing was completely chaotic. The courage that she had in taking this step had been completely exhausted. The moment the long dress fell at her feet, Helena felt as if a spell had been cast on her body. She simply stood still and looked at Charlie for five minutes. She needed to continue cheering herself on so that she could take another step forward bravely. The weather in Bergen was cloudy and rainy, and the temperature at noon in midsummer did not make people feel hot. What’s more, it was only early summer, and the temperature early in the morning was even a little cool.Helena stood still in place and soon felt that her body was already a little stiff from the cold.She felt that her skin which was exposed to the cold air was covered with goosebumps,
