He kept chanting: "Backlund, Backlund..."
Debi Augustus begged the other party to let him go, saying that he could take him to Backlund. Perhaps his begging and kneeling down worked, and the lunatic chose to spare his life and then followed him. around.
With no choice but to take this crazy man with him, he boarded the steam train back to Backlund.
……
Backlund, the crimson moon was shining high at night. After enjoying dinner at home, Klein felt for some reason that Ince Zangwill might return to Backlund.
He made an excuse that he had eaten too much tonight, and went to the bathroom under Benson's puzzled gaze. He walked four steps backward and arrived above the gray mist.
As before, Klein once again used divination to find the whereabouts of Ince Zangwill.
This time, the fog surrounding Ince Zangwill dissipated, and the current whereabouts of Ince Zangwill were clearly visible.
He was dressed in desolate clothes and was on the steam train returning to Backlund!
After confirming again, Klein left the gray mist, walked out of the bathroom, and went to contact Leonard first on the grounds that he needed to work overtime temporarily.
The Brave Bar has now become Leonard's favorite, and he often comes here to relax in his free time at night.
When Klein came and explained their purpose, the two people left the bar and went to St. Samuel's Church, preparing to inform the church about the incident so that Ince Zangwill would not escape again.
On the way, Leonard curiously asked Klein why the divination was so clear this time.
Klein showed a thoughtful expression and said, "I have also thought about this issue and think there are two possibilities."
"The first possibility is that Ince Zangwill has now lost the ability to resist divination, so my divination this time can accurately find him."
"The second possibility is that someone is planning something secretly. For example, this is a trap directed and staged by Ince Zangwill."
Leonard followed this train of thought and thought for a while: "Is there someone secretly helping us?"
"Why do you think so?"
"Because I really can't find a reason for Ince Zangwill to return to Backlund again."
While the two were thinking and discussing, they came to St. Samuel's Church.
Regarding the incident of Ince Zangwill, the church paid special attention to it this time and even sent two bishops to lead a red glove team.
They blocked Backlund's train platform overnight and set up a heavy siege.
When the steam train coming from South Wales was about to arrive at the terminal, the madman next to Derby Augustus on the car seemed to be greatly stimulated, shouting who I am, where I am, etc., Then he broke the door and fled into the jungle.
Chapter 281 Beware of the Audience
In the dense forest at night, the crimson moon hangs high, and the forest is dyed with a layer of crimson.
The already crazy person turned into a headless fly as soon as he entered the dense forest, wandering around, and his position was quickly locked by the members of the Red Gloves.
When Klein and Leonard saw Ince Zangwill again, they almost didn't recognize him.
In front of him, Ince Zangwill was unshaven, his hair was messy, and his clothes were shabby and stained with dirt and sawdust. Even his eyes had lost their former agility and sinisterness. They were dull, as if they had lost their souls.
Ince Zangwill, who was already crazy, fully activated his mythical form when he was forced to die. His unreserved madness made the members of the Red Gloves team a little more afraid.
At this time, the two accompanying bishops took action to put Ince Zangwill into sleep, the red glove team performed a last-ditch attack, and Klein and Leonard went all out.
In the end, the insane and insane Ince Zangwill died under the crimson moon. Before his death, he seemed to briefly regain his consciousness, voluntarily released the form of the mythical creature, and stared at the stars in the sky.
"Is this the end?" Leonard was a little incredulous.
This is Ince Zangwill, the renegade bishop who once planned the Tingen Incident, a powerful Extraordinary who was able to escape from Backlund at a critical moment.
Tonight, he died in front of himself so easily.
"Yes, it's over, but maybe this is just a new beginning." Klein's face was solemn, and there was no joy after revenge. The death of Ince Zangwill tonight was too strange.
In addition, 008 is not with the current Ince Zangwill. He reasonably guesses that tonight is the new owner of 008, who will use their hands to deal with Ince Zangwill.
Sealed Artifact 008 was not recovered, and the faces of the two bishops were not very good-looking, with obvious worry in their eyes.
What are they worried about?
Is there any unknown secret hidden behind this?
Klein didn't let himself think too much, but showed a forced smile and patted Leonard's shoulder. In any case, they had avenged the innocent people who died in Tingen.
After dealing with the relevant follow-up, Leonard and Klein, who returned to St. Samuel's Church, were met with angry accusations from Miss Daly, claiming that they had not called her to seek revenge on Ince Zangwill.
In the end, it was Leonard who asked Miss Daly to tell Captain Dunn the good news quickly, and he was able to get rid of this accusation.
Returning to his room, closing the door, lighting the kerosene lamp, and lying on the bed, Leonard began to ask about what happened tonight.
His knowledge was limited and he really couldn't see clearly what was hidden behind Ince Zangwill's incident tonight.
"Do you know what the nature of 008 is?"
"Isn't it just a quill that can determine people's fate?"
"Which extraordinary path do you think 008's ability is most suitable for?"
Leonard tried: "Path of destiny?"
"It's the audience, be careful of the audience, you'd better not get involved in this matter."
"Why should you be careful about your audience?"
"Because, just be careful about the audience."
"..."
Leonard was speechless. The old man still said nothing in the end. Watch out for the audience. He didn't feel
This extraordinary path is amazing.
……
When the sun rose over the mountains, Hasta had already gotten up and came to the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the morning light shining on the forest.
But this picturesque scene was ruined by the pencil box that kept jumping around.
Hastur opened the pencil case and took out a blank piece of paper.
008 wrote excitedly on the paper: "The abandoned child of fate, the unfortunate Ince Zangwill, his fate finally came to an end. The stalkers from Tingen succeeded in revenge, although they had some doubts in their hearts. , but they couldn’t guess the whole story.”
"This is my first cooperation with the Book of Prophecy. Everything is so perfect. Of course, all this is thanks to our master, who single-handedly arranged the fate of Ince Zangwill."
"Let us praise the master and praise fate!"
Ince Zangwill is finally dead, and he has settled one of his worries. The existence of the crazy Ince Zangwill, who always allowed himself to exist, might attract the attention of Night and Adam.
How could Ince Zangwill, who died in Backlund, be connected with a young earl far away in South Wales?
After solving the matter of Ince Zangwill, Hastur showed mercy and allowed 008 to be together with the Book of Prophecy.
He sat on the other side, took out four envelopes, and prepared to write a letter.
He had been in South Wales for a while, so it was time to write a letter back to Backlund to say he was safe and briefly describe the recent situation.
Greco, Audrey, and Maric also have a letter for Butler Neil.
It took Hastur more than an hour to write four letters with different contents, and then handed them to Caius, asking him to send someone to send the letters to Backlund.
After thinking about it, Hasta picked up another piece of paper and wrote a letter to Sharon, even though she had only left for a few days.
"Azshara has been lying on the window sill recently, looking into the distance. I think she is thinking about when she will come back from far away."
"I recently received news that people from the Rose School of Thought seem to be evacuating the Southern Continent."
Hastur felt it was inappropriate after writing this sentence. Not many people knew that the Rose School was leaving the Southern Continent, so it was better not to reveal it to Sharon yet.
He thought for a moment, crossed out this paragraph, and re-wrote: "In another week, a lively party will be held in the town. It is said to be a festival to pray for sufficient rain and a bumper harvest this year. It will be held every year. If This is a great opportunity to experience the customs and customs of South Wales.”
"I also wrote a letter to Maric today to inform him that everything is fine with you here."
The nib of the pen stopped again. Hasta felt that there was nothing left to write. After thinking about it, he wrote some daily trivial matters. When he saw that he had written more than two-thirds of the paper, he stopped writing.
Hastur took out a whistle carved like a blazing flame from his arms. This whistle was blessed by Gray Carrie, and it changed from the original simple bronze whistle to a flaming whistle.
In addition to being able to summon Gray Carrie to deliver a message, this thing can transform into a giant firebird and rush towards the opponent with just a simple stimulation.
It is already considered an extraordinary item. As for the negative effects, it will get hot after use and is not suitable for keeping in hands or pockets.
This
The spirit world was torn apart, and Gray Carrie still descended in the form of a little firebird.
008, who was still clinging to the Book of Prophecy, actually jumped back into the pencil box and locked himself up.
Seeing this scene, Hastur was sure that the little firebird in front of him was the one he thought of.
Gray Carrie, the ancestor of the phoenix, the real founder of the underworld, is the ancient god of death that is older than the underworld emperor Salinger.
As expected of the ancestor of the phoenix, he was able to resurrect from the underworld after such a long time. Was it because of himself that he promoted his awakening, so he took the initiative to become his messenger?
But at that time, I just held a ceremony to summon the messenger and didn't do anything too special.
Could it be that the power of the stars can awaken sleeping or extinct gods?
This reminded Hastur of an outer god in the Cthulhu mythology system, which fits this characteristic very well.
The Great Alarm Clock Ghroth, it is said that this Outer God will emit a strange tone that will affect the sleeping Old Ones in the galaxy, and the positions of the stars will also change, allowing the stars to reach the correct position.
Hastur thought about it carefully for a while, and felt that this was just a similar thing. The authority of the Hall of Stars was far more comprehensive and terrifying than the alarm clock.
To use a simple analogy, the big alarm clock is just an alarm clock. Its ability is to remind sleeping people to wake up and then let them go to work or school on time.
The return of the stars in the Hall of Stars is even more compulsory, like pulling out a machine gun from behind and forcing the sleeping people to work in the factory from dawn to dusk.
Well, that's about it.
Hastur collected his thoughts, handed the letter to Gray Carrie, and said, "This is your first courier mission, don't mess it up."
"Chirp!"
The little firebird raised its head and shouted loudly, then it grabbed a corner of the letter with its beak and flapped its wings to tear into the spirit world and flew away.
After Graycarrie left for a while, 008, who was lying in the pencil case pretending to be dead, began to jump around, hoping that Hastur would let it out.
"Since you like staying here, stay a little longer. I won't disturb your rest."
Hasta had no intention of releasing 008. He ran faster than anyone else just now and even knew how to play dead.
"..."
