Chapter 174 Blood Shadow
"Godmother Inia? How many godmothers are there in the Viteria sect?"
After confirming the assassin's death, Lin Yi also burned his body into ashes with a dragon flame, and then scattered them in the nearby woods, hoping to give back to the earth.
After re-paving the ground of the abandoned park with the virtual claws, Lin Yi and others returned to Allen's villa.
"Four godmothers, Godmother Patty you met before is one of them, but I didn't expect that the person who told Ellie the information was Godmother Inia!"
Alan sat on the chair with a sad face.
"Is this godmother very powerful?"
Lin Yi came over with a cup of oolong tea, but handed the oolong tea over in Lingling's threatening eyes.
Lingling smelled the oolong tea, then tasted it lightly with her tongue, and after confirming that it was not alcohol, she handed the oolong tea back to Lin Yi.
Looking at the oolong tea that returned to his hand, Lin Yi didn't know whether he should drink it.
He knew very well that Lingling strictly prohibited him from drinking during the commission, but he didn't expect to check like this.
Fortunately, it wasn't real "oolong tea", otherwise that alone would be enough to make Lingling sleep until tomorrow noon.
Allen originally wanted to answer Lin Yi's question, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw the scene just now, which shocked him instantly.
Then he jumped up from the chair at lightning speed, grabbed Lin Yi's free left hand, and said with a very sincere look in his eyes.
"Brother! I'll pay 5,000 Ying pounds for this cup of oolong tea! I hope you can fulfill my lifelong dream!"
"Go to hell! I won't sell it no matter how much money you pay!"
Lin Yi pushed away Allen's face that wanted to stick to him and drank the oolong tea in one gulp.
But he underestimated Allen's severe lolita control. After seeing Lin Yi finish drinking, he was stunned at first, then picked up the cup and went to the side to cry secretly.
"Is he serious?"
Lin Yi couldn't believe that Allen would cry because of this, but Aris, who had long been accustomed to it, said.
"Don't worry about him, he'll be fine in a while."
"Let's get back to business, what's the situation with Godmother Inia."
"We don't know whether Godmother Inia is strong or not, but there are rumors that she is a super-class magician."
"Why did Allen look so sad when he talked about Godmother Inia?"
"Because Godmother Inia is the most unpredictable of the four godmothers, the demise of a small family in the past in Fog City was related to her." Irene took a sip of red tea and told Lin Yi about some things that happened in Fog City in the past.
After listening to what Irene said, Lin Yi felt very difficult.
He was now sure that the biggest breakthrough in the incident was here in the Vitria Sect. But if he wanted to make a breakthrough, he had to find Inia.
But the other party obviously wanted to kill them all, otherwise he would not have thought of burying them deep underground last time.
Taking the initiative to find Inia is tantamount to a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and it is extremely disadvantageous for them to clash with the other party in the home court of the Vitria Sect.
He didn't forget the information Lingling had said on the plane before.
"We should take a long-term view on going to find Inya. The opponent's strength is much higher than ours. I will find a helper to help us."
Aris said calmly to everyone.
Except for Alan who was still crying silently, the other three people agreed with Aris' words.
Among the five people, there is only one high-level mage, Lin Yi. It is wishful thinking for him to cause trouble to the Viteria sect with this strength.
But if all three dragons can be released, they can probably fight. Apu and the others are immune to magic, at least the intermediate magic can't do anything to them.
As for the super-level mage, he couldn't define it, because he hadn't seen the power of super-level magic, so he couldn't make a judgment easily.
After Lin Yi greeted the others, he turned back to his room to rest. Today, he first solved a twilight apostle converted from a high-level mage in the twilight world, and then fought a high-level mage in the outside world.
This frequency of fighting made him feel that he was comparable to Jun Ge. He should rest early. He didn't want to learn the nightmare of fighting for 48 hours like Triga.
The next day, Lin Yi got up at 7 o'clock and prepared breakfast for Lingling skillfully.
Lingling is still growing, so every morning Lin Yi will heat a cup of milk, fry an egg, and cook a bowl of millet porridge for Lingling.
When Lin Yi prepared breakfast and put it on the table, Lingling just came down from the second floor after washing up.
"Here, Lingling, the milk temperature is just right."
Lingling sat on the chair that Lin Yi pulled out for her, first took a sip of milk from the cup, then used a spoon to shake the millet porridge and put it into the cherry mouth.
Lin Yi sat next to Lingling and bit the apple one bite at a time.
Alan, who was tired of crying last night, dragged himself to the dining table after smelling the fragrance of millet porridge.
"Lin Yi, what smells so good? Give me a bowl too."
"Go scoop it yourself. I'm busy now."
Lin Yi took a tissue to help Lingling wipe off the traces of milk on her lips, and Lingling closed her eyes and made a sound of "hmm".
Alan looked at the interaction between Lin Yi and Lingling with envy, and imagined that he would be able to do the same with Aris one day.
But fantasy is fantasy after all, he can only eat the delicious millet porridge into his stomach mouthful by mouthful to relieve his envy.
Woo woo (┯_┯), it's delicious. Next time I am fed dog food, I will also eat this millet porridge to comfort my wounded heart.
At this time, Irene also came down from upstairs. Seeing the intimate interaction between Lin Yi and Lingling, she was shocked for a moment, and then walked to the window sill.
Apu was sleeping on the mat on the windowsill with his belly exposed.
Compared with a cute loli like Lingling, Irene prefers a little dragon like Apu.
But just when she walked to Apu and wanted to touch Apu, a red lightning appeared out of thin air and blocked Irene.
Irene, who was rejected again, could only hold her injured heart and come to Allen.
Two people who were "hurt" in the morning stood in the kitchen drinking millet porridge.
Arris came out of the room and saw this strange scene, but she didn't care so much, but said to Allen.
"Alan, go out with me today."
"Okay!"
"Lin Yi, please go to the dusk world at dusk today."
"Okay."
Lin Yi nodded and agreed.
After seeing Lin Yi agreed, Arris also ate something casually and left the villa with Allen.
"Aris, where are we going?"
"To a shoe repair shop in the western part of Fog City."
"Are your shoes broken? Just come to my house to fix them. Why run so far!"
Alan walked up to Aris and pretended to check Aris's shoes.
But Aris had already seen through Aris's thoughts, bypassed Aris's magic hand, and continued.
"There is a ghoul who has lived for a long time in that shoe repair shop. The information bought from the intelligence dealer said that the other party may have something related to the twilight world."
"I see!"
Hilden District, Fog City.
This is the westernmost block of Fog City. Because it is close to the edge of the Anjie, the number of people living in this area is only about three-quarters of that in the central area.
Alan and Aris walked to the streets of the Hilden District. It was obviously nine o'clock in the morning, but there were still few pedestrians on the road. Most of the houses on the roadside also closed their doors and windows.
"Why are there so few people?"
Alan looked around. Compared with the bustling central area, this place was really deserted.
"The lunar eclipse is getting closer, and most people have temporarily left here and gone to the central area."
"I can also encounter the lunar eclipse once a hundred years in my lifetime, so this life is not in vain."
Alan sighed as he followed Aris, and soon the two came to a very historical shoe repair shop.
The decoration of the shoe repair shop is almost the same as the buildings in the 1930s and 1940s of the last century, and the era atmosphere that hits the face.
It makes the two seem to have returned to the past era, and at the door of the shoe repair shop, a gray-haired old man wearing a slightly gray top and a brown leather apron sat at the door.
It is said that he is an old man, and the tendons on his body are probably stronger than most young people. Moreover, the old man's obviously gray-white skin and bloodstone eyes make others feel that he is not human at a glance.
Ghoul-Norman Karim, the longest-lived ghoul known in Fog City, was witnessed by someone 150 years ago.
The name of Norman Karim can be seen in many relevant historical records in Fog City.
As one of the few ghouls who do not eat humans and are very friendly to humans, he was officially allowed to live in the Fog City 20 years ago.
So Norman opened a shoe repair shop in the Hilden District, although many people did not dare to approach him because of his identity as a ghoul.
Even the people living around the shoe repair shop moved away from here, but over time, Norman's friendly attitude still made some people try to approach him.
"Norman Karim."
Aris walked in front of the old ghoul, and his shadow blocked the sunlight in front, allowing the old man to focus on Aris.
"Familiar smell, descendants of Sherlock Holmes? After a hundred years, I didn't expect to see the blood of Sherlock Holmes again. Tell me, your name."
Norman's kind eyes instantly became very sharp, and the blood pupils stared straight at Aris.
But Aris did not move her eyes away, she looked straight at the other person and said.
"Aris Holmes."
When Norman heard the name Aris, his eyes were slightly shaken, but soon returned to normal, even Aris, who was very observant, did not notice it.
"Aris? What a good name. To celebrate meeting Holmes again, I'll give you free shoe repair for the first time."
Norman's eyes were kind again, and his voice was not as dull as the old man's.
"We are not here to repair shoes this time, but to find you for the matter of the Twilight World."
Aris did not beat around the bush, but got to the point directly.
Facing Aris' directness, Norman did not say anything, but stood up and motioned for the two to follow him.
Alan watched Norman open the door and walk in, and whispered beside Aris.
"Aris, should we follow? I feel a little dangerous, or I'll ask the old man to come to the scene."
"No need."
After that, Aris walked into the shoe repair shop, and Alan followed him. He couldn't let Aris face the danger alone. Letting Holmes get hurt would be a disgrace to his name "Watson"!
Norman saw the two people walking into the store one after the other. This familiar scene made him think of what happened a hundred years ago.
"If you want to know about the Twilight World, just keep following me. Remember to follow closely. Don't blame me if you get lost."
Norman picked up the lantern on the table and lit it. Strangely, the flame burning in the lantern was red.
Holding the lantern, Norman walked straight towards a stone wall, and he didn't stop until he hit the stone wall.
When Norman's right foot just touched the stone wall, the whole wall began to fluctuate like a mirror flower and water moon, and the next moment Norman walked into the stone wall.
Seeing this, Aris and Allen followed Norman into the stone wall.
After the three disappeared, the stone wall returned to normal, and the "Open for Business" sign on the door turned over by itself, showing the "Closed" on the back.
On the other side, Lin Yi and Lingling, who were staying in the villa, discussed how to meet Godmother Inia safely.
It might be safer to go to the church to meet each other when there are many believers, otherwise you have to wait until the Saint's Crown in three days, which is also a chance.
It's really troublesome, and you can't just rush to the opposite old house like in the hot-blooded anime and then fight it out.
Since they knew from the assassin that the person behind the scenes was Inia, the other party must also understand that Lin Yi and others would find her.
Would someone who could sit in the position of the godmother of the Viteria sect be stupid?
After Irene occasionally put forward some of her own opinions, she spent most of her time trying to get closer to the three dragons, but it was a pity that Chihui and the others didn't want to pay attention to her at all.
The basement of the villa was very large, so Lin Yi also let Chihui out, and the three dragons would restrain their breath.
Otherwise, the breath of two commander-level real dragons and a real dragon close to the commander-level would be too terrifying.
Looking at the window gradually being rendered by orange and yellow, dusk is about to come.
Due to the change of the twilight line, Lin Yi had to open the door in another place today.
The staffing was him and Apu, one person and one dragon, and Irene and Lingling were responsible for off-site support.
Apu learned to be smart this time. It didn't drink the Pershi wine, but licked a little with its tongue. Anyway, it was okay to have the smell of Pershi wine.
Lin Yi put his hand on the door handle, and after looking at Lingling, he opened the door at dusk and stepped into the twilight world.
"Apu, you fly in that direction, I'll go the other way, and try to save the other party before the involved person is harmed."
Twenty minutes later, Apu sent a message to Lin Yi, telling him that no involved person was found in the south of the starting point, not even the Twilight Apostle.
Lin Yi, who received the message, also asked Apu to fly to his side as soon as possible.
Suddenly Lin Yi smelled a hint of blood, which made him turn his original forward steps in another direction instantly.
It seems that the luck of this involved person is not good, and he "won the prize" so quickly.
Following the smell of blood, Lin Yi soon came to a square.
As soon as he arrived at the square, he saw a lifeless body lying on the ground, and a Twilight Apostle standing next to the body like a pig-headed monster.
What is that?
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the back of the Twilight Apostle, and a human-shaped blood shadow stood behind the side of the Twilight Apostle.
When Lin Yi looked at Xueying, Xueying seemed to sense something and looked in Lin Yi's direction.
And this look made Lin Yi see Xueying's face.
That face! How could it be!
Recently, things have started to get more and more complicated. Oh, it's hard. There are so many things to do.
