She leaned against a warm body, and the other party let out a familiar scream and fell to the ground.

Xio stopped the follow-up actions and looked at his friend who was hugging his stomach, writhing in pain and tearful.

The corner of her mouth twitched unconsciously and said, "Forsi, when did you come back?"

Fors didn't answer right away, and after a while, she stood up slowly with the support of the wall, and complained: "I just, just came back, Hugh, are you crazy? Do it without seeing clearly! Such a heavy hand! "

"Where did you come in?" Xio asked embarrassingly.

"It came in through the window of the bathroom. What, is there a problem? As an 'apprentice', it's normal behavior not to bring a key." Fors replied confidently.

Hugh straightened his back immediately, and pushed back all the responsibilities: "Then why didn't you go through the door? You really scared me just now!"

Forsi blinked her eyes and said: "That would have to go around half a circle, it's too troublesome, I'm used to walking in a straight line."

She paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "But, Hugh, isn't your reaction too intense?"

Hugh struggled for three seconds between losing face and losing his life, and replied frankly: "Because, because I made a mistake, a fatal mistake."

"What's wrong?" Forsi rubbed her stomach, and asked in a dazed and concerned manner.

Hugh hurriedly found an old piece of paper that he found between the book jackets, and accidentally recognized and silently recited the ancient Hermetic incantation on it that seemed to be hidden by a certain honorable name.

"You, where's your brain? It should be fine, the ceremony is not complete, and who knows if it's true or not..." Forsi looked around, feeling a little chilly for no reason.

She followed Xio back to the living room, and saw the yellowed paper, the Roselle special symbols and the ancient Hermes text on it.

With a glance, Fors, a professional mystic researcher, nodded lightly and said, "It's not the evil gods, demons and hidden existences that I know about, so it's not a big problem."

"And there has been no accident so far, which means that there should be nothing wrong."

Seeing Xio relax, she thought of the pain in her stomach, and added "maliciously": "Of course, if something happens, we can't save ourselves with our abilities."

Xio's face turned pale, and he blurted out: "Forsi, let's go together tonight, forget it, I'll sleep by myself..."

Forsi raised her eyebrows, and said with a chuckle: "Well, actually, don't worry. Think about it, I hear strange ravings every full moon, but there is no sign of madness or loss of control."

"Hmm... Let's study the other three books. If there are the same paper and spells, it means that it is probably a prank by Viscount Grelint."

The two hurriedly dug out books such as "Heraldry" and checked them carefully, but found nothing extra.

Xio looked at Fors, Fors looked at Xio, the atmosphere became solemn again.

"Or, let's sneak into the mass hall of St. Samuel Church to sleep tonight?" Xio suggested on a whim.

This is the headquarters of the Backlund Diocese of the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

"Why not St. Hirland's Church? I don't think the Evernight Goddess will protect me..." Fors subconsciously replied.

That is the headquarters of the Backlund Diocese of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. It is located in St. George's district, adjacent to many large factories in the southeast.

The two ladies with different beliefs fell silent again. After a while, Fors sighed: "And that will make us be targeted by the Nighthawks or the Mechanical Heart. This may be the purpose of that hidden existence."

"Okay, go to sleep, and you will know the answer tomorrow morning. If nothing happens by then, it means there is really no problem."

In the middle of the night, the not-so-full red moon was obscured by dark clouds, and bright stars were rarely seen in Backlund's sky. JrNovels.com
