As Anna's feet hit the floor of the basement, she quickly lifted the spell to counteract gravity, feeling only half of her well restored mental energy being drained again. After all, it was using a spell to resist the laws of physics, which was never easy. "Anna?!" Esme Crane exclaimed. That look sent goose bumps all over her body. What the hell was going on in this apartment building? Every room was empty, not a single person in sight. But there were strange runes painted above the floor of each room, and these runes were not just in the rooms, but also spread to the corridor outside, the entire floor board was enveloped in runes, eventually spelling out a huge spell formation. These runes formed a spell formation that was all painted with red paint, and when one looked with the Eye of Insight, they only felt that the entire formation was releasing an eerie red glow. Several people identified his face and took note of it, while Esme Crane went on to add. They went at once to the t
Just then, the music of the octave box sounded suddenly, as if it were a spike stabbing straight into the minds of everyone in the basement. The tall, burly man in front of him stiffened and stopped his aggression against Anna at once. The old shopkeeper was even more terrified to the point of trembling. The tall, burly man responded emotionlessly, "Yes." With that, he walked over to Anna and began to unbuckle the belt around his own waist. Esme Crane also showed a worried look, casting a concerned glance at Anna. Esme Crane was in an indescribable state of mixed emotions, on the one hand she was shocked by the violent assault Anna had suffered, and she was furious at Anna's recklessness, how could this woman be so reckless as to come alone and stalk without a helper. Did she really think that because she had the Book of Words, she could take over the world? Anna stood just a short distance away, her entire being in a state of delirium. On the second transfer, the young woman who
"It's not impossible... I could give it to you, but it would have to be reported to the regiment. In fact, generally speaking, communication gems given to collaborators are given out on an ad hoc basis when they go on a mission, to be given as a gift, and you're the first." Anna follows Esme Crane's movements and tries again to pet the black cat, who doesn't duck away again, while Anna's heart takes delight in touching the black cat's soft fur and her emotions are inexplicably soothed. The house was lit up, and it was Esme Crane who had unscrewed the gas lamp above the shoe cabinet by the door. "It's okay... It's okay, so it's a black cat." Anna breathed a long sigh of relief. "I have carefully identified the spell formation painted in red paint in the building. Ten years ago, someone in the group had seen such an evil spell in a small town on the edge of the Underland Forest, and although there were some differences in the details, the overall meaning of the spell was not very dif
"You're joining us?" Paulina was taken aback, and Esme Crane twisted her head in surprise to look at Anna. "It's that octavo case, isn't it?" Who was it? Surprisingly, she couldn't remember. "How come Prohibition didn't last another ten or eight years, now that it's been reinstated, these drunks have really increased with a vengeance." Esme Crane felt the air a little dull and wanted to start a conversation to break the mood of the moment. But Anna did not look in a good mood, and she had the good sense to keep her mouth shut. Paulina saw the black under her eyes and thought of how busy she had been in recent days, working day and night, and felt a little distressed for a moment and said. "Captain Paulina you are too kind, you are older than me, just call me Anna." Coldly just then there was a knock at the door of the dormitory, followed by Paulina's cry of She was just about to put away the partnership agreement when she suddenly noticed a cheque for 500 gold clipped to it.Pau
"You're not being followed, are you?" James asked cautiously. "It is expected that he will choose to lurk during the day and escape at nightfall until curfew. We split up into two groups, one watching the traffic routes to the northwest, which is here in Torrington Town. One group is keeping an eye on the route to the south, as this guy seems to be connected to the indigenous religion of the Underdark." "James, it's me." The red-nosed man pretending to be a postman pulled down his mask to reveal his face and spoke out. "Hunter Valkyrie is also my fighting instructor, over 80% of the regiment's personnel were taught by her. She's on the front lines at the moment, and in a few days the chief will be returning to the front lines, when she will return to Zocta on duty to assist us in holding down the regiment. It will only be a few days before you will see her." Bella, Louis Holmes and Polaris were uncharacteristically pondering this question, James suddenly flipped open the Book of Se
Esme Crane took note of the drunk, a tall, strong man with very short shaved blond hair, blond eyelashes and stubble, green eyes drooping lazily, a brown stand-up trench coat and a slightly worn yarmulke, and a very handsome appearance. He didn't look like a local from this suburban township, but somehow he was here to get drunk. Louis Holmes glanced at Esme Crane and then at Anna, not uttering a word in retort for a moment, while Paulina next to her had the odd look of someone who wanted to laugh but was holding it in. "Are you guys sure the item in that package is the Book of Secret Words?" Anna asked before she could. Bella used her spirit to scout the house and there was no one in it. But the upper floor was occupied, so they moved up one floor, which was occupied by a thirty-year-old coal mining company employee, well-mannered in appearance, but judging by the rumpled shirt and pants he wore, it was assumed he was either single or a widower. The barkeeper said that Paddington
The crowd had a lot of questions, and if they all asked them, it would have been rather confusing for Blinken to answer them. So they stopped asking questions and listened to Blinken's story. Bella skillfully used her mental powers to question this neighbor and received this response. The neighbors thought it was so strange, but the little girl was so pink and beautiful that she gave the old couple great comfort, which couldn't be said to be a bad thing. It was not long after this contact that something happened to the Cook family of three. On an obsidian day in the late autumn of November 1856, the sad news came out of the blue that the old couple had been bitten alive by their own young daughter, who seemed to have hatched and broken something out of her body, and the entire human muscles, internal organs and skeleton had disappeared, leaving only a torn layer of human skin. In 1851 when the old Cooke tree blossomed, the couple, who were fifty years old, were surprised to have a
Esme Crane pondered for a moment, and gave his opinion: "I have connected so many clues, and introduced a general warp and woof. I will say a few words and ask for corrections." And she had learned from books about the customs of this world, and in the midst of such a society that prized stability, the union of men and women for reproduction was elevated to a rather important position. The holy religion regarded homosexuality as heresy, something to be judged at the stake. Lesbians were more oppressed than male homosexuals because male homosexuals still had the option to give birth to the next generation in union with a woman and did not have to take on the task of raising them. But a woman who abandons the responsibility of procreation and child-rearing will suffer endless reproach and abuse. "Things are in trouble, we can't venture in, we'll have to contact the regiment to deal with it." The black curtain was actually a semi-circular barrier, somewhat similar to the one that envel
