Lord of Enigma - Chapter 618

[Chapter 610 Rose Madeleine]

Holy Eagle’s Nest City, Lovek District, the residents here are generally rich people, barristers, parliamentarians and the like, belonging to the upper class. Most of their residences are exquisite and luxurious, and the environment is also excellent, not only clean and quiet, airy Also fresher.

At this time, it was late at night. In one of the large single-family houses that were slightly smaller than the exaggerated and luxurious villas around, there was a study, and on the desk by the window, a lady who was extremely dignified just from the back, He was writing something at his desk.

She didn’t wear any jewelry, just a blue pleated skirt, her blond hair rolled up, and delicate women’s glasses. She was about thirty-four or five years old. The strength and wisdom that can be possessed.

Although at this moment, she seems to be in a state of panic because she has insight into something terrifying.

In the room, rustling voices echoed.

In the depths of the lady’s heart, there is also a glimmer of hope:

“I still have other methods, other channels for help, but Tang always gives me a feeling of trustworthiness and dependability, even though I have never met him, maybe this is a wrong decision, I should Confirm something and notify him again, but I’m running out of time, the Knowledge Seeker is failing…”

“Dong Dong~”

“scoff”

In the quiet late night, the sudden knock on the door made the lady in a special state shake the palm of her hand. Almost subconsciously, she put down the quill, and passed the message that she had just started to the other end of the unknown through the strange object. .

The white light, like an eraser, erased the handwriting she wrote on the white paper.

She watched this scene with her own eyes, so she immediately discovered a “terror”.

A little ink was left on the white paper.

It is extremely subtle. If you don’t look carefully, it is almost impossible to find it. It is not transmitted to Tang Qi like other information.

“Knowledge seekers, are also isolated?”

Despair and fear appeared in the eyes of the woman under the glasses.

She doesn’t have any extraordinary profession, although she has the potential to attack the “great erudite”, but before that, her body is actually no different from that of an ordinary woman.

However, as the owner of the “strange thing”, she can see the state of the strange thing.

The dazzling ink marks and the dim light are all confirming that this strange object has temporarily lost its effectiveness, and it can no longer transmit any information.

Before she could be glad that the signal to ask for advice had been sent out in time, the door behind her made of spiral red teak was knocked again, and more urgently.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a familiar voice that made her body tremble.

“Honey, it’s bedtime.”

This voice is gentle, and has a magnetism that makes people feel good, and even has a dramatic accent that the upper class ladies and girls in Holy Eagle’s Nest City like very much.

It usually means that the owner of the voice has a prominent family background and has learned the most difficult classical drama since childhood. The new generation has long since lost this kind of education. It was only popular for a period of time a few decades ago, and mature socialites can immediately judge, There should be a middle-aged gentleman of noble origin and full of charm.

In fact, it is.

Across the portal covered with red spiral textures is a middle-aged man in white pajamas. His lips are a little thin, and his forehead and the corners of his eyes are also slightly wrinkled, but this does not affect the handsomeness of his face at all, and his eyes are deep, giving people a kind of The vicissitudes of life, the sense of wisdom.

He made no secret of the love on his face, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the door and directly see the “wife” who was panicking.

Soon, his wife, Rose Rowling, scribbled and cleaned up, but instead of coming over to open the door for him, she took a deep breath, looked at the door, and said in a perfunctory tone that seemed to be busy. :

“Ah, dear, go to bed first, I might be spending the night in the study tonight, you know, I’m working on a new topic recently.”

Her tone was perfect, but Rose couldn’t help but show a hint of apprehension on her face.

She knew that even the best cover up was futile.

That “thing”, she has long known that she has noticed it.

But it chose to continue wearing the familiar “skin”, and continued to play the role of a loving couple after a long absence with her.

She is like a flying insect that has fallen into a cobweb, no matter how hard she struggles, she can’t escape this cage. That thing doesn’t even bother to hide in the shadows, but just looks down on it every day, as if she’s playing a game, with her performance.

But she didn’t dare to stop, and she didn’t dare to take the initiative to reveal it. Although she was not an extraordinary person, the profound knowledge she had in her mind told her.

“That is an extremely terrifying thing, no, he is more like a strange race from another dimension. He puts on Howard’s skin, and it is definitely not for me. He has a terrible plan, and I need to hold him temporarily. .”

When she thought about it, across a door, the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

The tormented “waiting” began, one second, two seconds, three seconds… During the process, she divided her mind and immersed herself in a special area in her mind.

Inside, several “symbols” are floating.

Each symbol represents a terrifying existence.

This is the ultimate means she prepares for herself as a “scholar”.

Others, such as the “Knowledge Seeker”, all kinds of strange things, in a short period of time, in ways that she can’t understand.

As for the temporary arrangement of summoning magic circles, or chanting incantations, it is far less effective than the quick and effective way she can read them.

“If he chooses to expose it, I can only sacrifice my body and soul, and summon a god above the ‘mystery’ to come. If it was in the past, this method would be difficult to work, but now that the gods are in the awakening period, I am sure There will be unexpected responses.”

“The gods of the order camp may not covet my soul… Maybe you should choose the chaos camp, but prefer a neutral existence.”

Just when Rose Rowling endured her fear and chose the way of death for herself.

Outside the door, the middle-aged gentleman seemed to have finally finished his “scrutiny”. A strange and inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the voice he uttered was extremely warm.

“Well then, dear, do you need me to prepare you a glass of hot milk and some snacks.”

“No~ no need.”

“I really can’t do anything about you, it’s been like this since I was a child, the hard-working Rose, the talented Rose, the Rose who makes the boys feel ashamed… I didn’t expect to marry me in the end, the stupid Howard, but married the most beautiful Girl.”

“You are my angel, Rose Madeleine.”

…

In a quirky and charming theatrical accent, accompanied by the slight sound of footsteps, the figure outside the door leaves.

Mrs. Rowling, or Rose Madeleine, exhaled the long-buried breath at an incomparably slow speed.

Immediately, she really heard the last sentence clearly.

“You are my angel… Rose Madeleine.”

Almost immediately, the calm face she was trying to maintain lost control in an instant, she raised her hands, covered her face tightly, and crystal tears flowed from between her fingers. She suppressed her crying, and the figure of her “husband” appeared in her mind.

That sentence was what he said when he proposed to him.

In this world, only the husband and wife know.

She had already expected it in her heart, but it wasn’t until this moment that she really confirmed it.

Her husband, Howard Rowling, the last heir to the Rowling family, is dead.

“That thing, that monster from another dimension, he is not only wearing Howard’s skin, he also has Howard’s memory… It’s like relatives who returned from the world of the dead, they are no longer real relatives, and they are not allowed. You know, something terrifying.”

Rowling sobbed, recalling this time, from heaven to hell, from sweet to terrifying.

Pain raged deep in her heart.

The return of her “husband” Howard a few weeks ago has thrown her into a sweet surprise, as Howard Rowling has been subjected to extremely harsh and multiple scrutiny due to her relationship with various extraordinary organizations.

The Rowling family has an ancient reputation and some background, but from only one descendant left, it can be seen that the influence of the real world and the industry have long been lost, and he cannot have the privilege of immunity.

Fortunately, he successfully passed the review.

Even for safety reasons, Rose Madeleine herself did some checks on her husband who came back from “Mystery”, and her husband passed perfectly.

Everyone, including the World Tree and the Ancient Mystery Library, believed Howard’s statement: he was accidentally involved in a special space on the night when the spiritual tide returned, and then established a connection with a special “spirit”. After receiving his gift, he finally returned to the Condor Federation.

It sounds like an incredible experience, but there are no “flaws”.

Even because of his next performance, it seems more real.

At the same time, it was also the beginning of Rose Madeleine’s “nightmare”:

Howard Rowling returned, and after a sweet time with his wife, he began to show his unparalleled “talent”, no, it should have been fulfilled, the talent that only “great scholars” have, he has Knowledge, even more than his own wife.

In a very short period of time, he was recognized by organizations including the official government and the World Tree.

A few days ago, he even replaced “wife” positions in major organizations.

Externally, the wife will become a full-time wife.

The truth behind this bizarre situation is that He locked Rose Madeleine at home.

As an erudite, Rose has a certain amount of resistance.

But that day, Rose discovered that her strength was extremely fragile in the face of a “husband” who had suddenly become strange and terrifying.

He forcibly cut off Rose’s connection with the “mysterious ancient god” she believed in.

He forcibly restrained her range of activities and could not leave the villa.

Little by little, He is erasing the traces of her existence and replacing her to establish connections with major organizations.

Although during this process, Rose also obtained some “information” by her own means, before she lost contact with the ancient god, she received an extremely terrifying “early warning”, that warning was that she did not take drastic measures, It was the reason for dealing with the monster in her husband’s skin.

After an unknown amount of time, she slowly raised her head, wiped away her tears, her husband, monsters… and Tang Qi flashed in her mind one after another.

“There is still hope, and I can’t give up.”

In her thoughts, she suppressed her chaotic, fearful thoughts and focused on her own mind.

Her body is that of an ordinary woman, but she still possesses a powerful “weapon”, her knowledge.

Without completely pinning her hopes on a savior, Rose Madeleine immediately immersed herself in her own mind and began to search for and think about the knowledge and methods to deal with the “big terror” in front of her.

…

It’s still late at night, and the city of Holy Eagle’s Nest is near the Lovek District, an art museum that has been turned off and closed.

Six young men and women dressed in avant-garde fashion, with colorful hair, got in through a small door or a hidden passage from nowhere, each with a flashlight, and began to wantonly admire the paintings hanging on the wall. Or other works of art in glass cabinets all over the hall.

This museum named “Rafter” is actually an institution specializing in the collection and exhibition of some avant-garde and grotesque artworks.

In other words, the exhibits here are not valuable.

These young people are actually poor artists hanging out on the streets, and they are reluctant to buy tickets and enjoy them at night.

One of them, a white girl with dyed green hair and a nose piercing, was suddenly attracted by a very strange “oil painting”. She was standing in this painting with some creatures that only exist in imagination, and some vortexes. , lines and symbols before paintings.

She felt that her eyes, along with her soul, were about to be sucked in.

It seemed to be an illusion, and she suddenly saw that the oil painting named “Dreamland” began to emit dim light.

In the phantom and blurred brilliance, a figure is slowly walking out.

“Am I too high today?”

The girl murmured and stretched out her hands involuntarily, trying to touch the gradually clear figure.
