Stray

    Caleb Village is boiling.

    No one knew what that popped flower was—but it was beautiful enough. The flower vine is centered on the witch's residence, and the green vines cover the shrub walls around the village and cover the sand around the village in one go. Like miniature fireworks, the flowers exploded with countless golden fragments in the morning light.

    A flower resurrected from lost history.

    The female owner of the hotel with the same name didn't even look at it, she quietly stayed by her close friend's side, never leaving. However, people were still pouring in, and the black chapters who were still resting in the witch's residence had to consider changing their place. Before Nemo could put down the fruits and vegetables in his arms, a teleportation spell was stuffed between his fingers.

    Ann took a painful breath and ignited the transfer paper that had just been replenished.

    When they came back to their senses, they had returned to the hotel room. Nemo was standing on the bed with a serious face, a bag full of small potatoes in his arms.

    "Ann." Nemo spoke dryly, jumping awkwardly off the sheets, leaving two dirty footprints that made him twitch inside. "Don't be so sudden next time, okay?"

    He will definitely wash this off in a while.

    "Sorry." The female warrior shrugged. "But it's always right to be low-key, we have no time to delay."

    Lisa bowed hurriedly to them as soon as she stood up. The female boss carefully picked up her sleeping friend and quickly rushed out of the black chapters' room. The next moment, there were only five people left in the large enough room, which looked less crowded than before.

    Adrian's face was expressionless, he quietly leaned back in the corner of the room, and seemed to be thinking about something. Debbie and Oliver were still standing there, their eyes focused on the potato bag Nemo was holding at the same time, then turned to Nemo's face.

    Nimo held the hapless bag slowly and looked back suspiciously.

    "Don't worry, Nemo. I didn't tell your boyfriend all your embarrassing things." Debbie said cheerfully, "Although I'll definitely do it if I have the time—we're just friendly Talked for a while, right Oliver?" She patted Oliver on the shoulder a little reluctantly, with all her strength.

    "...That's it." Oliver's expression was a little helpless, and he struggled to restrain the urge to look at the ceiling.

    Nemo was about to put the bag on the wooden table in the room, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and a few small potatoes rolled out again. Ruined. He thought numbly, accidentally kneading a small potato into a moist mash.

    One second, the female warrior groaned and turned over the spell book that seemed to have been gnawed by a goat, and then dropped it to the floor the next second. The former knight commander raised his head very, very slowly, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

    "I can't see it, Oliver." Ann picked up the booklet with a very emotional tone. "I have an innocent face, but I move very fast. They all called me 'crazy' before. I think compared to you, how can I put it... I'm as harmless as a twelve-year-old incense maker."

    "You are together." Adrian threw an affirmative sentence.

    "Yes, though it's been less than two hours." Nemo straightened his face, determined to face the storm. "We won't go overboard in public, I promise."

    "I witnessed history!" Ann excitedly bumped the stiff Adrian with her elbow.

    Adrian took a deep breath and stood back in the corner, only this time facing inward.

    "...Sorry, I didn't know you guys haven't made it public yet." Debbie shrank her neck, "Uh...I'll report back to the team first, Nemo, don't take advantage of my absence. Go quietly."

    She quickly slipped out of the room and closed the door thoughtfully.

    As Debbie left, the air in the room suddenly thickened. Adrian's back was straight, but he still faced the corner with determination. Ann's eyes swept back and forth between the two, her eyes becoming more and more meaningful.

    "Where's Dylan?" Oliver bravely broke the deadlock first, "Didn't you bring him with you?"

    "Oh, him. He can always follow him--I almost suspect that he has a hidden set of positioning magic." An said nonchalantly, "Compared to this, the two of you... "

    "Where's Bagelmore?" Nemo had a bad premonition about what she was going to say next, and he quickly interrupted Ann's speech. "Is it with Dylan?"

     But when Jesse Dillon revives the flowers, the grey parrot is not with him. Since learning of Nemo's identity, Bagelmore has never acted alone. Although he subconsciously found something to say, after thinking for a moment, Nemo couldn't help frowning slightly.

    "Who knows, it will come back on its own anyway - it's very similar to Dylan in this respect. This is not the first time." Ann raised her eyebrows, "My dear Mr. Wright, what are you running from? I just want to know what the **** you two-"

    The door was slammed open, and the blood vessels in the forehead jumped.

    "You just left me just like that!" the blond youth complained loudly, "It's too much, I'm also your reserve teammate after all—wait, what's going on in this atmosphere? "

    "Nothing," Nemo said immediately, turning his face away quickly, trying to hide the suspicion in his eyes. He didn't know if Jesse Dylan had found himself when he awakened the seed, and he had never been good at covering it up. Things are a bit weird, even if Nemo doesn't know how he does it - in the face of Bagelmore, and even in the face of Oliver, he can clearly perceive that the other party is "not a threat to him".

    But when he looked at Jesse, it felt like he was exploring the air. He can't feel anything. Bagelmore seems to have mentioned something similar, maybe the other party has used some means to hide his strength, and he may not be strong enough to see through everything around him. He thought uncertainly.

    Jesse didn't seem to care about Nemo's reaction. He glanced at the knight commander who was facing the wall, neatly tied his blond hair, and tossed it behind his shoulders—every movement was filled with grievances. "Can we leave now? Do you really want to have a loving bonfire party with the Horizon gang?"

    "Baggarmoru didn't follow you?" An Shunkou helped Nemo to ask the question in his heart.

    Jessie instantly showed a sad expression.

    "...What's your expression, did it hit Lopez's face with one head?" Ann wiped her neck, "That can only say that it's bad, it still has Is there any leftovers?"

    "No," Jesse said sadly, "it flew away."

    "What?" Nemo finally turned his face.

    "Literally like that, it flew away." The blond young man's expression was very melancholy, "I just talked to it a couple of times to persuade it to talk to you, but it... escaped. Very decisive. Mr. Wright, I don't think you're going to mistreat a bird?"

    "..." Nemo wiped his face fiercely, "No."

    Thinking of the scene where Ann stretched the bird's neck in Vincent Town, he felt a little guilty.

    "If it's really like what Ms. Savage said just now, that demon can always find you." Adrian finally turned around, his expression twitching. "Then you should be able to track it down too. You can try it, Mr. Wright."

    Nemo closed his eyes dubiously, he thought he would definitely get nothing, but he didn't expect to actually feel that much. It's like noticing the light noise in the corner of a room in the dark, or a mosquito that settles on your skin—

    "Probably... uh, eight o'clock? It's already over a hundred kilometers, I'm not quite..."

    "Roscoe." Adrian came to a conclusion instantly.

    "Roscoe?"

    "If Bagelmore has been with you since it came to the surface, then it should not have developed its own 'social circle'." Adrian thought for a few seconds, " Mr. Ramon, can I trouble you to check the Black Badge task list?"

    Oliver simply called up the task list.

    "Look to see if there is a mission for the Church of the Abyss." Adrian seemed to have completely calmed down, "Of course, this is my personal suggestion. It should go that way - assuming Wright If you're going to find it, sir."

    "Of course. Even if its strength is only intermediate, it's not good to leave it alone... If Bagelmore really wants to leave, then we have to talk about it." Nemo said quickly, and he moved his legs towards Oliver, intending to take a closer look at the task table.

    As a result, he just walked a few steps before being dragged by Ann's back collar and pulled away.

    "Don't choose." Ann said cautiously, "Don't."

    "There are quite a few, but they are relatively... um, not suitable." Oliver tried his best to express his reflection.

    "Isn't this very interesting? Ask to be escorted to the tomb under the church. This guy promises to see for himself, and he won't take anything." The female soldier glanced at the task table and pointed to refers to one of them.

    "Isn't it very suspicious?" Oliver seemed to have a shadow on the task of choosing, and he was rarely indecisive.

    "Better than this pile of 'Strangling Heretics' or something."

    "I'm just looking for a parrot, it's not worth taking a quest directly." Jesse raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid these two little guys don't know about the Church of the Abyss. Is this appropriate?"

    "It's not just for that purpose." Adrian glanced at the blond young man and said calmly. "There is a lot of unique information about demons from the Church of the Abyss... At least the information from the Rad Sect can't explain this situation at all. I am very concerned about the identity of Mr. Wright."

    The former knight commander did not mean to cover up at all: "I don't think the two of you will give up exploring, right?"

    Nemo nodded quickly, Oliver was still flipping through the tasks in the task list nervously.

    "That's right." An rubbed his chin, "If there is more complete information...I can think of only there. Hey, it's really feasible. After all, we really There is one, ahem, a complete superior demon."

    "...Church of the Abyss?" Nemo finally couldn't help but ask.

    "Hmmm." Jesse gave a slightly odd smile, and he seemed to be holding back his laughter very hard. "You can understand it as a sanctuary for demon believers and demon warlocks - the most prominent outliers of surface religion."

    "They believe in the devil of the bottom of the abyss."
