The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

But then again, what is the value of that book?

Apart from the fact that it is easy to be ignored, Louise did not find any more strange features... Well, in addition, with her current strength, she cannot damage it, which may also be a big advantage.

However, it happened to catch Adam's eyes, which made Louise wary, and at the same time she became a little worried about gain and loss. What if the "Wordless Book" was really a magical item equivalent to a "0" level sealed object?

Then wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?

But think about it from another perspective. The person who proposed the deal was Adam, the King of Angels. Could he still refuse?

Louise gathered her thoughts and asked curiously:

"What's the use of that book?"

Adam smiled, his clear and warm eyes gently fell on Louise's face, and said:

"Is that important?"

Louise sounded familiar. She had just heard this sentence. The speaker was Hermes, who was also an angel of the "audience" path... They were indeed of the same origin, and even their speaking habits were similar.

She showed a polite smile, bowed slightly, and agreed:

"Everything will be done as you wish."

Adam's mood probably didn't fluctuate at all, but the corner of his mouth outlined a vague arc, he stretched out his right hand as if to invite, turned around and took a step forward, saying as he walked:

"Now that the deal is done, let's talk about you."

Louise couldn't help being stunned for two seconds, and found that Adam had no intention of stopping and waiting for her, so she took two quick steps to catch up and said strangely:

"What are you talking about about me?"

The two stood side by side, walking slowly but steadily. Adam was wearing a priest's robe, and Louise was slightly bowed, showing a little humility and an attitude of asking for advice. The picture was extremely harmonious.

Viewed from behind, the picture looks like an old man and a young man chatting and taking a walk, or a priest explaining doctrine to devout believers.

"Let's talk about you, Louise." Adam said warmly, without stopping.

The two of them walked slowly towards the depths of the hall step by step, as if there was no end in front of them.

…………

After an unknown amount of time, Louise returned to the magnificent Hall of Giants alone.

However, at this moment, she frowned, with doubts hanging on her face, as if she was thinking about three philosophical questions:

"Who are you? Why are you here? What are you doing here?"

In the hall, the discussion among the members of the "Twilight Hermits" has not yet ended, and it seems that they are talking about the core issue of profit distribution, and the atmosphere is more lively than before.

Louise's scrutinizing eyes quickly glanced over, and suddenly she found a familiar figure walking towards her.

With his hair and beard all white and a smile on his hands, he looks like the old man next door, an angel without any majesty, Hermes.

Louise temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart, quickly walked up to him, and said hello:

"Lord Hermes, we meet again. You lied to me before and said that you were just a guide!"

Hermes laughed "haha" twice and replied:

"Have I not done my job as a guide?"

"How could that be possible?" Louise showed a bright smile and complimented: "You are the best guide in the world."

Hermes waved his hand: "Thank you, thank you."

Then, she turned slightly sideways, as if inviting:

"Let's talk?"

Louise looked flattered and replied immediately:

"sure."

Before taking steps, Louise looked back inexplicably, but found nothing. Then she met Hermes' eyes, smiled at each other, and walked away.

…………

In the Church of Bones, Adam stood under the tall cross in the center, looking forward, penetrating through the layers of obstacles, and landed on the backs of Louise and Hermes walking away together.

Then, she raised her right hand and gently grabbed it in the air, and half of a very fresh wheat ear appeared in her hand.

After a moment of silence, she spoke:

"The story is back on track."

As soon as he finished speaking, the half of the wheat ears automatically swayed slightly without any wind, as if in response. However, in the next second, the wheat ears quickly withered, and the wheat grains fell off one by one. However, they disappeared completely before they hit the ground.

.

In the end, Adam's hand became empty.

She rarely put her hands behind her back, her gaze seemed to be directed to a distant unknown place, and she whispered:

"Oh, mysterious."

…………

Hermes is an existence that has been specifically recorded in the Second Age. He created the ancient Hermes language that can communicate with nature and spirituality. He can be called a living fossil-level figure in the extraordinary world of mankind.

Unfortunately, in a sense, she can also be called a "tragic character".

Angels who became the "audience" path early, were unable to continue their promotion due to the existence of the "Dragon of Fantasy". After that, although the "Dragon of Fantasy" fell, its characteristics and uniqueness were taken away by the ancient Sun God, and finally fell.

In Adam's hands.

In this way, Hermes kept missing out on opportunities for promotion, and "wasted" countless years in the angel sequence.

It seems a little inappropriate to use the word "wasted" when referring to angels in sequence two... Louise silently corrected her, and all of this was just her guess. There was no evidence at all, so it could only be regarded as leisure time.

pastime.

In short, the more you know, the more you can think, especially when no matter how much you complain, nothing will happen to you.

Otherwise, if a random person were to have random thoughts in front of the angels in the "audience" path, he should have transformed into another person unconsciously without even knowing it.

"You haven't answered my question yet?" Louise asked persistently.

Hermes seemed to have forgotten and said doubtfully:

"what is the problem?"

Although, in my eyes, you look like an old man now, but your memory is not declining... Louise explained helplessly:

"Before you led me to this giant hall, you said that this hall was just my imagination, but you didn't tell me what you saw when you first came here?"

"Oh, that's the question!" Hermes suddenly realized it. She pretended to think for a while, as if she was reminiscing or in a trance. Finally, she looked at Louise's eyes and answered seriously:

"I forgot."

Louise took a deep breath and said to herself: "I just can't beat you!"

She continued to maintain an elegant smile, automatically skipped the topic, and proactively asked:

“Do you often guest star as ‘The Guide’?”

Hermes shook his head and said:

"No, you are the second one."

Louise asked cooperatively: "Who is the first one?"

Hermes was silent for a moment and replied in a slightly complicated tone:

"A guy named Russell."
