Chapter 34 The Selection of Parasitic Objects

After a moment of reassurance, Alan Crees and Velma Gletis finally calmed the baby.

Call...... The tall and thin Alan breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, nodded apologetically to the guest, and held back for a few seconds before he organized his words:

"I'm sorry, kids are like that. ”

"Yes. Klein responded with a smile, saying he didn't mind at all.

Then, he changed the subject and continued to share what he had seen and heard in East and West Bailang.

In the process, he once again used his extraordinary ability to make all the ordinary people in the living room fall into a fantasy world, and he picked up the ice cream that he had just eaten, replaced it with a silver spoon, got up with a smile, walked to the stroller, and asked gently:

"Will, do you want to eat?"

Without waiting for the fleshy fellow wrapped in silver silk to respond, he said in a softer voice:

"You're born now, and you should be able to origami cranes so I don't have to visit as often, you know, it's easy to get suspicious. ”

Will Ensceine Krees glared at him, but did not reply.

Without flinching, Crane took a good white piece of paper from the side and placed it in the stroller.

Then, he leaned down and scooped out a little ice cream with a silver spoon.

"All the gifts of fate have already been secretly priced, aren't they?" Crane said with a low grin as he moved the silver key in his hand.

Will, who was lying in the stroller, raised his left hand, wiped his tear-stained face, and muttered:

"For the extraordinary of the 'destiny' path, it is all about paying for the things on the price list and then waiting for the gift. ”

As he spoke, the fleshy baby grabbed the white piece of paper, and with a slight difficulty, folded the paper crane with a little sobbing.

Klein stood in front of the stroller, holding the silver spoon steady, smiling at the scene.

............

A horse-drawn carriage departs from Pinster Street and heads to the site of St. Samuel's Church.

As he passed by the house at 160 Berlund Street, Leonard Mitchell looked through the car window and said, as if talking to himself:

"Daun DantΓ¨s is back, too. ”

The slightly old voice sounded in his head:

"Fates will meet. ”

"Old man, when you wake up, you look more and more like a god. Leonard couldn't help but sneer.

Parles Zoroaster laughed twice and did not respond.

After arriving at St. Samuel's Church, Leonard, led by a priest, entered the study of St. Anthony, Archbishop of Beckland.

Anthony Stevenson was dressed in a black and red robe, with deep eyes and a beardless face, standing in the shadows created by the cabinet, as if watching all unknown beings in the depths of darkness, making people feel fear for no reason.

"Your Excellency, what is the matter with you summoning me?" Leonard, though he had expected it, bowed in a non-standard manner.

Anthony bowed his head lightly and said:

"You've made enough contributions to apply to become a Sequence 5 'Spirit Witch', but your 'Requiem' potion hasn't been fully digested, so I'm pulling you out of Sost's squad and assigning you some missions individually. ”

Leonard followed the process and responded:

"You just command. ”

Anthony picked up a stack of papers on his desk and said:

"It's all suspected haunting, and you're going to investigate them one by one, focusing on pacification rather than purification, and if you need assistance, you can draw people from the night watch squad in the area involved. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. "Even if St. Anthony does not command such things, Leonard himself will take the initiative to do them, so he has no opinion on such an assignment.

After taking the stack of papers, he flipped through the pages casually:

"Your Excellency, what is Captain Sost's team up to at the moment?"

Although he focused on revenge for most of the previous half a year, he was loose on the surface, autistic on the inside, and did not establish a deep friendship with the members of the "Red Glove" team, but he was always a teammate who had fought side by side and experienced dangers together, so it was inevitable that he would be more concerned.

"They are working with Crestai on a mission. Anthony Stevenson did not answer in detail.

Her Excellency Cessima's also come to Beckland...... Leonard didn't ask any more questions, and tapped four times clockwise on his chest:

"May the Goddess bless you. ”

"Praise be to the Goddess. Anthony replied with the same gesture.

Out of the archbishop's study, Leonard went all the way down, ready to go underground, find a quiet room, and list the tasks that need to be done, and mark the order in which they are marked.

On the way, he walked on the stairs and subconsciously looked up at the stained glass window high up.

From there, the sunlight shines in, making the colorful patterns more solemn, and the fluttering dust and tiny flying insects are clearly visible.

Seeing this scene, Leonard suddenly remembered the old man's description of Amon, and inexplicably had the illusion that the air was full of the "blasphemer".

He trembled in his heart, and then a doubt arose, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and said:

"Old man, I have a question. ”

"What?" asked Parles Zoroaster slowly.

Leonard suppressed his voice and said:

"Why didn't you parasitize the flying insects in the first place? they are smaller and more hidden, and they can easily hide inside the church without worrying about being found by Amon. ”

"How long can a flying insect live? Always transferring the host is also a great drain on itself, so not only can it not recover a little bit through parasitism, but it will also make the state worse and shorten the life. Parles Zoroaster snorted.

Leonard was a little stunned and asked:

"What about the other creatures? the ones that live a little longer and sneak into the church without notice. ”

Parles Zoroaster sneered:

"It seems that you have not taken some of what I said to heart, and you will suffer a great loss in the future!

"On the transcendent path, the higher the sequence, the more madness and runaway tendencies accumulate, which is the essence of the trait, which can only be suppressed and confronted, and cannot be eliminated.

"Therefore, for the 'parasite', the choice of the boarding object must consider this factor, if the parasite is an ordinary animal, it is only a short-term behavior, but if it is for a long time, it will inevitably be affected by the body structure and hormones, hehe, everything is mutual, isn't it?

"When you are lodged in the body of an ordinary animal, you usually have to talk to people often, not forgetting your former identity, so that the risk of exposure is extremely high, and if you don't do this, you will definitely be affected by the boarding object, gradually lose your voice, confuse your self-positioning, don't know who you are, and be overwhelmed step by step by the tendency to go crazy and out of control. ”

Leonard was inexplicably shocked when he heard this, nodded slightly, and said:

"I see...... No wonder you have to be strict about who you want to stay with. ”

"Are you trying to boast about yourself?" Parles Zoroasd snorted, "For us, the most suitable parasite is undoubtedly the extraordinary of this path, which will be synchronized in all aspects, and also, by cultivating them sequence by sequence, they can also become a supplement to their own transcendent powers, a special medicine for their own state, and take that body for themselves. ”

Listening to the old man talk about such evil and terrible things rather plainly, Leonard frowned slightly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because it meant that the other party would not do this to him.

Parles Zoroaster continues:

"The next best choice is the Extraordinary One of the two paths of 'Fortune Teller' and 'Apprentice', and the absorption of their power will not cause too much burden on the state of the 'Parasite', and can recover relatively quickly.

"It's almost an extraordinary person with brains in other ways, at least good communication and cooperation.

"As for you, hehe......"

Leonard was about to reply to the old man, when he suddenly saw a bishop coming from the bottom of the stairs, quickly closed his mouth, pressed the handrail, and quickened his pace.

............

7:30 p.m., 39 Berklund Street, Rep. Macht's house.

Dressed in a tuxedo, Crane stepped out of the carriage, buttoned up his clothes, and entered the foyer against the backdrop of the fountain of lights, where he saw Maury Mahert, wearing an olive-green military uniform, an orange ribbon, and a battle medal.

His wife, Liana, in her off-the-shoulder dress, smiled and said to Daun Dantès:

"Welcome, our travellers, all waiting for you to share what you have seen in East and West Bairan. ”

"Shouldn't I find a newspaper and start a travel column?" Klein replied jokingly.

Councillor Macht knew exactly what business Dwayne Dantès was going to the Southern Continent for, and this was originally due to his introduction, so after smiling at each other, he took the initiative to step forward, gave a hug, and said in a suppressed voice:

"Well done!"

Klein smiled and nodded, and instead asked:

"Do you still like the gift?"

He was referring to the bottle of River Valley wine that can be used to make sour cocktails.

"It's amazing, that's the taste I miss. Congressman Makht said sincerely.

Klein was about to enter the hall when he noticed something was wrong, glanced at it casually, and asked with a little confusion:

"Miss Hazel is not here?

"Have you gone to the girls' public school yet?"

Lady Liana sighed and shook her head:

"No, she's just sick and school won't be going until September. ”

"Got a cold?" Klein expressed the concern that a guest should have.

Congressman Makht smiled helplessly:

"No, when she went to the country manor a few days ago, she was bitten by a mad rat, and the wound has not yet healed completely. ”

Hazel was bitten...... ...... by a mad rat Crane nodded thoughtfully:

"Did you go to the doctor?

"Well, did the rat get caught?"

"The doctor gave her medication to prevent the infection. "The mouse hasn't been found yet, maybe we'll have to keep a few cats on the estate." ”
