Hualala …
The rain continued to fall.
In the air, the smell of burning magic source coal was washed away.
It was replaced by a moist and cold breath.
Blackmap District, Old Stone Street.
Gounières, who was wrapped tightly in his coat, held an umbrella and walked quickly along Old Stone Street.
"An autumn rain and a cold winter."
"After this rainy day, I'm afraid it will snow in winter!"
While thinking, Gounières had already arrived at Building 155.
Taking out the key, Gounières opened the door and went into the house.
Inadvertently, Gounières caught a glimpse of a very wide aristocratic carriage, which was mainly black in color, parked on the opposite side of Old Stone Street.
When the Suge Ruins was built, it was said that the designer of the whole city was a loyal fan of steam locomotives.
The width of the street was for the steam locomotives, so it was abnormally wide.
Nowadays, steam locomotives were very popular in the Empire's territory.
And in a border pearl like Suge Ruins, carriages were still the mainstream.
"The life of the rich is good."
"It would be great if I could have my own small mine in the northern mineral vein area."
However, Gounières also knew that he was just thinking about it.
If he wanted to have his own mine in the northern mining area.
Not only did he have to be an aristocrat, but he also needed to apply for the mining rights of the mine.
If he didn't have a stable relationship with the existence of a great aristocrat at the level of the "Yulan Congress", it would be impossible for him to get the mining rights.
In addition to that, he also needed steam machinery technicians and enough private soldiers to protect the mine.
Aristocrats who didn't have a territory didn't have the financial resources to support all of this.
After Gounières closed the door.
Inside a very luxurious and wide dark aristocratic carriage parked on the opposite side of the road.
A man in his early thirties, with a handsome face that looked like it had been carved by a knife, looked through the glass window and watched the whole process of Gu Nie entering Building 155 with an umbrella.
Then, his gaze fell on a small window on the second floor.
After a long time, he slowly retracted his gaze.
At this time, a beautiful woman in a thin veil lightly clung to the man's body as if she was boneless.
"What? You can't bear to do it? "The veil woman said gently, full of charm.
"Too late, someone has already … come." The man's voice was hoarse and magnetic.
"Oh? Who? "
"Viya." The man said the name clearly.
"Viya? The genius contract master. " The veil woman was slightly surprised.. She looked out of the carriage's glass window and saw the houses on the street with few pedestrians.
"You know her?" The man tilted his head slightly, his rough palm gently brushing the woman's jade-like cheek.
"Of course I do. Some time ago, Wei Ya killed her way into one of the Soul Shepherding Church's strongholds. I heard that she killed at least twenty superhumans from the Soul Shepherding Church."
"There are quite a few middle-grade superhumans among them."
"This Wei Ya became famous in one battle."
The man chuckled.
"Indeed."
"Viya was born with the unique ability to communicate with the Artifact Spirit Realm. She's the one who unsealed the ancient artifact spirits.
"With some powerful contract rituals, she can easily sign contracts with powerful artifact spirits. She has a bright future.
"Although she's only Transcendent Rank-4, regular high-level Extraordinaires might not be her match."
When the woman heard this, she only smiled. "But she's still no match for you, isn't she?"
"If she's Rank-6 like me, maybe we'll have to have a fierce competition to determine the winner.
"But she's only Rank-4."
The woman searched outside but to no avail. Then, she clung to the man again and said softly.
"The Elder Kohn is nothing to worry about. That genius pharmacist is just a pharmacist.
"And Viya, who's Rank-4, is nothing to worry about."
"Then why don't you do it?"
The man pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"Viya is Nigel's disciple."
"Nigel? That lunatic? "
"If it's not him, who else can it be?"
"If she's alone, we can do it. Kill The Elder Kohn and Viya, and then take away that genius pharmacist.
"But you underestimate Nigel too much." The man sighed.
"Those who underestimated Nigel all suffered a great loss. Some even paid with their lives.
"Viya's arrival is a warning.
"So we can't do it. All we need to do is wait."
"Wait?" The woman was slightly surprised.
"Yes, wait!"
"Why? We're here partly for that genius pharmacist. If we wait, someone else will beat us to it. "
"Don't worry."
The man glanced at the window on the second floor.
"A seed has sprouted.
"If I didn't know some secrets about the Human-Faced Flower Cult and have the Eye of Time, I wouldn't have been able to discover it."
The man murmured softly in a voice that only he could hear.
"The Human-Faced Flower Cult. What a big deal."
"On the day of snowfall, when the Human-Faced Flower King blossoms."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how powerful the Human-Faced Flower King of the Human-Faced Flower Cult has been plotting for a long time."
Then, the man looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar room number 155.
He seemed to be reminiscing, but also seemed to be lonely.
"My Old Man Kohn, you probably don't know, but you've already … taken the bait!"
Then, the man raised his head, and his smile became brighter.
Blood-red pupils reappeared in his eyes.
His smile was like an abyss demon.
…
"A guest?"
Just as he opened the door.
Gounières heard the sound of conversation and laughter in the room.
His gaze swept across the living room.
Gounières couldn't help but be slightly startled.
In the living room, there was a young noble lady with golden curly hair wearing a black robe and cloak. She was enjoying the warmth of the fireplace with The Elder Kohn and chatting happily.
Beside her feet, leaning against the direction of the burning fireplace, a medium-sized Devil Dog was lying down and taking a nap.
This young noble lady was the Extraordinaire woman that Gounières saw at the station.
"Oh! You're back. "
Seeing Gounières come in, The Elder Kohn stood up and smiled. "Come here, let me introduce you."
"This is Miss Viya."
"Good afternoon, Miss Viya." Gounières stepped forward and performed an unfamiliar aristocratic etiquette.
"This is Gounières Lawrence. He's the genius pharmacologist that I mentioned to you just now. "
Viya bent her knees slightly, and at the same time, she slightly lifted the sides of her robe and nodded in greeting. Her movements were smooth and natural.
"Good afternoon, Your Excellency Gounières."
Viya's voice had a unique feminine charm.
It had been a few days since they came to the Suge Ruins.
Viya didn't recklessly approach Gounières.
Instead, she secretly began to observe Gounières Lawrence, the genius pharmacologist.
After all, the main purpose of her trip was to protect this genius pharmacologist.
It was far more suitable to protect him secretly than to protect him closely.
When she confirmed Gounières's identity, she was surprised.
Back at the train station, she had noticed Gounières.
However, after several days of observation, Viya was very surprised.
The thick bloody aura of the other party quickly disappeared.
If she hadn't known in advance that Gounières had become an Extraordinaire, she would have thought that he was just an ordinary pharmacologist.
It must be noted that she was already Transcendent Rank-4. Although she wasn't an Extraordinaire with strong observation skills, she was still a Rank-4 being.
However, the man was only Transcendent Rank-1, yet he could fool her.
She secretly clicked her tongue in amazement.
