Under the heavy snow, the road was very slippery.
Gounières, who had the Secret-Silver Boots, didn't need to worry about the slipperiness of the snow or the collapse of the road.
The Secret-Silver Boots' extraordinary characteristics were stimulated by a slight amount of source energy, making Gounières feel as if he was walking on snow without leaving a trace.
With every step, Gounières could use the Secret-Silver Boots to stabilize his footsteps on the snow and then quickly advance.
Thanks to the powerful effect of the Secret-Silver Boots, Gounières even left the Rank 3 George in the dust.
As they approached the Suge Ruins, Gounières slowed down. Then, Gounières looked at the hazy snow on the other side of the road and frowned.
"This guy runs faster than a rabbit." George, who had caught up from behind, muttered.
"Why did you stop?" George asked Gounières as he came to his side.
Gounières didn't answer, but looked at the other side of the road.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and then a beautiful and valiant figure appeared in their field of vision.
As they approached, Gounières saw clearly that the other party was holding a translucent longsword that was emitting a silver radiance.
It was Viya.
At this time, besides the translucent longsword in Viya's hand, there was nothing else.
The Combat Boots on her feet, the armor on her body, and the helmet on her head were all emitting a silver radiance.
Bathed in the silver radiance, Viya looked like a Goddess of War.
"Phew … …" When she saw Gounières, Viya let out a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're okay. When I received your signal, I was already entangled by someone. I fought with that person for a while before I managed to extricate myself. "
"What's the situation on your side, and who is this?"
Viya sized up Gounières and George behind Gounières. She was still wary.
"I was tricked into getting on the carriage, but I saw through them. After a fight with them, I almost died."
"This is the senior police officer of the Suge Ruins, George Derrick."
"He happened to pass by and saved me."
Gounières briefly explained.
"En!" Viya nodded.
"What was the explosion?" Gounières asked as he looked in the direction of the fire.
"Those heretics besieged the Supernatural Association in a bid to snatch the Sealed Artifacts and mystical items. The Elemental Master guarding the area took action," Viya said succinctly.
"An Elemental Master is that powerful?" Gounières was slightly surprised.
"Master-level experts have already begun to break away from their physical bodies."
"And this kind of change in life form will bring about a great leap in strength."
"Although the difference between a Level 6 Extraordinary and a Level 7 Extraordinary Master is only one level."
"But there are two different life forms, and the difference is quite big."
"Since the Extraordinary Master took action, there should be no problem there."
Viya concluded.
"A Extraordinary Master?"
Gounières and George looked in the direction of the explosion in silence.
Obviously, the Extraordinary Master's powerful means had made the two of them realize how terrifying a Master-level expert was.
With one strike, the terrifying power could be felt within a radius of more than ten miles.
"By the way, we have to make a trip to Old Stone Street."
Viya suddenly said.
"I'm afraid … something has happened there."
"What?" Gounières was shocked.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Immediately, Gounières ran in the direction of Old Stone Street.
Viya followed closely.
George, who was behind him, let out a long sigh of relief. He strode forward and quickly caught up.
Gounières's speed was very fast. Without considering the consumption of source power, Gounières's speed could be said to be as fast as lightning.
They flew all the way to 155 Old Stone Street.
The street was unusually quiet.
The crimson blood moon light covered the ground and the street with a layer of blood-red gauze.
Gounières, who stopped, saw that the familiar door had already opened.
The depths of the door frame that entered his eyes were empty and pitch-black.
Gounières's heart thumped and completely sank.
After pausing for a moment, Gounières felt that his body was a little stiff.
"Inhale … Inhale …"
After a deep breath, Gounières walked into the house with somewhat stiff steps.
Inside the house, it was dark, oppressive, and cold.
Standing in the empty living room.
"Dad!"
Gounières spoke, his voice was a little hoarse and trembling.
No one responded.
Gounières seemed to feel something and looked at the second floor.
Just as he reached the stairs.
"Don't go up."
Behind him, Viya's voice came.
Gounières didn't listen.
"Tap tap tap …"
Gounières quickly went upstairs.
On the second floor, The Elder Kohn's door was wide open.
Meisha's door was wide open.
Inside the two doors was pitch-black.
Gounières stared straight at Meisha's door.
At this moment, Meessa's door was completely sealed off by a thick layer of black fog.
"It's my teacher's Dark Seal, he's checking something inside."
Gounières was about to walk over, but Viya's voice came from behind.
"Don't worry, if there are any clues, teacher will definitely find it."
"Huff …"
Gounières clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down, but the anxiety and uneasiness still filled Gounières' mind.
About three to four minutes later.
"Hualala …"
The Dark Seal quickly receded like a tide.
A man in his forties wearing a top hat came out of the room.
This middle-aged man wasn't tall, he could even be said to be a little short, shorter than Gounières by a head.
He was slightly plump, wearing a black top hat and a loose black robe.
He also had a small mustache, which looked a little funny.
But Gounières didn't have the mood to care about this.
"Where's my dad?" Gounières asked urgently.
Nigel glanced at Gounières, he didn't answer Gounières' question, but asked instead, "Gounières Lawrence?"
"Who's in this house?"
"Meisha, an orphan that dad adopted a while ago."
"You've been living with her for such a long time, she's been cultivating such a terrifying plant under your eyes, you didn't even notice?"
"Terrifying plant?"
Gounières' voice was a little hoarse.
"Human-faced Flower?"
"It's not an ordinary Human-faced Flower."
"Human-faced Flower King?"
"If it's an ordinary Human-faced Flower King, The Elder Kohn wouldn't have been enslaved."
"Yes, Human-faced Flower King." Nigel said softly.
Human-faced Flower King, enslaved!
Gounières' body trembled slightly.
Meisha's plant is a Human-faced Flower King, that seed … was the soaking medicine I refined for her.
I've long felt that she was different.
But I didn't expect …
Scenes kept appearing in Gounières' mind.
Endless self-blame and annoyance surged towards Gounières like a tide.
It swallowed Gounières in the depths of the darkness.
"Phew …"
Nigel, who was gently exhaling, took a deep look at Gounières who seemed to have sunk into his own silence.
He thought for a while and didn't disturb Gounières. Instead, he looked at the hall.
At this moment, George had already entered the hall without anyone noticing.
"George Derrick?" Nigel looked over.
"Hello, Lord Nigel."
George quickly bowed.
"Your police station's sealed area has been blown up, and you're still here?" Nigel said softly.
"What?" George almost jumped up when he heard that.
He didn't even have time to say goodbye before he rushed out of the door.
Taking small steps, Nigel went down the stairs and came to the living room.
He came to the fireplace and piled some wood inside. He rubbed his fingers lightly, and sparks fell on the wood. In an instant, the fire burned fiercely.
Viya closed the door and stood firmly beside Nigel who was sitting on the sofa.
After a full ten minutes.
Footsteps were heard on the stairs.
Gounières, who came down the stairs, had a terrifyingly cold expression. The depths of his pupils were gently suffused with the color of blood.
"Senior Nigel, my father, he …"
"Most likely," Nigel's words were very calm.
The burning wood crackled and popped.
Gounières' body trembled slightly.
Nigel glanced at Gounières and spoke in a mellow voice.
"Do you know what your father's transcendent profession is?"
"It's a Star Digger. The Elder Kohn can see the strange luster that blooms from some extraordinary young boys and girls."
"Coupled with The Elder Kohn's strange transcendent eyes."
"So … over the years, The Elder Kohn was able to discover so many talented young boys and girls, and even a … genius like you."
"As for your father's Transcendent profession, it is one of a kind."
"Those forces have long coveted The Elder Kohn's strange transcendent profession."
"And this time, a miraculous event appeared in the Suge Ruins, and those powerful powerhouses came to the Suge Ruins. Naturally, they came up with this plan."
"A plan specially designed for The Elder Kohn."
"Obviously … they've succeeded."
"When I checked carefully just now, I've already confirmed that a transcendent master used some means to disrupt their tracks."
"Otherwise, I would have chased after them."
