Chapter 46 Alchemy Council

After Chris left the basement, he jumped from the window of the house with great agility. Instead of going through the main entrance, he jumped up to the wall like a cat.

In the night, he walked silently on the wall with his hands behind his back, then turned down silently, and then the boy disappeared behind a few trees.

Almost all the children in the orphanage were asleep, and even those who were not asleep did not notice Chris sneaking in at all.

The silver-haired boy quietly came to the yard and found Vanessa who was looking at the stars under a tree. The girl didn't notice him at all at first, until she was suddenly patted on the head.

"Ah! Chris, you scared me!"

Vanessa didn't realize that someone was approaching her at all, and her face changed with fright. After seeing the young man behind her clearly, she suddenly became angry.

In four years, she has grown up a lot.

Even because women develop early, Vanessa is now a little taller than Chris, but her right leg is still severely deformed, looking horrible and disgusting.

Vanessa pointed her cane at Chris's belly seriously, frowned and said, "Apologise, Chris, you always like to scare people."

Chris was silent. He looked beautiful under the moonlight, like a genderless angel, which even made Vanessa stunned for a moment.

She sighed and said, "Chris, would you please sit over here, let's sit together and look at the stars."

Chris sat calmly next to the girl, knowing that Vanessa must have something on her mind, and soon heard her holding her face in her hands and mumbling her depressed thoughts.

"Chris, I recently heard Dean Erin tell a story that made me feel hard to make a choice."

"In the story, a man with a strong sense of justice let go of his enemy's child, and then his relatives were killed by that child... Dean Irene asked me if I would make the same choice if I were that man."

Vanessa lowered her head and couldn't figure it out. She was still too young.

"I don't know what to do, but children are innocent after all, but killing one's own relatives is really... a very stupid thing to do, right?"

Chris remained silent, knowing that his sister was slowly trying to change Vanessa's perspective, and it was indeed becoming more and more effective.

But she seemed to be in pain inside. Moral dilemmas are often extremely fatal problems for people with strong morals.

For some reason, Chris suddenly remembered the girl who once threatened to teach him a lesson. Deep down in his heart, he didn't really want Vanessa to change, but no matter what he said, wasn't he actively influencing her like his sister?

"Obey, your heart."

Under the stars of the night, his voice was calm and reassuring.

Vanessa turned to look at the silver-haired boy. After a long silence, she couldn't help but say:

"I don't quite understand. What are you talking about? Can't you give me a more accurate answer? Forget it, your mouth is too stupid and you are a bit weird. I can't count on you."

Chris, who was suddenly unhappy, stood up with a cold face and disappeared the next moment.

——

Byrne and Margaret had children, and the three of them lived in the best room in the Fisher family mansion, but it was still far inferior to Margaret's previous living environment in Fein City.

He often stayed up at night, and spent many nights either researching new drugs in the renovated workshop, or secretly discussing secret matters with Irene.

In order to protect his family in the war more than ten years later, for the Fisher family's great achievements, and for Lucius's unfulfilled last wish, Byrne really had too many reasons for people not to sleep peacefully.

In the past few years, Margaret seemed to be vaguely aware that he was hiding something, and she often asked circumstantial questions, but she was fooled by Byrne. Margaret, who was strong at first, was very unhappy, but later she stopped caring.

"Investment or something else?"

Byrne wondered what could be better done with the wealth the Fisher family now has.

It will be a pity if you keep money in your hands and accumulate it without using it, but if the investment fails or is used improperly, you will regret it.

While he was thinking about what to do, he calmly added some kind of zero-level extraordinary material to the reagent bottle containing his own blood, just like he had done before.

At this moment, a voice belonging to his own voice suddenly appeared in Byrne's mind.

[Spirit World, Gate of Shadows]

He was slightly stunned. Research on the blood of members of the Fisher family had been going on for several years. However, perhaps due to bad luck, he had only heard two prompts through the extraordinary properties of the "self-produced formula".

They are the first-level extraordinary material "Wu Sheng Hua" and the "Time of Ashes" with unknown meaning.

According to Eileen, who is not very sure, the so-called "Time of Ashes" may refer to the time represented by the Lord of Ashes among the gods outside the world.

It's zero point.

As for the concepts of the Lord of Ashes and the Gods of the Outer World, Irene said it was best not to mention them too much. Those terrible things did not belong to this world. If they were mentioned frequently, they would attract their attention.

This time, what came to his mind was the third reminder about Fisher's blood, and it actually mentioned the location of the "spiritual world"!

Byrne took a deep breath and could smell the fragrance of the raw flowers placed on the table.

"And what is the so-called 'shadow door' mentioned later in the spiritual world? It seems to be some kind of 'building' that exists in the spiritual world, or it refers to other things or concepts, not some kind of actual door? "

Byrne decided to ask Eileen tomorrow. She still wanted to know more about the mysterious knowledge of the spiritual world. She might even be the person who knew the spiritual world best on the entire continent.

The next day, the first rays of light in the morning after dawn hit the ground.

Byrne, who found Eileen, saw her sitting on the sofa holding a letter, her eyes moving slightly from time to time, as if the content of the letter made the girl deep in thought.

"Eileen, I want to ask about the 'Gate of Shadows'."

Irene was stunned for a moment, her eyes a little confused, and she asked Byrne: "Where did you hear about it? The Shadow Gate is a concept of the spiritual world, existing on the edge of the spiritual world."

Byrne nodded and truthfully explained the prompts that came to his mind.

After hearing all the causes and consequences, Irene thought for a while and continued: "That's it, I understand."

She paused and continued: "The Shadow Gate is a spiritual door that exists on the edge of the spiritual world. It's just that after we arrived in the spiritual world, we didn't know which 'island' it was on. We could only look for it again and again. OK, it’s going to be hard for you to get there.”

Byrne shook his head. He really didn't want to give up, so he could only continue:

"But we have to try. I have been studying the blood flowing in the body for several years, and it is not easy to achieve results. I must not give up halfway like this!"

His eyes gradually became firmer. Sooner or later, the Fisher family would set foot in the spiritual world. It would be better to start studying it from his own generation than to leave the risk to future generations.

Eileen thought for a long time and said calmly: "It is true that we cannot give up halfway, but if we really insist on going to the spirit world, we must be fully prepared."

After she finished speaking, she handed the envelope to Byrne. The words on it were like living golden tadpoles, swimming slightly in front of Byrne's eyes.

He was startled, and then he saw clearly what was written on the letter in front of him. It was actually an invitation letter with a very polite tone.

The organization that invited them called itself the "Alchemy Council." Byrne frowned slightly, vaguely remembering that he had heard of it a long time ago.

It is said that the Alchemy Council is a secret organization established by spellcasters who are proficient in alchemy. It is dedicated to selling and auctioning various items, including but not limited to alchemy props and mysterious items. There are even various prohibited and illegal sales. Taste.

His heart was pounding. After all, many things were difficult to buy normally. For example, treasure-level mysterious items were difficult to trade from people's hands.

Erin stood up from the sofa calmly, took the envelope again and said, "The invited people are you and me, so only we can see the golden words on it."

"Perhaps, we can turn part of the family's wealth into resources to prepare for possible future journeys to the spirit world."
