Chapter 544 Best friend

  One afternoon a few days later.

  In a cafe near St. Byron's College.

  Feliciano was stirring a cup of hot cocoa boredly. He looked up at the door from time to time, but he always looked back disappointed.

   Touched the place where the medicinal cloth was stuck on his face, he smiled wryly, and murmured:

   "I hope Raphael won't laugh at me..."

"Hahaha!"

  Laughter immediately came from Feliciano's ears.

  He turned around in astonishment, and saw a handsome young man with long brown curly hair, bending over in an eavesdropping posture, with a presumptuous smile on his face.

   "Raphael, you bastard!"

   Felice Annuo laughed and cursed in embarrassment, and punched his friend Raphael **** the arm.

   "Long time no see, my best friend."

  Raphael wore a close-fitting high-necked aristocratic costume, hugged Felice Anuo cordially, and immediately sat opposite.

   "It's been almost half a year... where have you been during this time? I can't find any news about you, and I even suspect that you have died quietly in some corner of the world!"

   Felice Anuo said quickly, and added another sentence:

   "I suddenly received your letter yesterday, which really surprised me!"

   "It's a long story..."

  Raphael's smiling face showed a little disappointment.

  He first called the waiter, asked the other party to order a cup of bitter coffee, and then said to Felice Anuo:

   "Don't talk about me first, why did I hear that you were beaten up by the eldest son of the Bello family two days ago?"

   "Hey, you are not ignorant of the virtue of that guy Pask. At that time, he humiliated me with a few noble children, and he got angry with them, so he quarreled with them..."

  Felice Annuo had a slightly embarrassed expression.

  Raphael shook his head:

   "You are still the same. You always do things regardless of the consequences. They are extraordinary people. No matter how you suffer, it will only be you."

   "But I can't let them insult my father and family..."

   Felice Anuo said seriously.

"However, the matter has been resolved. Thanks to the new senior, he came forward to teach Pask and his gang for me... The Bello family originally wanted to seek justice, but for some reason, it suddenly died down this morning. Even Pask A few guys, as if they had made an appointment, dropped out of school collectively."

   "Senior?"

  Raphael frowned slightly.

   "Yes, we are both students of the same professor..."

  Feliz Anno then told his close friend Raphael one by one about the fact that he became a disciple of Mr. Jack during this period.

  Raphael's eyes revealed thoughts, and the long curly hair on his forehead fell down, revealing an elegant beauty. At this time the waiter came with hot bitter coffee, he thanked and attached a few red Keshi as a tip.

   "Felice Anno, your professor is not simple, right?"

  He smiled while drinking his coffee.

  Feliz Anno raised his eyebrows, and said proudly and pretending to be mysterious:

   "Of course, I heard from my senior that Professor Jack is not only crowned by a high-ranking saint like Principal Hugo, but also has an honorary title in the mysterious field, called 'Dragon of White Scales'..."

  Rafael's hand holding the coffee froze, and surprise flashed in his eyes under his long hair.

   "Your Majesty Jack Speight..."

   "Raphael, do you know the professor?"

   Felice Anno wondered.

   "No, I don't know... I also hope to know such a big man, but unfortunately this is impossible."

  Raphael smiled self-deprecatingly.

   "It's just that in the past six months, when I was wandering in the mysterious field, I heard a lot about His deeds. It is really lucky and enviable for you to worship Jack as your teacher."

   "So... you haven't actually solved that big problem yet?"

  Feliciano seemed to hear something from the words of his best friend, and asked with concern.

  Raphael fell silent.

  He took a deep breath, then shook his head solemnly.

   "I tried... But no matter what I do, I can't get rid of that dream, and the family elders, including my father, almost everyone hopes that I can wake up the ancestors for the sake of the family..."

  Raphael suddenly realized something, so he stopped the topic and said softly:

   "Forget it, Feliciano, I shouldn't tell you this, it will hurt you."

"What are you talking about? For so many years, I have been helping you find a way, but unfortunately...cough, but I am also a transcendent now. With the help of Professor Jack, I have become a [scholar], next week I will also learn a new magic, and I can help you!"

   Felice Anuo said hastily.

  Raphael quietly looked at this close friend, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly smiled and shook his head politely.

  I am already a Sequence Five [Wax Figure Artist], and I have made no progress in traveling for more than half a year. What can the other party, a newly promoted Transcendent, do?

   But recalling the past, Raphael's expression softened.

  Next to the mountain villa where the Melt family lives, it used to be the Mitchell family's hermitage. The two played together since they were young.

As Raphael grew up, his talent became more and more prominent. Not only did he step into the mysterious field at the age of twelve, he became the ninth [Grave Robber] of the earth system, and he made rapid progress in the following years, and he was born on his twentieth birthday. On the eve, it was already Sequence Six [Gargoyle].

   This stems from the particularity of Raphael.

   There is a trace of the mythical blood of his ancestors flowing in his body!

   At the same time, it is also accompanied by some kind of "curse"...

  Since a few years ago, Raphael has often dreamed of a strange cemetery. He has an intuition that the ancestor of his family, Sid Mitchell, is lying in the huge and ancient coffin in the middle!

  And every time Raphael dreams, he will have strong discomfort and pain, and even a few times because of the dark atmosphere in the cemetery, he almost lost control.

  Because of fear at the beginning, he only told his only friend, Felice Annuo, about this matter... But this friend was just an ordinary person at the time, and there was nothing he could do about it except comfort.

  Raphael later turned to his father and the family for help. However, these people were not surprised but happy, and they were extremely excited that this was the call of the ancestors, and Raphael was the medium connecting the two parties, the hope of revitalizing the family...

  More than half a year ago, Rafael was fed up with the double torment of stress and nightmares, and only left a letter to Felice Anuo, saying that he would find a solution alone, and then disappeared.

   It wasn't until yesterday that he informed his friends of the news of his return.

   "Can't you try to wake up your ancestor?"

  Felice Annuo was silent for a while, and asked cautiously.

   "Perhaps he wakes up, your family will indeed become better, and you won't have this dream anymore..."

"no."

  Raphael shook his head seriously.

"I tried to get close to that coffin, but as I approached it, my sanity would drain rapidly. I'm afraid I lost control before I even touched it...Maybe it's only after I'm promoted to a high position that it's possible to completely solve this matter. thing."

   he said, sighing.

  And there is one more thing that Raphael didn't tell Feliciano, that is, about half a year ago, some changes occurred in the cemetery in the dream... On that coffin, there was an extra white snake.

  He doesn't know what this means, but it always feels dangerous.

   "Don't worry, Feliciano, the reason I came back this time is because I have a certain clue..."

  Raphael comforted his friend looking at his sad face.

"To the northeast of Qidi Port, three hundred kilometers away on the misty sea, there is a ruins of a deserted island. There may be a kind of extraordinary material there. The medicine refined with it can temporarily shield this effect, so that I can enjoy a period of time. peaceful."

   "I'll go with you, who knows what dangers there will be, one more person will do more!"

   Felice Anuo said quickly.

  He was worried that Raphael would refuse, so he brought out his trump card:

"It really doesn't work, I'll ask the professor for help, or ask the Polaris senior to go with them... The senior is already a Destiny Sequence Six Transcendent, and the two seniors also have a Sequence Seven. They are very powerful! And my family has money, so I can pay them a A big reward, they will agree!"

  Raphael opened his mouth, ready to refuse.

  But after seeing Feliciano's resolute expression, he couldn't help but think about it again, and felt that this would indeed be safer, so he nodded and said:

"Alright... But I will pay for it, and I don't have to bother His Majesty Jack. You may not know what it means to be his student, but I can tell you that most people in the mysterious field You don't have such good luck... You have to know how to cherish, so don't lower His evaluation and impression of you because of my trivial matter."

   "Is that so... well, okay then."

   Felice Anuo said with a half understanding.

  He looked at the hot cocoa in his hand, and then laughed:

   "Let's eat something first, we haven't eaten together for a long time."

   "Give me a..."

  Just as Raphael opened his mouth, Felice Anno had already picked up the menu and told the waiter:

   "A red wine stewed oxtail, a seafood fried rice, two platters and dim sum, and..."

  Feliz Anno turned his head and blinked at him:

   "The taste hasn't changed, has it? I remember you like seafood fried rice the most."

   "Of course it hasn't changed."

  Raphael smiled emotionally.

   Immediately afterwards, the two chatted about each other's life for the past six months while eating. After a while, Feliciano said rather distressed:

  “Recently, for some reason, I always feel very unlucky... I fell down while walking in the academy, was hit by a carriage on the road, and almost burned to death in a burning room when I got home.”

  Raphael listened, slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, and his expression became serious... His first reaction was to think of mysterious events, and his friend might be affected by something.

  He put down his spoon and asked:

   "Have you had any feud with anyone recently?"

   "No... Of course, except for Pask and those guys."

  Felice Anno pouted.

  Raphael frowned and thought about it, then asked again:

   "It shouldn't be them... Then have you picked up or bought any strange things?"

   "No... hey, I gave alms to a beggar on the side of the road two weeks ago, and he gave me a ring at that time, does that count?"

"show me."

  Raphael said in a deep voice.

  Feliciano took out a ring from his pocket and handed it to his friend. After Raphael took it, his brows frowned even deeper.

   I saw that this ring was bronze in color throughout, inlaid with a square cheap emerald, and engraved with the logo of a diagonal cross in the middle.

  Raphael could clearly perceive that this ring contained extraordinary power, and at the same time contained some kind of malice and curse.

   "That's what got you down, Feliciano."

   He looked up and said.

  Felice Annuo looked a little stunned.

   "In the future, we must stay away from such strange things."

  As a genius of the Mitchell family, Raphael was cultivated since he was a child, and then mixed in the mysterious field after he grew up. He knows this all too well.

   He squeezed the ring flat with his fingers, and the cheap gemstones on it were directly turned into powder.

  Felice Anno felt a burst of relief inexplicably.

   "Thank you, Raphael, I seem to feel... my body has become lighter."

"now it's right."

  Raphael shook his head with a smile.

   "And thank you, you didn't see outsiders like this before."

  Feliz Anno laughed, and immediately asked:

   "By the way, when are you planning to set off for the ruins of the deserted island?"

   "Next week...Friday morning."

  Raphael thought for a while and said softly.
