v3 Chapter 31: The frescoes of Ourorius

Felina Odis, 24 years old, born in Port Enmatt, believes in the Lord of the Storm.

​​

She has been married twice... her first husband is unknown and remains to be investigated;

​​

The second husband's name is Charlie Odis, who was originally a professional manager, and later served as a shareholder of a small bank, taking care of its finances.

​​

Felina followed her second husband to Backlund in May 1349 and rented a three-storey house on Leinster Street in the south area of ​​the bridge.

​​

As Charlie Odis' employer's business involves laundering money for gangsters, as a financial executive, Charlie was hit by a stray bullet and died when he was negotiating with a client in the East District.

​​

Mrs. Filina's life was not troubled by her husband's death... For some unknown reason, she has been buying life insurance for her husband after getting married, and she has received a large amount of compensation.

​​

The insurance company once hired detectives to conduct a private investigation and confirmed that the death of Charlie Odis was an accident and there was no trace of human intervention.

​​

It is worth mentioning that there are rumors that Charlie Odis was just a handsome but idle liar when he was in Port Enmat, but after meeting Felina, he changed his mind and studied hard. He obtained the manager's certificate and was appreciated by the shareholders of the small bank.

​​

Seeing this, Abner squeezed his chin thoughtfully and thought to himself:

​​

"Knowledge changes fate... If Felina is really the one of the five survivors who is dominated by the pollution of the 'wilderness of knowledge'... Then, is this a side effect of 'pollution'?

​​

"Heh, the transformation from a gangster to a manager was completed in such a short period of time. This is not so much 'learning', but more likely that Felina directly gave him this 'knowledge'.

​​

"Just like Bianca can bring bad luck to people and Abby can give people painful curses, Felina's special ability is actually to give her knowledge to others, and then deflect or change their fate?

​​

"And judging from her actions to buy insurance, the deflected or changed fate may not lead to any good results."

​​

While thinking about it, Abner continued to read the content behind, and he saw a familiar name: Stewart.

​​

"This 'secret master' of the Church of the Storms seems to be pursuing Felina? Not only did he fund her to open a museum, exhibit collections, but also let the newspapers under his name advertise for free?

​​

"Well...the luck of this Ms. Filina is very questionable, and there are people who help her wherever she goes. Even the people hired by the insurance company to attack her were either inexplicably exposed to the police, or died in a car accident on the road. ...

​​

"Stuart wouldn't have been unaware of such an abnormal situation? Could it be that he's fascinated?"

​​

Abner was very puzzled. He didn't really meet Stewart, but he also heard about this gentleman's reputation from many sources... Although his reputation was very bad... or even worse than himself!

​​

If it is said that Abner's reputation is still more positive than negative, which is enviable, Stewart's is the negative, and there are even rumors that he is not taboo between men and women, and has an affair with a senior deacon of the Steam Church...

​​

But even if the rumors were true, Abner didn't believe that a "secret master" would really ignore Felina's problems... There must be something inside.

​​

With a sigh, Abner turned his attention to the last few lines of the document, and saw a brief account of the fact that Felina encountered a traffic jam on Wednesday, failed to arrive at the museum as planned, and had a talk with Stewart in the evening. Go travel things.

​​

"Is it 'lucky' again?

​​

"Is she hiding from me, or is she hiding from the 'Red Gloves'...or even the 'Tail Swallower' Ourorius in the original book who will investigate people with unhealthy luck in the near future?

​​

"This kind of 'lucky' is because she is special... Or, she herself is an Extraordinary who has this ability...

​​

"Lucky? Winner?

​​

"The 'Wheel of Fortune' pathway is in the hands of the 'School of Life'... It seems that there is one more reason to visit that little snake!"

​​

Thinking of this, Abner put away the information, looked at Detective Kaslana who had finished breakfast, and said with a smile, "I am very satisfied with the information you have collected... This is the promised reward."

​​

Saying that, he took out an envelope and handed it to the other party, which contained ten 10-pound bills.

​​

Originally, it didn’t take much to investigate such a thing, but because of the time limit, Abner increased the price when he released the task.

​​

After receiving it, Detective Kaslana counted the envelopes and put away the envelopes with satisfaction—for this order, she really did her best and activated all the relationships, so that it could be completed on time, but such a generous reward also Well worth it.

​​

After that, Abner said goodbye to Detective Kaslana, who was already quite tired, and left the restaurant alone.

​​

……

​​

God's War Ruins Sea Area.

​​

With the arrival of "dark night", Klein had to follow the advice of "Admiral Star", returned to his room, and entered the dreamland through "meditation", so as not to disappear in the "darkness".

​​

In the gray world, he suddenly woke up and clearly realized that he was dreaming.

​​

Klein looked around, and then found the top of the boulder not far away. "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya sat there alone, tucked her knees, leaned forward, and stared at the opposite mountain.

She was still wearing that mysterious classic black robe, with an indescribable confusion in her expression.

​​

Why is she in my dream? Klein took a few steps forward and jumped onto the boulder.

​​

Before he had time to ask, he was suddenly shocked by the wide-open scene in front of him, and he felt like he was shaken both physically and mentally.

​​

In front of the boulder is a cliff whose bottom cannot be seen, and on the opposite side of the cliff is a mountain covered with countless palaces, countless towers and majestic city walls.

​​

Those buildings are magnificent and gorgeous, surrounded by layers, and they are extremely huge individually, unlike places where humans live, and together they have an indescribable sense of epic, miracle and myth.

​​

In the sky between the cliffs and countless palaces, there is a huge upside-down mountain floating quietly. There are many unique buildings on it. The central tower is even inserted into the sky, as if touching a very high sun!

​​

"Floating City"!

​​

Except that there are no rails and no brackets, this "floating city" is exactly the same as the one built by Mr. Claus.

​​

This is the prototype of the floating city? When Mr. Claus saw the city here, he came up with the idea of ​​recreating it?

​​

According to the information given by Mr. "Tower", this should be the dream shared by everyone in this sea area... Then whose dream is this floating city?

​​

At this moment, Cattleya, who was sitting on her knees, said in a dream-like tone: "Strange... When I came here with her, I never saw this floating city...

​​

"Only Klaus has seen it before...

​​

"She said, this might be something Klaus has to do with the builder of the floating city.

​​

"She should have her own guesses, but she never told me."

​​

she? The "Queen of Mysteries"? Nine times out of ten, the builder of the floating city is Liu Bo... Could it be that I only saw it because I joined this expedition?

​​

Besides, is that Master Claus also a descendant of Liu Bo? So it was passed down in this dream at first?

​​

With this in mind, Klein considered the proposal to explore around.

​​

"No." Cattleya answered without hesitation, but never shook her head, "I'm going to wait here, wait!"

​​

Seeing this, Klein, who guessed that Cattleya was in a half-sleeping state, did not delay any longer. He jumped off the boulder alone and entered the gate of a black monastery.

​​

Although he also wanted to explore the floating city, the other party floated high in the sky and looked very close, but it was actually very far away... And there might be something terrifying hidden in the sky, so Klein didn't dare to fly up rashly.

​​

Soon, after passing Frank, Heath Doyle, Nina, Navigator Autolov and others, he saw a young man splitting a long, huge tree.

​​

The man was wearing a white shirt and a black vest, with short blond hair that was three to seven, and green eyes focused and serious. He was not any pirate on the ship.

​​

And there is a mural not far from the man. The mural is a sea of ​​burning flames. It splits from the middle and cracks a road.

​​

On the road, there was a long line, and the members bowed their heads reverently, or knelt on the ground, looking extremely reverent.

​​

At the end of the road, above the palace group that appeared faintly, there was a floating upside-down mountain peak!

​​

Their leader, a tall and thin man with long silver hair, soft facial features, closed eyes, and layers of wings behind his back is raising his hand and pointing directly at the floating mountain.

​​

Klein knew the leader on the mural, the "Angel of Destiny", "Tail Swallower" that Little "Sun" had shown, Ourorius!

​​

What does it mean? Did the team led by Ourorius meet Liu Bo's floating city?

​​

Could it be that the Fall of the Floating City ~lightnovelpub.net~ was the work of this "Angel of Destiny"? !

​​

The King of Angels of the Destiny Path... Is it bad luck?

​​

While his thoughts were spinning, Klein asked the young man with the axe:

​​

"Who are you?"

​​

"Who am I? I'm the unlucky Anderson. Ever since I saw that mural, I've been shrouded in bad luck." The young man stopped his movements and said depressedly.

​​

……

​​

Backlund, Abner, who came to visit Will the "Mercury Snake", walked around Dr. Alan Kreis's house for a few times, but couldn't find a suitable excuse to come to the door.

​​

In the end, in desperation, he had to use one of his housekeeping skills - sneak in.

​​

However, as soon as he had this idea, he felt the power of the "dream" attacking him.

​​

Abner's heart moved, but he did not resist, letting the scenery in front of him change...

​​

Soon, he saw a barren black plain, and a pitch-black spire in the middle of the plain.

​​

At this moment, a black stroller slid out of the minaret, and inside lay an indiscernible baby wrapped in silver silk.

​​

The baby said in a clear but helpless voice:

​​

"You came to see me at this time, are you afraid that stupid snake can't find us?"

​​
