The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v2 Chapter 641: Prague at night

On the streets of Prague late at night, there is a deep magical atmosphere.

The stone roads and walls are illuminated by dimmed gas lamps, and the empty streets seem to still have phantoms of yesterday.

Bloodborn used to roam the streets here, looking for their prey in the dark.

The astrologer in a long robe heard the commotion on the street, and looked out from the observatory into the street.

Carrying a lantern engraved with a spell, the night watchman hurried past. The vampire hunter watching all this is waiting for the opportunity, coveting the teeth of the blood...

Such moments faded with time. After the European God Court became more and more powerful, the living space of blood descendants was severely squeezed, and those ancient immortal races were almost extinct now. After unifying the beliefs, alchemy and astrology have long since declined.

In the late night streets today, there are only night watchmen who are no longer elite, and they are still patrolling lazily with the ancient oil lamp. The exorcism charm on the oil lamp seems to still tell the story of yesterday.

However, tonight seems to be a repeat of yesterday. A black figure climbed over the stone wall and landed lightly, barely making a sound. The light from the street lamps illuminated the half-black, half-white hat on her head. When she jumped up again, she lightly pressed the chic hat on her head with her hand, her figure was light and beautiful, and the dull night watchman would never see her figure clearly.

The statue of the saint on Charles Bridge just looked down and silently, as if promising to keep the lady a secret.

Alicia Pompey is heading towards the Prague Museum next to the Astronomical Tower in the center of the old city according to the already planned route.

At this moment, Alicia is confident in one thing: the entire Continental Daedalus does not know the true purpose of her and Wright.

In the Bodleian Library, the oldest library on the Continent in Greene, they found a key ancient book.

In that ancient tome, Alicia Pompey finally found a way to end the curse of immortality on Wright.

The ancient book written in ciphertext was the personal notes of Wright Flamel's father, Neilman Flamel, known as the "Dawn Warlock". After deciphering, Alicia and Wright knew how the legendary alchemist obtained the Philosopher's Stone.

The "philosopher stone" was originally a rare source of divine power. After spending most of his life, Dawn Warlock finally found a mysterious heritage that seemed to only exist in Middle Eastern mythology. When the gods in that treasure were sleeping, he stripped the source matter and the **** core, and used his son's soul as a container to carry the source matter of the divine power that could make people's "dreams come true"—he called it point gold stone.

And the method of destroying the Philosopher's Stone without causing destruction also emerged:

Find the mysterious heritage that was abandoned due to the stripping of the source matter, return the source matter of the divine power to the still sleeping **** core, and let the **** go on a long voyage.

The **** left this world with the divine power that originally belonged to him. In this way, there will be no more horrible wishing substances at the cost of other people's souls, and Wright will become an ordinary human being, and he can finally welcome his own rest.

As long as things that belonged to others are returned to their true owners, everything can get back on track. It's that simple.

In order to achieve this goal, Alicia took great pains.

Although there are Daedalus spies all over the continent, for a female chess player, she still has a huge advantage: Erwin Schrödinger, who is now in charge of the foundation, although he is not as good as Alvin Schroedinger, who killed the former president. Alicia hated it deeply, and wanted to wipe out the independent Ocean City branch, but he didn't know that Alicia and Wright's real purpose was to destroy the Philosopher's Stone.

From Schroedinger's point of view, the traitors from the Ocean City branch came to Europe to start a battle for Daedalus' industries and strongholds.

Alicia, who was not in the upper hand, arranged three teams to compete in different industries in Daedalus. One of them, disguised as herself by the "makeup artist" Jennifer, headed towards Finchburg in Sweden. There is the "Protocol Failure Warning Office", which is one of Daedalus' most important legacies.

Whoever has the right to monitor the containment failure of the angels will be recognized by the Continental Divine Court. The fight for Fort Finch is exactly the fight for the legitimacy of the Foundation.

Such a large formation is to make Schrodinger mistakenly believe that his purpose is to eat away at the foundation's industry. And that overly conservative chess player would never have imagined that her real purpose was to sneak into the Prague museum, find the mysterious heritage displayed in the glass window, and erase the philosopher's stone from the world, setting Wright free.

This is Alicia's plan to cover up the theft with a fighting posture.

After arriving in Prague with Wright, the cautious female chess player observed this city with a long history for three days. After making sure that Schrödinger did not arrange an ambush, she finally took action on the third night.

The thin clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moon shining brightly on the ancient city for thousands of years sprinkled its brilliance. The spire of the museum can already be seen.

Alicia closed her eyes, but the city in front of her did not disappear, but turned into a three-dimensional model composed of geometric shapes. Below the model is a black and white grid—the whole of Prague has become a huge chessboard in her eyes.

There are many figures walking around with oil lamps on the chessboard. They are the night watchmen of the whole city. At this moment, their movements have been completely controlled by the female chess players.

She pressed Edshu's black and white hat on her head again: "Attention, I'm ready to jump."

In her vision of the chessboard, a mysterious giant hand came down through the clouds, and the silhouette of the queen's chess pieces appeared around Alicia's body. The Hand of God lifted the chess piece and leaped straight ahead. Prague shrank an inch below Alicia, and she was transferred to the roof of the museum in a blink of an eye.

The chess piece was put down, and the magic hand retracted to the sky.

"Queen's Leap", one of the amazing magical arts mastered by female chess players. As the "queen" of the chessboard, Alicia has amazing mobility in the open field.

The breeze blows, the moonlight is more prosperous, and the whole world seems to be illuminated into a white flower garden. Such a magnificent scene made the female thief, who was a little anxious tonight, couldn't help lingering on the roof of the museum.

The moonlight illuminated the mottled ground and railings here, and Alicia discovered the traces left a hundred years ago. Those traces covered by paint are reversed into a stunning duel in the eyes of the female chess players. The two sides of the duel are... Alicia opened her eyes wide, and she clearly saw that the two sides of the duel were a thousand-year-old blood and a pure-blood werewolf.

For some unknown reason, two strong men at the time had a life-and-death struggle on the top floor of the Renaissance-style building in the museum.

In the end, Alicia's eyes followed the two figures from a hundred years ago... The blood descendant caught the werewolf and flew away from this place. The night sky a hundred years ago coincided with today's moon, and the two gradually flew away and fell into the town Continue to fight fiercely... the final result, today's Alicia has no way of knowing.

Only those lingering paw prints, cracks, and the ancient city that is now yawning under the gaze of the gods.

"It was like this here in the past," Wright said with a smile on his head. "It's very lively. There are endless stories to tell."

Alicia could tell that Wright liked it here. She can understand that feeling, because even though she hasn't been with this city for a long time, she is also somewhat fascinated by it.

The unknown thief walked quickly to the tall window~lightnovelpub.net~ Just as she was thinking about how to enter the locked window without leaving a trace, the hat on her head fell to the ground by itself. A half-black and half-white face appeared on the stage, and Wright became the "God of Mischief", Edshue again.

"Ma'am..." The black and white suit crept up to Alicia, with an indescribably strange appearance, "I will show you a unique skill—" He took the hand of the female chess player and walked towards the museum step by step. The next step, They had passed through the window and stood in the dark corridor. The moon outside the window is like a questioning eye, staring at the person who walked into the window.

"Edshu's show through the wall." When he took off his hat and saluted, he had already changed back to the young man with half-length black curly hair.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Yuehua was still watching them through the window. Like melting ice, the smile on Alicia's face revealed a bit of confusion and bewilderment—they knew they were about to achieve what they wanted, and that would be a farewell, a necessary farewell.

The atmosphere was no longer suitable for continuing to look at each other, and the two turned to the dark direction of the corridor at the same time.

"Let's go and find that thing. Let's get this done together."
