"Sean!" Abner rushed into the duke's room, and saw Sean's face was pale, and Tommen was lying on the ground. Although Herbert was fine, he also looked at the things in the box in shock.

Abner hurried over and closed the box, "I'll just say one more thing, don't open the box, look at Tommen, the curious cat, has fallen."

"Abner...is this the stump we're looking for?" Sean's voice trembled slightly.

"Yes, let's go, let's go to Cloud Blood Wilderness now." Abner picked up the box and walked straight out of the room.

As soon as he stood at the door, he saw Algernon walking towards him with a gloomy face. He frowned and hugged the box tightly.

"What is this?" asked Algernon.

Abner glanced at him, and replied lightly, "It's Adrian's two legs."

Algernon was taken aback, "What? Open it for me to see."

Abner snorted softly, opened the box, and saw that Algernon's face turned pale, "My lord, have you seen it? I'm going to take it away after seeing it. Anyway, this shouldn't belong here. I want to take it away." Go find the original owner."

"Where?"

"Yunxuehuang, I also hope that you will be convenient." Abner said casually, without expecting Algernon to respond.

Unexpectedly, Algernon replied: "I'll arrange the boat right now."

Abner raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Algernon's attitude to change so quickly.

But when Abner saw that the person arranged by Algernon was Shiru, he stopped and stood by the sea, hesitant to go forward.

"What's wrong?" Sean asked.

Abner rolled his eyes and said lightly: "It's nothing, let's get on the boat."

Seeing Abner coming, Xilu hurried forward to help carry the box.

Abner pushed Hiru's hand away, and said flatly, "No need."

Xilu thought that Abner was just in a bad mood, so he didn't bother him, untied the rope, and prepared to sail.

Along the way, Abner avoided seeing Xilu, because he was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions if he was not careful.Finally arrived at the shore, the group walked the original path, not looking at the frequent phantoms of the duke, and soon arrived at the spiritual barrier.

Oreas made everyone back, stood alone in front of the spiritual barrier, then stretched out his right hand, with his index and middle fingers together, aiming at the spiritual barrier, and soon a crack appeared on the surface of the spiritual barrier.

Oreas turned to Abner and said, "Give me the box."

"Don't you need me to go in?" Abner asked.

Oreas shook his head, "Wait for me outside." Then he disappeared into the spiritual barrier.

Not long after, ripples appeared on the surface of the spiritual barrier, the color gradually became lighter, and finally a bright light broke through the spiritual barrier.

Abner saw Oreas standing beside the Duke, who was kneeling on the ground, holding up the bones on the ground as if facing a living person, his eyes full of fascination.

"Adrien, you're back, I've been waiting for you for a long time..." The Duke held Adrian's skull in his hands, kissed him deeply, and then the Duke's figure slowly disappeared.

"Uncle!" Sean rushed over and opened his arms, but only a pile of bones remained.

"Sean..." Abner stepped forward, seeing that his tears were about to roll down, he helped him to rest on a stone beside him, and let Herbert take care of him.

Oreas' whole body was soaked, his long black hair clinging to his body.

"Is it easy to find Adrian's bones?" Abner walked over and asked.

"Fortunately, the corpse actually sank beside the undead."

Abner was startled, looked at the harp brought out of the box, and sighed softly.

Oreas picked up Adrian's bones piece by piece back into the box, and after digging for a long time, Abner could only take out the women's handkerchief, so he had to use this fragrant handkerchief to wipe Aureas water.

Oreas grabbed his hand, and his face darkened when he saw what he was holding.

Abner twitched the corner of his mouth, "Okay, okay...I'll throw it away..."

He threw away the handkerchief, thought for a while, took off his coat and vest, walked behind Oreas in a soft shirt, and suddenly bent down and hugged his neck. Oreas trembled, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?" What?"

"Wipe the water for you," said Abner, twisting his body, the shirt in front of him soaked up the water on Oreas' body and hair.

"Don't make trouble."

Abner made a fuss even more, pulling Oreas by the neck and leaning back, Oreas grabbed Abner's arm to prevent him from falling, and said softly: "Don't fall, stand still. "

"My clothes are all wet. When I stand up, the wind blows and it's cold." Abner took the opportunity to bury his head on Oreas' neck, and a familiar breath came. He liked this breath and rubbed gently Then, the soft lips caressed Oreas' neck intentionally or unintentionally.

Oreas sighed softly, closed the box, grabbed Abner's hand, stood up, put on his coat, and said, "Go and sit next to me, I'll collect the empusae."

"I'll go too!" Abner ran to follow.

The water where empusae grows is not deep. Abner took off his shoes and socks and was about to go into the water when Oreas stopped him, "Just stand there and wait."

Just as Abner was about to refute, Oreas had disappeared into the water, leaving a big ripple.

After a while, Oreas broke out of the water, holding black empusae in his arms, Abner quickly stepped forward to catch it, and Oreas disappeared into the water again.

Repeated this several times, empusae have been piled up very high on the bank, looking from a distance, it looks like a small black hill.Abner went to pick some tall flowering branches from the cloud blood flower bushes, and came back to tie up the empusae in piles.

After tidying up, Abner wiped off his sweat, turned around, and saw Herbert was fanning Sean with a big leaf. Sean closed his eyes, his face flushed, and he collapsed on Herbert's bed. body.

Abner hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with Sean?"

Herbert's hands didn't stop, "I suddenly felt hot all over while crying, and now I fell asleep for some reason."

Abner touched Sean's forehead, it was hot, he was startled, it was better to send Sean back quickly, but he suddenly remembered that he had seen this symptom in that strange book before, using cloud blood flower can ease.So he went to pick some cloud blood flowers, took off the flowers, put them on Xiao En's lower tongue, and fed some water. After a while, Xiao En's body temperature gradually dropped, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Sean! How do you feel?" Abner asked, grabbing Sean's hand.

Sean frowned, his mouth was wriggling, his face twisted up, as if he had eaten moldy bread, he spit out the cloud blood flower in his mouth, and his mouth was full of red juice, "Ahem... what is this thing, the smell It's disgusting. Abner, are you trying to kill me?"

Abner patted his back, passed the water to his lips, and said, "Yes, I almost succeeded, Your Highness."

Xiao En gave him a blank look, and took a big sip of water.

Empusae is very flowery, and there is one less toman. Everyone has to carry a few bundles to bring all these flowers.

Xilu was waiting on the boat, and was shocked when he saw Abner carrying a lot of black things on his shoulders, and hurried over to help.But Abner dodged Hiru's overstretched arm, and with a cold face, he walked onto the boat and put Empusae down.

A few people were floating on the sea, but no one spoke. Hiru first broke the silence. He glanced at the dark things piled up in the cabin, and asked Abner: "Master, master... What are, what are these? ah……"

Abner replied lightly: "Things that let the soul rest in peace."

"Is it some kind of mind-focusing herb?"

"No." Abner glanced at him and said, "This can give those homeless souls a temporary home."

Xilu was startled, and after a long time he said slowly, "Can, can, give me some, some?"

"what are you going to do?"

Xilu raised his head, looked at the vast sea, and said: "Yes, there is an old friend, he, his hometown, is, too far away from here, no, I don't know if he, he has, has been there , home... I hope, hope..."

Is it Adrian?Abner thought.

"Take it away." Abner pulled out a small wisp of empusae, and stuffed it into Shiru's hand, with a gloomy face.

When the boat reached the shore, Algernon had sent men on the shore, and when he saw them arriving, he helped to carry the things on the boat.

Abner turned to leave, seeing Hiru holding the empusae with great care, and then gently placing it on the sea surface, Hiru kept watching it.The dark flowers slowly floated away along the blue water.

Abner's heart trembled, and he slowly asked, "Abel...how is it now?"

There was a smile on Xilu's face, "I can, I can talk, no, I have talked a lot, yesterday, yesterday, I sang, sang, I don't know, where I learned, I learned the nursery rhymes. He looks, most, most like His grandfather, grandpa, in a few days, he will be, will be, will be one year older..."

Abner had mixed feelings, and silently looked at the empusae that was getting further and further away. Suddenly, a gust of wind hit, the tide suddenly rose, and the empusae was bumping in the waves.

Suddenly Xilu's face changed, and he asked: "Master, master...you, how do you know, Abel, I, I, I have never mentioned him in front of you..."

Seeing that Empusae was swept up by the surging sea water, entered a small vortex, and disappeared without a trace, Abner said lightly, "Hilu, the wind is blowing."

Xilu was taken aback, and hurried to strengthen the boat parked on the shore. The sky was dark, and the gray-blue sea was covered with foam. There was only this lone boat on the whole seashore, bumping in the wind and sinking in the water.

"My lord, then Tommen will trouble you, we will go back to Duolun Palace first." When Abner passed by the White Gull Tower, he greeted Algernon and went directly to the stable.

As soon as the group got into the carriage and horses, Tommen ran out, waving his arms desperately while running, "Your Highness—Master God Bird—wait for me—"

Abner leaned out the window and asked, "Would you like to rest here for the night?"

Tommen's eyes widened, he ran even faster, and soon climbed onto his horse, and said with a wry smile, "Master Shenniao, you are trying to kill me."

Abner chuckled, lowered the curtain, and the carriage continued to move forward.

In the city, Abner sent Herbert to the hotel, and then returned to the Doron Palace with Aureas.

"Abner... this is?"

With his hands on his hips, Wens saw his men keep moving bundles of dark plants into the house.

"Black flowers." Abner replied.

Wen Si's frowned eyebrows suddenly opened, and he looked up and down Abner's water-stained face, but he still didn't say anything after thinking about it.

"Hasn't the Priest of the Fire Spirit arrived yet? Has it been almost seven days?" Abner asked.

Wen Si sighed and said, "I don't know either, it stands to reason that it's almost here."

Abnanu pursed his lips, "I hope there is nothing wrong."

Wen Si nodded, and suddenly said, "Do you remember that female ghost with a severed head?"

Abner said: "It seems to be Rosie? Then you imprisoned her boyfriend, Booker, what happened? Is Booker the murderer? If so, I guess his sister will be very sad."

"That's exactly what I'm going to say," Wins said. "A man turned himself in today, claiming to be the killer, and he's what you call a 'tall and strong' man."

"Oh?" Abner chuckled, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Wen Si frowned and said, "It's hard to say. This man is an imbecile. He came to the dungeon this morning and kept saying that he killed someone. We really can't be sure whether what he said is true."

Abner frowned.

Wins continued: "And I received an anonymous letter in the afternoon, mainly saying that this man is not the murderer, and also insinuatingly suspecting who the murderer is."

Abner raised his eyebrows, "Can you show me that letter?"

Wen Si smiled, bent down and stretched out his hand, "Please, my lord."

Abner raised his eyebrows and smacked Wins on the head.

Wins: "..."
