My nemesis tempts me every day

"If the night sky is clean enough, then go to the lighthouse at the highest point in Matilda when the moon is closest to the ground."

"At that time you will be able to pick off a winking star as a gift to her beloved."

……

In an inconspicuous small hotel on the outskirts of Matilda, a showgirl is trying her best to sing her favorite song with her most melodious voice. Unfortunately, the only thing that complements her is the monotonous whistling of the wind and the slammed door of the hotel. The creaking sound of blowing and shaking.

Her dress has become very old, and there are a lot of oil stains on the cuffs and chest. At first glance, she looks like a poor and destitute person.

Contrary to what she sang, there was no moon in the sky long ago, and the hotel should be closed after singing this song. The scattered guests on the first floor might not give her much copper coins, but in order to earn more she I still sang with my neck stuck, white gas would come out of my mouth every time I sang.

The proprietor of the inn was drowsy on the counter, lazily beating time for the showgirl with one hand.

It's already this time, so there shouldn't be any new guests staying. When the lady finishes singing and the guests listening to the song leave, he can also close up and rest.

Just when the hotel owner thought so, three dusty uninvited guests burst in from outside the gate, and the wind brought in blew out two candles on the counter.

The innkeeper found a torch and lit the extinguished candles before looking at the three guests who came in.

Their faces were covered with veils, their eyes were beautiful, and they looked like three young women. Although the clothes they wore were simple in style, the fabrics they used were obviously expensive.

Two of the women had staffs pinned to their waists, indicating that they were two magicians.

Only rich people can afford to learn magic. These three are both distinguished and rare guests.It's no wonder that a mere woman dares to go out and walk after dark, and she can use magic without fear.

But why did they come to his little hotel in the middle of nowhere?Like those people, are you also for the "that matter" of the Holy See?

Although the hotel owner was curious, his principle was never to ask about the privacy of the guests. He straightened his wrinkled clothes, wiped the lenses of his glasses, and went forward.

"Would you like to eat or stay?" the boss asked.

"Stay in the hotel." The tall woman at the front said.

"Oh, you also know that it's a special period recently, so the price..."

The innkeeper saw that the three of them were rich owners, so he couldn't help but wanted to blackmail them.

There was no hesitation on the tall woman's face, and she asked casually, "How much?"

The innkeeper compared the numbers.

The tall woman pointed to the upstairs, and then threw a few gold coins to the boss: "Live for a week first."

The song girl's singing stopped for half a second, and the passengers who were listening to the song also turned to the counter sideways.

The innkeeper didn't expect that the other party gave him gold coins. He only wanted some silver coins.

Neither the boss nor they have seen the appearance of gold coins for a long time.

"One week?" The shortest woman exclaimed, "I don't want to be in this kind of... umm..."

She was covered by the woman beside her, unable to say the following words.

The boss was dazzled by the few golden coins, and the smile on his face could hardly be concealed. After counting the money to find supplies, he smiled and wanted to lead the three guests.

This shrewd boss doesn't care about the harsh words of the short lady. He has already seen that the tall woman is the one who has the most right to speak among the three, after all, she has already spent a huge sum of money.

The innkeeper was walking at the front of the stairs with a candlestick in his hand. The short woman kicked her legs and was dragged up by the woman who covered her mouth. The tall woman also hurried up the steps. Soon the three of them came upstairs.

The boss opened the door of the guest room, and a smell of dust and musty came out of it, making the three ladies cough one after another, and one of them sneezed cutely.

The hotel owner apologized: "I'm really sorry, our hotel doesn't have enough staff, and the usual cleaning work is not diligent enough, the guest room is a bit dirty...Do you need me to clean it for everyone now?"

The tall woman coughed and made a useless gesture: "We'll do it ourselves, you can go."

"Okay, come down and let me know if you need anything."

The innkeeper responded and put the burning candlestick on the shoe cabinet at the door.

His guest didn't want him to get in the way, so he dutifully left the scene.

When the innkeeper's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Angelina finally let go of Tracy's mouth, and then took off her veil, and so did Priscilla.

"Bah... the smell here is really bad. How is this room worth those gold coins?" Tracy complained immediately after her mouth was freed, and she tore off her veil after complaining.

"The neighborhood is full of people..." Angelina whispered.

Tracy snorted: "Then you can also take silver coins. What is it like to give gold coins directly? Didn't you see the expression on the boss? He only wanted silver coins."

Priscilla ignored her sister and walked into the guest room, using her mental power to detect two magic lamps, one at the bedside and one opposite the window.

After figuring out the location of the lamps in the room, Priscilla swung her staff and used her fire magic to bring light to the guest room, and only then the three of them were able to see the scene inside the room clearly.

The appearance of this room and the hotel is hopelessly dilapidated, the walls are covered with white wall powder, spider webs and accumulated dust are everywhere in the corners, and even the wooden floor is damaged due to years of wear and tear. The temperature changes have been polished by the years and remain unchanged.What's worse is that the temperature inside the house is as low as outside, even though the windows are closed tightly, but the window glass is damaged and there is air leakage.

Priscilla closed the door and said, "I'll go check on the water supply." Saying that, she stepped into the bathroom.

"It's so cold." Tracy shrank her neck and walked to one of the beds.

"!"

She didn't pay attention to her feet, and accidentally kicked an upturned plank, and fell directly into the painful and embarrassing dog gnawing mud.

"Tracy!" Angelina was stunned, and hurried over to help Tracy up, and then took Tracy's elbow, and saw that the skin was still scratched, and the black plaster was messy. above the wound.

"Ah, you're bleeding here!" Angelina covered her mouth, "Hurry up and use healing magic, or you'll leave a scar."

Tracy frowned. Her ass hurt more than her elbow.She pursed her lips and said, "You won't... lend me your handkerchief."

"Go to the church tomorrow and let the clergy heal." Angelina blinked.

"No, I'm not as delicate as you."

"..."

Angelina was choked, and resentfully took out the handkerchief and handed it to Tracy. Tracy took the handkerchief and wiped off the plaster a few times without even looking at it. She stood up and was about to throw it out of the window.

Angelina's face turned pale when she saw this, and she quickly grabbed it with her hands. Unexpectedly, Tracy was so flexible that she missed it by turning her body slightly. I like it very much, why did you throw it away?"

"But it's already dirty, isn't it?" Tracy's eyes were full of innocence, "Why, do you still want to keep it?"

"Just wash it." Angelina puffed up her face.

"Pfft, you really don't look like a noble lady." Tracy sneered, and twirled the handkerchief around her fingertips, "I don't want to return it to you because you want it so much."

"This..." Angelina drooped her shoulders regretfully, like a deflated balloon.

If Tracy said no, it would definitely not be returned to her.

Tracy observed Angelina's expression, and felt a little discouraged seeing her compromise so quickly, she muttered, "It's just a handkerchief..."

She stuffed the handkerchief into her pocket and took a few steps to sit on the bed. There was a bad smell and the mattress was still hard. Tracy's conditioned reflex bounced back, with disgust written all over her face.

As the lady of the duke's mansion, she actually wants to sleep on such a bed for a week?It's scary to think about it.She'd rather be camping in the wild!

Angelina also made a guess when she saw Tracy's expression. She was actually very reluctant, and she had retreated for a while since entering the hotel.

At this time, the temperature in the room rose, and Priscilla came out of the bathroom: "I have completed the magic circle for water supply and temperature control, and the magic circle for temperature control has been activated."

Tracy turned her head and asked, "Did you use magic stones or your own magic power?"

"Of course it's a magic stone. How can magic power be used on it?" Priscilla put one hand on her hip.

She stood there thinking for a few seconds, then called out Angelina's name: "Miss Greenwyn, you can help too, I want to reserve some water in advance, can you help me clean up the room?"

Angelina hummed, looked at Tracy and asked, "Shall we help too?"

"what?"

Tracy looked visibly unhappy.

Angelina sighed, thinking that she should go alone, obviously the three of them were noble ladies, and she felt a little sorry for Priscilla being the only one busy there.

Guessing Angelina's intentions, Tracy raised her voice and asked, "Lena, aren't you staying with me?"

Angelina and Tracy looked at each other and saw a pair of shining eyes.

She softened and was about to speak, but Tracy jumped off the bed.

"Forget it, I'll go out for a walk, you can stay here and help her."

Angelina watched Tracy go out, and felt that she shouldn't have said that, but...

She looked at the door of the bathroom, Priscilla activated a magic circle inside to store water, that should have been her job, because here she is the only one who is proficient in water attribute magic, Priscilla's talent is wind and fire, which has nothing to do with water. Using magic circles to store water would cost magic stones. Priscilla hoped that she and Tracy would stay together before volunteering to take on jobs that were not suitable for her. How could Angelina not see it?

Angelina sympathizes with Tracy's experience. It is difficult for a person without magical aptitude to live in a magical family full of geniuses, but it is not easy for others to just accommodate. If only Tracy could understand the people around her alright.

Everyone actually loves her very much, why did she deliberately ignore it?

Angelina felt sullen.

She may have taken herself too seriously, thinking that with her own efforts, she could change Tracy and open Tracy's heart, let her let go of the shadows and obsessions of the past, and be a little more sunny... But she couldn't do it at all. arrive.Tracy's knot...she couldn't untie it.

……

Tracy was walking back and forth on the aisle outside to relax, and the broken floor made a sound when she stepped on it, which made Tracy feel very uncomfortable.

She followed her with her third sister because she was afraid that her second brother and that commoner would not be able to take care of Ronoye. Priscilla was very worried about her without magic power, and she got the opportunity to accompany her because she insisted on making noise.Before leaving, Olwin told them about Ferga's current situation, and both she and Priscilla were very worried.

If the external turmoil of Ferga reflects the internal chaos, then Uleni is the eye of the typhoon and the heart of the volcano. The temporary calm does not mean that the next second will not turn the river into a catastrophe.

Ronoye was involved in the struggles of all parties, external and internal troubles, how to reassure them.

After losing the trace of Alvin and the Knights, they inquired in the land city for a few days before they found out that the high priest of the Holy See seemed to have received a very special person, and in two days it would be announced to the people of Uleni A very important thing.

Priscilla guessed that the incident had something to do with Ronoye and the others, so she came to Matilda for a stay.And it's really not very peaceful here. In just a few days, Matilda's hotels were crowded with guests who flocked from all over the place. The evidence is that the latecomers can only enter the hotels of this level.

Tracy stopped in front of a window and looked at the moon in the sky with a sad expression, and put her hands together to pray that Ronoye was all right now.

At this moment, she felt the breath approaching behind her.

Tracy turned around and saw a figure hiding in the shadows.

"You're so alert, your compatibility with the dark forces is amazing, Miss Tracy."

The woman who spoke had a seductive voice.

Tracy didn't panic, both she and Ronoye had been kidnapped before, especially since she didn't know magic, the bad guys attacked her more often, against the background of those horrible experiences, facing a mysterious person with unknown origin and purpose, she Be able to treat each other rationally at the first time.

After a little analysis, she has heard this voice before, and the last time she heard it was quite close.

To confirm her guess, Tracy asked, "Are you the singer who sang before?"

"Oh, you're not scared at all." The figure didn't answer Tracy's question, "I thought you would call Miss Priscilla right away."

Tracy said coldly: "I don't like to trouble her, neither before nor now."

After hearing this, Human Shadow laughed for a while and said: "They are sisters who are in the same line. One is a waste material who doesn't know magic, and the other is a good wood with outstanding talent. Why is there such a big difference? Have you never been jealous?"

"You want to sow discord?" Tracy raised her chin contemptuously, "I won't fall into your trap."

The tone of the mysterious man's voice was as pleasant as singing, but the content of his words was not pleasant at all: "Well, let me put it this way, the owner of the divine power and the dark power appear in the same family at the same time, like the two poles of a magnet, The bloodline of Amphelos really has unlimited possibilities for the owner."

Tracy was startled, Olwen, Gustav, and Priscilla didn't have divine power, so was this mysterious person talking about Ronoye?But who is the owner of the dark power...

The mysterious man said again: "Miss Tracy, you are also a descendant of Amphelos, have you ever wondered why you are the only one who cannot use magic?"

Even though she knew she couldn't ask any more questions, Tracy still asked as if bewitched: "Why...what?"

The mysterious man giggled coquettishly: "That's because your magic power has been sealed - by your biological parents. You have power that you shouldn't have, and you are favored by demons... If you grow up, you will definitely be banned by the Holy See." Sentence to death, in order to protect you, your parents have deprived you of the chance to become a blood mage."

Tracy couldn't believe her ears.

What is this woman talking about?

Her father and mother sealed her magic?

She... was supposed to be a blood mage?

absurd!ridiculous!

That is a blood mage that is considered taboo by everyone, full of evil and curse... How could it have anything to do with Amphelos, a surname with countless honors?She... If she really became a blood mage, she would definitely shame her parents.

Thinking of this, Tracy said angrily: "I won't believe you!"

She would rather be an ordinary person forever than be a blood mage despised by everyone.

"Hehehe, don't reject the power from the abyss, this is your only talent... It's a pity that you can no longer become an excellent blood mage, your magic power has been sealed for too long, even if you unseal it immediately It won't increase by half a point, although you already had good magic power when you were born, but you are gone, what can you do with that little magic power? Oh, I feel sorry for you, Miss Tracy."

Tracy couldn't listen anymore, she roared: "I won't listen to every word you say, stop trying to seduce me! If you want to take me away or kill me, do it quickly, if you don't Just get out!"

"Oh, it's so fierce, I just want to help you." The mysterious man threw a book to Tracy coquettishly, "Look, this is my treasure, I really don't want to see a seedling with good qualifications Buried in the human world."

After saying this meaningful sentence, the mysterious person immediately dissipated like smoke, and the part of the corridor that could not be seen clearly can now be seen clearly. The place is empty, as if no one has ever existed.

The book that was thrown on the ground by the mysterious man was a wrinkled book, which looked as old as the clothes the mysterious man wore when he was pretending to be a showgirl. Most of the pages of the book had signs of decay, and even showed a rusty dark red color. As if soaked in blood.

Tracy picked up the book and flipped through a few pages. The book didn't have a name or table of contents. Fortunately, the text written in it was Fergar's common language, so it was not difficult to read.

Tracy briefly read a few lines, then closed the book in shock and put it away, for fear of taking another look.

But after a while of calming down, Tracy picked up the book again.

She has to do something.For Ronoye, for Amphelos, she had to do something.But she can't do anything without ability, so she needs strength.

No matter what kind of power that is.

The author has something to say: I forgot when I wrote it, so I changed the previous bug, Priscilla is a wind and fire, and there is no water system【】

It's embarrassing to eat something set_(:зゝ∠)_
