The old Patriarch Benson followed behind and whispered, "Yes, Master Abraham. If this matter were known by His Majesty the Emperor today, all of us would die miserably. What's more, even Master Augurola would not protect us in this matter."
Abraham narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Yes, as one of our tribesmen, she is the most powerful and the oldest, but she has always been against our traditions and hobbies, and sometimes even helps outsiders."
Patriarch Benson continued, "But it was she who resurrected the ancestors after all."
Abraham licked his lips, looked at the blood in the cup, and said softly: "Although it is true that she resurrected us, I don't know what her intention was."
The old patriarch of the Benson family's expression changed and he stopped talking.
"Sister Augurola has now returned to the realm of demigods, but we are all weak. After her resurrection, she has no intention of helping us regain our strength. What does this mean?"
Abraham sighed, "What a pity that the feather I asked you to find was not used."
The old Benson family owner continued, "Why did you ask me to find that feather?"
"Oh, because I foresee that when we collectively revive, there will be a battle. If Augurola's fighting power is insufficient, then she will definitely use that feather."
Abraham's eyes were cold, and he said, "If she uses it, then she will have to bear the corresponding sequelae. This way, I will have a way to check and control her, instead of letting her control me like now."
He paused and said, "What a pity. I didn't expect that she had such a powerful helper who could actually control the rules!"
The old master of the Benson family was furious. This was not something he should listen to.
"Speaking of which, the Frostian family was destroyed, right?"
Abraham raised his bright red eyes and glanced at the old man.
Patriarch Benson lowered his head and said in fear, "Yes, we joined forces with the Valerius family and the Candiel family to divide up all the inheritance of the Frostian family. According to your instructions, we only want the contaminated feather of the goddess of light."
Abraham nodded. "Remember to give it to me. I will keep it to deal with Sister Augurola. Even though she has not abandoned us, I always know that she is not the same as us."
The old patriarch Benson was silent for a long time, and then he mustered up the courage to say, "Master Abraham, there are actually still people alive in the Frostian family today, and they are the direct descendants."
Abraham's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Who is it?"
The old master of the Benson family whispered something in his ear.
Abraham's expression changed. He licked his lips and said hoarsely, "I understand. Next, we must kill the witnesses. This matter involves the things left by my father. It must not be leaked."
The old Patriarch Benson's expression changed slightly.
"Don't tell Sister Augurola, I'll handle this matter myself."
Abraham straightened his collar and said in a cold voice: "Send someone to inform the Seventh Prince of the Kingdom of Loen, and tell him that the Original Family has awakened and is willing to continue the contract of that year, and ask him to send someone to extradite us. We can't stay in the Brentanian Empire anymore, and the Original Family will have a new habitat."
The old Benson patriarch bowed and saluted to show that he understood.
However, no one noticed that a young man was following them and eavesdropping on the conversation.
A strange smile appeared on Moro's lips, then he turned and left quietly.

The sea breeze at the port is refreshing.
At the end of the black sea, a beam of light seemed to light up, illuminating the dark sky.
Augurola stood proudly on the shore, her cherry-like long hair and skirt fluttering in the wind, and whispered, "According to you, while he was using corpse-eating magic to support Bakar's vitality, he was also betting with Alessandro in the Tarot Room, and even won the bet?"
Golden light and shadow flickered, illuminated by a ray of sunlight.
The gravekeeper said calmly: "Yes..."
Augurola fell silent.
After a long while, a beautiful smile appeared on her lips: "You are worthy of being the man I like."
The gravekeeper continued, "He is in a very conflicted mood right now."
"I know… "
A smile flashed in Augurola's beautiful eyes, and she said, "He is entangled, which means he still cares about me. Otherwise, he would just go and get revenge. Why would he care about my feelings?"
"He has no idea."
The gravekeeper said calmly: "As long as you are alive, the other ancestors are immortal."
Augurola suddenly took out the communication mirror, looked at the words displayed on it, and sneered.
"Sure enough, after I resurrected this group of people, they immediately started to play tricks on me."
She licked her tempting red lips: "You messed with my man and you still want to run away?"
The gravekeeper remained silent.
"Then I will show you the secrets of the Original Family, Gaius."
Augurola glanced at him and said mockingly, "As you know, as long as the blood contract of the ancestral family is still there, as long as one person is alive, the others are immortal. But the ancestor of the upper position has the power of life and death over the ancestor of the lower position. Do you know why?"
The gravekeeper raised an eyebrow: "How should I know?"
"I can expel them from the family's bloodline contract at any time."
Augurola smiled and said, "In this way, they will be lonely ghosts without families, and I have a way to deprive them of most of their power."
Gravekeeper: "Oh, you plan to destroy them and let Licinius kill them himself?"
"Well, now I understand Viltiana's feelings a little bit."
Augurola said quietly, "I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've met such an outstanding little man. Anyone who makes him unhappy must die. Abraham and his bastards can be slaughtered by him for fun. Gaius, are you ready for the second phase of the plan?"
"The relationship between your ancestral family is so harmonious. It's really enviable."
The gravekeeper nodded slightly: "Before you leave, don't you say goodbye to him?"
"How is that possible? Even if I come back often, I still have to have the proper sense of ritual."
Augurola looked up at the sky and murmured in her heart: "Well, should I wear black stockings or fishnet stockings?"
Chapter 222 You Are My Man
The next day, the morning sun shone on the street.
Li Xini lowered his hat and walked silently through the streets. There was no trace of the battle at night on the streets, and the smell of blood had been washed away, as if nothing had happened.
Auntie Ellie, who sells bread and milk, has already left the stall with her eight-year-old son.
George, the owner of the blacksmith shop, was open for business as usual today, with the sound of hammering and nails being heard.
And there was Jack, the profiteer who sold inferior potions, picking his feet out of boredom in the shop.
More and more people walked on the long street. Workers from Cuxhaven went out with their tools, children with schoolbags on their backs were taken to school by their parents, polite gentlemen shuttled between businesses and shops, the doors of hotels were also open, and tavern owners and casino hooligans were smiling and greeting people on the street.
"These people should have all died. Uncle George was stabbed in the heart, Aunt Ellie and his son should have been burned to death. Jack died of poisoning, and the little girl who just passed by was even suffocated to death after being defiled." Li Xini murmured suicidally.
The Dark Eye predicted the soul states of these ordinary people.
The so-called divination process is actually to combine all existing clues, the cause and effect that each person is exposed to, the mystery that is involved and other factors, enter another dimension and observe the results.
At this moment, the answer Licinius got from his divination was that all these people were dead.
Including Grandpa Gray selling sweet potatoes and his little grandson in the distance.
If you look with your dark eyes at this moment, you will see a shocking blood mark on their necks.
They are all dead...
But the reality is that these people are standing there alive and not dead.
And the result of divination would not become like this for no reason.
The only explanation is that someone tampered with what was supposed to happen.
Forcefully changed the fate of this group of people!
Therefore, the results of divination deviate from reality.
"Don't make a fuss. This is a composite magic that I created myself. I named it the Destiny Magic. It's a rare conceptual variant magic. If you have a talent for magic, I will pass it on to you."
Someone said lightly.
Li Xini turned around and looked at the old man who was cutting steak in the restaurant.
"Grandpa Hodel?"
He was stunned for a moment.
Dean Hodel waved at him, motioning him to come over and talk, then complained, "The breakfast in this restaurant is really terrible. If I hadn't been waiting for you here, I might have gone to your house to ask Little Norn to cook for me. Bah, bah, bah, the beef is fried so old and tough, not even one ten-thousandth as good as Little Norn's."
"Ah, this..."
Licinius walked into the restaurant obediently and sat opposite him.
There was no one in the restaurant at this time, and even the boss and employees didn't know where they had gone.
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Why are you waiting for me here?" Licinius asked curiously.
"Because you have enough doubts in your heart." Dean Hodel said lightly.
Li Xini was silent. His thoughts were exposed by the old man. He nodded and said, "Yes, I do have many doubts. Grandpa Hodel, is this world really like this?"
He looked at the people passing by outside the restaurant.
If it weren't for the old man's help, they might all have died last night.
They didn't do anything bad.
Just live diligently, hard, and for my family.
"The world of warlocks is so cruel. I have warned you long ago. In the future, there will be more such things happening, because strong individual power will always bring people endless greed. Therefore, the first motto of Trinity College is to learn to restrain your desires."
Dean Hodel sighed and said, "It's just that most people understand it as the realm of magic. When you advance, you must remain rational and not be devoured by the power of magic."
Licinius was silent for a moment: "I understand..."
"I know you're not the kind of hypocritical person. Since you don't like this kind of world, just go and change it. This is what we have been doing."
Dean Hodel said, "I had not thought of asking you to participate in what happened last night, but you are the kind of person who can't sit still and can't just sit there and watch. So Gaius and I regard you as the most critical part of our plan. Facts have proved that you can always bring us new surprises."
Li Xini curled his lips: "Then why are you hiding everything from me?"
Dean Hodel blew his beard and glared: "What do you think I am doing sitting here? If you want to listen, then listen. If you don't want to listen, I will go find little Norn and ask her to cook for me."
Licinius said sternly: "Please go ahead..."
Dean Hodel rolled his eyes, tapped the table, and said, "This matter actually started the day I woke up. Well, after the Scarlet Night incident, I was in a coma for about ten years. At that time, we had many companions with us, and they protected me in the coma."
"However, during those more than ten years, our comrades-in-arms gradually died. Some died of old age, some went missing, some died in forbidden areas, and some died in wars."
He laughed and said, "Guess where I was when I woke up?"
Licinius shook his head.
"Sequence 11 forbidden place, Succubus Forest."
Dean Hodel coughed dryly and said, "Well, it was the succubus you understood. I met some powerful Inhumans there, and my old friend put me there and asked them to take care of me. Then when I woke up, my last old friend was also missing."
Licinius always felt that there was something fishy going on here, but he had no evidence.
"When I woke up, I began to investigate the truth of the Scarlet Night."
Dean Hodel said dimly, "My old comrades all died in strange ways. It's as if an invisible force is targeting us. Even His Majesty... Oh, the last generation's His Majesty, fell into a long sleep after the Scarlet Night incident, and is no different from a dead person."
"At the same time, the national strength of the Brentanian Empire has become increasingly weak, with internal and external troubles continuing."
He said: "After I returned to the capital, I learned that during the time I was unconscious, a huge change happened to the Ancestral Family. The first ancestor of the Ancestral Family disappeared."
Licinius asked seriously, "The First Ancestor is Augurola's father?"
"Yes, the First Ancestor and the previous emperor were close friends, and he was the only person besides Gaius and me who witnessed the events of the Crimson Night alive."
Dean Hodel said: "My majesty is in a coma, so I can only go to find the First Ancestor. Unfortunately, according to Augurola, the First Ancestor went crazy before he disappeared."
Licinius raised an eyebrow and asked, "Crazy?"
"Well, he wanted to kill all the ancestors except himself and ascend to the god level. However, he didn't expect that Augurola had already been promoted to demigod by then and led his people to rise up in rebellion."
Dean Hodel replied: "Only the Third Ancestor stood by the First Ancestor, and the Ancestor family had an internal fight. It was at that time that the Crescent Moon Cult took advantage of the situation and severely damaged Augurola, knocking her down from the rank of demigod.
The First Ancestor disappeared in the melee, abandoning everyone, including the Third Ancestor Adam who was standing beside him at the time.
"And if you want to find the first ancestor, you must meet two conditions."
