Lord of Mysteries:Fire of Destruction

After a long while, Maric finally finished reading all the documents and made all his zombies sit down and continue playing cards as if nothing had happened.

Then he sat across from the redhead and stared at him.

"Where did you get this?"

"I killed a 'Cold Blood' and he had the documents with him"

"What made you think it was a good idea to hand this over to me?"

Adryan didn't mind this interrogation because he could understand the delicate situation of Sharron and Maric, that's why he thought of the best answer to Maric's question....

"A hunch"

At Adryan's words, Maric's eyebrow began to tremble strongly and he had to take a deep breath to calm down...

Adyan was never in a million years going to tell Maric that it was because he knew he was from the 'Temperance Faction' and that he would be in better hands if whatever those documents were with them.

That would only make Maric seriously attack him....

Adryan was only a small sequence 9 so how the hell could he know that Maric was from that faction, it was enough that he knew his name.....

"Describe the man you killed to obtain these documents"

"He was a middle-aged man with straight black hair, cold eyes, and an inhuman aura...."

Trying to get more details from his memory, Adryan managed to remember the knife that the man used...

"And he used this knife..."

Pulling a knife out of his bag, he placed it on the table.

It was a beautiful knife of medium length with a black handle with the symbol of the red moon carved on the blade....

This was the knife that Adryan took from the body...

Seeing the knife, Maric's pupils shrank slightly but he quickly recovered, showing no other reaction.

Seeing the knife, Maric thought for a while...

"He was always accompanied by a woman, what happened to her?"

"She managed to escape"

The question threw Adryan a little off balance but it seemed like Maric knew the man he killed.

"What did you do with the body?"

"I threw it in the Tussock River"

"...."

"....."

The redhead's words could only make Maric sigh again.

Maric lowered his head slightly as if thinking about the lake and Adryan would let him think he had time...

After a few moments, Maric looked up again and looked at the redhead who was playing with a card that he grabbed from the table...

When Maric turned to see him, Adryan put the letter back on the table and fixed his posture.

"This information that you brought me is very valuable to me so I am going to pay you 400 pounds for it."

"That seems fine to me"

The 'reward' seemed fair enough to Adryan, as if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't decipher the documents, he would ask for a much higher payment, but restraining his greed, he accepted the money.

Adryan never asked why Maric wasn't curious if he had the Beyonder characteristics of the man but he decided to mind his business.

Plus he could sell them to Isengar in his class tomorrow and accumulate points with the church....

At this idea, Adryan's eyes shone slightly at the strange look of Maric and his zombies.

Ignoring the strange attitude of the redhead, Maric snaps his fingers that made a zombie come towards him with a wad of bills in hand.

Taking the money from the hands of the zombie Maric, he handed it over to Adryan who happily began to count it in front of him...

This caused Maric's eyebrow to tremble again and he had to close his eyes to not look at the redhead....

After counting that all the money was there, Adryan put the money inside his jacket.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you Mr. Maric"

Bowing in front of Maric, Adryan left the room but not before patting the old man on the shoulder who was watching all the interaction between them with his mouth open...

...

....

.....

After the redhead left, Maric gave the old man a look. He understood and left the room and went to chat with his workers...

After that, the same blonde woman appeared at the window only this time she came out as if she were a ghost and sat in a chair near Maric.

Looking at Maric with those blue eyes the woman spoke.

"What were those documents Maric?"

Her voice was flat...

"They are all the places that the Rose School of Thought was searching for us, including those in charge of each search area...."

Maric was silent for a moment and then continued..

"Steve is in charge of the area we are currently in while Jason and Tire are in the middle of investigating their respective areas, the two of them should come to Backlund in 5 months..."

At Maric's words, the woman remains silent and close her eyes to think.

Opening her blue eyes, she turned completely to look at Maric.

"My intuition tells me that we have to stay here and wait for them...."

"But Sharron if they manage to find us we won't be able to fight them because of Scarlet Lunar Corona..."

"I know, Maric, but my intuition tells me that if we leave this place and keep running, we won't be able to survive, so we have to stay here."

At Sharron's words, Maric could only nod and returned to the table to continue playing cards.

While Sharron remained silent and still as if it were a doll.

'Adryan Kenway....'-was the thought of Sharron as she began to think about their next move.....

.....

.....

....

Adrian, as always, had just arrived at his house and after checking the traps he sat down and took out all his money so he could count it.

"220 pounds plus 400 pounds equals 620 pounds. This should be enough to buy the materials at Mr. A's party."

Sighing joy, Adryan saved all his money and saved his homework since tomorrow it was time to have classes with the Detective.....

Sighing again Adryan went to his room and slept since tomorrow would be a busy day.
