Chapter 554 Xi Ke
Byron Kingdom, Enlightenment Port.
Night time.
On the main commercial street on the seaside, there is a cheap bar with a wide area. It is brightly lit and bustling with people, and it is almost full.
The ancient-decorated hall is filled with middle- and lower-class civilians, wearing heavy, dark fur coats and felt hats. They take advantage of their free time in the cold winter to drink, entertain, and pass the time.
There was a man sitting alone in a corner seat.
He was wearing a thin dark green blouse and a gray top hat with a cocked brim on his head. His long, messy Chu brown hair fell down, matching particularly well with the stubble on his chin.
But for some reason, no one seemed to notice him.
Even drinkers who are in a hurry and walking slowly will naturally avoid this table, just like the instinctive reaction of the body.
"The master of disasters throughout the ages, the great but introverted emerald bird born from the original green light, please listen to the prayers of your believers and send down your blessings..."
The man murmured pious words.
A retro lantern standing on the table in front of him was quietly emitting a dark green light like emerald.
A drunkard who had just walked out of the tavern door was hit by a passing carriage with a bang. The skidding wheels ran over him. He could not even make a scream, leaving a patch of snow on the snow. Shockingly eye-catching blood stains.
"Jing Yao! Someone was hit by a carriage!"
"Oh, poor Sadie!"
"Go out and take a look, don't let that guy die in front of my tavern!"
The tavern suddenly became noisy.
There were horrified shouts outside the door, accompanied by the frightened neighing of the horses, followed by a clanging sound... It seemed that the carriage had rolled over and had a secondary accident.
Several waitresses screamed in panic, and were interrupted by the shouts of rough men.
The man in the corner was not affected at all. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, picked up a glass of strong wine on the table and drank it down, letting out a breath of white air.
When the green light of the lantern gradually dissipated, a simple ring was left on the table. It was inlaid with a seemingly cheap square emerald in the middle and engraved with a diagonal cross pattern.
"When the hope of the Mitchell family is forced to awaken their ancestor - the earth angel 'Xike' who only left a few words in the long history, but has a pivotal position... the ceremony will give me huge feedback, It will definitely help me advance to Sequence Three.”
The man grabbed the ring on the table, stood up with the lantern, and strode out of the tavern.
He glanced at the chaotic scenes around him with cold eyes, and went straight to the dock not far away, looking at the quiet and dark sea under the night sky.
"I, Sigmund, will start from this perfect script and ascend to the eternal throne step by step."

Sea of mist, desert island.
Raphael by the campfire looked shocked. He looked at the strong man with the silver pot head next to him and was speechless for a long time.
Finally, he said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"What should I do? Your Majesty Fulun..."
"Just lie down and take a nap and you'll be fine."
Fulan laughed.
"I will enter your dream and meet your ancestors in person... It is said that at the beginning, His Majesty Sid Mitchell also took away a snake belonging to His Majesty Jack Spate, saying that the cemetery was too deserted. I hope I can have more life as a companion.”
"?!"
Raphael's eyes were shocked.
It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that the little white snake he saw in his dream came from Jack Spate!
His ancestor actually met the white-scaled dragon?
But haven’t our ancestors been sleeping...
Thinking of this, Raphael couldn't help but lower his head slightly and forced himself to put back his distracting thoughts. He knew that what he should do now was to obey Fulun Mian's words and fall asleep as soon as possible.
This is a rare opportunity. Maybe from now on, I will no longer have to worry about nightmares and losing control...
"Okay, Your Majesty, I understand."
Raphael glanced at everyone. His friend Feliciano cast an encouraging look at him. Even Polaris Lucy and others were smiling.
He nodded to everyone, then took a deep breath and slowly lay down on the cold ground.
The warmth of the bonfire poured over him, making Raphael, who was already exhausted physically and mentally, feel a sense of comfort, and fell asleep quietly in just a few breaths.
In the dream, he came to the cemetery again.
A circle of iron fences in the style of ancient Byron surrounded the entire cemetery in a square shape. Looking through the gaps in the fence, one can see the stone tombstones leaning crookedly.
Raphael stepped onto the stone steps, opened the door, and was about to go in.
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed a hand on his shoulder. Turning his head to look, he saw a shirtless strong man with a silver pot head standing beside him at some point.
"Your Majesty Fulun..."
"Just wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."
A cheerful voice came from the silver pot.
Fulun said, carrying the cross sword and walked in.
Raphael watched from the door, until the strong man's back gradually disappeared into the hazy vision, he slowly let out a breath.
At the same time, hope arose in my heart.
Fulun strode along the stone path of the cemetery. On both sides of his vision, there were nameless tombstones and graves. Directly in front of him, a huge coffin lay horizontally with a small white snake coiled on it.
When Fulun got closer to the coffin, the little white snake naturally came closer and clung to his arm. The close connection of flesh and blood comes from it, but most of the information is missing.
‘Sure enough, it is the angel who lives in seclusion in the land of Saint Aegis…Xike Sid Mitchell. ’
he thought.
At this time, an out-of-tune humming sounded. Fulun was stunned for a moment, then stepped over the coffin and walked deeper into the cemetery.
Soon, after passing through two huge stone monuments that obscured his vision, he saw in a spacious open space a young man wearing an earth-yellow cloak, dancing gracefully with his arms around a skeleton in evening dress.
On either side stood two skeleton bands, gaily dressed, playing harps or shaking strange tinkling instruments.
The scene looked indescribably weird.
With Fulun's arrival, the humming and playing stopped abruptly.
The young man stopped dancing and turned his head with a smile.
He has long brown hair that is very similar to Raphael, but the length reaches his waist. The ends of his hair are curled up, and his overall makeup looks extremely retro.
"Welcome, guests from afar."
The young man spoke with enthusiasm and pushed the "dance partner" in his arms away.
As if alive, the skeleton took two steps back, raised its skirt and saluted, walked away with the band next to it, and then jumped into their respective graves and disappeared.
"This should be considered the second time we meet, Jack."
The young man came slowly and said with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, Your Majesty Sid, the last time we were in the land of Saint E...but strictly speaking, we have never met."
Fulun... Now Chen Lun's consciousness took over. He bowed and spoke respectfully.
Sid walked up to Chen Lun. Because he was a little short, he had to look up at him, with an even bigger smile on his face.
"Your little snakes are cute and energetic. I like them very much... Just leave two more here to accompany me this time."
Chen Lun was startled at first, secretly wondering if this angel had any unique hobbies.
Immediately, he had no choice but to lower his head and agree.
"As you wish."
As he spoke, Chen Lun raised his hand, and dozens of white snakes emerged from his palm, crawled down around his arm, and landed on the open ground.
Sid squatted down and let the white snake crawl onto him, then stood up again and waved to Chen Lun.
"Okay Jack, you can go."
"Huh?"
Chen Lun froze on the spot, watching Sid turn and walk away.
He suddenly felt that the temperament of the angel in front of him was really elusive, and it was quite difficult to communicate with him.
"Your Majesty Sid, among the descendants of your family, the young man named Raphael has inherited a trace of your mythical bloodline... This is also the reason why I can come here to see you through his dream."< br>
Chen Lun spoke in a deep voice.
Sid kept walking and said without looking back:
"I know...but I no longer care about the rise and fall of the Mitchell family and the life and death of their descendants. They should obey the changes of the times and follow the destiny, instead of attributing the reason for their decline to the so-called 'sleep of their ancestors'" .”
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
He understood one thing from the other party's indifferent words, that is, the Mitchell family seemed to have misunderstood something...
In fact, His Majesty Sid is not sleeping at all, he is just living in seclusion in the land of Saint Ai and does not want to deal with these descendants.
It's just Raphael's elders acting on their own initiative.
The so-called "awakening the ancestors" to revive the Mitchell family is just their wishful thinking...
Raphael's situation was even worse.
Although he was lucky enough to inherit a trace of the mythical bloodline from Crown Crown Sid, the price of the gift of fate had already been secretly marked. It was precisely because of the mysterious connection of bloodline that Raphael dreamed of this cemetery every night, and if he was not careful, It will be eroded by the pollution unintentionally emitted by the ancestors.
If Raphael does not advance to a high position, sooner or later he will lose control and die.
Seeing that Sid was about to leave, Chen Lun felt a little unwilling.
He originally planned to come over to get in touch with this earth angel and see how things were going... If he was easy to get along with, he would try his best to gain a good impression. If he was not easy to get along with, it didn't matter. Anyway, "Fulun" was just an incarnation. If it was destroyed, it would be destroyed. No more than losing thousands of sanity points.
Wait for a few days to cool down before creating it again.
But now it is basically certain that although Xi Ke's attitude towards him is not very good, he is not disgusted either, and is neutral.
This told Chen Lun in disguise that this was an excellent "ally" candidate... His ultimate goal in the future was to kill the Seven Gods, so the more high-ranking allies he had, the higher the success rate and the safer it would be!
Thinking of this, Chen Lun had an idea and said quickly:
"Your Majesty Sid, someone is plotting against you behind the scenes."
This time, Sid Mitchell finally stopped.
However, the other party turned around, just squinted his eyes and smiled:
"It doesn't matter."
"..."
Chen Lun suddenly became speechless.
He originally thought that the other party would be angry because of this, so he took advantage of the situation and offered to help deal with that guy, thereby gaining the favor of Xi Ke.
But I didn't expect this angel to be so indifferent.
"Just a [clown] who can't even see things clearly. He wants to use my 'awakening' as the key to the ritual to get feedback and promotion..."
Sid clasped his hands behind his back, shook his head and smiled.
The tone when He said "Joker" seemed to not only mean the serial name, but also a pun.
"Because of a wrong intelligence, a crappy script was planned. This is a ceremony that is destined to fail. Let it go." (End of Chapter)
