"I'm Slade, Slade Wats."

There was no expression on his face, but the "Secret Master" who occasionally twitched responded like a machine.

Xifa continued to ask: "Slade, what are you doing here?"

"Treasure Map."

"Speak more specifically."

Slade frowned, as if he was resistant, but said: "I am tracking a treasure map related to the Antigonus family. I suspect that the treasure map pointed to Antigonus."

Somewhere in the family’s ruins.”

"So I came to Sunia Island and came to the town of Gran."

This... This is really heavyweight news. This guy named Slade is tracking the treasure map related to the Antigonus family. The treasure map in Cyril's hand actually has the mysterious family.

relation?

The old fox of Osvet told me nothing, because he was worried that I knew the treasure map was related to the Antigonus family, so he had a strange intention? What a cautious old guy...

Tracking items related to the Antigonus family, and being the "Secret Master". Is Slade a member of the Secretariat?

Thinking of this, Xifa asked directly: "What is your relationship with the Secret Practice?"

Slade responded two seconds later, "I am one of the Secretariat."

really...

Xifa continued to ask, "Have you obtained the treasure map?"

Slade did not refuse this question, and immediately replied: "No."

"Did you kill Cyril? Why did you change to his appearance in his villa?"

Slade struggled for a while before answering: "I did not kill Cyril. I hired the gangsters in the town to cover up. The 'White Bear Party' in Gran Town often goes to Cyril on the grounds of maintaining the safety of the plantation.

Such spice merchants charge fees.”

"Today I asked the 'White Bear Party' to charge Cyril for the same reason, but when I arrived, his servant told me that Cyril was not in the manor."

"I divined that today someone would come to visit Cyril, and it was related to the treasure map, so I dealt with the servants in the manor and stayed in the villa as Cyril."

Hearing this, Xifa breathed a little relieved. It seemed that the people from the Antiquities Protection Association were quite clever, and Cyril had not yet fallen into Slade's hands.

He asked again, "Have you ever divined Cyril's position?"

Slade quickly responded: "Divine was done, but I can't see the revelation clearly. Cyril must have anti-divination items in his hands, or someone covers and interferes with the divination pointing to him."

Well, this is not surprising. There are a bunch of magical items in the Antiquities Association, and that treasure map is very important, so Cyril cannot take it lightly.

At this time, Western France found that Slade's figure began to overlap, and there were rumbling low sounds around, as if this space was about to collapse.

It seems that Slade's resistance is intensifying and he may wake up at any time. After all, this is the "Secret Master" of Sequence 5, and he is an extraordinary person in the diviner's way. Even if he is forced to fall asleep, he is afraid of being in a dream.

He can also find the right way to get out of his dreams.

Xifa hurriedly raised another question: "Do you know where to find a mermaid?"

Since Slade has become the "Secret Master", he must have taken potions in the mermaid's singing, so Westerners asked this question.

Slade gritted his teeth gently, thinking but not saying it. After a while, he said: "The depths of the sea of ​​ruins..."

He suddenly looked at Xifa, his eyes full of doubt, as if he was curious about why Xifa was here.

Xifa immediately ended his psychic communication.

After a trance, Xifa looked around and found that he had already "awakened".

He suddenly looked at Slade on the ground and saw his eyelids twitching, as if he was about to wake up immediately. Xifa immediately reached out to catch him, and the redness surged, and a spear tip quickly condensed in his hand.

Spear.

Xifa no longer hesitated and suddenly stabbed him with a shot. At this moment, Slade opened his eyes, but his eyes were still confused.

He found a way to escape in his dream, but unfortunately it was too late. The hot spear ignited his clothes at once. The high-temperature spear tip easily pierced his heart, nailing the 'secret master' to it.

On the ground.

boom!

The flames spread rapidly and quickly contracted, gathering into a pillar of fire that rushed straight to the roof.

In the wooden house near the gate of the manor, members of the White Bear Party were talking loudly and drinking heavily, not knowing what was going on in the villa.

When the flames disappeared, Xifa controlled the flames and did not allow them to spread further. Then he opened the window and let the cold wind pour in and blow away the smoke. Only then did he see Slade's charred body.

On his body, a little illusion of light appeared, and after 10 minutes, an extraordinary characteristic like jelly was formed.

Xifa found an iron box in this miscellaneous house, and he put away the extraordinary characteristics of the "Master of Secrets". Then he released a flame. Under his intentional activation, the fire was particularly fierce, but in a blink of an eye

, ignited the entire villa.

The fire and smoke rising from the villa are clearly visible even in the town of Gran.

Not long after, a team of police officers arrived at the 'Champagne Manor', and they woke up the members of the White Bear Party who were drunk in the wooden house and forced them to assist in putting out the fire.

Just on the roof of an abandoned farmhouse not far from the manor, Xifa held the chimney with his hands and saw clearly what happened.

He set fires to attract the attention of the town police and to attract the attention of the personnel from the Fsak Empire. In this way, even if Slade had companions on Sunya Island, he would not dare to act rashly.

Moreover, the fire was also for Cyril to show. He believed that Cyril should still be on Sunia Island and would receive the news.

If Cyril was smart enough, he would have speculated that the fire was released by the 'duke', because the Secretariat had to act in secret and would never do such a compelling thing.

In that case, he wouldn't have to go to Cyril, just wait for the spice merchant to contact him.

At the same time, Xifa clearly felt that he had completely digested the potion. Just after he killed Slade, just after he lit the fire and burned the villa, he received feedback, and thoroughly, digested it.

Two bottles of 'arson' potions!

“It’s time to get promoted.”

When Xifa walked out of the farmhouse, he had already taken off his "Thousand Faces Traveler" mask and quietly returned to Gran Town with his original appearance.

He found an inconspicuous hotel in the town, opened a room, and bought another big iron pot.

Then, he arranged a simple altar, summoned the "Spiritual Treasure Chest", and took out the extraordinary characteristics of the "Conspirator" and various auxiliary materials.

"Let's get started."

With some expectation, some excitement and some fear, Xifa first took out the "human lion blood" he got from the iceberg and poured them into the iron pot...
Chapter completed!
