I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 471

"You mean, the residual power of Su Fan's sword strike still lingers in that area?"

After hearing Ron's story, Emilia's eyes widened, and then she gave a bitter and numb smile.

"I thought I knew enough about his power."

"But you don't actually know enough."

Ron was already wearing a white lab coat, a researcher's coat, and was writing in his notebook as he spoke.

“In areas covered by sword energy, weak evil spirits that approach will be instantly vaporized. Stronger ones might be able to survive by chance, but they will inevitably suffer a great loss of strength.”

She recalled the scene she had witnessed when she passed by earlier.

"Many people who can see but cannot deal with those ghostly things now regard that area as a natural safe zone."

"Don't use any common sense to speculate about anything related to him. It's not surprising that anything beyond imagination could happen to Su Fan."

……

Listening to Jamie's explanation over the phone, Benjamin felt completely bewildered.

He knows and can write every single word the former says, but he can't understand how they are put together.

Even without understanding the underlying principles, Benjamin was still deeply impressed.

"So, does that mean we can do this in any special circumstances from now on...?"

"No. As I just said, this is just the residual power. Since it is a remnant of power, it will eventually dissipate. It's just that it's not long since that incident, so it can protect humanity for now."

"But it is precisely because of this that Gary has a glimmer of hope."

Benjamin let out a long sigh.

"I just received a message from Gary. He's out of danger now and has only suffered some minor injuries."

"But I hesitated. Don't laugh at me, but what I just experienced made me truly understand what it feels like to dance with death."

Tracking down those guys is too dangerous... Can't we have some means of self-defense? Like a talisman or something.

"Of course there are, but such rare items are usually not available to small fry like us."

"..."

Benjamin felt heavy-hearted and didn't know what to say, but then he heard Jamie on the other end of the phone change the subject.

"But I happen to have some here. Come and get it now."

"Didn't you just say it wasn't our turn..."

Benjamin was so excited that he was almost incoherent.

"Don't forget who I know. I was one of his original investors who witnessed his rise to the top. Hurry up, it's getting late."

After hanging up the phone, Jamie let out a long sigh.

Before bidding farewell to Su Fan and embarking on his journey, he received a considerable number of talismans from the former, but these talismans had already been almost entirely used up during his previous investigations.

The remaining quantity is simply insufficient to support two people.

But Benjamin agreed to help out of friendship, and Jamie felt obligated to prioritize the other's safety, both as the client and as a friend.

At worst, I'll just be more careful in the future...

With that thought, Jamie opened his jacket and reached into the inside pocket to touch the talisman.

These amulets, imbued with magical power, have saved me from the clutches of evil beings many times.

If you want to replenish it, you'll have to go back to Su Fan to buy it.

But is Su Fan really still willing to do this kind of small business now?

Or, to put it another way, is the other person really willing to maintain a friendship with someone who is no longer on the same level as them?

Jamie wasn't quite sure. ...

"Are you two planning to die near my villa to cause a political uproar and destroy Mayfair's political resources in Britain?"

Su Fan sat on the sofa and teased the two rather disheveled young men in front of him.

The one lying on the ground now is a member of the British royal family, a true member of the royal family and a descendant of Prince Charles.

However, the former remained casual in his tone, showing no sign of politeness whatsoever.

Normally, being pressured to place an order like that would make either Harry or William unhappy, but neither of them was in the mood for that at the moment; their minds were filled with what had happened thirty seconds earlier.

The car on the road was blocked by evil spirits, and neither the driver nor the two people inside dared to make any rash moves.

William, trying to remain calm and reassure his younger brother, had no idea how to deal with the situation. He only regretted not contacting the superhuman team that had been responsible for his protection.

While they were talking, an icy touch was already pressed against the backs of his and Harry's hands.

The eerie female corpse, which had been standing about twenty meters in front of the car, suddenly entered the vehicle and is now sitting between Harry and William, grabbing their hands.

The cold, stiff touch, along with the extreme fear, rendered the two of them unable to move, like wooden sculptures.

The cramped space was already filled with a strong aura of death.

But the next second, the two of them collapsed onto the rather nice wool carpet.

The scene changed so quickly, and the contrast between before and after was so stark, that William and Harry were completely dumbfounded.

"You're lucky."

A voice came from above.

William looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pretty woman with short hair standing nonchalantly on the ceiling.

"The driver stepped on the gas, which brought you right to the vicinity of the villa. Otherwise, you would have been drained of your life force by that thing and turned into two dried corpses by now."

The woman speaking was Alice.

She was also the one responsible for bringing the two of them back.

Although they benefited from Su Fan's help and escaped the evil influence, their vehicle went out of control and crashed into the wall of the villa estate.

"Where's the driver?"

Harry suddenly spoke up and asked this question.

"The situation is not as good as yours. He was extremely frightened and had pre-existing cardiovascular disease. We have already sent someone to the hospital for emergency treatment."

Alice answered in this way.

Harry lowered his head, looking quite pained, after receiving the answer.

On the other side, William sighed, got up, and straightened his clothes.

While the driver's condition was certainly worrying, he did not forget the true purpose of their trip.

If the most crucial link is messed up, the suffering endured by the drivers and themselves will be meaningless.

"Thank you so much for saving me."

“We absolutely had no intention of being enemies with you or the Mayfair family. What just happened was completely accidental.”

"This visit is to apologize for Harry's inappropriate remarks earlier."

"In principle, an appointment should be made in advance before visiting. However, Mr. Su, you are busy with your affairs and do not know when you will leave Britain. In this emergency, I had no choice but to come uninvited."

As William spoke, he pulled his younger brother Harry up from the ground.

"I sincerely apologize to you for the foolish thing Harry did because it was a matter of discipline."
