Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 63 What does it mean to have survived until now?

"etc."

Audrey finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Mr. 'Lover,' did you do what happened at the Capin Villa?!"

The girl stared intently at the embers, trying to discern something from the mist that obscured their expressions.

"Yes."

Yu Jin readily admitted it.

"But didn't you just say it was the Rose School who did it?"

"I never said that."

Ember, of course, refused to admit it and unhesitatingly shifted the blame, saying, "Your father said that this case was committed by a werewolf, and the werewolf is indeed a Sequence 7 of the Prisoner Path, and the Prisoner Path is indeed controlled by the Rose School."

"You..."

Audrey puffed out her cheeks and muttered to herself.

She could understand keeping something so important from her parents.

But why did you have to lie to her?

Klein's eyes, however, seemed a little strange.

Although it can be inferred from previous tarot readings that Miss Justice and Mr. Lovers know each other.

Judging from their conversation just now, their relationship might be closer than I imagined.

First and foremost, it is certain that Ember has already met his parents.

And he is currently at Miss Justice's house.

Klein's expression grew increasingly strange, but fortunately, the gray fog obscured his features.

Alger also had a strange expression, clearly having the same thought as Klein.

"On another note..."

To avoid the conversation going on indefinitely, Alger changed the subject, saying, "Mr. 'Lover,' how can you be so sure that Capin has connections to the royal family?"

After a pause, Alger added, "I can pay you for this kind of intelligence with other intelligence."

"unnecessary."

Yu Jin shook his head and said, "This information can also provide some evidence for your investigation, so no payment is needed."

After a pause, Ember continued, "The reason I confirmed that Capin was related to the royal family is because there were four extraordinary individuals of the 'Arbitrator' sequence protecting his home, including one Sequence 8, two Sequence 7, and even a Sequence 6 'Judge'."

"Sequence 6?"

Alger's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood why Ember would connect this card with the royal family.

With such obvious clues, even a fool could guess that Capin has connections with the royal family!

"besides."

Ember paused for a moment, then continued, "There was another extraordinary being, at least a Sequence 5, and I even suspect it was a Sequence 4 demigod, who came to Capin's house to try to destroy the evidence."

"Demigod?!"

Alger looked incredulous, and Klein was also shocked.

"How did a human trafficker end up involving a demigod?"

"No! It is precisely because a human trafficker has implicated a demigod that it further proves that his relationship with the royal family is unusual."

"Or rather, this human trafficker was of extraordinary importance to the royal family."

"However, since they only appeared afterward, it means it wasn't close protection. That's normal; a demigod wouldn't be so idle as to personally protect a human trafficker. But the fact that a demigod would intervene is enough to prove just how highly regarded Kapin is."

"But what does this have to do with the Black Emperor? And how was the Ember confirmed?"

Klein sorted out his thoughts and figured out the sequence of events, but at the same time, questions quickly arose in his mind.

"Mr. Lover."

Alger remained silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "May I ask what sequence you are currently in? Of course, you are free to refuse to answer this question."

"No, there's nothing I can't answer."

Ember casually remarked, "I am now a Sequence 8 'Master of Tricks'."

"Sequence 8?"

Alger gave him a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

A Sequence 8 can kill a Sequence 6? Are you kidding me!

But think about it carefully.

Yu Jin didn't seem to have any reason to lie to him, did he?

If that's the case, why would he tell such an obvious lie?

Or……

"Did he manage to turn the tables thanks to those magical items?"

Alger hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized that it wasn't impossible.

After all, he also happened to know a man who roamed the seas with incredible items.

Of all those present, perhaps only Klein was truly convinced that the Embers were Sequence 8.

Because in his view.

Yu Jin and he transmigrated at the same time, and it has only been less than two months since then.

It's normal that the other party has just been promoted to Sequence 8.

After all, he had only recently fully digested the Diviner's Potion and had only applied for the Clown Potion three days ago.

This was also thanks to Ember revealing the method of acting to Dunn and the others in advance, which made it very reasonable for him to digest the potion within a month.

Otherwise, he would probably still be struggling with how to prove to Dunn that he had fully digested the potion.

In contrast, Klein would find it unbelievable if the other party were to advance to Sequence 6 or even Sequence 5 in just one month.

As for the fact that the opponent was able to kill a Sequence 6 opponent, that's not surprising at all.

What's so special about an Undead being killing two Sequence 6s?

After all, the other party was desperately searching for the "Black Emperor" just to kill him and use him as firewood!

"I have one more question."

Alger hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How did you know that Capin had connections with the royal family?"

"He said it himself."

Ember glanced at Alger and said strangely, "And there's also evidence of his affair with the royal family in his home."

"No."

Alger composed himself and corrected, "I mean, how did you know before you acted?"

"I have no idea."

Ember said frankly, "Before I started, I only thought I was going to kill a human trafficker, but who would have thought that there were four Beyonders in his house, so I just killed them as well. As for the Beyonder I suspected was a Sequence 4, I didn't even meet him. I only know that he was bitten by the Rotten Hounds I left behind."

"The fact that he has survived until now makes it highly likely that he is a demigod."

"What do you mean by 'surviving until now'?"

Audrey muttered a complaint under her breath.

That's a demigod!

So what you're saying is that if the other party isn't a demigod, then he's already dead?

But this only happened last night!

"Just a bite, and even a Sequence 5 couldn't withstand it? What is this? Poison? Or a curse?"

Alger found it somewhat unbelievable, but he also felt that Ember had no reason to lie to him.

At the same time, it is also thought that if such a "pet" exists, then the fact that the opponent's Sequence 8 can kill Sequence 6 can be explained.

But he still had some doubts.

Why did Ember, an extraordinary being of the Church of the Night, choose the apprenticeship path?

Klein was also a little puzzled. Was there a way to keep pets in Dark Souls?

No, right?

"This isn't a Pokémon game. Are you suggesting I can summon defeated enemies to fight for me?"

Klein made a sarcastic remark, but his doubts only deepened.

but.

The royal family is really unlucky.

Yu Jin simply wanted to kill a human trafficker, but who would have thought it would uncover so many clues?

However, Klein then thought of another problem.

If Ember initially only knew that Kapin was a human trafficker and was unaware of his connection to the royal family, it was only by chance that he learned of Kapin's connection to the royal family.

What was the purpose of "He" who initially gave the Black Emperor the hint?

PS: In the original story, Konstantin had already digested the potion by this point, but because he couldn't explain the problem of the role-playing method, he delayed for half a month and during that time he kept hinting at the role-playing method to Dunn.

Only after doing all this would his application for the Joker's Potion not seem out of place.
