Lord of the Secret Art!

  Chapter 41 Searching for Ariel Soto

   At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark.

  Workers returned to their homes after a tiring day.

   And the rich or nobles returned home early. It is winter now, and the weather is too cold after nightfall.

  The cold wind blew through the street like a knife, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the street.

   However, a carriage appeared outside the house where Ariel Soto stored the body.

  The carriage is pulled by two white horses, and the door of the carriage is open.

   Looking inside from the door of the carriage, you can see four people: Fei Lin, Lindy, Julie, and Ivy.

"let's start!"

  Lindy looked at Fei Lin, who was holding yesterday's bell.

"Yes."

   Fei Lin responded, turned the bell of yesterday over and put it on his lap.

  Behind the clock of yesterday, three knobs can be seen.

   One of the knobs is significantly larger than the other two knobs, and has a butterfly shape that is easy to grip with two fingers.

   This is the clockwork knob, with an elastic structure attached to it. It is this kind of clockwork that allows the clock to run without an electric drive.

   Of course, today's clock of yesterday is already a cursed thing, containing extraordinary power, even if the clockwork is not turned, it will keep going.

  The remaining two knobs, which are slightly smaller than the clockwork knob, are located side by side below the clockwork knob.

   are the hour and minute hands of yesterday's clock.

   "It's 8pm, about 99 hours before I see Ariel Soto here."

   After making an estimate in his heart, Fehling turned the **** on the left counterclockwise, and immediately saw the clock of yesterday's clock start to rotate counterclockwise.

   As the clock of yesterday’s clock rotates in the reverse direction, strange changes appear.

   The sky outside suddenly brightened, and it suddenly dawned.

   But that's impossible, it's 8pm and it's at least 10 hours before dawn.

   Looking carefully, this brightened area is clearly centered on the carriage where Fehling and the others were, and a dozen meters around it.

   It wasn't that it was dawn, but the sky within a dozen meters around Fehling and the others became brighter.

   If you look carefully, you can even see some weird pictures.

  The bird that flew through the sky actually flew backwards.

   A stray cat that occasionally passed by was actually walking backwards.

   This is because Fehling activated the Clock of Yesterday, the time goes back, and the surrounding images are going backwards.

   one circle.

  Two circles.

  …

   Seven circles.

  Eight circles.

  The hour hand has rotated eight times, and the surrounding images have returned to 4 days ago.

  Felling's turning of the hour hand stopped and turned to the right minute hand, because it was almost time for him to see Ariel Soto.

Sudden.

  A carriage came from the street opposite them, and the driver of the carriage was a man in black clothes, about 30 or 40 years old, with dark skin.

   Fehling recognized this man, who was the one he saw that day, who was carrying the corpse with Ariel.

  Then it is self-evident that this carriage is the carriage that Fehling once smelled of corpse.

   Seeing the carriage, Fehling immediately stopped spinning the minute hand.

   And the three of Lindy also understood that this carriage was probably the carriage that Ariel Soto rode in, and they all looked at this carriage sharply.

The    carriage collided with Fei Lin’s carriage, but there was no sound of the collision, but passed through and stopped outside the house.

   After all, it is just an image of the past, and naturally has no substance.

   From inside the carriage, Ariel Soto with a blindfold on his left eye appeared.

   jumped out of the carriage, came to the door, opened the door with the key, and pushed the door open.

   The man in black was driving a carriage and entered the courtyard.

   "Felling, follow them."

  Lindy's voice said eagerly.

   The range that the Bell of Yesterday can affect is only more than ten meters. If it exceeds this range, Ariel Soto will not be able to be seen.

"I know."

  Felin quickly jumped off the carriage and followed Ariel Soto into the yard.

  Lindy, Julie, and Ivy followed behind him and entered the courtyard as well.

   "Not only is he extremely talented in the mysterious spear, but he also has the talent to learn the second secret technique!"

   Walking at the end of the three, Ivy looked at Fei Lin's back with surprise.

  Because she was a member of the same group as Fei Lin, she was allowed to participate in this operation, and thus also learned that Fei Lin had learned the eye of esoteric identification.

   Fei Lin upgraded the mysterious spear to the second ring in just a month. She was already surprised, but she didn't want to be even more surprised. Fei Lin actually had the talent to practice the second secret technique.

   Possessing two kinds of secret arts talents is a necessary condition for the realm above the 12th ring. Does it mean that Fei Lin has the possibility to reach the realm above the 12th ring?

   Her own groupmate actually had such a talent, which really shocked her.

   Entered the courtyard and "locked" the courtyard door. Ariel Soto and the man in black began to carry the corpse from the carriage to the basement where there was a huge blood hexagram.

   During the process of carrying the corpse, Ariel Soto and the man in black were talking to each other.

   However, although I can see images, I can't hear the sound, so I can't hear what they say.

   "Julie, what did they say?"

   Lindy was already prepared for this, she looked at Julie and asked.

   Because of her ability to remember, Julie has a strong learning ability and has learned a lot of techniques, including lip language.

  Although these techniques cannot reach the master level because they do not have the corresponding master-level talent, so they can be turned into secret arts, but it is enough for daily use.

   "Ariel Soto said that these corpses are very important... They were asked by Mrs. Minavar, and they should be handled with care, and there should be no damage in the slightest."

  Julie looked at the opening and closing mouths of the two, and tried to read the words of the two through her lips.

   "Master Minaval? In other words, there are indeed higher-level cultists above Ariel Soto..."

  Lindy's eyes flashed with thought.

   According to the investigation of Ariel Soto, she had long suspected that Ariel Soto was just a clerk in the gnawing teeth, not the highest-ranking gnawing teeth member in Constant City, but now it has been confirmed.

   Above Ariel Soto, there is at least one cultist with a higher level, and the name of this cultist is Minaval.

   There is no doubt that they have received very important information.

   Following Ariel Soto's image, he went back and forth in the basement several times, but he never got any useful information.

  The body has been transported, and the images of Ariel Soto and the two have already driven the carriage to leave.

  The four of Fehling quickly got on the carriage and followed the carriage where Ariel and the two were.

   "Let the wagons coincide with their wagons."

  Lindy instructed the coachman, whom he could trust as a veteran, to speed up a little so that the carriage they were in overlapped with the carriage that Ariel Soto and the two were in.

   With this, they were able to see Ariel Soto in the carriage again.

  In the carriage, Ariel Soto sat alone on the seat. Because he was the only one in the carriage, he did not speak, but just sat quietly.

   Even so, the four of Fehling still kept their eyes on the image of Ariel Soto, fearing that they would miss some important information.

   After about ten minutes.

  Suddenly, the expression of Ariel Soto in the carriage changed suddenly, as if he had heard some bad news.

   "The time is close to when I sneaked in and encountered the eyeless monster. It should be that he found the eyeless monster and killed it by me."

   Flynn explained to the three of Lindy.

  Lindy nodded and understood the reason, and continued to stare at Ariel Soto.

   Ariel Soto, whose face changed suddenly, seemed to be struggling with what to do.

   After a moment of entanglement, Ariel Soto opened the curtain and spoke to the man in black.

"What did you say?"

  Lindy asked hastily.

   "He told the man in black to change his direction, he didn't return to his residence, he was going to divert to..."

   Julie replied.

   After saying this, Ariel Soto returned to the carriage and sat in the carriage with a vague look of anxiety on his face.

   More than ten minutes later, the carriage carrying Ariel Soto stopped in an abandoned street.

  Ariel Soto lifted the curtain and said something to the man in black, who bent over and entered the carriage.

  Puff!

  As soon as the black-clothed man entered the carriage, Ariel Soto covered the black-clothed man's mouth with one hand and stabbed the black-clothed man in the chest with a dagger.

   Blood splattered.

   Although I couldn’t hear the sound, I could imagine the sound of blood being pierced through my heart.

   The man in black struggled a few times, became weak and fell down, and there was no movement.

  Ariel Soto put down the corpse of the black-clothed man, wiped the dagger and the blood on his hands from the black-clothed man's corpse, said a word, and walked out of the carriage.

   "Don't blame me, I can only blame you and me for having bad luck and being exposed."

  Julie quickly translated what Ariel Soto said through her lips.

  Feling got off the carriage and chased after the image of Ariel Soto.

  I saw Ariel Soto who walked out of the carriage, quickly left this abandoned street, lowered his head to avoid pedestrians on the street, came to an old street, and entered a suite in a low-rent apartment.

  This should be one of his hidden residences. The previous search did not find it.

   "The door is locked, the other party should no longer be here!"

  The four of Fehling couldn't help but feel refreshed, thinking that they had found the place where Ariel Soto was hiding.

   But soon they found out that there was no joy in the room, the door was locked, and it was from the outside, and there was no one inside.

   "Ivy, destroy the lock!"

  Lindy instructed Ivy, Ivy nodded slightly, and the cross gem on the ring on her right hand lit up with golden light.

   Along with the dazzling golden light, a golden cross lightsaber appeared.

  Crack!

   With a crisp sound, the iron lock was cut off and fell to the ground.

   The four entered the room. In the room, the image of Ariel Soto was walking back and forth, looking very anxious.

   The four searched the room for clues related to the gnawing teeth.

   However, apart from some clothes and simple daily necessities in the room, there is no clue about the gnawing tooth.

   Ariel Soto walked back and forth anxiously for half an hour, it was already dark outside.

  Ariel Soto stopped walking back and forth, opened and closed his mouth, and said something to himself.

   "Julie, what did she say?"

  Lindy asked hurriedly, and her intuition told her that Ariel's words were extremely important.

   "He said that the only way to escape the search of the security bureau is to hide with the adults!"

   Julie answered quickly.

   "Does the lord in his mouth refer to Minaval mentioned earlier?"

   Ivy asked with a frown.

   "I can't be sure, he just said the adults, he didn't say who he was."

   Julie shook her head.

The image of   Ariel Soto disguised himself, put on the clothes of an ordinary citizen, put on a wide hat that could cover most of his face, and left the suite in the dark.

  Felling and the four quickly followed.

   Leaving the suite, Ariel was walking down a street that was almost invisible because of the night.

   Cross the streets one by one, and finally enter the streets where the surrounding houses are better decorated than other places.

   "This is entering the Eastern District. The person he wants to meet lives in the Eastern District!"

   Seeing better housing around compared to other streets, Flynn said.

   "East Side."

  Lindy's eyes flashed with cold light.

   Those who live in the Eastern District are either nobles and related persons, or rich and related persons, that is to say, the adult in Ariel Soto’s mouth is either noble, rich, or their related persons.

  …

   In a luxuriously furnished room with a huge citrine lamp falling from the top in the East District, there are two people.

   One of them was a rich man, the man who killed Ariel Soto.

  The other is a lady with a seductive figure in a long black dress.

   The long black dress has a V-neck, and you can see the snow-white skin on her chest, giving people infinite temptation.

   Holding a pure white cat in her hand, she is exactly the person Ariel Soto called "Mena Vale".

   The two of them sat on a sofa, each holding a glass of red wine in their hands.

   On the coffee table between the two, there is a bottle of red wine that has been opened.

   This is a bottle of high-end red wine from the famous Roussell winery with a history of 70 years.

  Minnaval elegantly brought the red wine glass to her red lips and took a sip, leaving a clear red lip mark on the edge of the red wine glass.

   The rich man looked at Minaval who was drinking in an elegant manner, and his throat was clearly swallowing saliva.

   He has seen many noble ladies, and has had in-depth exchanges with many noble ladies.

   However, there is no lady whose charm is comparable to that of Minavar in front of her.

   But Minaval is different from those noble ladies who will take the initiative to run to his bed after hooking. She is someone who is not inferior to him in the organization, not something he can get.

   Feeling the fiery gaze of the rich man, Minaval put the red wine glass on the coffee table, as if joking.

   "If the plan of this organization can be completed perfectly, it is not impossible to spend one night with you."

"This is real?"

   The man with a rich body was excited, and the heat in his eyes seemed to melt Minavar.

   "I never regret what I said, though."

   Minaval smiled and looked at the rich man.

   "I'm afraid you have no chance!"
