Chapter 282 You are special...
In the northern part of Backlund, at the Audra family's manor.
Emlyn strolled in good spirits under the crimson moonlight, walked through a marble-paved road lined with blooming red roses, and entered the luxurious three-story villa.
In the lobby on the first floor of the villa, a gentlemanly-looking man named Kasimi Audra nodded slightly to him, then raised his chin slightly and said, "Come with me, your grandfather is already waiting for you."
"it is good."
Emlyn didn't care about the arrogance in the other person's attitude. Ever since he was forced to volunteer at the Harvest Church, he had become the lowest of the vampire hierarchy in Backlund.
This haughtiness, expressed only in his expression, was far better than the rude vampires who openly mocked him to his face.
Following Kasimmi through an iron gate and down a winding staircase, Emlyn finally couldn't help but ask, "What business does Lord Nibais have with me this time?"
"I don't know, my grandfather just told me to inform you to come see him."
Kasimi continued walking, only shaking his head slightly.
Emlyn pursed his lips where the other person couldn't see.
...Tch, he always brags to us at parties about how much Lord Nibais appreciates him, but when there's a problem, he knows nothing. He's not even as good as the butler in the villa.
While Emlyn was grumbling to himself, the two had already reached the top of the stairs.
Kasimmi expressionlessly took a black iron key from his pocket. As the door creaked open, Emlyn immediately saw the black iron coffin placed in the center.
At Kasim's prompting, Emlin stepped into the spacious, empty basement, while Kasim, who had brought him there, remained outside the door and did not come in.
Before the iron-black coffin, which had a crack in it, Emlyn composed himself and bowed very seriously: "Good evening, Lord Nibais. I heard you had something to discuss with me."
Heavy, drawn-out breathing came from inside the coffin, as if the person had just awakened from a long sleep.
A few breaths later, the breathing stopped, and a deep, aged voice rang out: "Yes, the Ancestor has issued a divine decree."
"Another oracle?" Emlyn was taken aback.
The ancestral oracles are happening far too frequently! This year alone has seen more oracles than in the past ten or even several decades.
Nibais, seemingly oblivious to Emlyn's thoughts, continued in a low voice, "Recently, rumors have spread throughout Backlund about a being known as the Fool, and His name has also become widely known."
"I've heard of it."
Emlyn nodded. Although he spent most of his time volunteering at the Harvest Church, he was not out of the loop. In addition to the internal communication among the vampires, Father Utravsky would occasionally reveal some information to him.
He paused, then asked with some curiosity, "What does this have to do with the ancestral oracle?"
Nibais, in the coffin, answered earnestly like a patient elder: "The ancestor mentioned the end times in the oracle, and also the name of this fool," and also you.
""
"I?"
Emlyn paused for a moment, then pointed to himself with an incredulous expression.
Nibais said solemnly and affirmatively, "Yes, you, Emlyn White."
"My interpretation of the Progenitor's oracle is that the Progenitor wishes for you to represent the vampires in contacting the Fool," this is related to the future apocalypse, and how to save the vampires when the apocalypse arrives.
"Me? But..." Emlyn felt a little confused by the amount of information.
He instinctively doubted the veracity of Nibais's words, feeling both flustered and excited.
While Emlyn was still gathering his thoughts, Nibais continued, "Your previous encounter connected you with the Church of the Earth Mother, and the key figure mentioned in the oracle's last oracle is also closely related to you. This time, you have become one of the beings mentioned in the oracle's oracle."
"Emlyn White, you are special."
You are special...
Emlyn stood there, stunned, but Nibais's last words kept echoing in his mind.
After a long while, he came to his senses and nodded with some doubt: "Lord Nibais, what should I do?"
From within the coffin, Nibais's voice rang out: "Recite the name of the Fool."
Emlyn's expression froze for a moment, and the excitement that had just welled up in his heart vanished instantly.
After a moment of silence, he hesitated before saying, "But the rumors outside say that this Fool is an evil god."
Even newborn vampires are taught not to make contact with evil gods. If they directly recite the name of an evil god, their fate will not be much better than that of vampires who worship the "Primordial Moon".
As his thoughts drifted, he heard Nibais's aged yet gentle voice: "This is the oracle of the progenitor, and you, who recite the name of 'The Fool,' represent the will of the progenitor."
"Besides, haven't you always wanted to break free from the self-suggestion you're under? This might be an opportunity."
"And I'll be watching you from the side."
"You don't need to make a decision now. Just come find me after you've thought it through. Although this is the oracle's divine decree, we also respect the will and thoughts of every vampire member."
"I..." Emlyn hesitated, unsure how to answer.
Nibais chuckled softly from inside the coffin, gently reassuring, "There's no need to rush into a decision. Go back and think it over carefully. Once you've made up your mind, tell Kasimi what you think, and he'll bring you to see me."
After a moment of silence, Emlyn nodded emphatically: "Okay."
After bowing respectfully, he turned and walked toward the basement door.
At the basement door, Kasimi, who was guarding there, smiled at him: "You know the way, just leave. You'll know where to find me later."
After Emlyn left, Kasimi went into the basement and stood respectfully two meters away from the iron-black coffin, asking curiously, "Grandfather, is Emlyn really the vampire mentioned in the ancestral oracle?"
After a moment of silence, Nibais's aged voice rang out again: "The progenitor only showed me the scene of the end times, and the name of that Fool."
Kasimi paused for a moment, then asked, puzzled, "Then why did you lie to him?"
Inside the coffin, Nibais sighed, "For a vampire is needed to chant the name of that fool."
"Regardless of the reason, his being kept as a volunteer at the Harvest Church established a connection with the Church of the Earth Mother. If that 'Fool' is a true evil god, the Earth Mother's protection would be more effective than that of vampires."
"Besides, hasn't he always wanted a way to break free from the mind-suggestion he's been under? This is indeed an opportunity."
In the morning, at 15 Minsk Street.
Cyril leaned back on the sofa, bleary-eyed, and looked at Klein, who had gotten up so early and woken him up, with a helpless sigh: "Do you detectives have to get up this early every day?"
Klein, sitting at the dining table, didn't even look up. While preparing a simple breakfast, he replied, "It's nine o'clock in the morning, which is already quite late."

"If you hadn't disturbed me several times last night, I would normally have gotten up between seven and eight o'clock."
"By the way, how do you plan to act as my bodyguard while avoiding the members of the Mechanical Heart who are secretly protecting me?"
'
Cyril casually pulled out a shard of mirror with its edges wrapped in scraps of cloth and threw it over.
"Here, just carry it with you at all times, and I will keep an eye on you in the mirror world."
Klein caught the shard of mirror, examined it curiously, and confirmed that it was just an ordinary mirror.
He thought of the bodyguard he had hired for 3000 pounds... Miss Sharon was also in the mirror world following me back then, wasn't she?
It's a really convenient ability, whether it's hiding yourself or escaping quickly.
As his thoughts drifted, he suddenly remembered that there was also a mirror in the bathroom, and quickly reminded him, "Remember not to look at things you shouldn't."
Cyril turned to look at him in surprise: "Are you going to secretly photograph evidence of some gentleman or lady's infidelity this time?"
Klein's lips twitched... It only happened once, and that's what most detectives do.
He paused, then explained again, "I meant you shouldn't go into the mirror in the bathroom!"
Cyril nodded knowingly: "Okay, I will knock on the door before entering the Almighty Chapel each time to seek the permission of the great Almighty Chapel Master."
Klein: "Shut up!"
After a somewhat late breakfast, Klein set off for the Kragg Club, while Cyril hid behind the mirror shard he carried with him in the mirror world.
In the deep, dark world of the mirror, Cyril left a portrait of himself as a landmark, then pushed open a "door" leading to another world within the mirror.
After wandering through the mirror world, he arrived at the Harvest Church in the southern part of the bridge.
As before, the church was empty; even during the day, few people came to pray there.
Only Father Utravsky, who was also a bishop, priest, pastor, and clergyman, and Emlin, a volunteer who was forcibly recruited, silently wiped candlesticks or prayed in the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Emlin sitting on a bench with his back to Father Utravsky, holding a rag in one hand and a candlestick in the other, mechanically wiping repeatedly with his right hand.
When he got closer, he realized that the vampire had already lost focus.
"Tsk~, you've actually learned to slack off. Did Father Utravsky dock your pay?"
"Uh, no, as a volunteer, it seems you don't even get paid."
Emlyn, snapping out of his daze, glanced at him, then lowered his head again, mechanically wiping away the dirt.

""
Cyril looked at him with a puzzled expression. If this guy didn't love dolls more than real people, he would never be in a relationship. Cyril would have suspected that the other guy had just broken up with his girlfriend.
...Well, it's also possible that they saw a doll that perfectly captured their heart, but couldn't afford to buy it. For a doll enthusiast, this is almost like a breakup.
Shaking his head with a hint of sympathy, Cyril walked past him and headed toward Father Utravsky, who was praying at his desk.
After finishing his prayers, Father Utravsky glanced back at him and, without waiting for him to speak, stood up from the bench: "Do I need to demonstrate the extraordinary abilities of the Knight of Dawn for you again?"
Cyril nodded slightly: "Mm."
"Come with me, it's the same place as before."
As he spoke, Father Utravsky had already turned and walked towards the back of the prayer hall.
Ten minutes later, after recording the extraordinary abilities of the "Dawn Knight" once again, he returned to the prayer hall, chatted with Father Utravsky about his experiences at sea, and then took his leave.
Just as he was about to leave the church, Emlyn suddenly called out to him: "Do you know 'The Fool'?"
Cyril was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to remember something, a knowing glint in his eyes.
...Has Lilith already issued a divine decree, and Nibais is starting to deceive him?
If Nibais knew he could con a real vampire savior, would he have chosen someone else?
For example, his good-for-nothing grandson, or he could just do it himself?
Seeing that Sirion had stopped but remained silent, Emlyn asked again, somewhat impatiently, "Do you even know?"
