The Conspiracy Begins

 The short weekend passed by, and for the rest of the week Cesar went back to his usual routine of calm.

 On Monday, he passed a garbage can on his way to school and proceeded to inadvertently attract a large swarm of flies, and then he was immersed in the buzzing sound for the entire day.

 Most of the students in the class stared at him fiercely with a weird look, and the few girls around him who had a crush on him were secretly sniffing the air fiercely, and after realizing that the body of the male god did not have a strange smell and was still fresh and fresh, they finally felt at ease.

 For this group of precocious flat-chested girls in the class, Cesar table is very resistant. He was not a pedophile.

 After practicing for an entire day, Cesar, who was self-conscious of his natural talent, finally comprehended the method of manipulating flies. Just as his sister was born to be able to communicate with bats, he also managed to barely communicate with flies.

 This kind of communication was hard to describe, similar to the rumored 'telepathy'. The heartfelt voices of those ordinary small flies sounded to him like faint sounds that could barely be discerned after turning his headphones to the minimum, and it was very difficult to understand them. However, when the number of flies increased and expressed a meaning at the same time, this kind of heart sound could only grow bigger.

 Thinking back to the whispering sounds made by the 'magic flies' last week, these poor people who grew up in garbage cans were simply weak! It seems that in the fly world, there is also a difference in bloodline talent, ah, the humble common species!

 The next day when he went to school, Cesar, who had successfully controlled the flies, once again returned to his usual demeanor, sitting coldly in the corner flipping through his books.

 Although his skin was frighteningly white and had a vampiric elegance, Cesar's appearance and temperament had completely inherited the Count Lord's handsomeness and elegance, and coupled with the dual identity of 'Primary School's seventh grade school bully' and 'Class Teacher's Most Trusted Hawkdog', his status completely transcended the class bears, becoming the kind of high-dimensional creature that doesn't eat the earth and overlooks all beings.

 For such Cesar, friends simply didn't exist, after all, no one of his age dared to have prolonged contact with a 'perfect creature' like him. Over time, he developed a withdrawn personality that was cold and silent towards outsiders. Thus, lacking friends, he poured out his passion on his sister, which was the reason why the estranged siblings had such a good relationship.

 "Dorothy, come out and come home together." Cesar knocked on the door a couple times and then said.

 "Oh! Hold on, in a minute! Ani, bye, see you next week!" Dorothy hurriedly collected her candy, then rushed towards the door.

 "Don't rush, it's still early." Cesar said with a smile on his face.

 Another weekend had arrived, and after Dorothy's stalking and soft-spoken pampering attack, the Earl who was reading the newspaper finally couldn't stand the harassment and agreed to let her go see the latest movie of the elf star 'Cecilia', 'The Princess Adventures of the Deep Swamp Python'.

 Earlier, I said that in this world, because of the active and chaotic energy, the electrical equipment could not function properly, but if alchemy or other enchantment techniques were added, electrical energy could still be controlled by ordinary humans. Only this kind of luxury thing, can't be popularized on a wide scale, only for those aristocrats to enjoy the luxury.

 Over time, except for the thermal steam engine, magic technology, are toward the deformed direction, but there are also many beyond the imagination of the invention appeared. For example, the car, ordinary steam car speed is average, although the steam engine, thermal energy machine constantly updated, but the speed of those sports cars can only be compared to the earth. But when the magic conduction technology was integrated into it, hover cars appeared, and their speed was much faster, even compared to the gliders on Earth. In addition, high-rise buildings that surpassed a thousand floors, levitating cities made with magic, super missiles filled with all kinds of mutations, and trains without wheels but with tens of thousands of pairs of legs ...

 Under the catalyst of Ceylon's unique civilization system, 'science and technology' stood at another level equal to or even higher than Earth. Of course, there are many places that are not as good as Earth, such as super computers that can do high-speed calculations, nuclear warheads capable of nuclear fission, and smart phones that can be used by all people, etc....

 Because of this, Cesar did not pay attention to those 'tattered memories', although the Earth's civilization had many redeeming qualities, Ceylon's civilization might not be inferior to it. Cesar, who grew up on this planet since he was a child, only regarded these 'memories' as science books to develop his soul, expand his insights, and grow his crooked knowledge and black technology.

 Although electricity was not widely popularized, the use of electricity had been developed and put into use a hundred years ago. Major corporations, princes and aristocrats, high-end transportation, hotels and restaurants, are using electric lights, and Cesar's family also has a radio and telephone with wires.

 So it was only natural that movies would appear.

 "A movie? Can't you watch it at home? Have to go to a crowded place like that?" Cesar, who had occasionally watched a few old documentaries, was not interested in the so-called movies.

 This world didn't have movie synthetic special effects, and although the various gifted abilities and magical light effects had reached the point of metaphysics, Cesar still felt that Earth movies were better. After all, even if you are gifted, you can't get outer space effects! People's superheroes rely on special effects, we Terra all live action, if Nolan in this world will be excited to faint?

 Although the effects of local movies are no worse than those on Earth, the entertainment industry in Ceylon, where there is no Internet and no TV, is far less developed than on Earth. Whether it's the scripts, or the lines, it's more than a step weaker than Earth. And the amount of movies produced in the world each year was less than half of Hollywood's.

 "Watch it at home? Pops wouldn't buy a videotape! What's more, the curtain in our house is too small, it doesn't have the effect of a theater. Other theaters have surround sound, but we just have two big speakers at home." Dorothy said with a look of disgust.

 "Tsk, you know quite a lot, you haven't read many magazines, right?" Cesar cracked down.

 "Che, what's wrong with me reading my mom's magazine?" Dorothy said smugly.

 "Oh? Cecilia has a new movie out?" Nicole, who came out of the bedroom, heard the siblings' conversation and curiously said. This blood noblewoman was equally a social queen.

 "That's right! New movie oh! I heard that the film crew specifically went to an exotic country to get material, and also rented a very powerful swamp python, and this time, not only is there Cecilia, the male lead is ... even more!" Dorothy's mouth couldn't close and said a whole bunch of names of actors that Cesar had never heard of.

 "Really? I wish I could go see it! Unfortunately, I have a dance tomorrow. Good daughter, how about this, let's go see it the day after tomorrow, how about it?" Nicole stared at Dorothy expectantly.

 "No! I've been putting up with this for so long, and I'm finally looking forward to the weekend, so I can't put it off any longer! Let's do it this way, I'll watch it once first to try the poison, in case it's a bad shot, then you'll be safe, mom. If it's good, I'll watch it again with mom!" Dorothy witty back.

 "Good daughter, it's settled. But this movie sure isn't bad!" Nicole swore.

 "Nicole, you're so confident!" Cesar said unconvincingly.

 "What, don't you know Cecilia's reputation?" Nicole stared at Cesar incredulously.

 "Cecilia is an elfin actress who debuted four years ago, and in just one year she became popular throughout the empire, then sensationalized the entire continent, and was hailed as the second only to 'Denise' actress in history! She is beautiful in appearance, elegant in temperament, highly skilled in acting, and quite dedicated to her work, never complaining about her suffering, and is a role model for all actors and actresses. Her body circumference is ... "Talking about this, Nicole reported a series of figures with great interest.

 "Uh ... Denise I know, the Hundred Changes Banshee, never aging Banshee Queen Well!" Cesar dryly laughed.

 "Denise who does not know? I grew up watching her movies! People have been flourishing for thirty years now, there is no one on this planet who doesn't know her. Gee, I watched her new movie last year, and she was still sixteen years old! I thought that when I first watched her movie back then, I was still a young teenager ... Now I'm already old, and she's still as young as ever ..." the Count reminisced with full of emotion, not noticing in the slightest that behind him, the sun was turning into clouds. Nicole.

 "That's! It is! In the textbook of the first grade of elementary school, there is a text introducing 'Denise', how can you, a schoolteacher, not be aware of her deeds? But, she's really so young, forever sixteen!" Dorothy said enviously.

 "What's there to envy, she's a Death Banshee, if you go and do an Undead Transformation Ceremony, you'll be just as youthful. Forever seven years old Princess Dorothy!" Cesar despised.

 "Che, when I have money, I'll go buy the Fountain of Youth. How miserable is it to become an undead? Same as someone who can't bask in the sun."

 "To be clear, who can't sunbathe? I just don't like the sun. You, a mutated bat that evolved light and abilities, is sunbathing amazing?" Cesar, who hated being called a 'little white boy' the most, had always been sensitive to the issue of 'sunbathing'.

 "Alright, stop fooling around and get some rest. Summer vacation is in a week, so get up tomorrow and prepare your vacation schedule, write out all the activities you'll be participating in and your father and I will approve them. Also, tomorrow afternoon go and clean up the weeds in the garden. By the way Cesar, that snake you've been keeping hasn't been fed for three months, so I don't think it will live for more than a week. If you don't want to be tortured by Elsa, you'd better go and take a look." Nicole smiled, but there was a faint pleasure in her eyes, as if she was looking forward to that snake being starved to death.

 "Crap! I can't believe I forgot about it, Elsa will definitely kill me!" Cesar rolled over and jumped off the couch, and proceeded to run towards the bedroom, ready to rescue the snake that he had locked in a box for three whole months.

 "Mom, where's my movie? It's packed from morning to afternoon!"

 "Have you Cesar go with you tomorrow afternoon and I'll give you the support car." Nicole said.

 "Great! Dorothy loves Mamma the most!" 

When the siblings went back to bed, the Earl put down the newspaper and looked at Nicole and asked, "At a time like this, you're still letting them run around?"

 "What? Watching a movie on your own turf can be dangerous?" Nicole raised her eyebrows and said back.

 "I have a bad feeling that the sky is about to change in this world, it's better for them to stay at home. Recently, many strange faces have appeared in the underbelly of Arkan, and the guards can't quite keep track of them."

 "It's you who's too jumpy, you've been paranoid ever since Dorothy showed her idiosyncrasies last week. Even if those guys were able to find Dorothy and Cesar, it would be a long time from now. What do you think, is hell closer to our house? Or is that lord close to our home?" Nicole asked.

 "Well, I'm the one overthinking it. When the teacher comes here, everything will be back to normal." The Count leaned back in his chair and said feebly.

 "Speaking of which, I haven't met that lord yet. What do I need to prepare for when he comes to our home?" Nicole asked with some restraint.

 "No need, you usually take care of Cesar so much, it's good to keep the original state. Well, the teacher likes to smoke, and carrots, you can just buy more."

 "You invited him this time to give Cesar ...," Nicole said hesitantly.

 "That's right, to give Cesar and Dorothy a 'resonance ceremony'. I've already talked to Sensei about Dorothy's situation, and the 'resonance body' he'll prepare for Dorothy, so you don't have to worry."

 "Really? Dorothy has a part in it!" Nicole said in surprise.

 "They're all my children, would I be biased?" The Earl had a hurt expression of being struck.

 "No, I've heard from my clan that the cost of that kind of ceremony is so high that even the 'Guardians' rarely perform it for people. Other than you, I have never seen a second 'resonator' in my life. Cesar is that lord's grandson, and there is Elsa to help, naturally have a share, but Dorothy has nothing to do with that one ..."

 "How is it unrelated? Dorothy is my daughter, Cesar's sister, his granddaughter. Rest assured, there's nothing too costly about this kind of ceremony, except that it's very expensive that's all. The rumors of the outside world being so tragic are just a means for teacher to raise his price. With teacher's assets, it's no problem to purchase a hundred resonance bodies for Dorothy." The Earl explained with amusement.

 "That kind of big shot still needs to play these small tricks?" Nicole was surprised.

 "Teacher is very cunning, this point Cesar is very similar to him." Earl laughed.

 "By the way, Elsa is preparing Cesar for the Higher Magic Academy, right?" Nicole asked.

 "That's right, regarding Cesar's matters, I can't get involved, it's all being run by Elsa. Because of Cesar's mother, she can't trust me, and I'm not in a position to stop her. In short, she will only do better than us." The Earl muttered with eyes full of helplessness.

 "Cesar has Elsa in charge, so naturally he doesn't need to worry. He still has his grandfather, so he will definitely be able to live a good life in the future. Although I as a stepmother can't help much, I'm relieved that he's safe." Nicole said reassuringly.

 "I will leave the 'Holy Sword' to Dorothy, and she will also be safe." The Count added.

 "What?!" Nicole looked at her husband incredulously.

 "I owe Cesar a lot, but this sword must be left to Dorothy, they are all my children and must be strong enough to protect themselves. The teacher must leave the most precious thing to Cesar, and Elsa too. But Dorothy has no one to care about, this sword has to be left to her, I think Cesar can understand, after all, he loves his sister so much."

 "What are you babbling about? I, a mother, still won't care about my own daughter? My father is still the Archduke! Don't worry, I have good things left for Dorothy, you don't have to worry blindly. You favor Dorothy too much, leaving everything for her, but Cesar has no share. From now on, talk to him more often, don't be so serious. This child is very close to Dorothy and Elsa, but he is quite polite to us, and he has never called me 'mother' before.

 At the same time, in the basement of a large warehouse somewhere in Arken City, a green-pupiled man was staring at the raven in front of him with an excited expression.

 "Everything has been shipped?" The green-pupil man eagerly looked at the crow across from him.

 "Philemon, are you sure this is okay?"

 Uncomfortable being looked at by the man, the crow jumped aside, then stretched out its neck again and pointed with its pointed beak at the large pile of scattered potion bottles behind Philemon. Even those who didn't know anything about the business knew that mixing potions haphazardly would never result in any successful potions, and it was impossible to create any 'suicide pills' with powerful side effects, the only result would be a waste of raw materials.

 "You doubt me? I've been in the Southern Continent Hunting Team for 10 years, and I've guarded the 'Prison of the Underworld' for another 14 full years," Philemon said resentfully, that thick aura of resentment forcing the crows to keep jumping backward.

 "I'm not doubting you, but is it really okay to mess around with reagent bottles?" Raven hurriedly defended.

 "Enough, you don't need to meddle in my affairs! Your status is only that of a monitor, you have the right to follow me but not the right to accuse me. Everything in this operation is under my command, do you have a problem with that?" Philemon pressed nervously, as if this harmless crow was trying to take his power.

 "No opinion! No opinion at all! Feel free to do whatever you want, I'll just watch from the side." The raven flapped its wings and flew to the wire at the top of the basement, watching him from afar.

 "Did all the potions I asked for arrive?" Philemon asked again.

 "Delivered, here!" The raven suddenly flew up in the basement and spat out a metal capsule above Philemon's head before flying back to his position, "HQ said that this time is your last chance, if you don't make the achievement, then you won't be able to take a step out of the Underland in your life, unless you can cross the 'Woe' boundary."

 "You go and inform the headquarters that I've stumbled upon an unexpected blessing this time, two more research materials. Tell them to rest assured that I'll personally do it, there's no way I'll make a mistake!" As Philemon spoke, he opened the metal capsule and took out a ball of paper folded into a small roll.

 After unfolding the drawing and laying it flat, it was an extremely thin square of translucent paper. On the surface of the paper, there was an unusually complex and difficult to understand magic formation diagram, and the lines of various colors intersected with each other, transforming into a dizzying magic formation diagram.

 At first glance, Philemon also developed a nauseating feeling of dizziness, these constantly swimming lines are really complicated, fortunately he does not need to understand the meaning of it.

 Taking a glass blade he cut open his finger and a drop of blood fell onto the drawing.

 "Blood authentication in progress ... confirmed, please enter the password." The magic array on the drawing suddenly changed, emptying into a blank space and revealing a line like this.

 "Huh? So advanced! Have I been locked up for too long all these years?" Philemon looked at the shimmering drawing and was surprised.

 "Uh, you're overthinking it. Those are all fixed programs deliberately compiled by the cartographers, the diagrams just look good, they don't mean anything. The same goes for the handwriting, it will appear as soon as the blood is dripped. If it meets the criteria, the words will appear, and if the blood doesn't match, it will automatically go out." Crow explained.

 "You guys are boring!" Philemon whispered, then entered his employee number.

 "Turn on!" The magic text changed again.

 Philemon pressed both of his hands onto the drawing, then his palms sunk down slightly, sinking into the middle of the drawing until both of his small arms were completely missing from the paper. From a distance, his hands eerily disappeared! Or inserted into the table, but the bottom of the table was empty.

 After half a day of stirring his arms, Philemon's eyes suddenly lit up, "Found it!"

 Then he exerted both hands and pulled out a small box from the drawings, which was the important information sent from the headquarters. When the box left the drawing, the paper burned up and turned into ashes. Philemon ignored the spontaneously combusted drawing and opened the box, throwing away the top layer of information and taking the lower bottle labeled 'Magical Potion'.

 The stack of information he had thrown away scattered across the table, revealing its contents.

 Level 1 Secret: On February 4th, the organization mistakenly entered a relic while capturing magical creatures in the Southern Continent and found four corpses of ancient creatures. The degree of preservation is extremely poor, and has been tattered and decayed.On February 9, the corpses were transported back to headquarters for research, and the organization judged this to be an otherworldly species, a Higher Devil.On the 11th, the conclusions were overturned, and the corpses were ranked one level higher,... the old days of the Sin Clan.
