Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3964 A bright future
It was Vera who spoke.

Hearing her soft murmur, Angel's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had thought of something.

Vera is the King of Darkness, the true uncrowned king of the underground district.

And Xia Diya is suspected to be from the underground block, maybe Vera really knows her information!

Although Angel was looking forward to Vera's next words, he acted as if he didn't care. He just glanced at Vera and said, "Oh? Ms. Vera, have you heard of this name?"

Lizzie also turned to look at Vera with surprise: "Sir, do you know Xia Diya?"

Vera looked at Angel, then at Vera, and finally fixed her gaze on Vera's face full of hope: "Shadiya... I should have some impression of this name, but I can't remember where I heard it."

The light in Lizzie's eyes dimmed slightly.

Seeing this, Vera was silent for a moment: "Wait a minute, let me think about it."

A glimmer of hope appeared on Lizzie's face again, and she nodded quickly, not even daring to speak loudly for fear of disturbing Vera.

Vera summoned the magic book and turned to the page of the Eye of the Heart again.

As an extremely rare special-grade monster, the Eye of the Heart naturally has more than just the ability of Heart Flow. It also has many auxiliary abilities. For example, it can purify the mind and assist the magician to enter the spiritual thinking state.

"Inspiration" is a term used by fashion magicians, which means a burst of inspiration.

Many fashion arts and cutting-edge trends are created by magicians in a state of inspiration.

Vera used her mind purification ability to put herself into a state of inspiration. Although inspiration is the source of "inspiration burst", it can also be used to assist memory.

Moreover, Vera had long ago transformed her memory bank into a memory palace to prevent herself from forgetting.

"Inspiration" is the key to open the door to the palace of memory.

As the Hall of Memory opened, Vera saw an illusory hall in a state of meditation, where all kinds of things were piled up.

A small blanket, a teddy bear, a seesaw, a slide, school uniforms, petals...

Everything here carries a memory.

As long as she sees these things, Vera can instantly recall the corresponding memories, similar to associative memory.

For example, the tattered little quilt carries her childhood memories. This little quilt was the most important thing for her before she was ten years old. She had to hold it in her hands every night before going to bed. It was her "Abebe".

When she saw the little quilt, she could recall the distant and innocent days...

Vera's thoughts continued to move forward in the hall of memory. Her eyes swept over various things, and the corresponding memories flowed into her mind like water.

After being sure it was of no use, it slowly flowed out again.

After a while, Vera's eyes were fixed on an imaginary girl in the memory hall.

This imaginary girl is a mutant, with a horizontal eye growth between her eyebrows, but she doesn't look scary, but rather cool.

She is Vera's current assistant, her name is A Duo.

To be precise, it is the current assistant corresponding to the identity of "Lord of Darkness".

Occasionally, when Vera entered the underground district as the Dark Lord, Aduo would compile a report on the recent events of the Round Table and report it to Vera.

The things that Aduo reported were usually major events, or trivial matters that the Knights had not yet dealt with.

In order to facilitate memory, Vera created the virtual image of "Aduo" in the memory hall, and archived and organized various reports made by Aduo into this virtual image.

Categorized and available for use at any time.

When Vera stood in front of Aduo, she felt her inspiration surge, and she immediately understood that the memories related to "Shadiya" should be here.

She looked at A Duo, thinking carefully.

After a moment, she slowly came back to her senses, her thoughts pulled out of the palace of memories, and her eyes slowly opened.

She stayed in the memory palace she built for more than ten minutes, but in fact only a few seconds had passed in the outside world.

When she opened her eyes, she could clearly see that Lizzie's dim eyes had rekindled and were staring at her expectantly.

To be honest, if Angel asked her to do this, she might still hesitate whether to use it to exchange benefits.

But if Lizzie begged her, it would be okay to tell her directly.

Besides, the information she just found out was not very important.

Thinking of this, Vera slowly said: "I remember when I went to the underground block before..."

Underground district? Lizzie's eyes flashed with surprise. Lady Vera actually went to the underground district.

Vera noticed Lizzie's look while she was talking. Obviously, she didn't know her other identity, which also proved from the side that the relationship between Lizzie and Angel was not as deep as imagined.

Vera: “I occasionally go to the underground neighborhoods for inspiration.”

Vera just explained it casually, but Lizzie believed it immediately.

Because inspiration for marginalized styles such as wasteland, punk, and apocalyptic styles may not necessarily be found in surface urban areas; on the contrary, underground cities can nurture such unique and niche styles.

"Once, when I went to the underground city, I met a young man in a homeless house who posted a missing person mission."

"He is looking for his missing sister. His sister's name is Xidaya."

Lizzie: "Sendaya?"

Vera nodded: "Yes, it's called Xidaya."

"But we are looking for Xia Diya?" Li Zi expressed confusion.

Vera: "If nothing unexpected happens, Xidaya is Xiadiya. You may want to go to the wandering house to check out the specific situation. If the mission is still there..."

Although Lizzie was doubtful, she nodded: "Okay."

At this time, Angel suddenly said: "I'll go. I happen to be in the underground block, and there happens to be a homeless house in this block."

Lizzie was stunned and looked at Angel blankly: "You are in the underground district? But, aren't you... here now?"

Lizzie didn't react for a moment, but Vera snorted coldly: "Isn't this obvious? This is obviously not his real body."

After Vera finished speaking, Angel did not refute, but made the color of his illusion body slightly lighter, as if it had changed from heavy ink to light and elegant.

When Lizzie saw this scene, she finally came to her senses. Angel did not come in person, but came as an illusion.

No wonder Vera didn't order coffee for Angel from beginning to end.

When she was watching from the window before, she thought Vera was deliberately making fun of Joe. Now that she thought about it, Vera must have discovered that Angel was not his real self a long time ago.

only……

Lizzie looked at Angel. Even if this illusion body was replaced with a "light and elegant" coating, it was still incredibly real.

Simply incredible.

What kind of fashion magic can create such a realistic illusion?

Lizzie was very surprised, but Vera looked calm, because she knew very well that this was definitely not the effect of fashion magic, but probably... it was the legendary wizard's spell.

Angel didn't explain much, but turned to look at Vera: "It's a pleasant conversation today, I won't stay any longer. If Ms. Vera needs to contact me for anything, you can ask Lizzie for help."

"Finally, I am very grateful to Ms. Vera for providing the information about Shadiya. See you next time."

After he finished speaking, Ingres' figure became like a mermaid in a fairy tale that turned into foam. The whole person began to become illusory and finally slowly disappeared.

Vera didn't say a word during the whole process.

Although she really wanted to tell Angel "never see you again", considering the possible impact this group of outsiders might have on Modern City, she finally suppressed the urge to blurt it out.

Only after Angel disappeared did Vera look up at Lizzie.

"I don't know how you met him." Vera: "But I want to remind you to have less contact with people like them."

Seeing Lizzie lowering her head and keeping silent, Vera knew that her warning was in vain.

Vera thought for a moment and changed the subject: "You remember that you are almost at the bottleneck, right?"

Lizzie nodded: "I'm stuck with the promotion task, and I'm not ready yet."

Vera: "Okay, you follow me for the time being and I will guide you."

Lizzie was stunned and pointed at herself, somewhat incredulous.

You know, Vera is the former president of the Fashion Guild! Such a big shot personally guiding me, what's the difference between this and pie in the sky? !

"Yes, I just happen to have nothing to do recently, so I can give you some pointers." Vera saw that Lizzie was still shocked, and said, "But I'm not giving you pointers for nothing."

"During the recent period, you will act as my life assistant and help me deal with some small matters."

"What? Don't want to?"

Lizzie was still in a daze. When she heard Vera's question, she nodded hurriedly: "Of course I am willing! It's just that the company..."

Vera: "I'll tell Lily to let you go temporarily. Your position and authority will not change during this period."

When Lizzie heard this, she stopped hesitating and the joy in her eyes was almost visible to the naked eye.

Not to mention guidance, even being Vera's assistant was a great reward for her. In the future, if she wanted to continue to rise in the Fashion Guild system, the experience of "having been Vera's assistant" alone would be enough to offset her other achievements.

What's more, Vera helped solve the problems at the company and took every aspect into consideration for her. If she resisted again, she would be ungrateful.

Seeing Lizzie nod in agreement, Vera also nodded with satisfaction.

"Now, as my assistant, the first thing I want you to do is go to Chaprada Media."

Li Zi immediately put away her expression and asked solemnly, "What specific aspects are you checking?"

Vera said softly, "Anything you think is unusual, report it to me."

Lizzie didn't know the inside story, but since this was her first job as Vera's assistant, she had to do it well.

"Go."

Lizzie nodded and quickly left the cafe.

When Vera was the only one left in the cafe, she looked through the window illuminated by warm light at the gloomy sky outside.

The eyes are dark and unclear.

……

the other side.

Although Angel retracted his illusion body, he still watched Lizzie from a God's perspective.

He also learned that Lizzie was "recruited" by Vera and began to investigate Prada Media.

Angel did not choose to stop.

When he asked Vera to do her best to protect the beauty pageant, he could foresee that Vera would investigate Prada Media.

Angel didn't care about Vera's investigation.

The appearance of Gleipnir has, to a certain extent, broken the difficult situation of Prada Media. Their subsequent actions, including the arrangements made to complete the main mission 3, the materials recovered, and the magicians recruited, will surely attract the attention of major organizations.

So, it would attract attention anyway, so what’s the problem if Vera noticed it in advance?

Besides, Vera can be considered their "ally" for now.

It wouldn't hurt to let her find out.

In fact, Angel had wanted to tell Vera directly about some of Gleipnir's situations.

But then he thought that it would be more impressive for Vera to investigate it herself rather than for him to tell her directly.

Compared to these trivial matters, what Angel actually cares more about is the identity of "Shadya".

He didn't expect that after going around in circles and working on the mission of returning the corpses for so long, Lizzie didn't find many clues, but instead got key information from Vera.

This can be considered a ray of hope.

As Angel thought about this, he rowed the boat to the shore, preparing to return to the Eighth Town from the underground lake to inquire about the situation in the homeless house there.

After landing, Angel began to walk along the lakeshore towards the underground town.

Not long after walking, I heard a noise coming from the front.

A group of mutant children were running along the river, shouting for help as they ran.

Looking closely, I saw a woman who had fallen into the water, floating up and down in the water. She looked unconscious and motionless. She was drifting downstream.

Because the river was rushing fast, the group of children discovered that she had fallen into the water, but they did not dare to jump in to save her. They could only run while calling for help.

Seeing this, Angel didn't think much about it. He just stepped forward and secretly used his magic hand to rescue the woman who fell into the water.

Amid the gratitude of the children around him, Ingres did not leave his name but slowly left.

However, the real body continued to go to the Eighth Town, but the illusion body in the underwater church opened its eyes.

Underwater church, outside the compartment door.

As Angel came back to his senses, he heard Laplace's voice: "Have you finished dealing with your main body?"

Angel shook his head: "No, it's almost there. But I just encountered something."

Laplace: "What's going on?"

Ingres specifically mentioned "encountering something", which probably wasn't without purpose, as this matter should have a follow-up.

Angel: "I just met a woman who fell into the water..."

Ingres briefly recounted a little incident that had just occurred.

After he finished speaking, when Laplace was thinking about what was special about this incident, Angel changed the subject and said, "I originally thought that the woman was unconscious due to drowning, but when I rescued her and touched her body, I found that she was not drowning, but was targeted by a fashion monster."
