the culprit

Felix naturally knew what the Philosopher's Stone was.For alchemists, it is like a magic weapon that turns any impure base metal—such as copper, iron, or lead—into the purest metal, gold.And more importantly, alchemists can even use the Philosopher's Stone to refine the elixir of life.

According to the legend of alchemists, if you get the Philosopher's Stone, you will get eternal life and wealth.

But this substance exists almost only in rural legends. There are poems describing it as a red gemstone and like flowing blood, comparing it to the blessing of creation, and it is a gift from nature to those with high morals ——However, almost no one has really seen this miraculous substance.

Liszt is a military officer who won the revolution by relying on guns and technology. Felix has doubts about his words.

"As I said, I also have the blood of the dream thief. When Cyril invaded my life, I also sneaked into his dream. In his dream, he saw that his teacher Bray had the Philosopher's Stone. Qian Zhen It's true." Liszt walked towards Felix, "No matter what purpose Bray had, it is a fact that the Brotherhood helped me. I will help you get the Philosopher's Stone."

In his dream, he had seen the horror of Cyril being tortured, and he also knew that the young man was willing to suffer in the place of others.They have not compared each other in this life, but he admires Cyril's kindness and bravery, and sincerely hopes that he can tide over the difficulties.

Felix stared at Liszt for a while, finally shook his head and said: "Your identity is sensitive, you may still be wanted. I will go." He solemnly handed Cyril in his arms to Liszt, and sincerely thanked him .

Before leaving, Liszt revealed Bray's residence, Felix stopped talking, put on a cloak and left the village.

Bray was wearing pajamas and had just finished drinking a glass of red wine and was about to go to bed when he heard an unusual noise outside the window. He vigilantly took down the sword hanging on the wall and walked to the window. Before he could open the window, he heard a bang. The glass shattered, and a tall black shadow got in.

Felix pulled down the cloak above his head, held the unsheathed sword in Bray's hand, ignored the blood in his hand, approached him bullyingly, and asked him where the Philosopher's Stone was.Bray was startled by the menacing uninvited guest and subconsciously backed away. After seeing the other person's face clearly, after careful consideration, he found that he seemed to be the executor of the Brotherhood.

He recited the mantra silently in his heart, and saw a series of numbers appearing in front of the other party, and finally relaxed his tense nerves. Bray tightened his jaw and maintained a calm appearance, saying that he did not have any Philosopher's Stone.

"Five years ago, the vampire raised by Mueller's family disappeared. Earl Mueller wrote to you, saying that as long as you are willing to help him, he will provide you with financial and political support." Felix saw that Bray was indeed as Lister said. If he refused to tell the truth, he recounted what Liszt told him in a deep voice, and carefully observed the other party's reaction, "General Hawke's son, Lord Perritt, Brother Kitty, and their supporters are all helped by you." What Mueller assassinated was not you, but a monster under your control. The vampire raised by Mueller's family disappeared, and the Earl raised you, didn't he?"

As the names gushed out of the vampire's mouth one by one, Bray's face became paler and panicked.These are secrets that only he and Earl Muller know. Every contact between them is extremely careful. All letters are destroyed after reading, and it is impossible to leave any clues.

How did he know?

"I know everything about you. You are Cyril's teacher. I don't want to make things so bad. Why don't you give me the Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible."

Liszt only saw these through Cyril's dreams, and sometimes the dreams became vague and vague, and some details were hurriedly passed by.Liszt couldn't tell the location of the Philosopher's Stone, so he told Felix what Bray had done, and asked him to use these to put pressure on Bray.

"You are a vampire, you already have eternal life, and gold is useless to you... What do you want the Philosopher's Stone for?"

Felix knew Bray was just playing for time.He snapped off the sword in Bray's hand, threw the piece to the floor, grabbed Bray by the throat, and pulled him toward him.

"Don't waste time. No one can stop me here. I killed so many people for Mueller, everyone died thinking they could get away with this set." Felix snapped Bray's A finger, covering his mouth before he screamed.

The elder was sweating profusely from the pain, rolled his eyes and almost passed out.He guessed that Felix didn't know where the Philosopher's Stone was hidden, and he was eager to get it. The vampire would not kill him so easily in order to get the stone.As long as he bears not to speak, he can always find a chance to save the day.

Seeing that Bray refused to speak, Felix broke off another finger without changing his expression.

Then came the third, and then the fourth.

By the time Bray had only one good finger left on his entire left hand, Felix broke his entire arm.

At this time, Bray's face was as pale as death, tears kept pouring out uncontrollably, and his body was already shaking like chaff.He begged for mercy intermittently under the palm of Felix, saying that he was willing to hand over the Philosopher's Stone, just to let him go.

"In...in the secret room...I'll get..."

Felix panted lightly, and there was still a trace of ferocity on his face that was incompatible with him.He wasn't stupid enough to let Bray go to fetch it alone, he clasped the back of the other's neck with one hand, he wanted to pick up Bray like a suitcase, and let Bray lead him to the secret room.

Bray said tremblingly and went to the study, and told Felix the mechanism hidden in the bookshelf with a frustrated voice like ashes.Felix turned the mechanism, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound behind a tall solid wood bookshelf, pushing the bookshelf forward, and two small mechanical wheels appeared immediately below the bookshelf, pulling two tracks and extending towards the wall.The bookshelf moved slowly along the track, and after a while, a door appeared in front of Felix.

"Just, just hide it inside..."

Felix grabbed Bray and pushed the door open.

The secret room is very different from the gentle and elegant scholar outside, filled with all kinds of weird ores, parchment books with formulas, and utensils necessary for alchemy.In addition, there are some small animal bones and mummies piled up in a corner of the secret room, as well as many less valuable gems.

Those don't look like alchemist stuff.

"In, in that box..." Bray gasped, and pointed to a small box on a wooden shelf.

Felix approached and signaled Bray to open with his eyes.Bray put on a pitiful look, saying that he had a broken arm and couldn't get the box.

Felix looked at Bray gloomily, raised his hand to open the wooden box, and found a brass box inside.He looked at Bray sternly, and Bray leaned weakly against the wooden frame, saying that the Philosopher's Stone had special properties and had to be preserved like this.Hearing this, Felix crushed the lock on the box and was about to open it when Bray picked up a tailbone of an unknown animal from the wooden frame and threw it over, muttering something.

It's spiritism.

Felix avoided it quickly with his eyes and hands, and the moment the tailbone hit the ground, it immediately transformed into a huge and vigorous black cat.It waited for the pair of golden eyes to stare at it, raised its tail and lowered its waist, exerted force on its hind legs, and rushed towards Felix.

The vampire and the Phantom Behemoth fight.Bray took the opportunity to pick up the brass box and staggered out of the secret room.He wanted to close the mechanism immediately and lock Felix into the secret room, but he couldn't use his broken arm at all, and with the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, he had to quickly put the copper box on the desk, turn back to the bookshelf and twist the mechanism.The switch was closed, and there was another rumbling sound in the study, and the bookshelf retracted along the trajectory, about to block the exit.

At this moment, Felix, who was bitten bloody by the phantom beast, slapped the bookshelf with his palm, and the tomes placed on it fell to the ground with a thud.He rushed out of the secret room, followed by the big cat.

Phantom beasts can hurt people, but people cannot hurt phantom beasts without entities.

The enchanted bookshelf returned to its original position, which happened to cut the black cat's body into two parts. One part followed Felix into the study, and the other part was locked in the secret room.

The half-length black cat chased after him, Felix ignored its bite, stepped forward and grabbed Bray who was about to escape with the Philosopher's Stone, and threw out the animal mummy stolen from the secret room with one hand. Learned to recite the spell that Bray had just recited.

It was the mummy of a mouse.

The whole corpse has more power than the bones, and the transformed mouse is nearly three times the size of the black cat. It rushed at the black cat immediately, and tore apart the black cat's phantom with its sharp front teeth. He stared at Bray, who was trembling against the wall, with those red eyes.

"Help me...please...help me, I, I can help you cancel the contract..." Seen by the mouse, Bray rushed towards Felix like grabbing a life-saving straw, tears streaming down his face begged the vampire to save him.Eudemons will not harm the person who releases them, as long as Felix is ​​willing to make a move, he will be saved.

The vampire just picked up the copper box on the table and left Bray's residence through the window without looking back.
