As soon as Helen finished speaking, a roar came from the other side of the restaurant.A couple didn't agree with each other, and they fought on the spot. The waiter and security hurriedly pulled them away.The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became tense.On the street outside, two drivers fought over a small traffic accident, and a police car roared in after a while.Are these two incidents a coincidence, or is Helen's interpretation of "Wherever I go, there will be war"?

Dominique said: "Well, I believe you are a war knight for the time being. But what about 'Helen of Troy'? Are you really the peerless beauty Helen who started the Trojan War?"

Helen showed a hurt expression: "Here it is again. As I said, I never start a war. I did spend some time in Greece during my long journey, and I also experienced what you call the 'Trojan War' in history." , but is the war my fault? It is obvious that the Greeks coveted the wealth of Troy in the east, so they launched the war. What is "recapturing Helen" is just an excuse. You humans always like to find high-sounding excuses for your dirty thoughts Excuses, so that you can put the blame on others and get rid of yourself, it’s like a lowly man who clearly has a weak heart and has a wrong idea, but blames women for being too beautiful and seduces them. I really laughed to death.”

On the street outside, two more people fought over an argument.Helen watched the fight between the two of them, and laughed sarcastically, "Look, I started another little war. Alas, it seems that I'm really a beauty!"

Chris said: "Benjamin Tristan once painted a painting called "Helen of Troy". The Helen in the painting is you. What's going on? Do you know him?"

Helen shook her head, her long red hair shaking like waves. "I can't say I know him. I've noticed him for a while, but he doesn't know me—me in this reality. This person has a rare psychic ability, coupled with the artist's talent, so he can create a magical A painting of power. He once witnessed the true face of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in a psychic state, just like a saint had a prophetic dream, so he knew that the war knight was Helen, and he could accurately draw my appearance. He Originally planned to create four paintings with the theme of 'Apocalypse Knight', "Helen of Troy" was one of them, representing a war knight, but unfortunately it was not completed. The "Ship on the Ice Sea" also represented an Apocalypse Knight, if it were not Benjamin Tristan went mad and died just after finishing it, and now the four paintings should be complete."

"Which knight does Ship on Ice represent?" "Did Benjamin Tristan commit suicide?"

Dominique and Chris asked simultaneously, looking at each other awkwardly.

Helen chuckled: "Don't worry, I'll answer one by one, and there is a little connection between these two questions. First of all, it's "The Ship on the Ice Sea". The ship is black, right? In Knights of the Apocalypse Who is riding the black horse?"

Dominique recalled the content in "Apocalypse": "When the third seal was opened, I heard the third living creature say, come. I watched and saw a black horse. The rider on the horse held Scales. I heard a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, A liter of wheat for a denarius, and three liters of barley for a denarius. Do not waste oil and wine."

"Is it... famine?"

"Exactly. Ship on the Ice Sea represents Famine Knight."

"What does it have to do with Tristan's death?"

Helen ran her fingers through her hair. "These two paintings about the Apocalypse Knight created by Tristan both contain magic power, to be precise, the same power as the Apocalypse Knight. "Helen of Troy" is not yet finished, so the magic power in it is very weak, unless it has a supernatural power People with a sensitive physique, otherwise they won’t be able to detect it.” She gave Dominic a meaningful look, “But "Ship on the Ice Sea" is different. Its power is so powerful that it can even disturb people's spirits. The power of Famine Knight It will bring "hunger" to human beings, but this "hunger" is not only physical, but also spiritual. It can arouse human desire for something to the greatest extent, it may be food, or It may be the desire for knowledge, lust, success, wealth, etc. But the Famine Knight will not let human beings be easily satisfied. The more human beings desire something, the more they will not get it. In the end, they can only be in extreme "hunger and thirst" Died of madness. As an artist, what Tristan desires most is to create peerless works, so he pinned all his hopes on "Ships on the Ice Sea". However, when he finished the painting, he discovered that I am not a gifted wizard, and the works I wrote did not meet his expectations, so I went crazy."

Helen paused, and then said: "You are right. The moment "Ship on the Ice Sea" was completed, the power of the famine knight contained in it affected Tristan. The painter went crazy because the work could not meet his expectations. The fire burned down the studio and himself. To outsiders, he died in the fire. The painting was miraculously intact due to the protection of the knights of the apocalypse, and was later hung in the university gallery Many people who came to visit were also affected by the power in the painting, but because the time for witnessing the picture was relatively short, they were less affected and no one was killed."

"So Vincent Bedworth is also...?"

"His 'hunger and thirst' is to collect all items with supernatural powers." Chris deduced, ""Ships on the Ice Sea" greatly stimulated his 'hunger and thirst', so he took the risk and set fire to Got Tristan's painting. I see, he had a nervous breakdown when he heard that the painting he had so hard to steal was a fake, and it turned out he was under the influence of Famine Knight's power."

Helen nodded. "good."

"Then why did I see you in the hallucination?" Dominique asked.

"That is the illusion I show you through the resonance of the power in the painting."

"You want me to destroy Tristan's painting."

"Yes. Although Tristan's painting contains the power of the Apocalypse Knight, it can be said that he 'stolen' it, and it was not granted to him by us. It should be taken back. Therefore, the two paintings and their source must be destroyed .”

Chris frowned. "The source? Isn't it enough to just destroy the painting?"

""Helen of Troy" can be destroyed directly, but "Ship on the Ice Sea" is different. It does not directly depict the true face of the Famine Knight, but uses a metaphor, using the black ship as a symbol of 'famine'. I can tell you unequivocally that the image - the ship frozen in the glacier - is real. It was an accident caused by Famine Knight in the past, and although it is long past, the remnants of that accident still have terrible influence. Only by destroying that remnant can the power of the Famine Knight be recovered."

"Why didn't Famine Knight show up and tell us this?"

Helen shrugged: "She doesn't like to meet people, so I said it for her."

"Where is that remnant? How can it be destroyed?"

"I don't know, maybe there will be clues in the future."

Dominic yelled in dissatisfaction: "Do you know that entrusting us demon hunters to do things requires money?"

Helen got up, bent down, put one hand on the table, and lifted Dominic's chin with the other: "You will benefit, trust me. And, when the time comes, maybe you don't need to entrust me at all, and you will take the initiative to destroy that remnant.”

"...Don't try to seduce me with your proud career line, I'm not interested in women." Dominique was serious, and leaned closer to Chris to prove his sexuality.

Helen withdrew her hand and brushed her long hair behind her back: "Then I will return you to the handsome guy next to you. I wish you a wonderful night." She blew a kiss to the two of them.

"Wait a minute!" Dominic called to stop her, "Is that red motorcycle outside yours?"

"Yes. How can a war knight riding a red horse not have a red car!"

"I seem to have seen the same bike when I was a kid. Is that you too?"

Helen smiled without saying a word, Tingting left gracefully, and the restaurant waiter graciously opened the door for her.

Dominic moved to Helen's original position opposite, "Finally see off...We can finally officially start dating."

Chris flipped through the menu boredly: "Isn't it already started?"

"That's how we met Helen."

Maple Ridge Town Hotel, Scott's room, Dominic told his godfather and younger brother how he and Chris met Helen.Helen nodded frequently beside her, echoing from time to time: "That's right, that's right."

After listening to his narration, Wolfgang wondered: "So that's the case, what an adventure! Then what happened to those two paintings?"

Chris said calmly: "An alumnus who didn't want to be named offered to buy the two paintings and donated a huge sum of money. The Art Institute agreed to the transaction after discussing with Tristan's family. A painting, I don’t know.”

"Is this 'alumnus' from the Witcher Association?" Scott asked.

"There seem to be quite a few of our alumni in the association." Chris replied ambiguously.

Wolfgang rubbed his chin playfully: "Does this mean 'the association's internal information cannot be leaked to outsiders'?"

"The association seems to have such regulations."

Since Chris is unwilling to answer directly, the others also understand that they should not press every step of the way.So Wolfgang changed the subject: "By the way, did you finally go to bed?"

Dominic blushed: "It's none of your business!"

Scott said grimly: "It's definitely not, it's definitely not. With his shrinking character, he might still be..."

"……you shut up."

"Anyway, that's how it happened." Helen said, "I'm just here for a visit, and I won't disturb your family reunion right now. Goodbye."

Wolfgang waved to her and said goodbye: "Leave our town quickly, if you stay here for too long, you will destroy the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the town!"

"Since you've said that, then I'll try to stay a few more days." Helen said happily.Dominique opened the door for her and couldn't wait to see her off.They heard Helen sigh loudly on purpose in the corridor: "Ah! What a beautiful town! It's so lingering!"

Wolfgang rubbed his temples: "My God...Maple Ridge won't become a battlefield of World War III..."

"Be more optimistic, godfather..." Dominic comforted, but with little effect.

"Speaking of which, Dominique," Wolfgang said hesitantly, "I always feel like someone is missing here... Is it my illusion?"

Dominic looked around: "No, you, me, Scott, Chris, we are all here, there are not many people."

"yes……"

"It must be because you're not in your own home. You're just not used to it. When the new house is built and we move back, everything will be fine!"

"Well, I must be overthinking!"
