After the day it rained, Fra never asked the question again; she behaved as nothing had happened . Angele decided to sleep in the tent and Fra would sleep in the cart .
If Fra needed to go to town and purchase daily supplies, she would go to the tent and sleep by Angele's side .
Also, Angele finally made some progress on the analysis of the strange force field . Six percent of the analysis was completed .
Time flew . Several months passed in the blink of an eye .
Angele explored the tomb on the other side of the river—the evil souls and dead bodies were all removed by him . He used the dead bodies to feed the fish . Angele modified the tomb and it looked like just like a normal cave now . Fra also helped him clean the place .
They broke the cart into parts and covered them using the tent . They then cleaned the camp and moved into the cave .
Heli and Cynthia visited Angele several times during the time . They asked Angele for help again; their injuries were almost fatal .
Angele also saw a new face in their team, a muscular man named Van . They said that he was an inheritor of an ancient race .
They told Angele that it was a holy knight named Rayton who injured them . They were defeated by Rayton many times .
Angele could see hatred in their eyes as they talked about Rayton .
After Angele moved into the cave, they visited him several more times . Fatal injuries almost became a common thing for them .
**********************
In the bedroom of the cave, there was a black oil lamp on the wall . The flame in the lamp brightened up the whole bedroom but the light was a bit dim .
Angele lay in the middle of the bed; he spent four days studying the strange force field . He got so tired that he had to take a rest so he set up a simple rune circle and fell asleep .
Fra was right next to him—the girl was crying in dreams again . She was not restricted by the rune circle that Angele set up and it seemed like she was scared of living in a cave that was previously a tomb; she did not want to sleep alone so she decided to stay with Angele during the night .
*Knock Knock*
Someone knocked on the wooden door quickly . The noise was loud and deep .
Some invisible smoke appeared in the cave when the door was knocked on . The smoke quickly formed a black circle and rotated around Angele's body .
A chilling feel climbed up Angele's spine .
He opened his eyes slowly .
*BAM BAM BAM*
The noise got louder .
Fra opened her eyes as well; she was still sleepy .
"Not again…"
Angele shook his head speechlessly—he just realized that Fra was in his room again . He sat up and got off the bed, putting on a gray robe . He opened the door, walked upstairs, and unlocked the door .
The chilling air entered the cave right away . There was a heavy rain going on and he saw three people in black cloaks standing in front of the door .
"Sorry, we have to visit you again…" The black cloak in the front raised his head . It was Heli, his face was covered with blood .
*PA*
Heli suddenly leaned forward and fell to the ground . He rolled down the stairs and stopped after hitting the floor . Heli's eyes were barely open, his hands were trembling, and he could not even get up .
"Andre, you know my sister, right?"
The other two people almost fell to the ground as well . Angele supported them with his arms and checked the situation outside . The sun was still rising and there was no one else around . He helped them get inside and quickly locked the door .
He dragged Cynthia and Van to Heli . The three lined up on the floor .
Angele crouched and questioned, "What happened to your sister? I assume it's Rayton again . "
"Yeah, they captured my sister… Can you help me?" Heli responded . He wanted to grab Angele's hand but he could barely move .
"I'm not severely injured this time, I'm just tired . " It seemed like Heli finally learned the truth . "I didn't know that my sister had always been protecting me until today…"
Angele smiled . "So, your sister asked you to come to me?"
"Yeah . " Heli stared at Angele, looking confused . "I don't understand why he doesn't want to meet you . I'm always the one that does the talking . However, he said that if you can help me this time, he would consider talking to you face to face . "
"He said he would consider?" Angele shook his head, he was not concerned . "There's one thing that you didn't get right . I helped you because of you and your sister, not him . Also, maybe it's an honor for others to meet him in person but I don't care . It won't make me feel better if I can talk to him in person . "
Heli looked at Angele . He was not sure how he should respond .
"So, you already know who he is?"
"It's not important," Angele interrupted . "How should I help you?"
"I don't really know . " There was a bitter smile on Heli's face . "What can you do?"
Angele rubbed his chin and thought for a second .
"Have some rest and talk to me later . " He stood up and headed to a room on the other side .
Heli lay on the ground .
"People all have things they want, all of them! I'll meet him if he's honest . " A cold voice echoed in his ears .
"Andre helped us so much, don't you think he already met the requirements?" Heli was speechless .
"No," the voice responded, "I said I might meet him in person because of you… Unless…"
"What? Just tell me . I'll fulfill your request if you can meet Andre face to face . " There was dedication in Heli's eyes .
*************************
Half an hour later…
In a room with basic medical equipment .
The stone bricks and the floor in the room were all yellow . It was a small room with four white beds for the patients . There was a counter, a table, and some chairs beside the beds .
Heli was sitting by a bed . He glanced at Angele and looked at the brown surface of the table .
There were white scissors, a silver ball, a red triangular card, and a brown metal ring on the table .
"The situation is complicated this time, we need to rescue the hostage from the church . You're a nice guy, Heli, so I'm going to give those items to you…" Angele pointed at the four items on the table .
He grabbed the white scissors . It almost looked like the scissors were made of plaster .
"This is a special tool that can fix one's damaged muscles but it can only be used twice . When I locate the damaged muscles, I'll stab the scissor into the muscle, and the scissors will fix everything for you quickly . Also, if you're severely injured, I just need to stab the scissors into your heart slightly, and you'll not take any damage for one glass hour . All the damage you take during the period will be reflected after the time passed so you must be careful when using it . "
*KA*
Angele moved the scissors slightly and made some noise .
"It's an incredible item…" Heli looked at the scissors, a hint of greed in his eyes .
Angele picked up the second item: an egg-sized silver ball .
"This is a special explosive I created, I only have one . Hit the ball on something hard and throw it at your enemy in three seconds . I modified this thing so it shouldn't hurt the one who throws the ball, however, you still need to be careful as it's very powerful…" Angele put down the ball carefully .
Heli was not impressed . He had seen many strong explosives but he knew that he could still use the ball when retreating .
Angele noticed the change of Heli's expression and laughed inwardly . When Heli found out that the effective range of the explosion was over 100 meters and the explosion could deal over 1000 degrees of damage, he would be shocked .
Normal holy knights would be killed instantly if they were caught in the explosion . Angele had fought against a legendary knight; without the holy light, a legendary knight would still be hurt .
Also, Angele already learned that Victor was just an average legendary knight and was slightly weaker than Rayton but the ball would still work on normal holy knights .
"Alright, the third item… This and the ring . " Angele picked the two items up .
"They are two items, right?" Heli was a bit surprised .
"You can use them together . " Angele chuckled . "If you ignite the card, the smoke from the burning card will double your speed and strength . The effect will last a fifth of one glass hour . Also, if you have the ring with you when burning the card, the smoke will double the recovery speed and defense ability of the people around you . The effective time will also be extended to three glass hours . "
Heli's sight locked onto the ring and the card after hearing Angele's explanation .
Angele carefully handed the four items to Heli .
"They are yours now . Rest for a couple days and you can start the mission . "
Heli grabbed the items carefully and stood up .
*PA*
He suddenly kneeled in front of Angele to show his gratitude . "Thank you for your help!"
Angele did not expect Heli to do that, he quickly helped Heli to get up .
"I have my purpose . If you succeed, please let me extract some more blood from your body . I won't do that this time so you can save your strength for the mission .
He looked at Heli and scanned the man's body using the biochip .
Heli's bloodline was much stronger than before . Angele already created the fourth mentality crystal after he absorbed the bloodline essence the last time . However, he had not engraved any spell onto the crystal and the bloodline essence no longer worked after he created the crystal .
Angele guessed that maybe Heli's bloodline was still too weak .
What improved his bloodline was combat—his bloodline would be strengthened every time he survived a battle . Also, Angele noticed that Heli's bloodline was about to break the limit .
The "He" Heli talked about was the other persona inside his body, it was a combination of his memory and personality . The persona was called Misfortune Scale, however, Angele was not interested in it . The only thing he wanted was Heli's strengthened bloodline after Heli broke the limit .
He took out all the items that Heli could use from the mirror so the rescue mission would succeed .
"I'm going to have some rest for now . "
"Sure . "
Heli packed the items up, turned around, and left the room .
Angele sat in the chair . The blue light dots were still flashing in front of his eyes .
"It's about time… If he can survive the mission, it's highly likely that he'll break past the limit…"
