Chapter 1629

While transferring the attack, the brothers retreated quickly and threw away their umbrellas, and their respective free left and right hands reached out their thumbs and index fingers to form a right angle, combined together, and swept towards the surroundings.

Although they didn't see the two, Megan felt as if she had been locked on. But fortunately, Xia De the cat in her arms could also cast spells:

"Spatial Stability Halo."

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, it must be a spatial ability. The spellcasting effect in cat form was weakened, but it was enough to resist the attack through the rain curtain and a door.

The spatial locking feeling was lifted; although the brothers failed to counterattack, they also retreated to a safe area. So the three people and one cat watched the other's figure through a frosted glass door, and the witch reminded Xia De softly:

"I felt the connection of blood; it's that pair of eight-ring twins from the 【Mirror Association】."

What Audrey and Megan could feel, the two brothers standing in the rain outside could also feel. They frowned and looked at each other; although they didn't speak, they already understood each other's meaning:

"It's that man and that cat from the island last week!"

The witch, hindered by the fact that the other party was two eight-rings, and the men outside, hindered by the fact that Xia De could be praised by the 【Mirror Hidden One】, neither took the initiative to do it. The three people and one cat looked silently at the illusory light and shadow on the other side of the glass, listening to the rain falling clatteringly.

Everyone knew the other's plan, but also knew that the other was still hesitating whether to really do it here. On this rainy morning, the last remaining bloodlines of the Edwards family met again in this gang territory in the slum, but there was no longer the kinship from when they left the central island of Green Lake.

For a long time, it was the two who were caught in the rain because their umbrellas were destroyed who said:

"I don't know how we should address you. Cousins, or aunt and uncle?"

Megan showed a smile at the corner of her mouth; she immediately understood that the other party obviously sensed that two relatives were here, and thus misunderstood Xia De's identity, but she didn't correct it:

"If you are really the grandchildren of Uncle Hohenheim, then you should address me as aunt, and address him as uncle. We are also twins; it seems the family bloodline is really magical."

Xia De the cat also understood the witch's plan, but he thought this disguise was also very good.

"I don't know, are you the descendants of Grandpa Edward, Grandpa Alphonse, or Grandma Maria?"

The men outside asked again, which meant that they actually didn't know anything about the situation of any other "relatives."

This time the witch didn't answer, but put forward her own question:

"Although I don't know what's going on with the family, I don't think joining an illegal Ringed Shushi group is what the ancestors of the Edwards wanted us to do."

"Aunt, arrogance is the original sin. Please don't use your thoughts to speculate on us; you don't know our growth trajectory, nor do you know the things our grandfather and father experienced."

As they spoke, the brothers, each blind in one eye, looked at each other again, and thick steam mist appeared in the rain curtain. The high-heat steam caused the cold rain to partially vaporize, so that the steam mist in the narrow alley became thicker and thicker.

Two rounds of eight-ring life rings appeared behind them, and then like last time, the rings intersected and rotated, almost forming a three-dimensional sphere.

So the phantom on the frosted glass door in front of Xia De and the brown-haired lady squirmed, and the glass door turned into a mirror, clearly reflecting the appearance of a person and a cat. In that mirror, the figures of the two brothers also walked into the mirror image, and then tried to step out of the mirror image into the room.

But the witch, who had been prepared, waved her hand forward and slashed; Xia De only heard the sound of a zipper closing—there were no zippers in this era—and then the glass door that had turned into a mirror shattered completely, and the figures of the two brothers in the mirror disappeared.

This was not just destroying the mirror; the witch seemed to have used some kind of power to forcibly close the opened space. And this kind of power did not look like a witch's secret technique or a Ringed Shushi's ability at all.

【Yes, suspected Chosen's talent.】

The glass door shattered, letting the cold wind outside mix with raindrops into the room. The beautiful lady with brown shoulder-length hair holding the silver-white cat took a step forward, came to the door, and then saw the twin men retreat somewhat embarrassedly to where they were standing just now.

They didn't use the ability to avoid rain, and at this time they were completely soaked, which made the two look even more embarrassed.

Without the obstruction of the glass, the three people and one cat could observe each other. And the man and the cat turned into a woman and a cat; although it was unexpected, thinking about it carefully, it was actually not very strange.

After all, the species and quantity were the same.

"The family prophecy, everyone in the Edwards will eventually reunite at the family's old home. You are indeed very strong, but obviously not strong enough. Also, what's wrong with your eyes? Coming to find Rotten Eye Bali, wouldn't it be to exchange experiences of living with one eye?"

Megan asked deliberately; the twin brothers, each blind in one eye, had probably long been accustomed to this kind of provocation and did not make any impulsive moves:

"Men are the power to stabilize space, while you are the talent to close space. Sure enough, family bloodlines all possess magical powers different from Ringed Shushi. The power of twins is also mutually complementary."

They probably misunderstood Xia De's "Spatial Stability Halo" again.

"I don't know if your father's generation is still alive, but you obviously lack the upbringing to respect your elders. Please address me as aunt, my nephews."

She said with a smile standing at the edge of the door inside the room, while the serious-looking one-eyed men looked at the woman holding the cat more cautiously; hesitating, the witch said again:

"Why are you looking for Rotten Eye Bali? If possible, we can exchange information. After all, relatives should take care of each other."

Although the three people and one cat here all knew that the second half of the sentence was a lie, the existence of kinship did not make them fight like normal enemies. The twin men looked at each other again; that power almost like telepathy let them know each other's meaning:

"We are looking for Rotten Eye Bali because he has a connection with that island. Yes, the island is not uninhabited; 【Mirror Hidden One】 believes that one of the family's ancestors must still be on the island, just don't know who it is."

The witch pinched Xia De the cat's leg, signaling him to speak; she was not the kind of person good at communication, which Cassandra and Miss Swift had both said when they were in Midehillburg.

"We are looking for Rotten Eye Bali because of the water ghost matter. He is cultivating water ghosts in Green Lake, which caused a conflict with us."

The silver cat said, and the twins frowned together; this was something they didn't know:

"Rotten Eye Bali has been transporting various goods to that island since he came here more than twenty years ago. Someone has investigated this matter, but they all disappeared. There are no traces of large-scale storage of goods on that island; there is reason to believe that his ship sailed to the family's territory, but it didn't go to that island."

This news was also something Xia De and the witch didn't know, or rather, Megan seemed to know some things, but only truly confirmed it after hearing the twins' words.

The silver-white cat continued:

"Rotten Eye Bali is a believer of the evil god 【God of the Deep Sea Drowning】. If you have investigated him, you should know that he was originally from Coldwater Port on the west coast of Delarian."

"Drowning Cult?"

The expressions on the brothers' faces were even more surprised; although the 【Mirror Association】 took the initiative because of the Chosen, before this spring, the 【Mirror Association】 had no power locally, so their understanding of Rotten Eye Bali was probably not as good as Xia De's at this time.

"Rotten Eye Bali is related to the strange 'Unifier' rumors in the villages along the lake locally. There is reason to believe that he is sending people to spread such rumors—the world will eventually return to a singularity, and the Unifier will lead everyone to live."

Xia De heard this rumor when he was looking for Rotten Eye Bali in the tavern in Pukhov Village; at that time, he felt it was very strange, and didn't expect it to really be related to the Edwards family:

"This is not right; I also know this rumor, but the local villagers said that this rumor had existed at least since his grandfather's generation. But Rotten Eye Bali only came to Green Lake City for twenty years."

The silver cat said, but the brothers didn't know why this was either.

The witch pinched the cat's leg again to give him a signal, so Xia De also said the last piece of information he knew:

"Rotten Eye Bali is a three-ring, very close to four-ring. He is a Ringed Shushi proficient in undead research, and the third floor is his laboratory."

The brothers nodded; because their appearances were exactly the same, Xia De could only distinguish them by the different eyes they had blinded. The man with the right eye blinded asked again:

"Look, isn't it good to exchange information like this? Why not share the information you found on the third floor with us. Aunt, uncle, the family bloodline will surely reunite. If you have heard the rumors circulating in the Prophecy Association recently, you will know what kind of predicament we are facing—the ancestors have laid out for so long, and they will not let us go. You and we probably won't believe that the ancestors just want to invite us to a meal and drink a few glasses of wine."

This time it was the witch who spoke:

"Just such an exchange of information is enough; we never thought about cooperating with the 【Mirror Association】. Also, even the Mirror Hidden One has come locally; do you really just come to solve family matters? Do you think we don't know the epic of the Chosen? Nephews, lying is not good."

She punctured this brief false peace and then asked another question:

"I am willing to talk to you here because I want to wait for some people. But you standing in the rain, what are you waiting for?"

While speaking, dozens of witches appeared on the roofs of the narrow alleys on the left and right sides in the rain. Because the distance was too far, Xia De didn't know what level those ladies were, but even if they were all mid-tier, plus Xia De and Megan, this number was enough to form an advantage over the two eight-ring Ringed Shushi.
