A Visit

'She's telling the truth!'

' Owen's nightmare wasn't caused by her... but we can't rule out the possibility of someone behind her...'

'Would that information Ancient Serpent Society?'

'So... is it possible for me to contact the Ancient Serpent Society through Margaret?'

The Ancient Serpent Society is undoubtedly an extremely evil and terrifying organization. Its members not only worship the ' Great Serpent that ruled the world in ancient times'—which is most likely the Avatar of Demon —but also perpetrated the Nia City massacre.

Furthermore, two of the fifth-tier legendary-level professionals are also targets of Sulu's revenge.

But that didn't stop Sulu from seeking professional information about [Dream Master] from them.

The followers of Demon possess various career paths such as [Fallen], [Necro-Spirit], [Medium], and [Shadow Binder], most of which are related to the Spirit World! They are very powerful!

Although Kira Giles claimed that there was only a [Mystic Expert] promotion path within the Ancient Serpent Society, Sulu felt that it was because the other party's status was too low.

The history of Demon worship is no shorter than that of ancient ruins.

'There's another piece of evidence here... In the Dream of the Ancient God, Bright Archbishop Oliver of Light recognized the [Thaumaturge] at a glance and pointed directly to the Ancient Serpent Society!'

Therefore, the possibility that the Ancient Serpent Society possesses another path—that of a [Medium]—is very high.

Of course, the other party may lack information about the second fusion path for job advancement—[Dimensional Walker], which is why there has never been a fifth-tier legendary [Medium] class.

Sulu gazed at Margaret, his mind racing: 'Perhaps she'd been under the Ancient Serpent Society's surveillance ever since she went to Lori City?'

'Thank God... my identity in Lori City was a fake Scholar Sean, and I never exhibited the characteristics of a [Medium] or [Thaumaturge]...'

'Perhaps... I could use this identity to make a deal with the Ancient Serpent Society?'

This is the most likely way to obtain the [Dream Master]'s legacy.

Apart from that, Sulu can only excavate ancient ruins or even search in the Dream Spirit World, which is often more dangerous.

In short... it's worth a try.

Sulu said to Margaret, "Regarding your grandfather... if that's true, there's a problem with his belongings, and one of my employers has run into special circumstances... therefore, I need you to prove his innocence!"

How can you prove it?

Margaret looked up, her face blank and her eyes wide with surprise.

'Girl... you're so easy to sell like this...'

Sulu sighed inwardly, "I'm going to keep you under house arrest for a while, until I'm sure you have nothing to do with my employer... Have you seen my apartment? There are still many empty rooms there."

"You're going to imprison me?"

Margaret was no naive girl after all; an angry expression appeared on her face.

"Yes."

Sulu shrugged. "You can't refuse... because in a way, I'm a mystic too! Well, Harlock, and so is this dog... it'll be your overseer!"

"Woof!"

When his name was called, Harlock straightened up, wearing a proud expression.

"An extraordinary... dog?"

Margaret felt the world was a little crazy.

"If you've ever been exposed to the mystical, this is nothing... Now, come with me!"

The last few characters of Sulu's name were emphasized with Words of Arrogance!

Suppressing an ordinary person with mysterious power is no problem at all.

Margaret first heard a few strange notes, making her feel as if there was something wrong with her ears. Then, she involuntarily stood up and followed behind Sulu.

"Wait a minute, I still need to pack up a bit."

Her blank expression didn't return until Sulu left the house, at which point she quickly called out.

Five minutes!

Sulu's Words of Arrogance were merely a way to demonstrate his status and intimidation.

The power of one or two notes could only control the opponent for a few minutes at most, and upon hearing this, the restriction was immediately lifted.

13 Black Rose Road.

Sulu, leading Harlock by the hand, followed by Margaret carrying two large suitcases, opened the apartment door.

"Good day, sir!"

Mary, who was cleaning the floor, looked up and saw Margaret, which surprised her.

"This is Miss Margaret, who will be staying with me for a while... Please prepare a guest room for her!"

Sulu casually told Harlock to go play by himself, then went to his bedroom and took out the manuscript he had received from Owen.

After what had just happened, he felt that there might be some secrets hidden here, waiting for him to discover them.

"First, exclude the parts in the common language and Ancient Hebraic, as these are mostly esoteric common sense, and contain errors and fallacies... Then there's the Gulam Language."

He deciphered the serpentine handwriting. "It describes some rituals related to ' Spirit Mediumship,' 'psychic vision,' and ' the Spirit World '... It's not anything particularly significant, so... the key lies in those strange symbols?"

These materials are a complete hodgepodge of texts. I don't know where Old Mad copied them from. It's as if he haphazardly mixed together occult content from different periods and styles, without any order or logic. It's the kind of layout that would drive obsessive-compulsive readers crazy.

"The content of the Gulam Language... is just a slightly more advanced occult ritual, and it doesn't quite seem like it..."

Sulu looked at some other symbols.

They are scattered among the words and sentences, without any special meaning.

But Sulu understood that there were definitely more than just two occult languages in the world: Ancient Hebraic and Gulam Language.

Many beings of high status can create unique languages and scripts imbued with mysterious power, such as Words of Arrogance!

"Logically speaking, the Ancient Serpent Society searching for the contents of the Gulam Language... but their value is quite ordinary, so... it's these symbols?"

Sulu rubbed his temples.

He did not attempt to imitate or depict it, because if the other party truly possessed some kind of power, this would likely cause it to be released, resulting in negative consequences.

Perhaps Owen had nightmares because he copied down these symbols.

Just then, he heard a knock on the door.

"Sir... there are two police officers outside looking for you!" Mary said, rubbing her hands nervously.

"Fine!"

Sulu frowned and went downstairs, where he saw Sean, dressed in a police officer's uniform, and another middle-aged man sitting on wooden chairs in the living room, curiously teasing Harlock.

'No way? I just checked Margaret's water meter, and now someone's checking mine? Is this karma?'

Sulu stepped forward, somewhat speechless. "Gentlemen... is there anything I can help you with?"

"Again... What a good dog!"

Sean, who was playing catch with Harlock, looked up when he heard this. "Yes... we... uh, we do have some problems."

He glanced at Mary and Margaret not far away, gesturing for them to find a quieter place.
