Chapter 2474: Black Onyx and Jewelry Box

From the moment he saw his mentor, Qiao An was secretly speculating about his intention to visit late at night.
The conversation between Sir Castis and Professor Moriarty before his death sounded like a puzzle, and it was impossible to decipher what agreement the two had concluded.
Up to this moment, seeing Professor Moriarty take out a black agate as a material for casting and blessing a certain high-level necromantic spell, Qiao Ann’s heart twitched violently and couldn’t help reaching out to stop the teacher from casting the spell, but Bounced away by a protective barrier.
"What's the matter, Joan?" Rebecca looked over worriedly. "What spell is Mr. Professor casting?"
"It's probably the eight-ring ‘Spirit of Confinement’." Qiao An took a deep breath and tried to make himself appear calmer. "If I’m not mistaken... the instructor intends to imprison Sir Alex’s soul."
"Ah? This..." Rebecca froze for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Does this mean that my father's soul can escape from the seriously ill flesh and continue to live in the world?"
"You only thought of the good side, but the downside is that Sir Alex Ferguson's soul cannot escape the confinement of that black onyx. There is no free soul, what is the difference with death?"
Qiao An sighed, and then said: "What's more, the'Sacred Seal' is not only a parasite of the flesh, but also closely connected with the soul of the host. Even if Sir Alex abandons the flesh, he will not be able to escape the curse of the evil Ecardna. Once that imprisonment The black agate of the soul is destroyed, and the holy beast will hatch from it."
"According to what you said, what is the point of the professor's "spiritual confinement" on my father?" Rebecca looked confused.
"This is exactly my question." Qiao An looked to the tutor, expecting him to answer.
"What's the point?" Professor Moriarty smiled weirdly. "I ran this hard in the middle of the night, of course because it is good for me to do so."
"I have already negotiated with Di Ning. As long as I can manage to kill Sir Castis and bring the Sir Alex Ferguson's spirit back to Fort Duning, I will be eligible to join the Brotherhood of Our Lady. With this feat, he will receive the grace of the Virgin and directly upgrade to a high-level mythological creature."
Professor Moriarty shrugged, held the black gem filled with necromantic magic in his palm, and handed it to the dying old man in the hospital bed.
"Bearing the surplus value before dying, there is nothing to lose to a dying person, and I will not let Sir Alex die for nothing, and promised him will be done, so that his elderly can go on the road with peace of mind."
"Stop it! Trofim, you lunatic! I don't allow you to do this!"
Outside the bedroom door, a woman suddenly yelled anxiously.
It's Mrs. Josephine!
Qiao Ann and Rebecca looked at each other, both at a loss.
At this time, Martha's voice came from outside the door.
"Father, the countess said that she is coming in an urgent matter. I want to see you for the last time. Can you ask her to come in and sit down?"
"No! Of course not!"
Professor Moriarty got excited before Sir Castis expressed his opinion.
"Never let that woman come in and make trouble,'Don't allow me to do this'? Huh, who does she think she is? There is no need for her to be nosy!"
"Lord, can you invite the countess in?" Joan asked the old man on the bed.
Sir Castis seemed to be exhausting his last bit of strength and shook his head weakly.
Qiao An's heart sank, and he vaguely guessed something, but was not sure.
Professor Moriarty seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly handed the black onyx to Sir Castis's hand and helped him close his palms.
"Farewell, my dear children... I wish you peace and happiness..."
At the last moment, Joan and Rebecca received a farewell voice from Sir Castis at the same time, and they all rushed to the bed.
However, the old man had stopped breathing, and Yu Wen's surviving body was lying on the bed, and his spirit, along with Ekadna's vicious curse, was transferred to the dark gem.
Professor Moriarty stared straight at the black onyx that had sealed the soul of Sir Castis, as if he had suffered a serious illness, his face was strangely pale, and his body couldn't help shaking violently. He suddenly turned around. The student glaring at him made a series of hysterical growls.
"This should be your mission!"
"Because you can't overcome your kind and weak nature, and can't overcome your ridiculous moral and cleanliness, you have to let me replace you and shoulder the responsibility of the executioner!"
"Joan, you disappointed me so much!"
In Qiao An's impression, this is the first time that the instructor has expressed "disappointment" in front of him, and he feels uncomfortable in his heart.
Rebecca stood at the door, staring at the black onyx in Professor Moriarty's hand, hesitating whether to stop him from taking away his father's soul. At this moment, seeing Professor Moriarty scolding Qiao An without warning, another worry was added to his heart, not understanding why he was inexplicably angry with his most important student.
At this time, there was a quick knock on the door again, and Rebecca vaguely heard her sister talking outside, her voice showing helplessness, as if she was trying to persuade Mrs. Josephine not to get excited, and sit down and talk slowly.
"The countess is knocking on the door...seems to be in a hurry, can you invite her in?"
Rebecca listened to the movement outside the door, and at the same time looked at Qiao An, asking whether to open the bedroom door.
"Miss Castis, please open the door later. I have a few more words to say to you and Joan alone. I'll leave after I say that. Before that, I don't want to meet that nosy woman, lest Embarrassed each other."
After Professor Moriarty vented an ignorant flame at Qiao'an, he recovered his elegant gentleman manner, touched the pocket of his coat, and took out a fist-sized square device. The outer shell was made of blue and black pure gold. Inlaid with precious stones, decorated with snails, like a fine jewelry box, handed it to Qiao An casually.
"The gem that imprisoned Lord Sir Alex's soul...I must take it away. This gadget is placed with you as a collateral. If you feel wronged and angry with me, you might as well destroy it. I will not blame you. , Maybe I have to thank you for helping me but I am troubled."
Qiao An subconsciously caught the exquisite jewellery box. The weight was heavier than it looked. It seemed that there was a magical power that foreshadows death. From the cracks in this small and mysterious container, the slightest chill came into his heart through his fingertips. .
Rebecca saw this scene next to him, and couldn't help wondering what was in the jewelry box?
However, Qiao Ann didn’t seem to want to ask, and Professor Moriarty did not take the initiative to explain, and then said to the two of them:
Tomorrow at midnight, I will formally join the'Brotherhood of Our Lady' and receive the seal given by Ecardna. If you If you are interested, you are welcome to come and watch the ceremony in Fort Duning."
