"Don't worry, I don't have any horrible enemies that need your help to avenge, nor do I have a fortune that can clothe and feed you for the rest of your life that I can entrust to you." Joseph looked at Charlotte, his golden eyes containing a hint of a smile.
Charlotte, who had been seen through at a glance, smiled without losing her embarrassment and thought, "Could this guy be able to eavesdrop on other people's hearts?"
However, looking at the horrible injury on the man's chest and his weakness visible to the naked eye, Charlotte still couldn't help but say, "I've had my magical essence abolished and am no longer a magician, but there is still an intermediate magician in the healing department in my clinic, so perhaps I can have her try to treat your injuries."
He knew that Vivian was at the back of the stairs, and figured that Joseph was well aware of that as well.
As a doctor, even a veterinarian, it was torture to watch a seriously injured patient die before your eyes and not do something about it.
"Even if you strayed into the abyss, you still have a compassionate heart, that, and Lynn are very similar." Joseph smiled and shook his head, "However, my injuries are too serious to be cured by a little girl, even if a Grand Magus comes, there is nothing he can do."
Charlotte looked at Joseph, because of the loss of blood his face was extraordinarily pale, while his lips turned a rich purple-black color, the toxins in his body were eroding his vitality, but his expression remained calm and collected.
He had never seen someone so calm in the face of death.
What was an Archmagician? The ceiling of the magician profession!
The dean of the Calvary Medical School was only at the strength of a Magician.
He trusted Joseph's judgment and didn't insist that Vivian treat him.
"You came here specifically to see me?" Charlotte asked, wanting to know the man's reason for coming.
"Yes. Back then, before your parents left the city to fight against the wave of magical beasts, they once left me a letter, asking me to take care of you if something happened to them." Joseph nodded slightly.
"Then why are you just showing up now? Where were you when I was in prison? Where were you when I was insulted by being bounced out of a marriage? Where were you when I was deprived of my magic essence and became an invalid?" If it had been the original body, it would have come with a hysterical quadruple question.
But Charlotte was much calmer and just said lightly, "Obviously, you didn't make it. Of course, it could be that you were too busy
It's not your fault."
The tone of her voice carried a green tea flavor of being hurt.
Charlotte's calmness made Joseph's guilt deepen, apologizing, "I was indeed busy with some important things all these years, I originally thought that with Nolan and Lynn's contribution to Calva, those people would take care of you, I never thought they would do something like that to you."
"So, you came here today specifically to apologize to me?"
"Yes, so I'm going to give you a chance."
"A chance?" Charlotte didn't show too much excitement, instead she was a little wary.
Like, "Do you want to change your life?" Junior, do you want to change your destiny? ' and the like were often huge pits.
Charlotte just wanted to work hard to earn money and live well.
Joseph fished out a black stone from his pocket and handed it to Charlotte.
"This is?" Charlotte hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took the stone.
It was an elongated stone, the front side was as smooth and flat as a mirror, the back side, although equally smooth, had an intricate spell formation engraved under the surface of the stone with dark golden lines, based on a six-maned star, supplemented by symmetrical and intricate runes, which looked rather forced and aesthetic.
The moment Charlotte entered his hand, he had the illusion of receiving a cell phone.
Whether it was the size, thickness, weight, and sense of holding, it was perfect.
Even ... it also achieved a true full screen.
However, Charlotte could be sure that a transgressive product like a cell phone had not yet appeared in the continent of Aesop, and even the steam engine had not yet appeared.
Suddenly, the stone in his hand vibrated slightly.
The pure black mirror suddenly lit up, and a line of text emerged.
Technician: [What happened to the Inquisitor? Why the sudden farewell?
Merchant: [Crap, he's not dead, is he? He still owes me 2,000 gold coins yet!
Watchman: [Yesterday he said he touched a beast queen's lair, could there have been an accident?
Light Chaser: [Does the Hidden One know the details? Normally you have more contact with the Inquisitor. @Hidden One.]
Charlotte:
Isn't this a heck of a chat group?
If he hadn't already accepted the fact that he had crossed over, he would have even felt like he was peeping into some gaming group.
But this was a fantasy world where magic was rampant and dragons flew in the sky!
Looking at the chat group called [Red Moon], the chat logs that were still being swiped, Charlotte felt numb.
Joseph seemed to be satisfied with Charlotte's expression, smiled and explained, "Perhaps it's hard for you to understand what this is, to put it simply, it's a real-time communication tool, we call it the "Black Stone'."
I understand what it is, but I can't understand why it's here? Charlotte grabbed the 'Black Stone' and asked with a puzzled expression, "What is it for? And who are they?"
"Speaking of which, we have to start with an organization called [Red Moon]. A thousand years ago, nine meteorites fell from the sky and landed all over the continent of Iso, and the red moon began to appear from the night of the meteorites.
The consecutive red moon nights lasted for three years, and it was during these three years that demonization began to appear one after another all over the Iso Continent.
Humans, beasts, orcs, and even dragons, all appeared to have inexplicable madness, and showed signs of human-to-human transmission, typically characterized by eyes turning red, losing their minds, and going crazy and killing.
Like a disease spreading, the demonization phenomenon spread to the entire continent, eventually attracting the attention of all races.
In order to resist the tide of demonized beasts, the various races ended their racial wars and built a city on the continent of Aesop, using tall walls and spell formations to isolate the demonized creatures.
Calvar was established in such a context." Joseph said in a calm tone.
Charlotte listened attentively, these old stories, he who grew up in Karwar definitely knew about them, but he didn't know what it had to do with this "Black Stone' cell phone?
"All of the above, you may know something about it, so let's talk about something you don't know." Joseph continued, "After the expiration of the three-year period, the frequency of the red moon night began to decrease, from once every three days, to once every five days, and finally stabilized to once every seven days, and it has continued until now.
Every time the night of the red moon arrives, the demonized creatures become extraordinarily active and restless.
Seemingly guided by some mysterious force, every few red moon nights, a wave of demonized creatures of varying sizes will appear to attack
This phenomenon is called "Demon Tide".
In addition to building cities to defend themselves against these waves, the people of all races were not happy to stay in the cities as turtles, so more than 900 years ago, an organization called [Red Moon] was founded.
This organization was created with the purpose of solving the mystery of the Red Moon, removing demonization, and restarting the world."
"Ah ... This is full of middle-aged sickness!" Charlotte was dumbfounded.
"From the beginning of its establishment, Red Moon has always maintained the size of nine members, and except for the initiator of Red Moon, "Vigilante", the other members involuntarily don't need to share their identities, and communicate through the "Black Stone" with code names. " Joseph then introduced.
Isn't this just a group chat with a screen name?
Nine people, chatting in a group to save the world?
He didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing when he was fifteen years old.
"You ... are a Judge?" Charlotte asked tentatively, with this invincible middle-of-the-road screen name.
"That's right, I'm the Inquisitor." Joseph nodded his head and said after a pause, "I'm mainly responsible for exploring the magical beast nests marked by members of the organization, as well as the suspicious locations circulated by other adventurers, to try to find the source of demonization, the three magical beast nests around the abyss have already been wiped out by me, and the last one had a bit of a mishap."
Charlotte's mouth was slightly open, and his gaze at Joseph became shocked, as well as in awe.
In the education he had received, the existence of magical beast nests belonged to the legend level, and textbooks did not go into detail in this regard.
However, in the rumors, not only were there a terrifying number of magical beasts in the Magical Beast Lair, there was also the existence of the Queen of Beasts, which was a terrifying existence that made even the Great Magical Instructors afraid.
And this man in front of him, his daily work was to explore and clear the lair of the magical beasts.
And the injuries he suffered were from uprooting the magical beast nests around the abyss, mostly related to the Queen of Beasts.
"Those guys in that group, what kind of existence are they?" Charlotte suddenly realized a very important question, he might have suddenly come into contact with an unimaginable mysterious organization.
"The best judgment for crazy beasts is to send them to the damn red moon." Joseph said with a grin, as if to explain his codename.
"So when you gave me the Black Stone, was there someone you asked me to bring it to?" Charlotte asked.
Right now, he was so handless that he couldn't even necessarily beat a demonized rabbit in the wilderness, and was obviously not capable of inheriting the mantle of the Inquisitor and breaking into the lair of the magical beasts with his sword.
And judging from Joseph's terrifying strength, this Red Moon organization, which always maintained a configuration of nine people, was not something that a little chicken like him could play around with.
"No, I have already chosen you as the successor of the ninth black stone, from today onwards, you are a member of Red Moon." Joseph's gaze was fixed on Charlotte, "Although we haven't met over the years, I have been watching you. I'm very pleased to meet you this time, the fact that a former genius had his magical essence abolished didn't make you give up on yourself, you still harbor a compassionate heart and a positive mindset, so I chose you to become my successor."
Charlotte didn't feel surprised and calmly asked, "Are you sure that you're letting a waste who doesn't even dare to set foot in the wilderness to occupy such a precious spot?"
"Are you willing to hide in the dark corners of the abyss as a waste for the rest of your life?" Joseph asked rhetorically.
Charlotte didn't answer and just looked at Joseph.
He wasn't someone who would get hot under the collar by someone else's tripe.
"This lukewarm and cautious character of yours is exactly like Nolan!" Joseph was exasperated and laughed, sighing, "Choosing you, besides your character, has something to do with your parents."
