For Rennix's serious arrangement, Lu Ning could guess that there must be a ghost inside.
"Well, I'm not here to pursue the question of whether you falsified your travel notes." Lu Ning waved her hand, "I'm more curious about the parts. Mr. Yuanguji, how did you write those?"
"Ah? Is this related to our survival?" Tsuburaya Temple Sora asked.
"I had to figure out what Mr. Rennix was thinking, at least part of it. And I'm pretty sure you became a part of his thinking, Mr. Tsuburayadera."
"Okay, okay, it sounds like you really found something. But considering what I just said, could you give me a little advice?"
We have just arrived here to negotiate terms. Tsuburaya Temple Sora's eloquence is not as good as in the travel notes... Although he has not encountered any danger to his life in the travel notes, there are indeed some other dangers.
"Okay, my first suggestion is, except for Huo Yinglong and Cynthia, don't get too close to other Howard family members." Lu Ning said.
"Okay, okay...I understand. Then I will continue talking about it."
Tsuburaya Temple Sora also heard the impatience in Lu Ning's words, and did not dare to offend her, so he quickly continued.
Regarding the creative process, Tsuburaya Temple Sora uses relatively vague words to describe it. After all, creation requires inspiration, and except for the first "Lament of Gray Peak", Tsuburaya Temple Sora wrote all the rest quickly after his inspiration burst out after traveling. In his words, from the beginning of writing to the completion of the book, it took less than one It took only a few months, and the subsequent proofreading and revisions did not make any major changes before the book was published directly.
"Including "The Remains of the Beloved Blade"?"
After all, Tsuburaya Temple Sora was the author. When Lu Ning mentioned this book, he immediately knew what she wanted to ask.
"Actually... my inspiration comes very suddenly, the kind where you suddenly want to write something, so it falls on the tip of the pen and on the paper. It just took shape, and... wonderful Unspeakable.”
It was not easy for Lu Ning to understand, as her appreciation of art had not improved much, but she could understand what Tsuburaya Temple Sora roughly meant.
"You're saying that you suddenly wanted to write these things, and you had the idea not long after the trip, right?"
Tsuburaya Temple was slightly disappointed. He nodded and said, "That's right, doctor. I'm actually very happy, because being able to write works that are recognized by many people is the greatest satisfaction for a writer. You may think that among them The emotions expressed in some books are a bit strange, but I think writing is about bringing all kinds of emotions together in words and conveying them to the reader.”
"I know, I didn't intend to understand it to such a profound level. What next? Why did you accept Rennix's invitation to come to the island?"
"Mr. Rennix has helped me so much. If he wants to invite me here for vacation, I have no choice but to accept it." Tsuburaya Terakura said with a bitter smile, "Doctor, the world is wise... no one can escape."
"But at the family dinner, Rennix asked you to record everything here. This is not a small matter. If Rennix had premeditated the killings on the island, then you must also record it truthfully. everything."
"I didn't know things would turn out like this, and even now I'm wondering if I should really record it, even if I record who should be handed over in the future... Mr. Rennix didn't mention this, he just asked me not to publish it for the time being. go out."
"Okay, then I should give you the second piece of advice." Lu Ning stepped back slightly and leaned on the desk, "Continue your duties and don't break the agreement. After knowing that the Howard family is involved in magic, , the risk of rashly breaking the contract is very high, do you understand?"
"Okay, okay." Tsuburaya Temple responded hurriedly.
"I haven't seen the back yet, but according to your way of writing at intervals, theoretically there should be one that has not yet been published, that is, the one after "Travel to the Ancient Country". Have you finished this book?"
"It's done. The proofreading work before publication has been completed. It should be released in November." Tsuburaya Temple Sora nodded.
"Then you should have this book here."
"That's right, the manuscript of "Glory Bloodline" is in my computer... Although I shouldn't show it to others, you can if you want to see it now." Tsuburaya Terakura stood up and walked to the desk. , open the laptop he brought with him.
"I need to make a copy, Mr. Tsuburaya Teraku." Lu Ning said, "You may not realize it, but your work may have already fallen into Rennix's plan. You may have indeed obtained a wonderful Inspiration, but inspiration is not necessarily a good thing.”
"Should I...should I stop?" Tsuburaya Temple asked hesitantly.
"Then we have to wait until we leave alive. By the way, you have seen Mr. Jack Swan in your travel diary. Have you known him for a long time?"
"We know each other, but we're not that familiar. We've chatted twice, that's all."
"Jack Swan is Dimitri's good friend. Are there any other members of the Howard family involved in your travels?"
"I don't know." Tsuburaya Terakura shook his head, "I'm just a writer, and I'm not an insider of the Howard Consortium. I don't know what's going on within them at all."
"Okay, then Mr. Tsuburaya Temple Sora, the third suggestion is to stop all random thoughts, cut off your inspirations, and except for trying to objectively record what happened on the island, don't write anything, even if there is something you can't understand. When something happens, just pretend you can’t see it.”
The writer scratched his cheek, sighed and agreed.

In the viewing hall, Dimitri and Yu Guiting finally found the mechanism to open the attic after some groping.
"Mr. Yu, it's exactly what you said."
"Dumen is a hidden location, so there must be a hiding place in the viewing hall. Rennix is very concerned about these details." Yu Guiting sighed, "Shall we go up and take a look?"
"No." Dimitri looked around cautiously, "It's not very safe on the island now. Please wait a moment."
He walked back to his bedroom, and after a moment returned to the foot of the ladder with a lute.
"What are you..."
"Mr. Yu, I trust you. You go up and move everything down there. We'll watch from below." Dimitri plucked the strings. "I'll be guarding below to prevent anyone from coming." Attack us."
"Sneak attack? Well, it's better to be more prepared..." Yu Guiting said, climbing up to the attic.
Dimitri pulled up a chair and sat down, began to play the lute, and began to sing a low-pitched song. The sound of the music was not loud, but it began to penetrate and extend around the surroundings. The sound seemed to have turned into a tangible thing, wrapping around everything it came into contact with.
After a moment, Dimitri suddenly stood up.
"Felicia!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the viewing hall was opened, and Felicia and Superbia stood outside the door.
"Dimitri, aren't we welcome? I thought you sang this song for us." Felicia smiled.
"You're following me," Dimitri said grimly.
"Following? We have clearly agreed on cooperation, but you turned around and forgot about it. This is not a good businessman." Felicia looked inside the house. She must have seen the ladder, but she deliberately did not say it.
Dimitri doesn't like Felicia.
In his view, Felicia was a very philistine person who would do whatever it took to expand her business empire. The number of small companies she had driven to death was countless, and Felicia had no regrets for this.
"You still came after me, no, you... used magic."
"As if you are useless? Dimitri." Felicia crossed her arms, "I stress again, we are cooperating, your hostility seems obvious."
"Nonsense, someone killed Linewood and Jack." Dimitri snorted coldly, "I don't know what the accomplishments of that girl Mayuri Shirota are, but there is definitely something wrong with the deaths of Linewood and Jack. cause trouble."
"Are you still doubting Milia? Oh, no, you doubt all people with superpowers." Felicia nodded, "And you can't judge who has superpowers, haha, so you reject everyone? This This decision is really stupid, Dimitri, are you lazier than I thought, and you can't even use your brain to think carefully about such a life-threatening matter?"
At this time, Yu Guiting shouted from above: "Dimitri! Pick up the thing!"
Dimitri didn't look up and just said: "I'm down there."
"Do you need help? We are here with sincerity." Felicia said seriously, "Subobia is the best person I have found. You should understand how picky I am in choosing my partner. With us With help, you don’t have to be so afraid all the time, Patriarch.”
A small cardboard box was thrown down from above. Amid a clear melody, the cardboard box's falling speed slowed down and landed gently on the ground. Dimitri put his hand on the box, opened the lid, and took out a folder from inside.
"Felicia, I don't have the same talent as you. I have to be wary of people like you... I have seen some cases that describe how your business rivals were driven to death step by step by you. . And their failure may have started from a simple cooperation."
"I admit that I have done some things that are inconsistent with your ideas, but that has nothing to do with now. Ah, I understand, you are the acting head of the family, and you are worried that I am thinking of ways to take the position of the acting head of the family from you. Grab it, and the only way to grab it is to kill you. But Dimitri, why should I calculate the position of an 'agent'? From the beginning, our goal should be the inheritance. That is safe, no An unexpected inheritance.”
Felicia nodded her eyes: "You must need me, Dimitri. You need to check these evidences, but your magical attainments are not as good as my father. And although I am not good at so many magics, I can The faction I specialize in is Appraiser."
Dimitri opened the folder in his hand, pulled out several rosters, and looked through them.
Yu Guiting was still rummaging in the attic, and he should have found some more.
Make decisions early.
"On the night of the family dinner, all the servants were killed. This was a premeditated murder. The servants may know something, or they may be our enemies who were specially reminded by father, but we have no way of knowing - -However."
He threw a roster to Felicia.
"What is the purpose of my father hiding the servant list where I live?"
Felicia opened the roster, and Iris's name was at the first one.
"Kate Howard...ha, is it a coincidence, or is this really her father's illegitimate daughter?" Felicia smiled.
"Since she is here, it is not an accident." Dimitri said, "Kate Howard, who has been funded by the Howard Foundation since she was thirteen years old. Her parents are both workers and died in a mechanical accident. Is this record true or false? ?”
Felicia shook the roster in her hand, and the butterfly pattern on her collar quietly dissipated, and then her eyes were covered with a layer of water.
"Fake."
Dimitri snorted, and Yu Guiting also shouted: "False? Then what's the point of looking for these things?"
"Mr. Yu, don't worry." Dimitri waved his hand and continued to ask Felicia, "What is that really?"
"Kate Howard is her real name. What is recorded here is not Kate's resume, but her etheric attributes."
"What?" Dimitri frowned.
Everyone has a little bit of the ether attribute, but it's meaningless. Because learning magic does not require the corresponding ether attributes, as mentioned before - when magicians use magic, they usually use the ether free in the air, or try to accumulate ether.
So what exactly is the use of a person’s etheric attributes? With Dimitri's knowledge of magic, he only knows one - refining.
"Degeneration, mutation, and addiction." Felicia said the above record. "It is very consistent with my father's style. He just writes down useful things without any cause or effect."
"Because the cause and effect are all in his head!" Dimitri punched the wall, "Iris... ha, where are the others?"
"Don't worry." Felicia turned the page, "Next is...Jasmine, whose real name is Gabriel Stanley...not Howard. Aether attributes, polarity, pain, despair."
"Hey, hey, hey, none of this sounds good!" Yu Guiting shouted from above.
"Bayleaf, whose real name is Selby Crowe, has the attributes of blindness, war, and prison."
Having said this, Felicia was suddenly stunned for a moment.
"Chloe?" Dimitri also frowned and looked at Felicia, "Are you sure it's Chloe?"
"Is there anything wrong with this last name? Felicia?" Subobia asked with concern.
"Among our brothers and sisters, only Dimitri and I changed our surnames to Howard, while the rest kept their original names. My father didn't care about this." Felicia lightly touched the word on the paper with her fingers. "And Chloe..."
"Cynthia Chloe," Dimitri said. "I almost forgot her last name."
