There was a girl with short silver hair and ruby red eyes standing in front of the window
Ner was looking at the whirlwind that was forming above the Ford family mansion
She was shocked when she heard the news broadcast on all the news channels
All channels were publishing the same news
Ghosts attack Cairn City
No one took this news seriously at first
People were even making fun of this news on social media
But after the videos that spread about these strange creatures that appeared in the city, in addition to the strange phenomena that occurred, such as flying tools and cold winds that blew through the city, everyone was forced to believe this fact.
The city administration published a statement. 'The city is being invaded by unknown creatures, in addition to abnormal changes occurring in the atmosphere. Therefore, we call on all citizens to stay in their homes and not open windows and doors..'
Officials did not provide further information
This is probably because they don't know what's going on either
Suddenly snow began to fall over the Ford family mansion
News channels turned their attention to that place
Why does snow only fall over the Ford family mansion?
Some reporters tried to enter that area, but they were unable to approach the palace
It seems that there was a strong snow storm that prevented vehicles from moving and almost completely blocked the view
Some sources leaked information to the media
It seems that all communication with the Ford family mansion has been cut off
Police forces attempted to contact Ford family mansion officials but received no response
It turned out that the head of the Ford family was in the capital
All those present in the palace are Alexander Ford and some servants
What happened there?
Why was no one able to communicate with the people inside the palace?
An army of reporters gathered around the Ford family mansion so they could get some information if the storm stopped
But the reporters were soon removed from that place by the police
Reporters said they heard strange noises coming from the direction of the palace
Sounds like torture screams
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
This increased the curiosity of others
The empire has been at peace for a long time, and there is no exciting news to attract viewers' attention
There has been some big news recently like the appearance of the Chosen Ones
But the news of the presence of ghosts in Cairn City was more interesting for viewers
The Chosen Ones have appeared several times according to historical records
But this is the first time people have seen something like ghosts
This made TV channels views jump to their highest levels
While the people of Cairn City were living in terror, the heads of TV channels were making fortunes while laughing happily
"....." Ner looked at the snow falling several kilometers away
Despite the great distance, she could see the power of this blizzard
She was happy that her family was safe inside the church
But soon she became worried
Is Alexander okay?
She remembered the strange young man she had met in the forest
He was different from the stereotype of arrogant nobles
He was calm and kind
But she has to admit, he's a bit weirdo
Even though he is a rich person, he steals from others under the pretext of training
Their relationship was not strong
But Alexander left a deep impression on her mind
'You are my first friend..'
Ner remembered Alexander's excited face when he said those words
Her eyes were fixed on the palace sadly
| Is there a problem?..|. An ethereal feminine voice rang in Ner's mind
'My friend lives in that palace.' Ner responded through telepathy
| I have never seen such a phenomenon before, but I can confirm that there is a strange force emanating from that place. It may be that force that attracts these spirits..|.
'Themas, can we do something?' Ner wanted to find out if she could get into that place and save Alexander
| That place is surrounded by many powerful spirits, even if you use the power of purification, you will not be able to defeat them all..|. Themas responded indifferently
Ner remained silent

"What the hell did I do?" Elliot sat in his room, holding his head
All Elliot wanted was to get closer to Maria. How it turned into a case about the city being invaded by ghosts
He saw the news broadcasts and the strange phenomena that occurred at the Ford family mansion
Everyone was wondering what was happening
Elliot may be the only one who knows the truth
Because he is directly involved in this issue
He was reluctant to tell Theodore about the creation of these strange materials that Alexander had requested
But now he was determined to keep this matter secret, no matter what the cost
If someone finds out that he is involved in this case, his life will be in danger
Even if Theodore does not punish him, the emperor will punish him for disturbing the security of the empire, and it is not unlikely that the church will accuse him of heresy and hang him.
Elliot shuddered when he came to this thought
How long is this secret supposed to be kept secret?
Someone might find out about this, or Ben might report him to the authorities
Elliot began to think again about asking Theodore for help
What should he tell him in this case?
'Mr. Theodore, I helped your son purchase materials to perform a ritual to summon a Demon Lord.
But I realized what I did was wrong so I came here to apologise.'
Even Elliot would not be able to blame Theodore if he beheaded him out of anger
"Argh..". if Maria were here she would easily find a solution to this problem
--------------------
I succeeded in preparing the potion
The potion container was filled with a glowing blue liquid
I took out a set of bottles on which were engraved some seals to suppress spiritual energy
After I finished putting the spiritual potion into three bottles, I took one of them and drank the blue liquid
The potion is inside my body, but I need some time to absorb it completely
And here comes my favorite part
During the process of absorbing the potion, I must make my body relaxed and my soul calm, and this is done through sleep
Sigh, sleep to increase my strength
Is there anything better than that?
But before that, you must solve the problem of these damned ghosts
The talismans were preventing ghosts from entering the room, but...what about the rest of the palace?
Suddenly, the talismans pasted on the door began to glow intensely and then turned to ash
Cliik
The door opened quietly with a shuddering creak
I wasn't afraid of what was happening. On the contrary, I was enjoying myself and felt as if I was inside a horror movie
I placed the two potion bottles on a nearby table and grabbed the talismans I had prepared in reserve
I waited for that ghost to seal it
But I saw a teddy bear's head sticking out of the door
The teddy bear looked around, then entered the room and closed the door behind him
What a polite ghost
--------------------
The teddy bear stood in front of Alexander
Despite the strong aura emanating from the doll, Alexander was smiling cheerfully
The teddy bear looked strong, but in Alexander's eyes, the teddy bear was nothing more than a paper tiger
This is just a weak spirit that has retained some of its spirituality, but is much weaker than an ordinary warrior
All this spirit has is some aura and killing intent that can affect people with weak will and fragile spirit
The doll jumped towards the potion quickly, not caring about Alexander
Before the doll's hand could reach the bottle, a hand grabbed the teddy bear
"You naughty doll, I think I should punish you.."
The doll tried to break free from Alexander's grip, but failed
Alexander glued the talisman on the doll's back, which made the doll calm down
Alexander made this talisman from the blood of monsters, so its effect was stronger than the talismans that were made from the blood of chickens.
The talismans plastered on the wall stopped glowing
Since he transferred the potion to the bottles that had spiritual energy seals engraved on them, the potion's power was suppressed
So the spirits couldn't feel the spiritual potion anymore and had no reason to stay here
Alexander sighed
He picked up the potions and hid them in a secret room under his bed
Then he picked up the teddy bear and threw it in the wardrobe. "Stay here until I finish absorbing the potion.."
He closed the closet door forcefully and went to bed
"Haaah..". Alexander let out a relieved breath as he sank into the world of dreams
