Moreover, the gem was originally on the armor, so it was considered one piece. Letting Gray move away was just condensing the evil spirits distributed in the armor into the gem.
Although Celine is young, she also knows that this situation is probably the best outcome. The other party was so powerful that she had no choice.
Reluctantly patting the tall Headless Horseman, she whispered: "Gray, this is the only thing we can do, isn't it?"
As the armor trembled slightly, a sinister force that ordinary people couldn't see quickly peeled off from the armor, seeped out, hovered in the air, and rushed towards the gem in Rena's hand.
In less than a minute, Vivian was surprised to find that the clear gem in Reina's hand quickly turned into a rich dark green.
Just by looking at it, she had the illusion that her soul was being pulled in. She couldn't help but quickly avert her gaze, and took a few steps back with lingering fear.
"Look, isn't this a perfect solution?"
Reina threw the gem to Celine casually, and her sarcastic gaze fell on Yan Wan's face: "You self-righteous guy, don't think about using violence to solve everything."
"Haha." Yan Wan smiled nonchalantly and stood aside without saying anything.
Vivian said weakly: "Lady Reina, are our assessment tasks completed?"
"Barely finished." Reina rolled her eyes at Yan Wan angrily, took Celine's hand and turned around to leave. "You still need to go with Sharp, so I'll leave first."
The corner of Yan Wang's mouth curled up slightly: "Okay, I wish you a safe journey."
The moment the two sides left at the same time...
Reina's tense cold face softened instantly and was replaced by a fox-like smile. She subconsciously tightened her hand holding Celine's hand, as if... she was grasping Yan Wan's weakness.
"Sure enough, Thor is right, you are a slippery guy."
She lowered her head, looked at the well-behaved little girl, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "He acted like this on purpose to let Celine and Gray survive. He is really a cold-faced guy with a warm heart."
Although she disdains Yan Wang's way of doing things, it doesn't mean that she is a fool.
Before, Yan Wang went out of his way to increase his business and never refrained from killing people. It was nothing more than forcing Reina to show up and hand Celine over to her, a high-level exorcist.
Only she has the strength to settle Celine down properly. And ensure Celine's personal safety.

Yan Wan took the time to light up his cigarette, and the corner of his mouth that was holding the cigarette curled up in an almost invisible arc: "I've given you my weakness, Exorcist Guild, don't let me down."
Regarding this drama, he has been struggling with a problem before.
That is how to integrate into the Exorcist Guild without appearing obtrusive, and how to do something later without arousing suspicion from others.
Like Zhao Xing?
Pretend to be an ordinary person, and then slowly look for opportunities to climb up?
Thinking of this, Yan Huan had already rejected this method. It takes too long, relies too much on chance, and requires caution to avoid suspicion.
The most important thing is that he does not have the kind of external support like Nie Yuanfang to help him create opportunities.
Since the conventional route doesn't work, then take a deviant approach.
This time Yan Wan wants to be a prickly, unruly, selfish exorcist. But beneath his cold exterior, there is a hint of kindness.
It turned out that he was trying to 'create' this kind point. Unexpectedly, the appearance of Celine really saved a lot of trouble.
Vivian pursed her lips and said, "Hey, aren't you going back?"
She discovered that the direction Yan Wan was walking was not outside the forest, but towards the castle not far away.
"When you come here, you have to go in and take a look, right? You might find something else, right?" Yan Huan waved his hand without looking back: "You can go back first, I'll take a look and then leave."
Vivian stamped her feet and quickly followed: "Wait, wait a minute, I'll go too."
"Are you afraid?" Yan Huan glanced at her and joked: "A dignified exorcist, isn't he afraid of the dark?"
Vivian raised her slender neck and hummed, "No, I'm just worried about your safety. We are partners after all."
Now she could vaguely see some signs. What Yan Wan did before seemed to be to deliberately let Reina come out to deal with Celine's affairs, instead of really wanting to kill Celine as shown.
Thinking of this, Vivian felt much less dissatisfied with him.
"Ha" Yan smiled wildly.
He was so stubborn that he didn't bother to refute. He just looked at the castle gate with a dignified look in his eyes, especially the incomplete copper carvings on the gate, which gave him an unprecedented impact.
He touched the uneven door and asked softly: "Can you see the meaning of this pattern?"
Vivian came up and looked at it carefully for a while, then hesitantly said: "It seems that there is a demon invasion, and the owner of this castle led an army to resist. Look at the picture on the left... it should be a balrog."
"So, the owner of the castle, looking for Shuyuan www.zhaｏshuyuan.com should be very powerful."
Yan Huan grabbed her shoulders, pulled Vivian back, and kicked her out with a sudden force. The heavy copper-skinned wooden door burst open immediately.
The dust was flying, and a rotten smell hit my face.
After the dust dissipated, the two of them walked in quietly.
Creak, creak...
On the ground was a layer of broken tables and chairs that had long since rotted, making squeaking sounds when stepped on. On the surrounding walls, there are faint traces of things that were once hung on them.
There were even a few yellowed bones piled in the corner of the wall, stained with smelly blood cloth.
I don’t know what stuff is worth stealing in such a shabby place. Yan Wan couldn't understand even more what Xilin was doing here.
"Look at that." Vivian's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over, endured the unpleasant smell, and pulled apart the rags on the ground, revealing a tattered picture frame underneath.
Although the picture has faded, it can still be roughly seen that the content is about a knight holding a big sword, riding a war horse, charging towards the legions of hell in the distance.
It's just that the knight's red cloak had become rotten due to the cracked frame and being pressed by the soaked blanket for so long, making the whole painting a mess. This also made it impossible for them to see the knight's face clearly. appearance.
"It feels familiar." Yan Wan couldn't help but squat down, staring at the sword in the knight's hand, his eyebrows twisted into a knot.
Suddenly, he suddenly understood and remembered the incident where he had gone to Uncle Rego's house to get rid of ghosts. That painting... is very similar to this one. Are they related in any way?
Or is the knight in the painting actually the owner of this castle?
"what?"
Suddenly, Yan Wang raised his head, pulled out the gun with one hand, and immediately pulled the trigger.
