When Norman woke up, the first thing he saw was not the familiar sky, but the cobwebbed beams.

Didn't he sleep on the side of the road?

Norman sat up strangely and took a closer look at where he was.

It was a modest room, the size of Colin's living room, and now he was lying on the outside wall, with the door at his feet, and it was the only door in the room. Obviously, the family didn't have several rooms like the Colin family, and this was the only one.

The room was empty, with not much stuff, and the few things that were left of the house were a table, a bed, and not even a chair. In addition, there were some miscellaneous items scattered around the room: a half-eaten black loaf resting on the table, a gray-white robe hanging by the window, half hanging on the bed and half hanging to the ground, and an empty wine barrel lying on the floor, some scattered strips of cloth, all stained with blood.

Other than that, there's nothing...... Well, if you don't count the cobwebs on the beams and the insect carcasses everywhere, this room is dirty, even for a man like Norman who doesn't have a very good sense of hygiene.

Oh yes, there's one more thing, it's a person.

There was a man lying on the bed, sleeping on his side, his face facing Norman's side.

It's Thomas.

This is Thomas's home?

Norman seemed to understand why Thomas often liked to sleep on the streets, and his home seemed to be no different from the streets except for rainy days.

After seeing Thomas's house, Norman slowly stood up, and it was then that he noticed something strange about himself: the blood stains in front of his eyes were gone, and after touching his head with his left hand, he found that his head was wrapped in a strip of cloth, and his right hand was no longer dangling at his side, but was tied and fixed with two wooden sticks, straight like a wooden stick.

This made Norman look at Thomas, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Obviously, these are all done by Thomas.

He didn't expect this old drunkard to have such a skill, but his behavior was a little strange: he could understand that he was tied with a strip of cloth on his head, it was to plug the blood, but what was the purpose of tying his right hand with a wooden stick?

After thinking about it for a long time, Norman couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, and asked softly, "Is there anyone?"

His voice is very soft, only he can hear it, this is afraid that others will hear it, and even more afraid that others will know that there is a group of mages living in his body, after all, it is too strange for a person's body to live a group of mages, and he will be dragged by someone from the Father God to be tied to the stake and burned to death.

And with Norman's voice, someone immediately responded, "Yes, number thirteen is at your service." ”

This is a man of the Knights Templar.

The work of the Knights Templar revolved around the Normans, and although the organization was small, it had a strict organizational structure and division of labor. Usually, when Norman is resting, it is usually the grassroots personnel who are on duty, and in order to facilitate Norman's memory, these grassroots personnel do not use their names, but use numerical codes, such as this number thirteen.

Norman asked again, "What happened last night?"

There was so much going on last night, and he had so much to understand.

"Who the hell is that little girl, what does that old saying she mean to me, did the spell you taught me work, what is that glowing birdman?......

Although Number Thirteen was only a junior member, he was able to answer Norman's questions based on the data analysis reports compiled by the Knights Templar who had worked all night, according to the script.

"According to our analysis of all relevant data, it is possible that the little girl is not a person, and as for her specific identity, we cannot make an accurate judgment because of insufficient information. What she said to you is what we call 'classical Chinese', which is an ancient rule of use of ancient languages, and she may belong to a group that uses classical Chinese as the language of communication, and we cannot accurately judge whether this group is a human race or not. And the specific meaning of her phrase, 'Who are you?' is, 'Who are you?'......"

Listening to the report of number thirteen, Norman had a more complete picture of what had happened last night.

As he thought, the Knights Templar also believed that his spell had not been unsuccessful, as could be deduced from the timing.

Someone else is the one who casts the spell.

Basically, it can be concluded that the mysterious little girl launched the spell, and the glowing birdman should be the spell launched by the little girl, and the name "Heavenly Gaze", which came out of the young man's mouth, should be the spell name of the birdman's spell, as for why the little girl launched a spell to save Norman's life, it is likely because of the poem Norman recited.

The poem is also in Chinese, which may have made the little girl mistakenly think that Norman was from her own clan, so she came to the rescue, but after saving her, she realized that it was not, so she quietly left.

In addition, the Knights Templar provided some information that Norman did not know, such as the fact that while he was thinking about it, the mysterious little girl actually called him "Daddy"!

When Norman heard this, he was confused: when did he have a daughter, why didn't he know himself, who was the daughter's mother?...... In the end, Number Thirteen explained to him that the little girl might have seen Norman remember that her father was coming, and that it was not really his daughter, and Norman realized it, but he was even more sad.

The little girl is twelve or thirteen years old, so her father must be thirty or forty, so that she can recognize herself as her father......

Do you look this old?

I'm only eighteen, and I'm still a teenager!

Although the Templars did not have much information about this little girl who was full of mysteries, and the Templars did not have much information, but in other respects, the Templars' ability to analyze information was still strong, such as the young man.

"While he hasn't said anything about the factions within the Father's Cult, the how, where, and when he wants to kill you has revealed enough information on its own. The Church of the Fathers is powerful enough to justifiably want you, but instead of doing so, they have a member assassinate you in a sneak attack on the dark streets in the middle of the night, which shows that the Church of the Fathers of Cardenas is not monolithic, and they are likely to split into two factions when it comes to dealing with you, one we call the support, your friendly faction, and the other we call the opposition, your hostile faction......"

"The supporters should be dominated by saints, and they are likely to take a passive and inactive attitude towards you, while the opposition is dominated by a high-ranking figure we don't know, and the supporters are obviously much more positive in their approach to you. And the young man last night should be a member of the opposition, but definitely not the main messenger of the 27th Street assassination, of course, we will list all the possibilities, including the possibility that the young man acted without authorization, but combined with our character modeling of the young man to match and analyze, this possibility is very small......"

Number 13 narrated the analysis report compiled by his colleagues who had worked all night long, and presented Norman with the current internal situation of the Cárdenas Father God Cult and the ins and outs of last night's assassination, and then reported the consequences of the incident, giving Norman a reassurance.

“...... With the power of the Church of the Father, the news of your assassination is believed to have reached the ears of the supporters, and the supporters, although they have always been negative, believe that they will take measures this time, which can be seen from the careful handling of the opposition, so you don't have to worry about your safety in Cardenas for the time being, and you don't have to worry that the people of the Father God will continue to send people to assassinate you. Based on the analysis of several of my colleagues, the chances of you being assassinated a second time before the entrance exams are almost nil......"

Fortunately, the young man couldn't hear this, otherwise if he knew that one of his failed actions would expose so much information inside the envoys, I am afraid that his intestines would be repentant.

And after listening to the report of number thirteen, Norman was finally relieved.

It seems that he is safe for the time being.

After a moment of relief, he remembered what had just happened, and his eyes glanced at his right arm.

Why did Thomas tie his right arm into a stick?
