In Hilston, Detective Issinger Stanton is reading a copy of Stormstorm Cottage borrowed from a student at the end of a day's work.

When he read about the appearance of an evil spirit wearing copper-rimmed glasses, he couldn't help but smile and wanted to get acquainted with Miss Hugh's friend.

But at this moment, his spirituality was suddenly touched.

Detective Issinger frowned, put down the novel, and turned on the vision as he put "2-081" on his finger.

Then he saw a silvery-white illusory bird drop on the table in front of him with a letter in its mouth.

The bird was the size of a sparrow, with a walnut-sized head embedded in a pair of eyes like a red moon, and its silvery-white illusory feathers made it look extremely slender and not as bloated as a sparrow.

At this moment, the little bird tilted its head to look at its surroundings after putting down the letter, and then it shook its wings as if disappointed, and flew into the void and disappeared.

"The Messenger? Whose? "The well-informed Detective Isenger already understands what the spirit creature is here to do.

He glanced at the envelope on the table, and instead of picking it up, he rubbed the gem on the surface of "2-081" and used it to parse the envelope.

After a few moments, Detective Issinger, who didn't notice any problems, carefully picked up the envelope, and then saw that the recipient's name was written on it.

A letter to Abner? How did it get to me?

Detective Isenger was a little puzzled, and the average messenger could accurately find the recipient, unless the recipient's breath was not recorded.

……

At the Harvest Chapel, Bishop Utravsky is telling the three "desolates" about the previous ambush, the perfume incident, and Abner's speculation about the witch's ascension ceremony.

At this moment, the black-haired and red-eyed Cullen's heart moved, and he stretched out his palm forward. Immediately after, a silvery-white illusory bird landed on his fingers, which were as white and tender as a girl.

The bird shook its wings, then turned its little head to Cullen and chirped.

Cullen listened intently for a moment, chuckled, petted its head, and took out a little powder made from the ground spiritual material and fed it to its mouth.

"What is it talking about?" Judy, the brown-haired girl on the side, asked curiously.

"She's complaining that the recipient is stingy and refuses to give the hard-working messenger a supper." Cullen smiled and translated for the bird.

"I really envy you, you actually domesticated the spirit creatures directly...... I still don't dare to attempt the ritual of summoning the messenger lightly. "Judy clearly has a good relationship with Cullen and doesn't hide her envy at all.

"Celica wasn't a spirit creature from the beginning, she was transformed into a necromancer during a crisis more than five hundred years ago, and this gave her the ability to travel through the spirit world." Cullen's eyes were deep, as if he remembered a not-so-rosy old day.

However, he quickly came back to his senses and said to the two "giants" who had finished talking and were looking at him:

"That Mr. Abner Blaine is not in the detective agency at the moment, and the letter has been forwarded to his teacher."

The captain of the "Giant" nodded and said to his two team members: "Since Mr. Bryan can't arrive for a while, then we will conduct an early reconnaissance while it is still dawn." ”

"Yes, Captain." The two team members first answered in unison, and then Judy, who was more lively, asked with some concern: "Captain, where do we go to investigate first?" We don't know each other well at all, Beckland...... Is it true that you can't get lost without a guide? ”

Captain "Giant" carried a wooden box much larger than a normal coffin, and first nodded to Bishop Utravsky, and then said to Judy: "Since the perfume of heresy was first found in the house of the misguided believer, let's go there and check on the situation first." At this point, he looked at Cullen, who was still teasing the silver-feathered bird, and continued, "As for the guide, I remember Cullen saying that he had lived in Beckland for a long time, so let him lead the way. ”

Hearing this, Karen, who was chatting with the bird Celica, suddenly raised his head and said with a surprised face:

"Captain, are you serious? You know, the last time I was in Beckland, Russell the Great had just invented the steam engine! ”

……

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Abner gave Hugh several drawings of the factory he had drawn, and then agreed with her the time and place of the next meeting, and then dragged his tired body back to the teacher's office.

As soon as he walked into the lobby on the first floor, Abner found Detective Issinger sitting on the couch reading a book.

At this time, the teacher has already rested...... Is this waiting for me?

Abner thought so to himself, and asked so.

Detective Issinger put down the book, picked up an envelope from the coffee table next to him, handed it to him, and said, "Here's a letter from you." ”

"Letter? Who sent it? Jane? Abner took the letter and guessed. With the exception of Jane, he had few friends in the field, only Mr. Gaston, Miss Gwynn, and Edith were more acquainted, but it was unlikely that they would write to him.

"Probably not, this letter was sent by the 'messenger', and that Miss Jane has not long become an extraordinary person, I'm afraid she can't drive the 'messenger'." Detective Issinger lit his pipe, took a puff, and said.

"'The Messenger'?" Abner's hand holding the envelope was immediately paused.

"Don't worry, I've checked it, and there are no traps or curses on this letter." Detective Issinger guessed the student's thoughts and said with a smile.

Abner breathed a sigh of relief, but quietly opened the pure white eye and analyzed it before opening the envelope.

The letter was in the handwriting of Bishop Utravsky, and the general content was to tell him that the "Desolate" had arrived and that he should come to the Harvest Church as soon as possible.

Abner looked at it a few times, didn't notice anything wrong, and decided to go to the Harvest Church early tomorrow morning.

Raising his head and seeing the teacher's curious and inquiring gaze, Abner thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide, after all, he had also told the teacher about sending a dangerous object to the Mother Earth God Church, so he considered the wording and said:

"It was from Bishop Utravsky of Harvest Church, and he wanted me to come over tomorrow."

Detective Isenger nodded when he heard this, and then said to himself with some confusion: "When did that giant bishop have the ability to summon the 'messenger'?" People in the 'Warrior' path shouldn't be good at this...... Even the bishop of the Urals, who had served before him as a 'cultivator', had no 'messenger'. ”

Abner was a little surprised when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Teacher, do you still know the former bishop of the Mother Earth God Church in Beckland?" "This has a wide range of friends, except for the Storm Church, all of which are your friends?

Detective Isenger took a puff on his cigarette with a smile on his face, and said with pride on his face, "Of course I know, otherwise where do you think the healing power in '2-081' comes from?" ”

……

On Saturday morning, after making a few short-acting charms in a ceremony, Abner immediately took the subway to the Harvest Church on Yuejihua Street in the south district of the bridge.

As soon as he stepped into the hall of the golden church, he saw a girl in a blue dress complaining in Fenerport to the feminine man beside her:

"Karen, if there wasn't Celica to lead us last night, I'm afraid we would all have lost our way to St. Samuel's Church and be imprisoned underground by the night watch."

"No, Judy. Even without Celica, I ...... I'll also do divination......" Cullen replied in a less confident tone.

Since Fenerport and Rune are cognate with only individual words and grammatical differences, Abner could barely understand what they were saying.

However, in order to facilitate communication, he still quietly recited the "Blue Star" in the ancient Hermetian language, which inspired the 'Fluent Language' charm that he had just made.

Seeing Abner come in, Bishop Utravsky, with sparse eyebrows, light blue eyes, and a few obvious wrinkles, stood up, nodded at him, and smiled: "Child, you came just in time. A few of the 'Desolates' also happened to return. ”

Just back...... Combined with the girl's words, Abner was sure that they had gone out to scout the night before, though the operation might not have been too successful......

"This is Mr. Abner Blaine, a well-known private investigator and the first evidence he found that Leonardo was a heretic." Bishop Utravsky first introduced Abner to the three "desolates", then pointed to the girl who had just complained, and said to Abner:

"This is Judy Loretto, the 'biologist' of Sequence 6."

Abner was a little surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself: Generally speaking, isn't it good to say a name when you first meet? Why do you even tell me the sequence...... Are you so relieved of me?

On the other side, Judy, a girl with long brown hair, saw that Abner had a different face, but she would be mistaken, she was a self-acquaintance, so she explained with a smile: "Is it scared to see me at such a young age in Sequence 6?" Actually, it's nothing, because my parents are both saints of the church, and I was born as a 'harvest sacrifice' in Sequence 7, and it took me eighteen years to only advance to 'biologist', and I think it's slow."

When it comes to her parents, she is not taboo at all, and she doesn't seem to think there is anything about it.

No, ma'am, I'm not intimidated by this. After all, there is a precedent for Klein to be a god for a year and a half, and you can only be considered average.

Abner complained in his heart and said hello to Lady Judy briefly. Then Bishop Utravsky pointed to a black-haired and red-eyed, handsome but lackluster man beside Judy and said, "This is Karen Tia, the Viscount of the Bloods, the 'Crimson Scholar' of Sequence 5." ”

Bloodline ...... I don't know if he has any information about the "Elder Tree", so ask when you get acquainted with it......

Suffering from not finding a suitable doll, Abner had no excuse to contact Emlyn at this time, and felt that maybe he could reach out to the treasure of the blood clan through this viscount...... No, it's a friendly bond with the Bloodline.
