Chapter 114: The Feast of Blood (7/7)
Bridge South District, Harvest Church.
Abner and the witch "Lina" simply set up contact information and quickly evacuated the factory. Then he relied on the "Underwater Breathing" charm, jumped directly into the Tasok River, and drifted down the river to the eastern suburbs outside the St. George district, and then went ashore to the nearest metro station, where he took the subway to the southern area of the bridge.
As for the commission to investigate Alex? He had almost guessed the whole story of the matter from what he had overheard before, and he only had to wait for a deal with the witch to ask her for confirmation.
The church was still deserted, and even Roman, who lived here temporarily, was not in the front hall, where only two giants were praying devoutly to the emblem of Mother Earth.
After listening to Abner's account of what happened to the factory in St. George's district, Captain Lech Arsenov frowned and asked Bishop Utravsky, who was beside him:
"Do you know where Talim Dumont comes from?"
Bishop Utravsky pondered for a while, and replied with some hesitation: "It seems that he is an equestrian instructor from a declining aristocratic family. β
"Equestrian Instructor...... So which big man does he work for? Captain Arsenoff asked again.
Bishop Utravsky shook his head and said he didn't know.
At this point, Abner interjected:
"This equestrian coach had previously approached me and blocked my malicious investigation of a housekeeper's assistant...... Due to his lax tone, it was revealed that he was working for a prince during this period. β
"Prince? A malicious investigation into a housekeeper's assistant? Hehe, I'm guessing you're talking about His Royal Highness Prince Edsak. Bishop Utravsky said with a smile when he heard this.
"Father, you also care about the political news of the kingdom?" Abner was amazed, he had always thought that this Lilith Divine Servant was only thinking about prayer and developing believers.
"Although I have been in Rune for a relatively short time, there are still some family members of the upper nobles who have converted to the Mother Goddess." Bishop Utrawski replied in a gentle tone.
Captain Arsenov said with some regret: "If there is a prince who protects the witch, then we can't take the most direct and effective action." β
It is worthy of the extraordinary person of the Dusk Giant's path, and his mind is full of direct recklessness! After secretly complaining, Abner asked the captain of the giant, "What do you think about the witch's trade request?" β
"I agree in principle...... Once you've agreed on a meeting place, let Judy go with you. Hehe, if she can't cure the problem of that witch, then I'm afraid only the Sage himself will be able to do it. Captain Arsenov thought for a moment and said.
At this time, Viscount Karen of the Bloods came out of the room at the back of the church, and after greeting the three of them, he handed Abner a rubbed book, and said with a smile:
"The matter of the Elder Tree has not yet borne fruit...... But the payment paid to you in advance was received, and it was a occult book from one of the dukes of our Bloodline, The Feast of Blood. There are a lot of interesting rituals, magic, and mystical stories recorded in it...... Of course, it's only the top half that you're given. β
Abner happily took the book, but the first thought in his mind was...... The prop that arranged for Hugh to recite Mr. Fool's honorable name is online.

Tingen, townhouse at Daffodil StraΓe 2, inside the restaurant of Moretti's family.
Looking at the plate with only a shallow soup base left, Benson raised his hand to cover his mouth and burped in satisfaction.
"Klein, your cooking skills seem to have made great progress, I feel that the sweet and sour taste of the tomatoes and the elastic flesh of the oxtail and the very special umami taste are perfectly blended, and the taste is even better than what you made last time! Klein, I've said this once, but I'd like to reiterate: it's a shame that Blackthorn Security has deprived the city of Tingen a brilliant chef. β
Melissa hugged her swollen stomach and nodded silently.
"It's just because you haven't seen real cooking." While Klein was humble and polite to his brother and sister, he thought differently inside: Maybe I can ask "Tower" and "Justice" to sacrifice some of Beckland's delicacies to me in the future...... Well, the "Hanged Man" has been at sea all year round and has been to more places, and the special food on the islands of Baiam, Passu, and Nas is also said to be very good, so what excuse should I think of for them to sacrifice to me?
However, even if you sacrifice it to me, you have to become a "clown" to take it down...... There's no way I'm going to spend Β£10 on a meal of food for a 'giving' ceremony......
Melissa saw her brother wandering and thought he was thinking about the food in the restaurant, so she immediately said, "I like what you make better." β
Benson smiled and said, "Melissa, I heard that a senior teacher from Beckland recently came to your technical school?" β
"Yes, that guy's name is Copsti Ryder, and he teaches Gufsak, and he is very popular with some of his classmates, but I don't like him very much......" Melissa whispered, looking a little depressed.
"What happened?" The two brothers noticed that something was wrong with Melissa at the same time and asked with concern.
"Nothing...... It's just that I don't quite agree with some of his ideas, and I ended up arguing with his fans......" Melissa whispered. One of the people who quarreled with her was still her former friend, which was the main reason for her unhappiness.
Klein pinched his eyebrows, quietly turned on his spiritual vision, looked at his sister's aura color, and found that there was no problem, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Benson said with a serious expression: "I heard that this senior teacher came to Tingen after being complained about in Beckland, and it seems that he still needs a righteous complaint here...... It's better to return to Beckland. β
"I can help in this matter, and as you know, the Black Thorn Security Company has a certain relationship with the police department." Crane nodded in agreement.
"You ...... You don't have to do that. Melissa saw that the two brothers invariably expressed their concern for themselves in this way, and the depression in her heart dissipated, and she only felt warm all over.
β¦β¦
Inside the rented house in Ebner on the eastern side of Beckland.
Hugh watched his friend take out the Solomon Empire gold coin with some embarrassment, and his face turned pale for no reason.
However, after pursing her lips, she still dripped her blood on the front of the gold coin.
Looking at the gold coins that only needed one drop to satisfy the susceptibility of no longer absorbing, Hugh breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the gold coin was sealed again, Abner took out another book with the words "Feast of Blood" written on the cover and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Your occult knowledge has always been lacking, so I specially brought this book to you...... This book was written by a duke of the Bloodline, and every sentence in it is worth scrutinizing......"
