The Elk Manor is built on the Tasok River, surrounded by beautiful scenery and lush flowers. Originally belonging to a viscount, it is now over a hundred years old, and Councillor Macht bought it after his marriage, and every year he spends a sum of money on major repairs so that he can invite friends over for a holiday at his leisure.

Strange to say, the city of Beckland has been rainy all year round and has few sunshine hours, but its suburbs are always thin clouds and sunny, and they are not far apart, but they present two completely different weather. The northwestern suburbs are the most pronounced and even one of the most famous wine-growing areas in the northern continent, and the weather conditions are close to the city of Beckland about 50 kilometres northwest along the Tasok River.

Meteorologists have been puzzled by similar situations and have not been able to find a suitable theory to explain why, but Abner is very clear:

Not to mention that in the Quaternary Period, it was the capital of the "Tudor-Trenthorst" United Empire, and the "Blood Emperor" Arista also forcibly jumped to the path to madness; One of the mausoleums built by George III in order to become the "Black Emperor" using the remains of the "Blood Emperor" is not far from here...... Therefore, it is normal for the weather and terrain to be permanently changed on a small scale.

The carriage drove into the Elk Manor, past the fountain pool and small garden enclosed in the middle by the main house, and stopped outside the main entrance.

As soon as Abner stepped out of the carriage, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a butler leading a manservant and a maid to meet him.

"Detective Brian, welcome. Because Bishop Utravsky has just arrived and the councillor is personally accompanying you, it is not possible to step out to meet you...... Mr. Councillor, I have asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. ”

Listening to the butler's words, Abner waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and then walked into the gate of the manor's mansion under the guidance of the other party.

As soon as he entered the house, Abner saw Bishop Utrawski, who was more than 2.20 meters tall, sitting in an apparently special chair in the hall on the first floor, talking to Councillor Macht.

In view of the bishop's height, Councillor Macht specially remodeled the hall on the first floor, and also moved some items from the living room and smoking room.

When Councillor Makht saw Abner coming, he again stepped forward to apologize before enthusiastically pulling him to the bishop's side.

Before Mr. Detective arrived, Mr. Councillor felt that he was under a lot of pressure to face the Giant Bishop.

After greeting Bishop Utrawski with great skill, Abner took the initiative to create a conversation for Councilor Makht and the Bishop for the sake of the golden pound, and gradually led the conversation to Miss Hazel.

"The last time I saw Miss Hazel at Harvest Chapel, she looked pretty good." Abner said, handing a glance to Congressman Makht.

The latter immediately understood, and took over the conversation and asked, "Hazel's temper is not always good...... She didn't get you in trouble for the Bishop, did she? ”

"Miss Hazel is a good-hearted girl, and she will cause any trouble." Bishop Giant naturally knew what he meant, and said with a smile, "She has been studying the teachings of the Mother Goddess recently. ”

Hearing this, Councillor Makht's heart jumped, but after thinking about it, his daughter's faith was not so important to him, and if his daughter could be free as long as she believed in Mother Earth God, then it would not be so difficult to accept the conversion.

With a decision in his heart, Councillor Mahet said meaningfully: "I have a few friends who have always been interested in the teachings of Mother Earth God and hope to know something......

"You can let them come to the Harvest Church, and I will arrange for the priest to explain the teachings of the Mother God to them. Of course, if Miss Hazel is learning faster, she can also be arranged to complete the work. Bishop Utravsky smiled mildly.

Are your friends including you? If you want to see your daughter, you can go directly, and you have to make it look like a secret service.

Abner could understand what they were playing, but he always felt that it was too tiring to talk like that......

Maybe politicians are like that? Moreover, Bishop Utravsky's painting style is becoming more and more like those bald heads of the Western Continent. He doesn't talk to me like that, huh?

By the time Abner was complaining in his heart, Makht had already been more and more speculative with the Giant Bishop, completely leaving Abner aside.

At this time, Lady Liana accompanied a lady in a priest's robe down from the second floor.

This lady is none other than Dalie Simone, because she was invited to come as the "bishop" of the Night Church, she did not wear strange eyeshadow and blush this time, except that her skin appeared pale, and there was no sense of bewitching at all, and she seemed to be a lot younger, from her early thirties to her twenties, with cheerful eyebrows and eyes, and clear facial features.

Mrs. Liana stepped forward to greet Abner and the Bishop before she winked at Councillor Mahert and said, "My dear, it's time for the feast, don't keep our guests waiting. ”

"Look at me, I've been talking to Mr. Bishop so speculatively that I've lost track of time." When Councilor Mahert saw his wife's eyes, he immediately understood, and said to the three guests apologetically: "Please wait a little longer, and we will go and prepare for the banquet." ”

With that, he took Lady Liana and left the living room. The Makhts apparently found out that Ms. Dali had something to say to Bishop Utravsky, and as followers of the goddess, their status and position were inconvenient to observe.

Naturally, Abner was aware of this, and he even guessed what Lady Daly wanted to say to the bishop, so he also made an excuse to "visit the manor", and pulled a servant to take him to the courtyard to have a look.

Under the playful gaze of Lady Daly, Abner walked out of the main house gate and paced to the small garden not far away.

As far as the eye can see, a modest carriage is parked next to the small garden, and the body of the carriage is painted with a dark emblem of a dark emblem that is exactly half of the crimson moon on a dark base.

The carriage of the Church of the Night? As Abner thought so, he looked forward, and then saw a familiar figure sitting in the driver's seat.

The coachman was dressed as a man in his thirties, with short-shaven blond-brown hair, dark green eyes that looked like moonless lakes in the middle of the night, and a violin-sized case in his hand.

"Your Excellency Secima?" Abner almost screamed, but considering that the other party was dressed like this because he didn't want to reveal his identity, he forcibly endured it.

His Excellency Cesima followed Dali because he was afraid that she would suffer if she clashed with Bishop Utravsky? But why didn't he go in? That's right, his identity is special, and his background is too big, if he really reveals his identity, I'm afraid he will scare Congressman Makht.

Abner shook his head, and was about to finish his thoughts, but suddenly saw the "Goddess Sword" on the carriage's face change, he picked up the suitcase made of silver and white metal with one hand, quickly jumped out of the carriage, and left the manor in a few ups and downs. And the servants and servants around him turned a blind eye to this.

What's going on? Why am I not feeling anything? Abner frowned, then opened the "Pure White Eye" and looked around, but found nothing.

His Excellency Sesima is supposed to be a spirit witch, and there are many natural spirits and resentful spirits sealed on his body, perhaps through these inspirations......

With this in mind, Abner planned to go back to the manor and tentatively ask Lady Daly what she should be able to detect now that she was a "necromantic master".

As for Bishop Utravsky? He may be very strong in frontal combat, but as a "Knight of the Dawn", Abner has no hope at all.

……

In front of a manor villa about ten miles away from Elk Manor, Karen, Judy, and Captain Arsenov, who was carrying a huge suitcase, suddenly stopped.

"This is the last place the 'witch' gave her brother to hide the witch? Looks like it should be here...... It's a pity we came late. After temporarily placing the box on the ground, Captain Arsenov sighed.

"It smells so strong...... I'm afraid it's hard for anyone in this manor to be spared......" Karen sniffed and frowned, "Not even the spirit remains...... It must have been the divine monster in the witch's hands. ”

"The nearby plant told me it was a very ferocious flower!" Judy played with her hair with her hands, her expression serious, and she lost her usual smile.

Captain Arsenov stood up the huge box in front of him and said to his two companions, "I have given you 'protection', even if there is any danger, you should be able to block it." Now that you're here, let's go in and investigate. ”

As for himself, because of his size, he was not suitable for moving inside the house.

Judy and Cullen looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and then cautiously pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The house was littered with torn clothes and mottled blood, and the smell of blood was so scented that Judy had to summon a strange thorn from the ground, frantically absorbing the blood around it.

As a "biologist", she has studied many strange plants.

Cullen was comfortable with the scene, and he quickly followed the direction of the splattered blood to the ritual altar on the terrace.

"The Witch of Pain has a ritual here? The ritual of the blood sacrifice? What did she pray to the evil god? ”

Just as Cullen and Judy felt that the problem was getting more and more difficult, the former suddenly sensed it and turned his head abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Judy asked, puzzled.

Cullen raised his hand, pointed in the direction of the north, and said, "There, an extremely evil aura suddenly erupted! ”

……

After arriving in an uninhabited forest on the northwest outskirts, Ace Snake, the "Singer of the Gods", waited for a while, but did not see the "substitutes" follow.

He looked up at the puppets that were still trying to break free from the hurricane in mid-air, and felt that he couldn't wait any longer, intending to temporarily seal "1-025" first, and then go back to see what was going on on Kuhn's side.
