Wintershire in the northern part of the Kingdom of Rune.

A black church with a spire of Gothic rises over a snow-covered mountain and covers an extremely large area.

In front of it was a cliff, and around it was a white expanse, without the slightest sound.

This is the Church of Serenity, commonly known as the Sanctuary, the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of the Night.

Dressed in a black trench coat and red gloves, the black-haired Leonard Mitchell is walking out of the post office in the town at the foot of the hill, intending to return to the Church of Tranquility before dark.

As he reached the entrance of the town, he passed by a man wearing a long wavy wig with an embroidered gown with a cape-like coat.

Leonard instinctively felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, but when he stopped to take a closer look, he was sure that it was not someone he knew.

He shook his head and sighed silently:

"My memory seems to have deteriorated.

"Always mistaking strangers for you......"

It's not once or twice like this, so Leonard didn't care, turned around, and was about to continue walking out of town.

At this time, he tilted his head slightly, as if he heard something, stopped again, turned his head back sharply, and searched the man he had seen before, but found nothing.

"Old man, what you said is true? There was another person in that man just now? But why didn't I see it? Leonard lowered his voice as he searched the street for his target.

A slightly old voice immediately sounded in his head:

"It's been getting more and more rude since you learned about the 'parasite'......

"I advise you to give up...... If I'm not mistaken, the lady you didn't notice just now is a Sage of the 'audience' pathway. ”

"The Sage of the 'Spectator' Path? Why did she come to Ningye Town? Leonard asked, confused, but he heeded the advice of the old voice and did not pursue it further.

"How would I know? Of course, this is the sanctuary of the Church of the Night, and she certainly isn't here to wreak havoc. The old voice said with a smile.

"Indeed...... It's not my turn to worry about this kind of thing......" Leonard laughed to himself and asked instead, "Is there still a 'stealth' type of ability in the 'spectator' path?" ”

"It's not 'stealth' in the real sense, it's just a psychological level that blinds you." The old voice replied.

"Old man, you seem to know a lot about this ability, huh?"

"That's, after all, stolen and used."

……

In a small two-story building in Ningye Town, Dunn Smith took off his disguise and the wig on his head, and hung it on a coat hanger beside him, and then, with a sigh, said to himself in a low and mellow voice:

"Leonard actually joined the 'Red Gloves'...... This really doesn't look like him...... It seems that the events in Tingen have had a great impact on him. ”

After a while, his gaze sharpened again, he looked at the rocking chair that was shaking not far away, and asked solemnly, "Lady Cross Fia, are you sure that the murderer who killed forty-three people is hiding in Ningye Town?" ”

"OK...... I guess the safest place is the one that feels the most dangerous...... It's a pity that he didn't know that there was a servant of the Goddess of the Night who was practicing in Ningye Town, and he had already known about his evil deeds. A woman with long, curly blond hair appeared and replied as she lazily read the book.

"A servant of the goddess?" Dunn asked, surprised.

Since the servant of the goddess knew about the existence of the murderer, why did he have to wait until he came to deal with it? Moreover, the relationship between the Earth Mother God Church and the Night Church does not seem to be very good, why would the servant of that goddess allow Miss Cross Fia to enter Ningye Town?

"You're the goddess's loyal guardian in the night, why are you worried about this?" Miss Cross Fia, or Miss "Lazy", naturally saw the confusion of the "tool man" she had cultivated, and explained with a smile, "That person is a faithful believer in the goddess on the surface, has donated a lot of money to the church, and his identity is not ordinary, and his influence is great...... And before there was sufficient evidence against his evil deeds, it was inconvenient for the church to intervene. ”

"So, is there a need for 'righteous' heroes at this time?" Dunn said thoughtfully. At the same time, he confirmed one thing, that Cross Fia and the goddess's servant should know each other and have a good relationship, otherwise they would not have been able to deal with such an incident.

"However, you have to pay attention...... Since it's near the church of the Night, I'm sure I won't be able to help you today, and you'll only have five minutes at most. Cross Fia put down her hand, and said solemnly.

"I see." Dunn nodded with deep gray eyes.

……

About an hour later, as a "storm of light" swept by, a man in his forties fell from mid-air to the ground like a broken doll, causing the small building, which had already collapsed most of it, to collapse again.

His limbs, hands and feet had become tattered, and if it weren't for a vest on his body that blocked some of his power, I am afraid that he would have been torn apart by the "light" at this time.

Dressed in gold and red armor, Dunn followed, and he took out a "Guidance" charm that Lady Cross Fia had given him in advance, and after activating it, asked the man in front of him in a deep voice:

"Why did you kill those forty-three?"

"Because...... To extinguish the mouth ......" the man intermittently said as he was dying.

"Why did you extinguish your mouth?"

"They are my partners and their families...... We found a relic in the sea near the port of Vusakindo......

"Suspected remains of a dragon...... However, there is a ritual around the ruins that are arranged with 'five-colored brilliant stones'...... We can't go deep into ......

"In order to keep this secret and keep that treasure to myself, I ...... I just killed everyone in the know...... But my heart is also painful...... So, come to Ningye Town, and confess to the Goddess in the closest place to Him......"

Hearing this, Dunn asked him about the specific location and general situation of the ruin, and then completely solved the other party.

Then, the dream shattered, and the collapsed houses were restored to their original state, except for the man...... Of course, it was a death in good health, and a peaceful death.

After leaving behind the other party's crime record and his own special logo, Dunn took advantage of the night to fly away from Ningye Town.

After another ten minutes, a red glove arrived.

……

Beckland.

At night, in a chess room at the Brave Bar on Iron Gate Street, Marich, dressed in a white shirt and black vest, was playing Texas Hold'em with the living corpses.

At that moment, Jane, dressed in a hooded black robe, walked in, looked around, patted a living corpse on the shoulder, ordered it to give way to her seat, and then sat down in the other person's seat.

Marić's face was still pale, he raised his chin a little depressedly, and said in a low voice:

"When will 'psychics' be able to manipulate living corpses?"

After working together in the battle against the "Rose School" Indulgence faction, Jane's heart knot has been lifted for the most part, and her attitude towards Marić and Sharon has changed somewhat.

On the surface, they gradually became acquainted......

"The 'psychic' naturally can't, but the 'necromantic master' can." After Jane answered, she sensed it seriously and asked strangely, "What about Sharon?" ”

She was wearing the "Hand of the Secret Couple" and could see the "Spirit Thread", so she was sure that the "Resentful Spirit" lady was not present.

"Necromantic Master? It turns out that you have already advanced...... It's fast......" Marić was in a trance, after all, the little girl in front of him was still the one he personally led to the path of the Extraordinary a few months ago, how long has it been? It's already the same sequence 6 as himself......

And when it comes to combat ability, I may not be able to match her...... Marić sighed and stopped thinking about the topic, and instead said, "Sharon has something to do...... Are you looking for her? ”

"Sharon seems to have been busy lately...... I haven't been ...... for several nights," Jian muttered, organized the following sentences, and said:

"I'm going to go to the Southern Continent recently to do something for that lady...... I'm here to ask, is there anything you'd like me to help with? ”

She knew that Marich and Sharon were both from the Southern Continent, and because of the pursuit of the "Rose School", they had not been able to go back.

Marić was silent for a moment, and then suppressed the emotion in his eyes and said, "If you can...... Go and help us see some of our friends' families...... If possible, try to help them out......"

With that, he took a pen and paper, wrote down a few names and addresses, and handed them to Jane.

Without the help of those companions, he and Sharon would not have been able to escape the pursuit and survive the lady's assistance...... But if they helped themselves, they would definitely be liquidated by the "Rose School" afterwards.

"Okay." Jane didn't say much, just took the note and solemnly put it away.

……

West End, 9 Bellotto Street, MI9 Headquarters Building.

A handsome man with a mature and elegant dress walked into the office of Her Royal Highness Vera, and said to Her Royal Highness the heroic princess with a smile:

"Vera, there's a task for you, and if things go well, when everything is over, you should have enough to contribute to apply for the 'Legal Mage' potion."

Listening to the tone, this man is also a member of Rune's royal family, and his rank is even higher than that of His Royal Highness Vera.

"Am I a 'decoy'?" Vera raised her head and said directly.

Her identity is very deceptive in itself.

"Vera, you're too smart...... It's not easy to be too direct......" The handsome man shook his head with a smile before adding, "But don't worry, although it's a bait, Georgina will secretly accompany you." And the bait doesn't stop you. ”

Hearing that a Sage would accompany her, Vera's expression became solemn, and she frowned and asked, "What exactly are you going to send to the Southern Continent?" Can't you just 'travel' to the past? ”

"There's a greater risk of 'traveling' being intercepted......" the handsome man shook his head again.

Hearing this, Vera thought for a while before asking, "Time?" ”

"This Thursday at 12 o'clock at noon, there will be a boat to the port of Prieze...... In addition, you can bring up to 10 men. ”
