Church of the Night, Church of Tranquility.

Leonard Mitchell donned a black trench coat and red gloves and entered the house belonging to Senior Deacon Crestel. Sesima's room.

"Congratulations, officially becoming a Red Glove, may the Goddess bless you." Sesima drew a crimson moon on her chest.

He still covered his mouth with a high vertical neckline.

"Praise the Goddess, it is my pleasure." Leonard raised his right hand and tapped it four times clockwise.

Sesima didn't say much and got straight to the point:

"At your own request, I have put you in the Sost team, he is a requiem with his own magical items, the extraordinary weapons you need, and I have already ordered someone to prepare them for you.

"In addition, the Templar has just received a special and extraordinary case, related to dreams, the location is the city of Gulayin in the Southern Continent, and the Soster team is about to depart in an airship, which is expected to arrive by the end of this week, and you only have a few hours to pack your bags."

"Your Excellency Secima, what's so special about that case?" Leonard asked curiously.

"The man who started the case called himself Doctor Strange, and he was present in Tingen, where the Nightwatchers helped thwart the Bloodcult's plots, and the Sunia Sea, who intercepted the Immortal King's detachment." Sesima didn't hide it, and brought up the information that had been gathered to Leonard.

"Tingen!" Leonard's heart tightened at first, and only relaxed after hearing that the conspiracy of the "Blood Cult" failed to succeed, and said strangely: "It sounds like this Doctor Strange is not a bad person, just like the Iron Man who appeared in the town at the foot of the mountain before......"

Sesima shook her head and said, "I told the night watchmen in Beckland something like this, these heroes seem to be okay now, and they even helped our officials and saved my life......

"But they are also a destabilizing factor! For example, this time Doctor Strange, he scattered a kind of extraordinary card in Gulain to forcibly pull others into dreams, although it seems that he is helping others, it cannot be ruled out that he is using this means to perform some kind of ritual...... So it must be stopped. ”

"That's true......" Leonard, who is also an experienced night watchman, nodded in approval after thinking about it.

"Also, judging by the way he behaves, it's likely that Doctor Strange is part of the same organization as Iron Man, the Joker, and the recent Rogue in Beckland...... You'll have to take into account the need to collect clues in your investigation, such as what is the significance of the Tarot ceremony held by the Rogue and the Joker in Beckland. Sesima added.

"Yes, Sir Secima." Leonard didn't have any problem with that.

This will be the beginning of my revenge...... He said something silently in his heart, and was about to turn away, but at this time, Sesima suddenly stopped him again and said, "Wait a minute, there is one more thing...... I've heard that Detective Abner Brayne is currently on vacation in Byam, and he's a friend of mine, and I'm going to pay a visit and say hello when you're passing there...... Did you see him or not, he took a telegram to inform me of the results. ”

Leonard was in a trance as he was stopped, as if he had returned to Black Thorn Security, to the scene after Dunn had arranged his work every time.

However, he quickly came to his senses, laughing at himself for always being full of unrealistic fantasies, before he seriously thought about Secima's words.

I don't mention my personal affairs, and I don't mention my requests so strangely, but why do I pass by Byam when I go to Gurain? Wouldn't it be faster to fly directly to Dixi by airship and take a boat?

He thought so and asked.

Sesima was silent for a few seconds, but then replied, "You will meet up with an elite group of Substitutes there, and then together you will take the Church of the Storm ship to Gulain. ”

"A doctor strange who hasn't really caused trouble...... Is it worth the joint action of the elite squads of the two churches? Leonard asked, puzzled.

You have a lot of questions...... Sesima glanced at him and didn't answer directly, but said, "You'll know when you get to Gulain." ”

Got it...... The investigation of "Doctor Strange" is just an excuse, and what really deserves a joint action by the two churches is probably something else...... And, in this way, apparently, to hide from someone...... Who will it be?

Leonard nodded thoughtfully, and did not continue to ask, but after saying goodbye to Cessima, he took advantage of the opportunity to pack his luggage and asked in a low voice, "Old man, what do you think?" ”

"Quite simply, this method will not be to hide from the enemy, most likely allies...... So, it's either the Steam Church, it's the Rune official. "Parlessoroaster, who was "parasitic" on Leonard, laughed, "It must have been one of them who made some big moves in the Southern Continent, and they didn't inform the Storm Church and you, so they sent you there under other pretexts to find out the truth." ”

"I see, I see!" Leonard, who was listening intently, had a look on his face.

……

On the "Golden Dream", "Lieutenant General Iceberg" Edwina, after studying the spiritual world, as Abner expected, did not have the idea of benefiting in vain, but prepared a gift in return.

She strolled over to a bookshelf, pulled out an old book bound in thick parchment, and then turned around and handed it to Abner, and said:

"This is also a notebook of the Abrahamic family, called the Book of Stars and Elements, written by the only wanderer of the Abrahamic family for nearly a thousand years, which records a lot of knowledge related to the astral and symbolic elements, and is full of wonderful ideas about how to use that knowledge......"

The more he listened, the more familiar it became, and he looked through it cautiously, only to find that apart from the lack of knowledge of astral boundaries, symbols, and the like, the "whimsy" of application in the back was exactly the same as the content of the book of astrology in his hand.

It could even be said that the Book of Stars and Elements is the complete version of that Book of Astrology.

The Book of Astrology was obtained from Fanny's grandfather, Mr. Surrey...... The gentleman said that it was a manuscript he had copied while studying in Lemburg, and that it had been an abridged and transcribed copy of an Abrahamic family notebook by a high-ranking man...... At that time, I also complained about the death behavior of that high-ranking powerhouse......

So, this notebook in my hand is the real source of the Book of Astrology? It turned out to be written by a "wanderer" from Sequence 3...... A thousand years ago, at the beginning of the Fifth Age? He hadn't suffered from Mr. "Door" or some kind of terrible pollution that I can't even remember, but knows? How?

However, the "wanderer" must have died later, otherwise the Abrahams would not have been so miserable......

Seeing that Abner was deep in thought, the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Adevina did not urge, but pulled a chair and sat down to continue to study what he had seen in the spirit world.

Soon, Abner stopped thinking in a state of confusion, and he did not hide that he had the book of astrology in his hand, and asked directly about the origin of the notebook.

He believes that with his current friendship with the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg", if the other party knows, he will definitely tell him...... After all, it is difficult for the "reader" to control himself in this regard.

Adevina put down the book, thought for two seconds, raised her head, and explained in a slow voice:

"The Book of Astrology in the Library of the White Tower in Remberg is actually a summary of my great-grandfather's notes, as well as a little bit of his personal experience.

"The notebook was a relic of a great-grandfather's friend named Benjamin Abraham...... Because the material itself had no extraordinary powers, he gifted it to my great-grandfather before he died.

"As for who the wanderer is, I don't know, I only know that it should be an ancestor of the Abrahamic family, the only member of the Abrahamic family who successfully advanced to demigod or even Sequence 3 in the Fifth Age...... It is said that his temperament changed drastically after he was promoted to demigod, and he was reluctant to reveal the experience of his success. ”

It turns out that the high-ranking powerhouse who died was your great-grandfather...... And, Benjamin Abraham? Isn't this also a subordinate of Russell the Great? I remember that in the original book, it was with his help that Russell found the mysterious island where Green was buried again......

If this is a friend, Adevanna's great-grandfather is Edwards, one of the so-called "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", right?

Although I can't remember some things, I vaguely knew that the problem behind the Abrahams, or Mr. "Gate", should be the same as the problem of the mysterious island that Russell had discovered......

Edwards got this notebook, is it also a kind of deflection of fate? After all, in the original book, he also landed on that island, and returned there after dying at the age of 100.

But I didn't find anything strange about this notebook with the "Pure White Eye", and Adevina held it for so long without any problems, right?

Well, considering that the "Rover" always makes the cut, maybe he really found a way to block out the babble or pollution?

However, for the sake of caution, it is safer to study this notebook in the "Source Fort".

With this in mind, Abner closed the old book and asked Adwina, "Can I borrow it for a while?" ”

"Lieutenant General Iceberg," Adwina nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes." ”

After that, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Abner said goodbye to him.

Since the Golden Dream had been cruising around the Southern Continent during this time, and it was not too far from Gulain, Abner did not use the "Edwards Bryne Teleportation", but "swam" back to the colonial city built on the mountain after identifying the direction.

When he returned to the basement of Wall's house at 22 Incisor Street in the upper lip area, it was already late and Abner did not have time to eat dinner, so he held a ceremony in the "barrier" and "sacrificed" the newly arrived astrological and elemental book and the crystal ball obtained after killing "Julius" Ozil to Mr. "Fool", asking him to keep it on his behalf.

Needless to say, the former was specially taken out of the lounge of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" by Abner......

Since the crystal ball was put in, Abner felt that his luck in "liver" points had become extremely poor, and he had failed several times, and if he hadn't been able to "shuttle" directly out of the scene, he would have lost the money for "breaking away from the spell".
