There was not a single customer in the empty hall, and the clerks were also gathering in twos and threes to chat and pass the time, and it seemed that there was nothing to do. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If you change the time, it's definitely overcrowded.

"Yeyue-kun looks like he's in a bad mood. ”

Lias sat across from the night moon, holding her head in one hand and poking at the mousse cake in front of her with a spoon in the other.

"I'm just a little tired. Yeyue glanced at her and sighed.

"There is ~therefore~matter~" Lias looked at the night moon with interest.

"you. Yeyue flicked the bottom of the crystal cup with her fingers in boredom, "You don't work and steal the cake in the store, husband?"

"Of course~ no problem. Lias stroked her cute face and tilted her head, "There are no guests at this time, and the pay for my work here is to eat cake as much as I want." ”

"Why do I find this pay a little strange...... Never mind. ”

"What's so strange!" Instead, Lias shook her little fist in front of Yeyue and said in a breathless manner, "What's wrong with girls liking delicious desserts!"

“...... I always feel like something is wrong?"

"Lias thinks you can get a taste of what we girls think. ”

"That's the only one, please don't!"

After chatting with the energetic little maid for a few words, the irritability was swept away.

"Thank you. Yeyue said sincerely.

"Huh?" Lias glanced at him suspiciously, and then a flame appeared in his eyes, "If you really want to thank me, I can borrow you women's clothes, all styles!"

"Wait for me!" Night Moon almost squirted out the chilled lemon juice she had just drunk, "Why do you have such dangerous thoughts!No, I don't want to know! Stop it!"

"Cut ......"

Under the persecution of Lias, Nightmoon revealed a little bit about the problem of the dome.

“...... Doesn't Dore-chan like talking to other people?" said the blonde girl, holding her head.

"Hmm. Yeyue drew circles on the table with her fingers, "She's closed herself, I'm worried about her ......"

"Smack. Lias slapped Nightmoon on the head.

Yeyue looked at her innocently.

"Because this brother who is having trouble with his sister is hopeless! Do you really know what she likes? Do you really know what she needs? Do you really know what she's doing?"

Lias dropped, "You didn't even try to understand Dome-chan. ”

“...... No, do you understand?" the night moon bowed her head in thought.

......

The Castle Lord's Mansion is located on the highest point in the east of the city, with a relaxing overlook of the city. The erosion of time and wind and rain has not left a clear mark on this somewhat historic castle, and the clematis and honeysuckle flowers that climb the iron fence are artificially trimmed and not messy.

"This is it. Night Moon looked up and checked the sign.

There is no sign outside the castle's large iron gates.

Before the official start of the dinner, Yeyue still came early, perhaps because today's events still made him a little upset.

"Don't approach idlers. Unsurprisingly, Yeyue was stopped by an ordinary-looking person.

Looking at the tiny details of the opponent's movements, it should be plainclothes guards distributed around the perimeter.

"Well, but I'm not an idler. Night Moon pointed to the dark blue six-pointed badge on her chest, "I was invited. ”

He rarely uses the badge representing the mage level, but on this occasion, he still wears it more powerfully.

The sideline of the six-pointed badge had already been outlined with four bright corners, and the guard realized that the overly young-looking man in front of him was only one step away from the great magician, and hurriedly moved out of the way.

"Welcome, Dear Mr. Magician. ”

......

As time passed, the empty banquet hall gradually became more and more crowded.

Removing a bottle of ordinary-looking wine from the shelf, Yeyue spun the bottle and wrote the numbers 8, 9, and 3 in rough handwriting in the corner of the label, a rarity from 893 and at least thirty years old, but here it was placed on the shelf like the most ordinary drink for guests to eat.

"You still drink?" Miranda haunts the night moon like a ghost.

Ye Yue's hand shook, and she almost threw out the bottle that she didn't know how much it would sell for at auction.

"You're so early, Your Excellency Miranda. Yeyue quietly put the bottle back.

"Not as early as you. Miranda sat down across from the small table.

Unlike the meditative Miranda she sees on weekdays, she also changes into gorgeous clothes that can express her identity even when she is out of the house, as for how the designer achieves both goals at the same time - where there is a market, there is motivation, and many high-level professionals do not like the traditional cumbersome things that take hours to put on and take off.

Miranda's long knife didn't know where she received it, maybe it was in some space equipment, or maybe it was placed in the academy and didn't bring it out.

When the banquet began, Sharp would have a long time to finish. Miranda raised her glass and shook it, the wine in the glass glowing ruby, "Drink with me." ”

Sharp Mowen, the lord of the city of Leias, was the organizer of this banquet and the most powerful person in the city.

"Let's talk about it first. Yeyue poured a third of the amount against him, "I can't drink more." ”

The corners of Miranda's mouth curled slightly, and the crystal goblets collided to make a crisp sound.

The luscious liquor washed over every taste bud and slid down her throat, and Nightmoon lowered her glass, and if he guessed correctly, Miranda should have something to inform him.

Miranda looked up and turned to the opposite side of the venue: "Priest Rogge has just returned, you can go and say hello to him." ”

In the direction indicated by Miranda sat an old man in a priest's robe, the robe was so worn that several obvious patches could be seen, and his long face was like a board, and he was still doing simple prayer rituals in such a noisy environment, and few people dared to approach him, even the curious were excluded by this aura that no one should approach.

Priest Rog, the old priest who reported several anomalous events to the church, has reached the advanced age of retirement, but is still dedicated to the cause of spreading the Lord.

Yeyue had long wanted to talk to Priest Rogge, but Rogge had left the city to preside over the Thanksgiving Sacrifice in a nearby village and town, which was completely staggered.

As he got closer, the old man was still praying with his eyes closed, and Yeyue noticed that he had no ornaments on his body other than the white wing badge and seal ring that represented his bishop's status, and that there was nothing commendable about his robe except for its neatness. Expensive drinks and well-prepared delicacies are less than five steps away, but they are not used. This is an ascetic.

But I didn't expect it to be a bishop-level existence.

Nightmoon found a nearby seat and sat down, the chatty guests were reluctant to approach a person like Priest Rog, an ascetic would not seek his own personal benefit even if he had great power, because it would violate their oath, let alone provide convenience to others.

Instead of sticking a hot face to a cold butt, it is better to connect with like-minded people and exchange information.

Night Moon waited for Rogge's round of prayer services to end.

"What's the matter? Priest Rog opened his eyes and turned to the Night Moon.

The voice was hoarse as if rubbing on sandpaper, and it looked a little rigid and cold, no wonder no one came close to Rog Tao.

Judging by the way he interrogated, Rogge should know who Night Moon is.

"Your Excellency, you should know what I'm here for, right?"

"I don't know. ”

It seems that the bishop has had so much to do that he forgot about the letter he had written only two months ago, or rather did not take it to heart too much.

Nightmoon handed him a letter with the unique mark of the church, and Rogge took it with a frown, the letter looked familiar.

"This is your letter to the Holy See Headquarters in the City of Flowers. Yeyue explained directly.

In Rogge's letters, there are only two main things recorded. One is the diversion of the Skari River, which flows through more than a dozen villages and towns, and the heavy losses along the way, which may be a harbinger of a widespread natural disaster, and the other is the suspicious presence of suspicious elements in the Leias area, suspected of being a well-known dangerous group "Red Blood Storm".

The letter ...... You're from the Imperial Capital......" Rogge frowned at the old man, "What do you mean?"

The reply from the church headquarters in the main city gave a rough introduction to Yeyue's identity and handed over the matter to Yeyue.

"The river was diverted. Night Moon whispered, "What does that mean if it happened before the Demon Moon descends?"

The diversion of rivers is the rhythm of the earth, and if it is a purely accidental phenomenon, it is nothing, but if it is not an accident, then the effects of the demonic moon have been produced before it appears.

"Demon Moon ......" Rogge recalled the scene from thirty-seven years ago, and his clenched palms trembled subconsciously.

"You are responsible for what you say. Rogge said with extreme seriousness.

"I'm just conveying the advice of Master Münster. Yeyue replied without hesitation.

Not their own pot absolutely do not back.

Yeyue's answer made the old priest a little unswerving, but he also wanted to understand that Yeyue could only be regarded as a messenger and helper, and this responsibility was not his responsibility.

“...... I see. Priest Rogge nodded, "Is this the purpose of the City Lord's initiation of this banquet?" From my personal point of view, the words of the 'prophet' are not very convincing. ”

"What if there is an astrological chart?" said in a low voice as Night Moon sipped her tea.

"It's not useful to have only astrological charts...... You—" The old priest paused suddenly.

"Deseth's gaze only notices the careless. 」”

Night Moon uttered a meaningful proverb and said goodbye to Priest Rogge.

Priest Rogge's brow furrowed even deeper: "Will disaster only befall the unprepared?" (To be continued.) )
