Chapter Forty-Seven: Am I Exposed?
Although Audrey's brain was down for a moment, as a spectator, she quickly recovered and began to think about how to deal with the situation in front of her.
Luckily, she finally figured out a way to break the game.
There is only one way to do this -
Silent.
As long as she is silent, no one will be able to get any useful information from her!
And in fact.
The Earls and Counts also saw their daughter's careful thoughts, and looked at each other tacitly.
Instead of choosing to puncture, he decided to find another breakthrough.
"Ash."
The Countess looked at Ember with a kind gaze and said with a smile, "I don't know if today's lunch is to your liking, if you are not used to eating, you can order the kitchen to remake it." Although they hadn't been to Winter County either, their cooking skills were pretty good. ”
"No, no."
Ember put down his knife and fork and exclaimed, "It tastes good." ”
"That's good."
The Countess smiled and nodded, but then suddenly changed her words and asked, "By the way, I heard that you have only been in Beckland for a short time. How, have you found a decent job? ”
"I'm the night watchman of the Night Church now."
Ember replied.
Audrey looked up and looked at Ember in surprise.
I looked at my parents again, but the counts looked the same as usual.
Obviously.
They already knew that Ember was the Night Watchman.
But even if you know this, is it really necessary to say it in front of her?
After all, she is just a noble lady who is ignorant of the world.
Or is it ......
Audrey suddenly thought of a possibility and silently lowered her head.
"What about the weekly salary?"
"One hundred pounds a week."
"A hundred pounds?"
The Countess couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this.
She just thinks it's a little bit high.
After all, even the Hall family can only earn hundreds of thousands of gold pounds a year.
Much of this income came from the rent of the earl's domain, as well as other commercial investments.
Simply dead wages want to reach 100 pounds a week, which is already the top group of people in Beckland.
The count's expression was a little different from the countess's.
In addition to surprise, there was also some disbelief.
Because he knows more than the Countess!
He knew that Ember was the night watchman of the Night Church, and that he could find out this kind of information if he wanted to.
However, in terms of specific salary packages, it is difficult to obtain this information unless you are an insider.
But for a hundred pounds a week, that's 5,200 pounds a year!
What's more, there is no tax for night watchers, and there will be no discount for the 5,200 pounds.
Not to mention, as night watchmen, they must have other ways to make money reasonably.
It's just that.
According to the Earl's knowledge of the night watchmen of the Night Church, the salary of the night watchman is usually related to three aspects.
length of service, contribution to the church, and one's own referral.
According to the combination of these three aspects, the weekly salary of Sequence 9 is usually 4-10 pounds.
Sequence 8 earns 10-20 pounds per week.
Sequence 7 earns 20-40 pounds per week.
As for the weekly salary of 100 pounds, it has to be at least the treatment of the extraordinary person of Sequence 6!
Doesn't that mean......
"He's the Sequence 6 Extraordinary?"
The Count was taken aback by his own speculation.
Sequence 6 itself is not surprising, and he is not unremarkable who has not seen Sequence 6.
But combined with Ember's age, it's a bit scary!
After all, according to the report, Ember is only 17 years old this year!
Judging by the Kingdom's criteria for judging adulthood, he is not even an adult!
But according to the Earl's known attempts, it takes two or three years to get from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8, three or five years from Sequence 8 to Sequence 7, and at least ten years from Sequence 7 to Sequence 6!
"No, it should just be Sequence 7!"
The Count quickly dismissed his speculation and took a deep breath to calm down.
The other party has a special status, and the weekly salary of 100 pounds probably includes additional subsidies or bonuses.
But even so.
The 17-year-old sequence 7 is also exaggerated enough!
"A hundred pounds, that's pretty good."
The Countess didn't know what her husband was thinking, but she bowed her head slightly and asked, "Is this work hard?" Will it be very dangerous? ”
"It's not hard work."
Ember replied kindly, "My job is a flexible work system, and danger is inevitable. In the time I've been here in Beckland alone, I've had two extraordinary cases. ”
"The first time was a business trip to Tingen half a month ago, and the whole two squads of seven night watchmen were almost wiped out."
"Goddess bless."
The Countess was a little afraid to spend on the Crimson Moon on her chest, but then she was a little curious, "What about the other one?" ”
"Just this morning."
Ember was silent for a moment before speaking slowly, "Last night, to be exact, a Sequence 8 night watchman was brutally murdered in the living room of his house. There was a huge window in her abdomen, but her entrails and spirit were gone. ”
Ember did not hide it, because sooner or later this case was going to come to light.
Especially with his status as an earl, it was easy for him to inquire about the details of this case.
What's more, the other party was still squatting in the detective agency in the morning, so it should be clear where he went.
"Even the extraordinary have been brutally murdered?"
The Countess felt a chill down her back when she heard this, and she suddenly regretted asking about these things.
"Also."
Ember paused, then continued, "Lady Caitlyn and Miss Audrey have been going out as little as possible lately, if they can. ”
"Huh?"
Audrey, who had been bowing her head as an ostrich, raised her head in surprise.
"You mean, there's a good chance that the criminals will strike again?"
The Earl thought of a possibility, and immediately asked.
"Yes."
Ember nodded slightly, and explained, "That criminal is likely to be a cultist, and at least an Extraordinary Sequence 7 or higher, otherwise it would be impossible to easily kill a Sequence 8 Night Watchman." ”
"And whether the purpose of his murder is vendetta or other purposes, as long as he has not left Beckland, it is very likely that the tiger will commit the crime again, because such a person cannot resist the desire to kill himself."
"And if they do strike again, the biggest possibility is someone with the same attributes as the previous victim."
"Either a night watchman or a young and beautiful woman."
These analyses were not made by Ember, but by Ash.
The murderer has been identified as a member of the Blood Cult or the Rose School, and his path is most likely the criminal path or the prisoner pathway.
And either of these two paths drives them to become fanatical murderers.
"Where is the crime?"
The Earl's heart sank and he asked in a deep voice.
"Hilston."
