Chapter Forty-Eight: So You're a Lawyer!
"Hilston? It's not too far from Queens. β
The Earl's brow furrowed, the safest place in Beckland was undoubtedly the North End, where the headquarters of the Church of the Night was located.
Then there are Queens and the West End, where the aristocracy and top wealthy merchants gathered.
Most of the night watchmen patrol here, and the security conditions are the best.
For example, Count Hall's family even has a team of Night Watchmen sent by the Church of the Night to protect them.
So in general, no criminal would have the audacity to commit a crime here.
If they really want to kill, it's best to go to the East End-
It was the worst security and least regulated place in Beckland.
They can even kill people there without being detected.
But a Sequence 7 criminal, and a cultist who clearly has a brain problem and dares to kill people in Hilston, no one can guarantee that they will not take the risk, and they will also commit crimes in Queens.
So now the most dangerous.
In addition to the night watcher, it is a young and beautiful aristocratic lady like Audrey.
"Audrey."
Earl Hall looked at his daughter.
"I see, Daddy."
Audrey's expression also became a little serious, and she said seriously, "I'll try to avoid going out these days." β
"It's for the best."
Earl Hall said earnestly, "Audrey, although you are already an extraordinary, you can't get enough power to protect yourself just in Sequence 9. β
"Sure enough."
Audrey had already guessed the answer under the reminder of Ember, and her heart was slightly determined, but she whispered, "Do you already know?" β
"You took so many magical materials from the treasure trove, are you still naΓ―ve to think that your father and I didn't know about it?"
The Countess covered her mouth and chuckled, and sure enough, even if she became extraordinary, Audrey was still her innocent and lovely little angel.
"That's why you invited Mr. Lover?"
Audrey silently guessed in her heart.
Because of the recent frequent contact with Mr. Lover, Mom and Dad mistakenly thought it was Mr. Lover's potion recipe for themselves.
So they invited their lover to their house to test whether he had other intentions?
Not.
At least for now, their relationship seems to be quite harmonious, is this Mr. Lovers passing the test?
Thinking so, Audrey sneaked a glance at Ember with her afterglow.
Ember's face was as usual, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, which made Audrey breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lovers."
Audrey thought silently in her heart.
Her audience formula wasn't given by Ember, nor was Ember 'tricking' her into embarking on the path of the Extraordinary.
But for now, it was clear that Count Hall had misunderstood something.
Noticing Audrey's quiet glance at Ember, Earl Hall couldn't help but look at Lady Caitlin.
They all saw the 'know' in each other's eyes, and they had already confirmed some kind of guess.
"The big girl is not staying."
Earl Hall sighed softly in his heart, was this worried that he would hold Ember accountable?
If it had been the beginning, he had already had this in mind.
But judging from the current situation, wouldn't he have become a mandarin duck in the club?
This is not good, he doesn't want to be hated by his baby daughter as an enemy.
"Don't be too nervous."
Count Hall smiled and said, "If you want to go to those banquets or salons, you can do it, but you can't go out alone, at least you need to be protected by other extraordinary beings." β
Audrey nodded silently.
She hadn't actually gone out alone before, and there was the coachman and Anne.
But none of them are extraordinary, so they are actually 'alone'.
But, bodyguards?
"Daddy."
Audrey asked curiously, "Do we have a lot of Extraordinary bodyguards at home?" β
"It's not much."
Earl Hall pondered for two seconds and replied, "There are only a dozen of them, and one of them is the Extraordinary of the Night Church, a total of three people. Among the other extraordinary people, some of them are extraordinary people cultivated by the family, and the other part is a simple employment relationship. β
"But,"
Audrey glanced at Ember quietly and whispered, "These are wild extraordinaires, aren't they?" β
Is it really good for you to say in front of an official extraordinary person that you have more than a dozen wild extraordinary people at home?
"Don't worry."
Ember saw the girl's careful thoughts, shook his head, and said, "These are all tacitly approved, and the nobles of Beckland will privately hire some extraordinary people to protect their own safety, this is the unspoken rule of the church's acquiescence. β
"Actually, it's not tacit approval."
The Countess interjected, and complained, "We have to donate a great deal of gold pounds to the church every year for the sake of these extraordinary people." β
Audrey opened her mouth, her expression inexplicably strange.
What about the incompatibility between the official extraordinary and the wild extraordinary?
So is there an unspoken rule to this?
"Count Hall."
Ember suddenly asked, "Can you ask which sequence path the Hall family uses to cultivate the Extraordinary?" β
Count Hall paused for a moment, nodded and said, "This is nothing to hide, the Hall family has two extraordinary sequence paths on hand, which are arbitrators and lawyers, but the highest is only up to sequence 6." β
After a pause, Earl Hall said a little helplessly, "It's a pity that you have already chosen your own path, and these two sequence paths in my hands probably won't help you much." β
"Lawyer?"
Ember's eyes moved slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Audrey.
And Miss Audrey also seemed to feel something at this time, and also looked at Ember.
"Daddy."
Audrey pondered her language for a moment and asked, "Can I ask where these two sequence pathways come from?" β
"The source, of course, is the royal family."
Count Hall said as a matter of course, "Most of the nobles of the Rune Kingdom have mastered these two sequential paths, and they are all bought from the royal family. β
After a pause, Earl Hall smiled again, "This is also part of the rules, otherwise even if the Church acquiesces to us cultivating the Extraordinary in private, the royal family will not allow it." β
He didn't want Audrey to touch that.
But now that Audrey has become extraordinary, and they have also had a showdown.
Then it is necessary to let Audrey know more about the secrets of the mysterious world, so that she can avoid some detours.
In order to obtain private training of extraordinary people without being held accountable by the church, they have to donate to the church every year.
At the same time, the church will also send a team of night watchmen to the door.
Both to keep them safe and to oversee the extraordinary ones they have cultivated.
For example, to prevent them from getting out of control or something.
And in order for the royal family to acquiesce in the same, this requires them to pay for potion recipes and materials from the royal family.
The royal family can use this to make money, and it can also be used to monopolize the formula of medium and high sequences of potions.
Therefore, the Potion recipe sold by the royal family only reaches Sequence 6.
And if the nobles want to let the cultivated extraordinary continue to improve, they will either spend a greater price.
Either let these extraordinary people work for the royal family and exchange their 'contributions' for potions.
So at the end of the day.
In fact, it was just a deal from start to finish.
