"One more thing."

"I have received information that Lieutenant General Hurricane Ziringus, one of the seven pirate generals, has secretly come ashore and infiltrated Beckland, not knowing what he wants to do. So I want you guys to help investigate his whereabouts, of course ......"

Alger paused, and looked at Ember with some hesitation, "It's naturally best if you have the ability to contact and investigate his purpose, but if you don't have enough strength, it's best not to make rash contact." ”

Miss Justice set her sights on Ember.

It is clear that the first half of the words are addressed to them, but the second half is addressed to the embers.

After all, Miss Justice, who has just been an audience member for a month, obviously does not have enough strength to complete these tasks.

"Ziringus."

Ember pondered for two seconds and asked, "What sequence is he?" ”

"Sequence 6 of the Sailor's Path, 'The Wind Favourer'."

Alger seemed to have anticipated his question, and immediately said, "But although Ziringus is only Sequence 6, he has a very powerful magical item, and those who know it call it Wriggling Hunger. ”

"As a side effect of using this magical item, Ziringus must satisfy it with the soul and flesh of a living person every other day, or it will take its own place with its own master."

"But at the same time, with this magical item, Zilingers has other more powerful abilities, he can enter other people's dreams, he can summon light to purify the necromancer, he can enhance himself with his singing, he can transform into different people's appearances and almost do anything."

Describing the magical item's abilities in considerable detail, Alger pauses and says, "We suspect it's all from the wriggling hunger artifact. ”

Alger stared intently at the embers.

Because he knew very well that the only person in the audience who had the best hope of helping him investigate this matter was Ember.

Mr. Fool, he did not move, and Miss Justice was clearly a noble lady, and had just been an extraordinary for less than two months.

I probably can't count on her.

And the 'sun', which doesn't even know where it came from, can't help even more.

"Shepherd?"

'Sun' Deric, who was quietly listening because Alger didn't think he could help and couldn't help himself, blurted out in amazement.

"Shepherd?"

Everyone's eyes instantly converged on the 'sun', which made Darek panic a little, and stammered to explain that the wriggling hunger that Alger had expounded was very similar to the ability of Sequence 5 'Shepherd' of the 'Secret Prayer Man' pathway.

"I see."

Alger looked surprised, and he said that he seemed to have heard the name somewhere.

Then, he cast a slightly expectant gaze on Ember.

"Yes."

Ember thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "I'm quite interested in that magical item. ”

"I can provide a portrait of him."

Alger breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately said.

Although he also knew that the portraits he provided were probably of little use.

After all, since Ziringers can change his appearance, he naturally won't use his original appearance.

But something is better than nothing.

Ultimately.

With the sound of Mr. Fool tapping lightly on the tabletop, the tarot will come to an end.

……

Beckland, Queens, inside the Hall family luxury villa.

In Audrey's boudoir on the second floor, near the end of the hallway, a man and a woman opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask?"

Ember changed his posture to make himself more comfortable leaning on the sofa, looked at the girl who cast a complicated gaze on the bed, and took the initiative to speak.

Above the gray mist, Ember could see that Audrey was speechless, but she clearly didn't want to discuss it in front of anyone else.

"I ......"

Audrey hesitated for a long time, her lips opened lightly, and she said in a low voice, "Kaping, does he really have anything to do with the royal family?" ”

"Yes."

Ember nodded slightly, "It's MI9 that is handed over to Kapin, but who is behind MI9, I think you should know very well." ”

Audrey fell silent.

Anyone knows that MI9 is the secret intelligence agency of the royal family.

Without the approval of the royal family, how dare they cooperate with a trafficker in such a big way?

It's obvious.

Although Ember's words were understated, they undoubtedly shattered the image of the royal family in the girl's heart.

It's just that.

Her biggest concern now was not the royal family, after all, it was too far away.

What she was worried about was the aristocracy......

"The nobility should not be involved."

Ember saw the girl's concern and took the initiative to speak, "The relationship between the royal family and the nobility is far less intimate than you think, and from the information I have now. Even within the royal family, this matter is absolutely secret, and only a very small number of people know the inside story, but Earl Hall is obviously not among them. ”

"Is that so?"

Audrey couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although she didn't know how Ember analyzed this, she still chose to believe Ember.

And as long as her father is not involved, then this matter has nothing to do with her.

"Need my help investigating?"

Audrey sat on the edge of the bed, regaining her composure as a 'spectator' and asked.

"No, I don't."

Ember shook his head slightly, paused, and said, "However, you can try to help me survey the topographical map of the palace." Well, it's best to be specific to which bedroom the king lives in. ”

For embers.

It would be great if the true identity of the 'Black Emperor' could be investigated step by step.

But you have to be prepared for everything.

It is also necessary to familiarize yourself with the terrain of the palace in advance.

"If that's the case."

Audrey blinked, "Do you want to go to the palace yourself?" ”

"Huh?"

Ember raised an eyebrow slightly, and looked at Audrey in some surprise.

"New Year's party."

Audrey explained, seeing that the embers were still unknown, so she said helplessly, "After the age of 18, aristocratic women can officially enter the social scene under the guidance of the queen and declare themselves adulthood. This is usually done on the last day of the year at the New Year's party, which is traditionally held at the royal palace. ”

"So ......"

Audrey paused, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, "If you want, I can also invite you to the New Year's party together." ”

"That's right."

Ember touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Then I probably don't need your invitation." ”

"Huh?"

"Although I just thought that the declining nobles on the border, but fortunately I am also a viscount, and I still have the qualifications to participate in the New Year's party, right?"

Facing the girl's questioning gaze, Ember shrugged his shoulders and said casually.

And so.

For the two hours leading up to dinner, Audrey had been angry that she hadn't given him a good look.
