Monday, August 20th.

After a sumptuous dinner, Ember took his leave of Earl Hall's house in the evening.

Of course.

Although it is said to be in the evening, it is not very recognizable from the daytime.

After all, Beckland, as a famous fog capital, is shrouded in the smog generated by the factory all day long.

The boundaries between day and night are not clear.

He didn't go straight back to Hilston from Queens, but headed north to the North Side and then around to Hilston.

This has almost become his daily fixed route -

During the day, eat and drink at the Earl's house, enjoy the exquisite and sumptuous food of the Earl's house and the best of the queen's tea.

At the same time, he will also go to the detective agency randomly every morning or evening to take a turn.

After all, his conscience is not happy to take the church's salary for nothing, and it is worthy of his salary to go around every day.

As for asking him to stay in the detective agency all day?

That's impossible.

What are you doing with a few hundred dollars?

As soon as he arrived at the detective agency, Ember saw the two people sitting at the table playing chess in the detective agency's hall as if they had not changed for thousands of years.

"Good evening, everyone."

Ember casually asked, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

"I think I'd appreciate it if you could pack one for us next time we've finished dinner at the Earl's house."

When Al Hasson heard this, he was angry, and he didn't have a good breath.

Every day, I go to Count Hall's house to fool around, and when I have enough to eat and drink, I come to the detective agency for a walk.

It's not so much to clock in to work, it's better to show off on purpose!

Damn it!

He also wants to stay with the daughter of the aristocratic family all day long!

"Don't listen to him."

Lorota rolled her eyes and casually pointed at the old man beside her, "By the way, Ember, I think you remember old Neil, right?" ”

Ember looked over to see an old man with gray hair and a classical black robe reading in the glow of the gas lamp.

Hearing Lorota's words, the old man stood up, took off his classical black floppy hat and put it on his chest, and smiled.

"Good evening, Mr. Ash."

"Good evening, old Mr. Neil."

Ember replied, then turned her quizzing gaze to Lady Lorota.

The old man in front of him was the extraordinary old Neil who had met in Tingen before.

At that time, he was deeply polluted by the whispers of the hidden sage because of the hidden dangers of his 'voyeur' path, but now, it seems that he has returned to normal.

"The above means to have Old Neil join our squad."

Lorota met the embers' gaze, explained, paused, and said, "What do you think?" ”

“……”

Ember looked at Old Neil, and suddenly stopped talking.

This scene suddenly made old Neil nervous.

Even Al and Borgia, who seemed to be relaxed on the side, were playing chess, and their bodies quietly tensed.

Ember pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke,

"I think it's good, it's always a bit tiring to work alone. With the addition of Old Neil, you can rotate with the lady. ”

"What do you mean?"

Al glared at him angrily, "We're not human, are we?" ”

"It's all about rotation, you don't have to rest anyway, do you?"

Ember shrugged, but his answer darkened Al's face.

"That makes sense."

Lorota's eyes lit up and she nodded thoughtfully.

And old Neil quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

None of them.

At first, it was Ember who saw at a glance what was wrong with Old Neil.

If it were someone else, even the senior deacon would not be able to determine at a glance what happened to old Neil.

That's why old Neil was given a month-long 'treatment' at Chanismen.

But even so, he was sent to Ember's team, hoping that Ember would make the final identification.

"Let's get acquainted."

Borgia saw that Old Neil was a little depressed, and tried to liven up the atmosphere and said, "After all, they are all teammates who will get along in the future, and understanding each other is also conducive to future actions." ”

"Ember."

Ember took the initiative to reach out to Old Neil, "Sequence 8, Master of Tricks." ”

"Sequence 8?"

Old Neil looked at Ember in surprise, but still reached out and shook it with him, "You can call me Old Neil, Sequence 8 'Martial Arts Scholar'." ”

As he spoke, Old Neil suddenly laughed at himself, "I guess this is a blessing in disguise, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be just a Sequence 9 'voyeur' in this life until I die." ”

"Don't say that."

Al shook his head, "Old Neil, you've been on duty at night all your life, if it weren't for the lack of follow-up potion recipes for the Secret Man's path, and it would have been your turn to be promoted in terms of contribution, how can it be said that it is a blessing in disguise?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Lorota also chuckled and quipped, "Old Neil, you have been in Tingen all your life, and it is a blessing in disguise to have the rare opportunity to be on duty in Beckland, right?" ”

Old Neil smiled in agreement, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Is Beckland good?

It's pretty good, much bigger and more developed than Tingen.

But he still prefers Tingen, which is where he has been all his life.

There were Dunn, Bernard, Siga, Loy, Kornley, Leonard, Klein and Roshan, all the people he knew were in Tingen, and it was his forever home.

It's a pity.

He probably won't have the chance to go back for the rest of his life.

After all, he had almost lost control under the bewitchment of the Hidden Sage no matter what.

Even if it has returned to normal now, there is still a possibility of being bewitched again.

The Church would not have relegated him to a small place like Tingen, because he had lost control and was not detected in time.

Night watchmen in a small place like Tingen simply can't handle it easily, and it's bound to cause great losses.

And.

He didn't stay in the squad for long.

After staying behind Chanis Gate for a full month, although he used its power to temporarily suppress the whispers of the Hidden Sage, no one dared to guarantee that he would not 'relapse' again.

Once it relapses, it is inevitable to continue to suppress it with the help of Chanismen.

But as he spends more and more time behind Chanis, his body will also be 'eroded' to a certain extent.

Therefore, for old Neil, becoming the caretaker behind Chanis Gate is undoubtedly the best place for him to be.

"One more thing."

Al paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "The case of serial murder does not need us to intervene for the time being. ”

"Huh?"

Ember glanced at him in surprise.

"Simon, a new Extraordinaire has arrived on their squad."

With indescribable envy in her eyes, Lorota explained softly, "Dali. Simone, a Sequence 6 'Necromantic Master', will take over the helm of Simon and lead the team to continue the investigation of the case. That's right,"

Lorota glanced at Old Neil on the side, "I heard that she also came out of Tingen, you should know Old Neil, right?" ”

"Acquaintance."

Old Neil sighed softly, "It's just that I didn't expect her to be promoted so quickly, you know, she has only been an extraordinary person for five years." ”

"Five years?"

The El and the others glanced at each other, and their eyes were a little inexplicable.

Promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6 in five years, this is undoubtedly the credit of the acting method.
