Tuesday, October 16th.

The Blue Avenger slowly sailed into the docks.

This is the Port of Prieze, the largest and busiest port in the Kingdom of Rune.

As soon as you arrive at Plitz Harbour, Beckland is right at hand.

The next step is to take a steam train and you'll be in Beckland in a matter of hours.

As the ship slowly approached, Ember stepped off the Blue Avenger.

Alger stood on the side for a long time, and silently chose to return.

Beckland is a great place to be.

But unfortunately it is not suitable for him now.

His 'Voyager' potion had not yet been digested, so he had to remain the captain of the Blue Avenger for a long time.

Of course.

Even if the 'Voyager' potion was fully digested, he would not leave the sea.

Because the next sequence of wind lovers can only be digested as soon as possible at sea.

It can only be said that everyone's situation is different.

But we all have a bright future.

……

Wintershire, inside the Church of Tranquility.

Leonard Mitchell donned a black trench coat and red gloves and entered the room belonging to Senior Deacon Crestessima.

"Congratulations, officially a Red Glove, may the Goddess bless you."

Sesima drew a crimson moon on his chest, still covering his mouth with a high vertical neckline.

"Praise the Goddess, it is my pleasure."

Leonard raised his right hand and tapped it four times clockwise.

"At your own request, I'll put you in Team Sost, he's a requiem."

"Captain."

Hearing Cessima's words, Leonard hesitated for a moment and asked.

"He's just like you."

Cesima smiled, "However, he will be the vice-captain of Sost."

"Whew."

Leonard breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

This is undoubtedly the best outcome.

"Crunch~"

Leonard pushed open the door and left Cessima's room.

In the hallway outside, Dunn, also in a black trench coat, was waiting for him against the wall.

"Captain."

Leonard shouted, then laughed again, "This time it's really the captain."

Dunn has been a Sequence 7 for more than a decade, and should have been promoted to Sequence 6 at a normal pace.

However, due to the extraordinary properties of his sacrificial teammates, his digestion progress was extremely slow.

And he himself was happy about it.

It was Klein's death that made him realize that he couldn't go on like this.

This, coupled with the 'resurrection from the dead' in Tingen, made him enlightened.

A few days ago, he was successfully promoted to the 'Requiem Master' of Sequence 6.

It is precisely because of this strength that he can serve as the vice-captain of the Sost team.

As long as he has a period of qualifications, he can go out on his own and build his own team.

"Hmm."

Dunn bowed slightly, with the same smile on his face, and said softly, "There's a telegram from Siga that his brother Benson resigned not long ago. ”

When they leave Tingen, opting in to the Red Glove.

Siga Teang, who was also promoted to Sequence 7, chose to stay and continue to protect Tinn in Dunn's place.

And out of guilt and indebtedness to Klein, they have been silently paying attention to his family.

"Why?"

Leonard's expression moved slightly.

"More than half a month ago, the Unified Examination Act was passed, and he resigned in order to concentrate on preparing for the exam in two months' time."

"If nothing else, they'll be on their way to Beckland in a few months."

"It's good."

Leonard opened his mouth, but in the end he just left a dry sentence and turned away in silence.

……

Hilston District.

Hugh continues her life as a bounty hunter, while Forth is still salted.

Having been promoted to a master of juggling, she feels that she has no desires.

It's just that I don't know why.

She felt a little irritated and decided to go out for a walk.

As she walked, she found herself unconsciously back in a familiar place.

Diagonally in front of her was the Yusuf Clinic, where she first worked, a sizable private practice.

But now it's Dr. Allen.

After staring for a moment, Fur thought of the old lady who had led him into the otherworld.

So I turned into a small alley on the right and approached a nearby street.

The street is lined with plane trees that are floundering and their leaves flying, and it's a relatively quiet place.

The old lady lived in the house at No. 39, as Furth remembered.

And at this time.

An old man in a half-height black top hat and blue eyes stood at the door of the house at No. 39 and rang the doorbell three times.

But there is no doubt that no one has ever opened the door.

Because it's uninhabited in the first place.

Suddenly, he spotted Firth, who was not far away, looking at the side.

Hurriedly took a step, walked over, and smiled gently and eagerly:

"Beautiful lady, do you live in this neighborhood? Do you know Lauboro and Ann Lisa? ”

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ember took the nearest steam train to Beckland, where he took the subway to the North End.

He was going to go back to the Night Church first.

However, instead of going directly to St. Samuel's Church, he chose to go to the Beckland Detective Agency first.

Not surprisingly.

Once again, he saw a familiar figure.

Al Hasen and Borgia were playing chess as always.

Old Neil watched them play chess from the sidelines, and did not interject, but shook his head and sighed from time to time.

"Welcome back."

Borgia suddenly raised his head and shouted.

"Yo?"

Al Hasson turned his head in surprise, and couldn't help but smack his tongue the moment he saw the embers, "Tsk, you finally came back from a business trip, how do you feel?" ”

"On a business trip?"

Ember asked rhetorically, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, it's a business trip, and it feels good." ”

“……”

Al Hasson is full of black lines, do you dare to be a little more perfunctory?

It's not a business trip at all when you look like this, right?!

Sure enough, he said that this thing didn't feel right anywhere.

A person who doesn't even come to work, and you expect him to travel for more than a month?

It's almost the same for more than a month!

If you're really going on a business trip, I'll eat this board on the spot!

Borgia was silent, silently reaching out to the chessboard.

"Smack!"

Al Hasson slapped Borgia's hand away without looking back, and then slowly turned to look at Borgia and sneered, "Dog, you still want to steal my chess?" I'll just say that I used to play chess with you so often remember the wrong position of the chess pieces, and my feelings were stolen by you, right?! ”

"What do you mean by stealing?"

Borgia snapped, "That's what you made me." ”

"Huh."

Old Neil watched the interaction between the two happily on the side, eager to grab another handful of melon seeds and watch the show slowly.

"The captain has become a deacon."

Old Neil explained with a smile, "So the memory is not as bad as it used to be." ”

After a pause, Old Neil suddenly sighed.

Dunn should be on the verge of promotion, right?

"Not worth mentioning."

Al Hasson shook his head and said modestly, "That's all I guess for my life, it's unrealistic to go up further, and I don't have the luxury of hope." ”

The deacons in Sequence 6 are second only to the thirteen archbishops and nine senior deacons in the Church of the Night.

But at this point, it's almost impossible to continue to be promoted.

"Indeed."

Ember nodded approvingly.

After being a deacon and still fishing in the headquarters, it can be seen that Al really has no big ambitions.

But there's nothing wrong with that, at least it's not dangerous.

Well, it doesn't work much.

Ember shook his head, and it seemed that nothing had gone wrong in the past month or so.

Otherwise, Al Hasson wouldn't have had such an attitude.

After thinking about it, Ember left the detective agency and turned to walk towards nearby Pesfield Street.

There is a pure black church with a bell tower on each side, presenting a symmetrical beauty.

It is the Church of the Goddess of the Night that the parish headquarters of Beckland is located, the Church of St. Samuel.

Step into the church and walk through the quiet corridors.

In the sunlight from a high place piercing the stained glass, you came to the Great Prayer Hall.

Maybe it's because the timing is wrong.

The large prayer hall in the afternoon was empty, and there was not a single believer.

Only Archbishop Anthony stood under the altar, smiling at the embers as they entered the prayer hall.

"Welcome back, Your Excellency."

"Archbishop Anthony."

Ember bowed slightly, didn't say too much greetings, and cut straight to the point, "Do you know how to be psychic?" ”

"A little."

Archbishop Anthony bowed slightly.

"So ......"

Ember palmed, and a glowing mass appeared in his palm.

That's Jakes' soul.

"The soul of a demigod?"

Archbishop Anthony's eyes twitched.

Her Highness Arianna only wants Her Excellency to go to sea for some time.

But he didn't expect that His Excellency's experience at sea during this time seemed to be much richer than he imagined!

"What do you want to ask?"

Anthony quickly hid his emotions and asked.

"Ask him who he is and why he attacked...... Well, the one who killed him. ”

“……”

Anthony's expression was a little odd, what is the problem?

What do you mean by 'why attack the man who killed him'?

"Who are you? Which side does it belong to? ”

Anthony took Jakes's soul and quickly turned it from a cloud of light into a pile of illusory and vague old figures, and asked calmly.

"Jakes, Sage of the Rose School."

"The Rose School."

Anthony's expression moved slightly, and then he asked, "Why did you attack the 'man who killed you'?" ”

"The demigod behind him has sent down a false oracle pretending to be my god, and I must kill him with my own hands!"

Jakes's soul suddenly trembled violently, and his face became a little hideous and distorted.

But soon, under Anthony's 'appeasement', his soul became calm and peaceful again.

But Anthony's mood was a little scary.

Although it is rare for demigods to pretend to be gods and falsely transmit oracles, it is not impossible.

However, that is limited to low-to-mid sequences.

There were indeed demigods who pretended to be gods, making those who were extraordinary in the middle and low ranks think that they had heard the oracle and mistakenly thought that they were the relatives of the gods, so as to achieve some kind of ulterior secret.

But it is simply impossible to deliver a false oracle to an extraordinary being who is also a demigod!

Don't say it's a demigod, not even an angel!

After all, they have already reached the level of demigods, so they can't even recognize their own gods, right?

The only one who can transmit false oracles can only be gods of the same level!

But why?

Why did he connect with Ember by sending false oracles down to the Rose School?

And why did Jax think it was a false oracle sent down by a demigod?

He's also a demigod in Sequence 3, isn't he stupid enough to be like this?

Anthony was full of questions, but instead of continuing to ask, he turned his gaze to Ember.

"Your Excellency, do you want to continue to ask?"

"Go on."

Ember nodded slightly, seemingly not minding that Anthony knew the contents of the oracle.

"What is an oracle?"

"Find the oracle with the ten rings and ask him to collect as many 22 blasphemous cards as possible, especially the moon card."

"And the second oracle, 'And the mother card.'"

"The second oracle?"

Anthony's expression moved slightly, "Why the second one?" ”

"There was a noticeable pause in the delivery of the oracle, and it took a few minutes for it to arrive."

The expression of Jakes's soul became hideous again, which was obviously the greatest humiliation of his life.

But under Anthony's 'appeasement', he regained his composure and continued to speak, "It is also because of the interval between the transmission of these two oracles that I have discovered the clues, so that I can pray to God in time and obtain verification, otherwise I would not be able to see through them." ”

"Your Excellency."

Archbishop Anthony's expression became extremely serious, and he said solemnly, "The 'Bound God' is the embodiment of the 'Mother Tree of Desire', and it is a real evil god. Being able to falsely convey an oracle in the name of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' could never be just an ordinary demigod, at least an evil god of the same level! ”

"Although the purpose of this evil god is not clear for the time being, it is likely that he wants to use His Excellency to achieve some unknown secrets, so it is best not to take this so-called 'oracle' to heart."

Ember nodded silently.

The Rose School believed in the 'Bound God', something Ember had known for a long time.

But the 'Bound God' is the embodiment of the 'Mother Tree of Desire', and this is the first time he has heard of it.

But compared to the evil god who pretended to spread the oracle in the name of the 'Mother Tree of Desire', Ember was more curious about another thing-

"Why are there so many minutes?"

Ember had doubts in his eyes.

When the second mate of the previous blood general came to deliver the message, he also said that the transmission of the oracle was intermittent.

But why does an oracle have to score twice?

It's obviously the same thing.

It can't be that the signal is bad, right?

Moreover, the 'Mother Tree of Desire' was given an oracle by other evil gods, and it was even necessary to wait until his own followers became suspicious and asked if there was such an oracle in order to confirm it.

If it weren't for that, I'm afraid he wouldn't have reacted to the fact that other evil gods were pretending to be him.

Isn't this evil god a little pulled?

Of course, it is also possible that the evil god who pretended to convey the oracle was stronger than the Mother Tree of Desire.

In the process of delivering the oracle, he also conveniently blinded the 'Mother Tree of Desire', so that he was unaware of it.

But.

Why did he pass on information through the 'Rose School', and why did he find him?

Or rather.

Does the evil god know him?

"Who do you think is impersonating the 'Bound God' to deliver the oracle?"

On the other side, Anthony's questioning continued.

"Moon!"

Jakes's spirit gave the answer without hesitation.

"When I prayed to my god for an answer, God sent down a true oracle!"

"The extraordinary one who cleanses all the moon paths within the Rose School, so it must be the demigod false oracle of the moon path within the Rose School!"

"It can't be a demigod, it can only be a god of the same level."

Anthony took a deep breath, drew a crimson moon on his chest, and said in a deep voice, "However, judging from his description, that evil god is most likely the 'primordial moon'!" ”

"The 'Primordial Moon' may have used these moon pathfinders who broke into the Rose School to secretly erode some of the authority belonging to the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."

"That's why 'he' was able to use this part of his authority to deliver a false oracle to Jakes, and at the same time successfully blinded the 'Mother Tree of Desire' perception of this matter."

After a pause, Anthony added, "The Primordial Moon and the Mother Tree of Desire are suspected mortal enemies. ”

With that, Anthony handed Jakes' soul back to Ember.

"There's one more."

Ember took Jakes' soul and, amid Anthony's strange gaze, pulled out another ball of light and handed it to Anthony.

Anthony took the light cluster with some confusion, and a vague phantus appeared from the light cluster.

Anthony's face changed almost instantly.

Because he recognized the owner of this spirit—

Deputy Chief of Major General of MI9, Chunas Korg.

Her Highness Arianna received instructions from the Goddess to send Her Excellency to the sea.

The purpose is to keep him away from matters related to the Black Emperor for a while.

And His Excellency has obviously stayed away from Beckland, but who would have thought that someone from the royal family would actually take the initiative to send it to the door!

After a moment's hesitation, Anthony chose to ask the question first.

"What's your name?"

"Chunas Korg."

Anthony was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Ember.

Ember reminded, "Ask him where the slaves were transported." ”

Anthony was silent for a moment, then repeated.

"Ruins No. 1, where anti-divination and prophecy are arranged."

"Where is that ruin?"

Not needing to be reminded by the embers, Anthony immediately asked.

"In ...... In the ......"

Chunas Korg's spirit suddenly trembled violently.

Even the light mass was expanding rapidly, as if it would explode at any moment.

Anthony changed color slightly, and immediately 'soothed' the soul of Lower Chunas.

After all, if the other party's soul explodes in his hands, it will be unclear!

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency."

Anthony returned his soul to Ember while apologizing, "His soul has been banned by powerful extraordinary, and I can't ask for more valuable information." ”

"I'm afraid it will take at least the Angel of Sequence 2 to get the answer you want from him."

"I suggest you can ask Her Highness Arianna for help when she arrives at Beckland, but until then, it's best not to find anyone else to try it at random."

"His soul is already extremely unstable, and the next inquiry will most likely dissipate directly because of the ban."

Anthony said, a flash of doubt in his eyes.

It stands to reason that the first time he was asked about touching the forbidden content, his soul would explode directly.

But His Excellency seems to have done some special treatment to make his soul more 'stable'.

However, if the prohibition is touched multiple times, it will still eventually cause its soul to die from the prohibition.

"Thank you."

Ember took the soul and thanked Anthony.

Anyway, at least there is a new development in his investigation-

Ruins of One.
