Those who know know that St. Anthony is a demigod and one of only a few demigods in Beckland - at least there are no more than five demigods who are officially affiliated with Beckland on the surface.

And those who do not know, also know that St. Anthony is the archbishop of the church of St. Samuel and the general head of the entire diocese of Beckland.

Throughout Beckland, all members of the Church of the Night are under his control.

It is no exaggeration to say that, to some extent, the influence and appeal of Archbishop St. Anthony is even higher than that of the royal family!

Councillor Mahet is almost certain that in the event of a conflict between the Church of the Night and the royal family, the vast majority of the people will undoubtedly side with the Church of the Night. After all, the royal family is only the ruler, and the Church of the Night is faith!

Under the enormous influence of the Church of the Night, the position of Archbishop St. Anthony is not equal to that of the king, but at least above the prince.

Councillor Macht's family were devout Night Cultists, but when they went to the church of St. Samuel to pray, they were only received by Bishop Elektra. As for the Archbishop of St. Anthony, it was only accessible to nobles above the rank of marquis or even duke!

In the same way, it is the same as the Episcopal Church of Elektra who regularly visits their home. Archbishop St. Anthony also regularly visits those high-ranking nobles, and these nobles are either dukes or marquises, or like Earl Hall, although the title is not high, but the influence and status are enough to be equal to the duke!

And now, in the mouth of Bishop Elektra, Ember is also a nobleman who is qualified to take the initiative to visit Archbishop St. Anthony, doesn't that mean that his status and influence are equal to those marquis and even dukes?

Congressman Makht didn't dare to do it too obviously, but vaguely looked at the embers on the side with his afterglow, and set off a storm in his heart:

"The title is only a viscount, but it is enough to be compared with the likes of marquises, dukes, etc. Either his family, like Earl Hall, has a strong economic power, with a total fortune of tens of millions of gold pounds. ”

"But it's unlikely, and if that's the case, there's no way such a figure would be inconspicuous in Beckland."

"Then there is only one other possibility, the other party's family has been in a high position for generations!"

"Neither the House of Lords nor the House of Commons have heard of this person, and this Viscount Black is from Wintershire. In other words, the other party's family is in a high position in the Night Church, and maybe a senior deacon or even an archbishop of the Night Church is a member of his family! ”

Congressman Makht already had a speculation in his mind, but this speculation did not surprise him, but worried him.

To be sure, the status of members of the House of Commons is far inferior to that of the nobility.

The aristocracy was mostly hereditary, and their descendants could naturally inherit the titles of their fathers. As long as you don't make mistakes of principle such as treason and rebellion, this inheritance can continue until the fall of the Kingdom of Rune, and it is a real sense of peace with the country!

Similarly, most nobles naturally had access to seats in the House of Lords, and such seats were almost hereditary.

The House of Commons, on the other hand, was originally conceived as a way to co-opt and appease civilians who had certain property but no real status.

The House of Lords is responsible for making decisions on national affairs, and the House of Commons is responsible for proposing bills, but it does not have decision-making power. In other words, the House of Commons is only responsible for putting forward opinions, and whether it is adopted or not depends on what the nobles of the House of Lords think.

Unlike the hereditary Lords nobility, the House of Commons is elected every five years. Many parliamentarians only serve five-year terms, as they are likely to be outfitted by others.

Of course, with the ascension of George III, the king has been deliberately suppressing the House of Lords and the nobility and strengthening the authority of the House of Commons. Anyone can see clearly that the king is worried that the power of the nobility is too great and threatens the royal family, so he hopes to check and balance the upper house through the House of Commons.

But to put it bluntly, the House of Commons is also a tool.

Even if it seemed like there was a chance to wrestle with the nobles of the House of Lords, it was only a temporary illusion.

Sure enough, with the sudden death of George III on the New Year's Day, the new King George IV was the logical successor.

And perhaps George IV was naturally close to the aristocracy, coupled with his young age and lack of political experience, or perhaps because George IV had just registered, his foundation was unstable, and he urgently needed the support of the aristocracy.

All in all, the new king did not hesitate to abandon the House of Commons. Not only did he restore the authority of the House of Lords, but he also promised great benefits to the nobles, in contrast to the House of Commons, which was suppressed and snubbed.

Most of the members of the House of Commons who had responded to George III's call to call for aristocrats to their faces were liquidated. Councillor Makht, on the other hand, survived this reckoning because he was born in the army, and because he was inextricably linked to the aristocracy, and had a close relationship with the nobility.

And with his accumulated connections, MP Makht is also confident that he will be re-elected in the election. And by virtue of his status as a member of the House of Commons, MP Makht has always felt that his status is comparable to that of a baron.

Therefore, the parliamentarian Makht did not consider his daughter's marriage to a viscount. Even if this viscount's situation is a little down, he may be able to help one or two, which is mutually beneficial.

But in this current situation, Viscount Black is obviously not a down-and-out nobleman, but a powerful nobleman who is enough to rank with the top nobles!

"I can't climb high!"

Councillor Makht sighed in his heart, and looked at his daughter with a surprised and curious face, feeling a little helpless. He only hoped that it was still too late, that the brief exchange had not made Hazel fall in love.

While Congressman Makht was looking at the embers with his afterglow, Klein was also looking at Councillor Mahert with his afterglow.

As a Faceling, although Klein does not have the ability to see into the heart of the 'audience', he can also see the change in Congressman Mahert's attitude, and can somewhat understand his concerns. But that's okay, after all, their target was never Miss Hazel, but the demigod behind her.

At this moment, another voice came from behind several people:

"Your Excellency, Bishop."

Crane turned around to find two young men walking towards them with glasses of champagne.

One of them wears a black trench coat, black hair and green eyes, slightly long hair, and a very unkempt hairstyle, which looks messy and unruly, but has a strange beauty. He is quite good-looking, has a handsome appearance that can be on the cover of a magazine, comparable to that of the Blood, and has a temperament like a romantic poet. None other than the poet classmate, Leonard Mitchell!

The other is also quite good-looking, with flaxen hair, dark brown eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips.

Mobert Zoroaster, an old acquaintance of Klein. It's just that at this time, he didn't do the weird dress of the quaternary asymmetrical aesthetics, but honestly wore a black double-breasted dress, and his arrogant temperament was naturally revealed.

Klein resisted the urge to cover his face, how could this be all acquaintances?

He and MP Makht are neighbors, and it was only natural that he would come to this dinner.

But why are you two here?

Aren't you one living on Pinster Street and the other on Pesfield Street? These two places are not far from Berklund Street, but they are definitely not neighbors! Who invited you?

Klein subconsciously set his eyes on Bishop Elektra, and at the moment only this bishop was the most suspicious.

Bishop Elektra lived up to his expectations, smiling and introducing:

"Let me introduce you."

"Leonard Mitchell, Mobert Soros, both of whom are devout followers of the Goddess. Mr. Soros has only recently come to Beckland from the South, and perhaps you know Mr. Dantès. ”

Crane smiled and raised his glass:

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, the South may not be as prosperous as Beckland, but it must be much larger than Beckland, and not all people from the South are acquaintances."

Don't you know each other? They had also hunted dragons and pirate generals together, and even the start-up capital was obtained from the blood generals.

But on such occasions, he would not admit it in any case. After all, Leonard was there, and he didn't want to be suspected.

Of course, even if you are suspected, it is nothing. He didn't want to disrupt the Night Church anyway, and the poet classmates wouldn't tell that he was Klein Moretti just by his acquaintance with Mobet.

Mobet also raised his glass in response, and said with a smile:

"Then we'll have to talk about it, where is Mr. Dantès from?"

"County Diece." Klein responded with a smile.

"Such a coincidence? I'm also from Desey, but I've spent most of my time in the Southland. ”

"Oh? I've done some business there and have some knowledge of the Southern Continent as well. ”

"Really? Then we'll have to have a good talk. ”

The two talked happily and unconsciously moved away from the crowd.

Until the corner where no one was around, Mobet asked with a surprised expression:

"Why are you here?"

"I want to ask you."

Klein asked angrily, observed the crowd quietly, and replied:

"I am neighbors with Congressman Macht."

Mobet took a sip of champagne, his eyes wandered over the crowd, and said:

"Councillor Mahert's family celebrated Mass at St. Samuel's church last weekend."

"I happened to be there, and so was Leonard."

"I noticed at that time that this Miss Hazel was a little unusual, with a certain unique temperament."

"To be honest, I was so attracted to her that I asked Bishop Elektra to bring me to the dinner."

Mobet said it was quite vague, but Klein suddenly heard his subtext-

Last weekend, Congressman Mahert's family celebrated Mass at St. Samuel's church, and Mobert and Leonard happened to be present. It is likely that the grandfather in Leonard's body discovered the anomaly in Hazel's body, she is not only an extraordinary person who steals the way, but also probably has traces left by a high-ranking extraordinary person on her body.

And it just so happens that Mobet needs to be promoted to Sequence 4, and he is missing a copy of the extraordinary traits of Sequence 4.

And as the ancestor of Mobet, the grandfather in Leonard's body will definitely not be stingy to help him. Even if this angel suffered a heavy blow in Amon's hunt, it was not comparable to the demigods, and it was not easy to hunt down a demigod who was a thief, but at least it was easy to capture.

And Hazel, who was exposed under their noses, became a 'pathway' to perhaps the extraordinary properties of Sequence 4.

It's just that the 'old man' at that time should not be able to determine where the demigod is, so he will let Leonard and Mobet come to the dinner party to make further confirmations.

In other words, the purpose of both of them is actually the same.

The corners of Klein's eyes twitched slightly, he took a sip of pale golden champagne, and said:

"Then it's up to each other."

"Huh?"

Mobet raised an eyebrow, looked Klein up and down, and said in a slightly joking tone:

"I really didn't see it, you're so old, you still have this kind of mind?"

Crane glanced at him, and this was asking him why an extraordinary person of the Diviner Path would want the extraordinary properties of Sequence 4 of the Stealer Path? Not to mention that these two paths are interchangeable, he can seamlessly switch to the thief path without worrying about the risk of getting out of control.

What's more, this demigod is not his target either.

Crane shook his head and said:

"It's not me, it's him."

Mobet raised an eyebrow slightly, and turned his gaze to Ember, who was having a good conversation with the Miss Hazel - more specifically, the Miss Hazel seemed to be very curious about Ember and kept chasing him to ask questions, while Ember's attitude, although not cold and impatient, was also a question and answer, and seemed to be indifferent to this Miss Hazel.

He's interested in the demigods of the Stealer Path? Could it be that he is also a thief? Is there such a coincidence? And the other party's ability doesn't seem to have anything to do with the thief's path, right?

Even if there is a connection, Ember is at least an angel above Sequence 2-

After all, the existence of the demigods who can hunt the Church of War Church in Sequence 3 in a short period of time is only an angel above Sequence 2.

And if the other party is already an angel, why do you need a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 4?

After a few minutes of pleasantries, Crane and Mobet separated.

Mobet walked up to Leonard, who was observing the crowd alone in the corner, and the poet classmate also took the initiative to ask:

"You know?"

"Sort of."

Mobet did not give a detailed answer directly, but spoke:

"Dantès's friends seem to be interested in Miss Hazel as well."

"Huh?"

Leonard looked thoughtfully at Ember, who he knew was also a night watchman in the Night Church, and his identity was mysterious.

It's not a red glove, but it's above the red glove.

It wasn't surprising that he was interested in the Sequence 4 demigod.

The question is, is he interested in bringing the demigod to justice, or is it for some purpose of his own?

Leonard lowered his voice and said as if muttering:

"What do you think, old man?"

Leonard waited for a long time, but the slightly old voice in his head never sounded.
