Seeing that the old man didn't make a sound, Leonard's heart suddenly tightened - he wasn't worried that something had happened to the old man, after all, he was parasitic in his body. If something really happens, the first one to have an accident should be him, the host.

He wasn't worried about the old man's situation, after all, it wasn't the first time that the old man had pretended to be missing like he was now.

What really makes Leonard nervous is the reason why the old man pretends to be missing!

In the past, the reason why the old man would pretend to be missing was often because he needed to be close to or even enter and exit Chanis Gate often as a night watchman.

And Chanismen is the embodiment of the authority of the goddess of the night, even if the old man is an angel in sequence 1, even the archbishop and the senior deacon can't see his 'parasiticism', but he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the goddess.

And now that the old man no longer responds to his call, it means that the old man thinks that there is someone in this dinner party who is beyond his expectations. The old man must have thought that the other party could find out about his existence, so he didn't dare to speak out, for fear of being discovered!

And such an existence will definitely not be lower than the old man in the sequence!

"Is it Amon?"

A chilling guess popped up in Leonard's mind.

'Blasphemer' Amun!

The old man once mentioned that he was hiding from a high-ranking person with the surname Amon. It was precisely because the old man was severely injured by the other party that he had to parasitize into his body.

Could it be that Amun was among the guests at this banquet? Or maybe one of them has Amun in his body?

"No, it shouldn't be."

Leonard took a deep breath to calm himself down.

If it was really Amun, then this angel named Amon must have some way to sense or detect the existence of the old man, otherwise the old man would not need to hide from him all the time.

And if this is the case, then there is no need for the old man to hide, it is a better choice to fight to the death.

Not to mention.

The old man was afraid of the goddess, afraid of the Night Church, and since the angel named Amon had not yet become a god, it was impossible for him to be unafraid of the goddess. This is the North District, not far from St. Samuel's Church. Even if the other party finds the old man, there is a high probability that he will not dare to do it here.

Otherwise, it will only be a competition between the snipe and the clam and the profit of the fisherman.

In other words, the being in this banquet should not be Amun.

But if you can make the old man jealous, it means that the other party is at least an earthly angel. And since the old man chose to hide himself, it means that he has a certain degree of certainty that the other party will not be able to find him.

With that in mind, Leonard's peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of Mobet walking towards him.

Mobet took a glass of champagne from the waiter's hand and suddenly asked:

"How?"

Leonard's expression remained unchanged and he asked rhetorically:

"How's that?"

"Huh?"

Mobet raised a frown, but soon realized the reason, and the old man did not reply to him.

Why don't you even reply to the object of parasitism?

Either the state is so bad that it can't be recovered, or there are external factors. And the old man, as an angel, must be at least an angel to influence his existence.

Coincidentally, Mobet happened to know an angel.

Excluding all impossibilities, the remaining answer, no matter how outrageous, is the only truth.

"It's going to be a problem."

Mobet was a little helpless in his heart, he only knew that Ember was an angel, but he didn't expect that even the old man was afraid of him.

Doesn't this mean that Ember is not the Sequence 2 he had in mind, but an angel at least Sequence 1?

And unlike a half-crippled angel like the old man, Ember is obviously in its heyday, so it's no wonder that the old man is afraid and doesn't dare to show up.

Mobet reminded vaguely:

"Don't worry, I know that Mr. Black, we're friends."

Leonard immediately understood Mobet's hint - Mobert knew that Ash was an angel, and the person the old man was afraid of might be Ash Black!

The voice of vicissitudes sounded in Leonard's head:

"There's an air of antiquity about him."

"An extraordinary being who has lived for a long time?" Leonard muttered under his breath.

The old man suddenly replied to him now, which means that Mobet's guess is correct, and the old man is indeed afraid of Ash Black!

The slightly old voice said in a deep voice:

"Ancient and deadly, I have a hunch that even in my heyday, I will not be his match."

Leonard stiffened slightly as he raised his hand, but quickly regained his composure and brought the champagne to his lips and took a sip.

The old man's evaluation is very high, but Leonard doesn't have any real feelings-

Because whether it is the angel of Sequence 2 or the angel of Sequence 1, it does not make much difference to him.

Anyway, it's an existence that can crush him to ashes with a single hand.

His focus now was on the phrase that Mobet had just said, 'I know that Mr. Black, too'.

"What do you mean you know too?"

Leonard's eyes narrowed, he knew Ember, to be exact, he had seen both sides.

The first time was in Tingen, when Al Hasson led a team of Nightwatchers to escort Seal '2-049' to Tingen to assist them in their pursuit of Riel Bieber, including Ash Black.

This time the other party only stayed for one day, and the next day returned to Beckland with the seal '2-049' and the Antigonus family notes.

The second meeting was not long ago, when they passed each other in the underground area of the church.

The other man seemed to have an urgent need to enter the Chanis Gate, and he had just left from there.

At that time, he seemed to have asked the old man's opinion, and the old man's reaction at that time was ......

Leonard's expression was a little confused at first, and then became a little frightened, his pupils shrank sharply, and he asked in a deep voice:

"You moved my memory?"

Parles Zoroaster said angrily:

"I'm doing it for your own good, if I really mean to steal your memories, do you think you'll find out?"

Leonard was silent, for he knew the old man was telling the truth. If an angel really has the heart to do something, it is impossible for him to find out the clues, let alone make him recall this memory that was 'stolen'.

And the reason why the old man did this was out of fear of Ash Black, and the old man's reaction last time was the best proof of this.

But Leonard didn't understand, why would the old man be afraid to be like this?

And why do you have to erase his memory, is it dangerous to even learn information related to the other party?

But if that's the case, then why did the old man 'return' this memory again.

Could it be that because they met again, this 'precautionary' has lost its meaning?

Leonard was silent for a long time and asked:

"So what do we do now?"

Parles was silent for a long time, and sighed faintly:

"Let's enjoy the dinner."

Leonard was silent, just shook his head vaguely at Mobet on the side.

When the old man said this, he gave up on tracking down the demigod behind Hazel, and they couldn't compete with Dantès's friend.

Mobet shrugged, but he didn't feel much of it.

If you don't have a chance, you don't have a chance, and this kind of thing can't be forced.

If you really can't do it, you can find a way to collect extraordinary materials by yourself, and slow down.

After a few more minutes, Councillor Macht apologized, led his wife Liana to the staircase, went up to the second floor, and held up a glass of red wine at the fence facing the gate:

"Thank you for attending this ball, and first of all, let us praise the gods, who are the source of all goodness."

He and Lady Liana immediately tapped four times on their chests and whispered praises to the goddess, and the guests each praised the gods they believed in their own ways - most of the people here were followers of the goddess of the night, and even Mobet pretended to give a few taps on his chest.

Congressman Makht still held his glass, did not put it down, and continued with a smile:

"Second, praise the Kingdom, which is the cornerstone of stability."

"Praise the Kingdom."

Crane raised his glass of champagne and followed the guests around him.

Then, Councillor Macht looked around and asked humorously:

"Finally, what shall we praise?"

Klein's thought moved, and he laughed loudly:

"Praise Beckland for the better air."

Councillor Makht was stunned for a moment, and replied with an uncontrollable smile:

"Very good, this offer is good. Let's praise Beckland's improved air, our symbol of a better life, cheers! ”

Controlling air pollution has always been his political philosophy as a member of the House of Commons, and he has always promoted the formulation of corresponding bills on various occasions and played a significant role in improving the environment, so praising Beckland's improved air quality is tantamount to praising him, and it is more subtle and above board.

The guests responded enthusiastically and drank the alcoholic beverages in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, Councillor Makht took Mrs. Liana's hand and went down to the hall on the first floor, where she danced the opening dance to a soft melody.

Klein walked over to Ember and asked with a hint of teasing:

"Aren't you going to ask her for a dance?"

Ember looked along Crane's realization, saw Hézel standing at the edge of the hall, and spoke:

"Not on her."

Klein raised his eyebrows slightly, which was not surprising.

The Hazel family was a councillor and had regular visits from the bishop. And the Night Church must have a way to find and restrain the parasite, and if that demigod parasitizes Hazel, it is likely that the Night Church will find out.

After all, not every 'parasite' is an angel, and he can't be like the old grandfather in the poet's classmate, and he is sure enough that he will not be exposed.

Klein took a sip of champagne and said:

"Even if it's not on her, it's not too much to dance, right?"

At the edge of the hall, Hazel Macht watched with a glass of white wine and a slightly detached smile as the men locked on to their partners and prepared to dance – but she was the exception, and no one took the initiative to invite her.

It's not that Hazel isn't pretty enough, in all fairness, this young lady is actually very good-looking, atmospheric and feminine, she should be the star of the ball, and everyone is vying to invite her to dance, but her condescending and arrogant attitude makes the men who set their eyes on her shift their goals.

This arrogance did not stem from her father's status as a member of parliament, after all, there were also nobles and other members of parliament at this dinner, and it was not necessarily inferior to Congressman Makht in terms of status.

What really makes Hazel feel superior from the bottom of her heart is her own strength and her identity as an extraordinary person. Klein has seen many similar extraordinary beings, who think that they are no longer ordinary and have a strong sense of superiority in the face of ordinary people.

It's not surprising that strength is always inflated.

The more ignorant people are, the more they feel that they are 'different' and the more proud they are.

But here's the problem, this is Beckland!

Miss 'Justice' is also a native of Beckland, and she is also a noble lady with a more noble status than Hazel!

And even Miss 'Justice' knew that the Extraordinary was not so easy to be, and she had enough channels to become an official Extraordinary, but she did not choose this path, but chose the potion formula from the Tarot Society in exchange for the 'audience' path.

And until now, Miss 'Justice' has been well disguised, and almost no one has discovered her extraordinary identity.

Similarly, Miss 'The Magician' and Miss 'Judgment' are in Beckland, and they are both wild extraordinaires. Although Klein has never seen them in reality, it can be judged from their words and deeds on weekdays that they are extremely cautious in their daily actions, for fear of being discovered by the official extraordinary—this is also the survival method of most wild extraordinary.

Even Miss Sharon, a Sequence 5 extraordinaire who is just one step away from a demigod, usually acts in an extremely low-key manner.

The more arrogant Hazel became, the more ignorant she became.

The ignorant are fearless.

But since it was a demigod who led her on the path of the Extraordinary, how could she teach such an ignorant student?

Didn't the demigod tell Miss Hazel the common sense of how to survive?

Moreover, as an extraordinary person in the 'thief' path, you can guess how to play it from the name of the potion, and how can Hazel play the role of 'thief' and 'trickster' with such a haughty appearance?

It's hard to imagine what kind of person can teach such a student.

There are only two possibilities, one is that the demigod does not know how to play, and his own attitude is extremely arrogant, and it is this arrogance that affects Hazel. But this possibility is very small, after all, it is difficult for an extraordinary person who has always been 'arrogant' and does not know how to play to become a demigod alive, and it is likely that he will lose control and die when he is promoted because he can't complete the role halfway.

And the second possibility is that the demigod didn't plan to train Hazel as a student in the first place.

The reason why it led her to the path of the extraordinary is that she is most likely regarded as a parasitic object.

Although because of the existence of the Night Church, the other party did not dare to parasitize Hazel at will.

But when Hazel's sequence is higher, the other party may directly parasitize Hazel and run away.

Crane couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little pity for this Miss Hézel in his heart.

He's a poor man.

Fortunately, the old man in the poet's body is not this kind of person, otherwise he would not have allowed the poet's classmate to become a 'sleepless person'.

Ember also took a sip of champagne and said slowly:

"There's no need for that, and tonight should be our last contact."

Crane didn't know how Ember was sure, but he could hear his subtext - because he could find the demigod tonight, he didn't need to continue to contact Hazel.

But, is that really the case?
