After some time since the Viscount's mansion was reduced to ashes in a fire, the murderer had indeed disappeared as Schugg had said after cutting off one of the arms of the Smoky Human, and no more nobles had been killed.

As for the killer who was easily killed by the real murderer and took advantage of the chaos to try to take out Viscount Nick.

After searching through various intelligence networks, the hiding place where the body stayed before his death was found.

According to further investigation, some clues of Seventan's spies were accidentally found there.

In the end, it was concluded that the guy who tried to kill Viscount Nick was a man who tried to take advantage of the appearance of the royal city to hunt down the smoky humanoid of the nobles, and take advantage of the opportunity to cause even more chaos in Alestra.

This only ruled out the possibility that the real identity of the black smoke humanoid was Severant, and made the identity of this guy who killed several nobles but still not been arrested become confusing.

……

Wang Yu sat at the wooden table and looked at the recent information that Edward had helped bring in.

It is very clear that because of the black substance on the surface of the black smoke humanoid body with special obscuring and detecting properties, the royal family, which has failed to investigate in many ways, has listed believers who believe in the Night Lady with similar hidden powers as the object of suspicion.

Although it is not explicitly targeted, the secret exclusion and suppression of the faith of the Night Lady is being staged, and the place where missionary work was originally allowed is watched by the city guards and some noble guards, and the spread of the Night Lady's faith is no longer allowed.

"The guys from the Noble Investigation Team couldn't find a target, and they pointed the finger at the Night Church."

Wang Yu's fingers tapped on several key points on the information in front of him, and he muttered to himself while thinking slightly in his heart.

There is no basis for the royal family's approach, and the black smoke humanoid, which has no theoretical support at all, but only seems to have some similarities with the power of the Night Lady, is forcibly associated with the Night Church.

This is targeted for no reason, but the royal family is the authority in Alestale, although Wang Yu is a little unhappy, there is nothing he can do.

There is no news yet from Shadow of Intramural, but according to Edward, it is not only the Lady of the Night cult on the Grounds of Intracity who has been targeted, but there have also been some fresh faces hanging around the underground gathering place of Shadow of Intramura recently.

It has not been directly targeted at the Night Church, but all aspects have already put pressure on it, which is really a big obstacle to the spread of the Night Lady's faith.

"The most troublesome thing is the inside of the Night Blade, the royal family has recently made a lot of moves against the power of the Night Blade to maintain order in the royal city without much control over the free movement before, including a side-by-side investigation of the number of followers of the Night Lady, and a probe of the effect of the "Prayer Communication Network" on spiritual pollution. ”

Wang Yu made a summary based on the information given by Edward.

"I don't understand, a lady of the night's faith is in the way of the royal family? As for the waste to target it so hard? Wang Yu sighed, very irritable.

"Wang Yu, it may be because of the inscription of "Heavenly Darkness", which was carved by the royal family with the help of the Night's Blade. ”

Avia, who was sitting opposite Wang Yu and listening to Wang Yu's information, reminded Wang Yu.

"Really...... ...... true"

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to go in for a while, but after Avia reminded him, he immediately reacted.

He had never taken the "prayer communication network" seriously before, resisting spiritual pollution and making it easy for believers to connect, and this was the use he could think of.

Even though Shuguein has repeatedly emphasized that the "Prayer Communication Network" is something that can bring about change to the Night's Blade, he only thinks that it means a lot to the Night's Edge by avoiding mental pollution.

But Avia reminded her, and Wang Yu also figured out the meaning of "change" in Xiu Geyin's mouth, in addition to ignoring the huge effect of spiritual pollution.

The Prayer Network helped Nightblade break a shackle, a shackle that the royal family had given them.

The "Heavenly Darkness" mark, which could have been used to cause the members of the Night's Edge to be traumatized by mental contamination and turned into waste, was rendered useless under the influence of the "Prayer Communication Network".

The royal family has lost an important means of targeting this organization with power that cannot be ignored and has a certain detachment, the Blade of the Night, and this uncontrollability is not tolerated by the royal family.

And now the kingdom still needs the Night's Blade, and it also needs these people who are fighting for the kingdom, so they can't do anything directly against the Night's Blade.

The royal family can only find other ways to weaken the influence and role of the "Prayer Communication Network" in the Night's Blade.

"Damn, no wonder you have to deal with the faith of the Night Lady, the persimmon picks and pinches like this."

Breathing, Wang Yu clenched his fist, his knuckles crackled, the trouble of staying in Wangcheng became more and more, and the idea of leaving Wangcheng to go elsewhere became stronger and stronger.

"Da Da Da, squeak~" Wang Yu just thought about something, and there was the sound of the cart and horses quickly stepping on the ground outside the door, and the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground when they stopped.

Eyes met with the girl sitting opposite, the two nodded tacitly, at this time will come to visit, and there should be only one who does not need to communicate with him......

The door was knocked gently, not in a hurry, with an unhurried peace, Wang Yu got up, walked to the door, and pulled the door open.

"Your Excellency Wang Yu, Ms. Avia, hello, I'm sorry for the presumptuousness, but there are indeed some things I want to confirm with you."

A gentle and tranquil female voice came from outside the door, and the words were very soft, with an ethereal feeling, which made the listener naturally relax.

"Come in, Miss Céline, are you alone?"

Appearing at the door was a rather well-dressed lady, with her hair of a peculiar azure color, long and smooth, draped below the shoulders and bound with elaborate ornaments.

Wearing a gauze lined gown, the soft and delicate material on the outside also shimmers with bright points of light, I don't know what was used to complete it, so that it has some elegant colors.

With fair skin, translucent and delicate face, this is definitely a beautiful woman, not the kind of youthful beauty, but an extremely temperamental, mature and charming beauty.

His eyes were closed, and he never opened them when he was talking to Wang Yu or when he was walking close to the door, which made it even more difficult to guess, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people an easy-going meaning.

And the one who came to visit Wang Yu at this time could only be one person who was dressed like this, the astrologer of the royal family, Selene, which was also mentioned by the civil official and Wang Yu, but I didn't expect to come to visit so soon.

"It's just me, after all, this visit to His Excellency Wang Yu is just like chatting to understand some things, so there is no need to bring any guards or anything like that."

Céline closed her eyes and spoke softly and gently.

These words reveal a kind of absolute confidence in his own strength, the astrologer Seren, the status and ability of this person, to be the target of the king's subordinates closest to the king, the treasure, the military minister, etc., this self-confidence is also deserved.

"Please sit, the house is not big, and it is also negligent in hospitality." Wang Yu pulled out a chair from under the wooden table and motioned for the astrologer Selene to sit down, while he sat down with Avia, opposite Celine.

"Is there anything you need to tell this little man that Lady Seren is coming to visit me?" Wang Yu asked quite politely.

Selene gently covered the corners of her slightly upturned mouth with her hand, looking unusually ladylike, and responded with a slight smile.

"His Excellency Wang Yu is not a small person, a member of the Night Blade Special Operations Group, a general captain, an archbishop of the Night Church, and at least a viscount,...... It's not a small person anymore. ”

As a few treasures, Selene told some of Wang Yu's identities, whether they were secret or not.

Wang Yu didn't show much shock, but raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't have any hope that these identities could be kept secret, he had never underestimated the royal family's intelligence gathering ability, and now it seems that this is the case.

"Compared to you and my captain, they're really just a small person." Wang Yu said politely again.

"Haha, Your Excellency Wang Yu is really a humble gentleman, I admire you very much, this time I came to get acquainted with His Excellency Wang Yu, a very potential existence, and then get to know His Excellency Wang Yu a little."

With a chuckle, Selene expressed her optimism about Wang Yu, her eyes were still not open, but Wang Yu's keen intuition from her strong five senses had already felt the gaze.

"Well, there is no special meaning, I just want to learn something about His Excellency Wang Yu as a friend."

"My words, maybe Your Excellency Wang Yu also knows something special about me, about what I hear others tell me, the stars will tell me the truth or falsehood."

"So, as a friend, I hope that it is better to be honest with each other between His Excellency Wang Yu and me, after all, I will be very sad if I know that His Excellency Wang Yu lied to me."

The still peaceful tone, but the aggressiveness in it had already made Wang Yu sneer in his heart.

"What kind of friend is this, it's my bad luck to have a friend like you."

However, Wang Yu still maintained a respectful appearance on his face, and his eyes were extremely sincere.

"Of course, how could I deceive the esteemed lady astrologer."

"It's a pleasure to have your friendship, and I would like to ask if you are the creator of the Prayer Communication Network. ”

The words suddenly took on a sense of incomprehension, which made Selene feel a sense of distance, obviously in front of her, but the words seemed to come from a very distant place, very high, it was above the sky, the starry sky......

When Wang Yu looked at Se Lin with sincere eyes, Se Lin's eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, it was difficult to describe those eyes, they were very beautiful, extremely beautiful, Wang Yu must admit that the beauty of those eyes was amazing.

Well, it's a lot like the kind of flowery stuff sold in the grocery store of the earth with a bunch of diamond powder glass balls in it.

You have to forgive Wang Yu's ability to describe is so bad, in short, in his opinion, this is the feeling, a person can grow his eyes like this, in Wang Yu's opinion, it is also quite "beautiful".

Unlike Avia's clear and clear eyes, which were as clear as a blue sky, Selene's eyes staring into Wang Yu's eyes were incomprehensible.

The twinkling stars in it, combined with the background color of the special dark purple eyeballs, made it feel as if there were two stars in the eyes of this lady, deep and distant.

The feeling of being watched by these eyes, there is always an illusion that the soul is being sucked into it, which is also the evaluation of this astrologer by all the beings who have faced Celine, and the gaze of the soul is deep enough to be able to see through the false eyes.

At this moment, these extremely special pair of bright star pupils were looking at Wang Yu, with dark eyes, waiting for Wang Yu to say his answer.

"Is it different from other powers of magic, void, and fighting spirit, this is the first time I have seen it, the source of these powers is the starry sky? Astrologer, that's where the name comes from? ”

Wang Yu was silent for a moment, thinking in his heart, he didn't have the feeling of being seen through the soul, just a gaze, so what else, just look at it, and it won't lose a piece of meat, no, some subtent may really be able to do it.

What he felt was something transmitted from the ripples around him, some special power enveloped him, this was a power he had never felt, not magic, not fighting spirit, and it had nothing to do with the void, this power, from the top of his head, the starry sky?

It was daytime, the sun was high, and the stars were not visible, but the stars were still hanging there, whether they could be seen or not.

And at this moment, above the starry sky, which was obscured by the sun, I don't know if it was someone's illusion, it seemed that one eye seemed to have opened, and it seemed that it looked like an eye just because of the arrangement of the stars.

But in any case, these eyes are so, dark, hollow, like a pit without a bottom, endless, and every time you happen to see its existence, you will feel yourself falling into it, carrying out an endless fall.

And this "eye" looked in one direction, saw through something, saw the ground......

"What's watching me? staring at the starry sky, but I always felt that I wasn't looking at me, but I swept it straight away, and I didn't know what it meant. ”

Wang Yu pondered silently in his heart, he could feel a kind of gaze, but this gaze always felt that it was not aimed at him, but swept over him when he was looking for something, ignoring him.

"No, I am not the creator of the Prayer Communication Network. Wang Yu responded without the slightest hesitation.

"Really?" The pair of "bright" eyes glanced at Wang Yu again, and Wang Yu looked calm.

"Well, it seems that His Excellency Wang Yu, as a friend, has no intention of deceiving me." Closing her eyes, Céline nodded with a smile on her face.

"Then I won't bother too much, it's a lot of trouble to come uninvited today, and staying here will also cause trouble to His Excellency Wang Yu."

Rising, Celine seemed very satisfied with her reply, got up and apologized for her uninvited behavior, and then prepared to leave.

"Why, no matter how many times Miss Selene comes, we will welcome it." Wang Yu also got up and politely prepared to send off the guests.

"Goodbye, I will bring Lili to visit Mr. Wang Yu when I have time in the future." With a wave of her hand, Celine turned and walked to the door.

"Goodbye." Wang Yu also waved his hand.

"Wait, I don't think I've talked to Miss Avia, that's a little rude."

Celine, who had reached the door, suddenly turned her head, her eyes had already opened, and she looked at the girl who had been listening silently on the side without warning.

"Miss Avia, do you know who the creator of the Prayer Communication Network is? ”

Plain and soft interrogative sentences, but under the influence of those strange eyes, they changed their taste.

"Me? I do not know. ”

The girl pointed to herself, as if wondering why she had been asked, and then shook her head in confusion, indicating that she knew nothing about it.

"Ah, that's fine, don't bother anymore, goodbye everyone."

Céline's eyes closed again, and she turned her head a second time and walked out the door, this time, without an abrupt return gaze.

"Peng." The door is gently closed, separating the inside and outside of the house.

"Smack." Wang Yu quickly sat down, supported the little mage who fell down softly next to him, his hand provided support for the girl's back, and there was a wet touch from his five fingers, I don't know when, Avia's back shirt was already soaked with sweat.

"Huhu ......" The girl's rapid gasp sounded in the room, and it slowly calmed down after Wang Yu held her up and let the girl lean on his shoulder.

"I ...... I felt like I was being watched by something, either a sense of fear, or a feeling of simply being oppressed by power, which made me almost breathless, and ...... Fortunately, the spiritual protection you gave me, Wang Yu, still can't be penetrated. ”

The girl's words were a little stumbling, and she was still adjusting her state.

Wang Yu didn't speak, just held Avia's hand lightly in his palm.

"The power of the starry sky...... There are still too many chaotic forces in this world, but this should be considered a pass. ”
