Chapter 19: Angry Mr. A
"Falls, what do you mean by this letter from Mr. Anthony, why have we not even been going to that party lately, and advised us to move?"
Early in the morning, Hugh took the newspaper and mail taken out of the mailbox at the door, and asked with some confusion after opening it.
Firth frowned, who had just come out of the bathroom, took the mail from Hugh's hand, read it carefully, and did not speak, but immediately took the newspaper and scanned the information on it.
"'Righteous Heroes'?"
Looking at the photos and messages of the deceased released in the newspaper, Furth tugged at the corners of his mouth.
This is not the first time she has seen such information in the newspapers.
"You're saying that Mr. Anthony is the 'Righteous Hero'?"
Hugh was not a fool either, and she vaguely guessed something when she saw that the photograph of the deceased in the newspaper was exactly the same as that of a man without a hood at the party.
Foirth nodded a little heavily, but was much better at the sight of the cheque for a hundred pounds that had come with the mail.
"Let's go, since Mr. Anthony said so, there must be a reason for him, let's be cautious."
Although they moved frequently, the house had only been lived in for less than two months, much to Hugh's and Forth's regret.
Because they're paying a quarter's rent...
"By the way, remember to speak to Mrs. Blaize, or she'll ask us for liquidated damages."
Mrs. Blaise was their stingy landlord and never had any kindness to her tenants.
Firth nodded, she was still better than Hugh when it came to talking to people.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Queens Beckland, a cold, damp church sits at the forefront, with a statue of the "Hanged Man Upside Down" at the forefront, eerie and ominous.
"The Creator of all, the Lord behind the Veil of Shadows, the fallen nature of all living beings, the Great True Creator!"
After silently reciting the prayer to the Lord, Mr. A slowly got up, and the expression on his handsome face was indescribably flat.
"Did you find that guy?"
He asked slowly as he looked into the darkness beside him.
“... Mr. A, who has been preliminarily judged to be the extraordinary person of the 'lawyer' path, sequence 6 'corrupt baron', but his method of killing is like the ability of the 'sailor' path sequence 6 'wind'... Maybe he's a 'shepherd' like you? ”
Others may not know, but the members of the Aurora Society in the dark obviously know that this Mr. A, who is the head of Beckland, is a Sequence 5 "Shepherd" of the "Secret Prayer" path, and among his "herding" abilities, he also happens to have the abilities of "Wind Favorer" and "Corrupt Baron".
It is surprisingly consistent with the "righteous knight".
"Are you suspicious of me?"
Mr. A was almost amused, no matter how crazy he was, he wouldn't do anything to the members of the Aurora Society under him for no reason, right?
Did he get his head caught in the door?
"That's not what the subordinates meant."
Hearing Mr. A's cold voice, the members of the Aurora Society in the dark were almost frightened, and he knew the former's habits very well.
As a relative of the "true Creator", he has always been the most insane.
"Keep looking, no matter if he is an extraordinary person in the sequence, even if he is a demigod, if he moves the members of our Aurora Society, he will have to pay a price."
Mr. A's gradually frantic twisted and hideous face made the people in the darkness quickly bow their heads, indicating that they knew.
——
"Hello Lady Irma, you are beautiful again, I am here for Anthony."
"It's little Ed, come on in."
Anthony, who slept until noon, was very comfortable, and he was about to have lunch, and then rushed to the La Cist printing house to fish, when he heard a commotion in the hall on the first floor.
Ed?
Hearing the voice of the person who came was quite familiar, and said that he was looking for himself, this immediately made Anthony start to search for memories in his mind again, and recalled this person-
Ed. Korek, a viscount heir to the Korek family, and Anthony met because of the occult, so they were good friends, and the two often discussed the occult together.
The predecessor was not to use the occult to make interpersonal contacts...
Helpless for a moment, Anthony couldn't pretend not to hear, and immediately walked through the corridor around the corner and greeted Ed who stepped up the stairs head-on.
"Hi Ed, why are you here?"
This guy has found some occult books and wants to come and share them with me.
Anthony, who had already understood Ed's habits from memory, guessed, but the latter's answer surprised him slightly.
"I'm here to invite you to the docks with me, I heard that today's ship to the four seas has returned, bringing back a lot of materials for extraordinary creatures, and there will be an auction tonight!"
Ed couldn't hide the excitement on his face and looked at Anthony excitedly.
As a nobleman who dreamed of becoming a sailor and was interested in the occult, it was understandable that he was in such a mood.
"Uh... Well, I need to prepare. ”
After digesting the information Ed brought, Anthony nodded slightly sluggishly in response, then turned back to his room, his brow furrowed instantly.
It is a bit of a coincidence that the tentacles of the extraordinary creatures of the sea, the Mander jellyfish, happened to be needed in the potion recipe for his promotion to Sequence 8 "Loser", and the ship from the four seas also happened to be returning from the four seas.
Anthony knows that in such a world, no matter what seems to be an unreasonable coincidence, there is a high probability that there are traces of manipulation behind it.
Ince. Zangwill? No, the old guy probably can't protect himself now.
Then there is only one possibility left, this is the handiwork of the Aurora Society!
Anthony didn't forget that at the party, he asked Hugh to help him buy the bear paws of the white bear of Xibudo and the tentacles of the jellyfish of Mende, perhaps because the Aurora Society had guessed something and wanted to use this auction to find out the "righteous knight"!
It's a pity that your calculations can't be sounded.
The corners of Anthony's mouth were slightly hooked, as he had the ability of a "Faceling", he naturally would not make a mistake on this kind of issue.
Even if Mr. A had a way to see his face under the hood, he would never have known that it was Anthony.
However, thanks to their auction this time, I can have the opportunity to get my hands on the second extraordinary material.
After putting on the clothes sent by the valet, Anthony sorted them out, and then followed Ed into the carriage and went straight to the docks of Beckland.
