Friedman. Mill woke up a little late today. He rubbed his forehead and rang the bell to call the waiter to bring breakfast to his room.

As the "bribe-taker" of Sequence 7 of the "Lawyer" pathway, he has a strong physique that comes with potions, and he shouldn't have been tired from staying up late investigating such a trivial matter. But last night, his investigation in the East Side attracted the attention of the members of the Aurora Society, and he had to expend a lot of energy on things like getting rid of the tracking and erasing the traces.

Two days later, Friedman didn't get the slightest clue about the item's whereabouts, and the only thing that comforted him was that the Aurora Society, which tried to snatch the item, also found nothing.

But that's not enough. Friedman knew that the Aurora Society would be far more powerful in Beckland than he had encountered so far, and that there were plenty of downlines that could provide intelligence. If Aurora would get the clue to the item before him, he would have to give up.

Damn Thomson, it has to be so complicated...... Friedman cursed silently. His main mission in coming to Beckland was to establish a stronghold here, secretly develop his power, and train some extraordinary people to work for the organization. The investigation of Thomson should have been only a small part of the equation.

Through some information, they learned that a seal suspected to have been held by the God of War Church had fallen into the underground market of Beckland, and in order not to attract the attention of other forces and the official church, they specially asked Thomson, who was still an ordinary person, to come forward and buy it. Unexpectedly, Aurora would also get this information a little later, and sent out missions in several underground extraordinarily gatherings to find the item.

Thomson, who heard the news, telegraphed the news, mentioning that in order to cut off the clues, the seal was temporarily entrusted to a hidden extraordinary.

Now both the Aurora Guild's downline and Friedman have experienced first-hand how good the extraordinary person with the seal is at hiding - in the past two days, no one knows where the "apprentice" named Douglas is.

The last piece of relevant information was in the early morning of the 20th, and the thugs hired by the Aurora Society found Douglas in the Beckland Bridge area, but the other party finally managed to escape and has not been seen since.

Let ordinary people deal with the extraordinary people who pass by the "apprentice", curly-haired baboons can't make such a brainless decision! Friedman felt that the aurora would be extremely wasteful, but he was also glad that the other party had made a mentally retarded mistake that prevented the matter from ending early.

Friedman, who arrived in Beckland on the evening of the 19th, could only follow the footsteps of the Aurora Society, and reluctantly left contact information in a certain stronghold in Douglas, hoping to rely on Thomson's favor to successfully "fish" the target.

After a hasty brunch, the hands had just crossed ten o'clock. Friedman usually doesn't go out in the morning, but uses this time to rest and gather information: in addition to Thomson's, he also has to worry about other tasks of the organization, such as socializing and networking with some declining nobles or newly wealthy people.

Fortunately, there was no annoying party at noon today, and Friedman was not going to go to the East End to provoke the Aurora Club in broad daylight, and just wanted to ask the waiter to bring black tea and newspapers, when he heard a gentle knock on his door.

He stood up with some vigilance and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you." The waiter's voice sounded outside the door, "Here's an urgent letter for you." ”

Letter? Friedman frowned and asked again, "Who sent it?" ”

"The sender is Peter. Mr. Thomson. His servant is downstairs waiting for your reply. ”

No, Thomson is now sheltering from the limelight in Port Prietz...... Friedman suddenly realized something. He opened the door, first gave the waiter a tip and used it to activate the ability of "bribe", and only after confirming that the good waiter had no intention of harming him before taking the envelope.

The Extraordinary's spiritual instincts made him instantly recognize that this was the envelope he had left behind in the Society of Astronomical Observers. Friedman opened it on the spot and saw a message from the elusive "apprentice":

"It's still with me, I think we need an interview, you can pick the time and place, but it's better to stay away from the East End. The sooner the better. Douglas. ”

The fish took the bait...... The corners of Friedman's mouth lifted into a smile. After a moment's thought, he wrote down the time and address on a sticky note in the room, folded it in half, and handed it to the waiter, while he returned to the room and thought about his next plan.

After finding Douglas himself, the easiest thing to do next is to kill him and then channel. It's a pity that Friedman's own sequence is not good at ritual magic such as psychics, and the other party is also extraordinary, so psychics have a high probability of failure.

Besides, the benefits of killing people are too low...... This guy can also be a decoy against the Aurora Society, make him die at the hands of the Aurora Society, and then attract the official Extraordinary to strike at the Aurora Society, so that I can eliminate my presence in the incident......

Feeling a boot fall to the ground, Friedman relaxed and diverged his thoughts. As a "lawyer" path, he has good eloquence and is very good at guiding the minds of others, and it is easy to convince a Sequence Nine that has no resistance bonus in terms of spirit. The key to the plan should be on the trap against the Aurora Society, as long as the Aurora Society's crazy people make enough noise to not worry about the official extraordinaries not intervening.

This is the capital of all things, Beckland!

-

"Captain, this is Isenger. Stanton's on-site investigation report. ”

At the bottom of St. Samuel's Church, Sost, who had been promoted to "Spirit Witch", took the investigation report from the team members, flipped through it, and asked, "What happened to the investigation of Seal '2-061'?" ”

Cindy, who was in charge of the matter, took a half step forward and reported, "Last night in the Eastern Side, members of the Aurora Society had a skirmish with an unknown Extraordinary Person in the pursuit of the seal '2-061', and the latter managed to escape. Through means such as dreaming, it can be determined that the latter belongs to the 'lawyer' path, and has demonstrated the ability to be no less than Sequence 8. Neither side was able to obtain Seal '2-061'. ”

After a pause, she continued, somewhat embarrassed: "None of the night watchmen currently conducting investigations in the Eastern Sector have been able to find any clues about the seal '2-061', well, in the eastern district where thieves are rampant, there are countless incidents of missing items, and it is difficult to determine whether there are cases caused by the side effects of the seal '2-061'. ”

Sost took his eyes off the report, his red-gloved right hand on the table and tapped lightly: "Hmm...... Instead of investigating theft cases, we need to think differently. ”

He handed the investigation report to the team and motioned for them to look through it for themselves. Bob flipped through a few pages and quickly caught the point: "So, the sudden infectious disease on Lily Street really came from the seal '2-061'?" ”

"This is the result of the reasoning of a 'keeper of knowledge.'" "Of course, combined with the clues on the side, it can be basically determined that on the evening of the 19th, when the holder of the seal '2-061' had a conflict with the members of the Aurora Society near Lily Street, he intentionally or unintentionally used the seal '2-061' to release the 'plague' belonging to the witch's ability, which led to such a consequence. ”

"In this case, the holder of the seal '2-061' will not be spared, and even if they had escaped the ambush of the Aurora Society at that time, the holder may have died due to the negative effects of the seal and the 'plague'." One of the team members asked what the problem was.

Everyone couldn't help but turn pale when they thought of this. If the holders die in the East End because of this, their workload will probably increase exponentially.

"Hey, there's a gathering of Extraordinary people underneath Lily Street that isn't on the watch list......" Bob, who was flipping through the report, continued to read the following, "Isenger speculated that the holder may have tried to get the seal out of the party at this party, but was unsuccessful due to the Aurora Sect...... Five of the party participants have already been identified! ”

Thost nodded: "Focus on those two suspected extraordinary, and ...... next"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room. After the team opened the door, one of the night watchmen greeted several red gloves and walked quickly to Sost, leaned over and whispered, "The messenger of the Mother Earth God Church is waiting for you above." ”

Sost raised an eyebrow. In the aftermath of Lily Street, the night watchmen applied for assistance from the Mother Earth Church of God, which is good at dispensing potions and curing diseases, and at the same time passed on some information about the seal "2-61", of course, only for extraordinary people at the level of bishops and squad leaders.

The danger that a rather dangerous seal circulating in the underground market may bring is something that every church does not want to see, and in this regard, they have a good reason to cooperate and it is not a leak.

Sost motioned for the team to continue the discussion, got up and followed the night watchman, left the basement of the church, and went to the reception room to meet the extraordinary person of the Church of Mother Earth God.

It was a young gentleman with slender cheeks and deep eyebrows, dressed very well, and those scarlet eyes made Sost immediately realize that this was a Bloodline who had lived for an unknown number of years.

Since the rebellion of Fenerport after the God War, it is no longer a secret that the bloodlines have submitted to the Church of Mother Earth God...... Sost nodded to the other party with a complacent expression and made a brief self-introduction:

"Sost, the leader of the Red Glove team responsible for the Seal '2-061' incident."

"Ruth. Bathory. A proper smile was also evoked on the other side, "The 'reaper' of the mother goddess." Hehe, we've got some intel on the '2-061' incident. ”

"Please."

Ruth leaned back and leaned back in his chair in a very leisurely manner, "Well, first of all, we found the Extraordinary One who held the seal '2-061' before. ”

Sost's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes. An extraordinary man from the East End, in the 'apprentice' sequence, named Douglas. Ruth nodded, not knowing what he had in mind, and then showed a somewhat amused look, "He, well, hid in our Harvest Chapel for two days. ”

"......," Sost was momentarily stunned, "What?" ”

"Allow me to explain from the beginning." The Bloods touched their chin and summed up the matter in simple words, "Early in the morning of the 20th, our clergy found him fainting on the ground in the southern area of the bridge and took him back to the church for treatment. On the 21st, we received your request for support, and learned about the seal '2-61', and found that Douglas was very suspicious. He was in good health, but he had a sudden respiratory illness with symptoms similar to the 'plague' on Lily Street, and we have reason to suspect that he was a participant or witness to the event. ”

"But the evidence was not sufficient at that time, and in order to avoid interfering with the investigation, we did not report it, but only left a 'mark' on him. After Douglas left Harvest Church on the 22nd, I kept an eye on his tracks. ”

As he spoke, the Bloodline Count lifted his cloak slightly, allowing Sost to see a small bat hidden in the shadow of his clothes.

"My ears and eyes told me that Douglas seemed to be hiding from something, and at the same time he went to the 'Association of Astronomical Observers' in Joe Wood. Combined with the investigation of another team of our personnel, it was found that Peter was initially suspected of having purchased the seal '2-061' at an underground auction. Thomson is a member of the association. ”

Peter. Thomson, Douglas...... Sost, who had just finished reading the investigation report, immediately remembered that both of them were participants in the Lily Street Underground Extraordinaire gathering!

"Douglas obviously got the clue there. On the 23rd, that is, this morning, he went to the Calpensa Hotel on the West Side and contacted Friedman in room 226 by mail. Mill. He addressed Friedman. Mir's message said, 'Stuff is with me'! ”

The threads began to be threaded together gradually. Sost pondered for two seconds and said, "Where did you get the information about the auction?" Is it credible? ”

This is related to the flow of Seal "2-061", and he must confirm it.

Ruth nodded casually: "One of the counts of our blood clan is the guarantor of the auction, and it has been confirmed through the relevant items, and the smell and occult revelation all point to Peter. Thomson. ”

Smell...... Sost continued, "About that Friedman. Mill, do you have any idea who he is? ”

"Not yet, I only know that he is from Jianhai County. Well, this person is probably also extraordinary. ”

"May fall under the 'lawyer' pathway, sequence 8 or higher." The Red Glove didn't hesitate to share information, "He should be the other force competing with the Aurora Society for the seal, and it's not sure which secret organization he belongs to." ”

"I think we'll find out soon." Ruth spread his hands, "Douglas and Friedman are planning a meet-and-face trade, maybe tonight, the seal '2-061' will appear." ”

"Isn't it possible to confirm the whereabouts of the seal?"

Douglas did not carry it with him, and has not shown any inclination to go anywhere to remove the seal. He may be trying to blackmail the other party and get some benefits. ”

"Where is the transaction?"

"It's not clear yet, I'll continue to monitor and let you know when there's any news."

Sotht nodded, got up and shook Ruth's hand: "Good work. I'm going to get ready for the transfer. ”

The Blood Clan bowed his head a little haughtily, "I believe that this cooperation will have a result that will be satisfactory to both of us. ”

Seeing off this distinguished guest, Soster tasted the so-called "satisfactory cooperation" of the other party, and always felt that this was a subtle meaning of asking for payment from the Night Church. Perhaps, Mother Earth God Church wants to get custody of the seal "2-061"?

He thought about it casually and put the matter behind him: he was only responsible for getting things back, and the specific distribution of benefits was not under the control of the Red Glove Squad, which was the combat power. Sost strode into the conference room, clapped his hands to get the attention of the team, and began to plan the next move.
