"Below this is the alchemy room, the arsenal, the archives, and the room where some of the seals are stored." Antonia explained as she led him down, explaining the dimly lit rooms with iron doors on the side of the stairs, "These rooms are for temporary detention and containment of certain people. ”

"Why don't you put these facilities on the ground?" Douglas touched the old stone brick walls and asked.

"The power of the Mother Goddess is concentrated in the realm of the earth and the Red Moon, so the seals must be stored underground and kept safely with the help of the Mother Goddess's power. Secondly, there are many precious materials in the alchemy room, and we also need a peaceful environment that is not disturbed when we carry out the configuration and experiments of potions. ”

The young Bloodclan paused for a moment as he said this, as if remembering something, and waved his hand to light all the wall lamps, the dancing candles illuminating the surroundings.

"Sorry to forget you're not a Bloodline. We don't usually need light in the dark. ”

"Thanks," Douglas was indeed agonizing over the matter, "and I almost had to follow you with my vision." ”

"There's actually a switch at the entrance, so remember to turn it on yourself later." Antonia nodded and continued the previous topic, "We can also get a certain bonus in a dark environment, well, the most important thing, the Bloods don't like the sun. ”

Douglas laughs, "In Beckland, it should be a blessing to see the sun. ”

This place really resembles London, England, and there are few sunny days throughout the year.

Antonia shook her head in clear disagreement. Although the Bloodline will not be harmed by ordinary sunlight, it is always uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun.

"The alchemy room, these are all of them, please don't disturb when you hang a sign at the door. The arsenal is of no use to our Bloodline, and we are the combat equivalent of Sequence 7. But now that you're here, you can apply for guns, demon hunting bullets and other supplies, but I don't know if there is still ...... inventory."

"What about the full range of weapons licenses required for the use of firearms?"

"The church will take care of it. Here, the archives. ”

There were already two people waiting in the archive room, one was Antina, and the other was a man with slender cheeks but a mature flavor, who was sitting upright in a chair reading an ancient book, and when he saw the visitor, he didn't get up, but just raised his head to signal.

Antonia gave a slight salute to the other party, and Douglas followed suit, and then heard Antonivan introduce to himself, "This is Ruth, who is currently in charge of the team. Baron Bathory. ”

Baron...... Is this a real aristocracy? Douglas, who came from the bottom, was a little restrained for a while, as if he didn't know where to put his hands.

Then I suddenly realized that I was actually a modern person, and the nobles were going to be hung by street lamps if they were placed there by us, and I was afraid of a ball.

Ruth. Bathory seemed to be looking at him, his eyes more scarlet than the Sainz siblings. Seeing Douglas's momentary expression of bewilderment, the baron chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, sit down." Although the nominal captain is me, I have been busy with business lately, and the actual affairs have been taught to Sainz and Schultz Jr. ”

Antina nodded heavily beside her, her expression slightly dissatisfied.

Douglas automatically and consciously sat at the bottom, a little curious about the so-called business, but seeing that the other party still had something to say, he did not ask, but only put on a posture of quiet listening.

"Actually, most of the Beckland Bloodline is currently in the Southern Continent, in Emlyn. Under the leadership of Archbishop White, you can not see many cultists. "Ruth. Bathory said slowly, "The one with the higher sequence has another mission, so I don't show up very often. Your teammates will include some young Bloods, including the Sainz siblings, as well as a 'Cultivator' and a 'Warrior'. ”

"Jessica the 'Cultivator'. Daunes, 'Warrior' Wayne. Tory," Antonia added at the right time, "they are not Blood, and Wayne is at the West Villas Field Police Station and will cooperate with us when necessary. Jessica is mainly responsible for the cultivation and cultivation of rare plants, which should now be in the greenhouse of my villa......"

Your villa...... Douglas captured this key word, and said in his heart that you are also bourgeois! It's a baron and a villa, and the blood clan seems to be quite rich? Shouldn't living longer burn more money?

"You'll have a chance to meet the other Bloods. Hehe, although the Church of the Mother God is officially recognized, the handling of extraordinary events is usually based on the beliefs of the parties to assign teams, and most of the affairs will still fall on the night watchman and the punisher, and there is basically no situation where we use all the personnel, so you don't have to rush to meet. ”

"Okay." Douglas has no problem with this arrangement, and to be honest, he is actually a social phobia, a bloodline colleague who pays attention to his identity, and he can't see it.

"Well, let Schultz arrange the specific tasks and studies for you." Ruth. Bathory changed his position and lifted his right leg over his left leg, "Next is about you." ”

The leg is not good for the lumbar spine, Mr. Baron...... Oh you're a Blood, then I didn't say it. Douglas concentrated his mind and prepared to hear what was relevant to him.

"You should be able to understand that we will be conducting a period of investigation of the wild extraordinaires who have been recruited into the church. At the end of the inspection, you will be treated as a regular employee, including salary and promotion opportunities. ”

Understood, internship period. Douglas was quite sincere: "I understand. What can I do with the church? ”

"Complete the assigned tasks, cooperate with other team members or part of the actions of the police department, and do their own work. At the same time, you need to submit a thought report every two weeks, including the progress of learning the teachings of the Mother Goddess, your experience and your own situation, I mean whether you have been exposed to contaminated objects, whether you have a tendency to lose control, etc. "A copy of the debriefing needs to be communicated to the Night Church, and they are primarily responsible for the Seal '2-061' event you are involved in.

"In addition, I will conduct a certain amount of surveillance of your movements. You should have seen this tactic already. ”

Bathory said, raising his arm. Douglas saw a small furry bat poaching out of his cuff, its claws clutching at the expensive fabric hanging upside down.

It dawned on him. Bathory glanced at the little bat, which squeaked and spread its wings towards Douglas, who leaned back urgently and raised his arms to catch the little thing in his palm.

The moment he caught the little bat, Douglas realized something. The creature was lighter than he had imagined, and although it had a furry touch, when looked closely, the pitch-black figure did not seem to be covered with fur, but more like a pure shadow.

"You can think of it as my doppelganger." Lifting his chin, Bathory explained, "It's a creature made of shadows that is undetectable by most occult means, and it has some anti-divination properties. It usually hides in your shadow, and its eyes are my eyes. ”

This, high-tech ...... Ah no, the high occult body camera is okay...... As if to confirm Batory's words, the little bat's body suddenly dissolved, slid and disappeared like a black shadow, and the next second it fell on his head again.

Douglas reached out and grabbed the little thing, and said with great interest: "Can you name it?" ”

"......" Bathory's expression seemed to stiffen. Antina behind him suddenly had a bright smile on her face, actively offering advice.

"What are you going to call it? How about Toby? ”

Douglas realized that the thing was part of Bathory's own shadow, and naming it seemed to be like giving Bathory a nickname......

His gaze wandered. Fortunately, Bathory only glanced back at Antina, and did not dwell on this matter, continuing the previous topic: "It has no combat power, but when you encounter an emergency that you can't handle, you can touch it with your spirit, and I will be aware of it." It's surveillance, but it's also protection. ”

"I totally understand."

Bathory nodded, and by this time Father Schultz had already entered the archives. The Blood Baron then stood up and left, leaving the details to the priest.

As soon as the baron was gone, Antina became visibly lively, and rubbed over to her brother and whispered something. Lien. Schultz didn't care about these details, sat casually to the side, and said to Douglas with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, the inspection will last a long time, but we won't embarrass you." ”

Douglas held his newborn shadow pet and sat obediently to listen to the old man arrange tasks for him.

"Well, you need to come to Harvest Chapel once a day, either for me to teach you or for you to study. You can arrange the exact time according to the situation of other tasks, of course, I need to rest most of the night.

"In addition, you need to dedicate two afternoons a week to St. Samuel's Church of the Night. A night watchman from the 'Voyeur' route will arrange the necessary lessons for you, and you can tell me when you decide now. ”

Come to think of it, today is Tuesday, November 25th...... Douglas casually said, "Then Wednesday and Friday afternoons every week, okay?" ”

Schultz nodded: "You can go over tomorrow." This is a token, take it to the priest on duty, and then follow their arrangement. Your teacher's name is Nora. Merros. ”

As he spoke, the old man handed him a thumb-sized crescent moon badge with faint spiritual fluctuations on it.

After seeing him put away his badge, Schultz continued: "Other jobs, well, as you can see, there are very few things that need to be on duty in the church. We have three clerical staff on it who are responsible for typing and accounting, and I will also stay in the church for a long time. Hehe, our advantage over other churches is that we don't need to be on duty for seals, and the really dangerous items are in the treasure troves of various blood families, and they all have fewer side effects here, so they don't need to be stored specially.

"But you still need to learn the various languages and the history of Antonia here. There are many ancient books donated by the Bloodline in the archives, they are a race with a long history, and they have kept a lot of secrets. The storage here is relatively safe and does not contain high-level knowledge, you can look through it at any time, but you can't take it with you. ”

Douglas looked around the archives as the other man spoke, feeling that it was like a small library, and he doubted that he would be able to read half of the book in his life.

"Other than that, you have only two tasks, one is to follow this list, regularly participate in these underground gatherings and report on the situation, and always keep an eye out for the existence of secret cults and other extraordinary events in the Eastern District. This shouldn't be difficult for you. ”

Hehe, indeed, I once preached to the Aurora Society, and I am very familiar with the business, what was the original creator...... Douglas laughed at himself as he took the list, which was not much, including the addresses of four or five underground gatherings, how to join, and so on.

"I thought that after the church got this information, it would choose to eliminate and ban it......"

"There are all sorts of hidden organizations, and we can't cut off all the transactions that involve the extraordinary. In that case, keeping them in sight may be the best option. At the party, you need to pay extra attention to the sale of recipes and those dangerous and evil commissions, which need to be reported in a timely manner. ”

"Okay."

"For the second mission, you'll need to join the 'Celestial Observation Enthusiasts Association' in Jowood District."
