After a routine of morning prayers and doctrinal studies and Hermes at Harvest Chapel, Douglass finally got his hands on some copies of Russell's diary.

When he came to Antonia for dinner last night to see if he could transcribe some of Russell's diaries, the young Bloods graciously agreed to bring him the old manuscripts from home.

"Speaking of which, where is your home, on the outskirts of the Southern District?" Douglas sighed at the solid eyes of the young blood, and continued to put on the almost.

Antonia reported an address that sounded far away: "Feel free to come and play." ”

"Okay." Douglas casually responded, "Go when you have time." ”

He's also very curious about things like vampire castles, but his schedule has been quite full lately, and even if he wants to go, he probably won't have to wait until after the New Year.

The Northern Continent still attaches more importance to the arrival of the new year. And because of the widespread belief in the goddess of the night, Rune will have a day off on the winter rite day, which is said to be the goddess's birthday.

They chatted casually on the subject. Hearing that he was looking for a house, Antonia thought for a moment: "I remember that some of the Bloods had vacant properties near the Southside. ”

"I'm sorry, I have to prioritize Veretti's distance to school, it's too far for me to worry."

"Veretti......" Bloodclan said the name again, "your little girl's name is nice. ”

Douglas was almost stumped by a sip of tea, and felt that this kind of pronoun sounded strange, but he couldn't find a more suitable pronoun for a while, so he had to acquiesce to this statement and forcibly return to the topic: "And she is a believer in the goddess of the night, there is a suitable house in the North District, but you can introduce it to me, an ordinary house!" Ordinary townhouse! Share a house! ”

He emphasized the conditions in his accent, lest the wealthy blood clan in his pocket overestimate his economic strength.

"Some of the properties in the North End are owned by the Night Church." Antonia didn't know if she had listened to the second half of the sentence, "If you really need it, it's not that you can't ask." ”

“…… No, not to that extent. Speaking of which, why is the relationship between our church and the Church of the Night so close? ”

Douglas held back this question for a long time, and finally had a chance to ask it.

Antonia unconsciously stroked the spine of the ancient book in his hand and replied, "It is said that we worked together during the war. ”

Douglas complained while admiring the handsome guy's face: "Why is it said? ”

"Because my sister and I were not in Beckland at the time, we only learned some information from various sources after the war."

"Really? Where did you live, Fenerport? As Douglas casually asked, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. According to the memory of the original owner, at the beginning of the war, the kingdom of Fenerport, where the headquarters of the Church of Mother Earth God is located, seems to have attacked Rune's ally Lemburg? It's clear that you're on the opposite side of Rune, right?

In such a situation, how is it possible for the two countries to be officially recognized as churches? Even if Fersack had been defeated and Rune and Fenerpoter had reconciled, the relationship between the two churches should not have been so close.

He threw the question directly at Antonia, thinking that the Bloods, who seemed to have a lot of influence in the church, probably knew why.

“…… My sister and I did come from Fenerport. However, the Bloodlines do not have an advantage within the Church, and Beckland's situation is based on the peculiarity of this place. ”

Faced with this question, Antonia rarely put away her previous attitude of being willing to answer his questions, and her expression was a little hesitant, but she still gave a certain response: "Our relationship with the Night Church ...... It's not a secret within the Bloodlines that it was influenced by some high-level forces at the end of the war, but I'm not sure if you know. ”

Douglas immediately said: "It's okay, I just asked casually, and I have no intention of testing the intelligence within your blood clan!" Just make sure that our partnership with the Night Church is long-term and stable. ”

It's better not to contact this kind of information that clearly has an insider! Ignorance is bliss!

"You can rest assured that our cooperation with the Church of the Night is very reliable." Antonia also seemed relieved.

He really didn't know how to tell outsiders about the change in the identity of the ancestor, after all, except for the blood clan and several official churches, the name of the ancestor Lilith had long been unknown, and it was even more troublesome to explain.

Thinking of this, Antonia suddenly remembered something else, and hurriedly added: "By the way, if you have a dream about the red moon in the future, you must tell us." ”

Since Douglas is still in the investigation period and is not a "moon" and "mother" path, which is relatively safe, Fr. Schultz does not mention the ecclesiastical system of benefactors and benevolents of the Church.

Antonia didn't elaborate on it at this time, only mentioning the "Primordial Moon", an evil god hated by the Church and the Bloodline, and the existence of "artificial vampires".

Based on the experience of the previous question, Douglas felt that this was probably some kind of information within the Bloodline, and he wrote down all the points without asking, and at the same time felt that his knowledge of the occult was too lacking - he had never heard of such a thing as a "primordial moon" before.

So Douglas happily decided to stay in the reference room to make up for it, and by the way, grab a reimbursable lunch, and wait for Antonia to teach at Beckland University in the afternoon, and then read the Rosell's diary slowly.

-

Beckland West End, Bellotto Street, in a small three-story building.

Stop. Dilcha sat in an armchair a few floors up behind his desk, reading carefully a piece of information from an informant.

Already a Sequence 4 "Commander of the Law", with the help of a "script" written by her friend Forth and many "hints" from Miss Audrey, she was able to obtain a proper position in MI9 without much suspicion, with both the power to transfer personnel and the authority to manage internal information, so that she could complete the tasks assigned by Mr. "Fool".

Of course, there is still work to deal with on weekdays, especially when the war has just passed, and many spies from other countries will sneak in quietly while the situation has not yet stabilized.

Now she has such a suspected espionage information in her hands.

"Winkel. Agassius, whose real name is Winkel. Einhorn ...... "She glanced over the photo attached to the document, and unsurprisingly saw a handsome woman with distinctive red hair and a neutral face.

According to the information sent by the subordinate agency, this member of the Einhorn side branch of the Fersak Empire and a member of the secret organization "Iron Cross Society" has most likely come to Beckland, and seems to have some mission to pursue a member of the "Witch Sect".

The whereabouts of the two are unknown after a covert feud broke out on the outskirts of Beckland's north-west sector, but in recent days, MI9 informants in the eastern sector reported that a bounty had been put on Winkel.

This information came at the right time. No matter how convenient the position is, it is also within MI9 and is subject to rules and regulations. Such an extraordinary person from Fursack, involved in the "Predator Cross" and the "Witch Cult", and himself a "hunter", provided Hugh with a suitable excuse to access the relevant internal materials.

After a moment's thought, she rang the bell to summon a few subordinates, and assigned a more detailed investigation task with a serious face. The opponent has reached the level of Sequence 6, and Hugh does not expect his subordinates to catch the opponent, so he can always provide pressure on the hunter and prevent the opponent's possible actions.

Selfishly, Hugh even hoped that the other party would behave more difficult and delay the time limit of this task for a longer period of time, so that he could secretly investigate. However, in terms of duty and conscience, she didn't want the other party to endanger the ordinary people in the process of continuous action, so she still didn't let go too much.

After arranging the relevant matters, Hugh applied to his supervisor for the relevant information. Looking at the thick stack of paper, she rubbed the corners of her forehead and muttered to herself, "If only Firth were here, she is the best at extracting the main points from large paragraphs of text, and the ability of the 'Mystic Mage' will allow her to sneak into my office undetected......"

It was a pity that her friend, who had lived and died with her many times, was now working on her own mission in the Abrahamic fiefdom of Intis, and although the two of them often passed on news through spirit messengers, this important information was not allowed to leak out.

She scratched her messy blonde hair and resigned herself to the information.

-

Trier, the capital of Intis, on the outskirts of an estate.

The estate, which belonged to the Abrahamic family, has finally recovered some of its former glory after centuries of depression.

With the "Full Moon Curse" completely resolved, Abraham, who had been separated from his family for many years, contacted all the family members who had been exiled and resumed the form of settlement.

On the one hand, it is an explanation to the "fool". In return for the solution of the "Full Moon Curse", the decision within the Abrahamic family was to provide enough "anchors" for the newborn, dormant god to accept Firth in the form of a collective conversion. Wall enters the Presbyterian Church.

At the same time, it is also a new beginning for the revitalization of the Abrahamic family. After solving the problem of difficulty in promotion, the wealth of knowledge and characteristics accumulated by the family over the years will finally be put to use, and a group of young and lucky enough Abrahams will be promoted under the care of Furth and Audrey.

- Yes, after realizing the scale of the festival, Foirth quickly invited Audrey, a veteran "audience", to assist him.

"I'm not ready to ......" The brown-haired shawl and blue-eyed Furth leaned against the carved guardrail of the balcony, looking at the silhouette of the city of Trier in the distance with some melancholy, and complained to his friend, "The heritage of the nobility of the Fourth Age is really extraordinary...... Even if the teacher said that I didn't have to worry about the arrangement, I ...... when I think of being treated respectfully by so many Abrahams in the future."

She didn't finish her sentence, but it was enough for Audrey to read her helplessness, nervousness, and a little withdrawn. Presumably, this writer, who is known for her laziness on weekdays, has never had the ambition and expectation to take charge of the entire family, and she doesn't know how to face the current situation for a while.

"I don't think you need to worry too much." Audrey, who had stripped her noble clothes and was only dressed in ordinary clothes and robes, smiled and pushed to her friend over a cup of black tea, and persuaded softly, "Your teacher and the rest of the members of the Council of Elders should take this situation into account, you are not a member of the clan in the first place, and you have the task of Mr. 'Fool', so they will naturally not bother you with daily trivialities, but you will show your future 'hope' to the clan in this celebration." ”

Hearing this, Firth withdrew his gaze from afar, and instead looked at the lively courtyard. The "master of tricks" have always been good at stirring up the atmosphere, at this moment the white pigeons in the courtyard are flying together, all kinds of flowers are blooming on the sideburns of the girls, and the young children are chasing the crystal clear soap bubbles and laughing and playing.

The elders who have experienced the painful times before continue to recognize their relatives and friends who have been reunited for a long time, or they miss the past together, or they remember the deceased together, or they just stand under the eaves and gaze deeply at the joyful scenes of the younger generations, tears quietly sliding down their faces.

But every Abraham's eyes were filled with a light called hope.

Faced with such a scene, Folth's brows also relaxed slightly. There was still an inevitable slight tension, but a desire to protect the good thing gradually took over.

This may be what Russell the Great said, "With great power comes great responsibility...... She sighed silently, then sat down opposite Audrey and took a sip of black tea.

…… True to Abraham, the taste of this black tea is not inferior to the level tasted at Audrey's house. Firth picked up a piece of macaron and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "There is another problem, both the Steam Church and the Eternal Sun Church will send people to participate in the celebration of Abraham, and the Intis official will also have people, I think, there must be members of the Sauron family and the Esoteric Order." ”

Although declining in extraordinary respects, from the time of Russell, one of the four horsemen closest to the Great was Benjamin. Abraham could see that the ancient family had never given up on competing in the political situation in Intis.

Now that Abraham is going to set sail again in the extraordinary world, it is inevitable that the attention of all parties in Intis will be concerned.

Among them, the Church of Steam and the Church of the Eternal Sun are not the biggest problem, Mr. "Fool" is already recognized as a righteous god, and there is enough tacit understanding between the two. Well, except that Firth, who was a shallow believer in steam before, would be a little embarrassed.

What is really tricky is the attitude of the Intis officials, that is, the Sauron family and the Esoteric Order in the military forces.

It was only when he remembered that Mr. Fool had repeatedly targeted the leader of the Esoteric Order, Zarathu, and directly caused him to fall before returning to the throne, that he seriously considered inviting Miss Audrey as a precaution.

Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from Mr. "World" that "soothsayers" are definitely not an easy way to deal with, and among them, Sequence 5 "Master of Secret Couples" is known as the most difficult to guard against below the demigods.

She didn't want the Abrahamic family to have a few more "eyeliners" of the Esoteric Order after the celebration.
