"I'm going to issue a delegate.

"This is a commission to gather intelligence, and I will advance 10 pounds for the investigation to everyone who is willing to accept the assignment. This is a portrait of the target, and I need to know where she is, who she has come into contact with, and what extraordinary weapons she carries. The target will be generally active in the Eastern District and the Docklands. She is an extraordinary person who is good at fighting, around Sequence 8.

"The more detailed the information, the more you get paid."

Fernand memorized the above step by step, took out a sketch and handed it to the waiter, and let everyone in the party go through it. Then he turned to the old gentleman who sat at the top of the house, known as the "Eye of Wisdom," and respectfully pleaded, "I hope that you will witness this transaction and allow me to attend the meeting that follows, so that I can handle the follow-up of the commission." ”

After a moment of contemplation, the "Eye of Wisdom" agreed to the request, and informed the other party of the Ernst Firm's code. Later, a lady who had just sold an extraordinary weapon and two other men took over the commission, and Fernand paid the 30 pounds for the investigation as promised, and left the party according to the arrangement of the "Eyes of Wisdom".

Seeing off the last participant, the "Eyes of Wisdom" sat alone in the living room, took off his mask and touched his chin thoughtfully. The face under the mask was none other than Beckland's famous detective Issinger. Stanton.

"Winkel. Agassi...... "He muttered a name, and that was exactly the woman Fernand was looking for. As a semi-official who works closely with the church and the police, Isenger had just received information from MI9 this afternoon that the Fursack spy had infiltrated Beckland.

The detective leaned back in his chair with his eyes slightly closed, sketching in his mind the image of the newcomer entrusted with the task. Rusty, cautious, but prepared, without the temperament of a soldier, unlike MI9 informants, who differ from reality in the situation of the target sequence, but do not show weakness, it is possible that they have been deceived and do not know it......

It is reported that the spy is after a member of the "Witch Cult......

After two seconds, Isenger took out a pure crystal ball and attempted a divination against Fernand. After the starry crystal ball was stroked by his palm, it seemed to rise from the inside, showing a hazy light and shadow.

The blue eyes of the middle-aged and elderly gentleman with gray temples narrowed slightly, examining the illusory image in the crystal ball, and shook his head slightly after a while. There are too few preconditions, and divination fails to give interpretable results. Isinger put away the crystal ball and decided to advance the next meeting by a day and observe each other more.

"Three copies of Russell's diary can be sold for 20 pounds...... Praise Russell! Praise Huang Tao! ”

Douglas left the party full of joy and felt that he was not far from making a fortune. Although he got rich by forging the diary of a fellow pickled girl......

Who called the emperor, you blocked the path of the latecomers in all directions, this is called the way of heaven and good reincarnation...... Can't copy a book, it's not easy to copy your diary? The Count of Champagne wants to anal you, and the Earl of Erguotou may also want to anal, right? He smiled unkindly, and then thought about how to forge Russell's diary unobtrusively.

In fact, when it comes to making a fortune, he hasn't thought of a way to bypass the shadow bat's surveillance and Antonia's attention. After all, Chinese really doesn't match the world's alphabet system, and researchers like Antonia can still remember many glyphs even if they don't know the meaning. When the time comes, he makes up the "Russell Diary" that he doesn't have at hand, and Antonia finds out that he can't match any of them, and he will be in trouble.

Of course, the ones he has in his hands now are actually Antonia's private collections, and he is not allowed to resell them.

Moreover, if Antonia later found a new Russell diary and studied it, and Douglas saw that it was Russell's big man, he would have found it difficult to hold back his immoral laughter.

There will always be a way, it's a big deal to do it after the internship period is over, and the fishing fellows are not in a hurry...... Douglas walked to the inn humming a song rather relaxedly, and after a casual glance, he saw that Veretti's room was still lit. He was a little surprised, when he came back late a few days ago, the little girl had already fallen asleep, and the two only touched each other at breakfast.

He glanced at the clock as he walked through the hall, came up and knocked on the door of Veretti's room and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"It's still early." The little girl's pale blonde hair was tied behind her head with a ribbon, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck, and she grabbed his wrist with great interest, "I'm flipping through the rental information in the newspaper, you can also take a look." ”

Before he could figure out whether his entry into the little girl's room was considered a kiss between a man and a woman, he had honestly followed and came to the desk of the inn. Many newspapers were messily spread out, and the rental information on them was cut out separately and pasted in notebooks.

Veretti picked up the notebook and explained to him seriously: "These pages are the owner's intention to share a house, and the price is more appropriate, and the rest is to find a tenant by yourself." And these, it's relatively close to the subway and bus stops, so it's convenient for you to go to church work......"

After that, she waited for feedback with some expectation and nervousness: "Do you think there is a suitable one here?" ”

And Douglas, who had no actual rental experience at all, held the notebook in his hand and fell into deep thought.

“…… Well, let's pick a few of them to visit this Sunday. He tried to recall the experience of living in the dormitory of the school, turning to the first few pages, "I think it is very necessary to understand the personality, living habits and beliefs of the landlord, in order to avoid major friction in later life." Well, you don't want to be in the same room as the Storm Lord's followers. ”

Veretti agrees. The two of them screened Douglas many times according to Douglas's annual income and rent level in these materials, and then excluded those who needed them to find tenants by themselves after renting the whole thing.

After choosing the last five or six properties, Douglas glanced at the time and urged Veretti to wash up and go to bed, while he copied a rental profile, planning to ask an experienced person about it tomorrow. He was a college student living with his parents before he crossed over, so he really didn't know anything about this.

Well, but the blood clan with their own villa definitely doesn't understand, and Father Schultz lives in the church at all, so should I take this to ask Teacher Merros? It's too much to treat the night watchman as an outsider......

-

The next day, St. Samuel's Cathedral was underground.

"......" Melos looked at the stack of house documents in her hand and rubbed the corners of her forehead, "It doesn't seem to be part of my job. ”

"So I brought it up after class." Douglas coughed lightly, not hiding his inner embarrassment, "This is a ...... Private requests. ”

The Night Watch began to seriously consider whether giving this cheap apprentice a punch would help digest his "Martial Scholar" potion.

After discovering the problem of potion digestion after the last class, she went back to have an in-depth discussion with her teammates in the same team, and combined with Dali's past performance and the code of the Voyeur, she roughly summarized a set of methods that needed to be verified.

That is, summarize the rules that conform to the name of the potion and strictly follow the rules.

Of course, this method is still very rudimentary, such as Lorota as a "gravedigger" and El as a "nightmare". At the same time, Hasson suggested that some sequences would have some adverse effects if they were to follow the potion's name exactly.

At this point, they have not yet been able to come up with a reason. While Merros's reasoning is generally logical, there is too much uncertainty in the details.

Al and Lorota were familiar with Merros's personality and knew that it would be difficult to dissuade her from trying; Years of friendship with colleagues could not get them to report to the Templar with such a single thought, leaving Melos with a stain on her resume because she was under scrutiny.

In addition to the promotions that come with promotions, there are so many positions for night watchmen to choose from within the church, but secular job reviews are far more rigorous and complex than promotion reviews.

Eventually, both sides will take a step back, and Meros will try to follow the Code, with Lorota and El acting as Overseers. It has been four years since Merros was promoted to Sequence 8, and there is not much risk of losing control.

If the potion digests quickly, she will immediately escalate the method, apply for a promotion, and be reviewed to prove the correctness of the code.

After missing the electric flash, Melos still gave up the idea of beating people, and gave Douglas some suggestions for renting a house based on his own life experience.

Seeing that the other party had taken these suggestions seriously, she tentatively asked, "Is this also part of becoming an 'apprentice'?" ”

Douglas paused, and unexpectedly raised his head to meet the other party's gaze, deliberately making a contemplative expression: "No, it's not. I don't 'play' an apprentice all the time. ”

He deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "play".

From Merros's more proactive attitude, Douglas felt that the teacher, who had been immersed in the occult for a longer time than himself, must have also understood to some extent that potions were not mastered, but digested. This gave him the confidence to describe Russell the Great's theories in a different way, without being condemned as heretic and thrown into prison on the spot by the night watchers.

Sure enough, instead of criticizing his thoughts, Merros bowed his head and motioned for him to continue.

Douglas first briefly elaborated on his understanding of digestive potions, and then turned the topic to "playing": "When it comes to 'playing', I start with my ...... Well, inspiration from colleagues. ”

“…… Do you mean the Bloodline? Merros touched her chin, looking interested.

"Yes." Douglas admits abruptly, "In our human lore, I mean that there is such a creature as 'vampires,' and in fact, 'vampires' are also a sequence of pathways that can be promoted by humans." The power of the Bloodline is equivalent to this Sequence 7.

"And within the blood clan, except for the situation of encountering evil beings that should not be contacted, there is almost no record of getting out of control. Because they were born to be so-called 'vampires'! ”

The knowledge of Sequence 7 was told to him by Father Schultz. Yesterday morning, on the occasion of Father Schultz asking him if the occult course was going well, Douglas naturally mentioned the loss of control, the question about the name of his path sequence, and curiously asked about the source of the Bloodline's power.

He was sure that these topics belonged to the category that would not arouse the other party's alarm, after all, his curiosity was genuine.

After Father Schultz told him about the two main ways mastered by the Mother Earth God Church, he specifically mentioned the hatred of the Bloods against the 'artificial vampires' promoted by humans, and let Douglas know the names of Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 of the "Moon" path, and the knowledge that the Bloods can continue to advance according to this sequence, but the promotion method is slightly more special than that of humans.

What was so special was Father Schultz didn't say, but Douglas didn't care very much, the previous piece of knowledge combined with the low runaway rate of the bloodline was enough to make his conjecture reasonable.

"Combined with my own feelings that day, I think that actions that are in line with the potion's name will help the potion digest. Just as the mission of a warrior is to fight with people, it is natural to hone his fighting skills and make himself conform to the reality that the name represents. ”

As he spoke, he remembered the simplicity of the four-character idiom system in Chinese, a thing that can be summed up "worthy of the name", which must be taken apart and fully explained.

Meros nodded subconsciously. Even the night watchers don't know much about the Bloodline, and the explanation from the Mother Earth Church is credible enough.

"So, your idea is to digest it by 'playing' the potion name?"

"In addition to that...... 'cosplay' is a reminder not to forget who I am." Douglas said this, his tone was a little uncertain. Regarding the details of the role, Russell did not mention it in his diary, and the following is all his own summary.

"Reminder?"

"That's right. Then it occurred to me that how do humans play the role of 'vampires'? The Bloods are born to feed on blood, but this is not the case with humans, and it is difficult for me to accept that I drink blood every day, even if it is not human. If you force yourself to drink blood in order to digest potions, then ...... What a torture. ”

This is also something that Al and Lorota disagree with...... This kind of unconscionable play is more likely to promote loss of control than to promote digestion! Merros frowned imperceptibly.

Douglas didn't ignore the teacher's changing expression and continued: "At this time, I thought of the spirit that you mentioned in the potion. Humans are not born supernatural, but have drawn on the abilities of various extraordinary creatures, and have been influenced by their remnant spirits, and I think the name of the potion must reflect that.

"So what I'm going to do is not to 'be' it, but to 'play' it, bypassing the influence of the remnant spirit by 'playing'! It's like the difference between an actor and a character, as long as you show characteristics such as mysterious, eccentric, afraid of the sun, and the company of bats, you can let the audience know that your character is a vampire even if you don't drink blood.

"The point is, it's not potions that shape me, it's that I digest potions! It's all just 'playing'! ”

In short, you can't lose yourself and go crazy!

Douglas believes that fellow villagers will certainly not be careless in guiding their children, and that Russell was already a high-level extraordinary person at that time, and his experience itself proves that the "acting" method is correct in the general direction.

After explaining this in circles, Douglas let out a long breath and watched Melros's reaction with a little nervousness. He guessed and said it to Merros with the purpose of letting the teacher check for him.

Melos listened to him and was silent for a long time before adding, "You can also try to summarize some of the rules for 'playing'. The 'voyeur' has a long-standing rule, 'Do whatever you want, but don't hurt'. ”

"Okay!" Douglas replied with a smile on his face, and said that there was indeed a corresponding information within the night watchman, and he didn't think about summarizing any rules at all.

Before that, because he could not reveal that he could understand Rosselvin, he did not dare to reveal to Father Schultz that he had just learned a mystery and began to summarize indiscriminately, preparing to obtain Merros's approval and guidance first.

However, presumably what the Night Church can know, it is impossible for the Mother Earth God Church to know nothing, not to mention that the blood clan can be monitored through the shadow bats, Douglas feels that this kind of thing does not need to be reported by himself at all.

After getting the desired result, he just wanted to get up and say goodbye, but was unexpectedly stopped by Merros.

"How's your martial arts level?" She asked.
