Listening to the squirming behind the door, Crane's hand that was about to knock on the door stopped in mid-air, neither knocking nor putting it down.

As an outstanding young man in the Internet era who has traveled through the 21st century, even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run. The ability shown by the "Apostle of Desire" in the previous battle, as well as Angel's strange behavior after the war, coupled with the voice coming from behind the door now, if he still doesn't understand what happened to the other party, it will be self-deception.

To his surprise, to his relief, Angel still remembers him at the moment, remembering the "Klein" who has been buried in the city of Tingen.

But he is now Sherlock Moriarty, not Klein. Moretti ......

"Angel ......"

Fingers touched the door, and he silently responded, then held his breath and slowly stepped back with the dexterity of a clown, his feet on the carpet step by step away from Angel's room, heavy but not making a sound.

It wasn't until he retreated to the other end of the hallway that Klein's tense shoulders relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.

That sounds like a sigh.

————

The next morning, Angel walked out of the room and went to the first floor.

After yesterday's "temporary method", her excess desires have been alleviated to a certain extent, and if she doesn't try to wear the "Ring of Madness", she shouldn't face such a situation again in the short term.

Of course, as an alternative, the craving for flesh and blood for the "Faceling" trait of her face is to be relieved by eating a good meal of meat for breakfast.

What made her cry and laugh was that the "Witch of Pleasure" potion in her body had already shown a hint of digestion, although it was not obvious, but it pointed to a way to make her blush and heartbeat.

"It's more difficult to choose than burning the bridge in Beckland......"

She thought to herself, pushing open the door and walking into the living room.

The black-haired and blue-eyed female detective Kaslana was already sitting at the dining table, looking down at a newspaper, and when she heard Angel come to the first floor, she looked up at this side, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said hello.

She was dominated by fear yesterday, and her wrist was still wrapped in gauze when she was shot by Sherlock when she raised her gun to attack her companion, but it no longer affected her movements, and as an extraordinary person, her ability to recover far beyond ordinary people is also one of her advantages.

Her assistant, Lydia, a young lady with red hair, was pouring coffee on the table, and five coffee cups were placed side by side, and the freshly brewed coffee was poured into the cups one by one, and the rich aroma instantly filled the room.

This series of actions reminded Angel of Miss Roseanne of Black Thorn Security, and she couldn't help but smile, find an empty seat, and sit at the table.

"Recovered?"

The female detective saw her sit down and asked coldly.

Angel's whole body tensed instantly, and he didn't know if the other party had heard something yesterday, and this question meant something.

The soundproofing between the rooms on the second floor was not very good, and she couldn't tell if there was any strange sound between the dimness, so she was a little suspicious. Fortunately, Kaslana seemed to just ask casually, and then shifted her interest to the newspaper in her hand.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm much better......"

As soon as she spoke, she found that her voice was even hoarser than yesterday.

Lydia thoughtfully handed over a teacup, and Angel took it, revealing that it was not freshly brewed coffee, but warm black tea.

After thanking her thoughtful assistant, she drank the tea from her cup and looked around to see no other two men.

"Stanton and Mr. Moriarty make breakfast in the kitchen."

Kaslana said, taking a sip of a cup of coffee, her facial features wrinkled, I don't know if it was hot or bitter.

"Breakfast? Are they hands-on? ”

"That's right, because it happened yesterday...... Mr. Stanton informed several other servants and cooks that they had been given a short vacation during this time, so that the three meals had to be taken care of by themselves. ”

Thinking of the male assistant who was tragically killed yesterday, the three ladies were silent.

After a few moments, the door was pushed open, and Isenger and Sherlock returned with their work, only to make the oppressive atmosphere a little less, and Lydia offered to help divide the meal, adding fragrant hash browns, fried half-cooked eggs, crispy sausages and vegetable salad to the plate in front of everyone, and everyone enjoyed a hearty breakfast with freshly brewed coffee.

"It's just right, what's added to the hash browns? Why does it smell so good? ”

Quickly solved most of the food, and Kaslana, who slowed down, had time to comment on the quality of today's breakfast.

"With some Seville cheese, which is a specialty in Lemburg, and the eggs are fried by Sherlock, he is much better than me."

Issinger wiped his mouth with a napkin, a smile on his face.

Angel, who was busy eating, glanced at Sherlock curiously, and quickly looked away as the other looked back blankly.

She was a little interested in the mastery of the detective, who lived alone, but more of an embarrassment at what had happened yesterday, and who had sent her to the second floor, where she might have noticed something, and might even have heard something she shouldn't have heard......

But it's impossible for her to ask the other party directly about this kind of thing, so let it all rot in her stomach!

Cutting open the skin of the sausage, Angel thought indignantly.

————

After cleaning up the dishes, several people regathered around the fireplace to talk about the "Apostle of Desire".

As the only "ordinary person" present, Lydia was not supposed to be listening to these contents, but the hapless assistant has been involved in the transcendent event and has been discovered by the "mechanical heart", and will inevitably face the choice of "keeping it secret or joining" afterwards, and her employer Kaslana still keeps her behind to discuss future actions.

The first of them told each other about their potion sequence, and unsurprisingly, Kaslana was the "arbiter" of the path to Sequence 8, the sheriff, which gave her the extraordinary ability to shock others through words and actions, the sensitivity to catch any anomaly, and the ability to fight well.

The potions of this path are basically in the hands of Rune's royal family, military, or ancient nobles, and this female detective was able to advance to Sequence 8, most likely with a relevant background, but she didn't mention it, and it was inconvenient for everyone to ask.

When it comes to martial arts, Issinger strokes his neck with an embarrassed expression, he was seriously injured by the sheriff's unexpected kick yesterday, even if it is an element of seduction, he is too embarrassed.

And this well-known private detective in Bakeland, Eisinger Stanton, is the sequence 7 of the "reader" pathway, "The Keeper of Knowledge", also known as "Detective", can be said to be extremely suitable for his current work, and it is convenient to play related roles.

The lower sequence of this path focuses on improving memory and comprehension, and he is also an expert in ritual magic, and he will not have good fighting ability and weapon use until the middle sequence, but judging by Isengard's performance, he should be good at mental work rather than hands-on.

He also showed off the magical item he had used yesterday to heal his injuries and limit the demonized "Apostle of Desire", the ring that the "Eye of Wisdom" used frequently at his party, with an eye-catching emerald surrounded by fine diamonds and sparkling with dazzling brilliance around the fire.

"This is a sequence 6 of the 'reader' path, the ring formed after the 'polymath' is out of control, it allows me to identify many extraordinary abilities, and simulate it, for my use, of course, the effect is usually not as good as the 'genuine', its biggest feature is that as long as the ability is simulated, it can also be used by me later."

With a smile on her face, Issinger ostentatiously held the ring for everyone to look closely, and Angel felt a little dizzy just by fixing her eyes on the gem, which made her more and more sure that the old detective in front of her was the "Eye of Wisdom".

Obviously, one of the reasons for the other party to show this magical item is to take the initiative to show kindness, so that Angel and Sherlock know their identity, and at the same time, it also represents another meaning: I already recognize you.

Of course, showing off magical items would bring him a sense of satisfaction in itself, which is probably the fundamental purpose of the organizers of the Extraordinary Gathering's frequent purchase and collection of magical items.

In addition to feeling Eissinger's identity, Angel also has a deep understanding of the power of the "reader" approach, and the effects of magical items are all derived from the extraordinary characteristics of a certain sequence, which means that the "Erudito" of Sequence 6 also has the ability to "learn" and "simulate" no less than this ring.

According to Issinger, as long as he has seen a certain ability many times, and after learning it enough, the "polymath" can repeatedly simulate this extraordinary ability, and as long as the extraordinary person sees enough and learns fast enough, he can have different abilities in each way like a "shepherd", and there is no limit to the number of shepherds.

I feel like this ring is even more powerful than my "Rose Necklace...... Well, but I don't know about its negative effects, just looking at the gems on the ring makes me feel a little overused, and it seems that most of its side effects are related to this......

Angel looked at the gemstone ring in Issinger's hand with some envy until the other party put it in his pocket and continued to talk about the "Apostle of Desire".

This "wild" extraordinary person who has a close connection with the "mechanical heart" revealed that it is not only the extraordinary person of the Church of Steam and the Machine God who participated in the capture of the "Apostle of Desire", but also the Church of the Goddess of the Night has also sent a night watchman, and the latter has already opened a powerful seal, once this seal is put into use, the "Apostle of Desire" will inevitably be easily solved as long as he is still in Beckland.

"So why not put it into use sooner? For example, when the Apostle of Desire appeared yesterday, if there was this seal......"

Sherlock asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's codenamed '1-42', and I think that code name says a lot about it," Isenger explained to Kaslana and Lydia, who didn't know the seal's codename, before continuing, "I heard that this seal is a full-body armor, a cursed armor that indirectly led to the destruction of a city of more than 100,000 people, and was finally sealed by the Night Church. Because it is too dangerous, it is difficult to obtain permission to open it, and only when it is confirmed that the enemy is difficult to track down and difficult to solve, the church will use it for a short time, and then seal it immediately. ”

Level 1 Seal...... It is in the category of high danger, and even in a parish like Beckland, there are probably only one or two......

Angel remembered the accounts inside the church.

"Hopefully, when it is unsealed, the 'Apostle of Desire' will still be in Beckland...... Well, I mean, we're still there. ”

Kaslana sighed.

After being controlled by fear yesterday, this extraordinary person has been in a state of depression, and although he has recovered from a hearty and delicious breakfast today, he still shows a considerable degree of negativity at this time.

I don't know if it was the ability of the "sheriff", her pessimism quickly infected several people present, and just when the living room fell into a long silence, the doorbell rang.

Several people glanced at each other, got up at the same time, and leaned over to the door, Angel took a deep breath and carefully opened the door.

Standing outside was Iconser Bernard, who was led by Mechanical Heart yesterday, still dressed in a trench coat and top hat, but his brown hair lifted the top hat like spikes, and stubbornly poked out the brim, as if a vigilant hedgehog was hiding underneath.

"We've found the clue to the 'Apostle of Desire.'"
