Chapter 217: A New Day

"The Dusk Hermit will ......

"What kind of organization is this? How come I've never heard of it?" Mr. 'Hanged Man' didn't mention even a single ...... when he explained the common sense of the various forces to me."

Audrey was stunned and confused, and then found that the gray fog in front of her had faded, and the condescending figure of Mr. "Fool" had disappeared.

Her eyes rolled slightly, and she quickly guessed:

This organization called the "Dusk Hermit Society" sounds more mysterious and unknown than the "Aurora Society", "Life School" and other underground forces, so that Mr. "The Hanging Man", who is rich in knowledge and knowledgeable and has a close relationship with the Storm Church, does not know about its existence......

And their planned actions are directed at the great nobles of the kingdom, one of the most powerful people in the world......

They may be the deepest observers of the transcendent world, the real manipulators, influencing the situation in the North and South Continents, no wonder Mr. "Fool" is concerned......

The last time Mr. "The Hanged Man" asked for the help of His Dependents, he was able to succeed, not because the promised reward was generous enough, but because Mr. "Fool" himself was targeting the "Dusk Hermit" ......

This organization is as mysterious as our "Tarot Society......

Audrey was inexplicably a little excited, which downplayed the impact of Duke Negan's assassination.

"There are certainly not many extraordinary people who know about the existence of the 'Dusk Hermit Society', and I am one of them, and our Tarot Society is targeting them!" Audrey stood up and walked over to the full-length mirror.

Her chin was slightly raised, and it was unusually beautiful.

Looking at the blue-eyed girl in the mirror, Audrey slowly calmed down, and for the first time, she had the idea of urgently improving her own sequence due to elements other than her interests:

"Duke Negan, an extraordinary person under strict protection, will be assassinated, let alone just an ordinary father.

"Although judging from the situation of the treasure house, there must be many extraordinary people in the family, and the Church of the Goddess will provide additional protection, but this is still not reassuring, and Duke Negan's guard is no worse than this......

"Come on, Audrey, advance to Sequence 7, Sequence 6 as soon as possible, hide in the shadows, and be the last line of defense for Dad, Mom, and Brothers!"

............

The capital of the Rorsted Islands, the city of generosity.

Once again, the Blue Avenger passed by and anchored in the harbor, giving sailors a chance to indulge and vent.

Alger Wilson changed into a robe embroidered with a storm pattern and went to the Church of the Waves, the largest church on the island.

It is classical in style, with extensive use of stone columns and arches, and has a large soaring dome and two bell towers

- In the early days of colonization, the pioneers often did not have time to build churches, which had very serious consequences for them.

Surrounded by tribes, jungles, and ancient buildings, even if they have conquered the region, they often die mysteriously, for no reason, in large areas.

This kind of panic caused by this situation gradually decreased after the construction of the churches of the major churches, and became an occasional occurrence.

Standing at the door of the church, Alger did not rush inside, but looked through the light shining through the narrow windows on the heights, observing the dark and mysterious atmosphere inside, and the warm candlelight that illuminated the area of human activity.

A few seconds later, he walked into the Great Prayer Hall, clenched his right fist, struck his left chest, and said to his bishop opposite:

"The storm is with you!"

"The storm is with you!" the bishop replied in the same gesture.

Before Alger could speak, the bishop of the Church of the Waves pulled out a telegram:

"You came just in time, the Council of Cardinals has given an order, and after reading it, pray again. ”

"What order?" said Alger casually, holding out his hand to take it.

The bishop said with a solemn expression:

"Duke Negan was assassinated, and the Council of Cardinals brought all the punishments and priests to the attention of the Rogue 'Black Emperor' and all the events involving the Tarot ritual. ”

"The Dark Emperor?" Alger expressed his surprise.

He already knew that the "Black Emperor" was a relative of Mr. "Fool".

The bishop solemnly bowed:

"The assassination of Duke Negan was a Sequence 5 demon, but this demon was killed by the grand thief 'Black Emperor' on the way to escape, which is the same as the 'Hurricane Lieutenant General' Ziringers who failed to assassinate the Duke. ”

Not only the outward manifestation, but also the essence...... The same person who killed Zilingers was Mr. Fool's dependent, and another dependant was ...... No, if it was really him, he would have reminded Zillingers last time to be careful of Miss "Justice" so that his identity would not be revealed on the spot...... Mr. "Fool" was looking at the hidden truth behind the assassination, and on the real murderer? Who could it be, or which organization, made Mr. "Fool" pay so much attention? Alger instantly thought of many things and made a preliminary judgment.

He looked down at the telegram and found that the church had set up a special investigation team for the assassination of Duke Negan, and each member of the team was the elite of the punishers.

Should I apply to join and keep abreast of the trend? Alger hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he decided to follow the original plan and develop in a low-key manner.

On the new day, Klein slept until he woke up naturally, got up slowly, washed up and went downstairs.

He did not rush to prepare breakfast, but habitually opened the door, bathed in mist, and took out today's newspaper from the newspaper box.

"What's that?" Suddenly, he noticed that the newspaper was sandwiched in a thick envelope, not too light.

Pinching the surface, the scent of ink from banknotes flashed through Crane's mind.

His spiritual instincts told him that there was a lot of cash inside.

He carefully unwrapped it and pulled out the stack of gold pounds.

After counting the bills, he confirmed that there were 1,000 pounds in total.

"It's a bounty from the Heart of the Machine...... This is what they call secret giving? How can they be so relieved? Just put it in the mailbox like this? What if it is stolen?" Klein couldn't help but complain in joy.

With this money, and no longer secretly protected by the "Heart of the Machine", he can go to the vampire Emlyn White and complete the previous deal!

After breakfast, Klein immediately put on his coat, hat, picked up his cane, and went out with a newspaper.

On his way to the public carriage stop, he saw the landlady, Mrs. Starlene Summer, directing the maid to load the suitcase into the carriage in front of the door.

"Good morning, Mrs. Summer. Crane smiled and said hello.

Starlene smiled reservedly and greeted back.

Her mental state seemed to have returned...... I don't know what happened to me before...... Klein asked curiously:

"Where are you going?"

"It's almost New Year, Mary gave Luke the holiday in advance, and we are planning to go to Didey Bay to welcome the new year. Starling took the initiative to say, "Well, we have been to several cities there, and the famous coastal town is the same, and we are going to Fenerport this time, and the scenery of Seville is said to be very good." ”

Klein responded cooperatively:

"It's really enviable. ”

"What about you, Detective Moriarty, where are you going to spend the New Year?" asked Starlene with a smile.

I'm likely to stay local...... By the way, you have to prepare tools to repair the walls that were punched out by Stuart earlier...... The corners of Crane's mouth turned up:

"Back to the sea, winter there has a different taste. ”

Starlene's smile became more and more obvious:

"Hope to see you in the New Year in the future at Desey Bay. ”

............

Bridge South District, Yuejihua Street, Harvest Church.

As soon as Detective Sherlock Moriarty in a black tweed coat came in, Emlyn White smiled as she carefully wiped the candlestick.

He straightened his hair, walked over with his head held high, and said in a low voice:

"There's information from Jason Beria, and a Bloodline knows him. ”

"I also have his information. Crane smiled and handed over the newspaper he was holding, and the headline on the front page was:

"Yesterday, the Venerable Duke Negan was assassinated, and the true demon ravaged the land. ”

Below the headline is a detailed description of yesterday's assassination, which states that the killer was a banker named Patrick Jason who was killed instantly, and that the terrorist group Aurora would claim responsibility.

When I saw the news before, Crane, who was at breakfast, almost squirted milk.

At first, he thought that Mr. A. of the Aurora Club had a broken head and had to rush to bear this kind of thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was closer to an official cover-up.

If the "Dusk Hermit Society" is really an ancient organization that Russell the Great joined, then they should be very hostile to the Aurora Society, after all, they hate the "True Creator...... Crane suddenly flashed this thought.

Emlyn looked at the newspaper repeatedly with a blank expression, and said in disbelief:

"In other words, the information I got is useless?"

"Theoretically, so. Crane glanced at Mr. Vampire sympathetically, "However, the official organization is still investigating the main messenger behind Jason Beria, and if your intelligence points to this direction, you should still be able to sell it." ”

As for Klein himself, of course, he didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore.

"No...... He just knew Jason Beria and knew some of his hobbies. Emlyn sighed.

Seeing his reaction, Klein asked with a smile:

"Don't you usually read the newspaper?"

I didn't know about such a big thing until now!

Emlyn glanced at him strangely:

"Why read newspapers?

"I'm busy. ”

Busy cleaning in the Harvest Church, busy going home with those dolls, busy trying to find a way to trick blood to drink...... You're a new-age vampire...... Crane opened his mouth and forcibly suppressed the impending laughter with the ability of the "Joker".

He didn't tease Emlyn White, but said seriously:

"I've raised enough gold pounds for those two materials.

"When can you give me the materials?"
