Byam, the "City of Generosity", in a rental house lit with gas wall lamps.

Verdu Abraham, who wore gold-rimmed glasses, held a thick stack of materials and read them in a not-so-bright light, occasionally drawing a symbol with a pen to record what he felt would be useful.

He left Rune and came to the Rorsted Islands, mainly to escape the sight of Dorian and other family members, to study the occult in peace, and to find an effective way to save his ancestor Bethel Abraham, or in other words, reliable knowledge to reduce the difficulty of the ritual.

However, more than half a year later, he still has no clue, and it seems that he has no other choice but to hunt down the "Sophist", "Parasite" and "Mystic Mage".

This made Verdu quite frustrated, but he also knew how dangerous the "0" level seal was, even if he was willing to sacrifice, he couldn't really control it, and it was difficult to guarantee what the final result would be.

And more importantly, he couldn't find "sophists" and "parasites" at all, these are all sages who are known for their secret whereabouts and strange styles.

Call...... Verdu put down the stack of materials in his hand and muttered to himself almost silently:

"Can we only hope for the 'fool' like Dorian?"

Thinking of the "Fool", Verdu couldn't help but frown, because there were more and more half-giants promoting the belief of the "Fool" in Byam City, so much so that he, who rarely went out, had heard of it.

This made him wonder if he had come to the vicinity of the headquarters of the Church of the Fools.

Had it not been for the fact that the Rorsted Islands secretly possessed more occult knowledge than Verdu had anticipated, and many of which were unattainable to the Abrahams, he would have left Byam for the Southern Continent a month ago.

"I can't stay any longer, book a ticket to Bailang East as soon as possible......" Verdu had just made a decision in his heart, and he wavered a little, "Neither Dorian nor the 'Fool' Church would have thought that I would hide in the area where their headquarters can radiate, Russell the Great once said that the most dangerous place is also the safest place......"

In hesitation, Verdu put away the materials, extinguished the wall lamp, and walked to the bedroom with the help of the moonlight outside the window.

In the corner of the balcony of his room, a figure suddenly burst out of the darkness and jumped over the fence.

The figure was like a feather, light and weightless, and when it fell to the ground from a height of more than ten meters, it did not make a single movement.

Immediately afterward, the figure sneaked along the shadowy part of the street to the vicinity of the Poseidon Church and ascended to the bell tower.

Then, "he" took out a pen and paper, brushed and wrote a report on tonight's surveillance, and stuffed it into a gap.

After about a quarter of an hour of the figure had left, the sound of the wind suddenly sounded over the bell tower.

The report was pulled out of the gap by the invisible hand, and flew off into the distance in the wind that blew through it, like a bat spreading its wings in the night.

It wasn't long before the report plummeted like a stone, landing on the palm of a hand jutting out of the darkness of the garden.

This hand belongs to Cardinal Alger Wilson of the Church of the Storm.

He then unfolded the report and read it carefully in the darkness of the night, unbothered by the lack of light.

- Even in the dark, deep sea, Alger can see his surroundings clearly.

"The idea of Verdu leaving Byam is becoming clearer......" Alger nodded imperceptibly, summing up in his mind.

For more than half a year, he has been monitoring the members of the Abraham family according to Mr. "Fool's orders", but he has never found any unusual behavior on the other side.

By the time Verdu had left the Rorsted Islands, his mission would be complete.

However, Alger didn't want to end there, believing that he hadn't contributed enough, and had simply monitored a Sequence 7 that wasn't anything special.

- The Hermit has obtained the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 3 from the Mysterious Queen, and has collected the corresponding supporting materials, and is busy preparing for the ceremony. This put a lot of psychological pressure on Alger. Of course, in addition to monitoring Verdu, he also did a lot of things according to Mr. "Fool", but even he felt that there was still a big gap between this and the identity, personality, and power of the "sea god".

For a moment, Alger tried to indirectly force Wildu Abraham to expose his problems in various ways, but eventually gave up on the idea, as he could not be sure whether Mr. "Fool" had good intentions or bad intentions towards that target.

- When Silver City and Moon City sold out their extraordinary traits and potion recipes, Alger had purchased some from the Tarot Society to cultivate a team of Extraordinary Ones who were independent of the Church of the Storm and loyal to him and hid in the dark, and this is where the personnel who monitored Verdu came from.

Currently, most of these squads of less than ten members are Sequence 9, with only a few promotions to Sequence 8.

As for where Alger's money for the extraordinary properties and potion recipes came from, the answer is very simple:

As a cardinal who presides over a diocese, Alger can easily "save" a sum of money for himself to spend, and in the previous period, the mines, plantations, spice estates and factories in the Rorsted Islands were sold off at a price below their own value, and as long as they could afford to buy, they could make a lot of money every once in a while.

What's more, the Storm Church headquarters also had a lot of interest in the extraordinary properties and potion recipes sold in Silver City and Moon City, and provided a large amount of money for the purchase. As for the person who handled it, there is no doubt Cardinal Alger Wilson of the diocese of Rorsted, and some attrition in a similar process is understandably inevitable.

Rethinking his thoughts, Alger decided to use his Shadow Guardian to sell some occult knowledge in some of Byam's circles of Extraordinary, in order to catch Verdu Abraham and delay as long as he could.

"The main reason is that the mission in Silver City scared that gentleman......" Alger shook his head and muttered to himself.

He quickly destroyed the report in his hand and walked back to the inside of the church.

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

As soon as the morning dawned, a young man walked out of the hotel and leisurely enjoyed the early morning scenery of Byam.

He had just bought the "Teyana" drink in the husk of the fruit from a vendor when he suddenly felt a large shadow appear next to him.

The young man turned his head, looked up a little, and noticed a half-giant approaching nearly two and a half meters.

"Can you take a moment of your time, sir? I would like to tell you about our sign and our Savior, Mr. 'Fool'. The half-giant bent down, trying to make his smile kind.

The young man took a sip of "Teyana", pointed to the side, smiled and nodded:

"Okay, but not here. ”

He then walked to the point where no one else was in the way, and the oppressive-looking half-giant followed gently.

"You can talk about it. The young man made no secret of his curiosity.

The tall and sturdy half-giant's expression suddenly became solemn:

"Our lord calls himself the 'Fool', in the past, in the present, and in the future, he is the great master of the spiritual realm, the king of yellow and black who governs good fortune, and the symbol of every living being's pursuit of eternity.

"My Lord dwells in reality and in the spiritual realm, and mercy is sprinkled over heaven and earth, and there are six angels standing at His throne......

"The Angel of Mercury is the embodiment of destiny and the angel of my Lord's favorite, the Angel of Death is the being who has followed my Lord for the longest time and is the consul of the underworld, the Angel of Redemption is the trumpet of our Lord and the messenger of His oracles, and the Angel of Life is the crystallization of wisdom and the indelible spirituality in every human being. ”

Hearing this, the young man laughed:

"Your Lord is truly powerful, and there are so many angels with titles to serve. ”

"More than that. The half-giant replied gently, "Next to the throne of the Lord there is the 'Angel of Punishment,' who is the thunder of the Lord, the wrath of the Lord, and the palm of the Lord, the judge and executioner of all the fallen and the unclean.

"In contrast to the 'Angel of Punishment' is the 'Angel of Time', who was the 'King' of the ancient ages and finally surrendered to our Lord and struck the bell of heaven for Him. ”

"Awesome, awesome. The young man exclaimed heartily.

Hearing this response, the half-giant could not help but smile, and then described in the most concise words the miracles of Mr. "Fool", and finally said:

"It's been a quarter of an hour, so don't waste your time, if you're interested, you can go to the 'Fool' Church at 16 Phillips Street to learn more, this is our largest church in Byam, hehe, the others are still in the pipeline. ”

The young man nodded:

"If I have time, I'll take a look. ”

After seeing the half-giant turn away, the young man smiled and took out a monocle made of crystal from his coat pocket and put it on his right eye.

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

The half-giant made it all the way back to his dining room and changed into a chef's suit.

"Badr, you're on a mission again?" the restaurateur asked with a smile.

When the industry association recommended this half-giant to learn cooking, he was still resistant, always thinking that the other party could kill him with a casual flick of his arm, and he didn't look like a person with culinary talent.

But now, he is very satisfied with Badr, this half-giant is not only honest, obedient, and able to endure hardships, but also has a strong deterrent power, so that the villains on the street do not dare to fight the idea of the restaurant again.

The only problem is that Badr goes out once a day in the morning to preach the "foolish" faith.

Of course, since this is not during working hours, the restaurateur can't say anything and doesn't mind.

Badr smiled innocently, walked into the back kitchen, and said to his friend Bonn who came to join him:

"I can teach you how to make grilled fish today. ”

Bonn looked more normal, but his two eyes looked awkward, belonging to the kind of Yuecheng people who were not too seriously deformed, and had the courage to communicate with outsiders, he nodded when he heard this:

"I'll have to say a prayer first. Mr. 'Fool' sent down an oracle for all the people of Mooncity to make a wish to him at nine o'clock this morning, hoping that there would be no more deformities. ”
