Chapter 217: A New Day

"The Twilight Hermit will...

"What kind of organization is this? Why have I never heard of it? When Mr. Hanged Man explained the common sense of various forces to me, he didn't mention even a little bit..."

Audrey was stunned and confused, and then found that the gray fog in front of her eyes had faded, and Mister Fool's condescending figure had disappeared.

She turned her eyes slightly, and quickly had a guess:

This organization called "Twilight Hermit Society" sounds more mysterious and unknown than underground forces such as "Aurora Society" and "Life School". Mr. Hanged Man doesn't even know it exists...

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

They may be the deepest observers of the extraordinary world, the real manipulators, affecting the situation in the northern and southern continents, no wonder they are paid attention to by Mister Fool...

The last time Mr. "The Hanged Man" asked his favored help to succeed, it was not because the promised reward was rich enough, but because Mr. "Fool" himself was targeting the "Twilight Hermit Society"...

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

Audrey was inexplicably agitated, which downplayed the impact of Duke Negan's assassination on her.

"There must not be many Extraordinary people who know the existence of the 'Twilight Hermit Society', and I am one of them, and our Tarot Society is targeting them!" Audrey stood up and walked to the full-length mirror.

Her chin had an unusually beautiful arc due to the slight lift.

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

"The Extraordinary Duke Negan under strict protection will be assassinated, let alone the father of an ordinary person.

"Although judging from the situation in 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. Duke Negan's guards are no worse than this...

"Come on, Audrey, advance to Sequence 7 and Sequence 6 as soon as possible, hide in the dark, and be the last line of defense for father, mother, and brothers!"

The capital of Rorsted Islands, the city of generosity.

The "Blue Avenger" passed by here again, mooring in the port, giving the sailors a chance to indulge and vent.

Alger Wilson changed into a robe embroidered with storm patterns, and came to the largest church on the island—the Church of the Sea Waves.

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

—In the early days of colonization, those pioneers often had no time to build churches, and this had very serious consequences for them.

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

This situation, which caused great panic, gradually diminished and became an occasional occurrence after the churches of the major churches were built.

Standing at the door of the church, Alger didn't rush in. Instead, he looked at the dark and mysterious atmosphere inside through the light from the high narrow windows, as well as the warm candlelight that illuminated the human activity area one by one.

A few seconds later, he stepped into the large prayer hall, clenched his right fist, hit his left chest, and said to his bishop opposite:

"The storm is with you!"

"The storm be with you!" the bishop responded with the same gesture.

Before Alger could speak, the bishop of the Wave Church took out a telegram:

"You came just in time. The Council of Cardinals has issued an order. After reading it, we will pray."

"What order?" Argel asked casually while reaching out to take it.

The bishop said solemnly:

"Duke Negan was assassinated, and the Council of Cardinals asked all the punishers and priests to pay attention to the situation related to the thief 'Dark Emperor', as well as all the incidents involving the Tarot ceremony."

"Grand Thief 'Dark Emperor'?" Alger fully expressed his surprise.

He already knew that the "Dark Emperor" was the favored person of Mister Fool.

The bishop solemnly nodded and said:

"The one who assassinated Duke Negan was a Sequence 5 demon, but this demon was killed by the rogue "Dark Emperor" on the way to escape. This is the same fate as "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus who failed to assassinate the Duke."

Not only is the external form the same, but the essence is also the same... The one who killed Qilingos was also Mister Fool's favored person, another favored person... The one who really wanted Duke Negan to die was "" Mister Fool? No, if it was really him, he would have reminded Qilingos last time, telling him to be careful of Miss Justice, so as not to expose her identity on the spot... Mister Fool was looking at the hidden truth behind the assassination incident, and he was looking at the The real murderer? Who, or which organization, made Mister Fool attach so much importance? 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 team member was an elite among the punishers.

Do I want to apply to join and keep abreast of trends? Alger hesitated for a moment.

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

On a new day, Klein woke up naturally after sleeping until he woke up slowly, washed up and went downstairs.

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

"What?" Suddenly, he found a thick envelope in the newspaper, which was not too light.

After pinching the surface, Klein's mind flashed the scent of the banknote's ink.

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

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

After counting, he confirmed that there were a total of 1,000 pounds in banknotes.

"It's the bounty given by the 'Mechanical Heart'... This is their so-called secret offering? Why are they so relieved? Just put it in the letter box like this? What if it is stolen?" Klein endured the joy. Can't help complaining.

With this money, and without being secretly protected by the "Mechanical Heart", he can go to the vampire Emlyn White and complete the previous deal!

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

When he was heading to the stage of the stagecoach, he saw the landlady, Mrs. Starling Summer directing the maid to load the suitcase into the stagecoach in front of the door.

"Good morning, Mrs. Summer." Klein greeted with a smile.

Starling smiled reservedly and greeted her back.

Her mental state seems to have recovered... I don't know what happened before... Klein asked curiously:

"Where are you going?"

"New Year's is coming, Mary gave Luke a holiday in advance, and we plan to go to Dixie Bay to welcome the New Year." Starling said proactively, "Hey, we have been to several cities there, the famous Binhai The same goes for small towns, we are planning to go to Feneport this time, and the scenery in 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?" Starling asked with a smile.

There is a high probability that I will stay here... By the way, I have to prepare tools to repair the wall that Stuart made a hole in before... Klein turned his mouth up and said:

"Huijianhai, the winter there has a different taste."

Starling's smile became more and more obvious:

"Hope to meet you in Dissi Bay in the next New Year."

Bridge South District, Rose Street, Harvest Church.

Emlyn White, who was carefully wiping the candlesticks, smiled when she saw Detective Sherlock Moriarty in a black wool coat come in.

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

"There is information about Jason Beria, a blood race knows him."

"I also have information about him." Klein smiled and handed over the newspaper he was holding. The headline on the front page read:

"Yesterday, the honorable Duke Negan was assassinated, and real demons ravaged the land."

Under the title is a detailed description of yesterday's assassination, pointing out that the murderer was a banker named Patrick Jason who was shot dead on the spot, and the terrorist organization Aurora Society claimed responsibility for the incident.

When he saw the news before, Klein, who was having breakfast, almost spit out milk.

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

If the "Twilight Hermit Society" is really an ancient organization that Emperor Roselle joined, then they should be very hostile to the Aurora Society. After all, they hate the "True Creator"... Klein suddenly had such a thought.

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

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

"In theory." Klein gave Mr. Vampire a sympathetic look, "However, the official organization is still investigating the mastermind behind Jason Beria. If your information 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.

"No...he just knows Jason Beria and knows some of his hobbies." Emlyn sighed.

Seeing his reaction, Klein asked amusedly:

"Don't you usually read newspapers?"

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

Emlyn glanced at him strangely:

"Why do you read the newspaper?

"I'm very busy."

Busy cleaning at the Harvest Church, busy going home to accompany those dolls, busy trying to cheat blood to drink... You are really a vampire of the new era... Klein opened his mouth and forcibly suppressed it with the ability of "Joker" the impending laughter.

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

"I have raised enough gold pounds for those two materials.

"When can you give me the materials?"
