"Don't use your mortal mind to speculate on the thoughts of the gods... Our Lord is very fond of you, Copper Phil... Don't forget that after you defected from the 'Shadowless Order', we have been supporting you and training you.
, and are even prepared to help you unlock the fourth essence... This is the will and gift of our Lord... When you become a non-human existence, you will be the favored one of the suffering God! His pioneer! He is on the earth.
The person who represents you!"
The evil believer said in a chanting tone: "This is a glory that we can't even achieve even if we worship it thousands of times. You should be grateful."
Copperfield sneered: "No, you just plan to use me... You use me to commit crimes in Pulmouth to attract the attention of the Investigation Bureau... Or to give the person behind you an excuse to let him in the Kingdom
The upper-level collaborators have an excuse that allows the Bureau to focus on more sensational things, like me! Instead of paying attention to your machinations! I am a magician, and never try to deceive a magician who is good at playing with the audience's hearts.
.”
"You are very smart..." The evil believer holding the statue of the God of Passion was silent for a long time, and there seemed to be light falling on the red figure.
The darkness in the sewer gradually became thicker.
"The Master of Thorns and Blood.
The Fallen and Scarlet Beloved.
The great God of suffering.”
The evil believer began to recite the name of the God of Suffering. When the atmosphere became more tense, he suddenly changed to a gentle voice and said: "Copper Phil... tell me your choice!"
Copperfield suddenly laughed and made a funny bow in a clown-like manner: "The great 'god of suffering' has come in person. Of course I can only choose to cooperate... I have already seen the door,
As long as I perform another grand performance, I can be promoted in the ceremony and become a real 'Shadowless One'! This is my lifelong pursuit!"
The closer one is to God, the less pious he is.
By the time he reached Copperfield's level, he had vaguely guessed that the God of Suffering was just a high-level Extraordinary.
Even, it is directly the leader of the Yuling Sect!
"I'm looking forward to..."
The voices of evil believers gradually faded away, the depravity and darkness in the sewer slowly faded, and everything turned into dead silence...
…
Halsey's Moving Castle.
In the corridor, William followed Aaron, bowing his head and being as humble as a servant.
Through previous divination, Aaron has generally confirmed that Copperfield is involved in a huge conspiracy and is directly related to William.
After all, he himself has always been secretive about his whereabouts, and the only flaw in the Hunter Bar is William.
As for William, the only recent cases are the Blood Club and Mary Street cases!
This allowed Aaron to easily identify the suspect, but there is no need to go into detail.
He walked up to the living room on the third floor and called a waiter: "I want to see Mr. Halsey!"
The waiter left in a hurry, and not long after, Halsey, dressed in fine clothes, opened the door and walked in.
This ability to move quickly made Aaron very envious.
"Green, what happened?"
After greeting each other, Halsey asked quickly after seeing Aaron's slightly solemn expression.
"Something did happen." Aaron briefly introduced what happened when Copperfield came to the bar to cause trouble tonight.
"Damn it, this Copperfield...he knows that there is my castle behind the bar, and he is provoking!" A trace of anger suddenly flashed across Halsey's face.
Whether they are gangsters or hidden forces, they are always very sensitive to territory.
"It's just that this magician is really difficult to catch." Halsey then sighed: "You should have guessed that there must be a big force behind this magician. Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago.
His whereabouts were divined."
"Yes..." Aaron said to Halsey: "The main reason I came here this time is to inform you that the sign of the Hunter Bar should be changed to another position..."
Halsey suddenly felt relieved: "It's great that you can think of this...I assure you that the ownership of this entrance is still yours."
Something like this happened at the Hunter Bar tonight. There was no way to block the news. The news would spread all over the place the next day, attracting the attention of the Bureau of Investigation.
Neither Halsey nor Aaron wanted to confront the Bureau head-on, because it would do no good.
Fortunately, the entrance to this castle can be moved at will. Just close the door at the bar, and then you can find another place to reset.
It can be a door in an alley, the inner wall of a cupboard in a certain house, or even the sewer entrance of any toilet.
When it comes to arranging passages, Aaron feels that Halsey has some strange habits, which may be due to his horrific experiences of being teleported.
"Then, I'll leave this matter to you."
Aaron smiled and said: "As for me, I will take a break for a while. Well, with William."
Even if the bar is exposed, the unlucky person is only Green Potter's identity and has nothing to do with the middle-aged man who rents at No. 27 Phoenix Street.
Aaron could hide with William for a while. He turned to look at William and found that the boy's face was really moved.
'Well, with a little more teaching, he will be a good manservant.'
He thought with satisfaction.
"Aaron, I'm afraid you're here just for this reason, right?" Halsey asked.
"Yes, I want to buy some information about the magician." Aaron answered calmly.
"No problem, I can give you the lowest price, or deduct it from the casting fee." Halsey snapped his fingers, and a waiter immediately came forward. After a few instructions from him, he bowed and went out, holding many documents.
.
Halsey picked up the top one, glanced at it briefly, and suddenly smiled.
"What a coincidence... There was a sensational news about him recently. Do you want to know?" He blinked and asked.
Aaron was speechless for a moment: "Speak directly, Halsey..."
"Okay, okay, I just want to liven up the atmosphere."
Halsey raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Well... Mr. Copperfield just sent a postcard to Momora Field today."
"He announced that he will steal Queen Mary's diamond necklace Heart of the Ocean at the 'Royal Art Exhibition' next Thursday, February 11th. It is a very famous and valuable work of art.
!”
"Royal art exhibition?" Aaron asked.
"Well, it is organized by the royal family, and some of the treasures, famous paintings, statues and other works of art are displayed. It is mainly for showing off. Don't believe the cultural influence and atmosphere mentioned in the school..." Halsey curled her lips:
"And the organizer is the royal family of Sodom, so... you know."
"The dignity and face of the royal family will never allow this exhibition to be stopped just because of a threatening letter." Aaron thought about the habits of the nobles and said.
"Yes, in the older Fabry dynasty, two nobles would even mobilize private soldiers to start a war just for the sake of face. It's really boring..." Halsey commented lightly.
