"Wil, everyone who comes to the church is a devout believer in the Lord. There are no strangers here. I suggest you consult Legira in this regard."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Father Holos." Outside the Not Big Storm Church, the policeman in charge of this area, Weir, was talking to the church host, Father Holos. Legira is a clergyman of the Night Church here.
People who believe in differences in the relationship between men and women often find fault with each other.
After getting the answer, Weir walked towards the Night Church on the other side. The road became very muddy due to the trampling of horse-drawn carriages and cattle and sheep. Thinking that there were still several places to run, Weir complained to his superiors.
After the previous war ended, the Church of Steam began to gradually withdraw from the Loen region as the defeated party. The Church of Night and Storm had another task of converting believers. Weir walked into the Church of Night and found Ms. Legira comforting a middle-aged woman.
"Ms. Legira, good afternoon, what's going on?" Veer asked after seeing this scene.
"Wil, you came just in time. Her husband hasn't been home for a day. You are a police officer. Can you please pay attention to her?"
The woman next to her also cried and said that she and her husband had a quarrel yesterday about the issue of sheep breeding. Her husband had not come back since he left home, so she had to come to the church to seek comfort.
Weir thought for a while and expressed his inference, "Maybe you went drinking with friends somewhere? You're just out of anger and won't come back now. You'll be back in a few days. Madam, do you have all your belongings at home?"
"He went out directly after the quarrel yesterday."
"Madam, don't worry too much. If there is no news in two days, you can tell me again! I will patrol this area every day recently."
After seeing the lady off, Vere and Legira had a recent daily Q&A, then said goodbye and left for the next place.
On the road out of the village, Weir came to the last church in the village. The mechanical holy emblem on the church announced his identity. However, due to the impact of the previous war, there were obviously fewer people here.
As soon as Weir wanted to go in, a priest wearing the priestly clothes of the Church of Steam came out. When Weir saw him, he immediately said hello.
"Father Knut, your face is still as bad as ever! Have you gone to a doctor to check it out?"
"Vil, thank you for your attention. With the Lord's protection, I have no problem." Knut said while praying devoutly. Will was not very interested in this.
Because I have gone to school for a few years, I have seen a lot, and I don’t have much pursuit of faith. “I can be considered a half-believer of the goddess at most! The goddess is above me, please don’t mind my rudeness.” Weir also made a gesture towards the goddess in his heart.
The action of praying, and then continued to ask
"Where's Father Meade? I haven't seen him in the past few days. Normally Father Meade would be in the village helping people in need, but suddenly he disappeared for a few days. I'm not used to it."
Normally, because Father Meade is around, everyone turns to Father Meade to solve many problems. But these days, when he is gone, the police come looking for him one after another. Even if he loses the chicken, he has to help himself when selling fish.
Chalfee Village is a relatively large village recently, with a relatively large number of people. The nearby retail investors come here to conduct transactions. Usually, I don’t have to go around to investigate strangers. With the coordination of several churches, the management is reasonable. Now I can only go to the village every day and night.
Accompanying them back to the police station in town. Will sighed thinking of this!
Father Knut was obviously stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Mead has church missions to arrange these days, so he left here."
"Is that so? Did you see any strangers today?" Will was too embarrassed to ask further.
"You've been asking this these past few days. Did something happen to you?"
"The task assigned by superiors is to report any strangers you see. Since there are no strangers today, I will go back to the police station first. Goodbye, Father Knut." After finishing speaking, Weir walked to the roadside bar where the bicycles were stored.
I rode a bicycle back to the police station. Since bicycles have been vigorously promoted, the police station has also provided one to each police officer. It would be better if the road needs to be repaired.
The orange sunset hit Knut's body, and his elongated figure covered the road. He didn't go back until Weir had gone far.
At No. 36 Wood Street, Pulitzer Harbour, Hermione was sitting leisurely on the sofa talking secretly to Gloor. Wearing glasses, she and Gloor looked like sisters who went to school together.
With the sound of the door opening and closing, Royce and Diego came back. Royce motioned to Hermione to come to the study. After the three of them went in and sat down, Diego talked about the investigation of the past few days, and the investigation of the eastern region.
Nothing was found. Excluding the people who reported it, no major problems were found.
Royce's divination showed that those demons were still in the east, so he wanted Hermione to give him some advice. Based on Hermione's performance that night, Royce and Diego knew that it was definitely not as simple as it seemed, especially
It was Royce. The Abraham family's knowledge allowed him to know that the age of the witch could not be judged externally. Maybe the person in front of him was acquainted with his ancestor "Mr. Door".
Hermione thought for a while and combined the original memory to infer that this demon may be seeking promotion to Sequence 5. Since the demon was defeated early and retreated to the abyss, several demon families are very low-key. Nowadays, few people know about demon-related knowledge, but major churches
The main hall files must be there.
"I think that the demon was marking something before, and he was searching for it for a purpose. He should be preparing for a certain ritual. The demon is the Sequence 6 of the criminal path. The ritual to advance to Sequence 5 will kill many people. Generally, the time of the ritual is
required."
"I think this is the reason why these people are still in the eastern region. They may be unwilling to accept that they are almost finished, but their Sequence 8 is called cold-blooded, which was what I called it at that time. Logically speaking, it has been discovered.
, will they leave absolutely rationally?"
"After Captain Vos killed the serial killer, they just left without asking anything. I suggest you check where there are more people disappearing recently, and let the investigators pay attention to the report. Don't tell them the reason. They
My intuition is very sensitive and I will notice it.”
"Let's lock down the area based on the number of missing people and do some divination. I always feel that this matter is not simple. You'd better make more preparations."
Hermione added that if you need divination, you can come to her. Although she doesn't know how much of her ability she can still use now, there is nothing to lose if she tries.
"The number of missing people. In an area as big as Pulitzer, it is difficult to find a few people. For example, in a slum area a few kilometers away, people may go missing every day. Who cares about the number of people who enter the factory in the morning and leave at night." Royce
Shaked his head.
Diego replied, "It's okay to keep an eye on it. I'll check it out when the time comes. I'm suitable for this. Just let the natural spirit help me find out."
"I almost forgot that you are a psychic, so you have to work hard." Royce patted Diego on the shoulder.
Hermione reminded again that if you find any traces, you must not follow them blindly. You cannot underestimate the ability of the criminal's path, and you don't know how many people there are on the other side.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Grohl's voice came, "Dad, are you okay? Mom said it's time for dinner."
Royce stood up hurriedly and said, 'Let's go have dinner first, these things can't be rushed.'
Hermione also agreed that it was useless to be anxious. Hunting requires patience.
At the Punisher's Department, Ove listened to the report from his subordinates, "Captain, the church has sent a deacon to come, let us prepare first. The Nighthawks have already got a clue about the intelligence."
"You all get ready and continue to investigate and contact the Nighthawks."
There is a large area of old wooden houses or newly built simple shacks between the port area of Pulitzer Harbor and the city. The poor, the bottom of the factory, people escaping from the war, and homeless people all gather here. In one of the inconspicuous wooden houses, there is a
The black shadow was lying on a person's belly, eating something. The person being eaten had already lost his breath, and the bed beneath him was dyed red with blood.
During their rare free time, Hermione and the Royce family went shopping in Pulitzer's specialty product street. They didn't want to go out at first, but they suddenly went out. Could it be that this was a call from fate.
The small streets near the port area are filled with special items shipped from various parts of the northern and southern continents, and horse-drawn carriages are constantly coming and going. Compared with other old streets, the sewers here are obviously built according to the city plan left by Emperor Russell.
The extension and masonry paving make it very neat.
Hermione saw the Royce family enjoying themselves happily. Although she was among them, she always thought of her family members and felt a little sad in her heart. She suddenly disappeared and what would happen if her parents found out later? She didn't dare to go down.
Think about it. And your current father and sister, are you still there?
At this time, a carriage carrying goods packaged in sacks passed by on the road. The driver of the carriage was a typical Southern Continent man with a tan skin, and two people of similar appearance were sitting behind it.
Hermione noticed that they glanced at a few of the people here. It was normal for people to look left and right while walking on the road. Hermione felt that they had an uncoordinated aura. When she was about to take a closer look, the carriage had already gone away.'
The abominable original witch, the perverted Chick Hermione, greets her in her native dialect every day.
I feel like something big is going to happen to Pulitzer. Could it be that the witch gentlemen have come to find me? Should I go to the Church of the Night to escape? After all, I have no power now. A few demigods can do it.
It’s too much to bear! Others have a lot of problems when they come to another world. Not only is mine blocked, but it’s also a time bomb that I don’t know when it will explode.
In this way, it is better for me to be an ordinary person, Hermione felt miserable in her heart.
"Hermione, what are you thinking about?" Royce noticed that Hermione looked a little absent-minded.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little weird. I can't say anything." Hermione quickly changed the topic.
"A lot of things have happened in Pulitzer recently. Don't put too much pressure on us. We can just do our best."
"I'm going to stay with the Nighthawks for a few days. I always wonder what will happen at home."
"Seek the help of the goddess is undoubtedly a way, you can also pray to my Lord the Fool, my Lord.... (Bayam Silver Believers missionary picture)
"I think I will, thank you, Royce."
"Hermione, do you think my feather mask looks good?"
Gloor was holding a mask with cyan feathers and oil paintings on it. Gloor put it on his face, picked up the wooden scepter from the stall next to him, and raised it to everyone.
"My fellow tribesmen, why don't you come to meet your new chief?" Hermione and others bowed in unison. After receiving everyone's approval, Grol put aside his mask and pulled Hermione to look at other types of features.
thing.
In a certain warehouse land in Pulitzer Harbour, a few Southerners just took out a mirror, drew a symbol, and muttered words. After a while, a young and beautiful woman appeared in the mirror, with naturally disheveled blond hair and clear green hair.
His eyes showed his holiness. If Hermione still remembered what happened in those days, she would find that this man was one of the people who dug his own grave.
The southern mainlander in front of the mirror was not affected like the two companions behind him, and said, "Saint Tatiana, according to the description you gave, we saw that person, and the spell also reacted when he passed by."
"Very good, I didn't expect that the people from your Rose School are pretty good. Where is she?"
"She may have noticed us. Our sequences are not high and we have not tracked the specific location. And according to the deal, we only need to help you determine where the person is. She is in Pulitzer Port now. I believe that with your ability
It’s not difficult to find her. Don’t call us brothers for this kind of life-threatening behavior. We still have God’s mission to complete.”
"Don't be anxious? You are going to die anyway, just help us deal with it." Tatiana's sweet voice came with a kind of charm.
The people of the Southern Continent were not affected and replied, "We are just returning to the embrace of God. This group of blasphemers killed so many of our brothers and sisters in my hometown and blasphemed the faith of God. This is the wrath of God. I hope that the Holy Lady will
Send the items as soon as possible."
After the Southern Continental man finished talking to the woman in the mirror, he and two other companions entered a small house. There was an unburned brown candle on the table inside, surrounded by a circle of strange runes, and a faint light group and silk thread in the middle.
Wrapped in a bandage stained with pus, the Southern Continental and his companions knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly, waiting for that moment to arrive.
Hermione and the Royce family finished their wandering, and on their way back, they met Waken and Kelly, who were hurriedly walking towards a corner.
"Hey Kelly, Weeknd, what happened?" Royce asked them
"A murder occurred in a building next to the slum. According to the police's on-site investigation, the deceased's body was destroyed and his abdomen was suspected to be hollowed out. The captain suspected that the previous group had accomplices lurking here, so he sent us to investigate, and the captain
Let you and Miss Hermione go there, we have plans tonight." After the two of them said that, they walked towards the crime scene.
After Hermione and Royce sent Woppel and Gloor home, they went to the Ship Information Consulting Company, walked through the back door compartment, and came to the underground conference room. Hermione saw Diego, Delphine, and Nissen
They were all here, sitting around the long table. After greeting everyone, Hermione and Royce also found a seat to sit down.
After a while, the small door at the back of the conference room opened, and Captain Voss and the man who looked like he was about to enter a mid-life crisis came up, with deep eyes, curly hair, and sharp features.
Hermione thought that the intelligence chief in the TV series was the most suitable for this type, doing shady things.
After everyone sat down, the man said, "Hello everyone, this is the first time we meet. I am the person in charge sent by the church to handle this matter. My name is Sims. According to the intelligence, there are not only people from the Demon family in Pulitzer Port this time, but also people from the Demon family.
Traces of the indulgent faction of the Rose School of Thought have been discovered. This time we will join forces with the Church of Storms to clean up the cultists in the city. Voss, remember to apply for the use of 2-70 Sealed Artifacts, and we will discuss the arrangements."
After Sims and Voss arranged their tasks for tonight, they turned their attention to Hermione aside.
"Miss Hermione, please protect the person who uses the sealed item. The negative effect of 2-70 will add random rules to the user."
"I'll help you tonight."
Sims and Voss said respectively,
Hermione nodded and obeyed the arrangement of the two. The price of the gift of fate had already been marked. With official protection, she had to work as a thug for the official. It would be better if she had money. Hermione was too embarrassed to mention this.
The punishers on the other side are also having a meeting,
Ove and Fernando, the deacon sent to assist, made arrangements for tonight.
"Ove, you and I will take turns using 2-44, and the rest will be as arranged."
"Fernando, don't be brave," Ove said with a smile.
...
In the warehouse area, in the dim room, the Southern Continental man had a piece of brilliant crystal in his hand, with a ball of strange liquid sealed inside. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's tonight, let these blasphemers leave peacefully in their sleep."
The companion outside came in and said, "Everything has been put away."
"I know, you should also be prepared. Remember to be wary of those witches, they don't know how to trust."
