On King's Avenue, a luxury carriage left Queens and drove along King's Avenue towards Hillston. On the side of the carriage, there was a silver-white ancient sailboat engraved on the dark blue like an ancient sailboat fighting the wind and waves. This is the Negan family.
emblem.
The carriage was covered with a scarlet carpet and was furnished with beds, sofas, tables and other furniture, just like a mobile room. Philip Negan, who had changed into a police uniform, was sitting on the sofa, with a crown badge on his shoulder straps.
A garland badge with two swords crossed represents his status as assistant director.
There was a glass of Ormere wine as scarlet as blood on the table, as well as several cases spread out that needed to be dealt with. Philip held a golden round-belly pen in his hand, and the tip of the pen made circles on the paper from time to time. The secretary beside him was silent.
Quietly sorting out the materials that have been reviewed.
Philip is not only similar in appearance to his father, Duke Palestine Negan, but also has the same personality. He loves luxury, women, and fine wine. He likes to use his extraordinary majesty to oppress his opponents. He is strong and decisive, leaving no room for his opponents.
The only difference between the two is that Philip is still young and energetic, and handles all matters personally, while his secretary can only do some marginal work. Especially after entering the Hillston Police Station, Philip has become a police officer with his strong style.
Police Chief Humphrey, who took over all affairs of the police department and will only be promoted to chief police secretary in September, has been on "sick leave" for a week.
The carriage drove steadily under the superb skill of the driver. Philip finished handling the last case, closed the files, put the pen aside, picked up the crystal glass and took a sip of wine.
"You did a good job this time. You will pay more attention to Hibbert in the future."
The young secretary nodded respectfully. For his boss, a simple compliment was already very rare.
Philip leaned back, leaning on the back of the sofa, his eyes closed, and the fine wrinkles on his forehead were looming. In the afternoon, he received news from his secretary that Hibbert, the eldest son of Earl Hall, was secretly investigating Rolls Adrian.
's whereabouts.
This is something that the powerful Philip Negan cannot accept. Although Rawls was sent by his father to help him reconstruct the Hillston Police Department, for him, he belongs to the group of people he hates. Contact
After two visits, he had to admit that Rawls was not the same as those usual guys.
In addition, Philip successfully used Rawls' method to gradually take control of the Hillston Police Department. Even the experienced Chief Humphrey temporarily chose to take "sick leave" instead of confronting him head-on, waiting for the transfer order in September.
This made it difficult for Philip not to be fond of Rawls and regard him as one of his own, so after receiving the news, he immediately stopped what he was doing and collected Hibbert's recent itinerary, preparing to embarrass him at the banquet.
Hibbert, like those declining aristocrats who are in a worrying situation, has recently been "attending" banquets and publicizing the disadvantages of air pollution. With his handsome appearance and experienced tongue, a large number of aristocratic ladies and ladies have participated in his campaign.
advertising.
You must know that these aristocratic ladies and ladies often have close relationships with many writers, critics, and editors of major newspapers. With their influence, Hibbert has become the darling of Backlund's public opinion circles, and his views have also aroused a stir.
Another heated debate.
And Philip could only barely get some publicity through the "Backlund Daily", and more publicity focused on Hillston's reform. In addition to Hibbert's "crossing the line" this time, Philip definitely didn't mind.
Give Hibbert a wonderful memory.
After knowing that Hibbert would attend the banquet, Philip immediately asked his secretary to find the corresponding invitation card, notified the organizer of the banquet, and then hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed there. Unexpectedly, Hibbert also made corresponding preparations.
Overwhelmed by his "aura".
But Philip, who was well aware of Hibbert's weaknesses, naturally would not miss this opportunity. He madly used Alfred to threaten his position as heir to stimulate Hibbert, giving him a rare opportunity to relax after his heavy work.
.
"Should we also investigate the whereabouts of Lawyer Rawls?" The young secretary took the opportunity to put forward his opinion. He knew that Rawls had previously said that he was going to Eastchester to recruit lawyers, and the eldest son of the Earl of Eastchester was
Rawls can't be found. Doesn't this require some investigation?
As for the secret investigation, Mr. Secretary would not dare, and he would not even mention the matter tactfully. This would only arouse Philip's resentment.
Phillip did not open his eyes and said after a while:
"No, just inform his housekeeper about this."
"Yes." Is this a reminder or a warning?
…
At 2:55 pm the next day, in a rental house on Yinjing Street in the dock area, Rawls turned over on the bed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep again.
From last night to this morning, Rawls had been reading the book "Spells", delved deeply into the knowledge inside, and wrote many notes, and then successfully climbed into bed at eight o'clock in the morning and started to rest.
Alicia Tamara disappeared in the middle of the night, but in order to have a sufficient excuse, Rawls persisted. After Alicia disappeared, she never appeared until he fell asleep.
, which made him feel much more relaxed.
Under the closed eyelids, a deep red color appeared. When he opened his eyes again, Rawls had arrived at the magnificent palace above the gray fog that did not look like a normal residence. Opposite the long bronze table, Miss "Justice" stood up and looked like
Say greetings as usual.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool, Mr. Emperor, Mr. Hanged Man."
After Rawls and Alger responded, Mr. Fool Klein also nodded slightly.
"Mr. Fool, I did not collect Russell's diary this time." Audrey apologized a little. The circle she was in was not large, and there were not many people who were interested in occultism. People who were interested in Russell's diary
less.
"It doesn't matter, this is a long-term task."
Klein was not too disappointed. Miss Justice was just an ordinary person before joining the Tarot Society. Unless she joined other organizations or the circle of extraordinary people, Russell's diary would not always be there.
He looked at the "Emperor" and "The Hanged Man". These two were the main forces in collecting diaries. One had a mysterious background, and the other was a sophisticated person.
Alger answered first:
"Mr. Fool, I have returned to the shore and collected two of Russell's diaries." These two diaries were obtained by him from "Artisan" Sharf.
Well, it seems that Mr. "The Hanged Man" chose to go to sea in order to play the role of "Navigator". He must have made little progress recently, so he returned to land.
Rawls didn't care about Alger's preemption, and just said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Fool, I only have one diary in hand, but there are more than a dozen on the way." He did not intend to submit the diaries involving the relationship between Russell, Hermes and the Psychological Alchemy Society for the time being.
, as for the dozen or so pictures on the road, he can get a hundred of them if he wants.
Audrey and Alger's eyes immediately focused on the "Emperor". Collecting Russell's diary was not an easy task. Russell's diary was still in high demand in their circle.
A dozen? Klein forced himself to calm down. He had never seen so many Russell diaries. Last time I divined Mr. "Emperor's" fate for the next week, was the price of ten diaries a little too few?
No, this is enough! As a keyboard economist, Klein knows that once the diary is devalued, the members of the Tarot Society will not waste their efforts to collect the diary, and he will not be able to use the knowledge in the diary to pretend to be a "fool"
.
But the "Emperor" is really generous! He got more than a dozen diaries as soon as he said he could get them. Did he buy them? Or did he use his power to collect them?
Klein nodded and said:
"Very good." After saying that, he placed the parchment and pen in front of the "Emperor" and "The Hanged Man".
Rawls and "The Hanged Man" Alger picked up their pens and quickly wrote out the diary according to their usual experience. The diary submitted by Rawls this time was about the church's differences in the formulas of low- and medium-sequence potions and high-sequence potions.
Attitude, and the problem of Russell's Industrial Revolution becoming a breeding ground for evil spirits.
Although Alger presented two diaries, each one was shorter and ended before Rawls.
Klein placed the two diaries in the hands of "The Hanged Man" into his own hands. As soon as he took a glance, he noticed some problems.
He remembered that a long time ago, when "The Hanged Man" and "The Emperor" were dealing with an extraordinary weapon, the diary presented by "The Hanged Man" was about Russell's eldest son, Charles. What is presented now is still relevant.
Things about Charles.
From the past diaries, Klein can feel that Russell is definitely a daughter slave, but he does not treat his two sons well. It can even be seen from the diary presented by "The Hanged Man" that he treats his eldest son Xia.
I am very dissatisfied.
"January 16th, today is Charles's twenty-fifth birthday. He brought a young and beautiful girl to the birthday party I held for him, although he tried his best to pretend to be indifferent in front of me.
Looks like that, but I know he likes that girl.
I have been very dissatisfied with him for the past twenty-five years, thinking that he is too cowardly and not like my son. When he came of age, I told Matilda that I did not require him to be a son.
A genius, but at least he should be the same as an ordinary person. But even if he becomes an extraordinary person, he is still so miserable.
And today, he dared to bring a girl to me, which was really a big surprise. Although I could tell at a glance that the girl was from the Church of the God of Craftsmen, who made Charles like her?
?
On earth, I am almost sixty years old, which is old enough to be a grandfather. But today, no, even in the future, only Charles may be able to pass on the bloodline of the Gustav family.
Bonois became the favored one of the "God of Craftsmen" and was influenced too much by him. His divinity was greater than his humanity, and he was unlikely to inherit the family.
As for Bernadette, although she is already a thirty-year-old girl, as long as I live, she will never get married!"
"We have reached the final step. The only relatives I have left alive are my children. Matilda is not an extraordinary person. Even if I use medicine, I cannot save her life.
Bernadette has become a demigod. With what I gave her, she no longer has to suffer from the knowledge of the Hidden Sage. Even if the plan fails, she can live well. I hope she can forgive me in the future.
Bonova is the favored one of the God of Steam. I am not worried about his safety. I only have my eldest son Charles, who is just a 'generalist'. What should he do in the future? He can't use those magical items at all. I can only
I hope that for the sake of Bonova and Charles’s wife, the Church of the God of Steam can bless him and his descendants!”
The relationship between the Emperor and the Church of the God of Steam seemed to have deteriorated in the later period? Klein remembered clearly that after Roselle overthrew the rule of the Sauron family in the Kingdom of Intis, he was recognized by the God of Steam. In the later period, the God of Steam and Machinery
He even directly issued an oracle and changed his god's name.
According to the diary of Emperor Russell, the Church of the God of Steam used certain methods on his family. First, he made Bonova a favored one, and then let Charles marry a girl sent by the church. Therefore, the Emperor's final
Is the fall related to the Church of the God of Steam?
Moreover, the emperor said that he had reached the last step and asked Bernadette to forgive him. In order to change the situation, the emperor did something that Bernadette didn't want to see? What kind of thing could make Russell go against his daughter's wishes?
Do you want to do it too?
Without thinking any further, Klein materialized the diary expressed by the "Emperor" into his hands and quickly scanned it. He did not stop to think until the last sentence.
"What happened in the past two days on August 9th makes me feel not very good. The industrial revolution that I started with my own hands and the age of steam and machinery that I created with my own hands will become the breeding ground for the birth of evil gods."
The breeding ground for the birth of evil gods? Klein frowned slightly and gently tapped the edge of the ancient long table with his index finger.
Is Mr. Fool encountering a problem? Something that can embarrass him must involve a very high level. Audrey looked at the leader shrouded in thick gray fog and read some of his current emotions from his body language.
state.
Rawls looked at Klein's state and didn't quite know why he acted like this. Because of his joining, he didn't know exactly how far Tingen's plot had developed.
There was simply some spare time, and with the nature of 0-08 there, it would not be easy for Ince Zangwill, who was not yet a demigod, to complete his plan.
But I have to think about it. After the Tingen incident, what should I do after Ince Zangwill Backlund? 0-08 As a sealed object formed by the "writer" characteristic of Sequence 1, when you know him,
He will also know you, especially if you are in the same city.
Klein can't avoid interference with the Source Castle, and I'm afraid he can't avoid it either.
