In the dark and quiet hall, Leonard and his teammates finished praying. They got up and walked towards the side passage through the back of the church. Along the way, they saw a priest standing outside the secret door leading to the underground area. He raised his
His right hand skillfully tapped his chest four times clockwise and said:
"Praise the goddess."
The leader of the "Red Gloves" Captain Sost also outlined the crimson moon on his chest and responded:
"Praise the goddess."
"Your Excellency Saint Anthony is already waiting for you in the conference room." The bishop moved out of the way.
Sost and the team members behind him were a little confused. The "Red Gloves" are a special operations team composed of elite "Nighthawks" and are not subject to jurisdictional restrictions. Although Anthony Stevenson is the Archbishop of Backlund Diocese, he is generally not restricted by jurisdiction.
Will ask about their actions.
"I see."
Sost did not dare to neglect, and led his team hurriedly forward through the secret door, turned left at the intersection to the underground area of the church, came to the conference room, and saw Anthony sitting at the head of the conference table.
Stevenson.
"Your Majesty St. Anthony."
After greeting them one by one, Anthony, who was wearing a black and red clergy robe and five dark holy symbols on his chest, nodded and showed a warm smile:
"Thank you for your hard work, please take a seat first."
"yes."
Leonard followed his teammates and found a seat to sit down.
"The reason I'm here is related to your operation to capture the human-skinned demon. I need you to sort out the information about the 'demon' involved in this operation in detail, including abilities, families, rituals, etc. Everyone needs to submit a report.
"
Anthony's smile and tone did not change, but they made Sost, Leonard and others feel a sense of fear of the unknown.
"This is very important. Gilcias the Slaughterer, the second mate of the Immortal King, was killed by an adventurer Gehrman Sparrow. Agaritu also showed behavior that was inconsistent with the past normal. In order to prevent
He suddenly went crazy, so we need to make some preparations with the Church of Storms in advance."
"clear."
In order to capture human-skin demons before, Sost learned a lot about this approach. "Demons" in Sequence 6 will have their own special abilities due to differences in race, belief, bloodline, and knowledge, and even Sequence 6 "demons" will have their own special abilities.
7's "serial killer" can also rely on knowledge and special rituals to summon demonic projections, which is a very tricky existence.
If their team hadn't just experienced too many difficulties and needed a rest urgently, he doubted that he would have been directly called over to use their experience to better target the "Immortal King".
"Okay, you guys go down and rest. Dealing with the 'devil' is not an easy task."
The "Red Gloves" stood up and said in unison again:
"Praise the goddess."
After that, they each left and returned to their residence in Backlund.
But Leonard did not return to No. 7 Pinster Street. Instead, he asked a priest and went to the duty room in the underground area. Deacon Daly Simone, who was on duty, stood outside the duty room, wearing blue eyeshadow.
Her eyes were confused, but when she saw Leonard arriving, she blinked and regained her composure.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"What you said sounds so corny." Dai Li curled her lips, and her cold temperament also dissipated a little, "It took me so long to come back, the task is difficult? Then you should have accumulated enough to be promoted to 'Requiem Master'
Merit?"
Leonard's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to fight back. He was no match for Ms. Dai Li in this regard, so he could only nodded.
"Haha, tell me, little guy, what do you want from me? Want to ask about the performance of 'Soul Master'?"
"That may take a few more days..."
Leonard looked at Ms. Dai Li, who looked unhappy, and told the contents of the meeting just held by His Excellency St. Anthony.
Dai Li, who didn't know what Leonard meant by these words, raised her chin with a "That's it" expression.
"Remember Duke Negan's death?"
"A demon from the Belial family?"
"Well, there is also his secret Siakam."
Both Leonard and Daley had followed this case before, but no specific results of the investigation were found. They only knew that this very suspicious secretary and a "janitor" had a fight in the south area of the bridge, and then went their separate ways.
get away.
"Do you always talk to ladies like this? Only little girls who haven't grown up like your way of talking." Dai Li looked at Leonard who looked hesitant and said half-self-deprecatingly half-urging.
Leonard still hesitated, but finally said:
"... Mr. Selt of MI9 once mentioned that the 'gatekeeper' may be related to Azik Eggers. This person I mentioned to you before, he once appeared in the Blackthorn Security Company...
"
He didn't specify the time, but he knew Ms. Dailey understood what he meant.
"so what?"
Dai Li seemed to be surrounded by countless shadows, layer after layer, deep and cold.
Leonard didn't care about the changes in Dai Li. He glanced at the closed duty room and said softly:
"Azik Eggers is not an ordinary person, he is a high-sequence strongman of the 'God of Death' pathway, and not long after that, the captain's... captain's body also disappeared."
He didn't say "corpse", but replaced it with a body. In the Raphael Cemetery in Tingen, there was only a suit of clothes under Dunn Smith's tombstone. And Azik Eggers was a member of the Fourth Age Balam Empire.
"Death Archon", a Sequence 2 angel, such an existence has no special considerations, and will definitely not take away a captain who is only at Sequence 7 level.
Translucent shadows emerged from under Dai Li's black robe. A layer of thick shadow spread out from her body with a cold air. The expression on her face with blue blush changed.
"Ms. Daly!"
Leonard whispered to wake up Daly Simone, and the door to the duty room not far behind him was also opened. Several "night watchers" on duty looked here nervously. The scene just now seemed too much like a precursor to losing control.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You go home first, I will be there right away." Dai Li gathered up her black robe, turned around and walked into the duty room.
After letting out a slight breath, Leonard turned and left the underground area, returned to his residence at No. 7 Pinster Street in Backlund, and waited for Ms. Daly with some anxiety. He didn't know whether what he was doing was the right thing to do.
, but at least it can give the other party a little hope.
He sat on the sofa, completely gone as before.
"Old man, did you really not see clearly at that time?"
"Haha, I just parasitized you for the first time. I can only see the things you see and hear the sounds you hear. If you don't see it, how can I see it?" The old voice sounded in Leonard's ears.
The edge rang.
"Humph, what about just now? I didn't notice that anyone in the church had an ancient aura."
Leonard clearly remembered what happened just now, and the voice fell silent after he asked.
"You just want to ask me, does your captain Dunn Smith still have hope of living? Haha, I can tell you that if Azik Eggers is in a normal state, he can indeed be in a state of extraordinary characteristics.
I want to save him, but a few months ago, her condition was not much better than mine. Even if there are special methods, your captain's condition will not be very good, and it is very likely that he has been converted into an undead creature."
"Then does he still have self-awareness?"
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Leonard stopped asking the previous question. As a "Red Glove", he also had a certain understanding of undead creatures, most of which were puppets without self-awareness.
"I'm not sure. It depends on what method Azik used and how much she has recovered in the past period."
At this time, the doorbell rang, and Leonard's face immediately fell. He regretted it now.
…
Pasu Island, this is the headquarters of the Church of Storms, the place where the true God comes to visit.
As a middle-level member of the church, Alger Wilson was debriefing at the Thunder Church on this island. Under the guidance of a servant, he entered a room with a long table and accepted the questioning of three "Punisher" deacons.
Among the three deacons, only one had dark blue hair. Alger sat at the foot of the long table and answered the deacons' questions in an orderly manner, telling what he had done at sea during this period and what he planned to do.
, which ones succeeded and which ones failed were told one by one.
This will be compared with the stories of other crew members to prevent anyone from lying.
At the end of the report, the dark blue-haired deacon glanced at Alger and asked in a thick voice:
"You should already know the news that the Demon Hunter Admiral has arrived in the Sea of White Whale?"
"yes."
Alger nodded. This was the news he got after communicating with other "captains".
"In the past period of time, 'Star Admiral' Cattleya and 'Immortal King' Agaritu were both active in that sea area, especially the latter, after 'Slaughterer' Gilsias was killed by Gehrman
·Sparrow became very abnormal after killing him, which requires you to investigate."
This is not the reason why Gehrman hunted the "Slaughterer"... After Alger thought carefully, he realized the meaning of the "hermit"'s previous words. Agaritu's abnormality was because of the "King of the Five Seas" Nas
The impact of being promoted to an angel may only be known to people in their Tarot Club, the "Mysterious Queen", and the "Black Emperor".
"yes."
After simply dealing with the follow-up problems, Alger left Thunder Church, left Pasu Island, and drove the "Blue Avenger" toward the Sea of White Whale.
…
Moving along the road made of vines that interspersed or circled and stretched to high altitudes, each step Rawls took was equivalent to dozens of steps for a normal person. After more than ten seconds, he saw those green
The plants are connected to form a hammock-like seat, gently swaying at a high place.
The "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette was sitting there, wearing a white Intis shirt and a dark black jacket, with a thin rapier on her waist. Except for not wearing a three-cornered hat, she was dressed in a standard maritime captain's attire.
"This is Backlund, not the sea."
As a "lawyer", Rawls almost instinctively wants to gain the upper hand verbally.
"Then do you need me to salute you? Dear Viscount Derrian." Bernadette revealed Rawls's identity in a calm tone.
"That's not necessary. The daughter of Emperor Russell and the eldest princess of the Intis Empire is much more noble than a little viscount."
Rawls was not surprised that his identity was known to Bernadette. He only put on a simple disguise when meeting him twice. With a little investigation, he could know his identity. After all, in the past year, Rawls A.
Derian's reputation is quite famous in Backlund.
If the other party found out the identity of Rawls Gonzalez, he might be surprised.
But this doesn't mean that he doesn't care, so he calls the other person by the identity that Bernadette hates the most.
"Just being a viscount is not enough to revive the Tamara family, right?" Bernadette's expression did not change. She was no longer the innocent little girl.
"So, we appreciate your help."
Rawls bowed and saluted.
This time Bernadette proposed to meet, he naturally understood the other party's purpose. All the other party's properties in Loen had been transferred to the Tamara family, and now they came to ask for payment.
"Why did you choose Nast?"
"No, no, no, it's not that we chose him, it's that he was too obvious in the extraordinary world." Rawls spread his hands and showed a helpless smile, "You know, when we are at this point, the power of choice is often not with us.
.Furthermore, we did not expect that Nast would be promoted to an angel so quickly."
Nast had a sealed object or characteristic corresponding to the "Duke of Entropy" that he did not expect, yet Bernadette was so decisive in helping him complete the promotion ceremony.
"But don't worry, she won't be able to complete the ritual of 'Prince Killing' unless he personally destroys her pirate empire."
Rawls actually feels a little sorry for Nast. He is in his current position entirely because he established a pirate empire. But if he wants to continue to advance, he must destroy it. Compared to her, he was once the "Duke of Entropy"
Trunsoest and Alistair Tudor were much better. Solomon's destruction directly helped them complete the ritual.
Even if Nast is an angel now, it is impossible to destroy the order of a country.
"Aren't you going to help her?"
In Bernadette's view, since the Tamara family has targeted Loen, Nast can take this opportunity to complete the ritual.
Rawls forced out an exaggerated smile and said in surprise:
"You don't think we want to destroy Loen, do you? The three major churches and the true gods behind them will not allow us to do this."
It is much more difficult to destroy a country than to steal it. In fact, the collapse of the Solomon Empire, the United Empire, and the Trunsoest Empire all resulted from internal turmoil, and were essentially thefts. Only the Second Empire of Solomon and Tudor
The empire is truly destroyed.
The destruction of every country represents the fall of the true God.
