Chapter 10

"Don't try to kill yourself in the presence of the devil," I said in the gentlest tone, "unless you wish to give your soul to him."

Ince Zangwill held his right hand with three fingers broken by my stepping on it, and tremblingly clutched the gauze that was bleeding profusely.That's the bare minimum punishment for offending the Angels, for not going out to greet me when confronted, but trying to 0-08 me away - a ludicrous act.

So he still didn't dare to approach or sit down, and stood in front of the chair I was sitting on, staring at me with the most fearful and vigilant eyes, and the notebook that originally belonged to him in my hand.I handed him the new hat I bought for 2 pounds, and motioned him to help me hang it on the coat hanger by the door.After hesitating for a few seconds, he stretched out his left hand with all five fingers, took it not very dexterously, and hung it up by himself.This is very good, it proves that he has learned his lesson and understands that even demons don't want to hang bloodstains at any time.

Today is cloudy.I flipped through this diary in a good mood, and found that many interesting things had happened in the small city of Tingen before I arrived.For example, the puppet of the "Duke Antigonus" pointed out a descendant of its owner to the Nighthawks. This poor little toy was originally the most popular puppet in the family, and now it is the The sharp sword that could fall from the head of the descendants of the Cornus family at any time.

For example, a Nighthawk named Leonard who "has a special secret in his body", and Klein, who was bizarrely not dead, was also a Nighthawk.And the nightmare that came into my dreams last night and ate the afternoon tea I had prepared for Miss Wall and her friend, Dunne Smith.

The Nighthawks under the Goddess of the Night are really talented.

I probably flipped through this notebook. It has been used for a long time, and it is crumpled and tattered. Most of the previous content was describing how I hid and how I used coincidences to distract the pursuing Nighthawks.In the years of his defection, he traveled around, and finally came to this small city, plotting the sacred relic corresponding to Sequence 4 in the adjacent path, trying to promote across the path, so he made a lot of layouts secretly.But judging from the records, there are very few successful ones, and that Klein always caused unexpected situations, preventing his goals from being fully achieved.

"Help from the kind Ince Zangwill?"

I read this sentence, and he looked even more frightened, as if he was about to escape from the window in the next second.But even the gates of the underworld couldn't let him escape. What's the use of a window to the garden?But not only did I not intend to be harsh, but I wanted to praise him: "I just said why Mr. Z's report actually said "the seed was successfully planted, and the mother's condition is stable." Impossible to succeed.It turned out that you moved your hands and didn't let the mother's body die at that time. You did a good job. "

It's funny, I thought. ——If I remember correctly, the sealed item "0-08" of the Church of Evernight is named Al Suhod's Pen, which corresponds to Sequence 0 "Writer" of the "Audience" pathway, which caused the death of an angel. Level [-], the highest degree of confidentiality, cannot be spread outside, even when it is informed to relevant personnel, it will only describe the simplest appearance.

It is unimaginable that such a sealed item can be mastered by a bishop who only has Sequence 5. What is even more unimaginable is that he has not been written to death for three years, and even successfully avoided a series of hunts. Get mixed up under the eyes of the Goddess of the Night.

Logically speaking, 0-08 should not be interested in writers of this level, so the reason why he can survive until now is very intriguing.

I didn't think about it, after all, if there must be a higher-level storyteller, someone more behind-the-scenes than Ince Zangwill behind the scenes, who is at the top of the "audience" path. Sun, who is playing his own son, is the biggest suspect.

"You're doing well, Ince Zangwill, you're funny."

I closed the notebook and met his surprised and suspicious eyes.I'm telling the truth, because the devil loves such vile masterminds.He obviously looks like he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, but he doesn't even want to stain his hands with blood, preferring to play with other people's lives through dark influence; he obviously holds the highest-level sealed item, but he always cowers like a mouse that can't see the light. Hide in dark corners.He was bound to be a victim, and I'd love to watch him continue dying to pass the time.

"That's why I won't help you, take care of you, or protect you. You have to be strong enough to survive, and let me appreciate your despicable side—for this, I can give you some blessings."

The anger that was not well hidden froze on his face, Ince Zangwill's only remaining dark blue and almost black eyes showed some suspicion and vigilance, and then he realized that he had no right to refuse.

After my visit to Ince Zangwill, I headed down to Lower Street to see if the city's "pain" qualifies.

It has been 200 years since my subordinate, "The Angel of Temperance" Richard Ernst established the "Ernst Charitable Foundation".He is a good human being, a capable human being, and a human being with too much conscience.This is the first time I have seen a person who regards philanthropy as a lifelong pursuit, let alone an angel.Therefore, his anchor is all the old, weak, sick and disabled who are funded by the foundation. Kindness is his nature and his humanity. Once he tries to abandon all these, he will immediately lose control.

Charity is a bottomless pit. Foundations will never make ends meet, but they are always building new almshouses and welfare homes.As the leader and theoretically enshrined, Richard Ernst even needs to use his secular status to solicit sponsorship everywhere, but nobles don't care about charity.

When he came back from Feysac, he sacrificed relevant reports to me. Even the nobles who had a little background and knew about his identity only gave less than 10 pounds to this cause without any return.

Separated from the comfortable small villas of the factory owners are small houses crowded with dozens of people. The workers only need a few soli a week for dirty floors and cheap spoiled food.Therefore, Richard insisted on adding new machines with lower harm to the human body to the factories in my industry, and gave the workers 10% higher wages and quite amazing industrial injury medical allocations, so my factory quickly failed to compete. The peers went bankrupt one after another, and the meager profits made the factory's accountants unable to find a way to make money.

This behavior also caused heavy losses to my "family" far away in Intis, and lost nearly half of its influence at one time. After selling the factory to a competitor at a low price, he also got a scornful name in the circle of factory owners as a person who was foolish and took advantage of the money.

After this farce, the real managers of the industry withdrew the commercial powers entrusted to Richard.And take back all the factories, share investments and plantations. Only by squeezing cheap labor and even slaves like others can Richard be provided with the original capital of the charity industry.

—how ironic, how pathetic.What the hell are you trying to do, Richard Ernst, a philanthropist with no reputation and no one cares about?

Baron Gramere coughed softly, leaving some bright red marks on his palms, which were immediately absorbed by the human leather gloves.

His chest was beaten into a comminuted fracture two days ago. With the strong enough body of Sailor Pathway Sequence 6, he did not die on the spot. He was able to save his strength to escape, and found an opportunity to use his contacts for treatment.But he wouldn't think it was his luck, it was just because the powerful Extraordinary who happened to pass by didn't want to kill him.

Qilingus was very annoyed. He panicked when he faced the high-sequence for the first time after encountering a life crisis that day. He almost lost control. When he came back to his senses, he had killed Baron Gramere, who he had spied and imitated for a long time.Without the homeless man, he had to take a servant to fill his "squirming hunger" first, so that his weak self would not overturn on the magical item.Then he took on the form of the baron, and was bedridden for two days to recuperate and recovered without a hitch.

Some good errands that are dangerous but not fatal suddenly become a heavy burden on the shoulders. I hope that I can recover and complete the task soon. If I fail... Qilingus dare not think about it.

It is obviously impossible to assassinate Duke Negan with this body, but it is even more suspicious to accept the invitation for the dinner but not to come.Therefore, he decided to attend the ball, observe the security around Duke Negan, and leave early. Afterwards, he bought a ticket to leave Backlund temporarily, and returned silently when he regained the ability to perform tasks.

It's all because of that high-sequence expert...Damn it, if it weren't for those two women investigating me, I wouldn't have gotten to this point!

As a pirate general, Qilingus, who admired strength and strength, of course did not dare to curse the strong. He could only curse Forsi and Xio, who were almost killed, repeatedly in his heart to let out a bad breath.Thinking of the possible punishment for not completing the task, and thinking that he would never have the chance to take revenge on those two women, his face and facial features involuntarily became a little hideous.

But in the next second, he immediately adjusted his expression to normal.

"Hello, Baron Gramir." Audrey greeted with a flawless smile and etiquette.

On the opposite side, Chillingus, who was disguised as Baron Gramere with sparse eyebrows and light blue eyes, also smiled and saluted: "Hello, Miss Hall, you are the brightest and most dazzling jewel in this ball."

After a few aristocratic greetings, the two staggered apart.

After walking a few steps, Audrey frowned suddenly, her green eyes were full of doubts: "Baron Gramere is not the same as usual..."

"In the past, when he saw a lady and wife who were higher than him and more beautiful, his eyes would move to the side, he didn't dare to look directly, and then he kept sneaking glances... But today, he looks very confident..."

"No, in fact, the most abnormal thing is the smell of his perfume! When he attended various parties before, he exuded the tail note of the perfume 'Amber', which is pure and light musk, not showing off but noble, but just now The fragrance on his body is the middle note of 'amber', dense and elegant..."

"When he passed by me just now, did he have other smells? The perfume is so strong, it seems to be covering up something, as if, indeed, there is a faint smell of blood drifting past... Baron Gramere has been sick at home Lying in bed for two days, where will the smell of blood be?"

Audrey's footsteps became slower and slower. As an "spectator" who had completely digested the potion, her sensitivity to details was by no means comparable to other Beyonders.She recalled more and more suspicious points, and suddenly, she thought of a possibility, and her bright green eyes froze.

*In addition, what is the concept of going to the Feysac Empire to lobby most of the nobles and only getting 10 pounds? Audrey exposed Qilingus and received rewards totaling more than 4 pounds from various organizations in various countries.
