It rained heavily on Tingen City on Saturday morning, and dense raindrops slapped on the windows, making a series of sounds.
In Recreation Room on the second floor of Blackthorn Security Company, Nighthawks are sitting casually on sofas and armchairs, communicating in low voices.
Usually at this time, in addition to patrolling within the jurisdiction and tracking extraordinary events, they usually gather at Recreation Room to play "Fight Evil", earn lunch money, scold colleagues with good intentions, or share some interesting things they encountered in life or work with each other.
Angel likes to read the latest newspapers and learn about current affairs at this time. This is a habit she retained from her previous life in the information age. Of course, the Internet was available at that time, but now she can only read paper media, so the timeliness is naturally incomparable.
But this morning, the sounds of playing cards and the laughter of sharing anecdotes were replaced by mutual discussions. After Angel and Klein shared "Acting Method" with everyone on Thursday, such discussions have been held several times.
"I still think 'Sleepless' shouldn't just stay up late..., otherwise 'Corpse Collector' should..."
Kenley frowned and said, although he has been Beyonder for a few months, but because his fiancée is waiting at home, he does not stay up late like several other "Sleepless".
At this time, I heard that to master Potion, I need to find inspiration from the word "Sleepless", which is quite a headache.
"Of course it's more than that. You also need to understand the essence of the whole 'Sleepless' Pathway. Think about the captain, what are the connections between his 'Nightmare' and 'Sleepless'..."
Leonard answered patiently on the sidelines. He originally had a day off today, but he came to the Nighthawks station in the rain to help these teammates understand the meaning of Acting Method as soon as possible.
After answering Kenley's question, he showed a familiar exaggerated expression on his face, and said in a cadence like a recitation:
"By the way, I want to tell you some news. After listening to everyone's understanding of how to master Potion, I also gained some new insights, and I had what Angel said, a unique feeling. I clearly knew that I had completely mastered Potion."
"Are you going to be promoted? From 'Midnight Poet'?"
Seeka Tron, who was drinking coffee on the side, almost sprayed hot coffee on Klein opposite. She hurriedly swallowed the liquid in her mouth and asked incoherently.
As "Midnight Poet", she felt the crisis instantly.
"Well, yes, I might also submit a 'special application' in the near future... well, maybe it won't be necessary. After all, my progress is not very fast."
Leonard smiled modestly, but anyone who knew him well knew that the word "modest" was not in his dictionary at all.
This guy wouldn't have digested Potion long ago, but he just never had the chance to say it out... and he also wanted to take the opportunity to tell others how to "act"...
Looking at the pompous poet's pretentious expression, Angel thought to himself.
"How did you do it? Did you recite famous poems like you usually do?"
Kenley asked curiously.
"Ahem... of course not, and I have also written a lot of original poems." The smile on Leonard's face could hardly hold on. He coughed to get rid of the embarrassment and continued, "You are committing a kind of 'formalism Error' in the field of philosophy. Many Potion has both ancient and modern names, which does not mean that their meanings have changed over time. You should understand the true meaning of the Potion name, and extract your own unique rules based on these meanings, and master Potion under the premise of abiding by them."
"That means reciting poems in the middle of the night?"
"..."
At this moment, someone knocked on Recreation Room's door. The nearest Klein stood up and was about to Door Opening, when Dunn Smith opened the door and walked in.
"It just so happens that you are all here. Well, don't go out later. Angel and Klein come here."
After scanning the room, Dunn said seriously.
The two people whose names were called looked at each other and followed the captain away from Recreation Room to the corridor.
Seeing Angel who came out last and closed the door smoothly, Dunn whispered:
"Holy Cathedral's people have arrived."
Holy Cathedral?
Angel was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
"Are you here to test us?"
Klein asked, Angel could see that the skin on his face was a little tight.
She believed the same was true of her own expression.
"Yes, don't be nervous, come with me."
Dunn nodded and did not continue talking. Instead, he took the lead and walked towards the reception hall. The two of them followed step by step, passed through the partition, and came to the hall.
A beautiful woman is sitting on the sofa, sipping steaming coffee. Bredt, who was on duty today, has disappeared. There are still two wet umbrellas in the corner, and there is some water dripping on the ground.
"Ms. Daly? How did you come to Tingen?"
Angel recognized the "Spirit Medium" in a black dress at a glance.
Today she did not wear the weird and old-fashioned makeup she used to wear, revealing a fairer complexion than ordinary people. Except for the crystal pendant silver chain on her wrist, she did not wear any other jewelry. She was not like the Daly from before.
Simply put, it's more beautiful than usual.
Hearing the voice of Angel, she put down her coffee cup, looked sideways, and said with a smile:
"Didn't you submit a 'special application'? So I came here from Backlund."
"So, you are here to test us?"
Klein asked in surprise.
"Ahem, Daly said she just stopped by Tingen to see you, and there was someone else who was examining the situation." Dunn interjected, causing Daly to look slightly reproachful. Eyes, "The person responsible for your examination this time is Crestet Cesimir Your Excellency. He is one of the nine senior deacons of Nighthawks. He is already waiting for Alchemy Room underground."
There are nine senior deacons and thirteen Archbishop inside Church of the Evernight Goddess. They only need to follow the Divine Revelation of Evernight Goddess, and they only need to be responsible to the Pope. They are the top leaders of the church in the true sense.
Among them, there are many strong ones who have reached Sequence 4 or above.
Since Daly had already revealed the news, Angel did not show any surprise. She looked at the latter, only to find a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Not noticing the expressions of others, Dunn continued:
"Crestet Cesimir's title within the church and even in the entire supernatural world is 'Goddess's Sword'. Although there is only Sequence 5, he is recognized by a certain Holy Artifact, and his combat effectiveness is no worse than that of many Sequence 4."
"You are very Luck. He is a kinder one among all the senior deacons, and he is very optimistic about you." Daly also took over the conversation, "He even brought the Potion formulas and materials for 'Joker' and 'Instigator' so that you can be promoted directly after passing the examination."
He is very kind and very optimistic about us... meaning that this test is very simple...
Wait, "Instigator" is Potion?
Angel was stunned. She subconsciously looked at Daly, the lady who had suggested her to "submit a special application as soon as possible."
Daly, who had taken off her usual makeup, looked back with green eyes. Her smile remained unchanged, but her left eye blinked slightly.
Angel felt a chill in his heart.
When it was done, my hand shook and I sent it directly without writing a title... I heard that the editor has five days off and two days off?
