After the large-scale disaster caused by Beyonder occurred in West Bayam's Northern State Cookawa City, the relevant reports were quickly transmitted to the North Continent via telegram, and were sorted and placed in Archbishop On the table of Anthony, the head of the parish had learned part of the circumstances of Ince Zangwill's death.
But Anthony still has too many questions about the cause of death of defector Archbishop and those who "revenge" him.
"The telegram only mentioned that several Nighthawks members took the lead in the revenge against Ince Zangwill, but it did not describe the specific process. Who did it?"
Anthony flipped the files on the table and asked in a low voice.
"Two Nighthawks who went to the Southern Continent to find the whereabouts of Numinous Episcopate participated in the operation, Leonard Mitchell and Daly Simone, I think You should know them all," Cesimir replied in an erratic voice, "The three main participants are Klein Moretti, Angel Granger, and Dunn Smith."
Upon hearing the last three names, Anthony's breathing stopped for a moment, and the shadow between his eyebrows became more obvious:
"The three victims in Tingen Incident?"
His eyes swept over Cesimir's face, and his tone changed to doubt:
"You don't seem surprised, Crestet."
"Because they were not actually sacrificed. In early September last year, both Dunn Smith and Angel Granger were rescued by Arianna who arrived and joined a secret force responsible for tracking the whereabouts of Ince Zangwill and '0-08'," said Crestet Cesimir's expression was a little strange, "Only Klein Moretti, he really died and Slumber Charm died in the funeral attended by his teammates... Holy See ordered this to be kept strictly confidential and not to be leaked to anyone except Archbishop and the senior deacon, and not to pursue this matter at will."
Seeing that Anthony's expression became as weird as his own, Cesimir added two more sentences:
"What I can say is that Klein Moretti is related to the break-in of Saint Samuel Cathedral Chanis Gate last month. In addition, Angel Granger is 'Goddess Shadow'."
Archbishop Anthony's eyes widened slightly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Why did the "Gehrman Sparrow" that broke into Chanis Gate disappear for no reason, and then reappeared at sea, traveling with "Death Consul" and "Golden Queen"; why did Berserk Sea follow? A mutation occurred, and "0-17" left the seal on its own; why did "Goddess Shadow" obtain Beyonder Characteristic as far away as Para Island to complete Promotion Ritual's Pierce Turner...
"I understand..." He breathed a sigh of relief and changed the topic with his eyes flickering, "What did Ince Zangwill 'say' after his death?"
"Iliya rushed to the scene afterwards and learned a lot of things from the remaining spirit of Ince Zangwill that we didn't know before, such as his mental state after his promotion failed. He was killed by Sealed Artifact's use and defection, as well as the details of cooperation with the Demoness Sect, Aurora Order and the royal family." Cesimir folded his hands on his folded thighs and answered in a calm tone.
"Any clues about Great Smog?"
"There are only indirect clues. Iliya said that Zangwill's Spirit Body was in dilapidated condition. This was the reason why he entered Incomplete Mythical Creature Form before his death, but more likely it was some kind of Secret Keeping or contract ability. As a result, he only remembered one ruins located on the outskirts of Backlund, which was guarded by royal family members and seemed to be preparing for some kind of large-scale sacrifice. However, he only entered it a few times under the leadership of the other party and did not grasp the specific location... This is why I came to Backlund."
Anthony frowned, and he remembered Great Smog the ruins he found after he led the team to the eastern suburbs, and the search that found nothing. This feeling of only being able to smell the opponent's scent but not seeing anyone made him very uncomfortable.
After a moment, he nodded slightly and said:
"I hope this search will yield some results. I will provide several groups of members, including the Soest team who are returning to Backlund to rest, to help you. Well, Mitchell and Simone are also among them. Is this no problem?"
Cesimir chuckled and replied:
"I just want to meet them. What they know is beyond their authority, so they may have to move somewhere... By the way, Dunn Smith will also return with the team. He will temporarily belong to Backlund Diocese as the resident senior deacon, and his code name is 'Goddess Heart'."
Goddess Heart...Anthony repeated this code name, as if thinking of something Sealed Artifact, his eyes became a little deep.
Then, he saw Cesimir lift the silver metal box next to him and remove the seal, allowing the deep black that could attract candlelight to fill the entire office, but a hint of chill gradually emerged in it, like the cold wind of winter blowing into the warm room along the gaps in the doors and windows.
Cesimir fiddled with the box for a while and took out a palm-sized wooden box. The surface of the latter was pure black, almost blending in with the current environment, but it inexplicably attracted Anthony's eyes, making him have a desire to hide it privately.
Something is wrong... Anthony, who is Saint, quickly discovered the problem, gathered his thoughts, moved his eyes to Cesimir with difficulty, and asked thoughtfully:
"After dismantling '1-63', will it be handed over to Beyonder Characteristic of 'Goddess Shadow'?"
"Yes, before that, I would like to trouble you to keep it behind Chanis Gate and not with the activated Sealed Artifact. This will arouse their violent desires. It must be inspected by more than two members, otherwise someone will secretly take it out of Chanis Gate and take it as their own. Well, the same goes for women."
Handing the wooden box containing "Unaging" Demoness Beyonder Characteristic to the other party, Cesimir also looked at it with some reluctance.
On Sunday afternoon, Angel arrived at Empress Borough's Earl Hall home in a carriage.
Since today was just a small salon for psychology enthusiasts, she did not dress too formally. She only wore a popular summer dress and shawl, revealing half of her white calves.
Even if she didn't deliberately spread the charm of "Demoness", this bright color attracted the attention of almost everyone present, including more than half of the women. Even the organizer of the salon, Audrey Hall, came over with bright eyes and gave her an intimate hug.
"You're almost overshadowing me..."
She said softly, blinking slightly to indicate that this was just a friendly joke, and at the same time gently squeezed Angel's palm with her right hand.
This is a secret code between the two, indicating that there are members of "Psychology Alchemists" present.
When Audrey introduced her to other people present, Angel also carefully observed these guests who were either sincerely interested in psychology, or just came to kill boring time, or wanted to get close to the Earl Hall's daughter, and soon discovered the hidden "Spectator" among them.
Stephen Hampres, a furniture merchant, had an encounter with Baron in the incident where Cinderas was raped by Hypnosis. I am the of "Spectator" Pathway Beyonder, behind it was hidden "Manipulator" Hvin Rambis... Angel recalled this information in his mind, and took the initiative to step forward without changing his expression and accepted his Gentlemen gift.
"You must be Christine Teresa Miss that the whole Backlund has fallen in love with recently. Only now do I know why even Baron Cinderas can't forget the short time we spent with you."
Hampres has two neatly trimmed mustaches and dark brown eyes that are elegant and charming. He is more like a university professor than a furniture merchant, and his tone of voice is soothing and layered.
Angel followed his words and chuckled, her eyes revealing her interest in Gentlemen, who had just turned thirty, but she politely kept a distance, so that she was consistent with the recent rumors, but not too alienated from the other party to arouse the suspicion of this "Spectator".
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Angel got together with several aristocratic Misss whom they had met before, and entered the pleasant gossip session in the salon. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that Audrey and Hampres left the hall through the side door one after another, and they didn't know where they went.
I hope the previous arrangements are seamless and everything goes smoothly...Angel thought to himself, and heard a woman next to her who was nearly thirty years old and still unmarried asked teasingly:
"Christine, I heard that you are very interested in the businessman who recently came to Backlund from Desi?"
"I heard that he is already in his forties." Another woman's eyes were a little dull, obviously she couldn't believe that the beautiful Miss Theresa would fall in love with a middle-aged man who was more than twice her age.
"Not only that, last time he attended my father's dinner party, he went to the bathroom four times in a row. Is it possible that he is not healthy..." A girl covered her mouth, her face was a little red, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Why are the rumors getting more and more outrageous? At least I can confirm that there is nothing wrong with his health. Well, currently... Angel reluctantly withdrew his gaze, preparing to correct Dwayne Dantès's image in everyone's mind.
A place in the side hall Reception Room.
Audrey, who was feeling a little uneasy, was sitting on the sofa. Next to her lay Golden Retriever Susie, who looked a little bored and was shaking his head.
After a while, Stephen Hampres entered the room under the guidance of the maid. The door was not locked, and a small crack was exposed to prevent normal conversations from being transmitted and to prevent something harmful to Audrey from happening in the room.
Hampres, who was wearing a gray tuxedo, sat down opposite Audrey with a casual attitude. He looked at the door, then swept over Susie at his feet, and finally stopped at her green gem-like eyes.
"Audrey, report your investigation results."
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his tone was as normal as if he was discussing an academic issue, but what he said was a cold command.
Coming!
Audrey's expression became a little dull, and he looked straight at Hampres, but he was shouting with joy in his heart.
This is completely consistent with her inference!
