At six in the evening, Backlund, where the sun was already hard to see during this season, had fallen into darkness, and the gas streetlights lit up one after another.
The Kingdom Museum had sent off its last group of ordinary visitors, only to welcome a tour group made up of nobles such as daughters of earls, children of dukes, and young viscounts.
Knowing that some young nobles were pampered playboys prone to causing trouble, Max Levimoore, captain of the Machinery Heart's West District Squad responsible for guarding the memorial exhibition, had no choice but to disguise himself as a security guard and stay by their side at all times to prevent accidents.
His neatly combed-back hair, Monocle, and refined manner made him look like a university professor.
That Monocle was actually a Sealed Artifact, codenamed "3-1328" and nicknamed the Crystal Eye. Through it, Max Levimoore could directly see spirit bodies, ghosts, and wraiths. He no longer had to fear Beyonders using such normally difficult-to-detect things to cause trouble or steal.
Of course, this Sealed Artifact also had obvious drawbacks. It easily attracted Monsters such as resentful spirits and wraiths, and prolonged use would irreversibly weaken one's eyesight.
At that moment, the Machinery Heart Beyonder was not watching the radiant Miss Audrey, who shone like sunlight.
Instead, he was staring at a handsome young man who also wore a Monocle.
Instructor Franklin.
A rising star of the Church of the Evernight.
Both the Machinery Heart and the Punishers suspected that the Night Watchers' flashy new fighting techniques had been taught by this instructor.
Though he was not an official member of the Church of the Evernight, his status was extraordinary.
The Night Watchers' performances over the past few occasions had also fully demonstrated the strength of that new fighting art.
