After this incident.

In the following games, everyone lost the initial interest.

The topic of discussion has also shifted from fighting competitions to mysterious fields. Faced with novel things, they follow their instinctive drive and want to find out something.

As a member of the "Mystery Research Group" interest club, Miss Dadeier naturally became the center of the topic.

Originally, she was the most dazzling core figure in this circle, but now she has become even more dazzling.

Young men and women gathered around her, asking this and that, with curious expressions on their faces.

Such as:

What is the devil?

How to make a contract with the devil?

Is the power of the devil terrible?

Are there many sorcerers in the empire?

Does the official have a way to deal with the devil?

Purification Department What is "Gnosis" that the officer said?

Wait.

Miss Dadeier always maintained that gentle smile. She could answer some questions, and she was not clear on some questions, but she always told her frankly.

Faced with unanswerable questions, everyone also thought about asking Gilan.

But when they saw the young man in black coat sitting alone on the small sofa, looking like he wouldn't let strangers approach him, they gave up the idea.

Originally, facing this illegitimate son of House Fahan, they felt contempt and rejection. But when they learned that this peer had the strength of a master and the ability to spy and identify devils, their attitude quietly changed.

I became somewhat inexplicable awe of him.

Compared with these, the identity of an illegitimate child is not worth mentioning.

That mysterious temperament that transcends identity is like a black shadow, always shrouding the young man's body, making people hold their breath unconsciously.

But what they don't know is that Gilan seems to be drinking tea alone and in a daze, but is actually quietly observing someone.

This person is the blonde girl who has been sitting next to Miss Dadeier.

The enchanting lady named Jenna Claire.

After silent observation, Gilan can almost confirm that she is exactly the "Miss Rabbit" remembered by the black market businessman "Big Goose".

This woman is very rich and is also passionate about underground movies.

But it is unlikely that she wanted to watch it for herself, because the amount purchased was too large.

Therefore, Gilan concluded that this "Miss Rabbit" is either a middleman who specializes in acquiring small underground films and selling them to the upper class circles. Or he is collecting them on behalf of someone or an organization and has some ulterior secret.

Thinking of her identity as the daughter of the president "July Baptist Church", Gilan suddenly had a guess.

'Although Baptist Society disdains the red tape of Church of Hope, most of its members are devout Dawn Era believers. Why are they so keen on underground films?'

Gilan A thought flashed through his mind, and his heart trembled.

'Could it be...Second Era-God, Old God "Mother of Fertility"?'

After the divergence and extension of his thoughts, a related power organization popped out of his mind--

Old God Cult "Dawn Golden Bough"!

July Baptist Church, is it possible that this secret sect has been infiltrated?!

Gilan is not sure. After all, there is a lack of clear evidence. These are just conclusions derived by myself based on one-sided findings.

Furthermore, what July Baptist Church is has nothing to do with him.

Everyone chatted in the box for nearly an hour.

Near noon, the "Monthly Salon" game was completely over, and everyone got up and prepared to leave.

Kordel boldly invited everyone to dine at a high-end restaurant near the club, but Miss Dadeier declined on the grounds that she had something important to do.

Without her participation as a core figure, the others were not so active, so the proposal to have a dinner party was abandoned.

When they were saying goodbye, when everyone walked out of the box, Miss Dadeier at the back quietly grabbed Gilan's sleeve.

"Mr. Gilan, I'm sorry, can I take up a moment of your time."

She pushed her pale blond hair behind her ear, revealing a white ear, and her soft eyes showed expectation.

Beside him, the blonde girl named Jenna followed quietly.

Gilan nodded slightly when he saw that it was exactly what he wanted.

However, Dadeier did not speak immediately, but turned to look at the door.

Milinda's little head poked in with a look of gossip on her face. Behind her stood two young men, Kordel and Prince, with concerned expressions.

"Milinda sister, please close the door."

Dadeier smiled politely.

"I have something private. I want to talk to Mr. Gilan alone. It's not convenient for others to hear me."

Hearing this, the expressions of Kordel and Prince changed slightly. Among them, Kordel looked at Gilan with a slightly hostile look, even a warning.

Gilan turned a blind eye to this.

"Oh." Milinda looked disappointed, but he closed the box door knowingly. Finally, he mouthed to Gilan, as if to say, "Brother Gilan, come on."

Completely ignoring the hints in the eyes of his brother Prince.

Click.

When there are only three people left in the room, Dadeier, Gilan and Jenna.

"That's it, Mr. Gilan."

Dadeier said after a moment of wording.

"I have a good best friend who has been behaving a little abnormally recently. I suspect that she is being harmed by the devil or a mysterious force... But due to the lack of screening methods, I am very distressed."

"I wonder if I could ask you to help me go take a look."

Her tone was sincere and full of hope.

Gilan raised his eyebrows and said:

"Why don't you go to the official Purification Department? They must have plenty of ways to solve this kind of thing."

"No." Dadeier shook his head.

"My best friend... she is a noble, and her family values tradition and face. And this matter involves people and things in some circles, so it is not convenient for the official to know, so as not to leak it and cause damage to her reputation."

Gilan immediately thought of the newspaper headlines I saw this morning.

'Could it be that those aristocratic ladies who behaved abnormally were bewitched by the devil, or were they influenced by mysterious forces?'

He secretly guessed.

At this time, Dadeier whispered again:

"I wonder if you are sure, Mr. Gilan? If you can help me solve this matter, I will give you a corresponding reward as a reward for your hard work."

"Then you're not worried about me spreading this matter?"

Gilan asked with interest.

Miss Dadeier smiled slightly, shook her head and said:

"Mr. Gilan is the noble young master of House Fahan. I believe in your character, and I believe in my own vision."

"A gentleman as good as you wouldn't do such boring things, right?"

Gilan secretly sighed, Dadeier is indeed the second daughter of the earl family, her words and deeds have the temperament that a noble lady should have, and her conversation is full of secrets.

With this high hat on his head, even if he tries to save face, he will definitely keep his mouth shut. Moreover, Dadeier seems to be sure that he will not leak the matter. After all, the consequences will be to offend her, and the risks and benefits are not proportional.

Gilan originally wanted to establish a good relationship with Dadeier so that he could explore the channels in the future. After pretending to think about it, he nodded slightly:

"Of course not. Then I will accept your request, Miss Dadeier."

Gilan put the short top hat on his head, adjusted it, and added:

"But I can't guarantee that this matter will be resolved."

"Of course, I know."

Dadeier was overjoyed and nodded.

"Then how about we continue to meet at 'Silver Lizard' at ten o'clock tomorrow morning?"

"Okay." Gilan agreed.

Miss Dadeier lifted up her skirt and bowed slightly to him.

However, the expression of the blonde girl Jenna on the side changed imperceptibly. There was a trace of unnaturalness in her eyes.
