v1 Chapter 440: Parties

The latest website: Winter County in the north of the Ruen Kingdom.

A black Gothic church with a steeple stands in the snow-covered mountains, covering a very wide area.

In front of it was a cliff, and it was surrounded by a vast expanse of whiteness, without the slightest sound.

This is the Tranquil Church, the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of the Night, commonly known as the Sanctuary.

Leonard Mitchell, with black hair and blue eyes, dressed in a black trench coat and red gloves, was walking out of the post office in the small town at the foot of the mountain, planning to return to the quiet church before dark.

When he first walked to the entrance and exit of the town, he passed by a man wearing a cloak-style embroidered dress and a long wave wig.

Leonard instinctively felt that this figure was a bit familiar, but when he stopped to check it carefully, he was sure that it was not someone he knew.

He shook his head and sighed silently:

"My memory seems to have deteriorated.

"I always mistake strangers for you..."

It wasn't such a thing once or twice, so Leonard didn't care either. He turned around and was about to continue walking outside the town.

At this time, he tilted his head slightly, as if he had heard something, stopped again, turned his head abruptly, and searched for the man he saw before, but found nothing.

"Old man, what you said is true? The man just now had another person? But why didn't I see it?" Leonard lowered his voice while searching for the target in the street.

A slightly older voice immediately rang in his mind:

"Since you learned about the'parasites', it has become more and more impolite...

"I advise you to give up...If I read it right, the lady you didn't notice just now is a saint in the'audience' approach."

"The saint of the'audience' approach? Why did she come to Ningye Town?" Leonard asked suspiciously, but he obeyed the advice of the old voice and did not pursue any further.

"How would I know? Of course, this is where the temple of the Dark Night Church is located, and she must not have come to destroy it." The old voice said with a smile.

"It's true...I don't have my turn to worry about this kind of thing..." Leonard laughed at himself and asked instead, "Does the'audience' approach still have the ability of the'stealth' type?"

"That's not'invisibility' in the true sense, but on a psychological level it makes you turn a blind eye." The old voice replied.

"Old man, you seem to know this ability well?"

"That is, after all, it was stolen and used."

...

In a two-story building in Ningye Town, Dunn Smith took off the disguise and wig from his head and hung it on a hanger beside him. Then, he sighed and said to himself in a deep and mellow voice:

"Leonard actually joined the'Red Gloves'... It's really not like him... It seems that Tingen's affairs have had a great impact on him."

After a while, his gaze became sharp again, he looked at the rocking chair he was swaying not far away, and asked seriously: "Ms. Closfia, are you sure that the murderer who killed forty-three people was hiding in Ning. In the night town?"

"OK...I guess he thinks the most dangerous place is the safest...Unfortunately, he doesn't know that there is a servant of the goddess of the night who is practicing in Ningye Town, and he already knows his evil deeds." The curly-haired woman appeared and replied while reading the book lazily.

"Servant of the goddess?" Dunn asked in surprise.

Since the servant of the goddess knows the existence of the murderer, why wait until he comes to deal with it? Moreover, the relationship between the Mother Earth Church and the Church of Dark Night seems to be not very good. Why did the servant of the goddess allow Ms. Closfia to enter Ningye Town?

"You are the loyal guardian of the goddess in the dark, why are you worried about this?" Closfia, or Miss "Lazy" naturally saw the confusion of the "tool man" she cultivated, and explained with a smile, "That person is here. He is a loyal believer of the goddess, who has donated large sums of money to the church, his identity is not ordinary, and his influence is great... Before there is sufficient evidence to prove his evil deeds, it is not convenient for the church to take action."

"So, do you need a hero of ‘righteous’ at this time?" Dunn said thoughtfully. At the same time, he confirmed one thing that Krossfia and the servant of the goddess should know each other and have a good relationship, otherwise they would never be able to deal with such an incident.

"However, you have to pay attention...Because it is near the church of the Dark Night Church, I will definitely not be able to help you today, and you will only have five minutes at most." Closfia put down her hand, rare and solemnly.

"I see." Dunn's gray eyes nodded deeply.

...

About an hour later, as a "storm of light" swept past, a man in his forties fell from mid-air to the ground like a broken doll, causing the small building that had already collapsed mostly to collapse again.

His limbs, hands and feet became tattered, and if a vest on his body blocked part of his power, he might have been torn to pieces by the "light" at this time.

Dunn, who was wearing a golden and red armor, then arrived. He took out a "guidance" spell that Ms. Closfia gave him in advance. After being excited, he asked in a deep voice to the man in front of him:

"Why are you killing those forty-three people?"

"Because...to kill..." the man said intermittently while he was still alive.

"Why mute?"

"They are my partners and their families... We found a ruin in the waters near Fusak Indore Port...

"It looks like a relic of a giant dragon...but there are rituals decorated with'five-colored brilliant stones' around the site...we can't go deep...

"In order to keep this secret and swallow the treasure, I... I killed all the insiders... but I was also very painful... So, I came to Ning Ye Town, where I was closest to the goddess, and confessed to him... "

Hearing this, Dunn asked him about the specific location and general situation of the ruins before he completely resolved the opponent.

Immediately afterwards, the dream suddenly shattered, and the collapsed houses recovered as before. Only the man had really died...Of course, he died in good health, and he died peacefully.

After leaving the criminal record of the other party and his own special logo, Dunn took advantage of the night to fly away from Ningye Town.

After another ten minutes, a red glove arrived here.

...

Backlund.

At night, in a chess room at the Brave Bar on Iron Gate Street, Maric, wearing a white shirt and black vest, was playing Texas Hold'em with the corpses.

At this moment, Jane, wearing a black robe with a hood, pushed the door and walked in. She looked around, patted a living corpse on the shoulder, ordered it to get out of the seat for herself, and then sat down on the other person’s. Location.

Maric's face was still pale, he lifted his chin somewhat depressed, and said in a low voice:

"When will ‘psychic’ be able to manipulate living corpses?"

After the previous cooperation in the battle with the "Rose School" indulgence, Jane's heart knot has been relieved for the most part, and her attitude towards Maric and Sharon has also changed.

On the surface, they are getting acquainted...

"Naturally, ‘psychic’ is not good, but ‘necromancer’ is good." After Jane replied, she felt seriously and asked strangely, "Where’s Sharon?"

She was wearing the "Secret Puppet Hand" and could see the "Spirit Line", so she was sure that the "Resentful Soul" lady was not present.

"Necromancer? So you have already promoted... How fast..." Maric was in a daze, after all, the little girl in front of him was the one who personally led the Beyonders on the road a few months ago. How long has it been? It's already Sequence 6 with myself...

And in terms of fighting ability, I may not be able to compare to her... Maric sighed secretly, stopped thinking about this topic, and said, "Sharon is going out with something... You are looking for her?"

"Sharon seems to be very busy lately... I haven't been there for several days and nights..." Jane murmured, organized a sentence, and said:

"I will go to the Southern Continent to do something for that lady...I came here to ask, do you have anything you want me to help?"

She knew that Maric and Sharon were both from the Southern Continent, and had been unable to go back because of the pursuit of the "Rose School".

Maric was silent for a moment, then suppressed the emotion in his eyes and said: "If you can... Go and help us take a look at a few friends' families... If possible, try to help them..."

After speaking, he took a pen and paper, wrote a few names and addresses, and handed them to Jane.

Without the help of those companions, he and Sharon could not escape the hunt at first, and could not sustain the assistance of the lady... But they helped themselves, and they would definitely be liquidated by the "Rose School" afterwards.

"Okay." Jane didn't say much, took the note directly, and put it away solemnly.

...

West End, 9 Bellotto Street, MI9 Headquarters Building.

A mature and elegant, handsome man in a neat tuxedo walked into the office of His Royal Highness Vera, and smiled and said to the heroic princess:

"Vera, there is a task for you. If things go well, after everything is over, you should have enough contributions to apply for the'Law Mage' potion."

Listen to it~lightnovelpub.net~ This man is also a member of the royal family of Luen, and his seniority is higher than that of His Royal Highness Vera.

"I'm'bait'?" Vera raised her head and said directly.

Her identity itself is very confusing.

"Vera, it’s not good to be too smart...it’s not good to be too direct..." The handsome man smiled and shook his head, then continued, "but don’t worry, although it’s a bait, Georgina will go with him in secret. And , The bait is not just yours."

Hearing that a saint would be accompanying, Vera's expression became solemn, she frowned and asked: "What are you going to send to the Southern Continent? Can't you just'travel' over it?"

"The risk of intercepting'travel' is greater..." The handsome man shook his head again.

After hearing this, Vera thought about it for a while before asking: "Time?"

"At twelve o'clock this Thursday, there will be a boat to Pritz Harbor... In addition, you can bring up to ten people."
