"It's not impossible... I could give it to you, but it would have to be reported to the regiment. In fact, generally speaking, communication gems given to collaborators are given out on an ad hoc basis when they go on a mission, to be given as a gift, and you're the first." Anna follows Esme Crane's movements and tries again to pet the black cat, who doesn't duck away again, while Anna's heart takes delight in touching the black cat's soft fur and her emotions are inexplicably soothed. The house was lit up, and it was Esme Crane who had unscrewed the gas lamp above the shoe cabinet by the door. "It's okay... It's okay, so it's a black cat." Anna breathed a long sigh of relief. "I have carefully identified the spell formation painted in red paint in the building. Ten years ago, someone in the group had seen such an evil spell in a small town on the edge of the Underland Forest, and although there were some differences in the details, the overall meaning of the spell was not very dif
"You're joining us?" Paulina was taken aback, and Esme Crane twisted her head in surprise to look at Anna. "It's that octavo case, isn't it?" Who was it? Surprisingly, she couldn't remember. "How come Prohibition didn't last another ten or eight years, now that it's been reinstated, these drunks have really increased with a vengeance." Esme Crane felt the air a little dull and wanted to start a conversation to break the mood of the moment. But Anna did not look in a good mood, and she had the good sense to keep her mouth shut. Paulina saw the black under her eyes and thought of how busy she had been in recent days, working day and night, and felt a little distressed for a moment and said. "Captain Paulina you are too kind, you are older than me, just call me Anna." Coldly just then there was a knock at the door of the dormitory, followed by Paulina's cry of She was just about to put away the partnership agreement when she suddenly noticed a cheque for 500 gold clipped to it.Pau
"You're not being followed, are you?" James asked cautiously. "It is expected that he will choose to lurk during the day and escape at nightfall until curfew. We split up into two groups, one watching the traffic routes to the northwest, which is here in Torrington Town. One group is keeping an eye on the route to the south, as this guy seems to be connected to the indigenous religion of the Underdark." "James, it's me." The red-nosed man pretending to be a postman pulled down his mask to reveal his face and spoke out. "Hunter Valkyrie is also my fighting instructor, over 80% of the regiment's personnel were taught by her. She's on the front lines at the moment, and in a few days the chief will be returning to the front lines, when she will return to Zocta on duty to assist us in holding down the regiment. It will only be a few days before you will see her." Bella, Louis Holmes and Polaris were uncharacteristically pondering this question, James suddenly flipped open the Book of Se
Esme Crane took note of the drunk, a tall, strong man with very short shaved blond hair, blond eyelashes and stubble, green eyes drooping lazily, a brown stand-up trench coat and a slightly worn yarmulke, and a very handsome appearance. He didn't look like a local from this suburban township, but somehow he was here to get drunk. Louis Holmes glanced at Esme Crane and then at Anna, not uttering a word in retort for a moment, while Paulina next to her had the odd look of someone who wanted to laugh but was holding it in. "Are you guys sure the item in that package is the Book of Secret Words?" Anna asked before she could. Bella used her spirit to scout the house and there was no one in it. But the upper floor was occupied, so they moved up one floor, which was occupied by a thirty-year-old coal mining company employee, well-mannered in appearance, but judging by the rumpled shirt and pants he wore, it was assumed he was either single or a widower. The barkeeper said that Paddington
The crowd had a lot of questions, and if they all asked them, it would have been rather confusing for Blinken to answer them. So they stopped asking questions and listened to Blinken's story. Bella skillfully used her mental powers to question this neighbor and received this response. The neighbors thought it was so strange, but the little girl was so pink and beautiful that she gave the old couple great comfort, which couldn't be said to be a bad thing. It was not long after this contact that something happened to the Cook family of three. On an obsidian day in the late autumn of November 1856, the sad news came out of the blue that the old couple had been bitten alive by their own young daughter, who seemed to have hatched and broken something out of her body, and the entire human muscles, internal organs and skeleton had disappeared, leaving only a torn layer of human skin. In 1851 when the old Cooke tree blossomed, the couple, who were fifty years old, were surprised to have a
Esme Crane pondered for a moment, and gave his opinion: "I have connected so many clues, and introduced a general warp and woof. I will say a few words and ask for corrections." And she had learned from books about the customs of this world, and in the midst of such a society that prized stability, the union of men and women for reproduction was elevated to a rather important position. The holy religion regarded homosexuality as heresy, something to be judged at the stake. Lesbians were more oppressed than male homosexuals because male homosexuals still had the option to give birth to the next generation in union with a woman and did not have to take on the task of raising them. But a woman who abandons the responsibility of procreation and child-rearing will suffer endless reproach and abuse. "Things are in trouble, we can't venture in, we'll have to contact the regiment to deal with it." The black curtain was actually a semi-circular barrier, somewhat similar to the one that envel
"You're too good at understanding, girl. Do you know that yourself are usually an iceberg face to anyone, but when you mention Professor Gibson Mcknighten, your face looks like it's blossoming." "So you, don't be like them, just say it if you have a crush. I see that Professor Gibson Mcknighten doesn't have no feelings for you at all, so if you say it, maybe you two will be able to make it. The hunter profession is precarious, we should cherish every second of our existence in the world and not leave regrets." Louis Holmes lamented, her eyes were crystal clear, as if she remembered the past. "Professor Gibson Mcknighten is such a proud person, and so clever, that she can figure out the most complicated things at once. And also eager to correct others, always gives me a sense of oppression, you do not have such feelings?" Louis Holmes asked. "What are you two deserting there? Concentrate and speed up the spiritual energy delivery. The Black Curtain's power has increased, and I can ho
"And I afraid that the host of this descent is a host that is already several years old. But this host still suffers from a congenital deficiency flaw, and so is still not up to the descent of the Lord of Tindalos." "Beron, go inside that stone house, the source is underneath it, lock it down with a sphere cage." "Indeed, does this have anything to do with the mutinous assassination within the Order that occurred five years ago?" Bella came over as well, echoing Esme Crane's speculation. At this point Bella, Esme Crane and Polaris are confused. "Oh, I haven't been introduced, Beron is the supervising investigator of the Papal Police Headquarters in Zocta, he used to be a member of the Church's Heretical Inquisition, doing the job of inspecting the internal discipline of the Papacy. He quit on his own five years ago when the head of the Papal Inquisition changed, and was assigned to the Police Headquarters. The sphere cage was his invention, and he was my experimental partner." "Th
