"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
"Hmm?" Leibniz seemed to sense something. Sensing something strange, he walked over to the shore of Lake Kanshin and pushed his hand into the water to feel it carefully. Within a few moments, his thick brows furrowed, probably noticing something strange. He stood up, shook off the water from his hand, walked along the shore of the lake for a few steps, and then teleported, shifting to a location directly across the lake from the Vaughn Fort. After gazing at Vaughn Fort for some time, a bit of clarity seemed to come through in his aquamarine eyes. "You are too kind, Mr. Chief, and I would certainly like to wish you well." Anna did not hesitate. esme Crane looked at her sideways, and made no further objections. Paulina was entering the fortress for the third time in recent memory, having come to rescue Yena and Josie, and then spent two or three days there in search of the missing policemen. She was relatively familiar with the place, so she acted as a guide, and led the way with Capta
So they flanked around the large hole in front of them and prepared to enter the main hall of the main building. "Yes." Bella immediately turned on the team spirit sharing that everyone was familiar with. Anna had never seen the Book of Words display such a strong warning before, and was at a loss for words. "Anna?" Esme Crane jumped, and then the attention of the crowd was drawn to her and all gathered around her. As they stepped onto the floor of the dungeon, they held up the insight beam lamp in their hands to observe the scene in the darkness ahead. The Book of Words, which had been silent and unresponsive, suddenly became hot in Anna's arms, and the heat rose so sharply that it immediately burned Anna, causing her to throw the book out subconsciously. The crowd began to penetrate deeper into the dungeon from the location of the stairway, which was extremely dark, with no other source of light other than the Insight Beam Lamp in the crowd's hands. Within the reach of the light
