Chapter 277 Seminar
"Is it about that vampire Emlyn White from last time?"
Sitting on the sofa next to the bay window, Sherlock pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and asked the question.
"Yes, it's been a week since I last went to the Harvest Church," Angel nodded and said, "Since he doesn't do any evil, I think I can talk to Father Utravsky of the church and have him released."
"Actually, I had this plan. The detective who also asked me to find Emlyn last time learned that he was imprisoned in the church and hoped that I could rescue him. His parents, uh, the Whites, who are also vampires, have moved out of 48 Riverbend Avenue, but have been keeping an eye on Emlyn's situation. They are both doctors, not only have no evil deeds, but have left a good reputation among the neighbors, so I want to help them."
Angel was originally worried about how to convince the detective, but he didn't expect that the detective had received a corresponding commission, and he could just let him come forward to communicate with the priest and rescue Emlyn.
If she hadn't been so busy these days, she would have wanted to go and see the priest who was obsessed with missionary work. Fortunately, Sherlock readily agreed and said he would go to the Harvest Church tomorrow to try to rescue the unfortunate vampire from the priest of the Mother Earth.
"But be careful. Father Utravsky is a Sequence 6 Warrior Path, a 'Knight of the Dawn,' and now even worships the Earth Mother. Do not confront him in the church. If he refuses to release you, find another solution."
Angel warned.
"I will perform divination first to confirm that it is safe before going. And as you know, my extraordinary ability is very suitable for escaping."
Sherlock chuckled to himself.
Speaking of divination, Angel felt ashamed in front of this real fortune teller again. He always felt that the other party was deliberately bringing up this kind of topic, subtly mocking his shameful behavior as a "fortune telling master".
Fortunately, she had already advanced to Sequence 6. Not only had she mastered the magic mirror divination that she had mastered since she was a witch, but she had also made great progress in divination using pendulums, coins, and divining rods. With this in mind, she tried to ask the magician if he had any books on divination, intending to borrow them and study them carefully, aiming to improve her skills as quickly as possible and escape the fate of being ridiculed.
"Books..." Sherlock twirled his beard, thinking for a moment, and nodded. "I recently acquired a copy of the Book of Secrets. It contains a lot of summaries on rituals, divination, and secret contracts. It might be helpful to you. But I'm still studying the knowledge inside, so maybe I can lend it to you later."
She didn't expect that Sherlock actually had a book about divination. Although it was just a pie in the sky, it still made her feel satisfied.
Of course, this kind of borrowing usually comes at a price. Angel only has more than 100 pounds in cash on him at this time. He may have to find a way to sell the potion formula or useless Beyonder characteristics in order to borrow this "Book of Secrets" which sounds very valuable.
"By the way, Mr. Sherlock, I discovered at a secret Beyonder gathering today that someone was publicly acquiring the Beyonder attributes of 'Sheriff' and 'Interrogator'..."
She remembered the information she saw at Mr. A's rally and told him her concerns, reminding him not to sell the "Interrogator" feature in his hand in the near future, so as to avoid being found by those who are looking for the thief "Black Emperor" and discovering their actions.
"It's pretty much what I suspected. Capian's 'superiors' must be a bit bewildered by his death, which is why they're so hastily and ostentatiously searching for clues..."
Sherlock said this with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he didn't care at all about the forces behind those who were pursuing him.
Angel had only casually reminded him, but seeing that he didn't care, he didn't say much. Moreover, the main purpose of this trip - to entrust him to rescue Emlyn White - had been achieved, so he prepared to say goodbye and leave.
If she hadn't had to prepare to protect Audrey at the seminar tomorrow, she would have had to take time out to come today. She didn't want to come to Sherlock's house at night. Even though the atmosphere in Rune was relatively open, being alone with her at night would have a negative impact on the detective's reputation.
After Angel learned from Laura how to play the role of the "Pleasure Witch", this kind of thought that she had never realized before would appear in her mind from time to time. At this moment, her attention was focused on the current situation of being "alone", and some strange thoughts popped up in her mind involuntarily.
"Well, I hope you can rescue that unfortunate vampire as soon as possible. After all, I owe him a favor."
After hurriedly leaving a nonsensical sentence, Angel fled from Sherlock's house, leaving the detective with a curious look on his face.

On Sunday evening, Audrey Hall walked down the stairs with her dog Susie, left the living room, and came to the carriage that had been waiting at the door.
Audrey reported to her father, Earl Hall, that she was going to attend the psychology seminar at the invitation of psychologist Islant. As Islant had come to the Hall house many times to teach Audrey psychology, the Earl was no stranger to the lady and therefore agreed to her request.
However, the cautious eldest brother, Hibbert Hall, still allowed Audrey to bring two guards. They were both from the military and had participated in the war in the southern continent. They had no problem dealing with ordinary dangers. But unfortunately, or fortunately, they were not Beyonders...
Looking at the two guards who were already sitting in another carriage, Audrey thought secretly.
With the help of her maid Anne, she boarded the carriage. A young woman with long black hair and a plain round face was already sitting in the carriage. She was wearing a set of clothes that were easy to move in, a black windbreaker, and a brand new revolver on her waist. Anne looked at her sideways and frowned.
But Audrey really liked this heroic style of dressing, which reminded her of the retired female soldier who briefly taught her female self-defense last year. Unfortunately, Audrey was not interested in it at that time and quickly turned down the course.
"Ms. Irene, thank you for accompanying me to this seminar."
After sitting down, Audrey greeted softly.
Irene Watson smiled and nodded. After Anne closed the door, the two carriages drove off one after another and headed towards the Hillston area.
When the carriage left King's Road and passed by the Backlund Police Headquarters, Sivellas Field, Audrey withdrew her gaze from the window and turned to Irene, who was sitting across from her, resting with her eyes closed. She suddenly asked:
"Ms. Irene, do you think tonight's seminar will go smoothly?"
The latter opened his eyes and looked at Audrey curiously. Then, as if understanding what she meant, he nodded in response:
“There may be some ups and downs, but it should go smoothly.”
This means that her divination skills indicate that this journey will be somewhat dangerous.
No wonder she was armed and prepared for the worst...
Audrey thought.
Although she could see that Eslant's invitation was well-intentioned, it didn't mean accidents wouldn't happen. Fortunately, she had the Queen accompanying her this time, which gave her a sense of security. Ever since she learned about the world of occultism and the various abilities of Beyonders, she no longer believed that ordinary guards could protect her from Beyonders.
But wouldn't this deepen the "Queen's" suspicion of me? After all, she claims to be a "diviner" and doesn't possess the ability to engage in direct combat, yet I insisted on having her accompany me to this somewhat risky psychology seminar...
Audrey carefully observed Irene's expression. She looked a little wary and helpless, but not doubtful, which made her feel a little relieved.
Looking at Anne, the personal maid beside her, who was sorting the items in her handbag with her head down and did not notice that the atmosphere in the carriage was a bit strange. Susie, who was lying on the floor of the carriage, stared at Irene Watson with her round eyes.
"Susie, you're exposing yourself too easily! And if Miss Queen finds out that you're also a spectator, it would be like exposing my identity. After all, I once asked at the Tarot Club about how animals behave after taking the potion..."
She blushed for a moment, but fortunately, the "mind reader"'s expression management allowed her to quickly regain her composure, until the carriage arrived at Burningham Road in the Hillston district and stopped in front of a villa with a classical appearance.
Ms. Islant Osisileka, with her black hair and baby face, was already waiting at the door of the villa.
