Emlyn was silent for two seconds, then he lowered his chin and asked:

"Yes, who?"

To him, although angels are worthy of awe, what really makes him bow his head is that every great figure in the blood race who can be called "Him" is a witness and participant of the long history of the race, and is the source of his pride.

"I don't know. Anyway, I will inform you when the time comes." Casimi Odra shook his head.

... Came for the revelation of the First Ancestor? With follow-up instructions? Why didn't the First Ancestor reveal it to me directly? It would be more hidden. I am the vampire chosen by Him! Is this to avoid irritating Mr. Fool? Questions flashed through Emlyn's mind, and he answered them himself.

Without saying anything more, he put on his hat and left Audra's villa.

Arriving at the door, Emlyn glanced at the bright sun that could not be blocked by the thin clouds. He curled his lips in disdain, raised his hand to hold the brim of his hat, lowered his head, and ran straight to the taxi at the corner of the street, muttering in his heart:

“This weather is really not suitable for going out!

"The ingredients for the potion that the 'World' wants are not rare, and it can be prepared in a quarter of an hour... Well, the materials that were ordered earlier should be available today, and the transaction that has been delayed for several days, Miss 'Magician', can now proceed..."

…………

Backlund, Cherwood District.

Fors arranged the bottles of glass potions on the altar and looked at the light blue or golden bottles. She inexplicably felt the pleasure of shopping.

"It's more tempting than a cocktail. I wonder what flavor it is. Maybe it would feel better if I put some ice in it... Really, what are you thinking? This is all potion!" Fors spat at herself and busied herself tidying up the room.

After getting these healing potions, she had completed her preparations to go to the abandoned castle in the Delaire Forest and was just waiting for Xio to come home!

After sorting out all the things, Fors collapsed on the sofa, picked up a few newspapers, and planned today's itinerary:

"We'll set off at dusk and should be able to reach the town on the edge of the forest by dinner time..."

While mumbling silently, Fors turned to the newspaper "Maritime News".

Suddenly, her eyes fixed, and a familiar name appeared in her pupils:

"German Sparrow!"

The adventurer appeared on the sea again, boarded the "Black Tulip" with a middle-aged man called "Archon of Death", killed "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell, and once again changed the composition of the seven pirate generals.

"..." Fors patted his chest subconsciously, not knowing what he was celebrating.

At this moment, she inexplicably felt that Gehrman Sparrow's experience was legendary enough to be written into a book!

It's a pity that he's not an easy person to deal with. Otherwise, I could work part-time as a biographer and write a book for him...Haha, if I really wrote "Gehrman Sparrow", I would definitely be targeted by the official Beyonders...Fors thought to himself, and then heard the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole.

She raised her head and saw Xio push open the door and enter the living room.

"So early?" Fors asked in surprise.

Xio rubbed his blond hair on the right side and said:

"Met with MI9 again and accepted a mission."

"What mission?" Fors turned over and sat up, asking curiously.

Xio casually threw his body onto the sofa:

"Look up the origins of the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow.

"The information provided by MI9 shows that the name used by this terrifying Beyonder is fake, and his identity documents are also fake, and the source is Backlund.

"They suspect that Gehrman Sparrow has another identity here, an accomplice or collaborator."

When Fors heard the word "accomplice", the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. She really wanted to tell Hugh that MI9's guess was correct and Gehrman Sparrow's accomplice was sitting across from her.

She coughed lightly and asked calmly:

"Why do we need to investigate Gehrman Sparrow's background?

"What did he do again?"

Xio glanced at the newspapers piled next to Fors and said:

“You haven’t watched today’s Sea News?

"German Sparrow killed 'Admiral of Hell' Ludwell and was known as the strongest adventurer in the Five Seas.

"By the way, someone from MI9 also told me that Gehrman Sparrow is likely to believe in a secret entity called The Fool. This news came from multiple channels, including the Aurora Society and the Rose School."

I can prove this... they are right... Fors laughed:

"It sounds dangerous."

"Yes." Xio nodded. "I only plan to collect intelligence, not conduct an in-depth investigation."

Fors stopped talking about this and said:

"I have prepared the potion. Shall we go to the Dreyer Forest today?"

Xio had become a Sequence 7 "Interrogator" a few days ago and had mastered the very useful ability of "Mind Piercing".

"Okay." Xio stood up very vigorously, "Let's go now."

"Ah? Wait a little longer. I'm thinking about dusk..." Fors responded with some resistance.

She always wanted to put it off until the last minute.

Not long after, she was pulled out of the rented house by Xio with all her belongings, and got into a hired carriage, heading to the nearby subway entrance.

Amid the thunderous sound of the whistle, the huge steam locomotive dragged its iron-black winding body into the platform and stopped under the illumination of the gas wall lamps on both sides.

Fors and Xio stood outside a carriage, waiting patiently for the passengers in front to come out.

Suddenly, they saw two "red gloves".

The owner of this pair of "red gloves" is a man in his thirties wearing a white shirt and a black windbreaker. The collar is very high, covering his chin and lips.

He had dark green eyes and golden brown sideburns, and was carrying a silver case large and wide enough to hold a violin.

Fors and Xio looked at each other, then lowered their eyes and looked at the tips of their shoes.

…………

As a senior deacon of the "Night Watchers" team of the Church of Evernight, one of the twenty-two powerful people in the upper echelons of the church, and a member of the "Red Gloves" triumvirate, Creste Cecima is not a person who cares about ostentation. He likes to travel alone, riding on civilian transportation, and behaves like an ordinary church member.

After changing to another subway line and arriving in the North District, he took a horse-drawn carriage and arrived at St. Samuel's Church, where he met the Archbishop of the Backlund Diocese, Saint Anthony Stevenson.

"I'll be sorry to trouble you for your help over the next period of time." After greeting each other and praising the goddess, Cecima found a seat, sat down, and spoke.

Archbishop Anthony, who had a clean face and wore a black robe with red, also sat down and spoke carefully:

"Is it related to Ince Zangwill's matter?"

"Yes." Cecima nodded slightly. "The Holy See asked me to tell you that another servant of the Goddess, the headmistress of the Night Monastery, Ms. Arianna, will also come to Backlund soon."

This ascetic was ranked first among the thirteen archbishops.

Without waiting for St. Anthony to ask, he explained in detail:

"Ms. Ilia learned a lot of important information from the remaining spirit of Ince Zangwill, including the details of how he had mental problems, was used by 0-08 to escape, and cooperated with the royal family and the witch sect...

"After planning the Great Smog Incident, Ince Zangwill was attacked by 0-08 and possessed by the evil spirit of the Red Angel that survived the Fourth Epoch. He went to the southern continent alone and tried to set a trap to hunt down Lady Ilia.

"The most important point here is that there is a very important underground relic in Ince Zangwill's memory. It is located in the northwest suburbs of Backlund, before the Tussock River flows into this area.

"My mission is to find the ruins."

Saint Anthony listened quietly and asked thoughtfully:

"Ince Zangwill doesn't know the exact location?

"He hasn't been there?"

Cecima shook her head and said:

"He has been in, but he was always led by others and did not have key information."

Saint Anthony said "hmm" and asked:

"Have you figured out which group of people in the royal family are working with Ince Zangwill?"

"No." Creste Cecima paused and said, "According to normal logic, whether the collaborator disguised himself or not, since they have met, there must be corresponding memory fragments left. But in Ince Zangwill's spirit, there is no trace of this. It seems that it has never existed."

“Perhaps it’s the influence of the contract that makes a Sequence 4 demigod completely unable to resist. The source of the power of the contract is worth paying attention to.” Saint Anthony nodded slightly.

He thought for a moment and said:

"The previous telegram didn't describe much, so I don't know the details. Who killed Ince Zangwill?"

Creste Cecima exhaled slowly and said:

"A name you will never dare to believe, Klein Moretti."

"The member of the Nighthawks who died in the Tingen incident?" The wrinkles on Anthony's forehead suddenly deepened.

"Yes, that's what Ilia reported. No one knows why Klein Moretti, who was only Sequence 8 at the time, came back to life, and why he was able to kill Ince Zangwill, a demigod holding '0-08', in less than a year..." At this point, Cecima's expression became a little strange. "The Holy See asked us to keep this news strictly confidential and not to disclose it to anyone other than the archbishop and senior deacons. Also, don't track down Klein Moretti. Just treat him as if he has always been lying in the grave."

Saint Anthony was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly as if he remembered something:

"Perhaps, this is a person favored by the goddess..."

Cecima raised her head sharply and looked at Saint Anthony as if he were a madman.

He moved his lips a few times, but finally said nothing.

Anthony did not continue the topic. He glanced at the door and said seriously:

"Your mission may require a lot of investigations, which requires sufficient manpower. Well, the Soest team has completed the mission on the southern continent. I asked them to come back as soon as possible and follow your arrangements."

"Okay." Creste Cecima had no objection.

…………

"Rest for a day, then return to Backlund?" Leonard raised his head and looked at the team leader Soest.

Soest looked at him with pity after he had been silent for a long time, and nodded:

"right."

After watching the "spiritual witch" leave his room, Leonard sighed silently and leaned back against the wall.

At this moment, a deep red light suddenly surged out in front of his eyes, completely submerging him who was caught off guard.
