Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 142 Same person has different fate, it's like this
"Hello, Mr. Dunn."

Klein stretched out his hand to hold Dunn's hand. He was still smiling with his usual expression.

If it was the former Sherlock detective, Dunn might be able to recognize him at a glance.Because although he had used superficial makeup skills to disguise him before, he was still at least [-]% similar to his original appearance.

But after becoming a 'faceless man', he made minor adjustments to his facial contours—even his cheekbones changed, and he raised his cheekbones to make the overall image closer to Curly.The original black hair was dyed brown, and the brown eyes became dark black.This caused him to become only [-]% similar to the 'Sherlock Holmes' that was originally made up, and even his height was slightly adjusted by a few centimeters.

These changes are very subtle, and people who are not particularly familiar with them can't find the problem at all, and it just so happens that Klein has few acquaintances in Backlund.Most people can only vaguely discern some differences, but they can be easily fooled by Klein.

And now standing in front of Dunn, he is at most [-]% similar to the original 'Klein Moretti'!Although it still aroused Dunn's suspicion, it wasn't too surprising - because no matter how the other party interrogated him, there were two completely different people standing in front of him.

And this is already the second time they met, although the intervention of the Mercury Snake last time caused him to fail to recognize it.But it will also indirectly affect Dunn's judgment, giving him the illusion of 'I didn't recognize it last time, and I can't recognize it this time, so it must be an illusion'.

But the captain has a bad memory, so he may not be able to remember what I look like.Klein thought half-mockingly half-sarcastically in his heart.

"Dunn."

Ikanser sensed that something was wrong, and reminded him in a low voice, "We have to go."

"Feel sorry."

Dunn finally realized that it took him a long time to shake hands. He let go of his hand and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Detective Sherlock, you look very similar to a friend of mine."

"That's all right, Mr. Smith."

Klein nodded with a smile, behaved very appropriately, turned around naturally and prepared to continue the investigation.

"Detective Sherlock."

Dunn suddenly asked, "May I ask, which sequence path Extraordinary are you?"

Klein, who had his back turned to Dunn, looked a little astonished and surprised, but when he turned around, his expression returned to normal, and he said calmly:

"I am a fortune teller."

Dunn nodded silently, and didn't ask any more questions or say another word.

At the same time, the two detectives, Essinger and Kaslana, were also attracted by the movement here, and came over curiously.

Seeing that the three of them had arrived, Ikanser's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"The Nighthawks have come with that sealed item, we have to leave first."

"it is good."

Klein restrained his smile, nodded silently, and left with the members of Mechanical Heart.

Dunn looked at the back of them leaving, and thought of something, his expression suddenly softened a lot, and a smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, a group of Nighthawks wearing black wool overcoats trotted in. Their expressions were vigilant and vigilant, as if they were facing an extremely terrifying enemy.

Kick, kick, kick, a silver full-body armor walked in.

It feels extremely heavy, and all the details follow the ancient style, while the left shoulder slanted to the lower abdomen area, it is stained with a splash of dark red blood that cannot be cleaned, and it is combined with the sputtering red dots in the rest of the place. , forming a very enchanting and beautiful picture, like a unique and gorgeous decoration.

The people inside the armor seemed to be a little surprised by Dunn's expression, and said in confusion:
"Captain, what happened?"

"It's nothing."

Dunn suppressed his smile and said calmly, "I think of happy things."

Leonard still felt a little strange, but was interrupted just as he wanted to continue asking.

"Stop touching, change!"

The red-gloved team leader Soest took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Leonard, the bathroom in the master bedroom on the second floor has prepared hot water. Don't delay, otherwise you will have to Return to the embrace of the goddess."

The silver full body armor stopped, raised his hand and lifted the visor, revealing the wearer inside, it was a rather handsome man with black hair and blue eyes.The surrounding Nighthawks immediately stepped forward to help Leonard take off the heavy blood-stained armor as quickly as possible.

And he didn't hesitate at all, he went straight to the second floor, found the bathtub that was still steaming with white mist, quickly took off his clothes and lay down in the hot water without even showing his nose.
-
"Shouldn't you recognize it?"

Klein, who had already left a long way, was walking on the street, thinking with some guilt.

There are only [-]% similarities left, so you can still recognize them?No way no way?
"I've become like this, how could I still recognize it? I definitely didn't recognize it!"

Klein went from self-doubt to self-comfort to firm belief. That's right, he definitely didn't recognize it!This is not something he should worry about. The most important thing for him now is to go to the police station and get back his 50 pounds bail!
From Hall's luxurious villa to the manor, it took an hour on the road alone.After they arrived at the manor, it took several hours for the tailor to measure various body data and select styles.

By the time all this was over and the lunch hour had passed, they could only have lunch at the manor.But even if the Hall family's manor is uninhabited, the servants and chefs equipped in it are all of the highest standard, so the taste is naturally impeccable.

Although this is Alfred's manor, when Alfred was not in Backlund, Hibbert had always helped him manage the manor.So for the servants of the manor, Hibbert is also half the master here.As for the arrival of the master, they certainly did not dare to neglect, and immediately got busy.

When Ember and the others came to the restaurant, they smelled a tangy aroma.The long tables in the restaurant are filled with all kinds of delicacies, such as pan-fried foie gras, grilled steak, grilled chicken, fried sole, Dixie oysters, stewed lamb, creamy soup... nothing compares to the royal family's dinner. Not inferior.

There were also bottles of Misty Champagne, Almere and South Wales reds, alluring in the sun.The servants know Hibbert's taste, he prefers misty champagne, and various styles of wine and drinks are prepared for Ember, the guest.

While eating lunch, Ember glanced at a passing servant, and suddenly asked meaningfully:

"Are there any other Beyonders in the manor?"

"You see it?"

Hibbert, who was cutting the steak, raised his head in surprise. He nodded without denying it and said, "Don't worry, the Beyonders in the manor are all trained by the Hall family."

He stuffed a small piece of steak into his mouth, and said slowly after he finished chewing, "It's no secret, most nobles will keep some guards in the manor, which is completely legal according to the law. Of course, it is not legal to cultivate Extraordinary, the royal family only allows us to cultivate Extraordinary in the 'lawyer' and 'arbitrator' pathway."

"However, you also know that once things like unspoken rules are released, it is difficult to be strictly restricted. The formula of potion was originally sold to us by the royal family. Even if we secretly cultivate extraordinary people in other ways, the royal family will not really say What, this is a tacit agreement reached between the two parties in secret."

"For the royal family, they can justifiably collect more 'taxes'. For the nobles, having Extraordinary people as guards can also make them more at ease. After all, the church usually sends official Extraordinary people to the nobles to provide protection, but This is obviously far from enough. Just like the Extraordinary sent by the Church of Evernight to protect the Hall family, there is only one Nighthawk squad in total."

"Well, I'm not complaining. After all, the Church needs to maintain the order of the entire Loen Kingdom. Their number of Nighthawks is very limited. It's normal that it's difficult to provide us with enough guards. But also because of this, the Church actually acquiesced to the nobles Cultivate extraordinary people. Of course, the premise is that there will be no trouble, otherwise we will have to pay a large fine for it, you know."

Hibbert shrugged. The chaos he was talking about was actually the Extraordinary out of control.Since nobles want to cultivate extraordinary people, they must also bear the risk of losing control that extraordinary people may have.It would be best if they could solve the out-of-control problem by themselves, but if they couldn't solve it and alarmed the Extraordinary of the church, then it was only natural to pay a price for it.

Ember looked thoughtful, "Is there no nobleman who joins the Nighthawks? Or the Mechanical Heart and Punisher?"

"Have."

Hibbert nodded, and said helplessly, "In fact, my father originally wanted Alfred to join the Church of Evernight and become a Nighthawk. But Alfred was more eager to make contributions, and finally chose to join the military."

After a pause, Hibbert lowered his voice and said, "In fact, this is also the destination of most noble children. In terms of attracting noble children, the royal family has always been the strongest. If you want to make achievements, go to the military. You can also go to MI[-] for more secret-related Extraordinary fields. For example, Duke Negan, "

Hibbert paused, then continued, "He is the noble who owns the most land besides the king, and he is also a believer of the Church of Storms, so there are Extraordinary people sent by the Church of Storms among his guards, and one of them is even a Sequence 6 wind warrior." Blessed! But that is not the strongest among the guards, the strongest is Duke Negan's secretary, a Sequence 5 Extraordinary! If he can go one step further, he will be in the realm of half-human, half-god!"

"This Extraordinary was completely cultivated by Duke Negan's family, and he is completely loyal to them. I heard that Duke Negan is looking for a Sequence 4 potion formula, which should be prepared for him."

There was an undisguised look of envy in Hibbert's eyes. After all, it was a Sequence 5, and it was one step away from becoming a half-human, half-god Sequence 4!

After all, although Backlund is very safe, the three major churches have saint-level archbishops sitting in command, so the possibility of turmoil is unlikely.But once they are attacked or even assassinated, the nobles still have to rely on these guards instead of the three major churches to save their lives!
At this point, why not the royal family?Isn't the military, MI[-], and the Extraordinary secretly cultivated by the royal family their 'guards'?It's just that the scale of the royal family is much larger than that of the nobles, that's all.

Although it sounds logical, Ember looked at Hibbert suspiciously, and said strangely:

"I remember you didn't say that before, did you?"

Hibbert looked embarrassed, smiled wryly and said:
"Well, I admit, I was frightened. Did you participate in the joint operation more than a month ago?"

Facing Hibbert's question, Ember nodded slightly.

Hibbert swallowed the roasted mushrooms and said bitterly:

"That time was a joint operation between the royal family and the three major churches, but we nobles didn't hear about it at all. We didn't even know that Backlund still had such a cult organization's Extraordinary lurking! And one of the cults was raided by the Nighthawks The organization base is located in Queens, less than a kilometer from our home!"

Before that, Hibbert was still a little hesitant about becoming a Extraordinary.But this 'cleansing' did teach him a lesson.Backlund, which he thought was very safe, also had countless unknown dangers lurking!
This undoubtedly made the nobles and rich men in Backlund feel scared, and they all increased the number of guards by coincidence.Hibbert originally only planned to train three or five Extraordinary beings of his own.But after that incident, there were no less than ten Beyonders raised in this manor alone! ——And the Hall family doesn't just own this manor.

As for the cost of cultivating Extraordinary?You must know that even for Audrey, the property she can get when she becomes an adult is more than 30 gold pounds.And as the heir, Hibbert can get more. Compared with their safety, the cost of cultivating a dozen Extraordinary is nothing to them!
At this moment, Hibbert heard the sound of woo la.

He subconsciously looked out the window, only to see that the darkness in the mid-air was blown away by the strong wind, and the thin yellowish mist after the rain was swept away.The branches without leaves swayed, and the strong wind dragged out an obvious trail, heading straight to the southeast.After a few seconds, everything returned to normal, calm as before.

"It's hard to see such a strong wind in Backlund in winter, at least I don't have any impression." Hibbert looked outside the carriage, frowning slightly.

Ember also raised her head to look out the window, but after a while, she lowered her head and stuffed a small piece of foie gras into her mouth, saying unhurriedly:

"It should be a Extraordinary from the Church of the Storm."

"The Church of the Storm?"

Hibbert was surprised, and asked curiously, "Which Wind Blessed One is this?"

He only knew the names of the low-order potions in the 'Sailor' pathway, but he didn't know what abilities they had.He just felt that the strong wind outside seemed very similar to the 'Wind Blessed One', that's why he asked this question.

"Do not."

Ember shook her head slightly, and said slowly, "This is at least a demigod."

Hibbert was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed slightly.

There is only one of the three major churches in the name of Backlund's demigod, and that is the archbishop of each major church!Although Hibbert is not a believer of the Church of Storms, he also knows that the Archbishop of the Church of Storms is the singer of God, Ace Snake!

Could it be the joint action of the three major churches like last time?Hibbert subconsciously glanced at Ember, but Ember didn't seem to know about it either.But can it be such a trivial matter for a demigod to personally pursue the enemy in broad daylight?

In other words, there is a high probability that this time it is an emergency, and the ones who can be hunted down by demigods are at least Sequence 5 Beyonders.

Ember withdrew her gaze from the window, and said, "Don't worry, the wind is heading towards the east area and the dock area."

Hibbert shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile:
"Using the words of Great Emperor Roselle, now is the troubled time!"

As the earl's heir, he always thought that he was extremely well-informed.But right now, something happened one after another in Backlund that completely exceeded his expectations, which made Hibbert feel a strong sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart.

It has nothing to do with them now, so there is no need to worry, but what should I do if trouble comes to my door in the future?

……

"Catch, you must catch the living ones, or, the spirit body..."

"I want to know who it is!"

In the courtyard of a luxurious villa not far from the Holy Wind Cathedral in Jorwood District, Duke Negan, who had just escaped from the room, was panting violently, and the expression on his face became somewhat terrified of being assassinated. distortion.

He really didn't expect that after Qilingus last time, he would be assassinated again!

The wind favored person who was in charge of protecting him did not reply, but looked around vigilantly.In just a few seconds, members of the Duke's guard arrived at the same time, surrounding the Duke for protection.

Whether it is the Duke or the Wind Blessed, their expressions are vigilant but not nervous.Because this is near the Holy Wind Cathedral, the Duke has already blew the whistle for help.As long as His Excellency the Song of Gods arrives, everything will be fine!
However, as time passed, one second, two seconds, three seconds... Duke Negan's expression suddenly became a little panicked:

"Why hasn't the Archbishop come yet?"

"Maybe, maybe..."

The wind-blessed person's nerves were tense to the extreme, hesitating and unable to speak.

But how could the Duke not guess that the archbishop is probably not in the Holy Wind Cathedral at all!His act of arranging his mistress in the Holy Wind Cathedral was precisely to harm himself!
suddenly--

"boom!"

A female corpse with a good figure and glamorous face jumped down from the second floor and landed in front of them.

"Go! Get out of here!"

Duke Negan's expression became extremely frightened, and the weak man instinctively yelled.

However, in the next second, Duke Negan's frightened emotions exploded, went straight to his brain, penetrated into the blood vessels, and covered the nerves.He heard the sound of something breaking, and felt a warmth in the back of his head.

He died, without accident, killed by his own fear.

The leader of the Conservative Party, the largest landed nobleman other than the king, the elder brother of the current Prime Minister, a Sequence 6 Extraordinary, a real big shot, Duke Palasnigan just died like this.
