Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 315
Those who know know that Saint Anthony is a demigod, and one of the few demigods in Backlund—at least there are no more than five official demigods in Backlund.

Those who don't know, also know that St. Anthony is the Archbishop of St. Samuel's Church and the head of the entire Backlund Diocese.

In the entire area of ​​Backlund, all members of Church of Evernight are under his control.

It is no exaggeration to say that, to a certain extent, the influence and appeal of Archbishop St. Anthony is even higher than that of the royal family!

Councilor Macht was almost sure that once the Church of Evernight and the royal family clashed, most of the people would undoubtedly stand by the Church of Evernight without hesitation.After all, the royal family is just a ruler, and the Church of Evernight is a belief!

Under the great influence of the Church of Evernight, Archbishop St. Anthony's status is not to say equal to that of a king, but at least above that of a prince.

Councilor Macht's family is considered a devout Christian of the Night, but when they went to Saint Samuel Church to pray, they were only received by Bishop Elektra.As for Archbishop St. Anthony, only nobles above the Marquis or Duke are eligible to contact him!
Likewise, as the Bishop of Elektra visits their home regularly.The Archbishop of St. Anthony will also regularly visit those high-ranking nobles, and these nobles are either dukes or marquises, or they are like Earl Hall, although the title is not high, but the influence and status are enough to be equal to the duke noble!

But now, according to Bishop Electra, Ember is also a nobleman who is qualified to visit the Archbishop of St. Anthony. Doesn't that mean that his status and influence are equal to those of the Marquis and even the Duke?
Councilor Macht didn't dare to make it too obvious, but secretly looked at the embers on the side with his peripheral vision, and a storm arose in his heart:
"The title is only viscount, but it is comparable to marquis and duke. Either his family has strong economic strength like Earl Hall, with a total property of tens of millions of gold pounds."

"But this possibility is very unlikely. If this is the case, it is impossible for such a character not to be prominent in Backlund."

"Then there is only another possibility. The other party's family has been in high positions for generations!"

"Neither the House of Lords nor the House of Commons have heard of this person, and this Viscount Black is from Wintershire. This means that the other party's family holds a high position in the Church of Evernight, maybe a senior member of the Church of Evernight The deacons and even the archbishop are members of the family!"

Congressman Macht already had some guesses in his heart, but this guess did not surprise him, but worried him.

In all fairness, the status of members of the House of Commons is actually far inferior to that of nobles.

Most nobles are hereditary, and their descendants can naturally inherit the title of their parents.As long as no principled mistakes such as treason and treason are committed, this kind of succession can continue until the demise of the Loen Kingdom. It is a true rest with the country!

Similarly, most nobles can naturally obtain seats in the House of Lords, and such seats are almost hereditary.

The House of Commons is the exact opposite. The idea of ​​the upper and lower houses was originally proposed, in fact, to win over and appease those civilians who have certain property but no real status.

The House of Lords is responsible for making decisions on major national affairs, and the House of Commons is responsible for proposing bills, but has no decision-making power.In other words, the House of Commons is only responsible for putting forward opinions, and whether to adopt or not depends on how the nobles in the House of Lords think.

Unlike the hereditary House of Lords, the House of Commons is elected every five years.Many MPs serve only five-year terms because they are likely to outcompete others.

Of course, with the rise of George III, the king has been deliberately suppressing the House of Lords and nobles, and strengthening the power of the House of Commons.Anyone can see clearly that the king is worried that the power of the nobility is too great and threatens the royal family, so he hopes to use the House of Commons to check and balance the House of Lords.

But to put it bluntly, the House of Commons is just a tool.

Even if it seems that there is a chance to wrestle with the nobles of the House of Lords, this is only a temporary illusion.

Sure enough, with the sudden death of George III on New Year's Day, the new king George IV logically inherited the throne.

And perhaps it was because George IV was naturally close to the nobles, coupled with his young age and lack of political experience, or maybe it was because George IV had just registered, his foundation was unstable, and he urgently needed the support of the nobles.

All in all, the new king did not hesitate to ditch the House of Commons.He not only restored the authority of the House of Lords, but also promised huge benefits to the nobles, while in contrast, the House of Commons was suppressed and neglected.

Most of the members of the House of Commons who responded to George III's call and challenged the nobles face to face were liquidated.Macht, on the other hand, was able to survive this liquidation due to his background in the army and his close relationship with the nobility.

With the contacts he has accumulated, Congressman Macht is also confident that he can be re-elected in the election.And with his status as a member of the House of Commons, Mr. Macht has always felt that his status is comparable to that of a baron.

Therefore, Mr. Macht thinks that his daughter is married to a viscount, which is not considered high.Even if the viscount's situation is a little bit down, he might be able to help out a little bit, which is a mutual benefit.

But in the current situation, Viscount Blake is obviously not a down-and-out nobleman, but a powerful nobleman who can stand alongside the top nobles!
"I can't afford it!"

Councilor Macht sighed in his heart, looking at his surprised and curious daughter from the corner of his eye, feeling a little helpless in his heart.Right now, he only hopes that there is still time for everything, and that the brief exchange just now did not make Hazel fall in love with her.

While Councilor Macht was looking at Ember from the corner of his eye, Klein was also looking at Councilor Macht from the corner of his eye.

As a faceless person, although Klein doesn't have the ability to see into the heart of an 'audience', he can still see the change in Macht's attitude, and he can somewhat understand his concerns.But it doesn't matter, after all, their target was never Miss Hazel, but the demigod behind her.

At this moment, another voice came from behind them:
"Your Excellency the Bishop."

Klein turned around, only to find two young men walking towards them holding glasses of champagne.

One of them was wearing a black windbreaker, with black hair and green eyes. His hair was slightly long, and his hairstyle was seldom taken care of. He looked messy and unruly, but he had a strange sense of beauty.He looks pretty good, has a handsome appearance that can be on the cover of a magazine, comparable to a blood race, and has the temperament of a romantic poet.It was fellow poet, Leonard Mitchell!

And the other looks quite outstanding, with flaxen hair, dark brown eyes, a tall nose bridge and thin lips.

Mobet Zarathustra, this is also Klein's old acquaintance.It's just that at this time, he didn't wear the weird asymmetrical aesthetics of the Fourth Era, but wore a black double-breasted dress honestly, revealing his proud temperament naturally.

Klein resisted the urge to cover his face, why are they all acquaintances?

He and Congressman Macht were neighbors, so it was only natural that he came to this dinner.

But why are you two here?
Don't you live one in Pinster Street and the other in Pacefield Street?Although these two places are not far from Boklund Street, they are definitely not neighbors!Who were you invited by?
Klein subconsciously turned his attention to Bishop Elektra, and he was the only bishop who was the most suspicious right now.

Bishop Elektra really lived up to expectations, and introduced with a smile:
"let me introduce."

"Leonard Mitchell, Mobet Soros, both of them are devout believers of the goddess. Mr. Soros also came to Backlund from the south recently, maybe Mr. Dantès, you and him are still together know."

Klein raised his glass with a smile and said:
"Your Excellency, with all due respect, the south may not be as prosperous as Backlund, but it must be much bigger than Backlund. Not all people from the south are acquaintances."

Don't you just know each other?They also hunted giant dragons and pirate generals together, and even the start-up funds were obtained from the blood general.

But on this occasion, he would never admit it anyway.After all, Leonard was also there, so he didn't want to be suspected.

Of course, it's okay to be suspicious.Anyway, he didn't want to be detrimental to the Church of Evernight, and the poet classmate wouldn't be able to judge that he was Klein Moretti just because he was acquainted with Mobate.

Mobet also raised his glass to respond, and said with a smile:
"Then we have to have a good chat, where is Mr. Dantès from?"

"Dixie County." Klein responded with a smile.

"What a coincidence? I'm also from Disey County, but I spend most of my time in the Southern Continent."

"Oh? I did some business there, and I know something about the Southern Continent."

"Really? Then we have to have a good chat."

The two chatted very happily, and they walked away from the crowd without knowing it.

All the way to the corner where there was no one, Mobet asked with a surprised face:

"Why are you here?"

"I still want to ask you."

Klein asked back angrily, observed the crowd calmly, and replied:

"I am a neighbor of Councilor Macht."

Mobate took a sip of champagne, his eyes drifted away from the passing crowd, and he said:

"The Macht family attended mass at St. Samuel's Church last weekend."

"I happened to be there at the time, and Leonard was there."

"At that time, I found that Miss Hazel was a bit unusual, with a certain unique temperament."

"To be honest, I was deeply attracted by her, so I asked Bishop Elektra to bring me to the dinner."

What Mobet said was still cryptic, but Klein immediately heard his subtext——

Last weekend, Mr. Macht and his family were celebrating mass at St. Samuel's Church, and Mobet and Leonard happened to be there at the time.There is a high probability that the grandfather in Leonard's body has discovered the abnormality in Hazel. Not only is she a Beyonder of the Thief Path, but she may also have traces left by a high-sequence Beyonder on her body.

And it just so happens that Mobet needs to be promoted to Sequence 4, and still lacks a Sequence 4 Extraordinary characteristic.

As Mobate's ancestor, the grandfather in Leonard's body would definitely not be stingy in helping him.Even if this angel suffered heavy losses in Amon's hunt, it was not comparable to that of a demigod. Hunting down a demigod with a Thief path was not easy, at least it was easy to catch.

And Hazel, who was exposed under their noses, became a 'path' for the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 4.

It's just that the 'grandfather' at that time probably couldn't determine where the demigod was, so Leonard and Mobet were invited to the dinner together to make further determinations.

In other words, the purpose of both of them is actually the same.

The corners of Klein's eyes twitched slightly, he took a sip of pale golden champagne, and said:

"Then it's up to each other."

"Ok?"

Mobet raised his eyebrows, looked Klein up and down, and said in a slightly joking tone:

"I really didn't see it. You are so old, but you still have such thoughts?"

Klein glanced at him. He was asking him, a Beyonder of the Seer Path, why would he want the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 4 of the Stealer Path?Not to mention that these two paths are interchangeable, he can seamlessly switch to the thief path without worrying about the risk of losing control.

What's more, this demigod is not his target.

Klein shook his head and said:
"It's not me, it's him."

Mobet raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his eyes to Ember. Fang was talking happily with that Miss Hazel—more specifically, that Miss Hazel seemed to be very curious about Ember, and had been chasing him to ask questions. Asking questions, while Ember's attitude could not be said to be cold or impatient, but she still asked and answered questions, as if she didn't care about Miss Hazel.

He is interested in the demigod of the Thief path?Could it be that he is also the path of the thief?Is there such a coincidence?And the opponent's ability doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Thief Path, right?

Even if there is a connection, Ember is at least an angel above Sequence 2——

After all, there are only angels with Sequence 3 or higher who can hunt and kill the existence of Sequence 2 demigods of the Church of God of War in a short period of time.

And if the other party is already an angel, why do you need a copy of the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 4?
After exchanging pleasantries for a few minutes, Klein and Mobet separated.

Mobet walked towards Leonard who was watching the crowd alone in the corner, and the poet classmate also took the initiative to ask:

"Do you know?"

"That's it."

Mobet did not give a detailed answer directly, but said:

"Danttes' friends seem to be interested in Miss Hazel."

"Ok?"

Leonard looked at Ember thoughtfully. He knew that Ember was also a Nighthawk of the Church of Evernight, and his identity was mysterious.

Although it is not a red glove, the authority must be above the red glove.

It's not surprising that he is interested in that Sequence 4 demigod.

The question is, is he interested in bringing this demigod to justice, or is it for some purpose of his own?

Leonard lowered his voice, as if muttering to himself:

"Old man, what do you think?"

Leonard waited for a long time, but the slightly old voice in his mind never sounded.
