Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 47 Am I Exposed?

Although Audrey's brain went down for a moment, as an audience, she quickly recovered and began to think about how to deal with the situation in front of her.

Fortunately, she racked her brains and finally thought of a way to break the situation.

There is only one way -

silence.

As long as she keeps silent, no one can get any useful information from her!

And in fact.

The Earl and his wife also saw their daughter's little thoughts, and looked at each other tacitly.

Instead of choosing to pierce, he decided to find another breakthrough.

"Ash."

The Countess looked at Ember kindly, and said with a smile, "I don't know if today's lunch suits your appetite. If you are not used to it, you can order the kitchen to make it again. Although they have never been to Cold Winter County, their cooking skills Pretty good."

"No, no need."

Ember put down the knife and fork and exclaimed, "The taste is very good."

"That's good."

The countess nodded with a smile, but then she suddenly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, I heard that you have only been here in Backlund not long ago. How is it? Did you find a decent job?"

"I am now a Nighthawk of the Church of Evernight."

Ember replied.

Audrey raised her head and looked at Ember in surprise.

Looking at their parents again, the Earl and his wife looked as usual.

obviously.

They already knew Ember was the Nighthawk.

But even if he knew this, was it really necessary to say it in front of her?

After all, I am just a noble lady who is ignorant of the world.

Or……

Audrey suddenly thought of a possibility, and silently lowered her head.

"What about the weekly salary?"

"A hundred pounds a week."

"A hundred pounds?"

The countess couldn't help being surprised when she heard this.

She just felt that the salary was a little high.

After all, even the Hall family can only earn hundreds of thousands of gold pounds every year.

Most of these incomes come from the land rent of the earl's territory and other commercial investments.

If you want to reach a weekly salary of 100 pounds for pure dead wages, this is already the top group of people in Backlund.

But the count's expression was somewhat different from that of the countess.

In addition to being surprised, there is also some disbelief.

Because he knows more than the countess!
He knew that Ember was a Nighthawk of the Church of Evernight, and he could find out this kind of information as long as he wanted to.

However, in terms of specific salary and benefits, it is difficult to know this information unless it is an insider.

But with a weekly salary of [-] pounds a week, the annual salary is [-] pounds!

More importantly, Nighthawks do not have to pay taxes, and there will be no discount for the [-] pounds.

Not to mention that as Nighthawks, they must have other ways to make money reasonably.

just.

According to the Earl's understanding of the Nighthawks of the Church of Evernight, the salary of the Nighthawks is usually related to three aspects.

Years of service, contribution to the church, and own job description.

According to the combination of these three aspects, the weekly salary of Sequence 9 is usually between 4-10 pounds.

The weekly salary of Sequence 8 is 10-20 pounds.

The weekly salary of Sequence 7 is 20-40 pounds.

As for the weekly salary of 100 pounds, it must at least be a treatment only for Sequence 6 Beyonders!

Doesn't that mean...

"Is he a Sequence 6 Extraordinary?"

The count was taken aback by his guess.

Sequence 6 itself is not surprising, and he is not an Extraordinary who has never seen Sequence 6.

But combined with the age of the embers, this looks a little scary!
After all, according to the report, Ember is only 17 years old this year!
Judging by the kingdom's standards for judging adults, he's not even an adult yet!
But according to Earl's common sense, it takes two or three years to go from Sequence 9 to Sequence Eight, three to five years from Sequence 8 to Sequence 7, and at least ten years from Sequence 7 to Sequence 6!

"No, it should just be Sequence 7!"

The count quickly denied his guess and took a deep breath to calm down.

The other party has a special status, and the weekly salary of 100 pounds probably includes additional subsidies or bonuses.

But even so.

The 17-year-old Sequence 7 is already exaggerated enough!
"A hundred pounds, that would be very nice."

The Countess didn't know what her husband was thinking, but she just nodded slightly and then asked, "Is this job hard? Is it very dangerous?"

"It's hard work."

Ember replied calmly, "My job is a flexible working system, and danger is inevitable. During the time I've been in Backlund alone, two extraordinary cases have occurred."

"The first time was a business trip to Tingen half a month ago, and the entire two teams of seven Nighthawks were almost wiped out."

"God bless you."

The Countess drew Crimson Moon on her chest with some fear, but then she became curious, "What about the other one?"

"Just this morning."

After being silent for a moment, Ember slowly said, "To be precise, last night, a nighthawk of Sequence 8 was brutally murdered in the living room of her house. There was a huge window in her abdomen, and her internal organs and spirit were all gone. disappeared."

Ember didn't hide it, because this case was going to be exposed sooner or later.

Especially as an earl, it would be easy for him to inquire about the details of this case.

What's more, the other party was still staying at the detective agency in the morning, so it should be clear where he went.

"Even Extraordinary people were brutally killed?"

The countess felt a little chills down her back, and she suddenly regretted asking about these things.

"in addition."

Ember paused, and continued, "If possible, Mrs. Caitlin and Miss Audrey try to avoid going out recently."

"Eh?"

Audrey, who had been bowing her head like an ostrich, raised her head in surprise.

"You mean, the criminal is likely to strike again?"

The count thought of a possibility and asked immediately.

"Correct."

Ember nodded slightly, and explained, "That criminal is most likely a cultist, and at least a Sequence 7 or higher Extraordinary, otherwise it would be impossible to kill a Sequence 8 Nighthawk easily."

"And no matter whether his purpose of killing is for vendetta or other purposes, as long as he hasn't left Backlund, he is very likely to commit another crime, because this kind of person can't help his own desire to kill."

"And if they do strike again, most likely it will be someone with the same attributes as the previous victim."

"Either it's a Nighthawk, or a young and beautiful woman."

These analyzes were not made by Ember, but by Al Hasson and the others.

The murderer has been identified as a member of the Blood Worship Sect or the Rose School of Thought, and his path is also likely to be the criminal path or the prisoner path.

And no matter which one of these two paths is, it drives them to become a fanatical murderer.

"Where is the incident?"

The earl's heart sank, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Hillston District."
