Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 48 So You Are A Lawyer, Too!
"Hillston? It's not too far from Queens."

The count frowned. The safest place in Backlund is undoubtedly the northern district, where the headquarters of the Church of Evernight is located.

The second is the Queens District and the West District, which are gathering areas for nobles and top wealthy businessmen.

Most of the Nighthawks will patrol here, and the law and order conditions are the best.

For example, Earl Hall's house even had a team of Nighthawks sent by the Church of Evernight to protect them.

So in general, no criminal would be so bold as to commit a crime here.

If they really want to kill, it's better to go to the East End-

It was the place with the worst law and order and the most lax supervision in Backlund.

They can even kill there without being detected.

But a Sequence 7 criminal, and a cult member who obviously has brain problems and dared to kill people in Hillston District, no one can guarantee whether they will take the risk and commit the same crime in Queens District.

So now the most dangerous.

Apart from the Nighthawks, it was a young and beautiful noble lady like Audrey.

"Audrey."

Earl Hall looked at his daughter.

"I see, Dad."

Audrey's expression also became a little serious, and she said seriously, "I will try to avoid going out these days."

"So much the better."

Earl Hall said earnestly, "Audrey, although you are already a Extraordinary, just a Sequence Nine is unable to gain enough power to protect yourself."

"really."

Audrey had already guessed the answer under Ember's reminder, she was slightly settled, and she just whispered, "Do you already know?"

"You took so many miraculous materials from the treasure house, do you still think that your father and I didn't notice?"

The Countess covered her mouth and smiled lightly. Sure enough, even after becoming a Extraordinary, Audrey was still her innocent and lovely little angel.

"Is that why you invited Mr. Lover?"

Audrey silently guessed in her heart.

Because of the recent frequent contact with Mr. Lover, Mom and Dad mistakenly thought that Mr. Lover gave her the formula for her own potion.

So they invited Mr. Lover to their home to test whether he has other plans?

Well.

At least from now on, their relationship seems to be quite harmonious. Has Mr. Lover passed the test?

Thinking of this, Audrey secretly glanced at Ember from the corner of her eye.

Ember's complexion was as usual, and there was nothing unusual about it, which made Audrey heave a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, Mr. Lover."

Audrey thought silently in her heart.

Her audience formula was not given by Ember, nor was Ember 'tricking' her into the path of a Beyonder.

But from the current point of view, Earl Hall obviously misunderstood something.

Earl Hall noticed the way Audrey looked at Ember quietly, and couldn't help but exchanged glances with Mrs. Caitlin.

They all saw the 'clear' in each other's eyes, and they both affirmed some kind of speculation.

"Women don't stay in college."

Earl Hall sighed softly in his heart, was he worried that he would hold Ember accountable?
If it was the beginning, he did have this idea.

But judging from the current situation, wouldn't he become a beating mandarin duck by doing so?
This can't be done, he doesn't want to be hated by his precious daughter as an enemy.

"Don't be too nervous."

Earl Hall said with a smile, "If you want to go to those banquets or salons, you can, but you can no longer go out alone, at least you need to be accompanied by other Extraordinary people for protection."

Audrey nodded silently.

She didn't actually go out alone before, there was the coachman and Annie.

But none of them are Extraordinary, so they are still 'alone'.

But bodyguards?
"dad."

Audrey asked strangely, "Are there many Extraordinary bodyguards in our family?"

"Not much."

Earl Hall pondered for two seconds before replying, "Only a dozen or so, and one of them is a team of Extraordinary from the Church of Evernight, a total of three people. Among the other Extraordinary, some are Extraordinary trained by the family, and the other are Pure employment relationship."

"But,"

Audrey glanced at Ember quietly, and whispered, "Are these wild Beyonders?"

Is it really okay for you to say that you have more than a dozen wild Beyonders in your family in front of an official Beyonder?

"do not worry."

Ember saw the girl's careful thinking, shook her head and said, "These are all tacitly approved. The nobles in Backlund will privately hire some Extraordinary people to protect their own safety. This is an unspoken rule that the church tacitly approves."

"It's not actually a tacit consent."

The countess interrupted, complaining, "For these extraordinary people, we have to donate a lot of gold pounds to the church every year."

Audrey opened her mouth, and her expression became strange.

The agreed official Extraordinary and the wild Extraordinary are irreconcilable?

So is there actually a hidden rule?

"Lord Hall."

Ember suddenly asked, "Can I ask which sequence path the Hall family uses to cultivate Extraordinary?"

Earl Hall was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "There is nothing to hide. The Hall family has two Beyonder sequence pathways, namely the arbitrator and the lawyer, but the highest is only up to Sequence 6."

After a pause, Earl Hall said helplessly, "It's a pity that you have already chosen your own path. The two sequential paths in my hand probably won't help you much."

"lawyer?"

Ember's eyes moved slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Audrey.

At this time, Miss Audrey also looked at Ember as if she felt something in her heart.

"dad."

Audrey considered the language and asked, "May I ask the source of these two sequence pathways?"

"The source is of course the royal family."

Earl Hall took it for granted, "Most nobles in the Loen Kingdom have these two sequence paths, and they all bought them from the royal family."

After a pause, Earl Hall smiled again, "This is also part of the rules, otherwise, even if the Church acquiesces in our private cultivation of Extraordinary, the royal family will not allow it."

He originally didn't want Audrey to touch these things.

But now that Audrey has become a Extraordinary, and they have already shown their cards.

Then it is necessary for Audrey to learn more about the secrets of the mysterious world, so that she can avoid detours.

In order to cultivate Extraordinary people privately without being held accountable by the church, they have to donate money to the church every year.

At the same time, the Church will also send a team of Nighthawks to the door.

It is not only to protect their safety, but also to supervise the Extraordinary they cultivate.

Like, to keep them from getting out of control or something.

And in order for the royal family to also acquiesce, this requires them to pay for potion formulas and materials from the royal family.

The royal family can use this to make money, and can also use this to monopolize mid-to-high-sequence potion formulas.

So the potion formulas sold by the royal family only reach Sequence 6.

And if the nobles want to continue to improve the Extraordinary they cultivate, they will have to pay a higher price.

Or let these Extraordinary people work for the royal family, using 'contribution' in exchange for potions.

So in the end.

In fact, this is just a transaction from beginning to end.
