Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire
Chapter 49 Loyal ministers don't matter 2 masters, I only have 1 sun in my heart!
Chapter 49 Loyal ministers don't care about two masters, there is only one sun in my heart!
"Sure enough, it's the royal family again."
Ember understood it, and wasn't too surprised by it.
It's just that, although it has been guessed that the 'Black Emperor' is in the royal family.
But he couldn't identify who the specific target was, so he didn't take action until now.
Although his primary target of suspicion was the current King George III, he also thought about whether he should go to the palace to look for it first, maybe he could kill a BOSS directly.
But for the sake of safety, he once asked Archbishop Anthony about this matter.
But the archbishop's answer was categorical——
"It can never be George III."
"The seven righteous god churches have signed three major contracts with the royal families of various countries in ancient times. Every king will be bound by the three major contracts, and the highest can only reach Sequence 5."
"In other words, the 'Black Emperor' is an old antique from the royal family?"
Ember already had some guesses in her mind.
It's just that he can't determine the target yet, so he can only continue to collect information in order to avoid alarming the enemy.
Because this isn't a game after all.
The BOSS will not obediently stop in the BOSS room and wait for him to challenge again and again, unless he has a reason to stop there.
But in most cases, if he directly kills like a reckless man, the BOSS will probably run away because of scaring the snake.
Don't ask how he knows.
"dad."
Audrey saw that Ember's state was not right, and seemed to be lost in thought. In order to avoid being noticed by Earl Hall, Audrey had to change the topic in time.
"Who is the guard you arranged for me? Is it someone I know?"
Audrey was actually a little curious in her heart.
There are many servants in this villa, and she basically knows them all.
But she didn't know who were those hidden Extraordinary beings.
"Don't you just sit next to you?"
Earl Hall laughed dumbfounded, and joked, "Or, don't you want him to 'protect' you?"
"Eh?"
Audrey immediately realized what was going on.
"what?"
Ember also came back to her senses at this time, her eyes were dazed.
"Actually."
Earl Hall said seriously, "I hope that I can hire you, Ash, to be Audrey's bodyguard. You don't need to be personally protected at all times, and you only need to accompany her when she goes out to attend the banquet."
After a pause, Earl Hall said again, "After all, you happen to often attend banquets together, don't you?"
Earl Hall said and looked at his daughter teasingly.
"It's not impossible."
Ember pondered for two seconds, then nodded and said, "I don't have any objections."
Anyway, he is on a flexible working system, and how long he works every week depends entirely on his conscience.
Taking advantage of the free time of the flexible working system, it is not impossible to take on an extra private job.
"That's fine then."
Earl Hall smiled and said, "As for the salary, it's the same as your weekly salary. How about a hundred pounds a week?"
"You never asked my opinion at all!"
Audrey blushed, she clenched her fists and wanted to defend herself, but in the end she couldn't say a word.
One is because of shame, and the other is also because of guilt.
Her parents seemed to have misunderstood her relationship with Ember, but she couldn't explain it.
Could it be that she wants to say that she and Ember met at the Tarot Club?
Now the relationship between young men and women who are mistaken for mutual affection is relatively normal, which can cover up the existence of the Tarot Society.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Audrey could only comfort herself in the bottom of her heart, "At least in this way, I can meet Mr. Lover in a fair manner without being suspected...it's strange!"
"Isn't this really turning into meeting a 'lover'?"
"I, I'm full."
Audrey, who couldn't bear other people's eyes, lowered her head and got up and left the dining table, and left the restaurant as if fleeing without finishing her sentence.
"I'll go see her."
The countess looked at Audrey's fleeing back with some helplessness and doting, whispered to her husband, then smiled apologetically at Ember, turned around and chased after Audrey in the direction where Audrey left.
Earl Hall, on the other hand, looked normal, and asked with a smile, "Ash, how is it? Have you found a place to live now? Although I am also a believer in the night, it is always inconvenient to live in a church, my housekeeper." I can’t go to church to find you every time, can I?”
Earl Hall paused for a moment, then added with a smile, "If you haven't found a place to live yet, you can stay at my house temporarily. My house is quite big, and you can sleep next door to Audrey."
"No, no need."
Ember declined, "I've already found a place to live with some friends. The address is 117 Burningham Road, Hillston District."
"Hillston?"
Earl Hall was silent, did he live with his team members?
That's not surprising.
After all, as Viscount Ember, he couldn't even afford a house in Queens.
Even if you can't afford it, you can definitely afford to rent it.
After all, his salary alone is 5200 pounds a year, which must be more than enough to pay the rent.
But besides being a nobleman, he is still a Nighthawk after all.
Living alone in Queens is too ostentatious, but a middle-class area like Hillston is just right.
And living with the team members can also facilitate the usual missions.
At this moment, the butler suddenly came over and whispered something to the earl.
"Ash."
The earl waved the butler away, and then smiled apologetically at Ember, "I'm sorry, I have some minor matters to deal with at home, I think you can go to the previous reception room and wait for me for a while."
"Yes, Lord Hall."
Ember nodded slightly, without any doubt about it, turned around and walked towards the reception room led by the maid.
However, Earl Hall did not leave, but looked away after watching Ember's back disappear at the end of the corridor.
The smile on his face also subsided, becoming a little dignified and serious.
"So, is your target actually the royal family?"
"What did the royal family do to make the Church of Evernight investigate secretly?"
"What does it have to do with these two sequence pathways?"
Earl Hall's heart had already set off a turbulent sea at this time.
Even if my daughter deliberately changed the topic, but after decades of being in the aristocratic circle, my eyes are still sharp.
After he mentioned that the way of 'arbitrator and lawyer' came from the royal family, the expressions of his daughter and Ember changed.
Although the change in expression was subtle, he still keenly captured this detail.
He also realized that Ember and Audrey's contact might not be malicious, but they also had the purpose of secretly using her help to find out news about the royal family, and his daughter was dazzled by love, so he was afraid that he would try every means to help his lover.
This caused Earl Hall quite a headache, so he deliberately didn't point it out.
But since his daughter has already been involved, then the earl himself is bound to be forced to stand in line——
Either take the initiative to expose, or take the initiative to help Ember.
Either pretend that they don't know anything, or take the initiative to sever Audrey's connection with Ember.
The first two options were given up by Earl Hall without even thinking about it. The Hall family has been passed down to this day because they never stand in line casually.
Of the latter two possibilities, the last was also discarded.
He could not sever the connection between the two.
Not only because of my daughter, but also because of my belief——
He is a faithful follower of the goddess of the night.
"The goddess is more important than the king."
Earl Hall thought silently in his heart.
The king has only reigned for a few decades, but the goddess is an eternal god.
For the sake of the Hall family and his own beliefs, he still chose the goddess.
But before Ember took the initiative to speak, he would just pretend that he didn't know anything,
