Mystery: Days and Nights of Struggle with the Research Society

Chapter 113 Whose genius’ idea is this?
Su Ya completed a complete prayer and listened carefully to the bishop's sermon before slowly getting up and walking towards the altar.He saluted the black-haired preacher standing in front of the altar, looked at the offering box next to him, casually grabbed a small stack of 10-pound banknotes from his arms and put them in.

The preaching bishop caught sight of this scene from the corner of his eye, and his expression softened involuntarily, and he was even a little surprised - Normally, unless you come to ask for donations or donate your estate after death, the donation box in the church can receive a large amount of money. It was only a few dozen pounds, and the wad of banknotes that Su Ya stuffed in was at least several hundred pounds.

Suya didn't care about the reaction of the preaching bishop. He raised his head and looked at the holy emblem belonging to the goddess of the night on the altar, with a complicated mood.

Since being promoted to the 'Disaster Priest' in Sequence 6, this was the first time that Suya was not harmed when he suddenly saw some pictures out of control, and the peaceful darkness that protected him was obviously The authority that belongs to the goddess of the night.

This also made Suya sure of one thing - the goddess of the night was indeed watching him.

Although Su Ya had expected this, Su Ya still felt very strange at this time.

The goddess of the night would actually watch and protect herself. This made Suya, who had joined the Tarot Society and was planning to join the Aurora Society, a non-staff night watcher of the Church of the Night, and a part-time follower of the Fool and a favored one of the true Creator, his eyes wandered. A strange feeling of guilt arose in my heart.

Ahem. Praise the goddess.

Su Ya silently tapped her chest four times clockwise and drew a crimson moon to express her gratitude to the goddess.

"May the goddess bless you, Mr. Viscount." A familiar voice with gentleness and majesty sounded from behind Suya. Suya turned around and happened to see the saint wearing a black and red archbishop's robe, with an unruly face and deep eyes. Archbishop Anthony.

"Good day, Your Excellency, Archbishop." Su Ya bowed slightly. Because he was in the large prayer hall, he did not wear a hat, so he simply saluted to show his respect. "You should just call me by my name."

"Suya, why did you come to the prayer hall at this time? Today is not a day for mass, and the morning is not the usual prayer time for night watchers." Archbishop St. Anthony nodded gently to the preaching bishop and invited Suya to leave with him , asked with a smile.

Ah, so it turns out that the Mass at Night Church is not on Saturday?Did I remember it wrong?That's right. The normal time for religious mass should be on Sunday. Alas, it seems that I need to read "Revelation of the Night" carefully after I go back to avoid making such stupid mistakes again.

Su Ya was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. He smiled, tapped his chest four times clockwise and said: "I think there is no fixed time for praying to the goddess. We should always remember it. Praise the Goddess, no matter the time.”

"You're right." Archbishop St. Anthony looked at Su Ya with great admiration, and his expression looked a little pleased.

"Little Suya, you have indeed grown up. You have been able to understand the kindness and greatness of the goddess. You are no longer like you were when you were a child." The archbishop suddenly changed his tone of voice and reached out to pat Suya gently. on his shoulder, he warned in the tone of an elder:

"Attil will be back in a few days. You can learn more from him. Don't be like Claude." Archbishop St. Anthony said the following words a little vaguely. Su Ya could not hear clearly, but he One after another doubts could not help but arise in my heart.

As a child?What happened to Surya Auchinleck when she was a child?However, it does sound a bit strange. Obviously the whole family is known as a believer of the goddess of the night. His brother Artiel even directly joined the Church of the Night and became a senior deacon. However, there is almost nothing about the night in the memory of the original Surya Auchinleck. Traces of church scriptures or related knowledge.

It feels less pious than mine. Are the Auchinlecks really devout believers in the goddess of the night?

Su Ya frowned slightly and remembered the name spoken by Archbishop St. Anthony again.

Claude. This is the name of the cheap Earl of Auchinleck. The archbishop asked me not to learn it from him. Does this mean that there is something wrong with this Earl of Ahova?

But the archbishop said that Atil is coming back, which is good news. I have to take the opportunity to get closer to Atil and find a way to find out the people around Atil - although he has already determined that the person I met that day is It's fake, but if you don't know Adil very well, it's impossible to act like him to the point where he almost admits his mistake.

Suya was thinking, while listening to Archbishop St. Anthony's instructions, he walked out with him from the exit passage on the side of the prayer hall, and walked around to the library not far from the spiral staircase.There are large bookshelves here one after another, filled with various classics related to the Church of the Night Goddess, and tables and chairs are arranged on both sides for the priests and bishops to study and preach to believers.

Su Ya was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she had just casually responded to Archbishop Anthony, saying that he wanted to read more books related to the goddess, enrich his knowledge in this area, and listen to the teachings of the goddess, so the archbishop happily took him with him. Come over and even want to explain it to him in person.

"Your Excellency, Archbishop, just let me read here by myself." Su Ya persuaded with a bit of laughter and tears, "Although I believe in the goddess devoutly now, in the past many years, I have never calmed down to read the goddess seriously. I just want to read it carefully by myself now, so I won’t bother you anymore.”

As the general person in charge of the Church of the Goddess of the Night in Backlund, Archbishop Saint Anthony must be very busy with his work, and to have such a saint explain the Holy Scriptures to himself, this must be the treatment of kings and important nobles, right?Su Ya felt that she was not big enough to accept it with peace of mind.

"It's not too late to listen to the goddess's teachings from now on." Archbishop St. Anthony smiled with relief. He took out a "Revelation of the Night" that was somewhat different from other books from his arms and handed it to Su Ya. "This holy book is slightly different from those circulated outside. You can start reading it here."

With that said, he looked at the time, said goodbye to Su Ya, turned around and left the library, leaving Su Ya who was finally relieved.

His Excellency Archbishop St. Anthony was too enthusiastic today. Su Ya let out a breath, found a table and sat down, picked up the "Apocalypse of the Night" that looked older but also had a more ancient majesty and started reading. .

Well. Although this was not his original purpose, now that he has spoken out his words, he should just sit here honestly for a while and "listen to the goddess's teachings" before leaving.

The "Apocalypse of the Night", as the sacred text used by the goddess of the night for preaching, has obviously been revised several times in different periods. The "Apocalypse of the Night" given to him by Archbishop St. Anthony is obviously the same as in recent years. The ones widely used in Backlund differ.This is not surprising. After all, the goddess of night is the oldest among the seven gods. She also comes from the old era before the first era. It is obvious that the holy scriptures must keep pace with the times according to the development of the times. Reason, praise the goddess, praise your foresight.

Su Ya explained silently in his heart, while carefully opening the yellowed title page of this holy book.

On the title page, there is a line of ancient Hermetic text with a beautiful font and a gentle feeling that makes the body and mind comfortable:
'Light is the meaning of everything. '

This line of font has no signature and does not seem to have the atmosphere of occultism. Su Ya's spiritual intuition did not give him any warning. However, when this line of font appeared in Su Ya's eyes, he couldn't help but feel vigilant. Emotions subconsciously pushed this "Apocalypse of the Night" a little further away.

——If it weren’t for the fact that this holy book was handed over to him by Archbishop St. Anthony, and it was still inside St. Samuel’s Cathedral, I’m afraid he would have suspected that he had met a liar.

This is the holy scripture of the goddess of the night!Rather than the eternal blazing sun!The power of the goddess is the night!Not light!Who would write the words "Light is the meaning of everything" on the title page of the Holy Book of the Night Goddess, "Apocalypse of the Night"!If the fanatical believers of the goddess find out, he will probably be taken to the Inquisition, okay?

Su Ya felt that his brain was running out. If he hadn't felt the goddess's gaze in the large prayer hall just now, he would have suspected that someone was impersonating the Archbishop of St. Anthony just now. What was the Archbishop thinking? what? !Why give him such a thing?

Or is it that this book was not given to him by Archbishop St. Anthony, but that it belongs to someone else?
Su Ya stared at the book with a wry smile on his face. He felt as if he had entered a trap, and it was so tight that he couldn't get out.

So the question is, does he want to continue reading this "Apocalypse of the Night"?

Su Ya sighed softly, feeling that his spiritual intuition was motionless and calm as if dead, so he had no choice but to pick up the somewhat yellowed book and put it into the inner pocket of his windbreaker - St. Samuel's Church Collection There were too many devout goddess believers in the room, so he had better take it back to find time to watch slowly, lest he accidentally show any disrespectful expression towards the goddess and be attacked by other believers.

When Su Ya took his hand out of his pocket, he came across a letter. He then remembered that he had come to St. Samuel's Church today for another purpose: to send this letter to Klein, but he had just met Mrs. I was so busy that I almost forgot about it.

My memory is really not very good.Su Ya shook his head and stood up, preparing to go to the Nighthawks headquarters behind the church to ask Simon for help in sending the letter.

And as soon as he stepped onto the first floor of the Nighthawks Headquarters, he saw Sesima coming up from downstairs with a solemn face.

"Your Excellency Sesima? Have you finished talking to the person from the Heart of Machinery?" Suya was a little surprised.

"Deacon Ikanser of the Heart of Machinery has left. This matter is not that simple." Sesima sat on the sofa and pinched her forehead helplessly as she explained.

"A demigod suspected to be from the Feysac Empire suddenly appeared in Backlund. This matter cannot be solved by the Nighthawks and the Heart of Machinery. The Punisher and Loen officials need to be informed."

"I discussed it with Deacon Ikanser and let the Church of Steam communicate with the Loen royal family. Their archbishop has a good relationship with the royal family."

"And our Church of Night." At this point, Sesima pinched her forehead hard and said in a very painful tone, "We are responsible for notifying the Church of Storms, and then we are also responsible for communicating with the punisher. Cooperate there and conduct a comprehensive search for Backlund."

"Uh, are you cooperating with the punisher?" Su Ya paused for a moment, and finally understood why Lord Sesima looked like this now.

Possibly due to the influence of magic potions and high-level people, most of the punishers under the Lord of Storms are grumpy old men who worship power and authority and are not cautious and careful enough. These punishers are obviously Inheriting the violent temperament of the Church of Storms that always strikes at the slightest disagreement, it can only be said that it is quite incompatible with the working style of the Nighthawks of the Church of the Night Goddess.

Most Nighthawks are not very willing to deal with the punishers of the Church of Storms, not because of what these punishers will do to the Nighthawks, but mainly because the teachings from the Church of Storms make these punishers often treat women and auxiliary sequences. The Extraordinaries lack respect, and there is no shortage of women and auxiliary Extraordinaries among the Nighthawks.
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency Sesima." Suya looked at Sesima with some pity, expressing deep sympathy for him.

In Backlund's Church of the Night, apart from Her Excellency Sesima, the Sword of the Goddess, the only ones currently qualified to cooperate as leaders and punishers are Archbishop Saint Anthony and another female bishop. .Obviously, this job must only fall on the hands of Senior Deacon Sesima, who is the top executive of the "Red Gloves" of the Nighthawk system.

"Huh? Who told you that I am the one responsible for cooperating with the Punisher?" Sesima put down the hand holding her forehead and gave Su Ya a strange look.

"Didn't I tell you? Atil will be back soon. If I remember correctly, it was the steam train this morning. It should be on the way by now." Sesima couldn't help showing her serious face. One seemed a little subtle to Su Ya, and seemed to have a smile of schadenfreude.

"When Atil comes back, the matter of cooperating with the Church of Storms will naturally be left to him."

Adil really dotes on his younger brother. He couldn't stay in Disi County as soon as he heard that Sulia had an accident. If the steam train hadn't left at night, he would have bought a ticket overnight and rushed back last night. But just in time, he came back It will be easier if you don't care about yourself - when dealing with those guys from the Church of Storms, warriors are more suitable.

What's more, Adil, who has received some aristocratic education, is more suitable as a leader. Well, just in time, Tingen's Nighthawks team sent a special application, and he just happened to be able to go there.
"Ah?" Su Ya stared at Sesima with her mouth raised, wondering if she had heard wrongly.

You asked Atil to be the leader to find the person suspected of being Atil?What genius came up with this idea?
