It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

"He's back."

The old man's words interrupted Hyde's train of thought, and the latter was slightly taken aback.

"what are you saying?"

"Saint Norbert has returned. More than one person has seen him. The apostle of God has returned to the wilderness again. He will save us all!"

The air became still, and the scorching light slanted down from the thick clouds, watering the land of Aphra.

-

Hyde said goodbye to the old man after asking for a few more details.

To be honest, he was somewhat dismissive of this statement. Unlike his appearance, he was not a child, and he would not casually believe every word of the fanatic in front of him.

If Howard Youssef said the man was dead, he must be dead.He didn't think anyone was strong enough to easily deceive the ex-executive.Compared with illusory teachings and legends, Hyde is still more willing to believe in Professor Kraft, the evidence he has investigated and relatively reasonable reasoning.

But on the other hand, if there is really a "Nobold Williams" in the wilderness, then his true identity is a bit intriguing.

Chapter 55 Idealist

"How's it going?"

When Hyde returned to the bar lobby, Ling had relocated Ayla on the soil bed behind the curtain and placed multiple protections.

Hyde opened the curtain and looked back and around. Only the taciturn Fiennes was in the hall now. The other members of the mission were busy purchasing or resting on their own.

For the sake of safety, he lowered his voice slightly and said:

"I can't say how many useful gains have been obtained, but at least the next direction is clear... Where is the envoy?"

Ling spent a little time thinking about it. She had spent most of her thoughts on Ella, so she was not so clear about other details.

"Schiff came back just now. He said that Lucien had already negotiated the price of the supplies with the mercenary leader, but it should take a few days to get the container."

"Fitili and the others haven't come back yet, but Enoch's agent in this town has noticed our actions a long time ago. He secretly tried Lucien's identity, and it doesn't look like he's pretending. "

"What did Miss Fittilly and Miss Victoria go? Didn't the two of them go to investigate the town's agent? Why did the other party's agent find us first?"

Hyde was a little sullen but helpless.

-

It wasn't until dusk that Fitili and Victoria reappeared in Afula town.

"Where did you go?"

With a cold face, Hyde looked at the pocket watch wrapped around his wrist.It has been more than seven hours since the envoy arrived in the town of Afra. Let alone testing the agent of the town, it is more than enough to go back and forth to his stronghold seven or eight times.

"I encountered a little trouble. Afra's agent knew me...He wanted to escape from the first time he saw me. It took us a lot of work to catch him back."

Fittili shrugged and dragged a chained man out from behind.It was a tall, thin, short-haired man in an inappropriately gorgeous evening dress. His skin and lips were bloodless and morbidly pale. His eyes were dull red, with pointed ears and fangs. He was a typical Dirty blood.

"Does he know you?"

"Yes, Mael and I also belong to the Toledo clan, so he still remembers my scent."

A feeble voice came from below.

"Abigail, I really didn't expect that you would dare to go back to Nod and bring so many human wizards with you."

Maher lowered his head in frustration, as if he had suffered great humiliation.

"Killing me won't do you any good, but if you do, the queen will never let you go."

Victoria tightened the chain slightly, which made the former whimper uncontrollably.

It was only then that Hyde noticed that this fragile and slender iron chain seemed to be generated by some kind of special magic power, and he smelled thick blood from it.As the iron chain tightened, it drew out a faint white smoke like a soldering iron.

This made Hyde couldn't help but take another look at Fittily. He didn't remember that the once very timid girl in front of him had mastered such a complicated black magic. It seems that during this period of time, Fittili learned from Ella's " Learned a lot from the Book of Nod.

"That's it. I don't know if I should tell him about us directly. This guy doesn't seem to listen to what people say."

Hyde took two steps forward and reached out to press the man's temple.

Mael's expression changed from contempt to fear of the unknown

"What are you doing!"

"Damn kid! I am Enoch's agent in Aphra!"

The other party's name made Hyde's mouth twitch. The fading magic power required him to have physical contact before he could confidently hint at a filthy vampire from the Thirteen Clan, and contact with the head was undoubtedly one of the most efficient parts. one.

"Shut up. All you have to do is nod or shake your head to answer my question."

In Maer's consciousness, the voice of the brat in front of him became distant and near, as if the whisper from the horizon appeared directly in his brain.His consciousness became a little blurry, and he nodded involuntarily.

Noticing that the other person's eyes were out of focus, Hyde breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you already know our whereabouts before we reached the town?"

Maer shook his head blankly.

"You don't know our identities?"

This question has been answered in the affirmative.

"Have any other nobles from Enoch passed through Aphra recently?"

This time the answer is no.

Hyde pinched his chin. From this point of view, Afra's agent really knew nothing about the mission.This may indicate that the disappearance of the shadow was not a pre-emptive move by the Enoch forces in order to gain a bargaining chip... No, it is more likely that Maer's level is not enough to understand this level of things.

"Miss Fittilly, go and inform Commander Lucien that they are coming back. All representatives need to be present to discuss this matter."

Fittili didn't say much, turned around and left the bar hall.The moment her eyes moved away, Hyde asked the last question vaguely in his consciousness.

"Fitili Hager...no, did Abigail Cain lie?"

The dirty blood girl's recent actions have become more and more weird. Unlike Ella, Hyde can't fully trust Fitili who lacks contractual constraints with him.What's more terrible is that when the shadow disappeared, Ella fell asleep, and his own strength declined to a dangerous level, Fitili and Victoria had become the most high-end combat power in the mission.

If something really went wrong with them, Hyde and Ling's chances of winning against them would only be half at most.

He stared nervously at the man bound by the rope, but Maer just sat there silently, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

This means that Fitili didn't lie, but he didn't finish his sentence either.

-

Victoria looked back at the bar that was slowly getting far away, and suddenly said:

"That boy, Hyde Belusay has begun to suspect you."

Feitili was stunned for a few seconds and smiled with a lonely expression.

"Of course...they are all smart people. But what I didn't expect was that Niels would leave such an arrangement, which is too arrogant. Although I haven't seen it directly, but that thing Definitely not a power he can grasp."

Victoria recalled the elegant but somewhat crazy young man who looked very similar to Fetili and replied:

"But it's like something he would do."

Fittili's expression became complicated, and he looked up at the intertwined rings of light under the thick clouds.

"Yeah, that's what Niels looks like."

Chapter 56 Voting

Lucien placed the paper report submitted by Hyde on the table, pondered for a few seconds and announced the start of the meeting.

He had already negotiated terms with Walkley, exchanging a large amount of food and fresh water at an incredibly cheap price. In addition, Lucien also ordered fifteen new batches of scaled horses in the wilderness for the envoy.

This horse-like creature has a half-inch-thick scaly cuticle growing all over its body. They have great strength and can eat anything, making them ideal means of transportation.Scale horses are one of the few wild creatures successfully domesticated by the Nods. Their natural lifespan is less than ten years, and the cuticle covering their whole body will grow inward and become thicker with age, until it kills them.

Lucien's performance in the first meeting with Walkley made the other party mistake them for a private army of nobles who came from the city of Enoch to perform special missions.This was a well-timed misunderstanding, and Lucien temporarily planned to let it continue like this.

After reading the report submitted by Hyde, Lucien proposed:

"I think we should reveal our identity to the agent."

Faminie obediently raised her left hand,

"But doesn't this completely contradict your previous approach, Your Excellency, Captain?"

"Based on the information Hyde has obtained, at least the nobles of Enoch City are not hostile to us on the surface."

"If the person who attacked Miss Shadow is indeed a secret blood party or an unknown third party, our rushing into the wilderness will only give them more opportunities to act."

Lucien smiled at her and explained.

Shiv also understood what he meant, nodded and added:

"On the other hand, if we reveal this matter to Enoch in advance, we only need to stick to Afra and wait for them to send a team to meet us. Compared with dealing with invisible enemies, it may be easier to confront them head-on. What's more, As long as Her Majesty the Queen has expectations for this contact, their people will naturally become our shield."

During this period of time, his impression of his elder brother has improved a lot, and this playboy is gradually returning to the genius appearance he remembered in his childhood.But this does not mean that Schiff thinks that he is suitable to be the heir of Mephisto. Inheriting a pure-blood family requires absolute power. Looking at it now, he is still more inclined to choose to support his younger brother.

"But there are also certain drawbacks."

Hyde stuffed a wine box under his buttocks, so that he could barely look at other people in height.

"Once we are nominally protected by Enoch, it will be difficult to move freely like now. At that time, we will only see what they want us to see."

"This is probably the reason why Captain Lucien wanted to act secretly before."

"I object to just waiting in Afra!"

Ling's clear and penetrating voice came from the left side of the long table.

"We should race against time now. The balance in Ella's body will be broken at any moment. The sooner we get to Enoch, the sooner we can deal with the pollution on her body."

Another voice followed.

"But this is making fun of the lives of all other members of the regiment. It will take at least two to three days to replenish supplies. No one knows what will happen if we continue on the road in the current state. Even Ella's safety may not be guaranteed. ensure."

Victoria was not originally a representative of the alliance in the mission, and she had no room to speak on such an occasion.But during this special period, she and Fetili had become one of the most powerful forces in the alliance, so no one chose to oppose this subtle change.
