The Night Adorer

Steel code city.

On the easternmost side of the transportation area, Gran street, known as the "great artery".

A member of the army, dressed in standard clothes and based on red and black, is maintaining order in the streets. They are loyal to the ancient nobles.

After the turmoil was crushed by the red saints from the war church, the whole city-state settled down again. The streets and urban areas that had fallen into chaos began to be taken over by the loyalists of the ancient nobles.

They arranged manpower to organize the "post disaster reconstruction" work.

Loyalists are like modern firefighters. Rescue and disaster relief are scattered among the collapsed urban ruins, searching for the lucky survivors, or turning over and rescuing the cold bodies, one by one sent to the incineration site outside the city for centralized cremation.

Unless a claimed relative takes the body away for burial, the primary goal after the disaster is to prevent the birth of the plague and cause secondary damage to the survivors.

A middle-aged man with ordinary appearance but red wine eyes is walking in the ruins of the urban area.

His eyes scanned around, but he didn't find a hunting believer. Suddenly, he guessed the reason.

As the hunting church that caused all disasters and chaos, it is also the loser of this dispute. Naturally, it should be punished.

I'm afraid all the hunting believers involved in the operation, as well as all the members of the pilgrims, have been kept in prison by the snow sacrifice church and the ancient nobles. Of course, they claim to be under investigation, and in order to maintain stability and not excessively stimulate the hunting church, more than half of them will be released for misdemeanors, and only the senior members responsible for taking the lead will be sentenced to heavy penalties.

However, in order to take care of the face of the hunting church, they will probably be sent back to the source tree city of the "rock knot tree region", where the Holy Church of the hunting church is located for internal judgment... People from other churches or ancient nobles are not qualified to judge them.

This is the current situation of the cold soil in the north, which is shaky and trying to maintain peace... Sulman sighed in his heart, and then he suddenly stopped and looked forward quietly.

In front of his eyes, a collapsed orphanage appeared in his view.

Originally, there were two floors, but the upper floor completely collapsed and was covered with dark green branches.

Half of the lower floor also collapsed, leaving only half of the hall supporting the building debris, deserted and dilapidated, just like ancient ruins.

In front of the iron fence, the middle-aged security guard who was originally on duty has disappeared, but in the open space in front of the iron gate, there is a body covered with white cloth. They are much smaller than adults. The shortest head is only Sulman's waist.

In front of the white cloth, there is a lovely girl with a round face. She is wearing overalls and her face is stained with dust. She is no longer clean and tidy. It seems that she has experienced a thrilling rush, and her body is full of fatigue and sadness.

Annie..... Sulman's heart moved. Following her eyes, she saw a large section of corpses whose heads were obviously higher than other bodies. From the outline, it seemed to be a young man, which made Sulman feel vaguely familiar.

This... This is a member of the steam team? Sulman guessed the identity of the victim. The next second, he saw Anne aware of the movement and turned to look at herself. Some red eyes were puzzled: "first... Sir, what's the matter with you?"

Sulman was slightly stunned. The next moment, he had thought of the reason: "I... I was entrusted by my friend to adopt a little boy. Hehe, he said that the little boy was very smart. As my stepson, he would certainly be able to handle a huge wealth."

"Friends? He, is he a particularly good-looking man? " Anne's face was slightly happy, and the sadness on her face faded a little.

Miss Anne, you should keep your head on the grave occasions, and don't make complaints about it. Surman is trying to get her face in a tight tangle, and pretend to be objective and calm.

After saying this, Sulman only felt a fever on his face and a sense of shame in his heart. There was a tendency of explosive growth.

"I'm sorry, your expectation can't be realized......" Anne looked at the white cloth on the ground next to her. Sulman followed her eyes and understood the other party's meaning. For a time, his heart was a little heavy, but before thinking about it, he heard Anne's inquiry:

"Sir, as a friend of Sulman, do you know about him?"

"Sulman is safe, but in view of the chaotic situation in Gangdian City, he has left the city-state for another civilized area."

"Indeed, as a bounty hunter... He won't always stay in one place, but suddenly he hasn't said hello to me yet..... Ah! I mean, as a friend, he should come and see me. " Annie was slightly lost, but she immediately realized something. She looked at the middle-aged gentleman opposite for help: "he, when he entrusted you to adopt, did he mention..."

"He asked me to stop by and see the loving and lovely Miss Anne. Um, are you Anne? I, I think you are very similar to his description... "Sulman was flawless and lied. At the same time, he felt a book in his arms, trembling faintly, as if reminding of its existence.

This... This is amused by my performance? Sulman's expression became stiff. At the same time, he realized that he had a "close audience" watching his wonderful performance.

"Ah! He... He's exaggerating. " Annie looked slightly drunk and bowed her head shyly. Then, a slightly confused voice gently came into Sulman's ear from under her head: "by the way, since you and Sulman are friends, can I take the liberty to ask, what's your opinion? I, I mean, if -- "

"This disaster was caused by man, but the force as the murderer did not receive due punishment."

"On the contrary, they put the fault on another object. The propaganda is done by an abominable secret organization, and... I know the truth, but I can't change it. I, I don't think this world should be like this!"

Sulman listened to her and grasped the truth in his heart——

Annie, as an investigator of the steam team, has the news channel of the steam church. Well, they have always been well informed.

It seems that she got new news. After the hunting church gave up its plan, the snow worship church and the ancient nobles calmed down the situation. However, in order not to lead to greater disputes, Gangdian city became the fuse of the two churches, so they blamed the cause of the disaster on the..... Prayer Church? Hiss, this... This prayer meeting is carrying the pot again? Sulman only felt sour teeth and wanted to laugh, but it was not suitable for the occasion.

At the same time, he also realized Anne's feelings and understood each other's confused emotions.

After all, in the mobile castle under the control of the steam church, steam believers receive education and are basically isolated from the world. Their outlook on life will have unimaginable impact on the outside world.

"If you can't change, it's a lack of ability." Sulman recalled how in his last life, when he failed in the exam, the middle school teacher fooled him and gave it to the girl in overalls according to the book:

"If you think about it carefully, if you are not an investigator at the middle and lower levels, but a deacon member, or even a saint."

"You have so much energy that others can't ignore. At that time, your ideas can change them and make the results come true according to your wishes... In the final analysis, as long as you are strong enough, you can change everything."

As long as you do well enough in the exam, even the teacher will take care of you... Sulman is quietly disgusting, educating confused girls? He will! As long as we instill a lot of inspirational chicken soup, let the other party have a long-term goal and keep working hard... When she is really strong, she has long forgotten this confused life. Where can she remember?

It's all routine!

As a victim of exam oriented education, Sulman faced the confused girl with a life mentor smile on his face.

"I... I see! Thank you, sir! "

Annie seemed to beat chicken blood and bowed deeply to him. Then, as she was about to leave the orphanage, she thought of important things again. Her tone trembled slightly and said, "yes... Yes, if you still have contact with Sulman, next time... Remember to ask... Hello for me next time!"

In response to her, it was Sulman's back with a slight wave of his hand as he turned and left.

................

73 Nancy street, townhouse.

Sulman stood in front of a relatively complete house that had not been greatly affected. His expression was slightly in a trance. It seemed that the familiar scene in front of him outlined many of his memories about the blonde girl.

However, as a mysterious side occupation of the second-order peak, Sulman's high mysterious attribute plus brings a good perception, so that he can feel that there are a pair of eyes watching him in the nearby grass.

Is this the manpower arranged by the ancient aristocracy? Yes, Scarlett attaches great importance to her friends. When such a serious thing happened, she must have arranged people to find her whereabouts. As the 'Arthur Doyle' house in front, it must be the focus of their monitoring.

Sulman did not open the door, nor did he contact the ancient aristocrats.

He doesn't intend to expose his identity. It's good to leave like this... As for the things left at home, Ibis is gone anyway. It's meaningless to take them with him. Talent is the most important - improving his strength and finding her as soon as possible is more meaningful than seeing things and thinking about feelings.

"It's time to leave..."

Sulman arranged his hat and turned away from Nancy street.

....................

In front of the transport ship on the Theil River, a black gauze woman quietly looked at the heavily armed people in front of her.

"Lord Selena, please don't try to escape and return to the 'rock knot tree field' with me." A young woman dressed as a hunter, wearing leather armor and long boots, with a serious expression, said solemnly to her former "boss" in front of her.

"I understand. You don't have to be so vigilant." Selena looked at them with no anger on her face. On the contrary, she, who was once the chief of the visitors and also the "black butterfly lady", gently mocked herself: "the first insurance measure is Jenkins, the runaway descendant of the Stuart family. Unfortunately, he died early in an accident, which is not enough to be the object of the fault..."

"The second insurance measure is the chief priest of the Diocese of Gangdian city and the chief of the pilgrims... Me, right?"

Selena seemed to say something that had nothing to do with herself. The next moment, under the vigilance and gaze of the public, she smiled gently, took the natural rope that imprisoned the power and handcuffed it. Then, she walked gracefully to the transport ship, as if to attend a banquet.

"Let's go... I hope the acquaintances on the bench can give me some face."

Selena whispered to herself. Suddenly, she seemed to feel something. She turned her head and glanced around the shore, but she didn't see the familiar characters in her impression. She looked back with some self mockery. The next moment, she turned and walked into the transport ship.

At the same time, on the shore, a middle-aged gentleman with vicissitudes of life and eyes like red wine quietly watched her back disappear on the ship. The next moment, he adjusted his top hat, turned and walked into the vast crowd.
