The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

On the other hand, Ewenna wanted to go back to her home, those notebooks that were important to her and related to the grievances and entanglements of the "Dismemberer".Moreover, I also hope that Riber or Chris can introduce her to doctors or researchers who are related to the Knights and will participate in the case.

As for Alice, she followed Riber and went to the Church of Light to be baptized.

Although everyone was very busy during this time, Ed's family managed to find time to have a serious discussion the day before.

Ed originally didn't want Alice to be baptized by the Church of Light.Because, in his opinion, even if he wanted to obtain the power of these gods, the Church of Everything and the Adventurer's Guild were more reliable.

And Fern doesn't really want Alice to do this, because she only wants Alice to grow up normally.Perhaps, it was because of being tricked by a church with bad intentions, Fern didn't have a good impression of the church and the gods themselves.

But in the end, the two were persuaded by Alice.

Perhaps, Alice's reason for wanting to join the Church of Light is naive.Perhaps, Alice, who is still a child, does not have enough discernment ability to decide her own future path.Or maybe Alice will regret her current choice someday in the future.

But at least, at that moment, Alice was extremely determined.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, they did not interfere with the family's discussion, and did not even appear on the scene to disturb them, but Sebastian and Riber who eavesdropped through the door.One person quickly contacted the Church of Light in Greenwater City, asking them to show the Earl a face.And the other person brought Alice to sell this face.

In this way, this carriage was composed of strange, messy and chaotic people, driving silently on the streets of Greenwater.

The atmosphere on the carriage was actually very bad.

Chris kept staring at Evanna beside him with an indifferent and indifferent smile.On weekdays, Chris, who is quite talkative and likes to test the opponent's intelligence through words, did not say a word when facing Evanna.

It's not that the two triggered the bond between the protagonists of the original work or anything, it's just that Chris is still worried about Evanna's introduction of the real "dismemberer", which to some extent caused Dirk's murder.

As for Yiwenna, although she still had that fierce look on her face that would not show weakness to anyone, she couldn't help turning her face away, as if she had developed a strong interest in the surrounding scenery, she kept casting her gaze out of the window.

On this day, Chris began to wear maid clothes again.

Evanna, I really can't understand why this is...

On the other side, Riber, who was a little dizzy from the light of the protagonist, kept looking at the written materials related to the case file.

The more he looked at these materials, the more Riber felt that Chris' speculation was correct.

In the foggy night, there were two attacks on the knights, one on them, and one on the duo of strange thieves. They were not separate cases.There is a line connecting these in series.That is, the criminals who carried out these attacks may belong to an organization at the same time.

Moreover, judging from the fact that "Night Demon", "Dismemberer" and the three people who are supposed to be called "Flayer" participated in it.The members of this organization are most likely to be notorious serial killers who are active around Greenwater City.

It's... scary...

Riber cringed a little in his heart.

Even if he had "hands-on" captured "Night Demon", it did not mean that he was not afraid of these vicious criminals.

He thought that it would be enough for him to find out the real "dismemberer".Unexpectedly, there might be an organization behind the "Dismemberer".At that time, if the organization is not completely defeated, it will probably be impossible to escape...

In a sense, he really took the initiative to throw himself into danger.

After all, in the past, no matter how rampant criminals were in Greenwater City, he would hardly leave the mansion, so he must be safe.

The mansion is guaranteed to be guarded by two heavenly horses, not to mention impenetrable, but also difficult to attack.Moreover, he had no personal animosity with those criminals.In a city with a large population, the probability of being randomly selected is also very low.

But now, he wants to take the initiative to catch criminals and walk out of the mansion.So, everything will be different.

Riber felt that this could be regarded as his own habitual death.

However, he unexpectedly found that even though he knew that he would make his situation worse, he did not regret the decision he made earlier.

No matter how vicious the organization behind the "Dismemberer" is, so what?

After all, it's just calling the wind and rain around the city of Greenwater.

An organization with such a petty structure can't be more difficult than the Church of Scourge, right?

hehe... oh...

Speaking of which, Riber realized that he hadn't seen Black Crow and others who were "unemployed" with him in the Church of Scourge for a while.

If there is a way for them and the organization behind the "Dismemberer" to fight fire with fire, it should be regarded as an excellent development that has been dreamed of.

...

The slightly bumpy carriage brought Riber and others to the northern part of Greenwater City.

Unlike the other side who was still in a sinister atmosphere, Alice on Riber's side fell asleep leaning against him without knowing it.

On the one hand, after Alice knew that she could be baptized by the Church of Light, she was so excited that she didn't fall asleep all night.On the other hand, it was her habit of getting sleepy as soon as she got into the carriage.

Because he was leaned on one shoulder, it was not convenient for Riber to turn pages. He temporarily stopped reading the materials, but turned to the two people opposite him and raised a doubt that had been lingering in his heart for the past few days.

"Speaking of which, the 'Flayer' who attacked us and the 'Night Demon' who attacked Ewena and you, is it normal for them to display combat strength?"

"It's not normal." "It can't be normal, right?"

Chris and Ewenna responded at the same time, and they didn't know whether to say they had a tacit understanding or not.

The two stared at each other, and it was Chris who finally made a "you go first" gesture.

"He was across almost the entire passageway between us, and he closed the scissors lightly, and cut everything in front of him."

Ewenna said, the expression on her face was very ugly,

"The underground waterway that is collapsing now is just the result of his blow. I have only heard of this level of power in rumors."

Listening to Ewenna's words, Riber didn't think she had any reason to exaggerate.

So, even if he and Annie (mainly Annie) attacked each other when they caught the Night Demon.

But compared to that time, the "Night Demon" that Ewena and Lysa encountered had also been strengthened at the epic level.

"Although I don't know the specific situation, but based on destructive power alone, six-leaf level... no, some five-leaf level adventurers can do it too."

Chris said.

"A five-leaf level adventurer?"

"The number of 'leaves' is the way the Adventurer Guild evaluates the level of adventurers. The main body of the adventurer badge is like this."

Chris said, and took out a badge slightly larger than a finger from his pocket.The badge is made of copper, and a vertical branch-like thing is drawn in the center of the badge. There is a leaf on the left and right sides of the branch, but it is not symmetrical.

"The higher the level of the adventurer, the more leaves there will be in the badge pattern. In addition to the number of leaves, the material of the badge itself also represents the level of the adventurer. The badge of the former three-leaf adventurer is made of copper Yes, the last three leaves are silver, and the seven leaves and above are gold. However, generally no one can see the gold adventurer badge, because there are only three adventurers at the seven-leaf level in the world."

"I see."

Riber nodded.

This really adds useless knowledge,

"But why do you have an adventurer's badge?"

"Because I was an adventurer for a while... No, I haven't returned the badge yet, so I'm an active adventurer. Not only that, I'm a missionary in the Church of Everything."

"Oh? Adventurers and church members can also work part-time?"

"The Adventurer's Guild doesn't have clear regulations. After all, one of the important purposes of the Adventurer's Guild is 'freedom'. But the Church of Everything is stricter. However, I have nothing to do with it. Because even these two organizations , For the holders of the blessings of the gods, preferential treatment will also be given."

"..."

Did this person inadvertently say something extraordinary?

Riber looked at Chris "calmly".

Rather, this is almost showing off, right?

As expected of the leading actor, it's amazing.

I'm sorry for always slandering you in my heart before.

Is it too late to start apologizing now?Can I still be forgiven?

"In short, what I want to say is that among the countless adventurers, the five-leaf level adventurers are also the top ones. Because, in addition to the legendary three seven-leaf adventurers, there are only two adventurers in the six-leaf level. About ten. Also, although I have the 'level blessing' from the god of fraternity and the 'talent blessing' from the god of wisdom, when I met the 'Flayer' at that time, I didn't know the reason for these blessings failed."

Christ paused,

"Although I don't have many skills through the blessing of the gods, and the level is only less than thirty. However, if I can use these powers, I may not be as embarrassed as I am now."

Chris shook his injured arm and said,

"Miss Yiwenna, did something similar happen when you were attacked?"

"Um..."

Evanna hesitated for a moment, then continued,

"Lysa's power also failed at that time."

She has exposed that Lysa also has the blessings from the gods, but there is no way around it.

Although, "Phantom Thieves" is actually a gang composed of plural people.However, Lysa, who used to be one of the "strange thieves", can still leave all kinds of rumors in the kingdom and get away with it under the siege and interception of various forces, which is enough to prove her ability.

And even this kind of her, when she met the "Night Demon", she could only end up in such a miserable state...

"That is to say, what we are facing are criminals who have top-notch power in the entire kingdom, and even the mainland. Then, when we face criminals, our strength will be extremely weakened for unknown reasons."

Recalling that time, Riber, who also lost the power of his god's blessing, was a little stunned after stating the current situation they need to face now.

This... how to win?

"If there is any good news that is not good news, it is that judging from the strength gap between 'Night Demon' and 'Flayer', their inexplicable strength also has individual differences. And, even if 'Night Devil' Demon', the conditions for using power are probably very harsh. Otherwise, he would not be blocked by the knights in the underground waterway, but would make more radical moves, and even destroy the entire city."

Chris said, also sighed lightly,

"I just don't know what is the power that can strengthen these criminals, and the power that can temporarily invalidate the blessings of the gods..."

While listening to the words of Chris, who was rarely excited when encountering puzzles, but full of helplessness, Riber slowly cast his gaze out of the window.

In the sky, there are still six plot trigger points shining.

Today, there was no coincidence that he just discovered the trigger point of the plot, and the trigger point happened to be triggered.

However, the weird thick fog that rose around Nancheng District that day, and the strength displayed by the members of the serial killer organization are undoubtedly closely related to these trigger points.

So, those people used the power of the original plot... something like that?

Hmm...impossible.

Just when Riber shook his head slightly and looked back, he suddenly thought of something.

The title of the original work is "The Witch is Wailing".

However, things have been developing until now, and the elements of this witch can be said to be very few.

Is it possible that even in a magical world, these criminals such as "Night Devils" who are still unreasonably powerful to an incredible degree are actually using... the power of a witch?

...

For a while, although there is no basis, and no corresponding logic can be found.However, Riber still felt that he had found the correct answer inadvertently.

Volume II: Chapter 99, God of Light

Due to the successive major incidents in the foggy night, Riber originally thought that the city of Greenwater, which was under martial law, would be in a state of panic and inaccessibility.

After all, these days, his mansion seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds.Even with the lights on, the room was always dark.

When standing still, he sometimes even has the illusion that the sky is about to fall down.

But in fact, through the window of the carriage, Riber accidentally saw the scene on the street, which seemed to be no different from usual.

I don't know that the residents of Greenwater City have become accustomed to the rampage of criminals in the city.Or it is a kind of nature for people to become dull to the sense of crisis after they integrate into the "crowd".

Riber is more inclined to the latter, because he is now also a member of the "sluggish" crowd.

It wasn't until the carriage was about to arrive at the headquarters of the Knights that Riber saw some scenes that he couldn't see normally.

For example... There are probably three-digit black crowds besieging the entrance of the Knights headquarters.

"How is this going?"

Looking at the crowd who were either holding wooden signs, or throwing things, or bluntly shouting and cursing, Riber asked a little puzzled.

"Did you gather in front of the knight order headquarters today? It should be said that compared with the day of the award ceremony, the number of people seems to have increased a lot."

Chris also looked out the window and briefly explained,

"After all, the blood on the hands of the prisoners who escaped from the heavy prison should easily exceed a hundred. No matter what the reason is, this incident is a major negligence of the Knights. In addition, the Nancheng District The coma of the group, and the Knights had to stop the weekly relief food distribution. Therefore, it seems reasonable that some people would gather to protest."

Chris sighed softly.

"Perhaps, under such circumstances, the knight order's act of holding an award ceremony has somewhat angered these people..."

"How stupid."

Beside Chris, Evanna frowned and commented,

"They gather here, but more members of the Knights have to maintain order. Then who do they expect to catch those criminals?"
