Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 214 Knight
"How to deal with those gangs has never been a problem in the eyes of the Church of the God of War."

Miss Hall stroked the head of the golden retriever Susie while explaining to her, "A gang that is established without a detailed program and based solely on the passion of ordinary people is doomed to fail. They will not bring down the tyrants, but only want to make the former tyrants their slaves and make themselves the new tyrants."

"However, in the eyes of the church, ordinary people are just playing house no matter how much trouble they make unless they reach the level of demigod or angel. When their brutal system arouses the dissatisfaction of the people, the church will take action to reap the fruits of their victory. Whether to completely wipe out the gangs or leave some of the remnants in the darkness to do the dirty work in the future, it is up to them."

Miss Hall carried Susie to her seat so she could talk to her.

"But if that's the case, then there's no reason for the people of the Church of the God of War to give in. They have established order in the shadows by nurturing gangsters, so there's no reason for them to let an outsider take away the fruits of victory."

Susie vibrated the air in confusion. When the man and the dog began to communicate, Miss Hall gently modified Britton and Lolota's cognition so that the two would not notice the abnormality in the car.

Although Miss Hall is not a demigod of the audience channel, this mild cognitive modification can be achieved at the level of Sequence 5. Moreover, Britton and the other person are not in good condition, so the possibility of discovery is small.

"That's why I pretended to be my real self and informed Adele to tell her my name."

Miss Hall smiled smugly. "I am the daughter of Earl Hall. I am backed by the Conservative Party, which is currently in power in the Kingdom of Loen. My request represents the interests of the victorious country. If they want to refuse, they have to consider whether it is worth it."

"Don't forget, it doesn't matter who controls the gangs. What matters is order and the attitude of believers toward the church. If the gangs must be controlled by them all the time, they would not have allowed them to grow in the first place. In their eyes, the damage caused by the gangs is nothing compared to the pain caused by maintaining order."

When Miss Hall said this, her eyes gradually became a little melancholy.

"Let me give you a simple example. Beyonders in the Sailor Path can dive to the bottom of the water for tens of meters. However, during the ascent, they must stop at certain intervals and move at the same depth to allow their bodies to adapt to the sudden reduction in pressure. Otherwise, they will suffer from severe lung disease."

"The Ares Church used a similar method to guide the post-war economic reconstruction. They first allowed a gang to grow bigger and put the people under a lower level of oppression. When people became dissatisfied with the gang, the church would then wipe out the gang and lead them to the surface."

"It sounds so complicated..." Susie shook her head. "Anyway, if we take control of the gang there, nothing bad will happen, right?"

"In a world with extraordinary abilities, who can say for sure about such things..."

Miss Hall's eyes gradually drooped, as if she was thinking about something.

"I'm afraid Miss Audrey's original purpose in creating you was not to allow you to return to the extraordinary world..."

Susie whispered, but Miss Hall stopped her from saying anything more with her eyes.

"I know, Susie, I know." Miss Hall gently hugged Susie and put her fair and smooth forehead against Susie's forehead. "But the Tarot Club's 'justice' cannot be naive. Can the daughter of the Earl of Eastchester be naive?"

"I hate Hermes because he was involved in this disaster, but I want to thank him for giving me the possibility to continue to grow."

Miss Hall's tone seemed gentle at first, but in fact it contained a decisive tone.

"The extraordinary world is too dangerous. I have to stay away from mom and dad," Audrey let go of Susie and stood up from her seat. Under her black dress, shadows rolled like boiling water.

"But staying away doesn't mean disappearing. After all, Knights are meant to conquer the world."

……

In the Esco Bar, Adele was sitting in a separate secret room, carefully looking at the pair of colorful black eyes in the small wooden box. (To know what colorful black looks like, please refer to the Honkai Impact 3 animation short)

"It's actually the real thing... Then the main material is the silk gland of an adult giant widow spider."

Adele, who had just finished divination, exclaimed in surprise. The speed of collecting the main materials was much faster than she had imagined. At this rate, she should be able to advance to Sequence 6 in just two months.

"I remember that the auxiliary materials for Sequence 6 also include mummy ashes and ground-up Feynapotter flies?"

Vinata, who had seen the Blasphemous Card with Adele, interrupted.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb." Adele retorted unhappily, "Maybe when you get promoted later, the main ingredient of the potion will be the semen of some magical creature."

Her arson potion digests so quickly that even an unconscious provocation can make people angry... Damn, I feel like I won't be able to eat tonight...

Adele put the small box away and opened the gangster's storage cabinet in the secret room.

There were a large number of large-denomination banknotes inside, conservatively estimated to be at least 100,000 Horns. In addition, there were low-sequence Beyonder characteristics stored in different categories. Obviously, the gangsters were not bluffing when they said in the notice at the door that they had hunted down a large number of Beyonders.

Adele randomly picked out 13,000 Horns and threw them to Wendy, who was sitting quietly beside her and didn't dare to move. This process was not difficult, because the face value of Horns was larger than the largest denomination of the gold pound. There were 100 Horns in circulation, so Adele just picked up a few bundles to make up the amount.

"Here, the money you earned from selling your Beyonder characteristics." Adele tried to make her smile look gentler. "A lot of the money in the basement was blown up. I'll give you some compensation directly from the Esco family's vault."

"Thank you." Wendy quickly took the two bundles of cash. She wanted to count them, but after looking at Adele and Vinata's expressions, she didn't dare to do it. She quickly put the cash into her bag and sat aside obediently.

"Oh, Vinata, go to the hotel and pick up Sophie and Annie first." Adele thought for a moment and told Vinata, "This will be our base from now on... This is much more luxurious than the bar in Geglan."
