Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 48 Turns out you are a lawyer too!
"Hillston? It's not far from Queens."

The Earl frowned. The safest place in Backlund was undoubtedly the North District, where the headquarters of the Church of Evernight was located.

The next are Queens and the West Side, where aristocrats and top businessmen gather.

Most of the night watchmen patrol here, and the security conditions are the best.

For example, Earl Hall's family even has a team of night watchmen sent by the Church of Evernight to protect them.

So generally speaking, no criminal would be bold enough to commit a crime here.

If they really want to kill someone, they'd better go to the East End -

It was the place with the worst security and the most lax supervision in Backlund.

They could even kill people there without being detected.

But a Sequence 7 criminal, who is clearly a mentally ill cultist who dares to kill people in the Hillston district, no one can guarantee that they will not take the risk and commit crimes in Queens as well.

So now is the most dangerous.

In addition to the Night Watchmen, there are young and beautiful noble ladies like Audrey.

"Audrey."

Lord Hall turned his gaze toward his daughter.

"I know, Dad."

Audrey's expression also became a little serious, and she said seriously, "I will try to avoid going out these days."

"So much the better."

Earl Hall said earnestly, "Audrey, although you are already a Beyonder, you cannot gain enough strength to protect yourself with just Sequence 9."

"really."

Audrey had already guessed the answer after being reminded by Yu Jin. She was slightly relieved and whispered, "Do you already know it?"

"You took so many magical materials from the treasure house. Are you naive enough to think that your father and I didn't notice?"

The Countess smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth. As expected, even though she had become an Extraordinary Person, Audrey was still the innocent and lovely little angel she was.

"Is that why you invited Mr. Lover?"

Audrey guessed silently in her heart.

Because of the frequent contact with Mr. Lover recently, Mom and Dad mistakenly believed that it was Mr. Lover who gave them the potion formula.

So they invited Mr. Lover to their home to test whether he had any other intentions?

Well.

At least from now on, their relationship seems to be harmonious. Has Mr. Lover passed the test?

Thinking of this, Audrey glanced at Ember out of the corner of her eye.

Yu Jin looked normal, with nothing unusual happening. This made Audrey feel relieved.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lover."

Audrey thought silently in her heart.

Her audience formula was not given by Ember, nor was it Ember who 'tricked' her into embarking on the path of becoming an Extraordinary.

But from the current perspective, Earl Hall obviously misunderstood something.

Lord Hall noticed the way Audrey was secretly looking at Ember, and he couldn't help but look at Lady Caitlin.

They all saw the "understanding" in each other's eyes, and they had confirmed a certain guess.

"You can't stay in college if you're a female."

Earl Hall sighed in his heart. Was he worried that he would hold Yu Jin accountable?
If it was at the beginning, he did have this idea.

But judging from the current situation, isn't his doing this tantamount to breaking up a couple in love?
This wouldn't do. He didn't want his precious daughter to hate him like an enemy.

"Don't be too nervous."

Earl Hall smiled and said, "If you want to attend those banquets or salons, that's fine, but you can't go out alone anymore. At least you need to be accompanied and protected by other Beyonders."

Audrey nodded silently.

In fact, she didn't go out alone before; she went with the coachman and Anne.

But they are not Beyonders, so they are still 'alone'. But, bodyguards?
"dad."

Audrey asked curiously, "Do we have a lot of Beyonder bodyguards in our house?"

"Not much."

Earl Hall pondered for two seconds and replied, "There are only about a dozen of them. Among them, there is a team of three Beyonders from the Church of Evernight. Among the other Beyonders, some are trained by the family, and the other part is a simple employment relationship."

"But,"

Audrey glanced at the embers and whispered, "Are these all wild Beyonders?"

Is it really okay for you to say in front of an official Beyonder that you have a dozen wild Beyonders at home?

"Don't worry."

Yu Jin saw the girl's thoughts and shook his head, saying, "These are all tacitly approved. Most of the nobles in Backlund privately hire some Beyonders to protect their own safety. This is an unspoken rule tacitly approved by the church."

“It’s not actually tacit consent.”

The Countess interrupted and complained, "For these extraordinary people, we have to donate a lot of gold pounds to the church every year."

Audrey opened her mouth and her expression became inexplicably strange.

What happened to the agreement that official Extraordinary people and wild Extraordinary people are irreconcilable?

So is this actually an unspoken rule?

"Earl Hall."

Yu Jin suddenly asked, "Can I ask which sequence pathway the Hall family uses to train extraordinary people?"

Earl Hall was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "There's nothing to hide about this. The Hall family has two Beyonder Sequence Paths, one for Arbitrator and the other for Lawyer, but the highest one is only Sequence 6."

After a pause, Earl Hall said helplessly, "It's a pity that you have already chosen your own path. The two sequence paths I have probably can't help you much."

"lawyer?"

Yu Jin's eyes moved slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Audrey.

At this moment, Miss Audrey seemed to sense something and also looked towards the embers.

"dad."

Audrey considered her words and asked, "Can I ask where these two sequence pathways come from?"

"The source is of course the royal family."

Earl Hall said as a matter of course, "Most of the nobles in the Kingdom of Loen have these two sequence paths, and they were all bought from the royal family."

After a pause, Earl Hall smiled and said, "This is also part of the rules. Otherwise, even if the church tacitly allows us to train extraordinary people privately, the royal family will not allow it."

He originally didn't want Audrey to be exposed to these things.

But now that Audrey has become an Extraordinary, they have already revealed their cards.

Then it is necessary to let Audrey know more about the secrets of the mysterious world so that she can avoid taking detours.

In order to train extraordinary people privately without being held accountable by the church, they have to donate money to the church every year.

At the same time, the church will also send a team of night watchmen to the door.

Both to protect their safety and to supervise the extraordinary people they train.

Like, to prevent them from getting out of control or something like that.

In order to get the royal family's acquiescence, they need to pay to buy the potion formulas and materials from the royal family.

The royal family can use this to make money, and also use it to monopolize the mid- and high-sequence potion formulas.

Therefore, the potion formula sold by the royal family only goes up to Sequence 6.

If the nobles want to continue to improve the extraordinary people they have trained, they will have to pay a higher price.

Or let these extraordinary people work for the royal family and exchange their "contributions" for magic potions.

So in the final analysis.

In fact, this is just a transaction from beginning to end.
