Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 49: A loyal minister does not serve two masters. There is only one sun in my heart!
"Sure enough, it's the royal family again."

Yu Jin understood it and was not too surprised.

However, although I have guessed that the 'Black Emperor' is in the royal family.

But he couldn't determine who the specific target was, so no action was taken until now.

Although his primary suspect was the current King George III, he also thought about going to the palace first, perhaps he could kill a boss directly.

But to be on the safe side, he consulted Archbishop Anthony about the matter.

The Archbishop's answer was decisive:

"It can't be George III."

"In ancient times, the seven great orthodox churches signed three major contracts with the royal families of various countries. Every king is bound by these three contracts and can only reach Sequence 5 at most."

"In other words, the 'Black Emperor' is some old antique in the royal family?"

Yu Jin already had some guesses in his mind.

However, he couldn't determine the target yet, so in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he could only continue to collect intelligence.

Because this is not a game after all.

The BOSS will not stay in the BOSS room and wait for him to challenge it again and again unless he has a reason to stay there.

But in most cases, if he rushed forward like a reckless man, the BOSS would most likely run away because of alerting the enemy.

Don't ask him how he knew.

"dad."

Audrey noticed that Yu Jin was not in a good state and seemed to be lost in thought. In order to avoid being noticed by Earl Hall, Audrey had to change the subject in time.

"Who is the guard you arranged for me? Is he someone I know?"

Audrey was actually a little curious.

There were quite a few servants in this villa, and she knew almost all of them.

But she didn't know who those hidden extraordinary people were.

"Isn't he sitting next to you?"

Earl Hall laughed and joked, "Or do you not want him to 'protect' you?"

"Eh?"

Audrey realized something immediately.

"what?"

Yu Jin also came back to his senses at this time, with a confused look in his eyes.

"In fact."

Earl Hall said seriously, "I hope to hire you, Ash, to be Audrey's bodyguard. You don't need to be her personal guard at all times, you just need to accompany her when she goes out to attend banquets."

After a pause, Earl Hall continued, "After all, you happen to attend banquets together often, don't you?"

Earl Hall said this and glanced at his daughter teasingly.

"It's not impossible."

Yu Jin hesitated for two seconds, then nodded and said, "I don't have any objection."

Anyway, he has a flexible working schedule, and how long he works each week depends entirely on his conscience.

It's not impossible to take on a private job by taking advantage of the free time during the flexible working hours.

"That's it."

Earl Hall said with a smile, "As for the salary, it will be the same as your weekly salary. How about one hundred pounds a week?"

"You didn't even ask for my opinion!"

Audrey's face flushed red, she clenched her fists and wanted to say something in defense, but in the end she couldn't say a word.

One reason is shame, and the other is guilt.

Her parents seemed to have misunderstood the relationship between her and Yu Jin, but she couldn't explain it.

Is she going to say that she and Yu Jin met at the Tarot Club?

Nowadays, relationships between young men and women that are mistakenly believed to be affectionate to each other are actually more normal and can conceal the existence of the Tarot Club.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Audrey could only comfort herself in her heart, "At least this way I can meet my lover openly without being suspected... That's weird!"

"Wouldn't that really be like meeting your 'lover'?"

"I, I'm full." Audrey, unable to bear the looks from others, lowered her head and stood up from the table. She left the restaurant as if escaping without finishing her words.

"I'll go see her."

The Countess looked at Audrey's fleeing back with some helplessness and some doting, whispered something to her husband, then gave Yu Jin an apologetic smile, turned around and chased in the direction Audrey left.

Earl Hall looked normal, and even asked with a smile, "Ash, how is it? Have you found a place to live now? Although I am also a believer of the night, it is always inconvenient to live in the church. My housekeeper can't always go to the church to find you, right?"

Earl Hall paused, then added with a smile, "If you haven't found a place to live yet, you can stay at my house temporarily. My house is quite big, and you can sleep next to Audrey."

"No, no need."

Yu Jin declined, "I've already found a place to live. I'm going to live with a few friends at 117 Burningham Road in Hillston."

"Hillston?"

Earl Hall was silent. Is he living with his team members?

That's not surprising.

After all, as Viscount Embers, he should be able to afford a house in Queens.

Even if you can't afford to buy it, you can definitely afford to rent it.

After all, his salary alone is 5200 pounds a year, which is definitely more than enough to pay the rent.

But besides being a noble, he is also a night watchman after all.

Living alone in Queens would be too conspicuous, but a middle-class area like Hillston is just right.

Moreover, living with the team members also makes it convenient to carry out daily missions.

At this moment, the butler suddenly came over and whispered something to the count.

"Ash."

The Earl waved the butler away, then gave Yu Jin an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I have some small matters to take care of at home. I think you can go to the reception room and wait for me for a while."

"Yes, Lord Hall."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, without any doubt about this, turned around and walked towards the reception room under the guidance of the maid.

But Earl Hall did not leave. Instead, he kept watching Yu Jin's back until he disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The smile on his face also faded, becoming somewhat solemn and serious.

"So, your target is actually the royal family?"

"What did the royal family do that caused the Church of Darkness to secretly investigate?"

"What does it have to do with these two sequence pathways?"

At this time, Earl Hall's heart was already in turmoil.

Even though his daughter deliberately changed the subject, he still had sharp eyes after decades of being in the aristocratic circle.

After he mentioned that the "arbitrator and lawyer" channel came from the royal family, the expressions of his daughter and Yu Jin changed.

Although the change in expression was subtle, he still captured this detail keenly.

He also realized that Yu Jin's contact with Audrey might not have been malicious, but he also had the purpose of secretly using her help to find out news about the royal family. His daughter was so infatuated with love that she would probably find ways to help her lover.

This gave Earl Hall a headache, so he deliberately did not point it out.

But since his daughter was already involved, he, as the Earl, would be forced to take sides.

Either take the initiative to expose it, or take the initiative to help Yu Jin.

Either pretend that you know nothing, or take the initiative to cut off Audrey's contact with Yu Jin.

Earl Hall gave up the first two options without even a second thought. The reason the Hall family has survived to this day is because they never take sides.

Of the latter two possibilities, the last one was also abandoned.

He couldn't sever the connection between the two.

Not only because of my daughter, but also because of my faith——

He is a loyal follower of the goddess of night.

"The goddess is more important than the king."

Earl Hall thought silently in his heart.

The king's reign lasted only a few decades, but the goddess was an immortal god.

For the sake of the Hall family and his own beliefs, he chose the goddess.

But before Yu Jin spoke up, he would just pretend he knew nothing.
