Chapter 91 Gestures and Codes

As Anjou and Hazel walked back to the small living room on the second floor one after the other, the conversation between Bishop Elektra and the Macht couple was also coming to an end.

Seeing An Ruowang and Hazel walk in one after the other, Bishop Elektra didn't ask anything, but simply nodded to An Ruowang with a slightly mocking smile on his face.

An Ruowang said nothing, but made a gesture commonly used within the Church of the Night, indicating that something was amiss.

The Church of the Night, as one of the righteous churches, has accumulated unimaginable knowledge in various aspects, including secret codes and gestures for certain emergencies.

The Abrahamic family also had a set of gestures. For example, if you raised your right hand, made a fist, and placed it on the first button of a black suit, it meant "stay away, don't come near".

The gesture An Ruowang made at this moment meant one thing—"There's a situation, but it's not urgent. We'll discuss it in detail later."

Bishop Elektra was immediately awestruck upon seeing the gesture, but his mocking expression remained unchanged.

He smiled meaningfully at Hazel Macht and nodded to her.

At this moment, Congressman Macht stepped forward, his gaze lingering for a moment on his daughter's slightly flushed face before turning to An Ruowang, his tone carrying just the right amount of warmth and politeness: "Mr. Aleister, my daughter has been in the garden for so long, has she neglected you?"

An Ruowang smiled and nodded: "Mr. Macht is too kind."

The garden in your house is beautifully maintained; taking an afternoon stroll among the flowers is a true pleasure, and it makes me want to try learning gardening myself.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Hazel almost casually, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Miss Hazel is also very talkative, and we chatted about many interesting topics."

Hazel stood to the side, head down, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt, like a young bride-to-be.

Upon seeing this, Congressman Macht immediately burst into hearty laughter: "That's good, that's good. Mr. Aleister, if you're interested in the garden, leave me an address, and I'll have the gardener send you some of the new varieties cultivated this spring. They're all beautiful, with long blooms and vibrant colors."

An Ruowang smiled and agreed, "Then I will gladly accept your offer. Thank you very much, Mr. Macht."

Anjou turned to Bishop Elektra.

The two exchanged a glance, and after a brief exchange of glances, they both bowed slightly to the Macht family, saying, "Well then, we'll take our leave now."

Pleasant times always seem too short.

Since Anjou and Bishop Elektra were making a routine visit, they naturally couldn't stay at Councilor Macht's house indefinitely.

Moreover, they have been here longer than expected, long enough for An Ruowang and Hai Rou'er to go from just meeting to holding hands and looking at each other's palms in an ambiguous way.

After bidding farewell to the Macht family, the two walked together out of the Macht family mansion and along the cobblestone path toward the carriage parked at the door.

The church driver was already waiting with the car door open. The two men got into the car one after the other, and the door closed gently.

The sound of hooves rang out, and the carriage slowly started moving, departing from 39 Berklund Street.

The carriage was quiet for a few seconds before Bishop Elektra turned his head to look at An Ruowang.

A searching glint flashed in his eyes. He lowered his voice and asked solemnly, "Miss Hazel, and what exactly was the meaning behind your gesture?"

An Ruowang leaned back in her chair and waved her hand: "She is a Sequence 9 Wild Extraordinary, the Thief pathway."

Bishop Elektra's brow relaxed slightly.

So this is what happened.

That seems to be a minor matter.

Her parents were devout believers in Goddess, as was she, and her father was a Member of Parliament.

With this identity, even if she becomes a wild extraordinary being, the church can turn a blind eye.

After all, wild extraordinary beings are not directly equivalent to enemies. As long as they do not cause trouble or harm society, the church has no need to exterminate them all.

However, when it comes to wild extraordinary beings who worship the goddess, Bishop Elektra is reminded of the "honorary advisors" squad that Aleister is currently assembling.

If he remembered correctly, Aleister had already reported the two "honorary advisors" to the church and provided a brief account of the situation.

One of them is a Sequence 5 "vengeful spirit" from the Temperance faction of the Rose School in the Southern Continent, who seems to have a favorable impression of the Church because of Aleister himself.

The other is Viscount Grelint, who was personally brought into the world of the Extraordinary by Aleister himself. He is a Sequence 9 "Pharmacist" and is a believer of the goddess.

It seems that another "thief" is about to be added to the ranks of honorary advisors?

Bishop Elektra understood, and smiled mischievously: "So you mean... to recruit her into your squad?"

To be honest, if it weren't for Grelint being there, just looking at Sharon and Hazel, he probably would have thought this honorary advisor squad was Aleister's harem squad.

An Ruowang didn't refute, but nodded: "Yes, I've already awarded her the 'Honorary Advisor' medal, recruited her into my team, and taught her role-playing techniques."

As a favorite of the goddess and an unofficial night watchman, An Ruowang has the authority to share role-playing techniques with her team members.

However, if this causes trouble, he will naturally be the one primarily responsible; that's how rights and responsibilities are balanced.

Bishop Elektra nodded, indicating that he understood, and was about to say something when An Ruowang changed the subject: "However, that's not what I'm talking about."

"Oh?"

An Ruowang's expression became more serious: "I had a deep and simple conversation with Hazel and discovered that the key to the problem lies in the reasons and roots of Hazel becoming an extraordinary being."

She has a "teacher" who guides Hazel to become an extraordinary being through dreams. From this perspective, she is at least a Sequence 5 "Dream Thief," and possibly even higher.

Although he knew Flora Jacob's specific situation, he did not want to reveal information that he should not know at the moment.

Elektra nodded, indicating that she understood.

Seeing this, An Ruowang continued, "She gave Hazel a seal that granted her access to the Thief's Path, but she didn't tell her anything about losing control, acting, or..."

Even the most basic common sense about extraordinary beings and the mystical world.

Bishop Elektra frowned.

They guide you through dreams, give you sealed artifacts, but don't even teach you basic common sense.

Even the church only chooses not to publicly perform the Dharma to all church leaders in order to avoid internal instability.

He concluded: "Is this—cultivating tools?"
