章 114: Feast of Blood
South of the Bridge, Harvest Church.
After making simple contact with the witch, Lena, Ebner quickly left the factory. Then, relying on the underwater breathing charm, he directly jumped into the Tussock River and drifted to the eastern suburbs outside St. George Borough. Only then did he go ashore and rush to the nearest subway station. He took the subway to the south side of the bridge.
As for Alec? He had already guessed the whole story from what he had eavesdropped on. He could confirm it with her after the deal with the Demoness.
The church was still deserted. Even Roman, who was temporarily staying here, was not in the hall in front. There were only two giants praying piously to the Earth Mother's Sacred Emblem.
After hearing Ebner's recount of the encounter at the St. George Borough factory, Captain Lech Arsenov frowned and asked Bishop Utravsky beside him,
"Do you know who Talim Dumont is?"
Bishop Utravsky thought carefully for a moment and replied hesitantly, "He seems to be a horse trainer from a declining noble family."
"The equestrian coach… then who is he working for?" Captain Asenov asked again.
Bishop Utravsky shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. At this moment, Ebner interjected,
"This equestrian coach came to me before and stopped me from investigating a butler's assistant… As he wasn't tight-lipped, he revealed that he was working for a prince."
"Prince? A malicious investigation of the butler's assistant? Heh heh, I'm guessing you're talking about Prince Edessak," Bishop Utravsky said with a smile when he heard that.
"Father, you're also concerned about the kingdom's political news?" Ebner asked in surprise. He always felt that Lilith's Blessed was only focused on praying and developing believers.
"Although I've only been in Loen for a short period of time, there are still some families of the upper nobles who have changed their faith in Mother," Bishop Utravsky replied gently.
Captain Arsenov said regretfully, "With a prince protecting that witch, we can't take the most direct and effective action."
As expected of a Beyonder passing by the Twilight Giant, all he could think of was to charge forward! Ebner secretly lampooned before asking the giant captain, "What do you think about the Demoness' transaction request?"
"In principle, I agree… After we agree on a meeting place, let Judy go with you. Heh heh, if she can't cure that Demoness, then I'm afraid the Saint will have to do it himself," Captain Asenov said after thinking for a moment.
At this moment, Viscount Cullen of the Blood Race walked out from the room behind the church. After exchanging greetings with the three of them, he handed a copybook to Ebner and said with a smile,
"There are no results regarding the Tree of Elders… However, I've already paid you in advance. This is the mysterious book written by a duke from the Blood Race, 'Blood Feast'. There are many interesting ritualistic magic and mysterious stories recorded in it… Of course, I've only given you the first half."
Ebner happily received the book. His first thought was… to arrange for Xio to recite Mr. Fool's honorific name.
…
Tingen, 2 Daffodil Street's row villa, in the Moretti family's restaurant.
Looking at the plate with only the bottom of the soup left, Benson raised his hand to cover his mouth and burped in satisfaction.
"Klein, your culinary skills seem to have improved by leaps and bounds again. I feel that the sourness and sweetness of the tomatoes are perfectly combined with the elasticity of the beef tail and the extremely unique freshness. This taste is even better than the last time you cooked! Klein, although I've already said this once, I have to reiterate: It's a pity that the Blackthorn Security Company caused Tingen City to lose an outstanding chef."
Melissa hugged her bloated stomach and nodded silently.
"This is only because you haven't seen real culinary skills." While Klein was being humble and polite to his siblings, he was thinking, Perhaps I can get Tower and Justice to sacrifice some of Backlund's delicacies to me in the future… Yes, The Hanged Man has been at sea all year round and has been to more places. Bayam, Pasu, Nas, and the other island's specialty foods are also said to be pretty good. What excuse should I use to get them to offer me sacrifices?
However, even if you sacrifice it to me, you have to become a Clown before you can obtain it… I can't spend ten pounds for a meal to hold a bestowment ritual…
Melissa saw that her brother was distracted and thought that he was recalling the delicacies in the restaurant. She immediately said, "I prefer what you make."
Benson chuckled and said, "Melissa, I heard that a senior lecturer from Backlund recently came to your technical school?"
"Yes, that person's name is Kapusky Reed, and he's a professor of ancient Feysac. He's very popular among his classmates, but I don't really like him…" Melissa muttered, looking somewhat depressed.
"What happened?" The two brothers noticed that something was amiss with Melissa and asked with concern.
"Nothing… It's just that I don't quite agree with some of his ideas, so I ended up arguing with him…" Melissa said in a low voice. One of the people who quarreled with her was her previous friend, and that was the main reason why she was unhappy.
Klein pinched his glabella and secretly activated his Spirit Vision. He looked at the color of his sister's aura and heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that there was no problem.
On the other side, Benson said with a serious expression, "I heard that this senior instructor came to Tingen because he complained in Backlund. From the looks of it, he still needs a righteous complaint here… so that he can return to Backlund."
"I can help you with this matter. As you know, the Blackthorn Security Company is related to the police station." Klein nodded in agreement.
"You… You don't have to do this." Melissa saw that her two brothers had expressed their concern for her in such a manner. The depression in her heart dissipated, and she felt warm all over.
…
Backlund East Borough, in Ebner's rented house.
Xio's face turned pale for no reason when she saw her good friend take out the Solomon Empire gold coin in embarrassment.
However, after pursing her lips, she still dripped her blood into Gold Coin's avatar.
Xio immediately heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she only needed a single drop of gold coins.
Seeing that the gold coins had been sealed again, Ebner took out a book with the words "Feast of Blood" written on the cover and handed it to her. He said with a smile, "Your mysticism knowledge has always been lacking, so I specially brought this book for you… This book is owned by a duke of the Sanguine, and it contains rich mysticism knowledge…"
