Chương 136: "Upload" Materials

At ten in the evening, Susie sneaked out of the door of the living room and sneaked back to Audrey's room. The latter hurriedly found an excuse to make the maidservants leave for the time being before locking the door. She turned her head to look at Susie, who wasn't sure if she was still a pet.

"Did you hear, uh, or did something happen?"

The golden retriever, Susie, squatted there calmly and howled, shaking the surrounding air.

"Yes, I heard the earl and a few nobles discussing something in the study. One of them, Marquis Sosna, started the conversation and talked about which lady was more charming…"

Seeing that Susie's words were so surprising, Audrey immediately felt extremely embarrassed. She fell silent for a few seconds before interrupting. "Susie, just ignore this marquis and repeat the rest of their conversation."

Later, she would have to disclose Marquis Sosna's words to her mother and persuade her father to cut ties with Marquis.

"Alright ~" Susie replied happily. "They discussed the prince's assassination at the headquarters of the Daily Observer. They said that the murderer's target might not be His Highness, but the Church of Storms and the Mandated Punishers."

"Is that so?" Audrey asked in surprise.

In the past two days, she had seen the heroic deeds of the "brave and resourceful detective" at the headquarters of the Daily Observer. Were they all fake?

No, that's not right. The detective's story should be true. I guess it was also his quick wit that allowed him to see through the murderer's plan and save the ordinary people in the building at the time.

"However, I'm afraid that even the detective himself doesn't know that there is a deeper reason behind this… but I do.

Just as Audrey was feeling satisfied with herself, Susie answered very honestly, "I can't give you a definite answer. This is just what I heard. I heard from the Viscount who was discussing this matter that it was said by Prince Edessak himself. By the way, that Viscount also said that Prince Edessak seems to have become enemies with Earl Lorena recently."

"Earl Lorena…" Audrey didn't expect to hear this name. Thinking of Tower's request and the Demoness that the earl might be colluding with, she hurriedly asked, "Susie, who's the viscount that's discussing this matter?"

Now that she knew the name, she wanted to find out more about it while waiting for the ball.

"Audrey, I don't know so many people. I only knew that person was a viscount after hearing the earl address me that way… After all, I'm just a dog that has just started learning." Susie shook her tail and lowered her head.

"…" Audrey was momentarily stunned before she beamed. "Susie, you've already done very well! This is your reward!"

She took out a bag from a beautifully decorated cabinet, pulled the seal, and placed it in front of Susie.

This was a dog biscuit made by Backlund's Pet Company with flour, vegetables, meat, and water. It was Susie's favorite snack.

Susie, who was sitting upright, sniffed and waved one of her claws, as if she was considering how to eat to suit her current identity.

A few seconds later, it gave up thinking and followed its instincts. It suddenly pounced forward and rushed towards the door with the bag of rations in its mouth.

It straightened its body, opened the door with one paw, and walked out. It hid in the shadows and began to enjoy its snacks.

…

After receiving the Tree of Elders' Heart, Ebner communicated with Bishop Utravsky about Member of Parliament Macht's banquet. The latter didn't reject and said that he would arrive on time after receiving the invitation.

After discussing this matter, Ebner was just about to bid farewell when he realized that the giant bishop was holding a manuscript in his hand. The handwriting on the manuscript was elegant, clearly written by a girl.

Ebner had thought that the archbishop had some romantic story, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the manuscript was actually written in Chinese! Although the structure of the Chinese interface was extremely awkward, it was very neat and could be considered a rather good type of transcription.

"Roselle text?" Ebner pretended to be surprised as he asked. Then, he carefully read the text and realized that it was indeed a Roselle diary entry.

"22nd September. Today, I received information regarding Stiano's Golden Armor Spell. This is truly an impressive technique. Stiano lives up to being one of the founders of the Moses Ascetic Order. This spell is actually comparable to a Guardian's core ability! Yes, I've decided. I'm going to modify this spell into Roselle's Golden Armor Spell again. It needs to have twelve different styles."

Alright, Emperor… It seems like you really intend to create the Golden Holy Garment? I wonder if the final transformation of this technique is successful.

Just as Ebner was grumbling to himself, Bishop Utravsky saw that he was interested. The smiling man said,

"This is the manuscript that Miss Hazel copied from Roselle… She seems to like copying manuscripts, so I gave her a few of my personal collection for reference."

Is he trying to cultivate her character? Speaking of which, why does the Church of Earth Mother's style seem a little off… Isn't copying scriptures the style of a certain Western Continent sect? Ebner lampooned silently, but on the surface, he sighed. "I never expected Miss Hazel to be interested in Roselle's text."

"She's interested in the basics of mysticism… Although she didn't say it, I can sense that the more she learns, the more ashamed she is of her ignorance." Bishop Utravsky shook his head.

"Where is Miss Hazel?"

"She still needs to be imprisoned underground most of the time… Only when praying to Mother will she be allowed to come up."

After that, Ebner didn't chat with the giant bishop. After bidding farewell to the people in the hall, he left the Harvest Church in a carriage.

However, he didn't immediately return to his teacher's house. Instead, he headed for his residence in East Borough.

After all, the Tree of Elders' Heart was also what his teacher needed. Ebner did not want to use it to test his humanity. Even if his teacher treated him very well, he would not steal his student's items.

Moreover, the teacher's house could be said to be both commercial and residential. People came and went. He was indeed worried about leaving such a precious thing there.

After entering his room, Ebner took out the spare materials that he had kept here and began to set up the ritual and altar.

A main ingredient worth 2,100 pounds naturally couldn't be placed in a house in East Borough. It was safer in Sefirah Castle.

However, I can't let The Fool help for nothing. Although it's unlikely that he will reject it, I can't be too casual with my attitude… It's better to be respectful, or I might scare him away.

With this in mind, Ebner took out a pen and paper and silently wrote Roselle's diary that he had seen at the Harvest Church. With his excellent memory, he even imitated Hazel's handwriting.

After doing this, he placed the diary and the leather box containing the Tree of Elders on the altar before sitting down. He leaned forward and placed his hands in a praying position against his forehead.

Then, she chanted in ancient Hermes,

"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era…

"You are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog.

"You are the King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck."

…

At 10 p.m., it happened to be Klein's turn to patrol the cemetery. Just as he returned to 2 Daffodil Street, he heard illusory pleas before he could take off his hat.

It can't be Mr. Tower again, right? I just held the Tarot Club today, and there's already something I need to pray to The Fool? Klein thought as he prepared to enter the living room and head to his room on the second floor.

At that moment, he heard the bathroom door open again. He hurriedly turned around to check, only to see his sister, Melissa, walk out.

"You're back…" Melissa seemed very sleepy as she rubbed her eyes.

Klein pretended to cover his mouth and yawned.

"Yes, I need a beautiful dream. I have to go to work tomorrow morning."

He was supposed to take turns on Monday, but because of the cemetery mission assigned by Captain, his holiday was deducted by one point…

He did not know if he could apply for a special allowance because of this.

Melissa tersely acknowledged as she suddenly thought of something.

"Elizabeth went to the town of Lamud for a vacation. Her family owns an estate there."

Lamud Town seems to be in the suburbs… But where she goes has nothing to do with me? Klein thought in puzzlement.

However, these scattered thoughts flashed through his mind as he looked at Melissa. He forced a smile and nodded.

"Then I hope she has a good time. I just want to get some sleep as soon as possible."

Crossing to Melissa, he entered his bedroom and locked the door behind him.

Following that, he took out the ritual silver dagger and created a sealed wall of spirituality.

Then, Klein took four steps counterclockwise and silently chanted the incantation. He resisted the chaotic screams and went above the gray fog.

In this illusory and boundless world, sitting at the head of the ancient mottled bronze table, he casually looked at it and realized that the prayer had indeed come from Mr. Tower.
