Dunn was silent, standing by the desk and thinking quietly, the expression on his face changed slightly.
He was looking for loopholes in Valeera's statement, and he was hesitating whether to cross the default boundaries of "Nighthawks" and explore the secrets Valeera did not want to reveal.
Not long after Dunn stopped asking questions, Valeela turned back and returned her attention to the notes in her hand.
The room was quiet for a long time.
"I have one more question."
Dunn spoke again and asked his carefully considered question:
"If the incident in Tingen happened again, what ending would you most want?"
This was his last side attempt. If he still couldn't dispel his concerns, he would have no choice but to cross the line.
Valeela looked up again, her dark brown eyes slightly blurred.
"Well, the best case scenario..." Valeela breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "If I arrive earlier, none of you will have to die."
】
"It would be best if I could kill Ince and get that holy object. I can then use it to be promoted to a Sequence 4 Saint."
"I think if I really did it, the goddess wouldn't blame me."
During the silent period just now, Dunn was thinking, and Valeela was certainly not idle either.
She could feel Dunn's residual distrust.
Although I don’t know the reason, the problem must still be solved.
Considering the consequences of "Mr. A" forcing her into a dream, Valeera guessed that her dream might be a little special.
The "Goddess of the Night" happens to have authority in the dream realm. She can mislead Dunn and make him think about this, which may dispel his concerns.
After Dunn's question came out, Valeela had another idea and exposed the adjacent relationship between the "Witch" and "Dark Night" pathways, adding weight to her misleading strategy.
Sure enough, Dunn was shocked by Valeera's answer again.
He looked moved and couldn't help but ask:
"Can the 'Witch' also switch to the 'Sleepless One' path?!"
As the captain of the "Nighthawks" team, he has the authority to understand the knowledge related to path conversion.
Of course, it's part of it.
He knew that the incomplete "Corpse Collector" path controlled by the church could be safely transferred to the "Sleepless One" path when he was promoted to Sequence 4.
But to say that witches can also turn around was completely beyond the scope of his knowledge.
"yes."
Valeela nodded, turned over a few pages of the notes in her hand, pointed to the content above and said:
"Look, not only 'Witch', but also 'Hunter', 'Corpse Collector' and 'Warrior', they can all switch to the 'Sleepless One' path after Sequence 4."
Of course, in reality, Valeela would not record such occult knowledge in her notes, but this was her dream, and she was still awake, so she could of course evolve relevant content reasonably.
Dunn was stunned and thought of many things at once.
As Valeera expected, he did raise the suspicion that she might be a goddess scroller, but what was more able to dispel Dunn's concerns was the deeper purpose revealed by Valeera.
It's enough to explore here.
He entered the dream to rule out possible conspiracies, not to dig out the secrets in other people's hearts. As long as he confirmed that Valeera was not an enemy, he had achieved his goal of entering the dream.
Dunn used the "Incubus" ability to influence Valeera, molding her memory of dreams to ensure that she could not recall the specific content after waking up.
After finishing, he returned to the window, nodded gently to Valeela, leaned back, fell towards the darkness outside the window, and left this dreamland.
After Dunn left, Valeera originally wanted to maintain this lucid dream for a while longer.
But it was a pity that after she explored the room a little and failed to open the door after trying twice, she felt that her thinking was getting slower and slower, and she soon fell back into dreaming.
The next day, after breakfast.
Valeera took her personal maid Liya and boarded the steam train to Tingen.
Of course, before leaving, she went to see Dunn and left her arrangements as a suggestion as if nothing had happened.
She said that she would not interfere too much with Dunn's actions and had only two requirements:
The first is not to expose your identity; the second is to take Lidya with you.
There was no need for Dunn to refuse such a loose request. So after Valeera and the other two, Dunn, who had barely recovered his mobility, also headed to Tingen via the waterway with Lydia.
Lydia has been a "Singer" for a month, and she has almost mastered all the occult knowledge she needs to learn. Now it's time to practice her practical skills with Dunn.
…
Moretti's house, No. 6, Daffodil Street, Tingen.
Valeela knocked on the door and saw Benson who looked numb and haggard, with bloodshot eyes.
After a few simple greetings, he said in a low voice:
"Do you need some rest, or should I take you to church now?"
"Melissa is at church."
Valeela pursed her lips and said with sad eyes, "Go to church, I want to see him as soon as possible."
"Also, I want to know how he died, in detail."
"Okay, we'll tell you on the way." Benson nodded.
They reboarded the taxi that had brought Valila here, and spent more than a quarter of an hour arriving at St. Selina Church on Red Moon Street.
While on the road, Benson recounted Crane's heroic deeds.
Of course, it was the version concocted by the Nighthawks.
"fool."
After listening, Valeera cursed in a low voice, took the silk scarf from Liya, and wiped the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
After getting off the carriage, the three of them entered the beautiful white square and entered the black spire cathedral, the headquarters of the Church of the Night Goddess in Tingen.
They bypassed the large prayer hall on the front, went some distance along the aisle, and entered a quiet side hall.
Along the way, narrow high windows inlaid with blue and red fine patterns let in wisps of dyed light, blue almost black and red like the moon, making the surroundings extremely dark.
This was Valeera's first time entering a church in more than a year, and it was such a cathedral. It was impossible to say that she wasn't nervous at all.
This side hall is not large in area, with a row of seats on both sides, and Klein's coffin is placed in the open space in the middle.
Melissa sat aside blankly, keeping vigil for Klein.
An old priest was standing behind the podium at the top, reciting scriptures in a solemn tone——
As a sacrificed "night watcher" and a hero who guarded Tingen, Klein's funeral specifications were obviously far beyond the norm. During the period of suspension, a priest would come and recite scriptures every hour.
The three of Valila walked to Melissa and sat down, listening quietly for more than ten minutes. The priest on the stage completed this round of recitation, put away the scriptures, nodded in greeting, and left.
"Valeera..."
Melissa held Valila's hand, held it in for a while, and finally couldn't help crying with red eyes.
