"The location of the secret society?"
"It's absolutely true. One of them is on the edge of the honey collar. The recent elemental environment is a bit abnormal, exposing many rookie demons who have not yet mastered their power."
Uriel's eyes lingered on the seven-pointed star logo on his arm for a moment. "We have also noticed that the elemental environment has changed drastically, and many mysterious creatures need pearl coltsfoot."
Edward stretched his legs uncomfortably. "Kleia said that you helped her a lot. You didn't go to the Black City. Could it be that you collected the herbs from the Cangzhi Forest? No, she was with you at the time."
"There was an apothecary selling pearl coltsfoot in Danlaw." But I'm afraid he's gone. "Didn't the Secret Society transfer the awakened Nameless Ones? Why are they kept until now? The Judge's Ladder should be put to use. Attacking us will only focus on one thing and lose the other."
"Demon hunters don't make that mistake."
The guy looks proud. "I would like to hear the details," Uriel said.
"First of all, the place I found was a stronghold where people often stayed. These unknown people bribed the employees of the detection station and established a small blank area in the patrol network. Mortals who seek their own destruction. In this way, they hid it. Judge, quietly gathered in the safe area until the elementalist suddenly behaved strangely. If you saw the blacksmith smashing the steel plate or pulling the furnace fire with your own eyes, you would also find the problem. But in order to catch them all, I did not expose them to Church. The secret society still considers the stronghold safe."
"How careless." Uriel commented softly.
"The unknown people are always on guard, and no one is more cautious than them. Maybe these demons are just lucky." Edward went on to talk about the scale of the secret society. "About thirty people can be captured in the Honey Territory stronghold, not counting the kin who shielded them and the squeaking bastards. It's a pity that the judges are not as good as the Glorious Council in making connections, otherwise the local area will be filled with blood. No one is paying attention here." He smiled proudly. "Anyway, when that time comes, the magic of the ladder will not be aimed at us."
Rivers of blood flowed. Uriel thought of the massacre at Venevoise. At that time, the number of dead people could not be counted in dozens. These war mercenaries planned to use the lives of the Nameless Ones to draw the attention of the Judges in order to buy time for their actions. From the standpoint of both the occult and the employer, this is a good idea. He actually wished for a moment that he could adopt it.
"Judges don't pick occasions when they kill demons." Dalton suddenly said, "Demon hunting will create chaos and may hinder our actions."
"Don't worry, my brothers will intercept these obstacles first." Balthazar said, "The main force of the judges is restrained by the secret society. The magic of the ladder cannot transport large troops, and the few cross knights guarding the church are not useful. . You and your companions have enough time to remove the goddess's holy water bottle and use it as... Well, I almost forgot that you are a Gaia believer, Uriel."
Gaia believer? To hell with that. If the church were truly Gaia's sanctuary, there would never be a judge. Could it be that the goddess's mercy is for statues, not living people?
Uriel didn't care what Balthazar and Edward thought. They were not saints after all, but Dalton thought so too, and the apprentice suddenly began to wonder if he was worrying too much. No. The fundamental reason is that his thinking is gradually deviating from his position. The gods have ordained who you are...
He came to his senses. "Can more than thirty people contain the judge?" Without training, even unknown people cannot compare with the church elite. Of course, unless the difference in mystery is too big.
"You don't understand this group, Uriel. Church judges don't just need to capture demons. They have to go through the entire process of interrogation, sentencing, and execution."
"You're right. I don't even know how many Inquisitors there are."
Two girls brought snacks. The mercenary leader glanced at the demon hunter beside him and said, "I don't know about this. The judges are the elites of the church. I don't think there are many of them. Edward?"
"I shouldn't say this." The adventurer tugged at the seven-pointed star armband. "It's useless to say it. It's hard to determine the number of demon hunters. Anyone can just wear it. By then, the judges and cross knights will all be dressed in the same dress. How do we differentiate?”
"It's not a distinction, but an estimation of whether your association stronghold can play a sufficient role." Saying this made him feel sick. The devil's life is not life, is it? This matter had nothing to do with them.
Edward thought about it for a moment. "Okay." He swallowed his snack. "Your mentor is also a demon hunter, Lord Uriel, so there is nothing wrong with confessing to you. Although the main job of the judges is to hunt down the syndicates, these demons are actually not that easy to catch. The church is unable to support itself, and the cross knights often need to resort to suffering. A monk, or simply a wizard of the school.”
"The judge belongs to the wizard sect?"
"That's almost it. Of course, they can also be counted as the Pope's knights. Anyway, in terms of mobility, Moniantoros can no longer have an army to compare with them." He loosened his armband, "What is your relationship with the ascetics?" how?"
"The Scandal at Eastman, in which Bishop Paton conspired with several Dervishes to blockade the monastery."
"Ha! Then they will now be personally punished by the messenger of Gaia." Edward commented. "Most of the ascetics support the truth and are members of the Silent School. Do you know that wizards have such a school, right?"
Uriel learned about it from Sauron. "The Trappist sect led by Lord 'Tattooed' Jizuk."
"The Inquisitor is directly subordinate to 'Tattoo' and is also directly subordinate to the Pope."
Dalton didn't understand: "Isn't the Pope of Gaia His Majesty Gandrias?"
"In name." Edward frowned, looking unhappy. "But he is the pope elected by the old school and has no prestige among the wizards of the school. And 'Tattoo' Jizuk is an ungodly madman, and the pope's crown is often borrowed by him. The judge is just an addition to the crown and generally does not participate. Power struggles within the church.”
"I know very well," said the apprentice.
"Your tower may not care about the following information," Edward reminded, "but you need it now. After the White Night War, demon hunters from the Silent School were transferred to Eastman to search, seemingly to uproot the secret society there. According to the guild According to the intelligence, the main force of the judges is actually in the south. There are less than two hundred people left in the Honey Territory, and the manpower is tight to clean up the demon association... However, the problem is not that, it is still the Honorable Shania Ravenas in Eastman. Taking control of the situation, 'Tattooed' Jizuk stays in Monian Toros. From this point of view, our bait is probably unattractive."
"He is a law wizard, and the Paperclip Mercenary Group cannot deal with such a person." Balthazar also said. "Of course, we don't have to defeat him. Uriel, you should have a way to deal with the 'tattoo' question."
They didn't seem very nervous, at least they were much more relaxed than the apprentices. As it should. The Paperclip Mercenary Group didn't know what Uriel's so-called sanctions meant. The small conflict between the Tower Messenger and the Church of Gaia is not likely to attract such big shots - it is true that the Church Nightingale suffered heavy casualties, but those who know the inside story know that wizards may not necessarily stand up for them. Maybe the school is happy to see the church hit hard.
When we enter the church headquarters and communicate with the real Pope face to face about the will of the goddess, I am afraid that His Excellency "Tattoo" will not just question. Uriel thought to himself. He secretly decided to let Dalton and York stay near the paperclip mercenaries. Although the judge was dangerous, he was only a ring level at least. The School of Silence is the mysterious fulcrum. The apprentices have the prophet's prophecy and Sauron Geshen, which is barely equal.
"You don't need to worry about this." Uriel told the mercenary leader, "The wizard part is not included in the scope of employment. We have already agreed."
"But I didn't mention the Law Wizard. The Sky Realm usually doesn't care about the little fights in the mysterious realm, but there are always contingencies. There are already judges among the people who attacked you, so there is no guarantee that the Law Wizard will not be disturbed." Edward coughed. , "'Tattooed' Jizuk, like the White Envoy, will not reason with the enemy——"
"Your cigarette is out." Balthazar interrupted him hurriedly, "Go and change it quickly! I don't want to smell the smell of incompletely burned tobacco." When Edward left the table step by step with his cane, the servant The soldier shrugged, "It's harmful to your health."
"It doesn't matter. I understand what he means. This is a very objective statement." There are more important things to care about. "Your plan is quite perfect. It's just a bait to attract the main force of the Judge. Balthazar, I hope there is a more reliable method."
"You can't bear it, can you? You are also a Gaia believer."
Uriel did not deny it. "The demon hunting movement has given us a warning. Catching demons must be done by professionals personally. There is no benefit in making things worse."
"We charge money to do things, Uriel, you can rest assured."

"It seems so."
Gods willing I can convince him. "The secret society's stronghold can be handled properly. We don't need to start a massacre and end up becoming the next Holy Knights. Edward is a demon hunter and knows how far he can fool the eyes of the judge. Sometimes, acting is more convincing than the facts. The most important thing is that the situation is controllable, which means that your brothers don’t need to be lost in the melee... directing actors is easier than fighting, isn’t it?”
Balthazar stared at them for a long time. "Yes." There was no doubt in his eyes, but he seemed to know them again. "Remove the dispute and bring peace. Why not do it this way? I see, your idea is better. I'll think it over, I will."
