"Yes, that's right!" Lilith's eyes lit up and she agreed deeply.

In her opinion, someone who has the ability to kill the protagonist in the tightly guarded Viscount's mansion, and who has the support of a secret organization behind him, is indeed guaranteed.

Of course, this guarantee has an upper limit, and it is only for ordinary people or low-sequence clergy. If you encounter a powerful existence like Mr. "Old Day", it will only be a different scene.

It was really easy to exchange for the "Water Soul" blasphemy card. I thought he would put forward unacceptable conditions.

Dead vine sap may be an extraordinary material that is difficult for civilians and wild priests to encounter, but for me, the treasure house at home is at least about 300 pounds, and 50 ml of sap is just a drop in the bucket.

Lilith half-turned around and looked sincerely at the old man hidden under the hood:

"Your Excellency, could you please give me the Blasphemy Card now?"

At this time, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten a certain question, which was too impolite. She hurriedly turned to the convener of Pachido in a red mask and said:

"Excuse me, can I exchange for that blasphemy card now?"

Pachito nodded slightly:

"You guys continue."

At this time, the hooded old man took out a palm-sized pure black wooden box from his black robe, and handed the wooden box to Lilith.

"I will give you the blasphemy card now. The withered vine juice should be placed in a jade bottle. Remember not to put it in a glass bottle, otherwise the extraordinary power inside will be diluted and evaporated. After you pack it, find someone to send it to Thames. Just go to the Bo Lai Artisan Shop on Daffodil Street in Henanqiao District, and the 1,300 pounds in cash will be sent as well, I don't accept bank transfers."

After Lilith nodded and took note, she took the black wooden box and said with a smile:

"Ok, no problem......"

After the 'Water Soul' card transaction was completed, the party continued for about half an hour. No one was selling otherworldly items such as blasphemy cards on the way, but only sporadically exchanged knowledge, secret stories and other non-representational things.

They wrote the information they wanted to know and tell on paper, and then exchanged it. This was a secretive transaction method that Lilith had seen for the first time.

After that, no one spoke at all in the basement. Pachito, who had called the party, glanced around and announced in a low voice that the party was over, and everyone left in an orderly manner...

.........

With a kick, Clough took off his hood and ran up the spiral staircase quickly. He looked at Lilith, who looked like an angel, and immediately acted like a gentleman and said:

"Miss Lilith, are you satisfied with this party?"

"Well, I'm very satisfied." Lilith tilted her head, blinked her ruby-like eyes, and said slightly perfunctorily:

"Thank you, Mr. Clough, for letting me attend such a mysterious party and for exchanging blasphemy cards."

"It's my honor to be able to help the beautiful little cabbage. I got this ancient relic by chance before. I heard that you like to study them very much."

Clough waved gently, and a scantily clad personal maid walked down from the second floor holding a crystal chopping board and came to Lilith as if prepared.

A round bronze coin, about the size of a penny, is placed on the chopping board made of crystal. It has a series of chaotic thin lines engraved on it. At the source of these thin lines, there is a pattern that looks like an eye, except that it is engraved on it. There is no ancient atmosphere left, and there is no hidden and obscure symbolic meaning.

It is incomparable to the eye pattern on the magical black robe that Mr. "Old Days" appeared. It is a bit like the antique and distressed handicrafts that came out of the factory last week.

"Miss Lilith, I spent a lot of money to get this ancient relic from Zhanbaiting. Whenever night comes, the eye in the middle will release a strange light, showing an ancient map. I suspect it is an ancient map. A powerful clergyman or a treasure left by a family in the past, so I would like to ask you to analyze it with me tonight..."

Before Baron Clough finished speaking, Lilith smiled gracefully and said that she had already asked her personal maid Nia to prepare the carriage.

"Mr. Clough, you know that my father does not allow me to come home late. Thank you for the invitation, but I think it is time to say goodbye now."

A pure white carriage inlaid with a silver holy sword drove past the luxurious villa. Baron Clough was stunned for a few seconds, and his blank face instantly darkened, and then he suddenly laughed, and his expression became greedy and ferocious.

He roughly hugged the maid behind him, and while forcefully tearing the stockings under the overlapping black and white lace skirt, he whispered to himself:

"When I advance to Sequence 3, I will let you climb into bed on your own initiative..."

.........

In the Securities Hall on the first floor of Municipal Plaza.

Besik, who was dressed in a black trench coat with a stand-up collar and a half-high silk top hat, saw the Hollington police officer. He stood out because he was the only one wearing a police uniform in the crowd.

"Besik? Besik Valentine?" Hollington looked up and down for a few times, then greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Police Hollington, I think you did not recognize the wrong person. After all, we just met a few days ago, but your eyes may have been on the captain at that time." Besik replied humorously, and he picked up the He took off his half-high silk hat, revealing his silver hair, and bowed.

Hollington quickly bent down and returned the greeting, he chuckled and said:

"When I led you for the first time, I thought the Night Watch was as aloof as the Crusaders of Light, but today I didn't expect you to be an easy-to-get-together young man, so I'm relieved, Officer Besik, we are now Just go to the morgue at Lexington Hospital?”

Although he was much older than Besik, there was an obvious solicitation in his tone.

"No problem, Officer Hollington."

Besik put on his top hat again, put his hands in his pockets, took two steps, and turned around and said:

"Can you please describe the situation to me in detail on the carriage? The more detailed the better."

"That's exactly what I want to discuss with you next."

Hollington stroked his brown mustache and said in the direction of a black trackless carriage parked in the square: "Get on the bus and chat!"

This black carriage is a carriage specially hired by the police station to handle cases. It has the "Holy Sword Crown" coat of arms painted on the roof and both sides. It is the official symbol of the Kingdom of Ghent.

"We should have handled the case in a place like a hospital, but it seems to involve supernatural factors, so we have to ask for help from you."

As soon as Hollington sat down, he couldn't wait to explain to Besik. He took out the document bag from the briefcase behind him, untied the rope, pulled out the information, and handed it over.

"I know that Lexington Public Hospital is also the jurisdiction of our night watchmen. Leave this matter to us." Besik took the document and said with a gentle smile.

He unfolded the document and glanced at it lazily. When he saw the first line of words, his eyebrows frowned unconsciously.

"Is the morgue haunted?"
