Chapter 169: The Tracker (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"The reason I have summoned you two, besides informing you of the Cult's name, is to exchange some news... and at the same time, to tell you some intelligence."
At this moment, Aaron said seemingly casually: "Since Roberts died, the Investigation Bureau has recently relaxed its surveillance of Green Forest City, and some secret gatherings have reopened."
He did not say that there was a gathering tonight; in any case, missing one time was nothing to these two.
They would always be able to find out the news.
Liliyat pondered for a moment and said: "Thanks to your divination last time, Mr. Yasuo, the Investigation Bureau quickly found Roberts... In the incident of his death, did our Invisible Cult play a part?"
Nicholas, listening from the side, felt his pupils constrict instantly!
He had not expected that Roberts's death had a direct connection to his own organization!
'This God's Messenger named "Yasuo" not only possesses powerful divination abilities, but might have even acted directly in Roberts's death?'
"The ancestor's Mysterious Manuscript?"
Even within the Green Banyan Council, information regarding this aspect has been quite incomplete throughout the long history; although they strive to search and supplement it, the path to the Fourth Primordial Substance has always had some problems.
It was a pity that Aaron did not intend to give his Secret Transmission to him, but was prepared to let him continue his advanced studies in the "Sunset School".
Moreover, it was an extremely powerful hidden profession, far better than the "Ghoul" pathway.
Wearing a trench coat and covering most of his face with a hat, Leisinuo walked out from the darkness, a trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It seems our Archbishop Inamu also has a little secret... Who is he meeting here?"
Aaron nodded calmly.
'Case solved... It's a pity I cannot sell this information to the "Sunset School".' Nicholas sighed in his heart.
Ten minutes, half an hour, one hour passed.
Aaron looked at the two and suddenly smiled: "Forgot to introduce, this is Ms. 'White Dove', and this is Mr. 'Cleric', you should have met..."
Because the level of the Primordial Substance was too low, the "Element" Leisinuo obtained was relatively vague, but he was already very satisfied.
'Task?... Take back Sotos Castle?'
"I can provide some clues, such as Roberts dying at the hands of an Extraordinary of the 'Underworld' pathway, such as... some intelligence on our 'Invisible Cult'..."
A society determined to explore the secret of the sunset, no matter how you look at it, has some problems!
Regarding this, Aaron was quite open-minded.
"Then... the gathering is over."
'So rich!'
He hung the Horse Lantern on the surrounding tree branches, his expression became solemn, he took out tools such as a magnifying glass, brushes, and tweezers from his bosom, and calmly put on white gloves for his hands, just like a well-prepared trace investigator, or rather... an archaeologist?!
"I came, I saw, I researched!"
"This intelligence is of high value, and I can also accumulate merit in the Sunset School. Mr. Yasuo, how much price should I pay?"
If she could obtain the complete manuscript of her ancestor, she would not have to worry about Secret Transmissions all the way to the Fourth Primordial Substance.
"The content of the conversation involves secrets, which I do not know..."
"Two people?"
A thought suddenly emerged in Nicholas's heart, and he thought of the task the "Sunset School" had given him—to investigate the truth of Roberts's death!
Nicholas hesitated and said: "The Sunset School gave me a task, asking me to investigate the truth of Roberts's death..."
After all, he could even accept Percy Anias as a member; he had long since made plans and schemes for some information leaks.
Leisinuo grabbed the tools with both hands, as solemn as a doctor before surgery, and issued a declaration.
Liliyat was shocked again, letting out the exclamation of a poor girl.
Nicholas was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked: "How about 500 pounds?"
Well, after becoming an Archbishop, although the allocation of funds had some constraints, there were also a large number of black money channels.
On the other side, Nicholas was also looking at Aaron with full expectation.
Expectation and shock coexisted on Liliyat's face.
These were all the paths of the former members of the Light of Redemption.
"You did a good job last time."
In fact, it was already an unspoken rule that the Church allowed Archbishops to embezzle a portion of the funds; as long as it wasn't too excessive and didn't cause something like the Roberts incident, basically no one would pursue it.
Although this belonged to the part that Nicholas thought needed reform, he didn't mind using this loophole to accumulate capital for himself first.
"It lives up to being the most suitable ability for a detective... I heard that some famous great detectives are either 'Tower' or 'Mystery' Extraordinaries..."
Liliyat looked at this companion in shock, not expecting that he actually had the identity of a member of another secret society!
"One was Nicholas, the other was a woman..."
In fact, he could also bring out the paths of "Pupa", "Red", and "Darkness", all of which could at least reach the level of the Fourth Primordial Substance.
Immediately, he began to 'archaeologize' this environment!
This is the ability of a 'Mystery' Extraordinary, which can directly obtain some information that once existed from the environment, or even secrets!
"Two people were talking here..."
Aaron looked at Liliyat and said.
Liliyat did not think of any possibility of taking back the castle, and could only nod blankly.
"That's fine, just deposit it into the anonymous account I opened with 'White Dove'."
Aaron clapped his hands, and his figure suddenly dissipated.
"Yes, at another gathering."
Using the ability of 'Archaeology', a 'Mystery' Extraordinary can even trace history directly at a murder scene and lock onto the real culprit!
Of course, they would also be interfered with, and the specific amount of information they could obtain from that piece of history would be determined by the level of their Primordial Substance.
A point of fluorescent light flickered like a firefly, dancing between the pitch-black bushes, and arrived at the place where several people had talked before.
"Yes, a high-level member of our Cult personally ended Roberts's life."
Liliyat nodded; the "Cleric" at that time did not dress as he does now, so she did not recognize him for a moment.
Aaron looked at Liliyat again, speaking of the matter of reporting: "The Hermetic Order once obtained many Mysterious Manuscripts from the Green Forest Earl, which contained Secret Transmissions regarding the 'Underworld' and the 'Shadow'... they have reached the level of the Fourth Primordial Substance, and you can exchange for them here by accumulating merit and contributions."
Among them, the information regarding the "Red" is the most complete, already approaching the Sixth Primordial Substance.
"Alright, 'Cleric', go back and continue your infiltration, gather information on the Sunset School; as for you, 'White Dove', the mission I assigned remains in effect!"
The silent forest accompanied the faint sound of footsteps as they faded away, and it gradually returned to tranquility.
Her family could only be considered quite well-off among the middle class, and taking out 500 pounds in cash would definitely cause them serious harm.
Leisinuo did not discover that his "Archaeology" had already developed errors; there were not only two people in the local area, but a third person also existed!
"A follower?"
A Mysterious figure walked out from the darkness; it was none other than the phantom of Aaron wearing the Raven Mask!
