Chapter 161 - Diary
Aetris—or "Kyle"—was envious of Ebner's fa, but he was a man of so heart. He adjusted quickly and sighed. "Aye, as long as they're all right, that's good..."
"Since you've returned to Backlund, don't you plan on visiting them?" Ebner asked.
"I ca back this ti to finish a task," Kyle responded, shaking his head. "There will undoubtedly be so twists and turns once my father sees it. And I don't want my mother's emotions to be too unstable during her pregnancy..."
"Mission... Is this the mission Anderson assigned to you?" Ebner asked, frowning.
Kyle paused for a ti before softly responding, "It's to finish a 'hunt'!" Fearing that Ebner would misinterpret, he continued, "Don't be concerned. The potential target is a real jerk. He's been convicted of a slew of mariti offences. He arrived in Backlund only after clearing his na and assuming a new identity... In Bayam, he has a bounty of up to 1,000 pounds."
A bounty of 1,000 pounds. Although it can't be compared to the officers on the pirate admirals' ships, their strength shouldn't be weak either... I'm afraid that the wound on Beatrice was left behind after fighting them.
Even though he thought so, Ebner did not intend to ask further. He only nodded and said, "Be careful."
After that, they talked about their respective experiences since leaving Enmat Harbor. Then Ebner looked at the ti and realized it was almost noon. He said goodbye and left the cafe.
"Kyle" seed to be waiting for soone and didn't leave imdiately.
Ebner didn't care. He bought Desi pies again in a nearby store, then ate them as he mounted the steam tro and hurried to the south side of the Bridge.
He needed to submit his budget to Bishop Utravsky.
In addition, ever since he learned that the bishop had so collections of Roselle's diary dungeons, Ebner had made plans.
Since he already had one, there was no need for him to co up with another one.
Even though it was the weekend, the Harvest Church was as deserted as usual.
Ebner pushed open the door of the cathedral and was surprised to see Madam Daly, who had blue eyeshadow and blush on her cheeks, walking out. Beside her was a beautiful lady in her twenties, dressed in a lusterless black funeral uniform.
And this lady, Ebner, also recognized her. She was Chelly, whom he and Xio had saved in the dream of the Dream Labyrinth Tower. She had even stopped Xio at the steam locomotive station in Enmat Harbor.
Chelly beca a Nighthawk? Ebner was surprised, but he made way for her on the surface. He smiled and greeted her. "It's good to see you here, Madam Daly."
He wasn't surprised that Daly had appeared in the Harvest Church. After all, at mber of Parliant Macht's family's banquet, she had likely negotiated with Bishop Utravsky on the condition of channeling Hazel.
Daly took a few steps forward, looked up at Ebner, and smiled. "We et again, Detective Bryan."
As she spoke, she pointed at the girl in black mourning clothes beside her and introduced, "This is Chelly, my assistant. Hehe, she really admires you, Detective Bryan."
"It would be my pleasure, Madam Chelly," Ebner greeted as if seeing Chelly for the first ti.
Daly looked back at the half-giant bishop, who sat at the front, praying piously. Then she turned back to Ebner. "We've got things to do. We've got to go."
"If you please, ma'am." Ebner nodded and watched as Daly pulled the hood of her psychic black robe over her head and stepped out of the church.
"I'm looking forward to eting you again, Detective Bryan." After Chelly bowed with her dress behind her, she wore a conflicted expression. It was obvious that she wanted to ask sothing more, but she forcefully held back. She caught up to Madam Daly and left the Harvest Church.
At this mont, Bishop Utravsky, who was dressed in a brown priest robe and a clergyman's bonnet, looked like a mountain. When he saw Ebner coming over, he stopped praying and smiled at him. "Child, you're here."
"I brought the budget to repair the house." Ebner walked forward and handed the receipt that Skade and his wife had given him to the half-giant bishop. Then, he casually glanced at the podium and indeed saw the paper with Roselle's text written in graceful handwriting.
This naturally ca from Miss Hazel. Ever since she was imprisoned in the Harvest Church, she had nothing better to do. She liked to copy the Roselle manuscripts in Bishop Utravsky's collection.
Ebner pretended to be curious as he picked it up to take a look. Then, he realized that it was three diary entries written by Roselle at different tis.
"On the first day of June, Florent once again extended an olive branch to . His aning was very obvious. He wanted
to beco his subordinate. However, I still pretended to be stupid and fooled him. Heh heh, even if I want to feign civility with him, I can't agree so readily. Otherwise, how can I raise my price?
However, the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact of the Sauron family that Floren ntioned today is very interesting. Not only is it alive, it suddenly ca to life without any signs. This reminds
of the Hidden Sage. Is' He 'in a similar situation?
Floren had appeared in the original diary. I rember that he was a mber of the Sauron family who was very compatible with a high-level Beyonder characteristic. After fusing with the characteristic, even his personality changed, making the emperor suspect if he had changed into another person...
Such a future upper echelon shouldn't be spouting nonsense. This Grade 0 Sealed Artifact of the Sauron family might really be problematic... However, from the contents of the diary, the Emperor and Floren should still be middle to low-level Beyonders. How could they have the opportunity to co into contact with information regarding a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact?
Unless soone deliberately revealed it... Or perhaps, it was the living Sealed Artifact's doing!"
Ebner looked at the journal, habitually analyzing and deducing.
However, even if there is a problem, it should be sothing that the emperor should be worried about a hundred years ago. It has nothing to do with ...
When Ebner ca back to his senses, he mocked himself for worrying for nothing. He looked at the diary on the next page.
"15th January. A Witch of Calamity sent herself to the door. I wonder if I should give it a try? Sigh, Huang Tao, oh Huang Tao, why would you have such thoughts? Are you really not afraid of at and vegetables anymore?"
Upon seeing this, Ebner instinctively glanced in the direction of the underground prison. If Miss Hazel knew what he was copying, he would like to ask her how she felt...
Furthermore, if he did not rember wrongly, the original line "The taste of a Demoness is not bad" ca from the "16th January" diary... He did not know if it was from the sa year.
Retracting his slightly strange gaze, Ebner turned another page.
"6th August. I t a vampire today. He called himself Cullen and said that he was willing to help
overthrow the rule of the Sauron family in his na..."
