In fact, the academy had arranged a residence for each of the teachers.
Lamias, the star teacher of the Composition and Physics Department, was naturally no exception – moreover, this was an independent house with relatively good conditions.
After returning to the house, Lamias hurried back to her bedroom … She quickly found her teacher's certificate on the table.
"As expected."
Lamias shook her head, confirming that the owner of the manor didn't know her name through the teacher certificate at the beginning. But what could she do even if she proved it?
Nothing much.
She took a deep breath, then took out her phone and sent a message to the Dean of Teaching, who was also a spy. Only then did she turn on her laptop.
The communication was private, using a satellite in the sky … On the surface, the satellite was owned by a certain country, but in the dark, it served the Black Order.
Unlike the Holy Church, which had shown its divinity in front of people for thousands of years, the Dark Sisterhood, as a faith that existed in the shadows, had always been developing in silence – in that country, which only had a history of a little over a hundred years, the country's national strength could be said to be the highest in the modern world.
Because it only had a history of a little over a hundred years, the Holy Church's foundation in that land was unable to influence the national policy.
A dark red inverted cross appeared on the screen of the laptop. Not long after, the only thing left on the screen was the pale face of a middle-aged woman.
"Katarina!"
In front of this middle-aged woman, Lamias appeared very serious – even though there was a great distance between them, even though they were separated by a screen.
"Lamias." The woman on the screen … Katarina had a smile on her face. "I heard that your first operation to capture Stella failed, and after that … Fortunately, after going missing for 11 hours, you finally contacted me."
"I'm sorry, I missed out on Stella's ability in this operation." Lamias quickly said, "The power of the Holy Relic of Reversal is unquestionable. The Holy Church's [Iron Fist] Wasco could only exert less than 30% of his power in the Fallen Force Field. However, Stella wasn't affected in the slightest … This is something that has never appeared in our intelligence system, nor has it ever been estimated. "
"Now I know." Katerina frowned. "He's not affected by the force field, huh … Stella, it seems that he has indeed abandoned his original faith."
Lamias said in surprise, "Abandon faith? If he gave up his faith, how could he gather such a huge amount of Saint Energy?! "
"No, what I'm saying is that he abandoned his original faith. I'm not saying that he has completely abandoned his faith." Katerina shook her head. "This is a rather complicated problem regarding the source of power. It's a battle of faith. You haven't really stepped into the Inhuman stage, so I can't explain it to you in detail now. "
Lamias was silent … but her fingers clenched into fists under the table. She was not as good as [Inhuman].
"Should we change the next step?" Lamias suddenly asked.
Katerina asked, "What do you think?"
"I plan to continue with the mission of capturing Stella," Lamias said resolutely.
Katerina was stunned for a moment before she said, "It's rare to see you staking everything on a single throw … It seems that the new faction is indeed giving you a lot of pressure."
Katerina's face seemed to have a hint of sadness when she said this. "It's a pity that more and more people from the old faction are turning to the new faction … Now, under the madness of the new faction, it's getting harder and harder for us to maintain. That visitor from another world is really … "
"Katerina!" Lamias took a deep breath and suddenly said, "I might have found a way to let us use [Alchemy] without using [Pride's] ability!"
"What!" On the other side, Katerina was unable to maintain her calm. She lost her composure and said, "Do you know the seriousness of this matter? Lamias, I hope this is true! "
"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes!" Lamias quickly said, "I met a mysterious magician here … He might be a free magician, or he might be someone hidden by the [Magician Association]. Anyway, this guy obviously doesn't exist on our list of people we're paying attention to. His origin is very mysterious, and I saw with my own eyes that he used the [Alchemy Formation] to complete an alchemy process in front of me … I'm very sure that he definitely didn't sign an alchemy agreement with [Pride]! He used his own method to activate the [Sphere]'s power! "
"[Pride] has been going out ever since he entered the Religious Order, and he hasn't contacted anyone from the outside world. I can guarantee this. It's just that … "Katerina's eyes suddenly focused." Lamias, you leaked one of the Religious Order's top secrets to an outsider! "
"If I can find another way, then it'll offset my crime of leaking secrets!" Lamias had thought about everything. She only needed the support of the Religious Order — enough time for her to obtain a new way.
Silence.
"I can do my best to help you." Katerina nodded and said, "But I hope you won't be too late … The new faction has been getting more and more anxious recently. What else do you need besides time? "
Lamias thought for a while and said, "I'm still thinking of a way to obtain a new alchemy way from him … But his origin is too mysterious, and it seems very difficult to move him."
She didn't dare to say that the Manor Master even knew about the Holy Relic of Reversal like the back of his hand … This was information that could make Katerina, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, feel uneasy.
"Magicians have always been a group of neurotic people, and it's indeed very difficult to move them." Katerina thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, no matter what you need, I'll do my best to help you … If we can get a new way, then we don't need to continue worshipping [Pride] as a god. The new faction … The new faction is still too young. I don't dare to use any method, but Lamias, you must obtain this new way, and at the same time thoroughly investigate the origin of this magician … In short, you must be careful! "
"Understood." Lamias nodded.
Katerina was the mainstay of the old faction, and with her promise, Lamias felt a lot more relieved. It was as if the fog in front of her had been peeled away, and she had found a new direction.
"You went missing after the battle yesterday, and in view of Stella's abnormal combat strength, I've already sent the [Combat Nuns] to support you." Katerina said with a serious expression, "Since the new way of alchemy is already in sight, then we can slowly work on it. But the most important thing now is to capture a high-quality source of holy power! For this, we've been dormant for a hundred years, and we've been preparing for a hundred years. We can't afford any mistakes! "
"Understood."
Lamias closed the notebook and sighed. Her body leaned completely against the back of the chair, and she muttered to herself, "I'm afraid that for me, obtaining a new way of alchemy is the real first priority. This is my final trump card to protect myself … With the current internal situation, I'm afraid that even Katerina won't be able to hold on for too long."
'Don't disappoint me …' She thought of the young Manor Master.
Looking at the time, it was almost the appointed time.
…
…
Boss Luo had always been a punctual person. Not only was he punctual, but he would also arrive early.
At 5: 45, in the town square, Boss Luo was holding a bag of bread in his hand and feeding the pigeons in the square.
A large group of fat pigeons had gathered around him … Because of their bloated bodies, the pigeons seemed to have difficulty walking.
At this time, the roaring sound of an engine was heard.
A black motorcycle drove directly into the square … The motorcycle was like a giant beast, and the pigeons were frightened and wanted to escape.
However, they were too fat. Even if they flew up, they could only fly a few meters high before falling to the ground again. In the end, they fled clumsily in all directions.
On the black motorcycle, Lamias stretched out her legs to stabilize the motorcycle. Then she took off her helmet, and her long hair fell like a waterfall. "You're in a good mood. You even have time to feed the pigeons here."
Boss Luo just smiled and handed the food to her, "Do you want to try it?"
Lamias opened her mouth, but she thought that she had to establish a good relationship with him to obtain new alchemy methods. Therefore, she had to take the food and scatter some bread crumbs on the ground.
A group of pigeons that were not afraid of death immediately surrounded them again.
"Some people say that the pigeons that stay in the square usually don't live long." Luoqiu said with a slight smile.
Lamias thought for a while and said, "It can't be. Humans like them because they are a symbol of peace. They are reluctant to hurt them and will even feed them … It's much safer here than in the wild."
Most of the pigeons that would not be hurt were only in the West. If it was in China, it would be a different situation … After all, Boss Luo also liked to eat braised pigeons.
This was just a distraction.
Boss Luo pointed at the pigeons on the ground and said, "Look at them, they are generally much fatter than the ones in the wild. Do you know why?"
Lamias looked at the pigeons on the ground and frowned, "They know that people will feed them here, so they don't leave and don't need to look for food. They just need to stay nearby. Over time, more and more people come to feed them, and they have more food. They lack exercise, and in a comfortable situation, they won't fly anymore. Even walking becomes difficult because of their weight … In the end, they will die of obesity?"
Boss Luo smiled and said, "If there are no rules, they will follow their appetite and keep eating. They will grow and eventually become like this."
Lamias also smiled and said, "I will be the one who sets the rules."
The big clock in the square rang at six o 'clock in the evening. The pigeons were startled again and ran away comically … Boss Luo said, "It's time, shall we go now?"
"Get on!" Lamias stepped on the clutch and the motorcycle engine roared. She threw a helmet at Boss Luo and said, "Sit behind me!"
Thinking about the scene of sitting on it, Boss Luo looked at the helmet in his hand for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "If the destination is the church, why not gather at the church at the beginning … I'll go there and wait for you, Miss Lamias."
Seeing the other party disappear in an unbelievable way in front of her, only the helmet on the ground was dazzling. Lamias was stunned and speechless.
He … didn't get on?
…
…
At night, Mr. Clown was wandering around the church. A few reserve Holy Knights would occasionally appear in various parts of the church and do some miscellaneous things.
It was obvious that they were monitoring the church. Both parties were well aware of it.
"Who is living inside?" Mr. Clown asked a female reserve Holy Knight who was sweeping the floor in front of him. She was unwilling to leave even though there was not a speck of dust on the floor.
"He is a friend of Father Stella. He said that he is temporarily staying here." The female reserve Holy Knight told him the little information she knew.
She felt that the moment one of the Twelve Knights of Britain grabbed her hand, her heart began to beat faster … Oh no, it was the feeling of being in love.
Different from the male students in the Holy Church's Paladin Camp who only had muscles in their heads, the graceful Mr. Clown brought her a strange sense of novelty.
"Mai Lada?" Dagonit, who knew the name of the person living in the storeroom, was thoughtful.
He was definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, Father Stella would probably not take the risk of another attack by the Black Order and put an ordinary friend here.
But the windows and doors of the storeroom were closed. The curtains were even drawn. Only occasionally, the curtains could be seen swaying … The eyes inside were probably carefully hidden and looking at everything outside.
"I heard that the Pope of the Holy Church is old, and his body has been deteriorating recently … There is a rumor that the most popular Cardinal Torres will be the next Pope, right?"
The female reserve Holy Knight was not blinded by the sudden love. She directly lowered her head and walked away with the broom in a panic.
Mr. Clown did not seem to mind that this foreign love ended as soon as it started. He smiled and walked to the door of the storeroom.
With his superhuman hearing, he could easily hear the footsteps in the room. At this moment, he suddenly stopped.
"Today's weather is so good. The fire and the clouds are so beautiful."
After Mr. Clown inexplicably sighed, he slowly left … The curtains of the storeroom were opened a little, and a pair of eyes looked at the sunset outside.
The bright red clouds looked like dripping blood.
…
Father Stella did not seem to mind that there was one of the Twelve Knights of Britain in the house. When he cooked dinner, it was quite sumptuous.
But Mai Lada did not appear during dinner.
At the dinner table, in order to welcome Mr. Clown who came from afar, Father Stella even generously took out the Happy Water produced in September last year for everyone to drink.
In the beginning, the atmosphere was quite good. They chatted about everything until Mr. Clown suddenly mentioned something at an inappropriate time.
"Father Stella, I wonder if you are interested in coming to the Knight Organization to be our special consultant?" Mister Clown raised the cola cup in his hand and said, "We really need a talent like you! The Holy Church has no future! "
The veteran Holy Knight almost spat out the borscht in his mouth.
He had seen robberies, but he had never seen robberies in such a fresh and meaningful way … The veteran Holy Knight suddenly slammed the table and stood up. "Clown, you are going to lose your life here!"
Mr. Clown suddenly showed a bitter face. "Oh! Your Excellency Wasco, you should know that I am a clown. In order to make the humans happy, this is just a joke … Come, let me show everyone a show! "
As he spoke, Mr. Clown opened and closed his hands, and three red balls appeared in his hands. He tossed them around happily.
"Good, good, good! It has been a long time since I saw an acrobatic performance! "Father Stella even directly clapped his hands and cheered.
Wasco resisted the urge to flip the table and planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, darkness once again covered the surroundings of the church … The Depraved Force Field silently appeared at this moment!
