Chapter 104 The Pigeon of God
October 9, Wednesday.
Chael received news that "Hurricane Admiral" Ziringus had infiltrated Backlund.
Thanks to the reports from Hugh Deercha and Fors Wall, the official law enforcement teams were almost all informed of this.
The Church of the Night did take action, intensifying its patrols in various parishes.
Chael was also in this team, but he volunteered to work overtime.
It's understandable that young Night Watchers crave honor and newly promoted Sequence 7s want to prove their worth.
Hillston District.
The mansion of Baron Gramir.
Using the Faceless Man's extraordinary abilities, Zilingus transformed into Baron Gramir, mocking the nobleman's strange accent and the pronunciation of certain words.
"A baron burdened with a lot of foreign debt and unable to even afford to hire security personnel, yet he still keeps seventeen or eighteen servants to serve him for the sake of so-called dignity. What a foolish nobleman."
As he sprayed perfume on himself, Zilingus taunted the nobleman whose neck had been snapped on the ground.
Backlund, Queens, Negan House.
As Zillingus, disguised as Baron Gramill, walked toward the banquet hall, he happened to brush past the elegant and quiet Miss Hall.
"Hello, Miss Hall, you are the most dazzling jewel of this ball."
Following the personal habits of "Baron Gramir," Zilingus exchanged a few pleasantries and then left, intending to continue approaching his assassination target.
Audrey stopped and frowned.
When did "Baron Gramir" become so confident in front of her?
Shouldn't he, or be afraid to look her in the eye, be stealing glances at her instead?
The scent of his perfume was also problematic. Although it was the same brand, the traditional aristocratic custom was to spray perfume a few hours before the banquet, allowing the strong top and middle notes to dissipate before the banquet, leaving only a pure and light musky base note.
Why does his perfume smell so strong? It's like he just applied perfume.
His lack of refinement made him seem like a nouveau riche with no substance.
There's something wrong with this baron!
Audrey's eyes narrowed; she seemed to have heard of the ability to disguise oneself.
During a tarot reading, the "Hanged Man" said that "wriggling hunger" has the ability to change one's appearance.
Hurricane General?
Audrey was a little insecure. Could it be such a coincidence?
Anyway, I should remind my dad first, but how should I explain it?
The blonde girl hesitated for a moment, then her eyes lit up. The angel had said that reporting a problem to the church might be a good solution if you encounter one that you can't solve.
Audrey turned toward the Duke of Negan’s small chapel, then closed the door, glanced at the symbol of the Lord of Storms, and then found a corner to pray to Mr. Fool.
"Fool who does not belong to this era, you are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the king of yellow and black who holds good fortune, I beg for your gaze, I beg for your hearing."
"At the banquet hosted by Duke Negan, I noticed Baron Gramir behaving strangely. I suspect he might be Ziringus in disguise. Please pass this message on to Mr. Hanged Man, and ask him to report him to the Church of Storms."
After Audrey finished praying, she waited anxiously. After a while, she heard the Fool's voice.
"I see."
A gray, foggy space.
After thinking for a moment, "Fool" Klein forwarded Miss "Justice's" prayer to "The Hanged Man" and Mr. "Angel".
That's all he can do right now.
"I can still write to Mr. Azik."
Klein thought this was a good idea and returned to the real world to write the letter.
North District.
Chael, who was taking a walk along the Tasok River, received a message from Mr. Fool.
Zillingus is suspected of being present at the Duke of Negan's ball.
"I should probably go home soon."
Chael changed direction and continued to move forward slowly.
I casually nodded and greeted an elderly man passing by, who was wearing a black robe embroidered with a storm symbol.
St. Wind Cathedral, Joewood District.
Alger was pleased to receive news from Zilingus.
A traitor to the Church of Storms is trying to get close to Duke Negan, a key figure in the Church of Storms, with ulterior motives.
"This matter must be reported to the Church of Storms, to Archbishop Ace Snake of the Diocese of Backlund, the 'Singer of God'!"
Alger suppressed his excitement and went to report.
The Duke of Negan's residence.
Zilingus stood on the second-floor railing, watching the men and women dancing on the dance floor.
His gaze did not linger on the elegantly dressed ladies and wives; instead, it was fixed on Duke Negan, who was "chasing" the beautiful figures with his eyes.
To assassinate such an important figure.
Just thinking about it made Zilingus excited enough to raise the flag.
If the assassination is successful, his fame will resound throughout the five seas, surpassing the "four pirate kings," and he will also receive a mysterious playing card made by Emperor Roselle!
Once he finishes this one deal, he'll have everything he needs; a bright future awaits him.
Duke Negan, just die!
Zilingus pressed down with his right palm, creating a gust of wind that extinguished the candle in the crystal chandelier.
Then, streaks of wind flew past, smashing the hanging crystal chandelier to its knees.
Amidst the deafening roar, the ladies below erupted in screams.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zilingus switched to the grazing soul in "Crawling Hunger" and used a mental pierce to wound the extraordinary one protecting Duke Negan.
Zillingus leaped off the railing and soared like an eagle toward Duke Negan in the darkness.
snort!
"captivity!"
Although Duke Negan was somewhat panicked, he was also a judge of the Arbitrator Path Sequence 6. He raised his hand and waved it forward, creating an invisible barrier that blocked Zilingus's body.
After switching souls, Zilingus used the Nightmare's "drag people into dreams" ability to trick Duke Negan out of a set of skills.
His right hand, whipped by a rapidly spinning gale, stabbed towards Duke Negan.
"Unlawful attacks are prohibited here!"
The Duke of Negan was tricked and slow to react, so he could only make broad laws.
Zillingus' attack was restricted by the rules, slowing down and giving Duke Negan time to react. Instead of killing him with a single blow, he managed to wound Duke Negan's back.
At this moment, the extraordinary guards of the Loen nobles present, such as Earl Hall, also arrived, including many extraordinary individuals who had traveled through the night.
The darkness posed no obstacle to them, and they easily locked onto Duke Negan, who was preparing to finish him off.
If the first strike fails, they flee a thousand miles away.
Without hesitation, Zilingus pretended to attack the nobles the guards needed to protect, then, with a gust of wind around him, he smashed through the glass, glided away using the wind, and ran towards the municipal park. After a few more steps, he turned towards the Tasok River.
A moment later, a strong wind arose, and "The Singer of God" Ace Snake, along with several "Punishers," frowned as he looked at the broken glass that Zillingus had crashed into, and then quickly went inside to check on the injured Duke Negan.
Alger's face was very unpleasant. He had already done his best, so why was he still a step too late?
