Chapter 279 Manor Dinner

North of Dillard City.

Inside Greenton Manor.

In the manor of the rich businessman Greenton, the lights were brightly lit, and the smell of men's and women's perfumes and mellow wine accompanied by a melodious melody lingered in the manor building.

There is a banquet, a dance, being held here.

Just like what Mr. Greenton did before, such banquets and dances will still be held here every once in a while, inviting the big factory owners of Diroud City, other rich people, and other figures who can squeeze into the fringes of high society.

However, this time, Yago appeared as a participant.

but

"assistant".

Of course, this is a nice way of saying it.

It would be easier to understand it as a follower.

And the condition of "free tuition" is better than nothing.

Yago, who didn't care much about these things, agreed because he had nothing to do.

and

banquet? prom?

Can "Strange Thief" make an appearance?

How to imitate and act as the Phantom Thief, Yago has never had a good idea.

The monster thief must "steal".

With the image of a phantom thief, he must steal some special things.

You can't do three hands to pedestrians on the road like ordinary thieves.

What gems, crowns and other things should be more in line with the image.

With this in mind, Yago agreed to the part-time job.

only

It's not quite the same job as he expected at the beginning.

In order to make himself look more decent, the job Yago got was——

Come with Lenshard, talk to him as an assistant in front of the guard, and leave at his command.

When the banquet was over and Runshard left, Jago called for a hired carriage to fetch him, and showed himself before the doorman and other guests.

"Things like face and vanity, no matter what class you are in, you can't get rid of them."

After complaining about Lunshad's approach in his heart, Yago shook his head, turned and left the manor.

However, he didn't intend to really leave, but planned to change his attire before sneaking into the manor.

and

Yago's upward viewing angle skipped a few passers-by and a coachman, and he was slightly puzzled.

He has seen these people.

What seems to be the situation at the manor?

Then you have to go in and have a look!

Yago's curiosity was aroused.

But at the same time.

Inside the manor, in the rotunda.

Claire and his wife were standing side by side, communicating without looking sideways:

"Have you found anything unusual?"

"No."

After answering, Gao Gen raised the bottom of the cup with his index finger and ring finger, took a symbolic sip, and then said:

"There's nothing wrong with the wine."

Jia Lide fell into silence, but her eyes were still fixed on the position of the rich businessmen, lawyers, factory owners and other people such as Greenton.

Even she could feel something was wrong.

Because, Viscount Di Lude did not show up at all.

The Viscount, who was quite "neutral" towards the church and other secret organizations, did not attend the banquet, which originally represented a signal.

Outside the manor, in a house far away from Greenton Manor, a group of people were discussing together.

Thomas, the captain of the Extraordinary team "Morning Shepherd" under the Church of Dawn, looked at the map on the table with a solemn expression.

"I have my doubts."

"Recently, Gray Pigeon has received all kinds of information. Various situations and vicious cases have appeared in Dilud City. These cases seem to be large and small, but I found that some of them are somewhat strangeness."

"The murderer who was found did not match what the witnesses saw."

"And there are quite a few."

"And on the Phoenix Road, after the bloody ritual case of the Dawles Chamber of Commerce, although the guess is not clear, it is very possible that there will be a mid-sequence Extraordinary here."

"Moreover, it may be the 'script writer' of Sequence 5."

"As evidence, the temple in the fog and the knight in the fog returned to the city of Diroud."

"The return of the Knights of the Mist squad and the emergence of the Lantern Brotherhood are by no means unrelated."

"It's just that there's no tangible, well-pointed evidence."

"Before, His Excellency the Bishop reminded me before leaving, before going to the western forest to track Matthew Payne, that the situation of the spirit mist in Dilud City is somewhat abnormal, and asked me to pay attention when the spirit wave comes."

"Combined with the case of the Dawles Chamber of Commerce, it seems that there are traces of a suspected large-scale ceremony."

"Although the suspicion was interrupted, it didn't end."

"That was just part of the ceremony, and most likely as part of the initiation."

"The message that the 'magician' specially passed on to us and to other churches also shows one thing. This may have a large-scale impact."

Hearing this, a young man next to Thomas quickly raised his hand.

After Captain Thomas nodded, he asked, "Has the identity of the 'magician' been confirmed?"

"Not sure, but we found that Viscount Diroud made some moves."

"The characters who can make him move are, without a doubt, at least mid-sequence Extraordinary."

"Why did that 'magician' lead several churches in Dilud City to gather and let us be there?"

"I don't think it's as simple as letting us clean up the scene."

Thomas said in a deep voice:

"Although there is no definite evidence, there are too many 'coincidences'."

"One coincidence is a coincidence. Two coincidences are worthy of serious doubt. Three, four, and five coincidences are chances of chance. How many do you think there are?"

As the players looked at each other, Thomas continued:

"In the Greenton Manor case, I told you before that there are many doubts. The Greenton Manor case caused by the puppet master Dennis overlaps with this incident."

"Greenton Manor is a key surveillance area."

As he spoke, he looked at the crowd seriously:

"In the past few days, the death of a pregnant woman is suspected to be involved in the blood sacrifice of the cult. The source has not yet been found, and it is very likely that it is related."

"Other churches have also realized the situation one after another. A large number of Extraordinary people have gathered. Under such circumstances, the other party may give up their actions."

"However, you can't just think of the bright side."

"If there are still problems with the gathering of so many Extraordinary people, then the scale"

Having said this, Thomas stopped.

However, the faces of the others were slightly pale, obviously aware of the scale of the situation.

A situation that the Extraordinary forces in the entire Dirood City can hardly cope with.

The tense atmosphere gradually spread.

At this moment, Yago, who turned into Longfellow, rubbed his shoulders, and walked out of the room in the corner of the manor.

At this time, his face was a little strange.

The number of Extraordinary seems to be a bit...too many?
