I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"A commission from my family?" Shenji's voice was full of confusion, "What commission? When was it sent? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"The report to the captain came yesterday afternoon. Because the specific information was only delivered this morning, and you came back today, so-"

The most reliable person in the team is "Judgment", followed by the adjutant "Chariot". Since "Chariot" said so, Shinji has no intention of pursuing it.

"What about the content of the commission?"

"Crunt against a certain family group under Oteng Luoxie."

"The dependent group. Is it that 'White Feather'?"

Shinji thought of his encounter with Lorelaia last fall. That night she appeared alone in the Gertler family in order to obtain information about a second-generation family member of the "White Wing Lord", and the code name of this family member was "White Feather", the white feather attached to the "White Wing".

"Yes." "Chariot" nodded, "Our family has been keeping an eye on this dead disciple since last year, and finally got a piece of very credible information not long ago - 'White Feather' will leave Oten in the near future. Rocher's territory, heading to the Po River plain in northern Italy, is suspected to be related to the 'Night of Varzia' that occurred last winter."

"Night of Varzia", ​​the thirteenth seat of the "Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles", known as the "King of False Words", the magician of nightmares, in Chinese terms, the ghost in "sneaky".

This is an ancestor who is full of controversy. Whether it is the Magic Association, the Templar Church, or the Dead Apostle's own circle, there is no more information about the "Night of Varzia". Even the true face of this ancestor, no, It's not even sure whether he is a Dead Apostle or not.

All we know is that on a full moon night, as rumored, Vlad the Vampire appeared in a village in Varkia. When the knights of the church arrived, only pieces of human skin were left in the village scattered on the road. This nightmare night has since been called "Wallachia Night".

Of course, as a senior chef, Shinji knew the details of "Night of Varzia" very well. After all, in the Yueji chef circle, especially in the Yueji chef circle, this person is quite popular. He has names such as "Uncle Wa", "Yan Yidi", "the man who makes the impossible possible" and "as long as you want, even a god can do it" Pulled out to join the war" and a series of nicknames.

His real name is Zepia Eltram Oberon. He was born in the Atlas Academy, one of the three major departments of the Magic Association. He is an outstanding alchemist named "Atlasia". Forecasting the future of human extinction, they began to use all possible means to try to find a way to avoid that future - the alchemists named "Atlas" were all obsessed with making the impossible possible.

However, no matter how much he tried, Zepia couldn't find a way to avoid it, and eventually went crazy. Later, he made a contract with Elterluchi, the ninth seat of the Twenty-seven Ancestors, who has the titles of "Black Princess" and "Ancient Red", to become a Death Apostle, and made the pursuit of the Sixth Law his goal.

There are five confirmed magics in the mysterious world, but it does not mean that there are only five magics. Many magicians believe that there are other magics besides the five magics, and Zepia is one of them.

Unfortunately, this challenge ended in failure. After failing to challenge the Sixth Method, the powerful spirit son (soul design) that formed him dispersed, and the spirit son liberated from his body and will spread in the atmosphere and remained in the world.

Originally, the spirit son when the fog dispersed should have fallen into "nothing" and waited for the next transformation, but Zepia completed the equation called "Tatali" before the fog dispersed. As long as certain conditions are met, "Tatali" will happen.

"Tatali" is a "phenomenon" that materializes in places that meet certain conditions according to a certain cycle.

Manipulating people's uneasiness and rumors in advance in a specific place, amplifying and condensing the common knowledge "malignant information" circulating in a small area until a clear image emerges, and then giving it an entity based on the appearance, abilities, etc. in the rumors .

If "Inherent Barrier" is to use one's own mental landscape to erode the present world, then "Tatali" is "an alternative inherent barrier that transforms the form into the hearts of the people around it into reality." That's why he is the man who makes the impossible possible, and that's why "even gods can be drawn into battle if you want to".

When "Tatali" occurs, the spirits that dispersed from the mist can be gathered in the "rumors" that occurred, resurrected in the world again, and continue to challenge the Sixth Law.

Zepia calculated the area where "Tatali" occurred until the end of mankind, and then created a navigation chart in units of thousands of years as a program for the movement of "the mist itself" after the will disappears.

The most recent "Night of Varzia" occurred last winter in a small town on the Po River Plain in northern Italy. None of the residents in the town survived, and even the crusade force sent by the church was completely wiped out.

According to the setting of "Melty Blood", Liz Byfield and the Inquisition Knights she led were destroyed in this battle. Only Liz Byfield managed to survive in Zepia's body in a special way by relying on the Holy Shield.

However, this time, Liz Baifei still stayed at Liyuan Women's College as the dean. She has never left Guanbuzi City and just escaped.

It is worth mentioning that Liz Byfield has different endings in different world lines. It is mentioned in Chapter 6 of "The Realm of the Sky" "Forgetting the Recording" that the name of the dean of Reiwon Women's College is also Liz Byfield. There is a violin in the dean's room that is often misunderstood as a small (cello). shield.

Obviously, the world line where Shinji lives is heading towards the latter one.

However, no matter which way we go, the danger of "Varzia Night" will not change in any way. Although it has been a few months since the "Tatali" occurred, it is not certain whether there is anything unclean left in the local area. Coupled with the intervention of the "White Wings" forces, it is difficult for the Clone brigade, which is still in its growth stage, to , the pressure is indeed a bit high - not because of how strong the enemy is, but because the enemy's ability is too weird, and the number of troops may be reduced inexplicably.

However, if the Clone team wants to grow, it will encounter various unexpected situations sooner or later. This is indeed a good trial opportunity. After all, it is just the remnants and dependents, not the ancestor himself. Moreover, retreating at this time will also have a certain impact on the morale of the team and the reputation of the outside world.

So should we fight or not fight?

After thinking about it, Shen Er decided to throw the question out:

"'Chariot', 'Judgment', 'Pope', 'King', 'Hermit' and 'Justice', you guys have a say and decide whether to fight or not."

His eyes scanned the six cadres one by one, and then turned to all the members of the brigade.

"When you have finished speaking, if others want to express their opinions, they can also say so directly. Everyone can speak freely and discuss the first task of this year together."
