The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

There is a dark underground area at the back of the Cathedral of the Dalmean Order.

It goes directly underground and even crosses the Levitt River to the opposite side of the river.

Eternal darkness reigns here.

Just as there is light, there is darkness, and there is order, and there is disorder.

The Temple of Order also has its opposites.

But order is very smart. He collects and controls this disorder. Used to achieve better control of order.

Judgment Hall.

This is the name here.

There is not much above ground, but the most vicious criminals are imprisoned underground at an unknown depth. Also imprisoned are the forces of disorder.

Judgment, using order to judge disorder. Those who violate the order will be judged. .

Their targets are not exclusively cultists and heretics. It is the opposite of order.

This is not a law enforcement agency like Heipi. They strictly abide by order and use the harshest means to punish disorder.

Cultists and heretics will be imprisoned here. Everything that is disordered is also imprisoned here.

Including their dead bodies.

But since the merger of the Council of Supernatural Things and the Temple, things haven't been peaceful here.

The gangsters in the Department of Extraordinary Events were not so cooperative. It even seems disorderly. .

Although they are now nominally under the jurisdiction of the temple, they do not want to be like this secretly.

This annoyed Order.

A storm is brewing.

The current presiding judge is named Augustus, and he has not moved since he assumed this position more than hundreds of years ago.

He holds the most terrifying power in Damia and is the sharp blade of order.

He has a majestic body and wears armor as if he is the embodiment of order. Use the power of judgment and ruling to the extreme. Never show mercy in the face of disorder.

But sometimes, there is nothing we can do in the face of organized resistance.

Black-skinned senior executives are not fuel-efficient lamps.

As a seventh-level judge, the Blackskin leader is equally versed in all the laws of Dalmea. You can definitely find opportunities in the loopholes of the law.

He did not want to lose power, and Augustus could not let the order lose such power.

However, in Augustus' view, such resistance lacked awareness of the overall situation and was childish and ridiculous.

"Conduct a major review of all police officers in the Extraordinary Incident Handling Department. No one can be spared. The empire's property cannot be embezzled." Augustus waved his hand and directly signed his name on the document.

If disorder cannot be solved with the existing order, then create a new order to solve it.

This is the power of order.

Imperial property cannot be appropriated.

In fact, this is a high-sounding reason.

The more important reason is that the empire's front lines need money.

The expression on his face did not change, it was still so gloomy and serious, and he said:

"Active confessions will be dealt with lightly, and passive detection will be dealt with harshly. In addition, for police sergeants above the intermediate level, enforcement efforts must be intensified. Let them spit out everything they can."

"I understand." A secretary stood opposite him.

Even secretaries have six levels. Enough to look down on most extraordinary beings.

He answered Augustus's words with a curt nod. Then put this and that document away.

Putting the document in his hand next to the secretary, Augustus began to give instructions on the next thing:

"The Dalmea cult has been rampant recently. We have no shirking our responsibility. But now that there is a shortage of manpower, all members of the Judgment Hall are mobilized and their vacations are canceled. I don't want cultists to be rampant again before the wedding of Grand Duke Eton."

The secretary in front of him avoided Augustus' eyes and listened to his instructions. Nodding in agreement from time to time. After hearing the news that he had to work overtime, he still raised his head and said:

"I think. Even if all are dispatched, there may be insufficient manpower. The police officers of the Paranormal Incident Handling Division will not cooperate with our operations during the review period."

"In addition, the rise of cult power may be related to the royal family and the Supernatural Affairs Committee. I'm afraid we also have to modify our policy towards enemies. For example, we will increase the threat level of cults to make everyone aware of the dangers of cults."

"All cults are cults after all. Even if they are harmless on the surface, they cannot actually hide the nature of a cult."

He opened a pile of materials in his hand, placed it on the table and continued:

"This is the material I have collected recently. Nowadays, some cult forces in Dalmea have done more damage in hidden corners than the Holy Church and the Death Seat. The anti-will has even almost mastered the underground black forces of Dalmea. ”

"The Bound Hearts also began to appear in Dalmea. They originally stayed in the north. It is difficult for us to shake Pink Paradise because it has a lot of political resources. But because of this, we must control it."

After a long silence and reading the materials, Augustus said with difficulty:

"They're eating away at the foundations of the order. But they're not monolithic. I've seen them struggle. We might be able to take advantage of that."

"I will communicate with the Pope."

He put the materials away and placed them in his hands. He raised his head while sitting upright and continued:

"There's one more thing. It has nothing to do with any of this. But it makes me a little strange."

He turned over several documents in his hand, and there was a name on the document that he circled in red pen.

All the materials were circled with a name - Bierke.

Then, he pushed the material forward and said:

"This name has appeared a lot recently. Lord Bilke, who is he??"

His secretary took a few steps forward, picked up a few documents, looked at them, and then said:

"I also paid attention to this matter, so I looked through the information about Lord Bilk."

"The name Birk is not uncommon. There are many people in Damia. But Birk is also a special name. If we follow the elven tradition, his name should be Bill."

"Is he an elf??" Augustus asked without any change on his face.

His secretary nodded and confirmed:

"This Lord Billk is an elf from the Darkmoon Forest. His full name is Bill Sigrit. He is currently the manager of the Twilight Forest. He has the same position as the previous Majik. He has a sister named Called Riel. Also in Dalmea, living in the Night Rose."

"Bilke and his sister Riel took over Majik's position on a snowy night and became the elves' stationed personnel in Damia."

"Birk's title in the Hutt Empire should have been temporarily granted a baronetcy in Damia by Count Otto. It was for his daughter. An alchemist lady, Lorna Otto."

Augustus thought for a moment and then asked:

"I don't remember that there is an elf with the surname Sigrit? Also, what is Bilke's profession? Logically speaking, he should be a druid."

His secretary shook his head slightly and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Lord Augustus. We have no way of knowing this. The elves' surnames are too ancient and mysterious. We can't have all the information."

"There is a question about occupation. Due to the characteristics of elves and the protection of the moon god, we have no way to investigate. We cannot provoke the elves."

After a long silence, Augustus's face showed a rare change. He softened slightly, nodded and replied:

"You're right. We can't provoke the elves now."

"Is there any news about Bierke??" he asked.

"I don't have any information about Lord Bilk. But I do have some information about the elves' industry, the Night Rose." His secretary continued.

"It is said that Florian, who was at the height of his popularity in Deltaia, often went back to Dark Night Rose to drink. Recently, he met friends at Dark Night Rose and spent the night."

"Before Florian became famous, that is, when he was a police sergeant in the Department of Extraordinary Events, he often went to Dark Night Rose to drink. At that time, Bierke had not yet arrived in Meiya."

"I think Florian should be acquainted with Lord Bilke and Majik. He is a regular customer."

Augustus's eyes suddenly flashed, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

In other words, Florian may have known Bierke. Count O'Toole also knew Lord Birke.

A ridiculous idea appeared in his mind.
