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 of 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 have mobilized and canceled their vacations. 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 quite a lot recently. Lord Birke, who is he?"

His secretary stepped 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 Birke."

"The name Birke is not uncommon. There are many people like him in Damia. But Birke is also a special name. According to the tradition of the elves, his name should be Bill."

"Is he an elf?" Augustus asked without changing his expression.

His secretary nodded and confirmed:

"This Lord Birke is an elf from the Dark Moon Forest. His full name is Bill Sigrit. He is currently the manager of the Dusk Forest. He holds the same position as Magik before. He has a sister named Riel. She also lives in Dark Night Rose in Damia."

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

"Birke's title in the Hutt Empire should be temporarily granted the title of baron by Count Otto in Damia. It was for his daughter. An alchemist lady, Rona Otto."

Augustus pondered for a moment, then asked:

"I don't remember the elves having A surname is Sigrit? In addition, what is Bilk's occupation? It should be a druid. "

His secretary shook his head slightly and said apologetically:

"Sorry, Lord Augustus. We have no way of knowing these. The surnames of the elves are too old and mysterious. We can't master all the information. "

"There are questions about occupations. Due to the characteristics of the elves and the protection of the moon god, we have no way to investigate. We can't provoke the elves. "

After a long silence, Augustus's face rarely changed, and he eased a little, nodded and replied:

"That's right. We can't provoke the elves now."

"Any more news about Bilk?" He asked.

"I don't have much news about Lord Bilk. But there is some information about the elves' industry, the Dark Night Rose." His secretary continued.

"It is said that Florian, who is in the limelight in Damia, often goes back to Dark Rose to drink. Recently, he met friends at Dark Rose and spent the night."

"Before Florian became famous, when he was the chief of police in the Extraordinary Events Department, he often went to Dark Rose to drink. At that time, Bilk had not yet come to Damia."

"I think Florian should know Lord Bilk and Magic. He is a regular customer."

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

In other words, Florian may know Bilk. Count Otto also knows Lord Bilk.

An absurd idea appeared in his mind.
