Is it a scam? Annick compared it with his own ritual and didn’t think it was a scam.

"What's wrong?"

"The core of the seance ceremony is to sacrifice one's body. Let the powerful biological power in the star world be injected into it. Although there is no need to pay a price for using the ability in this way, but the price of the body. If the person possessed is lawful good

Fortunately, the creature will return the control of its body to you, but if it were an evil creature, even its self-consciousness would be wiped out."

"Then what are you still collecting?"

"this."

Brandon held up a manuscript with the word "cultivating immortality" written on it in Bruguet.

Uh-huh?

Annick blinked and made sure he wasn't being blind, then asked.

"Cultivation into immortality? What does immortality mean?"

"The legendary group of people who suddenly arrived in the Silver Age, I found out from the ancient books at home. You also know that our family was once a branch of the royal family, and we have preserved many ancient books from the Frank Empire to the Charlemagne Dynasty. These people are recorded in them.

Appear suddenly, and then disappear within a few hundred years. It is said that the extraordinary people in the east still retain the method of cultivating immortals."

Can we also find traces of Tianyan Sect?

"Can you lend me some ancient books?"

"I think the old man locked him in the vault." Brandon shrugged.

"Then do you have any ancient texts at home?"

"I have this thing at home. Why is there a record of cultivating immortals in ancient texts?"

"There should be. You know Professor Leopold from the History Department. Remember to visit him when you have time. If you find something useful, remember to write to me." Annick decided to develop an accomplice, and several super-rich second-generation people helped him.

It might be faster to collect ancient texts.

"That weird old man? Okay, I've been hiding at home for several months. Those people probably don't know that the assistant teacher shared the ritual with me before he disappeared."

After hearing this, Annick understood why this classmate acted so strangely and pretended to be crazy and hid at home.

"Okay, if you have collected the original ancient texts and tried to decipher them, I can give you some suggestions. The characters in the ancient texts are different from our common alphabetic texts. They are more like the hieroglyphics of the black kingdoms in the southern continent."

"Leopold also told you?" Brandon asked curiously.

"It's a secret. After confirming that there is nothing wrong with you, I will reply first."

"Won't you stay for a meal?"

"Then I'm sorry. I don't know what the lunch at a noble family is like."

"Degenerate, I wish I could be so free every day." Today is the last day of daily work, and tomorrow and the next two days will be patrol days.

Annick stretched himself. If it weren't for the pile of materials in front of him, today would be a happier day.

"Mr. Annick, this pile is the materials I collected from the parliament yesterday." Little Bell said, pointing to a few pieces of paper in front of him.

It took more than ten minutes to flip through the materials. Unlike Annick and Old Betsey's quick writing, Little Bell's handwriting was clear and concise.

"The writing is good. Have you considered going to a grammar school? Little Bell?"

When Little Bell heard this, he grabbed the right side of his head from behind with his left hand and smiled shyly.

"I don't have Mr. Annick's wisdom, so I can only write neatly. I'm saving money for grammar school, and I want to resign after earning enough before I go to school."

"fine."

Annick recalled the content of Little Bell's materials in his mind. Only formal MPs and their exclusive secretaries could use this kind of high-grade paper. It was impossible for regional MPs to kill people with their own hands, and most MPs probably didn't have extraordinary abilities. Secretaries

It is possible that the congressman ordered his secretary to do the murder instead.

There are at least 200 members of the Kerranger Parliament, and they have more secretaries. Each member is equipped with a state secretary who belongs to the government's administrative system, and there are more personal secretaries. However, the cost of hiring a private secretary needs to be paid by the member themselves.

.But the gentlemen who can be elected as members are not short of money.

"Ah, we have at least 400 suspects to investigate." Annick made a frustrated voice.

"Are there so many?"

"Yes, our Congressman Frey has offended at least half of the congressmen. There are at least 400 of them including their secretaries."

"Then what was the cause of Smith's death?"

Little Bell's words were like a lightning strike, reminding Annick that assassinating a security company employee is of no use other than verifying the warning. In this way, the security work around the congressmen will be improved a lot, which will make it more difficult for the opponent.

Assassinated?

"I don't understand." Annick was rubbing his hair.

Making false claims in the east and attacking in the west? Or hiding something from the truth?

"Little Bell, what other family members does Congressman Frey have?"

"Well, Senator Frey has an only daughter and no other family members. The daughter is currently studying at Luke University."

That would be even more strange. If it were to attack his daughter, there would be no need to do this.

"What is the job that Smith is responsible for? Has anything been stolen from their home?"

"Let me look through the information."

Little Bell flipped through the file.

"Mr. Smith was in charge of recruitment at Dunpink, and only the wardrobe at his house was rummaged through."

Recruitment? Even more confused.

"Have the MPs had any important activities recently?"

"Yes, there is a campaign event on Sunday at the Baihua Theater in the city."

"There must be security measures."

"Naturally, the theater has only two entrances and exits, both of which are guarded by full-time parliamentary police. The venue is also guarded by personnel from Dunpink Security Company, with a total of fifty guards."

Fifty? Is it necessary?

"Ahem, do Dunpink have so many security personnel?"

"Most of the new recruits recently were rehired after retiring from the expeditionary force."

The Expeditionary Force? That is Bruguet's overseas field force, which is different from Emma's father's city defense army. The Expeditionary Force is a professional army stationed in Bruguet's main overseas stronghold. They are not at home all year round. Due to their long-term exposure to the war environment

, his marksmanship and courage are much better than most civilians.

Recruitment, expeditionary force, wardrobe, campaign, theater. Annick felt that he was about to understand the secret of Smith's death, and he was just missing the last bit.

"By the way, Mr. Annick, how do you plan to celebrate the Day of the Gods on December 8th?"

"That's it. I'll dress up like the evil god and ask my two sisters to sweep out of the room. There are still more than two months left, so I'm not in a hurry."

The Festival of the Gods is the most important festival of the year in the Western Continent, held on December 8 every year. According to legend, the day when the gods defeated the four evil gods is a seven-day holiday from the 8th to the 15th. It is also the last long holiday of the year.

The custom of Lugai is that one person in the family puts on all white clothes or covers himself with a bed sheet and disguises himself as an evil god, and then other family members use brooms to drive away the evil god.

"It's great. I don't have anyone to spend the night with this year. In previous years, it was Uncle Betsy who disguised himself as the evil god. It's a pity that this year he retired and traveled around the world with his aunt."

"Huh? Come back later." Annick seemed to have figured out something.

"Around the world?"

"The previous sentence."

"Uncle Betsy was the one who disguised himself as the evil god in previous years."
