When the investigation team led by the Tea Fairy launched an investigation into the serial killings of nobles in Venice, there were already undercurrents surging under the seemingly calm waters of the European continent.
Steel Discipline's recent activities have suddenly become more frequent. The new defeat of the Inspector General of the Holy City, Camo Botterini, has shaken his position in the organization to a certain extent. Even with the use of the Holy Cross, a flag bearer, and ten warrior knights, he still It failed to kill the blood owl and further increased its own casualties. As a result, the organization later had to decide to give up control of Reflection City and destroy it. If things are done like this, the word "incompetent" will definitely be slapped on his head. Fortunately, after this conflict, he brought back a piece of information of some value, which was that this "blood owl" was probably the "God Killer" recorded in the "Code of Discipline".
Is a prophetic book written by a pastor more than a hundred years ago enough to be trusted? No one can tell for sure, but the pastors and priests of the past generations have some ability to predict the unknown. This is a well-known thing among the Iron Commandments. For example, before Botterini left this time, the pastor said, "When the murderer appears in front of you, you will know that it is him." The result really came true.
There is a very contradictory problem here, and this problem also needs to be solved by most religions. For example, those who believe in God, since you firmly believe that this is orthodox religion, and you believe that the world you live in was built by a man who spent seven days, then you have to believe that the apocalypse will eventually come. You can't just acknowledge the good things and ignore the negative ones.
Steel Commandment also has such a problem. Since you are gathered together under the call of faith and you believe that everything you do under this banner is correct, then you have to believe those prophecies that are not good for you. You can't expect all the beneficial predictions to come true, and all the harmful predictions to be lies.
Therefore, on the issue of "Blood Owl", the method adopted by Iron Commandment is to neither deny the "Code of Commandments" nor recognize the threat of Blood Owl. This should be considered the smartest way they could come up with. Could it be that just because this guy looks a bit like the portraits that the pastor graffitied a hundred years ago and killed hundreds of our grassroots members, we should be frightened to death? Then how can we gain a foothold in front of other resistance organizations? If word of this got out, wouldn't the empire immediately mass-produce hundreds of plastic surgery versions of Blood Owl to confuse the public
Obviously, the leadership of Iron Commandment has much higher IQ and methods than the village priests who burned innocent village women as witches in the Middle Ages. To put it simply, the beliefs they talk about are just one thing. Make a set.
On the surface, he could make a gesture of ignoring it, but in actual actions, the commander of the regiment was already mobilizing troops and strategizing. With Europe as its core, the organization maximizes its strength and is ready to go. As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a moment to deploy it. Perhaps the appearance of the "God Killer" is a signal, urging them to take action... Years of management have made Steel Discipline strong enough to compete with the Empire on the frontal battlefield. Now the time is almost ripe, just wait for the world to change and great things can be done.
… …
On February 27th, the investigation was carried out for a week, and many unsolved cases around the world were uncovered, some pig farms were sealed... and nothing else was found.
The blood owl's whereabouts are still unknown. He has changed his usual rules of conduct and has not randomly gone to a big city to continue his experiments, so he is almost traceless.
No more useful information could be obtained from the three killers of Silver Shadow. Originally, the blood owl's purpose of leaving these three alive was to prove his "innocence". This may sound unbelievable at first, but it is actually not difficult to understand. According to the blood owl's logic, he can admit that he has killed ten thousand people, but he will never allow others to pretend to be him and kill one person. In short, those three people are not of much help in tracking the blood owl.
A few days later, the focus of the investigation was shifted to the issue of Colonel Malone, which was also the result of pressure from above. Although it is very important to capture criminals with danger level four, the emotions of the nobles must be taken into account, and the truth of the incident must be found out as soon as possible so that the powerful people in Venice can be explained.
Tea Fairy was very disgusted with this. Those mediocre people were always so short-sighted, and the same was true for the pursuit of Tianyi for many years. Only by virtue of his status as the Seventh Prince and the power of HL's special agent could he act freely to a certain extent. And once he encounters a case related to a noble family, the European headquarters will immediately dispatch a large number of elite soldiers and generals to work hard, without him having to ask a word, to set targets and give him death orders.
In front of the Paper Man, the Tea Fairy once complained without any scruples: "It's no shame to die when there are so many people lying on the corpses, but they don't know how many innocent lives people like the Blood Owl will cause if they run rampant in the world." "
Who would have thought that Zhi Xia snorted coldly after hearing this, and his words were even more unpleasant than the Tea Fairy's words: "A vegetarian meal with corpses? Isn't this the right word to use? I can tell you responsibly that talking about fish and meat for the common people is considered an understatement. .”
Whenever he heard similar remarks from these two people, Instructor Luka always stuck a green onion in his nose, pretending to be garlic, or simply urinated and escaped, as if he was intermittent deaf and suffering from a stubborn prostate disease. There is no way, one of the two is an emperor, his words and deeds are unscrupulous, the other is the enemy of the disgraced prime minister, and he is probably crazy. Uncle, I still want to survive in this position until retirement, and go home to enjoy cadre-level retirement salary. I've been rolling on the edge of the knife for a lifetime, but I can't let you two play around like this and get yourself into it.
Sure enough, in mid-March, when the Tea Fairy and the Paper Man were preparing to leave Europe for Chicago, Luca argued that the current situation in Europe was unstable and that they had to return to the headquarters to await deployment, so they could not go with them.
Who is the Tea Fairy? He already knew what he was thinking, so he didn't reveal it on the surface and didn't force him to stay. He was very polite to the senior and left.
Anyway, Malone's activities in Venice have been basically investigated. The remaining matters are just political shirking of responsibilities. Let the people from the European headquarters explain it to the nobles.
Eventually, a name named "Counselor" surfaced. It's not that Tea Fairy had never seen this name before, but he didn't pay attention to it. In fact, on the special plane flying to Chicago, he still didn't pay attention to this guy with a danger level of one. He knew that the reason why the blood lord changed his behavior was to hunt down the consultant. Judging from the recent reports on the struggle between the Chicago mafia, this guy called the consultant is just a second-rate thing, and he really can't be called very smart. .
Therefore, the tea fairy at this time believed that this trip would be a hunting trip that would kill two birds with one stone. As for the accompanying Paper Man, he has only one purpose from beginning to end...
