Mysterious, but Naruto

When it came to Louis, Count Hall did not simply maintain a superficial level of respect.

If Louis were to choose to read the other person's thoughts at this moment, he would find that the other person's heart is always filled with respect.

That's why politicians are said to be the best actors in the world; they can genuinely believe in themselves before they can convince others.

And so, Louis watched a live performance by top actors.

Unfortunately, Louis didn't have the habit of probing other people's thoughts upon first meeting them, which made the performance they wanted to achieve much less effective.

"Alright, I have other things to take care of. Audrey, you're quite familiar with this place, so you can show your father around before going to the study to check the details."

Oh, by the way, all the rabbits on the farm outside, the ones that ate the Extraordinary Crystal and became extraordinary, I've controlled them all with illusion magic. Don't disturb them.

I will maintain this spatial rift stable for five hours. You are free to come and go during that time. I'll be leaving now.

Count Hall bowed once more in the spot where Louis had disappeared, performing a standard courtly greeting: "Respectfully seeing off Mr. Six Paths."

Ignoring the father and daughter inside the Divine Tree space, Louis returned to his home, ready to get some rest.

Although he can no longer be considered human in essence, he still lives most of his life as a human being, and the various habits he has developed during that time are difficult to change immediately.

As for Audrey and her father inside the space, after confirming that Louis had left, they began their tour of the place.

In fact, Earl Hall had noticed the towering tree outside the conference room window earlier.

He hadn't shown any unusual behavior before because Louis was present, but now he was naturally talking to his daughter.

"Dad, you mean that tree? Mr. Rokudo said it's a divine tree, possessing the power to devour the entire universe."

"Also, the bracelet on my wrist was made from the roots of the Divine Tree, and those chakra fruits also grew on the Divine Tree."

After introducing herself to her father, Audrey instinctively reached out to take his arm, but instead grasped at empty air.

Turning around, I saw Earl Hall bowing to the sacred tree.

Moreover, thereafter, almost every time Audrey introduced a place, Earl Hall would bow, which even Audrey, who always paid great attention to etiquette, felt was excessive.

Especially when compared to his family, when he went to the Church of the Goddess of Night to pray before, his father was very devout, but it was definitely less than one-tenth of what he is now.

In fact, it's not surprising that Earl Hall acted this way; despite the fact that there were no extraordinary individuals constantly guarding his mansion.

However, within this Queen's District, there are many extraordinary individuals keeping watch, including not only the guards stationed here by the Kingdom of Rune, but also members of several righteous god sects.

It was on Count Hall that a charm given to him by the Church of the Night was placed in the inner pocket of his coat.

But what happened was that his daughter told him that his family had been visited by two powerful beings.

Most importantly, these two powerful figures are not the kind who come and go in a short time. One comes every week to pick up his daughter for a secret gathering, and the other comes from time to time to teach his daughter chakra training.

Roughly calculated, it has been four weeks, or a month, yet none of the people around the other party have noticed.

Especially during this period, her daughter also went to pray with them, and church staff even came to their home for regular checks.

With such frequent checks, and those people finding nothing, Earl Hall believed there were only two possibilities.

In the face of Louis and that Fool, the so-called strongmen of the Church and the Kingdom were utterly powerless.

Either they don't value their own families, or the people they send to investigate are of weak strength.

Regardless of which of these two possibilities it was, after Count Hall's consideration, it all came to one conclusion: seize the time and cling to Louis's coattails.

Because the Righteous God Cult had been established on the continent for so long that it had long been deeply ingrained in people's hearts, Earl Hall did not think that the seven Righteous Gods were inadequate.

In reality, Count Hall did not believe that Louis could be equated with the seven gods, but rather that the other party was at most an angel.

But in this era where gods reside in their divine kingdom, angels are already the most powerful force on earth.

With these judgments in mind, if Earl Hall, the top investor in the entire Kingdom of Rune, and arguably the entire Northern Continent, still didn't know how to place his bets, then he would have truly wasted half his life.

"These must be the rules and regulations that Mr. Rokudo mentioned. They weren't here when I came last time. It seems that He must have prepared them recently."

As soon as the father and daughter entered the library, they noticed dozens of white sheets of paper posted on the wall.

This library is different from Louis's personal study. Neither the study in this manor nor the one in his villa is actually very large.

On the surface, it's only about ten or twenty square meters, and even with those hidden compartments and secret rooms, it's only about thirty square meters.

However, the book room in front of us can almost be considered a small library.

The entire space is 7 meters high, and the usable area is about 400 square meters.

Of course, this place is different from a library, so there is no need for any additional lounge. All there are are rows of bookshelves and tables and chairs for reading books.

The father and son glanced at the bookshelves and immediately realized that there were probably tens of thousands of books there.

Don't think that tens of thousands is a big number. In reality, if a bookshelf is filled with books side by side, it can hold thousands or even tens of thousands of books.

Therefore, the space here is actually quite spacious.

After all, Louis has more than just copying ninjutsu every day. As for having a clone here specifically for copying, he felt it was completely unnecessary. He could write the parts that weren't on the bookshelf when he needed them.

Although not many books have been filled yet, the bookshelves here were already divided up from the beginning.

There are bookshelves categorized by basic escape techniques such as wood, fire, earth, lightning, and water; there are also bookshelves related to bloodline limits such as scorching escape and swift escape; and there are also sections for secret techniques such as multiplication techniques and shadow imitation techniques.

In addition to the Ninjutsu section, there are also the Illusion Technique section, Sealing Technique section, Taijutsu section, Puppet Technique section, as well as the Manufacturing section and the Beast Ninja section.

Because of the sealing barrier, they could only see the corresponding names and simple notes written below the contents of the bookshelf.

"Master Rokudo has categorized all the techniques here into levels according to their learning difficulty, from easy to difficult, with the lowest being level E and the highest being level S."

And with corresponding privileges and strength, one can only exchange them for books of the corresponding level to study…

After looking through the contents of the bookshelf, Earl Hall suddenly felt that his guess might be a little wrong.

Such a diverse and complex collection of books clearly could not have been created by a single person; rather, it seems more like a remnant of a civilization.

No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't find any correspondence between the information before him and the present.

However, even among the sequences he knew, the "Wizard" and its successor, the "Scroll Professor," whose abilities were arguably the most complex and unique, could only release spells and create scrolls that were somewhat similar to them.

In the end, Count Hall could only attribute everything before him to a lost civilization, and Louis was the inheritor of the remnants of that lost civilization.

This idea gave Count Hall even more confidence in Louis.

Previously, when comparing Louis to the seven gods, Count Hall always felt that Louis was a level below.

But in his current view, Louis, who possesses an entire lost civilization behind him, might actually be able to draw upon the power of the entire civilization to rival the gods, or even ascend to the position of gods.

Thinking of this, his eyes burned even brighter and his heart pounded with excitement as he looked at the books, but he became even more cautious in his actions.

Meanwhile, Audrey had already glanced at the information on the bookshelf and went to the wall to look at the policy information posted by Louis.

All members who join the Akatsuki organization will immediately receive apprentice status and enjoy the corresponding benefits. They can exchange for books of a maximum level of D. After passing the assessment, they will receive the status of a Genin.

Genin are the most basic members of the organization, enjoying standard treatment and the highest level of books they can exchange is no more than B grade. After passing the test, they can obtain the status of Chunin.

Chunin are grassroots management personnel in the organization, enjoying basic management benefits. They can exchange for books of a maximum grade of A. After passing the assessment, they can obtain the status of Jonin.

Jonin are mid-level managers in the organization, enjoying the benefits of a mid-level management position. They can exchange for books of a maximum grade of S. After passing the assessment, they obtain the status of Kage.

As a high-ranking manager in the organization, Shadow enjoys all the organization's benefits, can exchange for books of all levels, and, with approval, can learn content from the forbidden area...

Note: The organizational levels mentioned above represent member status only for organizational management purposes and are not based on actual strength.

Audrey read through the rules over and over, learning that different levels required the completion of tasks at different times, and the permissions that different levels had for exchanging items within the organization. However, she couldn't find out which level she was in.

This wasn't Louis's oversight, but rather he felt that these ninja ratings corresponded to the classification of personnel on missions.

To put it simply, it's a security company under the head office, while Zuo Fu and the other nine stars are managers of the head office.

Perhaps one day in the future, after the organization has grown, Louis might package all the ninjas and hand them over to the nine stars of Tanlang, Lianzhen, Wuqu, and Pojun for management, and then have Youbi supervise and review them.

As for other matters such as logistics and manufacturing, they were entrusted to the management of Ju Men, Lu Cun, and Wen Qu, while Zuo Fu was responsible for supervision and review.

To put it simply, in Louis's view, the Left Assistant and Right Assistant were his secretaries and auditors, except that the Left Assistant was in charge of civil affairs and the Right Assistant was in charge of military affairs.

These people from the head office naturally won't appear in the job level evaluation of the subordinate branches.

The father and daughter did not actually stay in the divine tree space for very long.

After all, they had other things to take care of outside, so after leaving, Audrey used the ring to inform Louis.

Knowing that the two had finished their shopping, Louis casually closed the spatial rift.

Earl Hall, returning to his study, let out a long sigh of relief.

Despite his relaxed demeanor, he was actually on edge the entire time.

However, after the previous investigation, Count Hall spontaneously came up with a more reasonable explanation for some of Louis's behaviors.

The reason Louis appeared more amiable was not because he lacked power, but because of their different levels of thinking.

Louis was not a lofty god, but a brilliant civilization that once existed but was ultimately destroyed.

What Louis demonstrated was the spontaneous desire of civilization itself to spread, and his own inclusive and tolerant nature.

Count Hall even suspected that Louis might be like the legendary hermit sage, a person directly materialized from the original abstract civilization.

It was only after Louis, the embodiment of civilization, left that the original civilization that used chakra eventually declined.

The sights and experiences he had during this trip to the Divine Tree Space further solidified Earl Hall's original thoughts.

He had originally planned that if he noticed anything amiss with Louis, he would use himself, his wife, and Audrey as bait to deceive Louis and send his eldest son to the church.

But now it seems that, apart from the second son who has already embarked on a different path and can stay outside to work as an insurance agent, the whole family must join the Six Paths and become its most loyal followers.

However, there are some things to consider regarding how to do this and how to get family members to cooperate.

After all, their home is located in a central area of ​​Queens, and it's not a good idea to expose themselves in such a crowded and conspicuous place.

Especially in their household, there were far too many servants...

Thinking of this, Earl Hall quietly came to the door, slowly opened the door a crack, and looked at the situation outside the room.

Since Audrey had previously stated that she had important matters to discuss with Earl Hall, Earl Hall immediately ordered everyone to stay away.

He just didn't know if anyone had approached them during the time they were away.

Count Hall made sure no one was outside the door before pulling it open.

Caleb.

"Count, what are your orders?"

At Count Hall's summons, his personal servant appeared from around the corner in the distance.

"Hmm, no one has come near us lately, has anyone?"

"Please rest assured, only the butler came once before, saying he had an invitation to give to you, but I stopped him."

"Very well, go and fetch the lady and Hilbert, quickly."

"Yes."
