The old quarry east of Greenwich Park...that's a familiar place.

Back in the Rain World, I visited that old quarry to solve the mystery.

But that location was too far away as a meeting point.

Is that Kuroiwa being too cautious?

Angel immediately jumped up and down.

"Master, Master! Let's hurry to the old quarry in Greenwich Park! Lillian said that's where 'Black Rock' sells medicine!"

Angel felt that she could find clues there.

X immediately pressed Angel's head gently down.

"Angel, calm down. The old quarry is indeed where the potions were sold, but that's just a clue Caroline found during her investigation, and it may not be directly related to her identity."

Elena nodded in agreement.

"Sir Axe is right. Caroline went to the Moonlight Club to investigate the source of the potion; her true identity is likely more connected to the club. We should start with the club and try to infiltrate it."

In conclusion, both of these approaches are correct.

At the old quarry, all we can find is information about Caroline's investigation into the drug broker Black Rock... but there's a chance it might lead our own investigation astray and deviate from our focus.

In contrast, investigating Caroline's network of connections through the club would be more effective and allow for a more direct identification of the nobles behind her.

Whether from an intuitive or mathematical probability perspective, or even from the perspective of convenient transportation, the survey club is more suitable.

Angel pouted and stomped her foot lightly in dissatisfaction.

"But the quarry is right there! We can't even get into the club yet..."

Looking at Angel's slightly aggrieved expression, X couldn't help but find it a little funny.

My little one always acts on instinct, and while it's sometimes quite accurate, this time we really need to be more careful.

"Alright, alright." AX gently patted Angel's shoulder. "Let's go to the club first. If we really need to go to the quarry, we can go there later."

Angel reluctantly nodded.

So now the question is—how to get into the club.

Gwyneth, who had been listening attentively, then asked, "Lillian, you're already a player in the club. How did you get in?"

This petite fairy really got to the heart of the matter.

Lillian nodded gently.

"Actually, there are two ways to get into the Moonlight Club."

"The first method is referral from an existing member. This requires the existing member to register with the club in advance, and the referrer must be of considerable status. The new member must provide proof of their family background or be jointly guaranteed by two existing members."

"That's too difficult," Elena shook her head. "We don't have that kind of network."

Or rather, even if there were connections from nobles, they wouldn't be used for such inexplicable purposes.

"The second option is to enter as a contestant."

Lillian continued reminiscing.

"Membership requires sufficient fighting skills and winning matches within the club. Applicants must pass a one-on-one fighting test, usually against a senior fighter within the club, demonstrating sufficient skill, courage, and stamina."

Angel immediately puffed out her little chest. "Master! I can compete too! My ice flower technique is amazing!"

Angel has become arrogant.

If you think about it carefully, you'll realize that this is not very feasible.

Even Lillian, with her outstanding fighting skills, and whose abilities may even be related to physical enhancement, still needs to take enhancement drugs to achieve good results in competitions.

A spellcasting character like Angel would just be easy prey if she went in.

X immediately shook his head and laughed, "No, Angel. That kind of competition is too dangerous, and your fighting skills aren't good enough yet."

That's already a euphemism. The truth is, you don't know how to fight at all.

Lillian then reminded them, "Magic isn't forbidden during the competition. However... lacking fighting skills will put you at a disadvantage in the small arena. The space is limited."

Due to the limited space, the two sides are extremely close to each other, and only those who know both magic and martial arts have an advantage.

So here's the question: both methods are difficult, so how do you get into this club?

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Only X seemed thoughtful: "...If we can't get in using normal methods, then we can't play by the rules..."

In an instant, all eyes, including those of the fairies, turned toward them.

"What I mean is, we need to bypass this vetting system," Axe smiled slightly. "To get into the club using a third method."

Even Lillian sighed, as she had no idea there was any third way, and looked confused.

"Your Excellency, I am quite surprised and curious. Could you please enlighten me?" Ian couldn't help but ask at this point.

Ex didn't shy away from explaining this method in front of the priest and the priest-contracted fairy.

This method cannot be implemented without the help of the Church of the Holy Way.

So Ex stopped teasing him and replied directly, "It's simple, Pastor Ian."

"Now, we need to reverse our thinking... Perhaps we can bypass the club's vetting system and have the club invite us in directly."

Access from the outside to the inside requires rigorous screening.

However, if the club actively invites outsiders, then the vetting process can be skipped.

Angel's eyes lit up.

"Yes! This is a good method!"

"But how is that possible?" Elena asked疑惑地, "Why would the club suddenly invite us?"

Reminded of this, Angel also became troubled.

"Yeah, there's no reason for a club like that to invite us."

"Don't be so rigid," Ax said with a smile. "The club may not have a reason to invite us, but we can create one. Give the club a reason."

Elena and Angel immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"You mean..." Elena seemed to have thought of something, a flash of realization crossing her eyes, "We can create a reason that the club has no choice but to invite us. A perfectly legitimate reason."

"What reason?" Angel asked curiously.

Ex looked at Pastor Ian.

Reverend Ian immediately understood: "Sir, you intend to...use the aliens?"

"An alien species?" Gwyneth and Angel exclaimed simultaneously.

“That’s right.” Ex nodded. “If there are signs of aliens appearing in the club, they will definitely ask the Holy Way Society to handle it. And as unofficial members of the Holy Way Society, we can naturally enter the club.”

Elena's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"As expected of Sir Axe! This idea is brilliant!"

The pastor stroked his chin: "You want our Church of the Holy Word to help you?"

"Yes, Pastor Ian. I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ, and this investigation into the underground club is reasonable. Legally, we have a valid argument."

Perhaps it was the phrase "I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ" that resonated with him. Or perhaps, Pastor Ian also felt that the underground club had gone too far.

In short, Ian nodded seriously: "No problem. The club actually allowed the fairies to use potentially uncontrollable drugs... It should have been investigated a long time ago. I will help you, in exchange, you need to find out the condition of the fairies inside."

Monitoring and controlling the state of fairies is the core function of the Holy Order, so Ian has no reason to refuse.

With the support of the Holy Church, the remaining question is: how to create signs of the existence of this alien species?

"Projection magic," Ex said directly.

"Projection magic?" Elena exclaimed in realization. "You mean using projection magic to create the illusion of the existence of an alien species?"

“That’s right,” Ex nodded. “Lillian is still a fighter in the club, and she’s very familiar with the club’s layout. We can have her help us create the illusion of aliens appearing in the club. And projection magic is what can really scare people.”

After a pause, X looked at Lillian.

"Is that alright, Lillian?"

"I understand! I'll do anything for my master!"

"Very good... Next, we need to prepare the projection magic," Ex continued. "Elena, how much do you know about projection magic?"

"Projection magic is a high-precision spell that the Magic Association excels at, requiring precise control," Elena explained. "It can create illusions that are almost lifelike, but the duration is limited and it consumes a lot of magic power."

"So, can you do it?" Ex asked.

Irene pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I... haven't mastered it. This is a closely guarded skill of the Royal Magic Association, and it won't be passed on casually."

It won't be "casual," which means there's still a chance.

X immediately remembered the promise he made to Philomena, the fairy from the association, during their last exchange of experiences.

Perhaps this exchange could be brought forward.
