Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

Judging from the fanatical attitude expressed in the words of the "will" in the sword, this sage must have been very supportive of the "Dark Moon Society" during his lifetime, and did not seem like an undercover agent planted by the church.

Moreover, even if the church wanted to place an undercover agent, it would not be possible to send someone at the level of a "sage".

You must know that the Holy Light Church is an organization that is different from the religious groups that Lor was familiar with in his previous life. It does not have a supreme leader like the "Pope". All major decisions are decided by consultation among the "sages" in the holy city.

The total number of sages is not fixed. In principle, all extraordinary people above level seven who belong to the root of "Holy Light" are eligible to be selected.

To become a sage is to enter the core of power of the Church of Holy Light!

"A sage-level church member actually joined a secretive and dangerous organization like the Dark Moon Society... No wonder all records of him were erased."

Luo Er narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Also, even though the Dark Moon Society isn't what it once was, its current members are still formidable figures. This can be seen from the high-quality intelligence and supplies they traded at the 'tea party'... I'm sure many of them also belong to other organizations, and most of them hold high positions."

There shouldn't be many wild and illegal supernatural beings like "John the Cleaner" in the Dark Moon Society.

You have to know that the vast majority of illegal transcendents don't go very far in their pursuit of power; even reaching the mid-level is rare. Most still need the backing of powerful and influential organizations to gain sufficient opportunities and resources.

"That is to say... among those who attended the 'tea party' last time, besides you, there might have been other people from the Holy Light Church?" Isabella tilted her head slightly and speculated.

"It is indeed possible." Lor nodded.

However, let’s not think about these things for now.

Although that strange voice told me to take it to see the "hostess" of the Dark Moon Society, I don't think I will have the chance to do so for a while... She seems to rarely attend tea parties in person, and when I made a deal with her directly yesterday, she didn't show up at all.

The most important thing at the moment is the enemy right in front of us.

"Vampire Lucinda".

Lucinda had said she would arrive in a week.

Only two days have passed, but the church's power has already been mobilized.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the residents of 'Old Net Village' should have been evacuated... For the next period of time, no civilians will approach the coast, so we can engage the enemy without any concerns."

Lor slowly relayed the church's battle plan to Isabella:

"Exorcist colleagues from the Pamel Diocese Headquarters have arrived with powerful 'Seal Artifacts,' and reinforcements will continue to arrive from other locations.

"As for Saint Angelica and Guardian Lyrian... Captain Rhonina doesn't have the authority to mobilize them directly, but they've already agreed to join the battle. If nothing unexpected happens, Guardian Lyrian, possessing Rank Eight power, will be the primary force against Lucinda."

all in all.

The trap was gradually put into place and gradually improved over the next few days.

Then, wait for the enemy to enter the game!

As for Lor himself and what Isabella would do next, he already had some ideas.

But before that...

"Speaking of which, Isabella, you were a bit reckless today, weren't you?" Lor said with a stern face. "You actually broke into the church by force. What were you thinking? Fortunately, Captain Rhonina didn't seem to suspect anything, otherwise things would be very troublesome!"

"I, I thought you were being bullied!"

Isabella blushed slightly and turned her head away: "Even when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first! You are my dependent, and only I can bully you. No one else has the right!"

61. Full Moon Night

Wednesday.

Today is a beautiful day with a calm sea.

The sound of waves hitting the rocks is soft and melodious, like a soothing lullaby.

Joyce, a member of the Gordon City Exorcist Team and a third-level extraordinary person who usually likes to slack off, used his fingers to hold his eyelids open to prevent himself from falling asleep.

Yesterday, after completing the evacuation of the entire "Old Net Village" according to Captain Luo Nina's instructions, he began to monitor the sea.

Up to now, I have been on duty for twelve hours in a row.

"Why do these kinds of things always happen to me lately..." He couldn't help but wonder, "Is it because I said the captain couldn't get married last time that made her unhappy, so now she's targeting me? No way, no way, the captain isn't such a petty person, is she?"

Think positively.

The sea breeze is so comfortable and the scenery is so beautiful. Sitting here, isn't it no different from being on vacation?

Yes, the captain is very generous and won't make things difficult for me! She gave me this great job as a reward for my years of hard work!

…No, I can’t keep deceiving myself.

"Why hasn't the relief officer arrived yet? At the very least, could someone bring me a newspaper?"

Although he complained, Joyce's bloodshot eyes were still fixed on the sea.

There was no slackness at all.

……

Thursday.

Under the arrangement of Captain Ronina, Lor, together with seniors Wolfe and Merlin from the Parmel Parish, came to the coast where the "Old Net Village" was located.

This is to familiarize yourself with the terrain, determine the ambush location, and set up some traps in advance.

"Well, this place has a nice environment."

Senior Mo Lin, who was thin and slender, nodded with satisfaction after touring the entire area.

"The coastline is short, with narrowing passes on either side, forming a funnel shape. In the center is a rambling fishing village... Does this structure remind you of anything?"

"What?" Lor asked.

"Thinking of my deceased cousin," Senior Mo Lin said with a grim smile. "Last winter, he stepped on a trap in the mountains and died from bleeding and hypothermia."

"..."

Lor really wanted to complain, how did he come up with this idea?

But he ultimately decided not to delve into it.

I don't really want to understand this senior's overly bizarre train of thought.

"He means this place is perfect for setting a trap." Senior Wolfe knew his colleague inside and out. "Just leave it to him. He's a professional when it comes to setting traps!"

"You still understand me." Mo Lin sighed.

"But you don't know me well enough. Alas, we are colleagues. I am very sad."

"Oh? Then let me tell you, how should I understand you?"

"It's simple. Just go home and observe your son more. Seeing him is like seeing me... A tiger father will have a dog son."

...Hey, that's enough!

Why is this meme coming up again? Don't you ever get tired of it?

Lor frowned and decided to leave these two crosstalk lovers for a while and go somewhere else by himself.

After all, he has other important tasks on his shoulders.

Before the battle officially begins, Isabella will also come here, and Lor has to find a place for her in advance where she will not be discovered and will be comfortable.

My eldest daughter is very delicate, and it is not easy to find a place that can satisfy her.

……

Friday.

As agreed, today is the day when the mystic Vann will deliver the goods.

Vivian arrived at the Mystic Association as promised and knocked on the door of the laboratory.

"Please come in..."

Vann lay listlessly on the table, with piles of talismans that he had just completed lying in front of him.

You know, there are more than a hundred talismans!

Fan En almost gave up half his life before he managed to finish it before the deadline!

"Thank you for your hard work. This is your final payment."

Vivian placed the purse full of gold coins on the table.

At this moment, only the rustling sound of gold coins could soothe Vann's almost overdrawn body.

"Sister, I'm really happy that you gave me such a large order at once... But, can you not be so impatient next time? If this happens again, I guess you'll have to buy talismans from someone else in the future..."

"I'm really sorry to trouble you," Vivian said apologetically. "But this is an emergency, there's really nothing we can do."

"It's an emergency? What kind of situation requires so many talismans at once?"

"This... I'm sorry, I can't tell you." Vivian shook her head, stood up and walked out the door. "If I can come back alive, I will come to you to buy talismans again."

What if I could come back alive?

Fan En was horrified when he heard this.

Is it possible that something big is going to happen in our Gordon City?

However, with Boss Lor and Boss Isabella still in this city, there shouldn't be any problems...

Thinking of this, Vann felt a lot more at ease.

Meanwhile, on the coast.

Except for a few exorcists assigned to monitor other roads, as well as the "saints" and "defenders of the faith", all the participants have assembled.

There are two fifth-level exorcists, three fourth-level exorcists, six third-level exorcists, eleven second-level exorcists, and two first-level exorcists.

……

Saturday.

After nightfall, Lor and Isabella sat side by side, facing the sea and the starry sky.

This is a cave hidden in the valleys on both sides of the village. It is difficult to be found, and the terrain here is quite high, so the scenery is quite nice.

Isabella will hide here until the war officially begins.

Lor also prepared a lot of desserts for her, which should be enough for her to eat for the next two days.

"Hmph... This place is quite romantic. I'll grant you some effort." Isabella said proudly, "But, as a servant, this is what you should do!"

"Yes, yes, Miss." Lor smiled, "It's my honor to be able to meet your expectations."

"There's just one bad thing...it's quite cold at night." Isabella hugged her knees and moved her buttocks little by little, moving closer to Lor.

"Cold? Then you've asked the right person. I'll give you a blessing to resist the cold..."

"How can you be so unromantic, man?" Isabella glared at Lor fiercely. "Who asked you to cast a spell? If you want to use it, use it yourself. I don't want it!"

"Really? No regrets?" Lor said with a wicked smile, "Alright, then I'll just use it for myself."

As he spoke, he began to mobilize his spiritual power to give himself a cold resistance buff.

"You...really don't care about me?" Isabella said anxiously, "Idiot, I'm ignoring you!"

At this moment, Lor took off his coat and put it on her shoulders:

"Who said I don't care about you anymore?"

"Huh, that's pretty much it..."

Isabella blushed and pinched the cuffs of her coat with both hands, wrapping herself tightly.

This piece of clothing carries Lor's warmth.

"Okay, stay here by yourself for now. If I'm gone for too long, my colleagues will get suspicious." Lor stood up and walked towards the cave entrance. "Put on your coat and return it to me tomorrow morning."

"Whether I return it to you or not depends on my mood!"

Isabella stuck her tongue out at him.

……

Sunday.

Full moon night.

From time to time, clouds in the sky covered the moon, and the night was bright and dark.

On the sea surface, a scarred, dull brigantine appeared silently and gradually headed towards the coast.
