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

"Five hundred? Only five hundred?"

Ms. Hailu was stunned, and then she looked regretful:

"Damn it! If I had known earlier, I should have taken action against that house... Speaking of which, Lor, you've bought a house now, and you've been living with your fiancée for a while. It's time to get your wedding on the schedule, right? When are you planning on getting it done?"

Lor choked on a mouthful of hot tea.

"Uh, well, I don't have any plans yet..."

"No plan? How can I not have a plan? Let me tell you, Lor, a girl's youth is very short and can't wait!"

Ms. Helen said earnestly:

"Listen to me, get it done right away! We'll hold the wedding in our church, and we colleagues will make sure it's a grand affair for you! Oh, and I know a bit about divination, too. How about I help you figure out a more auspicious date?"

Lor retreated to the door with a look of panic:

"Um, Senior... I suddenly remembered something I need to investigate... I'm going to the data room!"

"Hey, don't run! Tsk, why do all you men have a fear of marriage? It's obviously a good thing, what's there to be afraid of? Are you afraid of being eaten by your wife after marriage?"

……

call--

This Ms. Helen is a little too enthusiastic.

After escaping to the data room, Luo Er breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, why not just not go back to the duty room today and stay in this data room all day...

It’s not because I’m not good at dealing with Ms. Helen.

Mainly, I love to learn.

Ah!

"Wanted criminal information from ten years ago... the Ouroboros leader... Oh, got it."

Lor found the long-forgotten information about "Black Mamba" Roland and began to read it.

The first thing that catches your eye is a portrait.

But this portrait...how can I put it?

She has delicate eyebrows, long flowing hair, soft and round features, and even a hint of girlish sweetness... To be honest, she looks a bit like the doll this guy looks like now.

Lor flipped back and looked at the gender column.

"Drawing a girl and insisting she's a boy, right?"

30. New knowledge

Thinking back to when I first met Roland, that guy kept calling me "Uncle".

I guess it's because they look like this that they deliberately use this self-proclaimed name to emphasize their true gender.

"Black Mamba Roland, a fourth-level transcendent, has the origin of 'spiritual medicine'..." Lor continued reading, "He can use his spiritual power to transform his own body fluids into potions with various strange effects. These range from poisons and addictive substances to elixirs that can cure diseases and save lives, and even aphrodisiacs..."

Strictly speaking, the source of the "magic medicine" is not the source of the disaster.

However, Roland did not join a formal supernatural organization. Instead, he founded a criminal gang called "Ouroboros", whose main activity was to manufacture and sell various controlled drugs.

"As for his bounty... only two hundred and fifty?"

Lor was a little surprised.

You know, "John the Cleaner", a third-level illegal superhuman, is worth five hundred gold coins.

You are a fourth-level person, and you claim to be the leader of an evil group, but your bounty is only half of others'... Alas, it seems you are not working hard enough.

All in all, it seems that Roland is not a transcendent who is good at fighting.

What's more, he has no spiritual power now, and no "body fluids" that can be used to make medicine... In addition, his soul is trapped in the doll, and his physical strength and mobility are very limited. It is difficult for him to pose any real threat to me or Isabella.

Also, this guy is obviously quite cowardly.

To put it bluntly, it is bullying the weak and fearing the strong; to put it nicely, it is knowing the times.

Luo immediately felt relieved.

"From the wanted list, Roland isn't a particularly evil person, but he's definitely not a good person... There's no reason to sympathize with him for ending up like this."

That guy already knew that Isabella was extraordinary, and it was impossible for him to hand it over to the church.

Just be my servant for now.

Thinking of this, Lor put the information of "Black Mamba" Roland back to its original place.

...Everything that needs to be investigated has been completed.

But it's still early.

To be honest, Lor didn't want to go back to the duty room and face the overly enthusiastic Ms. Helen.

"Well, I should go to the training ground inside the church and practice my newly learned second-level divine arts to kill time for the day... I don't have to stay in the duty room all the time anyway. As long as I don't leave the church, it won't count as skipping work..."

While he was thinking about it, suddenly, Lor discovered from the corner of his eye that a row of bookshelves had appeared in the corner of the library.

"New information sent from the Holy City?"

Lor approached in confusion:

"That's not right... This bookshelf looks old, and there's some dust on it. It doesn't look like it was just moved in... Could it be that it's been there for a long time, and I just haven't noticed it?"

This is impossible.

Back then, when I had just become Isabella's dependent, in order to learn more about the "blood clan", I came here specifically and checked all the information... It's impossible for me to have missed an entire row of bookshelves, right?

At this moment, Lor suddenly realized something.

"Could it be because I have now been promoted to the second level?"

Some secrets can only be accessed after reaching the corresponding level... This row of bookshelves may have been imbued with extraordinary power that can hinder cognition, and only extraordinary people above the second level can detect its existence!

"So, after I'm promoted again, more knowledge and secrets will be revealed to me?"

Luo was suddenly excited and couldn't wait to pick up the materials and look them up.

The content is diverse.

From unknown historical truths to the origins and characteristics of certain "sources of disaster" supernatural powers... and of course, there are also introductions to some secret groups.

The reason for keeping this information confidential is that it is more or less dangerous.

Even if one is a transcendental being affiliated with the Church of Holy Light, if their will is not strong enough, they may still be bewitched by the creeds and ideas of certain secret organizations, and then develop the idea of ​​pursuing certain wrong roots.

"The secret organization 'The Bird's Nest'... a method of advancement that masters the root of 'evil omen'... its members can influence the outcome of real-life events through prophecy, the degree of which depends on their rank... However, these prophecies are always negative, often accompanied by misfortune and disaster..."

"'Circus of Nothingness' pursues the root of 'vanity'... Its creed is that the world is meaningless, morality and principles are nonsense, and the only worthwhile thing in life is indulging in sensory stimulation and pleasure..."

Lor read this new knowledge eagerly.

After all, he is just beginning to get a glimpse of the world of supernatural powers.

Some of the secret organizations mentioned in these materials he had only heard of their names before, but did not know the details, and some he had never even heard of.

However, after searching through all the information, I did not read any description of the "Dark Moon Society".

"Well, Captain Rhonina and Senior Joyce both have some knowledge of the Dark Moon Society... From this, it seems that the confidentiality level of the relevant information should be level three."

Lor thought.

However, the captain didn't say much at the time, just gave a brief introduction.

It doesn't matter. After all, I am now a member of the "Dark Moon Society". I guess as long as I attend a few more tea parties, I will be able to find out more about this organization and the mysterious hostess.

Just at this time……

Another introduction about a secret organization caught Lor's attention:

"'Dragon Cult', an organization with a long history... Its members are dedicated to collecting all legends and relics related to the dragon race. Their ultimate goal is to revive the dragon race and restore the lost roots of the 'dragon'..."

Lor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I wonder what these guys would think if they knew that the dragon they have been searching for has reappeared and will soon be taken home by Isabella and me.

……

Lor stayed in the library all day and didn't even have time to eat lunch.

I feel very rewarding.

You know, in the world of supernatural powers, knowledge is money and secrets are power... As one of the "three major sources" of the Holy Light Church, it has a huge intelligence network and influence. As a member of the church, Lor will naturally benefit from it.

"Maybe at tonight's 'tea party', someone will be interested in this information... and may even be willing to pay a large sum of money to buy it." Lor narrowed his eyes slightly and thought.

However, even if someone wanted to buy it, Lore wouldn't just sell the information. He would at least confirm the other party's motives and purpose to ensure that the information wouldn't be used for evil.

...After it was over, Lor went to the bank to withdraw some money to use as shopping funds.

Back to the new home, I had dinner with Isabella.

Then, Lor went to the second floor with a large amount of gold coins, chose a more spacious room, drew the curtains, changed into the appearance of "Cleaning Man John", and waited silently.

Twelve o'clock at midnight.

A strange spiritual power surged out from the ancient silver coin, and a dark blue door slowly appeared in front of him.

Tonight's "tea party" has begun.

Author's words: I've been busy moving these past two days, so my update schedule is irregular, and I'll probably only be able to update once tomorrow... Please bear with me.

Once this busy period is over, things will stabilize again!

31. Conservative player, Lor

"Good evening, distinguished guests."

A zombie rabbit in a tuxedo walked out of the dark blue door.

There were live maggots wriggling in its empty eye sockets, which made people's scalps tingle.

Just like last time, two small hands fiddled with a long parchment scroll. After confirming Lor, or "John the Concierge's" appearance and spiritual power level, they handed the white mask numbered "32" to Lor.

"The tea party is about to begin. On behalf of the hostess, I would like to welcome you."

The zombie rabbit bowed slightly and made an invitation gesture.

"Hey, Lor! Remember to keep an eye out for any news about the vampires for me!"

Just as Lor was about to step through the door, he suddenly heard Isabella's voice. This time, she would still participate in the tea party in the form of "sensory sharing".

After all, we still have to go see the dragon later.

Lor let out an almost inaudible groan from his throat as a response.

As a vampire, Isabella must obtain more blood of the True Ancestor if she wants to improve her level, so all information related to her own kind is very important.

Having said that, her current priority is to continue sucking Lor's blood and gradually restore her original strength. She is not in a hurry to improve her level.

So Lor didn't need to be as high-profile as Lucinda and offer a bounty on the vampires directly at the meeting... He just needed to pay a little attention and see if other participants talked about relevant information.

…walked through the door and arrived at the tea party venue.

Lor was slightly stunned.

Because the scene before him was completely different from before!

I remember that the venue of the last tea party was a spacious and magnificent hall with red carpets and crystal chandeliers.

But this time, there was indeed an open-air lawn, with a gentle breeze and warm sunshine... Several dining tables with tea and snacks were placed casually around, and the guests who arrived earlier than Lor gathered at the tables in groups of three or four, chatting with each other.

"Hey, that's quite romantic," Isabella exclaimed. "It's clearly midnight outside, but it's broad daylight here... This alternate dimension is so convenient! With this ability, wouldn't I be able to sunbathe anytime?"

...Hello, young lady.

Since you like sunshine so much, why don’t you get up earlier in the future?

Lor complained in his heart.

At the same time, he looked around, searching for the lady No. 19 whom he met last time.

Soon, the elegant yet energetic figure appeared. Lady No. 19 was still wearing a noble hunting outfit, but the color and style were slightly different from before, so it was clearly not the same outfit.

"Good evening, Mr. 32." Seeing Lor approaching, Ms. 19 greeted him cheerfully. "That doesn't seem quite right... Given the situation we're in, should I say 'good day' to you?"
