"Tamara…" Ebner was alarmed when he heard the name. Unlike the declining Abraham, although Tamara didn't appear much in the original novels, all signs indicated that this family still maintained a high-grade Beyonder characteristic passed down from their ancestors.
"Is there anything special about this name?" Xio's knowledge of mysticism was still lacking, and she didn't know much about the history of the Fourth Epoch, even if Ebner often gave her some information.
Upon hearing this, Ebner snapped to his senses and answered after some deliberation, "The Tamara family is an angel family that supported the Blood Emperor in the War of the Four Emperors. This family originally had the Arbiter pathway. Later, after a marriage alliance with the Abraham family, they obtained the Apprentice potion formula from them. And among the Spirit Knowledge Council we encountered, there should be a portion of the Tamara family members."
Xio didn't expect the Tamara family to be so powerful, and she was momentarily stunned. After a long while, she sighed and said, "I've formed a connection with the Demoness Sect again…"
Ebner also felt that it was a little strange that he kept encountering Demonesses. Could it be that he had chosen the "Tower" card in the Tarot Club, representing destruction and restartment, so he kept encountering Demonesses and hunters?
However, despite his random thoughts, Ebner still consoled Xio. "It might not necessarily be related to the Demoness Sect… According to what I know, the Tamara family has long been divided. The Arbiter faction and the Apprentice faction are opposing each other. If the lady who saved you is really a member of the Tamara family, then from the way she gave you the Interrogator formula, she should be from the Arbiter pathway."
Although Ebner can't remember the plot related to the outside god, he still remembers the relevant information about the Tamara family.
"Then... Is this the end of this incident?" Xio thought about it and asked expectantly. Neither Ancient Dragon nor that powerful lady is the existence she should provoke. Although Xio was a bit reckless, she didn't want to get involved in such a high-end layout at all.
"Since you have delivered Ancient Dragon Stuff', it should be over..." Ebner comforted her again, but his tone was a little unconfident. At the same time, he secretly decided in his heart that next time the Tarot meeting will forge a few more pages of Roselle's diary to give to the Fool, in exchange for his 'favor' to Xio.
After talking about Xio, Ebner talked about his own experience in the past few days. Except for the part involving the gods, he did not make any reservations. He told Xio everything to let her know that the follow-up of the incident has been from the Mother Earth Church. The "Forgotten" came to deal with it.
"What happened to you is much easier than mine..." Xio was relieved when she heard this.
Easy? That's not necessarily! Although I can't remember and there is no evidence, I think the blood color I saw during the "scene backtracking" should be more intense than the "white smoke".
Ebner was thinking about it, when he heard the opposite Xio speak a little embarrassedly:
"Can you lend me the Solomon Empire gold coin in your hand for a few days?"
"I...I want to change my Luck too!"
...
On Thursday morning, Ebner was about to go out to the bridge area to do an "investigation", but was stopped by Detective Isengard.
"Teacher, what do you want?" Ebner is a little strange. The teacher is helping the police station to find the fraudster these days. He often goes out early and returns late, so he is very busy.
Detective Isengard knocked his pipe and smiled and asked, "Tonight, there is an extraordinary party at the Brave Bar. Would you like to come?"
Yes, after leaving for more than a month, I almost forgot about the teacher organizing a beyonder gathering.
Ebner suddenly thought of the "Heart of the Elder Tree" that has not been found so far, he moved in his heart and nodded and said, "Teacher, I will go tonight."
Detective Isengard seemed to see through his mind. After smoking a mouthful of cigarettes, he smiled nonchalantly: "If you just want to try your luck at the party and buy the 'Heart of the Elder Tree', then you don't need to go. ."
"Is the meeting specifications not enough?" Ebner thought for a while and found that most of the transactions organized by the teacher only involved low-sequence items. In rare cases, medium-sequence items would flow out.
"That's only one aspect. The most important thing is that your teacher and I are also asking for the 'Heart of the Elder Tree'..." Detective Isengard glanced at his student. This kind of material involves promotion, if it is true He will not give way to the appearance of.
Ebner was speechless. Before he set off to Damir Island, he informed the teacher of one of the main talents of the "Polymath" he had analyzed. He originally thought he could easily get it with the teacher's contacts. Even if I can't buy it, I will find a way to find a teacher.
It's a pity that his thoughts are only his thoughts after all. Since this road is blocked, he feels that he really has to find a way to get in touch with the blood race. But don't worry too much, his "Knowledge Keeper" rules for acting have not been sorted out yet.
"So, do you want to come to the party?" Detective Isengard asked again.
Ebner thought for a while and felt that even if he couldn't buy the materials, he would sell some charms he made in his spare time. It would be good to return the funds, so he still said to Detective Isengard: "I'm going to participate, teacher."
After getting the answer, Detective Isengard did not delay anymore and hurried out to the police station.
On the other side, Ebner returned to his room and just packed his belongings, and was about to go out, when he heard the door knock.
Ebner frowned, opened the door, and saw the male servant standing respectfully outside. Suddenly guessing his intentions, he asked, "Kenny, is there a client?"
Kenny, the servant, nodded, and replied, "Here comes a gentleman who is about fifty years old, he is very well-dressed and looks like a servant of a great nobleman."
Noble servant? Came to see the teacher?
Although the teacher is not in the office, as the official student of Detective Isengard and already famous, since Ebner is there, he has to receive him, otherwise he will appear very rude.
Ebner put down the sorted charms and other extraordinary items, combed in the mirror, and then led by Kenny to the living room.
What catches the eye is a gentleman with neatly combed light blonde hair. He is wearing a decent deacon's attire, with a few wrinkles hidden at the corners of his eyes and mouth. It is not too obvious, his complexion is healthy, and his temperament is masculine. The type of hunting and even fighting against the enemy.
Ebner pretended to greet the other party enthusiastically, and learned that the other party's name was Macy, and then went straight to the topic, asking: "Mr. Macy, I wonder if you have any entrustment to find a teacher?"
Mr. Macy smiled formulaically and said decently: "I heard that Detective Isengard is investigating a relatively serious criminal case. Time is very tight. The matter I want to entrust is not urgent, so I won't bother him... Mr. Bryan, although you are young, you have a great reputation. I believe that you can handle my entrustment well."
"You're flattering me..." Ebner felt a little hairy in his heart when he was praised. He felt that this person might have come to him, and he didn't know what it was.
Seeing that Ebner was still humble, without the arrogance of youth and ambition, Mr. Macy flashed a trace of satisfaction in his eyes, and finally said to the commission: "I would like to ask you to investigate Mr. Walter, the deacon and housekeeper of Viscount Conard. Including his hobbies, range of friends, family situation and character behavior...Although it is very cumbersome, the real employer is willing to pay a commission fee of 100 pounds for this."
Walter from Viscount Conard? This... Is this the housekeeper of the future rich man, Mr. Dwayne, right? Why should you investigate him?
A trace of surprise flashed in Ebner's eyes, and he lowered his head and thought for a while, and gradually got a thought:
I remember that Walter was in charge of taking care of the Viscount's children at Viscount Conard's house and got acquainted with Prince Edessak in the process, and he was appreciated by him...
Is this the person around the prince who is afraid of being replaced in the private investigation? Or was the butler in Viscount Conard's family who had conflicts with Walter wanting to find out about the black material?
Calmly glanced at Mr. Macy in front of him, Ebner preferred the former, after all, even the housekeeper of the Viscount would not be generous enough to pay 100 pounds if he wanted to check the black material.
"Do you have any specific requirements for the results of the investigation?" Ebner asked tentatively, in a very vague tone.
Macy smiled sincerely when he heard the words and said in a vague way: "You must be as detailed as possible, as truthful as possible, and as objective as possible. However, you can't just write the good side of the report, and consider the flaws. The Great Rosselle said, 'People will make mistakes.'"
"I see." Ebner nodded and decided to accept this order. In addition to 100 gold pounds is really a lot, he felt that it would not be a bad thing for Walter to stay away from Prince Edessak.
...
At the same time, Xio, who had just arrived in her own "jurisdiction", was stopped by a man in a black tuxedo outside a bar.
The man wore a golden mask on his face, exposing his eyes, nostrils, mouth and cheeks, making it impossible to imagine his original appearance.
The light brown eyes behind the golden mask turned, and the man smiled and said:
"I guess you don't know why I am looking for you."
His voice is deliberately dumb, but it is not extra special.
To his surprise, Xio did not show any expression of surprise and alertness. She raised her chest looked back at the masked man without losing weight, and asked: "Military Intelligence Department 9?"
