Morning June 29, 1805
"As you can see, the priest from the sea church already sacrifices 3 people. What I can tell you is that he is now advancing to become a prisoner of the abyss pathway. we still don't know where he is only that he can be seen with the leader of the reverse card gang."
Nail explained to the viscount about his investigation.
A woman can be seen sitting from an office chair opposite where nail was with golden eyes and light purple hair, body so grateful with a ruthless deminuer.
" Is it connected to the gangs in the city?"
Rodrigo questioned nail for the second time.
"Yes, I have already confirmed it using my prowess."
"Okay, thanks again for your service. You can receive the cols next to this room. After that, go to the back door like before."
" My pleasure to serve, lady of Gold." Nail bowed, showing respect before leaving.
" So are we to search where the ritual is, or do you want to hire the hunters to do it? You know that only those killers have the balls to execute a lesser without leaving any evidence."
a butler with a lean but muscular build walk toward the viscount after nail departure.
" I already have the Intel. Just call Kiah, I trust his homemade inventions than those capitalist killers.
" My lady, may I presume you just want to see his new creations?" The butler a planter pathway of the 5th sequence.
"Ed, you know that I like to see her inventions. They are cool. when I was a child, I always admired creation."
" Please, my leadge don't act childishly, his lord might crawl from his gave when he see your behaviour."
Edward reprimanded her gently.
" No, he will not infact he praised me for having a dream before."
"Yes, my lady, I assure you he did. now, back to the topic, she might blow up the whole base of the gang if you allowed her, so let us just hire a person who can suppress his explosive deminuer."
the bulter suggested.
" I hear she enjoys being teased by children. Why not hire an orphan. tell them that he will be taught engineering and mechanics to see if they are interested. and also, if they are talented, you need to keep an eye on them and, if possible, hire them when they are old enough."
rodrigo suggested a plan that could hit 2 birds with one stone.
"As always, my lady, such superb planning and strategy I will contact the light and sea church for any orphan talented enough for the task. of course, the priority is that they should still have baby fat as a minimum requirement. I excuse myself, mylady."
Edward bowed and left the mansion, but unlike Nail, he exited through the main fate of the mansion. while rodrigo continued dealing with the paperwork.
June 29, 1805 noon
Outside the Mansion
"Thank the Gods I survive that if I ever said something wrong that butler might give me a lesson about dance of death."
After some rest, Nail continues to travel south until he reaches the butcher shop. Nail seeing his old friend putting a weird traps near the allyway.
" Hey Argo, what's that you're putting. it seems out of shape."
After hearing the words, he looks for the familiar voice.
"Hey, Nail, how have you been."
Argo welcomes the man and invites him inside his shop on the second floor.
" Remember the rumour that I told you?"nail told Argo.
"Yeah, sure your news is always reliable. I sometimes wonder why the viscount did not hire you." Argos contemplated answer made Nail sigh.
" Actually I was already hired by the viscount 1 month ago I really just been busy doing all the searching, you know my sequence are more suitable for hiding and Intel so I really don't have a choice." Nail explained his predicament.
" How about me? I'm only a normal human. You look like you're in your 20s while I look almost twice as you. don't make it sound like you can't handle it. it's just part of the process." Argo exclaimed.
"I know. anyways, that rumour might be less. you see, the priest of the sea church seems to be preparing a ritual to become a third sequence of the vampire pathway. so you should lessen your trip to the red-light district and the church."
How about the orphanage and the sisters. and what is the requirement of that particular sequence? Anyway, will the sisters and children be safe?" Argo bombarded nail with questions in a serious voice.
"relax Argo I can assure you the battle will be far from the church or the orphanage.also, the requirements are virgins vitality and some other thing that I don't know because I don't belong to that type of pathway. Furthermore, I'm only a low sequence pathway. and yes, they are safe the Gods have already claimed their vitality to procreate. you know very well that Virginia has a slight difference in vitality compared to the fertile. It's like comparing a grape to a rasin." Nail explained patiently.
"Oh, so that means they can only be stronger if there is a woman around such a sad pathway." Argo seems to not address the topic of murder as long as the orphanage and the church are not destroyed or killed.
" All right, back to you. What are those weird contraptions, and where did you find them?" nows Nail turned to question argo.
"Ha ha! unlike you, my news is good for day to day life. this thing can catch 5 rats in one trap. I bought this to solve my pest problem. I don't know how this works, but it is now my baby."Argo proclaim while holding the trap.
"My friend, are you sure you did not get scamed. it just looks like a weird shape basket." Nail seems to question his friends decision.
"You can say that because you do not see this baby's work. I assure you, my friend, this thing does what I say."
"Whatever, but if it really can catch those pests, i request to purchase those things as I recently got the news that the viscount is planning to give rewards to those who catch those pests." Nails' reply seems to strike argo brain.
"Wait, the kid that invented this was also getting those rats. maybe he knows that the viscount issues that notice beforehand."
Noway, I only heard this news from viscount himself. How can a brat know this type of news. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. " Nail tell logicaly to his Friend.
"Yeah! maybe you're right. my bad for being surprised just now. you know, unlike you, my life is already old enough to have grans kids. my old brain will go to short panic sometimes." Argo explained.
"Sigh, time really waifs for no one.anyways, see you, old friend. Hopefully, we will see each other in the Lords kingdom." Nail said his goodbye before he left.
After the sun set, Grim went back to the ally next to the bridge to sell his good, which has been triple in the same spot as before. After some waiting, his previous customer comes back, this time, their guards also bought the same goods their master got. they heard from there master the effectiveness of those potion.
Mark, who has been waiting to see the boy again, asks.
"Can I buy your recipe? I promise to buy them with the highest price possible as long as it works." Mark tried to win the potion from the boy but failed.
Grim, who now has ample money to buy clothes, can be seen standing in the ally formally as if said ally have become a royal throne.
" If you want to buy it, you have to get more people to bid. You know that my master hates when talking about how he creates those things in detail."Grim now looks annoyed by Mark, thinking he needed to punch the guy before he did his supposed hypnosis.
"Of course. Well then,see you around."Mark leave, although he only gathered some gold and silver from his transaction, he already is satisfied and prepared to leave. The only reason he stayed was to try his luck with the boy.
After another successful sales girm is now in cloud nine
"After 4 days of work, I should be able to get those silver plates and the inscription. "Grim was exited and prepared to enter the orphanage. halfway there, he saw a murder in the building where he was claiming to get to the wire where the clothes that hanged.
" shit a murder, if I were a protagonist in a novel, I might save that person and become his lover. but alas, this is reality. No one would save someone like that, especially in this era of depression. it might not look like it, but the lage prostitute establishment alone proved that people in the lower class still needed to deal with this unknown feeling. maybe one day a doctor would find these symptoms to be serious. " Grim moved swiftly and quietly as to not receive the murderers attention. After some manoeuvres, Grim went back to the orphanage and went to bed.
Night time
In an apartment observed before by Grim
a priest can be seen holding a woman with a beautiful body and face. However, compared to the nobles and genetically gifted, this girl can be seen as average.
"You are going to be my sacrifice. Shut your mouth and sleep." The priest of the sea church with red eyes and grey hair who was wanted by the whole city
now look like an ugly bat without wings.
"prist Albert, why have you turned into a monster? You said that the lady of the sea will not tolerate creatures like you, please retur-"the woman was a zealous believer of the sea. her words were cut short for his beck and was choked enough to only make her lose consciousness.
" You should not have resisted the Goddess did not give me immortality, so I need to change my plan. unlike you, who is blind I see myself only as a small spec.i don't want to be that I want to be Undying and youthful. and you're my ticket in reaching my goal."
After that, the priest moved fast,exiting the qwindow and going to the sewers. no one knows where he went.
afternoon
"He really moves fast. 9he even went through the sewer to avoid detection and tracking. I will find you, Mr. bad guy, just you wait!." a childish voice can me heard atop the building. a girl in a vehicle that looks like a steam punk version of a motorcycle can be seen. After that he went north of the city to the mansion she went.
Gim did not know that he just avoided the most dreadful disaster he could imagine. because this world may not be a world of machinery but a world of mystery.
