Chapter 127: Chapter 126 Detroit Vineyard

In front of the small grove at dusk.

The voices of the clergy reciting prayers gradually faded away.

Ronald could sense that there was indeed a special magic fluctuation appearing around this man, and the process of the clergy’s ritual had definitely taken effect.

But in terms of the most direct visual perception,

under the pitch-black night sky, nothing new appeared before the eyes of those gathered.

Where exactly did the effects of the clergy’s spell manifest?

"..."

Under everyone’s gaze,

the clergy slowly finished reciting the prayer.

He stepped back with his left foot and immediately turned his head to look at the northeastern sky.

It was with this movement that Ronald noticed the serious expression on the man’s face.

The clergy’s distinct black and white pupils seemed to be staring at something in the air, his solemn demeanor not appearing contrived.

Then, with a somewhat complex tone, the clergy spoke:

"Here... there are indeed traces of a demon’s activity."

"If you need, I can start tracking his location right now."

"Then start immediately," Spencer immediately responded to the clergy, but also voiced his own question, "Though judging by your expression, is there some special discovery?"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, the clergy finally said:

"My discovery..."

"is somewhat different from what Miss Nicole previously informed us."

"Ah?"

With an unsatisfied exclamation, Nicole immediately defended herself:

"I haven’t mixed in any biases or guesses, all the information is in the mission report!"

"This isn’t an accusation,"

the clergy shook his head, speaking with an unusually serious tone:

"It’s that after performing the spell, I discovered that the one called Lama..."

"He is not human!"

"..."

Upon hearing such a bombshell, the people in front of the grove were momentarily struck speechless.

After several seconds, Patricia was the first to speak:

"So you’re saying, that guy is a demon...?"

"That’s right," the clergy affirmed, looking at Patricia, "He is a demon summoned to this world by a top-tier Salaman."

He explained up to this point.

Then, the clergy’s gaze quietly swept over Ronald.

...

Trouble!

Ronald noticed something and immediately realized his mistake.

From the clergy’s unguarded prayer just now, it should be that the school... or rather, the denomination’s original texts are related to Christianity on Earth.

Then under the scrutiny of such abilities,

Ronald was undoubtedly exposed!

Let’s not forget the concept of Hell in the "Divine Comedy", which is fundamentally linked to the Church!

The constantly active "Fury" must have been detected by this man.

Perhaps the clergy hadn’t seen all his secrets, but at the very least, he had noticed the special nature of his abilities. It was just that for certain considerations, the man had not yet planned to directly raise any related questions.

—In a sense,

—Patricia’s reminder just now wasn’t wrong at all.

Even before tracking down Lama, Ronald’s abilities had already been laid bare...

"..."

"Continue tracking."

While Ronald was contemplating his next course of action, the investigator in reality had no thoughts of wasting time. Upon hearing the clergy’s information, Spencer immediately said:

"No matter if he’s human or demon, since he has violated the law on Gride’s territory, he must face our punishment, even those who summoned him to this world cannot escape the accountability of the investigation bureau."

"The culprit only appeared here this afternoon, so let’s act quickly and try to catch him off guard before he can react!"

"Does everyone agree?"

"Of course."

The other few immediately agreed with Spencer’s decision.

In this matter, the investigators were quite united in their thinking.

Subsequently, all eyes turned to the clergy.

"If that’s what you wish, then naturally I will offer my help."

The clergymen nodded and voluntarily walked over to the side.

"However, if you want to locate the chief culprit who summoned this demon, you’ll need to control that demon called Lama afterward; otherwise, the subsequent investigation cannot commence."

As they discussed strategies for what would come next,

everyone followed the clergy in the direction of the northeast.

After the recent incantation, the man seemed to have obtained some sort of special visual ability, his profound eyes constantly roving through the air, tracking the trajectory of something.

Before leaving, however, Patricia didn’t forget to shout to the driver at the side:

"Sir, you can go home now."

"This is your pay for tonight."

As she spoke, the young lady took a small purse from her upper garment pocket and threw it towards the driver.

"Thank you kindly, madam!"

He counted the money in the purse.

The driver then ran to his pitiful carriage.

He didn’t take his place on the driver’s seat but instead took out the reins and slowly led the horse toward Berenwich.

Under the starry night—

A group of six set off in a direction away from Berenwich.

Three investigators, a clergymen, Ronald, and Patricia.

A team that was formidable in every sense of the word, advanced steadily under the clergy’s lead.

On the outskirts of Berenwich on a winter’s night, the surroundings were silent and cold.

Farther in the northeast direction were mountains and a large forest.

After covering more than five kilometers facing the distant night sky, a vague silhouette appeared amidst the nightfall.

Ronald focused his sight to take a closer look.

It appeared to be a manor-style building, with an orchard extending behind it.

Drawing closer, he could even make out the sign hanging from the manor’s gate, which read "Detroit Vineyard."

"Detroit Vineyard..."

Muttering this peculiar name, Ronald unconsciously read it out.

"To be precise, it’s a vineyard plus a winery."

At this time, Nicole next to him took the initiative to explain to Ronald:

"The official records of Berenwich show no unregistered entities with connections to the mystical side present, so if that guy is really hiding out here, that’s quite interesting."

—The meaning behind the investigator girl’s words was straightforward.

As long as there were people with supernatural abilities within the manor.

Then they would be considered ’unregistered individuals’!

The outcome was predictable...

Following Nicole’s briefing, several people shifted their focus onto the clergy.

He, the clergymen, nodded openly:

"My spell indicates that the person should be inside."

Seemingly concerned about harming innocents, a stranger investigator on the side spoke:

"Father, do you have a way to test this?"

The clergymen nodded: "I’ll give it a try."

Just like before near the grove, he once again took out the sigil from his chest, holding it out in one hand.

Then, the priest looked toward the front with eyes like torches.

With a calm tone and resolute words, he said:

"Let justice accompany me, to ambush the bloodthirsty and lurk near the innocent!"
