Chapter 64 Ince Zangwell's Frenzied Breakthrough
"...I want to make Him regret it, regret abandoning me. I am His best archbishop. Why has He never looked at me?" Ince's expression was twisted and fanatical, filled with hatred. He had always been a fanatical believer in the goddess of night, and still was, but that faith had become distorted, to the point that it had even devoured him.
"What a lament, 'The bright moon hangs high but shines not on you.' Tsk, what a pity. No matter how many plans you had, they're all ruined now!" Rosen listened with relish to Ince's series of twisted remarks, and finally said with a grin.
Ince Zangwell's expression froze instantly, and he looked at Rosen with murderous intent.
Rosen continued with a grin, relentlessly pressing his advantage: "By the way, are you aware of the Church's verdict against you?"
"I don't care," Ince Zangwell retorted defiantly.
"You will serve as an experimenter, helping Tingen prepare experiments on those unexplored magical items, until the day someone in Tingen needs to use your characteristics for a promotion," Rosen said with a smile. This was not a lie, but a genuine arrangement for Ince.
"Ha, nothing special." Ince Zangwell said coldly, still stubborn.
Rosen ignored him and looked at Dunn, saying, "Oh right, I almost forgot there's one more thing. Captain Dunn, you should also know about the Fool's Church building its first church in Tingen recently."
"Yes, I know." Dunn nodded, wondering why Rosen had suddenly brought it up.
"The church takes this very seriously. They've decided to upgrade the Night Watch branch in Tingen and appoint a senior deacon there, so they can maintain friendly relations with the Church of the Fools in the future. Since there aren't any extra senior deacons to send over, they've decided to send a reserve senior deacon first," Rosen continued.
"Coincidentally, there was a lady who, although only Sequence 7, was close to being promoted. In addition, she happened to be from Tingen. After learning about what happened in Tingen, she took the initiative to apply for a transfer order. So the church finally decided to transfer her over after she was officially promoted to Sequence 6."
Upon hearing this, Dunn clearly had a guess in his mind and couldn't help but ask, "Who is that lady?"
"You should know her. She's Ms. Daly Simone, an absolute genius. She's very talented, and the Church has high hopes for her. Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 should be no problem for her." Rosen paused, looking at Dunn who was clearly listening intently and paying close attention to news about Daly, and continued:
"Originally, if she had been transferred to Backlund at Sequence 6, no matter how talented she was, she would have had to wait quite a while to advance to Sequence 5 due to the limited supply of potions. Now, however, there are readily available materials."
Upon hearing this, Dunn was clearly pleased, pleased that Daly had a bright future.
At this moment, Ince Zangwell broke down a bit. He wasn't afraid of being used as an experiment, nor did he care if his traits were used after his death, but all of this was on the condition that the person using his traits couldn't be a genius.
Ince Zangwill hates geniuses. He once thought himself a genius, but failed to advance to Sequence 4. From that moment on, Ince Zangwill's mentality became unbalanced.
"No, you can't do this!" Ince Zangwell's voice was filled with resentment.
"Of course we can do that." Rosen looked at him with a grin and said, "You should be happy, Ince Zangwell. Your talent will help a genius achieve his goal. When Ms. Daly successfully advances to demigod someday, you will have made a contribution to her advancement."
……
After interrogating Ince Zangwell, the men did not linger in his cell and quickly left.
Once outside, they naturally encountered Leonard, who was looking at them with a mixture of wanting to say something and hesitating to speak.
"What's wrong, Leonard?" Dunn looked at his teammate with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding what was wrong with him.
Leonard glanced at Dunn, then at Rosen who was smiling at him, and recalled the being who had suddenly disappeared not long ago—whether it was an incarnation of Dunn or something else—and finally managed to stammer, "Captain, how about I take care of entertaining the two Red Gloves gentlemen, and you guard Charnes Gate?"
"Huh?" Dunn was clearly taken aback, wondering why Leonard would suddenly have such an idea.
Klein, however, understood something, and he gave Rosen a look:
What did you do?
Rosen immediately responded with a look:
I just gave him your number plate.
Klein paused for a moment, then realized something and looked at Leonard.
So this person was also originally a member of the Tarot Club?
Rosen then spoke up, "How about we do it this way, Captain Dunn? We've finished gathering intelligence on the Ince incident, and the remaining investigation doesn't require your personal involvement. We'll also be staying at the Tingen branch for a while, so it'll be good for us to get to know your team."
Upon hearing this, Dunn hesitated for a moment, then nodded after a few seconds of thought. "Then Leonard, I'll trouble you to introduce the two Red Gloves to the other people and cooperate with their investigation."
"Okay, Captain." Leonard nodded immediately.
So when Rosen and Klein returned to the ground, Leonard was now their companion.
"Hey, Leonard, what are you doing here?" Rosanne was clearly surprised to see Leonard accompanying the two red gloves.
"The captain asked me to show the two red gloves around to everyone," Leonard explained casually, then, as if remembering something, glanced at Rosen and Klein and asked, "Do you know this guy?"
"Yes, yes, we introduced them to each other when they arrived," Rosanne replied cheerfully before the two could speak. Then, as if remembering something, she added:
"Mrs. Oriana just went out on some errands and might not be back for a while. Why don't you go find Old Neil first?"
Mrs. Orianna is also a clerical worker for the Night Watch, responsible for financial matters, while Old Neil is a retired former full-time member of the Night Watch. Because of his age, he can no longer stay on the front line as before, so he is now also considered a clerical worker, mainly responsible for managing various documents and material databases.
In the original story, when Klein first joined the Night Watch, it was Old Neil who was responsible for teaching him occult knowledge.
"Okay!" Leonard nodded without hesitation. Although he hadn't confirmed whether everything Rosen said was true, given the strength Rosen had shown not long ago, if he really had bad intentions, it wouldn't hurt for him to introduce himself to everyone.
Moreover, as things stand, Rosen doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them.
So Leonard then took the two of them to the place where Old Neil usually stayed.
