Chapter 83 Triss Arrives in Backlund
Waking up, Evan felt refreshed. He drew back the curtains, and the bright sunlight streamed into the room, instantly lifting his spirits.
After being in Backlund for so many days, Evan finally encountered some good weather. It's just a pity that good weather won't last much longer.
Even the bedroom doesn't get this much sunlight.
Because the apartment building in the Joewood district that Evan is planning to move to is surrounded by high-rise buildings, and current laws do not stipulate restrictions on the distance between residences, sunlight can only reach the living room at most, and cannot enter the bedroom at all.
Although Evan was reluctant to leave the spacious villa, he knew that moving was inevitable; he had too many secrets.
There are too many secret organizations he needs to contact. If one day those mentally unstable people from the Aurora Society come to his door looking for him, he'll be in big trouble.
Even now, Evan still doesn't understand Robert's sequence. He can only judge based on Robert's previous achievements in the Southern Continent that it should not be lower than sequence 6, and most likely sequence 5. As for anything higher, Evan doesn't dare to think too much about it.
In any case, in the memories of the deciphered "Lord of Mysteries", there were not many high-sequence characters who appeared, and they were all very prestigious. Evan still had a lot of respect for high-sequence characters.
Furthermore, Evan has many things to do and needs a certain degree of freedom; he can't always stay in Queens, where the most official extraordinary individuals are concentrated.
When Evan went downstairs, he found that Robert had gone to the parliament early as usual. These few days were a critical period for the bill, and he had to keep an eye on the parliament at all times to prevent any unexpected problems from arising.
While Evan was eating, Butler Walker had already had his luggage loaded onto the prepared carriage.
"Butler Walker, I'll need you to send someone to clean the apartment every Monday from now on. I'm not comfortable hiring people from outside."

After lunch, Evan, who was in the carriage, bid farewell to Butler Walker and made a request.
Although he didn't understand why Evan insisted on moving to the small apartment, he still nodded in agreement to Evan's request, as it wasn't a difficult thing for him.
Guided by Evan, it took more than an hour to arrive at the apartment in the Joewood district. But as soon as he arrived, Evan regretted it, because the luxurious carriage of the Earl's mansion was a bit out of place with the middle-class style of the place and became the focus of everyone's attention.
After having the coachman who had come with him carry his luggage up, Evan quickly told the coachman to drive the eye-catching carriage away. Even so, he still received several business cards and invitations from the surrounding residents. However, Evan accepted the business cards but politely declined the invitations, as he was not here to make friends.
The neighbor who extended the invitation felt it was a pity, but ultimately didn't insist, saying they could get together again sometime.
It took Evan two hours to finish tidying up his luggage. Looking at the house that he had finally managed to clean, Evan felt sore back and aching waist. In both his lives, he had never done so much housework. The most luggage he had ever packed when traveling was just a few clothes he brought to college. He never thought that doing housework and tidying clothes would be so tiring, even for someone with his extraordinary physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people.
He rubbed his lower back, took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. He realized that it was already 11 o'clock without him noticing. He quickly changed his clothes and prepared to go to the hotel room where he had been working on the piles yesterday to retrieve the "Instigator" extraordinary trait promised by the witch "Natalie".
After leaving the apartment, Evan glanced at the coffee shop across the street, then left.
This person has been monitoring the area since yesterday, observing through the "Golden Gaze". Evan is basically certain that he was not sent by the Witch Cult, the Gnostic Society, or the Aurora Society to monitor him, so it can be basically determined that he was sent by Robert. Therefore, as long as he does not interfere with Evan's affairs, Evan will not bother with him.
Evan arrived at the hotel that had impressed him the day before in a public carriage. He thought he would only need to use one of the extraordinary properties, but he did not expect that the witch "Natalie" would be waiting for him in the room with a serious expression.
"Do you know that my sister, your lover Mrs. Sharon, is dead?"
Evan certainly knew; it was he who instructed Klein to report it, and the fact that he had finished digesting the "Assassin" potion yesterday was further proof.
But he still showed his surprise, widening his eyes and stammering:
"She's dead! How did you know? How is that possible! Who did it? Will it trace back to me?"
Natalie stared into Evan's eyes, but still couldn't see anything amiss, and then said:
"This is also what the organization wants to know. An external member in Tingen sent this message, but without further details. You need to send a telegram to Tingen in the name of your brother and MI9 to inquire about the details. Although MI9 doesn't have a fully-fledged team of extraordinary individuals in Tingen, they do have a liaison group responsible for gathering information. After understanding the situation..."
It must be reported immediately.
Evan knew this was the first time the Witch Cult had assigned him a task, one he couldn't refuse. Moreover, the task was actually quite simple for him, so he answered without hesitation:
"I'll send the telegram immediately after I leave!"
Seeing Evan's proper attitude, Natalie was very satisfied, and then said, "Besides this matter, I also have a task for you: have you heard that Mrs. Sharon recruited a subordinate in the name of the Gnostic Society?"
"No, she rarely talks to me about sectarian matters!"
Evan repeatedly denied it, while secretly activating the "Golden Gaze" to influence Natalie, making him believe that he was not lying.
Judging from Tris's experiences in the original work, the Witch Cult's training of him must have started very early on and should have been a top secret of the Witch Cult. If Evan knew about Tris, it is possible that the Witch Cult would eliminate him first.
Natalie didn't think Mrs. Sharon would dare to casually reveal Tris's affairs, so she just asked a question casually before continuing:
"According to the timeline, that member should have met with Mrs. Sharon yesterday, but Mrs. Sharon happened to be in trouble yesterday. Even more coincidentally, he took the last train to Backlund yesterday and used the emergency contact code to contact the organization."
The situation is unclear. My sister was killed without warning, and it cannot be ruled out that someone betrayed her. Therefore, we cannot make contact with her rashly.
But this person is very important, and we can't avoid making contact. I don't have a place to house him right now, so I need you to provide a place to settle him, and also to screen him, protect him if necessary, or kill him.
Evan frowned, pretending to be hesitant, but in the end he gave Natalie a house address in the East District, telling her that it was a safe house he had prepared beforehand, where the suspicious member could be temporarily housed.
