<p>In season 1 episode 10, why did the Slain Theocracy send the Black Scripture into E-Rental? I read that it had something to do with the World Class Item Downfall of Castle and Country but I don't know why they went to that location. Were they targeting Shalltear intentionally for the mind control or did they just happen across her? </p>
