Just listen to Abraham go on to say:

"Regarding the brooch left behind by Sally, the researchers of the church have just come to the conclusion that it should be one of a set of magical items or seals, and the specific function must be confirmed when all of them are collected.

"That's why John pretended to be me yesterday and took the risk to take that brooch.

"So I'm guessing that the brooch should be a very important or powerful weapon. ”

After walking out of Abraham's office, Wardhouse led Chris to the Lord's Mansion in the North End.

Hearing that the chief captain of the Church of the Gods of Machines and Wisdom had arrived, the Earl of Wellington immediately put down his official duties and met with the two guests in the meeting room.

Wardhouse handed the top hat and cane to the servant who had come up, and sat down with Chris.

Wardhouse begins by explaining:

"Hello Lord Castle, I'm Wardhouse Hawke, and I'm next to me as the vice-captain of our fifth 'Punisher' squad, Chris Simon. ”

Wellington smiled and nodded at Chris, who hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.

Because when he came in, Chris had already put on the "mask of hypocrisy" and reverted to his previous face.

Otherwise, with his current face similar to Sophia, it would definitely arouse Wellington's suspicions, and this vest would be considered to be off.

Looking at Chris's immature and ordinary, even rustic face, Wellington only felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he didn't think deeply.

After all, as the lord of a city, he saw too many people every day.

Because it was only a quick glimpse last time, today was the first time Chris had seen the lord of Federenburg, the Earl of Wellington, his so-called biological father.

The man in his forties looked very well kept, only in his early thirties, wearing a long Frac gown with a white shirt and a silk waistcoat embroidered with gold thread.

He has a delicate short beard under his chin and two neatly trimmed mustaches on his lips.

With blonde hair neatly combed back, light blue eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips, he is as handsome and charming as rumored.

If Chris doesn't wear the "hypocrisy mask" now, then it can be seen that Chris and Wellington still have three points of similarity.

"That's right, Lord Castle. ”

Wardhouse gets straight to the point:

"I have come today for two reasons, the first is that we have confirmed that your wife, Sally Carroll, is actually a member of the secret organization 'Gates of Hades', and she is not low.

"She was the one who killed your first lady back then, and she also killed and took away your and Mrs. Sophia's second child. ”

Speaking of this, Wardhouse saw Wellington's face blue and his fingers clenched unnaturally, but surprisingly not surprised or angry, it seemed that he had known about this for a long time.

Wardhouse went on to say:

"Not only that, but she is also a Sequence 6 of the 'Witch' path, the powerful 'Witch of Calamity'!

"But don't worry, Lord Castle Lord, just yesterday, we 'Punishers' and Lady Sally had a big battle.

"One of the squad leaders lost his right foot, one of the members lost an eye, and the other team had been turned to powder. ”

I saw Wellington pretend to be angry and said loudly:

"It's a shame that something like this can happen, I let an evil and vicious murderer stay by my side for so many years!"

Then, as if noticing his gaffe, he coughed deliberately and said gratefully:

"I am very grateful to the Church of the God of Machines and Intelligence, and I will definitely make amends for the injured members of the 'Punisher' to express my apologies and gratitude. ”

Wardhouse shook his head and said:

"There is no need to compensate, this is the duty of our 'punishers', but it is the second thing, and we still need your help from the city lord. ”

Wellington took the tea from the servant, took a sip of it, and then looked at Wardhouse with a smile and said:

"If there's anything we need help with, just ask. ”

Chris had to marvel at the acting skills of these nobles, and in just a sip of tea, the surprise and anger on the face of the city lord towards Sally was gone.

It is understandable that Wardhouse refused Wellington's compensation, after all, the last thing the church lacks is money, and the most profitable way for "scholars" of all the ways is in the Church of the God of Machines and Intelligence. Using monetary compensation in exchange for some favors, the corps is very wise.

Just when Chris was thinking about a little calculation, Wardhouse looked at Wellington and smiled:

Because Sally used the special extraordinary ability of the "Witch of Calamity" to expose the filth and garbage of the entire city, and then the abnormal plague broke out.

"Although we have some people who have stopped the spread of this plague in time, the root cause is still the sewage and garbage in the city, so the government needs to step in and vigorously clean up the environmental pollution problem in Federenburg.

"I don't know what you think about this matter, Lord Lord?"

Wellington picked up the teacup again, and after quickly going through the pros and cons of this matter and the material and financial resources required, he put down the teacup and smiled:

"This is a natural thing to do, Captain, don't worry, you 'punishers' only need to arrest those hateful criminals, and the rest will be left to us. ”

Chris said in his heart, this matter is thankless on the surface, but it is easy to gain fame and publicity.

Especially in this great calamity, which plunged the whole city into it, the Earl of Wellington was simply a clever steal of the credit of the church.

After the government stepped forward and contributed money and people to vigorously rectify the environment, the people naturally thought that the subsidence of the plague was also the credit of the city lord and the government, after all, no one knew any witch Caroline.

After discussing the matter, Wardhouse exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Earl of Wellington, and then left the City Lord's Mansion with Chris.

Watching the two leave, Wellington beckoned and commanded his personal valet Brant:

"Go get Zach here, I've got something to ask him. ”

"Yes, sir. Brant respectfully bent back, and within a few minutes, Zach strode over.

"What do you command, Lord Earl?" Zach saluted, and stood straight in front of Wellington.
