Chapter 151: A Different Dilemma (Asking for a Monthly Pass at the End of the Month)
Seeing that her young lady was clearly interested in the ghost legend, Anne glanced at the rest of the maids who were preparing hot water, combs, etc., and continued:
"The doctors and nurses wanted to ask the bishop of the church to go to Mass, but the rest of the patients were vehemently opposed, expecting to meet the ghost, and they all called it the 'clown angel,' saying that it looked terrible like a clown dressed up on purpose, but in fact it was an angel who solved the pain and suffering. ”
"This title is very interesting...... Audrey sighed with a light smile.
In the past, she must have been full of interest in this, and she was eager to try to go to the hospital through the "dream shuttle" to keep watch for a night to figure out what the so-called "clown angel" was all about, but the outbreak of war made her mood relatively low, and she felt that there were too many serious and important things to do, and she was really in no mood to explore.
In fact, if she hadn't personally experienced the air raids and seen those who were injured by them, she would definitely have a feeling that war had never broken out and that Beckland was very peaceful.
This is because after that air raid, the airship units of the Kingdom of Rune were thrown into the war, and the air defense standards of the coastal cities were all raised, and Beckland was never attacked again. At present, the battle between Fersak and Rune is mainly concentrated in three places, one is the Amanda Mountains in Wintershire, the second is the heavy industrial city cluster on the east coast of the Sea, and the third is several major ports on the coast of the Sunia Sea, and they are all in a stalemate, no one has taken much advantage, even if there are casualties, there is not much real impact on Beckland, except for the price of goods began to rise and the newspapers were always in the news, the city seemed to have returned to calm in just a few days.
But Audrey doesn't know it this way, her father and brother have been busy lately, always returning home late, or gathering a group of nobles, parliamentarians, and clergy to come to the house for private gatherings, she learned about the specific number of dead and wounded on the front line of Port Prydz and Amanda through the Night Church and other charitable organizations, and even saw some photos of the battlefield, she is trying to raise funds, contact major pharmaceutical companies and regular hospitals, hoping to organize battlefield rescue, charity medical and other things.
Who would have thought that the adventurer in the name of madness would not only take out the surplus food in the manor, but also donate an additional 7,000 pounds in cash...... Audrey sighed to herself and began to keep the maid busy on herself.
............
Bridge South District, Yuejihua Street.
Emlyn White casually donated the £10 bill to a fundraiser for a charitable organisation, pressed her top hat and walked up the steps into Harvest Chapel.
At this time, there was not a single believer in the church, but Father Utravsky, who looked like a half-giant, sat at the front and prayed reverently.
Emlyn didn't rush to change his cliché, and sat down next to the priest, intending to say something, but when he opened his mouth, it turned into "hey" laughter.
"It must be your standard Fursak's looks and stature that keep those believers from coming. Emlyn looked at the altar in front of him and said casually.
Bishop Utravsky put down his hands, opened his eyes and said:
"I can understand them. ”
"What's the use of understanding? If the war were a little more intense, and there were more soldiers killed, maybe those believers would come here and burn down the church and hang you. Emlyn still looked at the Holy Emblem of Life.
Father Utravsky shook his head slightly:
"No, they won't, they sincerely believe in the Mother Goddess, they won't burn down the church, at best expel me. If I say that I have renounced my Fersak citizenship, there will always be people who will understand me and accept me. ”
Emlyn snorted, and said without moving his gaze:
"What if Fenerport also joins the war and attacks the land of Rune in the Gulf of Diece?
"What if the Mother Earth Church calls all the clergy to be enemies of Rune?
"Do you obey the orders of the Church and turn your back on the believers here, or do you pretend that you don't know anything and continue to preach the preciousness of life and the joy of harvest as you are now, or do you directly organize those believers to make them enemies of their fellow citizens and prove their faith with blood and sacrifice?"
Bishop Utravsky looked slowly at the altar and the emblem of life on it, and did not speak for a long time.
Emlyn didn't ask any more questions, and became silent, like the priest.
The entire Harvest Church was silent.

On a colonial island, Alger Wilson, who had not yet had time to return to Passu Island, did not leave the "Blue Avenger" out of prudence, but sent sailors to take turns ashore to inquire for information.
"Captain, there is still no news that we have been summoned. A sailor, with a strong smell of alcohol, reported to Alger about the day's harvest.
Alger waved his hand and let the subordinate exit the room, and then frowned slightly and said to himself silently:
"The church seems to be taking this war a little too seriously......"
In Alger's mind, this should be a fierce and wide-ranging war, as the invaded, the Storm Church will inevitably mobilize all forces to defeat the enemy, including the "captains" scattered on the sea, and give corresponding tasks, but until this moment, Alger did not wait for orders from the island of Passo.
This is not to say that the Storm Church is passive and slack, the active church forces in the Rune army, the high-altitude deployment of major cities, and the various activities of demigod powerhouses all show that the Storm Church is seriously resisting the invasion of the Fusak Empire, but it is not desperate enough.
"Could it be that the Church wants to retain some of its strength until the critical moment?" Aldec restrained his inner turmoil, waiting for further information.
In the evening, another group of sailors returned, but this time the news had nothing to do with the war.
"Captain, there seems to be some monster lurking on this island, and many pirates say that after drinking too much, when they went out to pee, they encountered terrible things, some of them were slapped by the branches of the trees, some saw that fruit had grown on their bodies, and it was all blood and flesh, and some of them had encountered slender ghosts, ghosts with wheat grains on their faces...... "A fairly sober sailor described the rumors he had inquired about.
Ghost Legends...... Alger had no idea of finding out the truth, nodded his head, and admonished solemnly:
"Don't go out at night. ”
............
After Beckland and Port Plitz became a strange story, Klein never went to those hospitals again, fearing that he would run into Zarathu's secret couple.
Relying on his "wriggling hunger" and his ability to "travel", he expanded the scope of his horror legends, sometimes in the Sunia Sea, sometimes in the Misty Sea, sometimes to Lemburg, sometimes to Fenerport, sometimes to places such as East and West Bailang, the plateau valley, etc., and did not follow any laws, all on the basis of a momentary inspiration, some cities would go back and forth two or three times, and some would not set foot in them again.
In this process, Klein inexplicably had a strange feeling, that is, invisible tentacles stretched out in the terrifying darkness, or tracking his whereabouts, or trying to predict, intercepting in advance, silent and cold, once they were entangled, the result was unimaginable.
Klein knew that this might be the "search" from Zarathu, and his best way was to temporarily suspend the play and wait for hibernation, but it was this subtle feeling that made him hope to digest the potion as soon as possible, so he used the power of the gray mist - every time he randomly selected the target location, Klein would first go to the gray fog to divinate the danger level, and use the paper angel to interfere.
At this moment, he "teleported" to the city of Kukwa in the western state of Uttar Pradesh.
This is where he killed Ince Zangwill, avenging himself and his captain.
As soon as the figure appeared in the White Feather Square, Crane suddenly noticed something abnormal.
The general's mansion in front of mesanyes was so quiet that it sent chills down your spine and hairs stood on end.
- Mesanyes is a native general who previously purchased arms from Dawn Dantès, and is himself an extraordinary person in the "Grim Reaper" path, relying on the Church of Knowledge.
Klein frowned slightly, considering whether to go in and check the situation, after all, it was his "partner".
Moreover, if he can meet an enemy who is not weak, it will be a good opportunity to play, Klein has just made a self-assessment, thinking that if he can use the Sage-level demigod as the protagonist and create a few more terrifying legends, then his "sophist" potion will be almost digested.
Of course, everything is premised on safety, and it must be done with caution and care...... Crane pulled out a gold coin while making his secret mate Chunas Korg look like Dawn Dantès.
This time, he was told that there was no danger.
Odd...... Crane was careless, his body suddenly blurred, turned into a shadow, and disappeared into the darkness of the night, while the secret puppet Chunas Korg took Daunne Dantès's face and walked slowly towards the mansion of Mesanyes.
- This is the "shadow hide" of the "wriggling hunger" itself.
As for Klein's other secret puppet, Enyuni, he was waiting almost 1 kilometer away, and several "mice" belonging to this secret puppet were separated by nearly 1 kilometer, but they couldn't make any movements.
Soon, Daun Dantès arrived at the main entrance of the General's Mansion and opened the "Spirit Line" vision.
What caught his eye was a messy "growing" black illusory thread, which seemed to come from different people, but with a distinctly similar "atmosphere".
And the normal "spirit thread" does not exist at all.
Daun Dantès was silent for a few seconds, then stretched out his right hand and pushed open the main door that did not close.
The scene inside was different from what Klein remembered, the gold leaf wrapped in the columns, the gold statues inlaid on the walls, and the ornate staircase crumpled together like a giant hedgehog with golden spikes, and sharp stone pillars rose from the ground, and broken glass everywhere.
In addition to these, there are also unreal and unreal bookshelves in the hall, and in different places of the bookshelves, there are pools of black shadows, and sometimes, they will curl up and stretch, like eyes.
As the main entrance opened, the pool of liquid black shadows suddenly came to life, each making the same sound:
"It's you!
"I was right, you're the one who helped me out of trouble!"
PS: Ask for a monthly pass on the last day of October~
