Compared to Theodore's appearance, Rachel is much more elegant. Gently wiping the corners of her mouth with the white cloth of the dining table, and then patting her towering breasts, she smiled and said, "You have opened my eyes, Mr. Todd." ”

When facing the president of the "Relief Society", Todd can still leave a little room with ease, but when talking to this seemingly harmless woman, an inexplicable pressure always looms in his heart.

Rachel used a toothpick to stick a still green mulberry, slowly put it into her mouth, her almond-shaped eyes bent into a crescent, and she said, "Mr. Todd, dinner is also over, let's talk...... Seeing Theodore's face sank, the woman quickly changed her words: "...... Your situation. ”

"My situation?"

Todd frowned, not understanding the meaning of the other man's words.

"Mr. Todd, I've seen your introduction. From the monks of the monastery to the priests of the Church, your experience in the past two months can be described as legendary. Defeat pirates, treasure hunts, and heresies, and you're now the hero of everyone on the streets. ”

Listening to the woman's words, Todd didn't say anything, the look on his face became heavier and heavier, and a bad premonition gradually emerged.

"However, some things are not as simple as you think. As she spoke, Rachel took out a map from her purse, drew a few lines and a circle with a pen, and continued: "You say that you went to sea to the Northern Islands and dug up the crystal relics, but the journey of each voyage is always about three days. Counting the time spent on turnarounds, ocean currents, wind direction, supplies, and digging, it doesn't really take too long to get on the road. Then take into account the speed of the ship, and you can draw your approximate sailing radius with the port of twilight as the center. ”

Looking at the circle the woman drew on the map, Todd's eyes widened.

"The Northern Archipelago doesn't have a few islands in this circle, and it wouldn't take much time to find a boat to see each island. Do you think, if someone really took the trouble to look around and found no traces of excavation, would there be such a doubt—where is the crystal treasure?" Richer took out two glass objects of similar style but different appearance from his bag: "Mr. Todd, take a look, do you feel familiar? The two Crystal Relic are basically the same in style, but the one on the left is the first item you sent to Silverring, and the one on the right is the most recent item to be sent to the border. ”

Looking at the woman in green, she brought the two pieces of glass closer to the firelight and compared them with each other. Todd immediately understood what was wrong, and his breathing became rapid, almost out of breath.

"The first batch on the left has bubbles at the bottom, heavy crystal impurities, and obvious unfamiliar handmade traces at the joints, while the one on the right is completely different, with meticulous workmanship and fewer impurities, close to perfection. Rachel tilted his head and looked at the silent one: "It's obviously an excavated Tairo antiquity, the same style, but the workmanship is so bad, and it happens to be a different batch of goods, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"

"If all of the above is just suspicious, then your performance in the heresy trial is tantamount to burying the last shovel of dirt in your own 'grave'. You have revealed your identity as an alchemist and conducted alchemy experiments in front of everyone. ”

Richer walked to Todd's side, looked at the fine sweat on the other party's forehead, and said softly: "Northern islands, advanced craftsmanship, proficient in alchemy. Don't you think that putting these things together is equivalent to admitting in disguise that you already have the skills to make crystals?"

The woman crouched down and leaned against Todd's side, her tone soft, but the content was shocking: "I can think of things that those vultures in the church can't think of." Do you know what they're going to do next?"

Todd swallowed his saliva and asked unconsciously, "How?"

"Tactfully refuse all your requests, but will praise your merits in the Bulletin of the Holy Order, promote your position, transfer you to an idle position in the Central Diocese, and find someone to take over your Twilight Town. Next, find a random charge and place it on your head. In the end, whether they roast you or cook you, it's their freedom......"

Rachel returned to his chaise longue, stretched, and said with a smile, "The reason why they haven't done it yet, you really should be grateful for the Taylor text engraved on the crystal." If it weren't for the Church of the Heavenly Father and the Most Orthodox Church, which were fighting for the name of Orthodoxy and needed to use these relics as evidence, you might have been locked up in prison by now. ”

Todd sat cross-legged, buried his head between his hands, and closed his eyes in frustration.

The plan, which seemed to him to be seamless, had gone so far and so much that it was like a slap in the face to him.

"Mr. Todd, I have a proposal that you may wish to consider. Glancing at Theodore's solemn expression, the woman paused and said, "Work with us, we can help you tide over this difficult time, and we can also bring you more power and wealth." And we are all aliens, and we have a natural bond of fate that cannot be separated, so we don't have to worry about each other's betrayal......"

Todd looked up, surprised by Richel, his face calm, "What do you need me to do?"

"It's simple, just two things. First, we hope to be able to install a xenosexual sanctuary in Twilight to ensure that the power of the Church does not endanger their safety. ”

After listening to the first condition, Todd pondered for a while, and after a while, he understood the other party's intention: "I see, is the most dangerous place the safest?"

When Richer heard this, she laughed, "You are not right at all. ”

"What about the second condition?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Church once granted you a commission to establish the Sisterhood of Heavenly Father, right?"

"That's right. ”

"We want to set up a nunnery in the town of Twilight, and we will run it. ”

Touching the bridge of his nose, Todd's eyes looked at the fire of the candlestick, and his heart began to weigh the pros and cons.

The matter of placing a xenophobic shelter should not be too big if it is well controlled, as long as you pay attention to confidentiality and coordination, and do not make any big trouble, there should be no problem, but if the jurisdiction of the Nuns of Twilight Town is transferred to the Relief Society, it means that they can put a fixed base in the town in the open. Next, it is possible that the townspeople will be brainwashed and proselytized, and even there will be religious riots.

Thinking of this, Todd had a look of embarrassment on his face, and he wanted to reject the proposal, but he didn't say anything. As if reading through his thoughts, Richer smiled and said, "I almost forgot, I still have some additional details about the second condition. At the nuns in Twilight, we will only send one person as the abbot, and we will not send any more people. ”

If only one person comes, that's acceptable, it's a big deal to find someone to watch 24 hours a day.

Todd nodded slightly, and asked one last question, "So, when will your assigned dean arrive?"

Rachel grabbed the table with one hand, leaned over her upper body, her body curved into a fatal temptation, and with the other hand she stretched out her index finger, pointing between her own eyebrows, and smiled: "I can ...... at any time as long as you want."
