Chapter 31: Dinner
"Excuse me, Father. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" A voice rang out at the door of the church with a knock on the door.
I went downstairs and lit the candles, and then opened the door to the church, where Lauretta was standing waiting for me. Suddenly knocking on the door so late, it seemed that something urgent had happened, and some clues could be seen from his untidy clothes and tired face.
"Mayor Town, what's the matter at such a late hour?" When I asked this question, I mobilized soul energy to fill my whole body, and although I didn't feel hostility from the bodies of the group of people in front of me, maybe they broke out and hurt people, so it was better to take precautions.
"Dear priest, did you see a person in a hurry coming to the church this afternoon and evening?" Lauretta asked me.
I thought about it, and there was a man who came to church this afternoon in a hurry and in a hurry, and the reason why I can remember it is because this person is still in the church, and is now resting in the ashram behind the idol.
"Oh? I have the impression that in the afternoon there was a person like this who came to the front of the idol to pray. I replied.
"Are you wearing a white shirt and blue pants?" Lauretta was thrilled to hear my answer.
"Well, that's what it looks like, he?" I say.
"You know, I've been running a mine vein, this person is one of the managers, he has some secrets, I don't know why he ran away today, this kind of shady thing, how can someone be allowed to sneak away, so when we found out, we quickly chased it out. Do you know which direction he went? Lauretta asked me after explaining.
I took a step forward, approached him, and asked him softly, "Lord Mayor, does what he knows matter?" ”
Lauretta took a step back and stared at me twice, then nodded, "If you follow the path you pointed him to, 10 million gold coins will be offered." I saw his brow furrow as he said this, and there was a disgust in his soul.
"Please wait a moment in front of the statue, and I'll bring this man." With that, I quickly rushed out of the church and disappeared in front of the crowd.
I was back in about five minutes, and I had a man in my hand who was cursing at me. "Dear mayor, please inspect the goods, offer them with both hands, 10 million gold coins will be free, you are busy, please deal with it as soon as possible."
With that, with a wave of my hand, I extinguished all the candles in the church and walked up the stairs myself.
Lauretta bowed to me from behind at this time, and said, "I was reckless, I accepted your wishes, and if there is anything in the future, please do not hesitate to tell me." Then he departed with a group of men, and the moment the church door was closed, I seemed to hear the poor man again cursing me for blasphemy.
This has nothing to do with blasphemy, at most it is a betrayal of a believer in the God of Light, but I am not a believer in the God of Light, although I can recite the Bible backwards.
It's not unusual for Laureta to find me, because all the more persistent Christians are sick in their brains.
They wish that everyone knew that they were believers in a certain god, and not only that, but they also wanted others to believe in the gods they believed in, and even more so that it was a sin not to believe in their own gods and to believe in other gods. It's just faith.
This man came to me as soon as he escaped, and after praying, he came directly to me and said that someone was going to hunt him down, the most devout believer of the gods, and asked me to protect him, and I agreed to him after hearing that he would only sleep here for one night, otherwise I would not burden myself.
The next day I received an invitation from Lauretta to come to his house for dinner in the evening.
In fact, I've never been to his house, and I don't know where his home is, because he is rarely seen in town, even though it has the most luxurious building in town, the Esmunger Executive Hall. But the mayor was almost never present in it, and all the administrative affairs were handled by a handful of people inside.
Of course, Laureta also knew that I did not know the location of his house, so at dinner time a carriage came and stopped in front of the church, and the carriage did not have any family or organization signs on it, but I knew that Laureta had sent me to pick me up, because the coachman was a fifth-level warrior, and no one in Esmunger could use a fifth-level warrior except him.
So I closed the church door and got into the carriage.
The carriage was covered with thick animal pelts, the four corners of the carriage roof and the five delicate crystal lamps in the center glowed softly, and in the middle of the carriage was a small, patterned dark brown table with several plates containing some refreshments I did not recognize.
This is the life of a rich man, I sighed, and I picked up my plate and poured all the refreshments into my mouth.
If you don't eat anything from a big dog, you won't eat it, and even if it's poisonous, it won't affect me at all.
The Flame is in the Spatial Ring, and I don't know if this dinner tonight is trying to pull me into his team or kill me, or prepare for the worst.
I sat quietly for a while, then the carriage stopped, estimated the distance, and then pulled out the map around Esmunger, which was in the sea of my soul, and the only place I could have built a dwelling was the mountain west of Esmunger.
When I got out of the car, I confirmed this suspicion, and there were dense trees all around, and between these trees there was a path just enough to pass through the carriage, and we came from this road, and I turned my head, and a house that was not too big appeared in my field of vision.
Is this Lauretta's home? It's really not in line with his character.
"Mr. Andrew, please come in, my lord is waiting for you in the dining room right now." A man saw me get out of the carriage and immediately greeted me and told me. I followed him into the house, which was as simple as the outside, without the complicated structure of the house I had seen before.
"Dear Andrew, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come on, come on, sit down, the food has just been seated." Lauretta came over and patted me on the shoulder, then pressed me into a chair, and then he found a place to sit down, beckoned me casually and began to feast, as if completely forgetting about me.
I had no choice but to start eating with him, and although eating didn't mean anything to me, I didn't eat at this time, and there was nothing else I could do.
