Chapter 36: Even the Church Came to Kill Me?
Orfiicher looked up from the briefing and looked into the paladin's long hazel eyes, "The church has stepped into a trap? ”
"You should finish reading. Paladin Chief Blanca said briefly.
He had no choice but to continue to flip through the remaining bits and pieces, only to see that the next page was torn off, and it was August 25 again:
"The night before, the Massalia messenger who had been in contact with Charlotte Goslar's valet, a native of Massalia named Leon, had died in the rest room of the inn where he was staying. There were no signs of a fight in the room, and the cause of death was poison in the wine before going to bed. There are a large number of traces of source energy left in the room, and some documents indicate that the messenger was left behind by the confrontation with the forces exerted on him.
"As a result, the Messenger was powerless against that force and was controlled. At one point, the prisoner entered the room and put renewed pressure on him in an attempt to extract information from him. At the end of the interrogation, the courier died of controlled poisoning.
"It doesn't make sense. I (with a small note next to it, "Church's Deferential Advisor Ramiro") has used blessings and creations to protect Chahe Town quite completely according to the church's process, and has also added some rune formations designed by me to it. Even if you look at the extraordinary things in the church alone, you can prevent the forces below Tier 3 from affecting the town from outside the town. With the exception of church members, any source energy movement is to be detected and recorded.
"The state of affairs seems to be very bad, and there are two conclusions that have been discussed in the papers. Or, among the dozen or so Warrior Guard Clergy and the two Paladins who have been approved to use their supernatural powers in the town without being registered, there is also a secret agent who can even bypass the Church's careful search and attention, and also hides the extraordinary objects of the Panthion Society.
"Or, it's a person at the level of a cadre of the Panthion Society, with a plural supernatural object of Tier 2 strength or above, who can wantonly penetrate the monitoring and protection of the church, and still lurk in the town to have some plans.
"Why didn't the order from above prevent us from holding off on contact with Charlotte Goslar? Is this the damn turmoil up there? Why did Charlotte come here at this time? Is it possible that she was the target of the inducement spell, someone else used it to destroy the pipeline in Fork River?
"May the Lord God Ji'an protect the church in Chahe Town from sitting still. These issues, which were constantly disputed in the instrument, must be resolved. ”
After a line, the record continues:
We (the note reads: "The briefing clerk was Ramiro the advisor, and the clerks who watched the meeting with the help of a prism projector") met Charlotte's manservant, a mixed-race boy who seemed to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, Ofiicher Zottiache. The situation has become much clearer as a result.
"It can be unanimously concluded that there is no room for falsification in the testimony of the manservant, and that Charlotte and his party did not have malicious intentions and colluded with other forces to harm the church in Chahe Town.
"Although Charlotte has lost her bloodline ability, the other guys who try to take her bloodline ability must still have doubts about it. Otherwise, the Messenger killer would have used violence to snatch Charlotte from right under our noses. After discussion, Charlotte, who would not be a danger to the church, was asked to temporarily live in the reception room of the church. ”
After two more empty lines, the messy, scribbled, strained handwriting reappeared:
"After investigation, it was confirmed that the baron, Philips Neumann, who had lived here for more than thirty years, was a cadre of the Panthion Society. He attacked Finn's office this afternoon when the church was sending people to pick up Charlotte.
"Finn, Owfeicher Zottiakai, and Helena Cunningham in Finn's office all survived the attack, and Philips Neumann himself died from the multiple supernatural effects he used.
"All the supernatural things have been received by the Church. ”
Ofiicher saw the end and closed the notebook.
This... Isn't that saying that the church's understanding of things from beginning to end is no different from my own, and that it is spinning like a fly without a head?
Witnessing the change in the expression on Ofei's face, the Paladin Chief seemed to see the mockery and exclamation in his heart.
Blanca coughed lightly: "As you can see, Ramiro did something that was not properly thought out after inciting and inducing other instruments to agree without my permission.
"Ramiro's actions led the Panthion Society to confirm the fact that Charlotte had destroyed her own bloodline abilities. Obviously, Neumann, who had gone to great lengths to capture it, did not think so.
Neumann left some notes, and his initial concern was about Finn's troubles. He was very concerned about Finn's abilities and experiments. Neumann could not accept the failure of this large-scale operation, and the Panthaeon Society would not allow him to fail. But the loss of Charlotte's bloodline ability has become an established fact, and the failure of Operation Neumann has also become an established fact. ”
The Paladin's gaze softened: "You look confused, you may not be able to understand the content of the briefing at all, and you may not be able to understand my words - you may not know what Fein's research is, what the Panthion Society is, what the Kuroshio is, and judging by the testimony that Ramiro told me, you don't even know what bloodline ability is."
"But all this shows your bravery and decisiveness! Take my compliment, you did not survive two such terrible encounters by a few talents or luck alone. And your experience is both a fit for my needs and the most needed outsider for the church right now, a brave and upright outsider.
"I, Chief Paladin Blanca, invite you to assist us. And the church will help you secretly. ”
Paladin, everyone will blush and hide when you hear this... Ophie complained in his heart before he continued:
"Seems like I'm in demand, and everyone wants me to help him. You're overestimating me. Paladin, I have agreed to Finn to be his apprentice, and I am afraid that I will refuse your kindness. ”
"That's what I need. Mr. Zottiakai, the church is trying to know what progress is going on in Finn's experiments. "Besides, you appeared at the center of events one after another, and if it weren't for Ramiro and the clerks to vouch for your testimony, the Church would have placed you on the list of people who need to be observed at the moment after Finn." What do you think other people would think?
"I would like to bet on you more than Charlotte Goslar, the master you serve. Your role as a facilitator will surely bring more to the church. ”
I think you church people have a similar way of thinking, you just criticized the advisor not long ago, isn't this thinking about the same as the advisor, paladin. Ofeicher was speechless again, the church likes to play with the dark.
"Paladin chief mean, let me be an agent?"
Blanca's face didn't change much, but Ofiicher felt that the other party's posture and demeanor seemed to be much more relaxed, as if he thought that his arrangements for Ofiicher had been appropriate:
"No, I just need you to be my informant. You don't have to do anything that violates morality and the law, just report to me anything that might be harmful to the Lord God Gian and the Church.
"I will give you the treatment of a church informant, and give you the information, knowledge, and even clerical teaching that will help you in your actions. Depending on the situation, they may lend you a few church blessings for self-defense, or they may send someone to protect you secretly.
"All you have to do is take time out of your time to go to the chapel on Thursday and Sunday. There, you can find me and report back to me through the guidance of the priest.
"Will you help me?"
Once again, Blanca reached out to Orfeucher.
