225. More cautious than me?
Wentini looked at Gallo, who was getting better and better, even better than he imagined and expected, and a strange and absurd thought suddenly popped up in his heart:
Anyway, Gallo is more powerful than the Skull Crusher now, do you want to lock him up in a small dark room?
And then use force to force him to comply...
Of course, Gallo is powerful here now, and he is likely to be countered by him by accident.
Then you can only pick it...
Anyway, as long as you have a baby and get married right away, then whether it's the beautiful girl protagonist or the beautiful girl dean, you won't be able to snatch Gallo...
Her idea was indeed ridiculous, and even she herself quickly realized it, and quickly covered her blushing pretty face with her hands, shook her head vigorously, and quickly threw this excessive idea out of her head.
"What's wrong with you, Captain? Not feeling well? ”
"Would you like some hot water?"
Seeing that her reaction was a little strange, Gallo hurriedly asked with concern.
When Wendini saw Gallo's reaction, she suddenly felt very guilty.
Woo... Gallo cares so much about me, but I have a bad idea for him...
I'm such a bad woman who doesn't know how to check!
She blamed herself in her heart, and quickly defended:
"No... Nothing, I'm fine, definitely not thinking about anything weird! ”
Gallo still trusted her very much, and did not ask, but rephrased yesterday's incident:
"By the way, did you catch that gang of gangsters alive yesterday? Why did they attack Ms. Carola's mansion? ”
"I was caught, but it should have been just an accident, and I didn't find out what was behind it."
Wendini replied quickly.
Gallo covered his chin, thought for a moment, and continued to ask:
"And what about the plate armor and crossbows on the gangsters? It's not something that ordinary people can get, is it? ”
Wendini then gave him a detailed account of the case:
"All three were killed on the spot, and the city guards confirmed the bodies, they were deserters from the last time the evil god invaded, that is, the half-angel showed up to repel the evil god."
"After they became deserters, they absconded in fear of crime, and they have been hiding in a small village in the countryside, and the city guards did not have enough manpower to search them one by one, so they hid until now."
"After that, they teamed up with the displaced people in this incident to plan this kidnapping case, which were all confessed by the gangsters themselves."
According to her description, this case was indeed an accident, three deserters with several homeless people, entered the city to rob, just in time to target the newcomer Mrs. Carola.
Logically, naturally, there is nothing wrong with it.
But Gallo still thinks it's a little strange...
It takes a lot of courage to dare to go into the city and rob instead of blocking the road, and it takes a lot of courage for a real outlaw to have that much courage to be a thief.
If you are so bold, how could you be a deserter before?
But Gallo was only slightly skeptical.
After all, there are too many possibilities for this kind of thing, for example, the evil gods are far more terrible than the laws of the empire, and for example, they are poor and afraid during this time, or they live in the countryside and do not know the situation in the city, thinking that the city is very chaotic and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Anyway, it's a bit suspicious, but it's not worth digging into, and there's no way to dig deeper, everyone is dead, and the clues are all broken.
Even if there is any conspiracy against Ms. Carola in the future, as long as she gets the enchantment right, nothing will threaten her.
Gallo quickly figured out the logic.
When it comes to such important matters involving human life, his thinking is always very clear, which is very different from the thinking pattern in daily life.
So don't look at his usual times when he thinks differently, but he never drops the chain at critical moments, which is also the source of confidence that he has always felt that he is very smart.
"Oh yes, there's one more question..."
Gallo then asked:
"Did the team of the Supreme True God Cult pass by there by accident at that time?"
Wendini shook her head and explained:
"No, they were hired by Lady Carola to take care of the safety of her day-to-day travel."
"Speaking of which, they were very relieved and honored to know that you would be setting up an enchantment behind you to protect the safety of Lady Carola's mansion, and they trusted you very much, thinking that it would help them reduce their workload a lot."
After hearing this, Gallo frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice:
"Do you need so many people?"
To be honest, he felt that Lady Carola was a little too cautious, even more so than himself.
It's just that he likes to put protection magic on his body, so he didn't have a lot of bodyguards with him, right?
And this lady pursues all-round protection from travel to accommodation, and even does not hesitate to pay a high price for it...
You must know that the city of innocence is the most secure city in the empire, and it is the first time that Gallo has encountered such a cautious style.
But judging by the results, it seems that she made the right choice?
I always feel that this lady seems to be hiding something...
A gratuitous association popped up in Gallo's mind.
It's not that she suspects that Lady Carola is a bad person, a cultist, or something, but if that's the case, how dare she seek refuge in Orthodoxy? Isn't that self-defeating?
Gallo was just worried about whether she had provoked some underworld forces and received death threats or something.
If this is the case, will your own sect be implicated?
If you are unfortunately implicated, will you not be in danger?
And not only himself, but also the old bishop, the little milk cat, and the girls around him may encounter danger.
It's so bad that it makes people shudder to think about!
If that's the case, it's just...
uproot the evil forces to prevent future troubles.
The next time you meet Lady Carola, ask again...
Gallo had such an idea for the time being.
And just as he was about to do so, Lady Carola's carriage stopped at the door of the church.
She stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maid, followed by the team of the Most High God, and walked into the Mia Cathedral together.
"Wow! Pastor Gallo... Oh no, it's Bishop Gallo, and your new church is so beautiful! ”
The leading paladin greeted Gallo very warmly, looked around again, and asked a little strangely:
"Huh? With such a big church, why are you alone? ”
Gallo suddenly felt a little big, he really didn't have a good way to deal with this group of infidels...
However, this group of people is very knowledgeable about the rules, and after a brief tour, they all walked to line up in front of the offering box.
Gallo's expression suddenly soothed a lot.
It's no wonder that he likes to deal with people from the big sects, look at it, how sensible he is.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they found a chair to sit down in the church, while Wendini took on the role of a nun as a believer, serving various kinds of tea and water, and finally sat back next to Gallo.
Seeing this, the talkative squad leader gave another thumbs up and complimented:
"It's really Bishop Gallo, every day there are different girls around..."
"Isn't it? Beauty is only worthy of the strong! ”
"Bishop Nagallo, should you consider the girls in our sect, they are also very well-behaved and admire you..."
Can you show some dignity and reserve of a great sect!
Gallo couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
As a result, it was Lady Carola who noticed Gallo's embarrassment and hurriedly mentioned the purpose of the trip.
She came mainly to thank Gallo for his help yesterday, and stuffed five hundred gold coins into the offering box, which was actually the reward for yesterday's help, but in the form of a donation.
It can only be said that Mrs. Carola is really rich, and she deserves to be the richest man in the building materials industry.
However, this money is also a bit of a spur and urge, because Lady Carola then asks about the progress of the enchantment.
It could be seen that she was very uneasy.
Gallo thought for a moment and asked directly:
"Ma'am, are you threatened?"
Hearing him ask, the expressions of everyone present couldn't help but become a little solemn.
"I didn't want you to get involved in this kind of thing..."
Lady Carola said helplessly, and turned her head to look at the maid beside her.
The maid hurriedly walked up to Gallo and handed him a pair of boxes from her bosom.
Gallo opened the box and saw that there were several bloodstained letters.
The blood on the letter means that the contents of the letter are death threats.
Gallo grabbed one casually and read it.
The letter asked Mrs. Carola to commit suicide within three months, or they would help her.
There is no attribution at the end.
In the second letter, Lady Carola was asked to scatter all her wealth and kill her only son with her own hands...
There is still no signature.
Gallo read a few more letters, and found that these letters were all strange demands that no one else could accept, and there were no real specific conditions, anyway, they wanted Lady Carola to die.
Strictly speaking, this should be considered a threatening letter, and the effect of intimidation is actually not strong, and many people will probably regard it as a boring prank.
"At first, I thought it was a prank by a competitor who wanted to distract me, but then I realized that things were not so simple, and the other party seemed to be serious?"
Lady Carola went on to describe her own recent experiences.
She has been attacked several times in the last month, including yesterday's one, for a total of ten!
If it weren't for her focus on safety, I'm afraid she would have died a long time ago...
These attacks are very similar to yesterday's situation, at first glance they are all accidental, no more clues and masterminds can be found, and it seems that Mrs. Carola is unlucky, and they are all affected and implicated.
But this kind of thing happened one after another, and it was obviously organized and premeditated.
But they couldn't find any more clues, which made the sheriff on the other side of the city of Plenty anxious.
Therefore, Lady Carola chose this time to enter the City of Innocence, the main purpose is not to grab the market, but more to escape...
It's no wonder that she is so cautious and does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to protect herself.
