36. Am I getting stronger?
"But why doesn't she even know the seventh-order divine arts?"
"Isn't she some kind of genius magic girl?"
The old bishop was not surprised to hear Gallo's question, and hurriedly took out the manuscript that had been typed, and replied:
"This is the disadvantage of those big sects, there are too many rules, too many restrictions, too rigid..."
"It turns out that what she said before is true, you must have a corresponding position to learn the corresponding magic arts..."
"It's better for our sect, the goddess doesn't talk about these red tapes, and even I, an ordinary priest, can learn seventh-order divine arts!"
In fact... It's not an ordinary priest, is it?
The old bishop sneered in his heart, and then heard Gallo ask:
"If that's what I say, wouldn't I be pretty good now?"
The old bishop thought for a moment, nodded, and complimented him with a rare remark:
"After all, you have worked hard for so many years, and with the favor of the goddess, you have naturally achieved something."
Before Gallo could rejoice, he heard the old bishop continue:
"But it's a little more powerful than ordinary people..."
"You must know that there are many people in this world, and there are many alien races, and there are many people who are better than you and work harder than you, not to mention those powerful beings and the gods in the sky..."
"You must not be complacent because of a small achievement, do not follow in the footsteps of your senior brother, only by always remembering the teachings can you achieve true glory."
"Yes, I remember that."
Gallo replied very seriously, and at the same time thought in his heart:
Sure enough, although my talent is poor, my hard work always pays off!
In the past, I could receive a hardware job for less than a month, and I couldn't meet a guest who offered hardware at one time...
I worked hard and got stronger, and it feels so good!
I'll have to keep doing it in the future!
With such a sense of satisfaction, after eating, he continued to devote himself to the cultivation of divine arts.
For the rest of the day, he was as calm as usual, thinking that Wentini would come to him because of last night's incident, but he didn't.
Maybe the Divine Light Sect is meddling, right? I don't have a chance to play...
Although it is 10 less silver coins to earn, it saves a lot of trouble, which is also good.
In this way, Gallo had a very satisfying day.
The next morning, not long after he got up, he saw the old bishop bring a newspaper.
It turned out that when he was alone with the beautiful girl yesterday, several murders suddenly broke out in the city of innocence.
The victims were all low-level officials like the tax collector, from the fire department, the security department, and even the city defense army, and each of them had traces of a cult, which can be considered an organized and premeditated large-scale criminal activity.
This big case suddenly covered up all the past cases, and aroused the great attention of the city lord and the vigilance of the three major orthodox religions.
"Wow, it's crazy, these cultists are crazy!"
Gallo couldn't help but sigh.
The old bishop thought for a moment and replied:
"Maybe it's because you killed an apostle and caused them to react aggressively?"
"Blame me?"
Gallo asked innocently.
The two were about to talk about it when Lieutenant Wentini suddenly approached the door.
Compared to the previous capable appearance, Wentini looked very tired today, and it was still early in the morning, but he seemed very tired, yawning constantly.
Seeing this, Gallo poured her a cup of tea first, and the old bishop used two healing magic techniques to help her refresh her mind and replenish her stamina.
Wendini was shocked, and suddenly felt better.
"Thank you..."
"You've read the newspapers, right? From the early hours of yesterday morning to the early hours of this morning, several murders broke out in the city in a row, and I was almost crazy..."
"Thank you for your hard work for the safety of the city, I hope to find the murderer as soon as possible, and we will try our best to assist you..."
The old bishop complimented him at first, and then went to the backyard to feed the cats, leaving room for the two young men to talk.
"I came to you today, mainly for two things, first of all, I made a routine inquiry, did you report a cult activity to the Divine Light Sect yesterday?"
Gallo nodded.
Wentini went on to ask a few more questions, and he answered them one by one.
And Wendini finally asked, "What about the believer who reported to you?" Where is he? ”
"He's a traveling merchant who has been wandering from city to city, and I don't know exactly where he's going, except that his name is Jack."
Wendini couldn't help but roll his eyes, this kind of name, and this kind of profession, it is basically impossible to find someone.
She didn't delve into this issue either, and asked another thing:
"Why did you report this to the Divine Light Sect? Instead of looking for us? ”
"It's because yesterday there happened to be a special guest visiting..."
Gallo briefly told Wendini about Misserland's visit yesterday, but he didn't say that she donated 5 gold coins and the magic discussion that followed, only that she came to take a look.
As a result, this only made Wentini even more suspicious...
"She didn't do anything? Just come and see? ”
"What do you have here worth seeing her?"
Gallo didn't answer, just raised his head and put his hand against his chin with the tiger's mouth, probably trying to say, 'She's just coming to see me.'
"I didn't know you were so stinky..."
"She's here to talk to you about magic, right?"
Wentini asked, a little amused.
"Huh? Can you guess that? ”
Gallo asked, somewhat surprised.
Wentini shrugged and replied:
"What's so hard to guess about that? She's also a celebrity in our city of innocence, and it's said that there's nothing that interests her other than magic..."
"And the last time you interviewed, she should have been interested in your magic skills, so she stopped you, right?"
Lieutenant Wentiny, sure enough, he was smart enough to guess so easily...
But...
Gallo's eyes fell on Wentini's bumpy, convex curves, and then he thought back to Mitheran's unremarkable figure.
Doesn't it say that big breasts are brainless? Why is Lieutenant Wendini smarter than Bishop Mitheland?
Before he could figure out the complicated problem, Wendini urged:
"Okay, let's not talk about these things, the routine inquiry is over, and now it's time to get down to business."
"Pastor Gallo, I hope you can assist us in the investigation of the case and the related aftermath."
"Huh? Do you still need me? Didn't the Divine Light Sect send someone there? ”
Gallo asked a little strangely, but he didn't expect that he would have a chance to earn those 10 silver coins.
"Pie is pie, but it's not very reliable, so I'm still looking for you, and it seems to have something to do with the Skull Crusher..."
"Let's get in the car first."
