25. Today's headlines
At the dinner that day, Sir Donald, who was in a good mood, brought out good wine and feasted the guests.
For a while, the cups were staggered, and the guests and hosts were happy.
However, all three bishops declined the dinner and left early.
It's just that before leaving, they have to help destroy the jewelry that they have blessed in today's interview, so as not to leave traces and leak other people's techniques.
The bishop from Primordial Chaos volunteered to take on the matter, asking the other two to go first.
Those jewels were quickly dispelled by him with divine magic.
But he accidentally missed one -
A bracelet that is as hard as a triangular thorn...
"Ahem, when you're older, some negligence is inevitable..."
The bishop whispered, secretly hid the bracelet in his sleeve, and hurriedly took his leave.
When he returned to his quarters, he quickly dismissed the servants, locked himself in his room, and carefully took out the bracelet that Gallo had blessed.
"No matter how you look at it, it looks like a real holy thing, if it weren't for common sense, I'm afraid even I would be bluffed..."
"There are defects that make things hard, but it's easy to fix, just find something that's hard in the first place..."
"The designer is right, there will be a lot of believers interested in the holy relics, as long as they can afford the right price."
"All this is for the better spread of the glory of our Lord... And... My indisputable son..."
He whispered to himself, intending to steal Gallo's magic and sell it as a holy relic to the believers.
In order to be able to analyze the magic more thoroughly, he first held the bracelet and activated the magic on it, preparing to carefully note down the specific fluctuations.
But in the next second, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart...
"Ahh My blood! It's burning! ”
He screamed, tore off his clothes, leaving only a pair of boxers, and then spread his legs and rushed straight towards the wall.
After a muffled bang, the wall was knocked out of a human-shaped hole?
And he took advantage of this momentum to continue to rampage, flying sand and rocks all the way, and even rushed out of his own house and crashed into a neighbor's house.
The street, which had fallen silent in the night, suddenly became noisy...
Gallo, on the other hand, was enjoying a delicious supper with the old bishop and discussing the next arrangements.
"I'll be able to get rich soon, and when my salary arrives, I'll have the church renovated, right?"
The old bishop thought for a moment and replied:
"Don't be in a hurry, save the money first, and when the amount is enough, go to a better place to rent a new church."
The city of innocence is religiously developed, and many denominations have come in to test the waters, only to return with a feather in the end, and the various churches they left behind have also been bought by real estate developers at low prices and leased to successor denominations.
Therefore, if you have the money, it is much better to rent a church with a good port and a large flow of people, and then decorate it in the corresponding style than to nest in Old Oak Street.
"Sounds good, but how much does it cost to rent a church?"
"As far as I know, a few dozen gold a year will definitely be needed..."
"This..."
"So, you have to work harder, I have to work harder, with your level of magic, if you want to make money or..."
As the old bishop spoke, he almost leaked his mouth, and hurriedly changed his words:
"It still takes a lot of hard work, if you change your senior brother, we don't know how nourishing our current life is."
"Alas, senior brother... It's a pity, God is jealous..."
"But I'm going to keep doing it! Strive to catch up with my brother! ”
"I really want to go to work in the weapons store early, but unfortunately I have to wait three days... But it's just right, I'll use these three days to practice more hardening magic! ”
In this way, Gallo spent the night repeatedly contacting the simple hardening magic technique, trying to practice it to the point of perfection, like an arm command.
And so everything in the whole church suffered...
The broom mop is as hard as a shovel, the towel handkerchief is as hard as a blade, and even the hair of a little milk cat is hard like a little hedgehog.
He tossed until he was about to go to sleep, then he dispelled the effect of the magic and went to exercise his body again, and then he lay down on the bed and confessed to the goddess.
"Today's me... The performance was fantastic! ”
"Today's me... The performance was fantastic! ”
"Today's me... The performance was fantastic! ”
"Rereading is also a sin, and I hope the goddess will forgive me."
So saying, he fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the headline of the "Innocence Daily" carried the following news:
"What is it like for a well-known bishop to run naked on the street late at night? Is it a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation? Take you into the truth that the man will cry when he listens, and the woman will be silent when he listens"
The specific content is probably that an elderly old bishop did not know what was going crazy, not only running naked in the street, but also rampage, causing a street to fly.
Even the city defense team was dispatched, but more than a dozen strong stick guys chased and intercepted him in various ways, and they were so tired and out of breath that they couldn't help him, and they were hit and injured a few people in turn...
In the end, he used the anesthetic throwing knife to deal with the large demonic beast, and he was barely subdued.
But perhaps because the anesthetic effect is too strong, he is still unconscious, so it is unclear what happened for the time being.
Gallo took the newspaper from the old bishop's hand, and after reading the news, he sighed in a low voice:
"What a shame! As a fellow pastor, even I felt humiliated and suggested that this man retire as soon as possible. ”
After that, he asked the old bishop who was drinking tea on the side:
"You won't be like him in the future, will you?"
The old bishop snorted and coughed.
"Ahem, ahem, that's... Of course..."
After such a small episode, Gallo spent three very quiet days, and finally waited for the appointed day.
The agreed weapon is located on Victor Street in the south of the city, and is said to be named in honor of the first lord of the city of innocence, that is, Marquis Jeff Victor, who led the army to drive out the aliens and build the city of innocence along the way.
Old Oak Street, where Gallo is located, is located in the north of the city, almost through the entire city of innocence, if it was a change before, it would have been a very hard road, but now it is different, he has a car.
It was still a very high-end donkey cart, which allowed him to arrive at the weapons shop on time in only two hours.
Sir Donald's butler was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Gallo coming, he looked at the pocket watch in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile:
"You are very punctual, and I am sure this will be the beginning of a pleasant cooperation."
With that, he led Gallo into the 'Shining Sword' weapon shop.
