Chapter 34: Garcia's Reminder
"And that kind of thing?" In the Great Sanctuary of Crossbell, the rector of the diocese Alalda looked surprised, "Is that order actually dispatched again?" β
"There is no definite evidence yet...... It's just that everything points to that. Heiliga shrugged, "The miner...... It's a bit of a gun to use him, but if all goes well, you should be able to find the corresponding source. β
"Radical but steady...... Plan well and leave yourself a way out. Archbishop Alalda looked at Heliga with a meaningful gaze, "I see why Ain likes you...... People like you can bring unexpected gains, and they will not be burned by being overactive...... It can be called the most suitable partner in a sense. β
"Don't dare to be a ...... But I didn't expect you to say that to that guy...... After all, if I'm not mistaken, the head of the diocese in the Crossbell region is very reluctant to interfere with the "Canonized Province" and the "Knights of the Star Cup". β
"Because Crossbell is a nuisance enough in this place...... They don't need to continue to add to the blockage. The archbishop snorted, "So the king of law generally does not send knights easily, and correspondingly, the leader of the alliance does not send executors casually...... At the end of the day, it's because the situation here is so complicated that even they can't easily control it. β
"But this time...... The association seems to have broken this taboo. β
"You mean the 'Seventh Pillar' thing." Sure enough, the archbishop had already knew, "It doesn't matter. People like her don't interfere too easily...... Executors like madmen are completely different. β
ββ¦β¦ I haven't seen it before, but I guess that's it. Heliga remembered that Levi had almost never said anything bad about her, "Anyway...... I'll leave it to you here. After all, if the hospital asked, there was no such thing at all...... Suspicions will definitely arise. β
"Although it was not my intention to get involved in trouble......," the rector sighed lightly, "but in any case, since it is the evil cultists who believe in the devil who have committed the sin against the people of the goddess...... There is no reason for the church to want to shirk it. Rest assured...... If the hospital asks, I know it. β
"That's good."

"Whew...... I didn't expect the rector to be unexpectedly easy to deal with. Heliga came out of the church and felt one less burden. Not only is Alalda indifferent to the Canonized Province and the Knights of the Star Cup, but even the clergy under his command are generally unsmiling people. However, through the exchange, Hailiga actually found that the rector was a qualified leader of the churchβimpeccable in terms of the most basic financial and personnel management, as well as the professional level of the clergy itself, and his attitude towards things. It seems that the criteria for selecting people within the church are also very wonderful.
ββ¦β¦οΌ Well? As soon as he stepped out of the church door and returned to the mountain path to return to the city, Heliga felt a glance pass over her. There was no malice, just observing oneself β the feeling was so familiar.
"Did you go over there...... Well, it's ...... over there," Helliga felt the breath getting farther and farther away, "...... Pursue. β
Climbing over rugged mountain peaks and shallow rivers, Hyliga found that this was a place he had not set foot before. There were crumbling stones everywhere.
"Is this still a mine road? Although it generally seems to be going to the workshop, it feels like something is actually wrong...... "This completely unknown route seems to be a little more westward than the trail to Rozanbeck's workshop. From a distance of 100 cels, it seems that you can see the outline of the village of Almolica.
However, the owner of the eyes that had just passed over him seemed to stop hereβand thanks to this, when the other party no longer concealed his presence, Heliga was able to know who it was.
"Garcia." Heiliga said softly, and then watched the big man with a complicated face slowly walk out from behind a boulder, "What's wrong?" Such a mysterious ......"
"You've been out of Crossbell for the past two days, have you?" Garcia spoke, her voice hoarse and her face a little haggard, "I've been looking for you for a long time......"
"What's wrong with you?" Only then did Helliga see that something didn't seem right with Garcia, "Why is your face so bad?" And how mysterious are you doing now......"
"It's hard to put into words...... "Garcia sighed, her legs a little weak, "I listened to all the warnings you gave me...... I paid attention to it too. President of him...... Indeed, they want to strengthen our members with a drug of unknown origin, so as to take revenge on the "Black Moon" that ruined the auction. β
"yes...... I know. He seems to have tried to put some medicine out of the people to see if it was feasible and what the side effects were...... That's right. β
"yes...... As far as I know, he distributed medicines to the people, and more than 30 people received them. Garcia nodded, "And then these days passed...... Except for the miners who were accidentally caught by the police kids, the others didn't seem to have any special side effects...... So the president ......"
"Then I ordered all of you to take the medicine by force...... Is it. β
"yes...... Thanks to you, I had expected thisβthe president was probably sure that I would never agree to do so, so he found a group of people who volunteered to use the strange drug, tried to subdue me and forcibly injected meβbut I was prepared, and reluctantly ran them away, and escaped alone. But unfortunately, even so......" Garcia lifted the corner of her clothes, "I think they managed to get their hands on it once or twice......"
ββ¦β¦ That's bad...... Is this drug so powerful? Heliga was a little surprised, he didn't expect that with Garcia's skills, he would almost be attacked by them even when he had been prepared for it, "It doesn't seem to be so ...... to that miner"
"No...... This drug seems to have strange magical powers. Garcia closed her eyes in pain, "To put it strangely, the drug seems to be able to control the intensity and timing of its attacks...... Sometimes I don't feel anything special, I just feel like I'm fluttering up and down...... And sometimes it's brutally trying to take control of its body, and it's easy to ...... without a little willpower."
"I see...... After all, it is a strange order that can communicate directly with "demons", and it is natural that the things they create will have a mental impact......" Heliga nodded, "Did you come to me to help me heal you?" β
"Hah...... It would be great if you could do it...... I've heard rumors that you have a good relationship with the superintendent, but eccentric one. Garcia chuckled heartily, "But before then, I have one more piece of information that might be useful to you." β
