Mace Hammer Island is not far from Neuham, and it takes less than two hours to get there by boat.

From the sea, it looks like a very large island, with lush greenery and a bustling town called Shiphull on the edge.

However, when the ship approached, it was inevitable to see a pier with a tattered wooden floor, and some sloppy porters on the pier.

The docks in Hull are much smaller than those in Neham, but there are a lot more boats moored here than in Nyam, which was deserted by the Holy Water case.

So Bernie's boat waited for a long time before it finally had a place to dock.

Some of the impatient passengers jumped impatiently into the sea during this time and swam ashore.

Bernie wasn't in a hurry, and he walked slowly until the ship was slowly moored.

The smell of fish and a certain stench seemed to be characteristic of the docks of this era, and Bernie smelled them as soon as he got off the boat.

I also saw a bald monk who had been waiting in the docks for a long time.

The other man seemed to have seen him before Bernie, so the monk had already trotted over by the time Bernie looked over.

"Excuse me, is it Father Bernie?"

"Are you Brother Pepys?" Bernie asked rhetorically.

After being assigned to Mace Hammer Island, the church provided him with a house, a number of servants, and a "personal butler".

The house and the servants did not know what was going on, and the name of the private butler was Pepys.

"Yes, I'm Peppis, Peppis Mack."

The middle-aged monk with a Mediterranean hairstyle replied.

Bernie nodded at him, "I'll bother you next." ”

This is naturally an acknowledgment of identity.

So the middle-aged monk secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked as he led the way.

"Are you going to go to your lodgings first, or are you going to church first?"

"Let's go to church first."

Bernie said, "You're a local? ”

"No, I'm from Mulberry City." The middle-aged monk replied, and then hurriedly added.

"But I've been living in Shiphull for five years."

"So you should be familiar with this place?"

"Yes, I know every street and most of the major buildings here."

"Can you talk to me?"

"Of course, where do you want to start?"

……

Leaving the dock area, there is a commercial area, lined with wooden houses and buildings, and you can walk slowly on the bluestone brick paved road, and you can see commercial buildings such as bakeries, tailor shops, inns, public baths, and grocery stores on both sides.

At the same time, across the street, you can faintly hear some shouting and selling, and there seems to be a market not far away.

While feeling the style of Hull Town, the two were also constantly talking.

So on the way to the church, Bernie learned some basic information about the place.

Shell Town is the only town on Hammer Island, but it is said to be a town, but it has a larger urban area than Neam, and more abundant urban functions-

Fishermen's Union, Merchant's Union, Sailors' and Mercenaries' Union...... Various trade unions have taken root here, and as a result, a good social order and atmosphere have been formed.

At the same time, the island does not belong to the House of Cambore, but is the lord of Count Cambore's allegiance, Duke Grant, a powerful man in the northwestern part of the kingdom of Pharos.

This is actually obvious, Bernie once saw a flag fluttering with a bloody fist embroidered on a blue background and red thread when he was on the docks.

Walking through the streets, I saw a knight riding a horse slowly passing by, with shiny armor and an article with the same pattern on his chest.

Therefore, it can be said that the law and order situation here is very good.

The people here also have great respect for the church, and they celebrate every religious holiday.

During this time, business unions would hire theatrical actors or jugglers to perform on the streets, and people would come to churches to pray or donate money.

……

It sounds like everything is a lot of fun, and there's nothing to pay attention to.

But Pepys apparently didn't think Bernie would be a fool, or had never heard of Hammer Island's reputation, so he explained it right away.

"It's because everything is okay on the surface that the problem here can't be solved. Father Bernie, there have been several priests before you who wanted to do something here, but they didn't get anything to ......"

If it weren't for Bernie's extraordinary ability and unique ability, the other party would not have said this for the first time.

The person himself did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he was saying.

"Hull is bigger than Nyam, but the fact that we only have one church here says a lot."

Bernie nodded.

That's what he needs to solve next.

All the silt is hidden under the clear stream, how can it be revealed?

Mudicating the waters, of course.

But obviously this agitation cannot be forced, because there may be some crocodiles hiding in the mud, and reaching out directly may be bitten.

So the first thing to do is to find out how many loaches, a few crocodiles and even a few rotten shrimp are in the mud......

As he thought so, Bernie suddenly heard a loud noise.

"I'm grassing you stupid NPCs! So you don't know the big one, and say I don't have any money!? ”

……

"Do you have to break those gold coins to count as money?!!"

……

Following the sound, he was surprised to spot a "familiar figure" that was currently being dragged out of a building by two large men in leather armor.

The building......

"There are always drunkards who go to brothels and end up with no money to pay the bills."

The middle-aged monk next to him said unconsciously when he saw this scene.

"Then they tend to regret the act very much after sobering up, because the price of not having money to pay the bill is to lose the root of their sin forever."

Bernie nodded thoughtfully.

Prostitution is considered a crime in Pharos, and many of the laws in the Pharos Kingdom are very barbaric.

For example, where a crime is committed, it is chopped off.

But it's a new thing for a player to be treated like this......

……

"Such an ugly girl, what about you!"

……

"Stupid!!"

……

The shouts of insults came from the "drunkard" who had been thrown into the street and fell to the ground clutching and wailing, but not everyone could hear them.

At the same time, not everyone could see the words floating on the door of the hapless drunkard's head—

LV10 - The master's task is just that.

……

The name used to belong to a green-haired parrot, but now it is a person.

Come to think of it, Bernie hadn't seen each other since the last time the Cambore house caught fire.

I thought it might have encountered some special situation, such as being locked in a bird cage like last time.

As a result, he is now running this prostitute......

A little speechless, but it wasn't an important thing, so after watching the excitement, the two continued to move forward.

However, after a while, another unexpected situation occurred.

But this time I didn't meet any other player, but I saw a teenager who had his throat cut in the street.

The murderer was cruel, grabbing the boy's brown hair with one hand, and holding a dagger with the other hand and slashing at the boy's exposed neck!

The dull cracking sound seemed to instantly become the loudest sound around, and a woman passing by screamed in terror.

The person who was attacked clutched his neck tightly and screamed hoarsely, the viscous blood staining his fingers with a sauce color, but it could not stop its rapidly passing vitality.

In the end, under the uproar of passers-by, the young man collapsed to the ground, blood splashed, and his wide eyes quickly lost their lustre.

And the street assailant, after killing the boy, did not go away, but inexplicably raised the dagger in his hand in the direction of Bernie, looking extremely arrogant.

Bernie frowned.
