The one who knocked on the door was the tax collector named Simon, dressed in a plain linen smock, and was relieved to see Bernie open the door.

Bernie was strange about his arrival, but he was relieved when he spotted the two figures following him.

"Mr. and Mrs. Wright don't know the way to your house, so I brought them here just when I had time."

Simon explained to Bernie, and at the same time looked sneakily at the surrounding streets, as if he was afraid that he would be seen.

But this is normal, because of the undercurrent in the church, it is indeed a "risky" thing for him to come to Bernie on his own initiative.

"I hope you can save our children again, Deacon Bernie,"

The couple behind Simon cautiously approached, "He hasn't gotten better in the last two days......"

Bernie was not surprised by their arrival, so he nodded, and then stepped out of the way and motioned to enter the room.

The two bent down to thank him, and Simon, who led the way, had no intention of staying longer, but smiled apologetically at Bernie,

"I've got to get to work, Deacon Bernie, and I hope you understand."

"Of course, may God bless you in your work."

Simon thanked him, and then suddenly thought of something, and sideways took out a small grass turtle with four legs that was struggling and swinging from the pocket hanging behind his back.

"We found it on the way here, and it doesn't seem to have any of these pets in the neighborhood, I guess it's yours?"

The turtle in his hand was struggling, but when his head met Bernie's gaze, the turtle's whole body stiffened, and then its head and limbs suddenly retracted into its shell, and became motionless.

Bernie was stunned, but wondered when the little thing had run out, and smiled at the tax collector on the surface.

"It's a baby turtle I raised, thank you very much, Simon."

"It's an honor to be able to help you."

The other party politely returned the salute, and then left in a hurry.

Bernie walked back to the room with the turtle door closed, and beckoned the couple to sit on the chairs in the living room.

"The weather doesn't look right lately, maybe it's going to rain soon?"

Seeing that the two were a little nervous, he asked casually.

At the same time, he put the turtle in his hand into a wooden wine glass and put it aside, and then took the swaddling clothes from the woman's arms.

"There's always a time when there is a lot of rain in Neam at this time of year."

The young man named Wright replied honestly, and then saw Bernie's hand on the baby's forehead flashing white and fluorescent, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether it is officiating at weddings, baptisms, funerals, or treating the sick, the clergy have to charge a fee, except for specific festivals, there is basically no such thing as free.

So they were worried that Bernie would ask for money first and then sell, and they were even more worried that the money they were carrying was not enough, but they didn't expect this person to be so simple.

"Then maybe I should keep an eye out for any leaks in this house."

After hearing this, Bernie thought about it, and felt that the room under his feet might not be reliable.

However, this chaotic thought did not affect his movements.

The white light transmitted from the "heat" in the body to the tips of his fingers continued to flicker, and after birth, it melted into his body along the delicate skin of the baby in swaddling clothes.

As a result, the sleeping baby's wrinkled expression was slightly soothed, and it became more and more relaxed.

Stemming from the extraordinary power contained in Bernie's words, the baby's parents also relaxed after a few words with him, and their expressions seemed less reserved.

"We're here to help you if you need it."

"Thanks, I might really need your help with this."

"Sail Street, Deacon Bernie, we live in Sail Street, if you want to find us, you can go to the jellyfish tavern there and say hello to the owner. Uh, you know, the houses over there are built in a mess and they don't have house numbers......"

"Sail Street?"

Bernie was stunned.

If memory serves, the area he was responsible for included Sail Street.

So he asked, "How does it feel to live there?"

"Everything is fine, thank you Deacon Bernie for your concern."

Wright replied with a smile, but his wife secretly poked him, making him a little dazed, obviously not understanding what it meant.

So the young woman next to her, who hadn't spoken much since she had come in, couldn't help but speak.

"The place where we live is fine, the neighbors are decent people, but the rest of that street is actually very chaotic, there are a lot of thieves and gangsters, and the law and order is very poor."

The young woman was handsome, with a full forehead, and looked quiet, but her words were very bold.

"The sheriff in charge of that street now doesn't care about the damage to the property of us civilians, but is good friends with many thieves."

"Is it because of the proximity to the docklands?"

"Yes, there are a lot of foreign merchants and travelers in the docks, and they use those people as fat sheep."

After the woman said this, she secretly stabbed her husband again, so Wright took over the conversation this time clearly,

"There are a lot of warehouses at the docks, and if you want to prevent the goods inside from being lost, you have to pay money to the gangsters, and if you lose some particularly valuable items, you also need to contact the local thieves to redeem them with money."

"Doesn't anyone care about this kind of thing?"

"The people who are being targeted are outsiders, and the adults of the city council don't care about this kind of thing, but Deacon Kent has been in charge of it a few times......"

"Deacon Kent?"

"Well, he was the deacon in charge of our place before you and was transferred."

……

In the space of a few words, the little baby in Bernie's arms had already regained a little ruddy complexion due to his continuous transmission of holy light, and it seemed that he was almost free of illness except for a little pale lips.

However, the holy light stored in the body can be replenished by the sun at any time, and it is a waste not to use it, so Bernie is not stingy with this, and continues to condition the baby's body.

The topic of his mouth gradually shifted from the issue of law and order to the issue of the couple's work.

"The Cambore family is the main ruler of Neuham, and I work for them as a tax clerk at the fish market in Neuham."

"I know the youngest son of the Count of Cambore." Bernie followed the topic.

"He's missing, after the Blood Moon."

The brown-haired, blue-eyed Wright sighed as he said this, "It's a pity, Mistress Mitchell is a good man......"

"Lord Cambore is angry about this, and we are all saying that the reason for Mistress Mitchell's disappearance may have something to do with his brother." The young woman, who had not spoken for a long time, added.

"It's not for no reason, because usually their brothers have a very bad relationship, and I heard from the butler that before he disappeared, Master Mitchell also wrote a letter accusing his brother of leading a group of xenos to assassinate him, so the Cambore family has been investigating this matter recently......"

Wright usually speaks when talking, but often some important content is constantly provided by the woman in front of him.

This is not only because of Bernie's extraordinary power, but also because the other party is obviously aware of what Bernie is interested in, and she dares to say more.

Bernie couldn't help but look at the other one end, "What should I call you, Mrs. Wright?" ”

"I'm not a noble lady, Deacon Bernie, you can call me Evenni."

"Okay, Ywinnie."

Bernie nodded and smiled at Wright next to him, "You have a good wife. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the baby he was holding in his arms, "I will also have a good and healthy son." ”

"Thank you very much, Deacon Bernie." The two were busy thanking, and couldn't help but be overjoyed after seeing the rosy color of the baby's face full of healthy color.

Then they asked about the remuneration.

It is the rule of the church to collect money for doing things, so Bernie didn't mention anything free, and after receiving the black market price of a bottle of zero holy water, the two of them were grateful and prepared to leave.

"By the way, what if...... Uh, I mean, if there's anyone else who needs help, can I refer them to you? ”

As he walked to the door, the young Wright asked hesitantly, as if he was afraid that such a thing would disturb Bernie.

"Absolutely."

Bernie replied briskly, "But my ability is limited, and I can only accept one person a day." ”

One was better than a direct refusal, and Wright was relieved to hear this, because his neighbor's family had a child who was about the same as his son, and the neighbor had mentioned it before he came......

With a relaxed and joyful mood, the young couple said goodbye and left, and Bernie watched their backs disappear into the garden.

He was about to go back and figure out the demon to see if he could get something useful, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a Dalmatian crouched under a wall across the street.

Without looking at the game nickname on the other person's head, Bernie could recognize the dog as the one with the parrot.

And after a closer look, Bernie found that the other party was chatting with the parrot at the moment,

Because of the distance, they didn't send voices, but used text messages.

"I've also encountered this kind of thing, and some people on the forum speculate that the game characters sometimes avoid some dangers after we go offline, so they occasionally move around on their own."

"What kind of danger could make this stupid bird fly such a distance?"

"You ask me?"

"It's really a shabi setting, I followed the map and calculated, and if I want to get back to my original location, I will have to fly for at least three hours...... Three hours! Damn, it's desperate to think about, why is this game map so big? ”

"You can also be in the same place, anyway, not everywhere you play."

"And then you alone swallowed the main NPCs? I said, old watch, you are not a simple person. ”

"I'll go to you, and I'll talk about whether I can get the task."

"Don't be careless, keep an eye on it, if we want to be a big guy in the future, it's up to that person."

"I have counted, don't worry."

Spotted Puppy replied, "But I noticed that something seems to be watching this NPC." ”

"Players?"

"No, it's a couple of crows, crouching on the roof of that NPC. It's funny, they change shifts every once in a while, and it's very regular. ”
