20 Foregone conclusion

Last night's unrest, which lasted all night, was accompanied by a fire that lit somewhere in the sky, which terrified many people who went to Gülen Church for help.

But with the reassurance of the clergy and the safe surroundings, their emotions gradually calmed down.

Eventually, when reinforcements arrived, smoothing out the chaos in Shiphull, the people gathered in the square in front of the church relaxed and began to return home.

But at this time, their mentality is completely different from what it used to be.

"I need to apologize for some of my past biases against the church."

An old man dressed as a businessman said goodbye to Bernie like this before leaving.

"The church is the most reliable place we have in the event of a disaster, and there's no safer place than here."

"It is our duty to shelter those in need." Bernie replied.

"You are a very respectable priest, Father Bernie, my little grandson has just been born, can I ask you to baptize him?"

"Of course, you can always bring him to church to find me."

So the old man left contentedly.

This change in his mindset is common among the crowd.

In the midst of last night's turmoil, everyone has seen some darkness emerge that they don't normally see, and when the grounds become unsafe, the church has become the only shelter in Shiphull.

When they are in the magnificent church, the mood of the people is calmed down unconsciously, and the gentle words of the young priest make them feel more comfortable.

Many people even fall into a deep sleep in this tranquil atmosphere, ignoring everything that is dangerous outside.

One must first fall into despair, and in this turmoil salvation will begin

This sentence was perfectly performed last night, which caused a change in the hearts of many people.

But more than that, when they return to their homes, the situation becomes even more intense when they are compared to some of the people who did not seek refuge in the church.

It will also have a profound impact on the entire Hull Town.

"Father Bernie, it's been so long, take a break."

When the last of the resident helpers was sent away, a nun couldn't help but run to persuade her, "We are here, there will be no accidents." ”

"Your Excellency Bishop sent someone to inform me that I have something to say, and I need to communicate with him before I can rest."

Bernie was washing his hands in front of the pool at this time, and smiled when he heard this, "But after this, you are really needed to preside over the work of the church." ”

His smile is always intimate, so kind that it can make everyone feel warm, and it can also quickly calm the excited.

In fact, last night at Gülen Church was not entirely without accidents, some mad lunatics even sneaked over to set fire to it and even steal, and some heretics were secretly eyeing each other.

It's just that after the young priest made a few moves, all those people were scared away.

This has given asylum seekers a great sense of security, but it has also caused consternation to some who thought the priest was a "civilian".

"It's a shame not to be a witcher with this kind of skill." Martz, the captain of the witchers of the main parity, commented on this.

He and his team of witchers were the official armed men yesterday, but there were only seven of them, and many places were actually not able to take care of them, and they were not in the church because of the investigation of the murderer's escape.

That's where Bernie's shot happened.

"Demon hunters need professional knowledge of demon hunting, and I'm not very familiar with that." Bernie waved his hand and replied, "It is better for me to persuade people to do good." ”

It's a fact that Bernie's pacifying ability is what kept some order last night in relative relative to force.

"Then it won't be long before your presence makes Hull a cleaner place."

The Witcher Captain said, a rare smile, "After this incident, changes are already inevitable. ”

He said this completely different from what he said not so long ago.

But it's an obvious thing, there has been such a big mess, and there are even a lot of sneaky people jumping out during this time, and it's hard for the church to turn a blind eye to something that exists in Hull Town.

The overall environment of this place will inevitably change as a result.

It's just that the Witcher Captain's reaction surprised Bernie a little, "But it came at the cost of disaster. ”

"If the wound is so rotten that it can't get back to normal, then the most appropriate thing to do is to simply dig it out." The Witcher Captain said disapprovingly.

Bernie didn't say anything, instead asked about something that had happened in the prison last night.

The topic managed to bring the Captain Witcher's face back to gravity, and he talked about some of their investigations.

The murderer was not caught, but they were somewhat rewarded in other ways.

For example, the murderer was possessed by a demon called the Bewitching Demon.

Bewitchers have a strong ability to deceive, like to stir up strife and chaos, can smell the breath of some evil people in their area, and are very happy to see order collapse.

However, such demons are very rare even in hell, and the requirements for summoning them are particularly strict, often requiring a large number of sacrifices to have a chance of success.

However, the murderer had no possibility of such sacrifice in prison.

"We suspect that the murderer was possessed by the Bewitched Demon before he was caught, so we were unaware of his sacrificial rituals."

The captain of the witcher said: "The time of the sacrifice should be roughly two months before the murderer's voyage to sea, because he has stayed in Hull Town since then, and has not made any obvious moves, but further clues need to be investigated......"

The conversation didn't last, as a group of people had appeared on the street in front of the church square and were walking towards the two of them.

It was Bishop Rhodes and his entourage, who had finished their tour.

Bernie and the captain of the witcher beside him greeted him, and the first thing they said when they arrived was about a topic they had just discussed.

"Get ready, we're going to need to question all the suspicious people in Hull Town accordingly."

"Won't this cause some people to be dissatisfied?" Bernie asked meaningfully.

"Even if we're kings now, there's no reason for us to ignore the current state of Shiphull."

Bishop Rhodes said firmly.

He had clearly made up his mind about it.

This should be considered a move in line with public opinion, which made Bernie nod secretly.

Widespread questioning is bound to be repulsive to many people, but after what happened last night, ordinary people think that they will welcome it.

At the same time, a stern interrogation is being carried out in Hull, and the influence of the Church here is bound to grow violently.

As the church's influence grows, so does Bernie, the spokesperson of the local church.

This was far more swift and efficient than his own claim to fame in Hull.

At the same time, however, the prosperity of Shiphull may be greatly diminished as a result.

When the church imposed strict control on this, the rules became more and more, and when Hull Town was no longer so "safe".

Outsiders will inevitably abandon this place and go to a more suitable place.

The result will be a malaise in business and a large number of unemployed workers.

As in the case of Neham, at least a third of the dock workers lost their jobs after the smuggling of holy water.

The loss of a job naturally leads to the loss of a source of livelihood and then a difficult situation.

However, this situation did not last long.

When the larger environment changes, the unemployed will seize the corresponding opportunities as soon as possible......

After talking to the middle-aged bishop for a while, Bernie walked away as usual.

He didn't need to meddle in what was going on in Hull, and the situation would eventually turn out as expected.

But the increase in influence does not translate directly into his merits in the church, and although Bernie has done some things at present, it is not enough for him to be promoted exceptionally.

So the next thing is how to use this influence to quickly accumulate credit.

It's hard to imagine in normal times, but it's much easier when the environment changes.

It's just that if you want to change the general environment, it will take some time to brew.

So before that, Bernie is going to raise his transcendent level a bit.

It wasn't that hard, after last night's incident, his two supernatural abilities were already on the verge of breaking through their current level.

And when they are complete, they only need to go through an ascension ceremony, and Bernie's person will be able to ascend accordingly.

However, unlike ordinary transcendents, he currently has a golden sublimation potion, which can be combined with the corresponding "Glory Deeds" to give him a "transcendent title" and a talent bonus.

What kind of title should be obtained, Bernie has not yet thought about it.
