Under the fierce flames in the brazier, the white liquid in the quartz crucible continued to churn and roll.

The smell of garlic permeated the room filled the room with bottles and jars, and bronze utensils.

In the room, a young woman dressed in a black nun's robe focused on stirring the liquid in the cauldron with silverware, and finally when the fire was almost up, she used tweezers to pull out a milky white stone.

Then she looked at the young figure sitting at the partition table not far away,

"It's a little hot, you need to be patient."

Bernie, who was waiting silently, looked up at the stone and nodded at the other party.

The nun walked over and placed the milky oval stone in the palm of his hand that was spread out on the table, and when he touched it, puffs of smoke rose from the stone.

Then I saw it quickly melt in the palm of my hand, spreading along the bloody wounds.

"It's almost corroded to the bones of your hand by the aura of darkness, and if we hadn't come early, your hand might have needed to be amputated."

The nun said with emotion, then looked up at Bernie curiously,

"What the hell is going on there?"

"Your Excellency the Bishop will not allow us to speak." Bernie shrugged and replied, seemingly helpless.

"Well, I knew it was so."

The nun didn't ask, but she was still nagging.

"When we rushed over, many of the villagers bowed in your direction, and I have never seen them so religious...... It's a pity that you are not local Catholics, otherwise you would have found that the work would have been very easy for a while to come......"

The matter came to an end after the details were asked from the murderer.

By this time the night had faded, and it was already early in the morning.

Bishop Rhodes and some members of the Church who had come to support were still dealing with the aftermath in the sealed place, while Bernie and the others went to the nearest village to receive treatment.

"Do you have a lot of trouble at work?"

The stone in his hand was still melting, and Bernie, who had nothing to do, asked casually.

"It's a lot of trouble."

The nun grumbled as she guided the melted stone in Bernie's hand with a slender silverware, "Most of the civilians are superstitious about those bad folk customs, and we need to come to the door every month to correct them, and we must be vigilant about whether some aliens are mixed with the civilians, and if there are some heretics with improper thoughts in the area in charge, we must be affected by thoseβ€”"

As soon as she wanted to talk about the accountability of those mean judges, she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her seemed to be a legal person.

However, it is rare to find a judge as young and handsome as him......

The nun couldn't help but think of this thought, and her mouth was correcting her "slip of the tongue" just now.

"I have to be tricked by the heretic families...... I think it's a lot harder than your job, because we can't be rough ......."

She was a little puzzled when she said this, and felt like she was a little too talkative today.

However, looking at the other party's handsome appearance, the nun was instantly relieved, and felt that her mind was a little depraved, so she secretly prayed and confessed.

Then she began to pack up the tools on the table, and said to Bernie, "Tired, you must not have time to rest last night, it was such a mess." The injury on your hand has been dealt with, and it will heal in about a week, so go back and pay attention to your cultivation. ”

"Okay, thank you very much." Bernie stood up and nodded at the other.

"If you really want to thank you, then don't be too harsh on us when you become the presiding judge."

The nun finally couldn't help but complain about this.

Bernie smiled, then looked down.

At this moment, his injured right hand had been completely covered by a layer of milky white stone shell, and a stream of coolness continued to emerge inside, relieving the original pain very slightly.

"How?" Tracy, who was waiting outside the door, limped over when he saw Bernie come out of the room.

Tracy's left foot was also wrapped in the same thing, which was embarrassing to say, because his injury was left by Bernie's dragging.

However, at that time, the "situation was urgent", and everyone could understand it.

"It's going to be fine, it's just that I can't move my hands for the time being." Bernie replied, then looked apologetically at the other's legs, "How are you?" ”

"My injury isn't an injury at all." Tracy smiled,

"It's just that I died too many times last night, and my brain is still very unclear, but it can be regarded as a very rewarding experience. I'm going to write it into a book called Death and Dreams...... What do you think of the name? ”

"It sounds okay, but I don't think the title is intuitive."

"If you think about it, it takes a lot of time to write a book. But after this is over, there shouldn't be anything else to do in the short term, and I need to rest for a while. ”

"We haven't investigated the missing abbot yet." Bernie reminded him.

"Compared to the seal and the devil, the missing dean is not so important."

Tracy said: "It's definitely going to be investigated, but it probably won't be under our control, this matter has escalated." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask, "What did you say to the murderer last night?" When we got closer, he seemed to trust you? ”

"It's just reasoning, his revenge has already been avenged, how can there be so much persistence." Bernie replied simply.

Tracy didn't ask, because in his opinion, compared to sealing a high-ranking devil, Bernie could take the murderer for granted.

"It's a pity that he died too quickly, and many details didn't have time to ask."

"yes, we're not well prepared." Bernie nodded.

"That's the swineherd's luck. Collusion with the devil to slaughter the same kind, this kind of person is the lightest to be burned to death, and it is normal to die not so easily......"

They walked to their place of residence, and Tracy's attitude was much different from before, and he seemed more enthusiastic.

However, this enthusiastic conversation did not last long before it was interrupted.

It was Bishop Rhodes, dressed in a white robe, who was now standing in front of a courtyard with a unpleasant expression.

"Your Excellency, what are you?"

Tracy asked cautiously when he saw this, for fear that the other party would say that there was an urgent task to deal with next.

Luckily, things aren't that bad.

"The lord of Ibiza doesn't know what he usually does, so that a few wild boars can run out early in the morning and attack people."

The middle-aged bishop replied angrily, "A local nun was seen by many people because her skirt was flipped, and she is crying now." ”

"This?" Tracy didn't know what to say, "Those wild boars ......"

"Of course, it's just slaughtered." The white-robed bishop said, waving his hand at him, "You go in first, Tracy, I need to talk to Bernie alone." ”

He obviously had something to explain, and the young deacon nodded when he heard this, and then went into the courtyard.

The white-robed bishop handed Bernie a scroll, "Look, this is the Church's reward for you. ”

"So fast?"

Bernie was a little surprised to see this.

He felt that this matter hadn't fallen yet, so why did the reward come down?

"It's about a powerful devil, and I used a hurry to report it."

Bishop Rhodes replied succinctly.

Bernie nodded, then spread out the scroll and looked at it, and found that there were quite a few rewards mentioned in it.

The most important thing is a golden sublimation holy water.

The so-called holy water of ascension is a necessary item when you want to take one step closer after the completion of your own person's practice.

Without this holy water, transcendents would not be able to cultivate higher personality skills, and naturally they would not be able to enter the next stage of cultivation.

And the so-called Golden Sublimation Holy Water is much more valuable than ordinary Sublimation Holy Water, because the use of this Holy Water can make transcendent people eligible to fight for a corresponding "honor".

That is, the kind that the secular little nobles flock to, and the transcendent title that can be passed on to the family.

In addition, there is another thing to note in the reward, that is, when Bernie is promoted to bishop in the future, he will have the power to elect the abbot of Amos Monastery.

This sentence is short, but the meaning is important.

As the basic territory of the church, the monastery is equivalent to the town of the secular kingdom, and being able to decide the choice of a town mayor naturally means that the monastery will be your territory in the future.

Of course, there are still many differences, and the monastery of Amos has just been killed, and there is not a single member of it.

So it's not going to be useful for a while.

The rest is not very important to Bernie, but it seems to be another reason why Bishop Rhodes is in an unhappy mood at the moment-

Bernie's position was successfully confirmed, and he even took a direct step because of this incident, skipping the lowest rank of assistant deacon, and became a deacon.

However, instead of a diocesan court, he traveled to a city called Neam to assist a priest there in his daily religious affairs......

Bernie looked up at the middle-aged bishop in confusion, and the other party sighed helplessly.

"I wanted you to be a judge in the Inquisition, but ......"

He didn't say any more, but his expression was depressed.

Bernie understood why the other party was depressed.

The Inquisition belongs to the ruling power of the faction behind him, and after he enters it, he will naturally be able to develop smoothly, and even be cared for and supported by all sides.

But at the moment, such a change is equivalent to saying that the group of backers above will have nowhere to exert their strength in an instant.

"You're not a bishop now, too." After putting away the scroll, Bernie said casually, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Believe me, I'm not as happy now as I used to be when I was in the Inquisition."

Rhodes sighed, and then changed the subject.

"Your position has changed, so so the choices regarding supernatural abilities need to change as well. This will be available when you arrive in Neuham, and the other rewards will also be distributed when you arrive in Neuham. ”

Transcendents can only learn three skills during each person, and if they learn more than one, they will inevitably cause physical confusion when they are promoted, unable to be promoted, and even cause disabilities.

So excluding the ability that the angel left Bernie before he left for not knowing what the situation was, Bernie now has a supernatural skill to learn.

"I told you at the last baptism that I would fight for some extra rewards for you, and this matter has also been decided, it is a further study opportunity for the Holy City Star Academy, and you can apply for further study when you have time."

Bishop Rhodes' words continued.

"Also, only a small number of people know about your identity, so when you get to your new environment, don't talk nonsense, especially last night."

He said this with a serious expression.

Although he didn't come close last night, unlike the other two, he was able to hear the words on the spot.

He actually didn't understand how Bernie made the swineherd speak, and he felt that he didn't say anything, and the other party honestly cooperated.

But he had to pay attention to the taboo words in his mouth.

Even though Rhodes felt that as a newcomer to the company and a man from a slave society, it was normal for Bernie to say those things......

"If it weren't for the fact that it was only my own people present, I wouldn't have said that kind of thing."

Bernie answered honestly.

Bishop Rhodes was pleased with this, and then asked with concern: "Don't you sound lying about those words?" ”

"My father didn't think it was good to be pampered since I was a child, so he fostered me in a civilian family in his early years."

"That's right,"

Bishop Rhodes was stunned, and then patted Bernie's arm with emotion, "No wonder you are different from other peers, you are really a wise method of education." ”

Bernie smiled.

That was actually his own experience when he first crossed over, but lying and not typing drafts was already his basic ability, and basically no one could see it.

After a few more small talks, Bishop Rhodes hurried away, apparently not completely done with the matter.

Bernie looked at his back, then turned to go into the room to rest, ready to find out how the mission he had given the player was going.
