Although Bishop Rhodes took the matter very seriously, the subsequent investigation never made much progress.

Interrogating some of the Blind Church detainees in prison, who knew little about the murderer's situation, claimed that the rescue orders were all demanded from above.

There was no clue to the killers in the town, as well as the newly infiltrated Church of the Blind God, as if they had really taken advantage of the chaos to leave.

The investigation has thus stalled.

Until some news came from overseas.

"The Patriarch of the Church of the Blind God committed suicide?"

When he heard the news, Bishop Rhodes was still in Hull Town to preside over the cleaning, and he was stunned when he heard this.

"Do you know why?"

"It is said that he suddenly committed suicide after a ritual."

The deputy said uncertainly: "The specific content and details of the ceremony have not been investigated by our overseas people, and it seems to be a secret." ”

"We have learned, however, that divination not only caused the suicide of the patriarch of the Church of the Blind God, but also that one of the rulers of the local city-state and his guards all became insane."

"Crazy?"

"Yes, madman."

The deputy replied, "It is said that they have become very timid, and they will shout at the slightest fright, especially when they see strangers and children. ”

"Cowardly ......"

Rhodes was thoughtful.

There are no more clues, but considering some of the events in the Neham era, many places seem to have been faintly connected.

It's just that there are still some doubts that he hasn't figured out yet.

So Rhodes began to spy on Bernie

Although sensing that his thoughts seemed to be guided by external forces, Rhodes did not stop his actions against Hull.

The chaos in Hull Town gave him a reason to work on it, and there was no way to stop him from standing up for the time being.

So anyway, it's an opportunity that needs to be seized.

This grasp is naturally a wide-ranging inquiry.

The result was a series of unrest, which was resisted by some people who had problems themselves, and which was also apprehensive by the atmosphere.

By this time, however, the winds in Hull had quietly changed after the night's turmoil.

Therefore, although the church is currently very tough and domineering, more and more believers are running to Gülen Church every day.

As more believers came, the clergy of the parish were naturally busy.

Due to the decrease in the number of clergy some time ago, this busyness is rapidly intensifying at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Until now, it can be said that it has been busy from early morning to night.

However, under the management of the young priest, the busyness in the Gülen church was hectic and not chaotic, and the whole thing was running well, and everything seemed to be in order.

All this was seen by Bishop Rhodes, and at the same time, he could feel that the religious atmosphere in Shiphull Town was getting stronger and stronger, and the number of devout believers had increased significantly.

This is a gratifying achievement, and it is very gratifying to Bishop Rhodes.

Because he had a clear understanding of Bernie's managerial skills and his competence in the position of priest.

But figuring out whether there was some kind of force behind this, or whether there was a conspiracy going on around the gods, was a matter that he needed to consider more, and it also cast a haze over the relief in his heart.

As he continued to look closely, Rhodes began to notice that something was wrong.

As a priest at Gülen Church, Bernie had to meet with a large number of believers and clients every day, and these helpers often left contentedly after a conversation with the young priests.

But before that, while waiting to talk to the priest, they behaved for a long time with another quiet, but clearly not quite right, characteristic: panic.

Panic as if frightened.

It's normal for believers to come to us for help and panic about something, but as a former member of the Inquisition and a senior clergyman, Rhodes sensed that this panic was completely unjustified in many cases.

For example, a believer simply sneezes more often and begins to fear whether he has some incurable disease or is simply cursed by some demon......

This phenomenon alone is not a big deal, the problem is that there are obviously quite a few believers who behave similarly.

That's very wrong.

Rhodes speculated that there might be some force "artificially" creating their panic.

But what it is, he can't find a clue for the time being.

In addition to this, another anomaly observed by Rhodes was that Bernie's abilities seemed to go back and forth only of those two, and there was no third.

Why don't you see him using the third ability?

Is it because you didn't learn?

Obviously, this can't be the case, as a veteran transcendent, Rhodes has already felt a unique aura in Bernie during this time.

This aura is a sign that a transcendent being is about to complete his current personal practice, and it is difficult to notice, but it is not impossible to feel.

So during a midday break, Rhodes asked Bernie about it.

"Because I have a talent for mutating the extraordinary abilities I've learned, I'm not sure about some of the situations."

Faced with this question, Bernie replied with some hesitation, "The third ability I originally learned was Ferdinand's cleansing, but this ability has become a little strange now. ”

"What kind of weirdness?" Rhodes asked busily.

He vaguely knew that Bernie had a talent for changing the extraordinary skills he had learned, because this trait was actually difficult to ignore, and Bernie's extraordinary abilities were obviously different from the others.

"It's an inconsistency in the effect." Bernie replied, taking out a silver coin and demonstrating it.

So Rhodes watched as Bernie transformed the silver coin into a roast chicken that smelled hot.

"This"

He was stunned.

"I've been experimenting with this ability all this time, and I've learned about its general effect." あ七^八Chinese ヤ~8~1~().7,. < starter, domain name, remember

"I've found that as long as I have the money, as long as there's something around me, I can buy it," Bernie said. And not even just commodities. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out another silver coin, then closed his fingers together to dissipate into a silver glow.

Rhodes then felt someone suddenly beating him on the back, and at the same time, there was some warm smell of grinding his ears and temples.

"It's ......"

Bishop Rhodes, who had seen a lot in his early years, was no stranger to this, so his expression on his face was dull because of this.

Slowly turning her head to look, a hazy figure loomed behind her, and she even smiled coquettishly in the face of Rhodes' "dumbfounded" appearance.

"It's a back-beating service."

Bernie explained this slightly, "I can buy other services besides, such as tailoring clothes or sharpening weapons. ”

There is no way to hide this, and unless Bernie hides it forever and does not use it in public, it will be discovered sooner or later.

"So, why didn't you show you how to make clothes?"

Rhodes said helplessly: "The faction you joined can't help but be lustful, it doesn't mean that we are all not forbidden. ”

"I'm sorry I overlooked......" Bernie blinked, "I'll keep an eye on it next time." ”

Rhodes didn't pay much attention to such minor questions, because he had now understood something in general.

"It's absolutely impossible for this ability to be influenced by your own natural talent."

He affirmed: "This is not the power of Ferdinand's cleansing. ”

"And what is this?"

"I'm not sure yet."

Rhodes said this, his expression full of seriousness.

"But I think you've been targeted."

"Targeted? By whom? ”

"The Lord of Fear."
