The matter of the sealed place was eventually taken over by higher-level church members, including the investigation of the relevant clues and the finishing touches after the fact.

After two days of cooperation in the nearby village, Bernie and the others had already left the scene and headed towards Neuham, a harbor city not far from the place where the seal was sealed.

"The Rowland Islands are very close to Neuham, and it will take about half a day to sail, so it is easy for us to say goodbye."

As he rode his horse down a dirt road surrounded by hills, Tracy on horseback said to Bernie: "You can also communicate by letter, although I don't work in Neuham, I still know a lot about the current situation of the church, if you need it, you can contact me at any time." ”

Bernie nodded at him in thanks, and Tracy then turned to look at the blonde boy beside him,

"You too, Elinor, although the main job of a witcher is to deal with xenos and monsters, you also need to pay attention to some rules within the church, although your family is local, many things you hear from the outside may not be true. So if you have some difficult questions, you can always write to me and ask me. ”

"I will, Tracy, thank you so much for taking care of me during this time."

The blonde boy replied sincerely, not forgetting to glance at Bernie.

"I wouldn't have been able to go into church without you, my father said he would be more than happy to help if you needed help with anything!"

Eleanor looked beaming at the moment, apparently after returning to the family after the investigation, he was not less praised by Viscount Sinclair.

He himself is also very happy to join the church and is looking forward to the future.

"It's a pity that you weren't assigned to the Rowland Islands." Tracy sighed and glanced at Bernie regretfully.

After the events in the Sealed Lands, everyone in the Inquiry was rewarded, Eleanor was accepted into the Church as a reserve witcher, and Bernie was promoted to the rank of deacon.

Tracy's position has also become a reserve presiding judge, and he only needs to improve some of the necessary knowledge and extraordinary abilities before he can officially become a full-fledged presiding judge who can sit on his own.

Unfortunately, the three of them do not work in the same place.

Tracy himself still worked in the heart of the diocese, the Rowland Islands, while Bernie and Elinor held positions in the city called Neuham, across the sea from the Rowland Islands.

This made Tracy feel sorry, and under normal circumstances they should be colleagues.

As a result, no one expected that Bernie would be transferred to Neuham to become a church deacon.

Although a church deacon is more relaxed in his daily work, he is not as quick as a judge.

What's more, Neham is not a good place......

With thoughts flipping in his mind, Tracy looked at the middle-aged bishop at the front of the line who was talking to his deputy, and then whispered to Bernie and the others:

"The situation in Neham is not really good, and the patriarch there, although nominally under the jurisdiction of the Bishop, is not of the same faction as the Bishop. And you were promoted on the spur of the moment, and there will definitely be some people who were originally trying to get the corresponding position to have an opinion about you, so be careful when you arrive in Nyam. ”

He focused on Elinor, because he didn't think that Bernie's identity and ability would make it difficult for him.

"Is it because of that incident five years ago?"

The blonde boy thought of something when he heard this, and his expression of joy was much more restrained.

"Yes,"

Tracy replied, then looked at Bernie and explained, "Five years ago, Neam was not under the jurisdiction of our diocese, so some of the local people have not been very obedient to the administration. ”

"Did something happen?" Bernie asked.

"I don't know much about the specific situation, but I know that the bishop who originally ruled here committed suicide by poisoning." Tracy replied.

Then he seemed to feel that this matter was a taboo, so he changed his words and began to talk about Bernie's position,

"The deacon of the church is the auxiliary priest of the parish priest, and his usual job is to be in charge of the baptism of newborns, the wedding and funeral rites in an area, and the care of the poor or needy in the area. Of course, the main thing is to follow the priest's instructions. ”

"Doesn't it involve something extraordinary?"

"There may be some situations that require exorcism, but most of the things related to the supernatural are the responsibility of the witcher."

Tracy said, glancing at the blonde boy next to him,

"After joining the church, only the very beginning of the co-deacon stage can receive the three lowest level of transcendent scrolls and matching holy water from the church without any cost, if you want to upgrade to a higher level, you need a certain contribution to exchange for upgraded holy water and higher level extraordinary abilities......"

The young deacon then began to popularize science, including the corresponding meritorious ways of each department, which things are more meritorious, which ones are thankless, and so on.

Bernie thus learned from the other party that there were three churches and one cathedral in Neham, and that the cathedral was guarded by an adjugate bishop, and that the ordinary church was headed by a priest.

And the place where he is about to be inaugurated is most likely one of the ordinary churches.

But which one it is will not be known until you arrive.

But it didn't take long for Tracy's popular science to come to an end.

It's just that as the party left the Ibiza region, what was seen on both sides of the road didn't make it interesting to chatter at all—

It was a group of children sitting on both sides of the road, and as the procession passed, pairs of eyes came one after another.

The children's faces were generally clean, but they were poorly dressed, both male and female, and the youngest looked to be five or six years old.

"After every blood moon, there are children who lose their families and guardians."

Tracy sighed when he saw this, "Some lucky ones will be taken away as servants or apprentices by passing aristocratic and wealthy merchants, and the unfortunate ones ......"

He shook his head, grabbed the horse's leash, and stopped to begin distributing the dry rations he had brought with him.

More than 20 members of the team are doing the same.

This enlivens the originally slightly oppressive atmosphere of the avenue a lot.

It's just that they didn't solve other problems other than temporarily filling the stomachs of the children here.

"I heard that there was a holy light coming from Ibiza, and the monsters were scared away, so there were very few deaths. What a favor of the Holy Spirit. ”

As we continued on our way, the words of the travelers were heard, and many travelers who did not look like locals looked at them.

I think the news about the incident two days ago has begun to spread outward, and people have come to inquire about the situation one after another.

It is unlikely that members of the church will know the details of the blockade, but that will not prevent the surrounding area from surging in the coming period.

It's just that it's not about Bernie for the time being.

After saying nothing, when the sun was setting overhead and the light turned to dusk, the group finally arrived at Neuham.
