Verse 43: Prelude

Marin naturally understood the shock and anger of the mayor's family - if there was no conflict between the authority of the church and mortals, then the whole world would laugh.

Because fundamentally, the Church's possession of such a private armed force as the Guardian has already attacked the authority of mortals from one side, because there will always be a group of people who will not bow down to the king no matter what.

However, there are not as many drama spirits in this world as in other novels, and they like to stir up the relationship between the mortal kingdom and the church - because there are always too many dangers and threats in this world, such as spirits, and xenomorphs, these uninvited guests make this world so terrifying, mortals will choose to keep warm no matter what, whether it is a king, a protector, a leader or something else, they all have good communication with the church.

Because there is no good communication, it has been swept into the pile of old papers of history.

There is nothing wrong with the church trying to save the world, but they don't save fools.

So when the fat man's brother-in-law and sister heard that the church came to send warmth, it was really not a wrong word to describe it as sincere fear, because no one would favor them in this kind of thing, and anyone in their right mind would choose to support the side of the church when they heard about this kind of thing - in case you were chaotic, it would not only be your family that would die.

And this kind of thing can't be found out, and if it is found out, it will be the end of a person's head falling to the ground, and no one will intercede for them.

And the family who passed the investigation did not complain - they had confirmed that their relatives had changed their lives in the square, and they were not allowed to criticize the actions of the church in the face of irrefutable evidence, but they also thanked the church for proving their innocence.

"Maybe we should turn to investigating his friends and hearing that he was only back for a week, and if he was the source of the pollution, that week, the scope of the contamination doesn't seem to be huge." The old mage looked at Marin, and he did not cross Marin to give an order, but in an inquiry.

Marin smiled: "According to the confirmation of the port entry and exit bureau, Mr. Julian Gonger returned to his hometown a week ago by the regular ship 'Katopol' from the north to the south, and I have asked the agent to inform the ship of its departure port and the cities along the way through a fast communication channel, to note whether there is a connection to the recent pollution incident, and his circle of contacts in the north needs to be handed over to the local church, and we need to confirm a problem." ”

"What's the problem?" The little mage has fulfilled a duty of praise very dutifully.

"In the previous inquiry, we have confirmed the residence of Julian's wife and children, and the fair girl has already brought someone over, so we don't have to worry too much." Marin stood in front of you and spread her hands: "But apart from their residence, as far as I know, they have a manor outside the city...... So, call for a wave of reinforcements first. ”

………………

The reinforcements came quickly, and they surprised Marin, but when he saw the head of the Church of the God of Justice, Marin was a little relieved - it was still the white-bearded half-elf, who looked old, but he seemed to have the vitality that was not lost to the young man, and he smiled at Marin deliberately.

"Your Excellency, I don't know your name yet." Marin smiled and paid his respects to the elder.

"Marian, I have a grandfather who is a native of Thailand." The half-elf old man replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Marian, for showing up."

"Nothing, little one, I do want to see how you, old Hoffman's little apprentice, behave."

"Then please take a look." Marin smiled and nodded at Whitebeard, then turned to the Pulsatilla and made a gesture of please: "Your Excellency Charles of the Church of the God of War, let's go and have a look." ”

"Well, like Marrian, I also want to see what is desirable about this little apprentice of old Hoffman." The Pulsatilla, who came from the Church of the God of War and had a few apprentices, glanced at the little mage as he spoke, and when the agents went to call the carriage, he asked Marin: "Hoffman's apprentice, what do you think about this?" ”

"Charles, what do you mean by asking a ten-year-old." Hearing this, Marian turned his head to look at his peers: "He's just a kid who has never seen blood. ”

But Pulsatilla shook his head: "If he is someone else's apprentice, then I am making things difficult for him by doing so, but he is the apprentice of old Hoffman, the apprentice taught by this old fox, you can't look at him from the point of view of a simple child." Then he looked at Marin: "Come, tell me your opinion." ”

Marin thought for a while, the pulsatilla in front of him should have a little holiday with his mentor, but this kind of festival is not like a big feud, so he wants to test himself, in this case, Marin doesn't want to embarrass himself and his mentor: "I think that man is more like an infected." ”

Yes, it's the infected person, not the source of the infection.

The source of infection is the source of a xenomorphization event, usually a person who believes in an evil god, but it is also possible that he only obtains the beacon of the evil god (some kind of physical object) and passively becomes the source of infection, and if it is not destroyed, the source of infection will infect everyone it touches, which is why sometimes the xenomorphization event becomes very serious, and at the worst time, half of the people in a city become xenomorph puppets.

This situation is not uncommon in history, and in the Middle Ages, it was not uncommon for the situation to end in a massacre because the situation was out of control.

As for in modern times...... It can only be said that it is more efficient.

"Oh." Mr. Charles the Bearded did not speak, but the Pulsatilla Marrian spoke: "Why do you think so?" ”

"The intelligence said that he returned to his hometown a week ago, and we made an assumption that if he was the source of infection, why did he not do anything during the week, but came to the square on the third day of the harvest festival, and brought nothing, this is not even an attack, but a standard suicide operation, I have done empathy, the book says that the source of xenoinfection will become extremely cunning, so any source of infection who still has the slightest sense of sanity should not and cannot do so." Marin looked at the two old men and said, "So, I think this man is just a poor worm who has been infected without knowing it, it is so close to the source of infection that it has been infected like this in just a week, he said that he often has nightmares, so, I have a bold hypothesis, but I need the support of intelligence." ”

Speaking of this, Marin raised his head and looked at the two old men: "I want to know how many children Julian Gonger has, and how old they are. ”

Pulsatilla and Whitebeard glanced at each other, and then Mr. Charles smiled and replied: "Julian Gonger has three children, the eldest son is twenty-four years old and serves in the army in the north, the second son is twenty-two years old, and at the age of sixteen he was tested for his talent in magic, and has been working in the Church of the God of Business in Birmingham in the north since the year before, and his third child is a daughter, who is currently ......" The Whitebeard was silent for a moment, and Pulsatilla picked up his topic: "The third daughter, Mariana Gonger, is in the west of the city, Anna Gunger. Faris, Charles, and Lynch, we need to gather more people. ”

The old mage, known as Lynch, nodded, "I'd better summon my squad of substitutes, if you want to go to the Anna Farris Academy to find out, we are not enough people at this time." ”

"Yes, although I think that his wife has a problem, but the assumption made by this little thing is not wrong, if his wife has a problem, then it will not take a week at all." Pulsatilla said this, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and the pastor of the God of War Church on the side walked over: "Your Excellency, your command." ”

"You go back to the church, gather all the surrogates and punishers who are in Hugh, inform the guild, ask them to send some men, and then take them to the Anna Fareis Academy of Arts in the west of the city, we need a large-scale cleaning and screening operation, report my decision to the archbishop of Fort Carter and Start City, we are in trouble." Marian said as he looked at his agent.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I'll go." The priest jumped on the horse - horses are still excellent personal vehicles in this world, at least they are cheaper and better maintained than motorcycles that use psionic hedrons.

"Your Excellency, the carriage is here." The little mage sitting next to the carriage appeared on the street corner with the carriage at this time.

Marlin tilted his neck.

The tall man finally made Marin see the problem - there were furry ears lying behind his head.

Marin raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the surrogate who had been waiting for a long time immediately walked over with a smile: "Marin, is there something wrong?" ”

"Go to the port district and tell us about the lovely just maiden, and we'll see you in front of the gates of the Anna Fariss Academy of Art."

"Let's go, old friend." Marian patted his friend on the shoulder: "Hoffman's luck is really good, isn't it." ”

"yes." After speaking, the white-bearded old man stretched out his hand and rubbed Ma Lin's little head: "In my life, I have never fought against him once." ”

It's not that he's angry, it's not a black hand, it's just a pure elder's love for the younger generation.

………………

After inspecting the port area from the inside out, the Just Maiden found that she had not found anything at all - no infected hapless bastards, and from the information obtained from the Port Entry and Exit Bureau, it was known that Mr. Julian Gongel left the port area directly after passing the inspection, so that the Just Maiden could not confirm the remnants of chaotic energy.

This just proves that Mr. Julian comes and goes quickly, and he doesn't stay here for a second longer.

"It looks like I'm leaving so quickly to see my family sooner." As she looked in the direction of the city, she could sense psionic fluctuations from afar: "It's a friendly messenger." She stood in the middle of the street, watched as a horse appeared quickly, and then circled in front of her: "Your Excellency! I bring news from Lord Marin! See you at the gates of the Anna Farisse Academy of Art! ”

Anna Fariss Academy of Art...... What do you mean? When the messenger left, the just maiden was still thinking.

But she was destined to have no answers.

And she doesn't need an answer.

"Your Excellency Marin needs us, and it must not be for us, the apostles of the God of Justice, to act as human models for those wastes." The fair girl smiled and snapped her fingers, and the carriage that the church had prepared immediately began to start, and the paladins had already boarded it, and she jumped on it as it passed by.

"Anna Fariss Academy of Art!"

Sitting in the driver's seat, the fair girl clasped her hands to her chest.

"Hopefully it's going to be a glorious battle."
