The gloomy sky overhead was dark and deep, and the sun was faintly shining out from behind the gray clouds, but there was no way to see much.

It was noon, but the temperature in the air was quite cold, which caused the footsteps of the passers-by to speed up.

Due to his own talent, Charles didn't care about this coldness, but he didn't want to attract too much attention to this kind of thing, so he still added a coat to himself like the people around him.

With a gray coat and a black tuxedo underneath, a white shirt and a black vest, and a silk top hat on his head, he stood there with a straight waist, and if it weren't for the lack of a cane, Charles would have been a perfect gentleman at this moment.

After stepping out of the carriage, before he could leave the place, a greeting was heard in the distance.

"Hey, Charles, here!"

Turning her head, Betty, the petite blond eye, was bouncing up and down to greet him on the other side of the square, and beside her, Connie, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and two ladies she didn't know.

Although Charles wanted to go directly to the church at the moment, he still walked patiently to greet these two acquaintances.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm getting more and more handsome." Deliberately glancing at one of the conspicuous hair colors that peeked out from the brim of his hat, Betty said with a squinting smile. As he spoke, he touched Connie next to him. "You said no."

Connie nodded solemnly.

Charles just smiled at their teasing and didn't say much.

"By the way, this is Mesha, we are from Chauvin Rowlandshire, and this is Carly, who is local like you, and she said she had met your father. They're all from the Gospel Ministry, just like us, but they're in the second group. ”

Betty, who has a rather active temperament, introduces the two beside her, one with brown hair and gray eyes, who is about the same height as Charles. The other is petite but has large eyes.

However, Charles didn't look much at it, and after a few polite glances, he shifted his gaze.

Apparently, however, the two strange ladies were still curious about Charles as a person.

In fact, although Charles did not show himself much during this time, the fact that he was valued by the head of the Gospel Department, Siegel, was basically known to the entire Gospel Department.

These members have a different attitude towards the ministry than Charles, who can hear and respond to any disturbances as soon as possible.

At first, others were a little unconvinced. After all, they are all on the same starting line, who can be better than whom, but when the first version of the interview of Charles appeared in the newspaper yesterday, this disbelief basically disappeared.

Even the brown-haired Meisha was still lamenting that it was no wonder that people were able to be assigned two tasks in succession in just five days, this manuscript was indeed better than their people, and the speed was still fast, not like a rookie at all.

That's right, Charles was assigned another nearby interview assignment by Siegel yesterday and has just returned. Even now, the annoying old man of the oak tree was walking slowly in the direction of the church with a cane.

But Charles didn't show any smugness or joy at this.

Ever since he noticed the vicar's anomaly, and knew that he didn't have much time to salt, he felt a tense sense of urgency.

At this time, I should have found a way to be busy with this matter, but because of the mission of the Ministry of Evangelism, I had to delay a lot of time.

It can only be said that the task does not take much time, and most of it is spent on the road, and you can also figure things out, just like last time. Otherwise, Charles will definitely find a sick or other reason to delay, so at this moment, Charles has actually planned and is ready to implement it, but he just needs to wait for the time to come.

"Do you have a dove ready for tomorrow's Peace Day?"

"Of course, not only the dove of peace, but also the white hats embroidered with ribbons are ready, I just ordered a black yarn from Cassirit coat and hat shop, it is particularly beautiful, and I will take you to see it later."

"What about the garlands? How about a garland? ”

"Hmm...... The garland made of yellow roses should go well with it......"

"Prince Chauvin is in Turin now, and tomorrow's Peace Festival is estimated to be very grand, so we need to dress more solemnly."

"Of course, but I think it's good to dress in accordance with tradition, and forget about the doves of peace, because it is said that the pigeons that are released every year are secretly caught and sold afterwards."

"There's such a thing!?"

……

After a few polite pleasantries, Charles took his leave while the ladies began to chatter about tomorrow's holiday. However, after he moved away from a certain position, they naturally changed the subject.

"Don't say it, Charles is actually still very good."

"Yes, they all say how rude he used to be, and he beat people when he saw them, it's not the same thing at all, I think he's very polite."

"You don't want to think about who he offended, the prince of Dulin, those gossip newspapers naturally can't say it to Charles."

……

The talk behind Charles couldn't be heard, he was already at his destination at the moment.

As his companion, Angus. Oak had already arrived in the "study" of the ministry before him, and when he saw Charles, he only glanced at it for a moment, and continued to look down at the book in his hand.

The mustachioed Siegel sitting behind the desk said hello.

"It's hard work, sit down and rest."

He has always been very enthusiastic about Charles, which is one of the reasons why Charles can be patient.

After a few words of greeting, Siegel took out a letter and handed it to him: "This is the letter of introduction I wrote, and it can be exchanged for corresponding contribution points when you get it to logistics." Your last article was published in the church's internal newspaper, and our initial estimate of the contribution is 15 points, and if it continues to be influential, we may add more. ”

15？

Charles didn't expect to have so many, and thought it would be nice to earn a basic score. While receiving the letter, he subconsciously thought about what spells these contributions could be exchanged for.

Making holy water? Courage blessing? Or the medical eye?

It doesn't seem to be of much use. And thinking that no matter which one he changed, it would not be possible to learn it immediately, so he ignored this matter for the time being.

Seeing that his expression was calm, Siegel was quite appreciative.

"Tomorrow is Peace Day, and the day after tomorrow is the annual big day of prayer at the church of San Caso, so have a good rest during this time, and if you have something, tell me in advance, and if you are in trouble, it will be the same.

You have to trust that the church has your back. ”

Siegel meant something.

Charles felt that he must have known about the undercurrents of Porso during this time.

……

Detective Katie has met a very strange client in the past two days, who can't speak, can't read, and is the most well-behaved in an old-fashioned tattered robe.

But he was able to come up with enough gold to entrust him with the investigation of the information.

At that time, Detective Katie was unheard of when he saw this stumbling piece of paper communicating with him. He even had an urge to rob the other party because of this - no way, this dirt bun is really rich.

It's just that when he saw this situation that seemed to be honest, but actually knocked a fault-finding hooligan to the ground with one punch, this impulse was directly suppressed by him.

Then he began to do things honestly for him.

It's also strange to blame the customer for doing things, and the things he wants to investigate can actually be found out without so much money, mainly the gangsters in Porso City, their deeds, and their addresses.

This kind of thing is completely "sending points" for private detectives who often mix with the three religions and nine streams.

And because this kind of task is too simple, Detective Katie didn't fool around with it, of course, I have to admit that after seeing the strength of that person, he was a little afraid to take risks.

Now, it's time to hand over the task.

Sitting quietly in a chair, time passed, and after a while, there was a knock on the door, and a thin young man pushed open the door and walked in.

Looking at the brown robe, which was still exactly the same as the last time they had seen him, but much dirtier, and seeing him take the information, casually put the final payment on his desk and turned his head away, Detective Katie felt the urge to follow him and investigate.

It's just that as a habit of being a private detective, he finally endured it.

"In this world, only a cautious detective can live longer, can't go, can't go."

Muttering, the young detective turned his head and closed the door of the detective office, deliberately found the opposite direction with the commission, and went out in style.

……

He obviously didn't think that this generous guest was actually not a real person.

After leaving the detective office, the strange man walked towards a nearby street, and when he arrived at his destination, he directly pressed the stack of papers he had just obtained in his hand with bricks and stones under a kerosene street lamp on the side of the road, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention.

Then he turned and walked away.

Soon after, a black-skinned carriage approached slowly, and did not stop, but as it passed, the stack of papers, which had been crushed under the bricks, floated up and approached without wind, and when it reached the edge of the open window, it was caught by a slender white hand probe.
