Chapter 19: Covert Investigation
CHAPTER XIX
The Blue Moon Sect Protector Guardian was a little hesitant, but still said, "There may be people who are imitating demons and witches, but I haven't seen this happen before. ”
The air around him suddenly fell silent, and Pastor Baker turned his gaze and whispered, "Mr. Bruce, are you teaching me how to judge?"
The priest's tone was unusually peaceful, like the tone of conversation between friends.
The middle-aged church guard immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "I beg your pardon, Pastor Baker, you are right, I will receive the punishment." ”
Priest Baker waved his hand, "It seems that you don't know the methods of the Witch Stream, he is good at disguise, and will hide among ordinary people, and even among the clergy. ”
Looking at the pale face of the church guard, the pastor changed his words and said, "But most likely it is the infidels, those foreign and rich heretics, how did they get their money? It is very likely that some evil means were used, am I right?"
The Church Guardian no longer dared to speak wildly, and a report came from outside that a traveling Blue Moon Catholic had asked for the priest's help.
The pastor recited a prayer and then asked the messenger to invite someone in.
The one who asked for help was a richly dressed young nobleman with an anxious look on his face, "Only Blue Moon cherishes the world, hello Lord Pastor, I need your help." ”
It turned out that this was a noble heir named García Green, who was passing through the place, but he was anxious about the accidental loss of an important family medal in the city of Fog Castle, and he inquired about the situation in Fog Castle, and finally decided to seek the help of his own church, Blue Moon Shinrikyo.
Beck, the seemingly friendly and friendly priest, was not so easy to help, and finally after Garcia decided to donate a large sum of money to the local church, the priest called a knight of the church and asked him to bring some sect guards to help him find the lost family medal.
......
A human woman in a magician's costume left the Church of Fortune and walked to the empty place across the street, and suddenly spoke: "The group of disciples of the Goddess of Fortune are beginning to suspect something, and their priest is also acting a little abnormal. ”
In the darkness of the hidden place, a short dwarf figure suddenly walked out, it was Olivia, the head of the Aoyue Circus, and replied in a cold voice: "How to investigate is your business, we will only provide you with some peripheral cover." ”
"This is the witch's method, it is the filth of the world, don't forget what you have received money from the Silver Flame Church and promised. ”
Olivia took a deep look at the woman, her name was Rey, a priest of the Silverflame Holy See, and the sacrifice was an old name reserved by some churches, and her status was equivalent to that of ordinary priests. And Silver Flame's faith makes this sect incompatible with evil and darkness, and basically every member of the sect has a jealous and hateful character.
"Then start with the pastor of the local Fortune Church, these strange things, he will not be unaware of these strange things. ”
......
"It seems that you passed by the territory of the Black Street Brotherhood and then lost your family crest, is that the case?"
As a well-armored knight inquired, the young nobleman thought back and was sure: "Yes, I remember this place, where there are many filthy little cubs begging in groups during the day. ”
"I kindly scattered some copper, and when I got back, I found that the money bag was gone. ”
After hearing this, the knight waved his hand and called out to a lower-level church guard, "Find their person in charge, it's that bastard with a bit of aristocratic blood, Quaid." ”
After a while, it was not Quaid who came, but his deputy Jamie, who leaned over and gave a Blue Moon salute and said, "Blue Moon is above, Lord Knight, Quaid went to his uncle, you know that his uncle is the butler of Lord Councillor of the City Hall. ”
The knight frowned after hearing this, and he pointed at the noble young man next to him again, "Have you seen this noble gentleman? ”
Jamie hurriedly said, "I'm sorry Mr. Noble, but I am an orphan here who lives by begging, and no one dares to steal your things." ”
The knight of the rank is equal to the strength of a first-order professional, and before the noble young man could speak, he was already impatient, and said: "Don't try to perfunctory the eyes of the clergy, give you a day, tomorrow morning, I will get the result." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the group turned and left.
Jamie froze in place, he was a little afraid that he would not find the result, and the lightest of stealing nobles was also the whipping of Xing, and even more serious would be sent to become a slave soldier on the battlefield.
Back in the dilapidated house, Jamie immediately gathered all the nearby beggars and interrogated them one after another, but unfortunately there was no result, and he had to wait until the evening to report directly to Quaid.
The beggars were a little frightened of today's events, and they all returned to the house to talk quietly, and a beggar in the seventh room said: "Boss Carré, I have inquired clearly, a nobleman has lost something nearby, and I heard that it is a very important thing that has been stolen." ”
"Nonsense, the guys from the Blue Moon are here, doesn't it matter? Quaid will definitely get angry again at night, and maybe hand us over to confess our guilt. ”
"Oh my God, it wasn't like two beatings, half to death by Quaid, and then one beating to the nobles or the adults of the church. ”
Carley's eyes narrowed, he thought about it, and a lowly figure flashed in his heart, and he said: "I have thought of a way, don't be afraid, none of us have to be beaten, the thief who dares to steal the nobles must be bold and low-blooded." ”
One of the attendants suddenly thought, "Boss Carré, you mean the half-elf? But he, if he knew, he wouldn't give up." ”
"Don't care about him, a lowly half-elf has become a thief to the nobility, what qualifications does he have to do against him?"
After a while, several beggars from the seventh house rushed out, and they all ran to Quaid's return route to wait, and when they saw Quaid carrying a pile of ale, several beggars respectfully surrounded him.
Quaid, who was in a good mood, rarely did not hit anyone, but after hearing the beggar led by Carré tell the story of the incident, he was still furious.
After Quaid slapped a few beggars, he went back to settle accounts with a half-elf cub named 'Loki'.
Carré hurriedly stopped him and said, "Boss Quaid, please don't worry. ”
"Quid Boss...... You can wait until tomorrow when the church comes, and then beat him hard, if you beat him half to death now and still can't find anything, you will be considered a trick by the nobles and the adults of the church. ”
It was the first time that Carré had spoken so fluently in so many words, of course it was all planned, and one of his henchmen, Tess, had the idea that Tales usually kept quiet, and calculated that the half-elf was really a biting dog who didn't bark.
Quaid finally listened to this advice, anyway, there will always be a little cub to bear the blame, who does it matter?
After returning to the dilapidated house, Jamie also told him the whole story, and Quaid took a sip of ale and said, "This matter is simple, I already have an idea, sleep in peace, tomorrow we can find the thief and appease the church and the nobles." ”
