Chapter 394: Unpleasant Cooperation
Dominic stood in the alley across the street from Huttonmar Town Hall with his arms crossed, waiting for the arrival of Boken, the Duchy's secret envoy, whose whereabouts were really difficult to grasp, and because he had not had much contact with him, he was almost convinced that this cooperation would not be pleasant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At first, he was reluctant to go to the yin and yang creature, because the other priests of the Order who had worked with him had the impression that Boken was a man who cherished words like gold. Dominic didn't know if he could have a good conversation with him, which was an extremely important part of the cooperation. In short, he took into account all the factors of instability. Eventually, he found himself believing only in the golden cross he was carrying.
Boken appeared ten minutes later, the guy jumped over Dominic's head, and at that moment he almost thought that someone was trying to sneak up on him. But when the sinister man in the mask and white robe appeared in Dominic's sight, he knew it was Boken and not the attacker.
"You're finally here?" Dominic said with a hint of disdain.
"Let's go. Boken whispered.
"Where are you going?" asked Dominic.
Boken waved with a very small movement, "I got a piece of information that maybe the children's disappearance could be related to the gangsters in Huttonmaar's backstreets." ”
"Interesting, let's go. Dominic walked out of the alley first bypassing Boken, and now he felt that communicating with Boken was not a particularly difficult thing to do, at least it did not purify the pretenders and make it difficult for their souls to be redeemed.
Without saying a word, Boken followed behind him, gradually picking up his pace until his body remained parallel to Dominic's. Boken didn't tell Dominic where this information came from, and in fact, all the latter wanted was to complete the task given to him by Golantis as soon as possible. More than that, he wanted to know what the real revelation was, and he had a lot of questions about it.
Dominica doesn't like the backstreet environment, and of course, not many people are interested in this dirty place. Along the way, he watched with disdain at the people who lived in the shadows, and in order to stay alive, they continued to do horrific things with their rotten bodies. Dominic thought that God must have lost his eyeballs, or he would not have seen the dark side in God's place.
Boken, who was walking beside him, suddenly stopped and whispered to Dominic. "Remember, don't alarm the gangsters. ”
"I know, and I'm not interested in shooting those guys in the first place. Dominic said nonchalantly.
"Very well, let's go. Boken continued to walk forward, and Dominic glanced at him with a complaining look, he couldn't say anything about this sinister-looking fellow, he just wanted to end this boring collaboration as soon as possible.
There are many reasons to do something, but Dominic has always disagreed with the Order's approach, and he even scoffs at the Order's desire for true revelation for children. But he knew that he could not shake the high priests, and that their minds could not be changed. Because in any case, they contribute far more to people than they do.
At this point, he was glad that Evie was thinking the same way as himself. But what worries him the most is Golantis, who seems to be always oscillating between the two, and despite Dominic's repeated questions about Golantis, the other party never answers him directly. This made him feel distressed and wary of Golantis, which he was unwilling to do. But his heart told him he had to do that.
Eventually, Boken and Dominic were parked in a secluded alley in the back street. Rats, spiders and garbage are the masters here. With the foul smell coming from the garbage heap, Dominic's expression of annoyance rose to the extreme.
"So, this is where you found it?" asked Dominic.
"A few homeless people who used to wander around the neighborhood told me that they sometimes heard the cries of children and the beating and scolding of the mob coming from the alley at night. Boken replied in a low voice.
"It's not easy, I think you've seen it too, the people here are just a bunch of abandoned unlucky people, how do you communicate with those guys?" Dominic was interested in that.
"It doesn't matter. Boken did not directly answer Dominic's question. "Do you have any ideas?"
Dominic pouted, "Well, I don't trust anyone here, no one does." Don't you doubt that what they tell you is just one side of the story? If your method is to give these people a little favor, then a little favor will make everyone here flock to this place where God will never come. ”
Boken looked away and looked at Dominic with his emerald pupils. "Are you really a member of the Order?"
"You doubt me?" said Dominic, sneering.
"No, it's just ......" Boken shook his head slightly. "Forgive my rudeness, I have never seen a priest as loose and seemingly irresponsible as you. ”
"Whatever you may say, I'm used to hearing these words. Dominic shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Boken clearly had no intention of continuing an argument with him, and he stopped staring at Dominic, the face that confused him. Instead, he turned his head in the other direction and looked at the ground, trying to find some traces. Dominic, who was behind him, sighed and rubbed his head. "Damn it......" he muttered, and sure enough, he still couldn't work well with this strange fellow, and he already wanted to quit.
There is no shortage of coincidences, and when Evie leaves Sophia's shelter, in order to find out the truth as quickly as possible, she decides to go to the alley where you can hear children crying after midnight. She had come in from the other side of the alley, and the first thing she saw was Dominic and Boken, who had become wary of someone approaching.
When he saw that it was Evie, the wariness on Dominic's face quickly disappeared. "Why are you here?" his words made Boken gradually let down his guard, it seemed that Dominic knew the girl who suddenly appeared.
"Aunt Sophia told me that she sometimes hears the cries of children and the screams of villains in this alley at midnight, which is probably related to the recent disappearance of the homeless children. I can't say for sure yet, but I've decided to check it out. So, it looks like you and I have the same purpose, right? Hello, Mr. Boken. Evie politely bowed slightly to Boken, who quickly returned the favor with a bow.
There is no doubt that Evie's words made Dominic, who had just been very unhappy with Boken, feel a little embarrassed. Indeed, Boken also turned around at this time and said to Dominic. "Now, are you still skeptical?"
"Hell, poor worms, they're so honest. Dominic said disdainfully.
"Can't you just work well with Mr. Boken?, the Order doesn't have much time left for us, so it's our priority to find out as soon as possible the specific cause of the children's disappearance. Evie said with some dissatisfaction.
"The Holy Knights, created by Lord Roshbach, have indeed taught you many things, and I apologize to you and Mr. Boken for my carelessness. "Dominic is not an extremely self-centered guy, in fact he, like many people, is too anxious. With a reverent expression, he bowed his head slightly, placed his right hand on his chest, and apologized to both of them, while asking the gods to forgive him for his ramblings.
"Lift up, Dominic. God will forgive you for your carelessness, as long as there is a glimmer of responsibility in our hearts. ”
