Having to investigate without triggering the anomaly, causing the cycle to restart early, Lumian can only consider starting from the edge of the problem and going deeper step by step depending on the situation.

His initial idea was to find the mistresses of the parish priest this afternoon, and use eavesdropping, clichés, etc., to see what they knew, and if there was no gain, or a temporary lack of opportunities, then go to the church to see if he could meet the parish priest and talk to him face to face about the daily life in the village.

Lumian's first target was Sybil. Berry, who was both a parish priest, Guillaume. Bennet's mistress and shepherd Pierre. Berry's sisters, who are closely connected to both anomalous figures, may know something.

- Lumien's friend Guillaume Jr., also known as Guillaume. Berry, and Pierre. Berry is a distant cousin who doesn't even have the same hair color and doesn't live together.

Sybil. Berry is twenty-four years old, married, and her husband's name is Jean. Murray is a middle-aged man who is almost forty years old.

He has been single for more than thirty years, and the reason why he was able to marry Sybil. Berry, because there are no dowry requirements.

And Sybil. Berry was willing to marry with very little fortune, and Lumien suspected that it was because she had become the mistress of the parish priest at the time and needed a husband to be the father of a possible illegitimate child, and the parish priest had secretly promised something.

Although the Intis atmosphere is open, the phenomenon of illegitimate children is very common, and many husbands or wives are still willing to leave their spouse's illegitimate children at home after knowing about it, after all, this is equivalent to a number of male servants or maids who do not want money in the future, and they have no right to divide the property, but the clergy of the "Eternal Sun" church are not allowed to marry and have children, and they often find a cheap father for their illegitimate children.

Lumian came all the way to Jean. The Maury House, a low-rise house on the edge of the village of Cordu.

It is grayish-white in color and has only one floor, with the bedroom behind the kitchen and the basement on the other side, which serves as barrel storage and a living and dining room.

As for the bathroom, there was no one, just a shed was built at the back of the house.

Lumien went in without knocking, crept to the side of the house, and crouched under the bedroom window.

At this point, someone was sitting inside, and Lumien could hear his breathing and judge the corresponding height accordingly.

It didn't take long for the sound of light footsteps to reach the bedroom from the kitchen.

There is no need to calculate, as a "hunter", Lumian naturally has the approximate weight of the owner of the footsteps in his mind.

This is supposed to be a woman, probably Sybil. Berry.

In Lumian's impression, Sybil. Berry's black hair is supple, and he doesn't like to pull it up like other women, but simply drapes it or ties it into a ponytail, giving people the feeling that she is still a girl before she is married.

Her facial features are not outstanding, but they are soft and round, and they are very fleshy.

At this time, Jean, who had been silent in the bedroom. Maury spoke, and he said sullenly:

"Did the parish priest come this afternoon?"

His voice, like his own, was rather muffled - he belonged to the kind of person who usually chatted under the elm tree in the village square, and everyone spoke four or five sentences before replying, plus the black hair was often too lazy to comb, the brown eyes were not bright, and the beard was not very clean, and the whole looked gloomy.

"I've been here." Sybil. Berry's voice still had a little girlish clarity.

She was born that way.

Let. Maury was silent for a while and then asked:

"Did you do that kind of thing?"

"It's done." Sybil replied calmly.

Let. Murray was silent again, and waited for Sybil to go to the kitchen again before he said:

"I don't have much to say about the priest, but you have to watch out for other men, especially Pato. Russell. ”

Pato. Russell is Madina. Bennet's husband and his wife were also mistresses of the parish priests.

Lumien under the window outside listened to himself secretly:

What a mess this relationship is!

He glanced at the parish priest's desires again, and came to Sybil in the afternoon. Berry, who is going on a date with Mrs. Poalis in the evening, can be called a model worker in the world of cheating.

But if he could allocate more energy in this area to church affairs, combined with his own scheming and skill, he would have been able to improve his divine character and become an extraordinary person a long time ago.

- The divine quality is the rank of the clergy of the "Eternal Sun" Church, the first is called the priest, the second is the chanter, the third is the chanter, the fourth is the celebrant, also known as the auxiliary priest, the fifth is the auxiliary priest, the sixth is the auxiliary priest, also known as the priest, priest or priest, the seventh is the bishop, in some places it is also called the priest and priest, the eighth is the archbishop, the ninth is the cardinal, and the pope is not in the ranks of the gods.

Among them, starting from the sixth grade, it is called a high-level divine product, which is very likely to have extraordinary abilities in Aurel's words, while the lowest-level third grade is mainly to do some church chores and ritual assistance, and has existed in name only in the last few hundred years, and is not regarded as a real clergy, the fourth-rank celebrant is usually a recent student who has graduated from the seminary, and the fifth-rank deputy assistant priest can preside over a church in a rural area on behalf of a real priest.

The same is true in the village of Koldu, where a fifth-rank deputy assistant priest serves as the parish priest, and a fourth-rank celebrant serves as the priest of the duplicate hall, with a few miscellaneous servants.

Guillaume. Bennet only needs to be promoted one more grade, and he will be a real pastor.

"I see." Sybil. Berry simply responded to her husband's admonition.

Let. Murray changed the subject:

"Your brother Pierre has returned?"

"Yes, there's an important ritual that needs his help afterward." Sybil explained casually.

Rite? Lumien's eyelids jumped.

Let. Murray asked:

"Lent celebrations?"

"No, God's ritual." Sybil replied impatiently, "Don't ask too much, you'll know when the time comes." ”

Let. Maury "um" and said:

"Praise the sun!"

Sybil didn't respond, and walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen.

Lumian instantly made a judgment:

Sybil to the parish priest and shepherd Pierre. Berry has some understanding of what Berry is secretly doing while her husband Jean. Maury was completely unaware!

The ritual she spoke of was not a "sacrifice" at Lent, but probably related to the twelfth night!

Having gained a little, Lumian left Maury's house and headed for Pato. Russell and Madina. The two-story building where Bene lived rushed to it.

Unlike Sybil, Madina. Bennet was married with his share of the property, Pato. Russell also got his fair share from his original family, so they were able to build a decent house, and entrusted more than twenty sheep to the shepherds to graze.

When Madina became the mistress of the parish priest, Lumien did not know, he only knew that in the recent year, before hooking up with Madame Poalis, the parish priest liked to find Madina the most, perhaps because of the taboo of his identity.

At this time, the school administrator had two gentlemanly beards of Pato. As Russell paced in the kitchen, he asked Madina, who was directing the maid's work:

"When will you invite the parish priest again?"

He looked eager, hoping to cling to the powerful man in the village of Cordu.

Madina, glancing at Pato's father's illegitimate daughter, the servant who cooked, said in a subtle tone:

"I don't know, it depends on his mood."

And his physical condition, right? Lumian, who was eavesdropping outside in a hidden place, muttered silently.

"Haven't you been going to church a lot lately to pray? You can ask him by the way. "Pato. Russell refused to give up.

Frequent church attendance? Lumian frowned.

The parish priests are plotting something in the shadows in the church?

What a shame on the "Eternal Sun" and Saint-Sith......

After listening a little longer, he walked from Russell's house to the church at the edge of the village square, hoping to speak to the parish priest face to face.

But when he arrived at the church, the parish priest Guillaume . Bennet is no longer here, only Father Michelle of the Replica Hall remains. Garigu stood in front of the altar.

This is a foreigner, from Dariege, a graduate of the Bigol Theological Seminary, who was sent by the bishop last year to the village of Cordu to be Guillaume. Bene's deputy, who is usually very ostracized, is only responsible for the registration of funerals, marriages and children.

During the last cycle, Lumian went to the church and happened to meet the parish priest leaving, and he asked him to pray the next day, without giving Michelle the opportunity to listen to the prayers and confessions of the faithful.

Michelle is taller, no shorter than the previous Lumien (because of the "Hunter" potion, Lumien feels like he has grown two or three centimeters taller, almost one meter eight), and is a delicate young man with brown curly hair and a slight youth.

Looking at Michelle in a white gold-trimmed robe. Garigu, Lumian directly opened his arms:

"Praise the sun!"

After the salute, he stared at Michelle, wanting to see how the priest would react to the liturgy of the Church of the Eternal Sun.

If there was some hesitation, Lumien would have been able to determine that he had been dragged into the water by the parish priests.

Michelle. Gary Guli immediately replied in the same pose:

"Praise the sun!"

He didn't hesitate, his brown eyes were full of joy and anticipation.

From Madinah. According to Bennet's words, the group of priests of the main parish often discuss things here, and as a priest of the dungeon, Michelle should have a certain sense of it, right? Lumian didn't ask directly, glanced left and right, and said:

"The parish priest is not here?"

"It's been a while since I left." Michelle replied, "Three strangers looked for him a quarter of an hour ago, but they didn't find him." ”

The priest of the Replica Hall had a warm look in his eyes, as if he was saying whether he wanted to make a confession by the way.

Considering that the parish priest might have gone around and hid back in the church, waiting for Madame Poalis to bring dinner, and was eavesdropping on his conversation with Michelle, Lumian sighed deliberately:

"Forget it, I'll come back tomorrow and pray."

Michelle's eyes lost their brilliance at once.

Lumian turned around and walked out of the church, intending to wait for the night to get darker before sneaking to Michelle's quarters to see if he could ask for useful information.

When he saw that the sun was about to set, he returned to his house and said to Aurel, who had set his plate:

"Did you find anything?"

Aurel bowed her head slightly:

"In addition to the anomalies you mentioned, I also found that the priest of the Copy Hall, Michelle. Garigu has a bit of a problem. ”

"Huh?" Lumien made no secret of his surprise.
