Beckland's subway, to put it bluntly, is the railroad tracks and steam trains laid in the city, and Esther still chooses the third-class seat. But this time, instead of crowding and grabbing the few seats with others, she found a corner that could lean against the window of the car, unfolded the map and stood all the way, which made it more convenient for her to communicate with Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu once again made a suggestion to ask Esther to find someone to ask for help, although he repeatedly emphasized the "Amon Family Mutual Aid Regulations" and other statements, Esther could easily identify the malicious lies hidden in the words from Xiao Qi's sneering attitude.

Even the "bearer bank account" mentioned by Xiao Wu, Esther denied it, and her spiritual intuition almost buzzed in this regard, so Esther adopted a complete veto policy.

"You don't have a spiritual intuition at all! Don't kid yourself! ”

Xiao Wu scolded hatefully, and then entered a deep sleep of isolation from the world.

"Were you as angry as Xiao Wu at the time?"

Xiao Qi blinked innocently, looking very well-behaved: "No, it's just that he was more affected by you." He's an Amon with better self-esteem than I am, and that may have something to do with our respective experiences. ”

"It's not the same even when they're all small bugs?"

"Of course, it's like every hair you have, even if it's similar, they're a little different."

Esther looked at the window of the steam train, looking at her strange and familiar reflection from the inside, a few points of light came out of her sideburns, chased two laps and then shrank back, Esther put away the map and sighed: "I have to admit that what you said makes a lot of sense." ”

"Seriously, you should buy a newspaper. Looking at the map for so long, it's easy to think that your mind isn't right. Xiao Qi whispered in her ear.

Esther looked up at the man sitting in the chair next to her, a man in the prime of life in a dark blue worker's suit, his ill-fitting overalls stretched by his muscles.

The man turned his head sideways the moment Esther's gaze flickered, pretending to be looking out the window at the tunnel.

But Esther had already noticed through the reflection of the car window that this person was looking at her, he had boarded the train two stops ago, and only walked with the flow of people at the last stop, and took advantage of his height to sweep the map that Esther had slightly blocked his face, and then kept checking the situation around her, and immediately squeezed out the people who were originally sitting in that position.

Noticing that no one else was touching Esther, the man stared noticeably closer, and his body showed the hyena's excitement at sniffing its prey.

"I look like I'm such a bully? It's a tough ......."

Amid the sound of marching, Esther's whispers were muffled.

The next stop of the steam train is the south area of the bridge.

The train slowly entered the station, and Esther walked slowly to the door, and at the moment the door opened, Esther made a stealthily grasping motion at the man under the cover of her trench coat. She straightened up suddenly, as if she had risen from a chair, and walked briskly off the steam train.

The man remained in a trance, and it was not until the steam train whistled and set off again that he came back to his senses and felt empty in his head. He quickly looked around, but the young woman with pale blonde hair was long gone.

Because of her unfamiliar ability to steal "non-physical objects" like this, Esther was so nervous that she grabbed everything she could steal, including the man's upcoming actions and many memories. This is completely irresistible for an ordinary person, and in the case of Esther's "too much force", the man's mind is even suppressed into a blank for several minutes.

Esther walked out of the station, digesting what she had just stolen, and briefly analyzed the man's identity with the help of the "decryption scholar".

"Traffickers in the East End are so messy? The security there was much worse than I had imagined. Tsk, they specialize in young girls and young girls, and they know what kind of business they are...... What a scumbag, I should have stolen his wallet! ”

"You're now admitting to stealing again?" Xiao Qi said lazily, not worried about Esther's personal safety at all, a sequence five "dream stealer" plus those abilities of the strange light point, if he couldn't kick the ass of an ordinary person, then Esther would still be parasitized by other Amon as soon as possible.

Xiao Qi tilted his head, and suddenly looked forward to the situation when Esther was in more trouble.

——

Amid Esther's jumbled arguments such as "plundering the rich and helping the poor" and "exercising the law in place of heaven", she took to the streets of the southern part of the bridge. Compared with the price of goods marked at the door of the shop next to the steam train station, she was much more comforted, and the few more sures in her arms than when she set off also gave Esther a little comfort.

Of course, things are still more expensive than Tingen.

Walking a few stops away, Esther stumbled upon a church in the south side of the bridge, right on Yuejihua Street. The golden spire reflects the light from the sky beyond the haze, like a small carved pile of sand, which stands out among the reddish-brown or blue-gray roofs. The emblem of life is carved on the outer wall, and the symbols of ears of wheat, flowers, and spring water surround the outside of the stick figure, which means that it is quite beautiful and gentle.

Esther took a look inside as she passed by the door, and the harvest church of the Mother Earth Church was quite deserted, with no people at the door at all, and few believers.

This is very much in line with the marginalization of the Church of Mother Earth God in the Kingdom of Rune, after all, the base of this church is in Fenerport, even if it is also the Orthodox Church, the contradictions between the churches are quite complicated, such as the Storm Lord and the Church of the Eternal Sun are extremely hostile, full of historical legacy factors that Esther does not know much.

It's just that now it seems that those things are quite far away from her life.

Esther walked to the other end of the street, intending to look around for cheap rentals that didn't require identification.

Thinking about it this way, she had better get an identity certificate, otherwise the jobs she could find would be quite limited.

At this moment, someone came out of the church and called out to Esther, who wanted to leave: "Ma'am, do you need to come in and sit down?" ”

Esther looked back and saw that he was an unusually tall, clergyman, wearing a bishop's soft hat painted with the symbol of golden ears of wheat, his light blue eyes revealing a softness that did not match his large frame, his face was covered with vicissitudes of life and clear wrinkles, and his pale eyebrows were stable in a horizontal position, confirming his peaceful and peaceful mood swings.

There was nothing important, so Esther walked over calmly, and Xiao Qi on her shoulder was also looking at the bishop with her.

But upon approaching, Esther immediately regretted her actions, without him, the bishop was too tall!

Not knowing how many meters he had, Esther stepped forward, feeling that she was almost crushed by a wall, and her neck felt strained when she looked up and spoke.

"Hello Mr. Bishop, I'm just a little curious, and I don't mean to be offended."

The tall bishop smiled slightly, and guided Esther into the church of Mother Earth with a gesture, and since there was no warning from spiritual intuition, Esther did not want to arouse the other party's guard, so she quietly followed.

There was no one in the church, only rows of heavy wooden seats in the hall, waiting quietly for the believers to place their bodies and minds, the candlesticks on both sides were wiped to the ground, and the huge emblem of life in the front was the best place to let the light shine, and the light passed through the stained-glass flower beds, streams, and wheat fields, surrounding the babies in the middle.

Esther was reluctant to engage with the official Extraordinaries because of her status, but she did not reject the clergy of the various churches. In Esther's concept, she didn't think that a person would be looked at by the true god, especially after staying in Tingen's night watch, Esther, who had not been exposed to ritual magic and the spirit world, had a lot of deviations in her concept of the true god.

The gods should not be cabbage, there are all over the ground. Esther thought so.

However, the bishop did not seem to be an ordinary person, and he had a power in him that made Esther feel a little familiar, but because of the bishop's own restraint, Esther was not sure where she had felt similar extraordinary power fluctuations. If there was an accident, she would have a lot of confidence to get out, after all, there was no one else in the prayer hall, and she would feel it as soon as she entered.

If she can't beat her, she should always be able to run.

Esther couldn't keep quiet all the time, but walking in the prayer hall, she still subconsciously lowered her voice: "Is there something you are looking for me?" ”

The bishop glanced at her curiously, and said, "I just feel that since I have guests, I should fulfill my duty." It rarely welcomes guests, but the Church of the Mother God does not turn anyone away. You can find the location you like. ”

Esther sat down in the first row and watched as the bishop walked to the front of her under the emblem, she was only a few steps away from Esther, so that Esther could get a better view of the bishop in his entirety.

Because he was standing in the brightest position in the entire prayer hall, it seemed that his back was gilded with a soft golden light.

The bishop's broad forehead and cheekbones, deep features, and thick nose are typical features of the Fursacks, including his giant-like height. Legend has it that the people living in the Vorsack Empire have the blood of the ancient giants, so they are far taller than ordinary people, and both men and women have a natural advantage in size.

Under Esther's gaze, the bishop smoothed the wrinkles of his brown bishop's robes and placed his hands in front of him. He didn't even need to take out the holy scriptures before the familiar words leaped out of his lips and spread out in the quiet and solemn prayer hall:

"The breeze flutters its wings,

On a golden wheat field

Write celebratory songs.

Colorful flower fields with a gentle breeze,

Spit out low-cut whispers,

Passing on the autumn waves.

Mother came near to the earth,

Infinite sounds, shadows and brilliance,

Playing freely on the baby's warm cheeks.

The vastness of the land, the longness of the streams,

It seems to ripple out the trance of all beings

Wonderful smiles, thousands of looks,

All attributed to the joy of the harvest. ”*

As the bishop chanted, Esther gradually relaxed, and Xiao Qi landed on her lap, allowing Esther to gently stroke her feathers, but her half-squinted eyes were full of wariness.

Esther blindly believed in spiritual intuition, and the details that she inadvertently ignored, Xiao Qi could see very clearly, the bishop's palm had a thick callus sharpened by a sword for many years, and his body was full of the smell of killing.
