Back at her home at 47 Red Rose Street, Angel sat on the single sofa by the bay window, counting and counting today's harvest in her hand, and her heart was extremely happy.

Having sold the "Barbarian" recipe and homemade bullets, she now has 900 pounds in cash, and is on the verge of breaking through four figures and reaching the peak of her fortune.

Although there is 100 pounds in the middle that belongs to the balance of the pharmacist Darkwell, it is still in her hands, and Angel is not politely counted together.

"Before going to the south area of the bridge tomorrow, I will go to the bank to save it, it is too easy to steal it at home, well, if I have to run away and I don't have time to take the money away, then I will lose it all."

She plans to go to the Harvest Church in the south area of the bridge tomorrow, Saturday, to find the Bishop Utravsky in the clues provided by the pharmacist, and try to complete his task and get the "pharmacist" recipe.

"If it is really as the other party said, as long as you complete the task and you don't need to pay for it, you can get the formula, then this recipe is equivalent to 200 pounds to buy, and I can sell it to the viscount for 300 pounds, he is so anxious, he should accept it, and may even be grateful to me......"

"This way my deposit broke through the triple digits, reaching 1,200 pounds, which is equivalent to half a sequence 6 formula."

Although Angel's recipe and main ingredient for the "Witch of Pleasure" have been secured, and can be obtained from Severia as the quest close to Miss Audrey is completed, she also needs to consider the possibility of mission failure or even identity exposure.

At that point, it's time to activate the backup plan, try to buy recipes from Lola, and get potion materials at the Extraordinary's gathering.

The recipe for Sequence 6 might cost £1,500 or even £2,000 to buy, and the main ingredient of each potion wouldn't be less than that, so the amount of money I saved was a drop in the bucket.

"By the way, one of the main materials promised by Severia will be available for the weekend, if everything goes well tomorrow, I will go to her house the day after tomorrow, this can't be delayed, and it is the safest ...... to get it."

After arranging the weekend's itinerary, Angel went to the basement to prepare to make bullets from the star crystals he bought today to replenish his combat power and complete the bishop's "mission" tomorrow.

Taking the subway from underground across the Tasok River to the south of the bridge, Angel stepped out of the smog-shrouded subway station and boarded a horse-drawn carriage to Yuejihua Street.

She was fully armed today, except for the tainted "Crimson Eye", all other magical items, weapons, ammunition, and props.

Before going out, she even performed a divination for herself using the pendulum method, confirming that it was not dangerous to go to the southern part of the bridge to meet with the Bishop Utravsky.

After getting off the carriage at the corner of the street, through the thick haze, Angel saw the Harvest Church in the distance.

The church has a golden façade and an emblem of life inscribed with babies surrounded by ears of wheat, flowers, and spring symbols, and the main building is spired, which is out of place in the Rune-style street.

The South End is also one of the larger districts, but it is not as chaotic and poor as the East End, similar to the West District of Tingen, where Angel once stayed, and although it is not as opulent as the other wealthy districts, the streets are clean and the crowds are busy without looking chaotic.

It was time for the morning mass to be completed, the main entrance of the church opened, the faithful walked out in droves, and Angel went against the crowd and into the church hall.

Inside, rows of seats are neatly arranged, and in front of it hangs a huge emblem of life in the same shape as the exterior wall, with a row of candles lit on each side.

A man over two meters tall in a brown priest's uniform stood in front of the altar.

"Bishop Utravsky?"

After seeing that the believers had left, Angel stepped forward and asked tentatively.

The man turned to look at Angel.

He wore a bishop's soft hat, sparse eyebrows, a wrinkled face, and looked like he was forty or fifty years old, and his light blue eyes surrounded by crow's feet revealed a hint of kindness.

"It's me, but people usually call me Father."

"Hello, Father Utravsky," Angel said straight to the point, changing her title, "I heard that you have a thing you would like to entrust, and the reward is the potion recipe of the 'Apothecary'?" ”

The tall priest was silent, and just when Angel thought he would deny it, he pointed to the chair next to him, and then he walked over and sat down.

Angel followed and sat beside him, even though she was of the most distinguished height among the Runnes, and sat beside the priest, who was clearly of Fursak blood, like an underage child, who hunched over his back and propped his elbows on his knees, and said:

"Yes, I don't know where you got the news, but I do need help, but ......" he looked sideways at Angel, "It's dangerous, I think it's hard to complete, are you sure you want to try?" ”

"If it can be solved with gold pounds, of course I choose not to risk it."

Angel replied with a smile, she had gone to Hilston before coming to the South End today, and had deposited a large part of her huge fortune in a bearer account, leaving 300 pounds in her pocket in order to cope with possible expenses.

What's more, you can find a viscount for reimbursement......

She added inwardly.

"It's a pity that I don't sell recipes, it's a commandment."

The priest shook his head.

"Then tell me about your commission, maybe I'm more powerful than you think?"

Angel crossed her legs and looked at the burly priest in a listening posture, who sighed, gave up persuasion, and began to tell her story.

"I was born on the shores of the Mediterranean, and when I was young, I loved to fight and kill, and I did many ridiculous things in Fersak, and finally committed crimes that the Empire could not endure, and escaped to the seas and became a pirate."

"In Sunia, I continued my evil deeds until I met a missionary of the Mother Goddess, and under his teachings, I understood the preciousness of life and the charm of the growth of all things, and made a vow before the emblem of the Mother Goddess: to make amends for the sins of the past, to spread His faith to other kingdoms."

"So you came to Rune to preach in the capital of a country that already has a dominant religion?"

Angel asked duly.

Indo is a port city of the Fersak Empire across the sea from the northwestern coast of the Kingdom of Rune, and it seems that this bishop is indeed a native of Fersak, but he did not expect that he finally believed in Mother Earth God and came to Rune to preach.

The dominant religion in the Kingdom of Rune is the goddess of the night, the lord of the storm, and the god of steam and machines, and the mother earth goddess only has the right to preach, but the number of churches is strictly limited, and only a few large cities have churches and believers, and they cannot even form their own extraordinary arm.

Fr. Utravsky chose to serve here in a way that seems to be genuinely repentant of his past actions.

"That's right, that's the only reason for my existence."

The priest stood up from his seat and faced Angel, the difference in height and posture made him resemble a legendary giant.

"My commission is for you to kill me."

Well?

Angel almost suspected that he had misheard, could it be that the reformed priest suddenly felt that he could not be cleared of his sins by preaching alone?

"Kill me in the past, the one who did a lot of evil and had blood on my hands."

The priest repeated.

It does seem that I heard it correctly, but it seems to have become more difficult......

She looked up at the priest, waiting for his explanation.

"The old me, who was fanatical about killing and fighting, is still deep in my heart, never really dead." "He is still persisting, trying to take back control of his body, to return to his former state, although I believe in the Mother Goddess, and use asceticism and preaching to influence him, to make him one with me again, but to no avail. ”

"Sounds like schizophrenia, shouldn't you get a psychiatrist to take a good look?"

"I tried, there is also a sequence of 'doctors' in the Mother God Church, they tried to help me, but in the end it turned out that it was not a mental illness, but a tendency to get out of control, and if I was finally replaced by the same me as before, my body would get out of control and become a monster that only knew how to kill."

"So, you have two Utravskys in your body, you are good now and you are evil in your heart," Angel concluded, "but how do you kill that 'past you'?" Since you made this commission, there must be some kind of solution, right? ”

"Yes," Father Utravsky nodded, "I've been looking for a real solution to him all these years, and Mother Goddess willing, I've been given a magical item, supposedly a relic of an old dragon. ”

"It allows the wielder to enter the depths of the target's psyche and materialize the corresponding scene, where you can see and fight against the past me. Once he is truly dead, there will be no recurrence. ”

The priest took out a candle from the pocket of the priest's robe, which was only half a small part, and its outer layer seemed to be wrapped in a layer of biological skin, crumpled, and even a few terrible bumps, the candle stamen was slightly protruding, and the black surface had a fine pattern of scales.

Holding the candle, the priest looked at Angel expectantly.
