He paid a gold coin in advance, could it be because I asked him to "trust the payment" last time?

Angel suddenly felt a little hot on her cheeks, and she turned her back in disguise to read the letter carefully.

It turned out that he was renting in the North End, not far from St. Samuel's Church, but the two streets were cleverly separated to avoid running into acquaintances like Leonard, who he met in the prayer hall yesterday afternoon...... But the poet was transferred to the diocese of Beckland, did he join the 'red gloves' and become a 'flexible worker' with no fixed station?

“…… Finding ways to create opportunities for 'chance encounters' and 'acquaintances', I thought the same, but the lack of necessary connections required people from both sides of our social circle to visit the surrounding neighbors as soon as possible.

"The Moon Mass at the full moon may be an opportunity for the devotees of the goddess to attend, and I am close to the church of St. Samuel, so it is a reasonable choice to go there......"

Angel looked at the letter, kept thinking, and quickly decided on her next move, she looked up and saw that Renette Tinicol was still floating in the air, with no intention of leaving.

"Please help me bring him a message that I will attend the Great Mass at St. Samuel's Church tomorrow evening."

As she spoke, Angel took out a heavy gold coin from her pocket and handed it to Miss Courier, who did not take it, and said in turn:

"The ......", "The puppet's ......", "Extraordinary characteristics......", "Is it still there?"

Extraordinary features? Of course it's still there, but after listening to your warning, I sealed it up by various means...... Angel was stunned for a moment, and was about to answer, but Renette then continued:

"I accept ......", "You ...... last time", "......"

The last head opened its mouth, and when it found that the sentence was over, it shook a little anxiously.

Angel asked in a retorting confirmation:

"Thirty thousand gold coins?"

The head quickly replied, "Yes." ”

The last time Angel quoted the price, Renette's four pairs of eyes stared at her with a cold look for a full minute, and then quietly left, leaving her with nightmares all night.

The next few times when her wallet bleed, she had the idea of lowering the offer, but she didn't expect the messenger lady to come up with the idea of buying extraordinary traits at the original price.

It's only been two days, why has your attitude changed so much?

"Can I ask why?" She spoke cautiously.

The high-order spirit creature showed a rare hint of hesitation, and the four heads wandered their gazes, and after a moment they refocused on Angel, and said in turn:

"Originally, it was just ......", "...... as bait", "Now it has ......", "More uses."

It took Angel a moment to fully understand this answer, which was much longer than the usual conversation.

According to Renette's last statement, there is a high probability that the "Rose School" and the "Mother Tree of Desire" they worship can track down the extraordinary characteristics of their members with the help of some method, and Renette Tinicol wants to use this connection to set a trap in reverse and solve several traced cult members, so buying the "puppet" trait is just a dispensable behavior, and it is too expensive to refuse.

But now, she has other uses for it, and it's more urgent, so she's willing to buy it at the original price.

It is not difficult to guess that this "use" is likely to be to promote a certain Sequence 5 "Wraith" to a higher sequence.

Of course, the "original price" is still much lower than the price of the characteristics of Sequence 4 itself, according to Angel's guess, the extraordinary characteristics of the high sequence are worth forty or fifty thousand pounds, or even higher, but this "puppet" comes from the cult of evil gods, which is very hot, and it is difficult to find buyers who are willing to buy at a high price, so they can only be sold at a discount.

At this time, seeing that Miss Courier was willing to spend 30,000 gold coins to buy it, Angel no longer hesitated, nodded and replied:

"Okay, I can give it to you now...... But do you pay in cash, or, um, installments? ”

She specifically mentioned the installment, considering that this spirit creature may not be able to come up with 30,000 gold coins immediately, and the last time the other party collected 10,000 gold coins to help her and Crane escape from Baiam, they also allowed the two to "pay in interest-free installments".

"Pay ...... first", "10,000 ......", "...... remaining", "within a month."

As if worried that Angel would regret it, as soon as Renette's words fell, three of the four heads opened their mouths and spat out a burst of gray-white mist, in which shining gold coins fell like a golden waterfall, colliding with each other and making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Whoop –

Angel watched in amazement as the carpet in front of her quickly piled up a mountain of gold, at first she was a little worried that the expensive carpet would be smashed, but soon all she had in her eyes and mind was the color of gold.

Ding, the last gold coin fell, and Angel found it somewhat familiar, as if it had just been sent from the mint, and there was no trace of use.

For example, one of the gold coins that Miss "Justice" paid me a few days ago, there were 3,000 gold coins in that stall, it couldn't be the one I paid...... The other two piles are roughly divided into 4,000 and 3,000 pieces, the former with some traces of use, and the latter with the head of Augustus I, as if it were a product of hundreds of years ago.

I always felt that I had emptied Miss Messenger's house...... Angel suddenly didn't dare to continue thinking about it, she quickly took out the "puppet" characteristic under heavy protection, and watched one of Renette's heads swallow the palm-sized doll, her blood-red eyes softened a little.

Of course, these eight eyes swept over the pile of gold coins on the ground from time to time, making Angel a little worried that she would suck the ten thousand gold coins back in one gulp.

Fortunately, the headless messenger quickly disappeared and disappeared without a trace.

"I finally sold that extraordinary characteristic, although the psychological price was reduced to 25,000 gold coins before, but now I feel a little lost, what kind of psychology is this?"

Angel muttered, looking at the gold coins weighing nearly a hundred kilograms in front of him.

The island of Passu between Sunia and the Rorsted Islands is shrouded in clouds that linger all year round, as if a torrential rain and thunder are about to fall at any moment.

Alger Wilson walked out of the Thunder Church and looked back at the church's towering spire and buttresses on both sides, and farther away, hidden from the top of the mountain and in the clouds, the Storm Abyss Church, the headquarters of the Storm Church, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally completed this year's debriefing, and successfully concealed the fact that he joined the "Tarot Society", believed in Mr. "Fool", and secretly promoted to "Wind Favorer", at least for a year, he no longer had to worry about how to hide his own particularity.

Of course, there are also a lot of new troubles, and during the debriefing, he was stuffed with a new task by the "substitute punishers": to get close to the "Star Admiral" and investigate the "shipbreaker" Angelica Thatch and the "crazy adventurer" Gelman Sparrow, who recently caused a big incident in Baiam, although the two are hostile to the evil sect "Rose School", it seems that there is another hidden evil organization behind them, and they have a powerful ghost ship, an angel, and many demigods, which make the Storm Church extremely important.

The reason for the task was simple: his ship had unknowingly carried two people, and even received a commission of a few hundred pounds from the other party.

Fortunately, I didn't show anything out of the ordinary, otherwise instead of giving me a mission, I would have been locked up underground and interrogated...... Alger's mind was full of thoughts, but his expression did not change, and he slowly walked through the square in front of the church and saluted a passing bishop:

"The storm is above!"

The latter did not return the salute, but snorted in surprise, pulled down the hood of the robe embroidered with lightning patterns, revealing a soft yellow hair and shouted, "Alger? ”

"Sainz? You're back for a debriefing too? ”

Alger was also a little surprised, this was his old partner, the two had worked together for a long time before getting the "Blue Avenger", but then he chose to become the captain of the ghost ship, drifting on the seas, away from the constraints of the church, while Sainz returned to the clergy system and became one of the bishops who were independent of the substitute punisher and censored the churches everywhere.

Because of this special situation, the timing and frequency of their debriefings are not the same as those of ordinary church members.

"Of course not, I'm here to report the mission, there have been accidents in several dioceses on the Midrange Island, I'm afraid it has something to do with the recent activity of the Berserk Sea......

Sainz muttered a few words and patted Alger on the shoulder in a gesture of friendliness, with such force that he showed his devotion as a follower of the storm.

The corners of the latter's mouth twitched, and he was about to reach out to give a slap in return, when he suddenly thought of the commission of Miss "Queen", and quietly guided the topic:

"Mid-range island? It's full of passing passengers, what can happen? ”

The yellow-haired bishop's expression was a little worried: "Pala Island, Sona Island, there are strange things happening, heh, I'll report first, and I'll talk to you when I have the opportunity." ”

Sure enough, there is Sona Island...... Alger knew that it would be easy to expose his intentions if he took the initiative to talk any longer, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, my ship is going to stay for another day, and we'll get together tonight?"

"Okay." Sainz smiled, unsuspecting.

On Saturday evening, Angel travelled from Hilston to the North End in a relatively low-key two-wheeled carriage to attend Moon Mass at St. Samuel's Church.

She was accompanied by only her valet Elsa, the two housekeepers and the two housekeepers were busy at home, Kayla was still trying to fill her closet and wine cellar, and Ribback had to walk the neighbors all over the street, handing over business cards and gifts, and compiling a list of interested guests for Angel to visit.

They were all famous professors, lawyers, doctors and other professional and technical personnel in Beckland, although they did not have as many friends as the aristocracy, but they often had connections with some big people, and through them, Angel was able to get in touch with the upper social circles of the city, so the payment of money and time was necessary.

Angel, who kept flashing all kinds of aristocratic etiquette and social rules in his mind, got out of the carriage, left the carriage at the edge of the square, and walked with Aisha through the somewhat lively square, entering the church that was gradually shrouded in darkness.

As she waited outside the prayer hall for Mass to begin, she met Dr. and Mrs. Allen, several of the Berningham Road neighbours she had visited over the past two days, and, of course, Dwayne Dantès, dressed in a formal suit with a cane in her hand and a solemn face.

The latter looked over as well, his gaze resting for a moment on the plain black dress that Angel was deliberately wearing, and then returning to her face with a surprised but polite expression.

This is the "Faceling" ...... Angel chuckled secretly, and her gaze lingered on the other party for a moment, causing the other believers who were paying attention to her to notice this.

As the doors of the Great Prayer Hall opened, the two stopped acting, mingled in the crowd, and entered under the guidance of the priest, finding their seats in the darkness.

The choir in front of the altar sang the old ballad under the direction of Bishop Elektra, who is presiding over the Great Mass today, and Angel's somewhat restless heart gradually calmed down in the sound of neat, ethereal chanting.

It was then that she noticed on the pews on the other side of the aisle that there were several people who had been seated before the start of Mass, all of them wearing church robes and not seeming to belong to the general believers.

"Night watchmen", clergy of other dioceses, or some "related households"?

Angel was thinking, feeling the puzzled gazes of her and the other believers, and one of them slowly turned his head, his face hidden under the hood in the darkness, only a searching gaze quickly swept over the crowd, and then looked back at the altar, basking in the atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

But with the help of dark vision, Angel could see the other party's face clearly without hindrance, and at this moment, she seemed to be soaked in the atmosphere in the prayer hall, and her whole body was cold, as if falling into the abyss.

During a lunar mass for the deceased to help them sleep into the kingdom of the goddess, she meets Pierce Turner, a high deacon who has long since died on the island of Pará, and has failed to be promoted.
