Chapter 103 The gold coins are not there
"Excuse meβ" A little priest opened the door as she spoke, but before she could finish her sentence, it was as if something had suddenly stuck.
"Don't be alarmed, I'm not a mummy, I'm just afraid that my worldly countenance will cause unnecessary trouble, so I hide it, this beautiful young lady, if I scare you, let me treat you to a romantic candlelit dinner as an atonement." An Lun took the first step and pointed to himself.
Xingji glanced at An Lun, he had seen a shameless one, but he had never seen such a shameless one, this was obviously accosting the other party! β
"Ignore this guy, Kana, I'm here to pick up the coins. Starmark turned slightly to the side and stopped An Lun, who wanted to squeeze in front of him. This little priest is the same Kana who has been looking for trouble with Starmark before, but for her, Starmark is not hateful, although she is a little mean to herself, and even a little troublesome for herself, but from her love for gold coins, Starmark knows very well that Kana is a kind-hearted girl.
"Oh... Hello. Hearing Starmark speak, Kana came back to her senses, but her expression seemed a little unnatural.
"Beautiful young lady, it's freezing this day, don't you let two peerless beautiful men in?" An Lun got his head out from under Starmark's arm, although he had put on what he thought was the most charming smile, but it was covered by bandages and could not be shown.
"Yes... Sorry, please come in. After Kana finished speaking, she hurriedly opened the door and invited the two of them in, and at the same time ran in quickly.
Seeing that Kana turned around and ran, An Lun squeezed under Starmark's arm, and at the same time gently hit Starmark's chest with his elbow, and said with a smug smile: "Brother, do you see, your brother and I just casually showed our charm, which made this girl confused, and I didn't know what to do." Look good, study hard, brother will give you a few more demonstrations, and you can use it on your little lover when the time comes. After a pause, An Lun seemed to remember something, and said to the star mark: "By the way, what was the name of that little priest just now? Kana? Brother, you are good, even asked the name of the person, if you like it, the elder brother will be an adult, and help you take her down." β
Xingji glanced at An Lun angrily, didn't choose to ignore him, and walked in by himself, if he answered, he didn't know how this guy was going to blow it.
After walking a short distance, Starmark saw Kana walk out with the director of the orphanage, Starmark hurriedly took two quick steps forward, and bowed slightly to the director: "Dean, I'm really sorry, I'm a little late to come back due to some unexpected circumstances, where's the gold coin?"
The dean immediately returned the salute and gave Starmark the respect that he belonged to a strong man, but this action made Starmark frown slightly, because when he showed his strength before, the dean also saluted him, but only slightly gestured to show respect. However, at this time, the other party practiced a very standard pastoral etiquette, which is generally only true for the high-ranking people who directly belong to their system, such as priests and the like.
Starmark frowned and looked at the dean, and when he saw the dean lift his apologetic face, Starmark suddenly felt that his heart was grabbed by a big hand, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart, and the dean's next words made the big hand grapple with Starmark's heart.
"Sorry, the gold isn't here. β
"What are you talking about!" Starmark heard this, and a nameless aura rushed up to his head, and when he reacted, one of his hands was already on the neck of the orphanage director.
"What are you doing, let go!" Seeing this, Kana hurriedly pounced on Starmark's hand, but the difference between her and Starmark's mystic power was too great, and even though she tried her best, she couldn't break Starmark's finger.
"Brother, don't worry, ask clearly. An Lun also came up, but this time he spoke more seriously, not as frivolous as he had accosted Kana half a minute earlier.
Starmark had already reacted at this time, knowing that he had gone too far, and released his palm to put the dean down.
"Say, what's the matter, the gold coin is not there, where did it go!" As he spoke, the Xuan Power on Star Scar's body exploded, and this time it was no longer an eighty-ninth level of Xuan Power, but a ninety level! That's right, after a series of life-and-death battles, when Star Scar woke up, he found that the Xuan Li, which had been staying at level eighty-nine, had finally broken through the bottleneck of level ninety and became the youngest high-level powerhouse in Prontera, if he wanted to, he could now go to the imperial city to confer the title on himself, and with his age, he would definitely be reused. This was a happy thing, but at this time, it was completely changed because of the gold coin.
The dean sighed and said, "This is the responsibility of the orphanage, and I have no shirk of my responsibility. β
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hey," the dean sighed and said, "Here's the thing, the last time you left, we noticed the difference between her..."
Starmark listened quietly, he knew what the difference the dean was referring to, the amount of food in the "gold coins" was indeed different from ordinary people, like a bottomless pit, never filled.
The director continued: "She had already eaten all the food in the orphanage the day after you left, but it was still not enough to feed her, and we have never seen anything like this. For the sake of the child's health, I decided to take her to the Great Sanctuary and ask the priest to help her get her checked. β
"That means she's in the Great Sanctuary?" Starmark said coldly, he could understand the dean's approach, but that didn't mean he would be angry, no matter what, he was the guardian of the "gold coin", and the dean should not overstep him and give the gold coin to the Great Sanctuary without permission.
"Yes" The dean nodded slightly, and said, "After the priest examined her, he couldn't see anything strange. So he left her there for the first time, wanting to observe her more, and planned to baptize her with holy water. β
When the director of the orphanage said this, a cold wind blew in, and the door of the orphanage was already open, and the star mark had disappeared in front of them, leaving only a chubby, mummy-looking fellow writhing his body as if he were chasing after him.
The Grand Cathedral of Prontera, a building with a thousand-year-old culture, is as iconic as the inner city where the royal family lived, and is no less important than the bell tower in Alparan. And unlike the bell tower, which was under martial law, the Grand Basilica of Prontera is completely open to the public, not only for visitors to visit, but also for some ceremonial events. The most important thing is that this is a holy place for all priests, and whoever wants to become a priest and join the profession of priesthood must come to Prontera to perform baptismal prayers, and only after being blessed by the pope can they be considered to be in the service and recognized by other priests.
Starmark had already arrived in the Great Sanctuary at this time, and since it was open to the public, he was not hindered in any way, and came to a relatively remote room inside the Sanctuary. Starmark didn't plan to go directly to the Great Sanctuary dignitaries, because he had a feeling that the other party would not return the gold coins to him easily, so he decided to find the gold coins himself and take her away.
However, the area of the Great Sanctuary of Prontera is not smaller than the execution ground where Starmark and AndrΓ© were escorted, and there are thousands of rooms in it. Although Starmark is fast, it is still troublesome to find gold coins from room to room. What's more, although the Great Holy Church is open to the public, there are also many places where people other than priests are forbidden to enter.
"Baptism with holy water?" Starmark whispered a whisper of what the orphanage director said, and with this clue, Starmark decided to find a place where the holy water was stored first, after all, if the holy water was called, then the caretaker would definitely know the use of the holy water these days, and maybe he would be able to find out the news of the gold coins.
Just as Starmark was about to go to the room where the holy water was stored, he suddenly heard the voices of two priests talking outside the door: "Why does the bishop want to use so much holy water?
"Don't ask so much, send it quickly, wait for it. β
Hearing this, Starmark's eyes lit up and he quietly sneaked out of the room.
......
Weddings are very important for any couple. This is the most beautiful moment for a woman, and it is also the most chic moment for a man. In the Cathedral of Prontera, a sacred and solemn place, today there is such a couple who are married in the presence of the bishop.
The man is tall and straight, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, standing there like a mountain, solid and powerful, and at first glance he is a dragon among people. The woman is beautiful and gentle, with long red hair and a white wedding dress, like a bonfire in the snow, warming people's hearts. If An Lun was here, he would have recognized at a glance that this woman was the woman under the mast he had met with Starmark at that time, that is, the woman he guessed that Starmark must have a story with her.
The man took the hand of the musk and stood in front of the bishop as he listened to the kind old man in front of him read the wedding vows. The hall is large enough to accommodate a thousand people, but at this time it is full of seats. Most of the guests who came were young men, and they sat straight one by one, with strong bodies, uniform short hair, and thousands of people present, but there was no noise, which was enough to prove their identity, this is a well-trained soldier.
Yes, this is a soldier's wedding, and today's groom is the Count of Morrow, who belongs to the same dragon knight legion as Andrew, but with a slightly lower position. He is only twenty-eight years old this year, and like Andrey, he is also a rising star in the army. In terms of military deployment talent, he is not inferior to Andre at all, but there is a certain gap between Mo Luo's Xuan Power and Andre, so he will be slightly lower by one level. But even so, Moro was also given the title of Count, and in the eyes of many people, Morro's potential was no less than Andrei, and before he was the same age as Andrei, it was very likely that he would be promoted to deputy commander.
And the identity of the red-haired woman is not known to anyone, everyone only knows that her name is Musk Se, a child of a merchant family, and her hometown is in Feiyang City. It is said that her parents were killed by demons during a business trip, and she has been running the chamber of commerce alone. I heard that there are still some relatives in Musk's hometown, but the relationship is very ordinary, so even today's wedding, none of her relatives were present.
