39. How many calls do you make?
Herwin lay on the couch, wondering what Tyr's secret was.
The newly hired maid, Tanya, pushed open the door, and the girl was now wearing a neat dress, her little face was also clean, and her expression was natural, and she looked very suitable for the job.
"Mr. Wright, there is a chubby gentleman and a pretty lady who have come to visit. ”
"Bring them over and prepare afternoon tea by the way. ”
It didn't take long for Hervin to see Bishop Alec's clumsy figure and the red-haired beauty following him.
Next to the Bishop of the Primordial Fire was a woman dressed as a nun, but her figure was unusually hot, her expression was confident and uninhibited, and the side of the nun's robe was split from the thighs, revealing two long legs that were slender and tense.
"Mr. Wright, let me introduce you, this is our church's nun, Ms. Nona. ”
"Hello, Ms. Nona. Hervin greeted.
"Hello, Mr. Wright. Nona also responded very politely.
Tanya served a honey-dipped cookie, warm coffee, and mousse cake.
Alec looked at him with envy:
"That's good, I want to hire two maids too, but the clergy are not allowed to hire servants, but if you want me to say that it would be better for a maid to wear a maid's costume before ......", before he could finish speaking, Bishop Alec's face turned blue, and then he screamed, "Whoa"
Nona smiled kindly and said for Alec:
"We're here today to ask for your help. ”
Hewen pretended not to notice Nona's heels stomping the bishop's instep, and asked back:
"How can I help you?"
The bishop bent down like a ball, rubbed his shoes, and then straightened up again, and said:
"Do you know about Abel's disappearance? The guy who shot at your little girl, what a scumbag. ”
Hewen also did not deny:
"I heard about it. ”
Alec said indignantly:
"The fact that he disappeared has caused us a lot of trouble, and if something happens, there will naturally be a suspicion of the object, the Knights and Ebel's father have serious suspicions that this matter has something to do with us, I don't know why the person who did it is so familiar with us, and can disguise it so realistically, but this thing is definitely not done by us simple and kind good believers. ”
Hewen nodded:
"I believe in you, Mr. Bishop. ”
The bishop also showed a casual look, and said slowly:
"But there is one other person who is suspicious. ”
Hervin asked:
"Who is it?"
Bishop Alec said with concern:
"It's you, Mr. Wright, Abel just made a move on your niece and disappeared inexplicably, so naturally many people will suspect you. ”
Hervin looked at Bishop Alec with interest.
Alec picked up his coffee and took a sip before continuing to speak:
"A good person like you can never have anything to do with this matter, these rumors are purely slanderous against you, but they can't stop people's speculation all the time, after all, the people like to see the fall of saints.
"So, Mr. Wright, you should have a little influence in the Knights now, I hope you can talk to them, we are willing to cooperate with their investigation, clean our sewage, catch the real culprit as soon as possible, and return your innocence. ”
Hewen didn't mind helping to pass on the word, and the other party was already close to explicitly saying that he was also a suspect, although in fact, Alec would feel that it was not his own hand, but it was definitely not too far away.
However, looking at the bishop's current appearance, it seems that he did not take this matter to heart at all, and more only informed him, and at the same time hinted that the church would not trouble him because of this matter. 、
"Of course, it's just a matter of hand. Hewen nodded, anyway, things definitely won't find him here.
Alec's expression changed again, and he said with a sincere smile:
"When I'm down to business, I still have some little things I want to talk to the Wright brothers.
"First of all, I would like to thank all the clergy and faithful of the city of Forth for your great support for us, alas, to tell you the truth, I am in a very miserable situation right now.
"You may not know that I used to be a priest with the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and I made some small achievements in the process of the Eastern Expedition before I became a bishop, and I couldn't even wear a red robe.
But because I have sinned against the great men of the holy city, I have been assigned this drudgery, and it is too difficult to spread the glory of my Lord in a land far from the devout believers.
The only person I can really trust here is this Sister Nona who has accompanied me, and I can't show my hands against the Order and the Council.
The Pope is also very dissatisfied with my lack of achievements, as long as I make a few small mistakes, I will be transferred back to be a little priest, so the money you donated at the beginning really solved my urgent need, to build such a cathedral, the church will not be able to find fault with me in a short time. ”
After selling out badly, Alec finally said his purpose:
"If it's convenient, can Wright donate another sum of money so that I can get my hands dirty? ”
"Of course, I won't take this money for nothing, I will give it in return. ”
Herwin put on a pensive look.
Most of what he just said was fart.
Although it is very difficult to establish a church in a foreign country, without the support of the church, and it is easy to be targeted, once successful, the benefits are also huge, and even the status of the eight cardinals may not be as good as Alec's.
There must be a special reason why such a good job would fall into the hands of Alec, perhaps because the Pope needed him to balance the cardinal's power, or maybe it was even more crazy.
However, although Alec is full of lies, the last two sentences are true, he can indeed come up with enough benefits in exchange for his financial support, anyway, Wright's identity will soon be abandoned, and no matter how much money he spends now, he will not attract the attention of others.
"I don't know, Mr. Bishop, how much is appropriate?"
The corners of Alec's mouth moved the fat on his face, revealing a harmless smile:
"I want a billion pounds, and if it's not on the surface, the Knights can't find it, the Council can't find it, the church can't find it, can you get a billion in cash?"
"Of course, what can you come up with, Lord Alex?"
"Well, how about Nona give you a maid?"
"Keep joking any longer, Mr. Alec may not feel too good when he comes home. ”
The bishop laughed twice, hiding the surprise in his eyes:
"Haha, do you need fame? I can help you build momentum and make you a saint, no matter where you go, the local Primordial Fire Church will treat you as a VIP. ”
"Not for the time being, Mr. Bishop, I am willing to donate two billion to ensure that it is clean, I only hope to be able to get a small help from you in the future, and I will guarantee that it will not embarrass you. ”
Alec readily responded:
"Yes, then you can just go to me then, or you can find Nona. ”
"Mr. Bishop, do you have a phone?"
