Dunlop walked into the drawing room with a gloomy face, carefully inspecting the materials and props on each drawing table.

His gaze swept over the drawing compass, then around the neatly stacked glass bottles filled with paint on the table, and finally the most valuable of all, the magic pen.

After inspecting a few drawing tables, his heart hanging on his chest finally slowly let go, if someone came to the drawing room to steal, he would definitely not let go of the magic pen, because it was the most valuable item in the drawing room.

But now, every magic pen is lying quietly on the table, and none of them are missing.

It took Dunlop about five minutes to finally check each drawing table.

He was surprised to find that only the penultimate drawing table on the right side of the second row was missing a few bottles of paint, but the magic pen had not been stolen either.

"Could it be that a student is drawing the cards?"

He thought for a moment, and felt that he might have been overthinking before.

But as he looked closely, the doubts in his heart became heavier.

"It doesn't make sense to only use five bottles of paint, and generally speaking, there is no way to complete the painting without at least eight bottles of paint on a level 1 card..."

With a look of confusion on his face, Dunlop turned off the lights in the drawing room.

......

The early morning sun shone into the room, Andu rubbed his eyes that had not yet woken up, lifted the quilt and took the iconic black cotton coat from the chair next to the bed.

Feeling the bone-chilling chill from the cold black cotton clothes, Andu instantly sobered up, shivered, and hurriedly tightened the cotton clothes.

"I have to go to the clothing store today!"

Andu made a plan in his heart, quickly sorted out his clothes, and came to the living room, just like yesterday, Elizabeth went out early, the difference was that Andu found a piece of oatmeal bread in the "kitchen".

It is not very accurate to say that it is a kitchen, because there is only such a lonely pot in a small space.

If it weren't for the neatly placed and packed dishes and chopsticks on the table, Andu wouldn't even know what this single room with a size of only a few square meters was for.

Andu looked at the slice of oatmeal bread on the plate and the card with beautiful handwriting next to it, and his face was filled with a happy smile.

"Remember to have breakfast!"

Andu picked up the bread in one hand and looked at Elizabeth's handwriting.

The handwriting is very neat, and it can be seen that Elizabeth has worked hard.

Although it is not as good as herself, it is not an easy task for Elizabeth, who is fourteen years old and has been running around all year round and has never attended a professional school.

Andu silently put away the card, quickly eliminated the bread in his hand, confirmed that the Grosh and the "Ice Elf" in his pocket were still there, and hurried out of the door.

Without much small talk with the neighbors, Andu quickly crossed MacDonald Street and headed straight for the Southern Church.

More than forty minutes later, Andhu returned to the southern branch of the Halma Church.

Unlike yesterday, Andu did not see the young missionary on duty again, and there were no more believers waiting outside the church to prepare for the service.

Anduru thought about it for a moment and realized that it was already Saturday.

The church is usually open at 9 a.m. on weekdays and does not officially close until 10 p.m., during which time it is possible to worship both individually and collectively.

For example, yesterday in the afternoon, there was a group service, usually one in the morning, one in the afternoon, from 9:30 to 11 in the morning, from 2:30 to 4 in the afternoon, and the rest of the time can be done individually.

Andu didn't actually do the whole prayer process yesterday, and when it came time to devotion, he sneaked away......

Church is open all day on weekends except weekdays, and believers can pray at any time, and the group service is only held in the afternoon, not in the morning.

In addition, there are masses, group gatherings, etc., which will be arranged in advance, and basically they are mainly concentrated on weekends or at the end of the month.

Andu stood not far away, looking seriously at the holy church in front of him.

He lowered his head slightly, stroked his chest with his right hand, and whispered a few times before he raised his head and walked towards the church.

In the church on Saturday, a large number of self-worshippers sat on crimson benches and prayed devoutly.

The chanting was slight, but due to the large number of people, it formed a different atmosphere, which filled the entire church and filled the holy atmosphere.

Andu searched carefully in the church, but in the end he still couldn't find Roy, only to find Walkley in a white robe, at the front, praying sincerely.

Andu slowly walked to Walkley's side, waiting for the other party's prayer to end before speaking.

"Are you in church every morning?"

Walkley looked at the words and saw Andu in front of him at a glance, and smiled.

"No, I have to go out to preach occasionally, but I haven't been out lately. ”

Andu nodded and asked, "Is the teacher not here again?"

Walkley thought for a moment and said, "Roy Sacrifice is rarely in the church, if you want to find him, you can come back later, you are now an official church missionary, you can come at any time." ”

Andu thought for a moment and said, "The teacher only came back at night?"

Walkley closed the Bible in his hand and said casually, "Roy is busy with the sacrifice, and he basically comes back at night. ”

After Walkerley finished speaking, he stood up, looked at Andu carefully, and continued: "You can't look like this, as an official missionary of the church, your appearance will damage the image of the church. ”

After saying that, Walkley immediately added: "If the people of the Summoners Guild know, they can laugh at us for a year!"

Andu smiled, spread his hands and said, "That's no way, it's winter, I only have this body to wear out." ”

Walkley didn't care about Andu's words, pointed behind Andu, and said, "There was something after yesterday, and you disappeared when you came back, and today is just right, I will take you to get your priest's robe." ”

"Do I have it too?" Ando looked at Walkley in amazement, and then immediately added, "Is it free?"

Walkley said as a matter of course: "Definitely, our church is not so deductible, looking at you like this, if you collect money, you will not ask for it, right?"

Andu nodded embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Recently, the family has spent a lot of money. ”

Walkley smiled and shook his head, not piercing Andu's words, and led Andu to a warehouse-like place.

After comparing a few pieces to Andu, he picked one of them, put it in a bag and handed it to Andu.

"Look at you like this, you can't wear it today, remember to change it next time you come to church. ”

While Walkley admonished, he suddenly thought of Andu's family background, took it out of his arms, took out two gold coins, and handed them to Andu.

"You take it first, go back and buy a few warm clothes, it's not enough to tell me. ”

As Walkley spoke, he didn't stop his hand, stuffing the gold coin into Andu's hand and explaining.

"It's not gratuitous, you're a regular missionary now, and it stands to reason that you have to come to work for three days a week, and you set your own time, but you have to report a week in advance, and then the church will settle your salary every week. ”

Walkley also ignored Andu's excuse and continued.

"But you are a newcomer, and your salary for the first three months is relatively small, one and two zlotys a week, and after three months it will be two silver dollars a week, which is already very high in Halma, considering that you only have to work three days a week. ”

Andu listened to Walkley's explanation, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the public food was delicious.

Andu roughly calculated, one silver dollar and two zlotys, converted into three hundred grohi in a week!

This is only the first three months, and it will rise later.

While Andu sighed in his heart, he also took a serious look at the coin that Walklice had given him just now, on the golden coin, the image of an old man was depicted, and below his avatar, there was a bright number five.

"So much?" Andu was taken aback, but instead of rushing to return the coin to Walkley, he asked with a smile, "This is my week's salary, is this considered an early overdraft of my salary?"

"It doesn't count, anyway, if you pay me back when you pay your salary, it's not wrong for you to think so. ”

Walkley said with a smile as he peeked around to make sure no one was there.

"You preached to Robert at the door of the church yesterday, right? ”

He looked at Andu's blank face and continued, "It's that missionary, you forgot?"

Andu reacted at this time, nodded and said, "It's not counted, it's just a few casual words." ”

Walkley gave Andu a thumbs up and said, "I knew it was you, otherwise there would be such a coincidence, you just came to the church to report this kind of thing." ”

"You don't know, Robert is one of the oldest missionaries, having been here for four years. He didn't wait for Andu to speak, and hurriedly rushed to speak.

"He is one of the candidates in the list of candidates for promotion to probationary pastor in our Southern Church this year, but as soon as this matter comes out, it is estimated that he is out of play. ”

Andu was a little strange when he heard this: "He's been here for four years, I don't think he's very old." ”

Walkley looked around and made sure that no one was there before he said, "His father is the chief secretary of Halma, in fact, if you want me to say that he is not very talented, it is estimated that he will be able to go to the end of the trainee priest." ”

Andu thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Then how long have you been in the church?"

Walkley listened to Andu's question, and immediately came to his senses, straightened out his priest's robe, and straightened his chest proudly.

"I'm in my fifth year, but I'm not like Robert, I'm already a probationary pastor in my third year. ”

Andu looked at his proud appearance and said with a smile: "Indeed, you are much more talented than him. ”

Walkley was happy when he heard this, but it didn't take long for him to react and say to Andu seriously.

"It's really comparable, you're the most talented person I've ever met, but now that you've offended Robert, this matter will spread sooner or later, you still have to be careful, but with Roy's sacrifice, some people don't dare to go too far, just pay attention to yourself." ”

Andu nodded gratefully at Walkley, silently noting it down in his heart.

After a few small talks, Andu thought that there was nothing to do in the morning, and went to the church with Walkley to pray.

After confirming that he would be able to get the first week's salary next Monday, that is, the day after tomorrow, Andu suddenly felt like he had picked up the money, and his mood suddenly improved.

Andu, who has just registered this week, can only schedule the next week's working day at most, so theoretically, Andu does not need to work this week.

However, this is all due to Roy's relationship, normally speaking, entering the church requires layers of assessment and selection, and there are almost no one-step ones like Andu, so there is such a loophole.

But Walkley didn't plan to report the matter to the church.

After all, he is a student of Roy's sacrifice, and for Walkley, who thinks he has high emotional intelligence, this truth is still clear.

The two prayed until it was almost noon, when Walkley was ready to leave for work.

Andu looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.

After saying hello to Walkley, Andu left the church.

After leaving the church, Andu did not go straight to the auction house, but came to a nearby Western restaurant.

"Rich!"

Donna Western Restaurant, window position.

Andu felt the texture of the leather seats, held the menu in his hand, and began to think about today's lunch in the strange eyes of the waiter.
