Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 65 Transfer
Mornings always pass very quickly, and it's time for lunch very quickly.
After Andu used the excuse of church work to explain why he didn't go to the manor yesterday to pick up the girl, everyone skipped the topic and had a very pleasant meal.
Before leaving, Andu thanked the baroness again and again, and reminded them not to go to the countryside recently before leaving.
Although the necromancer is dead, it is not clear whether he has accomplices or not, and the matter of purification is not a day or two work, and the work of the church still needs to be done for a long time.
It took two hours for Andu to finally complete the follow-up contract and handover issues in his new home.
"In the future, if you need a house, you can come to me at any time. The sales lady did not forget to say enthusiastically when she left.
In the empty villa, there were only some donated furniture, which seemed very empty, Andu thought about it and said to Elizabeth: "I have some things in the afternoon, you can go and watch and buy the furniture." ”
Andu added, "You go to Pete in a moment, let him accompany you, and then ask him to call two right-hand men, and if he wants, he can come to our house to work." ”
In such a big villa, it is very uneasy to leave the girl alone, and he has a lot of things to do, so it is impossible to be around the girl all the time.
Elizabeth nodded, what she had experienced during this time made her much more well-behaved, and she thought, "Is it looking for a bodyguard?"
Andu thought for a while and said, "Let him find two older ones to come to the orphanage, and a few younger ones to help them, which can be regarded as helping them." ”
It was very difficult for the children of the orphanage to find good jobs, and both the nobles and the wealthy were extremely distrustful of these fatherless children, and it was not uncommon for domestic servants to steal money from their employers.
This makes those poor children have to wait until they are old enough to try their luck at the docks and find some odd jobs, and as for children like Pete who are lucky enough to meet some people in society, it is very rare in the orphanage.
Elizabeth nodded and took note of Andu's words, and the two of them wandered around the huge villa.
After all, it was his own house, and the more Andu and the girl looked at it, the more they liked it, Andu suddenly remembered the facilities in MacDonald's dilapidated apartment, and hurriedly told Elizabeth not to forget to buy charcoal fires and build fireplaces, and took out half of the remaining more than 4,000 silver dollars on his body and handed it to the girl as expenses.
After Andu had almost told the matter, he looked at the time on his pocket watch and went out with the girl.
Antia Seaview Villa Area is actually not close to the city, Andu took the girl all the way to look for the rickshaw, thought about it and said: "If you have time in the afternoon, go to the carriage shop to have a look, it is too inconvenient to have no carriage." ”
The girl was displeased, "Where can I find Pete again, and I have to buy furniture, and I have to find someone to build a fireplace." ”
Andu smiled: "You look at it, who let you be your housekeeper now?"
Elizabeth touched the silver dollar on her chest and said with satisfaction: "Don't worry, the family affairs will be left to me!"
Andu looked at the girl with a smile and stopped talking.
The church didn't report on it for two days, so I don't know what to say, but I'm not so short of money now...... Andu thought with relief.
The two walked for more than half an hour before getting into the rickshaw, because they were both going to the southern district, Andu first sent the girl to the orphanage, and then continued to the church.
By the time Andu arrived at the church, it was nearly four o'clock, and it didn't take much effort for him to find Walkley, who was giving people a mystery.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Walkley finally saw off the believers and saw Andu waiting on the side.
"Where have you gone?" said Walkley anxiously when he saw Andu, who hadn't appeared for two days.
"Took care of a few things. Andu looked around and smiled, "Is Sister Suzanne there?"
"Yes, you should go and report to her!" Walkley said anxiously, "She was angry yesterday!"
Sister Suzanne has been working in the church for almost 20 years, specializing in registration, attendance and other work.
After chatting with Walkley, I was relieved to find that the Bishop's church was investigating the outskirts and had not been involved in the southern diocese.
It seems that this kind of cleaning up evil things is still in the hands of the Lord's Church...... Andu sorted through the information and before she knew it, she came to the door of the nun's office.
Knock knock!
"Please come in!"
Andu opened the door and saw the nun sitting at the table, making a report.
"Hello, Sister Suzanne. Anduin said.
"Andu?" Suzanne was a little surprised at first, and then displeased, "You didn't come to work yesterday or today. ”
Andu was about to take out the words he had thought of on the road, but Suzanne took the lead and said, "Is it because you received the news from the Bishop's church that you don't care if you come or not?"
What's the news? How do I not know?
With a smile on his face, but his heart was full of doubts, he continued to say in a gentle tone: "It's not such a nun, you know, well, there are some things that need to be dealt with. ”
Suzanne stared at Andu in disgust and said, "That shouldn't be the case, although Bishop Ruskin asked you to report by name, but you are still affiliated with the Southern Diocese after all." ”
Andu, who came in by a relationship, made Suzanne not like it very much, and now Andu is blatantly not coming, which inspires her inner dissatisfaction.
Andu listened to Susanna's words, vaguely guessed something, and he said in a calm tone: "You also know that the Bishop naturally has his own plans, and I can't refuse. ”
Suzanne looked at Andu quietly, took out a document and said, "Sign this document, go to the Bishop's church this week to report." ”
Andu stepped forward, looked at the contents of the document, and finally understood what had happened.
What did Ruskin get himself to the Episcopal Church for? Was it because of something in the suburbs? But he didn't know what I did, and he couldn't have known that the necromancer had actually died at his own hands, so what was his purpose?
Andu scanned the papers, his mind racing.
"What's wrong?" Suzanne said impatiently, "What's the problem?"
Andu immediately stopped thinking and hurriedly said, "No, do you have a pen?"
Andu took the pen, signed his name, returned the papers, thought for a moment and asked, "Your Excellency, do you have anything else to order?"
Suzanne lowered her head and continued to make the report, and said coldly: "No." ”
Andu touched his nose and dust, so he had to put away the problem and leave the office in embarrassment.
There was no one in the aisle, and Andu found a place where no one was there and stopped.
Bishop's Church, Outskirts, Necromancer, Ruskin......
The lack of information prevented Andu from grasping the key point, but his intuition told him that there must be some conspiracy for Ruskin to let him go to the episcopal church at this time.
What is there about the Episcopal Church that can put itself in trouble?
Is it because I want to go to the suburbs to clean up, so I transferred myself?
Hiss!
Andu took a deep breath, and his memory returned to that afternoon.
......
"Do you know how many Purifier squads die each year?"
"Two digits!"
"There are only seven or eight purifier squads in the entire Halma, and there are only forty or fifty people in total, and nearly a quarter of them die on the mission every year. ”
......
Andu stood in the aisle, staring into the distance for a long time without moving.
"What a Bishop of Halma, what a Raskin!" Andu sneered softly.
Back at the church, Andu found Walkley and explained his business.
"You're going to the Episcopal Church?" said Walkley, a little disappointed.
"It's okay, I can come back to see you later. Andu laughed.
"The situation in the Episcopal Church is not as good as ours, so you have to be careful when you go. Walkley thought for a moment and struggled.
Seeing that his friend wanted to speak and stopped, Andu said: "Don't worry!"
Walkley walked up, hugged Andu, and said, "Take care!"
Walkley's strength was still so great, but Andu didn't complain this time, and let him hold himself tightly, and a warm current in his heart warmed his heart.
In the evening, Antia sea view villa area.
Andu stood in front of his house and found two fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys standing at the door, looking around nervously.
In the front yard of the villa, two or three teenage boys were cleaning up the weeds, sweating profusely in the winter, and the heat was bubbling from the top of their heads.
Before Andu stepped forward, the two boys who seemed to be acting as doormen stopped in front of him with an arrow step, pretending to be fierce, "Who are you?"
Andu couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the two boys, who were actually a year or two younger than him.
"I am the owner of this villa. Andu said with a smile.
"You, are you Mr. Andu?" asked one of the short-haired boys.
"Well, is Elizabeth back?" asked Andu.
"It's back!, it's upstairs!," the short-haired boy said with some panic.
"yes, I see. Andu nodded and walked into the villa, thought about it and turned to the two of them: "In the future, people who don't know don't need to go up and ask who others are, well, if it's really suspicious, call the police, don't think about solving it yourself, you know?"
The short-haired boy nodded and said that he had written it down.
It wasn't until Andu disappeared into the front yard that another boy, who had been silent, reminded, "George, you should call Mr. Andu!"
George reacted suddenly, thanking, "Thank you, Carl. ”
Carl touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Master Andu looks really good!"
George said: "Yes, Big Brother Pete really didn't lie to us, this time it was all his light!"
The two looked at the villa at the same time, their expressions sincere and innocent.
Andu pushed open the door, walked into the warm living room, and said to the girl sitting on the sofa in some surprise: "So fast?"
When Elizabeth saw that it was Andu, she immediately sat up and said happily: "Thanks to Pete, he knows a lot of people, and he helped to get a lot of things today!"
Andu laughed, "Yes, that's great, but is the fireplace installed so quickly?"
Pete, who was cleaning up next door, walked out and immediately said, "This villa has its own fireplace, and I can use it after I find someone to repair it." ”
Andu nodded with satisfaction, but found that there were two little boys next to him, and couldn't help but say to Elizabeth, "Why did you recruit so many people?"
Pete and the two little boys on the side immediately looked at Elizabeth nervously.
The girl smashed her mouth and said: "Two doormen, three who maintain the villa, two who do chores, one housekeeper, and I haven't recruited a maid yet!"
