Chapter Eighty-Three: Joining the "Punisher"

I have to say that it is easy to take the police with you, and after Wayne paid 20 gold pounds in compensation for the damage, the landlord readily agreed to check out.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, James and the others arrived, Jeffrey helped carry the wagon and luggage, and James took Chris to the church to go through a series of formalities.

This is also the first time that the three of Chris have truly entered the Church of the God of Machines and Intelligence.

Unlike the small churches on the streets of the West Side, the church headquarters in the South Side occupies a large area.

After entering the gate with a huge mechanical clock, you will be greeted by a magnificent hall where the congregation prays and worships on weekdays. Then on the second and third floors are the separate parlors where the congregation confides in the priest alone.

Inside is a second three-story building, the first floor is where the various clergy work, and the second floor is the church's archives and library.

These are closed to the public, and the archives record some of the most ordinary events in Federenburg, and more of them are related to the extraordinary.

The library has the Church's holy text, Quotations on Machines and Wisdom, as well as books related to the occult, which are also closed to the public.

The third floor is the archbishop's office, which is also the destination of James and Chris and others.

Any clergy and extraordinary person who joins the Church needs to be met by the archbishop to carry out the necessary scrutiny and verification. to prevent humans from blending in with pagans, and even demons and ghosts.

As he walked up the stairs, James began to whisper:

"Although the corps has definitely approved of you, as the archbishop of the Church of the God of Machines and Intelligence, he is the most powerful person in this church, so pay attention to your words and deeds for a while, and don't be rude. ”

The three of Chris hurriedly nodded, saying that it was impossible not to be nervous.

Not to mention the most powerful person in this church, that is, in the whole of Fedrenburg, I am afraid that there is only the city lord and another archbishop, whose status is equal to him.

On the way here just now, James had already secretly reminded that every archbishop in the country is basically at least an extraordinary person in Sequence 4.

That is, the legendary demigods!

A person who is initially detached from human nature and has a small number of divinities and incomplete mythical creatures!

Knock! Knock!

James knocks on Archbishop Abraham Harry's office.

"Please come in. A slightly old voice came from within.

When the four of them entered, they saw an elderly man sitting at his desk, writing something with a pen.

Apparently, this is the Archbishop of the Church of the Gods of Machines and Wisdom in Federenburg, Abraham Harry.

Chris and the three of them couldn't help but look at him secretly, only to see that he was wearing a simple white priest's robe, his hair and beard were already gray, but he was still thick, and his temperament was gentle and elegant.

He has a pair of deep blue eyes full of wisdom and knowledge, except for the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, there are basically no wrinkles in other places.

"Mr. Harry, they are the three recommended by the corps this time. ”

James pointed to the three of them and introduced them in turn:

"This is Bert Reid the 'Listener', this is Bonnie Reid the 'Doctor', and this is Chris Simon the 'Arcanist'. ”

"All three children are very young. ”

Abraham looked at the three of them and smiled, as if he heard the name of the sequence of interest, and the old man's dark blue eyes looked at Chris opposite and asked:

"Are you a scholar?"

"Yes, sir. Chris replied respectfully, apparently not daring to say a word.

Abraham nodded and smiled:

"A nice sequence pathway, trust me, joining our church is the right choice, you won't regret it. ”

The three Chris hurriedly nodded in agreement.

After a few words of conversation, James was given the signal and left the archbishop's office with the three men.

"Hoo ......"

After leaving Abraham's office, the three of Chris breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, after all, the invisible pressure was too great, and under the gaze of those dark blue eyes, they felt that their secrets were hidden.

"Alright, you've passed the final test, let's go to the archives to fill out the file. ”

What, that's the end of it?

The three of Chris stared at each other, they had been in the archbishop's office for less than five minutes.

I didn't expect the audit to end so quickly, which made the reasons and experiences they made up overnight useless.

So James took them to several clergy offices, filling out different files and materials.

Of course, some of their own secrets will not be written on it.

It was nearly 5 o'clock before James and the three of them returned to their new home at 41 Pruka Street.

Rue Pruca is the street frontage of Rue Etienne, but it is a little more lively than the remote Rue Etienne.

This is also a separate courtyard, inside which is a small three-story building, but the area is two or three times the size of Chris's previous residence.

"This small building is an asset in the name of the church, and of course outsiders don't know about it. James explained to the new recruits.

"There are a lot of rooms inside, but there are not many empty ones, and most of them are piled up with miscellaneous items and spiritual materials. That's why I asked Elton to clean up your three bedrooms this morning. ”

Walking into the yard, there are not only independent and spacious stables, but also sun umbrellas and rocking chairs, etc., and the yard is full of flowers and plants, which can be seen to be carefully cared for.

"As a newcomer, I advise you not to pay attention to the flowers, or Lady Wayne will go berserk. ”

It seems that because of the fact that he has suffered some losses in this matter, James said with some trepidations.

Chris's carriage was now parked in the stable, and their very valuable brown horse was grazing quietly, after all, its blood was shining gold.

And next to it, there is a white horse parked, and there is also a simple carriage behind it.

"After a while, everyone will be here, let's go to the restaurant in the South District to eat, and we can be regarded as welcoming you to officially join our 'Punisher' team. James said enthusiastically.

As a squad leader, although at the beginning of the rejection of their joining, thinking that although they are extraordinary, they are too young, after all, their profession is a very dangerous profession.

But now that they've chosen to join the "Punisher" and join his squad, he's ready to treat them like companions and family.

After all, they will be born and died together in the future.

After entering the living room on the first floor, the three Chris were shocked by the decoration and the rows of furniture inside.

Is this really the house in the western district of Federenburg, which has the title of "ghetto"?

"This house was specially prepared by the church for the 'punisher' team, so it was decorated with great care. Haha, as you'll find later, our church is very rich. ”

As he spoke, James winked at the stunned trio.

"There are coachmen, cooks, washermen, cleaners, and of course their salaries are covered by the church. ”

Is this a company with a car and a house, and a nanny?, Chris thought to himself.

"Oh, when it comes to wages, your current salary is three gold pounds a week, and after a year you have attained the age of five pounds. If you sit in my position, it's £10 a week. The church also has red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. ”

Oh my God, why are the wages so high?

The three of Chris were visibly shocked, this is a very high salary in Federenburg, which is already comparable to those high-ranking lawyers and well-known doctors.

"There's no way, it's very dangerous to do what we do. James's tone was suddenly a little lost, "You are still young, you can slowly understand it later." ”

As an extraordinary person who has been a member of the "Punisher" for 10 years, James has watched many of his companions, one by one, die at the hands of criminals or at his own hands.

James then led the three men up to the third floor and to the three empty rooms.

"This will be your room from now on, it used to be a storage room. I've asked Elton to pick out three sunny rooms for you. ”

"Thank you, Mr. James Keith. Bonnie politely thanked her.

James smiled and said:

"You can call me Captain instead, or you can follow them and call me Boss. ”
