"Copywriter? That's what I wrote."
Hearing Shad's request, Priest Augustus pointed to himself and asked suspiciously:
"Is there a problem with the speech?"
"No, no problem, it's just... Priest, are you good at this kind of stuff?"
Xia De asked again, and Priest Augustus nodded with some self-satisfaction:
"I entered the church in my twenties, and spent most of my time in charge of similar clerical work. It can be regarded as writing speeches and public documents all my life."
Xia De looked at the old man in front of him with great admiration. Compared with Dorothy who often polished the reports, Priest Augustus was actually a real talent.
After the speech, Shad's work in the church was basically completed. Bishop Owen took time out of his busy schedule to meet with him, and not only gave him 20 pounds for his speech, but also encouraged him to come to church frequently. It seemed that the bishop believed that outsiders had the potential to become that kind of senior pious believers.
Hamilton of Rajed, again with Bishop Owen, was interviewed by the Tobesk Morning Post in the bishop's office. The magnesium strip flash of the old-fashioned camera is very bright, but the questions asked are also prepared long ago. Xia De stood there with a smile on his face. Most of the time, Bishop Owen was talking. He only needed to praise the arrangement of the church today.
This money is really easy to earn.
After the interview was over, Priest Augustus also brought Shad a church donation voucher that he planned to reimburse in August.
At this time, it was already evening, and Xia De, who had been busy all afternoon, finally had time to take the cat to the celebration square.
This afternoon, Mia obediently followed Xia De after she was full. When Xia De participated in the activities, it quietly lay on Xia De's lap, or dozed off, or stared at its own tail. When Xia De gave a speech, it was lying next to the water glass on Xia De's right hand, so that once when Xia De was holding the water glass, Xia De almost picked the cat up.
The cat, who was timid about the unfamiliar celebration environment at noon, has almost completely adapted to it. So after saying goodbye to Bishop Owen, Xia De thought about taking the cat outside to have a look.
Just as he left the bishop's office with Priest Augustus, a tall middle-aged priest ran over in a hurry:
"Mr. Hamilton! Someone is looking for you."
"Don't run in church."
Priest Augustus said to the priest quite seriously, the latter apologized softly, and said that the person who was looking for Shad outside was the Duchess Galina Cavendish.
"You have something else to do?"
The priest asked Xia De with interest, but Xia De didn't know why the other party was looking for him. But according to previous experience, Miss Galina must have something important every time she looks for him.
"Then I will go first, priest, and bid farewell to Bishop Owen for me."
"I'll send you off."
Saying that, the two bid farewell to the priest and walked out along the corridor. After turning the corner, the priest looked back and saw no one behind him, so he whispered to Xia De:
"I remember that you are still 15 credits short. If you have nothing to do on Thursday the day after tomorrow, go to a place with me. Half the probability is evil spirits, and half the probability is that the relic is out of control."
"Oh? Priest, is there anyone else going besides us?"
Xia De also asked in a low voice.
Of course he will go, although he hopes that Iluna, who will return to Tobesk soon, will bring him new things, but after all, there is only a probability of finding trouble there. If the priest also has problems to deal with, of course Shad will not Will miss the chance.
"Just the two of us, two second-ring warlocks are enough, and we all know exorcism."
Priest Augustus said that two young priests holding documents happened to pass by. Priest Augustus stopped to greet them and asked about the distribution of the leaflets.
"Priest, I'm going to meet someone at the train station on Thursday morning."
This refers to Iluna who came back from the Holy See of the Church of the Sun. She has been away for more than a week.
"How about we meet at the church gate at ten?"
"No, not at the church, I will go to your house to find you at ten o'clock on Thursday morning."
The priest said, and then patted Shad on the shoulder:
"If the relic is really out of control, I will give you all the credit for this time. I calculated that the mercury vial you mentioned is worth about 4 or 5 credits. If the relic is really out of control this time, You submitted the report and the out-of-control dangerous relic, even if it's just a clerical-level relic, it's worth at least 9 credits, so that's almost enough."
The doctor got only five credits for the keeper-level relic [the fake Philosopher's Stone]. That's because the college provided a lot of clues, and besides the credits, there was also a private reward from the professor who issued the task. More importantly, the doctor just submitted the relic, and Shade may provide a containment report for future reference.
"Priest, how can I thank you?"
Xia De was a little embarrassed.
"You don't need to thank me, it's just a trivial matter, and it doesn't have to be a relic. If the doctor has the opportunity, they will help you in this way. Remember what happened on Thursday, we met on time at the Plaza de Saint Teresa at ten o'clock in the morning. Also, The Holy Prayer souvenir you asked for and the potion you asked me to identify, I will bring it to you on Thursday."
"It's all right, Priest."
After leaving the church gate and saying goodbye to the priest, standing on the high steps, Xia De saw Miss Galina's carriage parked at the edge of the square at a glance.
Walking quickly through the vendors on the square with the cat in my arms, I glanced at the seminary students wearing hats and standing on stools giving loud speeches, and when I passed by the shiny souvenir stalls, the cat in my arms meowed He screamed and wanted to take a look, but Xia De didn't stop.
Immediately after approaching the carriage, the police came to stop him, but the driver on the carriage said something, and Xia De was allowed to approach the carriage.
The door on the side of the carriage was pushed open, and he walked in with his head down. I thought there would be Miss Maid Tifa Servet in the car, but I didn't expect Miss Maid and Miss Galina to be there.
Not seen for more than a week, the Duchess appears to have fully recovered from her injuries from the Descending incident. She greeted Xia De with a smile while holding a teacup, and then asked Xia De to sit down and talk.
The carriage started slowly and left Liming Square, and there was a lot of voices outside the carriage. Although only believers would come to the church to participate in the celebration, and the excitement of the celebration could not affect the whole city, but this was already the most lively scene that Shad had seen in this world.
"Good afternoon, Detective."
"Good afternoon, Miss Galina."
Xia De responded, and then asked puzzledly:
"Where are we going?"
"send you home."
"Um?"
"It just so happened that I went to the Yodel Palace today, and when I was about to go back, I thought of something I wanted to tell you. I knew you would come to the Holy Prayer Festival, so I came here to find you directly. Did I disturb your holiday fun? "
She asked with a smile, while the maid quietly poured tea for Xia De:
"No disturbing, I planned to go home later, after all, I have something to do at night."
"That's good. I'm not giving you a task this time, but I have two important things to tell you."
She looked at the black-haired maid, who carefully took out an iron triangular object from her pocket and threw it on the floor. It should be something like a "silencing charm".
"The first thing is to confirm that "Whispering Poetry" is completely correct. After the first chosen one appeared, other witches in the council have become active recently. This group of people actually preferred to stay in one place... ...so detective, you'd better not leave Tobesk casually, not every witch is as friendly as me."
Miss Galina warned.
"Yes, I understand."
Xia De nodded:
"What about the second thing?"
"There is news about the second candidate."
"Um?"
Xia De was astonished at the moment, as if he suddenly discovered that Miya was catching mice. While this is normal, it's also not normal.
"The Orthodox Church, Thaumaturgy Academy, and ring warlocks including the Parliament and other organizations fought fiercely in the newly excavated relics of the Fifth Epoch in the New World to **** the brand new slate engraved with the contents of "Whispering Verses". The slate finally I don’t know who got it, but the content on the stone slab is now known to almost everyone. If you think about it, it will be spread all over the world in a few days.”
Although such an important topic was mentioned, the tone of the red-haired Duchess was still very relaxed:
"Don't worry, this time it has nothing to do with us. The slate did not directly give the identity of the chosen one, but delineated a range."
"What exactly did you say?"
Xia De hurriedly asked, which made Miss Galina a little puzzled:
"Are you interested in the chosen one? Oh, young gentleman, such impatience does not please the ladies."
She teased, and the maid also smiled.
"The slate says that before darkness falls, the chosen ones are in danger at sea. That is the direction of the setting sun, that is the harbor of the old land, and he will escape from the bandits on the sea."
The "ta" here uses a neuter personal pronoun, which means it is gender-neutral.
Xia De sullenly, his mouth closed subconsciously, because he thought of something:
"Um......"
"This is an obvious instruction. It probably means that the chosen ones will be in danger on the west coast of the Old World before they really awaken. The dangers they encounter are related to pirates, but since they are worthy of being written in "Whispering Verses", then the so-called pirates are not Probably ordinary pirates."
"Um......"
Miss Galina concluded:
"Counting from the time point half a year before the appearance of the first chosen person, until now, among the escapees who appeared in the mysterious pirate incident on the west coast of the Old Continent, one must be the second chosen person. "
She nodded while talking, and the maid said:
"The predictions of the Witch Emperors are really accurate. They can give such accurate predictions about things thousands of years later."
Only Xia De didn't speak, he hugged the cat and closed his mouth, no one knew what he was thinking.
There were more than a dozen ring warlocks on the cruise ship yesterday, and most of them were still alive when they jumped off the ship and escaped.
Now he finally figured out why the cruise ship happened to encounter the sage-level relics. If he guessed correctly, the ship the witch mentioned was most likely referring to them. I came across the relic because there were Chosen Ones who were not fully awakened on the cruise ship.
But think about it carefully, from south to north, the west coast of the old continent is so long. The incident related to pirates must not be the only one. Maybe Shad's guess is not true.
"You should know that the ancient organizations have more or less mastered some fragments of "Whispering Verses". Now that we have such important information, combined with the clues in their hands, the Church and the Academy have already started a comprehensive search, and the Parliament has also Acting in secret. I think it will take a few days to find out which incident the chosen one survived. The witch of the council will rush there to investigate, just like I came to Tobesk~www.mtlnovel. com~Miss Galina said again, and Xia De, who was holding the cat, spoke:
"Just a few days? Doesn't this require a large-scale search? I thought it would take months."
The witch smiled:
"Xia De, although the world is very dangerous, at least the civilized world is safer. The depths of the ocean are areas where all kinds of weird incidents occur frequently, but the area near the coastline is still very peaceful, otherwise the kingdom's offshore fishery would have collapsed long ago. Counting from half a year ago, how many things do you think can happen in the offshore? No, there are not many. What's more, the time span should not even be counted from half a year ago, but from a few months ago. After all The Whispering Verses refer to the time period 'nearly before awakening'."
"Although the time span is not large, the west coast of the Old World is very long."
Xia De whispered, Miss Galina shook her head again, and said in a teaching tone:
"Things related to pirates, you can imagine that it is definitely not just a static object. Most of the relic levels of such incidents are higher than the level of the keeper. Think carefully, Shade, above the level of the keeper How likely is it to happen? Think again, most of these things happen in the deep sea far from the coast, how many of them can happen on the coastline?"
