Chapter 53

Know etiquette

About five days have passed since Moore was killed, and news about the wolf-headed man has already begun to spread in the streets. I believe that people looking for the background of the photo will soon appear.

Creighton helped a lot in this.

Spending a little money and hiring a few people to spread rumors, the results were even better than he expected.

News is like this, and the truth is often boring.

People are more willing to pay for interesting stories than the truth. This is why so many tabloids still survive.

If the Holy Grail Order notices this news, the Spider Priest may send people to search for the location in the photo.

But neither she nor those who joined in the fun could be found, it was just a cover.

The background of the photo is in the rusty silver coin shop where he temporarily closed his business, where he happened to have a collection of the first cameras sold in the world, so he could take pictures immediately.

Clayton could just follow the clues and find her by smelling which people carried the same scent.

He also saw the death of Salvation Army lieutenant Charles, and immediately took Galeed to the ruins of Notre Dame and found Charles' head and the body of another soldier.

The male waiters behind the counter are becoming more enthusiastic every day. For these people who have worked here for a long time, the decline of the Sheriff's Department is also unacceptable to them.

Of course, it's not a job related to antiques, but the job of a peace officer.

"The Presbyterian Church has obtained what it wants. The goal now is just to maintain it." Galid pointed out the window, "Didn't you find that the air in Sasha City is particularly good?"

Clayton found Galeed, who was educating the new Sheriff in the archives.

Something more or less happened during those few days, which resulted in Clayton not getting the expected reward and losing something.

The efficiency of such work is pitifully low.

Clayton frowned, this was the only thing he couldn't understand:

"Is this what you informed me yesterday? Didn't I prove that he was killed by someone from the Holy Grail Society? Why are the military leaders still fighting with the church? Didn't the Presbyterian Church tell them this?"

Creighton only understood one thing: "It sounds like the Presbyterian Church doesn't need anything."

After temporarily taking out the Silver Star badge from his pocket and putting it on his chest, Clayton walked into the door of the Sheriff's Department carrying the rifle he applied for.

“Can ghosts still predict?”

Clayton considered his words, and found that he had underestimated these existences:

"This was really eye-opening for me."

The lobby on the first floor of the General Public Security Bureau is getting more and more deserted. Bruno recently thanked Sanders for persuading him to make a deposit, and provided a free piece of information: In the past month, orders for gun smuggling in the black market have increased explosively. It seems that

A considerable number of people decided to protect the neighborhood in their own way.

This fact satisfied him.

"Elder Gronje is fine, provided you complete the errand he assigned you."

He once saw a wealthy marquis who spent a lot of money to collect swords. The cost of a hobby can drive the entire industry, but the man could not make the city change according to his own ideas.

Now, although he did not bring the original whale placenta to Gronje, this sacred object is actually in the control of the Presbyterian Church.

The Horn Rat disappeared the night he killed Moore because it was placed in his pocket, and Clayton needed to take off his clothes before transforming. This long process gave it enough time to leave. However, since it had been lost

The ability to communicate with others, Clayton did not try to find it.

"Just like the previous tenant of the house you lived in."

He has been reading a book recently. According to the description in the book sent by Tritis, ghosts are cursed people who have almost no desire except to know other people's secrets. Therefore, they are neutral existences and are relatively trustworthy.

Clayton thought about it.

These beings who have satisfied their own desires are indeed more trustworthy than others.

"If I want to learn a spell, is there any elder who can help?"

"The elders liked the fresh air, but they didn't want to live in the forest, so they directly transformed the city. Thousands of acres of forest were planted outside the city, which was created by the elders of Gronje hiring unemployed people in the past thirty years.

The Presbyterian Church's factory industry in Sasha City prefers to employ a large number of laborers rather than industrial machinery that emits waste gas. Elder Fisher is a ghoul, so he built a private cemetery and clinic to provide himself with food. Cheryl

The elder likes to read books, and her large library has close cooperation with Sion University. She spends a lot of money to collect historical documents that are said to be lost, no matter the cost, and she is a famous bibliophile."

No town with train access will be more refreshing than the real countryside.

This man might be able to succeed, Clayton thought.

Of course, this is also related to the conditions of Sasha City itself. There are no rare natural resources here and the transportation is not convenient, so there are not so many eyes coveting this place. The Presbyterian Church can naturally take this land into its possession.

Clayton thought Simon would be embarrassed by the unfriendly exchange at the Pulitzer House, but the man now greeted him nicely.

Halfway through, Galide turned to Simon and whispered to him to learn how to write case records, and then turned back to Clayton and said: "The people Elder Groene arranged for you last time have now joined the Sheriff's Subsidy Manpower

, they are waiting for you at the notary office now. The right to first-hand inspection of Second Lieutenant Charles’ body falls with the army, and you need to send it over in a while.”

The gun lent to Joe was missing, but Clayton didn't care too much.

Clayton remained silent. He had not been to many cities and believed that the air quality in Sasha City was not as good as that of his hometown Butnu.

But he was not, so he ignored Simon and spoke directly to Galid: "Brother, the clues I provided also included the location of the holy object. When will the six thousand pounds promised by Elder Gronje be released?"

Can the account be received?"

He now has a demon that he can contract with. If he can interrupt Clara's current contract, sign a new cooperation contract, learn and master spiritual magic, then it will be much easier for him to deal with the Spider Priest.

Clayton couldn't understand this situation: "But there has to be someone in charge, right?"

"You will know when you get older. Real predictions do not exist. This is just a summary of certain laws."

Clayton felt that some of the actions of the Presbyterian Church were insincere.

Galid said that he didn't like to keep secrets as much as the other ghost, maybe because they were not secrets.

Afterwards, Gronje hoped that he could take care of the Spider Priests of the Holy Grail Order, but he did not explain his motive for doing so.

Since those who captured Joe did not kill him according to Moore's suggestion, it means that they can still think normally and their connection with the Holy Grail Society is not deep enough. If the gun falls into the hands of these people, nothing will happen.

Galid glanced at Clayton, who was in a surprised mood: "The powerful dark descendants are more pure than you think. The elders really just want to maintain a reassuring order, so they established the Council of Elders for this reason. You

Don’t think of it as a close-knit group like the military.”

Clayton originally wanted to leave, but Galeed's last words stopped him.

These measures are disrespectful to people.

Although winter is about to begin now, and corpses are less susceptible to decay when the temperature drops, still delaying the autopsy for five days can be considered excessive.

Clayton changed into a black coat and went out, renting a carriage as usual and going to the General Sheriff's Department of St. Mellon Parish.

"Don't be angry, this is actually the best, isn't it?" Galid laughed and pressed his hands down, "This means that you don't have to do things for the Presbyterian Church often. Unless you ask yourself, no one will take the initiative to mention those things.

.”

Rich people are more willing to give charity. This is a universal truth.

"Don't think of the Presbyterian Church as some kind of power group. There is no one else above us, only four elders, but they are often absent. Most changes in regulations are decided by vote, which is as fair as the pirates in the Age of Discovery."

Things here in the Holy Grail Club can be put aside for the time being. Their enthusiasm for finding Joe Mani will be higher than those who simply play detective games. Waiting for a while will make their presence more prominent among the crowd.

The new guy is Simon.

But before that, he had to deal with the affairs of the Presbyterian Church.

The basic quality of successful people is "shamelessness".

Galid rolled his eyes: "I'm not an errand boy. If you want to know, go find the elder yourself."

It's always nice to go out on a sunny day, but doing it for work is another story.

"How do I know where he is now? He has so many properties. You recruited me, but you didn't tell me anything about the mysterious side. Do you really want to recruit people?"

The only difficulty is that Clara may not understand how she casts the spell.

"Then what's their attitude towards the Holy Grail Society?" Clayton sincerely asked Galid.

He said this to both Clayton and Simon.

Clayton is convinced that he has nothing they want except attacking the Holy Grail Society's advantage, so the chance of them having a conflict is very small.

"Some people don't believe it, and some people think this is a good opportunity to deal with the Salvation Army. It's the same on both sides, but the focus of the propaganda is different." Galid shook his head and sighed at the stupidity of human beings: "Okay, you are serious.

Duo. Come on, I'm going to get into trouble soon."

Galeed said that there was a great banquet at the Pulitzer Mansion for the first time, but he had to wait for a long time without seeing the speaker. Later, Julius came out to cause trouble, and Gronier arrived in the second half.

The paragraph is purely a speech on partnership.

This is the teaching of a person in his fifties to a person in his thirties. But Clayton has never heard of other old people having such abilities, so he doesn’t know whether he should take these words seriously, but Galeed

It doesn't look like he's joking.

He went out and went downstairs, and saw Marietta coming up to him.

She failed to recognize him and passed by with a gloomy look on her face, carrying an air of approaching storm towards the room where he came out.

"Maybe Galeed will really predict." Clayton was suddenly surprised.
