Chapter 78
People should perform their duties
In any case, Clayton will not admit that he actually caught up with Faslag.
These people who hold public power are quite dedicated when dealing with complicated and boring data, but if the matter is related to themselves, they will show their extraordinary ability to make independent decisions and make things move in their own favorable direction.
Either it can give you an advantage, or it can allow you to spend less effort. In short, you can ignore the truth when necessary.
Clayton also believed that there was no necessary connection between whether he caught up with Faslag and Faslag's death.
He is not that noble to send himself to prison just to tell the truth.
The bishop cleared his throat, holding the scepter with both hands, and he was not as enthusiastic as a priest should be when facing a dark descendant:
"The groom was attacked from the back. It is true that he did not see his attacker before he fell unconscious, but he found money stuffed into the collar of the back of his neck. This may be some kind of compensation. I think
, even if the person who attacked him did such a thing, he should be a compassionate person."
The words were good, but the timing was wrong.
Now, anyone can see that they expect someone to admit that they have had contact with Faslag, but only God knows the consequences of admitting it.
"This has nothing to do with me. I heard that on the sea, some pirates will give betrayers a black coin, called death money. When the betrayer who stole the gang's wealth receives the death money, he will know the hiding place
He has been exposed and his life is not long. Perhaps this groom has experience of serving at sea."
Snapped!
The officer slammed a pistol onto the table.
Through their reactions, Clayton immediately found that he had grasped the opponent's pain point, and he pursued the victory: "I don't know what kind of person Second Lieutenant Charles is in his life, but attacking a serving officer is a more serious crime than ordinary murders. For ordinary people,
If you fight with a lieutenant, you will be imprisoned for at least three months, and the sentence will be four times that of an ordinary person. If you are killed, the situation may be more serious. Not only will the murderer receive the death penalty, but all his property will be confiscated. As the commander, what will you do to Charles?
It is obviously irresponsible to sit back and ignore the death of the second lieutenant."
Clayton sighed, it wasn't that he didn't know, he was just taking a chance.
The old bishop raised his hand, indicating that he still had some questions to ask.
This is not what Clayton wants to see.
But when he mentioned Charles, the expressions of the three people became weird again.
The word "but" is often followed by the opposite content of the first half of the sentence. The three gentlemen concentrated their attention until they heard the "Holy Grail Meeting".
"Because my military rank before retiring was a lieutenant." Clayton raised his head and pointed at him with his chin. "But don't look at me as just a lieutenant. My military rank is not high. All the medals you have earned combined may not be as good as mine."
Good piece."
The werewolf revealed part of what happened to the Holy Grail Society, but the city administrators responded only mediocrely.
"Then if Second Lieutenant Charles was killed by someone from the Holy Grail Society, would you care?"
When he said this to his face, the bishop didn't get angry. He just said softly: "Times have changed."
Clayton Bello must be so confident because the major did not want to humiliate himself in front of the other two.
Clayton now has to pretend not to know about Faslag, but the other dead officer can bring it up openly, especially since Second Lieutenant Charles’ current head must be a forgery. He doesn’t believe that Achill didn’t check.
come out.
"Who will handle it?" Doron asked.
Clayton didn't think so: "You are right, but I think that whether the people of the Holy Grail Society killed Second Lieutenant Charles had nothing to do with whether they broke the law. They could kill Second Lieutenant Charles, and of course they dared to attack other people. So.
I think the Holy Grail will be a huge source of instability that needs to be dealt with promptly."
"thanks for your reminder."
Officer Doron, let's call him Major here, his expression twisted like a mouse in labor after Clayton's analysis.
Clayton sat solemnly: "Then I don't know. But..."
"Is that what you want to say? Boring." The officer looked at the others: "Let's let him go. Seeing him like this will tell you that it's useless."
A normal person would not take the initiative to understand the consequences of attacking a soldier. He felt that this bastard came to cause trouble for him deliberately after investigating everything.
Before he spoke, the official shrugged and tilted his upper body towards Clayton: "Unfortunately, Mr. Bello. The nature of the Holy Grail Society and the Presbyterian Church are actually similar. You seem to have only recently become a member of them, so why not
It’s time to accept reality. In this world, morality is just an embellishment of power. Although this has always been the case, the truth does not need to be concealed here. Organizations that have the ability to obstruct production activities will receive certain preferential treatment. Even Bishop Burton cannot avoid reality.
, even though in our propaganda, the clergy have always been at odds with you, but in reality when we meet, we can only say hello."
"This has nothing to do with you!" He slammed his hands on the table and glared at Clayton fiercely: "And you, how did he know this?"
His tone softened and he tried to persuade the werewolf: "So you have also been a soldier, so you should have heard of what the Salvation Army is. They are a group of epileptic fanatics who also try to infect others. Sasha City
Without these people, it might be a good thing."
"Not everyone is as heartless as you." The official turned his face away in disgust and continued to say to Clayton: "In short, whether you want to kill each other or coexist peacefully, we don't care. Dark descendants
Autonomy is the norm here, but it is not completely without rules. If it makes the news, you will be under his control." He pointed at the officer. "If the identity of the dark descendant is publicized everywhere, then it will be under his control.
The boss manages it.”
"If Harden had the experience of serving at sea, he wouldn't be grooming these beasts all day long. What happened to Faslag? You just need to answer this question."
When he was in service, he could still use his level to suppress the opponent, but once he retired, their abilities were judged solely by the value of their badges.
He simply said, "Please go deal with the Holy Grail Club."
Even if there is no key evidence of the wound location, it is definitely not normal for a corpse to have an extra head inexplicably.
"I have nothing to say, he deserves it."
After confirming that Clayton really didn't know, the major's tone became tough again: "You don't think that only humans can become monsters, do you? If it weren't for that damn Gronje of your Presbyterian Church who hired human beings outside the city
We have destroyed a forest and made wild beasts everywhere, so we don’t have so few manpower to defend the city. We have to deal with the weird wild animals in the sewers and the forest.”
A considerable number of low-level officers achieved dazzling results during the war, but did not receive commensurate promotion rewards.
"What does this question mean?"
"Since last month, an organization calling itself the Holy Grail Society has entered Sasha City. I have personally witnessed their members committing crimes in the city. At least three people have been killed so far, and the real number of victims will only be more."
The officer's face was particularly ugly, while the officer seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He turned to look at the officer: "Duolong, what he said is right."
The officer looked at the official with a fake expression of surprise on his face: "It's really rare. I didn't expect that I would see a day when you show mercy. Or is it that the death of old Godwin made you confused?"
Major Doron stopped talking.
Clayton only knew this now, and he could somewhat understand the major's attitude, but he still had problems in his heart.
“Then why not let the Salvation Army take care of the chores?”
The officer suddenly stopped talking and looked at the bishop cautiously, but the latter made no sign.
Clayton suddenly discovered that the relationship between the military and the church seemed different from what he knew before.
