14 Contributions and investigations

The gloomy sky above my head was dim and deep, and the sunlight was faintly revealed behind the gray clouds, but I couldn't see too much.

It was noon at this moment, but the temperature in the air was quite cold, causing the passers-by to speed up.

Due to his own talent, Charles didn't care about this coldness. He just didn't want to attract too much attention in this kind of thing, but he added a coat to himself like the people around him.

A gray coat, a black tuxedo inside and a white shirt and a black vest, a silk top hat on her head, stood there with her waist straightened. If it weren't for the lack of a cane, Charles could have basically been called a perfect gentleman at this moment.

After stepping down from the carriage, a greeting came from afar before he could leave.

"Hey, Charles, here!"

Turning around, Betty, with her petite blond hair and petite squint eyes, was jumping to greet him on the other side of the square, and beside her were Connie, who hadn't seen for a long time, and two ladies she didn't know.

Although Charles wanted to go to the church to hand over directly, he still walked over patiently to the greetings of the two acquaintances.

"Long time no see, I'm getting more and more handsome." Betty said with a smile when he glanced at the conspicuous hair color exposed from the brim of the hat. While saying that, he also touched Connie beside him with his arm. "Do you think so?"

Connie nodded seriously. The other two strangers looked at the scene with smiles.

Charles just smiled and said nothing about their jokes.

"By the way, this one is Mesa Livin, we are from Chauvin Roland County, this one is Carly Doyle, who is local like you, and she also said she has met your father. They are people from the Gospel Department like us, but they are just the second group."

Betty, who is quite active, introduced the two people beside him, one of whom was brown and gray-eyed, and was about the same height as Charles. The other was petite, but had big eyes.

However, Charles didn't look at it much. After a few polite eyes, he shifted his eyes.

However, obviously, the two strange ladies were still very curious about Charles.

In fact, although Charles has not shown himself much during this period, he was valued by Siegel, the head of the Gospel Department, but was basically known to the entire Gospel Department.

These members' attitudes towards the Gospel Department are different from those of Charles' indifferent care. They can find out and react to some of the changes in the first place.

At first, the others were a little dissatisfied with this. After all, they were all on the same starting line, so who could be better than who, but when the first interview manuscript of Shire appeared in the newspaper yesterday, this dissatisfaction basically disappeared.

Even the brown-haired Mesha was sighing before that no wonder she was assigned two tasks in just five days. The manuscript was indeed better than those of them, and it was very fast, and she didn't look like a rookie at all.

That's right, Shire was assigned another nearby interview task by Siegel yesterday, and now he has just returned. Even at this moment, the annoying old oak man was walking slowly towards the church with a crutch.

But Charles did not show any pride or joy in this regard.

Since he noticed the abnormality of the lieutenant bishop and understood that he didn't have much time to salt fish, he felt a sense of tension.

At this time, I should have tried to find a way to be busy with this matter, but I had to delay a lot of time because of the mission of the Gospel Department.

It can only be said that the task does not take much time, and most of it is spent on the road, so you can also think about things, just like last time. Otherwise, Shire would definitely find someone to get sick or delay other reasons, so at this moment, Shire has actually planned and is preparing to implement it, but he just needs to wait for the opportunity to come.

"Are you ready for the dove of peace tomorrow's Peace Day?"

"Of course, not only the dove of peace, but also the white hats embroidered with ribbons are ready. I just customized a black veil from the Casilit Clothes Store. It looks very beautiful. I will take you to see it later."

"What about the garland? How about the garland?"

"Well... the garland made of yellow rose flowers should be very suitable..."

"Prince Chauvin is in Dulin now. Tomorrow's Peace Festival will probably be grand, so we need to wear more solemnly."

"Of course, but I think it's good to wear it in line with tradition. Just forget about the doves of peace. It is said that people secretly catch the doves that they are spared every year and then sell them."

"What happened like this!?"

...

After a few polite greetings, Charles said goodbye and left, while the ladies began to chatter about tomorrow's festival. However, after he was far away from a certain position, they naturally changed the subject.

"Don't say, Charles is actually very good."

"Yes, it's said that he was so rude before, and he beats people when he sees them. It's not the case at all. I think he's very polite."

"You don't think about who he offended, as the prince of Dulin, it is natural that those small newspapers cannot say to Charles."

...

As Charles' companion, Angus Oak had already arrived in the "study room" of the Gospel Department before him. After Charles arrived late, he only glanced at it and continued to look down at the book in his hand.

Siegel, the bearded man sitting behind the desk, greeted him.

"Thank you for your hard work, sit down and rest."

This person has always been very enthusiastic about Charles, which is one of the reasons why Charles is patient.

After a few greetings, Siegel took out a letter and handed it to him: "This is the introduction letter I wrote. You can exchange it for the corresponding contribution points after you get the logistics. Your last article was well received after being published in the church's internal newspapers. Our preliminary estimate of the contribution value is 15 points. If it can continue to have an impact in the future, it may be added."

15?

Charles didn't expect that there would be so many, and he thought it would be good to earn a basic score. So when he received the letter, he subconsciously thought about what spells he could exchange for these contributions.

Making holy water? Blessings of courage? Or the eye of medical treatment?

It didn't seem to be of great use. And he thought that no matter which one he changed, it would be impossible to learn it immediately, so he ignored this matter for the time being.

Seeing that he looked calm, Siegel admired him quite much.

"Tomorrow's Peace Festival, the day after tomorrow will be the annual prayer day for St. Casso Church, so take a good rest during this period. Tell me in advance if you have something to do, and the same is true for any trouble. You must believe that the church is always your strong backing."

Siegel's words mean something.

Charles felt that this person must have known about the undercurrents in the city of Porso during this period.

...

Detective Katy met a very strange client these two days. He couldn't speak and couldn't read. The weirdest thing was that he was wearing a ragged robe.

But he was able to take out sufficient gold coins to entrust him to investigate the information.

Detective Katie was unheard of when he saw this stammeringly communicating with him on a note. He even had the urge to rob the other party - there was no way, this rusty bun is really rich.

But when he saw this situation where he seemed honest and actually knocked a gangster to the ground with one punch, he suppressed this impulse.

Then he began to do his job honestly.

It is also very strange to blame the client for doing things. In fact, what he wants to investigate doesn't cost so much money. It's mainly to investigate the gang forces, deeds, and their addresses in the city of Porso.

This kind of thing is a completely "score issue" for private detectives who often get mixed up with the various religions and the rest of the world.

And because this task is too simple, Detective Katy didn't fool anything on it. Of course, he had to admit that after seeing that person's strength, he was a little afraid to take risks.

Now, it is the time to hand over the task.

The young detective sat quietly on the chair and waited. Time passed. Soon after, a knock on the door rang out, and then a thin middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked in.

Looking at the brown robe that was still exactly the same as when I saw it last time, but was much dirty. After seeing him taking the information and turning the final bill on his desk, Detective Katie had the urge to follow him and investigate.

It was just a habit of being a private detective that he finally held back.

"In this world, only cautious detectives can live longer, cannot go, cannot go."

Murmuring, the young detective turned around and closed the door of the detective office, took the commission and found a direction in the opposite direction, and went out casually.

...

He obviously wouldn't have thought that this generous guest was actually not a real person.

After leaving the detective station, the strange man walked towards a nearby street. After arriving at the destination, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and directly pressed the stack of paper he had just obtained under a brick and stone under a kerosene street lamp on the side of the road.

Then he turned around and left.

Not long after, a black carriage slowly drove over and did not stop. However, when passing by, the stack of paper pressed under the bricks automatically floated and flew near without wind. After reaching the edge of the open window, it was grabbed by a slender and fair hand.
