"Halsey is an inhuman existence and has been rooted in Pulmouth for many years. His status in the Black Queen is much higher than mine, and he has access to more hidden circles."
Aaron returned to the Hunter Bar with a smile on his face.
"If he comes forward, he is more likely to get the information than me... Moreover, he also asked me to help create magical items, and he will do my best."
As for the required price, Aaron only asked Halsey to help find out. Anyway, this kind of transaction may require several back-and-forth communications. Many of them are barter, and some have time to prepare.
In his hands, there are also inhuman items such as bone statues and witch pendants, which can be used as trading items.
'If that doesn't work, throwing out the remnants of the Blood Cup Archbishop's fifth substance will definitely attract the attention of many hyenas, um, and the Bureau of Investigation...'
He came to the bar and saw William, who had been busy for a long time and rarely stopped to rest, and immediately stepped forward.
"Old...boss."
William was startled when he was caught taking a break from work, and he quickly bowed and saluted.
"If you have nothing to do, go to the market more often. Our bar is a bridge connecting extraordinary people and ordinary people. How can we attract business if you don't go around more?! Of course, I am doing private work in your name. I, an ordinary person, the boss, has no idea
…”
Aaron criticized a few words, and finally ordered: "Go to Barkin and tell him to add a task to the bounty wall to investigate Baron Jacques's social network and the truth about the arson of his manor! The reward is 100 pounds!"
"yes!"
William went to see Manager Barkin without any suspicion. In his opinion, this was an ordinary commission that the boss received from the Black Queen.
And the reward of 100 pounds is already generous enough to make those bounty hunters excited.
He walked past 'Crazy' Karl, whose eyes made him tremble with fear, and flirted with Isabette for a few more times before finding Manager Barkin.
And when Barkin hung up the mission target and reward, there was indeed a sensation in the bar.
Many bounty hunters secretly remembered this task and were ready to try their luck.
Investigating the truth behind the arson case was, of course, a cover, and Aaron knew the inside story better than anyone else.
What he really wanted to see was Baron Jacques's interpersonal relationship report.
With these key clues, we can investigate and even...divine!
"You haven't killed that kid yet..."
When passing by Karl's table, this 'madman' raised his glass and said to Aaron: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, extraordinary people are all madmen, or potential madmen, the kind that are crazier than me."
"Thank you for the reminder. I'll buy you a drink tonight."
Aaron felt that this Karl man was not bad, and maybe his madness was just a disguise.
"All right……"
Karl curled his lips, sat down indifferently, and shouted: "Bring me the best wine in your bar. Your boss is treating me. Hurry!"
"Coming."
William had no idea that this guest suggested that the boss get rid of him, and he diligently took out a bottle of beautifully packaged high-end wine from behind the counter: "Queen Mary's Sigh...the best in our bar."
He saw some dust on the wine bottle and frowned. Isabette next to him immediately handed over a towel. The two looked at each other and smiled. Although it was relatively hidden, Aaron who was watching suddenly felt like he had been stuffed with dog food.
'Well...it looks like things are getting better...should I promulgate new rules in the bar tomorrow, prohibiting office romance, and let anyone who dares break it be fired?'
He touched his chin and thought about this very tempting idea.
…
Sunday.
Isabette came to the church at the corner of Mary Street.
She found that many neighbors came, and Mrs. Sugar was among them.
Priest Im is in his twenties, handsome and a typical Inves man, and he is indeed very popular with the ladies.
Wearing a priest's uniform and wearing the emblem of the trinity of sun, moon and star on his chest, he smiled warmly and stood on the stage to preach:
"In the beginning, the Holy Spirit said there should be light... so there were sun, moon and stars in the world... The sun, moon and stars were the incarnations of the Holy Spirit, and the brilliance was His domain..."
"The Holy Spirit gives us warmth, gives us light and heat, gives us shelter..."
“Praise the Holy Spirit!”
Im's expression is enthusiastic and his voice is very contagious.
“Praise the Holy Spirit!”
The believers in the audience all spoke in agreement.
Isabette was mixed in among the many believers and also followed in the praise, but she was slightly confused.
Because she loved learning and was very motivated, she had read the "Bible Doctrine" by the alcoholic Priest Smith before. Although what this Priest Im said was generally consistent, it seemed to have added a lot of new content.
In particular... the Holy Spirit is too closely associated with brilliance, and concepts such as light and heat are mentioned many times.
In the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit encompasses all things and is the symbol of everything, not just brilliance!
"By the grace of the Holy Spirit, His blood and flesh are given to us to fill our hungry stomachs...Thanks be to the Holy Spirit."
Priest Im smiled and announced: "The next step is the Holy Communion."
The believers stood up automatically and lined up, waiting to receive bread and other relief supplies. Many poor people struggled to survive on this little food.
The ant-like team moved forward slowly, and Isabette saw Mrs. Sugar next to Priest Im as an assistant.
Moreover, unlike the previous distribution of relief supplies, this time everyone who comes forward will also receive a glass of wine.
"The Holy Spirit said on the Mount of Olives, This is my blood, the covenant. Drink it and you will make a covenant..."
Priest Im kept reciting verses that Isabette had never heard of in a low voice.
Finally, it was her turn to come to the relief point.
Mrs. Sugar specially selected the heaviest loaf of bread, put it into Isabette's hand, and whispered a few words to Priest Im.
"Isabette..."
Priest Im had a gentle smile on his face: "I am shepherding lambs for the Holy Spirit. I hope you can come often in the future...Last time, all the neighbors had gifts. This is what I left specially for you."
He smiled and handed over a pendant.
At the end of a very ordinary string of fine hemp ropes, there was a strange statue. It was a bloody human figure, tied to a thorn tree.
'this……'
Isabette exclaimed in her heart, it was so incredible.
Because the Holy Spirit is supreme, he has no specific human image.
Except for those local angels who have been incorporated, that is, the gods, but the Holy Spirit Religion is also trying to weaken its influence.
Especially in church accessories, personal images of gods are absolutely not allowed to appear.
'This is blasphemy!'
'Priest Im... is he a heretic in the Holy Spirit Religion?'
Isabette took the necklace and hesitated whether she should report it to the Belief Theory Department at the church headquarters.
At this moment, Mrs. Sugar handed over the glass full of wine with a smile: "My child... you must be thirsty, right?"
"Thanks."
Isabette took it and took a sip, and was suddenly surrounded by a strange feeling.
Her body seemed to be flowing in a warm river, and Im's words from before appeared in her ears: "This is my blood, a covenant. If you drink it, you will make a covenant..."
Isabette suddenly no longer had the slightest idea of telling the truth, because she had already made a 'contract'!
