From Father Gerhardt, Hermione roughly understood the current structure of the clergy of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, which is divided into three levels: divine, holy, and holy.
The pope belongs to the divine order, the only one; the holy orders are cardinals and archbishops; the holy orders are the middle-level personnel, divided into bishops (chief priests), priests, deacons (first-class deputy priests), assistant deacons (second-class deputy priests),
Father Gerhardt is a first-class priest, and Salmont is the lowest second-class priest, that is, a Bible reader. The trainee deacon is not qualified to read scriptures to others without permission, so he cannot be counted and has to wait until he is transferred to the lowest level.
Only a second-class priest can do his job alone.
Hermione knew Yanqi's level very well, and he might become a cardinal or archbishop in the future. Cordis should be a first-class deacon or a second-class deacon.
"Are you planning to take a break after blessing the couple for the wedding?"
"That's natural. Things can't be finished. The Lord of Knowledge may not mind taking a short vacation when His devout followers work so hard."
"Praise Him, only knowledge is eternal." Hermione also pretended to reply to Cordis, as long as she was firm in her heart. As for her words, the great being would forgive her for being hypocritical to the God of knowledge and wisdom.
"Ms. Austin, did you meet a group of gangsters last night and borrow the name of Archbishop Colomber?"
Curtis leaned on the wicker chair and put his arms on the armrests of the chair. After speaking with a smile, he took a sip of the liquid in the cup and pointed to another cup already placed on the table. "This is brewed with raspberries, you have to try it."
?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong with them? The brave driver took me away from them. The people here are very brave."
"It's nothing. It's a good time to die. Thank you for your contribution to this city. Cheers. Just remember not to use Archbishop Colomber's name indiscriminately in the future. If she blames her, we will be the ones suffering."
Hermione picked up the tall glass and clinked it with him. It was estimated that only Yanqi knew her identity. It was normal for Cordis to say this. This was for the believers to do good deeds. It was okay to borrow it. Who would dare to provoke her?
I can't help but look down on her.
The raspberry beer she drank was rich and mellow, a little sweet and cool, and the alcohol was not high. Hermione felt emotional that she only knew how wonderful the world is after leaving Loen.
"Next time, I'll tell you and Bishop Yanqi that it's okay. After all, a weak girl like me can easily get into trouble if she goes out without someone to protect her."
"Ms. Austin, your extraordinary beauty has betrayed you. Even if I don't pay attention, I will be attracted to you, and your red hair makes it easier for you to become the focus. I know that special sequence, since the above
I didn’t say anything, and it’s hard for me to say anything. If I meet those people again, it’s okay to mention my and Bishop Yanqi’s names, but they probably won’t have the chance to hear them. It’s their luck to hear them.”
"You are so lacking in gentlemanly manners. This is not a quality that a noble should have. As long as they don't mess with me, I don't care." For the enemies he faces, he is really weak now.
A fight will make people run away.
"Since I've joined the church, why do I care about this? I'm afraid the whole city combined won't be weak enough to fight you."
After Cordis finished speaking, the two fell silent. People in formal clothes came in and out of the hotel entrance. On the lawn behind, the staff put away the flowers, arches, chairs, and carpets. Hermione watched with interest.
Sit forward, taste the wine in the cup, stay in good condition to face the unknown, and leave the rest to fate.
"Why don't you go in and continue? The dinner is about to begin."
"The session is over. Now when people are socializing with each other, why should I go in wearing this clothes? Talk about church business?"
"After working here all day, you know how to work."
"I am in charge of these things. Others will naturally be responsible for the killing. I will go back first. There are probably many babies there waiting for me to baptize."
Curtis finished the wine in his glass and walked to the path in the green belt and left. Hermione took out the wine bottle half buried in the ice and continued to taste it.
Yanqi, who was in the bishop's office, put the files in his hands on a separate pile. Adding this one, there were already five files. The assistant who came to report was talking about the recent situation in the diocese.
"Calm has returned to the town of Garcia. They have been reporting supernatural incidents in a certain garden some time ago, but now they say they have subsided."
"The reply from the church leader has arrived. They have dealt with it. Next one."
"Some giant creatures are suspected to have appeared in the Carrington area. They are agile and not very intelligent, but they are skilled in using terrain and weapons. They have caused great losses to the people and things harvesting trees there. The leader seems to be able to condense lightsabers.
.The presiding priest of the local church, Josephine Schaer, hopes that the church will send strong people to deal with it as soon as possible."
"Take it to Deacon Lisbeth and ask her to apply to the church for an elite team to deal with it. It should be a mutated creature with characteristics of the warrior path. It took so long to come out. Ask her to come to me and apply for 2-105 response.
.Next."
"The Chief of the Stuttgart Police Department, Lai Han, said that the public security in the city has been cleaned up. Thanks to the church for its assistance, this is the list of those who have been cleared."
Yanqi took it, looked at it, nodded, and then threw it into the pile of documents that were a little messy because they were piled too high. The intern assistant who would sort them out later would sort them out.
"These moths should be cleaned out regularly. They serve no purpose except attracting evil spirits and harming devout believers. Next one."
"Edward Anhalt's family has been a little strange recently. As the deputy speaker of the local parliament, he has not attended the parliament for a long time. Speaker Heinrich von Cordis hopes that the church can provide some help to investigate his anomalies, and finally
Well, Bishop Yanqi, please go check it out. This is his letter to you."
Yanqi took the letter and was silent for a few seconds, then asked the assistant deacon to continue.
"Congressmen Lyman and Walter would like you to attend their wedding dinner tonight. They have something to tell you."
"It depends on the situation. There happens to be something related to them. I will have to see Edward Anhalt later before I can make a decision. Next one."
"Some unnatural decay occurred on the road from Stuttgart to Garcia, turning some areas into purple-black desert. It only appeared today."
"Seal it up and don't let anyone in, and see if it can be purified with holy water. Do you have any clues about those people who are different?"
"Yes, it is also in this place. A few days ago, some villagers saw a somewhat crazy man saying that there would be disasters there. It should be referring to the decline today. The man was said to have gone to Garcia Town, and the people below were
Look for it, we will tell you as soon as there is any news."
"Okay, this information is enough."
Yanqi raised his head. Combining those materials and this case, it turns out that there is indeed no trace of Garcia in this year's cycle. Although it is not ruled out that there may not be any for a long time, the probability is very high. Unknown knowledge seems to be
is being uncovered.
"Let Lisbeth go get the Book of Contract and the Badge of the Glory of Jealousy and Pain first. You summon the deacon, and we will go to Anhalt's house now."
"Okay, Bishop, I'll make arrangements right away."
The game between the blue and white uniforms above the Kamari Stadium and below has ended. The spectators ran into the stadium a little out of control, and were blocked from the central stand area by hired temporary security personnel.
Craig and Carolyn stood up from their seats and looked at Geisler, Luo Li and others who were presiding over the affairs in the middle. Mainly Luo Li and Matthias were talking. Geisler just remained silent.
Adele held hands with Hans and Emma from the area behind Geisler and watched.
"I kind of want to get to know them. This is such a fantastic idea that makes people's blood boil with excitement."
After finishing speaking, she walked over there without waiting for Craig's reply, attracting a lot of attention.
Hermione, who had been sitting outside for a while, tasted the bottle of wine and left the place to go back. The waiter at the door stopped her and asked her to show her invitation. She showed him the house key sign to prove that she was a resident here. At the waiter's door
I apologized and went back inside.
Waiters carrying large and small plates and pushing dining carts came in and out of the banquet hall on one side. The rhythm of the music inside was up and down, and two rows of people dancing inside could be seen outside the door.
Along the streamlined stairs in front, Hermione stepped on the red carpet that had been replaced. She took a shower and had a good rest. She should be there soon. She had some premonitions.
Some gentlemen and ladies also walked down the stairs, chatting and laughing. She ignored these glances and went to the reception desk on the second floor platform. The dishes there happened to be the same square fried dumplings as today, but unfortunately the dough was a little different, so
Ask the waiter to bring a serving of this for dinner.
"Can you ask the chef to make the filling saltier? Use boiling water to cook one portion. Remember to boil it before adding it. It would be better to use light bone broth."
"Okay, miss, I will pass it on to the chef."
"Thank you very much, then I'll leave it to you."
After thanking the somewhat blushing and shy waiter, Hermione went back up to her 517. The inside had been cleaned, and even her boots on the shoe rack at the door had been wiped clean. Of course, they were not dirty in the first place.
Putting her coat and hat on the hanger, and after getting ready, she jumped directly to the sofa and lay down, waiting for her dinner to come to her door. The glass vase on the table inside was also decorated with some zigzag red roses.
A big golden bird that emitted light appeared out of thin air, and touched Hermione's face with its head. After a while, it left an envelope and then disappeared. That was the messenger from Pope Derrick communicating with her. It seemed like there was something else.
Things are coming.
Hermione stuffed the pillows behind her, put her feet on the cushioned armrest on the other side, and looked at it in an indistinct manner.
"Sorry, Hermione, I just came out not long ago and don't know much about Swan Castle, but Mr. Fool is a very nice person and he will protect you, so don't worry.
I have received that characteristic, and you can use it to develop some peripheral members in the future. Here is a spell that can temporarily restore your previous peak power. I hope it can help you, so that you don’t have to use it every time you encounter danger.
Passively enabled.
If you need help, you can ask us. There is no need to hold on by yourself. Our Silver City is what we are today because of our unity."
Hermione put away the gray-black charm that had an ancient aura, put the paper in her hand away, and looked at the ceiling in deep thought. The crystal chandelier above was emitting a soft light.
I have received a lot of gifts now, and I am afraid that I will have to sell myself to the church in order to be able to afford it in the future. Life!
Hermione was brought back to reality by the knock on the door, and she quickly got up, smoothed the wrinkles in her clothes, and opened the door. It was completely dark outside the window.
Outside is the waiter from the second floor. He is pushing a dining cart with covered food on it, as well as white ceramic bowls as big as the palm of your hand, also covered with lids.
"Sorry ma'am, it's a little late, I hope you can forgive me."
"Thanks a lot."
"This is our duty, I'll help you put it away."
The waiter placed the main dishes and side dishes as well as the boiled water ordered by Hermione on the dining table. It was next to the window and you could still see the scenery outside the window while eating.
"If you have any other instructions, just ring the bell and we will come as soon as possible."
"OK, thanks."
After sending the waiter away, Hermione sat on the dining table and chair. The main course in front of her was a spaghetti bolognese, classic ham and sausage slices, two salads, vegetables and fruits, and a glass of wine. There was also bread.
As for the yogurt and cheese, considering that I still have a bowl of water to boil, I don’t want them.
When you open the small lid, white heat comes out, and there are square pieces of dough floating on the milky white soup inside, which look like wontons.
Hermione scooped one up with the prepared spoon and ate it. The taste was similar to wontons, and the skin was as thick as the ones from a street store. The meat filling inside had more flavor and was much more fragrant.
"Perhaps this is a bit of comfort in a foreign country. It would be better to have cooking dishes."
After eating a few, she started to eat the staple food based on the principle of not wasting it. The noodles were not delicious when they were cold. The buildings in the view of the window also lit up with yellow lights, scattered bit by bit in the darkness.
There was another knock on the door. Hermione got up and opened the door anxiously. What did this lady want to do with her? When she opened the door, she saw a woman with heavy makeup and some reflective splinters on her thick dark blond hair.
The clothes on his body were obviously put on in a hurry, and the coat was just pulled together by the hands, not buttoned up.
Her hand on the door knocked empty due to inertia, and her head turned back as she kept looking towards the aisle, her face flustered, and she quickly squeezed past Hermione and closed the door, leaving a smell of cosmetics in the air.
Hermione, who was still standing at the door, watched her quickly run into her bedroom, then hide in the bathroom, soaking in the bathtub with the sound of water running.
