225. More cautious than me?

Undine looked at Gallo, who was getting better and better, even better than she imagined and expected, and a strange and absurd thought suddenly came to her mind:

Anyway, Gallo is now more powerful than the Skull Crusher, should we put him in a dark room?

Then use force to force him to submit...

Of course, Gallo is very powerful here now, so he might accidentally be countered by him.

Then it’s up to you to pick...

Anyway, as long as you have a baby and get married immediately, neither the beautiful girl heroine nor the beautiful girl dean will be able to steal Gallo...

Her idea was indeed ridiculous, and even she realized it quickly. She quickly covered her blushing face with both hands, shook her head, and quickly threw this excessive idea out of her head.

"Captain, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Would you like some hot water?"

Seeing that her reaction was a little strange, Gallo quickly asked with concern.

Seeing Gallo's reaction, Undine suddenly felt very guilty.

Ugh... Jialuo obviously cares about me so much, but I have evil thoughts about him...

I'm such a bad woman who doesn't know how to behave!

She blamed herself in her heart, but she quickly defended herself:

"No...it's nothing. I'm fine. I'm definitely not thinking about anything weird!"

Gallo still trusted her and did not ask further questions. Instead, he mentioned what happened yesterday:

"By the way, did you catch the gangsters alive yesterday? Why did they attack Ms. Carolla's mansion?"

"We were caught alive, but it was probably just an accident. No one behind the scenes was found."

Undine quickly replied.

Gallo held his chin, thought for a moment, and then continued to ask:

"So what about the plate armor and crossbows on those gangsters? These are not something ordinary people can get, right?"

Undine then gave him a detailed explanation of the case:

"Those three people were shot dead on the spot. The city guards confirmed the bodies. They were deserters from the last time the evil god invaded, when the half-body angel appeared to repel the evil god."

"After they became deserters, they fled in fear of crime and have been hiding in a small village in the countryside. The city guard did not have enough manpower to search them one by one, so they have been hiding until now."

"Afterwards, they teamed up with the refugees in this incident and planned the kidnapping case. These were all confessed by the gangsters themselves."

Judging from her description, this case was indeed an accident. Three deserters led a few refugees into the city to rob, and they just happened to target Mrs. Carola, who had just arrived.

Logically there is nothing wrong with it.

But Gallo felt it was still a little strange...

It takes a lot of courage to dare to enter the city and rob instead of blocking the road. Only a real outlaw has such courage.

If you are so brave, why did you become a deserter before?

But Gallo was only slightly doubtful.

After all, there are so many possibilities for this kind of thing. For example, the evil god is far more terrifying than the laws of the empire, or they are afraid of poverty during this period, or they live in the countryside and don’t know the situation in the city, thinking that the city is very dangerous.

There are opportunities to take advantage of chaos.

Anyway, it is indeed a bit suspicious, but it is not worthy of further investigation, and there is no way to investigate further. Everyone is dead and all clues are lost.

Even if there is really some conspiracy against Ms. Carolla later, as long as you set up the barrier, nothing can threaten her.

Gallo figured out the logic quickly.

When it comes to important matters like this that involve human life and fate, his thinking is always very clear, which is very different from the thinking mode in daily life.

So even though he sometimes thinks very differently, he never loses focus at critical moments. This is also the source of confidence that he always feels that he is very smart.

"Ah, by the way, there is one more question..."

Gallo asked again:

"Did the team from the Supreme True God Religion pass by there by chance?"

Undine shook her head and explained:

"No, they are hired by Mrs. Carola and are responsible for the safety of her daily travels."

"Speaking of this, when they knew that you would set up a barrier behind to protect the safety of Mrs. Carola's residence, they expressed that they were very relieved and honored. They trust your level very much and think that this will help them reduce a lot of workload.

.”

After hearing this, Gallo frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice:

"Do we need so many people?"

To be honest, he felt that Mrs. Carola was a little too cautious, even more cautious than himself.

I just like to put protective magic on my body. At least I don’t have a lot of bodyguards with me, right?

And this lady pursues all-round protection from travel to accommodation, and even pays a high price for it...

You must know that the Innocence City is the city with the best security in the empire. This is the first time Gallo has encountered such a cautious approach.

But judging from the results, her choice seems to be the right one?

I always feel like this lady is hiding something...

An unreasonable association occurred in Gallo's mind.

It’s not that she suspects that Mrs. Carola is a bad person, a cultist or something. If that’s the case, how could she dare to seek asylum from the Orthodox Church? Wouldn’t that be throwing herself into a trap?

Gallo was just worried that she might have gotten into trouble with some evil force or received death threats.

If this is the case, will your own sect be implicated?

If unfortunately he is implicated, wouldn't he be in danger?

And not only himself, but also the old bishop, the little cat, and the girls around him may be in danger.

This is so bad, it makes people shudder just thinking about it!

If that's the case, there's only...

Uproot the evil forces to prevent future troubles.

Next time you meet Mrs. Carola, please ask her carefully...

Gallo had this idea for the time being.

And just when he was planning this, Mrs. Carola's carriage happened to stop at the door of the church.

She stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maid, followed by the team from the Supreme True God Cult, and walked into the Mia Cathedral together.

"Wow! Pastor Gallo...oh no, it's Bishop Gallo. Your new church is so beautiful!"

The leading paladin greeted Gallo very warmly, looked around again, and asked a little strangely:

"Huh? Why are you the only one in such a big church?"

Gallo suddenly felt a little confused. There was really nothing he could do to deal with this group of pagan fans...

However, this group of people knew the rules very well. After a brief visit, they went to line up in front of the offering box.

Gallo's expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

No wonder he likes to deal with people from big sects. Look, how sensible he is.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two parties found a chair in the church and sat down. Undine played the role of a nun as a believer, serving tea and water before finally sitting back next to Gallo.

Seeing this, the talkative squad leader gave another thumbs up and complimented:

"As expected of Bishop Gallo, there are different girls around him every day..."

"Isn't it? Beauty is only worthy of the strong!"

"Bishop Nagalo, should you consider the girls in our sect? They are also very well-behaved and admire you very much..."

Can you show some dignity and reserve of a big sect?

Gallo couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

In the end, Mrs. Carola noticed Gallo's embarrassment and quickly mentioned the reason for her trip.

She came mainly to thank Gallo for his help yesterday, and stuffed five hundred gold coins into the offering box. This was actually the reward for yesterday's help, but it was given in the form of a donation.

It can only be said that Mrs. Carola is really rich, and she is indeed a rich man who has reached the top of the building materials industry.

However, this money was somewhat of a spur and urging, because Mrs. Carola then asked about the progress of the barrier.

It was obvious that she was very uneasy.

Gallo thought for a while and asked directly:

"Madam, have you been threatened in any way?"

Hearing his question, the expressions of everyone present couldn't help but become a little more solemn.

"I didn't want you to get involved in this kind of thing..."

Mrs. Carola said helplessly, then turned to wink at the maid beside her.

The maid quickly walked up to Gallo and handed him a box from her arms.

Gallo opened the box and saw several letters stained with blood.

The letter was stained with blood, which meant that the contents inside were death threats.

Gallo picked up one at random and read it.

The letter asked Mrs. Carola to commit suicide within three months, otherwise they would help her.

There is no signature at the end.

In the second letter, Mrs. Carola was asked to disperse her family wealth and kill her only son with her own hands...

Still no signature.

Gallo then read a few more letters and found that these letters made some weird requests that others could not accept. There were no actual specific conditions. Anyway, they just wanted Mrs. Carola to die.

Strictly speaking, this should be considered a threatening letter, and the threatening effect is actually not very strong. Many people may regard it as a boring prank.

"At first I thought it was a prank by my competitor who wanted to distract me, but then I found out that things were not that simple. The other party seemed to be serious?"

Mrs. Carola went on to describe some of her recent experiences.

She has been attacked several times in the past month, including yesterday's attack, a total of ten times!

If she hadn't always paid attention to safety, she might have died long ago...

These attacks were very similar to yesterday's. At first glance, they all seemed accidental. No more clues or masterminds could be found. It seemed as if Mrs. Carola had bad luck and was affected and implicated.

But this kind of thing happens one after another, which is obviously organized and premeditated.

But there are really no more clues to be found, which makes the Sheriff in the City of Plenty very worried.

So Mrs. Carola chose this time to enter the City of Innocence. The main purpose was not to grab the market, but more to escape...

No wonder she is so cautious and spends a lot of money to protect herself.
