"But why doesn't she even know the seventh-level magic?"
"Isn't she a genius magical girl?"
When the old bishop heard Gallo's question, he was not surprised. He quickly took out the manuscript he had already typed and replied:
"This is the shortcoming of those big sects. There are too many rules, too many restrictions, too rigid..."
"It turns out that what she said before is true. You must have a corresponding position to learn the corresponding magic..."
"Our sect is better. The goddess doesn't talk about these red tapes. Even an ordinary priest like me can learn seventh-level magic!"
Actually... he's not an ordinary priest...
The old bishop cursed in his heart, and then heard Gallo ask again:
"If you say that, then wouldn't I be quite powerful now?"
The old bishop thought for a while, nodded, and gave him a rare compliment:
"After all, you have worked hard for so many years, and with the blessing of the goddess, you will naturally achieve something."
Before Gallo could be happy, he heard the old bishop continue:
"But it's just a bit more powerful than ordinary people..."
"You have to know that there are many people in this world, and there are also many alien races. Many of them are more talented than you and work harder than you, not to mention those powerful beings and gods in the sky..."
"You must not be complacent just because of a small achievement, and do not follow in the footsteps of your senior brother. Only by always keeping the teachings in mind can you achieve true glory."
"Yes, I will keep it in mind."
Gallo replied very seriously, while also thinking in his mind:
Sure enough, although my talent is poor, my hard work always pays off!
In the past, I couldn't get a hardware job for a month, nor could I meet a customer who offered hardware in one go...
I have worked hard and become stronger, which feels so good!
I have to keep working hard in the future!
With such a sense of satisfaction, he continued to devote himself to the practice of divine arts after eating.
For the remaining half of the day, he lived as peacefully as usual. He originally thought that Undine would come to him because of what happened last night, but it turned out not to be the case.
Maybe the Shenguang Cult intervened? I don’t have a chance to play...
Although I earned 10 less silver coins, I saved a lot of trouble, which is good.
In this way, Gallo spent a very satisfying day.
Early the next morning, shortly after he got up, he saw the old bishop handing him a newspaper.
It turned out that just when he was alone with the beautiful girl yesterday, several murder cases suddenly broke out in the Innocence City.
The victims were all low-level officials like the tax collector, from the fire department, the security force, and even the city defense army, etc., and each case had traces of a cult, and could be considered an organized and premeditated large-scale criminal activity.
This major case immediately covered up all the past cases, arousing the great attention of the city lord and the vigilance of the three orthodox religions.
"Wow, this is so crazy. These cultists are really crazy!"
Gallo couldn't help but sigh.
The old bishop thought for a while and replied:
"Maybe it's because you killed an apostle, which caused their overreaction?"
"Is it my fault?"
Gallo asked innocently.
When the two were about to talk about this matter, Lieutenant Undine suddenly came to the door.
Compared to her previous capable look, Undine looked very tired today. It was still early in the morning, but she seemed very lack of energy and kept yawning.
Upon seeing this, Gallo first poured her a cup of tea, and the old bishop used two healing spells to refresh her mind and replenish her stamina.
Undine was shocked and felt much better immediately.
"Thanks..."
"Have you read the newspapers? From the early hours of yesterday to the early hours of this morning, several murder cases broke out in the city. I was almost crazy with my work..."
"Thank you for your hard work for the safety of the city. I hope the murderer can be found soon, and we will try our best to assist you..."
The old bishop first complimented him, and then went to the backyard to feed the cat, leaving the space for conversation to the two young men.
"I came to see you today mainly for two things. First, a routine inquiry. Did you report a cult activity to the Shenguang Sect yesterday?"
Gallo nodded.
Undine asked a few more questions, and he answered them all.
Undine finally asked: "Where is the believer who reported to you? Where is he?"
"He is a traveling businessman who has been wandering around various cities. I don't know his specific whereabouts. I only know that his name is Jack."
Undine couldn't help but roll her eyes. With such a name and such a profession, it was basically impossible to find someone.
She didn't delve into this issue and asked another question:
"Why did you report this to the Shenguang Sect? Instead of coming to us?"
"This is because a special guest happened to be visiting yesterday..."
Gallo then briefly told Undine about Misseran's visit yesterday, but he did not mention that she donated 5 gold coins and the subsequent discussion of magical arts. He only said that she came to take a look.
As a result, this made Undine even more suspicious...
"She didn't do anything? She just came here to take a look?"
"What do you have here for her to see?"
Gallo didn't answer, he just raised his chest and raised his head, then raised his hand and pressed the tiger's mouth against his chin, probably wanting to express, 'She just came to see me.'
"I didn't know you were so pretty before..."
"Is she here to discuss magic with you?"
Undine asked a little funny.
"Eh? You can guess this too?"
Gallo asked in surprise.
Undine shrugged and replied:
"What's so hard to guess? She is also a celebrity in our innocent city. It is said that except for magical arts, there is nothing that can arouse her interest..."
"And during your last interview, she was probably also interested in your magical skills, so she stopped you, right?"
As expected of Lieutenant Undine, he is really smart and guessed it so easily...
But...
Gallo cursed in his heart, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Undine's uneven, convex and curved curves, and then he recalled Misselan's ordinary figure.
Isn’t it said that people with big breasts have no brains? Why is Lieutenant Undine smarter than Bishop Mitherland?
Before he could figure out this complicated problem, Undine urged:
"Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. The routine questioning is over. Now it's time to get down to business."
"Pastor Gallo, I hope you can assist us in the investigation of the case and related aftermath."
"Huh? You still need me? Didn't the Shenguang Sect send someone there?"
Gallo asked a little strangely, but he didn't expect that he would still have the opportunity to earn those 10 silver coins.
"Pai sent him, but he didn't seem very reliable, so he came to find you anyway. Moreover, this matter seems to be related to the Skull Crusher..."
