"Father, when can we go back? Our family is all good people. I think there must be something wrong with Fisher and the others. People in the city always say that their factories exploit workers!"
Mrs. Bennet said and walked towards the door, and even took the initiative to help Meghan unload the things from the dining car.
Shade still used the same rhetoric:
"The investigation will yield results soon, and the church will not wrongly accuse any good person."
Mr. Bennet said very worriedly:
"Father, my wife's health has not been very good recently. If it is convenient, can you call a doctor to check her out later?"
"What's wrong with her?"
"I'm fine!"
The woman who seemed to be afraid of getting into trouble immediately said that although Mrs. Bennet was already showing her old appearance in middle age, it could still be seen that she was definitely good-looking when she was young. She then called her youngest son to help carry the things.
When Megan saw the boy approaching, she immediately stood behind Shade and stopped doing anything.
"Father, don't listen to Thomas' nonsense. This is an old habit of mine. Can you help me ask when we can go back? You can ask whatever you want and check whatever you want. Our family really does.
What a good person."
Of course, Shade couldn't make them leave immediately, but he promised Mrs. Bennet to ask her questions later.
As for Thomas Bennet, the "masked man" whose identity had been confirmed by Shade, he calmly persuaded his wife that the church would definitely let them go after the investigation.
It’s just that Thomas Bennet has always asked the church to hire a doctor to treat his wife. He is very persistent in this, but in the eyes of Shade and Megan, Mrs. Bennet does not seem to have any serious illness.
However, this was also a point of doubt, so Shade actually went to the church to find someone to hire a doctor for Mrs. Bennet. After carefully examining the uneasy woman's body, the doctor also believed that in addition to chronic pneumonia and some mental stress, the doctor
, and it’s not a big problem.
Thomas Bennet thanked the doctor, but everyone could see that he was still worried about his wife.
The time spent at Dawn Church was longer than originally planned, but Shade found nothing new in the end. Although the purpose of the trip was completed, he and Megan still went to see Koch, who was being quarantined and examined in the Church of the Sun.
One family.
Shade originally thought that Iluna would show up, but the eighteen-year-old girl did not show up at all.
As for the Koch family, they are a standard family of three, Mr. and Mrs. Koch, and their sixteen-year-old youngest son.
Mr. Koch is younger than Mr. Bennet and Baron Fisher, but his local reputation is no less than that of that baron. As the vice-president of the Lumberjacks Association, he controls the affairs of many local families.
Job. Even now that Ximu Town has changed so much, the Lumberjacks Association is still the largest local guild.
Just now, the girl from the Fisher family said that the Koch family also had problems, so Shade also wanted to see if this family was related to something strange. On the way to the third church, Shade also
I made a guess with Megan and Audrey, but none of them got it right.
The youngest son of the Koch family and Mrs. Koch were fine, but when Shade saw Mr. Koch, he discovered that his heart was beating abnormally.
Shade has the ability to sense the heartbeat of the "Heart of Stone". The "Heart of Stone" can indeed hear the heartbeat of the other party, but the heartbeat is different from that of normal people, such as Shade himself, Megan, and Mrs. Koch.
Not quite the same.
Shade couldn't tell what the specific difference was, but he was sure that the other party had a serious heart problem.
The family should have undergone a physical examination when they entered the church. Shade then asked the ring warlock from the Church of the Sun who brought him and Megan here about the family's physical examination, and received a completely fine answer.
"But is it really okay?"
It’s just that since the other party has no time curse and no response from the Paradox Bug in his soul, it should have nothing to do with what Shade wants to investigate. So Shade did not expose Mr. Koch face to face, but told the Church of the Sun about the matter.
They can solve it themselves.
So the night's running was over, and by the time we returned to the Radiant Messenger, it was already eleven o'clock on Wednesday night.
Miss Edwards did not return to her room to rest, but followed Shade to his room. In the room, the duchess was already waiting in her specially selected pajamas:
"Why are you so slow?"
The red-haired witch put down the book in her hand and asked dissatisfiedly. This dissatisfaction was mainly directed at the two sisters holding hands:
"You couldn't have eaten outside, right? We agreed that we would share the snacks tonight."
After saying that, she opened her arms and hugged Shade, but then sniffed him again, but found no sign that the snacks had been stolen.
"I don't really like it when you call me little snack."
Shade protested, and then kissed the suspicious duchess on the forehead, while Megan and Audrey immediately fought back:
"Carina, we are not people who like to steal food. We are not like you, who were the first to take action against Shade, but have been hiding it from everyone."
But this is a compliment to Carina Cavendish, who has always regarded it as an honor:
"Okay, okay, let's go wash up first. Tonight has just begun. But what did you find out? You won't waste the first half of this precious night and get nothing in the end, right?"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to help Xia De take off his coat. Seeing Xia De looking around, he explained:
"Little Mia was taken away by Tifa. I knew you would look for the cat as soon as you came back."
"We found traces of the messenger of desire, or the other party was actively exposed."
Megan said, turned around, closed the door and tightened the curtains, and then also changed clothes next to Shade. Their pajamas had been sent by Tifa in advance.
"The Messenger of Desire? Like the Countess Darmanin from Moon Bay whom Shade mentioned? How come Shade is related to that unknowable relic again?"
Carina actually didn't care very much. When Megan and Audrey were telling what happened tonight, she took off Shade's shirt a little impatiently and plunged into his huai:
"I like this sense of security. Let me say that desire is a part of us mortals. It goes against the laws of nature to completely abandon desire. As for desire, Shade can actually try to accept part of it, as long as
Remember to control yourself, even the power of desire can help us.
Megan is right, if that girl can really help us deal with Bennet, why not use it?"
But it was obvious that she couldn't control herself now. She had been waiting in this room for a long time before Shade and the sisters came back.
The witches didn't bring out any more goblets tonight, but the enthusiastic ladies still made the stranger's night quite fulfilling. Although this also caused him to have some insufficient sleep time, if it was for the essence bottle
It is actually worth sacrificing some sleep time in order to maintain the reserve in your body.
"What's going on in the past two days? Why is it that someone always doesn't get up during breakfast?"
Early Thursday morning when everyone was having dinner, Xiwei expressed his dissatisfaction to Shade:
"Eating breakfast together is a symbol of promoting relationships and deepening unity. Besides, our breakfast time is from 7:30 to 8 o'clock in the morning. This shouldn't be too early, right? Are Carina and Meghan so lazy?"
So Shade cast a look of help at Luvia, but the fortune teller smiled and ignored her. He looked at Vanessa again, but the little witch pretended to be chatting with Sirius but did not speak.
Finally, the blue-eyed boat girl spoke:
"Shadow and Miss Edwards came back very late last night. She didn't return to her room until dawn today. She was probably too busy. There was no need to leave breakfast for her. She had a midnight snack before returning to the room.
And he looks very full.”
So Xiwei thought that the Twin Witches had done other work last night:
"Then what happened to Carina?"
This time Dorothy came to the rescue. She patted Agelina's leg next to her, so the little princess lied honestly:
"I asked Aunt Carina a question last night, but she came back very late."
The expressions of the people around the breakfast table varied. There were actually many people who knew the truth, but some were just doubtful. If everyone's thoughts and feelings were written down at this moment, it would probably be more complicated than a palace political novel.
Miss Olanode was observing everyone's expressions, and the ancient witch made a very interesting guess. Especially when she saw Shade lowering his head and not intending to let anyone see his eyes, she felt that she had guessed correctly.
Got:
"Not all witches in this era seem to be so reserved."
But fortunately, Shade soon didn't have to worry about it anymore, because when he was telling everyone what he had learned from last night's outing, Miss Bell sent him key information about the city:
"Mr. Koch is from the [Truth Society]!"
Last night, Shade discovered that the man's heartbeat sound was abnormal, and of course the Sun Church would not doubt the discovery of the "God Caller".
Therefore, after Shade and Megan left, the church arranged for the family to undergo another physical examination. At that time, Mr. Koch, who sensed something was wrong, wanted to escape, and then started a fight with the church's ring warlock on the spot.
Mr. Koch is just an ordinary person, and even if he is a ring magician, there is no way he can defeat the Sun Church team in a venue like a church.
The clergy eliminated him neatly, but when people wanted to carefully check what was wrong with his heart, the silver mechanical metal heart flew out of his chest, then expanded and exploded in place.
To be more precise, it was about to explode, but was stopped.
