Mystic Holy See

v1 Chapter 18: Malik

Aldridge told Rita about the magic change. The content after the magic change was completely changed. He told the truth about the content before tonight, but tonight's matter turned into what he told Sturt. After Mr. Lelling wrote the letter, he first came to the villa to hide, and unexpectedly saw Uriel Strelin appearing in the villa, and summoned the black door under the big tree. After hesitating, he walked in, saw the dead Uriel and the weird altar, and immediately ran to the forest bar.

Rita was silent for a while, her face finally lost her smile, she left "you wait a minute" and hurried out the door, only to come back five minutes later.

"I have arranged for the church personnel to deal with it," Rita said briefly, then came to Aldridge, looked him in the eyes, and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Aldrich, other than that Are you hiding something?"

Aldridge was stared unnaturally, but he was not flustered, and he replied in accordance with the language he had organized on the way: "I admit that I took some items, but the mother is above, I deserve it I know very well that the Church allows us to reap our spoils."

He knew better that if he didn't take anything, it would be suspicious.

Rita said without hesitation: "Of course, this is your freedom, but I believe you also know that this matter involves the evil god! I hope to get your honesty!"

"I'm a follower of the Mother Goddess!" Aldridge frowned and glared at Rita without evading his eyes, "I'm a firm and devout follower of the Mother Goddess! I said everything I knew, and I took All that's left is Kinnar and weapons!"

Rita stared at him silently for a while, and finally said, "Mother is above."

Aldridge watched Rita walk back to her seat and added another fire: "I just became a Beyonder, and I just wanted to accept a commission to investigate the 'mystery'."

Of course Rita understood what he meant, and said indifferently, "This is the church's work mistake, and you will get what you deserve."

Aldridge nodded and said no more.

This sentence is very risky. It is very likely to offend the church, but there is no benefit to being silent. If you don’t say anything, the church will treat you as a good friend?

Ah! Just like Uriel, who claims to be a believer of the Earth Goddess, is a believer of the Heretic God, the Church of the Earth Goddess also has limited trust in people outside the church.

Who can guarantee that there will be no next time? Expect the church to treat them like treasures and be cautious about their assignments?

Aldridge has learned a lot after going through this time, but the most important thing is that he should not trust the church easily.

Rita saw off the guest politely, and Aldridge naturally left the room and came to the bar.

"Mills, give me a glass of glamour night." He beckoned and said, maybe it was the influence of a previous life movie, he felt that Mills, who was a bartender at the bar, was much easier to get along with than Rita.

Mills raised his eyebrows and said, "You will like her."

After completing the work at hand, he quickly prepared a glass of magnificent purple wine, poured it into a glass similar to a tall wine glass, pushed it in front of him, and said naturally: "It seems that the business has been completed well. ?"

In the dazzling bar, Mills is undoubtedly careful with his words.

"On the contrary, it's terrible. Fortunately, the reward is in hand."

Aldrich curled his lips, then raised his glass, shook the glass in the manner of drinking red wine, smelled it, and then tasted it with a small mouth. .

"Excellent!" Aldridge sincerely praised, this glass of wine satisfied him more than the food he had eaten these days.

Mills said with a smile, "This is a sobering drink that can make the night more energetic."

"Energetic, haha, is this the charm of the night?"

"Of course."

Aldridge and Mills laughed tacitly, common sense among men.

He reaffirmed that Mills was more comfortable than other church personnel.

At this time, a drunk young man staggered to the bar with an empty wine bottle, and muttered, "Another bottle of halimea..."

Mills shook his head helplessly, and without saying anything, took a bottle of orange-yellow Harimea from the wine cabinet and gave it to him.

The young man took the drink and left. It seemed that Mills was more familiar with him. Mills didn't mention Yinnar.

"This guy is in the same business as you." Mills finally had no wine to mix, so he picked up the glass and wiped it while chatting with Aldridge.

Aldridge nodded knowingly, leaving an impression in his heart.

Mills continued: "His name is Sunderland Yasuo. People here like to call him 'Black Cat'. Maybe you will meet in the future."

'Black cat', this is a very representative name... A sentence from the previous life still applies here: only the wrong name is given, but there will never be a wrong nickname.

"He's a great businessman?" Aldridge took a sip of his wine.

"It's up to you to judge for yourself."

Aldridge raised his eyebrows, realizing that Mills meant that he would not reveal too much information about others to him.

Mills put down the cleaned glass, picked up the next one, and said casually: "Business will encounter bottlenecks if it reaches a certain level. If there is no external help, it is easy to stop, but there are not many people with good luck. of."

The translation is that the rank of Beyonders cannot be improved, and they need the help of potions, but how many people can get potion formulas that may or may not exist?

Sunderland Yasuo should be like this, so he looks a little decadent.

But I didn't feel much pressure... Aldridge answered him in his heart, although he still didn't understand what happened to his golden finger.

Of course, he said very hypocritically: "Indeed, business is difficult to do."

After drinking a glass of wine, Aldridge was also a little tired, so he said goodbye to Mills and left the bar, ready to go home and have a good sleep.

Strelling House, underground space.

The expressionless Malik Thatcher was standing on the altar, his blue eyes with golden glasses carefully scanning every inch of the pattern on the altar.

He is wearing a white-based robe with green matching and gold trim, and the copper-edged 'Tree of Life' badge on his chest indicates his official status as a priest.

Malik's fingertips slid across the stone platform in the center of the altar, his eyes stayed on the black porcelain bottle placed in the center of the stone platform, and he remained silent.

In addition to Malik, there are four other people in this space, three men and one woman. They are also wearing divine robes, but they are not trimmed with gold, and the badges on their chests are also surrounded by black iron, indicating that their current positions are deacons.

"team leader."

At this moment, a handsome and calm young man walked behind Malik and shouted respectfully.

In appearance, he is quite similar to Johnny Rodriguez, but he is undoubtedly much more handsome. He is also Johnny's brother, Claude Rodriguez, a priest apprentice. .

"Yeah." Malik just gave a cold response from his nose.

Claude was familiar with his captain's style, and said succinctly: "After the investigation, it is confirmed that Uriel Strelling died of the Black Mamba poison, but there is no shadow of the Black Mamba, and the floor of the tunnel has been spent Hernand's reagent has been tested, and there is no trace of snakes crawling, and it is preliminarily judged that the black mamba was taken away."

If Aldridge heard this sentence, he would undoubtedly laugh bitterly. In order to make the church think that he did not take the Black Mamba, he deliberately put the snake bottle back quietly. Who knows, it is all useless. Chi knew nothing about the power of the church.

Malik's expression did not change at all, and he said in a flat tone, "Aldrich Alfred?"

Claude hesitated for two seconds, struggled slightly in his heart, and finally nodded, "Yes."

Malik turned around and said, "A believer of the Mother Goddess, you and your brother's friend have no previous convictions. The Black Mamba is his deserved trophy. I don't intend to pursue any trivial matters."

For Malik, a known 'mystery' is not worth caring about, even a 'family mystery'.

Of course, this is in the absence of an accident.

Claude took a slow breath behind him, his heart tensed when Malik told him the information, but then he breathed a sigh of relief, silently thanking the captain for giving him some face.

Malik added: "Inform Priest Rita at the Forest Bar, put him on the list, and focus on it."

If you don't care about yourself, just let others care. This is Malik's way of doing things.

"…"

Claude felt that he was thinking too much...
