He paid a gold coin in advance. Is it because I asked him to "pay on letter" last time?
Angel Suddenly felt her cheeks feel a little hot. She turned her back as if to cover up and read the letter carefully.
"It turns out that he rented in North Borough, not far from Saint Samuel Cathedral, but he cleverly separated two streets to avoid the tragic situation of bumping into acquaintances when he went out. For example, yesterday afternoon at the Prayer Hall met Leonard... but the poet was actually transferred to Backlund Diocese. Could it be that he joined 'Red Gloves' and became a 'flexible employee' without a fixed location?
"...I think of ways to create opportunities for 'accidental encounters' and 'acquaintances'. I think so too, but we lack the necessary connections and need to have people we know on both sides of our social circle. It seems that we need to visit the surrounding neighbors as soon as possible.
"Moon Mass during the full moon may be an opportunity. All believers of Goddess can participate, and I am very close to Saint Samuel Cathedral. Going there is a very reasonable choice..."
Angel looked at the letter, kept thinking, and quickly decided on the next action. She looked up and found that Reinette Tinekerr was still floating in the air, with no intention of leaving.
"Please bring him a message for me, saying that I will attend the high mass held at Saint Samuel Cathedral tomorrow evening."
With that said, Angel took out a thick Loen Gold Coin from his pocket and handed it to Messenger Miss, but the latter did not take it. The heads spoke in turn:
"That one..." "The puppet's..." "Beyonder Characteristic..." "Is it still there?"
Beyonder Characteristic? Of course it's still there, but after listening to your warning, I used various means to seal it up... Angel was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to answer, Reinette continued:
"I accept..." "Your last offer..." "I accept..."
The last head opened his mouth and realized that the sentence had ended. He was a little anxious and shook a little.
Angel asked in confirmation:
"Thirty thousand gold coins?"
The head quickly replied, "Yes."
The last time Angel quoted this price, Reinette's four pairs of eyes stared at her with cold eyes for a full minute, and then left quietly, leaving her with nightmares all night.
After several times when her wallet was bleeding, she had the idea of lowering the price, but she did not expect that Messenger Miss would take the initiative to buy Beyonder Characteristic at the original price.
It's only been two days, why has your attitude changed so much?
"Can I ask why?" she said cautiously.
This High Sequence Spirit World Creature showed a rare hesitation, his four heads wandered, and after a moment they refocused on Angel, and said in turn:
"Originally it was just..." "As bait..." "Now it has..." "More uses."
This answer, which was much longer than usual communication, took Angel a while to fully understand.
According to what Reinette said last time, there is a high probability that "Rose School" and the "Mother Tree of Desire" they admire can use some method to track down Beyonder Characteristic who belongs to their own members., and Reinette Tinekerr want to use this connection to set up a trap in reverse and solve several following cult members. Therefore, purchasing the "puppet" feature is only optional. If it is too expensive, they will naturally refuse.
But now, she has other uses for this characteristic, and it is more urgent, so she is willing to buy it at the original price.
It is not difficult to guess that this "purpose" is probably to promote a certain Sequence 5's "Wraith" to High Sequence.
Of course, the "original price" is still much lower than the price of Sequence 4's characteristics. According to Angel's guess, High Sequence's Beyonder Characteristic is worth forty or fifty thousand pounds, or even higher. However, this "puppet" comes from the followers of the evil god and is very hot. It is difficult to find a buyer willing to buy it at a high price, so it can only be sold at a discount.
At this time, seeing that Messenger Miss was willing to spend 30,000 gold coins to buy it, Angel no longer hesitated and nodded in reply:
"Okay, I can give it to you right now... but are you paying cash, or, um, in installments?"
She specifically mentioned installments because she considered that Spirit World Creature might not be able to immediately come up with 30,000 gold coins. Moreover, when the other party charged 10,000 gold coins last time to help her and Klein escape from Bayam, they also allowed them to pay in "interest-free installments."
"Pay first..." "Ten thousand pieces..." "The rest..." "Within one month."
As if worried that Angel would regret it, as soon as Reinette finished speaking, three of the four heads opened their mouths and spit out a burst of gray-white mist. In the mist, shining gold coins fell like a golden waterfall, colliding with each other and making a crisp and sweet sound.
Hua Hua——
Angel was dumbfounded as the carpet in front of her quickly piled up golden hills. At first, she was a little worried that the expensive carpet would be damaged, but soon her eyes and mind were filled with only the golden color.
Ding, the last gold coin fell, and Angel found that it looked familiar. It was a new coin that seemed to have just been sent from the mint, with no trace of use.
Like "Justice", one of those gold coins that Miss paid me a few days ago. There were 3,000 gold coins in the pile. Could it be the batch I paid for... The other two piles were roughly divided into 4,000 and 3,000 coins. The former had some traces of use, and the latter was printed with the portrait of Augustus I, as if it was a product hundreds of years ago.
It always felt like Messenger Miss's family fortune had been wiped out...Angel suddenly didn't dare to continue thinking about it. She quickly took out the "puppet" feature under heavy protection, and watched one of Reinette's heads swallow the palm-sized puppet. Her blood-red eyes softened a little.
Of course, these eight eyes scanned the pile of gold coins on the ground from time to time, making Angel a little worried that she would suck back the 10,000 gold coins in one gulp.
Fortunately, the headless messenger quickly disappeared and disappeared without a trace under Spirit Vision.
"Finally, I sold that share of Beyonder Characteristic. Although the psychological price had dropped to 25,000 gold coins before, I feel a little bit at a loss now. What kind of psychology is this?"
Angel murmured, looking worriedly at the gold coins in front of him that weighed nearly a hundred kilograms.
The Pasu Island between Sonia Island and the Rhoside Islands is shrouded in clouds and fog that persist all year round, as if heavy rain and thunder are about to fall at any time.
Alger Wilson walked out of Thunder Church, looked back at the towering spire of the church and the buttresses on both sides, and further away, the faintly visible Church of Storms headquarters "Storm Abyss" church hidden in the top of the mountain and among the clouds, and let out a long sigh of relief.
He finally completed this year's work report and successfully concealed the fact that he joined "Tarot Club", believed in Mr. "Fool", and was secretly promoted to "Wind-blessed". At least for a year, he no longer had to worry about how to hide his specialness.
Of course, there are many new worries. During the debriefing period, he was given a new task by "Mandated Punishers": getting close to "Admiral of Stars" and investigating "Ship Breaker" Angelica Zaki and "Mad Adventurer" Gehrman Sparrow who had recently caused trouble in Bayam. E, although the two are hostile to the evil sect "Rose School", it seems that there is another secret evil organization behind them, and they have a powerful Ghost Ship, one Angel, and multiple Demigod, which Church of Storms attaches great importance to.
The reason for giving him the task was simple: his ship had carried two people without their knowledge, and he even received a commission of several hundred pounds from the other party.
Fortunately, I didn't behave out of the ordinary. Otherwise, instead of assigning me a mission, I would be locked up underground and interrogated severely... Alger, with thoughts in his mind, but his expression did not change at all. He walked slowly through the square in front of the church and saluted a passing bishop:
"Storm is on top!"
The latter did not return the favor, but let out a surprised sigh, pulled down the hood of the robe embroidered with lightning patterns, revealed a head of soft yellow hair and shouted, "Alger?"
"Sainz? Are you back to report on your work too?"
Alger was also a little surprised. This was his old partner. The two worked together for a long time before obtaining "Blue Avenger", but later he chose to become the captain of Ghost Ship, drifting on the sea, away from the constraints of the church, while Sainz returned to the clergy system and became one of the bishops independent of Mandated Punishers, reviewing churches in various places.
Because of this specialness, their reporting time and frequency are not consistent with those of ordinary church members.
"Of course not. I'm here to report on the mission. There have been troubles in several parishes at Midway Island. I'm afraid it's related to the Berserk Sea's recent activity..."
Sainz muttered a few words and patted Alger on the shoulder to show friendship. The force was strong, which reflected his piety as Storm Believer.
The corner of the latter's mouth twitched, and he was about to reach out to retaliate, when he suddenly thought of the commission of "Empress" Miss, and calmly guided the topic:
"Midway Island? There are all passengers passing by, what could happen?"
The yellow-haired bishop looked a little worried. "Para Island, Sona Island, strange things happen. Hehe, I will report it first, and I will talk to you when I have a chance."
Sure enough, there was Sona Island...Alger knew that it would be easy to expose his intentions if he continued to chat actively, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, my ship will stay for another day. Let's get together tonight?"
"Okay." Sainz smiled, not suspicious.
On Saturday evening, Angel rode a relatively low-key two-wheeled carriage from Hillston Borough to North Borough, preparing to participate in Moon Mass of Saint Samuel Cathedral.
She was only accompanied by her personal maid Aisha. The two men Female Butler were busy at home. Keira was still working hard to fill her wardrobe and wine cellar. Ribak has to visit all the neighbors on the street, hand over business cards and gifts, and compile a list of those who intend to invite Angel as guests, so that Angel can visit them one by one.
They are all Backlund well-known professors, Lawyer, doctors and other professional and technical personnel. Although they are not as widely connected as the nobles, they are often connected with certain big shots. Through them, Angel can come into contact with the city's upper-class social circles, so the investment of money and time is necessary.
With various Noble Etiquette and social rules constantly flashing through his mind, Angel got off the carriage and left the carriage on the edge of the square. He and Aisha walked through the somewhat lively square and entered the church that was gradually enveloped by Evernight.
While waiting for the mass to begin outside the Prayer Hall, she met Dr. Aaron and his wife, several of Burningham Road's neighbors that she had visited in the past two days, and of course, she also saw Dwayne Dantès, who was wearing formal clothes, holding a cane between his legs, and a solemn face.
The latter also looked over, his eyes lingering on the plain black dress Angel deliberately wore for a moment, then returned to her face, showing a surprised but polite expression.
This is "Faceless"... Angel chuckled secretly, and her eyes stayed on the other party for a moment, making other believers who paid attention to her notice this.
As Great Prayer Hall's door opened, the two stopped acting, mixed in with the crowd, entered under the guidance of Pastor, and found their seats in the darkness.
The choir in front of the altar sang ancient songs under the command of Bishop Electra, who presided over the high mass today. Angel's somewhat restless heart gradually calmed down in the neat and ethereal chanting.
Only then did she notice that there were several people sitting on the benches on the other side of the aisle who had been sitting before the Mass. They were all wearing church robes and did not seem to belong to ordinary believers.
"Nighthawks", a priest from another diocese, or some "related households"?
Angel was thinking, feeling the doubtful gazes of her and other believers. One of them slowly turned his head, his face under the hood hidden in the darkness. Only a searching line of sight quickly swept across the crowd, and then looked back at the altar, immersed in the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
But with the help of Dark Vision, Angel could see the other person's face clearly without any hindrance. At this moment, she seemed to be soaked by the atmosphere in the Prayer Hall, and her whole body was as cold as if she was falling into the abyss.
In Moon Mass, which held events for the dead and helped them sleep in the country of Goddess, she met Pierce Turner, a senior deacon who had long since died in Para Island and failed to be promoted.
