Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 54 The Nun's Compensation

Altaïr turned around awkwardly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and began to put on the cotton robe that Sister Vespa had prepared for him.Although these were supposed to be daily clothes for the patients treated in the church, Sister Vesper obviously washed them very carefully, leaving no stains.

The two quickly changed their clothes, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.However, Altaïr quickly used his ability to successfully resolve the embarrassment between the two, and the instigator's ability is quite convenient for this kind of thing.

Altaïr and the two walked through the narrow corridor to the above-ground part of the church.Sister Vespa was waiting there, her eyes were a little bloodshot, she seemed to have stayed up all night because she was eager to understand the situation of God of War.

"Good morning...it should be morning, right?" Altaïr greeted Sister Vespa.

"As a matter of fact, it's two o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday."

Sister Vespa's voice was a little trembling. Although she had tried her best to restrain her emotions, when she was about to face the result, she was still terrified.

Altaïr and the two looked at each other, Venata took a step forward, and said: "We have indeed confirmed the situation of the God of War this time...but it may be much more complicated than you imagined, let's talk slowly."

……

It took about 15 minutes for Altaïr and Venata to fully tell Sister Vesper what happened in the Twilight Land.

When Sister Vesper heard the news, she didn't cry out excitedly, nor did she run around frantically.

She quietly walked to the stained glass window of the Church of the Mother God, and stood quietly under the rare sunlight in Backlund. The dust in the air fell disorderly in the falling light and floated on her body.

Her hands were clasped firmly in front of her chest, forming a common posture for praying in the Church of God of War, but she did not open her mouth to pray.She stood quietly in front of the window, tears flowing wantonly, endlessly, as if she wanted to drain all the moisture in her body.

Venata and Altaïr did not stop them. They sat quietly on the benches provided by the Church of the Mother Earth, waiting for Sister Vesper to stabilize. Only the brass clock remained in the huge prayer hall. There was a rattling sound.

After about 10 minutes, Sister Vesper walked in front of the two of them.Her face seemed haggard all of a sudden in just a few minutes, as if she had suddenly suffered a serious illness, but her eyes regained their radiance, like the never-ending orange light in the Kingdom of Twilight .

"Thank you for bringing me His news...it's really, really important to me."

Sister Vespa solemnly gave Altaïr a deep salute.

"Mr. Altaïr, I will get your reward right now."

After finishing speaking, she hurried back to the storage room, and then came up with a square wooden box.

There seems to be too much cash in this box... Altaïr was a little puzzled at first, but then he understood, and his expression was a little excited.

"Could it be that……"

"That's right." Sister Vesper said with a smile on her face, "I thought I didn't have the Extraordinary materials you needed in my inventory, but when I was sorting out the inventory these two days, I found a The seized candlestick, this thing was embedded in it as a huge gem."

After speaking, she put the wooden box on the table and opened the lid.

A crystal clear and warm emerald green bird egg was lying quietly in the box, emitting a soft green light.The egg was the size of a palm and had dark green markings on its surface.

"This is the agate peacock egg you need, please confirm it. Although this extraordinary material has a longer validity period than normal extraordinary materials because of its special eggshell, it is something I captured in my early battles after all. Little chance of failure."

Sister Vespa enjoined.

Altaïr nodded, took off the citrine pendant from his cuff, placed it on top of the bird egg, and silently recited the divination sentence seven times in his heart, and finally got a no-question answer.

"Then, I should make up the price difference of about five hundred pounds. After all, this is a rare material on the market."

As soon as Altaïr was about to speak, Sister Vespa quickly waved her hand and refused: "It doesn't matter, you and Venata brought me the news that Lord God of War did not really abandon us, and this matter is far more valuable to me. It's far more than 1500 pounds... Please don't evade any more, or I will have a bad conscience."

But if things go on like this, the one with uneasy conscience will become me...I didn't expect that I would still have uneasy conscience after becoming an "instigator". The acting really failed.Altaïr gave a dry laugh, tapped his chest four times, and performed the etiquette of the Goddess Church.

"Your piety shames me."

……

Afterwards, the two of them took their belongings and left the Harvest Church, leaving Sister Vespa to enjoy the happy news.

The two walked side by side on the sidewalk made of blue bricks on the side of Rose Flower Street.Although this place is called Rose Street, the planting of roses here has already been a thing in the Northwest District.This street is also one of the few streets in Backlund that have been used for hundreds of years.

Along the way, Altaïr was a little absent-minded.Even though one of his witch potion master ingredients is already in his possession, and the other can be exchanged for by going to Gagaran, he is sure to be able to successfully complete the promotion before the new year of 1364 arrives.But he was still a little unhappy at this moment. Sister Vespa's anxious expression and relieved state made him unable to help but think about a question:
If it was the goddess who lost in that battle of gods, would he completely lose his spiritual sustenance like Sister Vespa?
The answer is obviously no.

Altaïr looked at Venata beside him, she didn't notice Altaïr's sneaky gaze, she still walked on the road by herself, humming a folk song in Feysac.

Compared with them devout guys, I seem to lack something.Altaïr couldn't describe this difference carefully, and scratched his hair a little annoyed.

But soon he was relieved.Even the gods may fall, and spiritual sustenance is not so reliable.That being the case, there is no need to make trouble for yourself.Rather than worrying about the spring and autumn here, it is better to think about how to make up for the loss of the pile of weapons I brought with me.He brought a bunch of firearms and threw them all in the Land of Twilight without firing a single shot. Although this is a common situation in expeditions, Altaïr still felt a little distressed. This kind of contraband cannot be bought with money.

After the mysterious party is over tomorrow afternoon, I will go to see if the related channels on Gagran's side are still working...just in time to gather the main ingredients of the potion.Altaïr thought so.
