Witch Hunter from Entry to Unemployment

Chapter 24
Walter curled up, trembling, and his face was red and white.

Although the slap from my father was harsher, it was obviously more lethal than the sentence 'you are fake'.

Walter suddenly woke up and returned to reality from fantasy time. He suddenly found that he was not a divinely favored person at all, and the goddess' eyes did not rest on him at all. He was a complete fake.

What qualifications does a counterfeit have to compare with a real god-favored person? He was not qualified from the very beginning.

"Why, why, that sinner..."

Even so, Walter still felt unconvinced in his heart.

The Lev family is not a well-established aristocrat, and as the head of the family, Lambert only has the title of Viscount.

A viscount with no fame and no land in his ancestors, in the eyes of those aristocrats with hundreds of thousands of years of history, is not even as good as a nouveau riche. After all, nouveau riche is still rich.

Blue Lake City is just an ordinary border city. The overall economy is not bad, but it can't be said that it is very prosperous.Although Lambert is the mayor, he doesn't actually have much power in his hands. On the surface, he and Richard govern the city together, but in fact, most of the time, Richard's opinions are the main ones.

Walter's incompetent rage was only exchanged for a sneer from his father.

"Why? Don't forget, the sinner you mentioned came from one of the four great dukes in the kingdom. He has noble blood flowing through his body. And Rosalind, her status is also noble. Why do you say ?”

"Which one of the four dukes has not been passed down for more than a thousand years? Before this country existed, they held huge power in their hands. Since then, they have been favored by the goddess. Among their descendants, there are those who are favored by the gods. , isn't that a normal thing?"

What happened that year, because the news was suppressed, not many people knew about it.

Most people only know the identity of Li Xun's sinner, and the rest don't know at all.

A small number of insiders only know that this child has extraordinary blood and is likely to be a member of the four major families, but it is not very clear which one of the four major families it is.

Faced with this kind of scandal, the four big families, who were not in a harmonious relationship, chose to join forces and suppress it very tacitly.

It's not uncommon for them to do this, after all, it's their common face.

There was also a look of surprise on Walter's face. He obviously didn't expect that Li Xun still had such an identity.

"But his family should have given up on him, otherwise he wouldn't have been labeled a sinner for so long. Now that he has become a favored person, this is what the family behind him doesn't want to see, right?"

"Who knows, how can you and I guess the considerations of the big people above. I didn't take this matter to heart at first, and I simply thought that this child was nothing more than a loser in the struggle for power. But now, you are still like this Do you think? Why did the promising Rosalind give up everything in order to save this child? Why did Rosalind never become a favored person, and why does this child become a favored person now? The water here is very deep, so we If the little people in the house get involved, there will be no scum left."

Lambert took a deep breath, looking secretive.

Now Walter couldn't help shivering. Thinking of what he did in the audience hall back then, he was particularly worried whether he would be remembered by this newly-promoted god-favored person.

"There are a lot of nobles in Blue Lake City, and there are many people who are older than our family in terms of qualifications. Why can I become the mayor? Isn't it because I am obedient enough and donated enough money to Priest Richard? I lost my family It is indeed a pity to have the number of candidates, but now I think this may be a good thing, if you really become this divinely favored person, there is no possibility of you becoming a full-time person, and it may only bring ruin to the family."

"Yes... it's the boy who disappointed his father."

Lambert waved his hand, signaling the other party to get up.

"Okay, about the two suggestions of Priest Richard, have you thought about it, which one do you want to choose?"

"I... I... I choose the master of ceremonies."

Wilt hesitated for a long time, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to become a superhuman.

He didn't dare to imagine what kind of pain an organ transplant would suffer, and he was also filled with fear of such a thing.

Moreover, to join the Tribunal is to face extraordinary creatures and cultists, and the death rate of members of the Tribunal has always remained high.

The master of ceremonies is different, it is a completely civilian job.

Lambert was not surprised by this, but disappointment inevitably appeared in his eyes.

In today's kingdom, it is not so difficult to become a baron or a viscount after struggling for more than ten or twenty years, but it is basically impossible to go further, let alone obtain your own fiefdom.

And if one becomes an extraordinary person, there is a further possibility, as long as one can continue to become stronger and become a judge in the Tribunal.

City Inquisitor, Regional Inquisitor, Grand Inquisitor...

But soon, Lambert shook his head again, with a self-deprecating look on his face.

Sure enough, I still think too much. My son, joining the trial court, is afraid that he will die in the mission if he doesn't live more than a month.

The master of ceremonies is also quite good, at least it is also the facade of the Holy See, not ashamed.

All right, you go back first, get ready, and go to the Cathedral of Blue Lake City when the time comes.

"Yes, father."

Wilt left, and Lambert in the office fell into thinking again.

After a while, he summoned the secretary on the side and asked.

"How is Miss Rosalind's manor going? Has she been anywhere these days, and has anyone in the manor visited?"

"Since the God's Selection Ceremony ended, everything has been normal. Miss Rosalind has not gone out, and no one has visited the manor."

"Well, do you think I should pay a visit?"

"This...my suggestion is better not to go, after all, Miss Rosalind may not like this very much."

"That's right, then prepare some gifts... Well, no, let those shops that have provided supplies for the manor for a long time give some discounts, and the city hall will make up the difference."

"Yes, I understand, Lord Mayor."

The secretary nodded and went to carry out these things, and Lambert was also relieved.

In any case, it is a good thing that Blue Lake City has a true god-favored person.

Otherwise, how could Wilt enter the Holy See and obtain such a good position?

The court of ceremonies and the trial court are not accessible to ordinary people.

Most of the noble children joined the Holy See as nuns or attendants.

As for Rosalind, the mayor has provided a lot of help over the years, presumably that adult will not mind his son's little offense.

I just don't know, that sin... God's Favored One, will you feel resentment in your heart? After all, he is an immature young man who has been oppressed all the time, but now he suddenly has great power.

Fortunately, he will leave Blue Lake City soon, and there is a high probability that he will not return in the future.
