Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 224 The Priest of Harvest Church

Returning to his home at No. 47 Red Rose Street, Angel sat on the single sofa next to the bay window, counting today's harvest in his hands, feeling extremely happy.

After selling the "Savage" formula and homemade bullets, she now has as much as 900 pounds in cash, and is about to break through four digits and reach her previous wealth peak.

Although there was 100 pounds in the balance that belonged to the pharmacist Darkwill, it was still in her hands, so Angel unceremoniously included it in the calculation.

"Before going to Daqiao South District tomorrow, go to the bank to deposit it. It's too easy to be stolen at home. Well, if I run away and don't have time to take the money away, I will lose it all."

She plans to go to the Harvest Church in the South District of the Bridge tomorrow, Saturday, to look for Bishop Utravsky in the clues provided by the pharmacist, and try to complete his mission and obtain the "Pharmacist" formula.

"If it is true as the other party said, as long as you complete the task and you can get the formula without paying, then this formula is equivalent to buying it for 200 pounds. I can sell it to the Viscount for 300 pounds. He is so anxious that he should accept it. You might even be grateful to me..."

"In this way, my savings exceeded three digits and reached 1200 pounds, which is equivalent to half of the Sequence 6 formula."

Although Angel's "Pleasure Witch" formula and main ingredients have been found and can be obtained from Servilia as the mission to approach Miss Audrey is completed, she also needs to consider the possibility of mission failure and even the possibility of her identity being exposed. sex.

At that time, it is time to activate the backup plan, try to buy the formula from Laura, and then obtain the potion materials at the Extraordinary gathering.

The recipe for Sequence 6 may cost 1500 pounds or even 2000 pounds to buy, and the main materials of each potion will not be less than this amount. The little money you save is just a drop in the bucket.

"By the way, one of the main materials promised by Servilia can be picked up over the weekend. If everything goes well tomorrow, I will go to her house the day after tomorrow. This cannot be delayed. The safest thing is to get it in hand..."

After arranging his weekend schedule, Angel went to the basement and prepared to make the star crystal he bought today into bullets to supplement his combat power so that he could complete the bishop's "mission" tomorrow.

----

Taking the subway, crossing the Tasok River from underground to the south area of ​​​​the bridge, Angel walked out of the smog-shrouded subway station and caught a hired carriage to go to Rose Flower Street.

She was fully armed today. Except for the contaminated "Crimson Eye", she had all the other magical items, weapons, ammunition and props.

Before going out, she even used the pendulum method to do a divination for herself, confirming that there was little danger in going to the south area of ​​the bridge to meet Bishop Utravsky.

After getting off the carriage at the street corner, Angel saw the Harvest Church in the distance through the thick haze.

This church has a golden appearance, and the outer wall is engraved with the Holy Emblem of Life consisting of a baby surrounded by wheat ears, flowers, and spring water symbols. The main building has a steeple, which is incompatible with the Rune-style streets.

The South District is also one of the areas with a larger population, but it is not as chaotic and poor as the East District. It is similar to the West District of Tingen where Angel once stayed. Although it is not as magnificent as several other wealthy districts, the streets are clean and the crowds are busy and busy. Don't look cluttered.

At this moment, when the morning mass was completed, the main door of the church opened, and believers walked out in groups. Angel went against the crowd and entered the church hall.

Rows of seats are arranged neatly inside, with a huge Holy Emblem of Life hanging in front of it, consistent with the shape of the exterior wall, and a row of candles lit on both sides.

A man over two meters tall wearing a brown priest's uniform stood in front of the altar.

"Bishop Utravsky?"

After seeing all the believers leaving, Angel stepped forward and asked tentatively.

The man turned back and looked at Angel.

He was wearing a bishop's bonnet, with sparse eyebrows and wrinkles on his face. He looked like he was in his 50s or [-]s. There was a hint of kindness in his light blue eyes surrounded by crow's feet.

"It's me, but everyone usually calls me Father."

"Hello, Father Utravsky," Angel changed his title and said straight to the point, "I heard that you have something to entrust, and the reward is the 'pharmacist's' potion formula?"

The tall priest was silent. Just when Angel thought the other party would deny it, he pointed to the seat next to him, then walked over first and sat down.

Angel followed and sat next to him. Even though she was relatively tall among the Loen people, she still looked like an underage child sitting next to this priest who was obviously of Feysac descent. He leaned on his knees and said:
"Yes, although I don't know where you got the news from, I do need help, but..." He turned his head and looked at Angel, "This matter is very dangerous, and I think it will be difficult to complete. Are you sure you want to try it? "

"If it can be settled with gold pounds, of course I choose not to take the risk."

Angel answered with a smile. Before coming to the South District today, she first went to the Hillston District and deposited a large part of her huge wealth into an bearer account. In order to cope with possible expenses, she left 300 pounds in the In the pocket, the money was strong at this time, and the voice was a little louder.What's more, you can ask the Viscount for reimbursement...

She added in her mind.

"Unfortunately, I won't sell the formula, it's a commandment."

The priest shook his head.

"Then tell me about your commission. Maybe I am more powerful than you think?"

Angel crossed his legs and looked at the burly priest in a listening posture. The latter sighed, gave up persuasion, and began to tell his story.

"I was born in Indo on the coast of the Jianhai Sea. When I was young, I loved fighting and killing. I did a lot of ridiculous things in Fusac. In the end, I committed a crime that even the empire could not tolerate. I fled to the sea and became a pirate. "

"In the Suniya Sea, I continued my evil deeds until I met a missionary of the Mother Goddess. Under his teachings, I understood the value of life and the charm of the growth of all things. Under the Holy Mother Goddess, Hui Qian made an oath: In order to make up for the sins of the past, he would spread his faith to other countries."

"So you came to Loen to preach in the capital of a country that already has a mainstream religion?"

Angel asked at the right time.

Yinduo is a port city in the Feysac Empire across the sea from the northwest coast of the Loen Kingdom. It seems that the bishop is indeed a Feysac person. Unexpectedly, he eventually believed in the Mother Goddess of the Earth and came to Loen. Go on a mission.

The mainstream beliefs of the Kingdom of Loen are the Goddess of Night, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Steam and Machinery. The Mother Goddess of the Earth only has the right to preach, but the number of churches is strictly limited. She only has churches and believers in a few big cities, and she cannot even form her own Armed with extraordinary people.

Father Utravsky chose this place to preach, seemingly sincerely repenting for his past actions.

"Yes, this is the only meaning of my existence."

The priest stood up from his seat and faced Angel. The difference in height and posture made him look like a legendary giant.

"My commission is for you to kill me."

Ok?
Angel almost suspected that he had heard wrongly. Could it be that this reformed priest suddenly felt that his sins could not be washed away by preaching alone?

"Kill the me in the past, the me who did many evil things and had blood on my hands."

repeated the priest.

It seems that I heard it right, but it seems to be getting harder...

She looked up at the priest, waiting for his explanation.

"In the past, the me who was fanatical about killing and fighting is still deep in my heart, and has never really died." The priest continued, "He is still insisting, wanting to take back control of the body and return to his former self. In this state, although I believed in the Mother Goddess, practiced asceticism, and used preaching to influence him, hoping that he would become one with me again, it had no effect."

"Sounds like schizophrenia. Shouldn't you find a psychiatrist to take a closer look?"

"I tried. There are also 'physicians' in the Mother Goddess Church. They tried to help me, but in the end they found that this was not a mental illness, but a tendency to lose control. If I was eventually replaced by the person I used to be, The body will lose control and become a monster that only knows how to kill.”

"So, there are two Utravskis in your body. The current you is good, and the inner you is evil," Angel concluded, "But how to kill that 'past you'? Since you proposed this There must be some way to entrust it, right?”

"Yes," Father Utravsky nodded, "I have been looking for a real solution to him these years. Blessed by the Mother Goddess, I got a magical item, which is said to belong to an ancient dragon. Relics.”

"It allows the holder to enter the depths of the target's mind and materialize the corresponding scene, where you can see the past me and fight with it. Once he is truly dead, he will never appear again. "

The priest took out a candle with only half of it left in the pocket of his priest's uniform. The outer layer seemed to be wrapped in a layer of biological skin. It was wrinkled and even had several horrible knots on it. The candle core was slightly protruding. , the dark surface has fine scale-like patterns.

Holding the candle, the priest looked at Angel with expectant eyes.
