Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 618 A conversation that makes society die

"Pierce Turner?"

"Dark Blue Priest" Rydal Valentine took a breath. He remembered that this person was promoted to Sequence 4 "Night Watch" last year and was one of the only nine "Senior Deacons" of the Church of the Night.

A demigod died so quietly in an alley in the East District?

This made him think of many things at once, such as the strife within the church, the conspiracy against a specific Beyonder, or the accidental conflict with other wild Beyonders while performing a mission...

But these are not suitable for the Church of Storms to ask. Maybe the "punishers" can investigate afterwards, but now, the only thing he can say is:
"The storm is above, may he rest in peace."

He clenched his right fist on his left chest and saluted. He watched a group of Nighthawks approaching from a distance cautiously. He watched Archbishop Anthony pick up the extraordinary properties that had just been separated from Pierce's body and put it away carefully. He watched the foggy The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the crimson moonlight fell on the alley.

Compared to Bayam in the Rhoside Islands, the water in Backlund is too deep... The capture of an Aurora Order's divine envoy actually involved demigod-level enemies, and even the senior deacon of the Church of the Night died inexplicably. .

Should I bring a defensive sealed item with me when I go out in the future?

An idea suddenly came to his mind.

He saw that the patient's face was indeed pale and his movements were weak. He had no doubts in his heart, and he did not use "skills" such as spiritual vision or divination to confirm the patient's condition. He just brought care to the church and himself as an ordinary bishop. .

After the only guest Elektra sat down, she leaned forward, approached Dawn on the bed, and asked with concern:

"Bishop, what's the reason for your late night visit?"

On the bed that Walter couldn't see in the room, "Dwayne Dantès" was closing his eyes to rest. When he heard his question, he opened his eyes and answered without hesitation:
"Ask him to come up."

Dawn forced a smile on her face, making her morbid face more lively, and replied.

"Dawn, how do you feel? Have you called a doctor?"

Originally, Walter could have declined this request on behalf of his master, but Bishop Elektra was one of the "distinguished guests" specially ordered by Dawn Dantes, and Walter himself was also a devout believer in the goddess. So he first invited the bishop to the reception room, then he went up to the door of the master bedroom on the third floor, pushed the door open a crack, poked his head in and asked:

----

The bishop sat up straight, leaned on the back of the chair, and took the tea cup from the maid next to him.

"Haha, you are really a devout believer of the goddess."

After Walter left, "Dawn" carefully adjusted his posture and allowed himself to sit up a little. His face became paler, as if he had lost blood and was hungry, but he felt that he had gone too far and recovered quickly. A touch of rosy.

"Sir, Bishop Electra is here and wants to see you. Should you invite him up here, or should you go to the living room to see him?"

"After taking some medicine and paying attention to nutrition and reasonable combination of meals, I feel much better. Maybe tomorrow, next Monday at most, I can go back to the church and listen to your sermon."

"I heard that Dao En was sick yesterday, and I came here to visit him today."

The butler Walter should have been like this, but he was a little surprised by the sudden arrival of a distinguished guest.

Since the master Dawn Dantès has been ill at home these two days and has not gone out or invited neighbors to his home, the servants here have much less to do. After 8 o'clock, they have completed today's cleaning and returned to the servants' room. , only a few people were left to keep vigil.

Dantès's house, No. 160, rue Beklund.

After a while, Walter led the bishop into the bedroom, followed by Dawn's valet Richardson and a maid serving tea, who gathered around the bed.

Elektra, the rotating bishop of St. Samuel's Church, smiled kindly and replied:

At this moment, Dawn suddenly asked:

"Speaking of devout believers, I have always had a question: What is the attitude within the church towards clergy marriage?"

This is not a sensitive issue, and there are usually many believers who are curious about it, so Elektra chuckled and said softly like she usually preached:
"This was once an issue that was heatedly discussed and even argued about in the church's theological conferences. "Some clergy believe that they are servants of the goddess, and both men and women must remain holy to show respect for the goddess. However, the opponents searched for the goddess's past oracles from various classics, proving that the goddess encouraged marriage, encouraged equal and normal interactions between the sexes, and clergy should lead by example and become role models for believers.

"In modern times, everyone no longer debates this issue. We do not encourage or oppose the marriage of clergy. We just ask that family members not be brought to, um, live in the church."

Seeing Dawn who was half lying on the bed, he couldn't help but ask:
"Dawn, are you considering marriage when you ask this? The church encourages believers to fall in love freely. There is no need for you to worry about how your faith will affect your life."

Dawn, who was wearing pajamas and curling up with her feet under the velvet quilt, coughed lightly and replied:
"In the past, when I took risks to accumulate wealth, I did not consider getting married because I was afraid of delaying and dragging down the other party. But after I came to Backlund and settled down, I did have such an idea. Perhaps, I can do this this time Find your true love in Backlund.”

This speech made several people, including the butler Walter and the two servants, stunned, especially Bishop Elektra who came to visit the patient. He put down the teacup, leaned forward again, and asked:
"What kind of lady do you like? Maybe I can help you introduce the corresponding candidate."

As stated in sacred scriptures such as "The Revelation of the Night", the goddess encourages marriage, so the clergy of the church are proud to urge believers to get married, and even often make matchmaking between believers.

After all, after two believers get married, their descendants will hardly change their beliefs, which will inevitably lead to more devout believers in the Goddess Church, which is a "guaranteed profit without loss."

"My type..."

Dawn seemed to be lost in thought, lowered her head and was silent for a moment before continuing to answer:

"In my dreams, I once longed for a mature woman who could give me warmth and peace of mind; I longed for a young woman who was petite, delicate and made me feel full of energy; I longed for a noble woman who was beautiful and attractive but could not be approached and could only be admired from afar; I even longed for two women who were entangled with each other and had an ill-fated relationship, hoping that they could fall in love with me at the same time..."

Following his words, Richardson, the valet standing nearby, was stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to the other side, feeling his face burning; Bishop Elektra's smile froze on her face, her eyes wandered, and she stretched out her hand to make a fist. Holding it to his mouth and coughing lightly; Butler Walter's body was shaking and his face was pale, as if he had remembered something; even the maid standing at the back holding the teapot and teacup had blushing cheeks, pursed lips, and tenderness in her eyes.

Dawn was unaware of this and continued:

"...But in the end, I confirmed my true love, which is a young, beautiful, noble lady. Like me, she came to Backlund from other places, hoping to gain a foothold here. She has a pure and kind personality, but has her own personality. His perseverance is stronger than mine and gives me a sense of security, yet he is petite and cute, giving me the opportunity to show my strengths.”

"Dawn, it sounds like you already have a clear goal." In order to get rid of the embarrassment, Elektra immediately took over the conversation, "Can you tell me who it is? If you are a believer of the goddess and are not married yet, I can ask on your behalf. Her opinion."

"She is also a believer in the goddess. Recently, she goes to church every week to listen to sermons. Many pastors must have met her."

Daun answered vaguely, his eyes stayed on the bishop, and asked:
"Bishop, where are you? Do you have a wife?"

Elektra, who had just listened to the other party's astonishing speech, felt her face heat up. She hesitated for a moment and did not answer the question. Instead, she shook her head with a smile and said:

"Dawn, I think it's getting late. You can rest peacefully and I will help you keep an eye on that woman."

At this moment, he felt as if there was a terrifying storm brewing above his head, causing his spirit to stand up like a vigilant hedgehog. But when he looked up, there was an ordinary ceiling above him, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit me, Walter. Please send the bishop off."

When he lowered his head again, Dawn in front of him no longer had the previous expression of asking him about his shameful private matters. Instead, he calmly ordered his butler to see off the guests.

This made the bishop, who had just thought about the overlap between his wife and the other party's description, feel a little embarrassed, breathed a sigh of relief, said good night and left.

The room quickly became quiet. The balcony window opened quietly, and a figure entered the bedroom from the balcony. It was Klein who had restored the appearance of Dwayne Dantès.

The other Dawn on the bed immediately had a flattering smile on his face, and he bowed sideways:
"Great master, you are back," he stuttered, as if he was worried about something, "your humble servant Arrods just gave a pretty good answer, right?"

In the second half of the conversation, Arrods felt that Klein had returned nearby. The questions and answers that were originally instinctive to explore other people's privacy and make the target socially dead immediately turned into a normal conversation, and finally The punishment for Bishop Electra's refusal to answer questions was also removed, preventing the tragic ending of the bedroom becoming the scene of the bishop's death.

Moreover, I always felt that his phrase "longing in dreams" was a deconstruction of the night when I was influenced by the mother tree of desire and had an erotic dream. It even poked the hearts of several other people present in turn. If I hadn't entered Mr.

"That's a good answer, but don't answer it next time."

"Thank you for your affirmation, great master," Dawn continued on the bed, her voice trembling a little, "Then, can you ask the mistress outside the window to put down her weapon?"
