Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

The Undertaker: Chapter 94 93. It's Avia, not Orville

"Hi, I'm Dom from Greystone Town."

The visiting old man took off his patched top hat, introduced himself first, and then expressed his intentions somewhat awkwardly:

"I want to give my wife a decent funeral."

"My condolences, may the light and love of Lord Avia bring her salvation and peace."

Luo Xia replied in a standardized manner, but he felt a little strange in his heart. If he wanted to make an appointment for a funeral, he could just walk in and talk about it.Why does this person look tense and embarrassed?It seems that he is very hesitant about this matter, and I don't know how long he hesitated at the door of the church?

Could it be that there is no money...

"I hope to be buried for her at dusk the day after tomorrow. May I invite you to preside over the funeral?"

The old man who claimed to be Dom continued to ask, still looking very embarrassed, as if he was afraid that Rorschach would refuse.

"There's no problem with timing, it's just..."

"I know, this needs a gold coin, I have already asked other guests who came to visit you."

"That's all right. I'll be there on time at dusk the day after tomorrow."

Luo Xia nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Old Dom suddenly became a little excited, showing an expression of disbelief, and confirmed with Rorschach again:

"Really? There is Greystone Town, are you really willing to come?"

"Huh? What happened to Greystone Town?"

Rorschach asked in confusion.

Only then did Old Dom explain it to him with a wry smile.

Although Huishi Town is also under the jurisdiction of the outer city, it is basically the farthest part. It takes a whole day just to go there, and the funeral is arranged at dusk. It will be gone in three days.

So the pastors in the city didn't want to take his business. It was too far away and time-consuming, so before he came to Rorschach's side, he had already had a lot of rejections, so he was nervous and cramped, afraid that he would go to work again. was rejected.

But in fact, even in those remote areas, some sects are still developing and expanding, but there are not as many as in the city, and Old Dom should have hired a priest nearby to preside over the funeral.

But he seemed to insist on a decent enough funeral, and in the end, at the expense of time and rejection, came to town to find a professional priest.

"Although there are two sects in our town, they are all charlatans. There have been a lot of troubles before, and I can't trust them."

Old Dom added one last sentence.

And even though Luo Xia knew this, he still did not refuse, still nodded and replied:

"This is really an unfortunate thing. Fortunately, the glory of the goddess will not let go of any corner. I will be there on time the day after tomorrow at dusk."

He is not afraid of long distances. He now has a "vehicle" with a speed of up to Mach [-] per hour. Even if he wants to go back to the Northland to get the scriptures and knock on Cilarelle's forehead, it won't take too long.

This is an advantage that other competitors in the industry do not have.

And this remote Greystone Town doesn't sound like it's being targeted by too many sects?It's still a blue ocean to be explored, maybe the Avia sect can get some opportunities here?

"This is really wonderful, you are a kind priest, and Lord Orville is also a kind goddess."

Old Dom said with an excited and moved face.

"It's Avia, not Orville. Orville is not gentle at all..."

Rorschach corrected helplessly.

He can hardly remember how many times he has corrected the wrong pronunciation with others...

It's all because Orville's name is so loud, so loud that when the word "Goddess" is mentioned, many people think of her first, and then think of Anastasia who has many second creations.

"Ah... please forgive my ignorance, it's Lady Avia..."

Old Dom quickly corrected his wording.

The matter was settled in this way, and Rorschach ushered in a very busy day after tomorrow, with two funerals in the morning and evening, and an appointment for divine arts teaching in the evening.

On the contrary, I have some free time tomorrow, so I finally have time to think about that complicated new divine art in the scriptures.

But the complexity of this divine art was unprecedented for him. Even though he spent a whole day researching and studying in the basement, he still failed to perform it successfully.

"It's very strange, obviously I read the prayer well, and there is no problem with the operation of the holy power, but why can't it be displayed?"

Rorschach muttered in confusion, then looked down at his hands.

"This doesn't seem to be a magic spell that can be cast casually? Maybe it needs some help from the atmosphere?"

He shook his head, then turned his head to look at the girl in red who was still pinching plasticine, and said:

"Will you go out with me tomorrow? You will need your help to go to a place far, far away."

The girl in red was indifferent, as if she didn't hear what he said.

However, when Luo Xia woke up from the bed in the early morning of the next day, he was startled.

"Wow!"

The girl in red was lying beside him, her blue eyes were quietly staring at him.

The distance between the two was very close, making Rorschach suspect that he could feel her breathing, if she was breathing...

But she just watched silently, and didn't move while Luo Xia was asleep. She also carefully controlled the distance between the two, and there was no physical contact, as if she was afraid of disturbing him.

But even such a beautiful and charming girl, seeing her when she opened her eyes in the morning, really made her heart beat faster.

I don't know when she sneaked in...

So after cleaning up briefly, and leaving baked potatoes for Nota and the little milk cat as rations, Rorschach took the girl in red out of the church, got into the alley next to the garbage, and then went to the red cat. Under the embrace of the girl in the cloak, she entered that pale and silent world.

Rorschach had to preside over the early morning funeral first, and then it was the turn of Greystone Town.

As for the funeral in the morning, although the process was very smooth, it successfully moved the guests to tears, proving once again the professionalism of 'The Undertaker Rorschach'.

But the scene that appeared during the [Consolation to the Undead], there was another accident...

After the light fell, the dead soul inside once again showed their subjective initiative, waved goodbye to the guests, bowed again, and finally stretched out their hands towards the family members, as if wanting a final hug, and then disappeared unwillingly. In the light.

But the unexpected scene this time was within Rorschach's expectations.

After all, he brought the girl in red with him.

And that night in the monastery, she tore up the so-called 0-005, the sealed item full of [salvation] power.

Since she is there, it is normal that there will be a little accident.

Undertaker: Chapter 95 94. Remains without souls

After finishing the funeral in the morning, Rorschach continued to rush towards the direction of Huishi Town without stopping.

In order not to go astray, he also specially bought a map, and then followed the map to guide the direction, letting the girl in red hug him, flashing non-stop.

The choice of landing point is still so 'high and cold'. After each flash, it will always appear on tree branches, telephone poles, tops of barns, etc. high places.

This gave Rorschach a strange illusion, she didn't seem to want to stand on the ground?

With the help of the girl in red, Luo Xia could choose the shortest straight-line distance. The long-distance bus would take almost a day. He only took a few ten minutes to arrive in Greystone Town. The rhythm is well controlled, and there will be no physical discomfort.

And the appearance of this small town is somewhat different from what Rorschach had imagined.

In fact, this place is not poor, nor backward. Needless to say, the water and electricity supply, the whole town is well-built and beautiful, and it is still very new. The big truck that grows ore looks lively and prosperous.

But the remoteness is also really remote. It is located on the edge of the central plain, and a little further north is a land of undulating hills. The hills will spread all the way to the northwest, and finally separate the northern land from the central plain. Central Mountain Range Confluence.

In some places farther away, several tall chimneys and the vague outline of the beneficiation plant below can be seen.

"It should be a town developed by various mining industries, right?"

Rorschach commented in a low voice, then wandered casually on the street again, and asked passers-by while rushing to Old Dom's residence.

The place where Old Dom lived was the fringe area of ​​this fringe town. It still looked like an undeveloped rural area. It felt very poor and backward, which seemed to match Rorschach's stereotype of remote villages and towns.

And old Dom was surprised when he saw him come so early.

"Pastor Rorschach, you're here so soon? I also said to pick you up at the long-distance station in the town..."

"As a mature pastor, I've always been punctual."

Rorschach smiled, and didn't explain the reason. Old Dom didn't ask any more questions, but chatted with Rorschach while it was still early.

"Alas...my miserable wife, she was originally in good health, but for some reason, she suddenly contracted that strange disease..."

"Our family had already prepared money, and the plan was to take her into the city for medical treatment, but the time was delayed by the heavy rain a while ago, and she couldn't make it through..."

"I think it's all my fault, so I must hold a decent funeral for her. It's a pity that her favorite son, our little Dom, can't come back in time..."

When Luo Xia heard this, he asked in a strange way:

"Is she suffering from a mental illness?"

Thanks to the popularity of sects and the existence of healing magic, most parts of the world have achieved free medical care for all. Except for mental illnesses where magic is not very effective, medical treatment does not cost money.

What's more, in a place like the City of Oracles where there is fierce competition among sects, many sects rely on 'free medical treatment' to attract believers.

"There is nothing wrong with her spirit, and she was still sober until the last day... What she suffers from is a strange disease, which cannot be cured by magic."

"We have invited the pastor to try it before, and the other party told us that this disease can only be treated with alchemy potions, which is very expensive and troublesome."

"There are other rich people in the town who have suffered from this disease. They tried to find bishop-level priests in the city to treat them, but they couldn't be cured. In the end, they managed to hang their lives with those medicines, but they couldn't persist. how long……"

Old Dom explained to Rorschach with a sad face.

After hearing this, Luo Xia nodded thoughtfully, inevitably becoming curious in his heart.

Although healing magic is the most useless, at least it is still somewhat effective in healing wounds and diseases.

Generally speaking, diseases that cannot be cured even by healing magic are often not physical diseases.

Healing magic can cure mild mental illnesses like insomnia and dreaminess, but it can't cure those severe ones;

High-level magic can be used to cure acquired limb deformities, but congenital deformities, such as duck webs and six fingers, can only be cured with a knife.

But the other party said that the deceased had no mental problems during his lifetime, nor was there any congenital physical disability or lack of organs, so this is probably not a disease, but something related to [curse]...

But the other party said that he had asked the pastor to look at it. If it was a curse, he would definitely be able to find it.

So this thing seems very strange.

And the disease isn't even an isolated case?

"Can I see her?"

Rorschach asked.

Old Dom nodded, and then took him to the coffin of his dead wife.

He obviously spent money to hire a professional mortician to make his deceased wife's remains look extraordinarily peaceful and dignified.

But Rorschach frowned slightly.

He had activated his spirit vision, but he couldn't find the soul of the deceased.

This is a bit like the method of those cultists...

"Did she suffer at the end?"

Rorschach asked again.

"No...she walked away with a smile, and even at the last moment, she was still comforting me not to be sad..."

Old Dom said, lying on the coffin and began to cry bitterly.

No pain, it means that the soul was not forcibly taken away by evil gods or something.

The soul of the living is forcibly pulled out of the body, and the pain caused is almost equivalent to the skin being peeled off alive. It is a cruel and severe pain that no one can bear.

And if you want to please the evil god with the soul of this ordinary mortal, it must be a living, complete soul, and there must be a sufficient number, plus a complete set of complete and complicated cult rituals.

They really look down on the remnant souls of the dead, and evil gods are not existences that can be easily pleased.

Could it be that those secret associations who contacted the realm of the dead did it again?

Another conjecture popped up in Luo Xia's mind, but he immediately denied it again.

Even if those secret associations really want to get some dead souls, they can just find them in the cemetery. The half-gentleman and the brainless man are quite easy to get along with.

So what kind of weird and bizarre incident is this?

Luo Xia was wondering, and suddenly remembered another detail, so he asked one more question:
