Chapter 181 The Wall of the Unbelievers

“The Wall of the Unbelievers?”

The information that bishop accidentally revealed surprised and puzzled outsiders, but they didn't know if it was a religious saying or if this thing really existed.

Reached out and returned the commemorative coin in his hand to Owen Bishop, but Bishop waved his hand and did not take it:

"This is for you as a souvenir, anyway, it was originally to promote Holy Prayer Use it. Mr. Hamilton, you can always come to Dawn Church in the future, we have a very formal Scripture Lecture every week, or just go to the confessional to express your troubles."

He hasn't Give up the idea of pulling Shade into teaching.

Shade agreed and put the small coin into the breast pocket of his shirt to prevent it from slipping out of the coat pocket.

Owen bishop had other things to do, and after he left, Augustus priest took Shade out of Dawn Square to get the potion "The Price of Growth".

The priest has his own rented base outside the Dawn Church to configure potions. After all, it is too risky to configure potions in the church.

"priest, does our world really have a wall of unbelievers?"

Shade asked in a low voice on the road, Augustus priest's answer was ambiguous:
"No one comes back after death, so I can't give a definite answer. But from the ancient book and literature, at least since the third era, there is a very clear 'Wall of the Unbelievers'. , it is very likely that this is real. Detective, I remember that you seem to wake up from blindness and ignorance, and you have not chosen your own beliefs, this is not good."

He slowed down and looked towards a Shade , smiled and said the same words as Owen Bishop:
"Are you interested in learning about the beliefs of our Lord [Mr. Dawn]?"

If you are just a shallow believer, you don't have any specific obligations to Take on a prayer that doesn't even have to be fixed to church every week. But correspondingly, if you encounter something like a ghost, don’t think that the church can help exorcism for free, and other help from the church is not free.

Shade walked forward with the priest, thinking about faith,
In fact, he was not sure whether he could complete the path of sublimation of the twelve divinities before he died, so in order to prevent After death, it was taken to paste the wall, and in order to be able to not feel embarrassed when asked about beliefs in daily communication activities, it seemed that it was okay to choose a god to become a shallow believer.

"I want to think about it."

He gave the answer, and he wasn't in a hurry anyway. When is it needed, Shade went to the church to buy some ornaments with holy emblems and put them at home , and then verbally declare that you are a believer of the righteous God.

Augus priest rented a basement in his apartment near the Church of Dawn, and the owner was his old friend who was absolutely reliable for many years. Priest's books, relics, all kinds of casting materials and equipment for potion preparation are mostly placed in the basement.

That street is called Great Street, next to Dawn Square. It only takes about ten minutes to walk from the entrance of the church to the basement of the apartment.

The basement is much larger than Shade's, and the ceilings are higher. Because the ground floor of the apartment is actually higher than the street level, a small window was opened at the top of the wall in the basement to allow the outside sunlight to barely penetrate.

Of course, rainy days must close.

This is basically a "studio", where the priest not only houses the potions and equipment, but also the bed and wardrobe.

The potion "The Price of Growth" and the ingredients were given to Shade by the priest in a paper bag. All materials were stuffed into bottles, the liquid in the bottles was brown, with some flocculent suspicious substances floating in the liquid, and the bottles themselves were individually wrapped in newspapers.

Not to protect from the sun, but to prevent the smell from escaping.

"I'll never make this potion again, the smell is unbearable. Even when I was young as a priest in a rural village, I didn't smell it."

priest looked helpless when Shade counted the material costs to the priest.

In addition to these things, Shade also drew on his notepad the pattern of the bottom of the potion bottle found in the hidden space in the basement, hoping that the first could help identify it.

The main body of the pattern is an equilateral triangle, the three corners of the triangle are connected to a small circle, and the inside of the triangle is a man with wings.

"Interesting, it must be some kind of old sign, I don't know."

Augus priest shook his head.

"You don't know either?"

"But don't be disappointed, although I don't know it, there may be a record of this sign in the church library. I can check it out. , but, is it convenient for you to reveal the origin of this logo?"

The priest asked, Shade shook his head cautiously:

"It's not convenient for now, but I'll talk about it later. Be careful when you look for it, this sign is most likely related to the ring warlock, I hope this doesn't get you into trouble."

"It's okay, it's just a small matter."

The priest waved his hand, and the two parted in the lively street.

It was just eight o'clock at this time, and Shade returned to St. Teresa Square with a paper bag and hid the potion and the pile of disgusting materials behind the hidden wall of the basement, waiting for midnight today. Try to bring in the past.

Afterwards, she said hello to Mia, who was walking at home, and then walked out of the house again.

The lawyer who was entrusted by Mrs. Le Maire to investigate was named Locke Laurel. When he visited Mrs. Le Maire, he left his business card, so Shade could easily follow the name of the business card. Leads to find people.

Mr. Laurel does not work in a law firm with a permanent Public Area Point office, he is a licensed attorney providing private legal advice and assistance in the nature of Shade's detective work It's almost the same, but it definitely earns more than Shade.

The gentleman lives in the northern part of Tobeysk, and although the northern part of the city is generally considered to be the lower part of Tobeysk, the lawyer's residence is not a slum. It was a place called Queen Mary Street, and the lawyer rented a second layer apartment on the street.

Shade doesn't know anyone around here, so he doesn't have to disguise his face when he arrives. Just after recognizing the exit sign, I knocked on the door downstairs for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

So I thought about knocking on the door of the next apartment and asking the neighbors, but the door finally opened.

The door was opened by an alcoholic, squat man in shorts and a striped blouse, looking square. The hair on his arms is thicker than the beard on his broad chin, his eyes are narrowed as if they are not adapted to the morning light in the mist, and he mutters hard to hear when he speaks:
"Who? For the sake of face, can you not knock on the door so early?"

It's not even nine o'clock, but it's not very early, but it's hard to tell with a drunk guy.
