Chapter 265 Blood and Contract (Subscribe)
"Halsey is a non-human existence, and he has been rooted in Pulmouth for many years. His status in the Black Queen is much higher than mine, and he has access to more hidden circles."
Aaron went back to the Hunter's bar, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"He is more likely to get news than me... and he also asked me to help create magical items, and he will do his best."
As for the price needed, Aaron only asked Halsey to help. Anyway, this kind of transaction might have to be communicated back and forth several times. Many of them are barter, and some are timed to prepare.
In his hands, there are also non-human-level items such as bone statues and witch pendants, which can be traded.
'It's really not possible. Throwing the fifth element of the blood cup archbishop out will definitely attract a lot of hyenas, um, and the attention of the investigation bureau...'
He came to the bar and saw William who had been busy for a long time and rarely stopped to rest, and immediately stepped forward.
"Old... Boss."
William, who was caught in a hurry, was taken aback and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"If you have nothing to do, just go to the market and run around. Our bar is a bridge between the Extraordinary and ordinary people. How can you attract business if you don't run around?! Of course, you are doing private work in your name, and I, the ordinary boss, don't know anything about it. …”
Aaron criticized a few words, and finally ordered: "Go to Balkin and tell him to add a task to the reward wall-investigate the truth about Baron Jacques's social network and the arson of his manor! The reward is 100 pounds!"
"Yes!"
William went to Manager Barkin without the slightest suspicion. In his opinion, this was an ordinary commission the boss received from the Black Queen.
And the reward of 100 pounds is rich enough to make those bounty hunters excited.
He walked past 'Mad' Carl, whose eyes made him frightened, and flirted with Isabette a few times before finding Manager Balkin.
And when Barkin hung up the mission goal and bounty, there was a sensation in the bar.
Many bounty hunters secretly memorized this task and were ready to try their luck.
Investigating the truth of the arson case is of course a pretext, and Aaron knows the inside story better than anyone else.
What he really wanted to see was Baron Jacques' relationship report.
With these key clues, you can investigate, or even... divination!
"You haven't killed that kid yet..."
When passing by Carl's table, the 'madman' raised his glass and said to Aaron, "Don't blame me for not reminding you that Beyonders are all lunatics, or potential lunatics, the kind that are even crazier than me."
"Thank you for your reminder, I'll have a drink tonight."
Aaron thinks this Carl is not bad, maybe the madness is just a disguise.
"All right……"
Carl pouted, sat down indifferently, and shouted: "Bring me the best wine in your bar, your boss treats you, hurry up!"
"coming."
William didn't know that the guest suggested that the boss kill him, and diligently took out a bottle of exquisitely packaged high-end wine from behind the counter: "Queen Mary's sigh... Our bar is the best."
He frowned when he saw that there was some dust on the wine bottle, and Isabette next to him immediately handed over a towel. The two smiled at each other. Although it was relatively hidden, Aaron, who was on the sidelines, felt that he was stuffed with a handful of dog food.
'Well... it looks like it's getting better... Shall I promulgate new rules for bars tomorrow, prohibiting office romances, and whoever dares to commit it will open it? ’
He touched his chin, thinking about the tempting idea.
...
Sunday.
Isabette came to the church on the corner of Mary Street.
She found that there were many neighbors, and Mrs. Suge was among them.
Reverend Im in his twenties, handsome, a typical Invis man, and sure enough to please the wives.
He was wearing a priest's uniform and wearing the emblem of the Trinity of the Sun, Moon and Star on his chest. With a warm smile, he stood on the stage and preached:
"In the beginning, the Holy Spirit said that there should be light... So the world has the sun, the moon and the stars... The sun, the moon, and the stars are the incarnation of the Holy Spirit, and the radiance is his domain..."
"The Holy Spirit gives us warmth, gives us light and heat, gives us shelter..."
"Praise the Holy Spirit!"
Im frantic, and his voice is infectious.
"Praise the Holy Spirit!"
The believers in the audience echoed and opened their mouths.
Isabette mixed among the many believers, and also followed the praise, but was a little puzzled.
Because she loves learning and is very motivated, she has read the "Bible Doctrine" of the alcoholic priest Smith before. Although what the priest Yim said is generally consistent, it seems to have added a lot of new content.
Especially...the Holy Spirit is too closely associated with radiance, and concepts such as light and heat are mentioned many times.
In the teachings of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is all-encompassing and is the symbol of everything, not just brilliance!
"By the grace of the Holy Spirit, He gave us His blood and flesh to fill our hungry stomachs...Thanks to the Holy Spirit."
Reverend Im announced with a smile: "Next is the communion session."
The believers stood up automatically and lined up, waiting to receive relief supplies such as bread. Many poor people were struggling to survive on this food.
The ant-like procession marched slowly, and Isabette saw Mrs. Shogg beside Reverend Eym, as assistant.
Moreover, unlike the previous distribution of relief materials, this time everyone came forward and received a glass of wine.
"The Holy Spirit said on the Mount of Olives, This is my blood, the covenant, drink it, and make a covenant..."
Reverend Eym kept whispering verses that Isabette had never heard.
Finally, it was her turn to come to the relief point.
Mrs. Sugar deliberately chose the heaviest loaf, slipped it into Isabette's hand, and whispered a few more words to Reverend Im.
"Isabeth..."
Reverend Yimu had a gentle smile on his face: "I shepherd lambs for the Holy Spirit. I hope you can come often in the future... Last time, all the neighbors had gifts, which I specially left for you."
Smiling, he handed over a pendant.
At the end of the very ordinary thin hemp string, there is a strange statue - it is a blood-colored human figure, tied to a thorn tree.
'This……'
Isabette exclaimed in her heart, very incredible.
Because the Holy Spirit is sovereign, there is no specific human image.
Unless it is the local angels who are included, that is, the Fan God, but the Holy Spirit Cult is also trying to weaken its influence.
Especially the accessories of the church are absolutely not allowed to have the image of a personified god.
'This is blasphemy! ’
'Priest Im...is it a heretic in the Holy Spirit Cult? ’
Isabette took the necklace and hesitated whether to report it to the Faith Theory Department at the church headquarters.
At this moment, Mrs. Suge handed the glass full of wine with a smile: "Child... You must be thirsty?"
"thanks."
Isabette took it, took a sip, and was suddenly surrounded by a strange feeling.
Her body seemed to be flowing in a big river of warm water, and Yim's words from earlier appeared in her ears: "This is my blood, it is the covenant, drink it, and make a covenant..."
Isabette suddenly lost the slightest idea of informing, because she had already made a 'contract'!
