Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 walked into the gate, greeted quietly with the guards and priests passing by, then sat on the bench in the last row of the sermon, and listened to the sermon of the priest standing in the front with many believers.

　　 After listening for a while, someone patted Jenkins on the shoulder behind him. He looked back and found that it was Bishop Parrod. He shook his head at Jenkins, motioned him not to get up, and then sat next to him and listened together.

　　 When the priest's sermon was about to end, the two men left softly and walked through the corridor to the backyard. At this time, the chocolate that had been quiet meowed.

　　 "What a wonderful sermon."

　　 Jenkins was the first to speak. This is the truth. The young priest is indeed very eloquent, and the theme chosen this time is the oldest legend of the church. Stories are always more interesting than boring truths.

　　 "Yes, young people nowadays are very powerful. I have something to look for you."

　　 Before Jenkins inquired about the donation, the bishop took the lead in talking about business.

　　 "Please speak."

　　 Jenkins let go of the chocolate and let it run casually in the yard, and the passing nuns greeted the chocolate.

　　 Just like last time, the two walked while chatting, and the bishop pointed in the direction of the library in the distance.

"Jenkins, first of all, it's about the arrangement of your studies. Calculating the time, it has been almost two months since you started. Those professional auxiliary courses, such as etiquette, equestrianism, geography, etc., will also start. The second half of the church You are the only new recruit, so there will be no special classrooms. At present, our plan is to find some private teachers for you. Of course, all of them are reliable and devout believers. I don’t know what your opinion is. ?"

"This is good."

　　 Jenkins will not fail to agree. His current knowledge of grammar and arithmetic is acceptable, but in other respects, it is possible, no, it must be inferior to his brother John Williams.

"These courses will start almost next month, and Oliver will inform you. These seemingly ordinary courses are very important. The church values ​​you very much. In order to take on more responsibilities, you need to have greater abilities... . I don’t need to say this, I believe you all understand."

　　 "Yes, sir. I will keep the habit of lifelong learning, and I will live to learn until I grow old."

　　 He nodded cautiously, thinking whether these courses would be interesting.

　　 "I like your attitude very much."

　　 The old man showed a relieved smile, and led Jenkins to turn into another large building in the courtyard.

"The second thing is that the local publisher Mr. Bro contacted us. I spent some time talking with him. He told me that some foreign booksellers wanted to publish your book in a foreign country. I think this is a A good thing. Not only for you, but also for the church."

　　 "Yes, this is a good thing, but I remember that foreign books are published in the country and generally undergo strict censorship."

　　 "This is not a problem."

　　 The two walked up the stairs. The young man walking down saw the bishop and immediately avoided.

　　 "The church will take care of this. Come with me now."

　　 did not continue upstairs, the two entered a large room on the second floor through the back door. This is a room similar to an amphitheater. A burly middle-aged man stands in front of a blackboard and says something loudly, and the people sitting look up at him.

　　 After listening to it for a while, Jenkins understood that middle-aged people were teaching basic grammar knowledge, but it seemed that the progress was slow, because most of the people attending the class had blank expressions.

　　 The two walked out of the classroom and started talking again.

　　PS: Sometimes it is a big trouble to get chapter names.

　　 Add one more at eight o'clock.

　　 ask for votes.

Section 163 Chapter 159 Candidates for Bishops?

"The church offers low-cost education courses for believers, but the poor believers don’t have the time. Most believers who have time don’t need these basic knowledge. The church’s propaganda has been going on, but the effect is not great. The kingdom does not want us to pass this Ways to expand our influence...not to mention these, in short, we now need a teacher who teaches basic arithmetic at night, and the original gentleman has returned to his hometown with his family. Poor Foley I wish him good health, sir. Oliver praised me for your arithmetic ability. It will be enough for one hour from three to eight to nine o'clock every week, 10 shillings per class..."

"no problem."

　　 Before the old man could finish speaking, Jenkins replied immediately.

　　 "It's easy, and one hour is short."

　　 He didn't say that he didn't need the money. After all, knowledge is valuable. This is written in the doctrine of the sage.

"This is good."

　　 The old man nodded and looked at the young student holding books walking downstairs and looking at the chocolates in the flower garden.

"We also need reasons to conceal your identity. The royal family and some nobles know that you have a great relationship with the church. Some people are speculating that the diocese wants to train you to become the next or the next bishop... ."

　　 "Why is there such a guess?"

　　 Jenkins was amused, tapped the floor lightly with the cane in his hand, took off his hat, and placed it on the window edge.

　　【Knowledge and Books Church】Sure enough, there is money. The window frames are made of some kind of brass alloy, which Jenkins can't see. The smooth floors in the corridors remind people of some harsh nobles' large estates.

　　 Judging from Jenkins's knowledge, the decoration level of the manor where Miss Hesha participated in the masquerade last time is probably not as good as here.

"This is easy to understand. Your father and mother were believers of sages for a long time. You have followed them to church since childhood. You know most of the people in the church; you are now'returning evil to righteousness', and you have found a job under my introduction. , And successfully published a book; there is no problem with your ability, the image displayed outside, and the rumors arranged by the church, Mr. Jenkins Williams is a very independent, neat, impartial and very pious Believers. If I announce today that you have quit your job with Oliver and recruit you as a priest of the church, then the whole city will know that the church has candidates for [Knowledge and Books] the next day. Although they are not sure about this, but This kind of speculation is now the mainstream..."

The bishop smiled and looked at the spire of the main hall of the church in the distance, and added: "I came from a pious family, was assigned a humble job by the church, I can publish my own books, I have a good relationship with the local church personnel, and I am familiar with church doctrines and classics. Not inferior to any believer...you satisfy all the elements."

　　 Jenkins didn’t know what to say for a while, he thought about it, and tentatively asked: "You don’t really intend to..."

　　 "Will you agree?"

　　 the old man asked rhetorically.

"of course not."

　　 He answered honestly, and sighed softly in his heart:

　　 "The secret of becoming a **** is being revealed to me step by step. Where can I have time to become a bishop under the constraints of power?"

As he thought, he added again: "I am not interested in the secular or the rights of the church. Although my literary and mathematics level is good, management skills can not be cultivated in a short time. To be honest, even Let me be king, I don’t have time!"

Bishop Parrod laughed: "You still look like this. I remember when Robert asked about your plans for the future when you were eight years old. You said something similar at that time. It was an autumn, but it was the first snow that year. Earlier..."

　　 He was telling the past, and Jenkins stood by and listened with a smile. No matter who the soul is, he now has the body of Jenkins and will help the original owner to live his life.

　　 After talking with Bishop Parrod, Jenkins accompanied him to listen to the sermon in the church for a while before he got up and planned to look for Captain Pennsey. However, he is very busy now due to the gear germs issue. Instead of looking for him, Jenkins found Jerry Schleich instead.

　　 Because the bearded gentleman was attacked by a demon on the night of the demon incident, his body is still a little weak, so he has not been assigned to work in the field and still stays inside the church as a guard.

"Williamt, long time no see. I'm planning to go to Oliver in a few days to thank you. The doctor who treated me said that if the trauma were not cured very early, this injury might leave me for a lifetime. Illness that can't be cured."

　　 The place where the two talked was beside a flower garden near the back door. It was already October, but there were still some seedlings growing in the flower garden.

　　 Listening to Mr. Schleich’s introduction, this seems to be a very precious plant. The parish unexpectedly obtained a dozen seeds and planted it here with the mentality of trying it out. The left and right only occupy a small area, even if there is no harvest, it would be a pity.

　　 asked about Mr. Schleich’s physical condition, Jenkins stopped going around and asked straightforwardly:

　　 "I was there when I discovered the gear germ yesterday, so I came here today to ask how things are going. It doesn't matter, if this matter needs to be kept secret, you don't need to answer."

　　 While he was talking, he waved his hand to indicate that he had no intention of spying on the secret.

　　 "It doesn't matter, as you are, you don't need to conceal this matter deliberately. But please don't talk with others outside, you should also know the confidentiality agreement..."

　　 He paused and touched in his pocket for a while before he took out a silver piece and threw it to the ground.

"Yesterday the church received the message from Captain Binxi and immediately sent the letter to other Orthodox churches. At the same time, it arranged for personnel to liaise with the municipal government and stepped up the search for people related to the scammer. Now 12 infected persons have been found. There are people of all identities. Generally speaking, a source of infection can infect 30 to 50 people. We don’t know how many people he had contact with before he was arrested, and how many people were infected. Now things are very troublesome. There may be more than one source of infection hidden in Nolan City..."

　　 As the man said, a deep sense of worry appeared on his face. Jenkins thought about what he had just said, and suddenly felt that Captain Pennsey might have a big head now.

　　 "How did the source of infection appear? Is this clear?"

　　 he asked again.

　　PS: Ask for recommended tickets, monthly tickets, blades, and rewards.

Chapter 164 Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Scammers and Cthulhu

“It’s only been investigated for one day now, but based on the contact time between the infected person and him, at least it can be confirmed that the man became the source of the gear infection before he was arrested. This means that we need to invest a lot of manpower to investigate his society. Relationship. Sage, this is not an easy task. The church has tried to directly divination the source through divination, or items like magical conch and valuable question answering device, but it has been/disturbed. The current locked range, In a large area on the east bank of the Westminster River. These areas include slums, commercial streets, town halls, churches and other crowded places, and we cannot guarantee whether the prisoners will leave the original location. Worse. However, when investigating the scammer, we could also discover that he may be related to the group of scammers who believe in the evil **** [Prince of Lies], or simply believers of the evil god. Therefore, now it involves two things at once. A cult organization, may the sages bless us!"

　　 Like a complaint, he said the troubles in his heart all at once. Judging from the expression on his face, I can't wait to find out the criminals of this incident at one time, and then beat them up.

　　 "[The Prince of Lies]? The one related to the workers' riots the other day?"

　　 "Yes, that's why this matter is so troublesome."

Sighing, Slybin looked at the smoke in the sky: "The scammers are very resistant to divination. Once they are involved, the divination will always be directed in the wrong direction. The church can only contact the police station and summon those Professionals such as detectives assist in the investigation. I am afraid this matter will be delayed for a long time. Blessed by the sage, the source of infection can be found quickly."

　　 The two were silent for a while, and prayed together. After drawing the holy emblem, Jenkins asked again:

　　 "Is there any effective way to distinguish the source of the gear germ infection? If not, a large-scale riot will break out in Nolan City sooner or later."

"The five Orthodox churches in Nolan City all have a few special items. Now the combat troops have become patrol troops... You don’t need to worry, this matter has little effect on the civilian staff. , But recently, don’t go to places with high crowds. Although those places have been strictly monitored, it’s better to be more cautious.”

The bearded man’s face was full of worries, “There must be enough staff here in the church, otherwise I will have to apply for field work. After all, I have been intruded twice by infidels in three months... It meant to let me heal, but my injury is no longer a problem."

　　 Jenkins didn't know how to pick it up, so he lowered his head and pretended to look at the seedlings in the flower garden. They are really good, but I just don’t know if they can survive the next winter.

　　 "Mr. Smith said that these plants generally take three-digit years to reach maturity."

　　 Seeing that Jenkins is interested, Schleich said.

　　 "Then I am afraid I can't see it anymore."

　　 Jenkins sighed softly that the life span of the gifted person below level 7 is the same as that of a mortal, but the body should be healthier, it is not a problem to live to the limit of life, and there will be no strange diseases in old age. Longevity can only be increased by crossing the eighth barrier. As for the increase, he didn't say in the book, he didn't know.

"Mr. Williams, I think I am more qualified to say this than you. Dad has come to the church to report your promotion to level 2. In the hundred-year history of the diocese, you are the fastest-promoted gifter. This is really wise. The blessing of the person!"

　　 "Thank you sage, you are a omnipotent excuse!"

　　 Jenkins smiled embarrassedly while saying violent things in his heart.

　　Schleich obviously thinks that Jenkins is modest.

Originally, he wanted to find out about the pirate king-destroyer Fermisch, but Mr. Schleich told Jenkins that this incident occurred in the dock area and the influence did not cover the entire city, so it belongs to [Ocean and Exploration] The church is responsible, and there is no new news from this church for the time being.

　　 The biggest worry now is that there is no real photo of Fermischau to look up. The [Ocean and Exploration] church has chased him for so many years. Although it already has a sketch portrait of his general appearance, there is a certain difference between it and his true appearance. Once Fermischau disguised and mixed into Nolan City, it was difficult for patrols to find his trace.

　　 Saying goodbye to the depressed Mr. Schleich, Jenkins once again went to the [Hall Library] under the church, followed the spiraling stone steps, and soon saw the guard in front of the bronze door.

　　 "Mr. Smith, is your rotation today?"

　　 He nodded as a greeting, and the secret guard Smith also nodded. He stretched out his right hand and pressed the gold pendant hanging on his chest, which looked like an eye. It flickered a few times, and there was no special reaction.

　　 "This is a countermeasure against the last time someone sneaked in in disguise."

　　 The old man slowly explained: "The black robe worn by the Cthulhu believer last time should be an unrecorded gift, otherwise it is impossible to conceal the warning ceremony circle and my eyes."

　　While talking, closing his eyes and turning around, the huge holy emblem on the [Vientiane Gate] shot out a beam of light that enveloped Jenkins, and then slowly dissipated.

　　 "What is this, warm?"

　　 Jenkins asked with a smile.

　　 "Double insurance."

　　He came this time to look for clues in criminal coins and Rocky language. As for the "Master of Deception", he didn't expect to find any materials in the library.

　　 I don't know if it was because of the promotion to the second level or because of the identity of the son, the secret guard told Jenkins that his current authority is 3, and he can open the first and second floors of the [Secret Track Library], but there is still a time limit.

The reason why 　　 cannot be elevated to the highest authority is because the deeper libraries contain many terrible knowledge that for the low-level gifters will collapse at a glance. The extraordinary power hidden in mysterious words, weird patterns or symbols, even the church cannot guarantee absolute security.

　　 Knowing that pets are not allowed in the library, the chocolate still plays in the courtyard outside. Jenkins glanced at his pocket watch. It was 3:30 in the afternoon. Maybe he could go and see what happened to Dad after he got out of the library.

　　 There is no difference in the decoration style of the first floor and the second floor of the library. If the width of the corridor had not been doubled, he would have thought it was the same place.

　　 took a deep breath, the candle burning in the chandelier was more expensive than burning gold pounds directly.

　　 "Perhaps taking a sip of the aroma of the mixed spices in the candles should be charged dozens of shillings."

　　 While thinking about the mess, he looked at the rows of bookshelves.

Section 165 Chapter 161 Handling of Shields

　　 No time was wasted. Like last time, Jenkins first looked for some occult books that are hard to find in the outside world. Dad once opened a long list of books for him, which were books he couldn't provide, and Jenkins had to go to the library to read them in person.

　　 Dad’s collection of books is also very rich, but obviously it can’t be compared with the church.

　　 Fortunately, he now has the [Book of Memories], and knowledge without mysterious power can be printed on the book at a glance. But he would not tell other people about this. After all, doing so would be suspected of stealing knowledge from the library.

　　 Although the contract signed at the time of entry guarantees that Jenkins Williams cannot divulge the secrets of the church to others.

　　 The second level of the library is not as convenient as the first level as a general catalog of book compilations. All the books are grouped together according to categories. The church’s book classification is very complicated, and it takes a lot of time to fully understand it. This can be regarded as a new subject.

　　 The long stone brick corridor seems to have no end, and it is impossible to estimate how many books are there.

　　 The target can not be found in the first level catalog, so I hope it is still here.
