New Gods of North America

When Inesa came out of the small room next to the church hall,

Seeing Roose Bolton standing and talking with Wayne, he was also a little surprised.

Then the other party said that if Wayne and Inessa made up their minds, they could come back to him anytime.

The two of them left St. Freeman's Cathedral first.

After leaving the church, the carriage went a little further away.

Wayne then roughly repeated to the two of them what Roose Bolton had said to him before.

Inissa was immediately confused:

"When you fulfilled your request to him, why did you mention that I should follow you to the East Coast?"

Wayne thought about it:

"You are the 'old hunter' who introduced me to this industry. It would be best if we could continue to work together.

"Or if you want to go somewhere else, that's fine too. Anyway, my previous 'request', plus we're cooperating with him on an investigation, if I can get you a chance to choose your work location at will, I think it's worth it."

According to Wayne's understanding,

Not to mention that Inesa is now "serving her sentence outside prison", even for a serious prison guard, it should be quite rare to have a chance to adjust the work location at will.

There seems to be no reason not to fight for it.

Lina nodded beside her. "Yes, yes, I can help with this matter. Since we rarely meet again in the New World, we should try to act together. And the pastor behind him seems to be quite trustworthy. I think it seems worth a gamble."

Inissa was silent for a while, and finally she looked at the two of them and agreed:

"In that case, let's go back and find him."

…

There is a saying that goes something like this:

"Power is like real estate. Location is everything. The closer to the 'center', the more valuable it is."

Although Wayne knew before that Roose Bolton was the head of the exorcism department in Kankers City,

But Wayne's impression of him is still that of a middle-aged man who follows Pastor Tywin and works diligently like a "butler".

Until Wayne and Inessa, led by the monks of the church, passed through the heavy guards,

Walk into the deep inner core of St. Freeman's Cathedral, a historic and magnificent cathedral.

After entering the other party's spacious and elegantly decorated independent office,

Wayne's heart finally developed a more intuitive sense of the other person's identity and the power he possessed.

Sloppy...

I have a big office in the cathedral that looks unusual.

This guy is actually a "big shot".

Just walking to his office,

Wayne, the "Fallen", felt as if he had a bit of altitude sickness, as if he was being suffocated by something in the church.

Roose Bolton arrived a little later than Wayne and Inissa after receiving the notification from the guards.

Then he stepped on the thick carpet in the room,

Walked to the large desk in the office and picked up a file.

He turned around and hesitated for a moment.

He looked around at Wayne and Inissa, as if hesitating about who to give the thing to.

Wayne saw that Inessa had no intention of reaching out.

He spread out his palm and reached forward to receive it.

Roose Bolton nodded slightly, then handed over the file:

“You two, the information we have verified so far is all in the files.

“You can’t take it away, but you can take a look here before leaving and start investigating based on the clues.

"Although you two are assisting in the investigation, you are not necessarily required to produce any results. But obviously, no matter what, you must keep the contents of the file confidential."

Wayne is a bit concerned about procedural matters:

“I have a question, in what capacity should we conduct the investigation?

"Even if I'm still the sheriff, I have no law enforcement power outside the town. And the identity of 'bounty hunter' seems to be unrecognized by the law in Missouri, which is no longer part of the 'West'."

Roose Bolton thought for a moment and said, "I can sign an investigation warrant for you two, but I will need to take it back afterwards. But in principle, it is best for you to conduct the investigation in your personal capacity and try not to use it unless there is a conflict with law enforcement agencies."

hiss……

It sounds like something is not right.

But at this time, there is no need to rush into the details.

Then Wayne took the two signed investigation warrants and was invited to the meeting room next door with Inissa to start looking through the files.

There was also a monk nearby, who would come over from time to time to add some tea that would irritate their throats.

It feels like both attentive service and polite supervision.

Wayne originally thought that

The two investigation warrants signed by Roose Bolton were one for him and one for Inessa.

But a quick look reveals that

The name of the investigator was not written on it, but it was directly issued to two "departments" - the Kansas City Police Department in Missouri, and the church guard force responsible for the entire Kansas City.

I really underestimated him before...

Just two investigation warrants with his signature were enough to get the two "law enforcement" departments to release the person. In the city, he would definitely be considered one of the most powerful people.

Wayne was made uncomfortable by the invisible pressure deep inside the church.

So after both of them looked through the files, they took the investigation order and left.

The monks led him out of the church.

The two of them went to the vicinity of the church to look for the carriage and Lina - she still disliked churches as always and would avoid them if possible.

Wayne used to think she was a little too vigilant.

After this "altitude sickness", Wayne realized that Lina's behavior was a sign of rich experience.

…

I found a pretty good hotel and booked a suite.

After putting their luggage away, they asked the waiter to bring some food and then took a short rest.

In fact, there are already so-called "hotels" these days.

However, the hotels at that time were not the purely commercial hotels of later generations. They were basically concentrated in prosperous big cities and only received people of "status".

For example, someone in the political circle or a certain state, someone in the church, a certain title in a certain country, etc.

Otherwise, you must at least be a "member" associated with the hotel, or be arranged and introduced by a local big shot.

It is not necessarily that rich people cannot live here.

But it will be a bit more troublesome and may cost more.

There are also a few "hotels" in the city of Kankers. If you show the investigation warrant given by Roose Bolton, you may be able to stay there.

However, the hotel where Wayne and his friends were currently staying was pretty good, so he just asked for a suite.

Generally, those who stay in suites in hotels are relatively wealthy families, or a "master and servant" combination.

So Wayne and Inesa and Lina, plus Parker who is like a good servant,

Although it seems a little rare, it is not particularly noticeable.

Then, a few people began to consider what to do.
