The warden who guards the witches

Rose Iron Prison, reception desk.

"Aidan Garrod? Huh?" Prison guard Isabella looked at the name on the meeting application form and raised her face in surprise, "Little sister, are you... going to see the warden?"

The girl outside the window looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a wheat-colored complexion, and it was unlikely that she was a relative of her boss from her ethnicity - and Isabella had never heard of any relatives of Aiden.

"Yes." The girl smiled calmly and nodded, exuding a steadiness that was inconsistent with her appearance.

"This... I don't think I've seen such an appointment. Excuse me, are you a relative or friend of the warden? What do you want to see him for?" Isabella asked.

"It's like this, Mr. Garrod placed an order in our store before, and we finished the work here, but he never came to the store to settle the bill, so I came here to inform him in person according to the contact address." The girl said in an orderly manner.

"Huh? So that's it..."

Isabella was a little confused for a moment. It is not convenient for prison guards to leave their posts during their duty. If there is any personal matter during work, unless it is a more urgent situation, in principle, they are not allowed to leave their posts to deal with it, so generally they will not reserve the work unit as the contact address for businesses.

However, the warden basically does not need to be on duty in person. Considering that he often stays in the prison from morning to night to handle prison work, it is understandable that he would change the contact address here.

"Then I... ask someone to notify the warden, little sister, your unit--"

Isabella had just asked halfway when the door behind her was opened.

"Isabella, I brought the new register and ink from the logistics department for you." Veronica brought in a stack of notebooks and a bottle of ink.

"Ah, thank you." Isabella turned around, "Ah, you're just in time. There's a kid here who wants to see the warden. Can you help me ask him?"

"To see the chief?" Veronica looked out the window and couldn't help but make a surprised sound: "Eh? Who is this little girl?"

"Can this officer see Mr. Garrod directly?" The girl looked at Veronica.

"Yes, what do you want to see him for?" Veronica stepped forward.

"Hello, officer. Can you help me talk to Mr. Garrod and tell him that the order I placed on Sunset Boulevard is ready. Can I see him? I still need to settle the bill with him." The girl waved her hand and said politely.

"Then which store are you from?" Veronica asked carefully.

The girl looked into Veronica's eyes and smiled-Veronica suddenly felt a palpitation for no reason, and subconsciously wanted to avoid the other's gaze, as if that gaze could penetrate her heart.

It was really strange. In the past, only when she stared at those guilty prisoners, they would subconsciously avoid her gaze like this.

She immediately turned her eyes back. The girl's expression did not change at all, and she seemed not to notice her eye evasion just now.

"Tell Mr. Garrod that my name is Melissa, and he will understand." "Girl" Melissa said with a smile.

At this time, in the warden's office, Aiden was reading a letter.

"We have discovered a religious group in the territory, called the Renaissance Society, which borrowed the banner of the national religion in the southern part of the continent. The pope of the group performed a miracle in public, allowing a mother to believe in the old gods, endure illness, and then healed the dying baby on the spot. The pope's identity is unknown, and he always wears a mask when preaching in front of people. We are asking informants to follow up the investigation.

There is still no news from Professor Dodge."

After reading the contents of the letter and writing them down, Aiden quickly tore the letter and other discarded documents into pieces and threw them into the trash can.

These days, he has made considerable progress by insisting on chatting with He Luo. He has already gained a fairly in-depth understanding of the intelligence of the "hatred" power.

The "miracle" mentioned in the letter can be easily achieved with the "sacrifice" power. The disease of the baby can be transferred to the mother. With the same disease, the adult naturally has a better chance of surviving than the baby.

"Sacrifice" is actually a very terrible power. It can be used to accumulate absolutely loyal believers, and then these believers can take the damage on behalf of the power holder at a critical moment. Using religion to accumulate faith and recruit more fanatics, the "hatred" power can exert its greatest power. In this way, Mr. Bloody Clothes is more likely to form a cult.

The Royal Secret Police is very efficient. They have already identified the folk cults that may be manipulated by Mr. Bloody Clothes and sent informants to infiltrate.

Although Professor Dodge has not been found yet, as long as it is confirmed that this cult is Mr. Bloody Clothes' tool to serve himself, then at least the progress in this regard will not be too backward.

Aiden thought for a while, got up and left the office, ready to go to the confinement room. As soon as he opened the door, he met Veronica and almost bumped into her.

"Ah, sir!" Veronica reacted suddenly, took a step back, and saluted in a panic.

Aiden was stunned for a moment. With Veronica's hearing, she should have heard him walk from the inside of the office to the door.

But he didn't say anything about it, but nodded: "Is there anything you want to say?"

Veronica told Aiden everything about the reception desk.

"Melissa?" Aiden gasped when he heard the name.

"Yes, you... you have an impression of this, right?" Veronica asked cautiously.

Of course Aiden couldn't forget this name. Combined with the description of her appearance, the girl who appeared at the reception desk must be Melissa, the owner of "Phantom Moon".

Aiden hadn't seen Melissa for a while. He only met Melifilia twice to confirm the shelter situation, talked about some intelligence, and played a few games of chess. Melifilia didn't urge him to find a fortune teller.

The progress of obtaining the divine words has been progressing smoothly (although I don't know how much Melissa is behind the scenes), so he didn't take the initiative to find Melissa. After the goddess of vengeance woke up, Aiden had to stay in prison with the "Wordless Code" temporarily to prevent Hero from committing a crime, but correspondingly, he couldn't use the "Wordless Code" to control Melissa's mind-reading ability.

So before properly handling Hero's affairs, he couldn't appear directly in front of Melissa - the other party would know directly about the resurrection of the goddess of vengeance.

I didn't expect that this goddess would come to visit in person, which really caught people off guard.

"Tell her a message and ask her to go back to the store and wait. I'll have someone send the wages directly to her. It's not convenient for me to see customers now." Aiden waved his hand.

"Okay." Veronica did not make any comments and turned to the reception desk.

But she stopped after only two steps.
