Trafford’s Trading Club

After a while, Father Stella walked out expressionlessly carrying a plate of burnt fish.

Vasco, who was as big as two Father Stellas, was stroking a dozing golden blouse, showing an expression of enjoyment.

"Tear off the burnt part on the outside. The inside is still edible." Vasco looked at the failed dish in front of him indifferently, then reached out to pick it up and eat it. "I never choose food. This is the secret of longevity."

This guy is still so healthy at the age of ninety-six. Naturally, he has a secret, but it's obviously not because he doesn't choose food...

Father Stella took off his apron and sat down. After pouring himself a glass of water, he slowly said: "The holy relics of Pechoers Monastery have been taken away for more than half a year. I am very curious about the Holy Church." It is actually tolerated until now. This makes me have to wonder whether this holy relic is a fake made by a big country."

"Some things have happened in the Holy Church recently." Vasco stopped petting the cat and said seriously: "We have been unable to listen to the gospel of the Lord for a long time."

"What's going on?" Father Stella frowned directly.

Vasco shook his head and said: "I don't know... Even a group of holy petitioners who were originally intended to be sent to heaven are now stranded in the Holy Land. This is probably the first case since the birth of the Holy Church... Now, There are many voices within the Holy Church... You know, Stella, I have never been very interested in this kind of fight."

Father Stella was noncommittal, "What was lost was the holy relic, not something else... When did the fight between factions become more important than the holy relic?"

"Stella." Vasco came closer at this time and whispered: "Speculation is just a speculation... We speculate that something may have happened in heaven that you and I can't imagine. In the past six months, the Holy Church has There are many things happening inside, far more than you imagine...and all of this seems to be related to the sudden disappearance of the soul of a petitioner last year. In Russia, she was a devout believer with A pure soul is a rare quality in recent years. But after her death, her soul was not received. This matter attracted the attention of the angels in heaven who were responsible for receiving them, and they sent angels to investigate... This matter A young priest was involved in the matter, and it was this young priest who the Lord Angel interrogated."

"What's the problem with this?" Father Stella said angrily: "Apart from the problem, why does the interrogation of suspects involve the Black Order?"

"Here's the key." Vasco thought for a moment and said, "The angel couldn't get the answer out of the young priest's mouth... but because the time of arrival was almost over, it had to return. But its front foot Just after leaving, the monastery was immediately attacked by the Black Order. Then the holy relics were taken away and the entire monastery was killed. The Black Order even asked their priests to pretend to be people from the monastery... Guess what happened next What happened?"

"I guess if you don't hurry up, you won't have dinner tonight." Father Stella said calmly.

Vasco blew his beard and stared for a while, then said: "When the angel responsible for the investigation came again, it was attacked by people from the Holy Church pretending to be the Black Order...death!"

Father Stella's expression changed slightly.

Vasco said in a deep voice: "Stella, an Advent Angel, died in the human world...and she died under the careful plan of the Black Order, which is hostile to the Holy Church. This shame is undoubtedly a loud slap in the face. , slapped those high-level officials in the church hard on the face, and then they learned that the holy relics had also been lost, and then they couldn’t contact heaven.”

"Where is the young priest involved in the case?" Father Stella suddenly asked.

"This is the strange place." Vasco thought for a while and said: "According to the investigation, this priest was born in Pejols Monastery. His godfather is called Moji, who is also an ascetic monk in the monastery. But when the Holy Church The investigation team arrived, and among the many corpses dug up, the body of this young priest was not found... But according to the records at the time, this young priest, during the time when the Black Order invaded the monastery, He should be in the stage of being imprisoned... However, after the Black Order successfully killed the angel and left, the young priest also mysteriously disappeared."

"He may know what happened." Father Stella frowned: "Perhaps, when the Black Repair attacked the monastery, he took advantage of the chaos and escaped... No, if he escaped, he should be the first to do so. The best thing to do is notify the nearest church to request support. There is absolutely no way it can be delayed until the investigation team appears. Could it be... a rebellion?"

"This is the greatest possibility." Vasco said seriously: "Even the news about the holy relics in the monastery was leaked by this young priest. He is more likely to be a collaborator of the Black Order's invasion of the monastery - of course, This is all speculation unless we can find him."

"Moji..." Father Stella said thoughtfully: "I have heard of him, the ascetic monk of Pejols. His character is enough to be remembered. If he is his godson, he should also be a man of firm faith. .”

"Listen, Stella." Vasco said in a deep voice: "I hope more than anyone else that there is no traitor among us! One Ammonst is enough to bring shame to us! But even if he left shamefully The embrace of the Lord, but at least he chose the Knight Agency in the end and did not do evil... But if this young priest has colluded with the Black Order, it must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

Father Stella suddenly sneered: "If that's the case, I will also be the one to shame you. You have come to the wrong place."

Vasco took a deep breath and said: "Stella, when Ammonster left the church because of his child who fell in love with a vampire, you who were responsible for intercepting him finally let him go. I don't blame you... you have already apologized, Spreading the glory of our Lord in this remote place for twenty years is enough to atone for my sins... This time I came here from the Holy Church, one of my purposes is to take you back."

Stella said indifferently: "I'm just a bad old man who dozes off when preaching to believers even a week. What can I do... You see, I'm so clumsy that I can even burn grilled fish. .”

"The Holy Church needs you, Stella." Vasco said earnestly.

Father Stella lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Jin Jiange, who was begging for sex at his feet, and said calmly: "Brother Tom needs me too."

"Can't you just take your cat back with you?" Vasco frowned.

Father Stella shook his head and said: "No, it will not adapt to the climate, and it cannot be separated from the bench in the confessional of the church here, otherwise it will not sleep."

"I'll help you carry the confessional back to the confessional!"

Father Stella added: "No, except for the vegetables grown in the garden here, Tom will not eat any other vegetables."

"You told me cats like to eat vegetables...Okay! I'll carry this yard back too!" Vasco's forehead was slightly exposed.

Father Stella still shook his head and said: "The air is not good either. If we leave here, Tom Cruise will refuse to breathe and will die."

"Old guy, please stop it..." Vasco almost gritted his teeth as he spoke, and a majestic holy power flowed through his muscles that seemed to be made of steel.

Father Stella said calmly: "There are still a few knights from the knight organization guarding here. Although they are just insignificant little knights, you don't care at all. Well... even if the twelve knights come, you definitely won't I will care about it. But if it attracts the attention of the entire knight organization, I guess you still...oh, Vasco, I know you can keep your composure."

Vasco stood up directly, "I will come again, and I will live here these days. Stella, I still say the same thing, these are troubled times, the Holy Church needs you, and the Mighty Prison needs you even more. "

"But I don't need you."

"snort!"

Vasco pushed the door open angrily.

Father Stella shook his head, and then began to clear the table, but at this time, Tom ran out and jumped to the edge of the window, shouting non-stop.

Father Stella did not look back, and just said calmly: "You must be hungry too, come and clean up and get ready to eat. I know you haven't eaten enough in the past few days, so you did a little more today. But what happened just now? The guy who was going to stay for dinner left, so you can get some more.”

Outside the window, Mai Lada stood up with a cold face. He didn't leave the door, but turned directly in through the window, keeping his eyes locked on Father Stella.

The priest smiled slightly and brought out a lot of food from the kitchen... As if nothing had happened, he carried Tom to the table and fed him some milk.

"You just..." Mai Lada finally couldn't help her curiosity and spoke tentatively.

"Pulin sent you to me. I didn't ask anything and I didn't plan to ask anything." Father Stella smiled.

Mai Lada snorted lightly, lowered his head and started eating frantically.

"Happy dining." Stella smiled slightly, and then made a sign of the cross on her chest, "Amen."

…

…

After sending some condolences to Mai Lada, Teacher Pulin quickly came to the hospital in the town.

He now comes here once a day, and every time he comes, he brings some fresh soil, goes into the intensive care unit, and applies it to Mr. Smith and his wife Debra who are here.

Today too.

Mr. Smith seemed to be asleep, lying on the edge of his wife Debra's hospital bed - the man was probably becoming more and more exhausted day by day.

The wife has been unconscious at this time, and the missing son Joe has not been found yet... These terrible things have long made this man who should have been the most energetic look full of exhaustion on his face.

If the doctor who came to make rounds every day hadn't told him that the fetus his wife was carrying was still healthy, Mr. Smith probably wouldn't have been able to persist until now.

Teacher Pulin stood aside, quietly watching the troubled couple... From unknown time on, he seemed to have had a bad relationship with Mr. Smith's family.

He has been traveling around various places, with no fixed residence and no purpose... This small town is the first place where he has lived for more than half a year.

This place always gives him a special feeling.

He felt as if he knew Mr. Smith's family...especially the moment when he and Mr. Smith's family met for the first time - the scene of the car accident.

This ordinary family that should have died in the car accident miraculously survived because of his arrival - that time was the first time in Pulin's life that he did something that violated the rules of nature.

He couldn't tell exactly why - maybe there was some meaning behind it.

That's why he decided to live down and become a member of the town, just like an ordinary person. Maybe he would understand something after contacting this family?

Teacher Pring looked at Mrs. Debra's belly.

The child is already several weeks old, and a new life is waiting in the mother's body to finally emerge from the cocoon.

He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Mrs. Debra's belly... through the patient's clothes, the quilt, and his own white gloves - in the end, there was no real come across.

"joe! joe!"

Mr. Smith, who was asleep, suddenly called out the name of his missing child in his dream... Teacher Pulin retracted his palm instantly.

Mr. Smith woke up from his dream and looked around the ward. As always, only his sleeping wife was still lying on the bed.

"Has anyone been here just now?"

Mr. Smith glanced at the cabinet next to the hospital bed and found that there was an extra thing here at some point... Mr. Smith opened it and found that most of the things in the food bag were things he liked to eat on weekdays.

Probably some caring person... Mr. Smith thought to himself: Everyone in the town has always been getting along very harmoniously.

His mood seemed to be somewhat better. Mr. Smith slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then took his wife's hand out of the quilt and wiped it gently.

…

"Is it an illusion..."

In front of the hospital, Vasco, who had left the church, suddenly stopped and looked hesitantly at the small hospital in the small town in front of him - at that moment, he seemed to smell something unusual.

The smell of dead bodies...but the smell quickly disappeared, and he could only smell the fragrance of earth.

Vasco couldn't help but shook his head and left quickly.

Not long after, Vasco came to the door of an apartment... He opened the door and walked in.

At this time, when the two men and two women in the apartment saw Vasco come in, they immediately stood up with their chests raised and their heads raised, not daring to take a breath... Vasco glanced at these four young men and women. They were all knights of the Holy Church. An outstanding member of the Paladin Reserves - Obviously, he came to the town this time for other things besides looking for Father Stella.
