Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age

Chapter 91 Try it or die!

Outside the gate of the Secret Adjustment Department, a gorgeous ceremonial stage was specially built. The stage was covered with silk embroidered with the symbols of the Church of the Dawn, which looked gorgeous and sacred.

The ceremony stage was surrounded by people watching the ceremony, including Custer City Council officials, nobles and civilians. Most of their expressions were full of enthusiasm and anticipation.

"...Thank you all again for coming. Next, I would like to invite the candidate for Saint of Dawn Church—Miss Carly Morris!"

grass,

When Wayne heard the concluding remarks of Deputy Speaker Harrington of the Custer City-State Council, his mood suddenly changed.

Shouldn't the identity of a saint candidate be extremely secretive and something that needs to be carefully kept secret?

Why is it announced to everyone?

In this way, wouldn't the fact that he passed on wrong information to the liaison officer be exposed?

Really...

But perhaps he was only in a bad mood at this time. The expressions on the faces of most of the believers who were worshiping outside had already become extremely fanatical, and they kept shouting: "Praise the dawn, Saint Carly..."

As the melodious hymn of Dawn Church sounded, these people suddenly became quiet again, becoming solemn and solemn, as if the previous enthusiasm was just a kind of praise.

At this time, a gorgeous carriage slowly drove into the Natoli neighborhood and stopped in front of the ceremony stage.

The carriage was hung with a flag representing the Dawn Church, the door opened, and Carly Morris walked out slowly.

She wore a gorgeous white dress, dotted with golden patterns, which highlighted her nobility and sanctity.

On her head was a gorgeous crown, with a gleaming emblem of the Church of the Dawn composed of precious stones.

[Because your spiritual level is greater than 40, you have successfully resisted the erosion of the power of Dawn's faith. Rating: Be careful... Special rewards: +5 survival points, +1 spiritual level. 】

Wei En's heart trembled. The panel gave him an evaluation of being careful?

Be careful about what and whom?

Is there something wrong with this power of dawn faith?

But at this time, he didn't dare to move at all, because his position was not far from the edge of the ceremony stage.

According to the notice issued by the top management of the Secret Adjustment Department, he would follow Lacey and others to the ceremony stage and wait to greet Carly.

Not only that, Bishop Andrews will also send blessings to them.

"What's wrong, Wayne?" Lacey next to him noticed his strange movement and whispered: "Keep on holding on, the ceremony will be over when we get off the stage."

"Um."

Wei En didn't dare to say more. The ceremony stage was surrounded by people from the Dawn Church and the Secret Adjustment Department, as well as senior officials from the Custer City State, and... guards.

Among these people, there are many powerful extraordinary beings.

Even before he came to the ceremony stage, the screen on the panel was already frantically refreshed. There were hundreds of mental perception scans alone.

Although this brings him a lot of survival points, it also shows that in such an occasion, there must be no abnormal behavior, otherwise the end will be tragic...

"We welcome below the Church of Dawn, the City State of Castor, Bishop Andrews Herzog, and the Director of the Mysterious Events Investigation Department of the City State of Castor, Ales Coulibaly..."

As Carly walked onto the stage, Deputy Speaker Harrington loudly invited the two protagonists, Alais and Andrews, to come to the stage and bless her together.

It also represents the grandest part of the welcome ceremony.

"The night will pass, but the dawn will last forever."

"May the light of the Lord of the Dawn shine on the world forever, and may everything be beautiful in the world..."

The priests guarding around the ceremony platform lowered their heads and sang hymns, and the dawn light on their bodies began to rise, like light bulbs.

And further away, those Dawn believers holding the covenant also sang along.

It seems that this is not a welcome ceremony, but a grand ceremony held by Dawn Church to praise the dawn...

[Because your spiritual level is greater than 60, you have successfully resisted the erosion of the power of dawn's faith. Evaluation: Faith is gathering and the ceremony is going on. Special rewards: +10 survival points, +1 spiritual level. 】

[Because your spiritual level is greater than 80, you have successfully resisted the erosion of the power of Dawn's faith. Comment: Be careful, His gaze is coming. Special rewards: +10 survival points, +1 spiritual level, +1 toughness level. 】

Him? ?

The ominous premonition in Wei En's heart became even stronger. Couldn't it be Orpheus, the Lord of the Dawn, that was mentioned on the panel?

If Orpheus really came over, there would probably be a major change in the welcome ceremony.

At this moment, Carly accepted the blessing, turned to look at the people in the audience, her eyes were clear, and she said gently: "Praise Dawn, thank you..."

As she spoke, a holy light bloomed on her body.

[You are in the place where Dawn Faith is stored. Because your spiritual level is greater than 100, you have successfully resisted the erosion of Dawn Faith. Special rewards: Survival Points +15, Spirit Level +2, Resilience Level +2. 】

【……】

Has it formed a place where faith is stored?

At this time, the people closest to Carly, whether they were the Secret Adjustment Department, the city guards, or the nobles, all had more or less pious expressions on their faces.

Even Carly and others next to Wayne began to see changes in their faces...

"enough!"

A loud shout sounded from the ceremony stage, interrupting Carly's singing, and at the same time, the dawn light on her body also stopped for a moment.

Everyone in the audience could not help but be stunned, especially those Dawn believers whose eyes gradually became fanatical, and stared at the troublemaker with eyes full of hatred.

Um?

Bishop Andrews on the stage, Deputy Speaker of Parliament Harrington, and many prominent nobles and city-state leaders all looked at the person who interrupted the candidate saint's speech - Ales Coulibaly.

"Ales, you..."

"Andrews, the welcome ceremony is not a grand ceremony for your Dawn Church,"

Alais's eyes were cold, and he pressed towards Carly with a mountain-like aura, "This is not the occasion for you to preach your faith, do you understand?"

Andrews' face darkened, "Ales, are you sure you want to stop..."

"You are wrong," Alais raised his hand to interrupt him, "I was already blocking him!"

Carly looked flustered and looked at them blankly, wondering what she had done wrong?

Others on the stage were even more at a loss. They all knew Alais' temper. They thought that today was just a formality, but they didn't expect that this person was even unwilling to cooperate with the formality?

"Ales, um, can you finish the ceremony first?"

Among the people present, only Harrington, the deputy speaker representing the city-state parliament, had the highest status. He carefully organized the vocabulary: "Today, almost half of the city-state is here. You are like this..."

"Finished? Humph!"

Alais took a step forward, passed Carly and faced everyone in the audience, "I declare that the celebration is over, and the Secret Mixing Department very much welcomes Miss Carly to join."

"At the same time, we will do our best to eradicate the heretics and people with bad intentions hidden in the city-state."

"With that, thank you all for coming!"

After saying that, he didn't care about other people's attitudes and walked straight to the audience.

As he passed by the people in the Secret Adjustment Department, his cold voice passed on: "The celebration is over, what are you still doing here?"

"If you feel relaxed, there are many guys in the detention area who can provide you with entertainment..."

"What the Director-General said is, ministers, take your people back."

Deputy Director Balaz took his words with a headache on his face and waved his hand for them to leave quickly, otherwise something more terrifying might happen.

The other senior officials of the Secret Transfer Department, as well as the heads of various departments, looked as if they were not surprised. This is what a director should look like.

I honestly agreed to participate in this celebration before, but it was obvious that the director's brain had a short-circuit...

Wei En couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw this. The increasingly serious evaluation content on the panel just now scared him to death.

If Alais hadn't interrupted, he might have turned his attention.

[The power of Dawn’s faith dissipates. Comment: Fortunately, you are still you. Special rewards: survival point +1, origin +1. 】

You should really be happy...

But in such a dangerous time, is it too inappropriate for you to just give me 1 survival point?

"Let's go."

Lacey took one last look at Carly on the stage, shook her head and said, "It seems that the induction ceremony for our new colleague was a bit rough."

Marco said sympathetically: "Indeed, but she is so beautiful, she shouldn't..."

boom,

"Keep your attention on business!"

Wei En took Tina's hand and left together.

Lacey and the others didn't know the reason for Alais's interruption, but he knew it very well.

This is to prevent the arrival of the Holy Family of Dawn, and to save countless non-believers in Dawn.

Therefore, he has no sympathy for Carly.

Just like what was said on the panel, if things are allowed to develop, maybe he will no longer be who he is now...

As for the role that Carly, as the celebration bishop, plays in it, it is also not what he cares about now.

What he cares more about is that there must be something more important hidden behind this celebration!

After everyone from the Secret Mixing Department left, the welcome ceremony specially held for Carly could only end hastily.

Deputy Speaker Harrington announced a little apologetically: "Thank you very much for coming. Under the light of dawn, I hope that Your Excellency Carly will have a pleasant time in the Secret Adjustment Division."

"At the same time, we also wish her success in becoming one of the saints of Dawn Church. Now I would like to invite Bishop Andrews..."

Andrews' expression has returned to its former peace, as if the departure of Alais and others just now was just a small episode.

After speaking the formula-like blessing in an unusually calm manner, he directed the clergymen belonging to the church to lead the surrounding believers away.

"What is this? How could the great Dawn be bullied by such a vulgar ominous person?"

"That's right, we have to punish him!"

"Yes, we can't let him go like this..."

These fanatical believers felt humiliated.

This feeling that they had already felt the call of dawn and were looking forward to the arrival of the Holy Family, but were suddenly interrupted, made each of them very angry.

But no matter what they said, those around who were not Dawn believers had already left the scene in a happy mood.

"I knew that Ales Coulibaly hated the church so much, why would he watch them jumping around in front of him? Sure enough..."

"That's right, I'm really happy to see such a scene, haha..."

There were also many people with heavy expressions on their faces, thinking about the subsequent impact of this incident, "I'm afraid the impact of today's incident will not be small."

"Well, that bishop is not a broad-minded person..."

"Go back first. This is not the place to talk. Those people haven't left yet."

…

Two hours have passed since the celebration ended, and the chapel of Krims Cathedral is still quiet and peaceful.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I..."

Carly looked extremely depressed and depressed, and even her gorgeous dress looked decadent.

"this is not your fault,"

Bishop Andrews comforted him gently: "You don't have to blame yourself, and don't be dissatisfied with what Alais did today. His temper has always been like this."

"But, I don't understand why he interrupted the ceremony?"

"This is probably a beautiful misunderstanding. Trust me, it's not your fault."

Carly was still confused, but her character had not been strong for a long time, so she just nodded, "Then, do I still need to go to the Secret Adjustment Department?"

"certainly,"

Bishop Andrews turned to look at the statue of the dawn, "Follow the guidance of the great dawn. There are many lost people in the Secret Service who need you to save them."

"After you complete this task, it's time to go to Kland to take over the crown of the Saint."

Carly nodded slightly, "Yeah."

"For us who are bathed in the light, all difficulties and setbacks are just tests for us. Only if you solve them can you get closer to the dawn."

"I know what to do, teacher."

"Go ahead, kid."

Carly bowed her head and turned to leave.

After a long time, Bishop Andrews looked at the statue calmly and said slowly: "The plan failed, what else do you have planned?"

Melbell's figure appeared quietly, "No more."

"Just give up like that?"

Bishop Andrews looked at him, "Originally, I hoped that with the help of the holy family again, she could ascend to the position of a saint, receive the crown of dawn, and guide more people to accept the baptism of dawn, but now..."

"It's just a matter of time," Melbell said calmly: "Fate has already turned a page, and no one can stop it."

"That's good……"

"Thank you very much for your help this time. Leave the rest to me."

Andrews pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I hope you can take good care of her. She is really a truly devout believer."

"Well, I know this better than anyone else."

After saying that, Melbell quietly disappeared, leaving only Andrews alone, standing quietly in this place of concern at dawn.

…

But in the Secret Adjustment Department, it was as if nothing happened. Everyone performed their duties and did whatever they were supposed to do.

But from the way they talked in low voices from time to time, it was not difficult to find that they were all very concerned about what happened during the ceremony.

But this had nothing to do with Wayne, who was looking at Lacey with a headache.

Well, it literally means that his head hurts... There are bruises on both eye sockets, the swelling has blocked his vision, and there are several more bumps on his head.

"I'm very happy that you can take the initiative to invite me to compete."

Lacey stood opposite him with an excited face, without any weapons in his hands, only wearing a pair of gloves, "This will be a fight you will never forget."

Wayne: "..."

Oh no, this is simply a monster in human skin.

Without being able to use a musket to attack, he had no way to cause harm to Lacey.

"Okay, the warm-up is over, I allow you to use weapons, try again."

"you sure?"

"Of course, you wouldn't think..."

Bang, bang...

Before she could finish her words, Wei En had already drawn his musket and fired a series of bullets...

Try it and die!

You must not die, Sister Lacey!

There are only two chapters today, 8,000 words.

Well, I have a fever... I have to wait for more updates...
