"She always comes to trouble me." Agatha couldn't help but complain after closing the back door and locking it. "For God's sake, I don't want to pay attention to her at all, and I'm not willing to compete with this kind of person for the headlines of Huancheng Daily."
You might be willing to do it with someone else. Uriel waved to Witek, who was watching the surroundings not far away, and motioned for him to go around to another street and meet again. There were no blocking obstacles near the Public Security Bureau, so it was best for them to take a detour.
"I think she must have done it on purpose." Apprentice Zheng was so confused about the upcoming trip to the church that he had no intention of listening to her talk about the inexplicable grievances between the two women. "Just when we made the decision. Now we can only sneak in."
After Minerva repeatedly asked Agatha to find a necklace for her, McCann Johnny just wanted to drive this savage woman out as soon as possible. He was very self-aware of his abilities and asked the detective for help. Now Agatha is not only responsible for the case of the church and the priest, but also has to find time to deal with the unreasonable Minerva.
The detective lady was very angry about this. Obviously Chief Johnny will not approve her application for negotiation. The vegetable sheriff just wants to put an end to the matter. The church's plans and truth are none of his business - in the final analysis, the Public Security Bureau has no right to bargain with the church, and the Affairs Department must come forward in this matter.
It had been a long time since he came to the tower, and it was impossible to say that Uriel didn't have a general idea of the mysterious world of Knox. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also has knowledge courses, which are handled by Sauron the Ring.
The Church of Gaia is not like the Council of Light in that their influence is reflected in mortals. Even so, they have their place among the seven pivots. Sauron told Uriel that the School of Silence is a mysterious organization composed of Gaia believers. It was a religious force that advocated asceticism and secrecy, and had a very in-depth study of magic spells. Its full members, however, are rarely seen.
"A strange and solitary group of ascetics," the ring wrote, "these people call themselves wizards, but you have to distinguish them from witches."
It only had time to say so much, because Uriel then began to ask about the witch's story. At that time, the apprentice had just been freed from the Broken Moon Incident.
The appearance of the Secretariat is good for solving the mystery, but it is quite bad for the unknown person. Wittek was not even willing to enter the church headquarters. It is difficult to imagine what kind of mood he had in maintaining a good relationship with Father Fielding. No matter what, the magic lock must have contributed a lot, he thought to himself. But this reason does not work in front of uninformed people like Agatha.
Fortunately, McCann Johnny was very helpful. The vegetable police officer spoke plausibly and kept emphasizing that the believers who had obtained the truth might be so excited that they would commit a few more murders. Even Witek could see that this was actually because the war conflicted with his planned Shrove Day holiday.
The overt investigation was rejected, and they had no choice but to conduct a secret visit. Agatha quickly threw the clue of the lost object on Hobson's head, and finally got rid of Minerva's entanglement. She thought that this criminal who dared to use a patrolman as a bodyguard should be given a taste of pain, and no one objected this time.
"Let that woman go to hell." The detective lady said decisively, "I will not help her find a pearl, even if she gives the necklace to the saint. After all, what should she do with her master before giving it away? What do pearls have to do with the church?”
"We are about to collect...criminal evidence against the church. By then, Miss Benfen will probably have to try her best to cut off contact with them." Uriel told her not to worry about the opera singer anymore. "I have never been to the headquarters of the Gaia Church, but I know that both the tower and Blumnot have extraordinary defense measures. The difficulty of sneaking into the church is also evident. You have a way-"
"Lend me your coat of arms," said the detective.
"Uh, what?"
"The emblem of the sky, the one given to you by the White Envoy. I know it is in your hand."
I don't even know. "You guessed wrong." Uriel said truthfully.
"No, he must have left it to you. I have also heard about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Even if it is just for appearance, the White Envoy will not participate in the Fire Trial. He will definitely let you attend on his behalf."
Uriel was speechless. The Crest of the Sky is a more important mystical item than the Ring, as the latter is mostly used internally. When a new apprentice comes to the tower for further training, the emblem of the sky will naturally come in handy. But Joey never gave him a coat of arms, and even the news of attending on his behalf was told to him by Gissing. Maybe the messenger was angry at my "partial subject" results. He got the point right away. But it doesn't help.
"In fact, my mentor didn't give me anything... wait." Uriel took out the frost blade and looked at it carefully. A familiar coat of arms with a gold star pattern on a dark blue background is embedded in the hoarfrost sword blade. "You guessed it right." He corrected himself.
The detective lady took the sword and weighed it. "It's too heavy," she commented. "It looks like we're going to take the raisins out of the pudding. Can you take them out?"
"I'll do it." Uriel was not sure of the magic that could melt Joey. He held the hilt of the sword and injected magic power into it, causing the star pattern to shine on the coat of arms. Gaia bless you, this actually works. "That's it. What are you going to do with it?"
"The headquarters of the church has set up a base plate inscribed with divine spells to defend against evil invasion 24 hours a day. If you hide the coat of arms near the base plate, it will be suppressed by the mystery and become ineffective."
"This is impossible." Uriel blurted out, "Divine magic comes from the goddess, and the mystery of the heraldry alone cannot invalidate it." He has a deep understanding of the difference between divine magic and magic.
While in Winawase, the Paladins grew up mostly using magic, while Arabella could only cast divine spells. Although their mystery was suppressed by Joey's "Silver City", it was mainly because the strength gap between the two parties was too big. In fact, if the mystery does not exceed different levels, the effect produced is actually only different in magic power.
It is completely impossible to sneak into the church by relying on the emblem of the sky.
The detective lady looked very surprised. "I don't quite understand this." She was a little embarrassed. "I don't like to use magic to reason, and I have never done anything illegal." No wonder Agatha Poirot had to take a wrong approach to graduate from the tower. She really had no interest in the occult.
But Uriel is not Wittek, and is not easily fooled when he takes things seriously. "I thought you were planning to use us as bait and then get an excuse to enter the church." He coughed, making the sharp tone less obvious.
"Hmm, you guessed it." Miss Poirot admitted generously. But if the apprentice hadn't discovered it in time, she would definitely not have confessed.
This guy will do whatever it takes to pursue perfection. Uriel almost rolled his eyes. Who would have thought that the detective patrolman who had united the front would have the idea of betraying his companions? "Please don't be so heartless." He felt like a resentful woman.
"Our time is tight, and finding out the truth and collecting evidence must be carried out at the same time." The detective explained, "If the method I used to obtain the evidence is unfair, it will give them an excuse." It seems that truth potion and torture are also in her mind. Consider it a legitimate means. "And you are the apprentice of the White Envoy."
"Then I can't break into the church!"
"I remember that you are also a believer. Maybe they will be lenient. Your mentor gave you the coat of arms, which shows that he supports your behavior." Agatha pointed out.
"He supports me attending the Fire Trial for him."
"As an apprentice of the first level, isn't this natural? It seems that Bai Zhizhi understands you very well and has given you considerable trust. It's time for you to repay this trust with justice and honor." Miss Detective followed suit. , "You know, a coat of arms can give you the greatest protection, man, this is a business without money."
"Keep your good business for yourself." Uriel said angrily, "The face of the Public Security Bureau is valuable, but the face of Bai Zhizhi is not? You reminded me, Miss Poirot, when I went to the church I wouldn’t even wear a ring before.”
"Many astrologers have the emblem of the sky." Agatha murmured, "It doesn't necessarily belong to the White Envoy. As long as you show your emblem, the priests, nuns, and even the cross knights will send you away politely. come out."
Then you can take the opportunity to find the truth? Uriel felt that her unfamiliarity with the church might be an act. "I think my mentor knew you had become my neighbor, so he gave me the coat of arms to save my life."
"Do you have a better way?" Miss Detective narrowed her eyes.
"No." The apprentice admitted.
"Then listen to me. Oh, of course, another way...you don't need to attract firepower...I mean, we just act according to the original plan." Agatha took a step back, but she was still arbitrary. "It would be great if you could vouch for what we find with your coat of arms."
Uriel reluctantly agreed. But in this case, they have to consider new issues. "What do you do with that magical foundation?"
"That thing is a rotating instrument panel that allows you to flexibly switch between magical techniques for investigation." Miss Poirot was confident. "We only need to have one person beside us to control its speed. If it goes too fast, turn it back. You Ever played with the hands of a clock?”
It seems that not only people, but also whatever you get your hands on will be in bad luck. "Just do it like this. Just let Mr. Witke stay there. He will definitely not be happy to destroy the temple of faith of his old friend." The apprentice suggested.
They were just emerging from the street, where the constable was waiting in the shadow of two linden trees. A look of hesitation flashed across his devilish face. "I brought a helper." He waved to a workshop opposite.
Uriel turned his head and saw Gunther, the button worker, who was putting down the mold behind the glass window.
"Who is that?" asked the detective.
"Another guy who lies to us," Uriel told her, "but at some point, he will be helpful to us."
