Arthur and Sher were chatting with Pastor Allen when a group of children suddenly ran in.
They probably didn't expect there would be a stranger here, so they were all stunned on the spot. Allen walked up to the leading child, smiled and patted his head, "You go out and play by yourself! I have something here today. guest."
The children received the instruction, and like herding sheep, they all ran out of the church with a bang.
Seeing Allen's kind smile when he looked at the children, Schell couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the pastor.
"It can be seen that these children like you very much."
Allen sat back on the chair and said with emotion: "Children are our future. I will tell them some stories when I am free."
Arthur became interested and asked curiously: "What stories are you telling?"
He obviously didn't expect Arthur to ask this, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before replying: "They are all stories in the Bible. I think they can be trained from an early age to be good people."
Arthur strongly disagreed with Allen's view. He felt that the stories in the Bible would only scare children into crying and give them nightmares at night.
Seeing that he could not get any more useful information here, Arthur and Schell bid farewell to this simple church.
On horseback, Sher continued to praise Pastor Allen's character.
Arthur suddenly said: "You said the successor of Roslyn Church, could it be him?"
Indeed, he is very suitable for this position, both in terms of his mass base and his attitude towards his followers.
The only shortcoming is that he is just a pastor now. For such a large church, the priest must be in charge. Of course, from pastor to priest, it is just a matter of a word from the church.
Sher followed Arthur and learned the habit of using his brain. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Do you suspect that Alan killed Father Ove?"
Arthur shrugged, "He does have this motive, although it is a bit far-fetched."
Talking about the motive, Sher immediately said: "Didn't you hear what Pastor Allen said? The people in the town are very hostile to the St. Clair family. Maybe they did it."
Arthur couldn't help but laugh, "Killing people because of hatred from more than a hundred years ago?"
Clearly this motive simply does not hold water.
Arthur was touching his chin at the moment and was mumbling, "But I really haven't heard of any conflicts between Allen and Father Ovie, but I believe that they will not be good friends."
"Yes! With Pastor Allen's personality, I'm afraid even if there is a conflict, he will give in to the other party!"
Schell clearly has a very good sense for Alan.
The two were chatting and walking in the town as if visiting, when a carriage caught Sher's attention.
"Look, isn't that Miss Irene's carriage?"
Arthur followed the direction of his finger and saw a carriage parked in front of an old house.
"You observe so carefully!"
Arthur couldn't help but tease.
Sher had already circled the horse and ran over, just as Irene had just gotten off the carriage.
"Hi! Officer Sher, Mr. Doyle, hello!"
Yirena didn't expect to meet the two of them here, so she hurriedly said hello.
At this moment, Sher had jumped off the horse and looked at the old house next to him, "Where are you going?"
"Uncle Isaacs said that there is a master here who can summon spirits, so I want to ask for his help."
Sher felt that the St. Clair family could really come up with the idea of holding a séance for the priest.
However, in this era that believes in witchcraft and magic more than science, every town or village will have such a witch or prophet, and in some places there will be more.
Especially in some areas with backward knowledge, civilians almost always have greater faith in them than churches.
If Arthur didn't have strange powers, he would definitely sneer at these.
But now he became interested, "That's right! I'm being asked to investigate this case, and I wonder if we can also have the honor to participate!"
Yirenai was a little hesitant because this matter was not decided by her.
At this time, an old man walked out of the house. It was the old man who answered Arthur's question among the 13 people in the church yesterday.
The old man was stunned when he saw Arthur. He obviously didn't expect him to be here, so Irene made a request on Arthur's behalf.
The old man thought for a moment and then returned to the room, as if he wanted to discuss it with others before giving an answer.
Sher hates this kind of mysterious behavior the most. "These people are probably liars. I feel like they won't let us participate."
While Sher was complaining, the old man walked out of the room and agreed to Arthur's request.
At this moment, there were three people standing in the room. When Arthur saw it, they were all the same people who went there last night.
These people just nodded to Arthur and said nothing more. Under the auspices of the old man, they began to light the candlesticks and block the sunlight.
The old man covered the round table with a black cloth. The spiritual formation was already drawn on the cloth, which also had a five-pointed star pattern, and an oil lamp was placed in the middle.
The old man found a needle, handed it to Irene, and asked her to drop blood into the oil lamp.
Then he took the hands of Irene and the other three people, and the five people formed a circle. The old man began to read Latin that Arthur couldn't understand at all.
But he and Sher could only sit aside and quietly watch them perform the ceremony.
Perhaps because he couldn't hold Irena's hand, Sher was very dissatisfied with the old man's arrangement. From time to time, he whispered in Arthur's ear: "This old man must be pretending."
At this time, a dark wind suddenly blew up out of thin air in the house, and the oil lamp kept swaying with the wind. As the old man's spell became louder and louder, the indoor temperature also continued to drop.
Even their breath had turned into white gas, and Xieer immediately became vigilant.
However, this scene lasted for five or six minutes. Finally, the old man stopped chanting the curse and shook his head at everyone.
Arthur hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Did you fail?"
"I don't know why, but I can't summon Father Ovie's soul."
The old man touched his chin, as if he was also very puzzled by this.
Schell felt that the old man was simply a liar. Now that he had failed, he was still pretending, so he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Perhaps Father Ovie has entered heaven. Maybe God doesn't want to let him go!"
The old man's face was very ugly when Xieer teased him, and it also made Irena feel a little embarrassed.
Arthur couldn't help but shook his head secretly, feeling that Sher's single path would probably last for a long time.
He asked Sher to accompany Irene out of the house first, and then chatted with the old man about their history with the St. Clair family.
The old man's name was Juliano Thornton, and when he talked about the family history of these people, it was pretty much what Pastor Allen said.
The only difference is that their ancestors were not only famous stonemasons across Europe, but also eventually joined the Holy Knights.
When Arthur asked about the Mithras Temple, the old man didn't know anything about it, and their ancestors had never left a word about it.
