Edward thought for a moment and walked forward: "Bishop Elektra, His Excellency the Saint has been out for a long time this time. Did he say when he would be back?"
It wasn't that he had to find Anthony for something, but according to Bernadette's previous prediction, the suspected smog disaster might happen soon. Without a saint in charge of Backlund, who knows if there will be any accidents at that time.
Bishop Elektra shook his head and said, "Before His Excellency the Saint left, he only said that he was going to preach in the vicinity of Backlund, and he did not say when he would be back. In fact, the Church of Tranquility has also sent people to look for him during this period."
The Church of Tranquility is the headquarters of the Church of Night. Even they don't know where Anthony has gone?
Could it be a secret mission specially assigned to him by the goddess?
The core goal of the goddess at this stage should be to fuse the artificial death god, right? How can Anthony help in this matter?
At this time, Bishop Lectra suddenly looked at the church door and said:
"Oh, Lady Cecima is here."
Edward turned his head and saw that the young senior deacon was still dressed the same as when he was exempted from the last time, a black windbreaker with a white shirt. His collar was stood up high, hiding his entire chin in the shadow.
Only this time, there was a red glove on the left palm.
"Hey~ we meet again!"
Edward took off his hat and saluted: "Hello, Master Cecima."
Creste Sesima waved his hand lazily with a smile on his face: "I have heard your name from the new member of the Red Gloves quite a lot recently."
"Traitor, murderer, conspirator, bastard, beast, well, there are some even dirtier ones, I'm sorry I can't say them here..."
He gestured with his fingers as he spoke: "Basically, they all use similar words to describe you."
Uh, Leonard...does he hate me so much? Father Pales still hasn't told him the truth?
"Sir Cecima, you should know that I have not betrayed the church, right?"
He glanced at Edward's neck and said, "Well, if I hadn't just heard about it this morning, I would have already chopped off your head with the Goddess's Sword. /Ka?Ka~ Xiao^Tax?Wang` ?Has already_published?The_most_heartbreaking\cockroach-踕_"
"…"Thank you for your honesty.
"But, apart from knowing that you are not a traitor, I don't know anything else." Cecima walked closer and asked in a gossipy tone, "What's the situation? Tell me in detail."
Edward immediately looked at his nose and heart, "Secret."
"whispering sound."
He was not surprised. He took out his pocket watch and took a look. "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, let's go. Soest's team will be here soon. Oh, the one who cursed you with all the dirty words belongs to that team."
Well, I can actually explain it to Leonard.
The reason why he kept it a secret from Leonard was because of the problem with the time converter. Edward told Pales about it later, and no one knew what the old man was thinking, as he still kept it a secret until now.
"I understand. Goodbye, Master Cecima."
Wearing a tall silk hat, Edward quickly left the church. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a team of red-gloved soldiers coming from a distance.
He turned and walked away, making sure he was out of their sight before Apparating away.
"Huh?"
As soon as Leonard stepped into the church, Pales, who was living in his body, let out a cry of surprise.
"What's the matter, old man?"
"Oh, it's okay. I'm just dazzled."
"You are an angel, how can you be dazzled?"
Pales said faintly, "Have you ever seen an angel as miserable as me?"
"…"
Of course, Pales was not dazzled, and he was also very sure that what he saw just now was Edward, who had frightened him with a monocle.
After the Tingen incident, Leonard joined the Red Gloves with hatred, and Pales also followed the "agreement" with Edward and did not tell him the truth for the time being.
But later He discovered that Leonard, who was full of hatred, had swept away his former laziness and self-righteousness and became hardworking, motivated and down-to-earth.
In this case, let's continue to let Klein and Dunn die!
What matters is the strength of your own children.
Chapter 270 Lilith's Friend
"Leonard, what are you doing there?"
Captain Soest shouted from the door of the church.
"Here I come."
"Well, the goal of our team's operation this time is to kill a demon hiding in Backlund. You will be in charge of controlling Sealed Artifact 1-42. Is there any problem?"
Leonard immediately said seriously: "No problem, Captain."
"Let's go, Lord Cecima is waiting for us."
...
While Edward was praying to the goddess of night, Lilith quickly ran out of Queens, jumped onto a carriage, and arrived at the subway station for free. Then she skillfully entered the subway station and took the subway to Cherwood.
As soon as she got out of the subway station, she quickly moved through the crowd and ran towards a certain street with a clear goal.
A short man was standing in front of a grocery store, kicking stones on the road, and suddenly saw a black cat flash past him: "Huh?"
She followed subconsciously, and a hand patted her shoulder from behind: "What are you looking at, Xio?"
Quinn looked in the direction where Lilith disappeared. "I think I saw Edward's black cat just now. Maybe they just look similar."
She looked down at the small bag of cigarettes in Fors's hand and frowned slightly: "Fors, your smoking addiction has been getting worse and worse recently. Even a Beyonder can't stand you smoking like this."
Fors scratched her curly brown hair and muttered, "Do you think I want to? Haven't I been working day and night lately? Without cigarettes, I can't write a single word."
Quinn folded his arms and snorted, "Not normal."
"What's wrong?"
"It's not normal for you to be so diligent all of a sudden!" Xio was like a primary school detective. "Tell me! What have you encountered recently?"
Fors immediately glanced away, so as not to let her see her guilty conscience. "How could that be... I just want to make more money, so that I won't regret it if I see the recipe or ingredients at a party one day but don't have the money to buy them."
"real?"
"It's more real than a gold pound."
Fors raised a hand as if to swear.
In fact, what she said was nine out of ten true and one out of ten false. She was indeed working hard to make money for the formulas and materials, but she just concealed the existence of the Tarot Club.
Seeing that Xio didn't ask any more questions, Fors secretly breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the small bag of cigarettes: "Please take it back for me. I'll go walk around and look for some inspiration."
"Okay, come back soon."
Fors lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then began to wander aimlessly around the street. She was not kidding when she said she was looking for inspiration.
Sometimes inspiration is like this. You can sit at your desk and think hard all day, but it is better to relax and go out for a walk. Just like the author, it is better to go to the comment section to find inspiration instead of worrying about the computer for a long time. So friends who read books, please leave more comments so that I can copy (cross out) and learn from them!
As she walked, Fors found herself back in a familiar place. Diagonally in front of her was the Yusuf Clinic, where she first worked, a fairly large private clinic.
After staring for a while, she remembered the old lady who led her into the extraordinary world, so she turned into the alley on the right and took a shortcut to a nearby street.
"I didn't expect it would be three years so soon."
As she recalled her past experiences, she gradually gained some writing inspiration.
Just then, she saw an old man wearing a heavy woolen coat and a half-high black hat standing at the door of house No. 39 and rang the doorbell three times.
If Edward were here, he would definitely recognize him as Lawrence from the Abraham family.
...
On the other side, Lilith came to a quiet street, which was definitely one of the best residential areas in the Cherwood district.
Soon, she stopped in front of the door of one of the townhouses, raised her paw and scratched the door panel a few times, making a rustling sound.
After a few seconds, the door was opened.
The person who opened the door was a girl in a black long dress. She looked to be in her early twenties, with skin as smooth and white as jade, but her appearance was not particularly stunning.
"You're here."
She smiled serenely and stepped back to let Lilith in.
Lilith jumped onto the sofa in the living room very familiarly, and then said crisply: "I brought you a gift this time~"
"Thank you, Miss Lilith."
"You're welcome."
Lilith took out the things she had collected in the small pendant one by one. Most of them were colorful little toys, but there were also some women's clothes and shoes. Soon the sofa was filled with them.
"These are for you."
The girl stepped forward and picked up one of the finger-thick paper tubes. She gently squeezed it, and a beautiful magic firework suddenly sprayed out. She was very happy: "It looks very beautiful. I like it very much."
Lilith nodded: "That's good! Keep these well~"
"Yes."
"Then I'll go back first~"
"In such a hurry?"
"Yes~"
Lilith jumped off the sofa and ran towards the door happily, "Ah, I remember now."
"After Ms. Lilith is promoted to Sequence 7, can she really become a human?"
The girl smiled and nodded: "Yes."
"Have you seen it?"
"Well, I have seen it before."
"oh."
Lilith thought for a moment and asked again, "Do you think it's okay to become a human?"
