Chapter 211 Old Bruce Returns to Fight the Storm
Church of St. Samuel.
"Dunn... um... have you ever considered changing your name?" Krestel Cecima looked at the heroic and charming girl in front of him, and said helplessly.
Klein kept a straight face and tried hard not to laugh. That would hurt the captain's heart!
"...No, I must always remember my original gender!" Dunn said firmly, "I think this is a manifestation of the witch's 'acting method'!"
The three men present...er, two and a half men, all understood the "acting method", so Dunn spoke without hesitation. As for whether she was doing it for "acting" or for other reasons...only she knew.
"Really? Witch, shouldn't you be a better witch? Uh, as long as you like it, Captain..." Klein immediately changed his words when he saw Dunn's pitiful and helpless expression.
"Okay, okay, Dunn," Cecima stopped dwelling on this. He put his hands in a pair of blood-red gloves, crossed them in front of his pointed chin, and said with a serious expression:
"Dunn Smith, the discussion of your 'promotion' in the Holy Hall has come to a conclusion. Today, under the witness of Mr. Moretti, the 'God's Blessed One', I will inform you."
"Yes!" Dunn's eyes twitched when he heard the word "promotion", and then his expression became serious and he waited.
"God's Blessed One" Klein raised his chin slightly. His title was really impressive. He could even listen in on such top-secret information? He was not too nervous about Dunn because he had a feeling that it would not be bad news.
Sesima freed her left hand and pushed a file bag across the table, then said:
"Dunne, you are so experienced that you should not fail to recognize that the characteristics you have obtained do not belong to the 'Sleeping One' path. There are obvious differences in their appearance.
"However, Saint Anthony interceded for you, believing that the characteristics of the deceased Leonard Mitchell were integrated into the characteristics of the 'Witch of Pleasure', which is why you made a mistake. Therefore, no other characteristics were found at the scene. This was agreed by the majority of the meeting.
"Dunne, you still took in the Beyonder Characteristics that bear the imprint of your teammates. Leonard will definitely continue to follow you and continue to fight for the goddess."
Dunn's body stiffened for a moment, then he relaxed. His soft voice was a little hoarse as he said, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is... Leonard, live in my dream..."
Huh? Klein, the "God's Blessed One" who was witnessing this, was stunned. Leonard's characteristics were merged? Wasn't it still in his body? It was over. No matter how lively Leonard was in reality, in the eyes of the church, this person had already been determined to be dead!
Leonard was still alive and well. Klein thought that was good enough, but the cruel reality suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on Klein. Leonard was alive, but except for himself, Peiman, and Old Blue, everyone else thought he was dead!
Klein felt heavy in his heart. He had thought Leonard could come back, but "death", even if it was "death from the dead", could sever all the ties on a person... Fortunately, he would never forget Leonard! He would give a gift when the baby is born! Hmm!
"Leonard's sacrifice was not in vain. Not only did he kill the 'Witch', he also helped you test out the new 'Adjacent Path' Law... The meeting discussed and decided to change the attitude towards the 'Witch Family' from neutral to... 'Hunting', 'Execution on the Spot', which is higher than the standards for the 'Spiritual Cult' and is equivalent to 'Feysac'.
"This decree will soon be issued to churches at all levels, and it won't be considered a leak if I tell you now." Cecima's tone became much softer as she comforted the sad girl in front of her.
Klein suddenly realized that the Roselle diary that Old Blue gave him was too substantial. Just reading a few pages brought him a lot of new knowledge!
"Hunting"... Just as the Storm Church has been hunting down elves and is hostile to the "Eternal Sun" and "Knowledge" churches, this is entirely caused by the indestructibility and conservation law of Beyonder characteristics. The former is to recycle the characteristics of this path, and the latter hostility is to obtain the characteristics of the "adjacent path" so that their own church can have more high-sequence Beyonders!
Similarly, the Goddess Church destroyed Anti... Uh, let's not talk about this! "God's Blessed One" Klein's scalp tingled a little, and he quickly stopped his imagination and analyzed: Now the Goddess Church is "hunting down" the Witch Cult, and more of it is to obtain extraordinary characteristics... Hey, but it can also be regarded as revenge for Leonard...
Judging from the contemptuous and life-playing attitude of Triss in Tingen, the "Witch" path is not a good person... Well, except for the captain! Klein looked at Dunn and found that the girl had stabilized her emotions and said, "Sir Cecima, I want to join the "hunt" of the "witch"! I... want to help Leonard do something... revenge."
"Uh, this..." Cecima's expression was a little strange, and she paused and said:
"I personally welcome you to join the Red Gloves, but... the Conference of Cardinals has already made arrangements for your destination.
"Well... the meeting decided that your 'promotion' will be treated as a 'normal' promotion, and the corresponding merits will be deducted as an advance payment of potions from the church. Of course, your merits are sufficient.
“After that… you must return to Tingen as a Sequence 6 to fight… Old Blue of the Church of Storms.
"That old man really can't be underestimated... When I was capturing Lanevus, I sensed his madness, rage, and... calmness. Yes, a combination of rage and calmness...
“After that, I looked at his information in detail. Um, Neil, was he also the one who discovered Old Neil’s problem?
"I also heard that he made the leap from 'Raging People' to 'Wind-loving One' in less than a month... This is extremely rare in the entire church circle... except for some 'natural saints'...
"And Qi Lingos... It might not be a coincidence that he was able to defeat the Wind-loving One by leaps level...
"Tingen is not on the coast. It is natural that the Goddess Church is stronger than Storm there. However, Storm has sent a Sequence 6 Wind-loving One back to Tinen. We must also send additional personnel of the same level. At least we must maintain the current faith situation. This is very important.
"Luckily, Dunn, you got promoted by accident... otherwise maybe... haha, maybe we should consider asking Daly to help you." Cecima had a smile on her face.
Huh? Klein was stunned. Old Blue's return home actually caused such a big reaction? Does that mean that Old Blue went back to fight for Storm's faith? No way? Didn't Old Blue say... that he came back because he missed home? !
Dunn's expression was serious at first, but when he heard Daley's name, his face flushed a little, and then he said:
"Old Blue is considered my predecessor... He has not participated in the Mandated Punisher operations much in recent years, but has been quietly managing Tingen's Extraordinary Trading Market...
“His renewed temper may be related to the death of his family…
"I will obey the church's arrangement. I will return to Tingen and fight for the goddess's faith!"
Dunn tapped his chest four times, but suddenly froze, his face flushed darker as he said:
"Um... Lord Cecima, is there any way for me to restore my male body first? Or disguise myself... I'm afraid that if I return to the Nighthawks, no one will recognize me..."
Huh? Klein was shocked. This won't do! Although this hairline alone shows that he is definitely not a captain... but now he looks so pleasing to the eye! Must he go back to the way he was before?
