Chapter 249 Go or Stay

Backlund Steam Station.

"Klein, go back and do your work. Benson and I can do it. This isn't our first time riding a steam train!" Melissa said with some pride. This was indeed her second time riding this great mechanical creation.

"Yes, it just so happens that your vacation ends today, so you don't have to force yourself to send us off," Benson said seriously, carrying the brother and sister's suitcases.

"I left some money in the pocket of your tuxedo. Let's find a reliable street to rent a house later... Even if your company provides food and accommodation, you can't bring Fors to your dormitory, right? Also, if you visit someone's home so frequently, you should invite them to your own home, right? Well... when Melissa and I are free, we will come to see you again.

"Klein, it's not easy to work in a big city like Backlund. Don't be too stressed and think more about good things! Don't worry about your home in Tingen. I will take good care of it...

"You... well, when you can't stand the choking fog in Backlund anymore, remember to go back to Tingen... cough cough!" Benson coughed twice and said:
"Alright! We should go now, Klein, take care of yourself!"

“Klein! Come on!” Melissa clenched her right fist and said with a smile from the bottom of her heart.

“Yes… I will. I’ve remembered it all!” Klein nodded solemnly and waved to his brother and sister. “Take care! Benson, Melissa, you too should take care of yourselves!”

After seeing his family off, Klein scratched his head. Should he still be considered a night watchman in Tingen? He had come here on a "business trip" and would have to return to Tingen sooner or later, so he had not considered renting a house... But he couldn't explain it to Benson and the others...

Well, the vacation is over, it's time to go to the church to check on the subsequent work arrangements for me! Maybe Melissa and the others will get home first, and I will follow them back!

Klein smiled, turned and walked towards the subway entrance, rushing to St. Samuel's Church in the North District.

……

“You two are already Sequence 8 Beyonders, and have experienced big events…” In the Holy Wind Cathedral, Roy Wellington took the files of the two ladies and paused before saying:
“But Ms. Wall’s melee ability needs to be strengthened, and Ms. Dilcha’s extraordinary knowledge needs to be supplemented…

"Go and receive training with the new batch of Mandated Punishers. Once you complete all the tasks, you will be able to handle incidents independently."

"Ah? I..." Xio wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Fors' words:
"Okay, okay! Praise Storm! Thank you Senior Deacon Roy!" Fors knew very well that the two of them were definitely taken care of. As everyone knows, the most dangerous thing for official Beyonders is to go on missions... Cultists, wild Beyonders fighting desperately, out-of-control monsters...

Roy took out the seal and stamped it, then he used a breeze to pass the note to the two people and said:
"Go ahead, training ground number 3."

……

"Good morning, Master Cecima!" Klein came to an office in the church, knocked on the door and greeted.

"Good morning, er... Lord Klein, 'God's Favored One,'" Cecima put down the documents in her hand and said with a smile after seeing the person coming.

"... Klein, just call me Klein... Your Excellency, I want to know what arrangements the church has for me next? As you know, Lanevus has been killed. Can I return to Tingen?" "God's Favored One"... Oh, I'm really not used to being called that!
"Hmm..." Cecima crossed her red-gloved hands and rested her chin on them.

"There are arrangements, but if you insist on returning to Tingen, that's fine too. It depends on the personal wishes of the 'God's Favored'..." "Most of the Goddess' Favored in history were promoted very quickly and blazed a trail for the Goddess's cause. For example, Saint Samuel entered the Kingdom of God and became an angel during his lifetime.

"But there are also a small number who remain in the low or middle sequence for their entire lives. They are dedicated to spreading the faith of the goddess and healing ordinary believers, and are deeply loved by everyone.
"In short, the goddess' followers are qualified to refuse the church's arrangements, because you are only responsible to the goddess..."

Klein had an epiphany and his choice had come. Staying in Backlund meant that he would be promoted to a demigod or even a saint, and become a warrior of the goddess; returning to Tingen meant that he had no hope of becoming a "demigod" and could only become a disseminator of the goddess's faith...

This... is not bad? I am only Sequence 8 and I have to consider whether to be promoted to Demigod! Klein laughed at himself in his heart and said:

“Praise the Goddess!
"Thank you to the goddess and the church for giving me the opportunity to choose. I am willing to follow the arrangements of the church. Wherever the goddess's sword points is the direction I will move forward!"

Cecima also pointed out a full moon on her chest and said with a smile on her face:
"Praise the goddess! You are worthy of being the 'God's Blessed One'! Don't worry, you will most likely join the 'Dead Mentor' Daly's team. You should know the relationship between her and Dunn best. Maybe she will take your team on a 'business trip' to Tingen without you even asking."

“Well, you’re right…” Klein heaved a sigh of relief. This decision was difficult, but the secret he was carrying… He couldn’t stop moving forward…

Cecima pushed the paper on the table and said:
“If you look at this document, this is the focus of our work for the next period of time.

"The cause is still the 'Witch Rampant' incident in Tingen... Take the documents and report to Daly. Her team seems to be on duty at Chanis Gate today. You can find her underground."

……

"'Witch Purge Plan'? Hey, Klein, are you interested in drinking a bottle of 'witch' potion?" Daly shook the newly obtained plan and said in a joking tone.

“No! Absolutely not!” Klein flatly refused. He knew very well that Daly was just joking because “Fortune Teller” and “Witch” were not adjacent sequences… But he still couldn’t imagine the scene where he and Captain Dunn became sisters…

"Tsk!" Daley said with a serious expression:

"Your emotions are stable, which is good. In comparison, Leonard's sacrifice has a greater impact on Dunn...

"You have to be prepared to join my team. Today we are on duty at Chanis Gate, but after that we have to desperately look for those 'witches'... Well, after we find them, I have to ask Dunn to come over and let her take revenge herself... Otherwise, she will definitely drive herself crazy...

"Hehe, I'm just following 'instructions' and not breaking any rules at all!"

Uh... I am emotionally stable because I know Leonard is still alive! Captain... Klein rubbed his temple and said:
"Yes! I understand! I will try my best! I also hope to see the captain soon!"

"Huh? You!" Daly slammed the table and said regretfully:
"It's a pity that Dunn has that seal...

"Klein, next time you see her, do this..."
