Chapter 394: Trainee Pastor Audrey

St Samuel's Church, North District.

"Good morning, Mr. Moretti." The voice was extremely sweet, and everyone who heard it felt happy.

Klein's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly saw a scene in the gray fog... This was Miss Justice's voice! He naturally turned his gaze towards the church. Sure enough, there stood a girl with an extremely delicate appearance, long hair as shiny as gold, eyes as green as a lake, and a perfect smile on her face! Audrey Hall!
Different from the girl's dress in our impression, Audrey at this time had no gorgeous jewelry or expensive-looking clothes. She wore a plain black goddess priest robe, which made her look dignified and elegant. The priest robe could not cover her slender white neck and her delicate collarbone, on which hung a holy emblem of the night dotted with a red moon and numerous stars.

Klein shook his head violently. If he hadn't known that Miss Justice was an audience member, he would have thought she was a "witch"! Her temperament and beauty could be compared with Captain "Joy" Dunn!

Wait! "Audience"?! He quickly used his "clown" ability to control his micro-expressions, fixed his eyes on her face, and greeted her:

"Good morning, Miss Hall.

"Your dress like this means..."

Audrey raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a smile:

"As you can see, I am already an 'apprentice priest' of the Goddess Church. I will be grateful for your guidance in the future, Your Excellency 'God's Favored One'~"

Klein was very surprised. He knew that Lord Cecima had refused to let him join the Night Watchers before he came of age, and he also knew that Lord Saint Anthony had given him the option of becoming a priest. But he thought that after the crisis of the Hall family was resolved, this distinguished lady would no longer join the church... There was no reason for that... How could clergymen have the freedom of nobles?
Especially female priests... their positioning is actually a bit awkward. There is the Storm Church in Loen, but in its long history, there has never been any female priests in the Storm Church, let alone bishops and archbishops.

In contrast, the Goddess Church has been in conflict, struggle, and compromise with Storm for hundreds of years in order to gain women's rights. Therefore, there is a certain base of female priests here, and many of them have reached high positions.

However, the traditional people of Loen still do not approve of female priests, so naturally they have higher requirements for them.

Male priests and bishops can get married and choose the person they like, but female priests... no, public opinion believes that they should remain chaste throughout their lives in order to serve God.

Although there is no such requirement within the Goddess Church and marriage is encouraged...more female pastors "consciously" become what the outside world requires.

And for a noble girl, marriage... should be a very important part, right? Alliances between families, etc... Klein said as he imagined the plots of TV dramas and novels he had watched on Earth:

"Just call me Klein. Remember to speak up if you run into trouble next time. See you later! I seem to be late! The captain is going to scold me!"

Audrey watched the young fortune teller leave in a hurry after saying something, her smile becoming more charming as she whispered:
"You can just call me Audrey, or Miss Hall..." After studying at the Goddess Church for a few times, she discovered an astonishing "secret"! No, it should be an astonishing fact: Fors and Xio are not "Nighthawks", but "Punisher"! ! This means that the relationship between them is not that kind of extremely close!

After learning about this "secret" that only she had misunderstood for a long time, she immediately came to the church to formally report. It was not that she wanted to compete with Fors for someone... Well, she was competing for someone! Since you two are not married yet, then she is just a normal and fair competition!
No! In terms of how early we met, I obviously knew this fortune teller a long time ago! I was saved in that "schizophrenic" dream; when the "devil" assassinated Duke Negan, it was he who transformed into a steel armor to block the sulfur fireball for me!
It is normal to fall in love with someone!!

Audrey clenched her fist and returned to a large room, where she studied the precepts of the Goddess Church and recited psalms with many female priests.

Klein reflected on himself as he walked towards the team office. Why did he feel that his resistance in that aspect had become weaker... Oh, maybe those words that Fors said before were too tempting! Really, after teasing me, she left again! I was really going to ask for leave! ...

Minsk Street 15.

"You two, the White family gave us a reward of 50 pounds. How about you take 30 pounds and I take 20 pounds? I also have to pay my informants..." The bearded Detective Stuart handed out 5-pound and 10-pound notes and asked the two great detectives.

"No problem!" Peiman put away a few bills and said with a smile:
"The client has successfully met Mr. Emlyn, right? That scene must have been very warm and touching."

"Yes, the Whites have confirmed the accuracy of the information, and then came to my firm to offer the compensation, but..." Stuart asked in confusion:

"It's just that Mr. Emlyn didn't come with us... maybe he was frightened and is recuperating at home?"

Peiman and Leonard looked at each other with sympathy. Tsk tsk, a handsome young man was "illegally imprisoned" by a giant bishop for nearly a month... I can't imagine what happened! But it must be a "bloodbath"! The young man should be recovering at home... I really don't understand why his parents didn't notify the police!

"You guys sit down first, I'll go make some coffee..." Peiman stood up and was about to walk towards the kitchen.

Stuart said hurriedly:

"No, that's not necessary. I'm here to give you my reward and to express my gratitude for protecting the reputation of my detective agency.

"Besides that, um, I have another commission that pays well. A jeweler employer wants to hire a group of detectives to take turns protecting his son. The starting price is 20 pounds. I wonder if you are interested?"

Peiman stood behind the sofa where Leonard was sitting, leaned forward, and asked with interest:

"Jeweler? Any details? Kidnapping? Blackmail? I suggest calling the police."

Leonard felt the softness behind his head and quickly moved forward and said:
“Yes, although the police seem to be a little more tolerant of us, it is better not to offend them.”

Stuart undoubtedly saw the intimate interaction between the two, and couldn't help but sigh that it was still good to be young. People like him who were married and even had children seemed to have lost that kind of passion a long time ago... After this incident, he would return to his home in East Chester County to spend time with his wife and children... He coughed and explained:
"It's not extortion. According to the employer, it seems that his son made some bad friends. The young man was very frightened and kept shouting that someone wanted to kill him after returning home...

“Because the young man seemed to have done something bad, he also didn’t want to involve the police.

"Uh... After I described it like this, it feels like another Emlyn White..."
