Chapter 408 Old Blue: Spicy! Do I have something spicy to eat?

dong dong dong.

There was a distinct sound of footsteps accompanied by the sound of a cane tapping the ground in a very rhythmic manner. Although the sound was not loud, it quickly attracted the attention of two people who were engaged in a "large-scale" and "illegal" transaction.

Emlyn immediately put away the 500-pound note he had received earlier, sat upright on the bench and pretended to pray, but in fact he glanced at the corridor leading to the prayer hall.

thump.

The footsteps stopped abruptly, and Emlyn suddenly had a feeling that his heart seemed to have stopped beating at that moment.

His expression changed slightly, he almost forgot to pretend to pray, and looked towards the corridor unconsciously.

There stood a tall old man wearing Loen-style formal attire. His face was deeply wrinkled and his hair and beard were all white. His beard had a very strange shape, as if it had been cut off by some sharp weapon...

Emlyn sniffed in confusion. His nose, which was more sensitive than that of a hound, seemed to smell the scent of the ocean... Other than that, there was nothing special.

The next moment, he saw the old man with a smile on his face and nodded at him very kindly.

Emlyn instinctively returned the greeting by pointing at the stick figure of a baby on his chest, which was a courtesy of the Church of Mother Earth.

Afterwards, he saw the old man take another step and walk towards Father Utravsky, who was praying devoutly in front of the altar like a hill.

Emlyn breathed a sigh of relief. He explained to the young man who was also watching the new old man:

“He should be a believer of the Mother Goddess, perhaps a friend of the priest. After all, they are both quite old.

"What have you thought about? Will the deal go ahead? Well, you have to pay me at least 5000 pounds in advance..."

Klein turned his head with a strange expression... What Mother Goddess believer! That was Old Blue, the helper he had written to him in advance just in case! That was Storm's piety... Well, maybe he was also a devout believer of The Fool... right?

Old Bruce came a little late this time. Yes, that's right. He seems to be very busy after being discharged from the hospital...

And he didn’t teleport directly to the church… Yes, yes, Old Blue had said before that he would never teleport directly to “Saint Samuel’s Church” because that would be disrespectful to the Goddess of Night… But this church is just the “out-of-town” Church of the Mother Earth…

Old Blue just nodded to him, meaning that the people here have no ill intentions?

Klein quickly analyzed a series of conclusions. Inexplicably, he also felt that this "Harvest Church"... did not seem to be that simple.

He decided to re-examine the vampire in front of him who seemed to have a low IQ, just in case... the other party was pretending...

……

"It's you. Long time no see, this experienced and powerful elder."

The giant bishop opened his eyes and said in a gentle and low voice:

"I wonder if you have found someone to 'cultivate peppers'?"

Old Blue sat casually on a bench nearby, crossed his legs, and sighed:

“Father, this is Rune, not Feynapotter.

"Finding a qualified 'cultivator'... is harder than finding a Feysac spy.

"So, as an old man, I haven't had spicy food for a long, long time.

"My mental state is very bad, which leads to my bad mood. When I'm in a bad mood, I often do some irrational things... uh, maybe too rational things?" Old Blue thought very seriously.

The giant priest was silent for a few seconds, then he took out a small bag from his large bishop's robe while chanting "Good Harvest", and said in the same tone:
“Since I learned of your needs, I quickly contacted the temple.

“This is a chili pepper seed that Her Majesty has blessed personally. It can grow into a plant in a short period of time. Most importantly, it is 100,000 times spicier than ordinary chili peppers.

"I hope I can meet your requirements."

A hint of surprise flashed across Old Blue's face. He took the old cloth bag, tossed it casually, and said with a smile:

“I think I understand its usefulness.

"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being the favored one of Mother Earth.

"Besides planting it in 'that' place, I will give your Excellency a little extra compensation.

"Please pay attention," Old Blue said with a serious expression:

"I predict that a deadly plague will soon spread along with Backlund's fog, causing countless casualties.

"I think that with this information, your church can accomplish many things, and your church can also gain many conveniences in missionary work afterwards."

The giant bishop's expression changed for the first time. His brows knitted together and his face became a little ferocious. After a few seconds, he regained his composure and said:
“All living things have their own reincarnation. When life dies, it just turns into dust. It will be reborn and enter a new reincarnation.

“But the Mother Goddess is merciful. She also does not want to see the premature death of life. Abnormal reincarnation will be despised by Her.

"Thank you, great 'prophet'." Old Blue waved his hand, adjusted his felt hat, and stood up and said:
"You're welcome. I hope you can take this opportunity to make further progress. Otherwise, you will suffer even greater disasters later..."

……

“4503 pounds! It can’t be any less! Most of the materials you want correspond to Sequence 6… Even if it’s just a deposit, it must be at least 1000 pounds! And that’s taking my face into account! Oh, and there’s an extra % reward for me! That’s calculated separately!” Emlyn felt his lips were a little dry, and his ears became a little pointed… Damn, I’ve been arguing with this guy for too long, and I’m about to get blood thirst!
Klein saw from the corner of his eye that Old Blue had stood up and left. He now understood everything: the stupidity of the vampire in front of him... didn't seem to be fake.

He stopped trying and immediately took out a check folder from his pocket, quickly wrote a string of numbers on it, tore it off and handed it over, patiently instructing:
"This is a check from Backlund Bank for 5000 pounds. Keep it safe and don't lose it. I'll come back to you in two days. I hope you'll have successfully obtained the materials I want by then.

"See you later, noble vampire."

Emlyn opened his mouth and took the check with the wet handwriting in a daze. It was indeed written with 5000 pounds, and it was a high-level check issued by Backlund Bank, the most reputable bank in Loen...

He pursed his dry lips and felt that his blood thirst seemed to be suppressed all of a sudden.

After the much more handsome sponsor left, Emlyn wiped the candlestick for a while, then came to the giant bishop who was still praying. He mustered up his courage and said:
"Father, my work is done, I am going back!"

Father Utravsky turned his head and stared at the young vampire, which made the latter feel uneasy. Then he turned his head and replied calmly:

"it is good."

"..." Emlyn thought he had misheard. He stayed aside for a long time before he reacted. He walked out of the church tentatively, and only after he did not find the giant bishop chasing him with a sword did he truly confirm the fact that "he could leave."

After a long time, the priest's soft and low voice echoed in the Harvest Church:

"Emlyn, Emlyn White."

……

In the West District, in a brightly lit villa, a vampire party is being held, and the "wine" for the party... is, of course, fresh human blood.

The organizer of the party was the Audra family, who owned several hospitals. Only vampires like them could take out a variety of "wine" in huge quantities and drink it without being suspected by the authorities.

"Feynepote? Mother Goddess, the humans there love chili peppers so much that their blood has a spicy taste that I cannot stand. Mother Goddess..." Emlyn was chatting with the organizer of the party, the more than 200-year-old vampire Cassimir Odra, and he was not aware of the flaws in his words.

The corner of Kasimir's mouth twitched. He now believed the rumors among the vampires without a doubt:

Emlyn, who likes puppets, was captured and trained by the giant old man of the Earth Mother Goddess... I heard that he was also given "psychological suggestion"... The old man is also a "god-favored one"...

It seems that this guy is really hopeless...

"By the way, Casimi, I asked you about the 'Thousand-Faced Hunter's Mutated Pituitary Gland' last time. Well, I want to buy it, is that okay?" Emlyn asked immediately after complaining about Feynapot's spicy blood. Hey, it's not just for free fresh blood here! Isn't there a business coming to the door? !

Casimi was surprised:

"Of course, but... have you saved enough money? Didn't you use all your money to buy the dolls?"

"Ah, I, of course I have some savings!" Emlyn's tone was a little floating. He really wanted to complete the transaction with the despicable but rich human as soon as possible, and then use the difference in profit and the reward promised by the other party to buy the latest model of doll!
Casimi nodded and said:

“Well, I won’t ask you what you want it for, I’ll give it to you at the end of the party.

"But now, you need to come with me to see my grandfather first."

……

Old Blue pressed his felt hat and said to the young man who walked out of the Harvest Church:

“Sorry, I was delayed by some annoying social engagements, luckily you didn’t get into a fight with them.

"So, have you achieved your goal? What do you need me to do?"

Klein quickly replied:

"You don't have to apologize! I want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here!
“As for the goal…Is it halfway achieved?

"I came here to find out about the 'Master Key' trap... I originally thought that this vampire was in cahoots with Mr. X of the Aurora Society, and that they had teamed up to lead me into a deadly trap...

"But I thought about it carefully and felt that it was illogical. After all, Mr. X had no reason to target me... Plus, when I came to the Harvest Church and saw that the vampire was still calmly wiping the candlesticks, I really rejected that idea.

"However, when I used 'Shadow Hide' to conceal myself, the giant bishop saw through it at a glance... So I had to ask you for help to avoid being caught on the spot..." Klein explained a little embarrassedly. He was indeed worried that he would follow in the footsteps of the "Noble Blood Clan" and be imprisoned in the basement of the church... After all, the "Dawn Knight"'s head-on combat capability was still too strong!
Old Blue scratched his head. Emlyn set a trap? Could he have such a brain? If I remember correctly, Mr. "Moon" at this time was still a "second-dimensional" person with a mind full of girl figurines, right?

But the "Master Key" was indeed obtained from him, so it's not surprising that Klein suspected them...

He nodded and said:
"Emperor Roselle once said: Better safe than sorry.

“As expected of His descendant, your approach was correct. Never underestimate your enemies under any circumstances, and always remember to leave a guarantee for your own safety.

"Also, what you said about being discovered by the giant bishop... is not a strange thing. Although the Warrior path doesn't have much brains, these reckless people still have very sharp intuition. When they are promoted to demigods, the Demon Hunter will have a significant inhibitory effect on evil and filthy enemies...

"More importantly, the giant bishop is also a person favored by God, just like you."
