"Pastor Milak, what the hell is going on?" Lina hurried into the conference room on the side of the prayer hall and saw five villagers talking to Pastor Milak in a panic.

Lina...... Priest. Milak hesitated for a moment and said, "You've come just in time, something has happened." ”

"I know something is wrong, let's get to the point. Lina interrupted Milak with a wave of her hand: "And a few of you, stop arguing, shut up first." ”

Milak stopped the villagers' chatter and eased his nerves: "These villagers' homes, there are people missing. ”

"Missing?" Lina was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then hurry up and report the case to the city, this place should belong to Oran Town, oh, no, now it has been upgraded to Oran City, hurry up and report the case to Oran City, let them send city guards or investigators to investigate." ”

"It's already gone, but it's unlikely that the City Guard will be able to support in time. Milak shook his head and vetoed Lina's statement: "There are seventeen affiliated villages in Oran City, but there are only a hundred city guards in total, and harvest festivals are being held in each village these days, and the city lord has sent eighty city guards to disperse to each village to maintain order, and our Angus Village is relatively large, divided into six ......"

"Focus, focus. Lina tapped on the table and reminded Pastor Milak.

"Oh, yes, to the point. Milak continued: "The remaining twenty members of the team need to maintain law and order in Oran City, and I am afraid that there will be no manpower allocated after receiving the news, and even if someone comes, they will not be able to get here tonight until now." Now there are more than 4,000 outsiders and villagers, and in one day's time, I am afraid that even if there is a clue, it will be too late. ”

"Well, your concerns are justified. Lina frowned and said, "But what are you looking for me to do? I'm not a city guard, and I'm not an inquisitor, so it's useless for you to look for me." ”

"You're an adventurer. Milak asked tentatively, "Moreover, it suddenly occurred to me in the morning, that you are not a priest, but a sage, right?"

In the world of Yara, when a person joins the Church, he can only become a priest or a nun if he is not a professional, and a priest if he is a professional. When a pastor is devout enough to be recognized by the gods, and is skilled enough in all kinds of religious knowledge and spell-casting skills to pass the rigors and hardships of the church, he can be eligible for promotion. After promotion, some priests who are more proficient in religious knowledge will be assigned to the church headquarters or branches in various countries to be responsible for management, and some of the promoted priests are called priests, and the other part of the priests who are proficient in spell-casting skills and have a high degree of affinity with the gods are assigned to the various temples under the branch and the branch to become the head of the temple, and this part of the promoted priests is called the priest. Of course, the division of duties between the two is not so strict, and the heads of some branches will also be priests, and some temples will also be priests, such as Ankawa, the head of the City of Knowledge branch, is a priest, and Milak, the priest of Angus Village, can only serve as the head of the temple as a priest because of the insufficient number of priests. However, this is not a common occurrence, and the normal division of duties follows the distinction between priests and priests.

However, in addition to these two types of advanced priests, there are a very small number of priests who have been promoted, but they do not want to be priests who have too much to do with the government, and they do not want to be confined to a certain temple to become priests, they are free by nature, they like to travel around the world, or preaching or preaching or healing people, although they have advanced and are no longer pastors, they always like to call themselves pastors, and people from the outside world also call them pastors. But within the Church, there is a separate division of professions for them - the sages. Just like Lina, she is actually one of the sages.

"Yes, I am a sage. Lina thought for a moment, but still admitted her profession: "You are also an adventurer, so what are you going to entrust us with investigating this disappearance?"

"No, no, no. Milak quickly shook his head: "I know the rules of adventurers, and I can't accept the task privately." I would like to ask you to temporarily come forward to investigate on behalf of the Earth Goddess Church. I'll ask one of the City Guards from Orlan to assist you. I was supposed to come forward, but you're a sage and an adventurer, much better than me, a priest who has never fought and has no experience in investigating, so it's better for you to come forward. ”

"You wait, let's talk about it. Lina dragged Pannis, walked to the corner and whispered, "Do you want to agree?"

"Huh, you ask me?" Pannis replied inexplicably: "If you want to agree, you can agree, if you don't want to agree, forget it." ”

Lina said dissatisfiedly: "Catherine used to make the decision, but now Catherine is not here but you are here, you decide." Vivien and I don't have that much in our minds to make decisions and don't want to make decisions, and the two of us don't want to practice how to make decisions at all. So, listen to you. ”

"Okay, I'll decide. Pannis sighed helplessly: "But even if I decide, the key depends on whether you want to help with this favor or not." ”

"Of course I do. Unconsciously, Lina was visibly relieved to make a decision about the group's actions: "But I don't know if it will have any effect." ”

"Then say yes, it doesn't matter. Pannis said, "It's a pity to delay the entertainment at the harvest festival, and you may miss a lot of delicious food." ”

"Hey, it could be a matter of several lives. Lina glanced at Pennis: "You still want to eat? And the harvest festival has three days, and it is nothing to delay for one day." ”

"One day?" said Pannis, smirking noncommittally, "if you're worried about something happening, he's more likely to happen." ”

Lina didn't understand at all: "What do you mean?"

"A lion taught me what the law is. Pannis shrugged: "Who knows what it means." ”

"It's weird. Lina muttered suspiciously, pulling Pannis back to Milak, "We have decided, agree to your request." ”

"Thank you so much, Sage Lina. Milak bowed deeply in gratitude.

"I'm a pastor, Pastor Lina. Lina emphasized solemnly.

Milak nodded knowingly, "Okay, Pastor Lina." The city guards to assist you will be here soon, so please wait. ”

"It's okay, let's take this time to ask everyone about the situation. Lina turned to the five villagers, pointed to the one on the far left, and said, "You guys talk about the situation in turn, starting with you." ”

"I, my son is gone. The villager said with some surprise: "After the festival just now, my wife went home to set up the stall, and when she cleaned up the stall, she sent my son to the field outside the village to give me another freshly sharpened sickle, but after more than an hour, he did not arrive, so we followed the road to look for it, but only found my sickle on the road." ”

"Scythe on the ground?" asked Pannis.

"No, hanging from a tree on the side of the road. ”

"Okay, I see, what about you?" Lina pointed to the next villager.

The second villager rubbed his hands anxiously: "My wife can't be found." After the festival, she took the two travelers who had borrowed my house last night to the grocery store on the other street to buy something, and never came back, I went to the grocery store to look for it, and they said that my wife didn't go at all. ”

"The two travelers are gone, too?" asked Lina.

"Yes, it's gone. ”

"Got it, next. Lina pointed to the third villager.

The third villager pulled another person next to him and said, "We are husband and wife, and my father went out for a walk this morning and never came back. We thought that my father went directly to the memorial, but we didn't see him at the memorial, and when we came back, we asked many people, and they all said they didn't see him. ”

"What about you?" said Lina, gesturing to the last female villager.

"My husband went to the field in the morning to prepare for the memorial service, but after the memorial service, I was told that he had not been to the field at all, and I couldn't find him when I looked around. ”

"Well, I have a general idea of the situation. Lina knocked on the table again: "You guys wait a while, let's discuss." ”

Pannis and Milak were pulled aside by Lina, who whispered to Milac, "How are they usual?"

"All very honest. Milak was clearly familiar with the villagers: "The family is very harmonious. ”

"What do you say, Pannis. Lina turned her gaze to Pannis.

"There's nothing to say. Pannis shook his head and said, "I can come up with at least twenty reasons to speculate on the reasons why everyone is missing, just listening to them, I have no clue at all, I have to go and see." ”

"Just then, she's coming. Mirak greeted a man who had just entered the door: "Here you are, my child. ”

"Lord Pastor, what's wrong?" the woman in leather armor and leather shield looked at the people in the room.

Milak pointed at Pannis and Lina: "Several villagers are missing, and I asked two professionals to help investigate. These two are very good professionals, you can help them. ”

"Yes. The leather-armored woman tapped her right hand on her left shoulder and saluted Lina and Pannis.

"What do you call you?" Lina looked at the new city guard, this was a very ordinary girl, with a more toned body than ordinary women, her skin was tanned brown from long training in the sun, her brown hair was cut short, and her hands were covered with calluses.

"Ledia. "The language of the leather-armored woman is simple and concise, and she has a military style.

"Hello Ladia, my name is Lina, this is Pannis, thank you for coming to help us. Lina nodded to Lydia.

"It's my duty, Professional. Lydia replied aloud.

"Okay, okay, I'm not your superior, and I'm not a city guard here, you don't need to be so serious and restrained, relax. Lina patted Lydia's arm and said, "Time is pressing, let's talk about the specific situation on the road, let's go to the place where the incident happened." ”

"Yes. Ladia replied in a loud and serious voice, still serious.

Lina shrugged helplessly at Pannis, who snickered and turned around and waved to the villagers: "Everyone, now please go with the three of us, let's go first, well, first, let's go to the place where you found the scythe first, and you can lead the way." ”

"Pastor Lina. Milak suddenly stopped Lina and whispered, "When you investigate, can you ......?"

"I understand. Lina nodded: "We won't make much of a fuss if possible, don't worry." ”

"Thank you. Mirak smiled and thanked, "Excuse me." ”
