Chapter 139: Black Tea

"Ronald, you also received that invitation from the Bureau of Investigation, right?"

When Ronald opened the door, Patricia walked into the room generously.

The girl in her regular clothes and dragging a dinner plate in her hand glanced at her and immediately saw the letter on Ronald's desk.

With one hand, he took out the letter he had received this morning, identical to Ronald's, and shook it.

Patricia smiled and said:

"How about [Yoyo Reading]?"

"Why don't we go together?"

"Absolutely."

Ronald nodded and accepted the girl's invitation.

After a pause, he shifted the conversation to something else:

"But before that, I'll probably have to go to church in two days."

"According to the Bureau of Investigation, they hope that during this time, I can go and conduct a review of the mysterious side forces."

"This ......"

"That's true."

Patricia nodded as usual, and explained as if she were a casual chatter:

"If you haven't had a formal record before, it's best to go to the church and register. This way, even if you have to move around in other cities in the country, or in some ocean-going colonies, it will be quite convenient to register. ”

"The ID card in our Grad territory is actually quite easy to use."

"And the church's censorship is generally not too ......"

"Wait......"

At this, Patricia raised an eyebrow.

She remembered how Ronald had used the spell before.

Nodding slightly, she put the tray she was holding on the table, picked up a cup and took a sip of hot tea, and then she analyzed it in a serious tone:

"If it were Ronald, you might have been treated quite carefully by the church, and the situation might have been a little different."

“......”

It seems that he feels that his tone is too serious.

Patricia raised her left hand to her chest and adjusted her posture slightly, half-leaning on the edge of the table:

"Of course, I'm not saying that you should be ready for battle."

"This kind of prudence does not mean that the church is going to make any out-of-the-ordinary moves."

"It's just that compared to the inspection of ordinary mysterious people, their attitude towards you must be much more serious, at least it won't be a random priest to take a look and be done."

"Patricia ......"

After listening to the other party's words, Ronald asked:

"Do you know the church's vetting process?"

"Someone like me is going on."

"My words have been guaranteed by my family's background since I was a child, so I haven't seen them with my own eyes."

The girl shook her head in denial, but still said as much as she knew:

"But from what I've seen in Springs, church censorship is generally for you to show the strength of the school, and then ask some questions to do a personality survey."

"That's right!" Patricia's eyes suddenly lit up, and she picked up another cup of hot tea from the table and handed it to Ronald, "Or else...... I'll go with you then! With me present, the church will definitely follow the formal process for the review. ”

“......”

Looking at Patricia's expression, Ronald also remembered the look in the priest's eyes when he looked at him that night.

Patricia's invitation at the moment.

Maybe it's really a good protection for yourself.

"Okay."

Taking the teacup from the other hand, Ronald also took a sip.

It is a completely different type of tea from the landlady, this is Patricia's private black tea, which is fresh and refreshing, and even a small sip is refreshing.

Immediately, Ronald opened his mouth and thanked:

"Thank you, Patricia."

"Even this kind of thing has to trouble you to come here."

"Nothing, aren't we friends?" The girl smiled lightly, and the topic changed, "But Ronald, there is one more thing to tell you in advance. ”

Ronald nodded:

"Please."

Patricia then continued:

"When the Bureau of Investigation banquet is finished, I should be leaving Brenwich. My mother asked me to investigate the murderer and the demon named Ramer was arrested, and it was time for me to return to Springs......"

At this point, Patricia's voice gradually became smaller.

And Ronald nodded slightly.

He could see that Patricia was hesitant, so he just waited quietly for the other party's choice.

After a few breaths of silence, the girl's eyes quickly calmed down.

Immediately, she said in a serious tone:

"Ronald, have you considered coming to Springs for development?"

"At the end of the day, Brenwich is just a tourist city on the border. Springs is the capital of our country and at the same time the center of world civilization. Whether it is the mysterious side or the mass society, if you want to develop yourself, it is the most suitable choice. ”

As Patricia spoke, her eyes were staring at Ronald without blinking, and her fingers holding the teacup were unconsciously using their strength.

- She made no secret of her feelings.

So, after quite careful thinking.

Ronald nodded earnestly as well.

"In the future, I'm going to go to Springs."

"But it's not going to be now."

"In the city of Brunwich, I still have some things that I care about but not finished, and there are also some doubts that need to be answered, waiting for me to pursue the answers."

“......”

"In that case, then I am waiting for that day."

After listening to Ronald's words, Patricia smiled.

Placing the half-drunk cup on the tray, she picked it up and walked out the door.

"In two days' time, remember to call me before you go to church."

"We'll see you there."

"No problem."

Smack-

The door was closed.

Ronald watched Patricia leave.

He waited a few seconds before he sat back in his chair.

The weather was cold, and the marks left by the girl leaning on the table had not faded.

The teacup in his hand was gently placed in front of the table, and Ronald's eyes fell on the steaming tea, gradually drifting away.

Invitation ...... the Church

What will it look like, exactly?

The organization of the church, he is actually quite curious.

According to information obtained during a review of the Investigative Bureau, the Church was a major force in the persecution and hunting down of occult individuals during the Dark Ages, long ago.

Although it also uses the power of the original scriptures, the church, an organization that spreads through the spread of faith, has steadily suppressed ordinary mystical people in almost every way.

The mystery side information is not easy to disseminate, and this is a rather serious problem.

But on the Church's side, the false myths woven by the clergy can serve as a bridge between the church's magicians and the general public.

What is the reason for this one-sided situation to be overturned?

This is indeed something to be concerned about.
