Chapter 150: Rewards (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"This guy is truly a talent for religious work."
Aaron looked at Nicholas, his gaze filled with some admiration: "So... Nicholas, what do you plan to do next?"
"Thanks to the grace of my Lord, I have been restored to normal!"
Nicholas said piously: "I will return to the Holy Spirit Church as a survivor to spread the radiance of my Lord!"
Now that the Archbishop of the Green Forest Cathedral had defected and everyone else was wiped out, if Nicholas could prove his own innocence, his future would be bright indeed!
"You seemed to have joined a secret organization before?"
Aaron thought for a moment and asked.
Not only had he robbed them twice, but they were still unaware of it and had to pay him protection money every month.
"The operation to explore the ruins has come to a successful conclusion. The information you provided was quite useful. According to our previous agreement, you may receive a certain reward."
"No, no need..." Liliyat first waved her hand, then asked expectantly: "I... can I offer them as a contribution to the Cult?"
Aaron explained.
"Very good. It is now equivalent to a special Talisman, so it has no negative effects..."
"Look at those lunatics from the Black Sun Cult, aren't they crazy enough? So that was a factor in it..."
Aaron gave a word of caution while patching things up.
Finally, he recounted the Archbishop after the mutation, describing the weird appearance of the other party as a human-skin skeleton and the ability to drive a large number of insects.
Liliyat reached for the Straw Doll; without a doubt, compared to Pounds and materials, the value of a Magical Item was the highest, even if it was one-time use.
Not only that, once someone investigated the 'Spirit of Falsehood' and the secret organization that worshipped Him, and caught Liliyat or Nicholas, it would ultimately point to the Iron Fist Gang, but the Iron Fist Gang could only passively wait for his contact and could not track him down at all.
"Yes!"
Aaron walked out of a dark street, having already put on a Human Skin Mask, changed his face, and then put on a Raven Mask, arriving at Liliyat's Safe House and knocking on the door.
Aaron gave his contact information and simultaneously mourned for this gang.
The muscles on Nicholas's face twisted slightly as he recalled the terror of that night, recounting everything clearly without missing a single detail.
Seeing Aaron, she immediately opened the door respectfully and welcomed him inside.
He looked at Liliyat and smiled.
"No, there is no need. You can continue to stay in that school; they can help you cover up many things. As for them, think of an explanation yourself, such as meeting a magical physician who stabilized or cured your condition..."
Aaron instructed.
One hour later, Iver Bridge District.
"I choose the Protective Doll!"
"This Straw Doll could originally absorb an enemy's attack and return it at the right moment, but it was damaged... After repairs, it can barely be used as a one-time Protective Doll, capable of blocking one fatal attack for you, and it is especially effective against curses! After being used once, it will be completely destroyed."
"High awareness, knowing to pay the cult dues automatically..."
He actually hoped that the 'Spirit of Falsehood' could send His messenger to finish off that evil Roberts.
"Also, it turns out that every time the essence improves, it increases a type of madness and thirst? I don't feel anything at all; it must be the special nature of the Spirit of Falsehood's Purification Authority..."
Aaron nodded inwardly; this matched the information he had obtained from the Bone Worship Society.
Nicholas nodded, while at the same time looking at the mysterious 'rapier' with awe in his heart.
They included a Straw Doll with a deep wound on its head, several materials full of pure Spirituality without pollution, and one thousand Pounds in paper notes.
"You may choose any one of these items."
"Does your Excellency have any other instructions?" Nicholas asked respectfully.
"Yes, it is called the 'Sunset School', focusing on the study of ancient secrets, and has been pursuing the mystery of the sun's fall..."
As for those few pieces of pure Spirit Material and the one thousand Pounds in cash, Liliyat naturally recognized them.
His voice became serious: "In the doctrine of my Lord, there is the principle of equivalent exchange. For every transaction, there must be a return. You must not violate the doctrine of my Lord!"
Liliyat trembled all over. Since it had been raised to the level of doctrine, what else could she say?
To dare to give it up would be apostasy!
She scanned the items on the table, feeling very tempted by the few pieces of Spirit Material, then looked at the damaged Straw Doll, feeling it might be some kind of Magical Item.
If that happened, it was possible that her entire family would be killed!
"Lord God's Messenger, please come in!"
Nicholas sold out his original school without the slightest hesitation: "Do I need to withdraw to prove my piety?"
"Protect yourself, and at the same time scout for all news about the Sunset School, as well as the movements of the authorities... Alright, we have stayed long enough, it is time to go."
Aaron began to clear away the Spirit Wall he had set up.
Aaron placed the items on the table one by one.
Aaron complained inwardly: "It's a pity I don't have a cult to maintain, and this is Jinni's descendant, so I should take care of her a little..."
"Based on the 'Pupa', supplemented by the 'Red', an 'Insect Nest', is it?"
In the living room, the kerosene lamp flickered with a warm light.
Aaron did not want to give up that school; after all, there was a high probability that the other party was following the path of the 'Luminary'.
"By the way, tell me everything that happened at the Green Forest Cathedral!"
Nicholas calmly accepted the order to be an undercover agent: "I will find a reasonable explanation."
As he spoke, he collected the Pounds and materials: "Green Forest City will be very uneasy recently. Our contact frequency must be reduced. Remember to protect yourself."
Anyone who could guide believers to receive a response was either a God's Messenger or a God's Favored!
His tone could not help but become respectful: "If I want to contact your Excellency, what should I do? This gathering has already decided to adjourn for a long time..."
"Very good. Remember, there is no need to pray to my Lord usually, nor is there any need for Rituals. He does not care! Nor will He respond to the prayers of believers at will."
This was what Aaron had previously arranged with Liliyat through the Iron Fist Gang, to meet at the Safe House after the gathering.
"There is a gang in this city called the Iron Fist Gang; they can contact me."
"Yes!"
This doll originally belonged to the owl Aolifu, but after it was destroyed by Aaron, he picked it back up and used the ability of a Light Shepherd to repair it, during which he also used a 'Spirit of Falsehood' to perform Purification, so it was quite good as an amulet and was the life-saving item he intended to give to Liliyat.
For Extraordinarys of the same pathway, the more companions there are, the more abundant the resources!
"Understood!"
The door cracked open a sliver, revealing Liliyat's face wearing glasses.
"I will."
Liliyat was very confident about this; after all, the Doren family were not outsiders in the local area, so the possibility of being suspected was very small.
