Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 457 Is their identity important?
Lingge never knew about this. Ronning Lavelle actually wanted to invite him to join the Witch Society?
The expression on his face finally changed, and the others looked at him in surprise, then looked up at Lang Ning. Although they knew that the timing was not right, they all pricked up their ears at the same time, wanting to know what was going on.

"Just an attempt."

Lang Ning did not shy away from talking about this past event, because he really admired Ling Ge at that time, and the entire process from recommendation to assessment was in line with the rules and regulations of the association, and there was no violation. He said: "At that time, Mr. Ling Ge was still a pastor of Tianxin Church, but he took the initiative to contact the parish committee and expressed his willingness to accept the control of the "Religious Ordinance". During my conversation with him, I found that his thinking logic and values ​​were very consistent with the style of the association, so I recommended him to the Human Resources Management Bureau. Although the final assessment results were not satisfactory, I still have not changed my original opinion to this day. I still think that he is a very suitable candidate and has great potential."

Christian stared at Linger for a while, and suddenly asked: "Even if he is a clergyman and has his own beliefs?"

"But his attitude towards faith is not as devout as we imagined. This may offend you, Mr. Ling, but this is how I personally feel. I hope you don't mind." Ronning politely apologized to the young man. Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and did not answer. He just told him with a calm expression that he did not care about such trivial matters. Then Ronning turned around and continued to answer Christian's question: "Besides, faith has never been the most important thing for us. As long as it is not the pillar of the soul, it is enough. As for what else it is, it doesn't matter."

"That sounds so weird." Alice couldn't help but express her opinion when she heard this. She poked Lang Ning with a suspicious look: "Aren't you members of the United Church and believers of the Seven Gods? You actually said that faith is not important. Aren't you afraid that your own gods will be angry and punish you?"

Even if you really don't believe it, at least do a good job on the surface. So many people are listening.

The three of them had different reactions when they heard this, but they also had a subtle similarity: Christian's mouth curled up, as if he was sneering; Ronning shook his head slightly, obviously having a different opinion but not saying it out loud; as for Dickens, he had a rather ambiguous smile on his face, and his tone was also very ambiguous: "Individual opinions and views have always been closely related to their positions. Different standpoints lead to completely opposite perspectives on the world. If you look at this issue from the same position and standpoint as us, I'm afraid you will understand what we are saying, young lady."

"Oh?" Alice's eyes lit up: "Does this mean you want to invite me to join the Witch Society too?"

Uh.

"Mr. Langning," he lowered his voice so that the guests wouldn't hear, "This enthusiastic and lively lady should be the mysterious girl Alice who suddenly appeared next to the target mentioned in the report, right?"

She defended herself so loudly that even the enemies around her knew her identity as a "spy", but they all thought that this guy was just talking nonsense and therefore did not take it seriously. Dickens smiled at first and did not take it seriously. But when he heard Alice calling herself "Little Bond", the smile on his face suddenly faded. He silently withdrew his gaze and looked at Christian, and also saw a look of vigilance and suspicion in the other's eyes.

She withdrew her gaze in dismay, only to find that her companions were looking at her with strange eyes, especially Nevile and Leticia. They had not been in contact with Alice for a long time and thought that she really wanted to abandon her companions and join the enemy camp, so they silently moved a few steps away and distanced themselves from her.

Dickens paused, "...Unfortunately, I don't have any plans in this regard for the time being."

"I don't want to join the Witch Society!"

Alice quickly explained: "I just want to get into the enemy and gather intelligence! Do you know what a spy is? I am the best spy in the world. Everyone calls me Little Bond!"

"What?" Alice hung her head, listlessly saying, "Then don't say such misleading things!"

"Yes." Lang Ning also lowered his voice: "And, my initial suspicion is that she might have led the target to the path of a magician. At least, during the period when I came into contact with the target, he did not have any magical aura."

"Have you found out her background?"

"Unfortunately, the investigating team can attest that there are no clues pointing to her exact origins." "She knows so much knowledge that she shouldn't know."

“This is the first time I know this.”

"But he said he had never heard of the so-called Bridge to Heaven."

"..."

"So, where did she come from?" Dickens raised his head, looked at the night sky shrouded in deep darkness, and smiled deeply: "Did she fall from the sky?"

Lang Ning was silent for a moment. He couldn't answer this question because he didn't know. If he had known that there would be a meeting today, he should have asked the night watchmen in Linweier City to thoroughly investigate Tianxin Church. Unfortunately, not everything in this world can be summarized as if.

"No matter what," he emphasized, "the identities of these people are very important. The outcome of their treatment must wait until Lord Fei'er returns. At the same time, we must try our best to stabilize their emotions and avoid unexpected situations. I am not very good at this, so I am afraid I have to ask you, Mr. Dickens."

"That's not difficult, but I don't quite understand it. In my opinion, the only person who is really important is this girl named Alice. The knowledge she possesses is astonishing. As for the others, what's the importance of them? Even Mr. Ling, he almost joined the association, but he didn't really join."

"Because the god he believes in is a goddess."

"Which goddess?"

"There is only one goddess in this world."

Dickens stopped talking for a moment. Even Christian, who was observing the guests, turned his head slightly and focused on the conversation between the two. Langning took a step forward, his expression serious and his tone low. He deliberately made his voice sound only in an area of ​​about half a meter, that is, only the two closest people could hear it: "Before leaving the Scarlet Night Gate, Lord Feier received an investigation report from the A-1152 Arbitration Team, which clearly mentioned that the remnants of the once destroyed Goddess of Creation still remain in the world, and changed their name to the Holy Goddess Church, and have been lingering on until now. If the investigation results are correct, then the target should be the only remaining priest of the Holy Goddess Church. In addition, in the last witch meeting, Lord Carabosse clearly mentioned that the seven saints who disappeared with the destruction of the Goddess of Creation have begun to return to the world."

Combining these two points, a simple conclusion emerges.

Both Dickens and Christian immediately understood what Browning meant, but they did not say it out loud. Instead, they kept it in their hearts, knowing that some things must be kept secret to be considered a real secret. If they were discussed in public, it would probably cause even greater chaos.

Christian took out his pocket watch and took a look. There was still one minute and fifteen seconds left before the five-minute deadline agreed upon with Lord Fei Er. He used his eyes to hint to his old colleague. Dickens' expression became more serious, and he nodded slightly: "I understand."

Then he looked up and met a pair of calm eyes.

It was Linger who was looking at him.
