Don't call me evil god

Chapter 829 Top Secret Commission
Somehow.

When Wallace walked into the hotel where Mendel was staying, he always felt that some vague eyes were cast on him.

He instinctively turned his head and glanced around, but apart from the patrolling Crusaders, he didn't see any suspicious figures.

"Illusion?" Wallace was a little puzzled: "Why did I feel like someone was staring at us just now?"

Miss Valerie, who came to the Kalezi Territory with him, also frowned slightly.

“I also felt like someone was watching us.”

Wallace rubbed his head, put the strange feeling behind him, and guessed casually: "It may be a resident of a nearby house."

If he was in an unsafe place like a black market or a dark alley, Wallace would definitely be on high alert and try to carefully check whether he was being followed or targeted by a pickpocket.

But now he is in the largest city in the Earldom of Kalez, and there are Crusaders nearby!
If there really was any sneaky guy, he would have been caught by the Crusaders long ago!

This was out of his trust in the Crusaders.

As the "violent agency" of the Glowing God Cult, they are also very good at maintaining law and order in towns. Especially those cultists who hide in shady places to plot conspiracies will be discovered and eliminated by the Crusaders before they can hide for long.

So Wallace didn't take this little episode seriously and walked straight into the hotel.

I identified myself to the clerk at the hotel front desk and quickly asked about the room that the Mendel scholar was renting.

"On the third floor, go up the stairs over there and walk inside. The second suite is Mr. Mendel's."

"He should be in his room right now. At noon he asked the chef to make him some vegetable soup and cut some bread for him."

Wallace and Valerie walked up the creaking wooden stairs to the third floor.

The rooms here are all "high-end rooms" of the hotel. The so-called suites are naturally different from the narrow cubicles on the second floor with only two beds.

The suite includes a bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom, a living room, and even a small study.

Whether it is a confidential conversation between businessmen or a tryst between lovers, it is very suitable to take place in this kind of environment.

Finding the suite the clerk had described, Wallace knocked on the door.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

After waiting for about half a minute, no one responded.

Wallace frowned slightly, took out a flip-top pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time.

"its not right?"

"It's already evening. Even if Mendel wanted to take a nap, he should have woken up by now."

He had no choice but to knock on the door a few more times.

"Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom!!!!"

This time there was a response from the room.

But it was a voice that sounded frustrated:

"I've told you before! I'll find a way to verify the list of materials you need. Can you please not come to confirm every day? I've told you so many times that the noise you make will disturb the train of thought of an old man like me!"

"I had a new idea and finally had some clues, but you guys messed it up and it became a mess again!"

Wallace was inexplicably scolded, and immediately responded angrily:
"Old man! Who are you saying is making the noise?"

"If you are deaf, ask the priest to heal your ears. If you have no ideas or clues, it means you are not good enough. How can you do good research if you stay in a place like the capital every day and enjoy this and that?"

"Open the door! It's me! Wallace!"

Ten seconds later.

The door was swished open from the inside, and the door hinges creaked because the action was so fast.

Mendel Gregg had an ugly expression on his face when he saw the visitor.

"Old immortal?!"

"Didn't I write to tell you? I have to assist the Crusaders with some work recently, so I can't go to Ceylon for the time being."

"Why did you come here by yourself?"

"I also brought a... uh..."

Mendel turned his gaze to Valerie. Wallace's face darkened: "Why can't I come over here!"

"Old man, I recently found a mysterious item that I'm not sure about. It may have an extremely important use. Now I need someone to preside over a divine ritual to identify it."

"I thought of you the first time!"

"I left such a good opportunity to you, but the first thing you said when you saw me was, 'You old fool?'"

"Also, her name is Valerie, and she's considered my student now."

Mendel's eyes subconsciously lit up when he heard Wallace talk about the mysterious object.

Like Wallace, he is a senior scholar with a strong and full curiosity.

The more mysterious and unclear something is, the more interested they are in it and the more they want to figure out its function.

Exploring the unknown is the greatest pleasure for scholars.

But this brief surprise was quickly diluted by his chaotic mood.

Mendel hesitated for a moment, then turned sideways and motioned for the two to go into the room first and sit down before talking.

Wallace noticed that his longtime friend seemed to be in trouble.

"Old man, what's wrong with you?"

Mendel sank down on the cushioned sofa in the reception room.

He seemed to be a little fatter than Wallace. Although he also looked like an elderly man, he didn't look as skinny as a stick.

“…How should I put it?”

Mendel sighed:
"I thought I hinted clearly enough in the letter. I am reminding you not to come to me during this period."

"In the end you came here anyway!"

"So, now there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Wallace: “Good news?”

Mendel said slowly: "The good news is that you will receive a top-secret commission from the Crusaders just like me."

"Archbishop Harris Eugene and the five legendary priests plan to jointly host a ceremony to strengthen the [Past Glory] barrier during the monster red tide."

"They entrusted me to help them verify the effect of the ceremony in advance and estimate the amount of materials that need to be prepared."

"If this ceremony can be successfully completed, we should all receive a very, very generous reward!"

Wallace was stunned for a moment.

His relationship with the Glowing God Cult has always been somewhat ambiguous.

Because he had previously made some remarks that "questioned" the incompleteness and incompleteness of the Glowing Divine Art, that incident made the Glowing Divine Cult dislike him.

As a result, I can now directly participate in such an important matter!

A ritual to strengthen the divine barrier of [Past Glory]!

"What about the bad news?"

Mendel said bitterly: "I used divine magic to examine this ritual."

"It turns out a huge secret has been discovered!"

"This reinforcement ritual is not aimed at the God of Light!"

"It is very likely not a radiant divine spell at all!"

"what?!"

Wallace made a sound of surprise.

"The divine ritual to strengthen the [Past Glory] barrier is not a divine magic of radiance?!"

"Are you kidding me?!"
