Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 207 206 Innocent Konate Chen

Feng Xiuhu consumed a lot of magic power yesterday, causing his spirit to be exhausted, and he slept until noon.

In a daze, Feng Xiuhu heard a rhythmic rustling sound and woke up slowly.

Sitting up, Feng Xiuhu stretched and muttered to himself that the recliner was too hard and his whole body was aching from sleeping.

When I turned around, I saw Wan Laiqiu - he was sweeping the yard with a broom.

When the broom came to his feet, Wan Laiqiu didn't even raise his eyelids and said lightly, "Lift your feet."

Feng Xiuhu quickly retracted his calves.

Wan Laiqiu glanced over calmly.

Feng Xiuhu was not polite and ordered, "Master, do you have any extra bedding? Bring it to me to cushion me. I guess I'll have to sleep here for a few more days."

Wan Laiqiu ignored him.

Feng Xiuhu was bored and stood up to do stretching exercises in the yard.

As soon as his butt left the recliner, Wan Laiqiu brought a wooden bucket, wet his handkerchief, wrung it dry, and began to wipe the recliner carefully.

Feng Xiuhu glanced at the closed door of the wooden house and asked, "The Queen isn't home?"

Wan Laiqiu replied this time: "The Queen Mother travels the world to protect the believers, so she won't be there all the time."

Feng Xiuhu was arrogant. "That's exactly what's wrong with you. As the Empress's top henchman, second only to her, you're the most powerful person in the temple, and yet you don't even take the initiative to help her share some of the burden? How can a secretary stay at the company to clean while the boss is out doing business? How can a secretary get the same salary as a cleaner?"

"You have a point."

Wan Laiqiu nodded in agreement. Before Feng Xiuhu could react, a handkerchief and a broom appeared in his hands.

Wan Laiqiu said, "Then I'll leave the rest of the work to you."

Feng Xiuhu quickly returned the item to him and said solemnly, "A secretary should balance work and life. You should learn this from Secretary Song."

Wan Laiqiu glanced at him and said, "How about you teach me?"

"I can tell from the first glance that your attitude is not correct."

Feng Xiuhu said as he walked out: "How can you shirk your job duties to others? I will tell the queen about what happened today - and deduct your pension insurance!"

……

Just today, the factory district church finally welcomed its bishop.

On the cobblestone path leading from the outer iron gate to the church archway, the Holy Guards and deacons stood on both sides, ready to welcome them.

When several carriages stopped outside the church, Konate Chen, dressed in a bishop's robe, got out, accompanied by several priests.

There are eleven priests in Konate, and more than half of them were brought here this time.

It seems that he is indeed ready to take over the temple completely.

In addition to the priests riding in the carriage, there were also divine guards following under the carriage. The leader of the divine guards was none other than Captain Byrne.

From now on, he will sit in the factory area temple with Konate Chen, and will also be responsible for protecting Konate Chen's safety.

With the rustling of armor, Guard Officer Morgan trotted out, came before Konate Chen and Byrne, and saluted with his chest: "Greetings!"

Bang!
With a chorus of shouts, all the Divine Guards saluted simultaneously.

Then, all the deacons folded their arms and saluted: "Praise the Mist."

Konate Chen smiled and nodded as a greeting, then walked straight towards the church arch.

Come to the study again.

Konate Chen looked around and found that the study had been tidied up and looked brand new - there was no trace of Feng Xiuhu's presence at all.

He nodded with satisfaction and walked to sit behind the desk. Konate Chen assigned each priest the next task, which did not take too much time.

After everything was arranged, Konate Chen looked at the time and felt that it was about time.

So he took off his bishop's robe and changed into casual clothes.

Then he called one of his most trusted priests and said, "Father Salu, I have some private matters to attend to. No one is allowed to come in until I come back."

Sarutau didn't ask any more questions. He bowed his head and touched his chest and replied, "I will follow your orders, Your Excellency."

Konate Chen tapped the floor with his cane, and his figure turned into mist and floated away from the window.

……

In an empty alley, Konate Chen's figure reunited.

He slightly tilted the brim of his hat, walked out of the alley, turned a corner and arrived at the door of the Modern Tea House.

The waiter came forward, putting on a smile and about to speak, but Konate Chen took out his wallet, pulled out a gold ticket and handed it to him: "Clear the second floor, I'm waiting for a friend."

As soon as the servant saw the gold voucher, he immediately understood what was going on. He took it and started to deal with it immediately.

Gold coupons are a type of redemption certificate issued by a silver bank and can be exchanged for ten silver plates.

In terms of value, it is not particularly valuable, but it can represent status.

Ordinary people can take gold coupons to silver banks to exchange them for real money, but they cannot use real money to exchange for gold coupons.

Because gold coupons existed to facilitate the nobility, only prominent figures could obtain gold coupons from the silver bank.

Soon, the second floor was completely cleared, and the owner of the teahouse came over personally to invite Konate Chen upstairs.

The servant brought the best tea, and Konate Chen took out a silver plate and placed it on the table: "I like a quiet environment."

The servant's hand brushed across the table, and he expertly put the silver plate into his sleeve, saying with a smile, "Don't worry, sir. I'm sure no one will come up to disturb you."

After saying this, the servant left quickly.

Konate Chen casually cast a spell and whispered, "In the name of the mist, memory is covered."

A wisp of mist lingered around the fingertips for several times and then quickly dissipated.

It's just a handy little spell that blurs a person's memory—for example, making someone who's seen Konate Chen in the teahouse unable to remember what he looked like.

After doing all this, Konate Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, he became excited again.

It’s not because he finally entered the temple today, this is what he deserves.

What really excited him was that he was about to meet the Duke's wife - once again, a date just for the two of them.

When he thought of this, Konate Chen suddenly felt a little nervous.

He turned to look out the window. It was just after noon.

Konate Chen didn't know exactly when the Duke's wife would arrive, but he didn't mind waiting a little longer - it would only prove that he was a decent gentleman.

His face was reflected in the window glass, and Konate Chen's heart was beating fast and he felt uneasy.

He first took off his hat and placed it on the table, then carefully used his hands to comb his slightly sparse hair in front of the glass; when he was satisfied with his hair, he felt that the bow tie on his chest was crooked, so he quickly untied it and tied it again; after finally straightening the bow tie, he started to fiddle with the buttons of his coat, unbuttoned two, but felt that they were not right, so he quickly buttoned another one.

He acted like an innocent guy who asked his goddess out for the first time.

Feng Xiuhu was secretly complaining in his heart.

He hid in the shadow of the corner, wishing he could go up and give Konate Chen some advice himself.
