In the name of the true god

Chapter 65 Apology

Ordinary prison guards will switch between day and night shifts after completing a full rotation of their shifts in the four prison districts.

Jude's squad will be rotating to the regular prison ward this Saturday, with their working hours changing from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm to 7:30 pm to 7:30 am.

He couldn't expect to take a vacation anytime soon, but the night shift actually gave him the opportunity to meet Detective Stefan Nolan at the docks during the day.

As for working at night, conducting investigations during the day, practicing the laws of contact and similarity, taking care of cats and dogs, and further refining the rescue plan—isn't it busy and tiring?

Jude felt that if he persisted for a few days, he should be able to follow the clues and find out the fat wizard's whereabouts without any problems.

If all goes well, they might have made significant progress before seeing Edmund again.

Once the secrets of possessing the dual laws, the Möbius strip, and the ouroboros ring are revealed, one will be able to use the past to "change the present" with greater ease. There will also be less need for caution and hesitation regarding whether or not to reveal the future to Edmund.

Tuesday and Wednesday, which are October 23 and 34 of the Christian calendar year 448.

Having completely abandoned his sense of shame, Jude continued to strengthen his empathy for the puppy.

Thanks to his exceptional learning ability, he can now acquire the skills he used to spend one or two hours imitating, in just ten minutes, and maintain them for one to two minutes without any special stimulation.

At this rate, by the end of October, we should be able to reach the level that Allen mentioned, where "one can directly acquire abilities simply by performing the corresponding actions."

Then you won't have to crawl all over the place anymore.

After all, this is a huge test for the knees.

Also.

On Wednesday evening, Jude's brother Connor, whom he hadn't seen for several days, finally showed up and handed him a newly purchased used car and the corresponding driver's license.

After taking the driver's license and glancing at it, Jude belatedly realized that the driver's license in this other world was completely different from the one in his previous life.

The driver's license in this other world is only used to register the basic information of the car owner, and has absolutely nothing to do with the rigorous driving skills test required in my previous life.

When his brother first heard him say that a driver's license could be obtained with money, he thought there was some shady way involved.

Thursday, October 25th, 448th year of the Divine Calendar, is the regular payday for the Royal Capital Heavy Prison.

A regular prison guard's daily wage is generally 3 gold grams, with an additional 10 gold grams for perfect attendance. Jude joined on October 5th, less than a month ago, so he only receives a base salary of 60 gold grams.

He is quite satisfied with his current income level.

With a house to live in, a car to drive, and even meals provided by the prison, 60 gold coins are more than enough to cover all other miscellaneous expenses.

Not to mention, Connor still had nearly six thousand gold coins left to him, and Steele's check for ten thousand gold coins remained untouched.

7:30 p.m.

Temporary rest room for prison guards.

"The ball starts promptly at nine o'clock." The vain Colin, changing into casual clothes, reminded everyone, "Go back and take a shower, change into clean clothes, and get there as early as possible. We'll meet at the entrance of the Mitchell Hotel."

"Okay," the poet Anders replied excitedly.

Allen hesitated for a long time, then looked at Jude cautiously: "Should I come find you first, and then we can go together?"

"Sure," Jude readily agreed.

Ever since he discussed his position with President Frost that day, he had clearly sensed that his relationship with Allen was somewhat delicate.

However, Allen didn't take the initiative to talk to him, and he didn't plan to rush to ask.

8:30 p.m.

After Jude returned home, fed the golden retriever and the Siamese kitten, took a shower, and put on the pinstripe wool suit that his brother Connor had left him, Allen knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Here we are." Jude quickly tidied himself up in front of the mirror, put on his leather shoes, and went downstairs with Allen to the secondhand car. "Get in."

"Did your brother buy this for you?" Alan got into the passenger seat.

Considering that the seven thousand gold coins were also given by Connor, Jude did not deny it: "Yes."

"Any new intelligence in the last few days?"

"No." Jude started the car and drove towards the Mitchell Hotel. "My brother was already a little unhappy about that time I went to see Steele without permission to find out what was going on. I'll try to subtly inquire about it again in a few days."

"Okay—" Allen awkwardly spread his hands and rubbed them on his thighs. "Well, the main reason I asked to meet you earlier today is—to apologize to you."

"An apology?" Jude thought Allen had come specifically to ask about the progress of his plans.

Allen took a deep breath: "Actually, the reason I went to see you with the president last time was to find out whether your stance was still trustworthy. But—you have already shown the utmost sincerity, and we shouldn't doubt you."

""

"I see—" Jude could sense it.

"I was a bit emotional at the time and said some harsh things. I hope you won't take it to heart."

Jude didn't take it seriously at all: "If it were me, after three years of hard work lying low, seeing that the people I was working with had unclear positions, and all my efforts were likely to be in vain, I'd probably start cursing. You just gave me a few words of advice, why should I care?"

He doesn't have a particularly good temper, but at least he can distinguish right from wrong.

He joined the Divine Descent Society with the intention of protecting his brother and sister-in-law. Conversely, why shouldn't the Divine Descent Society question him because of this?

As long as neither of us gets hung up on the details, it's nothing.

Seeing that Jude was really taking it all in stride, Allen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. You haven't seemed quite right lately, and I thought it was because of this."

Jude, of course, couldn't reveal that he was troubled by Edmund's request, so he could only make up an excuse: "I'm not feeling well? Probably because of the execution on Monday. I took several showers when I got home, but I still feel like I'm carrying that smell of burning corpses, it's really uncomfortable."

"It's all an illusion. You'll get used to it after experiencing it a few more times. — By the way, how's your study of the similarity law going? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I haven't found a chance to tell you yet. I've successfully achieved resonance with the dog. Now, the main thing is to try to shorten the resonance time. Otherwise, it takes too long and is not practical at all to learn to crawl like a dog every time."

""

"Indeed, we can take it slow."

The two chatted idly, and the strange atmosphere of the previous few days gradually faded as they opened up about their conversation.
