Sherlock Holmes is not a warp god.

The Holmes brothers each had their own room, but that was all.

Unfortunately, Sherlock was unwilling to sleep side-by-side with Watson, so Watson would have to sleep on the sofa tonight.

To be honest, Fren actually wanted to send Watson to Sherlock's bed.

Before going upstairs to sleep, Fren specifically asked where the orphanage that adopted those children was located.

The next day was another ordinary workday. As usual, Floren greeted Miss Joel without saying anything extra, which made Miss Joel breathe a sigh of relief and no longer feel awkward.

Skillfully paddling in his private office at the city hall's policy department, Fren worked for three or four hours before driving to a church in a residential area at midday.

The Natural Church of Nature.

In this world's division, the God of Nature is also a righteous god, and similarly governs the realm of life.

It sounds somewhat similar to a benevolent father, but a benevolent father blesses based on illness, while the God of Nature tends to be more inclined towards tranquility.

In human observation of the God of Nature, we can find that extreme suffering and unrestrained indulgence deviate from the concept of nature and will not be noticed by the God of Nature.

The concept of the God of Nature leans towards balance; any mind that deviates from the middle way does not attract its attention.

In times of peace, the Natural Church has the largest number of believers because the entry requirements are very low.

However, it is not so simple for believers to advance further in the hierarchy of the natural church and become true believers.

At this moment, the natural church in front of Fren did not have any magnificent buildings; it was more like a large residential area.

According to Charlotte, the children lived with some believers in one of the buildings in the complex.

Even if these children can control their strength well, living with ordinary people, it's unclear whether nature has taught them to be less intelligent or if they are overly confident in their own abilities.

When Freun first arrived at the Church of Nature, he followed the signs and found a small seven-story building that most people wouldn't notice at first glance. It is said that this unassuming building houses many of the Church of Nature's high-ranking officials in Berlin.

Upon entering, Furen noticed that there seemed to be quite a few people in the hall. He had arrived at the perfect time, as it happened to be the Church of Nature's weekly recruitment event.

If a believer passes the test and becomes a member, they can learn the mystical knowledge and extraordinary system of the Natural Church.

This "test" depends entirely on what the person in charge of the event thinks. Sometimes it's normal not to be able to recruit a single new person for one or two months.

Standing in the crowd, Furen, at 1.85 meters tall, could see what was happening inside.

A portly man stood in the middle, dressed in loose, simple casual clothes. Judging from the way the people around him treated him, he was probably a high-ranking member of the Church of Nature.

The fat man, using an umbrella as a walking stick, asked the person kneeling before him, "Who asked you to join the religion?"

"It was Teacher Canaan who asked me to join the church." A young man of about eighteen years old had a clear, innocent look in his eyes. Teacher Canaan was his high school teacher and also his neighbor. A few days ago, he was told that he had a connection with the Natural Church, so he came.

"Snapped!"

"Damn it, you have no backbone at all! Don't you have any initiative?" The fat man swung his umbrella and smacked the young man on the head, yelling, "Say it again!"

The young man was inexperienced but not stupid, and he quickly and cautiously changed his story, saying, "It was my own choice to join the religion."

"Snapped!"

"Fuck your mother!" the fat man roared again. "You have no respect for your elders, you act on your own initiative, I'll say it again!"

Although the umbrella was light, it still hurt a lot when it hit his head. The young man quickly rubbed his head, feeling like it was about to swell up. He felt a little aggrieved and mumbled something but couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, the fat man sized up the man, then nodded slightly, "Seeing that you are simple-minded and kind, I will accept you as a follower."

These words were like a pebble thrown into calm water, and the onlookers immediately became noisy.

Some people are envious, some are resentful, and some are jealous.

They never expected that today's test would be so simple; they could be converted to the religion with just a few questions.

But no one questioned the Bishop of Nature, since they were now living in places owned by the Church of Nature, and the monthly rent was cheaper than elsewhere.

After seeing this situation, Furen felt something was off, a bit... comical.

Besides this young man, there were several other believers who had made appointments to join the church today. They were all asked a few questions, and then the fat man selected two more people from among them and allowed them to join the church.

Fren frowned slightly. This kind of church is like a joke. What kind of good church could it be?

Just like the garden, Fren could never join.

However, Fren didn't come to join the church. He wasn't even a believer in the God of Nature. He just wanted to see how the little ones were being settled.

Linda still suffers from the pain of separation from loved ones and the pain of being with those she hates. When she grows to a certain point, Fren will come to harvest her, so naturally he will make sure that his little leeks are safe and sound.

"Where is Bishop Bandok?" Fren asked a parishioner. Watson told Fren that these children were under Bishop Bandok's care.

What a coincidence! The Bishop of Bandok is the same fat man from earlier.

In this world, every church has an archbishop in different regions, and below the archbishop are bishops.

The church is basically regionally autonomous; whoever succeeds as the archbishop of a regional church has nothing to do with churches in other regions.

This is why churches in different regions that believe in the same God can be vastly different.

In Ostonia, there is only one Church of Nature; the churches in other cities are simply branches of this Church. The Bishop of Bandok's position is second only to the Archbishop, and Fren is somewhat curious as to why this bishop personally arranges the children's affairs.

Looking at the chubby face before him, Furen felt no hostility, but a strange sense of wariness arose within him. He didn't know where this feeling came from; an inexplicable intuition told Furen that he must be polite to this bishop.

The bishop personally took Fren to see the children. Fren saw several small but clean dormitories, and there were also hired believers taking care of them.

Watching Linda planting flowers with Anya from afar, Fren didn't approach to speak, but quietly turned and left.

Throughout the journey, Fren could sense that Bishop Bandok seemed quite interested in him, watching him the whole time.

Just as Fren was about to leave the Church of Nature, he heard Bishop Bandok say, "Sir, please wait!"

Fren was slightly startled; the bishop's words sounded like "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."

"Mr. Holmes, I feel you have a connection with the Church of Nature. Would you like to join us?" The fat bishop put his arm around Fren, looking a bit like a pyramid scheme conman.
