"There are probably only a few people who naively believe that a dead person can keep the world at peace."

"Mr. Fate!"

"............." Fate shut up. He felt like he had annoyed the nun again.

Turning around, I saw that the other person was puffing up his cheeks, with a pair of lively eyes that said 'I'm angry'.

"Selfless and tolerant Grand Knight Commander, please forgive the rude man's words. He did not mean what he said..." Rowling clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly to the statue.

"Mr. Fate, why don't you apologize to the Grand Knight?"

"........." Fate, who rarely showed any expression, looked strange under his armor.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Oh, oh." Seeing that the nun was about to lose her temper, Fate could only nod his head twice woodenly, and followed suit, making a praying gesture to the statue.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." The words were full of perfunctory words, which made Miss Rowling roll her eyes.

"Mr. Fate, you are a clergyman of the church after all. It is basic quality to respect the Grand Knight Commander. Please remember this."

"I understand." Anyway, he would do whatever the nun said. He didn't want to have to eat only hot pot water for breakfast and lunch starting tomorrow.

There will be no good consequences if you offend the cook, so the wise thing to do is to give in.

"There is a god above us. Moreover, we are in a church that enshrines the statue of the Grand Knight Commander. Please show due respect to the statue."

"............" Fate didn't speak for a while.

respect.........

If Rowling knew that I used the statue as a clothesline during the weekend, would she be furious?

After all, the design of this church has two windows above the position where the statue is placed. When the sun comes out, the sunlight will be reflected through the windows onto this silver-white stone statue, adding a bit of sacredness and shock to the visual effect.

Hanging clothes in the courtyard will be seen by passers-by, which is somewhat indecent. But it is different if you hang them on the stone statue. You don’t even need to go out, and if it rains suddenly, you won’t get wet. It is also quite easy to collect the clothes.

Isn’t this a great indoor clothes drying pole? It would be a waste if we don’t use it to dry clothes, right? ?

Seeing the nun's expression at the moment, Fate felt it would be better not to tell this matter.

"Mr. Fate, I'm talking to you!" Seeing that Fate didn't respond for a long time, the nun was very dissatisfied.

"I understand." Fit nodded. Even if he didn't understand, he had to nod.

"Huh, I hope you understand." Rowling pouted, then ignored Fate and returned to her job, conscientiously and responsibly explaining the scriptures and doctrines to the believers who came to worship.

Miss Rowling is a very qualified nun at work. She is kind-hearted, 100% passionate about her work, and will patiently answer every question raised by the believers.

Apart from her mysterious excessive worship and devotion to the Knight Commander of Dawn, all other qualities of this nun are very good.

Fate raised his head. He really couldn't understand why Rowling admired her former self so much.

Along the way, although he adhered to his original intentions and had a clear conscience, he still did some things that were not understood by ordinary people for some reasons. This is also the reason why he is controversial on certain things.

Except for the regicide, most of the problems in the empire were accusations made by the nobles. However, in other places, such as the series of events in the Dream Forest, they were probably criticized by the locals.

Although it was a play he had agreed to do for others, he did some rather excessive things in order to completely cut off the feelings that the Elf Princess had for him..........

Although we no longer have any contact with each other, I just hope that I didn't hurt her too much at the beginning.

Therefore, Fate did not expect to have so many fanatical believers behind him.

He patted his iron head.

Why can't I help but think of the past again? ?

Instead of reminiscing about the past like an old man, it is better to think about what to eat tonight. This is the most practical thing.

So Fate reached into his purse and froze.

........Why did we overspend again this month?

Looking at the few copper coins in his hand, Fate felt a little distressed.

There is still a week left before salary is paid, and I only have a few coins left. How am I supposed to get through this?

To be honest, Fate's salary is definitely not low in Batti City. It is easily ranked as upper-middle level, but he just can't save money.

You wouldn't say he was extravagant. He was quite frugal with his clothes. Clothes were fine as long as they could cover his body and were not torn to the point of being unwearable. He could just wash them and continue wearing them.

Where he really spends money is on food and drink.

Every day after get off work, I would carry a wine jug to the city to get a full jug of iced blueberry wine, and drink it on my way back to church. I was not stingy at all with dinner in the evening and ate every meal out.

He couldn't cook, so he naturally wouldn't buy groceries and bring them back to the church to cook. Besides, even if he could cook, he would be too lazy to do it or clean up.

For now, he is just like a lazy guy who just eats and waits for death.

It would be fine if he just went out to eat, but he had to eat meat for every meal. It would take several plates of chicken and beef to barely fill him up.

Therefore, by the end of the month, Fate's wallet would be filled with air and shriveled up.

If you want to continue living, you can only reduce the cost of food, but...

Not at all.

Only in this regard, Fate does not want to save money or restrain himself.

If we can't even eat as we please, what's the point of living?

Chapter 57: 56~Free Meal

The setting sun cast a red glow, and the believers in the church were in twos and threes. It was time to get off work.

Rowling has already started packing her luggage and is ready to go home, facing the sunset. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely not meet some guy who never works overtime for a minute when she walks out of the church door.

She didn't know if the sun rose from the west today, or if something was wrong with someone's brain, but she actually saw a figure that shouldn't have appeared outside the church at dusk.

"Mr. Fate?" As if she was still unsure whether she had seen it wrong, Rowling, who was carrying her bag, tried to call out.

"............" Fate silently raised his eyes and glanced at Rowling. "What's wrong?"

"It's time to get off work, eh?"

"Ok, I know."

"Then why are you still in the church?" Rowling was puzzled. In the past, the moment the bell rang for the end of work, Fate would have ridden ten miles away from the church, and then appeared in some restaurant.

It is quite rare to be able to see this figure at dusk and sunset.

Rowling wondered if there had been any disturbances in her life recently. In the past month, there had been the cultist attacks and nightmares. Compared to her previous dull life, it was quite exciting.

"............." Fate was silent for a moment, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. "As a human being, there are always a few days in a month when you lose your way in life, ponder the eternal laws of the universe, reflect on the past, and choose the path for the future."

"Mr. Fate, you are the first one who can talk about not having money to eat in such an extraordinary way." Rowling looked at Fate with a strange expression.

As soon as these words were spoken, Fate immediately looked embarrassed. Although he was wearing a helmet so that his facial expression could not be seen, it strangely gave people such a feeling.

Fate, who had planned to find leftovers from the church to get by for the night after Rowling left, felt very embarrassed. He didn't know how Rowling knew that he was short of money.

"Mr. Fate, your monthly salary is not low. How come you spend it all so quickly?" Rowling sighed lightly, then thought of something, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and looked at Fate with a scrutinizing look.

"You, didn't spend money recklessly and go to some messy places?"

"A messy place?" Fate tilted his head, not understanding which messy place the other party was referring to.

"You... forget it. I can't control your private life. Mr. Fate, you are also a normal adult male. It is normal to have that kind of needs, but please consider whether you can afford it financially, okay?"

"........Oh." Fate nodded silently. Although he didn't understand what Miss Rowling was referring to specifically, he nodded anyway.

Don't try to debate with a woman.

"Let's go."

"........."

"Mr. Fate, what are you still standing there for? Don't you want to eat tonight?" Rowling, who was walking towards the church door with her bag, said angrily and amusedly when she saw that Fate did not follow her.

"?Have a meal?"

"If you don't leave now, you'll have to stand at the door of the church and starve to death tonight!" Seeing Fate's stupid look, Rowling snorted, and then walked out of the church without looking back.

If Fate still didn't understand that the other party wanted him to eat for free at this time, then he had a problem with his brain, so he quickly followed.

He doesn't like to owe others anything, but the exception is when it comes to meals.

Hunger was the only pain he could not endure.

Eating is the most important thing. Other things can be discussed. How can we not be active in eating? ?

Rowling's home is on the east side of the town, just opposite the church. It takes about half an hour to walk from the church to Rowling's home, which means that Rowling gets up at least an hour earlier every day and rushes to work after breakfast.

It is rare to be so diligent and passionate about work despite working so hard. If it were Fate, he would have started long ago.

"Mr. Fate, have you suddenly remembered something important that needs to be dealt with?" Seeing Fate shaking his head all the way, Rowling asked with amusement.

"No." Fate thought for a moment, as if he didn't know how to describe it. "I was thinking, would it be bad to go to your house empty-handed for the first time?"

"Ah?" Rowling glanced at Fate in amazement. "Mr. Fate, you actually thought of this? Not bad, your emotional intelligence has improved a lot since you first came here."

Could it be that after working in the church for a few months, I came into contact with more people and my interpersonal skills improved?

"Please put your mind at ease. I am the only one in my family. There is no one else. Besides, we are just colleagues, right?"

"Are you working alone?" Fate asked.

"Not really. My family lives in Batti City."

"........Then why?"

"Mr. Fate, I just praised you for your improved emotional intelligence." Rowling blinked and pretended to be angry.

Fate shut his mouth immediately.

My home is in Batti City, but I'm the only one at home. This already explains a lot of problems, but I still keep asking questions.

"Please sit anywhere." After Rowling brought Fate home, she seemed to be going out again.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"Mr. Fate's words are a bit funny. If we don't go out to buy groceries, will the two of us have nothing to eat tonight?" Rowling looked at Fate with a smile.

"........"

"The house is not tidied up and is a bit messy. You can just find a place to sit down." Rowling took off her black leather shoes as a nun, put her feet wrapped in white silk into a pair of cloth shoes, and put the cloak hanging on the door panel on herself.

If it wasn't necessary for work, she didn't seem to like this pair of small leather shoes for nuns, and it seemed that this pair of shoes was not very breathable.

There are many beliefs, big and small, within the empire. Some believe in the empire's ancestors, some believe in the empire's emperor, some believe in foreign gods, and there are even many wild gods.

But whether it is a native religion or a foreign religion, the attire of nuns in the empire is roughly the same.

The black and white nun's uniform is paired with white or black over-the-knee socks, so walking on the street in a nun's uniform is quite recognizable.

The nun went to the market to buy it, leaving Fate alone in her home. This clearly showed her trust in Fate's character.

Although the nun didn't say it, after spending a few months with him, she came to recognize Fate's character.

In her opinion, Fit is a bit rigid and inflexible. He never misses an opportunity to slack off at work and never works overtime after get off work. However, as long as it is his job, he is very reliable.

Especially after helping the stranger boy a few days ago, Rowling had a clearer understanding of Fate's general character.

Fate lifted a corner of the sofa and sat down, looking around Rowling's house. It was not big, even a bit compact. In addition to the living room, there was a kitchen and bathroom on the first floor. The second floor should be Rowling's room.

Chapter 58: 57~Wild Survival Fate Version

Ever since she first met Fate, Rowling has always seen Fate as a person with a very strange personality.

Although she looks good, have you ever seen anyone walking around with a chamber pot on his head all day long? ?

It's okay during working hours, but he still does it after get off work, even when he sleeps, eats, and has days off. Although Rowling is quite reassured about Fate's character, this does not conflict with his eccentric personality and unusual habits.

Well, I can understand why Rowling didn't take off her helmet during lunch. After all, she had to go to work in the afternoon and was in a hurry, so she was too lazy to take off her helmet.

She naively thought that at dinner time after get off work, Fate would have to take off the iron basin on his head, but who would have thought...

Seeing the armored man wolfing down his food sitting across from her at the small dining table, Rowling was extremely upset.

Who knew this guy wouldn't even take off his helmet to eat dinner? ?
