Ark pigeon mode, activated!

"According to our investigation, you were the last person Knight Gayero saw before he was killed yesterday. What are your thoughts on this?"

"I suspect someone is pretending to be me and deliberately framing me. The conflict between the Kosh and Stuart families has long been known to everyone, so it's not surprising that someone would try to use this to influence the direction of the investigation."

Camilla replied calmly.

No matter how we asked, he just refused to admit it.

The sheriff continued to question for a while before taking his men away with a slight headache.

They highly suspected that the murderer was Camilla, and all the clues found in the investigation pointed to him!

But there is one question that cannot be avoided and cannot be explained - how can an apprentice knight kill a formal knight?

The gap in strength between an apprentice knight and a formal knight is simply too great.

Judging from the extent of the damage to the manor, the two sides were almost evenly matched in strength. After a fierce fight, Gayero was killed.

Even if an apprentice knight swore an oath and mastered unparalleled martial arts, he would still be crushed.

They themselves didn't believe the investigation result that Camilla killed Gayero, and if they handed it over, it would probably be useless except for a scolding.

And...even if there really is a miracle, even if there is a slight possibility that it was really Camilla who killed Gayero, what punishment will he receive?

A penalty drink?

Perhaps it would be better for this case to remain an unsolved case.

After the sheriffs left, Camilla stayed for a moment before leaving.

A small accident will not affect his schedule today.

After going out, Camilla took a carriage to a church of the Trinity Church.

The church of the Three Gods Church did not refuse outsiders to visit or pray. He guessed during his in-depth investigation that he had fought his way in and unscrupulously demolished and searched the house, which led to a counterattack.

He just needs to go there normally and communicate normally with the monks of the Three Gods Church.

The Church of the Three Gods would not suddenly call upon the will of the Mother of Heaven.

After some time, the church consisting of several towers came into view.

Camilla got off the carriage and walked into the church through the main entrance of a tower.

There are murals painted on the empty walls in the corridors and beside the doors and windows, which seem to tell stories about gods.

Some believers and monks passed by and greeted Camilla in a friendly manner when they saw him, even though they did not know him at all.

Camilla nodded casually in response and slowly walked into the chapel hall.

There are many people praying here.

In this ever-turbulent era, people always hope to have something to rely on, and gods are a good choice.

Camilla's eyes swept across and immediately fell on a middle-aged monk with gray hair on the side of the podium.

The middle-aged monk was wearing a white robe embroidered with the church emblem. He seemed to be of a very high status and was praying devoutly facing the huge divine emblem on the wall behind the pulpit.

Camilla walked over and greeted politely.

The middle-aged monk was startled, turned around and looked at him, and responded politely.

"Father, I have been feeling anxious lately and haven't found relief. I have no choice but to come here. I wonder if you can offer some relief for me."

Camilla asked politely.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged monk smiled slightly and nodded in reply.

"Of course, the merciful gods will accept all lost souls. Please come here and tell your story."

He led Camilla to a confessional on the side of the chapel, where monks from the Triune Church would enlighten believers and help them get rid of their troubles.

Camilla followed.

After closing the door of the confessional, the two sat down opposite each other at a wooden table in the room.

The middle-aged monk said in a gentle manner.

"My name is Verosta Campbell, a monk of the Triune Church. You can call me Brother Verosta. Please slowly pour out your worries. I will listen carefully. At the same time, I guarantee on the reputation of the Triune Church that I will not reveal any of your secrets."

He knew from the way Camilla was dressed that she must be from a knight family.

The Church of the Three Gods never minds building good relations with the Knight families, and a considerable number of people in the church come from Knight families.

Camilla sighed and whispered with a hint of sadness.

"Some time ago, I met an exceptionally beautiful woman. After a quick glance, I couldn't get her out of my mind. I lost my appetite. After much inquiry, I learned that she was from the Church of the Three Gods. I came here hoping to see her again. I wonder if Brother Verosta could take me to see her and put my obsession to rest? In return, I will donate a small amount to the church."

Verosta was a little speechless, but still asked.

"...Who is that nun?"

"I don't know. I only know that she seems to have a very special status in the Church of the Three Gods."

……

Chapter 44: Blade Master's Skill in Mastering Money~

Camilla didn't know whether the container was beautiful or not, but she guessed it was not too bad.

Of course, if the Mother of Heaven really chose an ugly person as a container, he would have nothing to say, and he didn't care about it.

After a brief thought, Verosta said hesitantly.

"I'm willing to help you, but... after all, this involves someone else, and I need to respect her opinion."

Without saying a word, Camilla took out her wallet from the inside pocket of her shirt, pulled out a few banknotes of the largest denomination and handed them to him.

淬斯的货币称为基尔，纸币面额分10、20、50、100、200。

Gil means gold. Paper money can be directly exchanged for gold at banks opened by the Ministry of Social Affairs. The exchange rate is 10 Gil per gram, and the monetary system is very stable.

In daily life, coins with smaller denominations are generally used.

This stack of banknotes that Camilla has is enough to buy half a nice house in a more prosperous area of ​​​​Xalta City.

"This private donation is used to support the church's operations. It's a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you won't refuse it."

he said calmly.

"..."

Verosta was silent for a moment, silently put the money into his pocket, then cleared his throat and spoke seriously.

"Thank you very much. I will accept it on behalf of the church. As for the nun you mentioned, who might be quite special, there are several candidates in Sharta City. I wonder which one is the one you are looking for."

"Please tell me, I should be able to tell when I hear the relevant information."

Camilla nodded in response.

"Okay, first up is Sister Carolina. She's a rare genius who possesses the talent to enter the Knights' Academy, but chose to join the Church. It's said she possesses some mysterious bloodline. She's been training diligently under the Church's dedicated guidance. She may soon travel to the capital to receive instruction from the Grand Master."

The Grand Monk is the spiritual monk of the Church of the Three Gods who corresponds to the rank of Grand Knight, but the only difference is the level of life. As for the strength... it's hard to say.

Camilla shook her head. It was obvious that this was not the case.

How dare the container go to the capital?

Verosta was not surprised and continued.

"Then there's Sister Magdalena. She possesses a soothing power. Just looking into her clear eyes brings peace to people's hearts. She is highly respected among believers. That power... doesn't seem to be spiritual power."

Verosta had never had any contact with this nun, so he was not very clear about it.

Camilla pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Does she go out often?"

"Yes. In order to make good use of this power, she often comforts monks and believers and listens to their troubles, just like me."

Verosta replied.

But at the end, his tone sounded a little guilty.

"That shouldn't be it. Please continue."

Camilla shook her head.

Verosta didn't mind and continued to speak slowly.

However, the next several candidates were none of them, and Camilla could more or less analyze the points that did not quite fit the characteristics of the container.

After the candidate was mentioned, there was still no one. Verosta couldn't help but frown slightly and recall it carefully.

He was talking about those who were relatively active in recent years. If not, then we would have to trace back further. And those who were still in Sharta City were...

"That's right! Liz Belgrade! The bishop's adopted daughter!"

Verosta suddenly remembered that about eight years ago, the bishop brought back a little girl from somewhere, raised her in the church, and she lived in the church in the south of the city and never went out.

The bishop had sworn a vow never to marry or have sex with women, so the child was definitely not his, and he had never revealed the child's origins.

However, Verosta later heard some rumors, some creepy rumors.

Some young monks wanted to pursue Liz, and then suddenly disappeared. No matter how hard they looked, there was no trace of her. Someone noticed that Liz never spoke during that time and was always chewing something, which was very strange.

The bishop forcefully prevented the investigation from going any further, leaving only some bizarre rumors.

Verosta has always avoided such things and never took the initiative to get involved, so he didn't think about it for a while.

After listening to his detailed explanation, Camilla had a clear idea in her mind.

This is it!

The container brought back by the bishop himself!

"That's her, please take me to see her!"

Camilla said solemnly.

"This……"

Verosta hesitated. He didn't want to take any risks easily.

Camilla took out a few banknotes and placed them in front of him.

"Although I could go on my own, I would prefer someone from the church to introduce me so I don't appear reckless. Also, I want this matter to be kept private; after all, it's just a personal emotional matter."

Verosta was silent for a few seconds, gritted his teeth, and put the money away.

His child attends a general education college. According to teachers, he is very talented in mechanics. With appropriate investment, the child can be exposed to more knowledge in this area and is expected to enter a foundry in the future.

But he didn't earn much in the Three Gods Church, and he didn't dare to do anything to make money, otherwise if he was discovered by the police, their entire church might be destroyed.

He had to consider whether this was his only chance to get enough money in a short period of time!

"Okay! Please follow me! If anything goes wrong, please don't blame me!"

Verosta stood up, avoiding everyone's sight, and quietly left with Camilla through the side door of a church tower.

He had been here for many years and knew every detail of the church, so it was not difficult for him to do this.

Afterwards, the two rented a carriage and headed to another church in the south of the city.

The two of them were not doing anything petty theft, so there was no need for them to disguise themselves. It was enough for them to avoid the people from the Church of the Three Gods.

The church in the south of the city is completely different in style from the one here. Five buildings similar to Gothic palaces are connected by cross corridors, forming a magnificent and solemn cathedral with a large number of reliefs clinging to the outer layer of the building.

Walking into the main chapel through the Gate of Grace, you can see a huge altar used for religious activities. It is gorgeously decorated with gold and silver, and the altar reliefs depict some strange scenes.

In the choir stalls on the left, monks in white robes are rehearsing in preparation for the next ceremony.

Camilla followed Verosta around the periphery, took a few looks, and then turned into another hall that was less visited by people.

While Verostar was wondering roughly where Liz lived, Camilla suddenly asked.

"Brother Verosta, which god do you worship?"

"She is the great Heavenly Mother, the embodiment of nature, the origin of life, the morning light that illuminates all things..."

When the gods were mentioned, Verosta's expression became pious.

He truly believes in Heavenly Mother.

"So...what about Sister Liz?"

Camilla asked.
