I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 199 They Need a Lesson

As the coronation ceremony draws closer, York becomes busier as an investigator.

After interrogating the Patriarch of the Sleeping People, he thought he would have some free time, after all, the investigation he was responsible for had been completed.

This is all thanks to Wyatt, but my current busyness is also thanks to Wyatt.

In general, as the person in charge of the church's foreign affairs, Kane directly handed over the right to transfer York and others to Wyatt.

Who would have thought that this director, who usually does not do his job, would actually have a workaholic side.

After a few days of silence, he sent new orders without any warning.

Probably, he discovered several suspicious places worthy of attention, so he asked York and others to go and investigate.

York had no reason to refuse the order given by his superior, not to mention that Wyatt had helped him gain a great merit not long ago.

If the foreign service can accumulate considerable merits this time, York doesn't mind working overtime under Wyatt.

Following Wyatt's instructions, York disguised himself as an ordinary believer of the Church, holding flowers in his hands, and came to the feet of the goddess statue.

In recent days, as the coronation ceremony draws closer, a considerable number of believers from the Church come to the statue of the goddess to offer flowers and pray every day.

As the number of believers increased, the church also sent out paladins to maintain order.

To be honest, there are paladins here, and it is also the iconic building of Shenhui City, a symbol of "holy" faith in the minds of believers. York really can't understand what is there to investigate in such a place.

If pagans come here to cause trouble, it would be like walking into a trap. Even pagans whose brains have been damaged by pollution would not do this.

But since it was Wyatt's order, there was no choice but to execute it.

York obediently lined up at the entrance. The boring wait did not kill his attention. He was always observing the situation around him inconspicuously.

I have to admit, there is really nothing wrong with this place. Everyone is very pious. Coming here is like going to church. All you see are devout believers.

York couldn't help but begin to wonder what Wyatt was up to.

In the previous call, his last order was to resume communication after entering the foot of the goddess statue.

Is this to avoid something, or is it simply that no useful information can be obtained during the queue.

In any case, York was already at the front of the line, so there was no point in dwelling on it.

York presented his certificate to the paladin in charge of security and handed over the bouquet of flowers for them to check.

There was nothing strange about the bouquet, and the people in charge of security check were the Fourth Paladin Regiment. Wyatt had already greeted them.

All in all, York entered the foot of the goddess statue very smoothly.

At the foot of the statue of the goddess is a square called "Where the Light Falls". The Christians are accustomed to calling it the Light Falls Square.

This place is open to the public on weekdays, but the statue of the goddess is strictly guarded and ordinary people cannot cross the guardrails and climb the statue.

Recently, even entry needs to be reviewed, which is enough to show how many believers are willing to pray for the new Pope.

Judging from the surface alone, the sense of belonging of the believers of the Church is really strong.

After sighing, York activated the communication, and Wyatt's voice came into his ears.

"Did you go in?"

"Yes, I'm already in, please give me further instructions."

"Give me flowers, then leave. Don't expose yourself, and remember to pay attention to any suspicious signs."

"clear."

The communication was interrupted again, and this time no instructions were left. It seemed that Wyatt was also very busy. York felt that he was just sent out to run errands, and his interest was not so high for the time being.

He followed the group and began to head towards the statue of the goddess, keeping an eye out for any suspicious things around him along the way.

Arriving at the foot of the statue, York began to queue up to lay flowers.

As it was time for him to lay flowers, York began to pay attention to how the believers in front of him were praying.

Especially the old man in front of him. Judging from his clothes, he should be a saint serving in the Holy Church. He is still serving at such an old age. I'm afraid he has served the church longer than York's age.

York intended to focus on learning from him, after all, he was most likely a devout saint who dedicated his life to the church.

In fact, York's guess was fulfilled. The church deacon who was in charge of presenting flowers recognized the old man. Even though the other party's rank was lower than his, the deacon still respected the old man very much.

York believed his guess was correct, so he began to pay special attention to the old man's prayers.

He was very pious, and his prayers were much more noble than those of the previous believers. Perhaps they were excerpted from several selected church books.

Considering the other party's qualifications, it might be a prayer that a bishop had once used.

York was learning with great interest, but when the old man finished his prayer, something happened that left him dumbfounded.

The old man suddenly jumped up, rushed to the fence and tried to read it.

The paladins immediately stepped forward to stop him, and the old man's behavior also surprised the deacon who had just respected him.

"Praise the goddess, please bless me! Praise the goddess, please..."

The old man pursed his lips comically, as if he wanted to kiss the toes of the goddess.

This funny scene made everyone present not know what expression to show.

Those believers present who had received education had all studied church history, and they all clearly remembered this interesting story in their history textbooks.

Originally, there was no fence around the statue of the goddess, but as more and more people kissed the goddess' toes, the color of the goddess' toes changed seriously, and there were even frequent influenza outbreaks in the city.

From then on, outsiders were prohibited from approaching the statue.

I never thought that I could still see this hilarious scene now.

York still doubted whether he was wise enough to learn from this old man.

After the old man was taken away and the deacon calmed down, he looked at the stunned believers and quickly invited York to come forward to present flowers in an attempt to restore order back on track.

York walked forward in a daze to present flowers. After watching such a farce, he felt a little tired.

It was only after York laid the flowers and was about to leave that he realized what had just happened was suspicious enough.

He quickly reported it to Wyatt, but the response he received was exceptionally bland.

"do not mind."

"Is this normal in the Theocracy?"

"Just like the pagans whose brains are damaged by pollution, there are also idiots in the Theocracy who believe in religion and become stupid."

"Is that so?"

"There's no need to continue investigating the statue. Let's go check somewhere else and get our people away."
