The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low-key manner

Chapter 13 Adolf Monastery!

Had lunch.

Zorn changed into ordinary clothes and went out alone.

He wore a gray wide-brimmed felt hat on his head, which could effectively block the sunlight. He was wearing a black linen jacket and light and wear-resistant gray canvas shoes on his feet.

It is said that this kind of brown hemp is produced in large quantities in the Ocean Islands farms in the Abner Sea.

The clothes made from it are strong and durable, and are loved by the residents of Ogland City.

If possible, Zorn also wants to go to the tropical ocean archipelago and live a comfortable life as an island owner or plantation owner.

The only thing to worry about is.

Steam pirate ships would plunder these wealthy island plantations.

In addition to beheading the plantation owners, they would also capture the plantation workers and sell them as slaves.

"To the Bay Area, 1464 Bellein Street."

Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, Zorn looked at the scene outside through the window, a little absent-minded.

Soon, there was a commotion outside.

The Bay Area is much more lively than the new city area.

"Didi~~"

Occasionally, Zorn could see some steam cars speeding through the streets.

Steam car.

It is a culmination of many disciplines including alchemy, steam science, mechanical design, magical and extraordinary materials, etc.

Another comparable product is the sky overlord "steam airship".

Compared with the large empires on the south side of the Holy Continent, which have vast territories and more advanced steam science, the Republic of Ostanton is much weaker.

Only by putting more coal into boilers and letting steam factories spit out more industrial products can we catch up with the rising steam wave.

Only then could they stop the attack of the "steam airship" of the [Saint Siman Empire] that made a great splash in the Battle of Conoden.

Only in this way could steam merchant ships break through the fog and occupy an advantageous position during the Age of Discovery.

However, now only the relatively wealthy nobles can afford this luxury car.

Aristocratic floors like Zorn, which hover between the middle class and the aristocracy, still cannot afford such luxury goods.

After paying 24 copper taels (copper taels) in paper currency, he got off the carriage.

Zorn waved to the newsboy not far away.

"Good afternoon, sir!"

A newsboy, about eight or nine years old, ran over and greeted Zorn politely.

After paying two copper coins, Zorn received a copy of today's Ogran Steam Daily.

Then he lowered the brim of his hat, held the newspaper between his legs, and walked towards the nearby "Dillion House" hotel.

The pretty front desk receptionist, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old and on duty, glanced at Zorn, then continued to look down at the book in her hand and take notes, appearing busy and fulfilled.

"What a hard-working and studious student."

Zorn sighed secretly.

Oglan City is an industrial city in the northern border of the Republic of Ostend.

It supports half of the Republic.

There is also a magical force here that drives and forces everyone to work, produce and learn efficiently.

Following the information explained by Wilbur, the Soul Feeder, yesterday.

Found room 406.

After opening the door with the key.

He began a series of searches.

[Soul Feeder] Wilbur has committed many crimes, many of which are major ones, and his rewards are also quite rich.

Of course, Zorn would not let go of these stolen money.

The floor, the walls, the secret compartments in the drawers, Zorn followed the nodes described by the Soul Feeder and explored them one by one.

After about half an hour of careful search.

Zorn counted them carefully, and found that the total amount of gold coins and banknotes was exactly 845 gold pounds.

There is no doubt that this is also a considerable fortune.

It was enough for Wilbur, the Soul Feeder, to live a wealthy and stable life for several years.

But as an extraordinary person, walking among the crowd is like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

Once greed breaks free, it will often drag evildoers into the abyss.

He messed with the wrong people.

Now, he no longer has to worry about not having enough money. May there be no poverty in hell!

The other [thief] was quite poor. All his assets were on him, totaling only thirty-two gold pounds.

After doing all this, Zorn did not clean up the scene, but instead made it even more messy.

Even if the hotel called the police, law enforcement officers would only close the case as a simple theft.

When he left, the young female receptionist was still studying hard.

This inevitably reminded Zorn of the story of when he was a [player] and sponsored a poor female college student in Oglan City.

As a [player], you can build it at will, and at worst you can just restart a new file.

Now he is not a [player], so he has to be cautious.

Stopped another carriage.

"To the Adolf Monastery."

After entering the carriage, Zorn lowered his voice.

But the carriage didn't start. "Dear guest, Adolf Monastery is located in a foggy area. The journey is long, and there is a high probability that there will be no return guests."

"Also... the church recently informed us that there are lost people there."

There was a hint of fear in the coachman's hoarse voice, and it seemed that he was not very willing to do this business with Zorn.

"I'll cover the round-trip fare, which is about 60 copper le, right?"

Just now, Zorn roughly calculated the current market price of carriages.

"But……"

The coachman hesitated.

"Two silver dragons, one in advance."

Zorn simply said.

The coachman paused, then took a shining silver dragon coin that Zorn handed over through the front window.

"Thank you for your generosity, sir!"

He praised sincerely.

Compared to those dangerous lost people, poverty is obviously more terrible!
One silver dragon is worth 50 copper le.

Two silver dragons are worth 100 copper taels.

Most of the time, he doesn't earn that much in a day.

……

Adolf Monastery.

It was founded by a kind nun named Belinda Adolf who came from the mountains.

Among them, many children who are homeless, abandoned by their parents, or suffering from disasters and illnesses are adopted.

While taking into account the social responsibility of the children's orphanage.

Of course, this is its social side.

But the truth is, they are from the secret base of the "Mountain Witch".

Originally, the "Mountain Witch" appeared after the Kruger Plateau Empire was destroyed in a terrible disaster.

They wander on snow-capped mountains and tundra, and serve as "witch priests" in many ancient tribes and nomadic peoples.

They have always been very mysterious.

Bards spread the image of the highland witch as mysterious, strange, powerful, and possessing incredible mysterious witchcraft powers.

And now, a group of witches came down from the mountains.

The witches, led by Belinda Adolf, have taken root in the steam city-state where the steam wave is surging.

They used their own strength to build monasteries and help children and the elderly in need.

It is also helpful to the Holy See and several powerful nobles in the republic today.

This is why they were in the war between the Holy See and Tantric Buddhism.

They were not eliminated by the Church as pagans and heretics.

They are allowed to operate within the Republic of Ostanton.

Of course, it was limited to some work in the monastery and some simple preaching.

At the same time, the witches also made some concessions, some... concessions in faith.

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The bells of the Holy Sun Cathedral rang in the distance.

In the Adolf Monastery, the ceremony of breastfeeding begins!
A large number of children who are identified as "orphans" gathered in the monastery church. They clasped their hands in front of their chests and bowed their heads to pray devoutly.

And to the south of the church are the great "Holy Sun" and "Amara, Holy Mother".

In addition to their original mother goddess, they also need to believe in the Holy Sun.

Believe in two gods.

This is also the reason why the mountain witches who have their own beliefs are able to spread their beliefs in the monastery.

This was absolutely not allowed before.

But when survival became difficult, the mountain witches had to make compromises.

The backmost position in the crowd.

Here, Zorn completed the ritual prayer for about half an hour.

As the prayers ended, the children happily received their afternoon snacks.

Zorn came to the donation box, donated some banknotes into the box, and then saluted the elderly nun beside him.

"Respected Mother, I would like to make a donation to the Adolf Monastery."

Dressed in black religious robes, the old nun raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression sincere and kind.

"Bishop Theresa told me that an important gentleman will visit us today during the funeral."

"Dear sir, please follow me!"

Zorn raised his brow slightly.

Bishop Theresa is the "Witch Granny", a powerful and mysterious witch.

For this powerful witch, her visit was predicted.

Zorn wasn't surprised.

The "spiritual perception" of the strong can detect many things.

What makes Zorn happy is.

Since the other party is prepared and willing to receive him, it means that there is a high probability that Zorn's plan will succeed today.
