Leaving the old tavern, Lumian began to hide again.

He approached the road he often walked home in this state.

As expected, he noticed that one of Ponce Burney's henchmen was huddled behind the green trees on the roadside, observing the passing pedestrians.

The priest in this church really doesn't stop until he achieves his goal... Lumian couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.

And most importantly, I haven't been able to make an effective counterattack yet.

This is due to his limited personal abilities, and secondly, if the priest of this church really has any accidents, it will inevitably disturb the "Eternal Sun" church in the Dari è ge area. At that time, there will definitely be people from the religious court coming to investigate, which is a very dangerous thing for Aurora.

Unless forced to give up on this place and move to another place, Lumian can also manipulate the privacy of the priest in this church, and see if he can be transferred to a monastery for "retirement" through the exposure of the scandal.

Moreover, exposing scandals also requires skills, just like how we had outsiders expose the affair between our priest and Madame Pualis before.

The reason why Lumian did not widely publicize this matter was because he did not want to put himself in a prominent position. According to his observation, the administrative officer and territorial judge Beost was a very face saving person. If he exposed the matter of Madame Pualis, the reward he would receive would definitely not be Beost's gratitude, but rather hatred and hostility.

In that case, facing the double blow of the priest and the administrator in this church, Lumian would definitely have to flee from the village of Corrdu.

He cautiously detoured to another road sandwiched between several buildings.

Along the way, Lumian kept hiding his figure with the help of walls, doors, trees, etc. As he was approaching the "exit," he suddenly heard a voice speaking.

Guillaume, why don't you just go to Aurora's house at night to catch that kid? Looking for him everywhere and ambushing him all day now won't have any effect. It's just a waste of our time. He's as cunning as a wild wolf in the mountains, "Ponce Benet's familiar rough voice reached Lumian's ears." I know Aurora is good at fighting, but we have so many people that we can still go to the city to find help

Guillaume... the priest of this church is also here... Lumian stopped and retreated to the corner of the wall, intending to hear how the priest of this church would answer and what arrangements he would make for his own affairs.

Guillaume Benet's voice carries a hint of magnetism:

You don't think Aurora only has this ability to show, do you?

She may possess extraordinary powers that I do not possess

Ah... "Ponce Benet was visibly surprised." She's a witch? Guillaume, why don't you go to Dari è ge and find the judges? If you can catch a real witch, the church will definitely reward you. At that time, you may very well gain the extraordinary power you've been longing for for

Stupid, "Guillaume Benet cursed his younger brother directly," you don't know what's going on in the village now? The people in the court have noses like dogs and won't let any exceptions go. When the time comes, the trouble will be big.

Even if Aurora really wants to deal with us, I have other options. Until the end, don't disturb the people in the court

So, what is the situation in the village now? Lumian attaches great importance to and is curious about this.

Based on some abnormal phenomena he had noticed before, he suspected that something bad was brewing and developing in the village, like a turbulent undercurrent under a calm sea.

To his disappointment, Ponce Benet did not delve into this topic and focused more on another point:

Do you have any way to deal with a witch

You don't need to know, "said Father Guillaume Benet in a deep voice

Guillaume, do you mean those outsiders are here to investigate that matter? "Ponce Benet was clearly afraid and worried.

Look at you, you only have muscles, not a brain, not as calm and composed as your brother, born to be a leader... Lumian mocked Ponce Benet in his heart.

Although he disliked the priest in this church very much, thinking that this guy was nothing but a stallion, vulgar and greedy, completely unlike a clergyman, in rural areas, his rough, savage, strong, and direct style of action was even more convincing. Coupled with his status, power, wealth, clear mind, sufficient wisdom, and good eloquence, even Lumian had to admit that this guy did have some charm and easily made people around him admire and rely on him.

Guillaume Benet sneered:

Don't worry, as long as those outsiders can't get real evidence, I will still be the parish priest of Kordu Village.

Ponce, you must remember that ruling a place cannot rely solely on intimidation, terror, and suppression, as it will never achieve peace and the desired effect. Does the church want to gain a ruin, a place where taxes cannot be paid? Since it is impossible to kill all the adults here, we need some friends and followers, and we can provide them with certain protection.

The church allows us to lead the affairs here instead of sending outsiders, because we are locals with relatives, friends, and followers who can help us better control this place and avoid making a mess. Therefore, as long as there is not enough evidence, the higher ups will definitely choose to continue to believe in me.

Okay, I'm going back to church

It sounds very reasonable and can also bewitch people, but Father, your knowledge and vision are still limited to the Daries region... I heard from Aurora that in other places, facing villages severely polluted by evil gods, the church chooses to completely destroy and turn the corresponding places into ruins. At that time, not only adults but also children will be killed... Lumi è re was almost "persuaded" by Guillaume Benet just now, fortunately, Aurora often tells him about the terror of the "Eternal Sun" church and the "God of Steam and Machinery" church.

After the priest of this church left, Lumian changed his way and smoothly returned home.

Beside the oven, Aurora, wearing a white apron, is busy.

What are you doing? "Asked Lumian curiously.

There are still over two hours left until lunch.

Aurora lifted the golden hair that had fallen behind her ears and smiled, saying:

Try making a new flavor of toast, rice toast

You don't have to go through so much trouble... "Lumi è re was somewhat moved when he settled in.

He thought Aurora was trying to make himself eat better.

Aurora chuckled and said

Where did you want to go? Don't be so narcissistic, okay?

For me, cooking and making bread is a form of entertainment and an effective way to pass the time, understand

Then why don't you like to go out? There's more entertainment outside. "Lumian always thought that Orore was too concerned about the dangers of being a wizard, which was why he often locked himself up at home.
