Chapter 731 The Priest’s Dilemma!
"It's a long story. Today I accompanied Viscount Dormond to participate in a hunt outside the city."
"I don't know why those nobles like this sport so much. To me, it's the most boring sport."
Miss Fors recalled the scene at that time in her mind.
At that time, a group of noble young men were only concerned with charging forward, while the servants and subordinates were desperately trying to drive more prey to them.
Then the so-called nobles would use their weapons to kill the prey, and cheers would be heard from the scene from time to time.
Miss Forth saw no interest in this crude sport.
"This kind of exercise can stimulate the blood flow to the heart muscle of a man, but it is not a good activity for a woman."
Chu Yang smiled and shook his head.
However, he quickly shifted the focus of the topic to Viscount Dormond.
After all, this was the first noble they had agreed to contact before leaving Backlund.
"Yes, our plan went very smoothly, and I also naturally hooked up with the child of an even more powerful noble named Audrey."
Miss Fors did not hide anything from Chu Yang.
With Miss Xiu as the middleman, he had enough trust in Chu Yang.
"You probably didn't ask Miss Audrey to investigate the downfall of Miss Xiu's family, did you?"
Chu Yang couldn't help but frown and asked.
After all, the people involved behind that incident are too terrifying and they are definitely not people they can afford to provoke now.
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool. I'll use the case involving Xio to test her."
Miss Fors couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She wanted to use this breakthrough to find out who was secretly dealing with Miss Xiu.
In fact, even Chu Yang didn't understand any of this.
After all, it was the gang leader who ultimately framed Miss Xiu in the plot.
The subsequent members of the Grand Council were not involved at all.
"Today at the hunting site, I tried to understand the final outcome of this matter. Viscount Dormond said that a middle-ranking official in the Military Affairs Office suddenly issued this order."
"But no one told me any information about that guy. It seems that it will take some time to wait."
"Viscount Dormond has also made it clear that the wanted warrant on Xio will be withdrawn immediately."
Fors exhaled slightly, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
After all, this is one of the best news in a while.
"A lieutenant in the Military Affairs Department?"
Chu Yang was thinking about something.
He began to search frantically in the assistance plot through this position, but did not find any relevant information.
"Looks like I have to use my detective work to get information about that guy."
Finally, after thinking it all through, Chu Yang took the opportunity to ask Fors to have a dance.
But Fors rejected it without hesitation.
"I've been attending too many social events recently, and now I just want to have a good sleep."
"Also, I haven't read for a long time, and I still have no idea about my new work. I don't want to go out for the time being."
Miss Fors said firmly that she just wanted to have a perfect weekend, preferably without anyone to bother her and sleep soundly.
Chu Yang had already anticipated the relevant results, so he was not disappointed at all.
He paid the bill very naturally and left the cafe quickly.
He left his contact information through the previous Claure reporter and sent out an invitation letter.
After finishing these things, Chu Yang quickened his pace and stopped a carriage to go to his destination.
As a result, not long after he left, his spirituality was suddenly touched.
His eyes now shot to the right not far away, and he immediately spotted a slightly blurry figure hiding in the shadow of the corner.
If it weren't for the red moon in the sky that was slowly dimming its brilliance, he wouldn't have been able to detect that guy's shadow at all.
The guy just stood there in the shadows, with a very ferocious look on his face, looking like a monster that was about to lose control.
Chu Yang was just about to observe the situation of the guy in front of him through his pure white eyes.
However, at this moment a slightly heavy voice sounded.
"Young man, don't come any closer. You need to leave quickly. It would be best if you could notify the police."
"Otherwise I really won't be able to control myself and attack you."
The one who spoke was the guy hiding in the shadows.
Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Because in this short period of time, he has truly figured out the situation of the guy in front of him who is about to lose control through his pure white eyes.
Any extraordinary person may suddenly lose control at some stage and become a real monster.
The reason why this person is about to lose control is because he has developed a special kind of magic.
This kind of magic can penetrate deep into the victim's soul and find the dark side hidden deep in his heart.
This dark side can have a crazy impact on the victim's mind, causing him or her to completely lose control in a short period of time.
From the attire of the man in front of him, Chu Yang could tell that this guy was a church priest.
The priest's mind is usually very calm, but he is forced into a situation where he is about to lose control. This is enough to show how terrible the magic curse this guy has suffered is.
"This person was able to think about the safety of a stranger like me even when he was about to lose control. Maybe I can try to save him."
This is not because Chu Yang is meddling in other people's business, but because there are very few people in this world who can achieve this level.
And to some extent, no one could tell whether it was fate that he encountered this situation so late at night.
"Hello sir, I can summon a special church purifying light that contains the power of the sun. I wonder if it can help you."
The priest's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a little excitement: "Thank you for extending a helping hand. Maybe this can really save me."
Soon the dazzling light came to mind.
This was exactly the move that Mr. Abdu had used on that nameless island before.
After seeing this move being released many times, he was already able to analyze and release it through his pure white eyes.
Although its power cannot be compared with the original version, it can definitely reach at least 70% of the original version.
After the bright light descended, it immediately covered the priest's body.
Then a shrill scream resounded throughout the venue.
Chu Yang clearly saw a shadow slowly rising out of the priest's body.
The shadow even tried to resist the sacred light of the sun, but was ultimately defeated and completely melted away like ice and snow.
The golden light did not disappear and continued to help the priest evolve his body.
In the end, all the shadows on the surface and even inside the priest's body disappeared, and the strange aura completely dissipated.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yang nodded with satisfaction.
He always felt that the strongest feature of the Guardians was the ability to imitate the extraordinary abilities of others.
"With this trick, I can carry out many more plans."
"I can definitely use a little knowledge about assistance to unleash even more magical and extraordinary moves."
"If I could even come into contact with some of the strongest fighters, perhaps this move of mine could produce even more amazing results."
Chu Yang couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
When he looked up again, he found that the priest who had a ferocious expression in the shadow had regained his kind face.
The priest was praying silently at the moment, looking very pious, and even with a hint of repentance on his face.
After all, for a priest, almost turning into a monster is simply the most severe punishment.
After nearly half an hour, the priest finally opened his eyes very naturally.
"Young man, you saved me!"
The priest's eyes were filled with gratitude.
"You're welcome. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Chu Yang asked very politely.
If the meeting between the two tonight was entirely the result of fate, then something should happen afterwards.
But now he just wanted to get back to the house as soon as possible.
After all, Backlund was not so peaceful late at night.
"You can call me Ivankov. As you can see, I am a priest. Once again, I express my sincere gratitude to you."
Ivankov's voice was full of emotion, and he took the initiative to step out of the shadows.
This guy has a very strong build and looks like a real barbaric warrior.
Even the loose clothes he was wearing became very tight at this moment.
If he wasn't really a priest, Chu Yang would even think that this guy was a real barbarian.
"With a body like that, he chose to become a priest. This is outrageous!"
This thought flashed through Chu Yang's mind, but he asked with some concern:
"Mr. Ivankov, how could you be cursed? Could it be that the evil spirit has become so arrogant?"
Ivankov let out a sigh and said, "This is a long story."
"I was ambushed by the people in the dark, and they entangled a lot of people."
"Anyway, thank you very much, young man. It's late at night. For safety reasons, why don't you come back to the church with me?"
"Of course, you can also come to Shengfang Church to find me during the day tomorrow."
Ivankov originally wanted to invite Chu Yang to go with him, but he felt that this was a bit abrupt, so he quickly changed his mind.
"I will visit you tomorrow."
Chu Yang immediately rode down the hill.
He suddenly remembered that the name Ivankov appeared many times in the original plot.
Ivankov should be the slightly schizophrenic priest in the original story.
Originally, Klein would follow the guidance of fate and help the priest cure his schizophrenia.
But this will require a series of crises.
Now he didn't want to take the initiative to get involved in these dangerous situations, so he could only choose to reject the priest's invitation.
Of course, even on the next day, he would not easily step into the Shengfang Church.
"But this priest Ivankov must be very powerful. How could he be so easily plotted against?"
"Moreover, in the original story, Mr. Ivankov was very clear about what he wanted to say to Klein, but why is he so vague when it comes to me?"
"What do you mean by conspiracy? He obviously knows more, but he is not willing to tell me."
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
"But this strange curse magic was most likely released by the Witch Cult."
"Could it be that Ilfa and the others were behind this?"
Chu Yang's thoughts began to race again.
If that was the case, maybe he really should go to Shengfang Church.
But we will have to wait until tomorrow to come to a final conclusion.
Finally, after walking across another street, he successfully hailed a carriage and soon returned to his studio in Manhattan.
Over this time, he has become accustomed to living inside his studio in Manhattan.
This not only allows you to borrow books from Manhattan's collection, but also allows you to learn more about the characteristics of the sealed objects in Manhattan's collection.
As time goes by, the teacher-student relationship between Manhattan and Chu Yang is rapidly heating up, and there is basically no excessive interest involved between the two.
Early the next morning, after careful consideration, Chu Yang decided to go to Shengfang Church after breakfast.
When he sees Ivankov again, the priest will definitely give him enough compensation or thank-you gift.
"I hope Mr. Ivankov won't be too stingy."
Chu Yang immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Manhattan suddenly came to Chu Yang with a newspaper and slapped it on the table.
"Did you do so many things when you went out? You didn't leak a single word about such a big thing?"
Manhattan said somewhat speechlessly.
What was reported in the newspaper was the murder on the ship that reporter Claure and Chu Yang had experienced together.
Because this matter involved the secret plotting of a high-level strongman, so he didn't dare to mention it to others casually.
But it was not easy to explain too much now, so he had to recount the whole story of the case, but he emphasized that the boy was choked to death by nuts.
"It all sounds so coincidental."
Manhattan immediately noticed something unusual, but he did not ask any further questions.
He could see that Chu Yang didn't seem to want to talk about this matter too much, so he immediately changed the subject.
"It seems that this journalist friend of yours named Claire is a very good person. He actually published the role you played in this case truthfully."
"This way, as the newspaper is published, your reputation in Backlund will be greatly improved."
Manhattan appreciated this very much.
After all, Chu Yang has decided to pursue a career as a detective, so reputation is extremely important.
Not to mention that the newspapers published by Claure's newspaper company had very good sales throughout the Kingdom of Loen.
It is no exaggeration to say that after this incident, Chu Yang's reputation will gradually spread within the Kingdom of Loen.
Chu Yang got what many politicians dreamed of without any effort.
"Teacher, I have invited that Claude reporter to the dance. You will meet him then."
Chu Yang picked up another piece of bread, put it in his mouth and answered casually.
