Chapter 104 Smell
"Huh... Fortunately, in my case, there is no need to send out a deacon to interrogate me. Otherwise, I would have been unable to conceal the truth."
In the small room, Vanya, who successfully passed the questioning, thought with relief in her heart that she had immediately and proactively notified the church after the incident, and had actively cooperated with the subsequent investigation. Her confession was reasonable and consistent with the situation at the scene. There was nothing suspicious. In fact, she had a clean background and usually behaved well, so the investigators sent by the church only questioned her instead of interrogating her.
If it is an interrogation, the church will send out deacons of the black rank or above. You cannot lie in front of high-level "Light" Extraordinaries, as they have the ability to see through lies.
Vanya told them in detail what happened in the tomb that night, including how they found the tomb, how they went down to explore, how they were attacked, and how they hid in the attic.
In the last part of the story, Vanya described how the last wounded heretic broke into the attic. In panic, she took up her sword and fought back. Since the heretic was wounded, she, who was inexperienced, also killed him.
As for the other heretic who was killed by a bullet, Vanya carried him to a chaotic battlefield among a pile of corpses and pretended that he had died in the melee. After all, it was barely understandable that she used her sword to kill a wounded heretic in a hurry. After all, the heretic who was stabbed to death by the sword did have other wounds on his body. It was too outrageous to use a sword to deflect a bullet.
"Okay, Sister Vanya, the investigation of heretics and the recovery of the relics of the Dekkert Church are being carried out simultaneously. To be on the safe side, the relics will first be transported to Igwinter, and then transferred to Divian by a strong military force. You can go back with us then. After all, heresy is rampant recently, and it is safer to go this way.
"Before that, you should relax in Igwinter for a few days and get plenty of rest."
After arranging the documents on the table, a priest said to Vanya with a smile. Vanya was slightly stunned after hearing his words, and then quickly stood up and thanked him.
"Thank you so much. After seeing the cruel methods of those heretics, I have been quite nervous these days. It's time to take a break. I can also visit Igwinter."
"Well, then don't worry, just go and look at Sister Vanya. We still have some sights in Igwinter. For example, the school that Saint Amanda once donated to build is here. Oh, by the way, the once-in-a-while charity meeting will be held soon. This is also a feature of our place." The priest introduced his hometown to the outsider Vanya, who spoke in confusion after hearing it.
"Charity?"
"This is a charity banquet held once in a while by Viscount Field of this place, dedicated to helping the poor and needy. At the banquet, His Excellency the Viscount will call on other upper-class people in this place to donate. There are also many other programs at the banquet, so it can be considered quite famous."
The priest's eyes rolled as he spoke, and he looked at Vanya again before speaking.
"In fact, in order to respond to the mercy of Our Lady, we will send representatives to participate every year. Sister Vanya, you are here now. Do you want to come and see?"
The priest said this, and he thought that he could take the opportunity to show off the charity of the nuns from the diocese of Vanya's capital. After Vanya returned home, she would also pass on positive comments such as "the religious level of the Igwinter people is high, and the rich and gentlemen are kind-hearted", so that the superiors would have a good impression of him. This is really an opportunity for publicity.
"Charity...?"
Listening to the priest's words, Vanya nodded thoughtfully.
…
Time flies, and two days passed quickly.
In the evening, at a busy crossroads in the upper city of Igwynt, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and under the glow of dusk, all kinds of horse-drawn carriages came and went and gathered here.
On one side of the intersection, there is a large sign with a bright light on, and under the sign is an open door with a guard handle. At this moment, Igwynte's famous Gem Theater is welcoming guests tonight.
Many carriages were parked on the wide sidewalk, and well-dressed gentlemen and beautiful ladies got out of these carriages. They talked and laughed with each other as they walked onto the red carpet laid in front of the theater and entered the magnificently decorated gate.
On the side of the sidewalk, a carriage slowly stopped, and then a young girl got off the carriage carefully.
At this moment, the girl had her hair neatly combed and was wearing a gray-black dress that was a bit like a formal dress. She wore a flowered hat, black knee-high socks and small leather shoes. There was a bow tied around her waist, and some places were decorated with lace.
This was Dorothy who came to the party. For this so-called upper-class party, she spent some money to buy a relatively decent dress, and she also put on some light makeup at a cosmetics store when she came.
After putting on her clothes and putting on her makeup, Dorothy dressed herself up carefully for the first time since she traveled through time. She then lost herself in front of a full-length mirror in the store for nearly half an hour. After being reminded by the boss, she hurried over, but fortunately she made it in time.
The clothes Dorothy was wearing now were more expensive than all the clothes she had bought since she was a child, but it was still far from a problem, so Dorothy didn't feel bad about spending it.
"Huh... there's still time, let's go in first..."
As she spoke, Dorothy directed the corpse-coachman to drive the carriage to the parking space, while she walked towards the theater entrance, attracting a lot of attention in the process. The men glanced at her inadvertently, while the ladies gathered together, opened their folding fans, covered their mouths, and discussed in a low voice which family the girl in front of them was.
"It seems a bit eye-catching. I should have known better than to dress like this."
As she thought about it, Dorothy quickened her pace, showed the invitation to the guard, and walked into the theater under unexpected looks. There were many people who walked in at the same time as her.
After entering the door, Dorothy followed the crowd into the long corridor and walked along the red carpet. Opposite them, a group of men in theater work uniforms walked towards them. Their characteristic was that they all wore half masks that only covered the upper half of their faces.
The half-masked staff seemed to be a feature of the Jewel Theater. No one was surprised by the men and women around. Dorothy just looked at them with a little curiosity and passed by them.
After that, one of the men wearing a half mask stopped and looked back at the crowd behind him. What he saw was a large number of people's backs gradually entering the venue and disappearing.
After a slight pause, the man continued to walk forward, walked out of the theater door, and then came to the side of the road, where a luxurious carriage was parked quietly.
Coming to the carriage, the man took off half of his mask, revealing Bill's face.
Then he said, looking at the carriage with a respectful expression.
