Chapter 59: Meet Chloe Again

Nora stood on the deck and looked out at the blue sea.

Vast, beautiful, and full of life, yet filled with pollution.

Extraordinary people generally don't want to come into contact with sea water, or even get too close to the sea. No one wants to endure the oppressive feeling of being surrounded by pollution.

Unfortunately, this is the only way out for the Temple of Silence.

She had just received information that the negotiations with the local lords in the north had also failed. These people who had lived in the snowy land all their lives might have no choice but to come to the sea, a place that no one wanted to approach.

Shaking her head to get rid of those worries, Nora asked behind her:

"Jeremiah, how far is this place from Castel?"

"You will be praised as one in the blazing fire, not even for one day."

"One day, it takes two days to go back and forth." Nora murmured to herself, "I'd better write a letter. Do you have a carrier pigeon?"

"He is kind, but he is going to Gem Bay."

"It's okay, bring it here." Nora put down the flail in her hand, drove away Jeremiah who kept chanting the Holy Scriptures in the Silent Temple, walked to the table and began to write a letter.

She originally wanted to go directly to the North, but was stopped by a pirate ship on the way.

Nora admitted that she was a little anxious and her communication with the pirates was not very friendly. In short, she later learned that these pirates did not intend to rob, but were just checking to prevent Hughes from escaping.

So she guiltily provided some bandages, which were still wrapped around Jeremiah's head.

With the change of a larger ship, the journey to the North would probably be much smoother, which made her very satisfied.

She wrote the letter this time because she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to remind Hugh Croy of his identity.

Chloe was not a member of the Candlelight Society, Nora was sure of that.

Nora hadn't had much contact with Chloe and wasn't quite sure of her true identity, but she discovered some flaws by chance.

Seeing how hard she tries to hide, she must be a spy from another church. In that case, she won't cause any trouble for the time being. Nora is in a hurry to return to the North and doesn't want to waste time going back again.

Well, Zeus has so many banshees around him, so it won’t be a problem even if he confronts them head-on.

Let’s send the refugees first.

Jeremiah muttered to himself as he picked up a pigeon cage, and Nora stuffed the paper roll into the metal barrel on the pigeon's leg.

"We should cherish its history. If this pigeon only flies to Jewel Bay, how can you send a message to other places?"

"Don't worry about it. Send me to the North. The Temple will pay you."

Jeremiah's face twitched and he turned and walked away without looking back.

Seeing that there was no one around, Nora placed the carrier pigeon on her chest and gently closed her eyes.

After a moment, she opened the pigeon cage in her hand.

The white dove just now had turned into a white crow. The crow turned its head to look at her, then flew away into the distance.

"It's a pity that I'm not a Silent One, otherwise the effect would be much better." Nora murmured, "But this is enough. It's impossible for a Transcendent who hasn't abandoned his human body to stop it."

"Miss Chloe?"

Chloe, who was wearing a nun's uniform, gently folded the letter in her hand and put it away, then turned to look at the door: "Lord, you are here."

Hughes took Connor into the church and looked around. The place was still as shabby as ever.

"I'm sorry, I had something urgent to do that day and couldn't meet you. You called us over. Is there something going on?"

After Chloe visited that day, she left a message saying that she hoped to meet with Hughes, which was why he came here today.

"Let's go inside and talk. What would you like to drink? Black tea?"

"Can."

The three of them walked through the church into the back room. When they passed the donation box, Hughes threw in a few coins under Chloe's expectant eyes.

Listening to the sound of coins falling, Chloe's face showed a satisfied expression.

"By the way, do you have Holy Water No. 9 for sale? I remember that all churches have this."

"No, I can't do it."

Hughes was choked. He originally wanted to buy a bottle and compare the effect with soap.

"Doesn't Brother Keschi do the same?"

"Brother Keschi." Chloe showed a strange look. "His condition seems to have worsened recently. Now he can only stay in bed and can't see anyone."

"Now you are in charge of the entire church?"

"Yes, I am the only one left. It's very hard!"

Don't open it if it's too hard, just leave it to the Sanctuary of Silence, Hughes thought to himself.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Walking into the inner room, Chloe brought tea and said, "My Lord, there is actually something I need to inform you of."

"Speaking."

"The Candlelight Society will banish some criminals here, and a body will be buried here. An investigator will come to escort them. She sent a letter in advance, saying that she plans to stay here for a while."

"Exile some sinners?"

"Yes, they are all ordinary people involved in the case. I have read their files. They used to be skilled workers in the factory."

She emphasized the word "skilled" and then pretended to be helpless and said, "The Lord is building a workshop recently. Not many people come to pray here."

The corner of Hughes' eye twitched.

"Well, actually I've wanted to donate some money to the church for a long time. How about fifty lios?"

"These criminals need to atone their sins for three years. They only need to be fed, not paid."

Hughes silently took out his pocket, and the gold rums jingled inside.

"That's all I brought."

"Thank you for your generosity. You are such a kind person to be willing to give these sinners a chance to atone their sins." Chloe put away her pockets with a bright smile.

"By the way, if they work for you, they will be provided with food."

“.”

Hughes was really impressed by this money-hungry nun. Are all members of the Candlelight Society so greedy? However, this business was not a loss at all. He was in urgent need of manpower, and it would be great if he could have skilled workers.

He didn't really intend to not pay these workers their wages. Three years was enough to train them into qualified engineers. Moreover, according to his plan, he would not be short of money soon.

As for the investigator, Hughes had heard Nora mention him. He seemed to be a supernatural being from the Candlelight Society. He didn't mind if he lived in Castel for a while.

The main reason is that the Candlelight Society is famous for being honest and will not get involved in territory affairs. As long as it does not interfere with his industrial development, he does not mind anything else.

"What happened to that body?"

"Oh, that's a cultist, but we have purified him. You don't have to worry. There won't be any subsequent trouble."

Xius nodded and he just asked casually.

"Come to think of it, that cultist is also called Hughes, the same as your name."

Chloe said with a smile.
