Mystic Holy See

"Mr. Aldrich Alfred."

The middle-aged man withdrew his attention and said Aldridge's full name in a low voice.

"Yes."

Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that cold sweat had already left on his back. But he was calm on the surface, and even nodded casually.

It is not difficult for the Church of the Mother Earth to obtain his information in such a short period of time, not to mention that Aldrich was once the 'mystery hunter' of the church.

The estimate that the man held in his hand just now was the data from his birth to the present.

The middle-aged man awkwardly adjusted his glasses, then fixed his eyes on Aldrich again, and said in a muffled voice, "With what we know about your life and property, it is almost impossible for you to become extraordinary, so can you explain it? Aldridge? gentlemen."

It turns out that in your eyes, a pauper like me will never be an Extraordinary in my life, and it is an absolutely correct choice not to be a 'mystery hunter'! That's a last-ditch effort for desperate people.

But if you think I'm a bully, that's ridiculous.

Aldridge withdrew the polite smile at the corner of his mouth, looked straight at the middle-aged man and said seriously:

"Pay attention to your words, this honorable gentleman! I, Aldrich Alfred, though poor, are a good and law-abiding citizen, and you have no reason to interrogate me with the attitude of a prisoner! "

After saying this, Aldrich felt at ease.

Aldridge could notice that the face of the middle-aged man on the opposite side darkened in an instant, the muscles of his burly body were tense, and then he exuded a terrifying aura, but... so what?

Ah! Unreasonable first, can you still do it?

The middle-aged man slowly calmed down, withdrew his momentum and gritted his teeth, "You are very courageous."

"Sir, if the person in charge of the Church of the Mother Earth is as rude and arrogant as you, then our conversation will end here. I wish you a happy day."

Having said that, Aldridge got up and left.

"Wait!"

The middle-aged man stopped him unexpectedly.

Aldrich turned his head and looked at him calmly.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath to calm down and said in a low voice, "My tone was wrong just now. I sincerely apologize, Mr. Aldrich."

"Can we continue talking now?"

Ah!

Aldridge sneered in his heart and sat down again.

The way the Church of the Mother Earth punishes people by sending such an incongruous person to serve as a civil servant is really special.

Before coming to the forest bar, Johnny told him something.

This middle-aged man's name is Maud Jurgen. He was originally a priest of the Church of the Mother Earth Goddess. From the brief contact just now, Aldrich knew that what Johnny said was true:

Maud is impulsive, irritable, and rough.

Although his talent on the extraordinary road is acceptable, ranking 2nd, his character flaws led to a tragedy at the beginning of this year.

Johnny didn't know enough details, he just heard Claude complain a few words. Probably in April of this year, a dangerous criminal on the most wanted list of the church fled to Hodu. Maud and another priest led their Beyonder team to take charge of the matter, but he was impulsive and completely disobeyed the advice of his companions. Together with his companions, they lead into an obvious trap.

Maud was seriously injured, and the rest of the crew were killed on the spot.

After that, Priest Maud was rejected by everyone, his position was dismissed, and he was sent to the forest tavern to perform clerical duties.

For such a person, Aldrich, who is calm by nature, instinctively rejects him, is incompatible with each other, and the first impression is even worse.

However, there are advantages, such people are not afraid of offending - as long as no other people are involved.

"Please show your extraordinary ability." Maud obviously wanted to quickly end this unpleasant conversation.

Aldridge didn't say a word. He took out a knife, frowned and reluctantly swiped it on his finger. After a short delay, blood flowed out.

Aldridge showed his finger to Maud, who stopped the bleeding after two seconds, and the wound was fully healed after five seconds.

Dry the blood on the fingers, the fingers are intact, no traces can be seen.

"Superior self-healing ability." Maud's face was expressionless, and he simply said the conclusion in his mouth overwhelmed by the beard. Then he used his broad, scarred palm to pick up the pen holder, and clumsily recorded it on the paper.

"Any more?"

"That's all."

That's right, Aldridge deliberately hides the ability to 'harden'. To be precise, he hid the external characteristics of the black gold beast.

As long as no one has seen Black Mist on me, no one will think of me when using Black Mist to hide his identity in the future.

"Mr. Aldrich Alfred, we already know about your situation. The Earth Mother Church's external task list will be open to you. For specific matters, you can ask Mills, the bartender."

Maud took a breath and said sullenly, "Please leave now."

Aldridge took one last look at the man, turned and left.

The external task list of the Church of the Mother Earth is the so-called 'bait'.

In every region, various events happen every day, some are just the actions of ordinary people, and some involve extraordinary factors. The church has limited manpower, so some cases with little impact are open to Extraordinary people who are not affiliated with the church.

On the one hand, the reward is generous, and on the other hand, it is possible to have a good relationship with the church, and maybe even get the potion formula. Many Beyonders are happy to accept this method.

And the church has obtained the information of the Beyonder, which is equivalent to an alternative control.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the room, the woman in the green dress just now greeted him and said with a smile, "If there is anything rude about Maud, I apologize to you."

He has a generous and polite attitude, and even calls him Maud to middle-aged men.

This woman should be the real person in charge here. She probably knows all about the situation just now. Well, she should also mean to control Maud.

No, she's here to 'warn' me!

Aldridge reacted, annoyed in his heart, tired of other people's impulsiveness, and he was not very calm!

"No, it's okay, can I take the quest now?" Aldridge could only smile.

"Of course, do you want to watch it now?"

"Yes."

"You come with me."

You don't need to ask Mills, the bartender.

So Aldrich followed her to another room, which was full of bookcases for files. The woman sat down behind the desk in front of the bookcase, took out thirteen khaki paper bags for documents, and handed them to Modric.

"Huo Du doesn't have many Beyonders at present, and even fewer accept the love of the mother goddess. This is the case accumulated so far, you can take a look."

Aldridge politely took it, and he took out one of the documents and looked at it from a chair beside him.

"Just tell me if you like."

Aldridge didn't look up, nodding and browsing.

The first thing I saw was a theft.

The case happened on September 12th—today is September 18th, which is nearly a week ago. The stolen jewelry store was located on Ginkgo Street in Hom District.

Ginkgo Street in Home District... This is an area of ​​nobles, a place where luxury goods are concentrated, and civilians rarely go there. Corresponding information popped up in Aldrich's mind.

A mud-legged man struggling to survive knows the whole city, sometimes even better than those aristocratic gentlemen. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

The amount of stolen jewelry was not large, only more than ten necklaces, bracelets, etc. were lost, and the amount involved was close to 300 gold nars. The strange thing is that the security measures of a precious jewelry store are unquestionable, but the thieves stole the jewelry without knowing it without causing any damage.

After the case was reported, the police department believed that there might be extraordinary factors and handed it over to the Church of the Mother Earth.

It is estimated that this jewelry store has no aristocratic background, and the amount involved in the case is average, so it was placed on the external list by Mother Earth.

The reward for the task is 20 jinnar.

Aldridge was a little tempted, but he still forcibly looked away from 20 goldnars and continued to look at other cases.

Murder case, missing girl case, entrusting investigation of some 'mysterious' information... Another theft case.

"Um?"

It wasn't until he saw the last case that Aldridge was surprised that it was actually a serial murder case!

To even put this kind of case on the external list?

Well, it seems that I haven't found a clue, so if I want to use the power of the field, maybe there is a breakthrough...

Aldridge made a random guess and continued to look down.

What comes to mind when you think of serial murders?

Cruel, bloody, murderous signs, pathological criminals, obsessive-compulsive patients, victim contacts, a few blind guesses about where they will happen together...

This serial murder case has all the characteristics rounded up, all of them!

Aldrich's scalp felt numb when he read the dossier. After reading it, he took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood.

Staring at the dossier and thinking carefully, Aldridge thought that his first mission should not be a big one, so he decisively picked up the dossier entrusting the investigation of "mysterious" information.
