Chapter 109: Ninety-fourth Section: Accidents and Assistance_2
Passing by civilians giving their statements, Malin stopped in his tracks, "The body you discovered?"
This question made the officer who was taking their statements turn around with displeasure and say, "The gentleman is asking... Ah, it’s a little Priest." Seeing the Holy Emblems on Malin and Matilda’s chests, he smiled awkwardly with some embarrassment.
An old man dressed like a Bishop beside him smiled and tipped his hat, "Greetings to the children from the Church of Justice and the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, good afternoon."
"Good afternoon, your Excellency of the Church of the God of Wealth," Matilda said with a smile, lightly lifting the edge of her leather skirt.
With Matilda’s introduction, Malin also smiled and nodded, "Good afternoon, your Excellency."
"What brings you here?" The Bishop’s question was the same as what the outside officer was thinking, so Matilda repeated what she had said earlier, and seeing the companions behind the two, the Bishop nodded in understanding, "I apologize, two little ones, it looks like I’ve ruined your happy adventure."
"You’re too kind, your Excellency," Malin said with a chuckle, shaking his head, "May we enter to confirm the body?"
"You may, though the body has been moved out, it’s right down the corridor. The main building needs to be purified, we just sent a fast horse to the city half an hour ago to inform them."
"Was it an evil ritual?" Matilda frowned.
"No, no ritual, just a desperate man who committed familicide because he couldn’t repay his debts... Ah, even if he could not pay off the debt, our Church of the God of Wealth wouldn’t commit the sin of taking away his children. Such a man is truly worthless, lacking even the courage to go mining in the wells to repay debts."
