Chapter 370: Innocence

It's been a wonderful morning.

After days of rainy days, Heitie Town finally ushered in the sunshine like redemption, so that the impoverished people seemed to be able to see hope. At least, Father Miro thought so. It wouldn't just be a good morning, it would be holy, if it wasn't for some drunken man in the church.

Archimedes! Damn Archimedes!

The priest walked behind the man and shouted: "Archimedes, you bastard, how long will you stay here? Don't you have to work? Don't you know that because of you, my dear teachers How long has it been since Min came to church to pray?"

"That's none of my business..." The man replied lazily.

"Damn it, if they don't come to pray, how will I sell my redemption coupon? I still expect them to exchange some bread for me!"

"I wouldn't buy those things with ghostly symbols."

"Nonsense, how can a murderer like you believe in redemption!" Father Miro snorted coldly.

Suddenly a dim light flashed across the air, and Father Miro saw clearly that it was a dagger. Archimedes turned his head, he stroked his steel-wire-like beards and laughed, "Don't forget that without me, the murderer, there would be no such money in your safe."

"So, what did you just say?"

Father Miro immediately put on a serious expression n, ww♂w. said: "I said we are old friends, true friends. So you see, should we move this dangerous thing a little bit away?"

The priest carefully removed the blade with two fingers. The man yawned, retracted the dagger, and took another sip from the tin flagon. Seeing his own appearance reflected on the matte case of the jug, Archimedes suddenly asked, "Father, do you believe in God?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I thought, it would be great if there really is an Almighty Lord."

Father Miro frowned and said, "I do believe in God. After all, without belief, this damn life will drive people crazy. It's just that I believe in him, but I don't know, is God still willing to believe in us? ?”

"That's right, you humans only do things that make him sad." Archimedes smiled.

"It sounds like you're not human." Father Miro rolled his eyes and asked, "You're a bit weird today.

It seems a little sentimental. "

"Fart, I'm not a woman, how can I be sentimental." Archimedes stretched his waist, "It's just that I've been drinking too much, and my head is a little confused."

"You're the only one who drinks early in the morning." The priest muttered, looking at the man, he coughed lightly and asked, "Archimedes, do you have a dream?"

"what?"

"It's just what I want to do? For example, I want to have a gorgeous and solemn church. Every day, a group of cute and clever children sing hymns. I can see the well-dressed parishioners and listen to their confession from the heart. "Milo closed his eyes, as if immersed in a sweet dream.

"But in fact, your teaching is broken and small. As for the teaching people, ha, those old guys..."

"Damn it, the dream is a dream because it is better than reality!" said the priest who had his dream broken.

"If you want to talk about dreams, I have one too." Archimedes shook the jug, which was almost empty: "I hope to save the world."

"What?" Milo thought he had heard wrong. He shook his head and said, "It turns out that you also have such naive moments."

"Naive? Yes, I have been to many places and seen many things. Everything tells me that there is nothing worth saving in this world. But if, if there is only one person worthy of being saved, I am willing to give Do your best to save it..."

Father Miro put his hand on his forehead: "Your head is not broken, is it? If I hadn't known you bastard for several years, I would have thought you were an old man of God."

"Be prepared to say goodbye to it without taking your hand away."

Milo was taken aback and quickly dodged. Archimedes stood up, his tall figure made the church look a bit crowded. He carried the flagon and walked towards the gate, and Milo couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

"Go and kill a few people, and see if anyone is worthy of being saved." After waving his hand and saying goodbye, Archimedes got into the sun that was too bright outside the church.

That back view made Milo stunned for a moment. It took him a while to react, and then the priest screamed in the church: "Damn bastard! You haven't paid your rent and drink!"

Having said that, Milo smiled slightly, looked at Alan and said, "Sometimes I miss that bastard, although every time he brings a lot of trouble."

Allen put down his glass and asked solemnly, "Father, how did he end up?"

"In the end... I don't know whether he is dead or alive. I don't know. I just know such a man, but I have never really understood him. Your father, how to put it, he is a A complicated guy. I saw a lot of contradictory things in him. His hands are covered with blood, but I can feel those words to save the world, they are words from his heart.”

Milo shook his head and smiled wryly: "So such a person, I don't know what he will look like in the end. Maybe right now, he is drinking in a dilapidated chapel."

"Anyway, thanks for telling me about him."

"It's nothing, that's my duty. Well, I have to prepare for the church. As for the man, I'll tell you more later."

After Father Miro left, Alan was the only one left in the hall. Allen stood at the edge of the table, dipped his hand into the water on the edge of the glass, and drew a simple outline on the table: "What kind of person is that man..."

The next day, Allen left Sur City. On the way, a team from Storm City joined him and headed for Violet Harbor together. It was already a few days after arriving in the port city. Allen's trip this time was very low-key, with only a dozen or so people in the team. Apart from the ten mountain king fighters, there were only Regis and Belmode.

After entering the city, the team went straight to Oriole Street, which is now under the control of Allen. The street is much more lively than it was three months ago. It happened to be evening when Allen and the others arrived at Violet Harbor, and now the street lamps on both sides of the street were lit, illuminating the long street. From the pedestrians on the street, it can be seen that most of them are regular customers of pubs and casinos, and some of them are small businessmen.

After hearing the news of Alan's arrival, Sean and Willick waited to greet them early in the morning. Accompanying Allen through the long street, Sean made a brief report. According to Allen's previous proposal, they have remodeled several buildings at the end of the long street, and it will be completed in two months. At that time, there will be an additional hotel with complete facilities on the Yingyingcao Street, for the passing merchants and The caravan of your own party provides a place to stay.

As for the tavern and casino, under the management of Weinuo's people, they are also doing well. Although there were a few unsightly local gangs who wanted to attack them during the period, they were all taught by Willick and Shanwang Warrior.

The biggest change is that at the entrance of Long Street, Sean transformed several houses into exhibition halls and small workshops. The pavilion is used to display all kinds of fabrics produced in Sur City to attract the favor of customers. The workshop transported a semi-automatic textile machine from the city of Sur, and had two skilled workers stationed there. In this way, samples that meet the requirements can be produced in a short time according to the needs of customers.

In the end, Xiao En said that in the past three months, he had received a batch of orders from the Lily Chamber of Commerce and some other small businessmen. This batch of orders is enough for Sur City to work for a year. When the fat man speaks vigorously, his face seems to glow. Willick on the other side was also in high spirits, and Allen bumped into his waist when no one was paying attention, and asked, "Have you taken Miss Jessica?"

Willick's face flushed immediately, and he said awkwardly, "What are you talking about, boss. Miss Jessica and I just became friends."

"The normal kind," he emphasized.

Allen smiled and said: "It's okay, ordinary friends can become close friends in the future. Then there are close friends, and then...hehe."

He laughed dryly twice, without saying anything. It wasn't long before Allen found out that Willick had only recently talked to Jessica, and every time he used Sean's name to go to her before, he mostly met her housekeeper. In terms of time, the first time Jessica met Willick happened to be the day after Storm City was defeated. The coincidence of time makes people think of the well-connected news channel of the Baihui Chamber of Commerce.

Singer's lair back then, now has the words Suer City United Chamber of Commerce hanging on the outside, and it seems to have become the headquarters of the chamber of commerce. The courtyard has undergone necessary renovations, for example, the courtyard wall has been raised a lot, and there are two more earthen buildings in the corners on both sides. Even the two wooden doors are equipped with steel plates behind the doors for reinforcement. It can be seen that if necessary, this courtyard can be used as a small fortress.

After dinner, guests came to the door. That was Roger's bodyguard, Geralf, who sent Roger's invitation card, inviting Allen to have lunch at noon tomorrow. Geralf added: "In addition to Mr. Roger, there will be Miss Jessica and several other gentlemen. Please be kind to Mrs. Allen."

Allen said happily: "Please tell Mr. Roger, I will arrive on time."

"I will tell Mr. Roger every word." Geralf said goodbye before leaving, "If there is a chance, I would like to ask you for advice again."

Allen smiled and said, "You are very welcome."

Only then did Geralf really leave. Allen looked at the invitation and said to Sean, "Come with me to meet those big businessmen tomorrow."
