In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, inside the "beloved man" tailoring shop.

"Um……"

With a low groan, the boss at the counter table raised his head from his elbow, shook his somewhat groggy brain, frowned and looked at the environment he was in, and then looked down at the

The skin became somewhat rosy, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

"Why did I... fall asleep in the store? What happened yesterday? Why do I feel so tired... and it seems like... someone came to the store... and then I passed out?"

With her brows furrowed, the county magistrate's sister-in-law tried hard to recall what happened yesterday, but she couldn't recall anything.

Thinking of a possibility, the boss's face changed, and he immediately touched his pockets with both hands. After he took out a key as usual, he breathed a small sigh of relief, and then hurriedly ran to a store deep in the store.

In front of a secret counter, insert the key into the lock and open the cabinet door.

Inside the cabinet door were several bags filled with soul coins and several thick stacks of soul coins. However, the boss did not look at them. Instead, he reached into the side wall of the cabinet and groped around.

, and then pressed a small square that could be pressed.

"Click."

There was a slight sound, as if some lock had been opened, but there was no change in the cabinet.

The boss stood up, moved the carpet in front of the cabinet and pressed one hand on a tile on the floor. She opened the tile easily!

And surprisingly, there is a small secret compartment under the floor tile. This floor tile is also a secret space with a lock!

"Huh~"

Taking out the account book, the boss looked through it for a while and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the account book was not lost.

Fortunately, they didn't get rid of this thing, otherwise their family would suffer.

But if it wasn't for this ledger, then why was he knocked unconscious?

Or is it just that I have been too tired these days and dreamed that I was unconscious?

Looking at the key in his hand, the boss touched other places on his body and pockets, and there was nothing missing!

After putting the ledger back and locking it again, he checked the situation in the store one last time and found that there were no missing items such as clothes, money, etc. The boss could only think that he was too tired these days and fell asleep in the store last night.

After all, she has to accept a large number of accounts and process dividends these days, which is really a labor-intensive task for her.

"Sure enough, I should give myself a holiday and go to the city to buy a set of jewelry..."

…

In a church in Crow County, a man dressed as a priest held a scripture in his hand and was praying facing the statue of God in the church.

The first sunlight entered the church through the glass on the upper side of the church, trying to shine sunlight into this supposedly sacred place and also illuminate the man's back.

The warm sunlight shines on the black priest's attire, making one's back feel quite warm.

But when the sun shone into the church, the man did not turn around to feel the sunshine. Instead, he still turned his back to the light and lowered his head to pray to the statue of the god still in the shadow.

"God's blessings are all over the world. The Lord's shepherds watch over the confused lambs, guide them in the direction, and avoid the bites of wolves in the depths. The shepherds have to give everything for this, and God will also pay attention and bless them for their piety.

.”

After reciting the last prayer, Schrader opened his eyes that he had just closed, looked up at the statue with drooped eyelids that seemed to be watching him, but was still in the shadow, and stood up.

.

The sun shone on his back, shining bright spots on his black priest's robe, but he was facing the shadow. The priest's face was blurred with his back to the light source, making it difficult to see clearly what he was hiding behind.

Faces in shadow.

As a great soul master, many people don't understand why he voluntarily applied to be a priest in a church in such a remote small county. Wouldn't it be better to be a deacon in the main city or a big city? Not only is the salary more generous, but also

The living environment and convenience will also be much better.

But, what do they know?

In the main city, he was just an ordinary deacon, with no shortage of power or status, but here, he was the only priest of the church and the only spokesman for Wuhun Palace's will!

What's more, due to the current Pope, Wuhun Palace's supervision of its members is much stricter than before. As members of Wuhun Palace, they are subject to strict control in the city. If any illegal behavior is discovered, then

But you will be severely punished by the organization.

There is no profit or water to be gained at all, and there is no substantial material reward at all except respect and monthly salary, and Wuhun Palace's monthly salary is the lowest among major organizations.

This kind of life is not what Shi Lade wants. He worked hard to become a soul master and joined the Wuhun Hall not to accept all kinds of control. Even his own property must be monitored.

What he wants is to live a superior life.

Therefore, he voluntarily applied to come to this mountainous county that was so remote that no one wanted to come.

Here, there is no control and supervision, he can do whatever he wants, and this place is remote, and the bishops and deacons in the main city are not willing to spend half a day coming here, so as long as no one comes to the city to report, then with his

With the strength of the great soul master, he is the only shepherd here, and all the residents here are the confused lambs who should be guided by him.

The shepherd guides and protects the lamb, but the lamb is also the shepherd's food.

Therefore, as a shepherd, it is appropriate for him to seek from the lost lamb.

After arriving here, he found that this place was indeed a closed place as he thought, and there were also people of his kind.

The county magistrate here.

Being of the same category, they immediately understood what each wanted and wanted, and immediately started cooperating.

The county government was responsible for searching and controlling, while he was responsible for driving those lost lambs that even the shepherd dogs could not drive back to their sheepfolds.

Originally, Slade was worried that what he and others would do would attract the attention of the main city. Although the people from the Wuhun Palace were unwilling to come here to monitor their situation, this was still the territory of the Barak Principality after all, and the people of the Principality would always

You shouldn't fail to come and see the people under your jurisdiction once.

But maybe it’s because the Crow County magistrate has given gifts to the main city over the years, or maybe he overestimated the ethics of Barak’s bureaucrats. Over the years, the city’s bureaucrats have never been here even once!

Perhaps, this can be regarded as the blessing of the gods. It seems that even the gods approved the shepherd's behavior of "eating lambs and plucking their hair" from the lambs.

Schrader, who has studied neurology in Crow County for many years, has become more and more at ease with his actions. He is the spokesperson of the will of the gods here and a person protected by the gods. Everything he does and thinks is God's will.

"Crack!"

Just when Schrader was adjusting his dust-free black priest's robe with his back to the sun, the door of the church was pushed open directly.

Sunlight quickly poured into the church through the opened door, and immediately illuminated the statue of the god that was still in the shadow and seemed dim. The originally bright white statue of the god shone in the light.

And this sudden light also made Shi Lade subconsciously close his eyes, and raised his right hand to block his face, as if he didn't want this sudden light to shine on his face.

"Are you the Father Schrader of this church?"
