Assaches did not like to drink black coffee. He liked the sweet taste. However, Mr. Calvin had always been very materialistic. He took a sip of the coffee made by Mr. Calvin and frowned because of the bitter taste.
Robert was standing behind Calvin at that moment, looking straight ahead.
"I know you came to me because of Robert." Mr. Calvin thought for a while and said, "But before I answer you, tell me … How much do you know, Assaches?"
"Not much." Mr. Assaches shook his head. He looked at Mr. Calvin's expression and said, "But it should be quite a lot. For example … Holy Water."
There was a slight change in Calvin's expression. "How much do you know about the Holy Water?"
Mr. Assaches took a deep breath and said, "I wasn't sure before I came, but now … I think I know less than you, Mr. Calvin."
"That day will eventually come." Scholar Calvin sighed and said, "Before we discuss the issue of the holy water, Arthashis, do you know why I wanted to travel to unknown places?"
"I know." Mr. Assaches nodded. "You have a lot of free time?"
"…" Calvin could not help but open his mouth. Then, his eyes widened in an unusually stern manner.
Mr. Assaches felt that his stern look was nothing compared to Miss You Ye's. He smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Calvin."
Mr. Calvin said, "I went to find Master Marianne's footprints."
Someone who could be called a master by Mr. Calvin?
Mr. Assaches could not help but ask, "Mr. Calvin, who is this Master Marianne?"
"Two hundred years ago, there was a large-scale rebellion in the City of Freedom. In this turmoil, a large number of academic works were burned, hundreds of scholars were thrown into prison, and some were even burned at the stake. Their descendants were defined as the bloodline of sinners and exiled to a barren land outside the seven capitals. I've told you about this part of history, haven't I? "
Arthas nodded. Soon after, he thought of something. "Then this Master Marian, could it be that she was part of that turmoil?"
"Master Marianne is the source of that rebellion." Mr. Calvin said seriously, "At that time, she published an academic work. However, this work did not bring her honor. Instead, it brought her disaster."
"What about this work?"
"It has something to do with Holy Water," Mr. Calvin said seriously. "It might even be the method to make Holy Water. We were able to discover from some of the remaining information that Holy Water seems to have the ability to help people increase the level of Divine Favor, and even the level of Praying and Sanctification. "
Mr. Assaches remembered Fache's description of Holy Water … This thing could even allow people with sinners' bloodlines to regain the ability to pray.
"It can increase the level of Divine Favor, and even the level of Praying and Sanctification. Isn't this a good thing? Why is it forbidden … and even regarded as heresy?" Mr. Assaches could not help but shake his head.
"Whether it's the level of Divine Favor or the level of Praying and Sanctification, it's actually a reference to measure our devotion to faith." Scholar Calvin said, "It also indirectly shows the problem of our loyalty to the saints … If this standard is not raised by the sincerity of one's heart but by borrowing external forces, then is the meaning of faith still there?"
"This …" Mr. Assaches began to understand the seriousness of the matter.
"This kind of false faith is obviously not something that the Supremes are willing to accept." Mr. Calvin sighed and said, "But the reality is that praying by consuming Holy Water can produce even purer willpower."
"Purer? How is that possible? " Mr. Assaches could not help but be shocked. "Teacher, didn't you just say that this is a false faith?"
"That's right. Because of this, it's ironic." Mr. Calvin smiled bitterly. "We pray devoutly every day, and the ascetics even admonish themselves for many years, but the result is not comparable to some … some things that are obtained without any effort. Then, what is the meaning of faith to the Supremes? "
Mr. Assaches was silent … The appearance of Holy Water could greatly increase the production of willpower, but it also implied that it would shake the foundation of the Supremes as the object of faith. It was an extremely sharp double-edged sword, and it was extremely dangerous.
"If that's the case, then teacher …" Mr. Assaches suddenly looked up. "Why do you still want to look for the thing left behind by Master Marianne? You … You want to make Holy Water too? "
"I do want to make Holy Water." Mr. Calvin nodded slowly.
Mr. Assaches suddenly slammed the table and stood up. "Teacher, this joke of yours is the worst joke I've heard this year! I hope you can say it again! "
His eyes were like a cheetah's as he stared at his teacher.
"I want to make Holy Water," Mr. Calvin said calmly.
Mr. Assaches was still staring at Mr. Calvin, but his eyes gradually became blurry … He shook his head hard and felt a strong sense of dizziness.
Thump!
He fell head first onto the ground.
Mr. Calvin sighed slowly and said in a low voice, "Only when you learn how to make Holy Water can you find …"
Mr. Calvin slowly stood up and looked at Mr. Robert behind him. "Mr. Robert, I brought you out of the Sinful Land and spent ten years to get you close to Balam … Now, we can finally find a glimmer of hope, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Calvin. For ten years, I used Holy Water without hesitation … I finally found Balam's secret. "
"Then … We have one last thing to do." Mr. Calvin nodded and looked at Mr. Assaches on the ground. His eyes gradually focused. "Prove that the Sage … is wrong."
…
…
…
…
The cherry-wood roulette was spinning crazily … Small white balls were bouncing on the roulette. The people around the roulette were shouting crazily.
Nan Xiaonan was among them. Like the gamblers around her, she was shouting loudly.
She had lost almost all her money so far … She only had this crystal card with willpower that was deducted after she bought the bread last time.
She didn't know if she didn't gamble, but after she gambled, she realized that the willpower in this crystal card was a huge sum of money.
As the saying goes, wealth comes from happiness … Lady Nan, who lost all her money in the last round, was soon squeezed out by the gamblers. Her eyes were unfocused, and she sat in the corner blankly as if her body had been hollowed out.
It was a very secluded place … There was a casino here with many projects. The reason why she was able to come here was that she had worked hard on the food stall owner for most of the night.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that kind of competition. She just continued to discuss her gambling experience with the food stall owner. They even had a feeling of regret that they didn't meet earlier. In the end, the food stall owner slapped his thigh and resolutely brought Nan Xiaonan to this place where money was squandered.
There was actually such a place in the [Freedom City] that stimulated the primitive desires of human beings … At first, Nan Xiaonan didn't believe it, but now that she had lost all her money, she had to believe it.
Those masters from the public security office didn't do anything … When she was at the airport, they would arrest anyone who threw rubbish, okay?
"Lady Nan, why don't you continue to play?"
At this time, the owner of the food stall came to Nan Xiaonan's side with a smile … It was unknown whether this guy did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he was actually holding a lot of chips. It looked like he had just won them.
"I lost all my money," Nan Xiaonan said with an unlucky face, "If I continue to gamble, I can only lose my underwear."
"Your underwear isn't worth much." The food stall owner was still smiling, "At least, it's the kind that isn't popular."
"… Then there's no other way." Nan Xiaonan shrugged, "I can only leave. I'll come back when I have money … This place, I'll definitely come back to take revenge next time!"
The food stall owner suddenly said, "Hey! Lady Nan, you don't have to be so anxious. You know what happens on the gambling table. That was then, and this is now. Maybe you can make a comeback in the next round? "
Nan Xiaonan squinted her eyes and said, "Can you pawn your underwear here? If you can, I'll go and make a comeback. "
With that, Lady Nan didn't say anything and reached out to grab the chips in the food stall owner's arms, just like a hungry dog snatching food.
"That won't do! This is what I won … Bam! Don't bite me! You're really a dog! " The food stall owner was shocked, "You just want the funds to make a comeback. There's a way, there's a way!"
"What way?" Nan Xiaonan suddenly stopped.
The food stall owner said, "There's a way that you can try. Although I don't know if it will work in the end, follow me first."
Nan Xiaonan nodded doubtfully.
Soon, under the guidance of the food stall owner, they quickly walked out of the room. The food stall owner said, "Actually, this place treats those generous customers very well … I see that you can even lose an entire Petitioner's Crystal Card of Power of Will. Here at the casino, you will definitely be very welcome."
"I feel like you're f * cking mocking me?"
"That's not what I meant!" The food stall owner said with a fearful face, "But for generous customers, this place really treats them very well … Here, it's here. You can go in by yourself. It's up to you whether you can make it or not."
With that, the food stall owner pushed open a door. Nan Xiaonan subconsciously looked in.
She found that this was a relatively ordinary study. In the study, there was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. In addition, there was a young lady with a hot body who didn't look like a decent person.
After the food stall owner pushed open the door, he quickly greeted the people inside and turned around to run away … Nan Xiaonan was startled. She immediately raised her head, puffed out her chest, and tentatively walked into the study.
"I'm the manager here." The man made a gesture of inviting her to sit, "You can call me [Mr. Agent]."
"Mr. Agent?" Nan Xiaonan frowned, but also sat down, "You mean, this casino is not yours?"
"You can call me [Mr. Agent]." The manager … [Agent] smiled at this time, "I heard that you want some funds, right?"
"That guy brought me here at your behest, right?" Nan Xiaonan sneered at Ye Xiwen.
[Agent] said, "For everyone who enters here, we will strictly check them … After all, we also have to ensure the safety of the guests here as much as possible. Madam, please let me see your destiny. Not too much, just the page of personal information will do. I'm more curious about who can have such a high number of petitioner's crystal card. "
Nan Xiaonan was silent for a moment. Then, she coldly glanced at the secretary with a hot figure behind the agent.
The secretary was looking at her with a smile, but she was holding a fruit knife in her hand, and seemed to be picking her nails.
Nan Xiaonan shrugged and waved her hand in front of her … The fake destiny system produced by Miss Maid slowly unfolded.
The [Agent] waved his hand at this time, and the female secretary nodded. She walked directly to Nan Xiaonan and began to observe carefully.
At this time, Nan Xiaonan was somewhat nervous … Who knows if this fake product can withstand it?
Soon, the secretary withdrew her gaze, but looked at Nan Xiaonan with a surprised expression. Then, she returned to the side of the [Agent] and whispered something.
After a while, the [Agent] frowned.
Nan Xiaonan felt that things were getting a little bad, so she wanted to grab the pen on the table, but the [Agent] showed a bright smile at this time, "It turns out that you are a member of that family, no wonder you have such a high number of crystal cards … I'm sorry, Lady Nan, this is just a necessary procedure. I hope you can know that we have always been very considerate to our valuable guests. "
A member of that family? Which family? Nan Xiaonan remembered that the fake destiny system given by Miss Maid gave her the identity of a village girl living in a rural area.
"So?" Nan Xiaonan frowned subconsciously.
The [Agent] smiled and said, "The problem of funds is not a problem at all … As long as Lady Nan can sign this contract, it will be fine."
An exquisite document suddenly opened in front of Nan Xiaonan.
She picked it up and looked at it carefully, "… I voluntarily obey the arrangement of the casino, including but not limited to participating in the research and development of new projects until the debt is paid off. So, what is the research and development of new projects? "
The [Agent] said, "Since we run a casino, Lady Nan, what do you think the new projects will be? Of course, it is a project to better serve customers."
"Oh …" Nan Xiaonan suddenly sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? I'll just stop gambling … Goodbye. "
Nan Xiaonan stood up and turned to leave.
But at this time, outside the door of the study, there were already four strong men … Nan Xiaonan blinked her eyes, "Isn't this script a bit old-fashioned?"
"As long as it is useful," the [Agent] said with a smile.
So Lady Nan attacked without saying anything.
Then Lady Nan was carried back.
"I thought you had some skills, but it seems that you are just so-so." Then, the [Agent] grabbed her finger, dipped it in Indonesian, and pressed it on the contract, "Take her away."
"You can't do this! You will be sent to the stake! "
Lady Nan finally screamed at the top of her lungs.
