Reynolds went back to the garden and found Mytheran. He told her that he would be going on a long trip in the next two days.
Mytheran's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard that.
She asked, "You actually accepted such a commission?"
She had always thought that Reynolds was an archbishop. Logically speaking, he should not have to deal with such trivial matters.
But Reynolds asked back without any self-awareness.
"Why not?"
Mytheran tilted her head slightly and thought for a while. She could not find a good answer. After all, Reynolds had always considered himself a priest.
But she had an idea and quickly asked,
"Do you accept any commission?"
"As long as it's simple and safe, doesn't take up too much time, and can be profitable at the same time."
Reynolds answered bluntly.
Mytheran nodded and had a little plan in her mind.
When she was on leave, she would ask Reynolds to accompany her shopping, to the park, and to dessert …
Although a direct invitation seemed fine, she was worried that Reynolds would come up with some other answer, like asking her to go for a run or something …
If it was a commission, she would not have to worry about him rejecting it!
With beautiful expectations, the two discussed theurgy normally for the whole afternoon. It was only when it was almost dark that Mytheran hurried back to the church to deal with the chores that had been put on hold. She did not even have time for dinner.
When he sent her off, Reynolds said, "I heard that there's a sweet corn in the town.
"I heard that York Town has a very tasty sweet corn. I'll bring some back for you this time."
"Mmm, I'm looking forward to it …"
Mytheran replied with a little joy.
After sending Mytheran off, Reynolds turned back to prepare his luggage for tomorrow.
There was nothing much to prepare. Some simple dry rations to eat at noon. They would arrive at York Town in the evening, stay there for the night, and return the next day.
So he only brought the sandwiches that the old archbishop had prepared for him and the small wooden hammer that the goddess had given him. He did not even bring his Cranium Crusher outfit. Anyway, it was just for one night. There was no need.
At dawn the next day, Reynolds sat in his donkey cart and met up with the mercenary team outside the city.
"You're very punctual. I thought that a young man like you would always be a little sleepy."
Captain Ferguson greeted him and turned his head to look at Amia.
"Uh … But this mule … Do you want me to get you a horse?"
He was worried that the mule would not be able to keep up with his speed.
"Thank you for your kindness, but my Amia is very fast and has great endurance. Don't worry, this journey is just a warm-up for her."
Reynolds said confidently.
"Alright then …"
Captain Gerson said helplessly. He didn't force the issue, but they were traveling at a slower pace. At this speed, they would only reach York Town by nightfall.
Fortunately, this matter wasn't that urgent, and it would be easier for them to walk slowly, so the other mercenaries didn't say anything.
Everyone chatted as they walked. Reynolds listened silently and pondered how he should open his mouth and preach the doctrine to them.
However, they did not expect that as they chatted, the topic would automatically turn to Reynolds.
"Say, why do you think that Skull Crusher has disappeared recently?"
The elven mage sapling suddenly asked.
"Didn't you just kill a Baron a while ago? Because of this, it seemed to have caused quite a commotion, but it seemed to have calmed down later. "
Aunt Sandra replied.
The previously silent Caveman Scout was also intrigued by this topic and asked, "What do you think?
He asked, "Is a Baron worth his time?"
Worth it, of course it's worth it. I've always treated everyone equally, regardless of their status …
Reynolds answered secretly in his heart.
The Elven Sorcerer said, "Don't underestimate these nobles.
"Don't underestimate these human nobles. Even if their ranks aren't high, they're just as crazy as those famous people. They might even be crazier!"
He then said with slight disappointment.
"But … I was looking forward to seeing what kind of shocking crimes he would commit when he returned from a long trip, like the orphanage tragedy …"
Wait, wasn't that three years ago? I almost forgot, and you still remember?
Reynolds was speechless as he cursed in his heart.
This so-called orphanage tragedy was caused by a rather famous philanthropist in the Sinless City. On the surface, he was running a charitable foundation dedicated to taking in orphans and establishing an orphanage. He was a kind-hearted philanthropist.
But behind the scenes, he embezzled the charity funds, abused the orphans, and even forced them to beg and steal.
Reynolds was only fifteen years old that year. The old bishop happened to pick up a little girl in the suburbs and kindly sent her to the orphanage under the foundation's name. A few days later, he saw her with her legs broken and eyes blinded, begging on the streets.
After some questioning, the old bishop found out the whole story and found out the person's crime.
That night, Skull Crusher struck hard!
That was the busiest night for Reynolds. He was busy the whole night.
None of the sinners escaped. The headless corpses knelt in a circle on the ground as if they were performing some evil ritual, causing people to think that Skull Crusher was a cult member.
However, all the orphans and the innocent employees were unharmed …
After the case was revealed, people knew the hidden evil behind the orphanage and also understood Skull Crusher's righteous act.
The orphans were also sent to an orphanage run by a large sect and were properly taken care of. In the next few years, no one dared to do anything similar.
It was after this big case that Skull Crusher became famous and attracted his first batch of fans. At that time, Undine, who was in charge of investigating the case and was only a private, was one of them.
"Although it was three years ago, I still feel happy when I think about it now. I wish I was by Skull Crusher's side back then and fought side by side with him!"
"Unfortunately, he's been keeping a low profile recently …"
The elf mage finally concluded.
Reynolds, on the other hand, was silently criticizing.
Do you have some misunderstanding about me?
I'm not keeping a low profile recently, I've always kept a low profile!
And I'm not that short of money recently, so I don't need to covet First Lieutenant Undine's 10 silver coins, so I cleaned up the corpses very well …
In the future, Skull Crusher will probably disappear completely, or change his name to Purifier, right?
When Aunt Shanna heard the mage's words, she said half-jokingly.
"You can't even be our teammate, and you want to team up with Skull Crusher?"
"Then your body would have turned to ashes long ago. Do you know how much his head is worth?"
"Of course I do. 2,000 gold coins, the highest bounty in the city, the fifth highest in the country …"
"And I heard that it's even more valuable if you catch him alive. Many rich women are willing to pay an unprecedented high price for him!"
