The parents of the two brats were not in a hurry to agree to their children's request. Instead, they spent some effort to find out more about the Cult of Mia.
As members of the wealthy class, they certainly would not ask about such things on the streets. Instead, they used their own connections to find out.
Thus, they received such sayings as' The Holy Light Religion has a close relationship with him, and Red Coat Ye Ke and Bishop Mytheran have high praises for him … ',' Pastor Renault's skills are superb, and can be said to be excellent … ',' Pastor Renault is good at hardening people … '
The praises were quite good. Since that was the case, the parents naturally could not refuse. They were shallow believers and did not pay much attention, so they agreed.
On Renault's side, he made a few rules with the two brats:
In the future, they would have to listen to their parents, follow the teachings of the church, be gentle and easy-going, humble and cautious.
They would not have to pray in the church every day, but they would have to exercise every day.
They would also have to study every day, whether it was to inherit the family business or to learn other skills. Anyway, they would have to learn knowledge and not idle around every day.
As for the benefits of joining the church, they would not have to be afraid of any gangsters in the future.
With such conditions, no one in their right mind would refuse.
Thus, after conducting a simple initiation ceremony for the two naughty children and receiving a few dozen gold coins from their parents, Mia's Cult finally had two new followers.
At this point, the number of believers had made some progress, breaking through the double digit mark, and the total number was as high as 11!
Renault and the old bishop were very satisfied and happy. They immediately decided to thank Lieutenant Undine and treat her to a sumptuous dinner.
Renault wrote a letter and sent it over. That afternoon, he received a reply:
"Hmph! Since you've invited me so sincerely, I'll reluctantly accept! "
"It's just a normal dinner, don't think too much!"
"I should be free the day after tomorrow, right?"
And so, the matter was settled.
But on the day of the dinner, it was not Lieutenant Undine who came, but one of her subordinates.
"I'm sorry, the captain has been temporarily transferred to an urgent mission. She can't come, so she asked me to come and let you know …"
"It's really a special situation. The captain has been looking forward to today. Her mood and complexion have been much better than usual these two days …"
Renault and the old bishop looked at the table of food that they had painstakingly prepared and could not help but feel a little disappointed.
In the end, the table of food ended up benefiting Mytheran and the two brats …
The next day, the subordinate came again.
"Captain and the others are missing!"
"A small team that went out yesterday didn't return in time, and we can't contact them …"
"What exactly is the mission?"
Reynolds hurriedly asked.
"Recently, someone reported that there was an evil cult operating in a village outside the city. The captain and the others were ordered to investigate, but they have yet to return …"
"We also sent people out to check the situation, but they didn't find anything strange. They didn't even reach the village. They disappeared halfway."
"Pastor Reynolds, we need your help."
The subordinate said.
"Understood. Please wait a moment."
Reynolds said without hesitation. He quickly found the old bishop and explained the situation to him.
The old bishop immediately set up a divination array and began to divine Undine's whereabouts.
The result of the divination had been interfered with to a certain extent, so it was impossible to determine her exact location. It could only be deduced that she was currently in the northwest direction of Mia's Cathedral.
This basically meant that there was no result.
"When there is no result from the divination, the only thing I can rely on is my intelligence!"
Reynolds said. He then went to the subordinate and asked for help to find Undine.
Considering that Reynolds was a trustworthy partner and Undine's immediate superior, Lieutenant Colonel Jerry agreed to Reynolds's request. He even assigned a few people to Reynolds to command.
"Let's go to the village and have a look first."
Reynolds said. He immediately rode on Amia and rushed to the village called Little Mountain Village with a few sheriffs.
He first used Divine Insight to look into the distance, but he didn't see the familiar green aura.
After entering the village, he activated the Divine Lie Detection spell and asked the villagers a few questions. In the end, they really didn't see a beautiful sheriff.
"Who reported it?"
Reynolds had to look for clues in another direction.
"An anonymous letter …"
The other party answered.
"You believe an anonymous letter?!"
Reynolds was very confused.
"Why not? We don't usually receive such anonymous letters. The few times we did, they provided very effective clues. Who knew that this time … "
The other party answered helplessly.
Reynolds could not help but be stunned …
Ninth Division, where Undine was, was mainly responsible for the investigation of murder cases. They were not responsible for cults, so naturally, they would not receive anonymous letters reporting cults.
However, in the past few years, they had successfully dealt with a few cases involving cults, all thanks to Reynolds's help. Other than providing some clues and ideas on the surface, Reynolds would also write anonymous letters when it was inconvenient to say it out loud.
Therefore, the anonymous letters that Ninth Division had received about cults should have been written by Reynolds. It made the sheriffs habitually believe in the reliability of anonymous letters.
This was really … awkward …
In the end, Reynolds could only suggest,
"There are a few more villages along the way. Let's go and ask again."
Therefore, they went to the other villages without hesitation, but still found nothing.
These dozen or so people had mysteriously disappeared without leaving a single trace behind.
Not only did they not find them, but they also received a lot of reports, and they were all trivial matters.
What domestic violence? What unfilial children? What whose sheep ate whose wheat?
Who could care about such things …
However, among them, there was an old granny who cried and begged Reynolds and the others to help find her grandson who had been missing for a few days.
"My poor grandson was originally going to Sinless City to sell some potatoes, but he didn't come back on time …"
"I've waited for a few days and asked for help, but there's no news. He must be locked up somewhere in the city. Please, help me find him. I can't live without him …"
The sheriffs had long been annoyed by the trivial matters of the other villagers. Of course, they did not want to care about such trivial matters. They could only reject as tactfully as possible.
"Although we sympathize with your experience, we are not responsible for cases like missing persons …"
But Reynolds, who was beside him, suddenly interrupted.
"Granny, do you have any of his belongings? Clothes, jewelry, tools for daily work, and so on.
