The old bishop placed the food on the table one by one. Then, he divided the goat's milk that the kitten had been drinking into a few small bowls and wrapped a small scarf around each of them. Finally, he brought out the delicious mixed meat that Avina had been waiting for.
Avina was about to pounce on it, but Reynolds grabbed her twin ponytails...
"Don't move!"
Reynolds said fiercely. Then, like the old bishop, he took out a handkerchief and pinned it to Avina's collar.
Just like that, the old bishop and Reynolds sat at the table to eat. The kitten drank milk under the table, while Avina knelt at the side and ate the meat in big mouthfuls.
In the end, Reynolds only had time to drink two mouthfuls of soup before the big bowl of mixed meat disappeared at the speed of light. It seemed that Avina did not leave anything for her brother and the elders of the clan.
After she finished talking about the meat, she wiped her mouth with the handkerchief in front of her chest and looked at Reynolds and the old bishop eagerly, indicating that she was still not full...
"She seems to be planning to stay here? But can we afford to feed her? I feel like she has a big appetite... "
Reynolds muttered softly.
The old bishop replied, "It's fine.
They don't really rely on this food to survive. They mainly rely on that crystal, the one I gave you before... Eating this meat is just for the taste. "
As expected, Avina pouted in disappointment when she saw that the old bishop didn't say anything. She unhappily took out a piece of crystal from her bosom and threw it into her mouth, chewing loudly before swallowing it in one gulp.
Only then was she satisfied. She found a bench nearby, curled up, and lay down. Just like that, she began to sleep, not at all worried that the two humans would plot against her...
"Isn't this girl a little too nervous? Isn't she afraid of being cooked? "
Reynolds could not help but complain. He then looked at the pair of delicate, smooth white stockings on her legs...
"This is probably the dragon race, right?"
"They have no natural enemies at all in the natural world. They don't have the vigilance to survive at all. That's why they are like this."
The old bishop shook his head helplessly.
"Can we use this girl to help preach?"
Reynolds asked.
"That's difficult..."
The old bishop shook his head.
"Although dragons look very majestic, they are not very popular creatures. Most people are still afraid of them. There are also many people like you who are very interested in her flesh and blood …"
"Therefore, if outsiders were to find out that we have a dragon here, it would attract a lot of trouble. Furthermore, this kind of eye-catching matter is not in line with the teachings …"
"Then why are we keeping her? Since he couldn't ride it, couldn't play with it, and couldn't kill it for meat, what was the point of raising it? Smelting copper? "
Reynolds asked grumpily.
Although his current salary at the weapon shop was generous, a lot of it had to be spent on the daily expenses of the Church. Every penny was hard to come by, so of course he couldn't waste it like this.
The old bishop smiled and replied:
"My plan is to let Avina and her brother return to their original forms, then fly away from the Sinless City under everyone's watchful eyes. After flying far away, they will return to their human forms and secretly return. This way, at least everyone can peacefully celebrate the harvest festival and enjoy the festivities."
"As for the future, you can consider training her like how you train a kitten, or you can bring her into your sect? She can become a nun or something, so you'll have a helper in the future. "
"The number of our believers has been increasing, and you're becoming more and more famous. You'll definitely be busy in the future, so we'll need another helper."
As the old bishop spoke, he carefully glanced in the direction of the Goddess' statue, but he didn't notice anything strange, so he secretly sighed in relief.
It seemed that the Goddess didn't object to this arrangement?
If the Goddess objected, he would have noticed it, just like when he first adopted Reynolds. The original plan was to raise him into a normal priest, but the Goddess objected to it …
He didn't know what the Goddess' intentions were, but believers couldn't fathom the will of God …
After the meal, Reynolds wanted to poke Avina's face to wake her up to preach, but he suddenly had a guest.
It was Sir Donald's butler.
"Master has taken on a strange business and needs some advice from you. I wonder if you have time?"
Reynolds nodded.
"Although I'm very busy every day, I'm duty-bound to help Sir Donald."
He had a good impression of Sir Donald, and if it weren't for him, he would still be living in the old church on Old Oak Street, munching on potatoes, so he remembered this favor.
Therefore, the two of them went to Sir Donald's jewelry shop, Starlight.
Sir Donald was indeed a jewelry aristocratic family. His jewelry shop was located on the busiest commercial street in the Sinless City, Prosperity Avenue, and occupied a small three-story building. The whole shop was decorated with gold and jade, and at first glance, one could tell that it was high-end and classy.
When I'm rich, I'll buy a beautiful piece of jewelry here and sacrifice it to Lady Mia …
Reynolds thought to himself.
The butler took him straight to a reception room on the third floor. As soon as he entered, he saw Sir Donald, who looked unhappy, and a sheriff with a frown on his face.
When he saw Reynolds, the constable with a captain's epaulet finally showed a smile on his face and greeted him with more enthusiasm than Sir Donald.
"You must be Reverend Reynolds? It's great that you're willing to help! "
Reynolds looked at his unfamiliar face and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?
"May I know who you are?"
"Oh, my name is Hank. I'm from the Third Department, which is to catch thieves …"
The constable briefly introduced himself and then explained the situation to Reynolds together with Sir Donald.
It turned out that the shop was robbed …
However, only a piece of crystal was lost, and the other valuable jewelry was safe and sound. The loss was not great.
However, the crystal was different from the rest. It was very beautiful and crystal clear, and it was emitting a comfortable energy.
A noble lady took a fancy to the crystal on the spot and wanted to make it into a pair of earrings. She offered a high price and even paid a deposit.
However, the crystal was stolen that night …
The crystal was sold to the shop by a merchant who set up a street stall. No one knew where he got it from, and the thief was nowhere to be found, so there was no way to find another piece.
After all, this matter was related to the shop's reputation and reputation. Sir Donald had no choice but to ask the constable to help with the investigation. However, the thief was very cunning and cautious, and did not leave any clues or traces, leaving Captain Hank helpless.
In desperation, he suddenly remembered that the beautiful First Lieutenant Undine of the Ninth Department had a lover who was a Reverend named Reynolds. He heard that this man was very good at investigation and had helped the Ninth Department with many big cases.
Thus, Reynolds was invited over.
