Chapter 16: God's Blessed One (Happy Fool's Day everyone!)
(This chapter has a high reading threshold. You need to read the original "Master of Mysteries" before you can understand the system. However, the content does not affect the development of subsequent plots and can be skipped.)
The Office of the Nighthawks Squad in Constant City.
All Parker incident handlers were called into the office.
The senior deacon who called the meeting, Christy Cesima, has not been present, and there are currently only Chris Sheehan, Sean Lee, and Leander Lodge in the room.
"Captain," the blond-haired Sean looked at the captain who was sitting on the top right, "Do you know what the purpose of His Excellency Cesima's calling us?"
Chris, with black hair and black eyes, tapped the table with his hand and said thoughtfully, "Let's announce the result of Dalot Evans's disposal and the reason why Jasmine found the abnormality."
Although the incident this time was simple, there were indeed unexpectedly many anomalies.
Not only the abnormality of Dalot ritual magic, but also the reason for the discovery of the event. This time, they were able to discover Derek Parker's anomaly entirely by a "hunch" of Jasmine, a civilian.
In mysticism, this kind of "premonition" that does not come again must not be ignored.
Therefore, the Constant Nighthawks team also reported Jasmine's "abnormal" business affairs to the sanctuary.
"Goddess, I hope Jasmine is all right." Having said this, Sean couldn't help but silently drew the stars in the middle of the night in his heart.
Jasmine was a civilian who joined after Conston was rebuilt. She was an eyewitness to the "automatic wishing machine" that was popular in Conston before. And it seems that he had a direct conversation with the wandering magician who claimed to be Merlin Hermes.
Although Jasmine joined not long ago, the Nighthawks liked this cheerful and sweet little girl very much.
"Jasmine will definitely be fine. She is the most loyal believer of the goddess. The goddess will bless her, we don't have to worry." Chris also made a prayer gesture in his heart.
"The church attaches great importance to the anomaly we reported this time," Chris Sheehan continued, "that's why the senior deacon was sent to deal with this matter. His Excellency Sesima owns the holy relic, and there is no problem that he cannot solve. of."
"Captain, you're right, we have to believe in the goddess, the church, and Lord Cesima." Leander also drew a prayer gesture of late night stars on his chest.
"But... Captain, seriously, when you said that Your Excellency Cesima was coming, I was really taken aback." As if recalling the fear when he was told this, Sean Lee took a photo pat on the chest.
"He is the 'Sword of the Goddess', the senior deacon of the church, one of the twenty-two high-ranking leaders, and the leader of the Red Gloves. To see such a big man all of a sudden... I'm going to be terrified."
"Also, this is the first time I've seen a demigod, or a demigod recognized by a holy object..."
"Let me digress... Goddess, he is so cool. I also want to be like him in the future! Your Excellency Sesima is really cool, with a calm and restrained temperament!"
Sean's words made the slightly dull atmosphere in the office suddenly swept away.
"You are dreaming." Leander said immediately.
The college student from the history department immediately exerted his ability to choose words and sarcasm to the extreme: "You are only sequence 8 now."
"Also, you're still a 'clown', are you and Lord Cesima the same way?" Leander dug into Sean's dark history skillfully.
"Do you remember what you said back then?" Leander and Sean became Nighthawks at almost the same time, and they both knew each other very well.
"When you chose a fortune-teller, you said it was cool to 'peep your fate'! Why did you turn around and change your mind now?"
"...Can we still chat happily? Even now, I still think it's cool to peep at fate! Can't one person have diverse aesthetics?" Sean retorted, "Why didn't you talk about you, back then? who said..."
Seeing that the fire was about to burn himself, Leander immediately changed the subject:
"However, if you are promoted to senior deacon, the captain is still possible."
"The captain is only 23 years old, and it's already a nightmare. There is a great chance of further promotion."
Chris Sheehan, who was originally on the sidelines, smiling and not speaking, turned to him for some reason when he saw the conversation, and couldn't help but waved his hand.
"Haha, no." Chris laughed, "I only need to get to the nightmare."
"Why?" Sean and Leander asked in unison.
To become a Beyonder, shouldn't everyone want to be promoted?
Moreover, the captain is so talented and talented.
"I want to stay in Conston." Chris Sheehan with black hair and black pupils said, "I want to protect Conston with you." The ranks of the Nighthawks are relatively clear. The captain of a jurisdiction is usually held by Sequence Seven, but if he wants to continue to be promoted, he will be sent to the church.
"Captain..." Sean Lee couldn't help but called out, but he didn't say anything for a while.
However, next, Sean's words could not continue.
The senior deacon with short golden brown hair pushed the door and walked in.
"Your Excellency Sesima."
The three members of Constant's Nighthawks team put down the topics they discussed before, stood up instead, and saluted Christy Cesima who came in.
"Sit down." Cesima smiled.
Then, he found a place in the conference room and sat down, the suitcase in his hand was placed by his feet.
"About Dalot Evans," Cesima, who was wearing red gloves, said without any nonsense, "then let him go."
"Just treat him as an ordinary person involved in this matter. If he comes here for help in the future, he can also help him. He is now our informant."
"…"
Hearing this, Chris Sheehan, Sean Lee, and Leander Lodge all nodded, not expressing any objection to this decision, nor did they look surprised.
In their view, such a decision is not surprising.
Although it is not in line with the usual practice of their Nighthawks, the "favor" that Dalot Evans received in the ritual magic is enough for him to have such treatment.
Otherwise, they wouldn't report this matter to the church, and the church wouldn't send a senior deacon here.
"Don't spread the word about this matter, no one should know about it except you, right?" Cesima looked at Chris Sheehan, the captain of the Nighthawks squad.
"No."
"Well. Very good." Cesima nodded.
Then, Cesima looked around at the three people in the room.
"Then, I'm here this time, except for Dalot Evans, to Jasmine, the clerk mentioned in your report who found Derek Parker in an abnormal state this time..."
Hearing these words, the three people in the office breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the premonition incident, Jasmine has not been able to go home, and has been locked under the church, waiting for the church's reply and review.
"There's nothing wrong with her condition. Her 'hunches' don't have any negative effects, and she won't see things that shouldn't be seen. It's just an early warning hunch. She can still continue to work with you." Cesima smiled. Results announced.
Everyone immediately let go of the breath they mentioned in their throats, and they smiled at each other in unison, and drew the stars in the middle of the night on their chests.
"Thank you goddess!" The night watchmen said in unison.
After waiting for the three to celebrate briefly, Cesima continued, "However, I still need to confirm something."
"One by one, I'll ask Chris first, the others are waiting outside. Is that okay?" Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Cesima smiled, "Relax, it's not a bad problem."
"Okay." Sean Lee and Leander immediately felt relieved and left the room.
After the companions left, Chris and Cesima, who remained in the room, looked at each other.
Cesima lifted the box at her feet, put it on her lap, and then asked, "First of all, I have two questions."
"I need to explain why she became a civilian in the first place. And what she said when she told you about the anomaly."
"Well... Jasmine said that at the time."
Chris seemed to be lost in memory.
"She first pointed to the direction of the incident and said, 'Captain, in this direction, there is a protector of the children who was injured. Can you go and have a look?'"
"When I confirmed to her, her attitude was firm and her tone was firm: 'Someone is hurting him 200 feet away in this direction'."
Since it was what he had just experienced and also involved close friends, Chris still remembered it very clearly.
"When I went further to confirm what the 'guardian of the children' was, she said, 'I don't know either. But I do know that he must have protected Conston's children'."
"Because Jasmine is our friend, she is so sure that we took action right away. With the help of the information Jasmine provided, and investigation along the way, it was finally determined that Derek Parker, a children's philanthropist, was injured."
"As for Jasmine, she joined us because she once met the self-proclaimed wandering magician Merlin Hermes, made a wish to the 'Automatic Wishing Machine' and got a response."
Seeing that the senior deacon in front of him was lost in thought, Chris thought for a while, and after mulling over his words, he asked, "Lord Cesima, do you know the reason for Jasmine's 'premonition'? Will it cause any harm to her?"
Hearing this question, Sesima, who was originally thoughtful, came back to his senses. He looked at Chris with his dark eyes, and said with relief: "Don't worry, it won't cause harm, There's no hidden danger. She doesn't see things she shouldn't see."
Cesima's words ended here, without answering Chris' first question.
And Chris tacitly didn't ask.
Cesima then asked some more questions, and Chris answered them one by one.
Indeed, as I said before, it is not a bad problem.
Even after answering these questions, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Chris can be sure that after this interview is over, their little angel, Jasmine, will likely have a chance to become a night watchman. Of course, the final result depends on Jasmine's own wishes.
After watching Chris close the door, Cesima looked down at the box on her lap.
At the same time, he couldn't help laughing: "Wandering magician and protector of children..."

I actually got to this chapter on April Fool's Day! so happy!
Praise the fool!

The full honorable name of "World Gehrman" inspired by the plot of this paragraph:
"The Blessed Ones of the Spirit World and Origin Castle;
"From ancient mysteries;
"Witness of a long history;
"The protector of Backlund magic and dramatic performances/The protector of all poor children in Backlund;
"The great Gehrman Sparrow."
P.S The content originally belonging to Gehrman's honorary name should be "The Protector of Backlund Magic and Drama" (see Volume V Red Priest Chapter 193 "Another Form of Companion") but later In order to circumvent Amon's positioning, Xiao Ke changed the description of his honorary name to "The protector of all poor children in Backlund" (see Chapter 27, "Questioning on behalf of the Light Chaser" in Volume VI). Of course, Ke is the protector. In addition to the Ruen Charitable Fund, there are also the children who were rescued from the Kapin case. Therefore, after he becomes a god, the protection of children will naturally be upgraded.
Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that those whose wishes have been fulfilled by Merlin Hermes are considered to have established a connection with Ke, and some of those kind people will also be favored. And those who are blessed will of course make contributions to the cause of God.
-Protect the children!
Thumbs up! nice! stupid! By! (baboon screams)
