Demon Sage Chapter 58

20 gold pounds, drawings of forbidden rituals, two goat horns.

All I have gained from this trip.

Mirena Bartley, she went to the police station and turned herself in. No matter what the punishment is, she must bear her own crime.

As for the Bartley father and daughter, these two are accomplices and will also be punished, but Audrey Bartley can put all the problems on her mother and go to church to find a way to restore herself to normal.

In addition, Sherlock will contact his friends in the special department immediately after returning to let them take over this matter, prevent the Church of Resurrection from intervening, and minimize the impact as much as possible.

This is the final plan, and it is lenient.

Old Hooper chose to stay on the Ranfindor farm to prevent them from escaping. Both of them trusted the old hunter, so they chose to leave early.

It's not good to have a family stare at them with resentful eyes.

The return trip was still a donkey cart, but the driver changed from Aldrich to Golem. He didn't know much about what happened today, only that Miss Audrey had come back.

He was happy for this for a long time, but he couldn't find the maid he wanted to share.

"What do you keep these two goat horns for?"

Two goat horns, one large and one small, the larger one was picked up by Aldrich's body, and the smaller one was handed over by Zil Bartley.

"These are all formed wonders. Now that the two blood beasts are dead, and the contract engraved on them has disappeared, they are equivalent to two pieces of white paper, which can be re-engraved with the contract. They are not necessarily useful, but they are very collectible. Value, which one do you want? I can let you choose first."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the smaller one is more valuable, while the larger one is only bulky, and the carvings on it are rough and not delicate enough. The carving shops in the countryside really can't expect more.

The small goat horn is brown and gray, with a metal hoop in the middle and top. It looks like a finely crafted thing.

"Of course I want... the bigger one."

Good or good, Donald doesn't dare to take the boss's favor.

"Don't give it a try? Maybe I'll give it to you. Well, there are 5 gold pounds. You have contributed a lot to this case, especially the two battles this morning. Without you, I couldn't get out of the woods. "

The goat horn and the gold coin were handed over together, and he looked at his assistant. Sherlock felt that he still underestimated him.

"Haha, I'm just a guy who empties his gun beside me. It's 5 gold pounds... One month's salary is just like that. Sure enough, following a boss like you is a way forward."

A little flattery was sent, and Donald didn't know whether Sherlock had seen his two mental shocks.

Since Sherlock didn't point it out, he pretended not to know, and he wasn't ready to rush to reveal his identity as a heretic.

Although the time spent together made him understand that Sherlock was not strict with the heretics, Donald still kept it in his mind when he heard him say that he had a relationship with the special department. The difference is that now he has a lot of secrets, and the heretics he met twice ended up so miserable.

It's still better to be steady.

"That's right, there are so many benefits to following me. Dangers are always accompanied by opportunities."

Sherlock readily admitted his ability.

"Ahem, Sherlock, why didn't you accept the 100 gold pounds before? I think even if you did, Mr. Bartlell wouldn't be too emotional."

He lowered his voice, trying not to let Golem in front of him hear it.

This is Donald's question, 100 gold pounds, this is the coin of the bottom people who can't eat or drink for half a lifetime. Even Zil Bartley, who is quite capital, can use this money to save his life, but Sherlock only Take what you deserve.

"Remember what we discussed last night? Self-control!"

Speaking of this topic, Sherlock stood up suddenly, the ease on his face disappeared, and instead looked at Donald more directly, and continued:

"Donald, the more you are at this time, the more you have to be restrained. My brother once told me, or not once, once you start, no matter what the consequences are, the door in your heart opens, and when you see the door I can't go back! Of course I can pick up the money and put it in my pocket, I hold their handle, keep them safe and don't dare to say a word, even if I go to report it later, their whole family is ruined , I still won't be implicated, then what?"

Yes, then what?

Everyone has a beast in their hearts, but some people shackle it, and some people let it run wild.

Now he is an ordinary person, and he has to be superior to others and do whatever he wants, not only to take money, but also to sue people to gain a good reputation.

What about after becoming a heretic? Do you feel that you are a notch above the average person, and that they should let themselves take what they want?

Of course, this kind of thinking is hard to say. After all, many people follow the law of the jungle.

Donald once thought about what he would do if he had the power. If someone stopped him, he would have to make a big fireball and blow him into a cake. But when he looked around, he would suppress this thought by himself. , along with a glass of milk to suppress the shock.

No kidding, just be realistic.

The future is hard to say, but today's society as a whole is not chaotic, it can be said that it is orderly, especially for the group of apostles, and even... with a lot of constraints.

The Ratcatcher, Mirana Bartley, the fate of these two is proof enough.

Now the government and the church are all over the entire Ryan Empire, sparing no effort to suppress the heretics, and even enacting a set of perfect laws for this purpose. Under the premise that your own strength is not enough to subvert the law, if you want to do whatever you want below, you have to ask Overhead law, guns don't agree!

The weak eat the strong, this idea may be right, but it is in the case of no shackles, when one day if you want to walk sideways, you can walk horizontally, if you want to walk vertically, you can naturally talk to people about this reason.

The powerful rule-makers have advanced weapons in their hands, and have a powerful army. It is obvious that they are targeting aliens. At this time, they have to try to break the rules. Looking back, the rule-makers said that this is the law of the jungle, and it is only natural.

Isn't this death?

You must know that compared with ordinary people, this era is not tolerant enough for heathens, there is no doubt about this.
