Located near the Suchit Steam Train Station, St. Robles Church is the cathedral of the "Eternal Sun" Church in the Honest Market area.
It has the usual onion-shaped round top, painted in gold to symbolize the sun, and underneath it is a gold-rimmed building on a white background and a huge "sun emblem".
Next to it is a bell tower, also with a golden ball as the roof.
Seeing Jane enter the church with the crowd of morning prayers, Franka chooses to wait nearby.
She wasn't sure if the church of the "Eternal Sun" had any special decorations to make her "invisibility" lose its effect, so she could only be cautious.
Like other churches of the "Eternal Sun" Church, the Church of San Robles is also based on gold, with gold leaf inlaid everywhere, which is paired with bright stained glass, huge frescoes filled with blank spaces, images of saints in blue, green and red, and a deep and spacious space, so that every believer can intuitively feel the sacredness and grandeur, and involuntarily bow their heads and become religious.
Jane walked to the front of the altar and chose the second row of seats.
She immediately closed her eyes, buried her body forward slightly, and crossed her arms and placed them on her chest.
As a person who has been baptized and has been in and out of the "Eternal Sun" church since she was a child, although she cannot be called religious, she is very familiar with this process, and quickly got rid of distracting thoughts and focused on prayer.
In the sound of the bishop's sermon, time seems to be frozen in this atmosphere.
After nearly a quarter of an hour, Jian Na opened her eyes, got up quietly, and walked towards a long table located on the side of the main hall.
The long table was twenty or thirty meters long, and there were finger-high white candles placed on it, which were located in different golden lamps, quietly swaying with firelight.
When every believer wants to thank or praise a saint or angel, he can buy a candle from the clergy next to the long table, light them, and place them in an empty lamp.
Jane Na stared at the gently jumping candles for a few seconds, then moved her gaze to the clergy wearing white robes inlaid with gold thread.
She saw a man buying candles.
The man looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old, his yellow hair was neatly combed, and his eyes were bluer than the lake, but they were relatively small.
He wore a white shirt, a yellow vest, and a blue tweed jacket with two gold buttons, and like the men of Trier, there were obvious traces of makeup.
When the man walked towards the empty lamp with the candle, Jian Na approached the clergyman in a white robe with gold thread, opened her arms and said:
"Praise the sun!"
"Praise the sun!" The clergyman responded with a kind attitude and a warm smile.
Jian Na hesitated for two seconds before saying:
"I want a blessed necklace."
It is a more pious act than buying candles.
Of course, it is also more expensive.
The clergyman smiled even more cordially:
"Sister, how about this?"
He took out a necklace made of gold hanging a sunbird from the white candles that had not yet been sold.
The sunbird's eyes were also inlaid with two rose-red gemstones.
——Just as "brother" is a name for men who believe in the same faith, the people of the "Eternal Sun" church like to call female believers "sisters", and some nuns also form the "Nine Sisters" and are allies with the "Little Brotherhood".
Jane intuitively believed that it must be expensive, as if she heard her wallet crying.
After careful selection, she finally bought a relatively simple amulet with only a small sun emblem.
This cost her a full 30 Felkins, which made her feel distressed.
Although she earns a lot in the underground singer circle in the market area, it was only this month that she began to be sought after, and the money she earned before could only allow her to pay rent, fill her stomach, buy performance clothes and makeup tools without asking for money from her family.
Even if she can now earn nearly 300 Felkin a month, and she is still working part-time, she does not feel that the economy has become well-off, because she still has to save for next year's tuition to keep her mother from worrying, and she also wants to help bear some of the family's debts.
After putting on the amulet, Jane took a deep breath, left the church of St. Robles, and entered the old pigeon cage theater before 9 o'clock.
The actor apprentices' classroom was on the second floor, and she walked all the way past the manager's office.
The door was closed, and Mype. Meyer didn't seem to be in the theater yet.
Really ran away?" Jane Na retracted her gaze and walked forward.
Not long after, she passed by the popular heroine Charlotte. Calvino's exclusive lounge.
The door is locked here as well.
Jian Na exhaled silently, raised her chest and head, and turned into the classroom.
She arrived late, and Gaspar, the teacher of the first acting class of the day, had already arrived and was answering a private question from an apprentice.
He was a calm middle-aged man, but he could also control a playboy on stage.
…………
Deep in the underground Trier, inside a hollow full of branches and vine remnants.
The center here is sunken downwards, the soil is messy, and you can faintly see traces of friction leading to somewhere.
Angoulême. Virtue. François followed the cardinal here, standing on the edge, staring at everything in front of him with a slightly embarrassed expression.
The dirty rats have shifted again!
At the cardinal's signal, he pulled out a golden long sword from the head of the gray-white robot doll standing beside him, which seemed to be condensed from light and had a substance.
As soon as the long sword was inserted into the ground, all the green or withered branches and vines burned, but no black smoke came out.
As these obstructions disappeared, the true appearance of the ground, rock walls, and cave roof appeared in the eyes of Angoulême and others:
Hundreds or thousands of slippery and cold snakes are entangled and mate wildly; Countless gray rats bit each other, never retreating until they died; All kinds of insects desperately ate the leaves and dirt until they burst themselves......
…………
After discovering that the police in plain clothes had quietly blocked the old pigeon cage theater, Franka withdrew from the brick-red three-story building, hid in the side alley, and observed the situation on the second floor.
The first acting class was coming to an end, and Jane found that Maip. Meyer did not show up.
At this time, several police officers in black uniforms came in, holding a list in their hands.
The leader stopped the lecture and said to the people present:
"Maipu. Meyer has been proven to be a sinful cultist, and we need to confirm your faith."
The sound of pumping and exclamation sounded, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.
"Quiet!" The police officer who led the group shouted, "I read my name and sign a letter of guarantee, which will be witnessed by God, and no one can lie."
Confirmation of faith...... Jane mentioned that her heart in her throat dropped a lot.
The teachers and actor apprentices present stepped forward one by one, took a letter of guarantee from one of the policemen, filled in their beliefs, and signed the corresponding name.
Not long after, Jane Na heard her name:
"Celia. Bello."
She walked over calmly and got a letter of guarantee and a red absorbent pen.
The contents of the warranty are:
"I promise that to this day, I still believe in () and have not changed.
"Promisor: ()
"Notary: ()"
Jane Na filled in the first two parentheses in order "Eternal Sun" and "Celia. Bello", returning the letter of guarantee and absorbent pen to the police.
After all actors and apprentices signed the letter of guarantee, they were asked to stay in classrooms, rehearsal rooms, etc., and not to leave, waiting for follow-up notice.
…………
Originally belonged to Maipu. In Meyer's manager's office, guarantees were gathered here.
Several extraordinary people belonging to the Church of the Eternal Sun took turns holding an absorbent fountain pen made of pure gold and wrote the initials "D.E." in the notary's position.
They seemed to use red ink, which was as bright as blood.
After each guarantee is completed, it will glow with a golden light and immediately return to normal.
During this process, occasionally there would be a letter of guarantee bursting out with blood, which was often accompanied by a terrible scream on the same floor.
——Even if some actors and apprentices use kana, it is they who have used kana for a long time, and are well known to those around them, and have corresponding occult connections.
…………
Golden Rooster Hotel, room 504.
Charlie tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, even though he was already very tired.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
"Who?" Charlie sat up like an overly frightened bird, brushed the ground, and asked loudly.
"Angoulême. Virtue. François." The voice of the person outside the door was low, but it had a convincing feeling of warmth.
Charlie instantly remembered the gentleman who had asked him about Mrs. Alice's death case, and hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, opening the door.
Standing outside the door were Angoulêm, who had blond hair, golden eyebrows and a beard, and Imre, who had a southern continental ancestry, a brown complexion, and thick lips.
"Mr. François, is there something wrong?" Charlie asked cautiously.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind:
This is what the Charles and the "Red Boots" call the official extraordinaire?
Angoulême did not answer immediately, walked into Charlie's room, and motioned for Imre to close the wooden door.
He looked around and said:
"Bad news, Suzanne. Matisse is not completely dead yet, and she may come to you at any time in the future."
Charlie did not hide his disappointment, pain, confusion and fear:
"What should I do?"
Angoulême nodded slightly:
"There is also good news, we intend to offer you a clerical job, which within us will allow us to better protect you.
"The monthly salary is 320 Ferkin, including compensation for confidentiality clauses. In the first month or two, you need to take the corresponding intensive Intesi language course, which is an internship period, only 200 Ferkin, and after you pass the assessment, you can become a full-time employee.
"Are you willing? We are not forcing you to accept this offer."
320 Felkin per month? Can you protect me better?" Charlie only had these two sentences left in his mind, thinking that it was impossible for any normal person to refuse such a good thing.
He even thinks it's good to work as a waiter for 80 Felkin per month!
He remembered Lumian and Franka's hints and replied in surprise and delight:
"No problem!"
…………
At the window of room 207, Lumian stood in front of the wooden table and watched Charlie follow the two strangers towards the market avenue.
He concentrated and observed Charlie's fortune, but he didn't notice any changes.
This shows that those two people are not "actors" who take chestnuts from the fire!
Lumian's gaze then shifted to the blonde man, wanting to see what kind of fortune the official extraordinary would have.
Suddenly, he had a strong intuition of danger, shrank back suddenly, and squatted down.
Angoulême turned his head and looked at the windows of the Golden Rooster Hotel with a slight confusion.
He felt like someone was watching him.
