As soon as Gallo returned to the church, he found that the old bishop was feeding the little milk cat with mashed potatoes, and a few little fur balls surrounded his feet, meowing and spinning around.
Gallo felt a little strange, so he couldn't help asking:
"When I feed them potatoes, I hate them and refuse to eat them. Why are you so obedient when you feed them?"
While talking, he bent down to pick up one from the ground, held it to his cheek, and rubbed it vigorously.
"Because all you feed is potato skins..."
The old bishop fed all the remaining mashed potatoes mixed with goat's milk to the little milk cat, and then asked:
"Why did you come back so soon? Is there something wrong with work?"
"I have encountered a small problem... I have to ask you to help me with divination."
Gallo reached out and made a small slit between his index finger and thumb.
The old bishop's expression froze, realizing that this problem might not be as small as he made it out to be...
Gallo then told what happened.
The old bishop immediately frowned, took off the little kitten that was on his clothes, and said with a serious expression:
"This sounds a little weird"
"It stands to reason that the person who can get the sheriff, the tax officer, and the fire department to come together to find trouble must be the kind of big shot with a wide range of connections. Even if this kind of person takes a fancy to the income from that order, there are ways to do it. Why would you take such a clumsy method?"
After being reminded by him, Jia Luo also reacted, and immediately slapped his hands and said:
"No wonder I felt something was wrong before, and I only realized it after listening to you!"
"Oh, I'm so ashamed that someone like me, who has always had wisdom in his hands, would miss such a simple doubt..."
"It seems that I was blinded by this salary."
The old bishop couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and quickly asked again:
"Then what are you going to do? Or what are you going to do with divination?"
"Can you find out who is behind these people?"
"I can try..."
As the old bishop spoke, he set up a divination formation on the table and kept asking various questions.
But he tossed and tossed for a long time, but the petals that spilled out were scattered and fell, and they couldn't reach a specific shape at all.
"It actually failed?"
"I'll try another way..."
The old bishop frowned and pondered for a while, then bent down to pick up a kitten, placed it on the map of the city of innocence, and muttered something.
As a result, the little milk cat stomped on the map for a while, leaving a series of messy cat paw marks.
The old bishop stared at the plum blossom-like cat paw prints for a long time, and finally shook his head, still unable to interpret the result.
"It still doesn't work... How about you try it?"
The old bishop suggested.
Gallo quickly imitated his method and put the little milk cat on the map.
As a result, the little furball kept rolling and acting cute on the map, and almost broke the only map in the house.
"It seems that it is really impossible. After all, divination is not a panacea. It is not possible to get results and answers every time."
The old bishop said helplessly, rubbed his chin again, and muttered in a low voice:
"Could it be that the divination has been interfered with?"
"Ah? How come? Your divination will be interfered?"
Although divination is very convenient to use, it is also very easy to be disturbed. Like various legal professions or clergy, there are more or less anti-divination abilities. It is enough to deal with ordinary fortune-tellers. Divination can't give a meaningful answer.
But the old bishop is different...
In Gallo's impression, he is very good at divination, and the results are very accurate every time, and he has never been disturbed.
This used to make Gallo very envious.
"I also find it very strange. If you want to interfere with my divination, you have to at least... wait!"
"Perhaps there is such a possibility?"
The old bishop murmured to himself, thought for a long time, and finally speculated:
"Either the mastermind behind the scenes is really powerful, or this matter has something to do with the cult..."
Gallo couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
In a religious holy place like the City of Innocence, various orthodox religions are gaining momentum, and most of the residents in the city are also Orthodox believers. The living space of evil religions is very small, and they can basically only operate in the nearby countryside.
Moreover, the City of Innocence is also the so-called holy place of many sects, that is, an area where the gods will watch, which makes it even more difficult for cults to survive.
What's more, there are righteous people like Gallo, so the cult basically can only survive.
But this matter is related to various officials in the city of innocence, which is far beyond the capabilities of the cult.
Of course, the old bishop was aware of these situations, and finally concluded:
"Perhaps some big shot really took a fancy to that order?"
"The dangers that need to be faced are obviously different when attacking a real big shot and attacking a character like Baron House, and the consequences that will follow are also incalculable."
"Why don't we just forget about it?"
The old bishop persuaded earnestly.
Gallo shook his head decisively, and said seriously:
"Can't count!"
"I don't intend to get involved in their business disputes, I just want to quietly save money to rent a new church, but they insist on hindering my faith..."
"It's not my fault, they forced me!"
"I'm going to visit the tax official first tonight. Can you divination his address for me?"
"Oh~ I knew it would be like this..."
The old bishop sighed helplessly, picked up the divination tools again, and reminded:
"In short, the situation may be different this time, so you must be more careful."
At night, Gallo changed into his punching outfit, opened the window, and whistled.
The puppet Amiya, who was parked in the backyard, suddenly had a dark red light in his eyes, moved, and came to his window.
Gallo jumped down and landed on Amiya's shoulder, and ordered in a low voice:
"Amiya, transform! Attack!"
"Drive~drive~"
The puppet then carried him on its back and headed towards the tax official's apartment.
Gallo has performed two sets of blessings on this puppet, which can be replaced according to his needs.
During the day, it is a strong little donkey in the eyes of others. It walks in a whisper, not fast, and leisurely.
At night, it will remove the camouflage from its appearance and reveal its true colors—a blue and white tall puppet wearing a wooden apron. It walks as silently as a little milk cat, and runs very fast. It can gallop freely on the deserted streets.
It took Gallo only half an hour to reach his destination.
He jumped off the puppet, and told it to find some flowers and plants to eat in the roadside flower stand, and sneaked into the apartment without a sound.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the tax officer was not asleep at this point, and was still working hard.
