The respected Count Cross suddenly became his own relative, which made Martin a little uncomfortable.

Hearing this title, the Count nodded slightly and said gently:

"In the future, our relationship will remain as it used to be. Internally, you are the tutor of Clint and Rocky. Externally, you'd better not expose yourself to be a member of the Oric family."

"As for me..."

The Count showed a quiet smile: "I used to be a deacon in the Temple of Craftsmen, but now I have left the Temple."

Leave the temple?

Exited or voluntarily leave?

It doesn't seem to be very similar!

Moreover, the Count is still in contact with the temple and looks quite close.

This can be seen from the three extraordinary soldiers accompanying him that day.

Perhaps... the Count has become a secret boy!

Martin was secretly guessing in his heart.

There are also statements about positions in the temple.

Each diocese has a bishop who is the highest in charge of the local area and has absolute power and status.

Below the bishop there are priests, and then deacons.

The status of the deacon is not low, he is considered a middle-level cadre, and his energy is not small.

The Count is not very old and seems to be younger when he leaves the temple.

If you can be a deacon, the sequence will probably not be too low.

The temple also needs funds to maintain daily expenses, and it is huge.

The Earl may be the one who was launched to run the industry...

After all, in this world of strict hierarchy, it is difficult to protect such a huge industry without strong support.

But if there is a temple silently supporting it behind the scenes, it would be natural that the Count could become the richest person in Faralinburg.

The Count was afraid that Martin would not realize the seriousness of the problem and continued to explain: "The identity of the Silver Shield Family may bring some unnecessary troubles and dangers, so it is better not to expose it first."

Martin was still a little confused.

Although he had no good feelings for the gray castle, he grew up after all.

He still has some understanding of the Oric family.

Because it is able to make an emblem so that the extraordinary people can have more lives when dealing with external dangers, many extraordinary people have become friendly with the Silver Shield family.

Although the Olic family's own strength is a bit declining, they still should not be underestimated in terms of connections.

Why are there dangers and troubles?

"Earl, can I borrow the library of the temple?"

After throwing away the question marks in his mind, Martin couldn't help asking the question he was most concerned about.

The Count nodded: "There should be no problem here at the Temple of Craftsmen, but he can only read some books and documents with less confidentiality."

That's enough!

After receiving the Count's affirmative answer, Martin couldn't help but look happy on his face.

After all, the knowledge reserves in the temple are not comparable to those in other places...

After calming down a little, Martin asked new questions.

"Uncle, the erosion mist was created by the Immortal Cultivator. What is their purpose?"

With an encyclopedia like Earl, Martin certainly hopes to unravel the doubts in his heart as much as possible.

The count's eyes sank slightly, and his voice became a little cold.

"Sacrifice life and summon monsters. This is what the Immortal Cult has been doing all the time."

...

Martin asked a lot of questions again, and the count patiently solved his doubts one by one.

Martin noticed that the Count's gentle gaze at him seemed to overlap with Aunt Rebecca in his memory.

By the time the two left the study, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

Swallowing the liquid in his mouth and trying hard to refuse the Earl's kindness to leave food, Martin couldn't wait to rush back to Golden Orchid Street.

This area is far away from the earthquake center, and the houses are not damaged much, but they have also been greatly affected.

As soon as Martin came back, he saw that the glass on his windows were broken.

I checked the things in the room and many bowls in the kitchen were also broken.

There is no loss in the others.

After all, there was no valuable thing in his room either.

The bookshelf stood firmly by the wall and did not fall down, which gave Martin a lot of peace of mind.

This bookshelves filled with books is the most precious thing in the entire house.

At least for Martin, that's true.

After cleaning up, he sat down and took a breath.

As for the damaged things, I will report them to the Count's house butler, and naturally someone will come to deal with them.

In the past, Martin might feel a little embarrassed, but now that he knows the relationship between them, he doesn't have to see each other at all.

At this moment, the whole person completely relaxed, and the feeling of fatigue that he realized quickly came out of his body that had been tense for a day.

After a while, Martin got up and simply put the fruit tea made from honey juice, and ate some bread to fill his stomach.

It was not until the sky turned dark that he pulled the curtains, closed the door, lay on the bed with peace of mind, and took out the quill from his arms.

【Mysterious Quill: Unlocking progress 92%!】

Today, since entering the fog, the quill seemed to be quietly absorbing something from the fog.

Martin doesn't know the principle yet, but for him, it can be considered a good thing.

Originally, he wanted to wait until the quill progress reached 100% before saving Tiya.

This may lead to more opportunities for a future.

But the situation was critical at that time. If he didn't take action, Tiya would have really lost her virginity.

But why can quill absorb erosion fog?

Quill pens should be extraordinary items in the space system. Is the erosion fog related to space...

Martin was a little confused.

Today he also asked the Earl about the fog of erosion. Like Alder's statement, the Earl was not very clear about the source of the fog of erosion.

Since that's the case, I'm afraid I can only rely on myself to explore it slowly.

In addition, there are Pale Poems, the cause of Aunt Rebecca's death, etc., and you also need to be patient and find clues.

Each one is very urgent, but not urgent.

But Martin thinks he has at least one more channel!

The library of the Temple of Craftsmen has opened the door to him.

Thinking of this, Martin couldn't wait.

Amid all kinds of thoughts, Martin fell asleep unconsciously.

...

Tonight's Faralinburg is destined to be a sleepless night.

The earthquake destroyed many houses, and the garrison was digging out the ruins to save those possible survivors.

Most of the homeless people were concentrated in the square in front of the bell tower.

A dense tent was set up in front of the sequel temple, so that the affected civilians could have a temporary shelter and gain spiritual comfort.

The temple naturally gained more believers.

The square was a little noisy at this time.

The sound of conversation, prayer, and crying are intertwined.

No one can fall asleep peacefully when the house is destroyed and the family dies.

Fortunately, there are no high-rise buildings, and the weather in Faralinburg is pretty good. With the cooperation of the people, the disaster relief operation is quite smooth.

Moreover, the organizational strength shown by the senior management of Faralinburg was also good. In cooperation with the two temples, it took only half an afternoon to collect the victims and resettle them.

In the bell tower, a holy female figure stood by the window, staring at the victims in the square, with pity in her eyes.

"Tia, how are your injuries?"

Behind him, an old man walked into the room and asked with concern.

At this moment, Tiya had already put on a clean dress.

The robe is similar to a skirt, but the fabric is not as fine as it is. It is like linen, and you can see some shallow patterns and the color is very simple.

However, such a simple robe has a bit of unique charm when worn on her.

"The wound has healed."

Tiya touched her belly. The skin under her underwear was fair and smooth, as if the egg white had just been peeled. The hideous wound in the morning had completely disappeared at this moment.

"You are too risky today. You must put your own safety first in the future!"
