The Dean Has Arrived

The weather has become hotter recently, and many people in Brunei City have changed into short shirts, and those high priests have already changed into silk long robes of priests.

Naiya was still wearing a thick winter coat and a big beret on her head.

She hid at the corner of the alley, brushed away the bangs that were wet with sweat on her face, poked her head out secretly, and looked at the busy street.

"The tithes collected this time are a little less."

Although they were wearing long robes of priests, the two youths looked like hooligans. While weighing the purses in their hands, they said as if no one was there: "In this case, it will be difficult for the brothers to get it."

"It is said that a fertile field outside the city that was about to have a good harvest suddenly collapsed and turned into a tiankeng, so the tax collected is so small." The slightly fatter one shook the fat on his face dissatisfied, and pulled himself from He told his companions what he had heard from others.

"I can't help it. Go and scrape some copper from those guys in the slums. Although there is not much oil and water, it is better than nothing."

The tall and thin man smacked his lips unhappily, and stuffed the not-so-full purse into his clothes.

"I heard that Bishop Glennie is already investigating those who have collected exorbitant taxes from those untouchables. I think it's better to calm down a little..."

The slightly fat man hesitated: "After all, the church has stipulated that those untouchables who are poor to a certain extent do not need to pay taxes."

"Bah, what are you afraid of? Don't those muddy grassroots (a dirty word in Brunei, used to describe people of humble background) still have the guts to report me, Mr. Reinafen?" The tall and thin man spat disdainfully: "You don't If I go, I will go alone, but you don't want the money either!"

"Who can't go!" The fat man shook his fat and hummed like a pig: "I just reminded you kindly!"

The salary of the Church of Necessary Evil is not much. Although it is enough for ordinary people to live, it is not enough for these profligate guys who entered the Church of Necessary Evil through relationships, so they have to think of ways to make money.

Just as the two of them were about to advance towards the slums, a thin and dirty figure suddenly collided with the tall and thin one and fell to the ground.

"Little devil. Don't you have eyes when you walk?"

The tall and thin man saw that the long silk clothes on his body were stained with a lot of mud, and immediately became furious and kicked the figure fiercely a few times, and the figure did not dare to resist, and fell to the ground without making a sound.

"It's bad luck."

After spitting on the filthy brat, the tall thin guy and the gloating fat guy moved on.

He didn't take a few steps, but he touched his arms as if he suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he turned around suddenly. However, the figure that was originally lying on the ground has long since disappeared: "Damn it! He stole my money!"

Gritting his teeth, he immediately chased after Fatty together.

Although the opponent's movements were relatively flexible, he was small and had short legs after all. Although the tall and thin man and the fat man looked like they were not working hard, they were actually in good health as a rascal, so it didn't take long. The little man was blocked.

"The stinky brat actually dared to steal my things! You want to die!"

The tall and thin one roared. With a ferocious expression on his face, he kicked towards the short figure.

At this moment, the short man suddenly took out a silver pocket watch with extremely exquisite workmanship from his pocket, and pressed the button on the pocket watch very quickly.

And so the world stopped.

Except for the short one...or Naiya, the whole world, including the tall and thin one who was still in mid-air and kicking, stopped and lost their color. The child has become a world dominated by black, white and grey.

Naiya straightened the oversized crown on her head. The beret covered nearly half of his head, and then ran to the side of the tall and thin man. He pushed and pulled while hanging in mid-air, and managed to get in front of the fat man. As long as this kicking movement continues, it is estimated that The fat man will be kicked far away.

After doing all this, the girl smiled and slipped into the alley next to her.

dead time. This is the effect of the soul tool "Time Devouring Clock" she holds.

It's just that this extremely powerful ability also has many flaws. The most difficult thing for her to accept is the time when time is stagnant.

At the beginning, the time stagnation was only about one minute, which made her feel very convenient, and many things that required risking her life became extremely simple all of a sudden.

This must be a gift from the gods.

The girls at the time thought so.

However, as the number of uses increases, the time of stagnation increases - which may seem like a good thing at first glance, but it is not.

Spend a lot of time alone in a world where everything stands still. I am afraid it is the most lonely thing to experience.

There was no one to talk to, food and water would be so hard that it took a lot of effort to open even a door.

So the later the girl didn't want to use this soul tool.

Go through familiar alleys. Walking through the porch, desperately pushing open the dilapidated wooden door that used to be unstoppable even by the wind, but now it is as heavy as a stone door, the expression on the girl's face suddenly softened.

In the dilapidated thatched hut, several children who were as dirty as her and much younger than her were doing what they could.

Putting the money bag in his arms on the table, the originally soft money bag suddenly became as hard as a stone.

She casually found a haystack and sat down. The girl rested her cheeks on her hands and looked at the orphans she had adopted with soft eyes.

"The time was suspended for a year last time... This time it will take at least a year and a half..."

Although the stomach will not be hungry, but how to resolve this boring feeling.

So I don't want to use this thing...

The girl sighed, holding her cheeks, and the expression on her face was gradually replaced by blankness.

The more she used the soul tool, the more she found that she couldn't do without this treasure. In fact, after discovering that people from the Church of Necessary Evil seemed to be searching for her, the feeling of anxiety in the girl's heart became more serious.

She's just an ordinary little thief.

Facing a behemoth like the Church of Necessary Evil, the only way to protect itself is the "Time-eating Clock".

The more you don't want to use it, the more you have to use it.

Maybe I can get over this feeling of loneliness for a year or two, but what will happen if it continues like this?

One hundred years, two hundred years... At that time, can I guarantee that my thinking will not be swallowed by long time and loneliness?

This must be the devil's bait.

Unfortunately, it seems too late to understand this now.

Just when the girl was feeling sorry for herself, a sudden voice frightened her half to death.

"Although I just guessed it casually... But it really is the "Time-eating Clock"..."
