Chapter 356: Chapter 349> Browning    i

She heard Priestess Miriam, telling him to leave.

The man was a bit flustered and hurriedly said, “But, my injury is not healed yet…”

“Browning, I have warned you not to use those tricks from the pub here. If you haven’t left by this afternoon, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Priestess Miriam said coldly.

Most of the temple’s staff were young female assistant priests, some of whom were just children.

Many people came from nearby villages and were easily deceived by Browning’s greasy old-fashioned sweet talk.

Obviously, this wasn’t Priestess Miriam’s first time warning this man.

But he was caught red-handed again.

“Priestess Miriam, I was just chatting with her.” Browning defended himself.

“In one hour, if you haven’t left, your name will be known by every person who comes to the temple to pray.” Priestess Miriam directly shortened the man’s leaving time to one hour.

Hearing the priestess’s warning, Browning’s complexion changed instantly.

He knew how powerful a single word from a priest, especially the main priest, could be.

If this was not Lyss City, a priest’s word would be enough to send him to the gallows or get him burnt alive.

“Alright. I will pack my things and leave, Priestess Miriam!” Browning said reluctantly.

In one hour.” Miriam reminded him again.

“I know.”

Priestess Miriam, with an icy face, was ready to leave.

At this point, Fang Hao also recognized Browning, the painter who was interrogated in the Faceless One’s hut.

Unexpectedly, he met him here.

Priestess Miriam, I haven’t seen Browning in a long time. I want to chat awhile. Of course, this will not delay his departure within an hour.” Fang Hao began.

Priestess Miriam glanced at Fang Hao, not expecting that he also knew Browning.

She shot Browning a cold glance and left ahead.

After Priestess Miriam left, Browning frowned at Fang Hao, “You know me?”

His memory was pretty good, but he truly had no recollection of the man in front of him.

Naturally, Browning didn’t recognize the current Fang Hao.

At that time in the dim dungeon, Fang Hao had performed God’s Presence, controlling a skeletal sparrow to speak with him.

“Mr. Browning wouldn’t have forgotten me. We chatted at the last ball.” Fang

Hao entered the room, saying enthusiastically.

Just like he was seeing an old friend.

“Ah! I didn’t forget.” Browning frowned and replied subconsciously.

“How did you offend Priestess Miriam? This is the first time I’ve seen her lose her temper.” Fang Hao moved his chair forward.

“First time seeing her lose her temper? That’s because you’re not here often.” Browning lifted his injured arm, packing his things, “She’s just an old- fashioned old woman. I was just joking with a few female assistant priests, and she wants to drive me out.”

Hearing Browning insisting on having his own way.

Fang Hao was speechless, this was a temple, not a pub.

You held the hand of a female assistant priest, constantly touching, is this a joke?

Moreover, he did it with several of them.

He was a habitual offender. Priestess Miriam not killing him was already lenient.

But these were all just thoughts in Fang Hao’s mind; he wouldn’t say them out loud.

He asked directly, “By the way, what happened to your injury? Were you beaten because you touched some girl’s hand?”

Hey! You can’t say that randomly. Am I that kind of person?” Browning said sternly.

“Then how did you get hurt?”

Don’t even mention it, I was kidnapped by a group of damned guys, almost died inside. Luckily, the city lord got the news and rescued me.” Browning’s face instantly turned serious.

Recalling the situation at the time, he involuntarily felt a sense of fear rising in his heart.

“Kidnapped, who would dare to kidnap you?” Fang Hao carried on with the conversation.

“Damned Derek. He is actually a spy for the Faceless Ones. I even gave his wife a full-body portrait for free last time.” Browning gritted his teeth.

“Dowie? Which Dowie?”

“The building officer Dowie, his son even joined the security team.”

The building officer was in charge of the construction and maintenance of the city.

It seemed like there were quite a few city officials who had joined the Faceless Ones as well.

How did the city lord handle it?” Fang Hao continued to inquire.

“How could they handle it? They arrested him, and his son was also dismissed from his post, I’m not sure about the progress.” Browning said, “I tell you, Lady Rebecca even met with me. She was wearing a loose long skirt at the time. Her figure and looks, she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

The instant they talked about women, Browning’s spirits lifted.

Besides Dowie and his son, were there any other people?” Fang Hao kept asking.

“Ah, I don’t know about that, I was sent here to heal, no one told me about the progress.” Browning said helplessly.

Actually, he had also noticed some inconsistencies.

The city lord’s intense attention, and the involvement of city officials, meant this wasn’t a minor matter.

He was also a bit worried and even considered leaving Lyss City to live in another city for a while.

Oh! Alright, then you can get back to your business, I’ll leave first.” Feeling that there was nothing more to ask, Fang Hao stood up to say goodbye.

“Take care, I’ll treat you to a few drinks when I’m better.”

“No problem.” Fang Hao left the room and closed the door behind him.

Watching Fang Hao leave, Browning was still muttering to himself, “Who was that, why don’t I remember him?”

Leaving the temple.

Fang Hao, with Anjia, took a carriage directly to the mission hall to the east of the city.

The place was busier than the last time they came.

Weapon shops, armor shops, and even pubs had been set up on both sides of the main road.

For high-stress professions, pubs and some scantily clad girls always helped mercenaries unwind.

Once inside the hall, they approached the counter.

“Mr. Fang Hao, you’re back again.” On the other side of the counter was the young soldier who had attended to him last time.

Seems like they also have permanent shifts here, he met the same person twice. “Yes, the mission from last time has been completed. I came to confirm and see if there are any new missions.” Fang Hao replied.

“Oh, okay, Mr. Fang Hao, what’s the name of your mercenary group? I’ll check it for you.”

“The Bone Knight Group.”

“Oh, one moment.”

The young soldier said, flipping through the record in his hands, looking for the name of the Bone Knight Group.

Second floor.

In a room above the hall.

Rebecca, wearing a light blue long dress, was leaning on a couch, flipping through the information in her hands.

In front of her, the respectful Chief of Guards explained softly, “Madam, these are all the registered and competent mercenary groups. The first two, Dragon Scale Mercenary Group and Blood Crow Mercenary Group, have been famous for a while. It’s rumored that the leaders of the two groups have already advanced to hero ranks.”

Rebecca silently flipped through the information and then closed it. “Okay, I’ll think about it.”

The Chief of Guards nodded and immediately exited the room.

After a while, Rebecca sighed, got up, and walked to the window, looking at the first floor hall.
