Chapter 537: Apply for a Job
Kodera Makiko: "So...we are going to that underground fighting arena and ambush?"
Qianqiu: "I definitely can't let this opportunity go. Besides, I am the only one who can do this."
Kodera: "No, no problem? Do you really don't need to find more helpers?"
"Idiot, the more people there are when infiltrating, the easier it is to fail."
Chiaki patted Kodera on the head with her tentacles, as if to pat her even more stupidly.
"But it is indeed a bit troublesome for me to go by myself. Many people know that I am Lady Yulia's maid, so I can be easily recognized. If you are not wanted, then it would be best to leave this job to you. Even..."
Kodera: "...?"
Qianqiu: "You can even sneak in as an employee."
Kodera: "Oh..."
Kodera: "...Huh? That's not right! I applied on the same day, is it too late?"
Qianqiu: "It's probably not enough for ordinary positions. But the job you are engaged in is very special, so you can definitely do it."
Qianqiu: "Then it's to be a sparring partner."
Qianqiu: "There is always a shortage of people for this position, you know. If you go, you will definitely be very popular."
Kodera: "I don't understand!"
Kodera: "It seems like you actually want me to be responsible for getting beaten, right?"
Qianqiu: "Look, isn't this very understandable?"
Qianqiu: "Because they can't die, we can let them practice some more dangerous moves."
Qianqiu: "For example, how to turn the enemy's face to the rear in one second."
Kodera: "That one seems more dangerous!"
Kodera: "People will die!"
Kodera: "...Huh? Wait, is that fighting arena a place like this?"
Kodera: "No way... you won't get killed even if you punch me, right?"
Qianqiu: "According to the news I heard, it is indeed not the case. But accidental death in the boxing ring does happen occasionally."
Qianqiu: "Anyway...that's the plan for tonight. I'm going to sneak in and see if I can overhear anything. Since the Archbishop has colluded with gangs, he will probably also be in the VIP room there with these people. chat."
Qianqiu: "...Maybe we will even talk about why you are wanted."
Hearing this, Kodera swallowed nervously.
She had been waiting for this answer for a long time.
But Kodera remains pessimistic about this action.
First of all, she felt that the archbishop was seen by Yulia at the slaughterhouse today, and she was not dead, so this guy might not go to the underground fighting arena to gamble out of uneasiness.
But Qianqiu felt that the Archbishop would come.
Because, although there was no evidence, she just felt that the archbishop would not gamble legitimately.
There must be some behind-the-scenes operation, knowing in advance which person would win, and then putting money on that guy.
This was probably a bribe from the fighting arena for his status.
The reason for not giving him the money directly was naturally because he wanted the archbishop to appear to be just a "lucky gambler" instead of a big villain who often collected their dirty money.
In short, the Archbishop must have spent a lot of money.
To make such an unfair gamble, arrangements must be made in advance. And you can’t always do this to avoid being suspected or recognized by outsiders. And having said that, Yulia poses no real threat to him.
Even if she wasn't seriously injured, there was nothing she could do on her own. It's just an ordinary temple knight. How many people can believe what he says?
If the archbishop is so corrupt, then in Dora's opinion, the upper echelons of the church are already rotten.
Maybe everyone is an accomplice of the archbishop.
...with the exception of the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition.
Although that man had extreme thoughts and was an out-and-out fanatic, he could not tolerate sand in his eyes.
His life is simple, and his aura has nothing to do with taking bribes. If the Grand Inquisitor believed what Yulia said, he would definitely not tolerate the Archbishop.
Due to the relatively independent status of the Inquisition, let alone the Archbishop, even the King of France has nothing to offend as long as the Grand Inquisitor feels that he is blaspheming the doctrine.
Only with sufficient force and a group of loyal subordinates can he dare to be so fearless.
It was rare for Dora to feel that the Inquisition had become so trustworthy.
But she still didn't want to involve the Inquisition.
Because if they get involved, they will be in big trouble.
If these guys find out that Kodera has been hidden by Yulia, or think that Yulia is slandering the archbishop and being an apostate, then I really don’t know what they will do.
The Inquisition generally did not stop with just excommunicating people.
The solutions they choose are often radical, accompanied by violence and suspicion.
Dora would rather have her breasts become like Kodera's than involve the Inquisition.
Taking the initiative to ask them for help is too risky.
Although the master is from the church and she is also a maid sent by the church to take care of Yulia, Dora has no loyalty to the church.
Although it won't show on her face, the new master is actually a temple knight. She was a little reluctant at first - but as time passed, she gradually found that the master was very cute and had a very baka side in some aspects. Slowly let go of my heart.
Generally speaking, you have to wait until you officially become a Temple Knight before you can have servants sent by the church to serve you.
But when Yulia was still a trainee temple knight, Dora was already by her side.
This is partly because Yulia is very talented.
On the one hand, it is also because she has no relatives.
Her parents had made a lot of contributions to the church during their lifetime, so the church sent a powerful servant to the minor Yulia who could take good care of her like her mother.
Kodera and Dora left the bedroom and drank tea in the living room, discussing what to do next.
Dora believes that Yulia should take leave recently to recuperate. She will help explain it to the Knights.
Kodera Makiko agreed - she said that she would hide in the house and be silent when the time came.
I just hope I'm not unlucky enough to be accidentally exposed.
But the biggest problem at the moment is how to explain to the group leader how Yulia was injured like this.
The two of them had different opinions on this, but in short they could reach a consensus that they could not mention the meeting with the Archbishop.
Dora felt that she had to tell her master repeatedly to make sure she really understood.
Although the owner is not stupid, he is still too immature. It would be bad if you tell the truth.
After discussing for a while, Dora temporarily left the small living room on the second floor, came to the door, and replaced the lock cylinder with a new one.
When she returns to Kodera, she brings some rather unnerving news: someone is watching the house.
"Eh?! Is it really there?!" Kodera Makiko was so nervous that she couldn't speak coherently: "What, what should we do? Will they put patch explosives on the door, then bang it, and suddenly rush in like a blitzkrieg in Poland and kill us? Thug, tug, tug, tug, tug!”
