The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 359 Shen Le: Will there be a vampire girl coming to see me?
I go!

The door is blocked?
Could it be someone from the local Special Affairs Bureau, or a similar organization?
Coming so quickly?
Shen Le and Lao You looked at each other, rushed over quickly, rolled up the scroll gently and quickly, and stuffed it into the painting tube.

Lao You flapped his wings and quickly turned into a peregrine falcon. He looked around and flew to the cabinet next to him and stood still. A gray light flashed by, and the whole bird became stiff, pretending to be a decoration in the room...

The room fell silent. Shen Le quickly looked around to make sure there were no flaws before he hurried to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he was stunned for a moment:
No, what happened?
The person knocking on the door wasn't a hotel staff member, a burly policeman in action uniform or anything like that, or even anyone who looked like they could fight.

On the contrary, the man standing at the door was smiling, plump, and wearing a black robe that reached his ankles.

In addition to the palm-sized cross on the chest, there is a white square in the middle of the collar, which is dazzlingly white among the black collar...

Is he a priest... or a pastor? France is supposed to be a Catholic territory. What do Catholics call their clergy?

Shen Le quickly searched the "History of Religion" he had memorized and confirmed that it should be called Father.

The other party smiled and stretched out his hand to him:
"Ni Hao~~~"

"Hello, hello, nice to meet you." Shen Le quickly extended his hand back to shake hands. While shaking hands, he was embarrassed:
I don't understand French either! How about your English, Father? Can you understand it? Is it impolite to use English? Or should I take out the translator?

He was still struggling, but the other party no longer embarrassed him and took out his phone with a smile. He tapped a few words and spoke a long string of words in French. Immediately, fluent Chinese came out of the phone:

"Hello, Mr. Shen. I am Father Michel de Campbell of the Archdiocese of Paris. It is a pleasure to meet you. On behalf of the diocese, I welcome you and hope you enjoy your visit to our country."

德！
De Campbell!

Campbell seems to be the surname of a great French nobleman. With the middle name "De" in front of it, there is no doubt that he is of noble origin.

Regardless of his abilities, this priest probably has a very strong background?

He had a warm smile on his face, and with a breath, his spiritual vision was instantly opened.

In another perspective, the cross on the priest's chest, the robe on his body, the handbag at his feet, and the rosary previously hidden in his cuffs all sparkled with aura.

Of course, the one with the most spiritual aura is the priest himself.

Just standing there, the spiritual aura he exuded was stronger than that of Xiaoyu, Xiaozi and the others.

In terms of cultivation, it is estimated that they are about the same as the leaders sent by various sects to take charge of the secret realm that Shen Le saw in the scroll...

So, this priest came here on behalf of the local Special Affairs Bureau?

Or maybe there is no special affairs bureau in the local area, and the church is acting on its behalf?

Actually, it makes sense if you think about it. If there is any organization here that possesses extraordinary powers, the most likely one is the church...

Shen Le's brain raced seven or eight times before he finally figured out the relationship between the priest, the parish and the welcoming party.

He turned around and led the priest inside, inviting him to come in and sit down. The priest bent down, picked up his handbag, and walked forward slowly. When he passed by the Buddha statue, he took a step closer, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey! Don't!!!"

A circle of silver light rose up quietly, appearing and disappearing. Shen Le broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stretched out his hand to block the silver light.

The priest took a half step back without leaving a trace, and his feet almost went weak:
I go!

Power grid!

That's an electric grid!
That is the Lord’s power, the Lord’s authority to punish sinners!

Even half a step away, he felt a shudder of fear. If he took another step forward, he would be electrocuted to death.

The most terrifying thing was that when Mr. Shen stretched out his hand, the silver light net gently dented inwards, avoiding his palm...

What a terrible power this is!

Moreover, I couldn't sense any "strength" in Mr. Shen...

Shen Le noticed the change in his expression, but pretended not to notice it. He invited the priest to take a seat and quickly opened the translation software:
"Hello, Father. I am entering this country as a private person. First, I am here to have fun, and second, I have some personal matters to attend to.

I have no intention of violating local laws, nor do I intend to use my extraordinary powers to do anything harmful to the organization or myself, please rest assured!"

"Oh, of course, of course." The priest smiled so happily that all the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out.

He opened his bag and took out an invitation:
"We have learned that you are a graduate of the Cultural Relics Restoration major of University B, with a focus on ancient building restoration? The cultural relics restorers from your country have given us a lot of help in the restoration of Notre Dame—"

Shen Le knew about this news. In fact, he was very sorry that he was not selected to go to France. But there was nothing he could do. This project was done by the team of the Terracotta Warriors and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and it was not the turn of the teachers and students of their school to intervene.

That group of experts even jointly conducted research on the protection, restoration and value recognition of the remains (charcoal) of the burned wood at Notre Dame de Paris and the burned wood at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor...

It's a pity that the ruins of Afang Palace have not been preserved to this day. Otherwise, Afang Palace would be facing Notre Dame de Paris, with fire burning wood and piles of fire burning wood. That would be like gong against gong, drum against drum!

Hearing this, Shen Le's eyes immediately lit up. Father Campbell saw that this point was effective, and his smile became more cordial:

"The restoration work has been completed recently. We are doing the final decoration and plan to hold the altar consecration ceremony and the first mass after the reopening in December. Mr. Shen..."

Shen Le shook his head regretfully before he could finish speaking.

The Schengen visa is only valid for 28 days, so he cannot stay that long. Moreover, he does not think it is necessary to travel all the way to Paris for the reopening of mass at Notre Dame de Paris - he is not a Christian.

Father Campbell was obviously well prepared, and said leisurely:
"Notre Dame is not open to the public yet, but to thank the Chinese team for their help, if Mr. Shen wants to visit, we welcome him.

Even if you want to see the entire restoration process, including the various problems encountered during the restoration, as long as you make an appointment in advance, we can find someone to explain it to you. "

Shen Le only listened halfway before his body began to lean forward, and he wanted to move forward with the sofa.

As a graduate student in ancient building restoration, he had no way of refusing such an invitation! Even if he spent all his time at Notre Dame de Paris, it was worth it for him to come out this time!

He almost couldn't wait to ask:
"When can I visit? How many days can I go?"

"If you are interested, you can go now." Father Campbell smiled and his wrinkles smoothed out.

That's great. When they discovered the abnormal fluctuation of spiritual power and contacted the Chinese Special Affairs Bureau, they were still worried that the person who came was a guy who had not reported the matter, had entered the country without permission, had malicious intentions and was very good at fighting.

Although they had received information from the Special Affairs Bureau that this person was a cultural relic restorer and had been very law-abiding in his past behavior, they still did not dare to take it lightly and quickly sent someone to check -

It would be great if we could trick him into staying in Notre Dame to visit the cathedral during his entire stay and not have any other thoughts!
At the very least, if he goes somewhere else, it would be great if the church could send someone to follow him, accompany him closely, and keep a close eye on him.

Who knows if the Chinese, even the most law-abiding ones, will want to “invite” a few cultural relics from the Louvre back home after they come here…

Shen Le pondered for a moment, and between "getting rid of the Special Affairs Bureau personnel and doing his own work" and "simply asking them to help", he decisively chose the latter.

He leaned back calmly and pointed at the Buddha statue beside him:

"To be honest, I came here this time to find the head of the Buddha statue that I am restoring. We have some clues, but we need to investigate further."

Father Campbell's face suddenly became serious. It was bad. What you feared would come true. It was basically inevitable for cultural relic restorers to search for their own cultural relics and cultural relic components.

It’s okay to search, but you must not use violence!

"Well, how can we help you?"

He asked this question sincerely. Shen Le pondered for a moment:
"As far as I know, this Buddha head is probably in a private museum. It would be great if the church could help me contact the owner of the Buddha head and buy it.

Well, I am willing to pay, and I am also willing to provide some help in exchange, such as helping to repair cultural relics, or, some help with special abilities..."

Father Campbell breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of the other party asking for something, but was afraid that the other party would say nothing and go his own way, doing whatever he wanted.

He pointed at himself with great confidence:
"Don't worry. As long as they are believers, we can go to their homes to persuade them, and most of the time we can get a good result. Even if they are not believers, we can at least make some connections.

By the way, Mr. Shen, do you have any plans to visit the Louvre?"

Shen Le knew what the other party was worried about. Without the other party probing, he simply gave him a way out generously:

"Yes! Can you recommend a tour guide?"

"It's easy! Leave it to us!" Father Campbell's expression became more relaxed. He exchanged contact information with Shen Le and agreed to call him immediately after finding a tour guide. Then he stood up and said goodbye.

He stood up from the sofa, his eyes lingered on the Buddha statue, the painting tube, and the backpack containing the small oil lamp, then he looked up at the peregrine falcon, saying meaningfully:

"Mr. Shen, if you have any friends who want to apply for temporary certificates, you can also go through us.

By the way, some strange people may come to see you later, please be alert and try not to talk to them to avoid any unpleasant things happening..."

Shen Le: ???
So will any vampire girls come to me?
