He took the script of an exorcism legend, but became the number one anti-fraud expert.

Father Robin's eyes widened, and he made a gurgling sound.

He swallowed hard, staring at Benjamin in disbelief.

Benjamin, seizing the opportunity, continued, "So! You tell me, was it wrong of me to bring them back? Was it a desecration of your relatives, your friends, your old neighbors?"

"..."

An elderly woman, wearing a headscarf, stepped forward. He looked closer and...

Upon seeing the head of a ghoul, she immediately covered her eyes with her hands and began to sob.

"Yes, it's my child, I won't mistake him, sob sob..."

"Make way, let me see!" A burly man stepped forward. "My God, it really is my brother! I thought he ran away, but it turns out he went to find food? I... how could I have thought so badly of him?!"

"Father..." The little boy reached out and touched his father's head.

However, a woman nearby quickly stepped forward to stop her: "No, don't touch it! The evil spirit is poisonous; you might get infected!"

Upon hearing this, Benjamin immediately knelt down and said to the little boy, "Child, don't be afraid. He is your father, not an evil spirit." Then he looked at the boy's mother beside him and said, "Don't worry, their bodies have been purified with holy water. There is no possibility of infection."

Benjamin demonstrated by running his hand across the ghoul's cheek to show that there would be no surprises.

however,

Suddenly a figure darted out from the crowd.

"Wait!" Father Robin rushed out of the crowd and stood at the front. "Lieutenant Hord, I remember you bought your holy water from here last time, right? So you successfully purified the ghoul using the monastery's holy water, didn't you?"

Father Robin turned to face the townspeople: "Look everyone, even the guards fighting evil spirits use our holy water, so the rumors that our holy water is fake are completely unfounded!"

"....."

Everyone was still grieving the loss of loved ones, and when they heard Father Robin's words, no one responded.

Some people even looked at him with fierce expressions.

Everyone knows this guy loves to cheat. Ever since the price of holy water went up, people have been complaining that it's not as pure as it used to be.

Until someone discovered that the holy water didn't seem to be real.

However, no one in town can truly distinguish between real and fake holy water, and some people will still buy it when they really need it.

However, this is really not the right occasion to discuss the authenticity of the holy water...

"Hmph, Father Robin, did I say I used holy water from the monastery?"

"Um?"

Father Robin turned around stiffly. "Don't joke around, Lieutenant. In this town, besides the monastery, who else has real holy water?"

Benjamin looked at the priest coldly. "That's right. There's no real holy water left in town, and no one would bother to transport it to Windhowl Town, which is full of evil spirits. So, the holy water you're selling is fake."

These words elicited gasps of surprise from the crowd.

The woman immediately pulled the child back into the crowd, away from the ghoul's head.

She looked at Benjamin in bewilderment, not understanding why he would let his child risk touching the evil spirits tainted by fake holy water, and even less understanding why he dared to touch it with his own hands.

"Don't talk nonsense! Isn't your holy water from our monastery? You're not a clergyman, where would you get holy water?!"

Benjamin snorted coldly, then gave the soldiers a meaningful look.

Art handed half a bottle of holy water to Benjamin.

*Thump!*

The moment the cork popped open, even though it was only half full, the scent of holy water remained undiminished, instantly filling the air and quickly spreading to the crowd.

Almost everyone's expression suddenly froze, and their eyes became clear.

It felt as if I was wandering in a tranquil and beautiful place.

When they came to their senses, exclamations arose from the crowd:

"That's right! This is the taste of holy water!"

"I've been to monasteries in city-states before, and this is exactly the same smell—the whole monastery smells like this!"

"Damn Robin! You're not a priest at all!"

Father Robin panicked; even he couldn't resist leaning closer to take another sniff.

Benjamin sneered, thinking that Robin, who had been selling fake holy water for so long, must have almost forgotten what holy water actually smelled like.

Before Robin could continue speaking,

Benjamin sprinkled holy water along the heads on the ground.

In an instant, the rich, pure aroma of holy water wafted over.

The head on the ground was purified again. I don't know if it was an illusion, but it even felt like the head's face had returned to its human form.

The effect left everyone speechless, while Robin staggered to the side.

He looked pleadingly at his accomplices in the crowd, but the thugs didn't dare to approach him.

They gave Robin a helpless look, then glanced at the soldiers surrounding the crowd.

The soldiers were staring menacingly at the thugs, making one involuntarily swallow hard.

Benjamin handed the bottle of holy water to the little boy: "Son, drink it. This is real holy water; even a few drops are more effective than those fake ones!"

Without a second thought, the boy immediately picked up the bottle and put it in his mouth, even licking the rim of the bottle with his tongue.

After finishing his drink, his eyes sharpened, and he pointed at Robin, saying:

"You big liar!"

"FUCK!!"

Robin cursed under his breath, and seeing the townspeople's malicious eyes, he declared, "Fine! You believe him, right? In that case, don't come to our monastery for help if you encounter evil spirits again!"

After saying that, Robin turned to leave.

"Robin, did I say you could leave?"

After Benjamin finished speaking, Pete, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward and kicked Robin in the knee.

Robin, wincing in pain, knelt on the ground. "What do you think you're doing? Don't forget, I'm a priest. The abbot of the monastery is back. Do you know what happens when the guards attack a priest?"

"No, I haven't forgotten. However, if I remember correctly, monasteries are subordinate to the Pope, and the Hamlet Federation stipulates that no clergy can preach the gospel for profit."

If the Pope knew that you were selling holy water during this period of information blockage caused by the severe cold wave, and even raising the price to £5 a bottle, I believe that would be considered dereliction of duty, wouldn't it?

Robin's pupils widened, and she quickly lowered her head.

"And what's more, you're selling fake holy water, Robin. Forget the city center, even the abbot of the monastery in Windhowl Town would dismiss you and give you a severe sentence, wouldn't that be fair?"

"No, that's not right. I'm creating the gospel for the people, and you know that's not easy..."

Benjamin interrupted the flustered Robin: "Alright, enough nonsense, Pete, drag him to the barracks and teach him a lesson."

"Yes, Lieutenant."

Pete slapped Robin, then kicked her in the stomach.

Robin panicked and kept groaning.

In a daze, he covered his head with his hand.

The townspeople watched all this and cheered; no one stood up to speak for Robin.

Before this, they were wary of Robin, after all, he had holy water, but since even the holy water was fake, there was nothing more to say.

Pete muttered menacingly, "Don't force me to break your legs, get inside yourself!"

Seeing Pete's gritted teeth, Robin didn't dare to resist. He understood that Pete had disliked him for a long time.

However, when Avery was in charge, as a lieutenant, he wouldn't make things too ugly. But he never expected that Benjamin would actually dare to lay a hand on him, a priest.

At this moment, Robin looked up again at Avery, who was standing at the entrance of the barracks, her eyes full of pleading.

Avery, who hadn't participated at all, looked helpless and resentful.

Ever since he caused trouble at the monastery last time, the two sides have kept to themselves. As a lieutenant, he certainly cannot act rashly.

But today it's obvious that Robin deliberately instigated the townspeople to cause trouble; this is clearly revenge!

Fortunately, Benjamin eventually resolved the matter; otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to explain it.

Avery silently watched Benjamin's retreating figure, his previous desire to take charge of the household gone.

So he stepped aside in front of the door, nodded to Pete, and gestured for him to be dragged inside!

Now that the lieutenant and second lieutenant have spoken, there's nothing more to worry about.

Pete was very rough; if Robin was slow, she would get a beating. Robin, in pain, quickly covered her head and ran into the barracks.
