Chapter 110 Father Pete (4)
"Oh, OK." Elizabeth agreed and sat at the dining table to start her own lunch, but she obviously didn't focus on her meal. After eating a few simple slices of vegetables, she put down her fork.
"What's wrong, you have a bad appetite?" Danica was full of interest in food. For her, seeing Elizabeth's frowning face was the best appetizer. You deserve it!
"Nothing." Elizabeth pushed the plate aside and asked casually, "Danica, what if he wanted to persuade others to accept a treatment he didn't want?"
Danica stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, chewed it down, and said, "Elizabeth, human desires are endless. It is impossible to completely satisfy a person's desires. Even the gods cannot do this. Faced with this situation, all we need to do is to give them the hardships, so that they will understand the difficulties of the world and our painstaking efforts."
Elizabeth thought for a while and murmured: "This... shouldn't be good!"
Although Elizabeth's voice was very small, Danica still heard it. She said in a very seductive tone: "But if you don't do this, how can you solve the dilemma in front of you?"
Danica's words made Elizabeth alert, and she asked, "Do you already know?" Elizabeth didn't say it thoroughly, but she was referring to the fact that Father Pitt distributed sufficient food to the victims.
Danica was stunned for a moment and said, "What do I know?"
Danica's acting skills are impeccable, but for Elizabeth, who is sensitive by nature, this sentence can no longer dispel her suspicion. She said firmly: "You should already know."
The two sides were stalemate for a while, and finally Danica regressed. She put down the knife and fork and said with a smile: "I know what, so what if I don't know?"
Elizabeth didn't know how to answer. Danica had a special relationship with her. Both parties were not subordinate. Even if she knew it and deliberately concealed it and did not report it, Elizabeth had no choice.
Seeing Elizabeth looking a little angry but helpless, Danica said, "Don't be angry. I do know what you said, but I know what it is. If there is no solution, it will only add to the trouble." As she said that, she also showed a confident smile.
Elizabeth asked hesitantly: "Have you thought of a solution now?"
Danica took a sip of the wine that was served with the meal and said, "It's not a good idea, but it's still a way, it just depends on whether you have the courage."
Elizabeth said, "What are you going to do?"
Danica smiled and said, "Don't ask about the specific situation. In short, I will deal with this matter for you, don't worry!"
Elizabeth looked at Danica, shook her head and said, "I can't feel at ease with you!"
Danica did not continue talking about this, but instead changed the topic and said, "The weather is good today, I'm going out for a walk." As she said that, she stood up and walked straight outside the tent.
Danica kept wandering around the town all afternoon. Elizabeth initially planned to follow her to see what the guy was going to do, but as the Holy Maiden of Light, she couldn't just wander around the disaster area as leisurely as Danica, and wander around casually. That would have a bad impact. In short, seeing Danica was nearby, Elizabeth didn't care about her anymore.
When she was having supper in the evening, Danica didn't say what she did in the afternoon. Elizabeth asked her, but she didn't say it, and she looked very mysterious. Her pretended appearance made Elizabeth very angry, and in the end she was too lazy to pay attention to Danica.
After dinner, Elizabeth was sorting out the information about the disaster area she had collected, while Danica hid in her small compartment for routine meditation. At around 10 o'clock, the two of them said good night to each other and went to rest.
At two or three o'clock in the evening, just when a person was sleeping the most, suddenly a noise came out outside. As a professional, Elizabeth had a very sensitive perception of the outside world. She woke up immediately, covered her cloak outside her pajamas, walked out of the small compartment used as a bedroom, called a servant who had been serving them, and asked, "What's wrong with it outside?"
The servant was a young nun who had just joined the Holy See of Light. He was less than 20 years old and had never experienced anything. After being called over, he was stunned and seemed to be frightened. Elizabeth asked again before she woke up. She said in a panic: "I don't know either, I only heard outside shouting that there was a fire!"
The fire broke out? Elizabeth's brows were tightly locked, and she waved her hand to make the servant helpless and confused.
She went out to take a look first, and first made sure that the tent where the victims gathered to live did not catch fire, so she let down half of her heart. Now the tents where the victims live are made of canvas, and some furniture and other flammable materials are also combustible. The tents are very densely built. If there is a fire there, it will be bad. When the wind blows, it will definitely be connected, burned to death, choked to death, and if it is trampled to death, I don’t know how many people will die.
After letting go, Elizabeth looked around and found that the fire was in the northeast corner of the ruins of the town. From a distance, the fire did not seem to be very big. Many pastors, clergy and victims had gathered there to start extinguishing the fire. The fire did not continue to develop and should have been under control.
Seeing that there was no big problem, Elizabeth retreated. Although the fire was not very big, such a thing happened, so she would not have to rest tonight. She returned to her bedroom, changed her clothes, and when she came out again, the fire was obviously smaller.
At this time, a pastor saw Elizabeth coming out, walked over, saluted and said, "His Majesty."
Elizabeth nodded and asked, "How is the fire?"
The pastor said, "The fire has been controlled, and I believe it will be destroyed soon." The pastor did not come here in person. He came from Ernst City and his status is quite respectful. He didn't need to do it himself to lift water to put out fires. Like Elizabeth, he just watched from a distance.
Elizabeth said: "That's good, count the losses as soon as possible, and pay special attention to whether there are casualties."
The pastor lowered his head and said, "Yes."
At this moment, a clergyman with ash-faced face and looked quite embarrassed, ran over and whispered a few words to the pastor. The pastor's face changed drastically and said in disbelief: "How could this happen? Call Father Pitt here!" Father Pitt is the head of the Holy See of Light in Cass Town. These clergymen from Ernst City are just here to help, so the previous disaster relief work was mainly in charge of Father Pitt. Of course, he is responsible for such a bad thing.
Seeing the pastor's face turned ugly, Elizabeth asked, "What's wrong, what's going on?"
The priest said with a stiff face: "His Majesty, the fire is the granary, which stores all the food in the disaster area."
