Chapter 788: 148. Hunting the Giant Dragon (6k)âDong~ Dong~ Dong~â
The broken church bells drove time to rewind bit by bit. In Fisherâs erstwhile dream, in scenes unaltered by Erwin and Valentina, a nun dressed in black dragged the sulking Little Fisher all the way to the gate of the Church School, only pulling him in front of her when no other children were in sight.
âFisher Benavides, youâve gotten into trouble again, havenât you!â
Little Fisher turned his head away to look in another direction, his stubborn silence somewhat infuriating Sister Theresa, but instead of scolding him further, she gently reached out to turn his face towards her and asked,
âTell me, what exactly happened just now that made Father Kara from the Great Cathedral collapse to the ground?â
Little Fisher looked at Sister Theresa, gently pushed her hand away, then sat down beside her and said,
âThat guy is a pervert, always hugging Liel and trying to reach inside his clothes. I caught him. I saw a ring on his ring finger and dog hairs on his Church robe, so I guess he has a wife and kids at home. And he doesnât bear any Trace of having practiced magic, so he must be one of the Churchâs administrative staff. I threatened to tell his family and the Church authorities about his harassment of Liel unless he gave me and Liel a hundred thousand Narliou each, and thatâs when he passed out.â
Sister Theresa looked at Little Fisher, who was holding his chin and speaking, touched his head, and exclaimed,
âWell look at you, daring to extort our superior⌠So where is that hundred thousand Narliou now?â
âItâs all because of Father Laiman and you. If you hadnât come, I would have had the money by nowâŚâ
Little Fisher gave Sister Theresa a sidelong glance and then muttered under his breath, not too loudly for fear of being made to copy the meaningless Creation Scripture again.
Sister Theresa looked at Little Fisher, only six years old yet already inscrutable, sighed and said, Follow current nová´ls on novelFÉŞre.net
âSo what do you need so much money for? Two hundred thousand Narliou, thatâs the entire subsidy for our school for three years. You really are bold, little tykeâŚâ
âUm, I plan to first fix the damaged Bell Tower, then repair the school building, and save the rest of the money in a bank or invest it⌠Those bishops make a fortune off eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, not to mention the business-minded bosses and New Party members. And a lot of the funds allocated by the Golden Palace for the Schwali war ended up embezzledâŚâ
Fisher tapped his cheek, turned his head, and looked very seriously at Sister Theresa, saying,
âItâs better than you all naively holding services, witnessing weddings, and writing prayers. Thatâs exhausting and at most gets you a few Euro. You stay up late every night writing those prayers and preparing wedding testimonials. You guys are too naive; if it were that easy to get rich, the textile workers on Newt Street who only get one day off after working a week would have become millionaires by now.â
Sister Theresa rested her chin in her hands, looked at Little Fisher, who was analyzing things earnestly, and suddenly asked,
âIn reality⌠you look down on us, donât you, Fisher?â
Fisher, seeing the smile on Sister Theresaâs face, his previous excitement slightly receding, shook his head and said,
âI donât look down on you.â
âIs it just everyone else apart from me, then?â
âMaybe a little.â
âWow, you really dare to say it, you cheeky kid!â
âOuch, let go of me! Sister Theresa⌠mmph!â
Sister Theresa suddenly hugged Little Fisherâs head into her chest, then patted his forehead lightly.
Little Fisher thought he was in for a punishment again, but Sister Theresa didnât go on to smack him. Instead, she covered his eyes with her hand, gazed up at the Church School thrown into utmost chaos by the distress of a senior priest visited by a small boy, and quietly laughed, saying,
âIn your eyes, this world must seem very absurd, right? You hate the Church scriptures I tell you about the most, always secretly telling other kids that everything about the Church is a lie, isnât that so?â
Little Fisher pouted and said softly,
âAnyway, it wasnât my fault they didnât recite the scriptures. I did.â
âSo, thatâs why you look down on everyone else⌠because of their ignorance. Father Laiman manages the school but secretly indulges in drinking, the bishops appear holy but engage in vile deeds, even the apparently honest politicians are making a fortune. All this ignorance is what you despise, isnât it?â
Sister Theresa removed the hand covering Little Fisherâs eyes. She didnât look at him but gazed up at the sky,
âToday I wonât talk about the Mother Goddessâs stories. Letâs discuss the math book youâve been reading lately⌠Fisher, in your eyes, who counts as a good person?â
