Barry looked at the two people staring at him and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Before, when we were in the City Lord's Mansion, Master Gray said he wanted to pursue Sister Edith and asked me to send flowers to her every day! But Brother Gray has only been gone for a month, and Sister Edith is going to marry someone else. Master Gray is definitely going to snatch the bride away!"

As he spoke he smiled excitedly.

The kid must have heard too many stories about bride robbery, but, "Who is Sister Edith you're talking about?" Phil Gray asked.

"She is the daughter of the lord of our Kao City." The old woman explained.

"Is this Master Gray a member of the Gray family?" Phil Gray asked again.

Barry scratched his head. "He is the only one who doesn't want Barry to call him brother. Barry doesn't like him very much. He said he is the son of the patriarch of the Grey family and asked me to call him Master."

Phil Gray's eyes lit up. Since he dared to pursue the city lord's daughter, this guy must not be a fake.

"Barry, you know so many people!"

"Yes, Barry has a lot of good friends. Barry loves making friends the most. In addition to Sister Edith, Barry has many friends in the City Lord's Mansion, such as..." The old woman pulled Barry to stop him from chattering.

If what Barry said was correct, then it was possible that Master Grey would really come to attend the wedding in three days.

"But how can I enter the City Lord's Mansion on that day?"

Phil Gray rubbed his temples, thinking hard.

However, this only thing that troubled him was also solved.

After discussing how to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion, Barry said that because of the preparations for the wedding, the City Lord's Mansion was short of staff, so the City Lord wanted to recruit temporary workers in the next few days.

If he wants to go to the City Lord's Mansion, he can take this opportunity.

"Great!" Phil Gray couldn't help but want to clap his hands like Barry, but he restrained his impulse.

There was someone present who knew his identity as the Pope, so he had to maintain etiquette.

Phil Gray coughed and said, "Then I'll try to apply for the job."

"You can go find the family at the back of the alley first. His daughter works in the City Lord's Mansion and seems to be a supervisor. You can go and ask him first. If he asks about your identity, just say that you are a distant relative of my family." The old woman suggested.

"Let Barry take you there. He knows the man."

"Great, great, I'm going to bring new friends to meet old friends!" Barry cheered.

After walking for a while, we arrived at the place we mentioned.

The family's house was larger and neater than others on the street.

Barry knocked on the door, "Barry is here, Sister Lisa, open the door!"

After a while, a woman opened the door and walked out. She looked short and had a graceful figure, with wavy hair tied with a red ribbon.

"Barry, what brings you here?"

Then, she widened her eyes and stared at Phil Gray, "So handsome!"

"Hello, my name is Lisa, are you Barry's friend?"

"Yes, I heard that the City Lord's Mansion is recruiting temporary workers, and I want to give it a try." Phil Gray smiled.

In Lisa's eyes, the person in front of her seemed to be glowing.

"Okay, okay, I'm the deputy kitchen manager. I'll recommend you to help in the kitchen when the time comes." Lisa thought for a moment and replied.

"Come in, come in and talk."

With that, Lisa invited them into the house.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Phil Gray thanked.

"Barry, how do you know such a handsome brother?" Lisa poured them both a glass of water.

"I…"

Before he could answer, Phil Gray rushed in and said, "I'm his distant cousin. I just came from out of town."

"Oh, but I think your appearance and temperament are like those of an aristocrat." Lisa exclaimed.

"No, my family is very poor, so I came to you, hoping to go to the City Lord's Mansion to earn some money and change my family's situation." Phil Gray explained, and he smiled again at the woman in front of him.

"Yes, we can change our destiny by ourselves. Don't believe what the Vatican says about destiny being predetermined. As long as you work hard, one day you will be able to enjoy the same life as those noble lords!" Lisa encouraged.

This guy doesn't seem to have a very good impression of the Vatican.

"Yeah, I also believe that destiny is determined by ourselves, not by gods. Only cowards would blame everything on God's arrangements." Phil Gray said lightly.

Lisa's eyes widened. "Well said! I actually think you have the potential to become... you know."

She omitted a few words.

Phil Gray wondered, what was she trying to say?

"If you are interested, go to the red gate in the middle of the first alley early this morning, knock three times, pause for a while, and then knock twice. I will recommend you then." Lisa leaned over to Phil Gray's ear and whispered.

"What are you talking about? Is there anything that Barry can't hear?" Barry asked somewhat aggrievedly.

"It's nothing, Barry, I'll get some food and you can take it back to your mother." Lisa waved her hand and ran to get the food.

what?

Phil Gray hasn't reacted yet. What Lisa just said, does it mean that recommending him to go to the City Lord's Mansion in the middle of the night?

Or to be something else?

He was a little curious.

After Lisa took out the food, they left.

Soon it was night, Phil Gray took a nap, and in the early hours of the morning, he tiptoed out of the house.

There is still no moon tonight, and it is pitch black.

Phil Gray took the lamp given by Barry and walked to the place Lisa had told him during the day and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a moment, he heard a low voice coming from inside.

"Please come in!"

The door was not locked, so he pushed it open and walked in.

In front of me was a white-haired old man, who whispered, "Follow me."

He followed the old man to a tree in the yard and saw the old man lift up the wooden board under the tree, revealing a passage inside.

"go in."

Phil Gray went down, but the old man did not follow.

He could only walk inside with the lamp in hand.

Soon, he reached the end, which was bright because there were about a dozen people who were also holding lights.

Are these all here to apply for temporary jobs at the City Lord’s Mansion?

Phil Gray's mouth twitched.

"Handsome guy, come here!"

Phil Gray was in a daze when he saw Lisa waving at him.

He greeted her with a smile.

"As expected, you are here. I will introduce you to the leader after the opening is over!"

"it is good."

Phil Gray nodded. He also realized that something was wrong. This was definitely not a temporary worker recruitment. It was probably a gathering of some mysterious organization.

He looked at the people around him. They all seemed to be ordinary people, talking in low voices in twos and threes. Some of them even glanced at him casually.

It didn't take long before a middle-aged woman came down the passage. She looked very kind and had her face covered with gauze.

As she walked she called out:

"Are you all here? The God of Fate has already abandoned us. We must control our own destiny! The Church calls us apostates, but we laugh at them and call them puppets manipulated by the damned fate! We are cowards!"

The entire passage was instantly filled with voices, and everyone was shouting, "Control your own destiny!"

"Get rid of the manipulation of fate!"

Lisa shouted too.

Phil Graydon's smile froze in an instant.
