The nun in black and white robe bowed slightly respectfully, then walked to Lu Yu's side and groped carefully from top to bottom. Sera did not urge him, but waited quietly.
Unlike the frail nuns in most literary works, the nuns who examined Lu Yu’s body along the way all had daggers on their waists. Because of Sera’s presence, Lu Yu had no scruples in asking if he could watch when he was being examined for the first time. each other's hands.
The nun smiled, and the stern-faced knights of the Theocracy's halberds behind her also laughed.
The young nun's hands were covered with calluses. She lifted up her skirt without hesitation, revealing her extremely muscular calves.
The closer they get to the Pope's Tower, the older and stronger the nuns who check Lu Yu become.
Lu Yu counted and found that he had been examined five times in total. The first nun was not as big as Sera and was very lively. She was very courageous. After the examination, she gently slid her fingers down Lu Yu's back. , looking at Lu Yu’s trembling appearance and laughing together with the knights of the Theocracy; the second and third nuns were close to middle age, rich in experience, and their physical strength was at its peak. Although they would also chat with Lu Yu, they made people feel Very dry; the fourth and fifth nuns have gray hair, dry folds of skin like tree bark, sunken eye sockets, and cloudy eyes. Their strength is far inferior to that of the second and third nuns. Their bodies seem to be unable to condense magic power, and their magic power fluctuates extremely strangely. , they no longer joke with Lu Yu blithely, teasing him for not being strong enough, their emotions seem to have disappeared from them, their eyes are cold and empty like sharp blades, their breaths are as slow as a dead person, only their clean and neat movements can make people... Feel like they are a living thing.
However, after hearing that Lu Yu was a glutton who came to perform "eating" for the Pope, the cloudy eyes of the two elderly nuns became a little brighter. They saluted Lu Yu solemnly and watched him walk through the dim corridor. , until the doors closed one after another, completely cutting off their sight.
There was no longer any inspection. Lu Yu and Sera walked along the path of a garden. The afterglow of the setting sun cast their shadows slantingly on the wall covered with green vines.
"How does it feel?" Sierra asked.
"Can those patrolling Theocracy knights check for me next time?"
Sera covered her mouth and snickered: "Why, are you still shy? Or do you prefer men? Oh, by the way, I heard from Lulu that your favorite type is a male elf. What's your name... Aesop?"
Lu Yu lowered his head, his brain twitched, and he stepped on Sera's shadow with all his strength. After doing this action, he felt like a little kid. The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he became, so he simply said nothing.
Sera thought Lu Yu was choking on her, so she smiled even more happily.
"The fourth and fifth nuns are very weak and very old. Why not replace them with younger ones?"
Serra said: "The first nun is in her youth, and her youthful impulses are astonishing. If they discover that the visitor here has malicious intentions, they can fight with the enemy to the greatest extent; the second and third nuns are almost middle-aged, They are at the peak but are about to go downhill, but they have rich experience and reliable combat power. If the enemy has broken through the First Sister and the Knights of the Theocracy, they have experience and strength and can analyze the situation and use different ideas to engage the enemy; the fourth and fifth places The nuns have passed their peak and are lifeless. They have nothing but faith. If the enemy has broken through the second and third nuns, they will form the fourth and fifth lines of defense to block the enemy with their bodies and give the Pope a chance to escape."
"This is the Corridor of Time. Intruders will fight against guards at different stages of life. This Corridor of Time is not only owned by the Church, but also by the three major countries, especially those who serve as the death warriors of the fourth and fifth nuns."
There was no one around, only the footsteps of Lu Yu and Sera echoed. The night had spread, and the stars were revealed in the dark sky.
Serra said: "The fourth and fifth nuns you just met have been determined to sleep with the Pope."
"Sacrificed for burial..." Lu Yu murmured, "Voluntarily?"
"What they put forward themselves was not only to reach the land of gods and continue to serve the Pope, but also to meet the God of Glory with the Pope. The Pope worked hard for the Theocracy all his life and had no heirs. There were many scandals when he was young, but at that time In order to prevent the Theocracy from falling into turmoil, he gave up love, so the girl who admired him came to the Theocracy and became a nun. With the help of the Inquisition, he learned martial arts and magic from scratch, and became a black-clothed nun. One of the nuns was sent to the Pope.”
"Are they those two just now?"
"Those two are the servants she rescued, and she is with the Pope now."
Next to the towering Papal Tower, the silver maple sacred tree was blown by the breeze, its branches and leaves trembled, and the silver-white maple leaves fluttered in the wind, and then fell lightly to the ground. This towering tree has been given a sacred color because of the legend of the God of Glory. Rumors spread among believers that the leaves of silver maple can cure all diseases. For this reason, there were desperate merchants selling fake leaves.
"On a charming moonlit night, the silver maple tree will emit a silvery white light under the moonlight. Maybe you will have a chance to see it tonight."
Saying that, Sera gently knocked on the door of the Papal Tower, and two young nuns in black opened the door and respectfully invited them in.
Climbing up the spiral staircase, Lu Yu and Sera suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
"Three two one, let's talk together?"
"three…"
"two…"
"one…"
"Twilight City." Lu Yu and Sera said in unison.
In order to create a separate reincarnation for the personality fragments of Clorons's beautiful memories, Clorons made Twilight City into a mirror structure, and also came up with a bunch of designs that made people lose the sense of space. The one that impressed Lu Yu the most None more so than the spiral staircase.
During the continuous spiral process, it is impossible to know which floor you have ascended. Without a reference object, it is easy to lose position information. This design was so torturous that after leaving Twilight City, Lu Yu immediately recalled everything that happened there as soon as he saw the spiral staircase.
Sera felt more and more that Lu Yu was similar to herself. They had many similarities in the logical sequence of thinking about things, the way they processed information, and their attitudes towards things.
Passing through the corridor filled with magical mechanisms, Sera gently turned the red carved wooden door handle at the end of the corridor.
In the spacious room, the pale Pope Laurent sat on the bed in the middle, putting down the scroll in his hand. The moment his eyes touched Serra, he became extremely soft, and a warm smile took over his face.
The nun in black beside Laurend quickly put down the gauze curtain that covered her face and retreated silently to the corner of the room.
"This is what I told you, Gluttonous Eater Lu Yu."
Lu Yu discovered that Serra did not use the honorific title for the Pope. Immediately afterwards, he felt like a courier boy reading out your order name in front of everyone. In order to deliver the goods, you are not allowed to face the eyes of others. …
Lu Yu stepped forward, thinking about what kind of etiquette he should use to meet this influential figure in Mela Continent.
"I have asked the people from the law enforcement office to temporarily retreat. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so reserved."
After saying that, Laurent turned his head and motioned to the nun in black with his eyes. Shortly after the nun in black left the room, the sound of a trolley was heard in the corridor.
The food configuration was similar to that of Zenil's banquet that night, all seafood. Knowing that Lu Yu had to prepare dipping sauces, the nun in black asked the chef to wait at the other end of the corridor with the seasonings.
"Your Excellency Lu Yu, I'm sorry that we met in this way. I know you will be troubled by my request. Sera also said that you are not as good at eating as rumored... However, when people get old, they are inevitably a little stubborn. Curious. What kind of heroic eating look does Serra have in his mouth? I wonder what kind of person the foreigner Serra brought back is..."
Laurend looked at Sera with a smile: "At the same time, I also want to meet people who are called friends by children like Sera."
Sera sighed and covered her face: "I knew it wasn't as simple as watching Lu Yu eat."
"You are too unsociable, this is not good."
"You don't have to be a gregarious person when you are chosen by God. Anyway, when the time comes, you will be replaced. It won't make any difference if I go back to being a saint."
The tone of this conversation was unabashed... Lu Yu didn't feel like the simple relationship between the chosen one and the pope, but like a sharp-tongued child and an old father.
The nun in black didn't say anything. She brought Laurend dinner - a small bowl of rice porridge that seemed to be cooked with medicinal herbs, some unnamed green leafy vegetables, and a small portion of minced meat.
Laurende saw Lu Yu still standing beside the cart full of food, and without saying a word after coming in, he smiled and asked the nun in black to serve Lu Yu.
Lu Yu repeatedly waved his hand to stop the nun in black who wanted to help him remove the shrimp flesh. When the limbs touched, Lu Yu was slightly startled by the cold touch.
He subconsciously raised his head and saw the dazzling golden light under the black veil.
The nun in black has vertical pupils!
This feeling cannot be...
The nun in black returned to Laurent as if nothing had happened, picked up the spoon, and gently put the rice porridge into his mouth. From time to time, she would twist the rice grains stuck to the corners of his mouth with her hands and put them under the veil.
"Please enjoy, Mr. Lu Yu, even if you are not the exaggerated glutton according to the rumors, these delicacies are 'not to be lived up to' in your words, right?" Laurent loved to laugh, even though he looked bad, but every time he smiled When he got up, looking at his kind expression, Lu Yu felt relaxed.
Lu Yu said his first words after entering this room: "Can I let the summons come out to eat together?"
This strange request made the nun in black stop what she was doing, and her golden eyes quickly locked on Lu Yu.
Laurent touched the nun in black lightly with his hand, and the nun in black immediately looked away.
"Okay, speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen a summoner feeding his summons. Shouldn't they be satisfied with just enjoying the magic power?"
"To me, summons are just another form of life."
"Interesting answer, I've never heard a summoner say that...so to you, summons are more than just 'objects' that serve you?"
"Yes, they fight for me and provide convenience for me. We should be considered partners."
Laurent laughed, so violently that he coughed violently.
"Those summoners will definitely laugh at you, but it doesn't matter. I think what you said is very interesting. At least your answer is warmer than the cold contract, which comes and goes when summoned."
Seeing Lu Yu devouring the prawns, Laurende smiled and touched the hand of the nun in black and took the porridge bowl. The nun in black tacitly raised the pillow for him.
Lu Yu didn't show any pretense at all, he just ate it how he wanted to eat, tearing the prawns with his hands, scooping out the meat with a spoon, and sucking the roe, all in one go. The summoned gecko was grilling fish by himself.
Seeing Sera standing aside with her chin propped up and watching, he simply summoned Sera and asked her to help fillet the fish, while he went to the other end of the corridor to ask the chef for seasonings to make dipping sauce.
Sierra swallowed hard: "Can you eat more slowly, and no one will compete with you?"
"The dipping sauce I made is spicy and sour, which is very appetizing. The more I eat it, the more I want to eat it. There's nothing I can do about it."
"Then can you fillet the fish yourself? I want to eat it too."
Saying that, Sera stopped working, threw the sliced fish into the dipping sauce, picked it up and put it into her mouth, enjoying it happily.
Laurende watched this scene, the corner of his mouth raised, and then looked at Lu Yu's eating appearance. His Adam's apple surged, and his saliva secreted wildly. The irritability that made him feel disgusted when he saw the food disappeared, and he quickly finished the bowl of rice porridge. , even the green leafy vegetables and minced meat were wiped out.
This was the first time Laurend had eaten so much in one meal in such a long time. Not only that, when he saw Lu Yu and Sera digging into the shrimp meat, he actually had the idea of having another bowl.
The nun in black chuckled and immediately went out to bring Laurend a bowl of delicious fish porridge.
Laurent asked: "Did you cook it?"
The nun in black nodded slightly.
Following Lu Yu's eating look, Laurende drank it all in one gulp, and his face turned pale and rosy.
As Laurende finished his meal, Lu Yu, who was eating so much, took a break and found a chair to sit down.
The golden eyes of the nun in black were no longer sharp. After putting away all the tableware, she bowed slightly towards Lu Yu from a position where Laurende could not see.
"Sorry, I will be very tired now after eating. I wanted to have a good chat with you..." Laurende said regretfully.
Lu Yu said: "I am staying at Serra's house temporarily, and I am protected by the Theocracy, so you don't have to be so polite."
"In that case, I will invite His Excellency Lu Yu to visit me later, please don't refuse."
Laurende, whose eyelids were getting heavier, asked the nun in black to see off the guests. When they reached the foot of the Pope's Tower, the nun in black stopped and bowed respectfully to Lu Yu.
After walking far away, Lu Yu couldn't help but ask: "She is not a human being."
Sierra said: "Do you feel it? Then guess what race she is?"
"The hand I touched was cold, like it had scales... With vertical pupils, it was very stressful to look at her... Could it be..."
Sera answered quickly: "Yes, you guessed it right, it's a dragon...that's weird!"
Sera looked at the confused Lu Yu and explained: "It's a snake, she is a snake person."
