Liao Ji was woken up by a sound of kicking on the door.
Before he opened his eyes, he felt the warmth of jade in his arms first. When his vision became clear, what he saw was a small cat curled up next to him. The upper body was wearing a thin lining, and only two white strips were left on the lower body. silk nun.
"Well..."
Before Liao Ji had time to react to the situation, the kick at the door had already taken effect. After a "bang", the poor security door had already been kicked down once. He asked Liao Ji to get something to pin it down. As a result, it was kicked open for the second time, and judging from the pulpy keyhole, it was probably completely scrapped.
The figure who appeared at the door was, as expected, Yilin.
Because the girl has a contract with Liao Ji, she can sense the young man's location within a certain range as long as Liao Ji does not actively block it.
It was six or seven o'clock in the morning when Yilin fell asleep and opened her eyes. Brian, who had been watching her all night with two big black circles in his eyes, learned about the situation last night and went straight to Liao Ji. Come.
"Old Gu..."
A very anxious Yi Lin rushed in, but before she could even finish shouting her name, the charming and fragrant scene in the room forced the girl to stop where she was.
As it happened, Maria, the nun in Liao Ji's arms, also woke up leisurely at this time, maybe because she was also disturbed by Yilin. After she opened her eyes in a daze, she knelt down next to the young man with her legs in an M shape. , happened to look at Yilin at the door.
"..."
All right.
Just when Liao Ji thought he was going to have to waste some time talking.
The next move of the girl opposite was unexpected.
I saw that after a brief period of daze, Yilin not only did not expect the violent output of a series of "telegraph machines", but instead took a long breath and seemed to be much more relaxed.
"...?" This time, Liao Ji couldn't control himself and swallowed back all the words that came to his lips.
Maria on the sofa seemed to finally wake up completely, and found that she was "actually" sleeping in the arms of the young man, and was caught on the spot by what seemed to be the hostess of the house.
The nun hurriedly stood up from Liao Ji, then shook her head and apologized to Yilin.
"Yes... I'm sorry! That's not the case. It was me who took the initiative last night... Oh no! I, I mean, I begged my husband to take me home... We didn't do anything last night ... No... we just did some... did some..."
Liao Ji felt that if the panicked Maria continued to speak, even if she was innocent, she would be painted as black.
He waved his hand to the nun, signaling Maria to take it easy and leave the rest to him.
"Are you okay?"
"Um."
"That's good."
Next, Liao Ji briefly recounted to the girl what happened last night after Yilin fell asleep, including Maria's origin and the information about Nolan obtained from the nun's "divination".
As for Yilin, she didn't say a word during the whole process, and just listened carefully and quietly.
"That's pretty much it. Maria probably passed out from too much energy after the divination, so we temporarily stayed at your house for one night. As for why she slept next to me when she woke up..."
Liao Ji glanced at the nun next to him, who looked like she was about to cry when she realized she had made a mistake.
Maria immediately bowed and apologized to the young man again.
"I'm sorry! I'm... really sorry! The rainstorm last night was really heavy. I... I was afraid of thunder, so... I unconsciously..."
But obviously, Liao Ji was not very satisfied with this explanation.
After all, his focus was not on Maria running over to sleep with him, but on the fact that he was completely unaware of it. In other words, assuming that Maria got up late at night and didn't come over to "sleep" but did something else, He will also be clueless and defenseless.
This is so strange.
Liao Ji dared not sleep with a strange nun under the same roof. The biggest confidence was the "contract", because the other party was a doomed person. If there was any slight change, his contract should wake him up immediately. This is Part of the "contract" power.
But why...
What about last night's "contract" when Maria quietly approached him and even lay down together, but there was still no response?
Is it just because the other party is not "hostile"?
Or...
Liao Ji stared at Maria who was apologizing thoughtfully, frowning slightly.
"Okay, Old Antique, don't embarrass her!" At this time, it was Yilin who stood up.
She saw Liao Ji staring closely at the nun, so she took a step forward and took the initiative to protect the shivering nun behind her.
"You don't understand, I...those of us who have lacked parents since childhood are born to be particularly afraid of thunder, strong winds, etc. When bad weather like this comes, I..."
"Hmph! I will also sneak into my mother's bed! What's wrong!"
Erin put her hands on her hips. She didn't know if she saw the shadow of herself in the timid and weak nun, or if Maria helped her get the news about her mother, so she now looks like a tigress protecting her cubs.
In this regard, Liao Ji felt a little speechless, because according to the script, Yilin should not be jealous and quarrel with them, but she should be angry with them at least, especially when they first met, from Yilin's perspective , it should be that the most important mother was clearly entrusted to him, but he just hugged a nun and slept with him at home?
As if reading the young man's thoughts at the moment, the girl snorted again.
The explanation she gave was very simple, so simple that even Liao Ji could not refute it.
"Because I believe that a guy who dares to compare himself to the "Great Emperor"... How can such a powerful person break his promise so easily? As long as it is something he has promised, he will definitely honor it!"
The girl looked proud when she said this, and those who didn't know thought she was talking about herself.
"So when I saw that you could still sleep holding a woman in your arms, I knew that my mother must be safe, at least for the time being. Otherwise, with your character, old antique, how could you still sleep!"
hiss...
Could it be that after being promoted to "Danger Level", even the brain has been upgraded? Why did you suddenly become so talkative? Could it be that the package was dropped?
In order to confirm this, Liao Ji asked again: "Then aren't you jealous? Watching me sleep with other women?"
"Huh...huh!? You, you, you! What the hell are you talking about! I'm so jealous of you, you big-headed guy! You just sleep with women! I...It's not like I haven't slept with you before! Besides, I'm jealous of you!" ! I, we are brothers! No matter how many women you sleep with, it has nothing to do with me, Irene!"
Seeing the girl who was so angry and started talking nonsense, Liao Ji felt relieved a lot.
OK.
I'm sure I haven't been transferred now.
While the two were going back and forth, what neither Liao Ji nor Yilin noticed was that Maria, the nun watching silently, lowered her head slightly. No cowardice or fear could be seen on her face. Some are just...
Twisted gloom.
But soon, as Liao Ji changed the topic and got back on track, the nun's expression instantly changed back to its original state.
"Okay, Maria, you passed out last night so I couldn't ask. Do you have any good ideas for the future? For example, as you said, can you weaken the evil there?"
"No, no need to go to such trouble..." Maria suddenly said.
After shaking her head, she stared at Liao Ji. Perhaps because of the behavior of the young man and the girl just now, the nun changed her plan. She said to them word by word:
"After resting last night, I...I feel much better. I think I should have a way to teleport us...directly."
"Teleport...teleport?" Erin wondered if she had heard wrongly.
And the answer the girl got was...
"Yes, my "divination" power is not limited to prediction, but can also teleport us directly to the coordinates that I divined, that is...to the area where your mother is."
"What...so powerful!!?"
Seeing that there was no joke on Maria's face, Erin's eyes widened and she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise as if she had been hit by a grand prize.
This feeling is like something, as if the protagonist of "Saving the Succubus" was directly sent back to the Magic City by a magic circle on the first day.
"Saving the Succubus" is a short film jointly produced by "Magic City" and "Machine Alliance". It tells the story of how a young succubus returned to the Magic City from the hell of bionic humans with no juice to squeeze out. Inspirational story.
Yilin immediately looked at Liao Ji.
Apparently even the girl feels that this is a bit...
Liao Ji: "Maria, I am special. Once I arrive at that place, I may cause a riot among the "relics" there. Can you help me cover up my aura? "
"Yes, sir."
"Really? Without further ado, please trouble Miss Maria and start the transmission now."
After getting the answer he wanted from the nun and dispelling his last worries, Liao Ji nodded and directly requested to start. This made Yi Lin next to him suddenly anxious.
She kept winking at Liao Ji, but Yilin's instinct told her that this was too wrong. It was a little too smooth... too fast, too weird. Are they really going to be teleported away by the nun like this?
However, in response, Liao Ji gave the girl a "reassuring" look, so that she didn't have to worry too much.
that's all.
After Maria made some simple ceremony arrangements, Liao Ji and Yilin leaned on the left and right of the nun. With a burst of holy light, the three figures disappeared from the room in an instant.
And just at the same time.
the other side.
church.
Sacramental Library.
As the only official authority of the Holy Kingdom, it naturally also assumes the responsibility of educating the people. Each church has a library. The three floors listed on the front are free and open to all Holy Kingdom people, and they can freely enter and read. .
The additional two floors of the Sacramental Library located underground are the "library" locations, which are not open to the general public. Only church insiders and invited special persons are allowed to come in and browse.
Du Lin strode in early in the morning and saw four knights wearing "holy armor" at the entrance to the library underground.
[Holy Armor] is the advanced weapon of the Knights. It combines the exoskeleton machinery from the "Machine Alliance" with the power of the goddess. When equipped by well-trained Knights members, their abilities will be greatly improved.
The machine brings powerful power, while the goddess cross in the center provides energy and the power of the Holy Light that greatly restrains evil. The combination of the two makes the Paladin capable of subduing a "regular" evil changer by himself. Next, if you form a team, even "danger level" doomed ones have many containment records.
"Captain Dulin!" When the four paladins saw Dulin's arrival, they immediately put away their guns and stood up straight, waving their mechanical arms in salute.
They thought Du Lin was going to enter the library, so they moved out of the way. The other person was going to register Du Lin, but who would have thought that Du Lin waved to them and shook his head to indicate no need.
"You guys, starting from today, you will follow us during the patrol phase this week."
"Why are you still stunned? Take off your holy armor."
Facing Du Lin's urging, the four paladins who reacted quickly said: "But...but Captain Du Lin, the priest's instructions are that the library must be..."
"You must have heard about the big event that happened last night. Chief Kaleva is dead. Now the Black Cave gathering place is in chaos. The usual patrols and security forces are simply not enough. The goddess's teachings are for us to protect People, instead of letting you guard a shabby library that no one will come to for eight hundred years!"
"Received... received!"
The four paladins were persuaded one after another under Du Lin's severe scolding, and it was obvious that Du Lin's prestige among these knights was really high, and they did not have the slightest doubt.
After taking off their holy armors, handing them to Dulin, and saluting, the four of them quickly ran towards the knights' position and joined the patrol on horseback.
Just like that, the entrance to the library became completely silent, and Du Lin was the only one left.
The knight captain glanced coldly with disgust. After leading to the quiet stairs underground in the library, he brought out a dagger and skillfully pried out the Goddess Cross as an energy source in the center of the holy armor. , then put the holy armor back into place and prepared to turn around and leave, leaving an unguarded library with the door open.
In this way, even if someone from the Knights comes to help later, the core "Holy Armor" will no longer be used.
He has delivered on his word.
You should watch the rest...
Du Lin recalled the young man in the cafe last night,
However.
Before Du Lin could take a few steps, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time. A man came out from the shadow behind the pillar and blocked Du Lin's way.
He was wearing a black robe, with a conspicuous cross hanging on his chest. His hands were crossed and drooping, holding a holy book in his hands.
A few rays of the early morning sun shone on the man through the window, giving his already peaceful face a more charitable feel. People couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness and trust, as if he was willing to commit the crime he committed. Confess all your sins to this man.
Yes.
There is only one person in the gathering place who can do this, the leader of the Black Cave Church...the ruler, the priest, Gron.
"As expected of Captain Dulin, it is an honor for the people of Black Cave to have a knight like you."
The priest clapped, with a smile on his face.
He walked step by step towards Du Lin, who was frozen in place.
"The report deliberately concealed the clues about the murderer who killed Farm last night and the culprit behind the destruction of the factory. Now he suddenly removed the guard I placed at the entrance of the library, and even..."
Gronn went around to Dulin's back, then hid him behind, and took back the four energy crosses that had just been pried off from the holy armor.
The priest shook his head.
"Dulin, I'm so disappointed in you. I thought you could become one of us, but now it seems..."
"Not only did you give up the opportunity for promotion, but you also abandoned... your wife."
As soon as the word "wife" was mentioned, the veins on Du Lin's forehead popped out. The knight, who couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly got angry and wanted to pounce on the priest in front of him, but unfortunately...
The priest didn't even move, but the huge rebound force blew Du Lin away.
The kind old man from before disappeared and was replaced by a priest with a distorted face, full of wrinkles, and wrapped in a turbid red mist.
Those who have experienced calamity, and judging from the fluctuations of calamity, they have exceeded the "normal level" and have reached... the "danger level"!
"Bah! You bastard! One day, the true church will get rid of filthy maggots like you!" Du Lin, who was struggling, was stepped on the ground by the priest. He cursed fiercely.
As a result, instead of being angry, the priest seemed to be more interested.
"Du Lin, actually, I had always had the same idea as you before. I was afraid that people from the church would come over and discover my deviant behavior and that I was conducting forbidden experiments, but..."
"Just yesterday, the big shots in the church really came over, and they even approached me directly. They were real big shots, they were the ones who could surpass the bishop...the Bearer of Light."
When the priest said this, his face was full of enthusiasm and respect. Then, in a mocking and sarcastic tone, he squatted down and said word by word in Dulin's ear, who stared at him fiercely:
"But do you know, what did the Light Bearer choose after knowing everything about me?"
The priest here still found it incredible, but this did not prevent him from telling the truth. With an arrogant and unrestrained tone, Geron opened his arms, as if the Lord Light Bearer from last night appeared in front of him, so beautiful. The touching, flawless figure made him fascinated...even admired.
After all, only Lord Light Bearer, who coexists with such beauty and wisdom, can understand him and...
"She chose..."
"Assist me!!"
