The golden bell shines in the marble bell tower.
Whenever I look at a church building, I feel it is too extravagant.
To put it mildly, this is the expression of human beings' belief in the goddess Firsya, but if it is put harshly, it is just human beings trying to flatter themselves to satisfy their vanity.
Compared to the closed Demon King's City, this kind of flashy money product made Li Mo feel more depressed.
The only thing that made Li Mo feel comfortable was this courtyard submerged in a sea of flowers. However, this seemed to be just the personal interest of the manager here.
"Let's go inside, Lord Li Mo."
The demon fox girl closed her eyes and stood solemnly behind Li Mo.
She waited politely for Li Mo, who stopped at the door, and only spoke softly to remind him when she noticed that his thoughts were drifting away.
"Um."
Li Mo nodded slightly and started to move forward.
But as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, a gust of wind blew up around him without any warning, and petals of various colors swirled and danced around Li Mo. After a while, they fell gently like a curtain.
"It seems like the goddess doesn't welcome me."
Li Mo smiled bitterly.
"But someone who can welcome us has arrived."
The ears on the fox girl's head twitched slightly, predicting the next moment in advance.
Sure enough, in the next second, the door to the side room of the church was opened from the inside out, and the two pairs of welcoming bells hanging on the door also played a beautiful harmony.
"It seems so."
Li Mo responded with approval and turned his gaze to the side room.
What then appeared in his eyes was a girl who looked like she had walked out of a cabin in a fairy tale picture book.
The cross on her chest shines in the sun, her golden eyelashes decorate her blue pupils, and her simple nun uniform cannot cover up the elegance she exudes from the inside out.
Holy and flawless, even using these words to describe her would be too simple.
When she discovered the arrival of Li Mo and the demon fox girl, she showed a somewhat surprised expression. She made sure that her dress would not be rude before walking in front of them.
She did not speak in a hurry, but gently held the delicate cross on her chest with both hands, and prayed for the two of them with her eyes closed:
"May the blessings of the goddess be with you."
Then she looked at Li Mo with her jewel-like blue eyes and gave him a warm smile.
"I have heard that the church tries its best to exclude demons, so I don't think the goddess will protect us."
Li Mo knew that it was rude to throw cold water on him, but he didn't like the church anyway, and he was too lazy to say even the most basic polite words.
"No, the goddess will treat everything in the world equally. What you have heard is just the arbitrary prejudice of this church."
The nun shook her head slightly and said something very calmly that shocked Li Mo.
"As a member of the church, are you really saying this? If it reaches the ears of those big shots, you may be accused of being a witch and sentenced to death."
When Li Mo clearly understood the nature of the church, they were no longer simply a religion.
They used humans' belief in the majesty of the goddess to secretly gain extremely high power. Their pope could even be on an equal footing with the emperor, so so-called pagans were not allowed to exist by them.
Dealing with such careless little guys is their specialty.
"Well, no problem. I'm in a safe country full of pagans, right?"
The nun gently put her index finger to her lips, showing a mischievous smile.
It's like saying "please keep it a secret for me" as naughty words.
"Huhu...hahahahaha."
Even though he was covering his stomach and mouth, Li Mo couldn't help laughing.
It was the first time he heard such words from the clergy of the church. He was sincerely happy for the old people in the upper echelons of the church.
At the same time, he also respected the nuns' courage and faith.
Her pure faith has never been tarnished by those who are good at playing conspiracy. This piety dedicated only to the goddess is more precious than any gorgeous church.
Thinking about it this way, Li Mo felt that what he just said was indeed too rude.
"Please allow me to apologize for my rudeness just now."
Li Mo suppressed his laughter, took a deep breath, and returned to his normal state.
He lightly touched his left shoulder with his right hand and saluted the nun in an elegant gesture, which represented the demon's highest respect for the guest.
"I am Li Mo, the agent of the Lord of the Wind Land. I am here to discuss your application for preaching with the person in charge of this church."
"Hello, Lord Limo, I am Freya, the nun in charge of this church. I sincerely welcome you both."
The nun gently clasped her fingers together on her chest and responded with church etiquette.
Afterwards, the nun took Li Mo and the demon fox girl to the living room in the side room.
The rooms for the clergy are not as gorgeous as the church itself.
There was almost nothing in the huge living room, just a small table and a few chairs, but the entire cupboard was filled with tea sets for entertaining guests.
The nun invited them to sit in the guest seats and then prepared tea for them. She took advantage of this gap to relax a little, leaned on the seat and let out a breath of relief.
Looking back, I haven't had such a formal talk about work with someone for a long time.
Dealing with the unruly Demon King every day, I have almost forgotten all about etiquette. I am really not used to it now.
He loosened his collar a little and noticed the fox girl standing behind him. He smiled bitterly and pointed to the chair next to him:
"You can sit down, too. Feel free to sit down. You don't have to be too formal with me."
"No."
The demon fox girl shook her head and rejected Li Mo's kindness.
"I am just a follower of Master Li Mo. Sitting side by side with the master will bring shame to the master. Standing behind the master like this to assist the master is what we should do."
Really, they, the Demon Fox Clan, love to enforce rules in these inexplicable places.
If you follow the rules like this, don't bully me in the first place.
"I'm sorry, I can't do this, because bullying Mr. Limo is very interesting."
"Why did you read my mind naturally again!"
"I'm just reading the words on Mr. Limo's face."
The beautiful smile was like a thorn, sending chills down Li Mo's back. He involuntarily stepped back and knocked over his chair.
"Did something happen?"
At this moment, the nun happened to come back from the inner room with a tea set.
Li Mo quickly picked up the chair and sat back. After tightening his tie, he coughed twice in a pretentious manner, and then replied seriously:
"nothing."
"Yes...really?"
Although she was a little confused, the nun didn't bother to dig deeper. She placed the tea set in front of Li Mo and made him a cup of hot black tea.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Mo quickly picked up the tea cup and took a sip without caring about scalding it.
"It's really good black tea."
Li Mo put the tea cup to his mouth and felt the lingering praise.
"Thanks."
The nun held the tray and smiled contentedly.
But in fact, Li Mo didn’t understand black tea.
The financial constraints of the Demon King's City did not allow him to have such an elegant hobby, and he could count the number of times he drank black tea on his fingers.
So he said this deliberately to show off his face.
"call......"
From behind came a voice that was trying to hold back a smile but couldn't hold it back.
When Li Mo turned around, he saw that the demon fox girl was turning her bulging cheeks and flushed face to the side.
Sure enough, this little girl saw through it again!
I’m so embarrassed!
"Ahem! Uh-huh!"
Li Mo stopped the demon fox sister with a contrived cough. Then she returned to her normal posture, closed her eyes and stood behind Li Mo with a nice smile.
"Really."
Li Mo sighed, turned around and sat back.
Although this child is a bit scary, but as she said, no matter how embarrassed she is, she will always stand behind her.
This is quite reassuring.
"Sorry, let's talk business."
Li Mo drank the black tea in his hand and gently put down the cup, then turned his attention to the nun sitting opposite.
"Okay, hehe."
The nun slightly covered her mouth with her hand and let out a soft and somewhat cute laugh.
"Is this the second time you have faced Master Li Mo like this?"
"Huh? Have I seen you before?"
Li Mo opened his eyes wide.
"Yes, a few weeks ago Master Li Mo offered an offering to the goddess."
"Ah, ah, it seems that such a thing really happened, thank you for remembering it."
"Because Lord Limo is the first demon to offer sacrifices to the goddess since the church was built, so I remember it very clearly."
Sister Freya clapped her hands gently on her lips, looking happy.
"Have you ever received any tributes other than from me?"
"there is none left."
Li Mo scratched his head violently, he guessed that was it.
"So, Lord Li Mo is the first believer we captured in the Demon King's Continent. I always feel very happy."
Sister Freya's grin was as bright as the sun.
But Li Mo always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her choice of words, and she was really optimistic. It had been obvious that the church had been built for a while, and she only received her five copper coins.
"If you truly regard Master Limo as a believer, can you be more honest and ask the person behind the door to come out and see you?"
Before Li Mo could answer.
The demon fox girl who had been standing quietly behind her suddenly spoke.
The moment she spoke, there was restless movement from the door of the inner room.
then......
There was an avalanche at the door.
