Slow 48.4-B chapter: Straight man of steel
·
You offer to help communicate with the vicar to avoid excessive contact between the soldier and the priest in the future.
"Ha!" the general laughed when he heard this, "I can do it, but try it, my favor is not easy to earn." ”
Watching him walk away as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, you begin to realize that perhaps the vicar wasn't so easy to communicate with. It's just small talk, so it's not too much to handle, right?
Instead of immediately walking into the teleportation array, you turn around and walk back, towards another high-rise building next to the military fortress in the walled city. The six- and seven-story stone tower, which has been converted from an idle arrow tower into a temporary camp for priests, still looks like the flag of the Wisteria Ghost Ridge military troops are still hanging from the outside, but the logo of the goddess of life has been painted with white paint on the door. As soon as you enter the door, there is a golden statue inside, and there is only the goddess of life.
Two or three soldiers were standing guard outside the door, two or three were chatting with the priests in the lobby, and two or three soldiers were kneeling on one knee and clasping their hands together in silent prayer in front of their foreheads. It's like a makeshift temple.
For reasons of status, it is not uncommon for vicar bishops to be seen. He soon hurries to you from the inner cloister, his expression both wary and delighted. The vicar, a young man of about twenty-five years of age, greets you and salutes.
"What an unexpected visit and a very welcome welcome. May the gods bless you, Lord Viscount. ”
With that, he fixed his gaze on Angel's body. In fact, everyone in the entire makeshift temple was staring at Angel. Silently, the vicar stretched out four fingers and said to you: "In this life, I have only seen three manifestations of divine power. The first time I was a junior priest of the third or fourth level, I followed the first leader of your guild to destroy evil demons, and at the end of the extremely tragic battle, I witnessed the archbishop summon the goddess of life to the mortal world, as well as a large number of angels, everyone was very young at that time; the second time was when I was just promoted to the seventeenth level, I witnessed the goddess of life descend in front of me and told me a few words; the third time was that the leader of the third generation of your guild used himself as a medium to summon the goddess of pain and kill my mentor during the rebellion in Cloud Splitting City a while ago. Honestly, because of Shanting, I can now become a vicar. Maybe I should thank her? Now I've witnessed a fourth miracle -- a false god who walked into the temple with a real angel. Maybe I should thank you too?"
tone
expression
In the atmosphere, the vicar did not hold back any malice. But how strange the words sounded.
You tell him that there should be a clear line between the military and the priest, otherwise there is no benefit in ambiguity and discipline on both sides. The vicar frowned.
"This ...... Does it have anything to do with you?"
"The branch guild is held in Wisteria Ghost Ridge, which is guarded by the military and the army is composed of soldiers. Hathaway looked around the makeshift temple and explained, "These priests you brought with you are all handsome men and women, and the atmosphere is soft. Maybe I should thank you if the soldiers lost their positions in a special time by patronizing gags?"
With a sigh, the vicar raised his hands in surrender: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's just a small thing." Why should Miss Hathaway bother? ”
The vicar agreed, and in the future he would strictly manage the priests and prevent them from having too much contact with the soldiers.
It's easier than expected.
Finish.
Before you turn around and leave,
The young vicar smiled and said, "I don't care, as long as you don't regret it." ”
What are your plans for this yin and yang weird sentence?
A, find someone else to continue to follow up on this matter, and be ready to regret it at any time.
B, who cares. The truce with Cloud Splitting City will not last forever, and neither will his life.
·
Although the scene changed a little quickly, the "Witch's Sigh" was all asleep by Margaret's spell except for Matthew.
In layman's terms, it's all imprisoned!
"Tong En, now everything in the way has been solved! Only Matthew is left!Are you ready over there? I'll rush over there right away!" Margaret cast a spell and spoke to Tong En.
Tong En sneered and stared at Matthew's back and responded, "Don't worry." This time Matthew must die here, just sure. ”
In the bustling streets of the old slave trading city, Matthew walked alone and defenseless. Behind him are ten women with their own ghosts, no matter what, even if it costs a lot today, they will nail Matthew's single career to Adele's arms. Swear by the gossip!
Maybe it's hard for you to understand, but in fact, when you have nothing to do, you often talk about Matthew and Adele in your harem. On the one hand, some people are worried that Adele will join the harem, and on the other hand, they are really curious about how Matthew, a straight man of steel, can succumb to Adele's skirt. Over time, this idle matter became their common goal.
Today is the opportunity.
Raising his hand to stand on the left was not to go to the island at all, but to follow Matthew back to the ancient city and pick up the "professional in charge of assisting" written on the order sheet. Fiertin, Julianne and others were slow to respond.
Matthew saw the "Dragon Pavilion" not far away, knew it, and immediately pushed the door to enter. It seems that I made an appointment with the professional to meet here. The waiter had just seen Matthew walk in, and was going to say welcome as always, but was stunned by the nearly ten women who followed him. There were a few people she knew, and she soon realized that this was the Adventurer's Guild that had been made up for her.
It's too unnatural to charter the venue, but there aren't many guests in the "Dragon Pavilion", and they have all arranged it.
At the center of the table, sat Adele. Silver finch earrings hang above the white fragrant shoulders, as if faintly in the refreshing shoulder-length short hair, the red and white silk dress falls generously, a few ribbons seem to be a gift prepared for Matthew, and there is a white flower in his ear, which is eye-catching.
She half-got up and smiled shyly.
"Hi. Matthew raised his hand, pulled up his chair, and sat down. He knew in his heart that the other party's eight achievements were Adele, after all, they had cooperated for many years and had a tacit understanding.
Nearly ten people sat down in the corner, staring at Matthew and Adele fiercely, very unnatural, as if they were going to pounce on them at any time and fight in a group. The atmosphere was not quite right, and the few remaining guests in the "Dragon Pavilion" quickly paid their orders and fled.
Decisive battle!
The girls had already discussed, all the trump cards were played as soon as possible, and the killing moves were in front!
Annette winked at the waiter, who nodded, and then placed a fine silver candlestick in front of Matthew and Adele, pouring fragrant red wine in a soothing atmosphere. Not only that, but Annette also cast a spell to make many colorful butterflies dance, causing a rose on the table to bloom into a large bouquet of roses. The waiters on the side are all smiling, and it is really a romantic and dreamlike atmosphere.
In such an environment, any strategy will get twice the result with half the effort!
"Where did the illusion come from?" Matthew waved his hand to dispel the phantom butterflies, "Is there a druid around here?" Matthew grabbed the vase and poured the rose to the ground, "The candles in the morning are so dazzling. Matthew pinched the candle flame with his fingers.
Annette froze in place with her mouth wide open.
There are quite a few wanderers who are good at 0 ring arcane, and such a small illusion is naturally completely ineffective against Matthew.
Annette wouldn't give up, and continued to cast spells on Matthew—making him hot and his heart racing. The principle is simple: it warms up the body and puts the mood into a state of stress. This is the drawbridge effect, and a rapid heartbeat can make people mistakenly think that they have fallen in love!
Matthew resisted, not even feeling anything. Confusion spells are difficult to do against wanderers.
"Okay, it's okay, just make a move. ”
"Spells aren't all!"
Annette winked at the waitress again, who nodded. The waiter walked up to Matthew with a smile and introduced, "Hello sir, today our store has launched a special discount service - couples enjoy 5% off. Please ask you and this little ......"
"It's fine. I've been making a lot of money lately, and this young lady can eat whatever she wants. Matthew replied.
Originally, Annette thought about it a lot. If Matthew and Adele can dine as a couple, a lot of things will be easier to do later, and you will die if you save a little? Annette was a little anxious, and took out the last trick she didn't want to use - set up a hint spell under the plate.
As soon as Matthew takes the plate and touches the spell with his hand, the spell will be activated, and he will be hinted at. This exemption rate is low, and it is easy to work.
So the waiter served the first soup,
Matthew took the plate, reached out and took a new plate from the table next to him, and changed the soup himself. The plate with the mechanism was left aside, and it was new for oneself.
He knew it. It is estimated that the instructors plan to take the opportunity to test whether he is always vigilant, otherwise the B-level evaluation will be withdrawn. For the sake of his companions, he will never slack off. Annette wants to vomit blood, her spell has been carved for a long time!
The women patted Annette on the shoulder, and then pushed Lucia out of the way.
Small tricks will definitely not work for Matthew, if you want to fix it, you can fix it!
Let's sing!
So Lucy Xia suppressed her voice and sang a melodious and quiet song. She is now capable, and her singing voice can control the scope of influence, and it will only work for Matthew alone.
Isn't it a straight man of steel?
Isn't it impossible to open your mind?
Reverse him! I don't believe that this can withstand it! Lucia's singing voice is continuous, and it is only a matter of time before it is exempted.
No one expected Matthew's resistance to be so high, and it could also be because Lucy Xia's level was too low, so she sang for a long time. During this time, Matthew and Adele were in a very harmonious atmosphere, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and discussing in depth how to resolve the island dispute in the future. Matthew knew in his heart that the reason why his companions did not come for unknown reasons was to allow the captain to communicate with the helper, and this matter was very important and should not be taken lightly. Adele was panicking...... Is this okay......
finally
The singing worked. Matthew's eyes changed suddenly—so hot that it almost burned Adele's soul.
"Adele, dear. There's something I've always wanted to say to you. Matthew suddenly held Adele's hand tightly, and the two faces were very close, very close, making the latter's face red, ears and red heart about to burst, "I really love you very much, I like you, I want to embrace you in my arms, and I want to be with you every night to meet the dawn day and day, and never separate." ”
“...... Huh?"
Because she was too straightforward, Adele blushed to the bottom, shocked and ashamed to speak. She nodded vigorously, then looked up again, and found that Matthew had twisted his face in a different direction.
Matthew stared at the innocent waiter next to him and said, "I love you too, I really love you really, very much, and I want to stay with you for the rest of my life, kissing every inch of you......"
The girls immediately covered Lucy Xia's mouth!
Matthew immediately covered his mouth!
Adele immediately covered her mouth!
The waiter immediately covered his mouth!
The women were so remorseful that they almost cried because they saw a very horrible scene; Matthew laughed a few times, explaining that he was drunk and talking nonsense, and was about to cry with embarrassment; Adele was so stimulated that she almost cried because she was heartbroken; and the waiter was about to cry because she didn't hear the handsome guy say it at the end.
The trick is effective, but the effect is too much.
The girls dragged Lucia back and pushed Elo out. The magic of the song has proven to be very effective, but it needs to be a little less powerful, and the Harpy will win the game without any suspense.
In particular, a harpy can speak.
There's a reason the gods punish this race for not being able to speak, their singing is magical, and if they can, there is unimaginable danger in their words. Moreover, Ello has also studied related books, and has great experience in language manipulation.
There are some things that should actually be said directly.
Elo sat down next to Matthew and Adele and said with a smile: "Matthew, isn't Adele an ideal and perfect wife? She is gentle, beautiful, kind, and loyal to the point of being willing to give everything for you." What's wrong with her?"
Matthew replied, "Adele is the most beautiful girl I have ever met, she is perfect, excellent, and worthy of anyone's cherishment. ”
"Shouldn't a girl like this have a wedding?" Elo continued to induce.
"Of course!" Matthew looked excited, and said to Adele happily, "Sister, brother is rich now, no matter who you marry, brother will give you a beautiful wedding!"
Elo's cheeks twitched wildly, and Adele directly held her forehead in despair.
"I'm talking about Adele's happiness!"
"I wish you happiness!"
Elo was desperate to hold her forehead, and Adele was directly loveless.
"Get out of the way!" so you have to be special, special, and direct to deal with this straight man of steel!" Julianne dragged Ello behind. She is full of confidence, after all, she has achieved William's special wedding, and she has experience.
Julianne and Matthew looked at each other. The former was murderous, the latter was dazed.
"Matthew!"
"Julianne, I'm here!"
I know you don't believe in the goddess of life, but any priest who believes in a good god is qualified to officiate at a wedding. So, would you two like me to officiate at the wedding?"
Direct!
Big straight ball!
Matthew was stunned, and Adele covered her face shyly. Whether Matthew is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, it should be understood this time. There was no concealment and euphemism in what Julian said, and a fool could not understand it.
As if striking while the iron was hot, Julianne was afraid that Matthew would not understand, so she continued to ask, "Matthew, what do you think?"
"Uh, excellent!"
"Adele, what about you?"
"Well, I've admired it for a long time. ”
"Then, it's decided, does anyone have any objections?" Julianne looked very strong!
Matthew fell into a rare silence. He's thinking hard. Adele's heart was pounding, and it was the most critical moment in her life – either getting married, or not even being friends, and nothing else.
It's a big gamble! a gamble of life!
Suddenly standing up, clenching his fists, as if he had made up his mind, Matthew replied in a loud voice, "Okay! I didn't expect you to be so direct, I have to respond to you directly! No problem! Okay!—I will change my faith, I am not a priest anyway, I will change! But it will take a little time and process, and I am not very familiar with the teachings of the goddess of life. ”
Julianne was stupid in place, and she nodded along with the atmosphere.
Matthew was indignant, shook his head to look at Adele, and asked in a loud voice, "Miss Julianne has been so directly admonished, you should also give a quick response!"
Adele's whole face was soaked in the thick soup, and she gurgled and said, "I converted to ......"
The other party actually turned into Matthew thinks that the Life Sect is very good, and Adele has also admired the Life Sect for a long time, and after they convert, Julianne can more justifiably officiate the wedding for them. No one ever said it...... Whether they marry together or separately. Julianne's mind was completely confused, and she tilted her neck and crossed her arms, unable to figure out what was wrong.
Tong En squeezed Julian away and said, "Okay, everyone knows that this man is difficult." In the end, I had to come. ”
"Since you agreed, have you signed this 'Conversion Agreement'?" Tong En walked over to Matthew's side and placed a copy of the agreement on the table, which was more than twenty pages thick, "This is a detailed list of specific terms. It's more reassuring than words, or writing, isn't it?"
"Of course. ”
Matthew picked up the agreement and rubbed it: "Did you take it by mistake? Pages 11, 17, and 23 here are sandwiched between the marriage agreement. ”
"Ugh. ”
Tong En never dreamed that his seamless agreement fraud would be detected in only three seconds. Really, Matthew just rubbed the pages with his fingers and read them all. This kind of fraud trick, Matthew has played badly when he was down and running.
Tong En smiled awkwardly and took out the spare agreement. This time, she was not going to leave Matthew with any chance to look closely, but kept talking while Matthew was rubbing the pages:
"Speaking of weddings, this is a very interesting agreement that a friend of mine gave me. If I can find a handsome guy to be engaged to the girl he designates, everyone can get a commission! You don't have to really get married, just find a chance to break the engagement, and there is no limit to the number of people. This means that you can collect money for every person you are engaged, including aristocratic women, and you can also make a name for yourself, and you can gain fame and fortune without losing anything. What do you think?"
Tong En calculated well.
Matthew picked up the pen and didn't sign it, but wrote it. He handed the letter to Tong En. "Miss Tong En, you may have been deceived, this is a report letter that can be handed over to any law enforcement team. A typical pyramid-type marriage fraud is used a lot on the road. With new debts to pay off old debts and roll over more and more, in the end, this man will not only lose a large amount of engagement money, but because of his bad reputation, there are fewer and fewer women who can flirt, and the scope is narrower and narrower, and the end is bankruptcy and trapped to death by the last fiancée. ”
“...... I ......"
Matthew smiled kindly and said, "Have you been in the library for too long? ”
Tong En was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes, she has always lied to people, how can she be deceived!
"Don't believe me?" Matthew sighed, "I'll test you with a simple question." How much is 20,000 plus 20,000?"
"Forty thousand. ”
"What about 40,000 by 80,000?"
"Three hundred and twenty thousand. ”
"Please be careful to live. ”
Tong En tilted his head and muttered as he walked back, completely unaware of what was wrong with Four-Eighty-Thirty-Two.
Fierdin sat next to Matthew and Adele.
She asks Matthew and Adele to look at each other for 4 minutes. Matthew agreed, and Adele was fighting for her life.
And then nothing happened. "Weird? It says in the book that two people who have feelings for each other will fall in love after looking at each other for 4 minutes?" Fieldine scratched her head and muttered, and then said to Adele, "Forget it...... Are you ready?"
Adele nodded vigorously, then took out a piece of cake.
"Ah, thank you very much. But don't you like strawberry flavors?"
"Well, but I know you like salt, so I didn't put strawberries on it, but cater to your taste. Hope you will like it. ”
"I've always loved the cakes you make. ”
Matthew finished eating the cake and didn't send anything. "Weird? Obviously, the book says that putting aside your own tastes to cater to the other party can move the other party?" Fiertin scratched his head to resist, and then winked at Adele.
"Are ......you sure you want to do this?"
"Trust me, the closer the book says, the easier it is to increase favorability!"
Adele is bitter. She had no choice but to obey Fiertin's instructions, and sat down in Matthew's arms as she had been told in advance. In front of the public, an unmarried girl sat in the arms of an unmarried young man, on her lap, really, really ......! To be honest, Adele was also out of the way.
Matthew felt very shocked, didn't want to say anything, and silently pressed the three gold coins on the table. This is the market price.
Adele didn't want to say anything, and sat back in silence. Want to die.
But it's written in the book...... Fierdin was dragged away by the women and replaced by Elizabeth.
Actually, Elizabeth is also a trick.
For reasons of laziness, Elizabeth didn't plan to do it herself, but Matthew was so difficult that she had no choice but to kill this kid herself. Anyway, she will never show mercy!
Elizabeth's method was very simple and rude: she used her mouth to read out Matthew and Adele's inner thoughts at the moment, exposing their hearts and minds naked. This extremely inhumane method can be called cruel, which is why the women are reluctant to make Elizabeth act in the first place.
Elizabeth read Adele's heart: "Like you, like you, like you, like you, like you, like you......!" Adele has already stuck her head under the table, if this thing is not successful, it is better to die.
Elizabeth read Matthew's heart: "Like you, like you, like you, like you, like you......!"
Surprisingly, Matthew actually likes each other too!
Isn't this a joy for both people? Great!
The women were just about to stand up and applaud to congratulate the lover, when suddenly, Elizabeth dug deep into her heart and read out: "I want to cherish you forever!" and "I want to follow you forever!"
Seems like the taste has changed a bit?
Matthew looked a little embarrassed, scratched his head, stretched out his hand to Gentleman Adele with a little embarrassment, and asked, "Actually, I was going to say it before I came, but I never had a chance to ...... Would you like to join the Witch's Sigh as a regular helper?"
"I do. ”
Adele pear blossoms with rain. When these three words were finally spoken, this was the case. Helpers are the non-combatants who accompany the adventurer's squad, most often locksmiths, backpackers, guides, and even carpenters.
Standing stupidly in place, Elizabeth was a little confused. Just now, they obviously expressed their hearts to each other, what they liked, why did they go back to work?
Margaret finally rushed back, and saw that the sisters were dead and defeated one by one, and had a general understanding of the situation. She pressed Matthew's shoulder and said earnestly, "There is a girl who says she likes you and wants to marry you, don't you have any idea at all?"
"Yes. Matthew replied, "Am I crazy to get married?"
"Uh...... In fact, it's okay not to get married, you can take her to enjoy freedom and wander the world together, she is willing!"
"Am I crazy, and the waves are still burdensome?"
“...... Even if that girl says she's willing to give you everything she has, including youth, body and mind, everything!"
"Am I crazy, do I believe in this old routine? I used to send my sisters to cheat money, and all those bad old men said so. ”
"But that girl, she ......!"
Margaret was excited.
Matthew covered Margaret's mouth.
"Don't talk about it, no matter how sincere you are, I'm afraid that the president will break my legs. ”
"I, I, I......!"
Margaret was dragged down by the women, and she was so angry that she couldn't do it. She hugged Alyssa, who patted her back and comforted: Don't worry, I'll avenge you. Wait.
Alyssa stepped forward and followed the topic just now: "Matthew, since you invited Adele to be a regular helper, shouldn't you teach her a little self-defense?"
Matthew nodded, and then followed Alyssa's guidance to practice simple self-defense techniques with Adele on the spot.
In fact, it was a very simple action - Matthew pretended to be a gangster and hugged Adele from behind, and then Adele bent down and threw Matthew out. Self-defense is not important, the important thing is that Matthew should hug Adele tightly, and deeply realize from the aspect of body temperature and body fragrance that this is a young girl. Female!
Adele understands it, so naturally she won't immediately throw Matthew out with a big back. She didn't have enough strength, the throwing action didn't go well, and she deliberately rubbed it, and she was slow to stay in Matthew's arms - guess what happened to Matthew? After all, he had played fake boxing in the casino before, and with a bang, this kid used his own feet and fell to the floor with a thud, as if Adele, who had not moved at all, had the strength to pull out the mountains.
Finding that this didn't work, Alyssa instructed the two to turn around, with Adele taking the initiative to hug Matthew and then fall out. This time the initiative was on Adele, and Matthew couldn't fake a fall out - guess what? Matthew's impregnable defense actually made it impossible for Adele to get close!
Adele is no more. Not only was he mentally dying, but he was so tired that he couldn't hold Matthew once......
"No, don't do self-defense exercises!Let's cultivate the trust of the team!Trust is the most important thing!" Alyssa changed her guidance again, "Adele, you go and stand on the table, cover your eyes with a cloth, and then open your arms and jump down. If Matthew doesn't catch you, you'll fall the floor, and if you catch it, you'll be fine. ”
"Good...... Okay!"
This is really not good, Matthew can really do something that would rather let the other party fall to the ground than hug, but Adele is completely out of the way!
Adele jumps!
Either be embraced by Matthew or eaten by a dog, choose one of the two!
And guess what?
Click, click! Matthew grabbed Adele's arm with one hand and dragged Adele's stomach with the other, holding her whole body in mid-air!
Alyssa is really going crazy, her mental state is already bleaker than Adele's, but she still doesn't give up. "Strength! Strength training!" Alyssa pulled out her usual push-up workouts and yelled, "Let Adele do weighted push-ups on your back." Let me see your perseverance!" The intent was very obvious, and every time Matthew went up and down, Adele's chest would cling to Matthew's back.
"Good instructor!"
So Matthew showed that he was not only talented but also the result of his hard work - his hands fell to the ground, and with an excellent sense of balance, Adele stood on his feet, and did ten in a row! A lot of physical training that has been done by adventurers all this time is actually slapped in the face at this time.
All killed.
The mission was almost communicated, and Matthew happily stood up with the half-dead Adele, ready to leave the "Dragon Pavilion". The opportunity is gone.
Fumei looked left and right, and there was no one around to fight, so he stepped forward: "I'll try!"
When Adele was about to leave, she had a lot of materials and miscellaneous items in her hands. Fumei quietly lowered her head and slammed her horns into Adele's back. Feeling a pain, Adele suddenly realized that she was falling into Matthew's arms, so she closed her eyes and waited for a hug.
With that, Matthew quickly reached out to catch all the scattered materials and debris, and picked up Adele, who was about to fall, with his foot, and returned to his position.
Then put everything back into Adele's hands, just like a high-level acrobat.
Taking advantage of the situation,
Fumei slammed her head into Adele, slammed Matthew and Adele into the utility room not far away, and then quickly locked the door. A perfect cramped little dark room was made for the two of them to be alone.
Click, Matthew picks the lock open. How could such a small wooden door close Matthew.
Fumei still didn't give up, and continued to lower his head and bump into him, intending to hit Matthew, so that the two hugged each other and even kissed each other by chance at the moment of falling. The intentions are good.
A regular backstab won't work for Matthew. He turned around and tied the leg of mutton with a napkin, and with a thud, Fumei fell under the table and chair.
In this regard, Matthew finally became suspicious, scratched his head and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Receptionist?"
"Who knows......" replied Adele, looking up to the sky, "probably desperate to hit the wall......
