Chapter 42: Parasites
Is there anyone in the world who can fit enough rice for a hundred adults and a dish for seventy-five adults in half an hour? No. Of course, neither can the pen, the fun, the www.biquge.info Leo, and the reason why he has been able to do this is of course thanks to the egg in the body of our Lord Bishop. Of course, it must be seriously pointed out that the eggs are located in the body and not under the crotch, and there are not two eggs but only one.
Let's start at the beginning with what happened at the restaurant.
Undoubtedly, when a person who has been asleep in bed for three days wakes up, the first thing that comes to mind is of course only - to eat. Leo was no exception, so he went to the restaurant as soon as he could, and found that the chef in the restaurant had already begun to prepare Chinese food for the church. So of course, our bishop unceremoniously found a table and began to enjoy the freshly cooked rice and hot dishes.
But Leo's eating has a big problem. He quickly wiped out a bowl of rice and a plate of stir-fried beef, and two pig's trotters, but the hunger in his stomach did not diminish in the slightest! So Leo served another bowl of rice and asked the chef to stir-fry two more dishes, which soon entered his stomach, but something strange happened - Leo felt even more hungry!
So bowls and bowls of rice and dishes kept swallowing into Leo's stomach, and Leo kept eating, but his stomach became more hungry, and the hunger in his mind became more intense, as if all the food he ate was not absorbed by his body at all! The reason is simple - all the energy contained in these foods has been robbed of the white egg in his body!
So although Leo seems to be eating happily on the surface, he doesn't even have time to say a word, but in fact, there is nothing else in his mind except the overwhelming hunger, if it weren't for the white dome suddenly stopped intercepting food energy, I'm afraid that Leo, who was already hungry to the limit, would have become the first person in history to faint from hunger while eating.
After stopping eating, the first thing Leo noticed was not the deacon in front of him who was chattering to him in the voice of a housewife, but something else—he was already able to communicate with the white dome in his mind with his consciousness.
"Hey, Xiaobai. You just heard the deacon babbling and complaining, if you eat like this, I'm going to go bankrupt for you! Leo grumbled at the white egg that was in his mind. After discovering that he was able to communicate with the egg, the first thing Leo did was to take a nickname. That's right, Xiaobai is the nickname he gave to this white dome.
"Bankrupt?" There was obvious doubt in Xiaobai's tone, although he had been able to communicate with Leo in the first place, but obviously lacked a concept of money. But this is also normal, has anyone ever seen an egg that costs money?
Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes, apparently the young cardinal also realized how stupid it was to talk about money with an egg, so he decided to get straight to the point: "If you eat like this, I'll kill you!" ”
"Dead?" Xiaobai was obviously even more puzzled, obviously this innocent egg didn't figure out why eating and death were related.
"All in all, you can't get your energy anymore by making me eat and drink like a pig!" Leo said viciously in his heart, obviously very unhappy with the experience of being watched by everyone with very curious eyes, and more importantly, he had just learned from the mouth of the church deacon Morata that the reason why there was so much food today was a coincidence, if there was not so much food to eat that day, wouldn't it be starving to death?
Therefore, Leo's opposition is not only very resolute, but also carries the meaning of threats, dissatisfaction, grievances and ruin.
"Okay." It seems that feeling Leo's determination, or for some other reason, Xiaobai finally agreed to Leo, but it soon made a new request: "Energy, need, more." ”
Leo felt like he was going crazy. Obviously, he is just a magic apprentice with dreams but no talent, and the end of his life should have been to do chores by the side of the Bard magician, and then find an ordinary girl to marry and have children, and finally spend his life peacefully.
But now Leo has not only become a pawn of the mysterious Sanctuary powerhouse Lei Feng, but he has to come to pretend to be the bishop of the dead Anthony according to Lei Feng's instructions, and there is also Darwin, a middle-level master who has signed a soul slavery contract with Lei Feng, who is closely monitored 24 hours a day, and he must always be on guard against being hunted down by the adjudicators of the Holy See due to the leakage of his identity, and now there is an extra parasite in his body!
That's right, it's parasites! Although I don't know what kind of creature this egg named Xiaobai is, this guy not only lives in his own body, but also absorbs his own power when he cultivates, and even the energy contained in the food he eats does not let go, this is not a parasite! Leo became more and more angry when he thought about it, so angry that he consciously or unintentionally ignored the fact that since the battle between Lito Mountain and Anthony, Xiaobai had already saved him three times.
Of course, anger is anger, and what needs to be done still has to be done. For Leo, who has just experienced a nightmare lunchtime, the most urgent time at the moment is undoubtedly to find a way to find enough power to satisfy Xiaobai in his body - if he feeds on vegetables, fruits, rice, and meat, then Xiaobai feeds on strength, and Leo has just seen what a hungry Xiaobai can do, Leo doesn't want to pin his life on the promise of an egg - that will make him feel stupider than a pig.
Then the question arises, where to find the powerful forces? Leo used his brain to think carefully, of course, power cannot exist out of thin air, and its carrier is either a treasure or a person. Treasures usually have one characteristic, that is, they are expensive. So of course, Leo, who was so poor that he jingled, could only focus on "people".
In fact, this powerful "person" also has to meet some requirements. First of all, this person's strength must be strong enough, at least to meet Xiao Bai's needs, and judging from the information from Xiao Bai's feedback, all intermediate and junior level cultivators meet this requirement—well, it's not too picky.
Secondly, as a blue-clothed bishop of the Church of Light, of course he can't casually catch a cultivator to devour his power - what are you kidding, not to mention whether Leo, who only has first-level strength, can catch a cultivator, even if he really catches it, as long as the matter is exposed, then the adjudicator from the Holy See will definitely appear in front of Leo as soon as possible.
Don't forget the first two words in the word Church of Light - light. In many cases, light can be equated with justice, and things like devouring the power of others can undoubtedly only be rejected by justice.
Therefore, on the whole, Leo must find a cultivator who has enough strength and can justifiably devour the power in his body, and at the same time, the most important point - he must be the object that Leo can defeat. Is there such a candidate?
Yes, and there are two more.
These two candidates are, of course, the black-clad wizard and the female assassin who narrowly escaped the battle in the alley a few days ago. Whether it is from the perspective of his own safety, the interests of the church, and the needs of Xiaobai, Leo has enough legitimate reasons and motivation to search for and eliminate the two escaped fish.
And Leo can also bring Darwin and Morata, two powerful thugs, openly, you must know that in the alley battle, none of the four men in black are the opponents of the three people on Leo's side, so the strength of the wizard in black and the female assassin who are only two at the moment is naturally not to worry. So now only one last question remains - how to find the black wizard and the female assassin?
"Morata!" Leo interrupted the deacon, who was still chattering in his ear, and said to Morata, who was looking at him with a bitter expression of hatred, "I need you to go to the sheriff of the city at once, and ask him to put up a notice throughout the city of Varna and all the villages in the parish to reward the two heretics who escaped in the battle in the alley that day, and do it immediately!" ”
"No need." Darwin, who was on the sidelines, suddenly said: "They are in the village of Resler. ”
Leo Huo Ran turned his head and stared at the Templar with blazing eyes: "Are you sure?" ”
Darwin nodded.
"Good." Leo didn't ask Darwin how he got the information, nor did he go too far into the veracity of the information. It was already clear that if Darwin had been guarding himself for the past few days, it would have been impossible for him to search for traces of the black wizard and the female assassin. Moreover, Darwin, like himself, was unfamiliar with the Varna Parish, so his source of information could only come from one person - the mysterious powerhouse with whom he signed a contract of soul servitude, Lei Feng.
"You know where the village of Ressler is, right?" Leo asked as he turned to Morata.
"Yes," Morata nodded, then said, "But—"
"Nothing!" Leo interrupted Morata again: "You, I and Darwin, let's go to the village of Ressler at once!" ”
