Chapter 180: Miss Lu
Pucas hung his head, closed his eyes gently, and pleaded, "Kill me!" ”
"Kill you, how stupid are you for me? The death of a priest is not an easy matter, and I don't want the town of Guna to welcome the Inspector of the Holy See of Light one day. www.biquge.infoBesides, what good is it for me that you are dead, you are a person respected by the people of the whole town. All I want is your secret, not your life. ”
Pukas was a little decadent: "But this secret is as important as my life." ”
Ji Ran was also a little helpless, "Why are you so dead-eyed, as long as you don't say it, I won't say it, who can prove that you told me these things." Let's be honest, you're still very useful to me, and I won't let you be killed by those people in the Bright Sect so easily, on the contrary, if possible, I will help you rise step by step. ”
"I think you must know something about the inside story of the Holy See of Light, after all, you and your brother were both adopted and cultivated by the Holy See. And you finally prevented your brother from becoming a priest, if you didn't know some things in the Holy See, a person who has been brainwashed by theology since childhood should regard becoming a clergyman as his greatest wish in his life, instead of preventing his brother from fulfilling this wish. ”
"Think about your brother again, he's still young, although I don't know why you want him to stay in the blacksmith all the time, but there must be something you mean in this, or do you want him to stay in the blacksmith all the time and never come out?"
"Forget it, if you really don't want to talk about it, I won't talk nonsense. Then I'll do it myself, first trick your brother into gouging out his eyes, then his tongue, and then ...... Just cut the kidney, anyway, there are two kidneys in the human body, and if there is one less, it will not die, but it is a little weak. Do you know where the kidneys are? I'm just ......" Ji Ran's fingers roamed over Pucas's body, and she was trying to recall the diagram of the location of human organs in biology class.
"What do you want to know...... Pucas's voice was full of pain and exhaustion.
Ji Ran was stunned, Pukas compromised like this? She thought that she had to get some fingers and toes or something to show him in order to pry his mouth open, but she didn't expect that it was just talking, and the other party actually took it seriously.
Then he heard Pucas say, "Ask whatever you want to know, but please don't force me on some things, even if you really kill our two brothers, I won't say those things." ”
Ji Ran pouted, and in the end, it was just a selective cooperation.
The kind of beads taken from people are called soul crystals, simple and bloody names, but they are easy to understand. In this world, just as Warcraft has a magic core, humans also have soul crystals. Just as the stronger the Warcraft Core, the better, the stronger the human being, the more precious the soul crystal.
On the surface, the temples help their own gods to compete for their own believers, as if they want to obtain offerings and doctrinal inheritance, but in fact, what those clergy care about most is that if they bring over a believer, they will get an extra soul crystal. Even in the promotion evaluation of the clergy, the number of soul crystals collected accounts for a large part.
"Soul crystallization? It's a terrible name, and I might as well name it. Ji Ran muttered as he took out a bead and looked at it through the sun, and felt that the soul jade sounded much better than the soul crystal, "Then how to use this thing?" ”
"I don't know." Pucas's answer this time was crisp.
"You don't know?" Ji Ran raised his tone, "Your Bright Sect will not collect it as an ornament after spending so much effort, right?" ”
"I really didn't know, I only passed the exam three years ago and officially became a priest, and then I was assigned to Guna Town. I hardly go out in the town of Gunna, and I only go to Hermadon once a year on God's Birthday to hand in the Soul Crystal, so how do I know how this thing is used? ”
Ji Ran thought about it, and his words made sense, but she was not satisfied with this answer. When Ji Xuan compared soul jade to a magic core, Ji Ran had done an experiment to see if they could also be embedded in weapons, but naturally failed.
Pukas hesitated, "However, there seems to be a book related to soul crystallization in the Tower of Divine Word in the Temple of Helmadon. ”
"These things will be recorded in books?" Ji Ran's faint tone was full of suspicion. I don't know, she doesn't blame her. But don't blame her for cheating.
"Or not a book," Pucas began, "it's a notebook." Before I was assigned to the town of Guna, I worked for two months as an assistant in the Tower of the Sacred Word, cleaning and tidying up. I remember one time, a priest took us to the top of the Tower of the Word and helped him find a book. I stumbled upon the notebook as I was rummaging, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and the priest was standing by and supervising us to help him find the book, so I quickly put it back on the shelf. ”
Ji Ran's eyes lit up: "Then you bring that note to me, why, why is your face so ugly, okay, okay, I know that you are a great priest, don't be a thief, then you take me, and I will 'take' it myself." ”
Pukas smiled bitterly: "Tower of the Sacred Word...... I don't even have the right to enter the Tower of the Word, let alone take you with me. ”
Ji Ran was silent, she didn't know much about the affairs of the Holy See of Light, and when she heard Pucas's words, she was afraid that the Sacred Word Tower was not ordinary.
"Why? Why do you care so much about these soul crystals? Pukas was really puzzled, even if Ji Ran accidentally found such a thing, he didn't have to chase it so hard.
Ji Ran quietly avoided this question, and now the initiative is on her, and she naturally doesn't want to answer.
Pukas said in a deep voice: "If you touch the interests of the Holy See, you will become an enemy of the Holy See, aren't you afraid?" ”
"Afraid?" Ji Ran raised his voice, "If anyone harms the interests of the Holy See, aren't you Priest Pukas among them?" ”
As she spoke, she let out a sneer: "You want to say that I forced you, but shouldn't you clergy only have God in your heart?" No ego, no loved ones, no right or wrong......"
Pukas said word by word: "If there really was no right or wrong in my heart, you would not know this by now!" ”
Hearing Pucas's words, Ji Ran's eyes were full of doubts, what secrets did Pucas's heart have that would make him feel that these were wrong?
——————————————————————————————————————
Pucas woke up from his coma, blinked, and it took a long time for some fragments to come to mind, Crowsby...... Ji Ran...... Soul shards ......!
Sitting up suddenly, "I...... I...... I actually said ......"
The loving male voice laughed and said, "My dear Pucas, what do you say? ”
Pucas shuddered when he heard this voice, and his hands clenched into fists on his knees, and the green tendons on the back of his hands appeared, and it was a long time before he shouted in a dry voice, "Great Priest of Bauer." ”
A man with gray hair and no wrinkles slowly approached Pucas, he didn't seem to notice that Pucas was wrong, he lowered his head and kissed Pucas lightly on his forehead, "Pucas, my dear child, you have a nightmare. ”
"I ......," said Pucas, when he looked up, and saw a young girl standing beside High Priest Bauer, with this white hair, a pair of large, sparkling blue eyes, and most importantly, a face that resembled that of Ji Ran.
Voiceless...... Voiceless...... Only a fainting sensation rushed from the soles of Pucas's feet to his head, and his mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water, but not a single sound could be uttered.
"It's great that Mr. Pucas has finally woken up, and my heart is finally steady." The girl's hands naturally hung down, and there was a deep concern on her face, but there was no emotion in her eyes, so two extreme emotions actually appeared on the same face.
Bauer stood in front of the girl, with his back to the girl at the moment, naturally not noticing her abnormality, but Pucas saw it really.
Good - so scary!
"I, what's wrong with me?" Pucas finally squeezed out a sentence.
Bauer laughed and said, "You were unconscious in the desert, but fortunately, Miss Lu was clever and found a caravan at the nearest water source, which brought you both safely to Hermadon." ”
Lu ...... Miss Lu ......, "Pukas didn't know if he was too weak or too surprised, and he couldn't even tell a testimony.
"Mr. Pucas, it's all my fault, I went into the desert without bringing enough water, and after you gave me water, I fell ill because of lack of water. It's all my fault, I'm sorry. The girl bent down deeply and apologized to Pucas, which startled Pucas.
"High Priest Bauer, Priest Vivien of Weathertown has arrived, and she said she wanted to meet you." A man in the robe of a probationary priest stood outside the door and whispered.
High Priest Bauer looked at Pucas, who had woken up, and seemed to be much more relieved, so he said to the girl: "I will be absent first, Miss Lu is a guest from afar from the Great Sui Empire, and there must be no place to go in Hermadon, after all, the hostel outside is still too complicated, not suitable for you as a single woman, it is better to continue to stay in the temple room temporarily." ”
"I do have to stay in Hurmarton for a few more days, so you're welcome, thank you for your kindness."
"You're welcome, just stay in peace, and may the God of Light be with you and me." High Priest Bauer smiled lovingly, turned and left the room with the probationary priest
In the end, there were only two people left in the room.
“……”
“……”
Seeing the girl's gradually indifferent face, Pukas spoke up first, "...... your hair and eyes?" ”
"I asked a friend for a little favor, and it became like this."
"You are a god forsaken, and you dare to come to the Temple of Light alone?!"
"Who said I was a human being? Aren't you human? I came in with you, Priest Pucas, and I was invited all the way in! Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and tell me where the Tower of the Word is? (To be continued.) )
