Chapter Twenty-Four: An Unexpected Invitation
Lan didn't find Athena, the female necromancer, who didn't leave any trace of her even when she looked down. [Full text reading.]
Luo Lan had no choice but to turn back. When he returned to the temple, as he expected, the battle between the two sides was over, and the only flaw was that the pesky elf of Frosandros had not been killed, and he was now lazily lying on the trunk of a tree dozing, with a hint of saliva still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Hodilk was still the same deep and melancholy appearance, and there was no trace of any hand to be found on his body, but he sat on the rock, but his figure looked a little tired against the background of the setting sun and the evening breeze.
Xi Jiesi greeted her first, bowed and said, "My lord!"
Luo Lan smiled and nodded slightly, but suddenly realized that he turned his eyes and Daphne looked at him with concern, but the former knew that she was actually concerned about the whereabouts of the Holy Blood.
Luo Lan looked around at everyone, gathered all his eyes on himself, and finally smiled slightly, took out an ordinary porcelain bottle from the space ring, and then said a few words lightly, and the process of getting the holy blood in his hand was lightly brushed aside.
Devany first showed a happy look, then frowned, she walked over, took the bottle from Luo Lan's hand, and said in a condensed voice: "This is a porcelain bottle." β
"Yes," Luo Lan's expression was a little puzzled: "Is there something wrong?I have already seen that it is indeed filled with golden blood, it should be holy blood." β
Daphne shook her head slightly, and she uncorked the bottle. He tilted the bottle in the light, sighed slightly, and said, "The Holy Blood is indeed true, but it has been poured away a lot. She pointed to the bottle and said, "This porcelain vase is very ordinary, and the bottle installed in the Holy Blood Land should be a precious porcelain from the East, they ...... Still succeeded. β
"What?" Luo Lan made a look of surprise.
"You can't be blamed for that, Reverend Lanton," Devany reassured him softly. She said softly, "You've done enough for us, and under your arrangement, it's very lucky that the Holy Blood hasn't been completely taken away. She pondered for a moment, and said in a solemn tone, "It seems that I must report this matter to the chief monk." β
Luo Lan secretly sneered. Yes, you should go and report it.
The reason why he came back with such an ordinary porcelain vase was to reveal the news to the Monks' Council that the Council of the Dead had obtained the blood of the saints.
He wants to further stimulate the contradiction between the two.
Huh? Luo Lan froze for a moment. Because he felt that Devina was watching him, did she suspect me?
"What is your faith, Reverend Lanton?" said Daphne softly.
"Faith?" Luo Lan didn't expect her to suddenly ask himself this question, he could have made up dozens of answers at once. But when the words came to his lips, he hesitated, and his heart became confused. What is your own belief? Trance is only a momentary thing. His eyes suddenly became firm and sharp again. He smiled and said, "Since the day I became a priest, the three tenets of kindness, fearlessness, and perseverance have been my guiding beacon in the turbid sea. β
Daphne nodded. Her soft gaze touched Luo Lan slightly, revealing a sweet smile, and said, "What you have done has not only interpreted it, but also made me see the brilliance I have always wanted to see more than once." β
Luo Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "Radiance?"
He was still vigilant. What the hell are you trying to say, Daphne?
Devany nodded earnestly, she turned her head to look at the distant peaks of the clouds, the thick clouds held up the ethereal glow in the evening scene, and she whispered, "Yes, Radiance, isn't it what you are doing to uphold the teachings of God and maintain order and law?"
Luo Lan smiled and shook his head: "I know very well that I am just an ordinary pastor, and as a clergyman, upholding the truth is just a duty entrusted to me by God. β
He had vaguely guessed what Devernie wanted to say, but he was not sure in his heart, and he had to respond vaguely.
"But some people are destined to be ordinary," Devany looked at Luo Lan very sincerely, stretched out her white hand, and said, "Pastor Langton, I invite you to join the Monks' Society. β
Luo Lan's heart beat suddenly, he didn't think about this possibility, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, he looked into the distance, Rommels, is it your soul that is guiding me on the road of revenge?
In his original idea, he wanted to imperceptibly infiltrate his shadow into the latter's mind, does this mean that his first step has been successful?
But another sane voice told him,
There are not many people who have lost her fiancΓ©, who was originally the most powerful in this part of Sedaon, and now she can rely on it as an arm pillow, and Florsanders is a person who cannot be reassured, and Hodirke is obviously here to help, so the only one left who has the strength and is in the same camp as her Luo Lan is already a trustworthy person after experiencing several dangers together, and in this case, it is natural to pull herself into the ship of the Monks.
Luo Lan made a look of surprise at the right time, and said humbly: "I once heard you say that the people who join the Monks Guild are not people with prestige and status on the mainland, and they still have to go through some tests?"
Devany shook her head and smiled, "Isn't the battle against the Council of the Dead a test for you, and besides, we need an upright and selfless warrior." β
Luo Lan laughed and said, "Honest and selfless, you are talking about a paladin?" In fact, he suddenly thought of Flosanders, who was also a member of the Monks' Society, and if he was evaluated by this word, it would be like a golden arrow hitting a grass target, and a phoenix feather paired with a pigsty, which made him feel extremely incongruous and ridiculous.
Meimu looked at him deeply and said, "No, I'm talking about a priest. β
Luo Lan looked at Daphne Ru's comment quietly, and although his heart was full of conspiracy and lies flowing with the darkness, he still nodded slowly.
Joining the Monks is not just as simple as an invitation from Daphne, but also requires the recognition and recommendation of some high-qualified monks, or doing something that will contribute to the monks, so if Luo Lan wants to join without resistance, from now on he must be tied to Daphne's chariot, he raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, Daphne is not a scheming person.
At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a fleeting light passing through the dense forest not far away.
The corners of his eyes tugged unnaturally.
That's not an illusion, it's a code.
It was the code he had agreed with Niltina.
However, they had only been separated for less than half a day, did she have the clue she wanted so quickly? Or was there some accident?
After thinking about it, he felt that he still couldn't ignore it.
So he made an excuse to part with Devine quietly, and after a few more words with Cezence, he went into the woods.
In good conscience, Niltina was an excellent beauty, and he would have been happy to find this beauty, but the time and place were not right.
For such a meeting, it is like sprinkling pepper on the anxious mood, which makes it even more restless and angry.
The thick leaves creaked under his feet, and he came to the spot where the light was emitted, and found the dark mark left on the tree, and after several repetitions, at last, a curvaceous figure leaped into his sight from the branch like a mermaid.
"Tell me, something. Luo Lan looked around vigilantly, and at no time would he let his guard down.
Niltina's expression was unusual, she came up and tried to pull Luo Lan's hand, and said hurriedly: "Come with me!"
Luo Lan took a cautious step back, looked her up and down, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"
Niltina looked very anxious, she stamped her foot, and said, "Do you want to know the secret of the Holy Blood? I'll take you now! But you have to take the Holy Blood!"
"What?" Luo Lanhu looked at the other party suspiciously, as if to determine whether the other party was deceiving him or had arranged some trap, he shook his head and said regretfully: "It's a pity that you came one step late, I have already returned the holy blood." β
Niltina didn't believe it at all, and she whispered, "Although we haven't been together for long, I know that you will definitely leave some holy blood in yourself, am I right?"
"Oh, really?"
"I'm afraid it'll be too late if I don't leave!" Niltina looked around anxiously, then turned back to look at Luo Lan, who was still and didn't move, and suddenly came to her senses, she said angrily: "Don't worry, your honorarium hasn't been paid to me yet, and I won't let you fall into any trap." β
Although she could say the same in some cases, such as someone paying her more honorarium, Luo Lan still preferred to believe what she blurted out at the moment, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Okay!"
Niltina took out a delicate pale yellow scroll and said, "Quick! take my hand!"
