Chapter 5 Games
Capracirin was not happy.
Very unpleasant.
Still, she picked up the comms.
A figure emerged from the room, dressed in a white robe trimmed with gold trim, with a sturdy face and a look so deep that it seemed to be able to read people's hearts.
Contemporary Pope, Innocent's holographic projection.
"Miss Capracillin." He nodded to Kapacillin, then looked at Asker, "Your Excellency, we meet again. β
"What are you doing here, Your Majesty?" Kapacirin said unhappily.
"I'll persuade you." Innocent replied.
"We didn't quarrel." Capracille frowned.
"If I don't come, it will be soon." "And it's not a fight, it's a fight." β
Capacille clapped her hands, and the "Golden Head" mercenaries who had been hiding outside the door quickly dispersed.
"Your Excellency Asker, I think Capacilline has already told you about the history of the Licinian family." Innocent's projection had a faint smile, "I hope you can understand that intimidation, inducement, and constant pressure are just one of the means they use to negotiate, and they are not really malicious to you." β
Could it be that the mercenaries outside the door are also actors? Aske complained in his heart. With his intuitive ability, he had already sensed some kind of danger coming from outside the door, although it was not very inconspicuous.
"I certainly wouldn't really hurt my sister's fiancΓ©." Capacillin said coldly, "What's more, this is a family matter of our Licinian family, Your Majesty the Holy See. β
"So Asker has agreed to marry the Licinies?" Innocent glanced at Aske and smiled, "I don't think so, the hour hand of Giotto's Clock hasn't jumped yet." β
Asker: ???
If I don't marry Nola, what does it matter to your doomsday bell?
"So what are you here for?" Kapacillin folded her arms and asked coldly.
Of course, she knew about the incident with Giotto's Clock some time ago, so she was even more angry at Innocent's interference at this time.
"Let's talk about business." Innocent said succinctly, "Your Excellency, the task I entrusted you with was beautifully accomplished. As for the promised reward, please come to the Lateran Palace to receive it. β
"Can't you send someone here, Your Majesty?" Capracillin asked rhetorically.
"I can't." Innocent said, "Oh, bring Nora with you." Bishop Valyan has been busy with a project lately and can't get home, so I would like to ask you to bring his sister he hasn't seen in a long time and bring them together. β
"I'm so busy with projects that I don't have time to go home for an hour?" Capracillin's tone was sarcastic.
"Of course. After all, the Licinius family's creed is 'never let go of what you want', isn't it? Innocent retorted lightly.
Capracillin choked up, and she actually knew what kind of virtue her eldest brother had when he started a scientific research topic that he was interested in.
"So be it." The Pope's projection slams his scepter to the ground, then hangs up and disappears.
"Hmph." Capacille snorted coldly and looked back at Asker.
This guy ...... Don't talk about anything else, as long as Nora likes it, the Licinius family doesn't care. But his deterrent level with Raphael, why is it R4? Even the Pope could risk offending the Licinian family and come to his aid?
In any case, for the sake of Nola's future happiness, the Licinius family will not let go easily. It's just that in this way, a lot of overtly tough measures can't be used.
It seems that I still have to take some time, bring my eldest brother with me, and talk to the old thing of the Pope.
"Tea?" Capacille asked, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window of her office, folded her arms.
"Thanks, no." Asker, of course, knew that this meant "send-off", so he took his leave with humor.
He pushed the door out, and as soon as he closed the door behind him, he heard the old man who was the butler next to him say:
"Oh, Lord Asker, so you have rejected Miss Carpathicline's kindness?"
"Sort of." Asker said with a smile. He can't afford this "kindness".
"Miss Capracillin has a strong personality, but she is still very cautious in dealing with Miss Nola." The old man of the housekeeper whispered, "If you really agreed to her request without hesitation when we met her for the sake of the power and wealth of the Licinius family, she must have been very disappointed, right?" β
Asker understood what he meant, that is, on the one hand, Capracillin took the name of the "Licinian family" to test his true motives for pursuing Nola; On the other hand, he deliberately behaved aggressively to arouse his self-esteem, for fear that he would really agree to prove that the character of the man Nora liked was not very good.
Really, is it necessary? But since the housekeeper opened his mouth to remind, it means that he has passed the first level......
β¦β¦ Wait, is it just the first level!!
Just as Aske was taking the elevator down with all his heart, in the entertainment room on the 36th floor, Mia and Mi'er, who were lying in the VR holographic game cabin, were having fun in the virtual world.
"Ahhhh Zombie Zombie! Mia screams excitedly as she smashes the zombie's head with a baseball bat full of nails.
"Don't scream so loudly, okay?" Mi'er kept the pistol firing, and suddenly shouted in fright, "Wait, don't use the instant!" β
Before the words fell, Mia had already rushed out in an instant.
Then there was a "bang" and it hit the wall.
"Ah, it hurts."
"Really." Mi'er ran to her side, "The virtual world is different from the real world! β
"Not really!" Mia got up from the ground and said, "That's because my moments are memorized by muscles!" That's why it's easy to lose control when manipulating the body of this virtual world! β
"Forget it, let's play another game." Mi'er called out the system menu, exited the game with Mia, and returned to the game lobby, "Do you want to play audio games?" β
"The lightsaber slashing block? Forget it, you can't play with me. Mia pouted and said, "What about a plumber who doesn't work properly?" β
"The red and green camisoles are so ugly." Mi'er said, "Miracle_Warm? β
"Isn't MW a dress-up game?" Mia said, "If you want to change your clothes, why not go to reality?" β
"In reality, it costs money to buy clothes." Mi'er said.
"Sister Nora has money."
"That's not your money either."
The two little ones were chattering and talking, and suddenly they heard a snap of their fingers next to them.
A figure in a black robe appeared in the game hall. Mia subconsciously protected Mi'er behind her, and the two of them did not hesitate to touch the weapon at the same time.
Then I felt empty and remembered that I was in the game world.
"Don't be afraid, both." The black-robed man spread his hands and signaled that he had no weapon in his hand.
"Who are you? Why is it here? Mi'er asked vigilantly, "Visitors are not allowed to enter the private game hall without permission...... You hacked into our terminal? β
"Two, it's Mia and Mi'er, right?" The black-robed man didn't answer her question, but just lowered his hands again and chuckled:
"I want to play a game with you."
