Chapter VII Playing Cards
After a night's rest, Ania woke up the next day to see Alexander, Catherine, and Elizabeth staring at her head.
"Are you awake?" Alexander said to Ania again, "We have cured everything you see as a cat's disease." ”
Ania didn't bother to talk nonsense with Alexander, she took pictures of the three little animals, sat up and said, "Catherine, why are you here?" Aren't you supposed to be in Eunice's room? ”
"Andre kicked me out, and Regsy got out with him."
"Huh?" Ania turned her head to see Regsi panting in the corner and said, "Andre, that guy is so bold?" Dare to mess around here in the temple...... You won't peek when he kicks you out? ”
Catherine replied: "Yes, it turned out that he was just talking to Eunice inside, and we left, as if to talk about the future, for example...... By the way, they were thinking about which city to settle in. She also said what she would do if she wasn't an adventurer, and Eunice said that she planned to open a tavern, and Andre said......"
Ania interrupted her and said, "Okay, okay, no need to say it." What about the others? Why don't you go to Zhen Xiang's side? ”
"Zhen Xiang is out." Alexander said, "She was called out by the Templars early this morning, as if to say that the Pope had something to do with her......"
Ania was silent for a while, then picked up the pillow at the head of the bed and threw it at Alexander, saying, "Don't you be mentally retarded, right?" Such an obvious trap, you actually let Zhen Xiang go! Where was Zhen Xiang called?! ”
"How do I know? Wouldn't you find out if you went to someone and asked where the Pope was? Alexander lay on the ground directly and didn't bother to get up, he felt that if something really happened to Zhen Xiang in this temple, the temple itself would definitely not be able to get out of it, and the pope would not be stupid enough to do such a thing.
But Ania is mainly worried that what El Melo II really did to Zhen Xiang won't it be over?
So Catherine went out with Ania and said, "You don't have to be in such a hurry, anyway, doesn't Zhen Xiang still have chili sauce?" As long as there is chili sauce, not many people can hurt Zhen Xiang, do you see that she survived safely after she was captured by Margara before? ”
Margara is Margara, Ermelo II is Ermelo II, humans are often more difficult to deal with and more terrifying than monsters......
Coming out of the house, Ania quickly found a Templar patrolling the temple, and although he might not get any answer if he asked him directly, Ania stepped forward to him and asked, "Do you know where the Pope is over there?" ”
The Templar turned to Ania and said, "Your Excellency?" His Holiness the Pope in the secret basement. ”
Well? Secret basement? If it's all a secret basement, why are you telling it?
Ania was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, but the Templars seemed to see Aniah's confusion and explained, "The secret crypt is the name of the basement, and it is rumored that it was named after the goddess of creation when she built this temple. In fact, it is a well-known basement in the temple, but it has been handed down because the goddess called it so at the beginning. ”
What kind of ghost is this name given by the goddess of creation...... Ania almost thought she was retarded.
"And what's the secret, where's the basement?" Ania said, "I have something to do with the Pope. ”
"I'm going there right now, I'll lead the way."
Was it so lucky? Ania then followed the Templar, and it was only after following him that Ania realized that the Templar was holding something that was meant to be given to Ermelo II.
"What's that...... This ...... in your hand," Ania couldn't help but ask the Templar, "What is this?" ”
As soon as the Templars turned around, Ania was able to see that what he was holding was nothing more than a jar.
The Templar smiled at Ania and said, "This is the candied fruit that the Pope asked me to fetch it, because the Pope had a very happy conversation with Miss Zhen Xiang, so he asked me to get this candied fruit and enjoy it with Miss Zhen Xiang." ”
Have a good conversation? What's the situation? Didn't Ermelo II do anything to Zhen Xiang? Ania and Catherine looked at each other blankly, and then Catherine said, "Maybe you're really worried in vain. ”
No, no, you can't be completely sure of anything unless you see it with your own eyes...... Ania and Catherine followed the Templars to the so-called secret crypt.
When Ania came to the basement, he saw Zhen Xiang and Ermelo II sitting together, with a bunch of strange cards on the table.
After seeing Ania coming, Zhen Xiang said, "Aniah, why are you here?" By the way, how did you know I was here? ”
Ania walked over and sat down unceremoniously and said, "What are you doing here?" What are these weird cards? ”
Zhen Xiang picked up one and explained: "This is a card left by the goddess of creation in the temple, and I am playing cards with the Pope." ”
Ermelo II laughed and said, "I didn't expect Miss Zhen Xiang to know that this kind of card has been known for thousands of years, and many people have wanted to study the meaning of this card, but in the end, they didn't understand the specific purpose of this card. But now Miss Zhen Xiang has taught me the true purpose of this card...... I'm not afraid to joke when I say it, but this thing that the goddess left behind was just created to play games. ”
The so-called cards were the playing cards that could be bought for a dollar in the street store in Zhen Xiang's original world.
Ermelo II originally brought Zhen Xiang here because he recalled it for a long time last night before he realized that Zhen Xiang's hair was actually black, the same as the original black magician. But what is even more concerning is that it is rumored that the goddess of creation also has black hair.
So this made Ermelo II start to wonder if Zhen Xiang, a guy who couldn't find out the background at all, had anything to do with the goddess of creation?
So early this morning, Ermelo II asked people to bring Zhen Xiang over, originally planning to ask about Zhen Xiang's background, but Zhen Xiang immediately recognized the playing cards placed in the basement.
Then Ermelo II asked Zhen Xiang to explain to him the purpose of this playing card, and then pulled Zhen Xiang to play cards in various ways, until Ania and they came over.
"Let's not talk about that, come and try my treasured preserves." It was as if some of Zhen Xiang's relatives were opening the jar and pushing it in front of Zhen Xiang.
Smelling the fragrance of candied fruit wafting out of the jar, Zhen Xiang couldn't care so much, so he directly reached out and grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ania was a little surprised, doesn't this guy really think of himself as an outsider? Don't forget that the purpose of this Ermelo II was only to use them to make Eunice a saint.
But Zhen Xiang didn't care that she couldn't influence Eunice's decision, and they also agreed yesterday that if something happened, Alexander and Catherine would fly away with everyone, she thought that even if Ermelo II had a way to buy herself, there was no way to stop the others. What's more, Zhen Xiang still has absolute confidence that he will not be bought by Ermelo II, so it is better to take this opportunity to have a good meal.
Ania couldn't help it, so she had to eat the candied fruit with her, don't say that this candied fruit is quite delicious.
"But then again, Miss Zhen Xiang, why do you know how to use this card?" Ermelo II still couldn't help but ask Zhen Xiang at this moment.
As soon as he saw that the other party exposed his purpose, Ania poked Zhen Xiang and signaled Zhen Xiang not to talk nonsense, and then said to himself: "This, because Zhen Xiang and my teacher are fellow countrymen." So she learned a lot from my teacher......"
"Oh? Are you fellow with the Black Mage? "Although the black mage is the one who killed the previous pope, the current Pope Ermelo II actually does not have much hatred for the black mage, not to mention whether the black mage killed the previous pope in the first place, even if he really killed it...... Ermelo II could only think that the black mage had done a good job.
Ermelo II was a faithful believer in the goddess of creation, and his head was only devoted to the goddess of creation. He thinks that as the pope, he should sprinkle the teachings of the goddess of creation on the mainland, but the old guy of the previous pope will only use his position as the pope to use his power for personal gain, and he is simply a bastard who loses money.
In other words, the person who actually knows the use of this card is not Miss Zhen Xiang...... And the Dark Mage? "Ermelo II is more interested, if this is the case, does it mean that the black mage who claimed to be the most powerful in the continent has really touched the realm of the gods? Could it be that the Black Mage is also somehow connected to the Goddess of Creation?
From this small card alone, Ermelo II has deduced a lot of useful information, and just from the fact that the two people who know this card are both black-haired, like the goddess, you can guess a lot of useful information.
However, Ermelo II did not continue, and after chatting with Zhen Xiang and the others for a while, Zhen Xiang and Ania left together.
Watching the two leave, Ermelo II said to the Templar, "Go and fetch Sister Ishtar." ”
"Yes."
After the Templar left, Ermelo II held his chin and said to himself, "Perhaps...... It's nice to change another one......"
