Chapter Seventy-Three: The Archbishop Returning Home
·
The current situation is uncertain, so let's stabilize it first.
I asked Teru Shirai to take me on a tour of the underground church, and he gladly accepted.
This is a huge underground city at all, and it is extremely wide in all directions, is this just a fragment of the broken partition of the underground church?
The passage that spans the four is flanked by intricately carved frescoes in relief, with torches and vaults overhead. You can see the believers walking back and forth here, as if they are very busy, and there are many of them, and when they meet us, they will stop and retreat to the side, bow slightly, and wait for us to pass.
Shirai pointed to the fork on the left and said, "Your Majesty, the end of this direction originally led to other areas, but now it is destroyed. ”
I found a wide sentry post in the far side of the passage, guarded by many believers, and repaired by some craftsmen.
According to Shirai, the defeat shattered the cathedral into more than a dozen places, the passages collapsed and sealed, and they lost contact with each other, and many places have fallen.
At this time, a few tasks came, but there was no prompt sound, and there were a lot of garbled characters.
"Main quest A: Repair the passage to the northwest
@黄昏教的地下教堂坍塌破碎#*¥......"
"Main quest B: Repair the passage to the northeast"
There is nowhere else in the east, southeast and north. It's all the main quest, but the details are only one sentence, ah no, half a sentence.
Sadly, I'm a wasted time-traveler now, and the golden hand pointed out the problem.
Shirai stroked his chest and saluted, "I beg Your Majesty to lead us out of this predicament." ”
Forehead.
A believer next to him, who seemed to have a relatively high status, whispered to Shirai Hui: "Archbishop, is it appropriate for you to do this?" Is it to let the papal crown go down and dig up the collapsed rubble? ”
"What nonsense? His Majesty had built a small dilapidated town into an impregnable fortress in one day. ”
The other party had a look of surprise and admiration on his face, while Shirai Teru was full of pride, as if bragging was not someone else's business.
The entourage behind Bai Jinghui knelt down and saluted, shouting: "Please lead us out of the predicament!" Dusk is eternity. ”
I especially wanted to change their slogan immediately!
But I'm very empty right now.
I don't even have a shovel, so what do I use to dig through the landslide? And after digging through, it seems that immediately after the territory is recaptured. Give me a "done" button, and I can level the world in minutes, but I'm so powerless right now.
The embarrassment of riding a tiger is difficult.
I coughed dryly: "I've just recovered from vampire, I'm a little tired, and I've been walking a long way, and my back hurts. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Teru Shirai immediately led me out of the fork and towards the lounge.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, how will this shelf fit in the future?
The hallway grew wider. On the way, I came across some doors, some of which were open to peek into the large houses inside, with all kinds of special uses.
At first, I didn't care, it was nothing more than a torture room, a warehouse, or something.
But the appearance of a passerby's face caught my attention.
We were walking towards the lounge when suddenly a believer came running, and after saluting, he said to Shirai Hui in a panic: "Archbishop, you can come back, there is a large pile of business to report to you. ”
"Didn't you see His Holiness the Pope going to rest?" Shirai Hui pushed the other party away, not angry and arrogant, "Come back later." ”
The other party wanted to stop, so he had to give up and bow to the side.
Hey?
The list he was holding in his hand piqued my interest, and I took it and looked at it. It is a list of matters that are to be decided by the archbishop after Shirai's disappearance from the world of day and night.
I glanced at it quickly, and my phone suddenly remembered the sound of the task when it appeared.
That's great! Is Goldfinger finally back to normal?
Looking down, it was still a pair of garbled characters...... Tease me? But...... Underneath the seven or eight "main quests", there are also some "side quests", and they are not gibberish!
"Side quest A: Trapped High Believers
@据悉有人目击到高阶信徒安德美波为了掩护众人撤离, and put yourself very close to the collapse to block the enemy's pursuit. I thought she had died, but a few days ago I suddenly received a contact signal from her. Although it may be a misunderstanding for a moment, even one in a thousand hopes should not be abandoned.
@达成条件: Find the high-ranking believer Ander Minami
@奖励: Experience +7500
@备注: If she was still alive, she would have been buried alive under the rubble for more than a month, and even high-level believers with life-saving spells would have long exceeded their physical limits."
"Side quest B: The undead are hard to treat
@一名有潜力的新信徒来求助, if you can cure his zombification, you'd like to join us. This is a common scenario, but this case is unique. He was a zombie after death, but he turned into a semi-ghost state on his own, and later began to try to resurrect completely for personal reasons, and once visited the quack doctor in the Dusk District, which made his current condition close to half-dead, with a mixture of black and white magic abilities, and an unclear body, which was very tricky to treat
@达成条件: Resurrect Evil Ban Woo Nan completely
@奖励: Experience +7500
@备注: A new believer who abandoned darkness and turned to the light and took a detour made a mess of himself before he found the Twilight Cult."
"Side quest C: A mouth is harder than a whip
@我们成功逮捕了一名昼族神圣教的骑士队长, and there is reason to believe that he knows the details of this great encirclement, but his willpower is so amazing that we have tortured him to death twenty-three times, but he still refuses to reveal the slightest useful information
@达成条件: Bring Jiezitang to its knees
@奖励: Experience +7500
@备注: Now that Shirai is back, no one can still grit her teeth under her torture instruments, torture is art. Or you can give Shirai a lively refresher lesson."
"Side quest D: The end of the profiteers
@百纳团的一名成员正在对我们趁火打劫. She completely ignored our previous friendship agreement, and the price of food, daily necessities, and even spell casting materials was wildly raised. Just yesterday, she threatened that if we weren't happy with the deal, we'd gladly reveal our hiding place to both of us day and night, and offer a Chaos Crystal to open the door!
@达成条件: Let the He'an Zhi of the Baina Group understand who is in charge in the Dusk District
@奖励: Experience +7500
@备注: I don't recommend buying and selling, so why not grab it? This is the battlefield area."
"Side Mission E: Emissary from Dawn Harbor
@原本我们就和黎明港罕有来往, at this sensitive time, they actually sent a messenger? Although it is claimed that it is only a trivial matter to negotiate mercenary business, and the identity of the person who came does not seem to be high, but if we don't say it well, we may offend the last neutral forces
@达成条件: Negotiate with Sachilan in Port Dawn
@奖励: Experience +7500
@备注: Ha, mercenaries have always been where the weak help, otherwise how to get rich, do not suspect good intentions but have no hostile visits, the period is extremely accurate."
Very good!
My gold finger is back to ...... Part. Although you can receive side quests, the main quests are still garbled.
I moved my fingers and was excited to get ready to brush it, when Shirai Hui took my arm and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" Aren't you too tired? ”
She was a little worried when she saw me bowing my head for a long time without words. But it reminded me! I just said, "I'll talk about it when I'm tired", and now I immediately start working on small tasks, isn't it a little difficult to justify myself?
I looked at the "Done" button of the side quest, and my hands itched! But I endured it. There is no problem, and it is the same as usual, and it can be completed in seconds.
I took a nap first, and then explained to Shirai Hui, "Jet lag in the other world, I'll start with the trivial things first, and I'll do mental support behind me for things like digging tunnels", well.
Yawned.
Then I silently remembered this person who sent a lot of tasks-Ning Tali, and felt that it was useful. Everybody in this world has such a bad name.
"What time is it?"
Bai Jinghui was stunned after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is always dusk here, there is no dark, everyone sleeps when they are sleepy, and wakes up when they are full, although there are timekeeping items but there is no unified concept of time." ”
My cheeks twitched as I listened, and if I stayed here for a long time, I would probably lose my sense of time.
Passing by some very interesting rooms and halls, some resembling chapels, some resembling artisans' rooms, and some resembling barracks or dormitories, more spell rooms that could not be understood. Go through them all when you have time!
Entering a somewhat foggy room, the men behind him had unknowingly left, leaving behind a dozen female believers. They started undressing me broadband.
I looked at Shirai, who just smiled and bowed.
I walked naked to the front of a prototype bath more than thirty meters in diameter, made of stone as everywhere else, lit by torches. The water of the pond is sprinkled with some kind of yellow petals, and the fragrance is refreshing.
Two female believers, wrapped in a thin veil, slowly took a bath together with my arms.
Comfortable.
"It reminds me of the bath you built in Bodong Town, and the style is very similar."
"Yes."
Shirai stood outside the bath, stroked his chest and replied respectfully. There is no intention of entering at all. So reserved, not like her style.
"Why don't you come together? Are you shy until now? ”
"This ...... Your Majesty, this glory, I am not too embarrassed to compete with them. ”
Glory?
Is it the glory of the bed?
I looked at the two women next to me. Behind him, more than a dozen female believers did not change their clothes, and they waited quietly with Shirai Hui, without any intention of going into the water at all. Are these two women special?
Just as I was about to ask in detail, suddenly the two women picked up a strangely shaped dagger from the edge of the bath. Before I could think about the "rebellion and assassination", they stabbed themselves in the chest. It was not deep, and it was not pulled out after being pierced, allowing the blood to slowly melt into the water, staining the bath into a pale powder.
Their eyes were always closed, and their hands were clasped together as if in prayer.
I watched for a while, and found that the blood was getting more and more and more, but no one planned to come for treatment, so I couldn't calm down.
"What's going on?"
"Returning to the crown, this is a tradition from the time of the first pope - only the youngest and most beautiful devout women have the privilege of giving their blood to the pope. The first generation can use this to stay young forever and maintain divine power. Although the actual role of this ritual has since been lost, a part of it has been retained as a custom of my religion. May the Pope be forever young, and the woman who gave her blood will also be blessed by God. ”
Superstition!
"Don't worry, we'll treat them in time." Shirai paused after speaking, "But if you don't like the smell of blood......"
I waved my hand to indicate that it was okay.
To-morrow I will change this rule, and let the youngest and most beautiful woman sleep instead of staining the pool of water with the scent of flowers. Now calm down, because it looks like these two women are very happy, and they won't die.
Get out of the bath.
Come to the bedroom.
The style is also very similar to that of Shirai Teru in Bodong Town, and it seems that Shirai Teru is a nostalgic person.
I lay down on the bed, and the two beautiful women who had just harmed themselves had been treated, and walked to the sides of my bed with their whole bodies covered in tulle, standing still as if waiting for my consent.
Shirai was about to bow down and exit the room, but I stopped him: "Where are you going?" ”
Shirai Hui seemed very surprised: "What's the matter?" ”
I looked at the empty seat on the bed next to me, and then at Shirai Hui: "Aren't you usually ......?" ”
She looked confused: "I used to be cunning and secretly swallowed the honor of serving His Majesty, and there is indeed no more devout believer than me anyway." But the crown hasn't touched me lately, so I really prefer young and beautiful women. ”
Forehead.
"Rest assured, they are very devout believers." With that, Shirai Teru mouthed me with two words, and then withdrew with a smile on his face.
"Virgin"
Forehead support.
I asked the two girls to leave and called Shirai back. They both looked very depressed, one of them covering his face the moment he opened the door, and the other put his hand on her back as if to comfort her.
So exaggerated?
"Tomorrow night, no, come back next time, I have something to discuss with the archbishop today, after all, I just came, and the current situation is unclear." I sighed and added, "Actually, you two are quite beautiful, absolutely beautiful!" With that, he gave a thumbs up.
They burst into tears and laughed, bowed and left.
Soon Shirai Hui came in, and the expression on his face was a little complicated. After some hesitation, he walked to the bed.
"What do you need me to report on?"
"I'm tired, let's talk about it when I wake up."
Shirai nodded, and slipped into the sheet naked and stuck it next to me. One moment he peeked at me, the other he rubbed me as a temptation.
She wasn't like that before. She loved me like a mad woman, longed for me, and although she was terrifying, I firmly believed that that was her true face - a woman who liked to torture, perverted, passionate, and courageous, but unconsciously became deterred from me.
Maybe I pushed her out of bed because I was terminally ill, or maybe I rejected her confession by proposing to F91.
Thinking that the character of the moon puppet has become so strange and irreparable, I don't want Shirai to become like that. It's time to salvage a wave.
I kissed Shirai deeply and kissed her until she trembled.
"The law here, how many can I marry?"
"You are the law."
yes.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely revive the Twilight Sect, it just takes time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Just a faint word of thanks is worth a thousand words.
I gently her.
She hugged me tightly like a normal woman, except for the scratch on my back that healed instantly.
"Your Majesty ......" At the most critical time, she suddenly looked at me with a flushed face and said, "I will look forward to you if you treat me like this......"
How do I respond:
A, "Actually, you don't have to be humble to them, in my eyes you are the most pious and young and beautiful female believer." ”
B, "The law says that I can marry as many as I want, please obey the law." ”
C, "I'm not used to you by my side, do you understand this feeling?" ”
D, "I'm sorry for doing something wrong before, but as time went on, I realized that I love you." ”
E, "I have a feeling around you that I can do anything. ”
F, "You may think I'm crazy, but I've always thought that you are the one who needs the most protection." ”
G, "Thank you too. ”
H, "Is it strange that I have a preference for perverts?" ”
I, "I'm tired, exhausted......"
J, "You know, my biggest annoyance is that I'm too handsome. ”
Z, which uses the "Eight of the Week" ability
