Chapter 225: The Cathedral
After chatting with Sergei, Ji Ran was led by Krees again, and together with Anya Alice, he visited Grantelle.
There are really a lot of beautiful landscapes in Grancel, and the city alone is enough for them to visit for a few days, not to mention the suburbs.
The Kingdom of Liberl is known for its alchemy and classical elegance, and its artistic exhibitions are also amazing. There are many traces of artists in the city, and the cathedral is a majestic and magnificent cathedral, and even the Pope of the Church of the Holy Light has praised it.
The Church of Light is very widespread throughout Big 6, with a large number of believers in various countries. However, the Holy Light Church is quite reliable, and it is not like the churches in those novels that Ji Ran has read before, causing anger and resentment, and no one dares to resist.
The cathedral is full of people and the church staff are friendly. However, Ji Ran and the others are not believers...... So, everyone just toured and left here.
"Speaking of which, the Virgin Mary once invited me to come...... But forget it for now. Ji Ran muttered to himself.
Next to him, Krees laughed suddenly: "Ji Ran, I didn't expect your jokes to be quite good...... The Holy Maiden invites you? How can it be...... The saint has always lived in seclusion, how did you get in touch with her? You're visiting the Kingdom of Liber for the first time, right? Besides, you've never been to the headquarters of the Wish of Light, have you? I can't imagine how you got involved with the Holy Maiden. ”
Krees didn't mean anything, but he obviously didn't believe Ji Ran's words and only took them as a joke.
"Believe it or not, that's what it is. We met by accident, right...... I don't mean to visit her right now. Now she is probably very busy, and it is not easy to be a saint. Ji Ran sighed.
Krees hadn't spoken yet. A person next to him suddenly answered.
"A mere civilian, how dare he talk about a saint? He actually dared to say that he knew the saint and was invited by the saint...... I'm right, you're a scum who brags about not making drafts! Suddenly, a voice rang out next to the crowd.
It's not a good sound, though. But Ji Ran sounded a little familiar. He turned around helplessly and looked at the man who had spoken.
"Krees, are you sure this guy isn't having a crush on you? Why do we meet this guy wherever we go? ”
That's right, the one who spoke was none other than Lei Wei they met yesterday.
Lei Wei still has a little brother by his side. It seems to be a manifestation of his status. At this moment, he was looking at Ji Ran with a contemptuous expression on his face.
“…… Don't make such jokes, okay? It's disgusting. I'm not interested in a man, and even if he did, I wouldn't say yes. "Krees usually doesn't face Lei Wei and the others head-on, not because of his lack of strength. It's because I don't want to cause trouble for my family. But yesterday's words clearly aroused his anger.
What kind of means to attack your own alchemy shop? What's so polite to you! There are people like Ji Ran around him, and he can't take his turn to suffer!
Although they had only known each other for a day, Krees keenly felt that Ji Ran's strength was much higher than his own. Although he only looked like a fourth-level swordsman, he occasionally revealed the kind of momentum. It's not something that an ordinary level 4 swordsman can have.
In the Academy of Rising Stars, Krees has also seen many young masters. But he was sure that few or few others he had ever met could possess such imposingness. This is the momentum that can only be cultivated after going through an unknown number of life-and-death battles...... He had only felt this way from a few teachers.
He thinks that he is extremely accurate in seeing people, so he thinks that this Ji Ran is definitely not an ordinary person! With his attitude of neither humility nor arrogance in the face of Lei Wei, this is not something that ordinary people can have.
So. Ji Ran opened his mouth to taunt that Lei Wei, and he naturally took it along with it.
"You guys! How dare you insult me like this! I'm going to duel with you! Lei Wei was so angry that his nose was crooked. How dare you slander yourself for having a crush on that Krees! Krees, who longed for him to die!
The point is, the other party is still a man! Just from their words, I thought of that scene a little, and I wanted to vomit in disgust!
That black-headed kid is really looking for death!
Lei Wei at this time. Looking at Ji Ran's eyes, they were full of killing intent.
Ji Ran naturally wouldn't be afraid of the killing intent of this noble kid. Although it can be seen that this guy's strength is also good, he should be a fifth-level legal professional, but so what?
A sixth-level professional, it's not like he hasn't killed it. Even the gold-level monster himself used to fight hard, would he still be afraid of this guy?
"Duel? Hahaha, take a good look at where this is, Grancel Cathedral! You actually want to fight a duel here, do you intend for the Holy Light to punish you? Krees laughed exaggeratedly.
The Church of Light has a good fighting power, whether it is a class such as a paladin or a priest, it has great power. However, the purpose of the Church of Light is to preach peace and persuade people to do good.
A successful religion must be accepted by the general public. And these two are often what ordinary people desire the most. Moreover, the Holy Light itself is also the embodiment of the will of the world - no world will want its world to fight and kill all day long, and if you are not careful, will you?
A duel in front of the Cathedral of the Holy Light could not have been a clear provocation. When the time comes, I'm afraid that a team of paladins will rush out of the church and knock them all to the ground.
Even Ji Ran never thought of provoking the dignity of the Holy Light Church.
Lei Wei's face turned blue and red, and he didn't say anything for a long time. His words just now were just a hot head, how could he be in a duel with someone in front of the cathedral?
Soon, though, his face turned smug again.
"Haha, just now you said that you know the saint? This kind of braggart is no longer just a joke, it is a blasphemy against the saints of the church! Do you know what would happen if those paladins found out about this? They will teach you a profound lesson for blaspheming the Holy Maiden! ”
The Holy Light Church didn't want to burn Ji Ran at the stake because of a word...... In fact, there is no burning at the stake in the Holy Light Church of this world. But because of this, I reprimanded Ji Ran, and by the way, I gave a lesson or something, and I maybe.
Paladins are generally very fanatical about their faith. As the representative of the Church of Light under the Pope only, the Holy Maiden is also revered by the paladins who can be called fanatical. Whoever dares to insult her really has to be hunted down to death by the paladin...... Ji Ran's words just now were not an insult, but it was natural for the paladins to be unhappy when they heard it.
"I didn't tell a lie, so why should the paladins teach me? It's you. Every time, we're just chatting on the side, and every time you jump out and look for trouble...... What the hell are you trying to do? Could it be that he really has a crush on Krees, using this clumsy trick to attract his attention? Ji Ran shifted the topic in this direction again.
"Bastard! I'm not one of those adolescent kids...... Wrong! I've never had a fucking crush on any shit Krees! Damn blackhead boy, are you really trying to provoke my dignity? Don't worry, I won't let you down......" Lei Wei gritted his teeth. looked at Ji Ran viciously.
Ji Ran shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows." I heard that this kind of thing is not uncommon among nobles......" He turned his head and glanced at Krees, "Right?" ”
Krees nodded: "It's true that there are often rumors like this...... Wrong! What's the matter with me! I don't know any of that either! Damn, you even got me into it! ”
Ji Ran laughed: "Just kidding." But don't you think that guy looks pretty good if he really becomes a girl? ”
Anya also touched her chin on the side: "Well, if it's really a girl, the shortcomings in appearance will also become advantages." Change the type. Put on a little makeup...... The potential is really not small! Krees, why don't you just make do with it? ”
"Is that so? It seems a little bit like that...... What do you mean to make do! What I like is real women! Not the kind of man who turns into a woman by magic or surgery! Kreese roared in exasperation.
Lei Wei's face on the opposite side couldn't be more blue, and the people behind him also had different expressions. It can be seen that some of them are trying their best to hold back their laughter......
"What are you doing here? Don't know that you can't make a loud noise before the cathedral? The Light is watching you! "Suddenly, several paladins patrolling the square in front of the church approached. Seeing the tension between the two sides, he couldn't help but come up and reprimand.
And Lei Wei suddenly seemed to seize the opportunity, and his face changed. Laughed suddenly: "This Mr. Paladin, the black-headed kid opposite me just now, claims to know the Holy Maiden, and has been invited by the Holy Maiden!" I don't think it's possible for a filthy commoner like him to know the Holy Maiden, and by saying this he is blaspheming the Holy Maiden! As a result, he did not deny what he had said, and quarreled with me...... You judge the judge, is it possible that he knows the Holy Maiden? ”
The paladin listened to Lei Wei's words, and turned his face to face this Ji Ran. And then. Both sides were stunned at the same time - because they knew each other, the paladin, it was Michelle, who had shown a jealous expression to them in the first place!
Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face. Regardless, Michelle also knows herself. No matter how cheeky it is. You can't deny what you said, right?
And Michelle laughed the same.
"The Holy Maiden is usually so busy, where is the opportunity to meet those messy people. This kind of person is nothing more than bragging, don't pay attention. Michelle glanced at Ji Ran, then turned his head and said to Lei Wei.
Ji Ran was stunned, he didn't expect that this Michelle really dared to say that he didn't know himself! Wasn't he afraid that the saint would rebuke him when she found out about it? Speak against his conscience like this, and the Holy Light will not send down a bolt of lightning to kill him?
Obviously, the Light does not possess the power of polygraphing, let alone the ability to inflict punishment out of thin air. Michelle was still unharmed, but the smile he looked at Ji Ran was extremely hateful.
The smile that blends smug and ostentatious, how to look at it makes people want to kick it up.
"Michel Paladin, have you forgotten about our encounter? At the beginning, we fought side by side to protect Her Highness the Holy Maiden......" The corners of Ji Ran's mouth curled slightly, and he looked at Michelle with mocking eyes.
Such a small-bellied person can actually be a paladin! It seems that the Holy Light Boss is really educated......
"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death! With you, what ability do you have to fight alongside the Paladin? You're not living in a dream, are you? It's really rare to brag to the point where you do! Lei Wei laughed maniacally. The Paladins have already denied knowing him, and he still dares to entangle!
If you anger the paladin, you'll be in for a good look!
Michelle was not angry, he turned his head as if he didn't see Ji Ran at all: "The Holy Light teaches us to be honest, but it doesn't say that we paladins also have to punish for lying. The Holy Maiden is magnanimous and will not care about such a trivial matter, and there is no need for us to make too much of a big fanfare. Forget it, let's go. ”
Michelle, with a few paladins behind him, was about to leave here. In his opinion, it was enough to taunt that Ji Ran, and there was no need to continue to fight with him. Otherwise, if you really alarm other people, it will not be easy for you to deal with it.
Ji Ran was still smiling, "I see...... Isn't the Paladin taboo about lying? No wonder Michelle Paladin, you can pretend you don't know me. But it doesn't matter, whether I know the saint or not, and it's not something that a paladin can prove. ”
Lei Wei laughed even louder on the other side: "You're still stubborn even now? Do you really not believe that the paladins will punish you? What a noble being, how could she be known by a lowly commoner like you! Hmph, if you talk about me, if you go to see the saint, you may still be received, you can only brag here to comfort yourself! ”
Ji Ran didn't pay attention to this guy. This guy is like a mad dog, and he doesn't like it when he sees himself. Of course, he was implicated by Krees...... But Krees is still a friend, and he is quite a good person. What is this Raywe? There's no need to deal with him!
"Forget it, there's no need to be like this kind of person. Let's go, let's go look somewhere else. I hope we don't meet this kind of guy again, it really spoils our mood. Ji Ran turned his head and said to Krees. Anyway, if you don't know the saint herself, what does it have to do with others admitting it or not?
"Hahaha, you plan to walk away when you see the lie being exposed? Sure enough, it's an inferior civilian! Next time you brag remember to be in a good place, don't make a big deal in such a place that is easy to be exposed! "Levi felt like he was victorious over there. How dare this damn black-headed kid do that to himself in a restaurant! Moreover, he forced himself to apologize to him! He was a nobleman, and he had allowed himself to be humiliated like he had never suffered before!
And just when Ji Ran didn't plan to ignore him anymore and turned around to leave, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind Ji Ran: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Ji Ran?" Are you here for me? ”
