As early as eleven centuries ago, the Church of Love underwent an unprecedented schism over the simple question of "what is love" by Bishop Ransenderma, forming the Chastity Sect, which was headquartered in the Great Temple of the Aegean in the Kingdom of Faro, and the Pleasure Sect, which was headquartered in the Grand Temple of Mero, now in the Golden Empire.

Doctrinal conflicts, factional strife, and ongoing divisions make it difficult for the Church of Love to fully integrate its resources, compared to the Order and the Temple of Knights, the Agricultural Church, and the Temple of Death, which are also powerful forces in the main physical plane.

However, once the temple machine of the Love Church is operational, it can still burst out with quite terrifying power, far surpassing the Church of Wealth and the Sea God Temple.

After completing the task assigned by Paphos V to negotiate with Victor I, Cleopatra Abigail returned to the Grand Temple of Mero, and naturally other priests visited the Empress at the palace of Saraphos at her behest, informing Talos that he should not be disturbed in any way throughout the 22 months.

Talos didn't know that Queen Amber had broken a few more teacups, and he didn't know that the Church of Love would temporarily block the actions from the two aspects of Order and the Knight's Temple and the Vinci royal family in order for Annistora's to successfully complete her cognition and facilitate the promotion of cardinals in the best condition in the future.

On this day, Talos, who was far away in the town of Low Mountain, met Mrs. Moore, a female mage with a lovely daughter, who was not of a high professional rank, only a first order, and lived with her husband on a commission basis.

"Good day, Mr. Bullock. ”

Brock is the new surname of Talos, changing from Mr. and Mrs. Box to Mr. and Mrs. Brock, and his legal name in the town of Low Mountain is Minos Bullock.

"Good day, Mrs. Moore. ”

Talos nodded, not talking much, he played a husband who loved his wife deeply and easily did not talk to other women.

"It's like this, we're playing a fun family game. ”

For some reason, there seems to be a magical charm about Mrs. Moore today, which supports Talos to continue listening.

"My cat climbed into a big tree by the river, and my husband and I made a bet not to do it for five minutes to see who would finally save Betty from the tree. ”

Honestly, it's a very boring game, and, cats......

Tsk, how to say, in the past, including for a period of time after awakening the memories of his previous life, Talos was very fond of this stuffed creature, their cute appearance, soft fur, and clear eyes can make people relax inadvertently, and they are extremely qualified pets, but now......

Tarlos prefers scales (like his tail) or simply soft-bodied creatures (like the three-eyed octopus) to stuffed creatures, and what was once his most feared creature is now his favorite animal, before he knows it.

If Talos needs a pet, it's likely a sea serpent or one of the world's most abundant and decent three-eyed octopuses.

"Sounds very interesting. Annistola walked over and put her arm around Talos' left arm.

Mrs. Moore looked at Annistola with delight and said, "Great, then, do I have the honor to invite two of you to be referees?"

"Of course, gladly. The hostess agreed.

The trio soon arrive at the river, where the other contestants are already waiting: Mr. Moore, their daughter Nina, and their pet dog Doberman, and the target is Betty, a pet cat who is lazily sleeping in the sun on a tree branch.

"Oh sweetheart, the game is about to begin, whoever can save Betty from the tree is the warrior of today. Mrs. Moore kissed her daughter's forehead and patted her dog's head, "For this reason, I have invited Mr. and Mrs. Bullock to be referees." ”

She continued to her daughter: "You have five minutes of prime time, during which neither Dad nor I will make a move, and when the time comes, you will have to compete with Mom and Dad." Good luck, baby. ”

The game begins.

"Betty, Betty, look here. ”

Nina is only 12 years old this year, but under the guidance of her parents, she can already unleash an apprentice spell of the Black Iron Rank, the Flash Technique.

She held up an egg-sized ball of light in her hand and waved it at the chubby orange cat, trying to get the other person's attention, but to no avail, so Nina's address to the orange cat changed from "Betty" to "little fat".

"Golden Gradient, a very popular breed of Rhine shorthair, orange cat is a joking name, not a scientific name. Seeing that Talos's eyes had been on the cat, Annistola explained softly, "If you like, I can give you one." ”

"Uh...... I'm just looking, yes, looking. ”

As the two talk softly, the Moore family's pet dog, Doberman, joins the game, whining and running around the tree, occasionally resting his two front feet on the tree.

But the shepherd dog does not climb trees, that is not its domain, and in the end it can only squat helplessly on the ground and bark at the cat, of course, the orange cat just glances at it faintly and continues to bask in the sun.

"Oh, Doberman—" The group laughed at Doberman's anxious and helpless appearance.

At that moment, there was an eagle's cry in the sky, and Talos looked up to see that it was a black eagle with a wingspan of about three feet.

It circled twice over the tree, then swooped down on the orange cat sleeping on a branch.

"Get out of here, you flying brute, this is a domestic cat, not your food. Mr. Moore cursed as he drew a long sword and swung it.

Amid Mrs. Moore's "Honey, don't be rude in front of your children," Mr. Moore's barking, and Doberman's barking, the eagle in the sky continued to hover the sky for about a minute reluctantly, and then flew away reluctantly.

"Sweetheart, it's been four minutes, and my dad and I will be joining the game soon, come on!"

"But, Mom, I can only do one flash, and Betty ignores me. ”

"So you've got to figure it out, right, you've got a minute. ”

"Can I climb a tree?"

"Of course not, if you can keep your skirt from staining, I'll agree, though it's not ladylike at all. ”

"That's it, I'...... I'll think about it again. ”

Just as Mr. Moore was about to begin the countdown, the orange cat stood up, leaped under the tree, ignored Nina and Doberman, and fled into the garden, not knowing where it had gone.

Mr. Moore took his pet dog, and Nina took Annistola to the garden to continue looking for the cat, leaving only Talos and Mrs. Moore.

"Interesting game, isn't it?" said Mrs. Moore with a smile.

Talos smiled politely and nodded slightly, though he didn't say anything specific.

"Betty was in the same situation as little Mr. Nepton is now. ”

Lady Moore's gentle voice fell into Talos's ears like a thunderclap, he turned around, and for the first time looked very seriously at the female mage in front of him, who was obviously only a first-order strength, pretending to be calm, and his eyes were full of scrutiny: "You know me?"

"Betty has a very weird temper, it's clingy when she's clingy, and when she doesn't want to pay attention to people, she likes to run to the tree to sleep, and she thinks that this way she can get rid of the annoying humans, but we all know that she sleeps in the tree, otherwise there wouldn't be this game today. ”

Mrs. Moore didn't care about Talos's hostility, and said to herself: "Little Mr. Neptune thinks the same as Betty, thinking that if you dispose of the Ring of the Magic Web and live in seclusion with Annistora, you will not be discovered, but you underestimate the power of the Church. When necessary, every believer can be the eyes and ears of the church, plus the eyes of the gods......"

Talos suddenly realized that Mrs. Moore's family game today seemed to be deliberately prepared for him, and it seemed to have a point.

If he's the chubby orange cat in Mrs. Moor's mouth, what about the other characters involved in the game?

At present, there are four forces involved in the pursuit of him, the Temple of Order and Knights, the Temple of the Sea, the Illuminati, and the Master Assassin hired by the Empress, and Florence, who is not dead, is just acting, and is not counted for the time being.

The four-armed naga is not stupid, and it quickly tastes good:

Doberman, a pet dog who is fast on land, but is extremely bad at climbing trees, alludes to the Sea Temple, their power on land is indeed very weak, and there is no way to take Talos who hides in the human world for a while;

Nina, who can only use one light technique, corresponds to the Master Assassin of the Assassin League, and has little ability, and is worried about soiling her clothes and restraining her hands;

The eagles who want to capture the orange cat but are scared away by Mr. Moore and the shepherd dog are the Illuminati, who want to take Talos away, but at the same time beware of the forces of the Church of Gods on the main physical plane to avoid accidents for themselves.

If the above is true, then Mr. Moore, as the head of the family, naturally represents the Temple of Order and Knights, and the human world is their home field, and he does have the qualifications and ability to fight against the Illuminati.

"One question, who did you represent in that game?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that in order for Annistola to successfully complete the plan, the Church of Love and Order have an agreement with the Knights Temple that they will not make a move against you until the arrival of the 23rd month. ”

"This is an opportunity, and all you have to do is seize the opportunity to find the next safe place during this golden time before the masters of the Temple of Order and Knights arrive, just as Betty came down from the tree and hid in the garden before her husband and I made a move," she said, pointing to the people who were looking for orange cats everywhere in the garden. ”

"Honey, sweetheart, wait for me. Mrs. Moore giggled and ran toward the garden, leaving one last word for Talos, "The nightmare labyrinth in the dungeon is a good place to be." ”

In the garden, Annistola turned around, holding a flower in her hand, and smiled at Talos.

Naga smiled back, but her heart rippled, just now, the mysterious charm of Lady Moore disappeared, as if it had never existed.
