Chapter 689: The Church's Advice
Hao Ren found the idle Betsy in an officer's rest house in Hodisius Floating City, who was unable to attend those high-level meetings because of his lack of rank, and basically spent half a day hanging around the base, relying on the fame and nobility of the legendary mercenary, she was quite happy to eat and drink in the rest room. When everyone saw Betsy, this guy was eating in the cafeteria, and he set himself a table of high-end drinks and snacks, and his face was full of elation.
If others were left alone, it would be a loss for a while, but for this rough-and-grown mercenary girl, it seemed that there was no unhappy word in her dictionary - Hao Ren even suspected that as long as she could be fed with good food, drink, and clothing, this guy would be sold to everyone.
The premise is that she must be personally responsible for counting money: she likes to count money.
As soon as Betsy saw everyone appearing, she greeted everyone happily, and Hao Ren went over to look at the table of food on the scale of a banquet: "You are comfortable, eating so much alone is according to the death of support, right?" β
"Didn't I know you were back for you," Becky slapped with a grin, "I just couldn't resist tasting two chicken thighs, half a catty, four cakes, and two bottles of wine." Welcome, saviors, and have you succeeded in saving the world again? β
Lily looked at Betsy in a daze, and suddenly showed a look of admiration: "Your amount of food has almost caught up with me, and you have made great progress." β
"Life must be full of joy, and the king will not be early in life...... I had a good fight today, and after smelling the blood, the habit of being a mercenary came out again," Betsy waved her hand, "and when there was food and drink, she opened up and enjoyed it." What if there is no next meal. β
Elizabeth gently tugged on Hao Ren's sleeve: "Uncle Ren, is that the sentence behind the joy of life?" β
Hao Ren grimaced: "Don't learn from her." She doesn't learn anything. β
However, except for the part that does not learn and has no skills, Betsy's attitude towards life is really enviable. Hao Ren couldn't help but think that if the end of the world did happen today, Betsy might really be the only one on Hodyssius who was full of deathβand of course it was possible to survive.
"What do you mean by not learning and not knowing," Betsy said, "Little girl, I'll teach you to break a boulder on your chest in two days, and I also have skills...... Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense, let's sit here and eat something, look at you like this...... I guess I'm still busy. Leave later? β
Hao Ren felt that his stomach was empty, and after thinking about it, he had been continuously consuming high-intensity physical consumption for most of the day, and he hadn't eaten anything until now, not to mention Lily next to him, the husky girl was already in a trance when she smelled the food, and at this time she was already lying on the table and eating like a vicious dog grabbing food, and a whole chicken leg could be eaten in the blink of an eye - and there was no vomiting of the bones!
"I'll leave later," Hao Ren sat down across from Betsy, and solved the belly problem first without being polite to her. "There's a lot going on, and I have to go back and report it. Lily, slow down, no one will rob you...... At least spit out the bones? β
"Huh?" Lily looked up with half a fleshy bone in her mouth, her face full of oil. She crunched the bone and swallowed it in two bites, "What? β
ββ¦β¦ Forget it, you can do whatever you want. Hao Ren shook his head with a dry smile. Putting Doudou on the table, he gave the little one a few pieces of sawdust for her to nibble on. Later, while eating, he chatted with Betsy about living in Holletta. This rough mercenary girl is still the same as she was at the beginning, but she is extremely dull when it has nothing to do with money. She didn't even feel the change in the atmosphere of the floating city, and even when she mentioned the Pope's martyrdom, she only sighed blankly: "Woo...... I can't believe it......"
The perception or analysis of the situation on top of this can't be handled by her brain.
During the chat, Hao Ren seemed to return to the feeling of living with Betsy at the beginning, this magical guy really won't change much anywhere, she used to simply think that she was adaptable, but now it seems that this is just a simple nerve too hard. Nangong May couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes I really envy you, if anyone has your attitude towards life, it is estimated that life can be much easier, and the landlord will not worry about so many things all day long." β
"A compliment?" Betsy burped and patted her belly, "Thank you then." Well, life is quite simple, you still worry about it when you can figure it out, and you worry about it when you can't figure it out - this is what the goddess taught me. Oh, your goddess over there. β
After saying this, Betchet stretched comfortably: "Huh...... It's still so easy to talk.,It's much more comfortable to chat with you.,I used to go to the banquet all day long and be polite with those old antiques.,I'm like what?,If you want to find someone to scold the street, you have to put on makeup and go out of the city.,And I often find that it's actually the housekeeper who scolds the street with me......"
What else can Hao Ren say, he feels that it is not easy to be an errand in Betsy's mansion......
Betsy complained loudly, and suddenly heard a voice coming from behind everyone: "You should almost get used to the aristocratic life, at least understand your butler, he can't let you really run into the tavern to fight with those gangsters, the image of the legendary mercenary is not so defeated." β
As soon as Betsy turned her head, she suddenly stiffened, and suddenly jumped up: "Ao...... Lady Oprah! You, you, you...... Are you here? Have you eaten it? What to drink? What's the indication? Would you like a glass of ale? What about pastries? Or I'll give you a thump on the back......"
Ophora waved her hand: "Don't be, I still don't dare to eat your stuff for the time being, maybe you put something in it." β
As soon as Marshal Ofrah's words came out, Hao Ren thought of Becky, a guy who jumped out of the way, and tried to his idol, he looked at Becky with tears and laughter, and muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that your drugging has been revealed?" β
Obrah has witcher blood, and her ears are better than Lily Turin, and she immediately laughed when she heard Hao Ren's muttering voice: "With her reckless and frizzy style, can she not be exposed, say make me tea, that tea can be dug and eaten with a spoon, who can't see that there is something in it......"
Everyone around immediately looked at Betsy with teasing eyes, and Betsy explained with a red face: "I didn't pay attention at the time, I was so excited, and I poured it all into it without looking at the weight......"
Lily asked with interest, "And then?" β
"And then?" Marshal Oprah touched his chin with a smile, "Anyway, I'm immune to most potions, so I chew them all and eat them, and it's quite chewy." β
So Hao Ren was amazed at both Betsy and Oprah, the latter could chew and eat the sweat medicine, and the former was unprecedented......
Lily looked at the combination of this idol and brain-dead fan with a stern face, and asked very seriously: "I think you two really should do Ji go." β
Nangong May poked Hao Ren's back with the tip of her tail and muttered in a low voice: "Is it really okay for us to discuss this kind of topic here so seriously?" How does this sound like an all-age ......?"
"Oh yes, there's business," Ophra interrupted her small talk with Becky, as if she suddenly remembered something, and she looked up at Hao Ren, "I'm here to ask you something." β
Hao Ren noticed that the relaxed atmosphere on Aufra's body had faded suddenly, and he couldn't help but follow Yan SΓΉ as well: "What's the matter?" β
"You ...... Or, more strictly, would you like to try to be like the Radiant Cultists, to receive the blessings of the Church and listen to the voice of the Goddess? β
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to suddenly mention this, and only after a few seconds did he subconsciously shake his head: "You said to let me join the sect?" That doesn't sound very reliable, right...... I don't have a problem with your beliefs, but I'm organized. β
"Maybe there's something wrong with what I'm saying," Opra looked into Hao Ren's eyes seriously, "not to let you join the sect, but just to let you try the Tattoo Ceremony." β
"Stripe?" Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was exactly a ritual that the newly promoted official clergy of the Huiyao Sect had to go through, Tong GuΓ² injected the source blood into the body and carried out a kind of spiritual shaping in the process, so as to resonate with the power of the goddess somewhere in the universe, it was said that the clergy after the ritual would be able to communicate with the goddess, but he didn't know why Aufra suddenly ran to say this, "Why did you find me?" Is it because we helped solve a lot of problems that the church decided to 'commend' it in this way? If that's the case, then I'm not much interested......"
"Let the master tell you." Ophora said, gesturing behind the group.
Hao Ren saw the bearded dervish coming from there. (To be continued......)
