Chapter 199: Liu Da flickered
"What, to quarantine the review?"
In the small building of the Amster Parish Office, Liu Ci stared at the Veblen priest with an embarrassed expression.
The old priest also felt that it was quite strange, what the truth was, and with the means of the Holy See's inquiry, it would soon be revealed. "Quarantine review", what can be treated so gently is probably Bishop Edward's status.
Therefore, the old priest's gaze at Liu Ci was also very strange.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Liu Ci coughed dryly, "Lord Priest, do you know that I am from a small place, I have never seen anything in the world, and I have been isolated and examined, is the situation particularly serious?" ”
Priest Veblen gave her a blank look and left the room with a blank expression.
When only Liu Ci and the maid Sang Man were left in the room, she put away her hippie smile.
"Sanman, go and rummage, what other gifts did the old butler James put for us, if there is no suitable one, put those dead quill pens in place."
Samman was learning to make gifts, and Liu Ci also taught her a lot of key points of human relations along the way, so she subconsciously asked, "Who do we need to visit?" Isolation as Priest Veblen Speaks...... Miss Tzu, are we not allowed to go out? ”
Can't go out, who are you going to give gifts, Samman is puzzled.
Liu Ci only let her see it, and didn't explain much. By the time Samman came back from putting a few expensive quill pens into the gift box, Liu Ci's face had already regained a smile.
Sang Man especially admired his young lady's face that could change her expression freely, looking at her heartfelt smile, who would believe that after Priest Veblen left, Liu Ci was in a particularly bad mood?
"Let's go, let's go see Pastor Lambert and thank him for arranging such a comfortable room for us, and the food is exceptionally tasty."
Liu Ci's face was relaxed.
Just as she once said to Sangman, she asked people to do things, and she felt that she was wronged by losing her smile, how can you take advantage of everything in the world? There is an old saying in Huaxia that "the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult", and the Liu family never taught her to look down on any little person at will - that kind of behavior is not backbone, it is a stupid fork!
Downstairs, Liu Ci happened to see the Marquis of Streiff who had returned from going out. Unlike the treatment of her personal freedom, Monsieur Marquis has been very active since he arrived in the Holy Land Port, leaving early and returning late every day, and the Holy Land Port, the center of power of the Holy See, seems to be like a fish in water for the Marquis.
This man, in order to climb up, is still very willing to pay.
Liu Ci and he glanced at him, and quickly despised each other with their eyes, before they went their separate ways.
Coincidentally, she had not even reached Reverend Lambert's room when she saw each other first.
The young pastor was drinking tea on the small terrace, just in time to see the door of the small office building for people to enter and exit. He saw the situation between Liu Ci and the Marquis, and when Liu Ci found him, the priest said with a slightly reserved smile:
"Marquis Strave is busy."
That's right, it's really level. Liu Ci wanted to catch the marquis to hear about it, probably because the knights of light who traveled all the way didn't pay much attention to the marquis, and the marquis was too lazy to act in the office and no longer engaged in the pro-people route, which made him ignore Lambert Priest.
No, Reverend Lambert still had some opinions in his heart when he saw the Marquis going out to give gifts all day.
"The Marquis of Strave has his own network, and the priest knows that I am basically at odds with him, and it is really not fair to judge the Marquis's behavior, so we won't talk about him, right? I'm here to thank Pastor Lambert for taking care of us, and I want to take that little gift. ”
Pastor Lambert did not open the gift box on the spot, and did not excuse himself too much, he invited Liu Ci to sit down, and Liu Ci instructed Samman to make a new cup of tea for himself.
When there was no one around, the priest said, "Priest Veblen should have told Miss Liu Ci about the instructions of Priest Moses, right?" Your Excellency the Priest has said, except that you cannot leave our office at will, and in this small building, you are still a distinguished guest. ”
Liu Ci nodded, "The instructions of the priest of Moses are terrifying, I am just an ordinary commoner, how can I be qualified for such treatment?" But I didn't come to embarrass the priest, because it was the order of the priest, and we can't question it. You know, I have a sister in the convent, and the distance between the diocese of Emster and the port of the Holy Land takes a year, and I don't expect to see my sister, and it would be nice to have a message for her to say that she is safe! ”
Pastor Lambert was surprised: "It's just to report safety, you don't need to meet, you don't need to send anything in?" ”
Liu Ci nodded affirmatively.
The priest's slightly tense expression was also completely relaxed: "That's really not too difficult to do, although you are not allowed to go out at will, but to report to your sister that you are safe, whether it is the priest of Moses or the councilor Charles of the monastery, they are all reasonable and big people, and they will not be deliberately embarrassed." ”
Pastor Lambert swears by it, and Liu Ci believes it. In fact, although her perception of the Holy See was refreshed by Veblen Priest - but wasn't an existence like Veblen Priest also excluded to the most remote and barren Diocese of Amster?
When Samman came back with tea, the two talked about it, and the topic turned to the weather and food in the Holy Land Port, Pastor Lambert is not very old, and he is basically a foodie who enjoys exquisite life and loves food, Liu Ci and the other party have a common language on this point, the pastor chatted with great interest, and also popularized a lot of the situation of the Holy Land Port to her.
This afternoon tea was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts.
Back in the room, Sang Man was very happy, but the smile on Liu Ci's face was a little faint. People who can live in the center of power really can't be underestimated, the young Pastor Lambert speaks without leaking, and talking to him is like a spring breeze, but basically doesn't get any of the news she wants.
For example, why does the Holy See have such an attitude towards her?
Yes, why did the priest of Moses have such a good attitude towards a commoner girl from a remote suburb?
Pastor Lambert is also thinking about this. Even when he stood in front of the priest Moses, the gossip factor in his heart couldn't help but make him try to find some clues.
It's a pity that if he is a monster, Priest Moses must belong to the elite boss, a priest of light who needs to meet the Pope often, if he can be caught by Pastor Lambert's exposed emotions, then the positions of the two can almost be reversed.
Of course, Lambert did not see Priest Moses very often, in fact, Priest Moses had to deal with a lot of official business every day, and he was a small priest who could only meet with Priest Moses alone because of Liu Ci.
After sorting out his emotions, Lambert concentrated on reporting: "Lord Priest, according to my careful observation, she can see that she is well-educated and knowledgeable, and it sounds like she has been to many places on the mainland, and she can pick up a topic about local food, clothing, housing and transportation...... It is rare for civilians to have such a temperament, especially at this age. ”
The priest of Moses muttered, "That is to say, you can at least judge that she is a noble daughter, right?" ”
Pastor Lambert nodded, "Yes, Lord Priest, I can swear to God that everything I say is from a just standpoint. This young lady was very sociable, and I had received two gifts alone, and that did not break my loyalty to God. ”
Priest Moses put down the papers in his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes in anticipation of banishing away the fatigue of a busy day.
"Let's do it first, I'll find the time to meet her in person."
The busy priest of Moses took time out of his free time and made Liu Ci wait for seven days.
Liu Ci even felt that this was the other party's psychological warfare. Sometimes the more careless you are, the more people will have a panicked mood, and the process of waiting is a kind of torment.
Fortunately, during these seven days, Pastor Lambert lived up to his expectations and reached Rachel with the news of his arrival in the Holy Land Harbor. For this reason, Liu Ci gave another gift worth two thousand gold coins, but she felt that it was worth it.
"Peace." Rachel's reply was simple, as she said, "Tell me peace", and the simpler the message, the less useful clues others could see in it.
She said that she was safe, not only to tell Rachel that the two were in great trouble, so Liu Ci came to the Holy Land Port. There is another layer of deep meaning, as long as the two of them do not mess with themselves, this kind of trouble can be "peaceful".
Rachel also replied "Ping", apparently she was also investigated, but there was no trouble for the time being.
On the seventh day, the priest Moses, who was overburdened with teaching, suddenly came to the office of the diocese of Amster.
Explaining his intentions, Liu Ci said that he would be happy to cooperate with the Holy See's investigation.
When it comes to the testimony of Bishop Edward and the "Eater of Souls" incident, the priest of Moses must first identify Liu Ci before what she says can be trusted by the Holy See.
"Oh, are you asking about the town we live in? It's such a beautiful place and the neighbors are so kind. It's mostly not found on the Spurs map, but once you get to Gase, you'll find your way to the town...... Do you have questions about our family? Our family has lived there for many generations, was it a nobleman before, and why did it move to a remote town, a few years ago the beast tide came too suddenly, and my sister and I are young, and we don't know much about the history of the family...... Later, when I traveled around, I realized that I and my sister had been educated, and our family should be a declining aristocracy! There are only two people left in the poor family in this world, and my sister and my two daughters and I don't know when we will be able to reunite the family......"
Liu Da flickered and began to work.
Her narration is sincere, compared to Rachel's introvertedness, Liu Ci is an emotionally exposed acting school. What she said is not a lie, in the other world, there are indeed only two people left in the Liu family, and one Rachel still temporarily borrows the surname "Liu"-
As soon as the priest of Moses spoke, Liu Ci poured beans into a bamboo tube and told him about his so-called travels. She basically deliberately obscured the background of the place where the events took place, and a story was told with a climax, adventure, blood, and friends, and the priest of Moses was completely stunned.
In a continent where entertainment is basically based on bards, most of the books are documentary materials, and music is still born for banquets and papal themes, Liu Ci tells the adventure story of a "connecting carrier" style novel with the wisdom of the Earth Federation accumulating the wisdom of its predecessors and concentrating various popular elements...... The degree of excitement is better than the ancient Chinese teahouse commentary.
Priest Moses was quite awake at first, but under the bombardment of Liu Da's flickering words, within half an hour, Priest Moses was fascinated by the hearing and temporarily forgot his original purpose.
Priest Veblen and Pastor Lambert, who had been paying close attention to the conversation between the two, waited until it was nearly dusk before they saw Liu Ci smiling and sending Priest Moses out.
"It was a lovely conversation! You are a brave female warrior and a commendable older sister. ”
The priest of Moses said goodbye to Liu Ci, who smiled and watched the priest leave.
Lambert's eyes widened, and Veblen Priest looked confused. Neither of them could quite figure out what had happened in a very short period of time......
