Chapter 181: Weiss Attitude
Liu Ci still clearly remembers that when she and Weiyi left the black prison of the Holy See, they said blessings, hoping that Weiss could save his life.
The Dark Mage was unimpressed at the time, telling Liu Ci that he would soon be leaving Amster, and hoped that the two would meet again.
Well, the two really met again, for such a short time, and on such a cheating occasion......
"Mr. Weiss, do you need to stay and dine with us? My maid is not good at crafting, and the dinner tastes good. ”
Liu Ci swallowed the broth, and also swallowed and suffocated at the same time.
Looks like she's going to be with the Dark Mage along the way. And Weiss was dressed well at this time, his physical injuries had healed, and his whole person was refreshing, except that his mental power was still imprisoned, and he really couldn't see that he was an important prisoner of the Holy See.
The middle-aged mage, who was in a completely different state from when he was in the black prison, nodded reservedly and solemnly expressed his gratitude to Liu Ci.
"Our fate is always reflected in the food, and I personally miss the taste of the roast chicken I ate last time, and I really look forward to tasting it again."
Liu Ci laughed.
Whatever people eat when they are hungry is delicious, and roast chicken is not a supreme delicacy, but she bought it casually in Amster City and used it to exchange for news about the overseas mainland, which is simply a huge profit.
Now there will definitely be no more such huge profits, except that Weiss is not free, and the Holy See has obviously changed its attitude towards him.
Sanman slices the fresh meat and grills it over a campfire.
Weiss drank two sips of the preserved fruit brought out of the manor, praised it, and then asked casually, why Liu Ci was escorted to the Holy Land Port.
Liu Ci sighed: "A nobleman I once provoked in the foreign diocese, he swore an oath of his family reputation and reported to the Holy See, saying that I was a descendant of a traitorous clan, and colluded with dark creatures to endanger the safety of the diocese of Amster. ”
Vis almost choked, "What?! Let's not talk about treason, whether it should be handed over to the Holy See for disposal. To say that you are in collusion with dark creatures is even more inexplicable - others may not be able to see it, but as a dark mage, you can feel that the aura on your body is far more vibrant and green than ordinary people. If it weren't for the fact that you were a real human inside and out, I would have suspected that you were an elf. Humans with your constitution are generally regarded as excellent supplements by dark creatures, and it's really hard for me to imagine that there would be dark creatures who resist the temptation to swallow you and make a deal with you...... That's too determined! ”
Weiss was full of indignation, and shouted for Liu Ci.
His tone was so impassioned that several knights of light looked in this direction, and even Priest Veblen looked at Liu Ci and the others, and threw Liu Ci a warning look.
Liu Ci's mouth opened slightly, and at this moment, he really wanted to press Weiss's uneven face into the bonfire-
"Ahem, I say, Mr. Ves, did you mean it?"
Liu Ci lowered his voice and warned.
Weiss blinked with an expression that I didn't understand what you were talking about: "Little girl, you are so sad that you actually question the heart of a gentleman who wants to help you. ”
Liu Ci gritted his teeth and said, "You argue for me again, the charge of my collusion with the dark creatures has not been cleared, and a new charge of associating with the dark mage will be added soon." ”
Weiss squinted and smiled: "I don't know the hearts of good people, and if you have dealings with the Dark Mage, maybe you can save your life." Look at me now, isn't my treatment improved? ”
Liu Ci's heart moved, and he felt that Weiss had something to say. Ask again, but he only cared about eating barbecue, praising Sanman's craftsmanship over and over again, praising the little girl's face red, and no longer answering Liu Ci's words.
Liu Ci had to take a break and concentrate on dealing with the food on the plate.
After dinner, Vis patted his ass and left, and calmly slept in the black-rimmed carriage that belonged to him under the watchful gaze of the Knight of Light.
Liu Ci sensitively noticed that two days ago, the Knights of Light, who had obviously changed their attitude towards her, looked at her with three more points of vigilance after hearing Weiss's shouting.
In their eyes, she is probably the same as the Dark Mage, a special kind of Holy See repeat offender, but she must not be taken lightly.
She was annoyed that Vis had made such a move, and when she thought that the first day of her trip to the Holy Land was about to pass like this, the Veblen priest sent someone to invite her.
The old priest sat in the pure white and holy four-wheeled carriage of the Holy See, and the two clergymen who were not there beside him, and he solemnly warned Liu Ci:
"To tell you the truth, Bishop Simpson and I both believe that the Marquis de Strave's letter of accusation is intended to avenge you for a personal vendetta, and that the Bishop is unwilling to wronged an innocent person, so he asked me to take you to the Holy Land Harbor to give you a chance to defend yourself. My goddaughter Weiyi also begged me to take care of you all the way...... But if you continue to have a close relationship with the Dark Mage regardless of the influence, and with so many pairs of honest and selfless eyes watching, even Bishop Simpson can't defend you when you arrive in Holy Land Harbor, so you can do it yourself. ”
Liu Ci's face was full of helplessness, she had dealt with her twice, the old priest Veblen could almost be regarded as a moral model in the Holy See, she could not be religious, but there was no way to accuse this old man, especially when people were still openly and secretly on her side, trying to help her.
So Liu Ci didn't argue, honestly admitted his mistakes, and promised that he would stay away from the dark mage.
Her obedience won the favor of the old priest, and the old man's face softened a lot, and he said: "Before leaving, Weiyi seems to have given you a few bottles of medicine, which are all her alchemy products, the effect can only be said to be unexpected, you better not use it easily." ”
The priests of the Holy See were to dedicate their lives to God, so they were not married and would not have direct descendants. In a sense, godchildren and goddaughters are the descendants they pour their feelings into, and their godfathers treat their feelings like children.
Veblen's tolerance for Liu Ci is obviously also a love for the house and Wu.
reminded Liu Ci to be cautious in using the potion, probably for fear that she would cause trouble for Weiyi. Liu Ci's heart is high, but people care about her goddaughter, and she won't be bored if she can't listen to it.
After chatting with the old priest for a few more words, Liu Ci was sent away.
Back in the carriage, Thornman had lowered his seat and laid out the bed. Wrapped in a thick robe, Samman was about to climb out of the carriage, but was grabbed by Liu Ci. When I was in the manor, the personal maid had to take turns to keep vigil, but now in the cold field, the teenage girl may fall ill after freezing all night.
"You sleep on the right side, don't refuse, Nana, what did they tell you? If you don't, I'm not far from Emster City now, and I'll be able to send you back!" ”
Sang Man moved his mouth, Liu Ci's intimidation made the little girl feel very aggrieved, she was able to follow her to the Holy Land Harbor but envied the other maids.
However, Liu Ci asked her to stay in the car for the night, and she was very moved in her heart.
Liu Ci lay in the carriage, absorbing the magical elements around him very slowly. In the sea of knowledge, the lotus flower, whose appearance has been mutated, is quite dissatisfied with Liu Ci's slackness and conveys her complaint.
Liu Ciliang asked it rhetorically, did he want to be discovered by a dark mage or a priest of the Holy See, and be dug out of his sea of knowledge and sliced for study?
Zhihailian immediately became honest and no longer shook the leaves casually.
Liu Ci saw Sang Man curled up in the corner and fell asleep, so he got up and secretly watered the lotus pond spring water for the dark green bamboo knots that were placed aside.
As soon as the droplets overflowing with aura fall into the clay pot, they are absorbed by the well-developed root system of the old bamboo.
In the dark, the color of the ink bamboo seems to have deepened. Liu Ci then lay down and slept peacefully.
Early the next morning, after a hurried wash, and breakfast, the team hit the road again.
The mountain road is not as wide and smooth as the street in the city, and the carriage is shaking badly, except for gossiping with Sangman, Liu Ci most of the time takes the opportunity to close his eyes and recuperate his mind to secretly practice qi cultivation.
Little by little, she devoured the magical elements of heaven and earth, because they were natural elements, and in the next few days, she did not attract the attention of the old priest Veblen and the dark mage Ves.
Seeing that this method was feasible, Liu Ci decided not to give up practicing qi and meditating along the way.
In February, the Amster region was almost covered with snow, the scenery outside the window was always the same, and there were only a few merchants on the road, who were very happy about the safety of their caravan when they saw the frame of the Holy See, but they only dared to follow from a distance, and did not come forward to talk.
After several days of this boring rush to live, Liu Ci didn't talk to Levis again, and the other party didn't know what to think about, so he didn't come to harass her.
Until the convoy came to another steppe city in the diocese of Amster, "Joburg".
Veblen is the parish of Amster, one of the twelve priests of light, and Joburg also has a priest of light, but his qualifications are not as good as Veblen's. In addition, the old priest was responsible for the mission, and the priest of light in the city of Joburg would definitely come to meet him.
Weiss was a repeat offender of the Holy See, and the old priest Veblen would definitely not allow him to roam freely in the city, stained with the light of the dark mage, and Liu Ci had to stay in the church with him.
The whitewashed walls, painted with brightly colored paints, are painted with the legendary stories of the Holy See, and it is not patient to appreciate them as art buildings, and if you really want to live in them, Liu Ci feels that it is better to sleep in a carriage.
It's a pity that she didn't have the final say on this trip.
Samman carried her luggage out of the carriage, and the little girl felt very unreal that she could spend the night in the church.
But she looked down at her clothes, and was no longer a ragged outcast, relying on frugality to make occasional cloth and offer inferior wine and cheap fresh meat. She should still be able to live in the church, right?
Liu Ci didn't understand Sang Man's complicated feelings, so she felt that she was a little absent-minded. Seeing that no one from the church stepped forward to help, Liu Ci himself picked up the clay pot planted with old bamboo.
Weiss happened to get down from the black-edged carriage, and when he walked past Liu Ci under the watchful eye of several knights of light, he suddenly stopped and looked at the old bamboo that Liu Ci was holding in his hand.
"This plant ...... Well, it's special. ”
Liu Ci nodded expressionlessly: "The gift from a friend is not special, and ordinary people are embarrassed to take it out." ”
Weiss smiled and didn't continue to ask, both of them reversed the intimacy of the previous few days, no longer had warm greetings, passed each other, and walked in the direction of the completely opposite room.
