The convoy rested only overnight in the city of Joburg, and the next morning, when the priest of light replenished them with food and water, the old priest Veblen politely refused the warm offer and beckoned the convoy to continue on its way.

After Weiss's mouth, Liu Ci became more and more careful when watering Lao Zhu, and even practiced qi and meditated. She also asked Samman to make an opaque cloth cover for Lao Zhu, and decided not to let it be exposed to people easily in the future.

After half a month of insistent spring watering, the color of the old bamboo gradually turned from green to black.

The weather has not yet warmed up, and the old bamboo has been moistened by the spring water of the lotus pond, and has produced a lot of new leaves. Liu Ci doesn't care about those leaves, but if there are germinating branches, she will stop them in advance.

What she wants is not a towering bamboo that grows amazingly, but needs it to continue to enrich and compress the spiritual energy contained in itself in such a length, and finally change from quantitative to qualitative, becoming a real spiritual material that can be used by monks.

Slowly, the convoy moved away from Emster City.

After most of the month, they had come to the border of the diocese of Emst, and further on, there was the city of the diocese of Jesdan in front of them.

"In front of us is the city of Rouen in the diocese of Jesdan and we will stay in the city for a whole day, not only to rest and recuperate, but also to make contact with the people of the diocese of Jesdan ".

Priest Veblen replied to the left and right, and both attendants nodded in silence. The seven dioceses belong to the Holy See and are all under the orders of His Majesty the Pope, but they do not necessarily have a harmonious relationship with each other.

Just as there was a well-known old feud between Bishop Simpson and Bishop Edward of the Diocese of Selmont, Veblen's loyalty to God was undeniable, but there were also many colleagues who had misrelations during his long career in the priesthood.

His attitude was so solemn because the priests of light stationed in the city of Rouen had some dirty feelings with him.

Although the other party will not be too helpful in escorting the dark mage, it is not impossible to cause a little trouble for the convoy and look at the joke of the parish of Amster.

When they arrived in Rouen, the Veblen priests had to deal with it with their spirits, far less relaxed than when they slept in the wilderness.

Although the Knights of Light did not understand the reason, Priest Veblen told everyone to cheer up, and they solemnly agreed and took it to heart.

Weis, who was leaning on the side of the carriage, did not have the consciousness of eavesdropping on immoral behavior at all, and suddenly turned his head and smiled at Liu Ci: "You see, those who believe in the God of Light are not really selfless people." ”

Liu Ci didn't ignore him as he guessed, but thought about it seriously for a long time before answering him.

"Where there are people, there is strife, there is selfishness. If the world really finds the pure land of selflessness, then the human beings living in that environment will probably lose their enterprising spirit, become indulged in pleasure, indulge in comfort and do not want to make progress. ”

Just like herself, once she is comfortable for too long, she will lose her vigilance, and the whole person will become scattered. Even if you don't ask about the monks of the world, you have to fight with the heavens and compete with the same kind, everyone thinks about immortality, thinks about ascending to the spiritual realm, and ascends to the immortal realm.

But when you reach the spiritual realm and the fairy realm, can you really be worry-free? Liu Ci never thought so. Immortality with nothing to do, what's the use of asking for it, no matter how far she cultivates, there is always a higher ladder waiting for her to climb.

It is normal for the Holy See to have struggles for power, for the territory of believers, for all kinds of private fights - this is just a continent on a certain planet, and people cannot naively believe that there is no suffering here, everything is equal because it is called "light".

Weiss thought about it and had to agree with Liu Ci's statement.

"You're right, the Dark Council of the overseas continent, although it acts more relaxed and open than the Holy See, is not an absolute pure land......"

"It's like that day, there was obviously a big black ship stuck in the sea under Ordolun Peak, they rescued so many dark mages, but they didn't take you, the liaison who sneaked into the Bright Continent?

I said, since you all have the ability to smuggle in, why do you let a group of dark mages attack the barrier on the roof of the continent with great momentum. The Dark Council slowly sent people to infiltrate, and the Holy See and the Magic Association didn't notice it, didn't you just successfully infiltrate all parts of the Bright Continent? ”

Liu Ci saw that the priest Veblen summoned the knights of light to instruct, and no one noticed that Weiss and himself were standing next to the carriage, so he couldn't help but move his mouth slightly, and asked a few more questions.

Probably her question hit Weiss's sore spot, and the middle-aged mage snorted lightly, turned his head into the carriage, and ignored her.

Liu Ci's face was full of innocence, she was just curious. There is a way for Vis not to alarm others to cross the barrier, and the last time he was on Ordoren Peak, the movement of the group of dark mages attacking the barrier was too great...... Could it be that Weiss's method can only be crossed in one direction?

Liu Ci, who only got the Qi Cultivation Law Determination and the Talisman Inheritance, and had no other monk's means, was quite curious about magic enchantments and the like, but unfortunately Weiss was poked in the glass heart and ignored her.

It's a loss.

Liu Ci yawned lazily, waiting for Priest Veblen to give the order to hit the road again.

"I heard that Jesdan is much warmer than Emster, and when we get to Rouen, how about I ask the tailor to come to the church and make us some Jestein-style dresses?"

Thornman nodded dumbly.

Miss's mind always jumps so fast, being a maid really can't relax at any time, and she has to spur herself forward.

The next day, the Veblen priest first asked the knight of light to enter the city quickly, delivered an official letter signed by the bishop of Simpson, and obtained permission, and then led the people into the city of Rouen.

Liu Ci and the others still stayed in the church in the city.

Although the city of Rouen is close to the diocese of Amster, the city has a very different appearance. There are no herders or livestock in the city, and as a neighbor who consumes a lot of meat products, the price of its food is even lower than that of Emst.

When Liu Ci came, he also discussed with Sanman, and when he arrived in the city of Rouen, he would ask the tailor to come to the door to make new dresses for them. But when he got out of the carriage and saw a heartthrob face exuding male charm all the time, Liu Ci was really in no mood.

"Priest Veblen, can you tell me how he is here? Looks like it's waiting for us? ”

Liu Ci stepped forward, did not lower his voice, and asked very simply.

The priest of Veblen followed her gaze and saw a middle-aged nobleman politely talking to the priest of light in the city of Rouen, and the old priest was also happy:

"That's the Marquis of Stleiff, right? It seems that he is not too difficult to get along with, I really don't know how you have formed such a big mortal enemy. As for why he is here...... You're right, he's just waiting for us. He vouched for the reputation of the Stryff family and reported you in his real name, and since Bishop Simpson was going to send you to the Holy Land to plead his case, the person who reported you must go with him to testify. ”

Liu Ci was angry for two minutes when he heard the anger at first, and suddenly smiled at the old priest: "Did the Marquis offend Bishop Simpson?" ”

The big nobleman who held the position of the city lord reported it with his family reputation, and it was the Bishop Simpson who sent Liu Ci to the Holy Land Port for this kind of thing, and it was said that Liu Ci could be directly taken down and escorted to the Holy Land Port for questioning. Now he wants the lord of a city to leave his official duties and go to the Holy Land Harbor together...... Liu Ci's mind turned slightly, and he guessed that the Marquis of Stleiff must have offended Bishop Simpson.

Priest Veblen glanced at her, "You're talkative. ”

Liu Ci was despised, and he was not annoyed at all, but secretly refreshed. Veblen did not refute it, and judging by the old priest's character, she had guessed the truth.

Looking at Marquis Strave in this mood, the anger in Liu Ci's heart also went down.

She even looked at the Marquis with a smile.

The heartthrob marquis probably also felt Liu Ci's "hot" gaze, turned his head, and then his polite face changed drastically.

The complex expression of sadness, surprise, blame and other emotions gathered on one face is really thanks to his vivid performance.

"Oh, look who this is? My poor niece, Rachel Lorenz, what have you been through all these years that even Uncle Streve has forgotten! Poor Rachel, don't be sad, just go to the Holy Land with your uncle and the Holy See will restore your memory...... Don't worry, the guilt of the Lorenz family should not be borne by you, a weak girl, and your uncle will ensure your personal safety with the power of the Strif family, my poor child. ”

The Marquis's words were earnest, and at last he almost burst into tears.

Even Weis, who was poked in the glass heart by Liu Ci and was not ready to deal with her in the near future, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The atmosphere brewed by the Marquis's hard performance was suddenly struck to the ground.

Humiliated in front of the Dark Mage, both the Diocese of Amster and the Light Priests of Rouen felt that the Marquis of Streif's actions were too inappropriate.

Liu Ci simply took the handkerchief from Sang Man's hand, carefully wiped the saliva on his hand, and asked the priest of light in Rouen City: "My lord, is Mr. Marquis's condition aggravated and he needs to go to the Holy Land Port for treatment?" ”

Priest Veblen scolded, "Don't be rude, this is Priest Vaolet. ”

Although Priest Vaolet did not deal with Veblen, he was actually a handsome uncle who was middle-aged and had a very rare funny personality in the serious background of the Holy See.

He was able to chat happily with the Marquis of Strave, and when he recalled the meaning of Liu Ci's words, he himself couldn't help laughing.

"No need to be polite, we are all equal before God. Little girl, Monsieur Marquis says he is your uncle, and you say he is not lightly ill, it seems that there must be an interesting story hidden in it. ”

The Marquis of Strave, who was "not lightly ill", felt a burst of heat behind his ears, as if he had been slapped in the face. Although he barely kept a smile on his side, Liu Ci noticed the resentment that flashed in his eyes.

Liu Ci sneered in his heart, the fox will pretend again, and there will always be a time when the tail is exposed. It will take more than half a year to go to the Holy Land Port, and she is idle, and she is slowly "funny" with the marquis.
