Chapter 7 Subverting Cognition
The next day.
"Haha, Lei Luo, did you try it last night?"
Raylo's good friend Jill ran to Leylo's bedroom early in the morning and asked excitedly, his mouth under the helmet smiling, and he still carried a burlap bag on his shoulder.
"Damn, nothing happened, you liar!"
Lei Luo roared, causing Jill to laugh and laugh, "You really tried?" hahahaha, laugh at me, this is the Alpha Church, what kind of devil dares to appear here?"
"Hmph, there are no devils in the world!"
Lei Luo slowly walked out of the room with a burly figure that had already put on his armor, looked at the sack on Jill's shoulder, half a head lower than him, and said in surprise: "You are going to send a donation this time?"
"Well, Alpha Church has received a total of 5,500 gold coins this month, which is really not light. I'm leaving, I guess I'll stay there for a while, and I'll see you in the winter field!"
The so-called winter field training is the church's training for the best Holy Light Knights in each church, which is carried out once a year, and it is also an important way to be promoted.
If he is selected again this year, it is very likely that he will be promoted to the arbiter because of this, and his status among the guardian knights of the church is second only to many cardinal lords.
"When I arrived in the imperial capital, I remembered to say hello to my uncle on my behalf when I saw him. ”
Like Lei Luo, Jill is also inextricably linked in the Imperial Capital Church, and it is precisely because of this that the two can become friends after arriving in Alpha City.
"Got it, got it, just say that your little nephew was almost scared into peeing his pants by the bard scam, hahahaha!"
After saying that, Jill laughed with the money bag on his shoulder, and disappeared with a puff of smoke.
Speechless to his friend, Lei Luo stood in front of the mirror after putting on the knight's armor, a height of one meter nine, standing upright, heroic, and his eyes under the majestic metal helmet were extremely mysterious.
Very satisfied with his appearance, Lei Luo looked at the bed tent where he and the nun had been in the rain yesterday and shook his head.
"After this winter passes, I will be twenty-five years old, a twenty-five-year-old arbiter, although not the youngest in history, is also a rare genius knight, that's right, Lei Luo, you are the best!"
Under the helmet, Lei Luo smiled proudly, and then deliberately kept a straight face, maintained a majestic and mysterious appearance, and walked out of the door.
Dada......
Riding on a high horse, the Knight of Light patrols a street every morning and provides necessary assistance to the citizens as part of spreading the faith of light and part of the Knight of Light's self-cultivation.
On both sides of the street, grocery stores, pubs, flower shops, rouge shops, spice shops are endless, scattered vegetable stalls, butcher shops are on the corner, and there are occasional small stalls selling fresh fruit and honey, and at the end of the street is a paper mill and opera house, only one street away from the Alpha City Library.
An old lady carrying a heavy basket of vegetables in front of her walked slowly, almost day after day, and Lei Luo was used to this, and when she came to the street every day, she took the initiative to carry vegetables for the old woman and set up a sales stall, and of course the same is true today.
With silver and white hair, the old lady smiled warmly and said gratefully, "Thank you so much." ”
The tall Lei Luo said calmly: "It is the God of Light who spreads warmth to the world, and any seed who believes in the God of Light needs help, as long as he prays with his heart, the Holy Light Knight will be the first to arrive!"
Snow-white teeth, Lei Luo made a standardized smile, his tall body guarded the weak, and maintained light and justice, the old woman couldn't help nodding, and her grin showed uneven missing teeth.
A piece of joy, once day after day beautiful.
Suddenly.
This day-to-day beauty was suddenly interrupted by Lei Luo's innermost consciousness!
"Is it true that I am doing this because of my belief in the God of Light, or is it because I am so helpful because I am so willing to gain the admiration of others, to find the joy of being watched, and to be the focus of attention?
Lei Luo breathed hard at such a terrible thought that suddenly came to him.
However, before he could refute it, another more terrible thought inexplicably came out of his heart.
"This old guy carries a heavy basket of vegetables day after day, she has two sons, why don't she ask her two sons to help her, is she treating herself as free labor, so that those two sons can have more time to make money?"
Needless to say, these sudden thoughts are naturally bewitching the devil.
"No!"
Lei Luo rebelled inwardly: "Her two sons, both devout members of the church, come to worship every weekend and repent of their mistakes, she is definitely not such a person!"
In the process of constantly struggling with his inner thoughts, Lei Luo has helped the old man to support the corner vegetable stall and arrange the vegetables one by one, enjoying the selfless praise of the old lady.
However, when Lei Luo was greatly satisfied by the praise, the evil thought that came out of nowhere continued: "Is it? Then why doesn't she come early and late every day, but at this time? Isn't it because she happens to be in the same position every day when she is on patrol?"
Goo.
Lei Luo swallowed, the smile of satisfaction that appeared under his helmet stiffened.
After bidding farewell to the old man, Lei Luo continued to ride his war horse, and under the cold helmet, his eyes looked at a few idle thugs on the street: "You guys, you'd better be honest, if you are caught again, it won't be simply imprisoned." ”
These idle young people are all orphans in Alpha City, and although they are now seventeen or eighteen years old, they still have no interest and are mediocre all day long.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will never do, I swear by the faith of the God of Light. ”
A few hippie-faced thugs flattered.
Lei Luo snorted coldly, and was about to walk away as usual, when deep down, terrible thoughts appeared again!
"Hmph, the faith of the God of Light swears, have they ever believed in the God of Light? If they don't sneak around, they will be idle all day long, and what will they use to support themselves?"
The evil bewitchment of the devil lingers in Lei Luo's heart.
God says we must have mercy! They are orphans in Alpha City, they have no parents since they were young, and they have no way out, this is the only way for them to live, and the city accepts their existence. ”
Once again, Lei Luo used his self-consciousness to resist the devil's bewitchment.
"Have mercy on them? If you have mercy on them, what about the innocent people who have suffered losses, they are all faithful believers in the God of Light, don't they deserve mercy?
Terrible thoughts, the bewitchment of the evil devil, Lei Luo was silent again, his face gloomy and terrifying.
After walking for a while, Lei Luo came to the end of the morning market, dismounted and took off his helmet, and said majestically in the same voice as before: "Two pieces of black bread, a plate of beef jerky, ordinary fresh milk, and a boiled vegetables." ”
"It's coming. ”
A pure and shy voice responded.
After a while, the tall girl in the apron came and put down the fried bread, beef jerky, fresh milk, and boiled vegetables on the tray, and under the golden hair, the girl blinked at the young knight with a pair of sky-blue eyes, and her gaze was full of fascination.
After each delivery, the girl stood beside Lei Luo for a while, looking at this handsome and tall knight, unable to extricate herself, until she was really embarrassed, she shook her long wavy blonde hair and left with a blushing face.
Lei Luo enjoyed this, and deep down he also had some indescribable feelings for this girl, which the bewitching devil could clearly feel.
Even if it weren't for the background of both parties, Lei Luo might have accepted the other party's love, and the hypocritical class difference made Lei Luo bury this love in his heart, and maybe he would never express it.
It is precisely for this reason that coming here every morning to eat has become a necessary activity for Lei Luo.
"Are you really worthy of the other party's love? Although I am the nephew of the Cardinal Master, the future adjudicator and even the Cardinal Master, is I really worthy of such a clear, pure, and beautiful girl?"
It was supposed to be breakfast time without distractions, but deep in Lei Luo's heart, such a thought appeared again.
The continuous demonic bewitchment completely subverted the young knight's inner health, as if the whole world was quietly covered with a black veil, and the psychological cognitive outlook continued to collapse.
While grabbing the beef jerky and chewing, Lei Luo roared inwardly, this is Lei Luo's instinctive rebellion against the bewitching devil.
"I'm just playing with Ariana, she's a nun, God's handmaiden, we can't have results, after leaving her, I'm still a knight of the Holy Light, and I have a good chance of becoming an arbiter or even a cardinal master in the future!
"I dare to defile even God's handmaiden, do I really believe in the God of Light? How can a person who has no faith, who has been abandoned by God, be worthy of such a simple and beautiful girl?"
"Ah......h
Lei Luo didn't understand what was wrong with him today.
Although the world is still running as usual, everything in front of me has changed, as if everyone is wearing a false mask, and they seem to have suddenly opened their minds, seeing another side of the soul of no one, including themselves.
"It must be that my faith in the God of Light is not strong enough and not pious enough, and I must immediately pray and repent......!"
