"Damn, I shouldn't have agreed to this proposal in the first place. Sylvia cursed a few more times in annoyance after recounting the situation in Misha.

"It's useless for you to say anything now," Leo stood up, pressed Sylvia on the shoulder, and said, "You are now in the kingdom of Mares, and there is an ocean in between, and in the current situation, if something really happens over there, you will be done if you go back now." ”

"You're right. Sylvia nodded, calmed down a little, took a few deep breaths, calmed down completely, and then asked Leo as if changing the topic a little: "What are you going to buy at the auction this time? Do you still have enough money in your hands?" You must know that the cash checks and coins of the Bank of the Kingdom of England have been temporarily invalidated, and if the fog on the sea continues, and the Kingdom of England and other continents cannot be connected smoothly, these things will eventually become like waste paper. ”

"It's okay, I still have a lot of Saville's Kinsa and Maris coins on hand, enough for the auction," Leo smiled confidently and said, "Even if I don't have enough funds, I won't still mix potions, I think the black market and other organizations in the dark world should be interested in these potions." ”

"I forgot, you can still make potions. Sylvia smiled and said: "Judging from the current situation, the potion you have on hand is definitely the best-selling item in the dark world, and the price has been pushed up three times, this is not the bottom line, I think in a few months, you can control the shipment a little, and the price will increase tenfold." As she spoke, she reminded: "However, you still have to be careful to keep your whereabouts secret, otherwise it will cause some unnecessary trouble if people find out." ”

"Trouble?" Leo chuckled, "Are you worried that someone is going to do something to me?"

"I'm not worried about that," Sylvia shook her head and said with a smile: "Under the spread of the black market, you have now been confirmed as the last tower wizard, as long as you have a little sense, no one will take the initiative to trouble you, after all, the status of the tower wizard has been accumulated over the past thousand years." However, although they won't trouble you, they will annoy you, such as ......"

Just as Sylvia was speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, Leo walked to the door and opened the door, saw the hotel waiter standing outside the door, and then handed himself a piece of paper, indicating that someone had entrusted the hotel to give it to him.

Leo took the paper back to the room, and before he could open the paper to see what it contained, Sylvia, who had just glanced at the paper, said: "It's the Church of the Hill Kings, only they are so rigid, and they are still using reed papyrus as letter paper, it seems that the trouble I said has come to the door." ”

Leo listened to Sylvia's words, opened the paper, saw an address, an invitation, and the seal of the emblem of the King of the Hill, and after reading it, he casually threw the letter on the table and asked, "Hasn't the Church of the King of the Hill withdrawn from Yasha County?"

Sylvia explained, "They did withdraw, but they only withdrew from the Darkworld, and the ordinary missionaries and believers stayed behind to continue their missions in Ashashire. As long as these Sichuan Sect members don't do anything harmful to the stability of Yasha County, those blood clans and werewolves will not attack those ordinary believers and believers. ”

Sylvia continued, "Sherf, who came to Moonlight City with you, should have revealed your news to the church, and it stands to reason that he should now be in Minglan Province to assist the Hill Kings Church in brokering a civil war negotiations. Sherf is a pawn of the Church of the Kings of the Hill, and that incident was led by the Church of the Kings of the Hill back then, but it was actually just a temptation. ”

"Temptation?" Leo asked, puzzled, "Tempting whom?"

"Who else, of course, is the Orthodox Church. Sylvia poured herself and Leo another glass of wine, and said: "I don't know the specific things, but when the Orthodox Church was established, each church signed a divine contract, and under the effect of the divine contract, each church must send its own minimum twenty best paladins to join the Orthodox Church, and also give a large amount of support to the Orthodox Church every year to maintain the normal operation of the Orthodox Church." At the height of the Church's power, these manpower and financial support were nothing, after all, they were able to expand their influence through the Orthodox Church. But with the retreat of the gods, the emergence of the steam industry, the power of the Church plummeted, the governments and nobles began to hold real power, and the influence of the Orthodox Church was shrinking day by day, and it was not cost-effective to continue to provide so much human and financial support to the Orthodox Church, so they made such a temptation. ”

Leo said in a deep voice, "It seems that they finally got what they wanted, otherwise, the Orthodox Court would not have asked you, a witch, to be their arbiter." ”

"Yes!" Sylvia smiled disdainfully and said, "Do you know that there are twenty-seven adjudicators in the Orthodox Church, only five of whom are paladins from various churches, and most of the others have been hunted down by them as heretics before. ”

Leo was silent for a moment and asked, "If the gods return, the divine covenant of the Orthodox Church will come into play again, and the churches will inevitably have to fulfill the divine covenant again, in that case......"

"Fighting is inevitable in the Orthodox Church. Sylvia nodded, acknowledging Leo's guess, and then said, "Later, I'll go with you to the church of the King of the Hill, where I will resign as the Adjudicator." ”

"It's better to avoid getting involved in these pointless fights. Leo nodded in agreement with Sylvia's decision, but he asked, "Is the process of resigning from the Orthodox Church so childish and resigning?

"If it's a paladin of the church, it can't be so simple, but a judge like us naturally won't have too many restrictions," Sylvia casually took out a holy emblem of an Orthodox court adjudicator from her pocket and said, "We non-church adjudicators only need to give this emblem to the clergy of the church in any church to which the Orthodox Court belongs, and then we can step down from our positions." ”

"Is that too easy?" Leo frowned.

"That's what they want, too. Sylvia sneered, didn't continue the topic, and instead asked Leo, "After participating in the auction, will we go north as planned?"

"No, one more thing. Leo shook his head, handed Sylvia the invitation to White Swan Castle, and said, "I still want to go to White Swan Castle." ”

Sylvia was stunned and didn't open the invitation, as if she knew the content of the invitation, she said, "Do you think that foundation is really the wizard's tower foundation of the wizard of the tower?"

"It's not. Leo shook his head, thought about it for a moment, and said to Sylvia, "Do you remember when I went to Nine Golden Oak Street?"

Sylvia was stunned and nodded, "Of course I remember, you disappeared for several years after you went, and you didn't say anything about it when you came back, and I thought you would never tell me what happened." ”

Leo could hear Sylvia's complaints, and couldn't help but smile, and then reverted to his normal colors, and under Sylvia's gaze, carefully recounted what had happened after he entered 9 Golden Oak Street, and for some reason, he skipped it with great speed when mentioning the Lady of the Lake, without mentioning that the Lady of the Lake had tried to seduce him.

Sylvia was completely immersed in the magical encounters narrated by Leo, and did not notice some of Leo's narrative minor actions, and her mind now only had the misty Lake Town, the wizarding guild of Silvermoon Island, and the more incredible ruined capital, the place where it all ended, and so on.

Until Leo finished recounting the experience, she had not recovered from the narration, and sat in her chair for a long time.

Leo didn't bother her, but sat quietly and waited for her to recover.

After a while, Sylvia picked up the wine glass on the table, drank the wine inside, regained some of the expression on her face, and then asked Leo, "What you said is true?"

"It's true. Leo replied in the affirmative as he used the twin gloves as a medium of curiosity and cast a crystallized greatsword to prove his story.

Looking at the two dazzling crystalline swords in front of her, Sylvia searched all the information in her mind and found no record of any such witchcraft, which also made her fully believe Leo's words, and said with some chagrin, "Seriously, I regret it! ”

"That's not a good thing, in that case, you're probably going to stay in that world, just like the Horrors. Leo shook his head and said.

Sylvia pursed her lips with a disapproving expression, then she returned to the previous topic and said, "Are you suspicious of the foundation of the White Swan Castle, the foundation of the wizarding tower built by the Wizarding Guild?"

"Yes. Leo nodded.

Sylvia was silent for a moment, looked at Leo very seriously, and said, "I'm going this time too." ”

Leo was stunned and said with a smile: "As long as you can get an invitation, I don't object." ”

"It's easy to get an invitation. Sylvia said with a smile.

Then she got up, walked around the room, came to the bedroom, sat down on the bed very naturally, and said very directly to Leo, "I'll stay here tonight." ”

Leo was a little stunned, didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Seeing Leo answer so briskly, and with a calm face, Sylvia couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily, "Do you really know what I mean?"

"I think, I know. Leo smiled, turned around, walked to the living room, picked up the wine glasses and bottles on the table, returned to the bedroom, and closed the door with his hand.

After dark, a horse-drawn carriage quickly turned from Beirut Avenue in the upper city into an alley, through the alley, and through two relatively secluded small streets, it drove into the autumn leaves avenue of the downtown.

This avenue is the only four-horse carriageway in the lower city, this avenue connects the slum street and the factory area, because there are heavy vehicles driving all the year round, so that this road is seriously damaged, many places are potholes, although the carriage is installed with some shock absorbers, the driver also reduces the speed, but it is still inevitable to sway from side to side.

Maintaining balance under this shaking was not a difficult task for Sylvia, but she did not want to sit down at the moment, but when she shook, she collapsed on top of Leo, and then grabbed Leo's arm and leaned on it.

Leo's breath penetrated into her nose, reminding her of the scene she had just seen in the hotel, her normally normal face flushed and her body tighter.

At the same time, the feeling from his arm also pulled Leo back to the previous memory, it was the first time in his two lives, all the relevant knowledge and experience came from the cyborg period, the content of the conversation between the human companions, although a little rusty, but he felt that he should be doing well, because Sylvia's behavior at that time was somewhat similar to the description of the human companions.

For him, it was also an extremely wonderful experience, he could clearly feel that every cell in his body was burning, his brain seemed to enter another state, the body was no longer controlled by the brain, but driven by instinct, although the out-of-control state made him a little uncomfortable, but he did not resent that state.

Now, even though it has been a while, he still recalls the feeling at that time from time to time in his mind, and he also clearly feels that there are some indescribable changes in his mood and personality, he doesn't understand what this change is, he can only call it human nature for the time being, that is, driven by this human nature, he instinctively hugged Sylvia in his arms.

As the carriage gradually stopped, Sylvia got up from Leo's arms, then quickly tidied up her clothes, took a deep breath, suppressed the ups and downs just now, turned her head to look at Leo, who had calmed down, and said, "Your clothes are a little messy." As he spoke, he reached over and straightened Leo's clothes, then looked at Leo's not handsome face, and said, "I really don't know how I fell in love with you?"

Leo raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter if you like me or not, as long as I like you." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Sylvia to refute, he directly opened the car door and walked out.

Sylvia smiled when she heard Leo's words, and got out of the carriage with her, and after giving orders to the coachman, she quickly followed.

The two walked through a narrow alley and came to the church of the Hill Kings Church in Moonlight City, but it was hard to believe that the church in front of them was the church of the Hill King.
