Chapter 4: Rice's Special Training
When Alan ran into the garden, he saw a middle-aged man standing in the garden, with an hourglass next to him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Seeing Alan running over, Les pointed to the hourglass.
"Lunch begins after the clock strikes noon, and the time is one hour, and this hourglass is exactly an hour's measurement. So, you are late, Your Highness the Son. ”
Alan immediately retorted: "It will take time for me to come over, but I will come immediately after the meal!"
"If you want to contradict me about that, then you don't have to be trained by me. Now, you're late, and as punishment, run from here to the Cathedral of the Holy City and back again. If you don't want to, you can leave now!"
Alan felt that his identity as a holy son did not seem to have any effect on the man in front of him, this person was even more unkind than the instructor during the military training back then.
The elevation of Brilliant Mountain is about 1000 meters, located in the west of the Holy City, and the Holy City Cathedral is located in the middle of the city, the foot of the mountain is about 4000 meters away from the church. This punishment is simply to put people to death.
Les glanced at Allen's expression, and said, "I see that you said that you want to practice martial arts, but you are just talking, since you don't want to, then I will go back and report to the Pope." His Highness the Holy Son will continue to read and study honestly. ”
Alan naturally understood that Rice was just provoking himself, but the contempt and disdain in his tone still stimulated Allen's fragile little liver.
"Who said I didn't want to, since you asked, I'll run right away. But before that, should you tell me your honorable name? ”
"Haha, what, do you want to 'repay' me in the future? I'm Rice, the leader of the Brilliant Knights, don't find the wrong person. Also, don't be opportunistic on the road, I'll watch. Les said to Alan with a smile, and Alan stared at him fiercely, turned and ran out of the garden.
That's right, Alan originally planned to find a place to stay halfway and come back when the time was almost over, but Rice's warning made him dismiss this idea, although he knew that he might just be scaring himself, but if Rice really followed him quietly, it would be over.
In fact, as Rice said, Alan is not very interested in practicing martial arts, especially from the Pope, knowing that the most powerful master in this world is just fighting with beasts, so he can't be even more energetic. After all, the martial arts that he fantasizes about must be at worst a miracle skill such as the Great Shift of the Universe, rather than simply exercising physical strength. So when Les said to let Alan leave, Alan was very willing in his heart, but he was stimulated by the "honest reading and studying" in Rice's words later, so he accepted the punishment angrily.
And our Lord Rice lay down on the lawn of the garden after Alan ran out of sight. "Ah, it's been a long time since it's been this easy. Then he stretched and closed his eyes.
Alan was struggling on the way down the mountain at this time, and he ran out of the Holy See in one breath only to find that although this body was not bad, it was definitely not good, but after running four or five hundred meters, his heart began to beat faster, and his breathing was heavy, which made Alan want to give up, anyway, he could still be a holy son without practicing martial arts, and took over the position of pope many years later, and from then on he was at ease to be a god stick. But the thought of Rice's eyes and words made Allen feel strongly unwilling, so he gritted his teeth and continued to run down the mountain.
......
"Child, I know I have wronged you, but this is also a test, stick to your beliefs and not be swayed by the outside world, which is also a necessary quality for a qualified clergyman. Elaine, who walked out of the temple, silently reflected on the Pope's last words, and secretly made up her mind.
Thinking that the Pope had informed him that the Son was learning martial arts from the Knights of Rice in the garden, Elaine walked briskly towards the garden. Now she is not afraid of those discussions, and she has decided to do what she can to help and teach the Son.
"What, Lord Rice, you let His Highness the Holy Son leave the Holy Mountain, don't you know that His Highness the Holy Son is in a very unsafe situation now, how can you do this, you are still sleeping here!"
"Little girl, first of all, with the physique of the Holy Son, he has definitely not escaped from the Holy Mountain yet. Secondly, I have my own arrangements, and the Son will be fine. Les, still lying on the lawn, said lazily, "Also, I'm not here to avenge you!"
"What avenges me?" Elaine wondered.
"Didn't the Holy Son make you cry at noon, otherwise I would be too late to find fault with it. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, Lord Rice, I ......" Elaine didn't know much about the knight who didn't often live in the Holy Mountain, and heard this as if she had been teased.
"My lord," said one of the knights, walking into the garden, "there is movement. ”
"Little girl, don't be shy, I'll take you to see how I can kill all the moths in a net. After listening to the knight's report, Les stood up from the lawn and said to Elaine, who was still blushing.
Elaine seemed to understand something, and her face changed: "Are you using His Highness the Holy Son as bait?"
Les didn't expect this little girl to figure everything out so quickly, it seems that this is not just a vase next to the Holy Son.
Seeing that Les was silent, Elaine was even more sure of her judgment.
"Does His Holiness know about this?"
Les saw Elaine's eyes glued to him, and he felt a little weak in his heart.
"Ahem, you don't have to bother the Pope for a little thing. ”
"His Highness the Holy Son has finally regained his senses, and now his safety is related to the entire Holy See, how can Lord Rice be so careless and let His Highness the Holy Son be the bait without the consent of His Royal Highness the Pope!, and His Royal Highness the Holy Son has no idea about this!" Elaine's little face was full of anger and anxiety, "I'm going to tell His Majesty the Pope, is Lord Rice going with me?"
Faced with Elaine, who was as aggressive as an angry lioness, Les had no choice but to wave off the knight who told the news and rushed to the temple with herine.
Edward IV looked at Elaine, who had returned and looked anxious, and then looked at Les helplessly, thought for a moment, and said: "Rice, since someone has surfaced, let's send someone to bring the Holy Son back." ”
"However, what is coming out now is just a few minions, and the real mastermind behind the scenes has not yet appeared!" Rice's face, which had been indifferent, finally showed a trace of dissatisfaction, "If we stop here, I am afraid that they will hide even deeper, and it will be even more difficult to find when the time comes! ”
Before the Pope could speak, Elaine said angrily: "That is also your mistake, such an important matter was rashly acted without prior notice and arrangement, and did not care about the safety of the Holy Son at all. "This is the first time that Elaine has broken the rules of her words since she entered the Holy See.
"Now I don't know how many people in the sect have evil intentions, and the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and besides, how can I not take the safety of the Holy Son to heart. Rice retorted.
"Then you say, how many people protect His Highness the Holy Son!" Elaine asked, staring at Rice. From the first time she saw Les, Elaine's keen sense of femininity told her that this person was definitely an eclectic and confident person, although she didn't know Rice, but Elaine could guess that Les was gambling with the sentence "His Royal Highness the Holy Son definitely didn't run out of the holy mountain".
Indeed, Rice was taking a big gamble, and he concluded that the men in black in the alley that night had a big plan, so they would never do anything on the Holy Mountain in order to hide their identities. And Rice is betting that Alan can catch the real culprit behind the scenes before he runs out of the holy mountain. But now, I still have to deny it.
"Well, naturally, someone is secretly protecting His Highness the Holy Son, right, Your Majesty the Pope!" Les didn't believe that the Holy Son would have no one to protect him.
Edward IV knew what Les was, and when he saw him looking at him hopefully, he said helplessly: "This afternoon, the Holy Son practiced martial arts with you, and the secret guard withdrew......"
Elaine was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, and Les was a little dumbfounded, he was not a desperate gambler, he originally thought that someone must protect him secretly, so he would only use a few cronies to make this plan, but now it is really difficult to ride a tiger.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and get the Holy Son back! As for the inner ghost, let's talk about it later. The Pope made the final decision, and Rice also knew that the safety of the Holy Son was at stake, so he didn't dare to oppose it anymore, so he hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
"Your Majesty, I will also go to the Son. Elaine said goodbye to the Pope with a little impatience and hurried away.
Edward IV wanted to stop him, but he knew that the child would not be at ease, so she let her go. It seems that what she said to her was a bit heavy, and it made her lose her proportion.
"My lord, that kid is leaving the holy mountain and coming to the city!"
"What, this is true? It's not a trap, how could the current situation allow him to leave the Holy Mountain. ”
"My lord, it's true, that kid was late for this afternoon to practice martial arts with Les, and Les punished him for running from the holy mountain to the cathedral and back. Definitely not a trap!"
"Oh, Les, this guy is back. But it doesn't matter, you go to these places to contact people, and we'll do it as soon as that kid leaves the Holy Mountain!"
When the news of the search for the Holy Son spread throughout the Holy Mountain, Allen, who estimated that Les had just run to the mountainside, had already seen the stone statue at the foot of the Holy Mountain.
"I'm tired of Lao Tzu, Huhu, it's really harder to go down the mountain than to go up, I remember, Huhuhu, Les, Huhu, wait for me to succeed to the throne, Huhu, I will definitely kill you." Whew...... "Alan cheered himself up with his famous Spiritual Victory Method, and at the same time ran briskly towards the foot of the mountain not far away. At this time, the knights who were looking for the Son were still searching down the mountainside.
Panting, Alan also didn't notice that at the foot of the mountain there were several pilgrim-looking people staring at him closely, silently waiting for him to leave the holy mountain.
