Chapter 69: Lords and Priests
With Illya's help, Meiyi finally gained the trust of the vast majority of students. Some of Meiyi's crazy admirers said that they would go to Sombra City to find him at any time as long as Meiyi greeted him.
When I got home, it was raining lightly, and the streets of the True Spirit were covered with red and yellow dead leaves. Mei Yi and Illya take shelter from the rain under a huge phoenix tree on the side of the street. Illya asked, "Lord Meiyi, are you ready to bring everything you want to bring to Sombra?" ”
Mei Yi said: "I can't prepare it on my own. My friends in Hua Ling helped a lot. Now there is a team of less than a hundred people, and the rest can only be said in Sombra City. ”
Illya asked, "Did you take the clergy?" The clergy are indispensable. ”
Mei Yi thought to herself: I almost forgot about this! In the past, when some countries were fighting, they would always bring a priest, whose role was no less than that of a psychiatrist. There are many priests in this world, but they have mastered the mysterious healing technique, and the effect is even greater.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Lord Bishop, can you let Sister Luo Luoqi go to Sombra City with me?" ”
Illya stopped, looked at Mei Yi with golden almost transparent eyes, and said softly, "I'll go instead of Luo Luoqi, is it okay?" I've always wanted to visit Sombra too. ”
Mei Yi said in ecstasy: "Of course you can, great." The fact that the Pope-designate was able to go to Sombra with me was a huge support for me. ”
Illya said, "Are you sure?" It may cause you quite a bit of trouble. ”
Mei Yi patted her chest and said, "The most important thing I need to go to Sombra City this time is trouble, and there is not much more." ”
Illya's face was black: "Lord Lord, you are really good at comforting people, then it is decided." When the time comes, I'll leave for Sombra with you, but keep this a secret and don't tell anyone about it. ”

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's time to set off for Sombra City. Mei Yi hugged and said goodbye to Mei Luke, who had become a tearful cryer, and said goodbye to the indifferent Agilu, and then got into the carriage to the outskirts of Wangcheng alone, and met with Liuye and Flynn in the suburbs.
He searched for a long time without seeing Bishop Elijah, and while he was looking around, someone tugged at the corner of his coat and whispered, "Don't look for it, I'm already here." I told them that I was your sister and her name was Mary, so don't let me go. ”
Mei Yi looked at Illya again and was startled, she was dressed like an ordinary girl next door, wearing a small white shirt and a long floral skirt, and a black coat over it. The long silver hair was simply knotted into a thick braid and wrapped around his chest.
Mei Yi and Illya got into the carriage together, and the others rode on their horses, and seventy or eighty people crossed the border forest and headed south.
Illya sat quietly in the carriage, and slowly, she couldn't sit still, her face slowly turned pale, her breathing became rapid, and her white forehead was covered with sweat.
When she saw that Mei Yi wanted to speak and stopped, she said: "On the day of the palace coup, I launched a top-level spiritual technique, which consumed too much spiritual power and almost lost my life. Loloki and Liuluo managed to cure me. On the day of the True Spirit Academy, I hastily triggered the top-level Spirit Divine Crystal Enchantment, and my health was not good again. The true spirit is not peaceful, so Luo Luoqi suggested that I go to Sombra City with you to recuperate...... Sorry for not telling you in advance. ”
Mei Yi whispered, "Master Bishop, you don't have to care. You can just lie down and rest, but it may be a little cramped. At the next stop, I'll change to a bigger carriage so that you can lie down more comfortably. ”
Illya glanced at Mei Yi gratefully, then curled up and lay down on the seat opposite Ye Su and fell asleep, the black coat, white shirt, and floral skirt all outlined the graceful and slightly barren figure of a seventeen-year-old girl.
Ye Su did not break his promise, and when he arrived in Ice Valley City, he immediately changed to a brand-new spacious carriage, and bought good bedding according to Illya's preferences, so that Illya finally slept more comfortably.
Flowleaf and Flynn rode at the front of the group, and it was clear to them that the girl named Mary was not Meiyi's sister at all. They also understand this very well: young people, bold, and have many tricks. What's more, it's the great lord of the kingdom who is young and ambitious.
When she was stationed on the road to rest, Illya didn't dare to get out of the carriage to blow the wind, at most she lifted the curtain of the carriage on a sunny day and sat on the carriage to bask in the sun for a while.
Because of her health, she didn't have much appetite, and she couldn't eat what the chef cooked. Mei Yi made her a mixed salad, fish fillet in sour soup, and steamed rice with pineapple, but she could eat it. Gradually, his face became ruddy, and when he arrived in Sombra City, he actually felt better, and he was still a little fatter.
After arriving at the magnificent Sombra Grand Lord's Manor, Illya chose her favorite room with a quiet, garden, sun-facing room, close to the Bailuoshui River, a tributary of the Luoshui River. Just when she was happy in her heart, the maid Ella asked, "Miss, are your clothes here or in the lord's room?" ”
Illya was suddenly asked, and she was puzzled, "Why?" ”
When she saw the maid's eyes, she understood everything. This girl regards herself as Meiyi's lover! It's no wonder that others think so, for more than ten days along the way, he asked Mei Yi to protect her at any time, Mei Yi had to stay in the carriage with her all day long, and cook for her every day.
What's more, when she set up camp at night, she lay in her tent, always worried that the opposing factions in the church would be against her, and often sneaked into Meiyi's tent when no one was around.
What else can anyone else think?
How can there be such a sister?
Illya had no choice but to blush and say, "Mei Yi and I really don't have that kind of relationship, we just know each other, not even friends." Don't be busy, I'll call you if you need to. ”

Evelyn, the lord's secretary who arrived in Sombra City earlier, handed over the thick to-do list to Mei Yi. Mei Yi looked at it carefully for a few minutes and said, "The meeting with the major nobles will be arranged the day after tomorrow." Well, the family of the previous lord was held in a prison somewhere in the mansion by the Kingdom Army, waiting for me to deal with it...... Ask Flynn and Ruye to come with me. ”
Arriving at the prison in the depths of the mansion, Mei Yi met dozens of Christine's family members who were being held. After a month and a half of detention, these once pampered ladies and sons have become disgraced and embarrassed, and their eyes are full of cringe and fear.
Just as the guards with him were about to go up and scold those people, Mei Yi stretched out his hand to stop him. Mei Yi stepped forward and asked Flynn and Liuye behind her, "Is any of us well-versed in the laws of the kingdom?" ”
Mei Yi himself is very proficient, but as a lord, he doesn't want to care about these things and exhaust himself to death.
Flynn and Liuye exchanged an incredulous look, and then Liuye said to Mei Yi, "Lord Lord, the laws of the True Spirit have always only worked on the land reserved by the True Spirit and the royal family. In Sombra and the surrounding twenty-one counties, what you say is the law. ”
