003 Temptation
003 Temptation There is no doubt that Artoria is a fool, a big fool.
Kindness...... Although I think so, she herself does not seem to be aware of this.
After the death of the monster, the next area near the Crescent Moon Lake was in full swing, the blocked road was opened, and more and more humans gathered to watch the dead monsters.
Groups of humans gathered together and whispered.
"This monster looks so scary. ”
"I heard that he ran out of the hospital and injured several medical staff. ”
"Hey, hey, I've heard that if you're injured by a monster, you'll be infected by the demonic energy, and eventually become another monster. ”
"It's okay, there is already an exorcist who has treated those injured medical staff, and now it is safe, don't you know, the exorcist only needs to make a move......"
Artoria and I walked side by side, surrounded by passers-by with awe and stares.
In the face of so many eyes, I felt an invisible pressure, but Artoria did not show anything out of the ordinary, calmly accepting the adoration, awe, and fanatical gaze of the surroundings.
"I see, Xiaobei, you are still a male surname. ”
After listening to my explanation, Artoria finally understood my current surname, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Although I don't mind you becoming a girl, it's really better to have a male surname, and you're naturally much stronger than a female surname. ”
I smiled wryly and nodded, Artoria, are you so dissatisfied with being a girl?
"Speaking of which, Miss Moment and the blue-haired man. ”
At this time, I suddenly realized that Artoria was the only one around, and Miss Momenta and the blue-haired man had disappeared for some time.
"They went back to the hospital. Artoria said.
I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lily, do you know anything about Sister Alos the other day?"
"You mean the assassination?" Artoria quickly understood what I was referring to, and frowned thoughtfully, "I've heard a little, but I don't know what I'm really doing. ”
"What do you think about this?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't make assertions without knowing what really happened. ”
...... Although it seems very weak to answer such an answer, this is also Artoria's surname, not to mention that this kind of thing cannot be forced.
Faced with a friend who had been separated for a long time and met again by chance, Artoria showed considerable interest.
"Stay with me tonight. ”
Without feeling how impactful my speech was, Artoria dragged me all the way to the eerie restaurant called "Like, Like, Like You".
Not...... It's a weird name, but yes, it's a restaurant.
I heard that it is still a very popular restaurant, but if you come late, you will not be able to find a seat, and you need to make a reservation for a private room, but there is a 90% chance that the reservation will fail.
You can see how popular this weird restaurant is.
"I'm grateful to you for bringing me here, but ......" I looked at the bright sky outside, the blue was as pure as a jewel, dazzling, and unadulterated with the slightest impurity.
"It's probably not dinner time yet, Lily. ”
"Time isn't everything, Xiaobei. "Artoria looked at me solemnly, her eyes as blue as the sky were stunning and fascinating.
"What's more, my stomach is already hungry. ”
There is no way to refute it.
If you are hungry, you have to eat, no matter where you put it, it is the truth, so in the face of such an Artoria, I can't refute it at all, let alone know how to refute it.
The waiter at this restaurant wore a blue and white short skirt and a sleeveless shirt, revealing slender arms and slender and smooth thighs, laughing and coming and going, and the slightest smell of youth and hormones wafted in the air.
"Ahh
The youthful waiter arrived in front of us for the first time, and the smile that appeared on her pretty face was not a formulaic smile, but a smile from the heart, which made people feel comfortable and happy.
"Yes. I nodded.
"In that case, you have to try our restaurant's signature dishes, the fragrant and delicious fried beans, the crispy and tender drunken duck, the indispensable Pisces Dragon Dance between couples, the chef's favorite fire fox meat, or the famous dragon claw of the Yves Saint Laurent galaxy......"
"Okay, we're going to have these four!" I quickly interrupted the waiter who was gushing about the food, "no more than two people can eat, so we're going to ......."
"What stupid things are you talking about, Xiaobei!"
Suddenly, Artoria, who had been silent, broke out, "If it's just four dishes, won't it be too little, today is to celebrate our reunion, so you don't need to be polite to me, Xiaobei." ”
In the end, Artoria ordered about thirty or so dishes, all of which were the restaurant's signature dishes.
"Wait a minute, the food you ordered will be delivered soon!"
After the waiter left with a smile, I looked at Artoria who was sitting across from me with some hesitation, "Lily, are you sure you order so many dishes, can we really finish eating?"
"You're welcome, just let your belly go and eat. Artoria said generously.
Even if you say so...... In fact, it's not me who proves that you should let go of your belly and eat to your heart's content, but Artoria.
If the legendary gluttony is the same, the thirty dishes were wiped out by Artoria one by one, and entered the belly of that deep and invisible, as if comparable to the bottomless pit.
"Satisfied, satisfied!" said Artoria with a satisfied smile.
Well, although I know that the idea of "if you underestimate a woman's surname, you will be surprised" has been ingrained in my mind, but at this moment I once again deeply understand the meaning of this sentence, as well as ...... Cruel.
After coming out of the liking, liking, liking, and you restaurant, the sky had already darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun had disappeared from the sky just now when Artoria was still trying to eliminate the food.
"It's so late. Artoria stretched her waist, and at dinner she was like a lazy lion, soft and without her usual heroic appearance.
"Lily. ”
I stared at the quiet starry sky, as if attracted by the endless stars, "That...... Me, uh...... I, I'm back alive. ”
Thinking back to the apprehension of riding the Nebula to the center of the temple for treatment, and looking at the scene of walking side by side with Artoria at night, a subtle feeling slowly rose from the bottom of my heart.
Is it moving, or calm, happy, or relieved...... All sorts of thoughts are intertwined, and I can't tell them apart completely.
"Welcome back, Xiaobei!"
Under the silent moonlight, quiet and gentle words, like a sharp sword, pierced my heart, and in an instant, countless warmth slowly surged into my heart.
...... The next day, in the morning.
Putting on the official uniform of an exorcist, I sorted out my image, walked out of the long-lost door, and walked slowly towards Bishop Leichhardt's office.
Sister Al is now locked up in the dungeon, and the guards at the entrance of the dungeon need an edict from Bishop Lechhardt to open the door of the dungeon, which cannot be jumped over under any circumstances.
Of course, I didn't plan to jump over it.
Without Sister Alosa leading the way, I was escorted like a thief by the Templars guarding Bishop Lechhardt to the door of the study.
Bang bang bang...... After the crisp knock on the door, the sonorous voice of the leading knight slowly sounded.
"Bishop Leichhardt, Yan Xiaobei's exorcist said that I have something important to talk to you about. ”
"Okay, let him in. ”
After a moment of silence, Bishop Lechhardt's voice was heard.
The study behind the door is as I remember, extravagant, gorgeous, with the atmosphere of aristocracy, but there is no smell of [***], and there is a faint aroma floating in the air, which makes people feel slightly uplifted.
The dignified Bishop Lechhardt sat in the chair behind his desk, and had no intention of looking up, he pointed to the position of the sofa, and said that he would sit down casually, and buried his head in the usual papers.
It took about three hours for Bishop Lechhardt to straighten up.
The moment he saw me, he seemed to be a little shocked, but he hid it well behind a serious expression, "I'm sorry, Yan Xiaobei exorcist, Sister Alos is no more, all the documents that are often piled up here are here, so you have been waiting for a long time." ”
"Where, it's still Bishop Leichhardt's business. ”
I humbled it so that I could make the rest of the conversation easier.
After sitting down face-to-face, Bishop Lechhardt was the first to speak: "Looking at your complexion, it seems that the stubborn diseases left behind in the abandoned city have been cured. ”
"Well, thanks to Dr. Lin Xi's master. I nodded.
"Doctor Huang...... Is it?"
I was slightly stunned and said, "Listening to the tone, Bishop Laichhardt seems to know the Imperial Doctor as well." ”
Nodding without hesitation, Bishop Leichhardt said with a sigh: "When I was young, we used to hunt monsters together, and if there was no Imperial Doctor at that time, I would have died several times, speaking of which, this life was saved by the Imperial Doctor, and Laichhardt has never forgotten it." ”
I don't think I can forget it.
Because Bishop Laichhardt's eyes were too confused when he said this, as if he was recalling something, I couldn't help but raise a fire of gossip and burn maliciously.
In my opinion, although Dr. Huang is strong, he is an out-and-out beauty.
The merciless years did not seem to have left any mark on her face, and when I met her, I was shocked by the beauty of her face.
Now listening to Bishop Lechhardt talk about the Imperial Doctor, the greatest malice in his heart began to guess.
Unrequited love, perhaps, poor Bishop Leichhardt.
In any case, the matter eventually disappeared in the long river of history that I didn't know, and I didn't seem to have any intention of sharing my first love history with outsiders.
We remained silent until Bishop Lechhardt came back to his senses.
"Sorry, I lost my temper. ”
I pretended not to care and smiled, and said, "Bishop Leichhardt, I came to you today, in addition to reporting that my body has been cured, there is actually another matter that I want to trouble Bishop Leichhardt. ”
"It's for Sister El's sake. ”
I nodded, "Yes, I would like Bishop Lechhardt to issue me an edict so that I can enter the dungeon through the guards and find Sister El. ”
Bishop Lechhardt shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, Yan Xiaobei Exorcist, I can't help you with this matter. ”
I was immediately anxious, I didn't expect the other party to refuse mercilessly, "Lord Bishop Leichhardt, I think there must be some misunderstanding in this matter, so please, Lord Bishop Leichhardt, please help me." ”
"I have to follow the advice of the person in this matter, so there is nothing I can do. Bishop Lechhardt was unmoved.
"What does this mean?"
The meaning is simple. Bishop Leichhardt slowly uttered the truth that surprised me.
"Actually, Sister El was put in the dungeon of her own free will, and made the decision not to see anyone, and even I, as a bishop, could not reverse Sister Eyre's will. ”
Voluntary?
I was taken aback, what the hell is going on?
Sister Elle had met with Sister Bess before, and said that Sister Alosa should be damned.
"Looks like you don't know anything, Yan Xiaobei exorcist. ”
Facing Bishop Leichhardt's slight surprise, I couldn't help but nod and smile bitterly, "Yes, Bishop Leichhardt, I don't know everything about this matter, and I don't know many things, so I am so eager to see the person concerned and ask what happened." ”
"In that case, you might as well go find the Knight of the Moment. ”
Bishop Leichhardt thought for a moment and pointed me to an alternative path, but the familiar name caused me to fall into a momentary stupor.
"Do you mean Miss Moment, Bishop Rychhardt. ”
"Yes. ”
"But why did it suddenly involve Miss Moment...... "I was at a loss, I felt that my head was in a mess, and I couldn't figure it out.
Bishop Lechhardt said calmly: "After Sister El stabbed Aroth, the matter was handled by the Holy Guard, which was composed of the Templars who managed the security of the Cathedral of Saint Laurent, the official knights of the moment who were in charge. ”
I was slightly surprised, "In other words, Miss Moment's knowledge of this matter is very detailed?"
"If nothing surprises. ”
"I see!" I couldn't wait to find Miss Moment, and I resisted my excitement to say goodbye to Bishop Lechhardt.
"Well, then, I'll take my leave, Bishop Leichhardt. ”
"Let's talk next time, Yan Xiaobei exorcist. ”
After saluting, I turned to leave.
The moment the door closed behind me, I turned on the vector and slammed my body like a gust of wind, instantly blowing through the hallway and disappearing into the eyes of the knights guarding Bishop Leichhardt on both sides.
As soon as I left the cathedral, I got in touch with Artoria.
"Good morning, Lily. ”
On the virtual screen that popped up on the communicator, the heroic Artoria was exercising in the morning, sweating and breathing very rapidly, but his eyes were very bright, like sparkling gems, very dazzling.
"Good morning, Xiaobei. ”
After receiving my communication, Artoria seemed happy, "It's really early today, what's going on?"
"Yes, I want to find Miss Moment, I don't know if Lily has her communication number. ”
"Instant?" Artoria seemed a little surprised, but quickly remembered something, and showed a sudden expression, "Okay, I see, you rush to the Templar training ground right away, I'll be waiting for you in the thirteenth training ground." ”
I nodded, hung up the communication, and hurried to the designated location in Artoria.
The Templar training ground was actually very close to the exorcist's training ground, and the two huge buildings, one on the left and the other on the right, were located on the south side of the cathedral like twins, and what was even more interesting was that the two buildings were spirally intertwined, and the top was like the hilt of a sword, symbolizing harmony and unity.
It didn't take long for me to arrive at the Templar training ground, Field Thirteen.
Field 13 is actually the thirteenth floor of the building, in addition to the empty training ground, there are small lounges, relaxation rooms, reception rooms, bathrooms and so on...... The equipment can be said to be very luxurious.
When the elevator opens, follow a long corridor until the end, and open the door...... A brilliant sword light came to the extreme, like a butterfly flying, and like a rapid, the tip of the sword was uncertain, as if it was about to pierce my heart, and it seemed to be able to penetrate my throat in an instant.
Sen Ran's coldness radiated unscrupulously, like mercury pouring into the ground, pervasive.
I suddenly felt as if I was in an ice cave, shivered with cold all over my body, and subconsciously turned on the vector work.
Bite!
The moment the tip of the sword stabbed me, the blade of the sword was bent by the force of the recoil, and I squinted my eyes to see the surprised and unbelievable expression of the long sword in front of me.
What is this, a dismount that I haven't seen for a long time?
My face sank slightly, and I didn't hesitate to use the Spiral Magic Eye.
Bouncing!
Even the long sword made of pure gold was not twisted in an instant under the power of this spiral, and then collapsed, and the fragments of the long sword burst out in all directions, and at the same time, it also forced back the moment that suddenly attacked me.
In an instant, as I stepped back, I flicked my fingers at the fragments that were shooting at me, and for a moment I seemed to see Pandora again, that grace and calmness, as if nothing would be taken to heart by her, the momentum of dominating everything.
Of course, Moment is not Pandora, so it's not as scary as I thought.
After a few shards flew in a row, a quick shard finally sliced through her finger and flew out into the distance.
He stared blankly at his fingers and was silent.
I said, "Is this the greeting I haven't seen for a long time? ”
"Xiaobei!" Artoria hurriedly ran over, his face full of apologies, "I'm sorry, Xiaobei, I didn't want this in the first place, but I said that I wanted to do it anyway...... I'm sorry. ”
