(7) Tasks
Bidding farewell to Louvi and Frese who dragged Reimu away, Lujiu and her party finally arrived at the foot of the Holy Mountain.
&Haha, looking down from the sky, I feel that the holy mountain is very high~ I didn't expect it to be more majestic when I looked at it up close!!" Looking at the towering mountain peak with his hand flat on his forehead, Lu Jiu let out a heartfelt admiration.
Looking at the mountain peak, and then at Lu Jiu's chest, the letter girl couldn't help but read in pieces, "Well, it's as surging as Lu Jiu's chest..."
The golden fox's ears twitched, "Hmm, Shinnu, did you say anything just now?"
& What, just making comparisons... Mountains and peaks>
I always feel that something is wrong..."Looking at the letter girl who turned her head to carefully observe the peak, Lu Jiu always had a strange feeling in her heart...
>> Let's go up first!Without using any magic or energy, this is a great opportunity to show piety!" Throwing the strange feeling out of his mind, Lu Jiu's right foot took the first step to the top!
Just as Lu Jiu was about to take the second step, an energetic voice rang out from behind, and he was greeted by a blonde young man in a black vest and sweatpants.
&May I ask who you are?" scratching his head in embarrassment, Lu Jiu didn't seem to have any memory of the man in front of him in his mind.
& I forgot Miss Lu Jiu, you have amnesia!!" Seeing Lu Jiu's reflection, the man in front of him remembered what happened to the girl in front of him.
For the fact that Lu Jiu will lose his memory, he also has an inseparable relationship with himself, after all, he found the task posted by others, and it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no guilt.
Politely making a knightly salute, the blonde youth smiled and said, "Now, please allow me to introduce myself again." Named Bullitt, the Thirteen Apologists of the Church, once went on a mission with Miss Lou Jiu. At the same time, Miss Lu Jiu, you are still my great benefactor!"
&eh!? I, I actually went on a mission with the Paladin, or is it his benefactor??" As if hearing some fantasy, Lu Jiu's eyes widened as she looked at Elusa and the Divine Crack...
Nodding, nodding...
&Woo woo ~ I feel so good ~ Woo hahahaha ~ " Holding his cheek intoxicated, Lu Jiu successfully broke away from this dimension...
&What is all the fuss, if you want to talk about paladins, aren't there three of them by your side~" A slap on Lu Jiu's back, forcibly pulling her back to reality from her strange fantasy, Elusa pointed to herself and Denisha and Toria, "And there are two more powerful [Seven Sages> than [Thirteen Riders].
"Ah, Elusa, you're different!!This is a true paladin!!"
looked at Lu Jiu, who was still dancing. Elusa covered her cheeks helplessly, "We're not impostors... What are you talking about authentic or inauthentic, damn ......"
Before Lu Jiu could extricate herself from the joy in public, Dinisha walked up to Bullitt with a smile, "Bullitt-kun, don't you say hello when you see me~? And you don't seem surprised at all~"
&The... Because... I've always believed that Denissa-sama is still alive in this world!" Shaking his hands confidently, Bullitt continued, "If even such a strong Denisa is no match for the enemy, I really don't know what to do..."
"Huh?" The stinky boy's mouth is getting slippery, Axelin taught you, right?"
&33......"
>> Take us up. Mr. Guide..."

After three hours of walking, the group finally reached the top of the mountain.
& Here it is, the Great Patriarch is presiding over the prayer inside, if there is something to do. Just wait for the prayer to end!" Pointing to the building behind him made of white stone with a strong Greek flavor, Bullitt's expression became more upright and peaceful.
&Woo, yes, so nervous!" looked at the quaint gate. Lu Jiu held her hands excitedly and closed her eyes.
&It's been a long time since I've been back..."Equally a little cramped and uneasy was Elusa, who had crimson hair. Anyway, that's where she and Denisha grew up...
For my hometown that I haven't seen for ten years, it's impossible to say that I am not excited at all...
While Elusa and Rujiu were still thinking about some miscellaneous things, the stone door was pushed out of the cathedral...
Orcs, monsters, elves, humans, all kinds of people walked out of the church in an orderly manner with kind and comfortable expressions on their faces...
Here, there is no racial discrimination...
Here, everyone has the same identity.
That's the devout believers of the light...
After the praying people left, Bullitt cautiously knocked on the door of the stone door, "Lord Sect Master, I brought a few people to meet you!"
Putting down the silver chalice that he was wiping, the white-haired archbishop beckoned to the door, "Come, children of light..."
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Lu Jiu stepped into the church with a nervous heart.
In the church, in addition to the Supreme Master, there are two other men - [Holy Cross Shield] and [Time Master].
The black-haired [Time Master] didn't say hello or nonsense when he saw someone coming, but just walked out of the church on his own.
As for Asuna's master, he looked at the visitor with the same kind face as the Great Sect Master.
When they saw the figures of Elusa and Denissa, both of them had surprised expressions on their faces.
"Master, we're back..."Kneeling on one knee in front of the Grand Master, Elusa and Denisha were like two wanderers who had left home to meet their elders.
"It's okay, it's okay, get up, good boys!" helped the two of them up with trembling hands, although they had seen the familiar backs in the newspaper before, but after really seeing me, the stone in the heart of the great sect leader was put down.
"It's hard work..."
Although he was very excited to see the two children who had grown up since childhood, the Great Sect Master still suppressed his emotions, beckoned to Lu Jiu, and asked kindly, "Child, you are the person Bullitt brought to see me, right?"
&Yes!!" Standard upright posture!
&Oh, don't be so nervous and relax..."
&
> Do as I say, take a deep breath first. β
& Hmm>
& exhale slowly. β
&
>> Are you getting better?"
&Like, I'm really not that nervous!" shook his hands curiously, and Lu Jiu's clear eyes sparkled with adoration.
Sure enough, the Great Sect Master is the Great Sect Master!
"Can you tell me what you're looking for me?"
&Such... Actually, I, I want to be a priest with a knife!!" As if using all the strength of his body, after shouting these words, Lu Jiu kept staring at the Great Sect Master motionlessly, expecting his answer.
"It can't help but be Asuna's teacher, and even the archbishop was a little surprised this time.
"Can't you?"
Looking at Lu Jiu's pitiful appearance, the Great Sect Master immediately came back to his senses, "No, as long as you pass the assessment and are pious enough in your faith, anyone can do it with a knife sacrifice... However, I want to know why you want to be a knife sacrifice, child? I've read the recent newspapers, and you're the new leader of the sixth sword of the Ten Swords, Fireflies, right? Why do you want to do the thankless sacrifice with a knife?"
>> I want to help people in need!, and it's an agreement!" replied without hesitation and categorically.
Staring at Lu Jiu's clear and bright purple eyes, then a kind smile appeared on the face of the Great Sect Master, "I understand... So, you're ready to take the test, right? The content of the assessment is not difficult, but it is easy to determine a person's temperament. β
>> I'm ready!"
& Well, your assessment task is ......" (to be continued......
