Chapter 18: "Straightforwardness"
Mrs. Pualis...... Lumian was startled, and had the illusion that someone had come to his house to silence him.
Thinking that his sister was upstairs and had extraordinary abilities, he calmed down a lot.
With a slow breath, Lumian walked over and pulled the door open.
Outside the door stood two women, the one in the front of whom wore a long black and delicate tunic dress, a shawl of the same color over her shoulders, long tulle gloves on both gloves, and a little playful lady's yarella hat because of its skewed head.
She was all black, with only a diamond necklace encrusted with gold on her chest.
The lady's eyebrows were slightly sparse, her bright brown eyes were smiling, her long brown hair was pulled into a high bun, and her facial features were not outstanding when separated, but they had a clean and charming beauty when combined, and she had an elegant temperament and a beautiful standing posture, which made the night dyed a little crimson at the door of Lumian seem to be a lot fresher because of her, and there was a faint fragrance.
This was none other than Mrs. Pualis, wife of Beost, magistrate of the village of Cordu and magistrate of the territory.
Of course, modifiers such as "mistress of the parish priest", "suspected wizard", "suspect in the letter of help", and "white flower flesh in the church" should be added to Lumi's peace, but these are not suitable to say, otherwise it will inevitably make Madame Pualis change her face on the spot.
When the time comes, the anger will be successful, and disaster may follow.
"Madame Poalis, is there anything going on?" Lumian deliberately glanced at the sky outside, suggesting that it didn't seem good for the other party to visit at this point in time.
Madame Pualis's red lips were a little watery, and she gently outlined:
"I've come to talk to your sister Aurore about something."
Judging from her appearance alone, she did not look at all like a lady over thirty years old with two children, at most twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
Lumian pondered for a moment and moved out of the way.
He said to Madame de Pualis, who had walked through the door:
"Aurore was upstairs, writing a column for a newspaper."
Pualis nodded and said to the maid beside him:
"Cassie, you're waiting for me downstairs."
"Yes, ma'am." Cassie, dressed in a black and white maid costume, took a few steps toward the warm stove.
Lumien led Madame Poalis through the kitchen and into the stairs.
Just around the corner, Mrs. Pualis stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lumian turned around, pretending to be dazed.
Mrs. Poalis smiled and asked:
"You deliberately brought those three strangers to the church?"
Come and question me...... Lumian not only did not panic, but calmed down a lot.
The experience of pranking people many times before told him that at this time, he must not directly answer the other party's questions, nor can he justify himself, the best choice is to blame, accuse the other party of making a certain mistake!
Of course, it still depends on the situation, and turning around and running is the alternative.
Lumian quickly showed an angry expression, looked at Madame Poalis and said:
"You're cheating in the church of God!"
He then opened his arms and made a gesture of "hugging the sun":
"My God, my Father, forgive the blasphemy of this sinful man and woman."
Madame Poalis read it quietly, and her lips outlined an unusually beautiful arc:
"I think God will forgive us.
"I have read a book before, and it is written that a lady who sleeps with her true lover cleans away all sins, because love innocents pleasure, as from the purest heart.
"And Guillaume. Bene was a pleasure and pleasure for me to be together, so it wasn't a sin that the 'Eternal Sun' shouldn't be angry about it. ”
What kind of books are you reading, ma'am...... Lumian couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Madame Poalis then continued:
"It's really disrespectful, though, to Saint-Sis."
Each region of Intis has one or several patron angels or saints, either from the texts of the Church of the Eternal Sun, the Church of the God of Steam and Machines, or those who have made a special contribution to the history of Intis and whose fame has spread widely and been recognized by the two major churches.
In the Daliege area, the patron saint of the "Eternal Sun" Church is Saint-Sith, that is to say, every "Eternal Sun" church here can actually be called the Church of Saint-Sith, but, in order to distinguish it, only the largest and most core one is called so, and the others are replaced by other names.
Therefore, it is a great disrespect to the patron saint that Madame Poalis and the parish priest cheated in the church, which is equivalent to the butler of Saint-Sisse smuggling people back, taking over the master's bedroom, and doing immoral things.
"yes." Lumian nodded heavily, "Isn't he ashamed of Priest Hon?" ”
Madame Poalis burst out laughing.
After laughing, she said to Lumien:
"I also advised him at the time, and I said, 'Ah, how can we do such a thing in the church of St. Sisse?'
"Guess what the parish priest said?
"He said, 'Oh, Saint-Sith had to be grieved.'"
Lumian, who had no experience in similar matters, did not know for a moment how to take these words.
"He's blaspheming the saints!" Finally, he held back such a sentence.
Madame Poalis showed a look of reminiscence:
"He was such a man, bold and direct, like a robber, who slammed open the door of his soul with swearing, and was completely different from those gentlemen of Daliege.
"Maybe that's why I'm going to sleep with him."
"That's just the normal behavior of some men when they are in heat, not to mention Saint-Sis, even if the gods are there, he will ask him to wait first." Although Lumien had no experience, he had read more than one of the novels written by Auror, "This belongs to the control of his head by the lower half of his body, no, at that time, his head was already empty and filled with other liquids." ”
Mrs. Pualis smiled very shallowly:
"I know that's why, but in that situation, he does look very attractive.
"Hehe, you are really an inexperienced teenager, I don't know that the same words will make people feel differently in different environments and different atmospheres.
"I remember the first time I had sex with the parish priest, he stood there, looked me in the eye and said to me directly, 'Pualis, I want to know more about your body and mind,' and at other times I would have thought that this was a rough and vulgar pervert who had to be called in to stop him, but at that time, my body was soft, and it was because the atmosphere was just right."
As she spoke, Madame Poalis's smile became charming:
"It's like, if I have a crush on a man, I'm going to say to him, 'Come to my house tonight, okay?'
"If he does come, I'll take him straight into the bedroom and tell him, 'I want to sleep with you, I love you'.
"Lumian, at such a time, as a man, how would you answer?"
Lumian usually told lewd jokes to the men in the village, and although he was a little uncomfortable at this time, he could still hold on, and he tried to recall the stories written by his sister and the novels written by other contemporary writers, and considered the following:
"I'd say, 'Ma'am, you're my sun.'"
"Very gifted......" Lady Poalis praised.
As she spoke, she leaned forward, her eyes moistened.
A warm breath suddenly rushed to Lumian's ears, and a slightly magnetic soft female voice sounded in a low voice:
"I want to you......"
At this moment, Lumian's heart couldn't help but tremble, and his body was numb, just like touching a broken radio light.
He took a sharp step up the stairs and said to Madame de Pualis:
"Aurore should be waiting for you."
"Hmm." Madame Poualis straightened up again, a smile on her face, and her eyes narrowed.
It was as if nothing had happened.
This woman...... Lumian was suddenly a little frightened.
He hurriedly turned around, and in a few steps reached the second floor, where Mrs. Pualis followed with her usual gait.
Auror, who heard the doorbell, was already waiting outside the bedroom.
"So slow?" She looked at Lumian.
Lumian cryptically explained:
"We talked about the church."
Aureel understood as soon as she heard this, and gave her brother a look of "praying for good luck to the 'Eternal Sun'".
She turned to Mrs. Pualis, who had just reached the second floor, and asked with a smile:
"What's the matter?"
"Let's talk about some preparations for Lent, a celebration that may need your help." Lady Pualis said with a smile.
"I've been very busy this time......" Aurel made an excuse to excuse herself.
Madame Poalis pointed to the doorway of the study:
"How about a first?"
"Okay." Aurel's politeness is still there.
Watching his sister and Madame Poalis enter the study and close the wooden door, Lumian nodded invisibly:
"Acting fairly normal, not returning to the 'crime scene' with a weak heart......"
At this time, a thought flashed through his mind:
"There's a good chance that Lady Poalis is a female wizard, can I get supernatural powers from her?
"It's much easier and safer than going after the wizard truth, confronting the owl and exploring the perilous dream ruins......
"Moreover, that dream relic must be explored, striving to unlock the secret as soon as possible, eliminate the hidden danger, and have extraordinary power before going to the risk is less."
Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly became alert and shook his head.
He immediately began to examine himself in his heart:
"How can you think so?
"Whether Lady Pualys is a friend or foe is unclear, how can she recklessly seek supernatural power through her?
"Well, she didn't act like a good person just now, and even made me feel dangerous......
"What's wrong with me all this time? Acting too eager and reckless in the pursuit of supernatural powers, it's like dying if you don't get it quickly......"
It has been nearly two years since Lumian discovered that his sister was a wizard, and although he was also trying to gain extraordinary powers, he had never tried so much as he had done in the last few days, no matter whether the opportunity was good or bad, whether it was dangerous or not, as long as it seemed promising, he couldn't wait to get in touch, just like being hungry for a long time and not being picky at all.
"Whew...... Fortunately, the problem was detected in time, otherwise the next road might have gone further and further and become more dangerous. Lumian let out a long breath, glad that he had found his normal state of mind.
Of course, the quest for supernatural power cannot be stopped, but it is necessary to have a choice, after all, the dangerous dream has already revealed its face, and the undercurrent in the village is becoming more and more turbulent.
