Chapter 47: The Puppet and the Bishop
"Look, it's burning again just after it stopped!"
"This time it's bigger than just now, Miss Lagaia won't have an accident?"
"Nonsense, Miss Lagaia is the most powerful, and that must be her high sorcery. ”
"But Miss Lagaia is only in the middle sequence, how can she perform high-level sorcery?"
The tree elves chirped and huddled around the treetops to watch, and when it was supposed to be a firefly party, it was turned into a bonfire party.
The bonfire is their brother and sister.
Li Ang waited silently by the "bonfire".
Although there was a layer of flames, he could still vaguely see a slender figure like an elf in the fire, sleeping soundly.
For Lagaia, who is a keen thrill seeker, Winki's experience of being hunted by the Norwegians in Northern Europe must be satisfying.
He relented and tried to pull a wooden bench to sit for a while, but as soon as he got close to the fire, wisps of white smoke came out of the bench where the young branches were still smoking, and it seemed that if he got closer, it would spontaneously combust directly.
He had no choice but to put the bench back and sit on the floor waiting.
But the process of absorbing the dragon's blood potion was far longer than Li Ang had imagined.
The blazing dragon fire has been burning for a long time, but it still hasn't seen the slightest decline, as if it can burn from now until eternity.
After another moment, even the tree spirits watching from the treetops began to yawn and go home to sleep.
Li Ang realized in hindsight that it was already late at this time.
Looking at the sundial on the wooden table again, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
He made a rough estimate and found that the time he spent bathing in the dragon's blood potion took at least five hours.
And now Lagaia has only been going on for two hours!
"Looks like it's impossible to sleep tonight. ”
During the time when he simply bathed in the dragon blood potion, Li Ang felt that he had rested very well, and he no longer planned to take any more time to rest.
Anyway, he couldn't leave Lagaia and go back to sleep by himself, then his heart was too big.
Even if it was a potion that Ms. Angelina had personally configured, it couldn't change the essence of the dragon's blood potion, a low-to-medium order forbidden drug.
Even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of an accident, it is not something he can afford.
Besides, he believed that Lagaia must have been guarding him just now.
It's a little ashamed to say that when Lagaia just said the words "because of the blood connection, we love each other deeply", Leon was really moved.
Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.
No one could understand the loneliness that filled the bones of a soul from another world.
"Thank you guys. ”
He muttered softly.
It wasn't until the sun rose that the "dragon fire" that had been burning for five hours had the posture of extinguishing.
Ms. Angelina, who had been standing in the treetops and watching for a long time, couldn't help but laugh softly: "I was worried that these two children might not get along well. ”
"Sure enough, they are my children, and every one of them is as kind as I am. ”
Finally, the dragon's fire was extinguished.
Leon turned his back consciously, and the clothes he had placed on the table flew into the air, followed by the sound of a rustling of clothes.
"Alright, it's time to turn around. ”
Lagaia, bathed in the flames, stretched lazily and sighed, "No wonder you slept so soundly, it's a very good feeling." ”
"It's not thanks to my potion level!"
Angelina suddenly appeared in her usual elusive style.
"If it's a normal version of the dragon's blood potion, everyone will be so noisy that you ghosts cry wolf all night tonight. ”
"Thank you very much. ”
"Thank you, Mom. ”
Leon thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
Ms. Angelina's kindness to him is more reflected in the subtlety and silence of all aspects, maybe her emotional expression is not as fiery as her sister, but it does not mean that he will really turn a blind eye to it.
Ms. Angelina was overjoyed, she was already expecting the praise of her children, and her tail was about to rise to the sky.
Lagaia had to lament that her mother, who had fooled her for twenty years to be her teacher, was really a child's temper.
Lady Angelina also realized that her image was a little broken, and she coughed lightly, and made a majestic gesture as a mother.
He solemnly admonished: "Leon, before you were promoted to the middle rank, you could no longer take potions easily, even those healing potions could only use some herbs. ”
"However, with the dual effects of the Dragon's Blood Elixir and the Flame Salamander Elixir, your self-healing ability should be enough. ”
Li Ang said with a relaxed face: "I'm ready to be beaten for a new day." ”
......
The night here was calm, warm and peaceful.
Syracuse, however, was already shrouded in the shadow of death.
In the morning, Teresa custom-made the puppets of the clergy and witchers.
At noon, it was done by the puppeteer.
Among them, the clergy is a cardinal who is painted with red paint and holds a cross, which is solemn and solemn.
In comparison, the image of the witcher is a bit pompous.
Although Syracuse has always had legends about witchers, the vast majority of people have never seen them, let alone understood them.
Therefore, the puppet of the witcher is more like a combination of a hunter and a demon, which is an absurd product full of the subjective contribution of the puppeteer.
But this does not affect the appearance of this witcher puppet, it is still very fierce, although it looks more like a monster than a human.
On the contrary, it was the clergy, who seemed a little weak, which made Teresa feel very dissatisfied.
"It's just a bishop, how can you deal with the most vicious devil!"
If it weren't for the puppeteer's fierce opposition, she would have even wanted him to carve a "pope" for herself.
Influenced by her father, Teresa was not very interested in the Holy See, she preferred romantic polytheism, whether it was the goddess Isis in Egypt, Athena in Greece, or Minerva in Rome, in her opinion, they were more worthy of faith than the high God.
Before eating, she put both puppets in the locker.
And he said to them in righteous words: "In the name of the princess of Syracuse, I command you to destroy the evil devil and save this great city!"
"As a bishop, you are obligated to protect the city, and if you kill the devil, I will give you fifty silver marks as a tribute. ”
"And as a witcher, although you are ugly, I will not discriminate against you because of this, and if you kill the devil, I will also give you a bounty of fifty silver marks!"
Fifty silver marks was all Teresa's pocket money, and she still thought it was her own game.
And this time, she will personally solve the trouble that has plagued him for a long time for her father!
When the time comes, all will be in the spotlight of her, and she will be the princess of Syracuse, beloved by all her subjects.
......
At the dinner table, Muladin, the bishop of Syracuse, dressed in white robes, was exchanging glasses with Count Campbell.
"Your Excellency Muradin, this matter is so difficult for me that I can only ask for your help. ”
Mu Ladin snorted, but just shirked: "Look at my appearance, do you look like I can go into battle and fight monsters?"
Count Campbell pleaded: "Syracuse has finally had a chance to rise again because of the decline of Messina, and once Syracuse rises again, it is only natural that you can become a diocesan bishop." So help me, that is, help yourself. ”
Hearing this, Muradin was silent for a moment.
As if sensing his intentions, Count Campbell hurriedly added another fire and said, "If you help me destroy this monster, I will give you three hundred gold florin coins as a sacrifice to help you go further in the priesthood." ”
Muradin slammed the table and rebuked: "How can a shepherd of God sit idly by and watch the lambs being taken captive by the devil, I will purge the devil and destroy the heresy!"
Count Campbell exclaimed: "I admire your devotion to God!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
