Chapter Forty-Eight: Drawing (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Walter went to the third floor, flexed his finger and knocked on the door of the master bedroom.
"Who?" said Dwayne Dantès's somewhat weak and hoarse voice.
Walter twisted the handle and pushed the door through a gap:
"Sir, Bishop Elektra has come to visit you.
"Would you rather meet him in the living room or living room, or would you like to invite him directly to the bedroom?"
Normally, visitors are not allowed to enter the master bedroom, which is quite rude, except for visiting patients.
After a brief moment of silence, Daun Dantès responded:
"Invite him to the bedroom. ”
"Yes, sir. Walter motioned for Richardson to urge the maid to prepare tea as he walked down to the lower level and led the Bishop of the Night Church, Elektra, upstairs.
Soon after, Elektra entered the bedroom and saw Dawn Dantès lying on the bed, slightly emaciated.
"Richardson, give the bishop a chair. Dwayne Dantès smiled a little pale.
Richardson was ready and immediately moved a high-backed chair not far from the bed.
Elektra took a few steps forward, observed the face of the new rich man, and asked with concern:
"Dwayne, how are you feeling, have you invited an internist?"
His inspiration was untouched, so he did not make any other attempt, but only to care about the normal behavior of the devout believers.
Dawn Dantès coughed lightly and smiled:
"Actually, it's almost ready, and I want to go to church tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, and listen to your sermons. ”
"That's fine, I'm thinking about whether I want to help you pray to the goddess for protection. Elektra laughed, took a step back, and sat down in the chair that Richardson had brought him.
At this time, Dawn Dantès looked at Mr. Bishop and said with a smile:
"Actually, I've always had a question, can the clergy of the Church of the Goddess get married?"
Elektra, who was two years old and forty years old, sighed and smiled:
"This question has been bothering us for a long time.
"In many theological councils in ancient times, the archbishops had fierce quarrels over this.
While believing that servants serving the goddess must remain holy, whether male or female, otherwise it would be blasphemy against God, while finding out the words of the goddess from the "Apocalypse of the Night" and other classics, believing that the goddess is encouraging marriage and encouraging equal and normal interaction between the sexes, and that the clergy should be an example, not a counterexample, which is the greatest respect for the goddess.
In modern times, this issue has been largely shelved, and the Church neither forbids nor encourages it, with the only requirement being that the married clergy cannot allow their families to live in the church. ”
Dawn Dantès nodded slowly, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly:
"Bishop, do you have a wife?"
Bishop Elektra, who had a thin face and was not good-looking, but was inexplicably pleasing to the eye, sighed and said with a smile:
"Two years ago, I entered the palace of marriage in the presence of the goddess, and this year I just happened to have a child.
"I originally wanted to stay single to serve the goddess, but it turned out to be ......"
As he spoke, he laughed to himself and shook his head.
Without waiting for Dawn Dantès to delve into the subject, Bishop Elektra asked rhetorically:
"You seem to be single too, are you thinking about marriage?"
He seemed to assume that this was the case with Dawn Dantès, and directly dismissed the answer to the above question as yes, and instead asked:
"What kind of lady do you like? Maybe I can introduce you to the right person." ”
Daun Dantès coughed lightly again and said with a smile:
"In the past, in order to accumulate wealth, I always chose to take risks, so I was reluctant to get married, for fear of dragging each other down, heh, I like a lot of types, and I am not picky.
"Women who are older than me, who can give me warmth and peace of mind, I like ......"
Before he finished speaking, Richardson, the personal servant next to him, suddenly froze his expression, and immediately looked sideways to the side, and then lowered his head uncomfortably, his face inexplicably had a hot pain.
Daun Dantès was unaware and continued:
"Much younger than me, innocent, lively, people see her like seeing the early morning, unconsciously full of vitality of women, I also like ......"
The smile on Bishop Elektra's face froze suddenly, and he raised his palm, clenched it into a fist, pressed it to his mouth, and coughed twice.
Daun Dantès did not stop, shook his head, sighed and smiled:
"I once had a love or marriage, because of the status of the lady who dare not approach, can only look at the lady, I also like it, they are full of charm, every move is intoxicating, difficult to restrain it, always dream of ......"
Walter, the butler who was standing nearby, trembled suddenly, as if he had just experienced a dream that he did not want to wake up but was extremely resistant, and it was difficult to distinguish whether it was good or bad.
Daun Dantès was about to speak, but when his mouth was opened, he didn't make a sound.
He immediately chuckled and said:
"This is normal, human beings are limited by the body, under the influence of all senses, there will always be some abnormal thoughts, as long as they can restrain them, do things according to their own will, and do not feel tormented, then they are still good husbands, good fathers and good men. ”
"It makes sense that when we're angry, we always have irrational thoughts, but very few people turn them into reality. Bishop Elektra deftly diverted the subject, and Walter, the butler, and Richardson, the valet, showed thoughtful expressions.
The bishop did not linger long, and after a few sips of the marquis's black tea brought by the maid, he got up to take his leave, and left the mansion of Dawn Dantès.
The room soon became quiet, the balcony window was silently opened, and Klein, who had returned to the appearance of Dawn Dantès, leaped in lightly.
Thankfully, I came back just in time, and if I had allowed Arodes the Mirror to continue talking like this, Bishop Elektra would have denied me as a devout believer...... Tomorrow morning Walter and Richardson themselves may be found hanged in their room, and rumors are circulating throughout the neighborhood that Daun Dantès is a nymphomaniac...... Klein glanced at the fake Dawn True Magic Mirror on the bed, and sighed silently - the words in the second half just now were all the answers he personally drew up and let Arodes read them.
Of course, this was the worst conjecture he had ever made, and he believed that Arodes should not let things get to that point.
"Congratulations on your return, my great host. Dwayne Dantès, on the bed, saluted, "Your humble and loyal servant Arodes has done a good job?"
Hearing the magic mirror stammer, Crane sighed again and said:
"It's ok, it's well disguised.
"But when you're chatting, try not to irritate others. ”
"I, I'll take notice!" the image of the fake Dawn Dantès quickly vanished, revealing a small mirror on the pillow.
Above the mirror, a silver-white light burst out, wriggling and condensing into one word after another:
"Thank you for your affirmation, I will always follow in your footsteps and look forward to the next opportunity to serve you~"
After a stick figure goodbye emoji, the mirror surface returned to normal.
Crane leaned in, put the mirror away, and then entered the bathroom attached to the master bedroom, and walked four steps backwards to the gray mist.
He was going to finish grazing before Mr. X's spirit completely dissipated.
............
In the world of the book, on the snow-covered peak, there is a cave**.
Crane looked at Mr. X's corpse on the ground, carefully identified the other man's head made from pieces, and compared it with the portrait of the target provided by Miss "The Magician" in his memory.
"It's him...... Hopefully I can get 'Travel' and 'Record' this time, with one of them, this operation will be earned, if not, you have to consider asking Miss 'Magician' to add money, hunting a Sequence 5 and facing a demigod are two things with completely different difficulty. Crane thought as he stretched out his left palm and spread his five fingers to aim at the corpse whose spirituality had not yet completely dissipated.
"Wriggling Hunger" quickly reverted back to its original appearance, as if it was made of thin human skin, and two eyes were cracked out of the palm, and the pupils were bright red, as if stained with blood.
In the cold yin wind, Mr. X dissipated a lot of spirits and extraordinary points of light connected like the Milky Way into the "wriggling hunger" one after another, fixed on the blank finger.
The "wriggling hunger" first became transparent, like a reflection of the spirit world, and then returned to normal.
Klein closed his eyes for a moment, his brow gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.
He had quite a bit of luck this time, drawing one of the most wanted extraordinary abilities:
"Traveler's Gate"!
This can be referred to simply as a "teleportation door", "teleportation" or "travel", and its function is to allow people to travel through the spirit world that can sense the outside world and locate themselves - different sequences of extraordinary beings can withstand different teleportation times due to the strength of their own spirits, and the effect and distance of the spirit travel are also significantly different.
If there is only sequence 9, sequence 8, that does not exceed the Beckland range...... At my current level, I don't know if I can go directly to the primordial island provided by Mr. "The Hanged Man", well, it's really not good, it can be divided into two or three times...... Klein thought with a smile.
It was only at this time that he realized that the strength of the "Traveler" in frontal combat was really strong, because the difficulty of using the short-distance "Travel" was only the same as that of the "Fire Jump", which meant that the "Traveler" could always flash around the target, both far and close, making it impossible to attack him.
Coupled with the ability to "record" well and the vigilance to stay away immediately if something goes wrong, Klein suspects that even if he has "Lightning Storm" and "Tornado", he may not be able to leave "Traveler" in frontal combat.
Sure enough, the "secret puppet master" should try to be behind the scenes...... Crane sighed as he redirected his gaze to Mr. X's corpse.
- "Wriggling Hunger" also gained an extraordinary ability just now, which is the "opening of the door" of the "apprentice" sequence, which is almost equivalent to weakening a lot of "travel", which is of little value.
As his gaze shifted, Crane's eyes reflected the ruby ring on Mr. X's hand.
PS: It's the last few hours of April, and it's a waste if you don't vote for a monthly pass~
