Chapter 507: Turnaround
The sunrise scene at the top of the high mountain was very shocking, Jiang Chanji saw the junction of the distant sky and the horizon, as if there was a bright wave sweeping to the west, the light drove out the darkness like a bamboo, the dividing line between light and darkness quickly retreated to this side, and the cultivated land, pastures, and farmhouses in the distance were shrouded in the early morning sun.
The earth, meadows, and snowfields were dyed a faint orange-red, and the mist that roamed the plateau slowly disappeared.
There is a surreal sense to the image, as if he is not in reality, but something that is fast-forwarding to a documentary.
The battlefield at the foot of the mountain has not yet been illuminated, and the dawn has already lit up the top of the mountain one step ahead.
He squinted at the Angel of Light not far from his side, and saw that the position of her eyes seemed to reflect the light of longing in the light of the eastern dawn.
However, bathed in the sun, she faded the tenderness of the night and returned to the domineering spirit of the day.
She gestured into the crater to mean that her vigil was over and she was going back, and then the six wings of light stretched out and leaped forward, turning into a streamer of light and rapidly descending, quickly disappearing from his vision.
He was the only one left at the summit of Aare, where few people had ever climbed it.
The thought of having to go back the way he came, and that going down the mountain was not easier than going up, gave him a headache, and he really wanted to make the squid whiskers conjure up a parachute and jump straight down...... But it's just a matter of thinking about it, and Squid Whiskers aren't Doraemon.
Anyway, stumbling all the way back to the entrance of the lava tunnel, he happened to meet Catherine talking to the nun on duty.
"What are you doing? I was going to look for you. Catherine frowned and looked up, "Didn't you say you were going down the hill to find something lost?
Except for the nuns who were on duty at the entrance and exit of the lava tunnel, Catherine was the first person to get up every day in the monastery, and after she got up today, she went to practice her sword in the flat field outside as usual, but she didn't see Jiang Chanji, and his bedding was not folded on the simple bed.
So she went to inquire about the nun on duty, and learned that he had gone down the mountain to find something that had been lost, and when she thought about how many times he had been running around yesterday, and having ventured into the battlefield to steal the walkie-talkie, and had been unexpectedly attacked by Major Granite, it was indeed possible to lose something in a hurry...... Although she didn't know what he had to throw away without anything.
The war is over for the time being, and both the soldiers of the two countries and the granite major who entered the chaos were scared away by the Angel of Light, so there should be no danger around for the time being, so Catherine didn't pay much attention to it and concentrated on her morning exercises, but when she finished practicing her sword and soaked in the hot spring to simply wash off the sweat on her body, she found that it was almost dawn, and he still hadn't returned, so she felt uneasy and planned to go to the bottom of the mountain to find him.
"I walked around the mountain and thought I couldn't sleep anyway, so I went hiking. He pointed to the top of the mountain, "It's rare to come here once, just enjoy the scenery at the top of the mountain." ”
Catherine was skeptical, the nuns rarely went to the top of the mountain, at most once a year or two, to routinely check the rocks around the crater for signs of loosening, in case the rocks suddenly fell and hit them into the belly of the mountain.
"Arabella, how are they?" he changed the subject.
"She had a little fever last night, probably caused by the cold and emotional ups and downs, took some medicine, and this morning she got better, so it should be fine. Catherine replied, "Nothing else is going on." ”
"Really, don't you nuns have the healing power of Teacher Lu?" he asked.
"Yes, there is, but it's better to heal naturally from a cold. Catherine said, looking at the time, "The pastor will soon lead the morning prayers of all the sisters, and there is no other situation for me to go back to attend." ”
"Okay, I'll go back too...... When is breakfast?"
He followed Catherine through the tunnel back into the mountain.
The nuns who were not in special circumstances all gathered in the monastery and began their daily morning prayers, Jiang Chanji of course they did not need to participate, and when he came back, they also got up on the 33rd.
"What are you going to do today?" asked Number 33 as he braided his hair.
Today is the most critical day, and if they can't persuade the head of the house today, they will have no reason to stay cheekily, which means that the plan for this trip has completely failed.
Jiang Chanji was also upset about this matter, even if there was no hiking episode last night, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep.
As the messenger of Red Leaf Academy, it doesn't matter if he loses face or not, the key is that without the cooperation of the Angel of Light, the manpower and material resources invested in the construction of the two colliders in the school will be wasted, once the construction of the new collider stops, Zixuan will not be able to pass the pass, and people are still waiting for the demolition to get rich.
"There's no way, we've done what needs to be done, and we can only wait. He spread his hands helplessly.
"Wait, wait for what?" said Number 33 stopped braiding, and Number 15, who was in the same dormitory room, quietly stared at him.
"Waiting for a turnaround. ”
"What turnaround? Can you not ask me a question, and you can answer?" No. 33 dissatisfied.
He shook his head, "I'm not sure for the time being, but now I can only bet on the turnaround, there is no other way, we can't come hard, we can delay the time as much as possible, eat as much as possible for breakfast, eat a little slower." ”
“...... You're really not here to have more breakfast?" said Fox 33 suspiciously.
"How is that possible?" he clarified, "It's a pity that none of us are suitable for selling cuteness, otherwise it's good to pretend to break the dishes and stuff to delay time." ”
“......”
Obviously, he has reservations, but in front of No. 15, No. 33 is not convenient to ask too deeply.
The morning prayers were quite long, and the melodious prayers of the nuns were as pleasant as a chorus in unison.
Layla and Luisa also got up, and they had both slept soundly the previous night, and Layla was full of praise for the healing effects of the volcanic hot springs, saying that her skin seemed to be getting better.
The 22nd came to find them, her physical strength and physical fitness were the best among yesterday's distress victims, but her expression was still a little aggrieved, talking about yesterday's avalanche, she had palpitations, and at the same time regretted not being able to see the Angel of Light in person.
When the prayers stopped, a nun came and told them to go to breakfast.
In the dining room, the nuns sat on both sides of the long long dining table, everyone looked very elegant and quiet, no one made any noise, and the one sitting on the main seat must be the head of the house, Jiang Chanji, who sat at the front of the table as guests.
Breakfast is coarse bread, butter, pickled cucumbers, pickled radish, milk, of which milk should be brewed with milk powder, after all, it is too cost-effective to bring the liquid to the mountains, in addition to some kind of fried fish, which tastes good, but Jiang Chanji can't recognize the type of fish, and heard No. 33 whisper that when they were soaking in the hot spring yesterday, they found a small fish wandering in the hot spring that is not available in the outside world, which should be this kind of fish.
The fish that grew up in the hot springs where the transcendent nuns bathed every day, if this fish were to be sold to the second-class dealers who bought the stockings of the girls of Momiji Academy, I am afraid that a single fish could be sold for tens of thousands, right? Anyway, in the end, the otaku will pay for it.
Jiang Chanji was feeling sorry for eating tens of thousands of yuan in one bite, when he suddenly heard the head of the courtyard ask, "I heard, you went to climb the mountain last night?"
He quickly wiped his mouth and replied, "Yes, I have some insomnia, I happen to have admired the name of Guishan for a long time, and I should not miss this opportunity." ”
"Oh, what's the view from the top of the mountain?"
The shepherd, who had buttered the bread with his knife and fork, did not look at him.
Jiang Chanji didn't answer right away, whether it was guessing or what the Angel of Light told her, anyway, she must have known that if he climbed to the top of the mountain, he would meet the Angel of Light at the top of the mountain.
The Angel of Light wasn't in the cafeteria, she didn't need to eat, and probably remained in the Hall of Meditation.
"It can only be said that it is worth the trip. He said cautiously.
"That's good, the distinguished guests come from afar, the life of the courtyard is hard, there is nothing to entertain, I feel deeply sorry not to go, if the natural scenery can satisfy the guests, it can be regarded as how much to make up for the guilt of my host. The head of the courtyard said happily.
"Where, Madam the head of the courtyard, you are too polite......" Jiang Chanji pretended not to see it, continued to eat with his head bored, and made up his mind that he would never take the initiative to say goodbye.
On the 33rd, they are already full, but this situation is ...... In order to avoid embarrassment, I could only continue to stuff it into my mouth.
[Sister Chanji, in?]
Jiang Chanji's heart moved, "What's the matter? You'd better not talk to me......
[Isn't Senior Sister Chanji welcome me to chat with you? Forget it, I won't tease Senior Sister Chanji this time, there is something important, the head of the academy asked me to contact you, and let me tell you if I have something to say. 】
"I'm listening. ”
[The head of the academy said that the sect master had just contacted her, saying that you asked the sect master to investigate the matter!]
He perked up, "Say it!"
[The original words of the sect master were-around the airport where you landed yesterday, a trace of suspected Lilith was found!
Jiang Chanji didn't answer her, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
In his plan, he used Sister Catherine as bait to lure Lilith along, but if Lilith was fooled, how could he be sure that she was really with her?
So he could only ask the sect master, because he knew that just like the Red Leaf Academy has teachers stationed overseas, the ninja academy also has a lot of ninjas stationed overseas to spy on intelligence, and ninjas are the best at tracking and stalking, so he asked the sect master to set up eyeliner around the airport where the special plane landed, and once he saw someone who looked like Lilith, he immediately told him.
Due to the sudden war, the airport where they booked to land was temporarily changed, and he was worried that the ninjas would not have time to transfer, but fortunately, a large number of planes were stranded in the air, buying precious time.
It seems that Lilith is really attached to Sister Catherine, and since she is here, things will be easy, so let the Angel of Light take her sacrifice flag.
Except for a few of them, most of the nuns had finished their breakfast and left the table one after another.
When the pastor had finished eating the bread on his plate, he put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and seemed to have eaten.
"Thanks to your kind invitation, then ......"
"Madam Pastor!" he quickly interrupted, "I have something very important to tell you!"
"Please. The head of the house was stunned - if there was something important, why didn't he say it earlier?
"Do you remember Lilith?"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the head of the courtyard was immediately covered with a layer of frost.
Of course, I remember that this demon did many evils, not only killing many of God's people, but also four sisters who served God faithfully, who were murdered and died in a very tragic way, and they did not deserve such an end. "It's a pity that this demon is still at large," she said, "and every day I pray to God that He Almighty will send her to me......
Catherine bowed her head guiltily and said, "It's my incompetence......"
Jiang Chanji wasted no time in complimenting: "Probably your prayer has taken effect, I just got the news that someone has found Lilith's trace nearby!"
"Are you serious?" the head of the house, Huo Ran, stood up.
On the 33rd, they all put down their knives and forks.
"Really, I'm scared to death and I wouldn't dare make such a joke on you. Jiang Chanji patted his chest and said, "The source is absolutely reliable!"
"Where? Take me now!"
"Don't worry, you know that because of this unexpected war episode, the situation outside is very chaotic now, so I only know that Lilith is nearby, but I can't say exactly where she is, which street and which house...... But I'm sure Lilith came with Catherine and Arabella, and she's always coveted the two sisters, so as soon as Sister Catherine shows up, I think Lilith will follow them. He explained.
The head of the yard forcibly pressed his anxiety and sat down again, "What are your plans?"
"Our trip has been pre-arranged, after coming to the monastery to deliver a letter to you, we are going to Romania to send a family of Lilith's victims back to their country, if nothing else, Lilith will choose to do it in the deserted Romanian forest, I suggest you the praying mantis catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind, and when Lilith appears, send this demon back to where she belongs. He spoke eloquently.
The head priest was silent.
"If you are worried about the safety of the monastery after you leave, in my opinion, there is no need, I am afraid that the divine power of Michelle's killing in all directions yesterday has quietly spread, which is enough to deter those who don't know whether to live or die...... Jiang Chanji looked at No. 33, "In addition, the Ninja Academy is also willing to help, during your absence, send people to pay attention to the suspicious situation around Mount Aare, and will never let the nuns be accidentally retaliated against by the army." ”
No. 33 chimed in: "Yes, this hospital is willing to serve. ”
The head of the courtyard pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Since you have thought it through so carefully, then I believe in your plan, this time I can't let that demon escape and avenge my sisters no matter what." ”
Jiang Chanji was waiting for her words, as long as she promised to move the nest, she couldn't leave after killing Lilith, right? After all, there is no free lunch in the world, and if you receive the kindness of others, you have to repay it, as the head of a faction, the head of the courtyard will not count in his heart.
