In the Papal Tower, Laurende completed a scroll with the assistance of the nun in black.
"That's good." Seeing the nun in black putting away the scroll, Laurent murmured with a smile, "This can be regarded as finding a way out for them... You can draw up the list."
Lu Yu arrived at the Papal Tower on time. This time he came to say goodbye to Laurend.
"You want to leave Meira temporarily?" Laurend asked in surprise.
"Yes, Sigrid and Lulu are already preparing to leave for the Red Flame Mountains. Sera will also go to help after completing the Theocracy matters at hand. I plan to take advantage of the time when the mansion starts to be built to find some friends...
After all, according to our assumptions, early land reclamation requires more manpower."
Laurent smiled faintly and looked at the nun in black with unconcealable pride in his eyes.
Lu Yu didn't notice this detail and thought it was part of the two's daily feeding of dog food.
"Short of manpower?"
"There was a shortage of magic power for some time before and after the tide. In fact... we have some dolls, but we cannot estimate when these dolls will be able to move normally in the environment of the Red Flame Mountains."
One sentence had already revealed too much information. The thoughtful nun in black quickly checked whether the magic circle was open. After confirming that no one was watching, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Secrets related to the magic wave should not be discussed with anyone you absolutely trust. The same goes for where your puppets that can move freely in special magic environments come from. You are the one who knows better than others when the magic wave will come.
The absolute advantage, you must maintain this advantage until the magic wave comes."
Lu Yu felt warm in his heart and followed the good deeds.
"Since you have already set off, my gift can be given away."
After Laurende finished speaking, the nun in black gave Lu Yu a list. Lu Yu was about to open it, but Laurende reached out to stop him, and said slightly naughtily: "Treat it as a surprise, wait until the day you receive it."
, you should be more excited looking at the unexpected items in it than looking at the list."
Lu Yu said in confusion, and reported a serious matter.
"As for the plan to leave the Theocracy after your death, we have made preparations. When Serra leaves, let me ask you...should the candidate for the Pope be decided?"
There was a brief silence in the room, with only the faint breathing of a few people audible.
Knowing that Sera couldn't say it in person, he hired Lu Yu as an intermediary to pass on the message, but in fact this was also something Lu Yu was very curious about.
Has Laurent already decided on the next pope?
Lu Yu couldn't read any information from Laurend's face. There seemed to be an indescribable sadness hidden in his soft eyes.
"It's hard to choose..." A sigh is worth a thousand words.
"I want to find a leader for the Theocracy who, although not as good as me, can at least lead the Theocracy through this turmoil and magic wave... But none of them have such conditions."
Lu Yu fell silent.
Laurend could make a choice simply to survive the turbulent future of Mera, but he happened to know about the magic wave, and in the entire Theocracy, there seemed to be no one with the ability to deal with the shuffle of the magic wave.
Unless Laurent lives another fifty years.
Laurend laughed at himself: "It would be better if I didn't know... maybe I'm greedy."
After Lu Yu left, the nun in black closed the door: "Sela, kid, why are you mentioning this matter now?"
Laurent said thoughtfully: "She wanted to tell me that while I am still healthy, I can eliminate the hidden dangers that will affect the next pope's accession to the throne..."
After Laurend explained that she had to follow Lu Yu to temporarily escape the turmoil, Sera couldn't accept it for a while. Although she didn't believe in God, just like Laurend, her sense of responsibility prevented her from letting go of everything in the Theocracy.
It is impossible for Sera not to feel the tremendous pressure brought to her by freely entering and exiting the Pope's Tower. In today's current situation, she seems to be the most likely person to become the next pope. Recently, based on the report of the nun in black, she tried to go to Sera's house.
There are many middle-level members of the Theocracy in Di Di, and several bishops and high priests are making frequent moves.
"It's time to start paving the way..."
Staring at the scattered afterglow of the setting sun on the balcony, Laurent sat up in the darkness.
"Calling the radiant incarnation, there are some things that should be done for the future of the Theocracy."
…
…
On the bluestone road, a little fox was holding mushroom soup and drinking it happily.
People passing by smiled and greeted her when they saw her.
"Hey, Bread, he came out to eat alone again."
"No, I took a copy back with me!"
"Bread, bread, do you want to go picking fruits in the autumn harvest?" A little mushroom man shouted to her from a distance.
"I'm definitely going."
"It is said that the werewolves are going to hold a hunting ceremony to commemorate the heroic spirits in the Blue Water War. By the way, you can ask Orkus if he is going."
"Why do you keep asking me to send messages? You can find him in person." Bread raised his big tail and looked puzzled.
"I don't dare. There are strange-looking cars running around in your yard all day long. It's so scary... You summoners are really weird."
As soon as Bread returned home, countless tentacles came from behind the door. Faced with such a terrifying scene, Bread casually shook it and shouted angrily: "If you don't want to eat, I will throw it away!"
The flesh and blood chariots were startled, and they all retracted their tentacles. After a while, they turned into tiny particles of light and disappeared.
While Orkus was writing something in his notes, he walked towards the bread, took his dinner and turned around to leave.
Bread exploded with anger: "Thank you, thank you!"
"Oh, thank you."
"Too perfunctory, I want you to say it again!"
"You didn't cook the dinner. I paid for the meal." Orkus said while eating mushroom fried rice.
"I'm the one running errands!"
Seeing the bread dangling in front of him, Orkus even held his hand to prevent him from drinking the mushroom soup. After successfully teasing the bread, Orkus said with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, thank you."
The bread snorted and swung its tail and left. Looking at such bread, Orkus had a smile on his face.
Environment can really change a person.
After leaving Seriel, there was no top-down pressure and he could simply pursue his ideals, which made Orkus feel particularly peaceful.
When he first came to Blue Water, this city-state that accommodated mushroom people, werewolves, demon foxes, and some elves after the war was not very friendly to him, because he was a Serelite, and not long ago, he was the one who attacked the city.
One side.
The tragic war caused Blue Water to suffer heavy losses. Half of the population of mushroom people, werewolves, and demon foxes evaporated in this war. The hatred against humans has reached its peak. The people here wanted to eat him alive the moment they saw him.
.
However, Lu Yu rescued him from the siege. The words of this legend in the attack and defense of Blue Water City were very effective. The four tribes gradually accepted him as a defector, and gradually curbed their hostility in the subsequent interactions.
Bread is very popular. As a member of the Demon Fox, she feels very much at home here. Because of Lu Yu's relationship, Xiao Keluer also takes good care of her. In a short period of time, she has become a mascot-like existence, and she will appear from time to time.
Someone fed her.
When a werewolf goes out to hunt monsters and sees her, he will take the initiative to share some pieces of meat with her. The mushroom man in Blue Water will take her to get some delicious mushrooms from the mushroom cellar. She is a frequent visitor to the elf orchard, and the bread is mixed well.
Orkus does not have the background of Selel, which makes Bread no longer restrained. With her lively nature, she is the master of the house, and Orcus is like a guest who takes refuge in her, with bread on her waist.
Scenes of scoldings were staged from time to time, and even Xiao Keluer, who occasionally came to visit, was surprised by this change.
Orkus didn't care, he thought it was pretty good, it was very relaxing, wasn't it?
Without the emperor to cater to and the nobles to cheer up, this kind of life is what I want.
As for this noisy bread... maybe it's to punish him, a guy who has never fulfilled his father's responsibilities before.
"Is this punishment not bad?"
The roar of the dragon sounded from afar, and Orkus's face quickly turned cold as he was chewing mushroom cakes in his mouth: "Are you coming again?"
The dragon slayer wearing jet black armor and holding a spear quickly appeared next to Orkus.
Just when Orkus was about to float up to see what kind of flying dragon it was that was looking for death, he was stunned when he looked at the figure on the dragon's back.
Wiping his eyes hard, Orkus realized that he had seen it right.
"It seems like this is the first time I've seen you summon a dragon slayer... It turns out you look like this. Can you take off your helmet? I want to know whether you are a macho man or a pretty girl."
"Lu Yu...Why are you back? You even captured a dragon mount...Tsk!"
Orkus looked disgusted, both towards stupid dragon and towards Lu Yu himself.
"I didn't expect you to be of such low quality that you would bully a mentally retarded person... If you want a dragon mount, I can help you. You can choose one of the dragons in Mostana and let this poor guy go."
"Stupid dragon... I'm not mentally retarded, just stupid..." Benlong, who understood the conversation, quickly made the distinction, but the spittle made his words unconvincing.
When the stupid dragon landed, Lu Yu quickly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, this is a very important friend of mine. This time I am going on a long trip, so I need him to accompany me."
Looking left and right, Lu Yu found wet bread beside him. Lu Yu asked doubtfully: "Little bread, who bullied you? Why is it so wet?"
The bread points to the stupid dragon.
"..."
The angry Bread ran to take a shower, which made the two summoners laugh out loud.
Seeing Xu circling the dragon slayer for a moment, poking the dragon slayer's armor with his fingers from time to time, Orkus asked curiously: "Where's Lulutis, why aren't you with me? That strange rabbit ran away again."
Where have you been...where did you meet this strange but beautiful woman?"
Hearing Orkus take the initiative to ask about Xu Yu, Lu Yu asked: "What do you think?"
"I think that rabbit is more suitable for you."
"Who asked you this? Orkus, you have changed a lot. You have one witticism after another."
Orkus chuckled: "Environment only changes people. Thank you. Without you, I would never be able to experience this kind of life."
"No need to thank you. You helped me a lot. Going back to the topic just now, do you think there is any difference in just a moment?"
Seeing that Lu Yu was serious, Orkus looked at it for a while, and then felt it with his magic power: "I have a very strange feeling, but I can't put it into words..."
After a moment, he pointed at the dragon slayer and turned to Lu Yu to ask: "Is he the dragon slayer you have been talking about all day? Why does he look like a stone and there is no reaction at all?"
The dragon slayer with black armor and spear stood upright, motionless.
Orkus smiled and said: "This is my summoned object. It never moves very much without orders."
"Then why doesn't he speak?"
"The dragon slayer cannot speak."
For a moment, his mouth was half-opened, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked like he was looking at a fool.
Orkus asked in embarrassment and confusion: "Ms. Xu Yu, the dragon slayer is a summoned object. Didn't Lu Yu tell you?"
Lu Yu could hardly hold back his laughter. He had already had the idea of writing Orkus and the Dragon Slayer into the book and decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Orkus, is there a possibility? I mean maybe..." Lu Yu tried hard to control his facial expression, "That is to say, the dragon slayer can actually talk."
Orkus waved his hand: "Impossible, how is this possible? I have owned the Dragon Slayer for so long, and I have never heard a single word from him. You must know that this is much longer than the time you created the flesh and blood chariot.
.”
For a moment, he had already started to take off the dragon slayer's helmet, but the helmet seemed to be integrated with the dragon slayer's body, and it could not move at all no matter how hard he tried.
"We are the same kind in a sense. Be obedient and let my sister see your face."
Orkus was full of questions: "Ms. Xuyu, I must emphasize that the dragon slayer is a summoned object, not a person. He is condensed by magic power. Maybe there is no specific image in the first place. It is more likely that he is a 'dragon slayer'."
'The embodiment of this concept."
"What a waste of such a handsome summon..."
After complaining for a moment, she turned back to look at Lu Yu, who nodded towards her.
For a moment, he whispered into the dragon slayer's ear.
The spear turned into magic light particles and dissipated. The dragon slayer moved his body and tapped his helmet with his hand.
In Orkus's surprised gaze, the dragon slayer revealed his long black hair and a statue-like face.
"Hello, Xu Yu."
Orkus's eyes widened, and his mouth could not only be filled with eggs, but also his fist.
"You...you can talk?"
The Dragon Slayer squinted at Orkus and responded calmly: "Yes."
"Wait a minute... wait a minute." Orkus covered his head, "No, this is not right... If you can speak, I have talked to you before when I summoned you, why don't you respond? I am your summoner.
ah!"
Lu Yu, who was suppressing his laughter and felt very uncomfortable, said, "Tell me, is there such a thing..."
"It's impossible, tell me what you know!" Orkus was anxious.
At this time, he didn’t know that Lu Yu came to see his joke, so Orkus’s years of life were in vain.
"The Dragon Slayer has always been able to talk, but he just doesn't want to talk to you, so he is mute." Lu Yu said.
