Chapter 258 I want to play a game with you
Xila saw Roland waving to him and showed a somewhat troubled expression.
But in the end he did not refuse Roland's request.
"Excuse me."
Xila apologized softly and walked to Roland's side. Under Roland's eyes, she stood opposite him.
Wearing a wide brown gown and a tight-fitting black leather jacket, platinum curly hair and long black hair, as well as silver-gray and lake-blue pupils. The two people were sitting on the seats in the same posture, like some kind of weird mirror image.
It shows a strange symmetry.
Inexplicably, Lily felt that the two people had some indescribable similarity.
"Mr. Xila! Long time no see!"
After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Lily jumped up from Roland with joy and neatly took out a small notebook from her sleeve: "What are you going to do today?"
"Same as yesterday," Xiela turned his head when he heard this and showed a warm smile to Lily, "Sorry, Miss Lily."
"What's the trouble? It's our responsibility to prepare food for the guests."
While Lily answered casually, she patted her head as if something suddenly occurred to her: "Speaking of which... Dinah left this afternoon. You can see her if you come at noon."
Hearing this, Xi La showed a wry smile: "Since you all told me that we are coming here at night, I will naturally obey the rules here."
"Huh? Is that so... You should talk to Mr. Roland first, and I'll go to the back to help."
Seeing that Roland, who had been silent all this time, might have something to say to Xiela alone, Lily jumped to the kitchen with a menu in an understanding manner.
"...Roland?"
Hearing Roland's name, Xila frowned slightly.
"It's the Roland you think of, Xila... Your Excellency."
Xila heard a cool, low voice ringing from her ears, so she frowned and turned around.
Then he noticed that the handsome young man with black hair stretched out his right hand and quickly made a triangle on his chest, then gently placed it on his chest.
At that moment, Xila knew that his identity had been exposed.
But Xila did not panic because of this. He just subconsciously touched the ring on his left hand lightly, frowned and was about to say something.
But at this time, Roland whispered: "I see the light shining on you."
This is a relatively obscure blessing for the priest of Tire. After all, the wizards around are staring at Roland and the others. No matter how courageous Roland and Silas are, they dare not directly say something like "Ah, may God bless you".
.
But Roland's words at this moment also mean "I don't believe in Tyr". This is also an unfriendly way of expression for the priest.
"...Yes. I hope there is anything I can do to help you, Roland...well, sir."
Xila was silent for three seconds, and finally decided to respond in a kind way for the time being.
But the communication between the two people only reached this level. After that, the two fell into a brief silence.
Roland knew that as long as he could reveal his identity, there would be no fighting. Because even among all the bishops of Tire, Xila must be the one with the mildest personality. It can be said that Xila is a
A pacifist through and through.
Rather, it is precisely because he loves peace and has a peaceful mind that Jupiter IV gave him the Ring of Killing, which represents military power. After all, after the Battle of the White Tower, no one was more suitable than him to appease those who had lost more than half of their lives.
Of the Knights Templar.
Because of this, Roland felt strange - why did Jupiter send him? Why did he wear the Ring of Killing now?
...Do they already know that Elucardo has broken the seal?
After all, in the current era, among those who have no origin of awakening, Xila is probably the only one who can hold Eluccard head-on.
Xila is only thirty years old this year. He has already entered the gold level and has come into contact with his first elemental cornerstone. It is only a matter of time before he awakens. This level of talent cannot be explained by a genius. Roland knows that Xila
In fact, it was the reincarnation of the angel of Tire.
It is not unreasonable for the gods to search for souls that can awaken the origin for thousands of years.
In order to prevent the sect from being disintegrated from within, the cardinal will only choose souls trusted by the gods - this standard of trust means that you must die for the gods at least once. Only the gods have access to their souls after death.
, only after confirming that they are not cultists or wizards can they become cardinals.
In some of the more extreme sects, even their popes are the same two or three people over and over again.
Until the end of the reign of the gods, only the popes can know part of this secret.
This is why only priests can infiltrate other people, but no one can infiltrate the god's sect. After all, the entire ruling class is under the nose of the god. If anything happens to anyone, the god can immediately notify the pope, or directly execute them himself.
.
Using this method, as long as the souls of a few outstanding believers are released every few years, you can ensure that there will never be a shortage of talents in your sect.
The best souls among them will receive the attention of the gods even when they are born. When they are still babies, they will be found by the Templars in the sect, and then they will be protected and monitored overtly or covertly. When appropriate,
The opportunity leads them to the path of faith.
As long as they reach the Silver level again, they can return to the kingdom of gods even if they die.
If it develops according to the established history, it will only take two years for Xiela to reach the peak of the gold level and awaken the second cornerstone element.
Among the divine envoys of Tire, there is only one person who has the origins of both "firm" and "pure". That is Argus, the Holy Coffin Knight who was the only one who could defend against the Elucard offensive in its heyday a thousand years ago.
.His origin is "no retreat".
After Xi La was added to this book in the future, the two most valuable and rare things in his drop list were the origin element of "firmness" and the defensive posture. Unretreatable Shield.
Almost all the relatively easy-to-use defense-to-origin formulas have the description "firm"... and compared to the "cyborg" Solanworth who has reached the Temple of Truth, it is obvious that Xila is easier to brush alone.
Therefore, until Roland traveled through time, Xila was still a miserable boss who was pushed every week.
So after Roland saw Xiela, he actually felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.
Compared to the two bosses, Marco and Farina, Roland did meet with Xila more often.
"...I want to play a game with you."
After thinking for about ten seconds, Roland suddenly suggested: "One question per person."
Xila was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
"good."
He nodded and agreed simply.
It just so happened that Xila had sworn a truthful oath, so he could not lie for the rest of his life, and he also gained the supernatural ability to see through the other party's lies.
Therefore, if neither party can lie, it will be an advantage for Sila.
After all, given his character, he doesn't bother lying and is not good at lying either.
But it's different from usual. The difficulty of this quiz game actually lies in another place.
Because the two people were surrounded by wizards, and they were looking over curiously, observing the gentle but indifferent conversation between Roland and Xiela.
If they don't want to cause trouble, two people must ask questions in words that only the other party can understand, and give answers in the same way.
"Did you learn my name from Claude?"
Roland asked unceremoniously first.
After a slight hesitation, Xila nodded slightly: "That's right."
"So, Mr. Roland...what do you think of people like South Wind Ring?"
"We are irreconcilable," Roland replied without hesitation, and then immediately asked, "How many days will it take for you to come over?"
Immediately, Xila fell into silence.
He is not a cultist, which means Roland is a druid.
But... Roland's second question, Xiela did not dare to answer.
Roland asked about their total attack time.
Subconsciously, he clenched his hands slightly, tilted his upper body forward involuntarily, and his whole body became more upright.
As if to distance himself from him, Roland leaned back, almost sinking into the soft seat.
This question is too confidential. As long as he is not stupid, he will definitely not be able to tell Roland the time of the general attack.
Therefore, Xila hesitated whether to terminate the game directly. Or he thought about whether there was any loophole that could be used to deceive the truth...
"Let me change the question."
Roland suddenly spoke, and Xiela was simply relieved.
Chapter completed!
