In this way, Gallo and Mader discussed and learned about enchantments throughout the morning.
And poor Captain Undine can only play with the kitten all morning...
At lunch, because no one served lunch today, the three humans could only eat baked potatoes. On the contrary, the little milk cat had milk to drink and ate better than the humans.
Lunch was hastily taken care of, Mader had to go back to look after the store, Undine had to go back to the security team, and Gallo was going to read a book with the Divine Light Cathedral.
So the three of them parted outside the church door. Gallo left Amiya to guard the door, locked the door again, and went to find Miseran.
I just got along with a beautiful girl in the morning, and then went to see another girl in the afternoon. It sounds like a bit of a scumbag.
However, Gallo was simply studying, studying seriously, and did not take a peek at Miseran's face or legs.
After spending the day peacefully like this, he returned to the small villa at night and mentioned the day's events to the old bishop.
"Unknown purpose? Unknown motive? Criminal who left no clues?"
After listening to his description of Mrs. Carola's trouble, the old bishop couldn't help but frowned and muttered in a low voice:
"Why is it so similar to your style?"
Gallo waved his hands quickly and argued with reason:
"Don't talk nonsense. I won't send threatening letters. I always come directly to your door."
The old bishop smiled and asked:
"Then you plan to help this lady?"
Gallo shook his head and replied:
"I don't plan to get involved too deeply, but this business is hard-won, and I still want to complete the commission well... so I'm more worried that Mrs. Carola won't be able to last until I finish the barrier."
The old bishop was not too worried about this aspect. He smiled and said:
"You have to believe in the professionalism of the Supreme True God Religion."
"In fact, objectively speaking, among the three orthodox religions, they are the most capable and the most powerful."
"This is probably because the Paladin's status in their sect is slightly higher than that of the Priest, and even the person they talk to is the Grand Knight Captain instead of the Archbishop."
Hearing what the old bishop said, Gallo felt relieved, but then he was concerned about other issues:
"But...how long do you plan to sleep until Lilianluo?"
"Also, I haven't had time to think carefully about the strange bud in the garden and the strange magic spell recorded on it recently... Sure enough, after becoming a bishop, I am much busier than before, and I am not as relaxed and comfortable as when I was a priest.
.”
The old bishop smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say...
Anyway, I am not that busy, so I have been busy recently.
He could only reluctantly comfort him:
"This is how life is, as you grow up, there will always be more and more things..."
"Smooth things out, one by one."
As he said this, he suddenly thought of something again and turned to ask:
"By the way, the Winter Festival is next month. Can you complete the layout of the barrier before then?"
Gallo nodded and replied:
"It should be fine, right? What's wrong? Is there something urgent?"
The old bishop smiled and said somewhat mysteriously:
"I have nothing to do, but others are probably looking forward to your free time, right?"
Gallo nodded again and continued:
"Yes, I think so. There will be a lot of people looking forward to me, and I will need to spare some time."
"For example, the children in the orphanage have never had time to visit them; and the believers who have just joined the sect, we have to hold some ceremonies and religious activities for them to let them fully feel the joy of the festival!"
"Everyone should be looking forward to it, right? So I have to complete the barrier as soon as possible!"
The old bishop couldn't help being stunned and said with some embarrassment:
"No...I'm not talking about these things..."
"Oh... forget it, let's talk about it then..."
Finally, Gallo exercised a bit, took a shower, went to check on Lilian Luo's condition, picked her up and played with her, and then went back to the room to sleep.
Before going to bed, it’s still the same daily sin:
"Lord Miya, I had a very peaceful day today and I didn't make any mistakes..."
"Today's crime can be sued tomorrow, right?"
"May the goddess forgive me..."
So on the second day, Lilianluo was still sleeping. Gallo thought that he would have to guard the church alone today, but the old bishop did not go to the orphanage today, but went to the new church with him.
But when the two of them entered, they saw that Amiya was still standing there in a daze, continuing to stare at the rabbit-eared girl demon doll, acting like a madman.
However, the surrounding floors and windows were clean, and it seemed that it did not stare at people all night long, but did something else.
"It's been like this since yesterday, and I don't know what to do?"
"If this continues, the little cat's sweater will not be knitted..."
Gallo said helplessly.
The old bishop observed carefully, thought about it seriously, and then speculated:
"It may not just want to be beautiful, as you have guessed, or it may simply be curious about its kind..."
"I think it's lonely..."
"Lonely?"
"But am I not there every day? And the little ones also like to be around it."
Gallo said with some confusion, and the little kittens hiding in his arms jumped out and ran to Amiya, meowing around her feet.
No matter how popular you look, it has nothing to do with loneliness, right?
"No, no, no, what I mean by loneliness is not the simple sense, but the kind of loneliness where you can't find anyone with the same kind of loneliness."
The old bishop explained:
"It's like the loneliness of being alone in a foreign country."
After hearing this analogy, Gallo immediately understood.
He himself has experienced this kind of loneliness...
Probably when he was reborn, he always felt that he was an earthling and a time traveler. When he came to this world, it was like being in a foreign country. Everything around him seemed so strange and he seemed so out of place.
But later he gradually adapted to it, and his memory about the earth became increasingly blurred, and he gradually regarded himself as a native of this world.
"Talking back to Amiya, she may not have felt that sense of loneliness before she met her kind. She probably felt that she was similar to humans, so she didn't feel lonely when she lived with us."
"But when it meets a similar person, it realizes that it is different from us after all, so it feels lonely."
"And you haven't gone out with it much in recent times, have you? Let it go to church alone every night, without even a kitten around. This situation has intensified its understanding of the concept of loneliness.
and cognition.”
The old bishop spoke eloquently, which seemed to make sense.
But Gallo doesn't entirely agree with this conclusion.
Amiya is really just a golem, or a stupid golem. Even if she has a soul, she shouldn't be so emotionally sensitive, right?
Emotion is a very complicated thing, especially human emotion, which is even more complicated.
Just look at the little kittens and you will understand. How long have they been coming to the sect? They have not grown up yet, and they have not yet learned to observe words and expressions.
The same goes for Lilian Luo. Sometimes Gallo clearly just wants to play with her twin tails, but she misunderstands the other person's eyes and takes the initiative to hand over her little feet...
This is true even for creatures like them who are born with souls and even intelligence, not to mention Amiya, whose foundation is even worse.
But Gallo did not open his mouth to refute, because he did not completely deny the possibility mentioned by the old bishop.
It could even be said that he quite expected the old bishop's inference to be correct.
This shows that Amiya is more like a human than a little donkey.
Amiya is a monster that is tireless, fearless, and has no joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. Even though it has its own thoughts and ideas, it is much better than Mad's toys.
But if you can't experience emotions, you are still far away from human beings.
If it can really experience loneliness, this is actually a good thing, although it is a relatively negative emotion.
Only with pain can there be happiness, and only with this feeling can we become human.
"Then what should we do next?"
Gallo asked again.
The old bishop thought for a moment and replied:
"Didn't it express with gestures yesterday that it wanted to change its clothes and become more beautiful?"
"This shows that Mader's inference is also correct."
"Can we think of a way to do this first?"
The old bishop did not deny Gallo and Mader's speculation. He believed that Amiya's emotions at the same time were not only loneliness, but also love of beauty and curiosity...
Curiosity is easy to understand. It has always been curious about new things.
If you love beauty, you will be in trouble. The tall and thick monster suddenly wants to dress itself up, which is very difficult to do.
The old bishop then proposed a very bold idea:
"It seems to like the appearance of this monster very much. Can you think of a way to transfer its soul to this new monster?"
This is obviously impossible, and it doesn't require an expert on golems like Mader to judge. Even Gallo knows that this idea is too ridiculous.
Human beings don't have a thorough understanding of their own souls, let alone a demon's?
I don't even know where my soul is...
This certainly doesn’t mean that just replacing Amiya’s head with the bunny-eared girl’s body will be enough, as that will only damage both demon dolls.
The golem is a very delicate thing.
Such an outrageous thing as directly changing heads can only be done by the two-dimensional Joint Overlord, Head Changer and Transformers.
After listening to Gallo's explanation, the old bishop smiled awkwardly. He knew nothing about golems, so naturally he did not dare to say anything more.
But he turned around and suggested:
"Then can this bunny-eared girl also have a soul?"
Gallo shook his head repeatedly:
"This is definitely not possible... We still haven't figured out where Amiya's soul came from."
The old bishop then suggested:
"Try what you did to Amiya again on the new demon?"
"Is that so? Then you stay at the church for a while, and I'll go to the market. Mader will come over soon, and you ask him to wait for me for a while."
Gallo said, getting ready to ride on his little donkey to go to the market.
The old bishop stopped him quickly and asked strangely:
"Why are you going to the market?"
Gallo explained:
"Buy paint. The first thing I did when I picked up Amiya was to give it a beautiful blue and white paint scheme."
"Also, you can also change Amiya's body paint. Don't you want it to be beautiful? How about changing it to a unique red and green color scheme?"
The old bishop quickly grabbed him and advised:
"Let's skip the painting step and go directly to the next step..."
Gallo asked:
"Eh? Is this okay?"
“There is a saying in our hometown that ‘painting can give soul’. Maybe this is the key step to inject soul?”
"Goodbye, farewell, this is not your hometown, you should do as the Romans do."
Gallo was persuaded by the old bishop and had to skip the painting step.
After the painting, the next step was to add magical powers to Amiya.
At that time, he blessed Amiya with many magical arts, making her movements more flexible, her steps lighter, and her body stronger.
And one of the most critical magical skills is——
Disguise Amiya as a little donkey!
So after the rabbit-eared girl did the same thing, she became more flexible, lighter and stronger.
But the appearance has also changed from a pretty and cute girl with bunny ears to a little donkey...
Moreover, it is a relatively slender little donkey, far less burly than Amiya, so much so that it could be mistaken for a big black mule.
But after doing all this, the little donkey still didn't get his soul and was still as motionless as the puppet.
Even the operating feel has not improved much, and it can still only execute three commands: forward, stop and undress.
That last order was told to him by Mader yesterday, and Gallo hasn't found a chance to try it yet.
"You...you...you...look...this...surely...can't do it either..."
Gallo's teeth kept chattering and he trembled as he spoke.
He then turned around and glared at Amiya, who was shaking his arm vigorously, and asked helplessly:
"You...you...you...shake...my...arm...for?"
After he turned the rabbit-eared girl into a little donkey, Amiya seemed a little anxious and dissatisfied, shaking his arm as if begging for something.
If Lilianluo, Daidai, or Captain and Youlan were to do this kind of action, they would look cute and clingy, making people unable to help but satisfy their requests.
But if it were Amiya, it would make people feel uncomfortable at the level of bones falling apart...
Gallo tried to pull out his arm, but how could his strength compare to Amiya?
"Whoa! Don't...don't...sway...you're going to die!"
"I...I...will...change it...back..."
It wasn't until Gallo dispelled the magic from the bunny-eared girl, making her beautiful and lovely again, that Amiya calmed down.
In short, this attempt still failed.
Is it true that only gods can do this kind of thing?
But whether it was Gallo, the old bishop, or even Amiya herself, they all forgot a very small detail from the beginning:
Gallo gave Amiya a name...
