Traversed to the Ark of Tomorrow, but was a traveler

Chapter 171 Welcome to Rhode Island

The two of them heard Andone's voice, looked at each other and pushed open the door together, looking in through the gradually expanding crack of the door——

——Andon sat on a bench in front of the statue, bowed his head, and from the sound of fingertips rubbing his fingers, he could probably tell that he was reading a book unhurriedly.

The solemn, noble and unpredictable atmosphere made Xia Lan raise a little subconscious respect, but Skadi, who had seen the big world in Agor, didn't feel much about it, and kept silent all the time.

Xia Lan noticed Andoun's dim wings and halo, and while speculation rose in his heart, he also aroused his absolute perception of Originium energy, trying to ponder the "god's gaze" on him.

Somewhat different - that's his conclusion, but that's it.

As they entered the church, Andon closed the pages, stood up and looked at them, before asking, "Are you two interested in the gods of Rutland?"

But then his expression darkened and he said apologetically, "But I'm sorry, I'm not worthy to lead you in prayer now..."

Xia Lan shook her head slightly and explained, "No, we are just curious about this church... and you."

"Me?" Andon was stunned for a second, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know how I and this dilapidated church were appreciated by the two of you?"

"I'm just curious about your wings and halo. I haven't seen your special halo a few times in Rutland City. What's the point?" Xia Lan asked bluntly, looking at the surrounding murals and carvings. Skadi also cast a curious look.

But Andoun shook his head slightly and replied, "Wings and halos... They are affected by blood, mind and other things, even Rutland's church researchers can't explain the reason, let alone I am... an ordinary person."

"But..." He paused suddenly, turned to look at the angelic statues that were lit by the light, and murmured, "After that incident, they have undergone some different changes, perhaps reflecting something... …”

"Did you no longer believe in your gods, or did you have a different mentality than others?" He asked curiously, his eyes still on his halo.

The halo is the connection node with "God", and its difference means that "God" has a different attitude towards him.

"..." Andon stopped and said after a long silence, "Perhaps, it is because of this, because of this, I lost the ability to empathize, because of this... I can no longer live as an angel, it is because of this... Because of this, I lost my hometown..."

He looked rather confused, giving the impression that he was a believer who had lost the guidance of the gods.

Xia Lan and Skadi looked at each other and discussed in their hearts what to say before saying, "Please don't pay attention to some of the rebellious content in what I said next."

Andon recovered his senses, shook his head bitterly and said, "Please say, I won't care."

——“In fact, regardless of whether they believe in gods or not, and whether they are watched by gods or not, people on this earth are firmly rushing to survive.”

"If the gods can't give you the guidance to move forward, then it doesn't matter if the gods don't believe in them. Whether it is to save yourself or save the world, you have to rely on your own hands, not the grace of God."

His voice echoed in the empty church, and it took a long time to disappear into the air.

The sunlight shining on the statue seemed to be brighter again, and Xia Lan immediately felt something different——

——After he said these words, Rutland's "god" seemed to have some incomprehensible reaction to him. There was a beam of light that wanted to establish a connection with him, but was blocked by his subconscious protection. down.

"This is really smart." Xia Lan said to Skadi in his heart, wondering if this was a "giant beast" or some other "god".

Skadi looked at the energy vision he shared with her, looked up and down the light gathered around Xia Lan, and asked curiously, "Do you want to try to accept it?"

"Of course I won't accept it. I don't know where his body is, so I can't control his power. The only countermeasure is to destroy it. If I accept this light, what will happen? What a moth." He replied in the bottom of his heart, and then wiped away the surrounding light.

He seemed to know what he meant by refusing, and the light disappeared in an instant.

At this time, Andon, who stared blankly at the statue for a long time, finally replied: "Is it... Is this...?"

"Almost, at least that's what I did, and I've already done something." Xia Lan grinned, realizing that the atmosphere was in place, took Skadi's hand and walked out.

Andon didn't speak any more, and stood in front of the statue until they left.

When the two came to the grass outside the church, Xia Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked uncomfortable, and she couldn't help laughing at the look on her face.

"Don't pretend if you don't know how to pretend, why bother?" She pursed her lips and smiled.

But Xia Lan shook her head meaningfully, and said solemnly: "On this land, you can't survive without riddles."

She tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "It seems that it really makes sense, doesn't it?"

"Humph." Xia Lan chuckled lightly and walked with her towards the deeper part of the grass.

……

A few days later, the day of the messenger meeting.

Xia Lan finished reading the copy that Kelsey had prepared for him step by step, and then continued to sit there "calmly", with a stagnant aura, looking like a rather powerful boss, although he was quite young, But no one dared to underestimate him, who did not miss any flaws at all.

[Pure Heart] [Texture Distortion] [Calm] [Energy Shield] [Perception Enhancement]...

Under the spell fluctuations that he completely covered up, there are five or six interlocking spells that are combined and superimposed. It is no wonder that his breath looks so stagnant and heavy.

In addition to listening to the various contents of the meeting, he was still chatting with Skadi in his heart. She did not follow him into the main venue, but was waiting in the lounge.

The most important step has been completed. After the meeting, there will be a procedure for the Pope to receive the messengers of various organizations individually. At that time, can he see the Pope and whether he cares about the things raised by Rhode Island.

Speaking of which, the Pope sitting on the rostrum looks like a fat white old man with a big waist and a round belly... He doesn't seem to be capable of fighting.

But Xia Lan knew that the Pope's combat power was definitely the best among the Rutlanders. Although he looked fat... but the underside of that white and elegant dress was full of muscles.

Moreover, the Pope's guardian gun also has a strange light, as if he is being watched by a god. It is a high-level weapon that may be comparable to the Dragon Slaying Sword. It is very powerful and can definitely break the defense against him and Skadi. harm.

……

After the meeting, Xia Lan and Skadi, who were eating in the lounge, received the notice of the reception, and they successfully met the Pope after eating.

Xia Lan also rigidly read the document given by Kelsey from the beginning to the end, listening to the Pope's face full of weirdness, but he still didn't say much for Xia Lan's very mysterious sake, and simply thought about it. Fan will determine the next business with Rhode Island.

And Xia Lan... so far, she didn't realize what was going to happen next.

At the end of the meeting that night, the two who had packed their things received a call from the Rhode Island operator and came to wait outside the hotel.

At the same time, the other two just came out of the hotel, and the two groups of people who looked at each other looked at each other and were stunned.

"Why did you just meet Mostima and the others?" Xia Lan retracted her doubtful gaze and asked Skadi in her heart.

Fiametta followed Mostima's gaze and noticed Xia Lan in the distance, and whispered, "Are they the two people we saw before?"

"Well." Mostima nodded slightly, a conjecture rose in her heart, and she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth with interest, seeing Fiametta's face bewildered.

"Just watch it, the answer will be revealed soon," she said, waiting quietly.

Confused, she quickly saw the Rhodes Island vehicle coming in the distance, and then showed a shocked look, and suddenly realized: "They are the messengers of Rhodes Island?!"

"Exactly." Mostima agreed and walked over there.

And Xia Lan finally realized their intentions - the Pope said before that he would send a messenger to complete the follow-up contact task, but Ye Mei said it was the two Mostima!
"Uh... How are you?" Xia Lan greeted slightly strangely, looking at the blue-haired fallen angel in front of her, she felt quite special to him.

"Have you noticed us before?" Mostima asked with a smile, patting the staff behind him that had fallen silent.

"That's natural, ma'am," he responded politely, still looking poised.

"Ah? What? What? What happened?" Fiameta looked at the two people who seemed to have known each other naturally.

"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate." Mostima stretched out his hand to him, and after shaking it with him, he nodded to Fiameta, and got on the vehicle together, and Xia Lan followed closely behind.

"After she knows your nature, I don't know if she will show a very strange expression." Scottie snickered in his heart.

Xia Lan shrugged, indicating that it was not a big problem.

The Rhode Island operatives who came to pick them up seemed to have known about Mostima and the two of them for a long time. On the contrary, they were very surprised by their relationship with Xia Lan. It seemed that they had not formally contacted them.

"Listen to the Pope, Rhodes Island is still a very interesting organization?"

"Of course, there are even giant beast fragments similar to your lock." Xia Lan said nonchalantly, and they were surprised when they heard it.

Fiameta's eyes almost popped out. It was hard to imagine that such an explosive news would be spoken out of his mouth in such a hasty manner.

But what she didn't know at all was that Xia Lan and Skadi in front of her... were two complete gods. Although they were still in the growth stage, they had almost endless possibilities.

"That's it." Mostima rolled his eyes lightly, but still spread his hands and said, "But unfortunately, the old man doesn't like to socialize and doesn't care about other giant beasts at all, I'm afraid he will still be disappointed at that time. return."

"I'll look at it later, but at least, welcome to Rhode Island." Xia Lan didn't say any more, and focused on writing this mission report.

All I can say is that it was perfect.

But the moment he typed the first word, he was suddenly startled and cursed inwardly - he actually forgot to get the gun weapon production materials of the later version!
