"The last time was in Nordland." Richard recalled, "At that time, we were caught together by Nasha, and we were almost cut in half by her."
Ying was worried about this and said: "It's not such a pleasant memory. I was unable to protect you at that time. This was a dereliction of duty as a guard."
"Ha, actually I didn't really regard you as a guard." Richard pointed to the entrance of the slave market. "When I entered the market, I just wanted to see if there was any pretty girl I could contract with. Unexpectedly, Met you."
Ying did not shy away from her attachment to Richard. She said directly: "No matter how dirty your initial thoughts are or how perverted you are now, you are my only master."
Richard scratched his head and said, "Ahem, I feel like you're not complimenting me. Oh, forget it."
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Richard entered the tavern owned by the Adventurer's Guild.
The place is still the same as before, the noise mixed with the smell of alcohol makes people lose their sanity rapidly.
Richard looked at the task list and found that the highest-level tasks were still hanging there without any attention.
Among them was a reward order issued by the imperial royal family, offering a reward of one thousand gold coins for Richard's head.
Because Richard did not hide his appearance, when he entered the Adventurer's Guild, he immediately attracted the attention of most adventurers.
In the eyes of some bold adventurers, this is not Richard, but a thousand gold coins walking around, even if the Midden leader does not recognize this bounty.
When they wanted to provoke someone, they realized that a tall swordsman with black hair and purple eyes was following behind him.
The sharp sword intent made everyone who looked over feel the sound of teeth grinding.
Ying looked around at the adventurers around him, and then gently drew out his sword to reveal a blade. The aura of the Sword Master was revealed, and he helped Richard fight off the little devils who didn't know the heights of the world.
After a rough search, Richard walked directly to a seat by the window and sat in front of a priest from Lathander wearing a high hat. The shadow server stood behind him on guard.
Only a few adventurers suddenly discovered that a priest had been sitting in a corner of the tavern. Then he looked blankly at his glass and forgot about the scene.
"His Holiness, I salute you." Facing the highest figure of the Church of Dawn, Richard maintained a considerable degree of respect. "This is the second time we have met."
"Your guard is very beautiful, do you want to drink a glass of low-quality ale?" The Pope said very easily, "Magics are always aloof and may not be exposed to these, but you should be different."
"The whole does not represent an individual. Please don't be as stereotyped about mages as Nunalia." Richard asked for a glass of low-quality ale, and then took a sip. "When I was avoiding the royal family, the biggest Solace is going to the tavern and drinking a cheap ale.”
Richard looked at the Pope calmly. The Pope was very young, so young that he didn't even look like Mrs. Eve's mother, but more like a young man with red lips and white teeth.
The pope's breath was always very peaceful. She smiled and said: "I don't mind if you look at me up and down, as long as the girl behind you agrees. As a priest of Lathander, I can accept all decent and dishonorable behaviors, as long as they don't violate the principles. Can."
Richard asked slightly cautiously: "Can you talk about your principles in detail?"
The Pope said directly: "Take Nunalia as an example. If, I mean if, she really completely fell to Baal and became Baal's puppet to enter the Midden Territory, then I will not hesitate to start judging her. Morningside Church will not care about other small actions."
Richard was surprised and said: "You are... very straightforward."
The pope said neatly: "This is Midden Territory, and the folk customs are rough and simple. I don't like Nunalia's endless pulling and testing. Just keep everything simple."
Richard said honestly: "No wonder Nunalia doesn't like you much. Your styles are indeed completely different."
"Although our relationship is not very good, we have surprisingly cooperated well during her more than ten years in office. If possible, I hope this tacit understanding can continue." The Pope and Richard sat opposite each other, and suddenly pressed forward. , golden eyes stared at Richard, "So can you reassure me? I need you to prove Nunalia's position."
Richard took a deep breath and asked tentatively: "Then how do you want me to prove it?"
"A simple commission, this is my personal commission independent of Morningside Church."
The Pope took out a contract certified by the Adventurer's Guild and pushed it in front of Richard: "You are Nunalia's close minister. Come and prove to me that Nunalia is not the bride of Baal."
Richard took the contract and asked, "How to prove it?"
"There are many sons of Baal and senior believers of the Murder Order hiding in the Binglin Valley. They can communicate directly with Baal. I want Baal to say it himself. This is not simple. You can refuse."
"I accept, deal."
"Not bad, annoying boy." The pope pushed away his inferior ale and poured it into Richard's empty glass. "By the way, you can drink such inferior ale. Anyway, I don't want to touch it. Ha ha."
"The Pope is indeed just like the rumors, with a slightly weird temper." Richard drank the newly added ale in the cup without changing his expression. The taste of moldy grains, foaming and healthy made him feel slightly Discomfort.
"So, now, let's discuss my daughter. I'm curious. Can you answer it for me?" The pope's tone changed, and the oppression in the spiritual realm instantly filled Richard. "From a mother's standpoint, Let’s talk, kid?”
Chapter 278: Do you think men are really that good?
Richard suddenly felt a light on his back and asked in a low voice: "Sir Pope, I am actually in a hurry, can I leave?"
"No." The Pope knocked on the table, and the stone tabletop cracked like a spider web. "Do you think you can run away?"
Looking at the pope who looked like a warm spring breeze, Richard straightened his back silently, but he was still a little timid.
Richard could only pretend to be stupid and said, "What do you want to know?"
The Pope said very directly: "How far have we reached?"
"Mrs. Eve is the Great Saint of Dawn. Generally speaking, I respect her very much..."
The Pope still looked gentle and elegant, and said slowly: "You have her smell on you. Don't treat me like a fool. Do you believe that I really dare to beat you?"
Richard could only say vaguely with a headache: "Sir Pope, I think Mrs. Eve ran away from home because of you?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's not good to be too controlling."
The Pope frowned, his handsome face filled with displeasure: "No, I never controlled Eve, no."
Richard continued: "She said that you are in charge of everything. It is obviously incredible that Mrs. Eve can say these things!"
At least in Richard's family, Mrs. Eve has many more rules than other girls. However, Mrs. Eve can't stand the Pope's discipline. Obviously there is something wrong with the Pope.
The Pope said lightly: "I just asked her to go in the right direction! I just set up less than [-] rules for her, only [-]!"
Richard was shocked and said: "Hey, are you trying to drive people crazy? Doesn't the Church of Dawn always emphasize simplicity in everything?"
No wonder a soft girl like Mrs. Eve had to run away from home. The Silver Moon royal family didn't have so many red tapes.
"That is a requirement for believers. As the only great saint in the church, Eve must have enough manners to represent the great Lathander." The Pope stared at Richard and said, "And the most important thing is, I don't I don’t really require Eve to have that many rules, the only one I ask her to follow is not to get close to men, because men are not good.”
Richard replied dryly: "Indeed."
"In the end, I don't understand. Did I push too hard?" The pope suddenly said in a tone unique to parents. "In the end, when she was in the rebellious stage, she actually loudly told me that she liked men the most. After that, she He is always clamoring to go out and find a man, and he can’t even be reserved.”
Richard said sincerely: "Thank you very much."
No wonder Mrs. Eve always gives her money in vain after seeing her.
At first, Richard thought it was his misunderstanding. His feelings were that the pope made Eve's character extremely irresistible.
The Pope sighed and said: "How can there be an unmarried girl who wants a man every day, and there is nothing wrong with saying that women like men? Her words just make me think about it..."
"So, you annoying boy, tell me." The Pope stared at Richard, hesitated for a moment and then asked directly, "How good are men?"
"Uh, this...I don't know how to answer this." Richard was speechless. The Pope's question was really strange. "As a male, I think I'm pretty good. If you want to try it, I can do it for you.”
Richard regretted it after he said it. He didn't know why he said what was in his heart.
It seems that because there is a unique spiritual stance around the Pope, people who communicate with him will unconsciously directly reveal some of their subconscious desires.
No wonder people in Middenland are always hesitant and vague when talking about the pope as a person.
Anyone who sees such a person who constantly pries into other people's inner desires will feel terrified.
After all, no one has any shady and evil thoughts, and the feeling of being spied on is really terrible.
It was like having his browser records and favorites disclosed in his previous life. Richard probably had this idea.
"Oh, boy, I've heard rumors about you a long time ago." The pope was also stunned, obviously she didn't expect Richard to say such a thing.
Even though everyone and all believers will accidentally reveal their inner thoughts in front of themselves, people like Richard who are straightforward, shameless and without any guilt are very rare.
"I heard that you once courted Nunalia in public. I thought you were her lover at first, but now it turns out that you are a wife fetishist."
"Yes."
Richard no longer even wanted to explain the coincidence and argue that he was really not that perverted.
But the more he denied it, the more he admitted it, so he simply admitted it.
The Pope asked curiously: "Don't you have any sense of shame at having your face exposed?"
Richard responded mechanically: "Hello, no, thank you."
The Pope finally decided: "As expected, we cannot let Eve be with you, you are too dangerous. You can find a way to let Eve go home happily and become the well-behaved daughter I was at the beginning."
Richard simply refused: "Impossible. If Mrs. Eve doesn't want to, I won't force her. She has completely adapted to life with me and there is no way she can go back. If you force her, she will only become more annoying. you."
Now that Mrs. Eve has been completely eaten and wiped clean by herself, how could she possibly give it back!
"But I haven't seen my daughter for a long time. Without the lovely Eve, I am under great pressure at work." The Pope said equally forcefully, "You have to understand that she is first and foremost a saint of the Church of the Dawn. She is different from the brave man. , the saint is a direct link in the makeup of the Church.”
"Are you talking about holy water?" Richard took out the bottle of No. [-] holy water that Mrs. Eve gave him and put it on the table. "She said these should be able to alleviate the church's shortage of holy water for a while."
"It seems that Eve has really made up her mind not to go home." The Pope sighed and could only give up the idea of taking Eve back, "But boy, you should know that a saint must be pure, right? "
"Of course, I didn't do anything." Richard even came up with an idea, "If you really miss Eve, you can actually come to my house. My house is quite big. You can sleep when you are tired."
"I am the Pope. If I enter and exit private residences at will, problems will arise." The Pope looked at Richard with some scrutiny. "By the way, I would like to remind you that people in the Tribunal are not as easy to talk to as me."
Richard was not afraid and said: "I just hope they won't disturb Eve's life, otherwise I can't ensure the consequences."
Although the Tribunal was troublesome, Richard was definitely not afraid of it.
When he was in the Imperial Mage Academy, Lilinu was chased and intercepted by the inquisitors of the Church of the Moon every day, and Richard had long been used to it.
Besides, the Midden Territory is Anjia's Midden Territory after all. Without the help of the Great God Lathander, the size of the First Sanctuary of the Church of the Morning Sun cannot reach the point where it can shake itself.
The Pope said bluntly: "As expected, I don't like you at all, and I don't like you and Eve being together."
"I also think that common people are indeed disgusting, but after all, it's not something you can evaluate."
An aristocratic woman wearing a metal mask suddenly appeared and walked slowly to Richard's side.
Richard stood up smoothly and asked the lady to sit down.
This lady had a cold temperament, and her eyes were full of malice. She stared at the Pope, her aura was not weak at all, and asked in a cold voice: "So, Your Majesty the Pope, what are you talking about to the chief mage of Midenland? I think you should know. Church members cannot have private meetings with Duke officials."
"Lady Nunalia?"
"It's not Nunalia, it's Miss Liya."
Chapter 279 [Sorrow of the Sorrowful Wind God]
"Okay, Miss Liya?" The Pope looked up and down at this lady who looked the same as Nunalia, and asked, "Then what is your identity?"
Liya replied proudly: "Clintina's sister, that's obvious."
The Pope seemed to mean something: "Well, I just didn't expect that there was an heir hidden in Midenland."
Liya said: "Don't worry, you are worrying too much. I am a collateral lineage and have no inheritance rights, and this is not something you should consider. Explain why you and I... met privately with this annoying commoner?"
