Goddess Wanhua Mirror

It's a pity that Lude has "translated" about two-thirds of the entire novel so far, which makes Tring, who was seeing the key point but stopped abruptly, directly turn into a ruthless reminder machine, every time Lude If you come to deliver food, you have to talk about it again.

"Master, what about today's update?"

As usual, Lude quietly came to the hut where Tring was placed in the dead of night after nightfall.Lude, who was more frightened by the reminder, decided to reduce the frequency of visits, so this time he directly brought enough food to last for a week. However, to Lude's surprise, this time Tring did not remind him, but asked He asked if there was any news from Yanmu City.

"Not yet, as you know, it's a month and a half away from Yanmu City, and a lot of news has been delivered, it may have been more than half a year. What's the matter? Are you homesick?"

"Well, today is the anniversary of my mother's death. I was supposed to lay flowers in front of her tombstone..."

When mentioning his deceased biological mother, Trin's expression was rather gloomy, while Lude stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to express his comfort.

During the divination ceremony before, Lu De accidentally learned that Tring suspected that his mother who died suddenly three years ago might not have died of the so-called sudden illness.After all, Yanmu City is not a small and remote place. There are more than a dozen religious sects resident in the area, and the Yusanjia are all bishop-level priests. Apart from not knowing the resurrection technique, ordinary sudden illnesses are not difficult for them.

Coupled with his father's secretive attitude, Tring suspected that there was a conspiracy.

So at the end of the divination ceremony, Trin asked the "answerer" the truth about his mother's death three years ago, but was temporarily prevaricated by Lude's sloppy eyes.

Lude was naturally ignorant of the so-called truth. He used the mouth of the "answerer" to leave a little thought for Trin, fooling him into saying that he could have a face-to-face interview with his mother, and then left behind the "dead spirit" Warlock" and "Blood" clues.

Tring didn't forget this, so after waking up, he asked Luther if he could perform another divination.Although the necromancer was presumably dead, his body now belonged to Tring, and it was easy to take a little blood.

So Luther helped Trin hold another divination ceremony in the hiding place. Trin slashed open his palm and poured out half a bowl of blood on the spot, but the divination board showed no sign of responding to him.

Seeing that the divination didn't work, Lu De pretended to explain.

"Perhaps... we misunderstood the meaning. It's not that we need 'necromancer's blood', but two things, necromancer and blood."

"Then, don't I count?"

"Unfortunately, since there is no response, it must not be counted."

After this failed psychic divination, Tring was depressed for a while, and Lude took advantage of the time he won again to ask Hume, who was far away in Yanwood City, to hurry up and help collect internal information about the Navarro family.

This powerful family in Yanmu City is a big chamber of commerce on the surface, and a gangster family that does all kinds of evil behind the scenes. In private, it is a member of the elders of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, a hidden cultist who believes in the "God of Thieves Hume (pseudo).

To deal with such a tyrannical and powerful party, Lu De doesn't think that with his current self, he can confront the opponent head-on without any scruples.

End of this chapter

After the Harvest Festival, Pine Tree Town has entered late autumn, and the temperature is getting colder every day. The residents of the town are all starting to prepare for winter.

Since the baron's mansion is still under construction, it will take at least three months before it can be fully completed, so the old lady Sirina has given up the idea of ​​moving into the new house before winter, and plans to wait until this winter is over.

The baron's family currently lives in a hotel formerly owned by the mayor, Rom. It is located in the center of the town, with the central square in front of the door.

In view of the location here, the old lady had negotiated with the mayor Rom not long ago to change the hotel into a city hall, and allocated a larger piece of land for his family on the south side of the town near the main road. To build a bigger hotel, the Baron's family can pay half of the cost of building the hotel as compensation.

The old lady counted the days, and it has been six months since her family came to the fief. Although there were some ups and downs at the beginning, since Mayen and his gang were brought down, everything got better soon.

Because of the evil deeds of Mayen and his gang, the old lady exempted this year's tax out of apology and to restore the reputation of the Baron's family, but this does not mean that her family will have no income this year.

Not long ago, Lu De personally came to the door, expressing that he had some business and hoped to have a commercial cooperation with the Baron's family.

It turned out that the other party planned to open a large-scale production workshop called a "non-staple food company" in the local area, recruit hundreds of local people to work, and sell the locally grown chili peppers into chili sauce to other places. His factory does not enjoy the privilege of tax exemption for teaching property.

Lu De's behavior once made Sirina very puzzled, because it was like the other party was going to send money to her family!

Lude is also very frank about this. According to the kingdom's law, Pine Town now belongs to the Barony of Cork, and the lord is the legally supreme ruler of the region, with absolute power of life and death in his hands.And Lude has no intention of confronting the Baron's family, so he hopes to form a solid alliance of interests.

However, the purpose of the alliance between the two parties is not like in some territories, where the lord and the local religious forces work together to oppress and fool the people in the territory, but to take a strong and powerful alliance, and everyone will benefit one side together.

To be honest, the longer she got in touch with, the more Sirina felt that Lude was really incredible!He was very different from the sanctimonious religious people he had ever met.But there is no doubt that this is a good man who can be completely trusted.

The old lady was thinking about something related to the factory when a young female assistant knocked on the door and came in.The other party is one of the talents recommended by Lude not long ago. He is also a graduate of Brewster College this year. He is only 17 years old this year. He looks very immature and does not feel very reliable.

But after a period of trial, the old lady was pleasantly surprised to find that these young people are quite outstanding, and they are all from local backgrounds and understand the local conditions.With their assistance, the old lady can still manage the entire territory in an orderly manner even if she has no management experience.

"Sandy, what's the matter?"

"Ma'am, the guards have just reported that a group of troops wearing regular armor has arrived at the south gate of the town, claiming to be from the capital."

"From the royal capital? Are they nobles?"

"I don't know, the other party didn't reveal their identity, but the leader is a knight, and there is a carriage in the team. They want to see Master Lude of the Medicine God Sect."

"Oh!"

After inquiring about the situation of this team, they learned that there were only about twenty of them, and that the ones who hadn’t shown up in the carriage should be female relatives. The old lady remembered that when she was discussing with Lu De not long ago, the other party mentioned something to her. It is said that there will be noble children from the capital coming here to "ordained" before the winter, and the old lady should be notified in advance.

If there is no accident, the person in the carriage should be there.

These days, it is not uncommon for the children of nobles to become monks in the church. For those families with a prosperous population, the heirs with a lower order of succession will regard this as a good way out.

But what makes the old lady a little strange is that if the nobles in the capital want to become monks, they should just go to the local big church. It's not even a little bit better than Pine Town, and there's no need to travel all the way here to become a monk, unless you come here in admiration of the God of Medicine Sect and Lude, and want to become disciples of the saints.

But no matter what, they didn't come to make trouble after all. After learning about the situation a little bit, the old lady asked the assistant officer to inform the guards to let her go, and she also sent someone to tell the temple by the way.

At the same time, at the entrance on the south side of the town, a group of people who were stopped by the city gate guards were waiting patiently for a reply.The leading knight is a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life, wearing quite exquisite knight plate armor, but there is no mark with a family crest on his body. It is obvious that he is deliberately hiding his identity, but the younger deputy beside him looks A little impatient.

"Guard, how long do we have to wait?"

"Soon, it's not far from the city hall...Look, isn't that already back?"

Following the direction of the guard's finger, the middle-aged knight saw the guard who had left to report the news, and a young woman who came back together, who looked like she might not even be 20 years old.

"Hello, Sir Knight. Next is the assistant officer of the city hall. The baron has already nodded, and I will take everyone to the temple next."

"Are you kidding me! Can a woman be an assistant officer?"

"Ha Wen, don't be rude! Don't pay attention to this stunned young man, please lead the way ahead, Ms. Assistant Officer."

Glancing at the mouthless knight's deputy, Assistant Officer Sandy bowed to the polite middle-aged knight, and then led them to the temple.

In fact, the group does not need to lead the way. The entire city of Pine Tree Town is not that big, and the temple of the God of Medicine Sect is located on a small hillside. It is as conspicuous as a landmark building. The group has not yet reached the gate of the city At that time, the temple was already seen from a distance.

But leading the way is a kind of etiquette for both parties, after all, it is inevitable to go through such a process.

Soon, the team arrived at the foot of the hill in front of the gate of the temple, and the carriage could not climb the steps, so the middle-aged knight came to the carriage door in the middle of the team, bowed and said to the people in the carriage.

"Miss, we have arrived."

After the knight finished speaking, there was no response after a while in the car, while the knight kept his head down and stood silently waiting in front of the car.All this situation fell into the eyes of the assistant officer Sandy, which made her curious.

What is the identity of the person in the car?

End of this chapter

After waiting for a long time, there was still no response from the carriage, which made the surrounding escorting knights look at each other in blank dismay. Sandy, who was watching from the sidelines, even heard two knights whispering not far away.

"I said, Miss, she ran away again, didn't she?"

"Shouldn't be able to run away... right? We locked the car door all the way, and we just opened it when we arrived in the town. Even if the young lady has a hidden lockpicking tool, she can't touch the keyhole from inside the car."

At this time, Lude came out of the temple with Romean.When he first received the news, he was busy cooking in the kitchen, and it took a little time to change clothes, so he came out late.

Seeing Lude approaching, Sandy immediately bowed to her. She is a baptized believer in the God of Medicine and the first batch of graduates from Brewster College. She was recommended by Lude to work for the baron's family. Well, Lude is the person she respects the most, even above her biological parents.

Most of the outsiders present were curious and looked up and down at the priest who looked too young.

They all heard about the story of Lude being resurrected from the dead by the grace of the goddess on the way here. Although they thought it was incredible, since the story was spread so widely, there are many noble lords, even people like the God of War. If the bishops of such a big denomination say with certainty that there is such a thing, then naturally it cannot be false.

And the rumors also said that this boss is a god's choice, a priest whose strength is not lower than the archbishop's level, and is definitely among the first-class powerhouses.

"Good evening, all the knights who came from afar, I am Lude, the priest of the God of Medicine Sect. May I ask who is Knight Lawrence?"

"It's me, I'm Lawrence."

Hearing Lude's question, the middle-aged knight standing in front of the carriage responded.

At this time, there was finally movement in the carriage, and a beautiful blonde girl came down from the door.The girl looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was dressed luxuriously and had fair skin. She looked like a daughter from a wealthy family. She was as delicate and charming as a flower growing in a greenhouse.

The girl got out of the car, looked around first, and then stared at Knight Lawrence in front of her with obviously resentful eyes and said.

"Uncle Lawrence, do you really want to leave me alone in this remote place?"

"Ahem! Miss Olyfia, we are not abandoning you, but following your mother's will, sending you to the temple here to study. This is the famous saint Lude in the north. In the future, you will In a few...for a period of time, I will practice with him."

"Just this one?"

Pointing at Lude who was standing next to her, the young lady called "Olyfia" frowned, looked at Lude up and down with somewhat impolite eyes, and turned to Lawrence.

"He doesn't look much older than me! How could he be a saint. Uncle Lawrence, you are not lying to me, are you?"

"How come...you can't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that Olyfia questioned Luther's status as a saint in front of Luther, Lawrence hurriedly explained in embarrassment.

These words should have been clearly explained to the other party in advance, but along the way, the young lady in front of him was always arguing and refused to communicate with anyone, which made Lawrence never have a chance to talk to her.

Lude on the side could roughly see that this Olyfia is obviously a noble daughter who has been spoiled by her family. She may not have a bad personality, but she definitely lacks more than one "social beating".

What made Lude somewhat curious was that he once thought that what Duke Ganmerin was going to send to him was his own illegitimate son.But looking at it now, the girl's mother is probably not a small role.

From the conversation between the two just now, it is not difficult to see that the group of knights headed by Lawrence are all under the orders of Olyfia's mother. After all, the word "will" is not used casually.Therefore, Lu De can basically conclude that Olyfia's mother is a nobleman, and she is also a noblewoman with a title!

But whether it was Duke Ganmerin's letter or Lawrence in front of him, they deliberately did not mention Olyfia's surname, and Lude also wisely pretended to be confused.

Here, Lawrence finished muttering with his eldest lady, dragged Olyfia, who was still reluctant, to come to Lude, then pressed her little head, and bowed to Lude, which was regarded as the completion of apprenticeship The process of getting started, and then asked his subordinates to bring over a heavy and large box, which contained a whole thousand gold coins, which was regarded as the "tuition fee" that Olyfia's mother paid for her daughter.

Later, Lawrence explained some things to Lude. The middle-aged uncle, in an obviously apologetic tone, briefly introduced to Lude the various "great achievements" of his eldest lady during her studies in other monasteries, so that Lu De can have a psychological preparation in advance.

Olyfia, who is 14 years old now, has been sent by her mother to study in some famous monasteries in Wangdu since she was five years old.

The original intention is not to hope that she will develop into the religious world, but in the capital, many major sects operate so-called "advanced monasteries" for the children of nobles and rich people, which to a certain extent assume the role of "noble schools". Charging high fees seems to have formed an industry.

And Olyfia, who seems to be pretty and lovely, actually showed a very amazing nature of a bear child when she was very young.She stayed in several high-level monasteries before and after, and she was the scourge of all of them. In the end, the dean of the monastery would rather refund the tuition fees than accept this "little devil".

After hearing this, Lu De said to himself that after a long time of trouble, this child has been blacklisted in the education circle of the capital, and no monastery dared to accept him, so he found another way to go to Pine Town, which is far away from the capital, to study in another place.However, Lu De reckoned that this should only be a superficial reason, and Lawrence did not say the real reason.

After explaining everything that should be explained clearly, after Lawrence sent Olyfia to Lude, he immediately took his men and set off to return to the capital, leaving Olyfia alone in spite of the getting late. .I don't know if I really trust Lude completely, or if this child doesn't plan to have it anymore.

In short, looking at the knight leaving in the dust, Lude's expression at this moment is the same as that of Olyfia, messed up in the cold night wind.

"Why do I feel that these guys..."

Glancing at the blond lady next to her who was bursting with resentment, Lu De was embarrassed to say "get rid of the burden" in the second half of the sentence in front of the other party.

However, no matter what, the person had indeed been delivered to him. Lude coughed lightly, turned his head and said to the disciple he had just accepted.

"Miss Olyfia, entrusted by your mother, from today onwards, you will be an outer nun under my God of Medicine Sect. Romean, take her to the dormitory to drop off her luggage, and get acquainted with our place by the way. environment, the kitchen should be handed over to Teacher Wei.”

"Yes, Master."

Although she didn't have a good face, Olyfia didn't want to contradict Lude as soon as she came up, but kept silent rather arrogantly.

It's just that this child is still a standard young lady, and went in empty-handed. She didn't even intend to carry her two big suitcases by herself. Help her pick it up.

Lu De frowned when he saw this, and directly called to stop the two of them.

"Romeanne, give her a bag, and let her carry it herself."

"Master, I'm fine..."

"You are her senior sister, not her servant. It's fine to help each other, but you have to control the speed and let her take a bag by herself."

Seeing that Lude's intention was very firm, Romean weighed it a little bit, and handed the lighter bag to Olyfia.And Olyfia was stunned at the moment. Looking at her expression, it seemed that she understood Lu De's move as a kind of "offensive power". A pair of beautiful water blue eyes stared at Lu De firmly, He muttered as if in a fit of anger.

"Hmph! Just take it! Miss Ben, whoops..."

The moment Olyfia reached out to take her luggage, Olyfia was almost dragged by the box, and her face flushed red.

Her two large suitcases are packed to the brim. Because Romean has Argonian blood and has helped the family since she was a child, she is naturally strong, and she can easily carry one in each hand, while Olyfia's ten fingers are not in the sun. The eldest lady can only be described as having no strength to restrain a chicken, and it is very difficult to use two hands.

Comparing the two compartments, the gap is so big that people can't help laughing.

Realizing that she had made a fool of herself, Olyfia turned her head sharply to stare at Lude. The other person's face was full of the loving smile of a grandfather looking at his granddaughter, but with the face that was too young for eighteen or nineteen years old, it was unexpected. The extremely mocking effect made Olyfia hate it so much.

Under Lude's watchful eyes, Olyfia stubbornly refused Romean's help again, and staggered into the temple with a suitcase alone.

When the group returned to the temple, Lude arranged for Olyfia and Romean to live in a dormitory. In fact, there are still vacant rooms in the temple. Before the temple was renovated, a new two-story building was built in the backyard. For the nuns dormitory.But in the case of Olyfia, Lude really didn't dare to arrange a room for her alone.

And when she learned that she was going to share a room with someone else, Olyfia immediately protested.The high-level monastery she stayed in before would give her a single room at the last time, or even a whole courtyard, and one or two nuns would take care of her daily life, enjoying a life not inferior to that of an aristocrat.

But these are the "most basic" conditions in Olyfia's view, but they can't be satisfied here in Lude, which makes this young lady who is used to being served feel that she has been neglected like never before!
