I really only stop

As visitors and hosts, Pope Berendo and Lu Xi and his party did not have any purpose, they stopped and stopped, and the atmosphere was like an outing.

"Your Majesty the Holy Light! I have a question to ask!"

In this leisurely environment, Celica, who is extremely adaptable, has completely returned to her usual lively state, bouncing up and down and raised her little hand at the Pope:

"Why didn't I see other people in the sanctuary? Before coming here, I thought the sanctuary was as lively as the imperial capital!"

"Haha, after all, the imperial capital is the capital of the empire. Its main function is the economic center and political center of the empire, and the sanctuary is a place where a group of old men gather to drink tea and chat. How lively is it compared to God?"

Not at all unhappy because of Celica's special title, the Pope smiled kindly instead:

"But you're right. The sanctuary has been deserted these past two days because of some phenomenon. The sages and cardinals are all studying the source of the problem. It's also true that people like us who hang around can't meet other people. Of course."

"Is something wrong with the sanctuary?"

Upon hearing this, Yuxia frowned:

"Which aspect? Demon race?"

"No, no, it's far less nervous."

Knowing how deeply this child is obsessed with the Demon Race, His Majesty the Pope quickly explained:

"Recently at night, the magic circle of the light source in the sanctuary has a little problem from time to time, and sometimes it will suddenly go out-but the longest time is only half a minute, which is not a big deal. People who are good at holy arts here are so There are many, just pick any one that can illuminate the entire sanctuary, but the aging of the sanctuary buildings revealed behind it is worth paying attention to. The sages other than me are probably in a meeting now-woo! I slipped my mouth !"

"Ah, caught by me!"

It was useless for the Pope to cover his mouth belatedly. The lady who heard what he said clearly just put her hands on her hips, and narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly:

"Grandpa Pope, as the leader of the clergy and sages, you can't be so leisurely all the time! There are many affairs in the sanctuary that need your approval to be implemented smoothly. If I guess correctly, the sanctuary who is meeting now The staff should have discovered that you sneaked away, and they are trying to catch you!"

"Hoo~"

Coincidentally, as soon as Miss Saint's words fell, a butterfly whose body was composed of holy light flew slowly from behind her, and the target was clearly to crown Berendo.

snort!The rare time spent with Yuxiya, how could it be spoiled by you old bastards!

Incomparable belief erupted in his eyes. On the surface, the Pope pretended to be obedient, but actually moved his fingers imperceptibly. He pinched out a Holy Light Nightingale out of thin air, and bypassed You in a dangerous and dangerous manner. Xia, rushed forward and swallowed the Holy Light Butterfly in one gulp.

All of this was done without Yuxia's awareness.It has to be said that being able to make such a small movement under the eyes of the holy lady who is born with a full value of holy light affinity, this powerful pope who was called "the enlightening star of the holy light" when he was young The strength is evident.

——However, due to the angle of view, this scene completely fell into the eyes of Lu Xi behind the two.

It was shattered, the illusion that I thought I could meet powerful characters was all shattered!This spirit of wanting to fish at all costs is comparable to Zarika's!

Before His Majesty the Pope found his gaze, Lu Xi quickly raised his head and pretended to look at the sky.

Father Pope, you really do everything to accompany Yuxia.

Poor old people in the world.

... Well, in order to leave a good impression, I won't report him this time.

Chapter 457 The Missing First Saint

"Yusia, you are also considerate of me, an old man."

Seeing that the Holy Light Butterfly was swallowed by the Holy Light Nightingale in two bites, Berendo, who was relieved, said:

"Don't forget, I just saw off the visitors from the elves. I need a proper amount of rest between work and work, and wouldn't it be good to use this time to take a walk with you lively children? The elderly should exercise diligently Well~"

The Pope's grandfather is indeed old, but his attainments in the holy arts are higher than mine. Does he need to take a walk to relieve his fatigue?

"This……"

Yuxia looked at the Pope with some doubts, paused for a while before nodding:

"Well, I understand. However, the rest time can only be until there is work. If the sages use holy magic to find your location, I will immediately take you to the cathedral. Is that okay?"

Hahahahaha! !impossible!That smelly butterfly has been eaten by old man my nightingale!

Taking a breath full of complacency, the laughing Pope's face showed a glowing red light:

"Definitely, now, let me introduce more about Sanctuary to your new friends."

--------------

As expected of the person who taught Yuxia, in the process of traveling around the sanctuary, the explanations given by the Pope were humorous and easy to understand, and even Celica, who didn't like listening to lectures the least, could easily listen to the knowledge.

Unknowingly, the footsteps of a group of people have come to the square in front of the cathedral.

"That, His Majesty the Pope."

Nana, who was encouraged by the Pope before and now received the [Sun Horn Halo Active] bonus, rarely raised her hand and asked:

"Excuse me, who is depicted on the sculpture at the entrance of the cathedral?"

sculpture?

Following the direction of the soft girl's finger, Lu Xi subconsciously looked, and what he saw made him faintly admire.

This is a very beautiful female statue.

The whole body of the statue is carved from shiny white jade.The main body is a beautiful woman in her twenties, dressed in a plain white robe, opening her arms towards the square in front of her.

The sculptor's craftsmanship is very exquisite. With his delicate skills, the women's original loose white robes are carved into the appearance of fluttering with the wind, and the women's beautiful body curves are outlined by the wind in an ingenious arc.The whole statue thus acquires a strong sense of dynamic beauty, which not only shows the beauty of women, but also does not appear too vulgar.

Especially the women's faces, after the sculptor's meticulous grinding, the soft features and the firmness and kindness in the eyes are perfectly outlined.Under the warm sunlight, the statue itself exudes a holy and inviolable atmosphere just like Yuxia who is using holy magic.

"——This is the world's first clergyman, the first saint, Lord Hiyera."

After staring at the statue with full respect for a while, His Majesty the Pope introduced:

"According to the legend, Master Hiyera is the first person in history to awaken the [Holy Light]. He does not rely on any external force from any props, does not force any blood race, as long as he has pure kindness in his heart, the power of the Holy Light will naturally Emerging in my heart—it is precisely because of this power that when the black wings of disaster covered the sky and the last hope had not yet arrived, Master Heyera led the intellectual race that had lost everything to fight, and saved the subsequent reversal. precious time."

Disaster?

I don't know how many times I heard this term, Lu Xi's brows faintly twitched:

"So, Lord Hiyera is a figure of the glorious era?"

"Huh? I actually know the term [Glorious Age]. Except for scholars who specialize in history and us sages and old men, there are not many such people now."

Some raised his eyebrows in surprise, the Pope nodded:

"According to the research of the Holy See, this is indeed the case. It is said that Lord Hiyera was still under 22 years old when everything in the world was shattered by disasters and led the intellectual race to fight to preserve the last fire, even though she was a figure in the glorious era , and it should be very close to the end.”

Can lead the army to fight against disasters under the age of 22?

It was indeed the most turbulent era ten thousand years ago, and this kind of heroic character who was enough to be the protagonist can be seen everywhere.

"Then what is the final destination of Lord Hiyera?"

After listening to the Pope's narration, Nana, who could easily put herself into the story, naturally asked this question:

"After defeating Calamity, did she establish today's Holy See?"

"No, today's Holy See was established under the crown of the first Pope."

What Ruanmei didn't expect was that Berendo shook his head slightly when she guessed that it was a matter of course:

"The first pope was one of the first to learn the way of the Holy Light from Lord Hiyera. Unlike Lord Hiyela, who was born a saint, he has no special talent and has summed up a very practical set of Holy Light exercises. The law has played an indelible role in the promotion of the power system of the Holy Light—as for Lord Hiyera, it is said that she suddenly disappeared some time before the arrival of the brave, and has been lost since then."

"Such a powerful first-generation Saintess just disappeared like this!?"

The fascinated Celica expressed that she could not accept such an ending:

"Why? Couldn't there be any clue left?"

"Currently the most widely circulated theory is that Master Hiyera led an elite team to try to find a way to completely defeat the disaster, but unfortunately failed in the end."

He stretched out his hand and rubbed Celica's head. After talking about this, His Majesty the Pope couldn't help but sigh:

"Selika, not all stories can have a perfect ending, especially when facing a worldwide crisis. Moreover, for these great pioneers, our current peaceful world is probably the [most It's a good ending."

Celica pursed her mouth:

"...Well, I see."

"—Okay, most of the sanctuary has been shown to you."

Seeing that the emotions of these young people were somewhat depressed because of Hiyera's story, Berendo applauded lightly, making everyone's attention focus on him:

"It's already so late before I know it. Yuxia, will you stay for dinner? In fact, it's okay to stay for a day! As far as I know, there are many places worth exploring around the sanctuary. If you want to go shopping, Living here for three to five months is not a problem at all!"

How much do you want Yuxia to live here.

"Well, it's rare to come back, and I don't want to leave so soon..."

Biting her lips in confusion, Miss Saintess looked at her teammates tentatively, and finally fixed her gaze on Lu Xi:

"Do you have any urgent matters to deal with? If you stay in the sanctuary for a few more days, will it cause trouble for you?"

"what--"

Before Lu Xi had time to open his mouth, he almost choked on his own saliva due to the intense gaze from the Pope's crown.

【stare--】

If you say 'No, go home now! ', I guess my head will be blown off by this poor widowed old man.

Reading such determination from the Pope's eyes, Lu Xi, who was planning to sway around, blinked his eyes kindly, and then nodded under Yuxia's surprised eyes:

"In this case, let's bother for two more days."

[Boy, get on the road! 】

His Majesty the Pope laughed from ear to ear:

"Come on, boys, we're going to dinner now."

Chapter 458 Sudden Duel Invitation (Add)

Delicious food is part of a comfortable life—this is the national talent of Lu Xi, the traveler.

Don't look at Lu Xi who has been nesting in the city of Rhine since he crossed over. In fact, he has eaten everything from the homemade snacks made by the soft sister to the state banquet of the highest standard in the empire.

If you simply classify the tastes, the dishes made by the chef puppet Cook are of course the most delicious. If it weren't for Lu Xi and others who have their own favorite dishes, it can even last for a year without interruption Make delicious dishes that are not repeated.

This time I came to Sanctuary, I thought I could taste some delicacies that I couldn’t eat in other places, but who would have thought——

"Hey, Ruoweixi, how did Yuxia eat these things with a calm face?"

Sneaking close to Lu Xi's ear, Celica whispered something:

"Isn't this just plain rice with water? Why do I feel like the stir-fried vegetables here don't even put oil and salt?!"

"I feel the same way. This dish should be just boiled vegetables in water to look like stir-fried vegetables."

Trying to swallow the tasteless boiled vegetables with a calm expression, Lu Xi comforted Celica and comforted herself at the same time:

"Maybe this is the characteristic of the Holy See. If you come, you will be at peace. Don't you see that Nana is also happily eating vegetables... Nana?!"

When he said this, Lu Xi's eyes naturally glanced at Ruanmei.Coincidentally, he caught a puppet's hand reaching out from under the table and pouring sauce into the boiled vegetables.

Even on-site seasoning is okay? !

Seeing Nana happily eating the boiled vegetables skillfully seasoned by Cook, although the appearance has not changed a bit, but the taste is definitely a thousand times stronger, Lu Xi said it was unfair in his heart:

Cook! !Petting children is not so pampering!

You should give me a copy too!

------------

"Lu Xi, why don't you eat?"

Since dinner, the Pope seems to have been paying some attention to Lu Xi.When Celica and Lu Xi whispered just now, he just frowned, but now he finally got the chance to break the silence at the dinner table:

"Is it because the food of the Holy See is not to your taste?"

"No way."

Faced with this kind of question, Lu Xi of course shook his head again and again:

"I'm just not used to the taste of the food. You know, as an adventurer, I usually eat a little bit more food, and I have basically never tried such a bland food."

This is not a lie, people still pay attention to the bottom of the pot when cooking lettuce in a hot pot, so it is really too big of a challenge for Lu Xi to cook vegetables directly in clear water.
