In this way, Luo Mi successfully got to the side of the Son of God – although in the form of a semi-captive.
Although Anos’s detection was very fast, Luo Mi still spent 4 points, which made him feel very distressed. He bargained with the system: “I am also considered a ‘chosen one’, can’t you give me 10 more points?”
[You can’t fool the system.]
Luo Mi sighed deeply and scratched the collar around his neck.
After Anos put it on him, he never took it off. Even with this collar, the silver knights who were walking with them still looked at Luo Mi with vigilance and even hostility.
Luo Mi sat in the carriage, boredly watching John across from him learning the characters from the knight Luke.
Luke was the knight from last night, assigned by Anos to teach John.
Although most towns had free schools run by churches and higher-level schools affiliated with monasteries, they had little to do with poor children like John who were struggling to make ends meet. Therefore, Anos had asked Luke to teach John how to read, so that it would be easier for him to make money and support himself no matter where he went.
Luke had taken off his helmet, and he saw that he had dark brown curly hair and messy stubble, as he patiently taught John to learn the most basic letters.
Luo Mi originally wanted to learn it, but he soon discovered that the writing system of this world was the same as the English on Earth, and there was no need to learn anything extra.
Luo Mi complained to the system in his heart: “I thought that even if it wasn’t a foreign language that I didn’t understand at all, it should at least be Latin or something like that, right?”
[It may be because the author who wrote this book did not understand Latin.]
Luo Mi thought about it and felt that it was true. He touched his hungry belly and said, “I don’t know when I can have food to eat…”
John was reciting the words seriously when he suddenly heard a loud “gurgling” sound.
What word was this? He looked up blankly and looked towards the source of the sound.
Luo Mi met the gazes of Luke and John and said awkwardly, “Sorry, I’m hungry.”
Luke’s eyes instantly became alert and he protected John behind him.
Luo Mi was amused by his reaction: “What are you doing? I don’t eat people.”
John poked his head out from behind Luke: “I still have some cookies. Luke gave them to me. Do you want some?”
Luo Mi’s eyes lit up, but before he could agree, he heard Luke reject John’s proposal, “He won’t eat it.”
Luo Mi: “…”
Luo Mi: “Brother, it’s not necessary, right?”
Luke patted John’s shoulder and said, “Wait a minute. I’ll go get him something to eat. I’ll be back soon.”
He whispered to John, “If he attacks you, just scream and people outside will hear you.”
Luo Mi: “…”
Was that so?
The system quietly reminded: [Host, have you forgotten that you are now a succubus?]
“A succubus wouldn’t be so hungry as to attack a child like John!”
[According to the settings of this world, ordinary food only has a slight effect on the stomach of succubi. The only thing that can really satisfy their appetite is actually…]
“…” Luo Mi questioned, “Can the setting of this world really pass the review?”
Soon, Luke came back in with a small sheepskin bag in his hand. Seeing that John and Luo Mi were sitting there peacefully, he breathed a sigh of relief and handed the bag to Luo Mi: “This is food specially for demons. Although it is not specifically for succubi, you should be able to eat it.”
Luo Mi opened the bag, revealing two pieces of soft-baked white bread that exuded a rich aroma of butter and honey.
Luo Mi, who had been hungry for the whole night, wolfed down one and only then did he feel his stomach was soothed.
While chewing on the second loaf of bread, he asked curiously, “Why do you have food for demons?”
And it looked freshly baked.
Luke hesitated for a moment, then said tactfully, “In the southern principalities, some nobles enjoy raising demons, so the recipe for feeding demons with food is no secret.”
Luo Mi: “…I thought that people in the Light Realm regarded demons as a scourge.”
“That was true in the past, but now under the leadership of His Holiness the Pope and His Royal Highness the Son of God, we have defeated the Demon Realm several times.” Luke’s expression suddenly became proud, “Even the Light Realm barrier has been pushed into the Demon Realm several times – if things continue like this, it will be just a matter of time before we can completely conquer the Demon Realm and turn its land into farmland and pastures! By then, all the demons will become slaves of the Light Realm!”
Luo Mi, who was chewing bread, had no sense of belonging to the demons, so naturally he didn’t feel anything. He only had a new understanding of the setting of this world: he thought that the Demon Realm was powerful and the Light Realm was weak, but it turned out to be the other way around.
Luo Mi thought back to the original story and praised the system: “From this point of view, the Holy Son is quite powerful. He was able to organize the weak Demon Realm to counterattack against the Light Realm and almost succeeded.”
[After all, he is the ultimate boss of the original work, so he must be powerful to highlight the protagonist.]
Thinking of Anos, Luo Mi couldn’t help but ask Luke curiously: “What is His Royal Highness the Son of God doing now?”
Luke’s expression became alert again: “What do you want to do?”
Luo Mi was in a playful mood. He put down the bread and quickly made a confused expression: “From the first time I saw the Holy Son, I could not forget the face of His Highness.”
Luke stared at Luo Mi with an expression like an old father whose daughter was targeted by a bully.
Luo Mi continued to perform, “His Royal Highness the Holy Son is like my father!”
Luke: “…”
John couldn’t quite understand this demon, and asked in a daze, “Is His Royal Highness the Holy Son very old?”
Luke said with a dark face: “Your Highness the Holy Son has only come of age this year.”
Luo Mi recalled Anos’ handsome face that was somewhere between a boy and a young man and felt not surprised at all.
After realizing that Luo Mi was just joking, Luke answered Luo Mi’s previous question, although his face was tense: “His Royal Highness the Son of God is praying.”
Luo Mi looked at the sky outside the car window: “It’s almost noon, what is he praying for?”
“Your Highness is gathering the faith of the people around to strengthen the barrier.” Luke said unhappily, “Your Highness spends a lot of energy and the power of Holy Light praying every day just to prevent demons like you from escaping from the barrier.”
Luo Mi still remembered his own personality and emphasized: “I was raised by humans and have never been to the Demon Realm. Don’t forget that I am still your ‘Chosen One’.”
Luke snorted lightly: “Even if you deceived His Royal Highness the Son for a while, you will not be able to hide from His Holiness the Pope.”
Luo Mi blinked: “So, you think your Holy Son is easily deceived?”
Luke: “I didn’t say that!”
While the two were arguing, another knight came in from outside the carriage: “Luke, His Highness wants you to come.”
Luke immediately shut up, straightened his armor, looked at Luo Mi with a little pride, and prepared to leave.
Luo Mi complained to the system in his heart: “This knight is so childish.”
At this time, another knight said, “Your Highness asked you to bring the succubus with you.”
Luke showed a shocked expression and said reluctantly, “Okay.”
Luo Mi wiped his hands, jumped down from his seat, and said piously: “I just want to meet His Highness the Holy Son so that I can continue to deceive him.”
Luke: “…”
