When Anos unfolded the test paper that Luo Mi had given him, surprise inevitably appeared on his usually gentle and pretty face.
He looked at it carefully for a long time before looking up: “Did you come up with this?”
Luo Mi raised his chin: “Of course… standing on the shoulders of the wisdom of our predecessors.”
He saw that Anos seemed fascinated by the paper, so he tiptoed to take a look and asked curiously, “Can His Royal Highness get full marks?”
This was the test paper that Luo Mi carefully prepared by integrating the Chinese language test in his memory with the Bible, Bible interpretation, Pope’s Gospel, etc. in this world, and even the system helped.
Anos hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s a bit difficult, but I will try my best.”
Do you really want to do it? Luo Mi encouraged: “Come on, Your Highness the Holy Son.”
He had only taken out the junior high school exam paper and had not yet taken out the high school exam paper and the national exam paper!
Anos finished the test paper carefully. Luo Mi took it and glanced at it. He then smacked his lips in surprise: “Your Highness the Holy Son has done really well.”
Almost full marks.
He even answered correctly a few trap questions that Luo Mi had specially set.
Even the system was a little unconvinced and said:
[The Holy Son is actually a top student.]
Luo Mi heard the system’s tone was a little strange, and couldn’t help but be curious: “Your score won’t be lower than the Holy Son, right?”
[…Human questions are simply not very compatible with the system.]
Luo Mi laughed at the system in his heart and wrote a big “full score” for Anos based on the friendship points.
Anos acted very natural about this result and only asked: “How many points did the knights get on this paper?”
Luo Mi said tactfully: “No one passed.”
Anos nodded thoughtfully, frowning, “It turns out that the knights still need to improve their study of the sacred text.”
Luo Mi mourned for the Silver Knights for three seconds in his heart, and then laughed with glee.
Anos put away the Chinese paper solemnly and asked casually, “Any news from the town recently?”
Luo Mi thought for a moment and said, “There is a lot of family news, but I know one piece of news that His Royal Highness the Saint should be concerned about – the Moon family has moved away.”
Anos was stunned for a moment: “Vivian Moon?”
Luo Mi nodded. “Their life in Larry Town was not good. After going through the witch trial, Old Moon wanted to move to another county with little Vivian. He negotiated with the caravan that regularly traveled to Larry Town and set off yesterday.”
“If only I had known this earlier.” Anos shook his head. “The Knights of the Vatican can help them settle down.”
Luo Mi remembered old Moon’s respectful attitude towards the Silver Knights and was kind enough not to remind Anos.
Of course, Luo Mi himself did not do nothing.
He quietly found little Vivian and told her a place in the forest where two gold coins were buried in the land.
For Moon and his daughter, two gold coins were a huge sum of money that they could not save in more than ten years. Even though they could not compare with wealthy families like the mayor’s, it was enough for them to gain a foothold in the new town.
Originally, Luo Mi wanted to “take” some from the mayor’s manor and give it to them, but considering that this era was not very safe, two gold coins with the seal of the Holy See were just right. Too many would easily cause trouble, so he did not do anything extra.
Instead, the system calmly pointed out one thing:
[Host, do you still remember that you stole clothes from the Moon family, and then tried to frame the Saint Son for theft to make him violate the doctrine?]
Now the two gold coins that Anos gave out had indeed reached the hands of old Moon, the owner of the clothes. Could this still be considered theft?
“That can’t be helped.” Luo Mi said stubbornly, “Besides, taking something without asking is stealing, and forcing someone to buy or sell something without Old Moon’s consent, the gods will also judge this as a violation, right?”
[…]
Luo Mi told Anos about the farewell to Vivian and her father and mentioned another thing: “Everyone in the town thinks that the mayor and his family are possessed by the devil, and they want to ask the priest to burn them to death.”
Anos was a little surprised: “Why?”
“It seems that our special effects that night were seen by quite a few people.” Luo Mi smiled proudly, “And I drew a lot of devilish expressions and emblems on their faces, which were also seen by others.”
There were also various testimonies provided by the unconscious maids – they were hypnotized by Anos’s magic and saw nothing, but some of them had nightmares during their sleep and took them seriously, and many of them were dissatisfied with the mayor’s oppression, so there were all kinds of excuses.
In order to promote the witch trials, the mayor encouraged mutual reporting and slander, forcing the members of the town to learn many similar methods, which were now used on him mercilessly.
Anos frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: “This atmosphere is not good.”
He took out a piece of paper and carefully wrote down the social problems of the town that had been destroyed by the mayor. He was going to give it to the Silver Knights who would be staying in the town and ask them to correct them.
….
After the aftermath of the witch trial in Larry Town was completed, Anos prepared to set off.
Luo Mi asked curiously, “Your Highness, are you going to return to the Holy City, or go find the Pietists, or deal with Count Sheen?”
“This trip is to inspect and repair the light domain barrier. Investigating the witch trial was another task. So next we have to follow the edge of the light domain barrier all the way to the old holy city of Ionion, and then return to the holy city to report on our work.” Anos said, “The matter of Count Sheen needs to be negotiated with the Empire. The Holy See cannot handle it beyond its authority and needs to put pressure on His Majesty the Emperor. As for the matter of the Pious Faction, I will report to His Holiness the Pope before going there.”
After saying this, Anos looked at Luo Mi, “Do you want to come with me?”
“Of course.” Luo Mi blinked without hesitation, “I came to this world for His Majesty the Holy Son!”
A gentle smile appeared in Anos’s blue eyes.
But the Holy City… Luo Mi touched his chin, “I won’t be put on the stake immediately after I go to the Holy City, right?”
Anos shook his head: “Leave it to me.”
“Your Highness the Holy Son is willing to help me cover it up?”
“I will report the truth to His Holiness the Pope.” Anos said, “Your Holiness the Pope will understand.”
Was this true…Luo Mi was full of distrust towards this kind of secular religious authority leader.
There may be many devout believers in the Vatican, but most of those who could reach the pinnacle of power were generally not that devout.
Luo Mi could already foresee that even if the Pope did not do anything to him for the sake of the Son of God, the people in the Holy See would probably not be kind to him, just like the Silver Knights at the beginning.
Thinking of this, Luo Mi looked at Anos with tears in his eyes, and said, “Your Highness, people always judge others by their appearance, which is not in line with God’s teachings… If everyone in the world is hostile to me, I hope you can see the purity of my soul!”
Anos was indeed somewhat moved, and his expression became more compassionate: “As long as you obey God’s teachings, I will always stand with you.”
Luo Mi patted his chest: “Then I feel relieved.”
With these words, it meant that Anos at least treated him as his own.
Thinking about how he had gone from being a wary little devil to being treated as one of His Majesty the Holy Son’s persons, Luo Mi thankfully said to the system, “It looks like I’m not far from completing my mission.”
[You should first worry about whether you will be kicked into the convoy by the Son of God again on the way back to the Holy City.]
That made sense.
Luo Mi straightened his face and said, “Your Highness, can I sleep in the same carriage with you when we go back?”
Anos was a little surprised: “Why?”
Luo Mi forced out an aggrieved expression: “The knights all look ferocious, I’m scared.”
This was the truth – ever since Anos added the study and assessment of sacred texts to the knights’ tasks, the knights had been looking at Luo Mi with a hint of suspicion in their eyes.
Having known Luo Mi for such a long time, Anos had never seen this little devil show fear.
But Anos thought about it carefully and nodded: “Okay.”
Luo Mi excitedly made a “yeah” gesture.
“But before that, let’s clarify some things.” Anos’ expression became more serious. “I have consulted with the knights these days and learned some of the physiological characteristics of succubi. I apologize to you here.”
Luo Mi showed a confused expression: “Apologize for what?”
“Before, I thought your desire to have sex with others to obtain food was more like the human desire to taste delicious food, which could be suppressed.” Anos said gently and apologetically, “But the knight told me that this is actually the instinct of the succubus, and it’s no wonder that you want to have sex with me.”
Luo Mi looked at Anos in shock: Doesn’t this guy blush when he says these things?
And when did he want to have sex with Anos?
He was very afraid that Anos would say something like “I am willing to sacrifice myself, you can always come to me in the future” in a righteous manner.
Fortunately, Anos did not have such an intention, but continued gently: “After returning to the Holy City, I will find a way to help you solve this problem. Before that, I can only ask you to be patient for a while.”
Luo Mi had been eating food specially made for demons these days, and only occasionally would he have some feelings that he couldn’t tell whether they were appetite or pleasure, but they would disappear after being stimulated by the collar around his neck.
But since Anos said so, Luo Mi immediately put on a well-behaved expression: “Okay.”
Although the words expressed agreement, his expression was mixed with forbearance and grievance, as if he had made a huge sacrifice for Anos.
Anos’s expression softened. After thinking for a moment, he suggested, “If you feel hungry, I will explain the Bible to you and let God’s teachings cleanse your soul.”
Luo Mi was startled and quickly declined: “Thank you, Your Highness, I can bear it.”
….
On the day when the Vatican’s convoy left, many civilians in Larry Town gathered at the only intersection in the town to watch.
After the mayor was taken away by the Vatican and his family was detained, the only manor in Larry Town became empty.
If the Vatican had not sent people to protect it for the sake of the evidence, the civilians who were full of resentment towards the mayor might have burned the place down.
The banquet hall, which had hosted many dinners, was now in a state of disarray, with the walls covered with traces of high-temperature melting, as if they had been licked by the flames of the devil and twisted into hideous human faces.
A white hand reached out, picked up the cross discarded on the dining table, held it in front of him to look at it for a moment, and then sniffed it gently.
The tablecloth that his hands touched turned black silently.
After a moment, the man opened his eyes. A hint of amusement and inquiry flashed in his blood-red eyes. He then chuckled and said, “You actually went to the Vatican?”
He casually threw the cross back onto the table, and then a pair of pitch-black wings enveloped him, and he disappeared immediately.
The four-sided Pietists’ cross that Luo Mi had used to scare the mayor slowly melted into a pool of molten iron and seeped into the solid wooden dining table.
Then the entire dining table suddenly caught fire, with black smoke and flames covering everything.
