Anos’s carriage was no different from the one Luo Mi had slept in before. There was only a layer of soft cushion to lie on at night, and not even a pillow.
Luo Mi looked up at Anos who was making the bed.
At bedtime, Anos took off his priest robes, revealing his body in only off-white underwear.
Luo Mi had always thought that Anos, a civil servant who was only responsible for praying devoutly every day, should not exercise much. Even if he was not a fat man, he would at least be a thin dog – until Anos lifted the heavy wooden table with one hand and put it in the corner, and the muscles on his arms naturally bulged.
Looking closely, under the tight-fitting underwear, Anos had a very good figure, with clear outlines of his chest and abdominal muscles, and his long thighs looked equally strong.
Luo Mi was quite jealous – who wouldn’t want such a smooth and beautiful figure?
“Your Highness, do you usually do physical work?”
Anos looked at Luo Mi with some surprise, and it took him a while to understand what Luo Mi meant. He did not show any pride but seemed a little shy: “I told you before that I can’t perform complicated magic, so I didn’t learn magic from His Holiness the Pope but trained with the Knights Templar.”
Luo Mi pinched his little arm and asked the system sourly: “How long will it take me to train with the Knights to have this body shape?”
The system attacked him loudly:
[The physique of a succubus is designed for hunting food, so it is better to adopt a more flexible posture and not grow extra muscles.]
Luo Mi was not convinced: “If I have a good figure, I should be sexier, so why won’t it help with hunting?”
[Because succubi can use charm.]
Not long after Luo Mi came through, he was sealed by Anos. All the magic power in his body was sealed, and he had no idea how to use charm at all.
However, the system also told him that the succubus’s charm was innate. Even without magic power, it could unconsciously influence the people around it and make people around it subconsciously like it.
Luo Mi patted his forehead and said, “No wonder the aunts in Larry Town liked me so much. I thought I was just too cute.”
Fortunately, the charm after being sealed could only brought a little bit of subconscious favor, not more, otherwise Luo Mi would have to worry about problems.
Anos took out a pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time: “We should go to bed.”
Luo Mi asked curiously: “Is this also some Holy See technology that is charged with holy light?”
Anos shook his head: “This is a product of the empire. It does not require energy. It can run as long as it is wound up regularly.”
Luo Mi was a little surprised: “Mechanical watch?”
“That’s what the people in the Empire call it.” Anos put the pocket watch back in his arms. “There are many similar things in the Empire. Some of them are indeed very convenient and easier for ordinary believers to use.”
Luo Mi was quite interested in the Alpha Empire, but seeing that Anos had already laid down, he resisted the urge to speak.
He harassed the system: “What is the setting of the Alpha Empire? Why does it have mechanical technology?”
There was a “rustling” sound like flipping pages from the system, and then it replied:
[The Alpha Empire once unearthed the legacy of the previous era and developed a relatively good mechanical industrial civilization on this basis, which allowed it to maintain its advantage in the confrontation between the two empires.]
Luo Mi asked with great interest: “What stage has it reached? Are there any bionic robots?”
[They have not yet entered the stage of electrical civilization.]
Luo Mi was a little disappointed: “They have already released the mechanical watch, but they haven’t started researching electrical energy yet?”
[Everything related to electricity has been replaced by the Holy Light of the Church.]
Luo Mi understood immediately: “No wonder the secular faction of the Church is so deeply involved with the Alpha Empire.”
The Holy See, which only had energy, and the Empire, which only lacked energy, would naturally benefit from cooperation.
He was afraid the purpose of the struggle between theocracy and imperial power was to see who could control the direction of this ship.
Luo Mi fantasized about a rideable Gundam powered by holy light for a while, but soon became frustrated: “Alas, what a pity, the relationship between the Holy See and the Empire doesn’t seem to be so harmonious. I guess I won’t be able to develop such a good thing in my lifetime. System, do you have something like this that can be exchanged?”
[Yes, but do you have points?]
Luo Mi thought of his pitiful 6 points left and sighed deeply: “I’m poor.”
The system also felt sad.
“Is the only mission now to help the Church find the Chosen Ones?”
[Yes, the side quest depends on whether the host can meet the triggering conditions. By the way, isn’t the host tired yet?]
“I’m not sleepy.” It was not Luo Mi’s bedtime yet, so he could only continue chatting with the system, “What conditions can I trigger if I stay by the side of the Holy Son?”
[Then the host can follow the main storyline.]
Speaking of the main plot, Luo Mi sighed again: “At present, it seems that the Holy Son is not a hypocrite. It is a bit troublesome to tempt him to turn evil…”
At this moment, Luo Mi suddenly felt something was wrong, and there seemed to be a cold chill behind him.
He turned his head and looked at Anos who had already fallen asleep.
Anos has fair skin and a high nose bridge, and even when he was asleep he looked like a beautiful portrait.
But in Luo Mi’s eyes, it felt strange and eerie.
Just then, Anos’ eyelids moved and he seemed to have opened his eyes.
Luo Mi’s face was clearly reflected in the blood-red pupils.
When Luo Mi met those red eyes, he felt a cold and slippery sensation on his back, as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast hidden in the darkness. Every cell in his body was clamoring to “run away”, as if he would die without a burial place if he stayed any later.
However, in the blink of an eye, Anos closed his eyes again, and the strange sense of danger disappeared without a trace, as if it was just Luo Mi’s illusion.
Luo Mi touched his forehead and found that he was sweating coldly: “What was that just now?”
Before he could figure it out, he heard a knight’s voice outside the carriage:
“Your Highness, the blood moon is coming!”
Anos’s long eyelashes trembled slightly and he woke up from his sleep.
Luo Mi subconsciously took a step back, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Anos’ pupils were the same pure blue as before.
Anos propped up his upper body and rubbed his forehead slightly. After listening to the knight’s report, his expression became serious. He quickly put on his priest robe, reminded Luo Mi “Don’t leave the carriage”, and then hurriedly got off the carriage.
The moment the carriage door opened, the moonlight coming in from outside was no longer the clear mercury like before, but a strange and blurry crimson.
….
Luo Mi opened the curtains and looked outside the carriage.
A red moon hung in the night sky, dyeing the surrounding sky blood red.
What was even more terrifying was that there was a dark line in the middle of this blood moon, and if you looked closely it actually looked a bit like an eye that was tightly closed!
Luo Mi felt a chill in his back and asked the system: “What the hell is this?”
The system could be heard flipping pages again, and then replied:
[According to the setting, this world will occasionally have a blood moon phenomenon at night, and the power of the devil will increase significantly during the blood moon. The Church believes that the source of the blood moon is the wrath of God…]
Luo Mi was not very interested in the Vatican’s explanation. He was only concerned about the change in Anos just now: “What happened to Anos just now? Is Anos also a demon?”
That will be really funny, the Vatican’s angel on earth is actually a devil!
But Luo Mi recalled the inexhaustible power of holy light in Anos and shook his head again, “It doesn’t feel like it.”
[The Son of God does not have the horns that belong to demons on his forehead.]
“So Anos is related to the devil?” Luo Mi guessed in another direction, “For example, a second personality, or a natural devilish tendency? Is this the source of his evil transformation?”
[It is very likely.]
Luo Mi was a little unconvinced when he heard that the system had not given him a definite answer: “What use are you? You don’t know anything!”
The system was very aggrieved:
[At this point in time, the original work has not yet been started, and the settings are not detailed enough.]
“Hey, don’t cry, I was just saying something.” Luo Mi comforted the system and looked at the movements of the Silver Knights through the carriage window.
The knights formed a complex formation outside, holding their spears high in their hands and pointing them to the sky.
Their bodies gradually emitted a milky white light, which leaped out from the tips of their spears, and gathered in a certain direction.
Luo Mi guessed that Anos was there, and with the help of the Silver Knights, he provided energy to the light domain barrier to prevent the demons under the blood moon from invading the light domain.
Thinking of this, Luo Mi touched the horn on his forehead, which was as big as a baby’s finger, with some doubt: “Why don’t I feel the change in strength?”
[Did you forget that you have a collar around your neck?]
Luo Mi: “…Yes.”
Anos also strengthened the collar.
He subconsciously reached out and pulled the collar, and then heard a “click”.
The collar fell from his neck and fell into his hands.
Luo Mi: “…”
He touched his horn in a panic, “Is there anything wrong with me?”
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Luo Mi still didn’t feel what the so-called magic expansion was like.
The system reminded him coolly:
[How do you plan to explain your collar problem to the Holy Son later?]
“I don’t know how it fell off either.” Luo Mi complained as he put the collar back on his neck. “Is this how you put it on?”
He fumbled for a long time and heard a “click”, and the collar seemed to be put back on.
Luo Mi breathed a sigh of relief: “I think the Holy Son won’t suspect me now.”
He touched his neck and suddenly felt a little pathetic. “Am I already in the late stage of Stockholm syndrome? I’m not happy but nervous when my collar fell off!”
[Let me remind the host that although this collar has been put back on, its function has been damaged and it has become a pure decoration.]
Luo Mi was stunned.
At this time, the carriage door opened and Anos, looking a little tired, walked in.
Luo Mi stepped forward with a guilty conscience and said, “Your Highness, you have worked hard.”
Anos’s divine power was almost drained, and he just wanted to lie down and rest quickly, but when he and Luo Mi looked at each other, he was stunned.
The little devil in front of him leaned forward with a face that still had a bit of baby fat, tiny horns faintly visible on his forehead, and a long tail dangling behind him, making him inexplicably want to take a bite.
——Why didn’t he notice before that Lian was so cute?
