The next day, Anos returned to his previous perfect state, holding the Bible and patiently explaining the doctrine to Luo Mi.
Luo Mi felt drowsy after listening to this, so he could only make the excuse that he wanted to pee and slip into another carriage.
As to whether or not to tell Anos about those little succubi, Luo Mi had a new idea: since his charm technique was already working, why not charm someone else to tell Anos about it?
Luo Mi ran to another carriage because he was itching to try out the skills that had just been unlocked.
However, when he really faced the knight, Luo Mi felt a little hesitant to get over the hurdle in his heart.
Although the system explained to him that the fundamental principle of succubus’s charm was psychological conquest and had nothing to do with love and desire, and that succubus usually led the result of charm to sexual intercourse, the more important reason for that was that this was related to whether the succubus could get enough food, but Luo Mi was still worried that he would not use it well and a bunch of knights of the Silver Knights would come to woo him.
He tried to find out: “Brother, are you married?”
The knight often reported to Anos and was very familiar with Luo Mi, so he answered without thinking too much: “No.”
Luo Mi was still worried: “Do you have a girlfriend? Do you have someone pursuing you? Do you have a crush on someone? Do you have a childhood sweetheart or someone who you are in love with? Are you going on a blind date?”
“No, none at all.” The knight looked at Luo Mi strangely, “Why are you asking these questions? Do you want to introduce them to me?”
Luo Mi laughed dryly: “No, no, I’m just curious. Senior clergy can’t get married, so what about you Knights?”
“Those above the level of branch leader are equivalent to senior clergy.” The knight replied, “If you are not interested in this, you can marry freely.”
Luo Mi complimented, “Brother, I can tell from the looks of it that you are a future leader.”
The knight raised his lips, but still said modestly: “How could that be? I just listened more to the teachings of His Majesty the Saint.”
Luo Mi thought that the knights around the Son of God were indeed the future backbone members of the Holy See, although the one in front of him was a little silly.
He suddenly asked the system with some anticipation: “If I succeed in charming him, and he later becomes a senior member of the Holy See, does that count as completing my mission?”
[Counted.]
Luo Mi finally felt the humanity of the system.
Staring at the knight, he tried to summon his own charm.
After a while, the knight touched his face and asked, “Is there anything dirty on my face?”
Luo Mi rubbed his eyes which were a little sore from staring: “No, I just think you are handsome.”
The knight shook his head: “How could that be? Compared to His Majesty the Saint, I am so ugly that I can only cover my face with a helmet.”
Luo Mi agreed: “Indeed.”
Knight:”……”
Luo Mi tried for a long time but failed to use the charm technique, so he questioned the system in his heart.
The system was also helpless:
[The host’s soul is not a succubus, so of course it won’t work. I suggest the host try on some small animals first.]
“Hmm? Animals are also OK?” Luo Mi understood and looked at the knight, “Brother, can we buy or hunt some small animals like rabbits or chickens around here?”
“There are quite a lot of wild animals.” The knight looked at Luo Mi, “But do you have the money to buy them?”
Luo Mi looked at the knight in disbelief: “You want my money?”
The knight looked at Luo Mi in the same strange way: “Why won’t I want your money?”
Luo Mi couldn’t believe that the Holy See would actually ask for money from an innocent and weak succubus like him. He looked at the knight eagerly and said, “Just give me any small animal, anything, for free – or can I buy it on credit?”
The knight thought for a moment and said, “Then I have to go and see if there is any unwanted prey among their hunting trophies. I can sell it to you on credit at a low price.”
“Thanks, brother.” Luo Mi patted the knight’s shoulder and emphasized, “Remember to stay alive!”
….
When Luo Mi happily returned to Anos’ carriage, he saw Anos sitting in the middle looking at him with a serious expression.
Luo Mi thought to himself: “Your Highness the Holy Son?”
Anos said slowly: “I heard from Reinhardt that you wanted to seduce him and use animals to curse him?”
Luo Mi: “…”
He quickly entered the performance state, using a tearful performance to explain his innocence, solemnly expressing that he had absolutely no intention of seducing the knight, and throwing out his sonorous and powerful reasons: “Compared with His Royal Highness the Saint, that Reinhardt is so ugly that he can only cover his face with a helmet. How could I be interested in him?”
Anos listened patiently and pointed out the wrong argument that “the members of the Silver Knights are all carefully selected with high looks and high skills, and they cannot be ugly.” After Luo Mi admitted his mistake, the two sides reached an agreement and ended the conversation successfully.
Luo Mi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Anos didn’t really suspect him of seducing the knight, but he secretly held a grudge against Reinhardt.
When he got off Anos’s carriage, he saw Reinhardt standing outside, looking at him with a smile.
Luo Mi felt blind for thinking this guy was stupid before, and glared at him and said, “How dare you show up!”
Reinhardt laughed and said, “Don’t blame me. I am your highness’s loyal knight. I will report any abnormality to your highness.”
He fished out a slender black cat from his back, “Here, the animal you asked for.”
Luo Mi took it with some surprise and looked at Reinhardt suspiciously.
“Although folklore has it that black cats are the pets of witches and demons, all members of the Church who have actually fought demons know that this is nonsense.” Reinhardt pulled the cat’s tail and dodged the black cat’s scratching. “But it’s silly, it suits you quite well.”
He waved his hand at Luo Mi with a smile, “I was going to ask you for money, but since I cheated you, I won’t ask for it. You can thank His Royal Highness the Saint Son!”
Luo Mi really wanted to throw the black cat back bravely, but when he met the kitten’s round black eyes and heard its “Meow” cry, he felt soft-hearted.
He picked up the black cat and looked at it, and after a while he said to himself: “How is it like me?”
….
In any case, with the black cat, Luo Mi now had someone on whom he could freely practice his charm.
Kittens were very wary of people, which made it easy to tell whether a charm technique had been successful.
When the black cat lay in Luo Mi’s arms and acted coquettishly, Luo Mi finally got some idea of the art of charm.
The succubus’s charm was actually a kind of psychological suggestion, which was to replace oneself with a certain emotional tendency of the target. The more abundant the target’s emotions and the stronger the desire, the easier it was to succeed. Because it was only the emotional tendency rather than the specific emotional object, it would not be affected by whether the other party had this object.
For example, in order to obtain food, a succubus would usually seduce humans to go in the direction of their desires. Whether or not the human had a wife or husband would not affect the success of the seduction. In fact, the better the relationship between the human and his partner, the easier it was to succeed.
In other words, it was very difficult to charm the members of the Holy See who advocated asceticism and abstinence – and this was not even taking into account the holy light protection that the members of the Holy See had.
Luo Mi held the little black cat and sighed to the system: “The task is really not that easy to complete.”
[After all, upgrading your physique is a very rare reward.]
As for the Seed of Charm, Luo Mi hadn’t figured out how to use it yet.
But being able to use the charm skill freely already satisfied Luo Mi. He was afraid that one day he would accidentally use the charm skill and be discovered by Anos, and then the little favorability he had gained would probably be lost.
After mastering his charm, the caravan arrived at the focus of this journey: the old holy city of Ionion.
Luo Mi had been told by Anos about the history of this large city called the Old Holy City, which was actually a military fortress.
It was said that in the First Age, gods and angels were still walking on earth, guiding lost people into the land of eternal life and happiness. At that time, there was no church, and people who worshipped gods spontaneously built a magnificent and huge city on the mountain for gods and angels to live in and gave this holy city a name that represents “eternity” – Ionion.
However, the people who lived happily under the protection of God began to degenerate and become corrupt, committing all kinds of crimes, and began to disrespect God. In anger and disappointment, God led the angels to leave the world, and the holy city of Ionion was subsequently completely destroyed by the invasion of the Demon Realm.
To this day, even though the Light Realm had repeatedly pushed its barrier into the Demon Realm and had taken back Ionion. However, in order to remind the world, the Church did not completely repair Ionion, but instead transformed it into a military fortress while maintaining its general appearance, to strengthen the Light Realm barrier and prepare for an attack on the Demon Realm.
Ionion was not suitable for living, so there were several other towns at the foot of Mount Ionion, and the Silver Knights’ caravan stopped here.
When approaching Ionion, Luo Mi noticed from the carriage window that there were more pedestrians outside, and most of them were walking without any means of transportation.
Some of these people had covered their faces with headscarves, while those who did not had pious expressions and would stop and kneel toward the front after walking a dozen steps.
Luo Mi watched them for a while and roughly guessed what they were doing: “Are they on a pilgrimage?”
Anos closed the Bible and said, “Yes. In the eyes of believers, the Old Holy City represents a period of history that is linked to God. It has a special meaning that cannot be replaced by the current Holy City of Bethlehem. Therefore, devout believers often choose to walk to Ionion for pilgrimage. Even those who are not so devout, even non-believers, will come to the Wall of Sighs to commemorate the homeland of the deceased.”
Luo Mi asked with great interest: “What is the Wall of Sighs?”
“After Ionion was invaded and recaptured by the Demon Realm, most of the buildings in the city were damaged, except for the western wall of the Second Temple, which was intact and was regarded as a blessing from God. Since then, many people have come to the Wall of Sighs to reminisce the past.” Anos’s blue eyes showed a trace of piety. “The magical thing is that believers who touch the Wall of Sighs will see the figures of the deceased on the wall. Some will even dream about the deceased that night and communicate with the deceased. Some people can even see their past life or future life on the wall, which attracts more people.”
So magical?
Luo Mi became curious about the wall and asked the system in his heart: “If I touch the Wall of Sighs, will it be my past life or the past life of this succubus?”
[What if the host is found to be abnormal by the Holy Son?]
“I’ll do it quietly so he won’t find out.”
While Luo Mi was talking nonsense with the system, Anos packed up the things in the carriage and said, “Let’s go.”
The two got off the carriage together, but before they could stand firmly, they heard a loud noise in the distance.
Luo Mi moved his ears and distinguished one of the sentences:
“It’s all because of you blood-sucking churches that we can’t even afford to eat!”
