After Luo Mi finished talking to Susan, he tiptoed back to his seat. As soon as he sat down, he heard Anos’ gentle voice: “Where did you go?”
Luo Mi shuddered and quickly put on an innocent smile: “Ah, because I have never seen people of the same race, so I went to talk to Susan out of curiosity.”
“Susan?” Anos’s blue eyes were like a calm ocean. “Have you exchanged names?”
Luo Mi always felt that Anos seemed to be a little oppressive, so he shrank his neck and said sincerely: “It was just a chat.”
Anos seemed to realize that he was asking too much. He poured Luo Mi a glass of wine, smiled gently, and said earnestly: “These demons are different from you. They have no yearning or respect for God. Instead, they are full of desires and evil thoughts. You must stay away from them and not be polluted by them.”
Luo Mi nodded obediently like a chick pecking at rice.
Seeing that Luo Mi was well-behaved, Anos’ expression relaxed, but then became a little heavy.
Luo Mi looked at his expression and asked speculatively, “Are you worried that the succubus have influenced the bishop?”
Anos nodded solemnly, his eyes gloomy.
Luo Mi asked tentatively: “What are you going to do?”
Anos said calmly: “After the banquet is over, let the knights capture these succubi, and then control the bishop and nobles to determine whether they have been enchanted.”
Luo Mi was in an inner struggle.
Susan must have seduced Bishop Mona, and once the Vatican finds out, she would be completely purified. If he didn’t want Anos to know that he was sent by the Black Wing Lord, then keeping silent or going along with the instigation could ensure Susan’s disappearance.
But from the conversation with Susan just now, Luo Mi could clearly know that the most powerful demon lord, the Black Wing Lord, was looking at him!
Without Susan, won’t there be a next Mary or Anne?
Rather than arousing the Demon Lord’s suspicion, it was better to keep Susan hanging like this!
Luo Mi coughed lightly and lowered his voice: “I don’t think this is a good idea.”
Anos looked at him: “Why?”
Luo Mi took a sip of the wine in the glass and said seriously, “Do you remember what we talked about last night?”
Anos nodded.
“Succubi have appeared in the towns of the empire. It is of course important to root out the termites within the Church, but isn’t it more important to determine where and how these succubi came from?”
Anos frowned and said, “The Holy See has a way to make them tell the truth.”
“What if they know but can’t say it, or even they themselves don’t know it? Or what if the people behind the scenes notice the movement of the Holy See and cut off the corresponding channels?” Luo Mi persuaded, “Compared to arresting people with great fanfare, secretly tracking, investigating, or even reverse bribery is more efficient, isn’t it?”
There was a hint of resistance on Anos’s face.
Luo Mi then said, “Let me give you an example. If Your Highness had purified me the moment he saw me, you wouldn’t have brought a demon to Pigli Town, and Bishop Mona wouldn’t have thought that Your Highness was someone who could be bribed and won over, exposing the existence of the succubus, right? If we only follow the strict rules and regulations, we may not be able to achieve the results we want.”
Anos fell silent.
After a while, he shook his head and said, “We can consider other ways to investigate the source of the demons, but Bishop Mona must be controlled. We cannot allow a bishop bewitched by the demon to continue to exercise jurisdiction at the foot of the former holy city.”
It would be good if Susan could be saved from the danger of being purified immediately.
Luo Mi was worrying about how to remind Anos to focus on investigating Earl Sheen, and was ready to ask Susan to sell Earl Sheen out.
….
While the two were talking, the baron came over again with a bottle of wine in his hand.
The baron tried to tighten his abdomen, stroked his neatly trimmed beard, and said with a chuckle, “Your Highness, am I satisfactory to you?”
Anos didn’t really want to pay attention to him, but his upbringing prevented him from ignoring others, so he had to stop communicating with Luo Mi and reply calmly and coldly: “It’s okay.”
The baron was not angry after hitting a snag, and personally poured a glass of wine for Anos: “I have long heard of the reputation of His Royal Highness the Holy Son, but it’s a pity that my grandfather’s fiefdom is only here, and I can’t go to the Holy City for pilgrimage…”
As he kept chattering, he slowly approached Anos.
Luo Mi bit into a slightly cold lamb chop, watching in confusion, and finally realized, and said in surprise, “Could this guy have a crush on Anos?”
No wonder he felt the Baron’s eyes were strange!
But it made sense if you think about it carefully. Anos was so handsome that it would be strange if he didn’t have any admirers.
It was just that a baron from a small border town dared to covet the Son of God at the core of the Holy See…
Luo Mi watched with mixed feelings as the Baron’s hand patted Anos’ shoulder.
——At this time, knives and forks had not yet become standard dining etiquette at banquets, and it was very common to take food with hands at the table.
So the baron’s fingers were stained with wine, as well as the fat from the roasted quail and lamb chops, leaving clear fingerprints on Anos’s clean priest’s robe.
Luo Mi carefully dragged his chair back, a little further away from them.
The usual blue in Anos’ eyes became much richer, and the expression on the corners of his lips slowly became more restrained.
He wiped his hands with a napkin, then stood up and put on white gloves emblazoned with the Vatican’s cross.
The Baron met Anos’ eyes and subconsciously took a step back.
The emblem on Anos’s gloves slowly lit up, and he uttered a few prayers.
In an instant, pure white holy light, with Anos as the center, gushed out towards the Baron, Bishop Mona and other nobles!
The faces of several people bathed in the holy light suddenly twisted, as if they were enduring some unspeakable pain.
Several succubi’s faces changed drastically and they screamed and dodged.
Soon, the holy light dissipated, and several people were still in shock. The wine glasses and food in their hands were scattered all over the floor, and their foreheads were covered with cold sweat.
Anos smiled in his typical way: “This is a new magic that the Divine Arts Research Institute has recently researched. It will strengthen the body according to the piety of the recipient. I see that your bodies are a little weak, so I specially help you strengthen your bodies. I wonder how you feel?”
The baron closest to Anos was lying on the ground, his limbs still twitching. He wanted to answer but couldn’t control the muscles of his face.
Only Bishop Mona barely held onto the table, his tone filled with fear: “Thank you very much, Your Highness the Holy Son…”
Anos smiled slightly, stood up and left.
Luo Mi gave Anos a thumbs up from behind, winked at Susan, and just as he was about to leave, he stuffed a few lamb chops into his mouth before catching up.
After Anos left the banquet hall, his expression immediately turned cold, and he gave a few instructions to the silver knight waiting at the door.
The knight responded, took out his cell phone and walked out while talking on the phone.
Anos’s gloomy expression continued until he saw Luo Mi’s mouth full. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his expression eased a lot: “Not full?”
Luo Mi swallowed the meat in his mouth hard and almost choked. He pressed his chest and shook his head: “No, I just rarely eat meat.”
Anos rubbed Luo Mi’s back and said, “The only food that can be absorbed by the devils can only be made into bread. For meat, you have to hunt animals in the devil’s domain.”
Luo Mi waved his hands repeatedly: “It’s okay, I’m just greedy, not hungry.”
Anos nodded and taught earnestly: “The desire for food is also greed. You must always remember to be moderate so that you can listen to God’s will quietly…”
The little chick Luo Mi pecked at the rice again.
Anos’s expression warmed up. He looked at Luo Mi and suddenly sighed softly: “Why can you, who was born a demon, yearn for light, while people bathed in holy light have fallen to this point?”
Luo Mi smiled sincerely: “Maybe it’s because they are not as pious as me.”
Anos nodded calmly and touched Luo Mi’s hair: “Keep your purity.”
