Luo Mi froze and turned to look at Anos.
A faint light lit up at the head of Anos’ bed, illuminating Anos’ handsome face with a bit of warmth.
The young Holy Son placed the lit lamp on the bedside table and stared at Luo Mi with his blue eyes.
Luo Mi blinked and said sincerely: “I went to meet Susan.”
Anos raised his eyebrows slightly: “Why?”
With the experience from last time, Luo Mi thought about what to do if he was discovered by Anos again on the way back.
Lying to Anos could easily destroy the current relationship between him and Anos, so Luo Mi made up his mind: tell the truth, but not the whole truth!
“Susan was afraid of the Church and planned to escape. She came to me before she left.” Luo Mi slowly spoke the lines that had been brewing in his mind for a long time. “I was worried that she would hurt innocent civilians after escaping, so I persuaded her and gave her some advice.”
Anos was silent for a moment: “What happened next?”
“Then she left.” Luo Mi looked at Anos sincerely, “I firmly told Susan that I would always stay with His Royal Highness the Son of God and would never go to the Demon Realm or anywhere else.”
A hint of smile appeared in Anos’ eyes: “You did well. But next time, tell me directly. The demons who grew up in the Demon Realm are treacherous and insidious. Even if they speak to you sincerely on the surface, you don’t know how many tricks they hide in their hearts. You are too naive and easy to be deceived.”
Luo Mi: “…”
Luo Mi: “Yes, Your Highness.”
Anos shook his head: “I’ve told you several times, don’t call me that.”
Luo Mi smiled shyly: “You are so imposing, I got used to it for a while.”
At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that I have gotten through this safely.
Then he heard Anos say, “You spoke so fluently, had you thought about it long ago?”
Luo Mi was startled, raised his head, and saw the faint smile in Anos’s blue eyes, so he smiled foolishly: “I’m afraid you will misunderstand.”
Anos smiled and shook his head: “I know, you actually have more love for those succubi because they are of the same race as you… But you should also be vigilant, demons are creatures without love for their own race. When the Church was fighting in the Demon Realm, it saw too many selfish demons attacking each other and fighting among themselves.”
He looked at the little devil in front of him, who looked like an underage devil, with a slightly loving expression, and sighed, “Just talking about Susan, her heart is filled with greenness, which is completely different from you.”
Luo Mi was stunned: “What color?”
Anos tapped his eye sockets: “My ‘Eye of Confession’ can detect whether someone is lying, much better than ordinary priests. It can also see the color of the other person’s heart. After God created the world, the original seven deadly sins each have their own representative colors, which exist in everyone’s heart and can be seen by me.”
Luo Mi opened his eyes wide in shock: He didn’t know there was such a setting!
He looked at Anos hesitantly: “What color am I?”
Anos glanced at him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: “Although there are some colors of original sin, most of it is pure white representing light.”
Luo Mi let out a sigh again: Fortunately, I am pure!
Anos reached out and dimmed the light: “Go to sleep.”
Luo Mi nodded obediently and climbed onto the bed.
After the lights went out, Anos’ voice rang out again in the quiet night: “Next time you see that Susan, remember not to contact her and bring her to me immediately.”
This was the second time Anos emphasized this, and Luo Mi couldn’t help but wonder: “Is she dangerous?”
“I used magic to track her, but after she left, the magic was suddenly interrupted.” Anos said in a serious tone, “This means that there is a great demon behind her, who may covet you.”
Luo Mi didn’t expect Anos to follow Susan. He felt a little relieved for surviving the disaster, and he reminded himself: Don’t underestimate the angels on earth in the Church! Even if Anos himself is not very good at magic, his equipment and wisdom are not comparable to ordinary people!
….
The Silver Knights placed Bishop Mona under house arrest and found many things in his home that violated doctrine.
Extravagant wealth, beautiful women, and even a few illegitimate children.
Bishops were among the clergy and were “not allowed to marry” in the Vatican, but Father Mona even had illegitimate children, which was enough to send him to the Inquisition.
But the most serious thing was not these, but the letters he had exchanged with Count Sheen, the lord of Reed County.
In the letter, Bishop Mona revealed a lot of internal information of the Vatican to Count Sheen. Judging from the content, even the taxation matters would be reported to Count Sheen!
Anos put down the letters, his expression so calm that it was breathtaking: “I’m afraid he doesn’t even care so much about his superior archbishop.”
Luo Mi stood aside with a good show in his arms, tiptoed to take a look, and saw the lip print on the letter, and said to the system in his heart: “Susan and Bishop Mona are playing a big game.”
[Succubus basic operation.]
The knight who delivered the letter was none other than Reinhardt: “Your Highness, Baron Hutu protested that the Holy See had no right to put them under house arrest, and he hopes to see Your Highness.”
“No.” Anos said coldly, “Have you checked whether they have been bewitched by the succubus?”
Reinhardt said carefully: “I checked it. There are slight traces of charm, but it only exists for increasing pleasure and will not affect normal rational judgment.”
Anos raised the corner of his lips: “Bishop Mona seems to have been implanted with the seed of charm, right?”
When Luo Mi heard the key words, he felt itchy in his heart: “How come Susan knows this? Isn’t it said that ordinary low-level succubi can’t do this?”
[This shows that the Holy Son is right. That succubus is indeed not a simple person.]
Luo Mi didn’t feel anything, but just regretted: “I should have asked her for advice.”
[It’s not too late now. The host can propose to the Holy Son that you try to remove the Charm Seed from Bishop Mona’s spirit. According to the setting, only the succubus can remove the Charm Seed without injury. Even the divine arts of the Church can turn Bishop Mona into an idiot.]
Luo Mi thought about it and submitted an application to Anos as the system said.
As expected, Anos did not refuse immediately. Instead, he looked at him solemnly: “Other succubus’s enchantment seeds may harm you. Are you sure?”
Luo Mi clenched his fist and took the opportunity to hint at his innocence: “I haven’t tried it yet, but Bishop Mona’s confession is of great significance to the Holy See. I will be careful.”
Anos stared at him, made a standard cross in front of him, and said solemnly: “God will protect you.”
He then waved to Luo Mi, “Sure enough, I should take off your magic-binding ring.”
Luo Mi was about to go over when he suddenly remembered that the magic-suppressing ring on his neck had been broken for a long time!
If Anos finds out… He quickly stopped and said, “I’ll ask Reinhardt to take it down for me when I go find Bishop Mona later.”
Anos didn’t care: “Okay. Remember to put it on later to avoid misunderstandings with your natural charm.”
Luo Mi exhaled.
As for the rest, Anos quickly made a decision.
The jurisdiction of Bishop Monna was taken back and he was escorted to the Inquisition by the Silver Knights; the rest of the nobles were left alone after the influence of the succubus was cleared.
Of course, according to Anos’s original intention, he couldn’t let them go, but Luo Mi’s words of persuasion had worked. He didn’t target the nobles, but secretly sent people to track and investigate where these nobles got their succubi from.
After finishing all this, Anos picked up the letters again, his expression solemn: “Count Balk Sheen…”
Luo Mi asked: “What is the identity of this count?”
Anos shook his head and looked at Reinhardt.
Reinhardt said: “Count Balk Sheen is the half-brother of Grand Duke Krenzo Sheen of the Empire. Grand Duke Krenzo Sheen is the only duke in the empire who does not believe in God. He has expressed his dissatisfaction with the Church in public many times, which even troubles His Majesty the Emperor.”
Anos frowned: “A non-believer duke? How come I don’t know?”
Reinhardt said cryptically, “Perhaps it is because His Holiness the Pope does not want these mundane affairs to affect Your Highness.”
Anos shook his head, obviously disagreeing.
He looked at the faxed letters – there were only a few words on the letters, and although the content revealed the secrets of the Holy See, there were neither noble emblems nor human handwriting. Even if he took them to Count Sheen, he would insist that they were forgeries.
Anos pursed his lips and said, “The Vatican’s research institute has developed these technologies that are convenient for spreading the glory of God, but they are being used to privately transfer them to the nobles.”
Luo Mi had discovered that many technological products had appeared in this era ahead of time, but the energy source was all holy light instead of electricity, which meant that the Holy See was the real technological core.
However, it was unrealistic for a huge institution like the Vatican to use all these technological products for its own benefit.
Reinhardt asked: “Your Highness, what should we do now?”
“We should now find more evidence that Count Sheen is endangering the Holy See…” Anos held the cross and fell into deep thought.
Luo Mi thought about it and suggested in a low voice: “Why don’t we go directly to Count Sheen?”
Anos and Reinhardt looked at him together.
Luo Mi cleared his throat. “Look, Count Sheen sent Susan to Bishop Mona, and before that he also held a witch trial in Larry Town… Since he has done so many things, Count Sheen must have a lot of evidence, and there may even be more in his own territory. If we investigate in person, we will definitely gain something.”
Anos pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: “That makes sense.”
He looked at Reinhardt and said, “Change the destination of the trip to Losa City.”
Reinhardt said helplessly: “Yes, Your Highness.”
