“Because the food we taste in the restaurant is more delicately prepared, you are worried that we will indulge in our appetite, so you use this kind of food to remind us to be moderate, right?” Anos was obviously very happy. Luo Mi’s figure was reflected in his blue eyes, surrounded by a gentle smile.
Luo Mi was speechless for a long time, and finally said dejectedly: “I guess so.”
His original intention was to make Anos further indulge in delicious food!
Anos took another bite and said with a smile, “It is admirable that you have such awareness, but except for some real ascetics, most people only need to fast and purify themselves on Sundays and important festivals. As long as you don’t waste food on other days, you have satisfied God’s requirements. You don’t have to do this in the future.”
Luo Mi was soothed by Anos’ gentle words. After waiting for a while, he figured out something was wrong: Was Anos implying that he was wasting food?
Even the system was adding insult to injury in his heart:
[According to the setting of this world, the Son of God is the second most important person in the Church. Even if we don’t consider the social interaction with the nobles, the chefs in the Church are very good at cooking. Even simple toasts are carefully controlled with the proportions and the heat. What good food has he not eaten?]
Luo Mi curled his lips and pretended not to hear.
But Anos still finished all the food, including those that were already mushy, but his eyebrows trembled slightly while eating, highlighting the special taste of these foods.
After the meal, when the servants came to clear away the dishes, Luo Mi asked Anos about his experience at Florai Manor.
Anos roughly told the story of Archbishop Ellis awakening part of his vampire blood and showed Luo Mi the confiscated pistol.
Luo Mi touched the pistol curiously, then looked at Anos: “What are you going to do next?”
“There are several strange things about this matter.” Anos pondered for a moment and listed them clearly. “The first is what I just said. Vampire blood will not be awakened by any resentful spirits or undead spirits. It is more likely to be awakened on a blood moon, or at least a full moon – but I have already asked clearly, Sir Ellis, it was neither a full moon nor a blood moon at that time.”
Luo Mi touched his chin and said, “Do you suspect that Archbishop Ellis was deliberately induced to have demon blood?”
Anos nodded and continued, “Second, there is a demon of high enough status near Lord Ellis who can forcibly dominate him who has awakened his demon bloodline. According to the research records of the Demon Research Institute, hybrids have a strong resistance to the domination of high-level demons, with only one exception: the direct superior species of their demon bloodline.”
Seeing the confusion on Luo Mi’s face, Anos further explained, “In a popular sense, it refers to the ancestors of the demons and their direct descendants.”
Luo Mi suddenly realized, and then remembered that when he first came to this world, he was controlled by a high-level demon to attack Anos, and suddenly he felt a little uneasy: “Could it be the one summoned by the summoning circle at that time?”
Anos shook his head: “That demon should have been purified by me. And the enchantment that the summoning circle pointed to was in the eastern part of the Demon Realm, which was the range of Lord Black Wing, not Lord Rose.”
“Why do you want the Rose Lord?”
“The Rose Lord is the most powerful vampire in the Demon Realm, and most vampires gather in his territory.” Anos said, “Vampires are a somewhat reserved and arrogant demon race. They don’t get along well with other demons, and rarely appear in the territories of other demon lords.”
As Luo Mi heaved a sigh of relief, he thought of the roses in Losa City and couldn’t help muttering, “From the name, vampires should like roses very much. No wonder they came to Losa City.”
Anos was stunned, thought for a moment, but could not come up with anything, so he continued: “The last abnormality is Count Sheen. Count Sheen has mastered the secrets of Lord Ellis, but on the surface he helped Lord Ellis build the Florai Manor to hide it, but in fact he secretly ruined the reputation of the Church in the territory.”
Luo Mi blinked: “Isn’t this normal?”
“If his goal is to undermine the faith of the Holy See, then the most effective way is to directly reveal the secret of Archbishop Ellis on an important occasion.” Anos said in a deep voice, “A person with demon blood is appointed as the archbishop, especially when His Excellency Ellis has radical anti-demon ideas. This will be the heaviest blow to the Holy See.”
But Count Sheen chose to cut the flesh with a soft knife. Although it was painful, the effect was not very good. Like now, the Holy See sent the Son of God and the Silver Knights to investigate. Even if Count Sheen now disclosed the secret of Archbishop Ellis, with Anos’s presence, the result would not be too bad.
Luo Mi recalled Daisy Durr’s comment on Count Sheen: “Perhaps he wants more than just a blow to the faith of the Church.”
Anos nodded: “I think so too. This makes me more vigilant. I can only wait and see what Reinhardt and the others can find out.”
“How about arresting him and questioning him directly?” Luo Mi rolled up his sleeves. “To be honest, I think that Archbishop Ellis’s sudden awakening of his demon bloodline is most likely related to Count Sheen.”
“The Church and the Empire have an agreement that they cannot circumvent the Empire’s laws to arrest nobles without evidence.” Anos rejected the proposal, “Besides, he is now acting like a devout believer who is impeccable.”
Luo Mi rolled his eyes and said, “I have a way, but it requires you to sacrifice a little bit.”
Anos was startled: “What method?”
“If we persuade the people around Count Sheen to rebel, can’t we dig out his secrets?” Luo Mi rubbed his hands and deliberately said in a very upright tone, “Mrs. Durr’s attitude is ambiguous, I think it’s a good entry point. She obviously has admiration for you, you just need to cooperate a little…”
Daisy Durr was worthy of being trained by Susan. She also asked Luo Mi if she could help her taste the flavor of the Son of God – and she said this with a serious look on her face, which made Luo Mi even feel that they were not succubi, but monsters staring at Tang Monk’s flesh.
This time, Anos was silent for a longer time before he rubbed Luo Mi’s head: “You are too naive. She is obviously more interested in you.”
This was not the first time that Luo Mi had heard Anos’s evaluation of her. So, he kept his face straight and did not blush. Instead he corrected him, “What is there about me that would interest her? If you don’t believe me, you can get in touch with her again.”
Anos thought calmly for a moment, raised his head and looked at Luo Mi, and asked slowly: “Have you met her privately?”
Luo Mi’s expression froze, and he subconsciously wanted to lie, but then he remembered that Anos could see it, so he had to bite the bullet and admit, “We just met and talked.”
Anos sighed deeply as expected: “You… are so easily fooled. I don’t know whether I should be happy or relieved for you.”
Luo Mi’s mouth twitched.
No one knew what had happened that left him with the impression of a pure little white flower in Anos’ heart.
“It will be dangerous to investigate Count Sheen’s affairs, so don’t interfere.” Anos touched his head and suddenly remembered something. He put the silver bullet pistol in Luo Mi’s hand and said, “Take this for self-defense. I’m worried that the high-ranking vampire hiding in the dark will cause trouble for you.”
