Luo Mi, who was just an ordinary college student before traveling through time, had never touched a gun before. He took it with some excitement and touched it left and right.
This pistol was silvery white and heavy, and the butt was carved from wood, very finely crafted, and also had a rose-like emblem carved on it. Luo Mi found the magazine based on his years of experience of surfing the Internet, and when he opened it, he found several pure silver bullets inside.
“Sir Ellis originally intended to use this pistol just in case.” Anos tapped the bullets with his fair fingers. “These silver bullets are engraved with divine magic arrays. They are very harmful to vampires, but they are also a threat to ordinary demons. You have to be careful.”
Luo Mi licked his lower lip, and finally couldn’t resist the temptation of the gun: “Thank you, Your Highness.”
Anos rubbed his head.
Luo Mi asked again: “What is the current situation of Archbishop Ellis? How will the Holy See deal with him?”
When this was mentioned, Anos’ expression became more serious. “The Church will never allow someone with demon blood to assume the position of bishop. Moreover, vampires are different from other demons. They have the blood-sucking impulse rooted in their blood. He would be taken back to the Church’s Demon Research Institute for confirmation and investigation.”
The words “human experiment” flashed through Luo Mi’s mind, and he said euphemistically: “This should not be a good ending for him.”
Anos nodded silently.
Luo Mi looked at Anos’s expression, thought for a moment, and suggested, “Can you postpone reporting this to the Holy See?”
Anos was stunned: “Of course I can, but why? I don’t have the ability to suppress the demon bloodline. Sir Ellis will only suffer now.”
As an archbishop, he often appeared in the cathedral, praying for nobles and commoners, and using divine arts. Although his divine power had not degraded too much, the conflict between the divine power and the demon blood in the same body caused him to suffer from frequent pain, and once he used divine arts, the pain would be exacerbated.
It was for this reason that Reed Cathedral removed part of its divine magic array, otherwise Archbishop Ellis would not even be able to walk inside the cathedral.
“The timing of Archbishop Ellis’s awakening of his demon bloodline is very strange, and Count Sheen ‘just happened’ to know about it, which is very strange. Based on the principle of ‘we should not do what the enemy wants us to do’, we should temporarily delay sending Archbishop Ellis to the Holy City.” Luo Mi put down his pistol and continued with his tail shaking, “Of course, we must express the opposite to Count Sheen openly to spy on his thoughts.”
Arnos thought about it seriously, his eyes becoming complicated: “What you said is almost the same as what Sir Ellis said.”
Luo Mi was stunned for a moment, then quickly tucked his tail between his legs and said modestly, “Well, I was just saying it casually.”
Anos said, “It’s okay not to report for the time being, but in a few days it will be the Rose Festival, a festival that Losa City attaches great importance to. According to convention, the archbishop must personally preside over all ceremonies and masses, and tomorrow is the full moon day.”
Luo Mi blinked: “His Royal Highness the Son of God has come to Losa City. Isn’t it reasonable for the Archbishop to let His Royal Highness the Son of God preside over the ceremony?”
Anos frowned slightly. He didn’t mind presiding over the ceremony, but he was worried about another thing: “If I preside over the ceremony, who will investigate Count Sheen?”
Luo Mi straightened his chest: “I’m still here!”
Anos looked at him hesitantly.
“Besides, all the preparations before the ceremony require dealing with Count Sheen, right? This is a good opportunity to get closer and get information.” Luo Mi took the opportunity to do some private work. “That’s why you have to follow the local customs when communicating with Count Sheen. You can’t do it like you did in Pigli Town…”
Anos was silent for a moment, then nodded: “Okay.”
Then he looked at Luo Mi and exclaimed sincerely, “Archbishop Ellis should be ashamed.”
Luo Mi didn’t understand: “Huh?”
“He discriminated against your race, but you helped him without any grudges. Your virtue is higher than many people.” There was a faint light in Anos’s blue eyes. “God appreciates virtue, and you proved that my idea is right – even the races in the Demon Realm are God’s creations, and they have the right to believe and repent.”
Luo Mi smiled guiltily: “Hehehe…it’s all because of God’s guidance.”
….
There was little resistance to Anos taking over Reed Cathedral, and they quickly began preparing for the Rose Festival ceremony as planned.
The Rose Festival had been held in Losa City for many years. The priests and nuns in the church were familiar with it. Anos focused more on communicating with Count Sheen.
Luo Mi would occasionally stay with them, fully expecting Count Sheen to bring out delicacies, fine wines and beautiful women to corrupt the Holy Son of the Vatican. As a result, Count Sheen behaved very piously and nobly. Although the quality of the food and wine was very high, it was completely in line with the dining standards of the Vatican, and he never tried to force any beauties on Anos.
Seeing this, Luo Mi was anxious, and even secretly found Daisy Durr, hoping that Daisy could remind Count Sheen.
Daisy quickly responded: “Balk Sheen hinted to me that the arrival of the Son of God was not what he expected, so we just need to send him away without causing any trouble.”
This made Luo Mi a little surprised.
He quickly came up with an idea: “Did Count Sheen have any dissatisfaction with Archbishop Ellis in the past?”
Daisy chuckled. “It’s more than just dissatisfaction. Before the Archbishop’s accident, almost all the nobles in Reed County obeyed the Archbishop’s orders. Lord Balk Sheen existed in name only and was even forced to kneel down and accept the Archbishop’s baptism. You know, the Sheen family followed the advice of Duke Krenzo Sheen and refused to believe in the Holy See. Balk was the only exception, and the Duke wrote a letter to scold him.”
Luo Mi once again lamented the strength of Archbishop Ellis’s tactics and attitude: “So, it is more likely that Count Sheen is taking revenge on Archbishop Ellis out of personal grudges rather than public hatred?”
Daisy wore a black veil on her head, and was dressed like a widow, so with a hint of doubt in her eyes, she asked: “But in the past two years, not only did Balk not retaliate against Ellis, but he helped him a lot. Otherwise, the fact that Ellis had demon blood would have been exposed long ago.”
Luo Mi touched his chin and said, “You don’t understand this, right? The greatest revenge is to destroy what he cherishes most.”
What does Archbishop Ellis hold most dear?
Although Luo Mi had never seen this radical anti-demon bishop in person, judging from the way he controlled the entire Reed County with an iron fist and developed many industries of the Holy See into a thriving state, it was obvious that he was a man with a strong sense of career, a strong personality, and an extreme hatred of demons.
According to Anos, Archbishop Ellis was also a devout believer who spared no effort in promoting the glory of God.
Now, the civilians in Reed County were arousing their doubts and fears about the Church, and the Church’s industries were quietly being erased of the Church’s presence. Archbishop Ellis himself had awakened the demon bloodline he hated the most, and had been forced to give up some of his power and rest regularly…
Luo Mi felt that Archbishop Ellis’s inner pain was probably worse than his physical pain, otherwise he would not have gone against God’s will and prepared a pistol for suicide.
After thinking about this clearly, Luo Mi felt that he had a clue about Balk Sheen’s purpose.
Daisy’s long eyebrows moved slightly: “Master Ryan, what are you thinking about?”
“Ah, nothing.” Luo Mi came back to his senses and said “tsk tsk” twice, “I just feel a little sad that some people treat life as a joke which leads to the breakup of many innocent families, just to avenge their own personal grudges.”
Daisy sipped the rose wine gracefully and said with a smile, “This is the bad nature of human beings. We, the higher races, need to manage it. It is impossible for God to guide human beings to be good.”
Luo Mi gave her a strange look: “It’s only been a short time since you awakened your bloodline, but you have such a high sense of identification with the demon race.”
He again suspected that Susan had bypassed racial restrictions to charm Daisy.
Daisy slowly picked up a piece of flower cake and said, “The Durr family was once glorious, but after it declined, anyone could come and step on it. When I sold my dignity and tried to mediate between the nobles to seek opportunities to expand the family, I also saw a lot of filth among the nobles… It’s the same with Hal. The noble ladies with bright clothes are not much cleaner than their husbands.”
She casually threw away the wax paper on the flower cake and smiled, “I admit that there are many truly noble people, but most people are not depraved simply because they don’t have the opportunity to be depraved. In comparison, whether it’s you or Lady Susan, I feel that the Demon Realm is freer and more open, and more suitable for managing hypocritical humans.”
Luo Mi twitched the corner of his mouth, adhering to the non-interference principle of “respecting blessings” and not debating with Daisy.
But Daisy’s words gave him some ideas: Most people are not depraved enough because they don’t have the opportunity to degenerate.
How could he create an opportunity for Anos to fall? He might not be able to count on Count Sheen, who was now acting as a devout believer.
What Anos was most concerned about now was definitely how to resolve the issue between Count Sheen and Archbishop Ellis… Luo Mi touched his chin and gradually came up with a new idea.
….
Luo Mi did not tell Anos the news from Daisy immediately but reminded Anos: “In addition to Count Sheen, there is another high-level vampire who needs attention.”
Anos nodded: “I know, I have asked Reinhardt to investigate secretly. Vampires have an irresistible urge to suck blood, so it should be easier to investigate.”
“Instead of passively taking a beating, it’s better to take the initiative.” Luo Mi said, “We might as well find a way to lure that vampire out. As long as we catch him, we can immediately learn the secret of Count Sheen.”
Anos was stunned: “Do you think Count Sheen is related to vampires?”
Luo Mi nodded and said in his heart: I even suspect that the vampire is a spy sent from the Demon Realm just like Susan…
“Except for their slightly whiter skin color, vampires look almost the same as ordinary humans.” Anos frowned, “It’s hard to recognize them from the outside.”
Luo Mi blinked: “But vampires are thirsty for blood, and they thirst for fresh, high-quality blood.”
“Who?”
Luo Mi stood on tiptoe and tapped Anos’ neck.
Anos touched the place where Luo Mi had touched him, and thought for a moment, his expression hesitant: “It’s not that I don’t want to, but my blood is full of sacred power. If a vampire absorbs it, it would probably be equivalent to suicide.”
