Luo Mi immediately looked at Reinhardt.
Reinhardt indeed looked away, pretending to be wary of the defenseless vampire.
Luo Mi decided to interrogate Reinhardt when he got back.
Anos told Luo Mi about Count Sheen’s reaction, and finally asked, “Did you find out anything?”
Luo Mi was a little confused by Count Sheen’s reaction at first, and then answered Anos’ question: “I asked him if he could restore the archbishop who had awakened his bloodline back to his original state… He said that the awakened bloodline cannot be unawakened.”
Although he had expected it, Anos still sighed slightly and felt a little sorry for Ellis Podovar.
Regardless of the outcome of this incident, whether good or bad, Ellis would not be able to continue to serve as the archbishop of a diocese, and he would never be able to hold an important position in the Vatican in the future.
Seeing that Luo Mi seemed to be very sorry, Anos comforted him and said, “The Demon Research Institute of the Holy See has been conducting various researches, and perhaps they can find a way to suppress the vampire bloodline of Lord Ellis.”
Luo Mi has a bad impression of the Vatican’s research: “So we can only suppress it?”
“At least it can reduce his current pain.” Anos made a cross, “Now the holy light and demon blood in his body are conflicting with each other, just like a knife constantly cutting his internal organs and being healed by the divine power, and it cannot be relieved by the divine arts of the Church.”
Luo Mi heard of the phantom pain and asked: “Is there no other way?”
“I sealed a portion of his divine power. This will reduce his pain a lot.”
Luo Mi was a little curious: “Why seal it?”
“The divine power has been trying to purify his demonic blood, but the demonic blood is connected to his life. If a part of it is not sealed, he will be burned to death by his own divine power sooner or later.” Anos shook his head, “Let the divine power and the demonic blood reach a fragile but perfect balance, then both sides can calm down.”
“In this case, isn’t Archbishop Ellis as vulnerable as an ordinary person?”
Anos shook his head: “I left the Silver Knight in Florai Manor. Besides, the Church has some spells that can be used without divine power.”
Luo Mi asked curiously: “Can I learn it?”
“Any devout servant of God can do it.” Anos replied, “It’s just that it doesn’t require divine power, so it will be more difficult. I originally planned to start teaching you after returning to the Holy City, but you can learn it in advance if you want.”
Luo Mi was very satisfied and turned his attention back to Count Sheen: “Isn’t Balk Sheen afraid that this vampire will give him away?”
Peidi heard the key words, and his mind, which had been almost unconscious due to the stimulation of the garlic smell, gathered a little, and he instinctively retorted: “It’s the vampires!”
Anos nodded: “I thought of this as well. We can only keep this vampire under good care.”
He looked at Reinhardt, who nodded to show that he understood.
Given the strength of the Silver Knights around the Son of God, there was no way that Count Sheen could take anyone away from them.
Luo Mi added to Peidi worriedly: “Perhaps Balk Sheen has already abandoned you. You’d better confess as soon as possible.”
Peidi snorted and ignored him.
….
Over the next two days, the Vatican stationed knights in the cathedral and Florai Manor to guard against surprise attacks by Balk Sheen.
But apart from preparing for the Rose Festival, Count Sheen was busy every day leading the nobles and sheriffs to arrange the Rose Festival’s costumes, parades, petal rain, free rose feast, etc.
During the day, Anos prepared the magic arrays for the Rose Festival in the cathedral and the square, and at night he taught Luo Mi the magic of words.
Although the Word Spirit Art did not require the user to possess divine power, it was different from what Luo Mi imagined, where the user could use it by just pronouncing the words correctly. It required the user to pray to God in their heart when using it, and grasp the revelation given by God in a moment, and then speak the Word Spirit at this time, in order to truly use it successfully.
Luo Mi listened in confusion for a long time before confirming: “In other words, in essence, it is praying to God, asking God to help you release the magic?”
Anos nodded: “Because of this, compared with skills, the Word Spirit Art tests the piety of the caster more. Not everyone can successfully use the Word Spirit Art. Even if they can use it, there is no guarantee that it will succeed every time.”
That’s it. Luo Mi had the self-awareness of a non-believer, so he asked, “What’s your success rate?”
“It works every time.” As expected, Anos answered, “It’s just that the Word Spirit Art is not as convenient as using magic equipment directly, so I rarely use it.”
No matter what, Luo Mi still pretended to carefully memorize the pronunciation of various spiritual arts, at least he could pretend.
The Word Spirit Art was read out in sacred characters, which was the Chinese language that Luo Mi knew. The sentences were basically from the Bible, which made Luo Mi realize what “mother tongue shame” was.
During the day, while Anos was busy, Luo Mi went out and secretly met with Daisy Durr.
Hearing that the Church had captured a vampire who specialized in sucking the blood of demons, Daisy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said bitterly: “No wonder sometimes when I fell asleep at Balk’s place, I felt a little dizzy when I came back. I thought it was because I had too much fun or ate too much.”
“Balk Sheen is indeed related to that vampire.” Luo Mi held the straw thoughtfully, “What has he done in the past few days?”
Daisy ate the cookies baked into the shape of roses elegantly. “It’s still the same. He pretends to be a devout believer during the day, but he calls me over more often at night.”
At this time, Count Sheen was still in the mood to party every night? Luo Mi didn’t quite believe it: “What did he ask you to do? Are you doing anything strange?”
“What else can I do?” Daisy wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and thought carefully for a moment. “If there is anything strange, it’s that he wants me to stay in his manor and sleep all night… In the past, he rarely kept anyone and always sent me away after the work was done.”
What a scumb*g. Luo Mi muttered inwardly, then frowned.
Daisy finished her cookies, and there was a hint of curiosity in her amber eyes: “Master Lian, is something going to happen?”
Luo Mi thought for a moment and nodded: “Balk Sheen hopes that the Son of God can keep Archbishop Ellis in Losa City.”
Daisy was surprised and laughed, “I don’t believe it. He was oppressed by the archbishop in the past few years. It’s a good thing that he didn’t cut the archbishop into pieces now.”
“Anos said he was sincere. But keeping the Archbishop might also be for a deeper revenge.” Luo Mi thought for a while and asked Daisy, “What do you hope the Archbishop will do?”
“I am a subordinate of Lady Susan and Lord Lian, so I naturally follow your lead.” Daisy complimented them before speaking her true feelings. “Compared to the greedy and arrogant management of those nobles like Balk, Archbishop Ellis’s governance is at least much cleaner. And now that he has awakened his demon bloodline, it will surely be easier to control him in the future.”
Luo Mi touched his chin, looked at the fresh roses decorating the restaurant windowsill, and fell into deep thought.
Daisy also looked out the window, her eyes full of anticipation: “Tomorrow is Rose Festival…”
