Luo Mi sat on the sofa, staring at Reinhardt.
Reinhardt stared at the pure white feather in Luo Mi’s palm, his tone a bit complicated, as if he felt a little sorry and regretful: “Can this feather welcome the coming of His Majesty the Son of God?”
Luo Mi stroked the soft feather and rolled his eyes: “I’ve said it several times.”
After Anos’ evil personality left, the feather returned to pure white, saving Luo Mi the trouble of thinking about how to hide it.
After Anos, Reinhardt and others cleaned up the remaining zombies and magic circles in Sheen Manor and joined him, Luo Mi told them the whole story. Of course, he concealed the other personality of Anos and put the solution to the blood problem of Archbishop Ellis on Peidi.
When it came to the inevitable lies, he turned his head and said them to Reinhardt. Although it seemed a bit deliberate, at least he could avoid Anos’s “confessional eyes”.
Fortunately, Anos did not doubt this statement.
Reinhardt, on the other hand, was a little dazed. A few days after the Rose Festival ended, he was still struggling with this issue.
However, Luo Mi could understand it: Reinhardt had probably resold a lot of Anos’ feathers before, and only regarded the feathers as Anos’s fallen hair. As a result, he only realized now that they were such useful materials for casting spells. Now he probably wanted to buy back all the feathers he had before.
Reinhardt sighed deeply and patted his thigh: “Angels are coming, angels are coming… What a great gimmick! I should double the price!”
Luo Mi: “…Is this why you sighed?”
“What else? We, the Silver Knights, are responsible for protecting His Majesty the Holy Son. Do we have to ask His Majesty the Holy Son to come and protect us?” Reinhardt shook his head as a matter of course. “If we rely on His Majesty the Holy Son, the will of the knights will also be affected.”
Luo Mi waved his hand: “Then you can sell feathers at a higher price next time.”
Reinhardt showed an excited expression, but soon shook his head and sighed, “No, Your Highness has not made this magic public, and there must be a reason for it… Moreover, if the buyer knew that angels on earth can descend with the help of feathers, they would definitely try every means to find out how to use the magic, and they might even resent His Highness for it, which would ruin His Highness’s reputation.”
Luo Mi showed an incredible expression: “Won’t selling feathers ruin Anos’s reputation?”
“Your Highness’s feathers contain the power of holy light, and they can indeed protect ordinary people.” Reinhardt retorted, “So far, no buyer has complained.”
Maybe they don’t dare to? Luo Mi complained in his heart, and then asked curiously: “Anos has never used ‘Angel Descends’ before?”
Reinhardt shook his head: “It was only now that I realized that Your Highness could use his feathers to bring down power.”
Luo Mi recalled Anos’s state at that time: “I feel that Anos who came like this was different from usual.”
Even if he ignored the other evil personality that came later, Anos who first descended carried a strong sacred but distant feeling, full of divinity but lacking in humanity, which was very different from the usual Anos.
At least under normal circumstances, Anos would not burn a noble to death so easily, even if the noble was transforming into a demon.
Reinhardt disagreed with this: “Your Highness is an angel on earth, a savior given by God to the world, and this is how it should be.”
Luo Mi didn’t think so and planned to ask Anos about it.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a deep and melodious bell sound coming from outside.
“Dang—dang—”
There were two rings in total.
Reinhardt’s eyes became complicated. “The bell tolls twice to appease the dead soul. Balk Sheen’s funeral has begun.”
Luo Mi asked: “Archbishop Ellis went to preside over the funeral?”
“When a secular lord passes away, it is etiquette for the local bishop to be present to preside over the ceremony.” Reinhardt nodded, then rubbed his forehead, “I hope that His Excellency the Archbishop can control his emotions.”
The manor of the Count of Sheen was now deserted. Although he had many lovers, Balk had never made any of them pregnant, and there were no other relatives here, so the only people at the funeral were the people from the Vatican and other nobles who came to pay their respects.
The fact that Balk Sheen collaborated with the devil to murder the archbishop was not made public to the public. The Vatican only collected enough evidence and sent it to the Holy City, and sent another copy to Archduke Krenzo Sheen, Balk Sheen’s backer.
But based on Reinhardt’s understanding of the Archduke, he would certainly not accept this result. He must believe that the Vatican had fabricated the murder of his brother, and there would probably be trouble in the future.
Grand Duke Krenzo had considerable influence in the empire. Thinking about the disputes that would arise between the Holy See and the Empire in the future, Reinhardt silently sympathized with the Archbishop of the Sig Empire.
“Where’s Anos? Did he go to the funeral too?” Luo Mi didn’t see Anos after waking up this morning.
Reinhardt disagreed: “Your Highness’s presence in Losa City is an honor bestowed upon the local lord. There is no need to attend the funeral. Your Highness is repairing the cathedral and the divine magic array of the entire Losa City.”
Luo Mi touched his chin and said, “The modified divine magic array will not have any impact on the archbishop, right?”
“Not at the moment.” Reinhardt was also somewhat puzzled. “If the demon bloodline is just a matter of believing that you don’t have it, then wouldn’t it be very easy to solve?”
Luo Mi picked up the baked cookie and took a bite without saying anything.
The seed of charm that he left for Archbishop Ellis was not actually to make Ellis believe that he had no demon blood, but to make him believe that demon blood was just a very ordinary thing that did not violate his principles or the will of God.
Otherwise, if someone were to remind him or prove that he actually possessed demonic blood, it would cause confusion in his cognition.
Luo Mi finished his biscuits and clapped his hands: “I have nothing to do anyway, I’ll go out for a walk.”
….
Luo Mi didn’t really want to go out and play, but it was time to upgrade his physical fitness.
After planting the seed of charm in Archbishop Ellis’s spirit, he got a chance to upgrade his physique. He originally thought that he only needed to lie down and wait for the upgrade, but he didn’t expect that he could choose the direction of the upgrade himself.
“System, what are the upgrade directions?”
[For the first upgrade, you can choose to continue in the three directions of Succubus, Vampire, and Phantom.]
Succubus and vampire Luo Mi both understood, so he asked, “What is a Phantom?”
[Phantom is a low-level demon in the Demon Realm. Its characteristic is that it is immune to most physical attacks. The host can understand it as a ghost-like existence.]
“So what abilities can I gain after I level up?”
[Random]
Luo Mi: “…”
Random?
This put Luo Mi in a dilemma: should he continue to delve deeper into the path of succubus, or choose something else and try to possess multiple abilities?
Finally, Luo Mi decided to seek the opinions of relevant personnel.
The first was Peidi, a vampire.
Luo Mi met Peidi in the remote restaurant where he and Daisy often met.
It had to be said that vampires had a unique advantage in blending into the crowd. As long as they put on a little powder to cover up their skin color, they would be no different from ordinary humans.
After being forced to hand over the ruby representing his life to Luo Mi, Peidi’s attitude towards Luo Mi became much better. Although he was not as respectful as when the evil Anos was present, he still answered every question.
When Luo Mi asked, “What special skills do vampires have?”
Peidi first retorted, “It’s the blood clan,” and then he introduced them in a torrent of words, “Our blood clan is the strongest among all the races in the Demon Realm. We have enough magical talent to learn magic from other races, and we also have blood magic that is unique to our blood clan. We can even increase our strength at the full moon like werewolves. And most importantly, our blood clan has the highest IQ…”
Luo Mi listened patiently for a long time, and finally concluded: “It means that the magical talent is stronger, plus the ability to embrace and create blood slaves?”
Peidi said proudly: “The main reason is that our blood race is much smarter than other races.”
Luo Mi glanced at Peidi and couldn’t help asking, “Where does the demon lord of the blood clan rank among all the lords?”
Peidi paused: “We, the blood race, are just too lazy to compare with those brainless races. In terms of comprehensive strength, Lord Rose will not lose to other lords… The status of the demon lord is more complicated, and it cannot be explained by a simple ranking…”
Luo Mi blinked: “So what’s the ranking?”
Peidi pulled the corner of his mouth and said reluctantly: “He is definitely stronger than Lord Zixiang. Putting aside Lord Black Wing who is recognized as the number one, at least he is better than Lord Red Horn in terms of wisdom and strategy.”
“What about the other lord?”
“The last lord hasn’t appeared for a long time.” Peidi shook his head. “His territory is shrouded in endless black fog. It is basically deserted. I don’t know what his title is.”
Luo Mi nodded: “Thank you for helping me eliminate an option.”
Peidi didn’t understand what Luo Mi was saying, but his intuition told him that it wasn’t a good thing: “So what should I do next?”
This question stumped Luo Mi. In fact, these demon subordinates were useless to him except that they were worried about being exposed in front of Anos.
He thought for a moment and asked, “Where do you usually go?”
“Usually I go hunting in Losa City, and occasionally I go hunting near the Southern Principality.” Peidi said truthfully, “It depends on whether there is enough food in Losa City.”
“I might go to the Southern Principality later. You can help me find out about the local customs and practices there, especially those things about wine, sex, money and power.” Luo Mi gave Peidi a look that said “you know”.
Peidi did not find the succubus’s request strange. He only muttered, “Are you tired of the Holy See’s Holy Communion? Do you want to try some meat?”
Luo Mi’s mouth twitched, and he felt that he might not be able to face the word “Holy Communion” again.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was almost time to meet Daisy. Luo Mi urged, “Okay, okay, you go first.”
Peidi stood up reluctantly, and hesitated for a moment before finally asking hesitantly, “No reimbursement? I don’t have much money…”
“…Aren’t you a Viscount?”
“This is just the title I inherited from my father. The territory is far away in the Demon Realm, and it can’t provide me with financial support.” Peidi complained, “Otherwise, why would I cooperate with Balk Sheen? He promised to give me a small territory near Losa City afterwards.”
Of course, with the death of Balk Sheen, this blank check naturally had nowhere to be cashed.
Looking at Peidi’s resentful eyes, Luo Mi felt a heavy weight on his shoulders and could only say, “I’ll try my best.”
After watching this vampire viscount, who was as poor as himself, leave, Luo Mi began to wonder if he could borrow some money from Daisy.
Daisy controlled some industries of the Holy See and Count Sheen. Now that Count Sheen was gone, she should have taken the opportunity to reap a lot of benefits, right?
After a while, the beautiful Daisy Durr, wearing a black gauze hat covering most of her face and a dark black dress, sat opposite Luo Mi.
She took off her hat, revealing a somewhat haggard face: “Lord Lian, do you have any money?”
