While Luo Mi was being obsessed with the robot, Anos and Reinhardt were also wary of the Imperial Envoys.
That day, when Luo Mi woke up from a nap, he learned an unexpected fact: the imperial envoys were going back.
Luo Mi’s first reaction: “Going back? Have they finished discussing their affairs?”
Anos nodded expressionlessly: “Your Majesty has exempted part of the empire’s religious taxes.”
Probably the result of a tug-of-war between the two sides… Luo Mi made a judgment, and then asked curiously: “Isn’t it a good thing that the imperial envoys left?”
Reinhardt curled his lips: “The envoys left, but the troublemakers didn’t leave.”
“Prince Pearl?”
Anos nodded, his slightly pursed lips revealing that he was not in a particularly good mood: “Prince Pearl has not left and will join the North-South dialogue team and go to the Principality with us to visit the Pietist Faction.”
It took Luo Mi a while to recall what the North-South Dialogue was: “The annual debate between the secular and devout factions of the Vatican? Why did he join this team?”
At Luo Mi’s signal, Ark No. 2 poured Anos a cup of black tea.
After thanking him, Anos shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. I can only guess that the Empire might want to contact the Pietists.”
Luo Mi couldn’t help but think of the two pious missionaries who sneaked into the imperial territory during the Witch Trial incident and gained a new understanding of the flirting between the Alpha Empire and the Pious.
This made him even more confused: “How could the Pope agree to this?”
Anos raised his head and replied, “My father just came over and hinted that the Empire has some leverage over the Church.”
“What handle?” Luo Mi asked curiously, and then realized something, “Is it something I can know?”
Anos shook his head: “Father doesn’t know either. He only speculated through some clues that it has something to do with the ‘Green Heart’.”
Luo Mi suddenly remembered that Shadow told him that the Green Heart contained the blood of Lord Zixiang from the Demon Realm.
But isn’t this drink produced by the Empire? Even if they are colluding with the Demon Lord, shouldn’t it be a handle for the Empire? Could it be that this drink was actually made by the Church?
Luo Mi asked: “So what should we do next?”
“Since His Majesty has agreed, Prince Pearl must join the Vatican’s special mission. However, like us, he will not participate in the debate but just sightsee.” Anos raised his eyes and stared at Luo Mi seriously. “We don’t need to do anything, but you must be careful. We cannot rule out the possibility that the shadow magic you were hit by is related to Prince Pearl.”
At this point, he sighed softly, “During this period, I have been using the remaining aura of the magic to locate the position of the caster. In the end, I was unsuccessful and it always pointed to me. It can be seen that the other party’s magic level is very high, enough to interfere with the search of the Holy See’s magic array.”
No, it was quite successful… Luo Mi was speechless, and after a long while he said, “I will pay attention.”
….
No matter how wary Anos was of Prince Pearl, there was no doubt that Prince Pearl and his two servants were included in the team that went to the Principality of Perd for the North-South Dialogue.
During this period, Anos tried his best not to meet Prince Pearl. The other party seemed to know the delicate relationship between the two sides and did not take the initiative to visit him. They did not actually meet until they set out together.
Pearl Pelant had changed out of the formal dress that represented his noble status as a prince and put on a clean and tidy black and white priest robe, which only made him look more noble than an ordinary priest.
Luo Mi found Pearl’s outfit familiar, but soon remembered: Isn’t this Anos’ daily look?
Luo Mi looked at Pearl, hesitated for a while, and asked the system in his heart: “I should no longer be affected by the Green Heart, why do I always feel that this guy is imitating Anos?”
Although the priest robe Anos wore was the “standard” style of the Vatican, it was actually custom-made by the Vatican. Pearl’s robe was obviously custom-made by someone else, and it even felt like it was modeled after Anos’s.
[Perhaps because Pearl Pelant worships the Son more, he may be your rival in love.]
Luo Mi was speechless, and after a moment he said: “I will take action as soon as possible, please don’t rush me.”
During this period of time, the system had been urging him to complete tasks in various overt and covert ways, and recently it had even begun to develop an “imaginary enemy” model, which had made Luo Mi’s ears callused.
Pearl was talking to the leading cardinal. When he noticed Anos coming over, he gave the cardinal an apologetic smile, then walked towards Luo Mi and Anos with a smile on his face and undisguised joy in his lake green eyes: “Your Highness, we will be traveling together for a while. I hope we can get along well.”
Then he turned to Luo Mi and said with a smile, “And Lord Lian too.”
Anos politely responded: “I am looking forward to this trip.”
The smile on Pearl’s face grew brighter.
Luo Mi watched coldly, feeling that he might have been brainwashed by the system. Otherwise, why did he feel that Pearl really had an unusual enthusiasm for Anos?
Unfortunately, Anos remained wary of Pearl and maintained a good social distance. Even his smile was distant and polite, and he answered all of Pearl’s questions with “This is God’s arrangement.”
Pearl didn’t get angry after hitting a few soft nails. Instead, he turned around and looked at Luo Mi with a smile: “Sir Lian, is Ark No. 2 useful?”
When this was mentioned, Luo Mi immediately became excited: “It’s so useful!”
At the same time, Luo Mi said to the system in his heart, “System, give His Royal Highness the Prince a whole life!”
Then a big child suddenly flew out of Anos’ carriage, flew to Luo Mi’s side with the help of the magic circle set up under his feet, raised a cup full of black tea, and handed it to Luo Mi: “Master, it’s time to drink tea.”
Luo Mi took the cup of black tea without a drop spilled, took a sip, and put it back on the tea tray.
Ark No. 2’s emerald eyes rolled around, and he said in a clear voice, “Master, wasting food and wasting opportunities are both bad behaviors. You should finish your drink.”
Luo Mi’s mouth twitched, knowing that it must be the system asking for his life again, so he had no choice but to pick it up and drink it all.
Pearl was stunned.
After a moment, his green eyes suddenly lit up, and he took a step forward with joy: “How did you train Ark No. 2 to be intelligent?”
