Chapter 120 Favorite

Jacob said it was "an incredible and great thing."

At first, Lu Yi thought that he would be received by His Holiness the Pope.

He was seriously worried about whether he would reveal any clues in front of Callisto.

After all, a top-notch expert like Callisto must have a deeper understanding of the deep soul, mental power and the like.

Lu Yi also asked 857 specifically.

857 said that the "My King" system only provides a body with a vest, and their souls are essentially still one person, there is no difference at all.

Gods can see through it at a glance, but what about Callisto, the human being who is closest to God?

Can he see the clues?

Even 857 couldn't give him an accurate answer to this question.

While sitting in the temple waiting, Lu Yi anticipated the possible temptations that Callisto might make.

He pondered over the answer he had prepared in advance, and only felt relieved after he was sure there were no loopholes.

About half an hour later, someone came.

However, what Lu Yi was waiting for was not Callisto, but Gunn, who was wearing a bishop's robe.

Gun was holding a thick ancient book in his hand. When he saw Lu Yi looking at him, he winked at him.

"Bishop, good day." Lu Yi immediately stood up and gave him a Vatican greeting.

Gunn placed the ancient book on the desk in front of him with one hand, patted his shoulder with the other hand, and then pushed him back into the chair.

"Good day, dear little Lanter."

Gun pulled the chair behind him and sat face to face with Lu Yi.

"Relax, Rand, I will be your teacher for the next four days of practical training. If you are too nervous, it will be detrimental to our teaching..."

Gunn looked carefully at the slightly immature Rand in front of him.

In his eyes, a person in his twenties is still considered a teenager. His mind is not yet fully mature, but his body is gradually becoming stable.

He has a pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes, like extremely pure amber. When he looks at you, even his delicate facial features will glow.

It's easy to like him at first sight, he looks like a good kid.

"Okay, Bishop, I'm not nervous." Lu Yi also smiled at him.

nervous?

joke.

The big-hearted contestant Lu Yi was not nervous at all, he was even secretly happy at this moment.

Lu Yi didn't know exactly what level Gunn was at, but as a senior cardinal, he was at least a fifth or sixth level light magician. He was undoubtedly one of the top light magicians on the Isaiah continent.

With such an absolutely strong man giving him special treatment one-on-one, how could Lu Yi not be secretly happy?

You have to know that among the seven hundred candidates, there are only two ordinary bishops of level four.

857 didn't understand his excitement and asked in confusion: [Lu Yi, Lu Yi, you were not so happy even though Alice, the strongest person in the human race, was your teacher before? ]

[“Alice?”] Lu Yi was slightly stunned and hesitated, [“Are you talking about Teacher Ares?”]

[Yes, didn’t you call him that before? There are still risks in calling a god by his taboo name, so I decided to follow your example!]

[“…Of course.”] Lu Yi’s mouth twitched slightly, [“You know what, the name Alice is indeed better than his real name.”]

【So why?】Machine Life 857 asked in a hungry tone.

[“…He is a killing god, familiar with extremely powerful killing moves. The operation of his magic power and his thoughts are full of murderous aura. It is easy for him to lead me into a trap.”]

You can learn it, but you can’t learn it completely.

Lu Yi doesn't have the idea of killing everyone in the world yet.

【Oh, I see.】857 suddenly realized.

Lu Yi's expression was relaxed and natural when he said this, and Gunn's evaluation of him slightly increased.

"That's good." Gunn said, "I have a feeling we'll get along very well."

"You are a freshman in the Department of Light at St. Dover this year, right?" Gun asked.

"Yes, Bishop."

"Let me see... Well, you are almost at the peak of your apprentice magician status, which is pretty good, but compared to your outstanding talent, there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Gu En flipped open the ancient book in his hand and said, "Since you can't use the crystal ball, let's start with the simplest and dumbest method..."

A class lasts from noon to dusk.

Gunn also went from being at ease at the beginning to being secretly amazed at the end.

He had tried his best to overestimate Rant's talent and understanding, but he still couldn't help being shocked by his performance.

Gunn also has experience teaching students.

In his early years, as a bishop of the Vatican, he was specially invited to be a professor at St. Dove for several years.

Whether he is stupid or talented, he has seen a lot.

But no one has ever been like Rant, who could understand his true meaning with just a few words, and even draw inferences from what he learned and extend it to angles that he had never considered.

Lant never had to wait a second time to perform an action he demonstrated. No matter how many years he had been practicing, he could do it easily after watching it once, without exception.

In time, he will surely surpass him.

And it’s far beyond that.

By the end of the lesson, Gunn was even terrified.

His bright talent may be able to compete with Lu Yi!

Lu Yi's bright talent caused a miracle at the baptism ceremony——

The sun was setting, and through the window the afterglow of light shone, and Gun closed the book in his hand.

He looked at Lu Yi, and was interrupted by a knock on the door just as he was about to open his mouth.

Gunn subconsciously felt unhappy, but soon this unhappiness turned into some kind of speculation.

This conjecture startled Gunn so much that he stood up from his chair.

Such an action is really not elegant and calm for a cardinal.

Lu Yi looked up and asked in surprise: "Bishop?"

Gun seemed a little anxious. He whispered, "Wait a moment." Then he turned and walked quickly towards the closed door.

Gun opened the door and saw His Holiness the Pope smiling outside!

"Your Majesty!" He put his hands on his chest and bowed his head respectfully to Callisto.

"I was wondering if I would be late, but things went unexpectedly smoothly. Perhaps this is the will of the God of Light?" Callisto said with a smile.

"Yes, this must be the arrangement of the God of Light. Your Majesty always gets what he wants..."

Gun led Callisto inside, and Lu Yi in the hall immediately stood up to greet him after seeing who was coming.

"Your Holiness." Lu Yi performed a textbook-level perfect salute.

This was a common courtesy, but Callisto reached out his hand and gave him a slight support.

Although it was just a nominal support, the importance behind it was self-evident, and even Gunn on the side looked at it sideways.

And what happened next continued to surprise him.

Gunn wanted to briefly introduce Lant, but Callisto accurately called out Lant's name.

"Rant, nice to see you today."

"It is my honor, Your Majesty. I am so delighted to have an audience with you today."

Lu Yi's answer was flawless, and he struck just the right balance of composure, not seeming fawning nor cold.

"It's not really an interview, just a simple chat in our spare time." Callisto said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, before Lu Yi could say anything, Gunn took his leave with particular tact.

Lu Yi and Callisto were the only ones left in the spacious hall.

Callisto walked straight past Lu Yi and sat down in the chair where he had been sitting before.

He raised his eyes to look at Lu Yi standing in front of him and said gently: "Sit down, I said this is just a casual chat, you don't need to care about my identity."

Lu Yi nodded and slowly sat down opposite him.

Callisto seemed to have been busy for a long time, and there was a very subtle trace of fatigue and laziness between his brows.

His back was relaxed, leaning naturally against the back of the chair, and his whole body showed a kind of lazy elegance.

"You look a bit like a close friend of mine." Callisto looked up.

His elbows were naturally leaning on the armrests of the chair, and his eyes were calm as he looked at him with his head slightly tilted.

Lu Yi's heart was filled with alarm, but his expression remained calm.

He grinned, his light amber eyes curved into pointed crescents.

"Really? To be like His Holiness's friend must be a compliment to me, right?"

He deliberately smiled brightly, and combined with Rant's harmless face, he looked particularly well-behaved and docile, trying to distinguish himself from the aggressive blond hair and blue eyes.

Callisto shook his head, "No, if I wanted to praise you, I would choose a better way to express it.

"I was just expressing my thoughts. You are a bit like him, that's all."

Having failed to fool the person, Lu Yi's inner alarm became even louder.

"Do we look alike? Maybe we have some blood connection..."

Callisto smiled upon hearing this, "Blood relationship? I think the possibility is very small. In fact, you two look completely different. I have never seen anyone who can match his appearance."

"...Your Majesty, are you referring to Lu Yi?" Lu Yi pretended to have suddenly realized something.

Callisto, you are really too sensitive——

No matter what, he insisted that Rant and Lu Yi were just friends, and Calisto couldn't do anything to him.

No matter how imaginative Kallisto is, he probably couldn't imagine that Rant and Lu Yi are actually the same person.

To put it another way, even if he guessed it, Callisto couldn't provide any evidence.

He didn't need to produce evidence.

After some consideration, Lu Yi gave up completely.

"Lu Yi is indeed the most handsome man I have ever seen. I can't compare to him." He praised himself without changing his expression, silently lamenting that his skin was becoming thicker day by day.

I learned all of this from 857.

Seeing Lant mention Lu Yi on his own initiative, Callisto's expression softened a little.

"Lu Yi told me that you two are close friends. When I saw you today, it turned out that some of your little moves are almost exactly the same."

Lu Yi couldn't respond, so he just smiled and changed the subject calmly, "Really? Lu Yi also talked about me with His Majesty..."

"Of course." Callisto nodded, "He asked me to take better care of you."

"But now it seems that he was too concerned. You have adapted well to the Vatican. Both the other candidates and the bishops like you very much."

Worrying leads to confusion?

Lu Yi couldn't figure out the meaning of the words used by Callisto. He felt that it was a bit strange but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He could only continue to play it safe: "God of Light, we are all very good people, and it is natural for us to get along well with each other. I am also very grateful for their love..."

"Yeah." Callisto nodded, "Lu Yi likes you too."

In front is the Beast King Paso Aparri, and behind is Luy Klein.

Callisto was really curious about what kind of magic this Lanter Hobbs had.

How could he attract Lu Yi's favor?

The author has something to say:

Callisto (stare) (os: Best friend? What does Paso like about him? What does Lu Yi like about him?)
