Chapter 137 Disgusting

The next day.

The aftermath of the attack on Luo Saiqiao was still going on, and the reinforcements from Boyak held a brief meeting in the side hall.

"I think you have all seen Luo Saiqiao's situation after yesterday's action." Ma Qi said.

"The original plan of the Holy See was to carry out the operation only in the Pauillac territory, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The number of casualties in Rosaiqiao exceeded the acceptable range. The churches in Mainz and Pauillac are obliged to provide assistance to him."

Machiwei paused and looked at the people around him. Some of them were from the Boyak Church, but more were candidates for the Son of God from the Archbishop's Church.

"I consulted the Archbishop last night. The bishop said that we should obey Boyak's arrangement and respect the candidates' personal wishes."

As soon as these words were spoken, the candidates looked at each other, and everyone had a different expression on their face.

"I won't beat around the bush with you. I'll just say that you now have two choices. One is to stay with me in Rosaiqiao, and the other is to return to Boyak. The score of this trial will be determined based on everyone's performance over the past few days. The photo stone will be handed over to the Grand Council as a witness.

"Staying in Rosaic may give you more opportunities to show your abilities, but it also comes with more dangers. No one can be sure if Rosaic has other unknown hidden dangers. You need to weigh the pros and cons yourself. You can choose to stay here or go back to Pauillac.

“There is no difference between these two options in any way.

"This morning I have informed the knights who stayed in Pauillac that candidates who chose Rosaicchio will arrive this afternoon at the latest. Your consideration period ends after lunch."

Lu Yi stood to the side of the crowd. This position was not conspicuous, but he could see the expressions of most people.

Machi said they could choose to leave, but when Lu Yi saw the expressions of the crowd, he knew that no one would leave.

Since they were able to follow March to Boyak as soon as possible, there was no reason for them to leave at this time.

Lu Yi was just thinking about Mainz's support.

The candidate for the Son of God next door——

Isn't that West Asia?

This conjecture made him a little unable to laugh.

really.

In the afternoon, not only the remaining candidates from Boyak arrived at Rosaicchio, but also a group of candidates led by Xia.

When Xia saw Lant, he was instantly surprised and wanted to go up to him to reminisce about the past. However, as soon as his left leg took a step forward, his right leg froze in place.

He looked at Gary who was standing next to Rant. He seemed to be still frightened and looked pitiful, wanting to say something but not daring to come closer.

Xia looked at Lant eagerly, as if expecting him to approach him actively.

When Xia looked over, the candidates behind him also looked over.

"Hey, isn't that Rand? Rand is so close to us?!"

"Did you fall asleep on the day of the journey? Lant and his team are heading in the same direction as us! Boyak and Mainz are not far apart."

"Wow, then can we benefit from this? After all, this person's light power..."

"Come on, you only know how to take advantage of others. Why didn't you expect that you would be directly compared to the dust?! Having Xia was already a big blow, and now we have Rand. Do we still have the chance to get the selection points?"

Almost all the candidates had a particularly deep impression of Rand. After all, he exploded two Vatican crystal balls in a row and even obtained a special exemption from crystal ball training. Even if you count two or three sessions ago, it is difficult to find a similar experience. It is no exaggeration to say that he created history in the Vatican's Holy Son Selection Competition.

Lu Yi, who was being talked about by everyone, turned a blind eye to everything. He ignored Xia's burning gaze and turned around to drag Gary out.

Gary followed his lead, pulling himself out of his grasp.

"Well, now I'm finally relieved. This annoying guy really came. I shouldn't have relied on luck. What bad luck!" Gary muttered.

"Why do you hate Xia so much? Is it because he is the illegitimate son of the Klein family?" Lu Yi asked puzzledly.

Although Gary was unhappy with everyone, he could feel that Gary particularly hated Xia.

"Don't you hate him?" Gary asked back.

"I'm disgusted by him." Lu Yi said simply.

His answer was brief and clear, with no obvious expression on his face, but it made people see the disgust behind these four simple words.

"Disgusting? That's a good word, much better than disgusting." Gary laughed out loud, "Everyone says I speak rudely, but I think you, Rand, are no worse. I didn't expect you to be black underneath your white skin."

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Gary shrugged. "What kind of question is that? Do you need a reason to hate someone?"

"If you really want to ask." Gary paused, "I can only tell you that he used the Vatican to do some disgusting things in the past. At least it disgusted me."

Lu Yi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Relying on the Holy See..."

That's right, Xia's connection with the Holy See is much closer than its connection with the Klein family.

...Then could the downfall of the Klein family be related to the Holy See?

"What are you daydreaming about? Are you thinking about how to punish him? It's time to teach him a lesson. We haven't settled the score with him for the first audit day yet. We can't just let him off like that."

Lu Yi shook his head. "I'm not thinking about that. I'm just wondering why the Vatican would condone his actions. The Vatican's doctrines have always been strict, and even His Holiness the Pope has to abide by them personally. So how can Xia become that extremely special existence?"

Gary was stunned and his expression became subtle.

"Perhaps it is the honor of being a person favored by God? If your bright talent, Lante, was also discovered at a young age, perhaps you would have received even more exaggerated treatment than him."

"Impossible." Lu Yi shook his head again, "There must be a deeper reason."

Perhaps it was not mentioned in the original text, or perhaps it was simply mentioned as the "halo of the protagonist", but in this real world, there must be a reason for it.

What does West Asia mean to the Holy See?

Or, what does he mean to Callisto?

Lu Yi always felt that something was sliding through his mind, causing some light ripples that quickly dissipated as if they had never appeared.

"Don't think about it. If there really is some deeper reason, do you think the Holy See will let us, the little candidates for the Son of God, know about it?" Gary interrupted his thoughts.

"It's useless to think too much. Maybe you'll have a clue after you successfully become the Holy Son. Now you should think carefully about the afternoon's work. Both patrol and cleanup missions are not easy... Ha, it's really troublesome. We are both honorable fourth-level light mages, and we are being used as coolies here! How dare they do that?"

Gary became more and more frantic as he spoke, and his expression became more ferocious.

"You're right. It's useless to think too much. I'd better go kill more monsters and improve my strength." Lu Yi nodded in agreement. "Let's go. Although we can't be in the same team, the way to the main hall is the same..."

The fourth rank was considered high among all the candidates for the Son of God. Since they had chosen to stay, they had a tough task ahead of them.
