Chapter 148 Loyalty

"Rant, would you like to go to Rosaicchio?"

"When do we leave?" Rant replied.

Just a simple sentence, without any hesitation or weighing of the pros and cons.

He answered naturally, as if he was discussing an impromptu outing rather than a disaster area that others were trying to avoid.

Heller's slightly stunned expression was reflected in her beautiful light amber eyes.

Heller subconsciously blinked his sore eyes. The busy night made him very tired both physically and mentally.

Fortunately, he was not mistaken.

"The sooner the better," Heller said.

After Heller finished speaking, his eyes became more hesitant, and he couldn't help but ask: "The current Luo Saiqiao is countless times more dangerous than Boyak..."

He said something nonsense.

But Heller had to say this nonsense.

When Rand didn't answer, he was afraid that Rand would not agree.

But when Rand really agreed as he expected, Heller's heart tightened.

With complicated emotions, even he himself couldn't tell whether he hoped Rant would be more selfless or more selfish.

Lant seemed to see the embarrassment behind his reminder and smiled at him, "Katifan is a hundred times safer than Boyak."

The candidates standing in Boyack today are "fools" who have given up on returning to the Vatican. It doesn't matter whether they are in Boyack or Rosay.

The silence is only temporary.

All it takes is one person to break the silence.

Lu Yi thought that Father Heller thought highly of him and took the initiative to give him this opportunity to establish his reputation among the candidates.

Sure enough, under the influence of Lant's neat answer, first Gary stood up silently, and then more candidates extended their hands.

Looking at the hands extended by nearly half of the candidates in front of him, Heller's expression seemed to be both crying and laughing.

"May the God of Light be with you. You are all the pride of the Church..."

…

"God of Light... Is this some kind of hell on earth?"

"This is totally different from Luo Saiqiao before!" A candidate exclaimed, "How many living people are there in this city?!"

No one answered him. The candidates all stared silently at the scene in Luo Saiqiao City, the huge pit not far away and the thick black smoke.

The streets have become desolate to the point of being shocking. The colorful graffiti on the rock walls have all faded, the grass leaves are withered and yellow, and many houses and small buildings have long since collapsed, as if they had left this city-state for a hundred years, and the city looks completely unfamiliar when they see it again.

They were standing at the city gate. The person who met them was wearing a similar black robe of a bird-beaked doctor and said simply, "Wait a moment. The wizard from Mainz will be here soon."

Lu Yi, as the temporary head of Boyak, nodded.

He wanted to ask about Luo Saiqiao's specific situation, but now was obviously not a good time to speak, so he could only stand quietly at the city gate and wait for the next wave of visitors.

The people from Mainz came quickly, and Lu Yi saw the curly golden hair of the leader from a distance.

857 seemed a little surprised, [He actually came too? Could it be that he really has some qualities of a protagonist?! ]

Lu Yi had seen through Xia a long time ago, and said casually: [“You expect him to be sincere, why not guess whether there are any benefits or disadvantages of not doing this.”]

There is no such thing as a quick rise without profit. This sentence is enough to summarize half of West Asia’s behavior.

The remaining half of the behaviors are based on the consideration that they may damage their own image.

[Tsk, it's true!] 857 quickly glanced at the task log in the background.

It was not satisfied with just looking at it itself, so it took a screenshot and sent it to Lu Yi.

[Look! A real picture of someone gritting his teeth and forcing a smile! ]

Lu Yi took a moment to glance at the screenshot, and did not make any comments on Xia, but said: [“Your ‘real picture’ is very spiritual.”]

"Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?" Xia pulled the dark scarf from around her neck, her azure eyes shining brightly.

The person who answered shook his head and said, "Put on your bird-beak mask and black robe... Did you bring them?"

Under the command of Lant, the people from Boyak had already changed into Doctor Bird's Beak's clothes more than a hundred meters away from the gate of Rosay, while the wizard from Mainz was still wearing the casual clothes of the Vatican.

Xia smiled unchanged and nodded, "I brought it! We'll change it now!"

He moved quickly and didn't notice the complaining looks from some people behind him.

857 smelled a strange aroma and asked sensitively: [Is there a melon?]

Lu Yi shrugged, "Maybe. Anyway, I don't believe that with so many people in Mainz, no one would suggest wearing masks and black robes in advance."

Then why did they arrive at the city gate in Vatican casual clothes?

Apparently someone prevented the premature change of clothes.

To see the deeper motivations behind something, we need to understand who has the power to drive it forward and who benefits from it.

Although Lu Yi thought this was stupid and disgusting, he might be smart enough to think this was another good way to show off.

After all, on the vast gray sand, both the blonde hair and the blue eyes are enough to attract people's attention.

Lu Yi on this side accidentally guessed Xia's true thoughts, and Xia on the other side also changed into a black robe.

His blond hair and blue eyes were hidden under the silver mask and the wide black robe, and his short stature made him stand out from the crowd.

"Let's go!" Xia said.

Everyone was taken to the Roman Catholic Church.

Due to the shortage of manpower, they did not have much time to adapt and were assigned tasks after being allocated accommodation.

Lu Yi was assigned to a team of three.

The three members of the team were all wearing masks, so he couldn't see their faces clearly, but when the leader spoke, his voice was a familiar one.

"Lant, long time no see!"

Lu Yi was slightly stunned.

——It was the voice of the former captain of Luo Saiqiao’s temporary team.

"Andre?" He blurted out the captain's name.

Andre said: "Not bad! You still remember my name~"

Lu Yi looked at the two people behind him. It was also a familiar voice. They were also members of the temporary team.

"Hey! Rant!"

"Long time no see, Rant!"

The two waved at him.

But there were clearly seven people in the temporary team at that time.

What about the other four people? Lu Yi didn't dare, nor did he want to think about it any further.

Andre seemed to have read his mind and said frankly, "David, Marin, Danny, and Adori have all gone to the Kingdom of God."

"They are the best partners and also the most devout believers." Andrew said softly.

His voice was very calm, as if he had already accepted the fact that his close friend who had fought alongside him had passed away. There was no more hysteria, only a little silent sadness flowing.

Lu Yi silently made the sign of the cross on his chest.

"The God of Light is with them."

Lu Yi originally thought that this panacea-like saying was meaningless, but at this moment, he suddenly felt fortunate that there was such a saying.

It can bring some comfort to the deceased's loved ones.

[“857, can’t we really borrow points on credit first? At least control the Black Death in this small area first.”] Lu Yi asked tentatively.

857 replied in a low voice: [No, Lu Yi, my authority is far from enough to borrow such a huge amount of points.]

Lu Yi sighed, [“It’s okay.”]

He held Mios responsible for this.

"Let's go, our work today is very hard!" Andre patted his shoulder and took the lead to walk forward.

The cold silver bird-beak mask covered everyone's face, and Lu Yi could no longer detect any sadness beneath the hearty voice.

He could only curse Mios in his heart, and then quietly followed the three people.

…

By the time I returned to my simple residence after a busy day, it was already completely dark.

Lu Yi was exhausted both physically and mentally, and fell asleep after a simple wash.

But the dreamland is not a dreamland.

It's that familiar black.

Only this time, standing before him was no longer the chaotic black fog, but an arrogant god sitting high on the throne.

"Whoa~" Mios whistled, seeming to be in a particularly good mood.

"How's it going, little cutie? Did you receive the gift I gave you?"

Lu Yi was stunned, his eyes widened and his pupils trembled slightly.

His body was trembling, and his hands, hanging behind his robe, were clenched into fists, with his neatly trimmed nails almost digging into the flesh.

"…A gift for me?"

A gift for him?

As if he was extremely surprised and excited, his voice trembled slightly when he answered.

“Is it this epidemic?”

"Hmm!" Mios's lips raised a little higher, "Smart, do you like it?"

As expected, we are the human race chosen by Him, and we have a tacit understanding with Him!

I like you *****! Lu Yi cursed in his heart.

During the Ragnarok, why didn't Ares crush this psychopath to death?

Lu Yi was breathing heavily, his eyes were red, and he looked extremely happy.

"I'm so happy!" he said through gritting his teeth.

A disease as a gift, a disease that can be called a gift...

Death is just the most meaningless thing in the eyes of gods, and all the lost lives are summarized by Mios with the light word "gift".

The deaths that Lu Yi witnessed in Luo Saiqiao alone were extremely shocking, not to mention other areas where the Black Death was more serious.

And the instigator is smiling. Does he like it?

Do you like it?

When anger reaches its peak, reason takes over.

All those suppressed and high emotions in his heart turned into Lu Yi's calmest thoughts.

He can't be impatient.

The more critical the moment, the more calm he had to be.

Since this plague was caused by Mios, He must know a solution!

Lu Yi smiled and said naturally, "The Lord God arranged such a gift for me. He must have his own considerations!"

"The Lord God's considerations are profound and almighty. Although I am stupid and cannot fathom them, I was fortunate enough to see the slight smile on the face of my Lord God, and I felt that it must be a very good consideration."

The little man seemed to have mustered up the courage, raised his head and looked at Him, with a sparkling light flashing in his light amber eyes.

His appearance was merely handsome, far inferior to those gods on the sacred mountain who were famous for their beauty. Even the appearance of the elves on the continent could not compare to his.

Mios picked and chose, and in the end only the eyes were considered beautiful.

His lips were light pink, and Mios didn't pay attention to what he said, his eyes were only fixed on his eyes.

They are just some words to flatter Him.

"Lord God..." the dwarf said nervously.

Mios came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and said, "I was in too much of a hurry last time and forgot one thing."

Lu Yi looked at Him seriously.

"Since you believe in me, you naturally need to give me all your faith and loyalty." Mios said.

"So, how are you going to pledge your loyalty to me?"
