Chapter 284 The final BOSS appears!
Chris' heart trembled suddenly. You know, the prince has heard a lot of flattering words for all these years. In these years, in the royal city, he has met many people who have said countless sweet-mouthed but treacherous words in order to curry favor with him and flatter him.
But no one has ever really used all his savings to buy something for himself, let alone a bracelet.
He said he was willing to give him everything he had.
Chris felt his throat dry. He looked at Jian Yue and said, "Did you say the same thing to your previous master?"
Jian Yue shook his head honestly: "You are my first master."
Chris was happy, and he looked particularly proud. The prince was very happy about the fact that he was unique. This made him happier than when he first learned to ride a horse as a child and when he first got the title of knight.
only……
Chris thought about it and decided that he couldn't be fooled by just a few words, otherwise, his little servant might think that he was someone who was easy to deal with.
"Okay, since you want to give it to me, I'll accept it." Chris took it and said, "But I can't wear it all the time. You should know that as a prince, my identity..."
Originally, Chris wanted to say that he might try out some other bracelets occasionally.
What I didn't expect was.
Jian Yue said directly: "It's okay, this is just a token of my appreciation. To be honest, this bracelet is not worthy of your status. You just need to keep it. It doesn't matter if you don't wear it. I know this gift will make you feel embarrassed. After all, you have many better accessories that are more suitable for your status. In fact, I am very grateful that you are willing to accept it."
This sentence blocked all the words of His Majesty the Prince.
Chris: “…Of course.”
Although I say so.
His Lordship still cherished it very much and carefully put away the box that Jian Yue handed over.
The two men walked to the river bank, and not far from the river bank was the church. The church was also very busy today, with people coming and going. Many people brought flowers into the church to pray, praying that the Lord God would bless them.
When Jian Yue looked at the church, he thought of sunflowers.
So far, he has not had the opportunity to enter the church to find out the real clues about the sunflower.
But what he didn't expect was.
Chris said, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Jian Yue was a little surprised. He said, "Don't you dislike the church?"
Chris looked at the church not far away, his eyes seemed a little deep, and the man said slowly: "Since the carriage was assassinated, I have been investigating the church. The matter of the devil has been spread in the town for years. The church has an unshirkable responsibility. Since we want to investigate the devil, we naturally have to start with the people who eliminated the devil."
Jian Yue asked: "Did you find out anything?"
In fact, Jian Yue was also very nervous when he asked this question.
Chris said, "The church and the Duke control almost all the nectar of the sunflowers. The nectar can prolong life, make people more beautiful, and even drive away demons. Every year, the holy water used by people who suffer from demonic diseases is also made from nectar. Not only in the small town, but also in the entire royal city, more and more people are beginning to flock to this nectar. Who do you think will be the final beneficiary?"
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "The Duke and the Bishop are the beneficiaries behind this."
Chris glanced at Jian Yue and suddenly smiled softly. The prince said, "You dare to say that."
In such an era, Jian Yue could be regarded as the first person who could discuss the affairs of the nobles so frankly and openly. Even if the Duke and the Bishop themselves did not hear such words, anyone could punish Jian Yue for it.
Jian Yue reacted, he looked at Chris, and then smiled: "After all, my master doubts them, so of course I will doubt them, but actually, Your Highness, I am more curious, since you think there is a trick here, why did you go today?"
Chris said, "Didn't you say to pray for blessings?"
Jian Yue was stunned.
When they got closer, Chris's face appeared from behind his hat. The man's handsome features were clear and bright. He looked at Jian Yue and said, "Since you gave me a gift, I will naturally go with you to pray for blessings."
Very touching words.
Jian Yue held it in for a long time, then hesitantly asked, "Are we just wearing the same clothes?"
Chris: “…Change your clothes.”
This place is not far from the castle, but there is no need to go to the castle, because Chris has already arranged his own carriage to follow not far away, and the servant is his most loyal manservant driving the car, so all you need to do is get into the carriage and change your clothes.
When Chris got into the car, Jian Yue supported him and almost went in with him.
Lord Wangjue gave him a meaningful look and said, "Do you want to go in and change clothes with me?"
In fact, in this era, it seems to be a very normal thing for servants to change clothes for their masters. Chris's voice is low and elegant. When it falls into people's ears, it inexplicably has some invisible hooks that touch people's hearts.
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, and then his heart beat faster for some reason. They were very close, so close that he could smell the faint scent of plum blossoms on Chris, and so close that Chris could see the ears of the person next to him suddenly turn red.
Chris smiled and said, "Wait for me here."
So Jian Yue waited outside the carriage.
Chris was changing his clothes inside. Almost everything he would need was ready in the carriage. The carriage used by the prince was naturally unusually large, and the items inside were also very complete. After a while, Chris opened the door of the carriage and said to Jian Yue, "Get in."
He was still wearing gorgeous noble clothes. The golden blue robe was fitted, which made his tall and handsome figure look even taller and more upright. When Jian Yue got into the car, he had to step on the steps above. He was not tall enough, so Chris reached out his hand. Jian Yue looked up and saw the young prince snorting and saying, "Can't you do such a small thing? You still need me to help you."
Jian Yue: "...your carriage is too high. I'll just prepare a small stool next time."
A normal carriage wouldn't be this high. The specifications of the prince's carriage are too high.
Chris said, "I don't think I need anything like that."
Jian Yue thought to herself, use it yourself!
Chris looked at him and said, "You don't need it either."
Lord Prince thought, his hands are so long, tender and soft. When shaking hands, it felt like touching a piece of soft white jade. If there is a stool in the future, what will he touch? Absolutely not!
Jian Yue: “…”
Why does Your Highness have to cut down on the budget even for a stool? Did something happen in the royal city recently?
The two men went to the church in a carriage.
This was the first time that Jian Yue accompanied Chris. Chris did not inform the church in advance that he would come, but when the carriage appeared at the door, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
In almost no time.
Carl was the first to run out.
then.
Bishop Anthony appeared. He was still wearing a white robe. His fat body made him look like a white dumpling when he walked from a distance.
"Respected Lord Prince," the bishop said, "Welcome to the church from afar. Your arrival makes this place glorious. On behalf of everyone here, I welcome you."
Chris's red hair was particularly eye-catching in the entire church. He instantly attracted everyone's attention. The bishop, who usually looked high and mighty in front of everyone, looked at him respectfully. Chris slowly said, "Let me take a look."
The bishop did not seem to understand what this gentleman was up to, but he knew that this gentleman was someone he could not afford to offend, so he quickly said, "Of course, please follow me."
Jian Yue followed him as his personal valet.
They walked into the church, and the whole church was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The bishop walked in front, and as he walked, he introduced: "Our church can be said to be the first town where a miracle occurred. The Lord God once performed a miracle here, and the entire church exists to protect this miracle."
They walked inside.
In fact, the entire church is very large, and there are many places that Jian Yue himself has never been to, especially the back of the church. Perhaps it was because of Chris's arrival that they were able to enter this area.
Following behind Chris were many nobles, all of whom were watching the miracle that ordinary people could not see.
Walking through the path and into the innermost part of the courtyard, Jian Yue finally saw the appearance of the innermost building. A huge drum tower stood there in the dark. Although it was a sunny day today, this ancient building still had a gloomy feeling. There were some very strange textures and patterns carved on the middle wall.
After seeing so many murals, Jian Yue knew that all murals must have their reasons for existence, and most of the time, murals are like stories, recording many things that cannot be told to outsiders.
At first glance, it is hard to tell what the mural on the wall is about, but after Jian Yue took a closer look, he found that it was like a description of a pattern, with many strange-looking demons painted on it.
The bishop introduced in front, “This mural depicts the story of the first generation of the town’s people fighting against the evil demons and finally winning. Therefore, the ancestors of all the people in our town were very brave and loyal warriors. As their descendants, we will naturally fight against the demons to the end and will not back down!”
He spoke passionately.
Sure enough, there was enthusiastic applause and a chorus of agreement from below.
The bishop even smiled and said to Chris: "Your Highness, your parents, that is, our honorable Majesty, were the first to kill the devil and were blessed by the Lord God to become knights. The Chris family will always be the greatest warriors in our royal city. Please allow us to pay you the highest respect."
Chris had a blank expression on his face. He said, "That's all my father's glory. You don't have to do this to me."
The bishop's smile faded, probably because he was shocked by Chris's overly cold attitude, but he still smiled and said, "Glory is one. Your father is a great warrior, and of course you are too."
Jian Yue looked at the bishop and inexplicably felt that he must be hinting at something, and was afraid that he had other intentions.
really.
As soon as this guess came to fruition, the bishop glanced at the crowd behind him and said to Chris, "Your Highness the Prince is back in town this time, probably for the Princess's matter. We should give him a solemn reception. Unfortunately, Your Highness was seriously injured, and I was busy dealing with the demon attack a few days ago and couldn't visit him in person. Now, taking advantage of this situation, I would like to formally invite Your Highness and Your Highness the Princess to come and live in the church. What do you think?"
Jian Yue was a little surprised. He didn't understand why the bishop suddenly mentioned that he wanted the princess to live in the church.
In other words, he had this plan a long time ago, and even if he didn't mention it today, he would say it tomorrow.
Chris refused without a second thought: "Daya can just live in the manor."
Bishop Anthony did not back down at all. He said, "Her Royal Highness is ill. I think she will be better cared for and protected in the church. What do you think?"
Chris frowned slightly and said, "I won't live in the church, and neither will Daya."
Anthony's smile faded. He said, "The church is a sacred place. Your Highness said that. Does that mean that the princess doesn't like it here? People who truly respect the Lord will not stay away from the church."
These words carry a lot of weight.
After all, you have to know that in this royal city, the entire church is of great importance. If the prince, as the heir, publicly expresses his dissatisfaction with the church, his identity as having a relationship with the devil will be questioned. Once such words are spoken, it will naturally attract more criticism.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Chris.
After all, if Chris nodded, the princess' reputation would be ruined, and she would definitely be known as disrespectful to the Lord God. Only Jian Yue, who was standing next to her, knew that if a kind and gentle girl like the princess was locked up in the church because of her demonic disease, she would be completely controlled and tortured by the church.
So he understood that Chris would never give in.
The man standing next to him only smiled sarcastically after hearing this. Chris was tall and handsome. He raised a sharp eyebrow and glanced at the person in front of him, then curled his lips and sneered. He said fearlessly: "It's not her who doesn't like the church, it's me."
Everyone was stunned.
Chris glanced at the bishop with a somewhat indifferent look and said, "Is it not possible?"
The bishop choked. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to use everyone's words to put pressure on Chris so that the princess could come to his church. This way he could control the princess. After all, if he could control the princess, it would be equivalent to controlling a part of the power. However, he never expected that the prince would ignore everyone's eyes and say such words!
"How can you say such a thing?" Bishop Anthony said, "You will offend the Lord..."
Chris said, "What do you mean the Lord God gets angry because of a few words? Doesn't he say he will protect all living beings? Will he stop protecting them because of a few words? Mr. Bishop, are you going to punish me like you treat other people in this town? Will all those who don't obey you respectfully be expelled from the church and be disowned by everyone?"
These words choked Anthony.
Jian Yue was also a little surprised, but he quickly realized why Chris said that.
He was doing this for the mother and daughter. The poor mother had become haggard because of her daughter's illness, and her daughter had been expelled from the church and ostracized by the entire town just because she said a few wrong words. The power of the church was beyond people's imagination.
The bishop's face turned pale. In order to protect his image, he quickly said, "Why would you say that, Your Highness? Our church upholds the principle of caring for all living beings. Since I became the bishop, I have been working hard for the people, fighting demons for them without sleep. I have not had a good night's sleep. If you slander me like this, I..."
He was about to make a threat.
Jian Yue was standing nearby, and suddenly saw a golden light passing in front of him:
【Eight Triggers】:
[Rumor: Since Bishop Anthony took office, his favorite thing is to accept bribes and extort money from the people. He has not slept well because he indulges in pleasure every night and hangs out with countless lovers. The so-called exorcism two days ago was actually to accompany his mistress's newly born child! ]
【Cooling time 12 hours】
As soon as these words fell.
Jian Yue looked at Mrs. Anthony not far away in some surprise.
Mrs. Anthony was standing not far away entertaining other nobles. She obviously didn't hear the gossip, but when she saw Jian Yue's sudden gaze towards her, she was a little puzzled and her face was a little stiff.
What's going on?
Why are you looking at yourself?
Mrs. Anthony was a little hesitant. Could it be that her affair with Karl had been discovered?
The anger on the bishop's face froze. He secretly glanced at Jian Yue and found that Jian Yue was looking at his wife not far away. He suddenly became panicked.
Why are you looking at the lady?
The bishop hesitated. Could it be that his wife already knew about his affair with his lover?
There was clearly only one piece of gossip at the scene, but countless people were in a state of panic, especially Sheriff Carl who had been watching the show on the side. He was originally just a bystander, but suddenly he noticed that Jian Yue was looking at the lady, and the bishop was looking at Jian Yue. When the three of them had very strange expressions on their faces, Carl also panicked.
No way…
Did the bishop find out that I was helping the bishop to have sex with a woman and cheating on his wife? ! !
In such a strange atmosphere.
Only Lord Chris was calm. Lord Chris, who never did anything wrong, snorted lightly. He was not afraid of the bishop at all. He slowly said, "What do you mean?"
The bishop suddenly began to stutter. He said, "I will, I will strictly investigate your affairs. Although it is true that living in the church will provide better care, the princess can indeed receive better care in the manor. Hahaha, your Excellency the Prince is wise. It is my fault for not considering it carefully!"
Although Chris was a little surprised that this person was so easy to deal with today, he still said, "Then I'll trouble you with Daya's affairs in the future. Since I'm here, I'll also participate in the blessing ceremony. However, I'm injured, so I'm afraid it's not easy for me to pray in person. Let my manservant go in with me."
Everyone looked at Jian Yue in surprise.
After all, being able to personally pray to the Lord God for blessings is a privilege only afforded to nobles, and the prince is actually willing to bring his own male servant in. Who is this servant?
Chris looked directly at Jian Yue and said, "Let's go."
Although Jian Yue was a little surprised, he was not stage-frightened. He said, "Okay."
Walking to the bishop's table not far away, there were rows of white candles lit on it, all with a clear scent of nectar. The hall was very large and very spacious, and Qi Jianyue was sure that it was not open to the public. It was estimated that only people with a certain status and power could come in.
After the bishop came in, he took out a booklet and began to recite a series of prayers. Then he opened his hands and said, "The blessing ceremony is complete. The Lord will bless you."
There were also many murals carved in the main hall at the front, but behind these white candles, Jian Yue suddenly noticed the statue at the top. This statue should be carved from white jade, holy and flawless. It depicts a holy sculpture that flutters into the air, like a butterfly. This should be the embodiment of holiness that the people in the small town believe in.
But for some reason, after entering the hall, Jian Yue felt a strong sense of disobedience and discomfort. He felt a little dizzy and paid special attention to this sculpture.
Bishop Anthony was still talking to other nobles about the origin of the sculpture. "This is what the Lord God looked like when he performed miracles. This is his incarnation as a holy messenger, destroying all the demons that wreak havoc on the world and bringing happiness to all of us. Just like the mural behind this, at that time, all humans and demons fought each other, and after they won, we built this statue..."
He said as he spoke.
Jian Yue and Chris stood on one side. Jian Yue always felt that although this hall was holy, it gave him a chilling feeling everywhere, especially when he made eye contact with the sculpture of the messenger of God at the top, he felt a little creepy.
The audience in the live broadcast room was also very excited:
"Fuck, the final boss appears!"
“So fast!”
"This is the first tasker who has stood here openly since the opening of the dungeon."
"I don't know if he can find it!"
The bishop smiled and said, "Now we will begin to bless you. I will sprinkle holy water on you. Those who accept the holy water will receive the blessing of the Lord. Now let's choose someone to come up and receive the blessing."
Just when everyone was making some noise and wanted to be blessed, the audience in the live broadcast room screamed, and countless barrages of comments surged but could not be conveyed.
Jian Yue, who was at the scene, was looking at the sculpture not far away. The stone sculpture was extremely holy. Everyone who saw it would kneel down to worship it. It seemed to have some kind of magic that attracted people to it.
Is this church really that holy?
While everyone was making a lot of noise, Jian Yue stood in the corner. He secretly took out the mirror he got from the attic of Maria's house and shone it at the sculpture.
Next second.
In the mirror, the white jade sculpture slowly changed into a demon covered in red blood, with tentacles covered with scales. Just as Jian Yue held his breath in surprise.
The demon in the mirror opened its eyes and met his gaze.
