Chapter 124 Sugar Cubes
"But have you ever thought that I won't just stand here waiting for you?" Lu Yi said calmly.
"If I really become the Son of God, then we are destined to take two different paths."
Wavelin was stunned, "Rant..."
"If you give up such a good opportunity just because you don't want to leave Saint Dover and don't want to say goodbye to me, then you are truly stupid."
"Everyone must be responsible for their own choices. I'm only advising you this time." Lu Yi looked at Wavelin deeply, turned around and walked back to the bishop.
Rant turned around without any hesitation, leaving only the ends of his golden brown hair brushing the corners of his clothes.
Wavelin's hand holding the scabbard moved slightly, but he finally followed him in silence.
Seeing the two men coming forward, the two bishops and the Knight of Judgement also stopped chatting.
"Well, Wavelin, have you thought it through?" Jacob asked in a friendly manner.
Wavelin still subconsciously looked at Lu Yi, and when his gaze was ignored, he lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Of course, you don't have to feel any pressure or burden. Whether you go or not, I understand and support your choice."
"I'll go," Wavering replied in a low voice, "Bishop, I've made up my mind. I'll go."
"Thank you to the Holy See for giving me such a good opportunity. I will definitely train well and will never let the Bishop and the Knights of Judgement down."
Wavelin's answer instantly relaxed the originally slightly unpleasant atmosphere.
Jacob's smile became more obvious. He patted Wavelin on the shoulder and said, "I knew you would make the right choice. You are more dazzling when holding a sword than when holding a magic wand. Come on, just follow Warren later..."
Wavelin nodded and obediently walked to the side of the Judge Knight Warren.
Warren achieved the purpose of his trip, but did not leave immediately.
Unexpectedly, he attacked Lu Yi in a flash before anyone could react.
“Buzz——”
The scabbard collided with the arm with a dull sound, and Lu Yi looked up in surprise at the Knight of Judgement who was holding the giant sword.
The distance between them was already close, and the attack came so fast that even though Lu Yi reacted extremely quickly, he still had to block it with his arms.
Although it was attached with magic power for defense, the scabbard still made his arm numb.
"Oh! Warren, what are you doing?" Jacob immediately grabbed Warren's scabbard and asked in surprise.
Warren stared at Lu Yi and said to himself: "You have a very fast reaction and strong arm. You can predict the direction of my scabbard in an instant, which shows that you are also good at swordsmanship."
"What's your name?" Warren asked.
Lu Yi held his arm, narrowed his eyes slightly and replied: "Me? My name is Lant, Lant Hobbs."
"Rant," Warren repeated, "Rant, do you want to join the Order of the Judges and become my student?"
Before Lu Yi could say anything, Jacob on the side became anxious.
"What are you doing? Warren, you are not doing this right. This is the preliminary selection of the Son of God, not the preliminary selection of the Knights!"
"That's right!" Another bishop also supported, "Lant is the seeded player that our Bishop Jacob is optimistic about. How can you poach him?!"
Jacob calmly pinched the bishop, and his gaze towards Warren seemed friendly, but in fact it contained pressure.
"Warren, the pre-selection of the Son of God is the highest level of the Vatican's selection work at the moment..."
"No matter what level of pre-selection, the choice should be made by the person himself." Warren said calmly, "Bishop, you are not Rand, how can you answer for him?"
"Rant, if you come to the Order of the Judges, you will be my successor."
Lu Yi was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. He watched as the three prominent figures in the Holy See argued fiercely over his future destination.
The three men couldn't reach any conclusion in the argument, and finally they all looked at him, with the same eagerness flashing in their eyes.
"Rant, what do you think?"
"Rant, you want to stay in the Holy Son pre-selection, right?"
Warren and Jacob spoke at the same time.
"Uh… I'm sorry."
Seeing Lu Yi apologize to Warren, Jacob breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately...
He had just received instructions from the cardinal a few days ago, saying explicitly and implicitly that His Majesty was satisfied with Rand. If he let him go right away, he would have no chance of keeping his position as the Archbishop of the Vatican.
Rand may not become the Son of God, but he must have been eliminated in the final stage, and it must not be because of him that Rand was eliminated early.
This is their unspoken rule.
"My Lord, you should know what the candidate robes on me mean." Lu Yi smiled and said, "I am different from Wavelin. I am here for the Holy Son."
"Okay." Warren nodded. "I wish you all the best."
After receiving a rejection, Warren unexpectedly did not try to persuade Lu Yi to leave and quickly accepted his choice.
"In that case, I have nothing else to do. I'll go first."
Warren nodded to Lu Yi, then turned and left quickly.
Jacob was confused by his reaction and hesitantly asked the bishop beside him: "...Is he angry?"
"Probably not." The bishop replied, "I have met Warren several times before, and he is a quiet person. I was surprised to see him talking so much today..."
"That's good." Jacob nodded and turned to look at Lu Yi, "...I'm sorry to have kept you here for a while. Go train with the other candidates, Rand."
Lu Yi looked helpless, "Bishop, they are still using the crystal ball now."
Train together?
What are you training for? How do you detonate a crystal ball?
Lu Yi had to wait until the candidates completed their crystal ball training before joining the free battle training.
"Oh yeah, look at my brain, you sit next to me and wait..."
…
After Waverin left, Lu Yi completely lived the life of a lone wolf in the temple.
Although there were always people who wanted to interact with him, Lu Yi himself had no intention of making close friends, and even the most harmonious interactions always remained superficial. After many times, other candidates understood what he meant and would not keep pestering him.
The only exception was Gary.
Gary himself is very different from the great nobles that Lu Yi had met in the past.
He spoke with a sharp tongue and always looked as if he was dissatisfied with the whole world, but occasionally he would say one or two unusual words that made Lu Yi think deeply.
Lu Yi could still regard it as a coincidence once or twice, but if it happened too often, it would become inevitable, and his evaluation of Gary continued to rise.
Some people are used to playing the pig and eating the tiger, and they wear a mask that is easily looked down upon. No one knows what kind of evil they are hiding in their stomachs.
Gary seemed to have figured out Lu Yi's temperament and kept getting closer to him, stepping on the edge of his indulgence.
By the time Lu Yi reacted, he was able to knock on Lu Yi's door very calmly and occupy the vacant table and chair of Wavelin.
Just like now.
"...So you came to me late at night just to give me candy?" Lu Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
He picked up the small box of candy in his hand and looked at it carefully.
This small box is not big, but the workmanship and pattern are extremely exquisite. It is estimated that its value far exceeds the candies inside.
"Then don't eat it!" Gary rolled his eyes at him and said stop eating but his hands didn't move at all.
He leaned back in Wavelin's chair and muttered, "Do you know how hard it is to get this little bit of candy? I had to smooth over the relationships within the Vatican, and I had to find the nuns and temple servants who were responsible for purchasing... This little bit of candy in your hand is more expensive than gold coins!
"If you ask me, there's something wrong with this person from the Vatican. He doesn't allow me to bring anything. Even things like candy have to be checked at every level. Is he afraid that I will use this small piece of candy to blow up the temple?"
[“857, help me check if this candy is poisonous? It’s not mixed with any laxatives or other drugs.”]
[Wait a moment.] 857 said quickly, […It’s OK, 61, there are just ordinary sugar cubes in this box, nothing else.]
[“Okay, I understand.”]
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the candy, Lu Yi relaxed his vigilance.
Lu Yi lifted up the small box and shook it, and the sound of candies colliding came from the small box.
"Thank you for your hard work. It's amazing that you still want to share it with me..."
He originally thought that Gary came to see him from time to time simply because he was bored, but now it seems that there might actually be some friendship involved.
After all, tomorrow is the first assessment day, and it’s hard to say that Gary coming to give him candy at this time is not to make him relax.
Friendship between people is really mysterious.
Who would have thought that two people who had a quarrel when they first met could become good friends.
As Lu Yi spoke, he opened the box, took out a piece of candy, half-peeled it, and handed it to Gary with a smile on his face.
He just wanted to cover Gary's mouth, but he didn't expect Gary to jump up from the chair, and the chair fell backwards with it.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yi said, feeling quite amused.
"...I'm telling you not to touch me! I won't buy it!" Gary blushed and shouted.
Lu Yi was helpless and speechless at his excessive reaction. After picking up the chair that he tripped over, he sat back in his own chair.
"Are you used to being scolded by others? Can't stand seeing other people's good faces?"
"Then don't worry about it! Just accept the candy and don't try to please me..."
"Fawning?" Lu Yi blinked, "This is not flattering."
He peeled off the half-opened candy wrapper in his hand a little more and put it in a position where he could easily eat it.
Facing Gary's inexplicably nervous gaze, Lu Yi approached him calmly.
The distance between the two began to close to an ambiguous point.
Lu Yi and Gary are about the same height, and when they stand facing each other, their eyes are at the same height.
So Gary could clearly see his thick eyelashes, light amber eyes, and his own reflection in them.
"Gary, do you want some candy?" He stretched out his hand holding the candy to Gary's mouth. His slender fingers looked even whiter and more delicate than the candy.
Gary stood there in a daze, and for some unknown reason was about to open his mouth.
However, Lu Yi turned his wrist, threw the candy directly into his mouth, turned around and sat down in his chair leisurely.
He looked at the stunned Gary and said, "See? This is called flattery. I peeled a piece of candy for you and my tail was raised to the sky..."
"Fuck! Damn——" Gary came to his senses, couldn't help but curse, turned around and slammed the door.
He seemed to be walking in a hurry and fell at the door.
When Lu Yi saw him slamming the door, his face looked a little cold, but after hearing the sound of him falling, he couldn't help but smile.
"It's your turn!" Lu Yi whispered, standing up and preparing to close the door.
Whether it's being sharp-tongued or arrogant, he won't tolerate it.
He needs to have a good rest before tomorrow's test.
Although the assessment will not eliminate any candidate, it is still related to the final comprehensive score.
Without saying too much, at least we have to be able to suppress West Asia, right?
When Lu Yi walked to the door, he found that Gary had not left yet. He was standing at his door with a stern face like a door god, apparently waiting for him.
"...What? Are you going to stand at my door all night?" Lu Yi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"How is that possible?" Gary snorted. "If you hadn't come out, I would have considered my trip a waste. It doesn't matter if I occasionally show my kindness. After all, it was my own fault for choosing such an ungrateful person. I can't blame anyone else..."
Lu Yi was amused by his indirect criticism and said with a smile, "Are you going to curse again?"
"You don't really think I made this trip just to give you candy?"
Lu Yi glanced at him sideways, and his eyes narrowed slightly when he realized that he was about to talk about serious matters.
"What do you mean?"
Gary did not continue to answer, but rubbed his elbow and shouted: "Oh, I don't know which servant is responsible for the hygiene of your door. Why is it so slippery? I forgot what I wanted to say..."
Lu Yi didn't say anything. He just pinched his arm and began to cast healing magic.
His light power is powerful, and his healing magic has a smoothness and warmth that no one else can match, just like smoothing a kitten's fur or lighting a fireplace on a winter day.
Gary almost sighed because of the comfort of this healing magic.
"Tomorrow is the assessment day," he said.
"I know." Lu Yi replied.
"It's the work of a villain. You should understand that the reason why a home court is called a home court is that it has advantages that an away court cannot compare to."
Lu Yi whispered: "...Xia?"
"Uh-huh." Gary shrugged. "Let's go. I hope you have a good test tomorrow."
Gary didn't answer directly, but the implication of his consent was self-evident.
"Yes, you too." Lu Yi said.
Is this a villain's doing?
This description is quite apt.
