Chapter 128 Departure
"I was wrong." Callisto chuckled, "The angel of God teaches his followers to be like a deer drinking water, so there is nothing to worry about.
"But there are so many believers, and everyone has his own destiny. Why waste precious time on disciplining believers who break the rules... There are many relics of the gods and relics of miracles stored in the museum. I think you might be willing to come with me to visit?"
Callisto spoke in a calm tone with a smile in his eyes, and his attitude was so approachable that it was irresistible.
But what Lu Yi saw was not his intimacy.
It is an indescribable sense of ease that places one above everyone else.
This ease made him appear particularly calm in front of the gods who exuded a holy aura, and he did not feel at all inferior.
Just relying on the flesh of human beings.
The more convinced Callisto's eyes were, the more strange Lu Yi felt inside.
Along with all the signs he had discovered before, the guesses he had once forgotten became clear again.
[“857, do you think Callisto has already guessed the fall of the God of Light?”]
But that doesn't make sense, after all, there is Ares, the false god of light and true god of killing in the shell of the god of light.
Callisto must have noticed something strange, but he couldn't come to a conclusion because of Ares's presence.
[I don't know either. The backend log does not have full permissions for him.] 857 answered honestly, [But I know the time limit for this divine descent is coming soon. 61, you should hurry up and prepare for the landing...]
【“What?”】 Lu Yi froze, 【“Time limit?”】
He was careless!
Limited-time mission cheat code, limited-time mission cheat code, now that the mission is completed, the limited-time cheat code will naturally expire!
[“How many minutes are left?”] Lu Yi looked at Callisto and asked 857 nervously.
[Five seconds...] 857 closed his eyes, unable to bear the sight.
【“……!”】
[“…Why don’t you just wait until it’s completely ineffective before reminding me!”]
Lu Yi closed his eyes, and the last thing he saw was Callisto running towards him.
…
The stern-faced six-winged god was indifferent to his proposal.
Callisto was not angry and still had a faint smile on his face, but some tentative thoughts arose in his heart.
Angelic race.
He has already stood at the pinnacle of the human race, but how does he compare to the angels and gods who have been lost in the long river of history?
The angelic race named "God"——
Callisto stared closely at the light golden eyes of the six-winged god and was about to open his mouth to test it.
But before he could finish his words, the six-winged god suddenly closed his eyes and fell straight to the ground.
Callisto was stunned for a moment, then quickly leaped forward and caught the falling person steadily.
The pure light power surrounding the six-winged god began to slowly fade away, and the light on his body gradually became dim. The wings behind him turned into points of light and dissipated directly into the air.
His golden hair also turned golden brown again, and his eyelashes, which had just been shining, solidified into a solid color. Under the gaze of everyone, he gradually lost his god-like appearance and finally returned to being a human.
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Holiness..."
A group of bishops came forward, Callisto nodded slightly, turned around and handed the unconscious Rant to the personal guard knight behind him.
"It's nothing serious, just continue with your preparations as usual."
Jacob hesitated when he heard this, but finally gritted his teeth and asked under pressure: "Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly. Do we need to postpone the departure date to tomorrow? An extra day will also allow the candidates for the Son of God to rest for a while..."
"Oh, my dear Jacob, perhaps you have just been transferred back to the Grand Vatican from a remote place, and you are not aware that the candidacy for the Son of God only lasts one month. If you delay your departure now, the subsequent work may be delayed."
"But the second stage lasts for a full twenty days! It won't cause any delay if we start half a day later, and the weather..."
Callisto looked up at him and interrupted, "Jacob."
Jacob immediately bowed his head respectfully, "Your Majesty——"
"Your mission has been accomplished. The Holy See will remember your outstanding performance."
He understood the Pope's implicit meaning and could only bow to hide the bitter smile on his face.
"Yes, Your Majesty, may the Holy See's holy glory last forever, and may the God of Light bless you..."
Callisto nodded, glanced at Lant, and turned away.
…
…
When Lu Yi opened his eyes again, he was lying in a not very spacious carriage, with a familiar candidate next to him.
Seeing that Lu Yi woke up, the candidate immediately came to his side happily and gently helped him up.
"Lantlant, you finally woke up!"
"Toby... where are we?" Lu Yi sat up and looked inside the carriage in confusion.
The candidate, Toby, scratched his head and explained, "We are on our way to the Perlia Empire now. You woke up just in time. We will have dinner soon..."
"Perlia?" Lu Yi frowned slightly, turned sideways and pushed open the small glass window on the carriage.
"Yes, the Perlia Empire near the border, although it is just a small border country with no reputation, it is at least a country under the protection of the Holy See..."
It was already dusk, and the light outside the carriage was dim, with half of the light blocked by the figures of the people on horseback.
Lu Yi looked at the crowd and his eyes met Gary's unexpectedly.
Gary was not far away from the carriage, and when he saw him, he rode his horse directly close to the carriage.
"Rant, how are you doing now?"
"I'm fine..."
Gary nodded and said in praise, "I'm glad you're okay. I didn't expect that you look so thin, but you're actually quite strong. I thought you were going to sleep until sunset tomorrow!"
The corners of Lu Yi's mouth twitched slightly, and he reluctantly regarded it as a compliment under his admiring gaze.
"Reach out your hand," Gary continued.
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow, but still extended his hand without asking any more questions.
Gary placed a small cube in his palm.
"You've been unconscious for so long, try to get rid of the taste in your mouth." Gary snorted, as if he wanted to complain about something but stopped himself.
Lu Yi blinked, peeled off the candy wrapper and put the candy in his mouth.
Still grape flavored.
The candy that Gary gave him also had a grape flavor. Although it tasted far inferior to Ares's candy pills, it definitely made his bitter mouth feel sweet.
Lu Yi's mood also became much happier.
He put on a smile and jokingly said, "Thank you Gary... Why do you carry candy in your pocket every day?"
Is this what it means, the harsher you curse someone, the more you like them?
He looks like a devil who is always complaining about everything, but in fact he is a cute little girl who always carries candy with him?
Gary rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "If you don't eat it, you will vomit. I will feed it to the dog."
"Eat, eat, eat, eat...Anything else? There wasn't any grape flavor last time."
"Oh, you're still picking it up, who cares about you?"
Although he said that, Gary rolled his eyes, took out all the grape-flavored candies in his pocket, and threw them into the car accurately.
The corners of Lu Yi's mouth curled up, and his eyes curved into amber crescents.
"Thank you Gary~"
Gary's movement towards the reins froze, and he snorted softly and rode his horse further away. In the dim twilight, Lu Yi did not see his red earlobe.
Lu Yi withdrew his head from the window, picked up the candies that Gary threw into the carriage, and then gave a few pieces to another candidate, Toby, in the carriage.
"Rant, Gary is so nice to you!" Toby said, pinching the candy.
"Really?" Lu Yi laughed when he heard that. "Did you see the way he rolled his eyes at me just now?"
So many whites of the eyes!
Lu Yi dared to bet that Gary was definitely the person who rolled his eyes most accurately that he had ever seen in his life!
"No..." Toby shook his head. "Rant, you haven't seen how Gary scolds other people. Compared to his attitude when he talks to you, it's totally different!"
Due to his outstanding family background and good talent, as well as consideration of his own image, most people would avoid Gary's cold shoulder and just pretend not to see it.
"And Rant is so gentle to Gary..." Toby added in a low voice with envy, not sure whether he was envious of Rant or Gary.
"Come to think of it, I still don't know what happened before. I was knocked down by the Archbishop on the stage and then I opened my eyes now... Why are we going to the Perlia Empire? Is this the second stage of the assessment?"
After a brief conversation, Lu Yi finally turned the topic back on track and asked in confusion.
"Oh! Yes! Rant, you don't know yet!" Toby slapped his head and suddenly became excited.
"Really! Rant! Are you the one favored by God?!" Toby asked in surprise.
Lu Yi blinked, but did not answer directly: "What? Why do you say I am favored by God?"
"Hey, Lanter, I know you want to keep a low profile, but don't hide it from me! Everyone knows that you are a person favored by God!"
"What?!" Lu Yi pretended to be surprised and asked, "What, why are you..."
Toby thought he had hit the nail on the head, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Didn't you ask me what happened after you fainted? I'm telling you, an angel from the Protoss descended through your body! God of Light, that's a six-winged angel! A term that only appears in history books!"
Toby became more and more excited as he spoke, and even held Lu Yi's hand tightly.
"Have you ever seen an angel, Rant? You must have!"
Lu Yi tried to pull his hand away, but it didn't move.
He could only look up at Toby.
Toby's cheeks blushed under his gaze, then he let go of his hand with a smirk.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Rand, I didn't mean to..."
"Yeah, it's okay, just keep talking..."
He just wanted to know the second stage assessment task! !
"Ok, ok..." Toby stammered.
He took a deep breath and continued, "After the angels came, they severely injured the bishop who had attacked you. You didn't see that the cardinal was bleeding from all seven orifices. It was so tragic! Then His Holiness the Pope also showed up. They chatted for a while, and then the angel left, and you fell into a coma..."
"Hmm, then what?"
Seeing that Lu Yi seemed to not care at all about the cardinal who hurt him, Toby couldn't help but feel some admiration in his heart.
No wonder he is favored by the gods! He is far from being able to match such an open-minded person...
"Then there was nothing much. The other bishops just talked about the time and tasks for the second round of candidates. After we sorted out the locations, we set off directly..."
Here comes the point!
Lu Yi perked up and asked, "What are the details?"
The author has something to say:
The second stage is over and the selection of the Son of God is over. It is Lu Yi's turn again. Stick to my wives qwq
