Chapter 129 Boyack
Perhaps it was because Lu Yi’s gaze was too hot, Toby swallowed subconsciously.
He stammered, "Specifically... Actually, there is nothing specific... The bishop just talked about the excellent qualities that the Son of God should have, and then said that no matter how many words he said, it would not be as good as our actual action..."
"action?"
"Yes, we will take action, but they didn't specify what the action was. They just divided us into small groups and assigned us a knight squad. They told us to go to the border for some training. I guess it's probably to kill dark monsters and beasts... It will take a total of 19 days, including the round trip. On the 19th day, we will return to the Church for the second round of assessment, and the 20th day will be the final assessment day."
It makes sense. The light wizards have an innate suppression on the dark monsters, and the Holy See has an obligation to support the friendly empire.
Lu Yi nodded and asked, "I remember that the Periya Empire is located in the far north and governs three city-states. Which city-state are we going to?"
Only then did Lu Yi realize why he felt the Perlia Empire sounded familiar.
A month ago, Iyeta, the head of the third grade class at Braceside, led a team to the city-state of Rosewood to perform garrison duties.
The three cities of the Periya Empire are distributed in three directions, and Luo Saiqiao is one of them, which is also the most dangerous place close to the Death River. The remaining two cities are relatively far away from the Death River, and the risk factor is also reduced a lot.
"Boyack." Toby accurately reported the specific city-state. "By the way, the nearby city of Mainz is also the support location designated by the Holy See..."
"So close?" Lu Yi asked in surprise, "Are there any candidates you are familiar with?"
The human territory of the Isaiah continent is extremely vast, and there are dozens of border empires of all sizes.
It is really not cost-effective to arrange the two support sites so close to each other.
Hearing him say this, Toby's expression became a little strange, and he stammered and was unclear.
"...Could it be Xia?" Lu Yi paused.
Toby nodded, as if to comfort him: "Rant, it's okay, you see we are just close, but not in the same support location, so there will be no intersection..."
Although it was unclear what the relationship between Rant and Xia was, Toby had a hunch that the two were not as harmonious and friendly as they appeared.
At least he felt that Rand would not be happy to have too much contact with Xia.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter even if we are at the same support point." Lu Yi smiled at Toby.
It's just a bit unlucky.
Just a few hundred million.
After communicating with Toby, Lu Yi closed his eyes and pretended to take a nap, but he was actually checking the task interface in the background.
[Task name: Close people]
[Task rating: S (Exceeded!)]
[Task evaluation: You are a favored one of God with angels waiting behind you, and you are the divine son who will soon hold power. God said: "Disasters will stay away from you, and suffering will not befall you." The world will all approach you and lift you up, and you will be crowned in glory. ]
[Task Reward: 300 points, C-level item [Eye of the Abyss] x1]
[“Eye of the Abyss? This item sounds interesting…” Lu Yi looked at the item page thoughtfully. [“857 Do you know what is so special about this item?”]
[I don’t know…]
857 took the topic of knowing nothing to the extreme, and Lu Yi had no other way to get information, so he could only give up for the time being.
Eye of the Abyss
The Poyak they were about to arrive at was close to the Death River, which was connected to the Abyss.
Revealing an item called [Eye of the Abyss] to him at this time made it hard for Lu Yi not to think too much.
[Eye of the Abyss], is it really just an ordinary C-level item?
…
It was already the evening of the second day when we arrived in Pauillac.
Outside the city of Boyak, half of the area is yellow sand and the other half is silver snow. The afterglow of the setting sun becomes the third color of this misty land.
On the endless yellow sand covered with snow, their group of people were like aliens from outer space, bringing with them a sophistication and leisure that was out of tune with the entire city-state.
Lu Yi rode a tall black horse, his whole body wrapped in a gray-brown robe, and a very thin scarf covering most of his face, leaving only a pair of amber eyes exposed. Occasionally, a few strands of long hair slipped out from the gaps in the scarf, and they were almost golden in the afterglow.
"...No wonder the bishop repeatedly reminded us to bring both light and thick clothes. The temperature difference between day and night in Boyak is so great! Even a magician can't stand it..."
Toby said this, tightening his robe around him.
"Yes, the sun has just set and the temperature has started to drop sharply." Lu Yi nodded in response.
"Tsk, you can't bear it anymore, are the light elements in your bodies in vain?" Gary said indifferently.
Gary was the thinnestly dressed person in the entire team. This confidence came from his strength as a fifth-level magician. So even though Lu Yi felt itchy when he saw his smug look, he couldn't say anything.
He gave Gary a classic Gary eye roll, and then, ignoring the shock on Gary's face, he looked up at the city-state in the distance.
"Wow, Lant, did you roll your eyes at me just now? You actually rolled your eyes at me! Okay..."
Lu Yi dodged the ball of light he threw out casually and rode his horse to catch up with the team of knights who were leading the way not far ahead.
The number of people sent by the Holy See to each support point was different. Boyak was assigned 30 candidates and 7 Templar Knights, which was considered a large number among the 50 support points.
"Look, Rant, Boyak is ahead." The captain of the knight squad, Machi, pointed to the city gate ahead.
After spending the past few days together, the seven members of the Knights had more or less an impression of Rand. Among them, Captain Machi had the most contact with Rand and had the best impression of him.
Machi was really fond of this candidate with a pleasing appearance, and his originally loud and rough voice was subconsciously softened in front of Rant.
"Has the Captain ever been to Pauillac before?"
Seeing a hint of nostalgia in Machi's eyes, Lu Yi asked curiously.
"I came here to carry out a mission many years ago." Machi nodded. "Boyak is still the same as I remembered. He hasn't changed at all... That must have been more than ten years ago, right?"
With an inexplicable desire to show off, the young vice-captain poked his head out and said, "In ten years, Boyak hasn't changed at all, but the captain has changed from a handsome young man to a rough old man..."
"You little brat, be careful or I'll beat you up!"
The walls of Boyak are made of huge gray magic rocks, which are several times higher than the city walls of the Central Empire. From a distance, they seem majestic, but when you get closer, they give off an indescribable desolation.
Lu Yi dismounted at the city gate and looked up at the unusually tall city wall in front of him.
The gray magic rock should be dark gray, but the city wall shows two colors. The base of the city wall is dark and dirty black, and the dark black meanders all the way up and finally gradually turns into a little dark gray on the top of the wall.
"…Is this the blood of a monster?" Lu Yi asked softly.
"Not only that, but also the blood of humans." Machi stared at the city wall and said, "The Death River, the flow is the flow of quicksand, and also the flow of blood..."
"The hole that broke through the air is connected to the abyss, and it can only be blocked with blood."
Ma Qi withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and rode past Lu Yi.
"Let's go into the city."
It was the first time that he did not speak softly in front of Rant, but his loud and rough voice carried a barely perceptible hint of sadness.
Yellow sand filled the sky and the fallen snow turned into frost.
The last ray of afterglow faded away, and March's voice echoed in the empty yellow sand, leaving nothing behind.
…
The Vatican officials stationed in Pauillac took them to the church.
Along the way, people in the city all looked at them eagerly, and many even prostrated themselves on the ground, making the sign of the cross on their chests in silent prayer.
Lu Yi led the horse and followed in the middle of the team.
At this time, the sun had completely set, and the wind was blowing inside and outside the city, but the number of people on both sides of the road did not decrease at all. Instead, more and more people joined in.
The priest who came to pick them up pulled down his dusty veil and advised them, "Go back. It's too late. Don't stay outside any longer. Come to the church tomorrow, okay?"
"Father Heller, we won't follow! If we don't follow, let's just stand here and watch! We promise we won't cause any trouble..."
"Yes, Father! We will definitely leave before dark. We just want to take a look, to see the grace of the Holy See. God of Light is above, only the Holy See will care about our life or death..."
"May the God of Light bless you, may the God of Light bless you..."
Father Heller tried to persuade them to stop but to no avail, and could only watch helplessly as the crowd grew larger and larger.
"Let's move faster--" March urged loudly as he moved through the team.
Fortunately, although the crowd was reluctant to leave, they did not follow them. They just watched them leave in devout silence.
"Do you feel that the people of Boyak are very pious and enthusiastic?" Father Heller walked in the team and talked to the people around him.
"Are you talking to me?" Lu Yi pointed at himself.
Heller nodded, and a kind smile appeared on his weather-beaten face.
"Young sir, you look like an extremely gentle person."
Lu Yi was somewhat flattered, and said with eyes wide open: "Thank you for your compliment..."
For people in the Vatican, gentleness is indeed the highest praise.
"Is this your first time in Pauillac?" Heller continued.
"Yeah, it's obvious right?"
"It's very obvious." Heller smiled. "If Pauillac is yellow sand, then you must be honey, sweet wine, and the flowers in front of the courtyard of the Archbishop..."
"Forgive me. Actually, I have never been to the Vatican, but I think it must be a very beautiful place. The courtyard must be full of colorful flowers, right? Maybe there are flowers blooming in every season? Pauillac can't grow flowers, but I have seen them in the paintings of traveling merchants and minstrels. They are very, very beautiful..."
Lu Yi concealed his bitterness and said with a smile: "Yes, the Grand Vatican is full of flowers, and there is a large osmanthus forest. When it blooms, it is beautiful and fragrant. It is not the kind of sweet fragrance, but a cold fragrance. I think you will like it..."
As he spoke, his voice gradually faded and finally he fell silent.
At this time, Lu Yi began to regret why he did not have the habit of carrying sachets like other nobles.
Heller seemed to notice Lu Yi's annoyance, and smiled and changed the subject: "I have strayed from the topic again. You see, this is what happens when people get old. They lose track of the topic while they are talking..."
“The followers of Pauillac are very devout believers,” Heller stressed.
“But, my Lord, pardon my presumptuous remarks, but I sincerely hope that you will know that there are only two kinds of people in Pauillac, those who are devout and pious, and those who are…”
"He is a rebellious rebel." Heller looked at Lu Yi deeply.
The author has something to say:
