Chapter 134 Signal
…
"...I'm suddenly glad that you're participating in the selection of the Son of God instead of the selection of the Knight." Machi said in a trance, "I was still hesitating about where to arrange you. Now, you can go anywhere..."
God of Light, God knows how shocked he was when he saw Rand just now.
In just one night, Rand has undergone such a drastic change.
Even if it is a forbidden technique, it can't be so immediate!
He had been working for the Vatican for so many years and had seen many strange stories, but he had never heard of anyone being able to jump four steps in one night. No matter how bold the story was, he would not dare to make up such a story.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, March would never have believed it.
Gary on the side resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Come on, you are so bold. It would be a waste if this kind of talent were put into the Knights of the Holy See. Not everyone is like that person, always holding on to the brainwashed ideals given by others."
March was unhappy to hear this. He thought last night that Gary was different from those other arrogant nobles, but he didn't expect that this guy's true colors would be revealed the next day!
"You are insulting the honor of a knight! Is there any difference between ideals and beliefs? The character of a knight is not acquired through boasting or brainwashing. You cannot degrade others as the ideals above life! Even if you are a noble..."
Gary gave him a standard aristocratic perfunctory smile and interrupted, "I'm sorry, but please don't take it personally. In fact, I haven't said anything yet!"
He really couldn't agree with some of March's views. He was used to arguing with everyone, so he didn't care about March's ugly face and walked straight past him to the front of the team after he finished speaking.
When passing by Lu Yi, he did not forget to say, "Lant, follow me."
"His mouth should be sewn shut, Captain. Just let Gary's words go in one ear and out the other. Don't get yourself mad."
Lu Yi was not interested in getting involved in the argument between the two. He whispered something to comfort March, then turned around and walked towards Father Heller at the back of the team.
Perhaps yesterday's events had shocked the candidates, and many people gathered around Father Heller, all listening to him talk about precautions with extreme care.
Noticing Rand who had mixed in with the candidates beside him, Heller winked at him calmly and continued to tell his story dutifully.
"Although the Death River Gap is not active recently, everyone should still be careful. No one can guarantee that the next active period will not come tomorrow... Not only will there be more gaps during the active period, but the monsters that escape from the gaps will also be more powerful and difficult to deal with..."
He spoke seriously, and Lu Yi, who came over, also listened attentively.
There are always discrepancies between the monsters recorded in books and reality, and the value of experience is needless to say.
At least for the rest of the day, there were no more casualties among the candidates' team.
Their mission is not that complicated. The candidates are divided into teams according to their varying strengths and deal with some common monsters.
Lant was just an apprentice magician yesterday, and Machi had some selfish motives, and wanted to put him and Gary in the same team. Gary was a fourth-level magician with a rich family background, and he liked Lant, so he would take care of him more or less.
Who knew that plans could not keep up with changes? Overnight, Rant was promoted to the fourth level, and Machi could no longer assign two fourth-level magicians to the same team.
But he was worried that Lant's foundation would be unstable after he hastily reached the fourth level, so he discussed with Heller about assigning him to a stronger team in the Boyak Church.
By the time the sun had set and all the teams except the night watchmen had returned to their homes, Lant had already gotten along very well with the team members. They huddled together, talking and laughing as they walked back to the church.
One day may be short, but it is enough for the team to get to know Rand roughly and truly accept him.
When passing a fork in the road, the captain of the team slowed down.
"Look!" The captain motioned for Rant to turn around. "Those are the people from the Magic Association! They love to wear cloaks!"
Lu Yi turned his head to look in the direction the team captain was pointing, and immediately smiled.
"Captain, those are Bleedside's school uniforms. They should not only be members of the Magician's Association, but also students of Bleedside."
How could people from the Magic Association like to wear cloaks?
Those people were clearly wearing Braceside's winter school uniforms, and each of them had a Braceside's thickened, super warm cloak!
Lu Yi subconsciously looked down at the clothing prepared by the Holy See for himself, and saw at a glance the complex patterns belonging to the Holy See on it.
The symbol of St. Dov is derived from that of the Holy See, and the two styles are very similar.
Lu Yi looked up at the group of Braceside students walking away, and felt inexplicably guilty.
Well, that's Lu Yi Klein's college, what does it have to do with Lant Hobbs?
"Oh, I see!" The captain showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "I was wondering why there are still some people in the Magic Association who are doing something special and not wearing cloaks. I originally thought they just don't like cloaks and are causing internal divisions! The Cloak Cult and the No Cloak Cult!"
The deputy captain next to him held his forehead and said jokingly, "Our captain suffered from not having enough education. Not only can he not see that the cloak is the school uniform, but he also teaches with the cloak! You think it's more reliable to split the academic and non-academic factions!"
The captain nonchalantly retorted, "You're still blaming me? Don't you know that the cloak is a school uniform? It's our little Lanter who has a lot of knowledge and speaks well, unlike you two who just want to irritate me all day long!"
As the captain said this, he stretched out his hand and restrained the young deputy captain under his sturdy arm muscles.
The young deputy captain immediately let out a strange cry.
The two's funny actions made everyone in the team laugh.
Lu Yi also laughed, but after laughing he felt a little sad.
The task of clearing the gaps and monsters is so heavy, how can they have the extra time and energy to care about what others are wearing?
Or "is it" and "where does it come from" have no meaning to them at all.
When they have some free time, making fun of the "Cape Army" is a trivial pleasure in their tired lives.
“Home!”
The young deputy captain's eyes lit up when he saw the church not far away.
"Let's go! Let's celebrate Lant joining our team, shall we have a drink?!"
"Let's go! We have to drink!"
[“857, prepare some hangover sobering supplies for me…”]
[Okay~]
…
Lu Yi slept unexpectedly soundly that night.
When he was half asleep and half awake at night, Lu Yi seemed to hear some quarreling noises, but since 857 did not sound the alarm, it was probably not a serious matter. He turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
Have a good night's sleep.
As soon as he opened his eyes the next day, 857, who was on the melon-eating front line, enthusiastically reported the news.
[Lu Yi, Lu Yi, you will never guess what happened last night! ! ]
Lu Yi skillfully tied her hair into a high ponytail and urged, "Hurry up and tell me. Don't keep us in suspense."
Rant is good in every way except his long hair which is really hard to take care of. He has to sleep five minutes less every morning to comb his hair.
[Aren’t there many candidates dissatisfied with their living environment?] 857 questions.
[“They are making a fuss? Let me guess, do they still want to stay at the lord’s house?”] Lu Yi raised his eyebrows.
This was within his expectations.
After all, many of the candidates are of aristocratic birth and have outstanding bright talents. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have lived a life of luxury since childhood.
It was only a matter of time before the conflict over the shabby house broke out.
It’s just that Lu Yi didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
[Yes! And what's even more shocking is that when those people were making a fuss, they accidentally discovered the affair between the two candidates! ]
[Those candidates definitely didn't discuss it with the others before making trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have happened to run into them when they were passionately making love in bed! ]
[The scene at that time was extremely embarrassing! Even if I were an artificial intelligence, I wouldn't dare to watch that scene a second time. It's no exaggeration to say that Captain Machi's face turned blue! ]
[You know, burning homosexuals to death in the Vatican is not just empty talk...]
[At the end of this farce, the priest came forward and promised to go to the lord's castle at dawn to discuss the issue of borrowing a place to stay, while the knight captain directly reported the two unlucky candidates. It is estimated that at noon, it will be announced that the two of them have voluntarily withdrawn from the candidacy for the Son of God. ]
[If you ask me, those two candidates were really unlucky. In the end, the candidates who caused the trouble happily achieved their goal, while they became cannon fodder.]
Lu Yi nodded in agreement and said casually: [“So I have to find a way to replace Callisto and take down the Church before I get burned to death!”]
After all, he is also a homosexual, and he might be sanctioned by the Vatican one day.
When Lu Yi arrived at the equally simple and unpretentious small restaurant to have breakfast, there were indeed fewer candidates.
After a rough calculation, he found that almost half of the candidates had left.
This number is even greater than Lu Yi estimated.
Lu Yi was a little surprised when he saw Gary, and teased: "You didn't move with them? That's rare!"
This person is one of the candidates with the most distinguished family background.
Gary sneered, "Is there any difference between living in a cow pen and living in a sheep pen?"
If the Lord of Pauillac heard him compare his castle to a cowshed and sheepfold, he would probably faint in the cowshed and sheepfold!
Lu Yi gave him a thumbs up, "That's an idea!"
However, whether it was the candidates who despised the simple residence or the unlucky young couple, they were just short-lived topics of conversation among the people, causing a few ripples on the vast lake of Pauillac, but soon returned to calm.
Their daily routine is still to kill endless monsters and burn endless bonfires when they return home at night.
Lant, a half-baked fourth-level magician, has gone from being flustered at the beginning to being proficient now, and his cooperation with the team members is becoming more and more tacit.
As time went by, the candidates gradually adapted to life in Pauillac.
Everything is going in the right direction.
Four or five days passed like this, and then something unexpected happened.
When everyone was gathered around the bonfire and preparing to say goodnight to each other, fireworks suddenly exploded from the northeast, causing all the people from the Boyak Church to stand up suddenly.
Machi also looked in the direction of the fireworks with a serious look.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Lu Yi asked puzzledly.
Without looking back, Machi said in a deep voice: "...This is a signal from the Holy See for help."
"And that direction is Luo Saiqiao."
Luo Saiqiao, the most dangerous place close to the Death Valley.

Rand, some vests that overtake on the curve (thumbs up)
