Chapter 149: Letter of Submission
"So, how are you going to pledge your loyalty to me?"
How to show loyalty?
Lant looked deeply into Mios's crimson eyes and said, "I don't know how to prove all the faith and loyalty I am willing to offer you. Humans' actions are weak and their words are powerless.
"I want to dig out my heart so that you can see if it beats for you - only for you, but I am afraid of the abyss of death.
"Yes, I fear death, because I don't know if I can enter your kingdom. Eternal Night, I have not paid anything for my faith, how can I be qualified to enter the Kingdom of Eternal Night? But if I were to fall into the abyss of death, my ears would not be able to hear your words, my eyes would no longer be able to see your authority, I..."
Rant leaned forward, his long golden-brown hair covering his half-closed eyes.
The slightly trembling eyelashes were also vaguely visible, making it difficult for Mios to see clearly.
His divine power and authority have not yet fully recovered, and due to the constraints of the rules, Mios cannot fully understand the thoughts of the little believers.
He could only vaguely see that Lant's soul was beginning to change, turning red bit by bit.
It is an extremely bright and dazzling red, the color of desire.
Under the call of Mios's divine power, the spell hidden deep in the soul emerged again.
The purest white was covered with dark spells, and was also dotted with the bright red of desire.
Even though there are protections of rules, He can see everything clearly.
Mios suddenly burst into laughter.
How do you offer your loyalty?
Bet your soul and put everything you have on the table.
Dance with the devil, eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and say: Satan tempted me①.
What is naked is not the physical body, but the awakened desire.
Lant was trembling under the throne, but Mios' laughter was getting louder and louder, even seeming a little crazy.
"I recognize your loyalty and want to reward you!"
Mios stretched out his hand, and a crimson apple appeared out of thin air in his palm.
He said, "Eat it, and you will be able to call upon me in the future."
Under Mios's gaze, the apple slowly floated in front of Lant.
The deep red apples were bright in color and full in shape, and the appearance alone indicated that they were juicy. They were so perfect that they seemed dangerous.
But Korant did not hesitate for a moment. He stretched out his hands and held the "devil's fruit" without hesitation.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the fruit.
The flesh is dark red, and Lant's light pink lips are stained by the extremely red juice. The tip of her tongue and her pearly teeth, which appear and disappear from time to time, are also soaked in bright red. In the dim light, she looks extremely seductive.
Mios seemed to smell the decaying aroma in the air.
He watched silently as Lant finished eating the fruit, his eyes focused and seemed to be filled with affection.
But how can an evil ghost be described with deep affection?
This gamble was destined to have only one winner from the very beginning.
"May the glory of the eternal night last forever—"
Mios nodded with satisfaction and slowly told the story of his original plan.
"Rant, you are the most special."
"I have seen your loyalty, but you must stay in the Church for me. You must become the most unexpected chess piece and my sharpest sword."
Hit the softest part of the Vatican.
It even became the last straw that broke the camel's back for His dearest brother.
"And this gift is my token of loyalty to you."
…
Lu Yi suddenly sat up from the bed.
His forehead was wet with sweat.
Lu Yi turned his head and looked out the window. It seemed that snow was falling in the dark night.
Very quiet, very dark.
He was sitting silently on the bed, breathing uncontrollably, as if nothing else existed except the sound of his own breathing.
The whistling wind and the sound of falling snowflakes were like the tide, slowly moving away from him.
He swallowed the devil's fruit and was exiled into eternal night.
But the next second, a whistling sound was heard.
[Lu Yi Lu Yi, what's wrong? ]
857 The chirping sound of the machine came clearly. Lu Yi reached out to lift up the hair on his forehead, shook his head and said: [“Nothing, just a nightmare.”]
Although he often disliked 857 as an artificial idiot, at this moment in such a dead silent night, Lu Yi was suddenly glad that there was at least such an artificial idiot around him.
[Oh, so...] 857's voice suddenly stopped, and then he said in horror, [I think I had a nightmare too!!!]
[Oh my god, what is going on? ? Am I still not awake? ! ! ]
[“…You are an artificial idiot, why do you want to wake up? Don’t be so startled. Just tell me what happened.”]
857 swallowed a mouthful of cyber saliva and said tremblingly: [Go check out my personal page! Check out Rand's! ]
Lu Yi frowned and opened the panel of the vest.
He was slightly stunned.
After receiving the blessing from the God of Light Chaos, Rant's character panel had changed once.
Only one element, light (darkness), remained of the seven elements. Although the affinity with the element of light was already maxed out, it still received a significant breakthrough and improvement.
The elemental attributes after blessing at that time are: Light Affinity 200/100 (Dark Affinity 100/100)
Now, the only remaining value is: Light Affinity 200/100 (Dark Affinity 222/100)
There are a few more lines of small buff text below.
[S-level buff blessing: You are the beloved son of the god recognized by the night, the dark saint after the advent of the eternal night. He is watching you and responding to your every call. ]
[Buff description: In a summoning array without a clear summon target, the chance of summoning [Dark God - Mios] is increased to 5%. In a summoning array with a clear summon target of [Dark God - Mios], the chance of summoning [Dark God - Mios] is 99%! ]
Lu Yi stared at these lines of small words, and several thoughts turned in his mind.
He was still thinking about what this "Dark Saint" was like when 857 spoke up: [Dark Saint, does Kaka know that he's been cheated on?]
Lu Yi was shocked by 857's bold statement and shuddered as he said, "...Are you talking about Callisto or Chaos?"
It can't be Ares!!
[I feel like there is no difference between these two options.] 857 said sincerely.
[“Indeed, there is not much difference…”]
Lu Yi lay back on the bed. The little light coming in from the window was far from enough to illuminate the room.
857 saw that he seemed to have anticipated the situation, and knew that he had an idea in mind, so he stopped asking questions.
In this dim light, Lu Yi closed his eyes.
In a daze, I slept for a while intermittently.
But this short, fragmented sleep is not peaceful.
The bizarre dream haunted him for the entire second half of the night, but when he woke up, nothing was left.
Lu Yi had no extra time to waste, and after waking up, he threw himself into his intensive work.
The second day's work was more complicated than the first.
All residents in Luo Saiqiao City who had not been infected with the disease were moved out of the city. Half of the remaining people were confirmed to be infected with the disease, and the other half showed various stages of symptoms.
Before a real solution to the Black Death appeared, they could only use the holy water sent by the Vatican to keep the patients alive.
But holy water is limited.
"...The holy water sent by the Vatican is running low again." said Luo Saiqiao's priest.
"There are fewer people alive." The person behind the priest whispered.
The priest pursed his lips, but his hands moved in an orderly manner.
He distributed the holy water potions according to the original ratio, along with the reduced amount, and finally distributed the wooden baskets to each team.
Almost everyone who came to get the basket lifted the cover at the first opportunity to check the number of holy water potions in the basket.
The cold bird-beak masks hid their expressions, and no one asked why the potion was running low again.
Because this is not the first time that holy water has been cut.
Lu Yi and the other two members of the team stood outside the door, quietly waiting for Andre to go in and get the medicine.
People who came to get potions came out one after another. Although they were wearing the same black robes and masks, they still recognized the tall Andre in the crowd at a glance.
"Captain! We are here!" Team member Jamie waved.
Andre, a tall and strong man in a black robe, strode towards them carefully carrying a small wooden basket.
The first thing he said was, "The holy water potion is low again!"
"Missing again?!" Helena exclaimed and immediately stepped forward to take the wooden basket.
She lifted the gray cover and silently counted the number of potions in the basket.
"Why are there only ten?" Helena started to cry. "There are so many people! How can ten be enough? This... How is this different from asking them to die?!"
Helena was the most emotional member of the team. She thought her tears had already dried up when she saw off her teammates and the patients she had taken care of one after another. But when she saw the ten lonely holy water potions in the basket, she couldn't help feeling dizzy.
"Ten... Why don't you ask the priest for a few more? We are responsible for the patients with the most serious conditions! Some of our relatives are even among them!" Helena clutched the wooden basket tightly, tears in her eyes.
When they were cleaning up the remaining gaps, they were responsible for cleaning the outermost mission points. Now that the Black Death has broken out, they are still responsible for the most seriously ill patients.
Andre avoided her gaze and whispered, "Let's go."
Jamie held Helena down and patted her shoulder to comfort her silently.
"It's okay, Helena, everything will be fine, the God of Light is with us..."
In this situation, Lu Yi didn't know what to do. He was in a panic and finally found a piece of candy in the space ring.
He wasn't sure if the candy bar would help, but at least the sugar was pleasurable.
Rant clenched his fist and placed it under Helena's gaze, as if imitating exploding fireworks, and a "bang, whoosh--biu" sound came out of his mouth.
He deliberately pinched his throat and said in a funny way: "Oh, beautiful lady, would you like to taste the magical candy that the magician Lant specially prepared for you?! It is said that this magical candy can bring good luck to people!"
"Beautiful lady, would you like to try it? Please try it... The poor magician has never been able to successfully send out a magic candy!" Lant said pitifully.
Helena said nothing, but finally accepted the ordinary "magic" candy.
The eye holes of the bird-beak mask were small, but she could still see the silent concern in the light amber.
The author has something to say:
I was delayed for a while today because of something, so the update time from now on will be fixed at [9pm]! ! ! !
①: The story used here is a very famous allusion in the Bible. Eve and Adam were tempted by Satan who turned into a snake and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and were thus driven out of the Garden of Eden.
