Chapter 198 Treasures
"Wouldn't that make me invincible..." Lu Yi murmured.
"You could say that." Ares nodded.
"Chaos has fallen, and Mios's strength has not yet fully recovered. As long as he is killed--"
Ares paused, with some amusement in his eyes.
"I thought that this person would be Callisto, but now it seems that he is also in vain."
"Callisto?" Lu Yi repeated, "What does this have to do with His Holiness the Pope?"
"...No, everything he did was for the throne of these two gods?"
Lu Yi subtly felt that the image of Callisto in his heart had collapsed.
"He is a very qualified and outstanding Pope." Lu Yi said.
Ares could not deny it and said, "That's just because he is planning something bigger."
"His selfishness, ambition, desire and greed are the worst I have ever seen among humans."
"...Then why did you choose Callisto to be the Pope?" Lu Yi asked, "I thought you would fulfill your promise to the God of Light."
Ares once briefly told Lu Yi the reason why he temporarily replaced the God of Light. It seemed to be just a casual agreement made between Chaos and Him before his death.
But later Lu Yi figured out some other meanings.
Ares is the god of war and killing, but Chaos wants him to replace him as the compassionate god of light.
If Lu Yi didn't have some intention of influencing Ares, he would have written Chaos's taboo word backwards.
But no matter what Chaos had planned in his mind, it seemed to have failed.
It is recorded in the history of the Holy See that His Holiness Pope Callisto was the Pope chosen by the God of Light himself, and his legendary life was accompanied by miracles all the way.
Ares bears the title of God of Light, but he puts those who he calls selfish and greedy into high positions.
It was clear that Ares was not affected by the mercy of the God of Light at all, Lu Yi thought.
Chaos's promise was made in vain.
"Of course I have been fulfilling my promise to Chaos."
"As for why you chose Callisto - don't you think it's interesting?" Ares asked back.
“What I said before is not derogatory. Watching the potential ants climb up step by step can add some fun to the boring time of fulfilling the contract.
"Before him, I had given many humans a chance, but he was the only one who came closest to victory."
The incarnated gods talked about their little toys with great interest, carelessly disguising the fooling tricks as supreme honor and opportunity.
For some unknown reason, Lu Yi asked, "Am I an ant with more potential than him?"
"No." Ares took his hand and placed Lu Yi's fingertips on his head.
The head was Ares's weakness, but he took the initiative to lower his head for him.
"You are the treasure that the Father has given me."
Lu Yi withdrew his hand expressionlessly, but his earlobe was red as if bleeding.
“Oh, I see…”
[“I suspect he is flirting with me.”]
[“But 857, this trick doesn’t work on me.”]
[“I still hope that one day I will be able to beat him.”]
【“Yes, that’s right.”】
Lu Yi maintained a calm and flawless appearance, but his mind was filled with thoughts like crazy.
The voltage of 857, which was forced to mute its microphone, jumped wildly.
It couldn't help but think that Lu Yi was doomed, and his heart was moved.
He kept saying that Alice had changed, but hadn't he, Lu Yi, changed too?
If it weren't for the heart-throb, 857 would punish himself by keeping himself in a small dark room for five hundred years!
No, maybe it should be said that there were already signs of falling in love, 857 thought.
"But it seems that you think highly of Callisto, the human race that is closest to success..."
“That was the previous evaluation.”
"Then who do you think is the closest to success right now?"
"If you mean only to kill Mios..."
Ares paused again, and then smiled in an indescribable smile.
"Perhaps you know Lant Hobbs? I remember you two were good friends."
Ares's casual words suddenly caused a huge uproar in Lu Yi's heart.
Lant Hobbs.
Ares must know something.
The question is how much does he know?
Lu Yi said calmly: "Of course, we are very good friends."
He put on a nearly perfect smile and jokingly said, "I thought you would say that I would be the successful human, but I didn't expect that the successful candidate would be an acquaintance. That's good."
Ares touched Lu Yi's head and said indulgently, "It's very good."
"Then what are Mr. Ares's plans for the future?" Lu Yi asked, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, why don't you stay in Klein Manor to recuperate for a while? We can go back to Braceside together after school starts."
His method of changing the subject was far from sophisticated, but Ares followed his lead and easily turned the previous page.
"There are some other arrangements, but it's not convenient to talk about them for now."
"It's okay." Lu Yi said considerately, "If it's inconvenient to say it, then don't say it."
"Although I'm not here, Lu Yi, as long as you call me, I will appear."
…
Ares came and left in a hurry, as if he really only came to deliver information from thousands of miles away. After giving the information to Lu Yi, he left.
When Duke Klein rushed to the side hall, Ares had already left for a while, leaving Lu Yi sitting quietly on the sofa, thinking about something.
"Where is your godfather and teacher?" asked Duke Klein.
"Gone." Lu Yi answered concisely.
"Leaving so soon?" Duke Klein was surprised. "Why didn't you keep him for a few more days?"
Lu Yi shrugged, "I kept it, but it doesn't mean I can't keep it. The teacher has something to deal with. I can't disrupt his plan, right?"
Duke Klein said regretfully, “That’s right.”
"What a pity! I also want to meet your teacher. What exactly is the ninth level like..."
Lu Yi had a strange expression on his face. "It's something you can never imagine."
Ninth level (x)
No upper limit (√)
"Father, don't even think about meeting him. I'm afraid you'll be shocked."
Lu Yi was still brooding over the previous dispute, and now that he had the chance to mock Duke Klein, he showed no mercy.
But even though it was sarcasm, the intimacy in the words was obvious.
This subtle friendly signal made Duke Klein smile even more, and he gestured to teach Lu Yi a lesson.
"You little bastard, you are making fun of your father! I will teach you a lesson!"
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Yi to just stay there and let the slap come down on him, so he tilted his head back, pushed his legs forward, turned around, and retreated three to five meters away.
"I have something else to do, so I won't accompany my father anymore. Goodbye..."
Lu Yi left quickly, and before leaving, he did not forget to close the door for Duke Klein.
As he left Duke Klein's sight, the smile on Lu Yi's face gradually faded.
[“857, are you there?”]
[Yes, yes, yes!] 857 responded immediately.
[“Did you hear what Ares said just now?”]
[I heard it.]
I heard you two flirting without paying attention to others, 857 said silently.
[“Do you think he knows that Rant is me and I am Rant?”] Lu Yi hesitated, [“I always feel that he might have been testing me just now.”]
He was testing Ares, and Ares was also testing him.
Obviously, they had extremely close and negative distance contact, but they still had their own ulterior motives beneath their skin.
[I don't think so.] 857 said uncertainly, [The deluxe version vest is a complete set of configurations, from the body to the soul, it is all new. Although it is copied from your original body, the two have been independent of each other since the day it was set.]
[Even if Alice is a god, in his opinion, they should be two independent beings.]
[If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, it doesn't make sense for him to suddenly know the relationship between the two of you, right? ]
857 After a lot of analysis, Lu Yi's hesitation still did not subside at all.
Maybe other people would not think about it in this direction at all. After all, the idea that "two independent and completely different people are actually one person" does not make sense from any perspective and it is difficult to associate it with each other.
But that person was Ares.
[“No, I still think he already knows.”] Lu Yi affirmed.
Not only does he know that Rant is related to him, he is more likely to know that Rant is another parasitic body of Lu Yi.
【Why?】857 asked in confusion.
【“Intuition!”】 Lu Yi said without any guilt.
857: ...
[Okay.] 857 was silent for a moment, [You are familiar with him, you have the final say.]
【“Ah, that’s troublesome. I don’t want to think about it anymore.”】 Lu Yi decided to stop there, 【“Anyway, we’ll just take it one step at a time.”】
[“In fact, even if he knew, we wouldn’t have any way to deal with it.”]
There was no point in thinking too much, he might as well think about what Rand should do next.
Rand is facing real internal and external troubles right now.
Passively sandwiched between Mios and Callisto, Lant is not a traitor at all, but a naked scapegoat.
If you are not careful, you will be defeated.
[“Is Rant going back to the Vatican in the next few days?” Lu Yi asked.
857 did not answer, but directly transferred the managed memory to Lu Yi.
Lu Yi browsed the memory managed by the system and nodded: [“Yes, I remembered it correctly. The Vatican’s team will return to Kadifan from Tuowei City the day after tomorrow. It’s just in time.”]
One of the few things Lu Yi did during the holidays was to help Aster with family affairs, and the system hosting could handle these tasks well.
Once everything is properly handled tomorrow, Lu Yi can then change his perspective with peace of mind and devote himself fully to Rand's test.
And the things he had to deal with were not right, and the black-eyed slave he had just withdrawn was one of them.
[“Oh, forget it. Let’s not put it off until tomorrow. Let’s finish today’s work today.”] Lu Yi sighed.
He turned around and asked the servant behind him: "Where did you take that slave just now? Take me to find him now."
The attendant bowed his head respectfully: "Yes."
The author has something to say:
The next chapter is from the slave's perspective, please pay attention!
The next chapter will switch to Lant's perspective, and I'm going to finish the Lant line.
GG, good game, later extended to mean game over, failure.
