Chapter 143 Suspicion
Under the guidance of the friendly light element, Lu Yi stepped into the light, and then his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on the bed in the Vatican's residence in Rosalyuchenko.
There was a faint light outside the window, as if it was dawn, and next to him sat Gary, who had his eyes closed and was resting.
There was a faint dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been awake all night and only closed his eyes for a while near dawn.
But even so, his sleep was incredibly shallow, and Gary would notice almost every time Lu Yi moved.
Lu Yi's movements were very small and made almost no sound.
But Gary still struggled and opened his eyes in response.
He squinted his eyes slightly and said lazily, "Hey, you're awake?"
Gary said this as he reached out and held Lant's exposed white hand.
Lu Yi could feel the fluctuations of magic coming from his palms, blinked and asked: "What's wrong with me?"
Gary took his hand back, glanced at him, and said unhappily, "What's wrong? I should be the one asking you this."
There was no expression on his face, but his hands behind his back were stroking his fingertips calmly.
Lu Yi was puzzled and asked, "Ask me?"
"Why would I ask if I didn't ask you? It wasn't me who was sucked in by the vines!"
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with Rant's magic, Gary picked up the water at hand again.
Instead of handing it to Rand immediately, he held it in his magical hand for a while with an expressionless face, and waited until the water temperature rose before handing it out.
"Thank you." Lu Yi took the water and thanked subconsciously.
"If you have time to thank me, why don't you think about how to explain the whole thing to Bishop Kalai?"
Lu Yi frowned in confusion when he heard this, "What do you mean? Did something happen afterwards... So how did you find me?"
Gary didn't keep the secret and said directly: "We followed Bishop Kalai to the cleanup site, but we didn't do anything.
"Or rather, we didn't have time to do anything. As soon as Bishop Kalai stood in front of the mutant vine, the vine withered instantly, and the next second you appeared out of thin air at the same place.
"And the mutant vine didn't even leave a trace of ash."
After Gary finished speaking, he stood up and stretched his muscles. The collision of his joints made a teeth-grinding "clicking" sound.
He looked down at Lant who was half lying on the bed and said, "The bishop said that the vine is very likely connected to the gap. Lant, you have mistakenly entered the Death Valley, right?"
Lu Yi opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise: "What?"
Rant's surprise was genuine and natural, without any trace of disguise or falsification.
But the more this happened, the more inexplicably angry and dissatisfied Gary felt.
In Lant's eyes, is he no different from everyone else?
He suddenly lost the interest in teasing, and said with a curl of his lips: "If you don't want to say it, I'm too lazy to ask. Anyway, you just need to know what you are doing.
"…It's still early, you should go to sleep."
Lu Yi held the warm cup of water and watched Gary walk out of the room angrily.
[“…Why is he so perceptive? Did Gary see something?”] Lu Yi asked with some concern.
[Impossible.] 857 swore, [If he could see any clues, Alice would become a joke!]
[“Then why is he acting so…”] Lu Yi paused and carefully found an appropriate word, [“Moody?”]
[“——Wait a minute, is he in a bad mood just because he woke up?”] Lu Yi realized belatedly.
[It must be!] 857 suddenly realized.
[“He’s quite dedicated when he wakes up, checking and pouring water, and finally he has a tantrum…”]
This was quite different from the grumpiness he had seen before.
Lu Yi looked at the half cup of warm water in his hand and drank it slowly in one gulp.
[Who says it’s not…]
After Gary's action, Lu Yi was no longer sleepy. After packing up simply, he went directly to the Temple of Morning Prayer.
The statue of the God of Light stands in front of the temple of worship. It has no face, but its majesty and kindness are undiminished.
Lu Yi looked at the jaw of the statue. Chaos' face flashed before his eyes, then Ares' face flashed before his eyes, and finally it stopped at Mios, who was in a black mist and had no human form.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Lu Yi always felt that when he was looking at the statue of the God of Light, somewhere in his soul was getting hot.
Maybe it’s that ghost sign that’s causing trouble, Lu Yi thought.
Although the heat was not enough to burn him, he could not ignore it.
When looking at the tall statue again, Lu Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt.
Lu Yi shook his head and walked quickly into the temple.
Although it was still early, many people had already gathered in the hall. Some were standing, some were kneeling, with their hands clasped together, and their faces were filled with the same piety.
Lu Yi walked lightly and found an inconspicuous corner to stand still.
"Although I don't know what to say, I still praise the God of Light, um, praise Chaos, the Supreme God, glorifies the light..."
By the time he finished this trance-like prayer, it was already bright outside.
There were more people in the temple, and Lu Yi quietly left the temple.
It was just time for breakfast. Lu Yi turned and walked towards the back hall, but his eyes met the man standing in the shadow of the tall pillar.
Kale asked, "Walk?"
Lu Yi suppressed the hunger in his stomach and smiled: "Okay, Bishop Kalai."
Kale was not familiar with Rant, so he naturally could not see the gnashing of teeth behind his smile. He just took him in the opposite direction.
Lu Yi looked at the dining room in the back hall which was getting farther and farther away from him, and felt more and more disappointed.
"Why don't you rest for a while? How are you feeling?" Kale asked.
"Much better. I mean, I'm actually fine." Lu Yi replied, "I didn't have anything else to do when I woke up in the morning, so I just came directly to the temple."
"It would be best if you're alright... I'm ashamed to say that after all these days, I still haven't thanked you for your timely treatment."
Kale's topic changed so quickly that Lu Yi's prepared remarks got stuck in his throat.
He paused slightly, then smiled naturally and said, "Bishop Kalai, that was just what I should have done at the time. I don't deserve any thanks, let alone shame or apology."
Kale smiled but said nothing, thinking that Rant was just being modest.
"In any case, it's a happy thing for the Holy See to have such excellent new blood as you - you will be going back tomorrow, right? If I'm not mistaken, you will be going back to the Holy See the day after tomorrow?"
Lu Yi nodded, "Yes, including the time spent on the journey, we will set off in about two or three days."
The load clearing points created by the attack on Luo Saiqiao have been cleared, and the lack of manpower in the city has been replenished.
As for the mages who came from other city-states to provide support, they naturally had to return to their original places.
To be more precise, it is time for these candidates for the Son of God who came to "experience life" to return to the Cardiffan Archbishopric.
"Then I wish you the results you want in advance."
Lu Yi blinked: "Since Bishop Kalai has said so, I will shamelessly accept your congratulations in advance. Thank you."
Along the way, the two had a pleasant conversation.
The only thing that surprised Lu Yi was that until he said goodbye to Bishop Kale, he did not ask Lant what he had encountered in the mutant vine.
…
Lu Yi’s accident did not last until the next day.
Because that night Father Heller knocked on his door with an apologetic look on his face and carefully asked about the details of what happened at that time.
Lu Yi poured a glass of water for Father Heller and then told the story truthfully.
——Of course, he was telling the version that omitted the existence of Mios.
Except for Mios, every word he said was true.
Heller had no doubt about Rand's words. After listening to his story carefully, he asked a few more questions and stopped after getting answers one by one.
Before leaving, he reminded Lant: "Although there is nothing to do these two days, you should not make things difficult for yourself, okay?
"It's true that Luo Saiqiao is dangerous, but there are some special products in the city that are worth seeing. Tomorrow is market day, so we will set off after dinner. You can go to the market in the morning to buy some novelty items..."
Lu Yi readily accepted Father Heller's suggestion and dragged Gary to join in the fun the next day.
Gary was originally still feeling angry, but he couldn't bear to refuse Rant's rare invitation. In the end, he could only curse himself for being spineless in his heart while following Rant closely.
"Take whatever you like." Galion nodded and said, "I know you don't have much money, so I'll treat you today!"
Now that the ladder was right in front of him, Lu Yi naturally would not refuse Gary's awkward advances.
He pointed to the bread stand set up by the old woman in front and said, "We haven't had breakfast yet. How about you buy two loaves of wheat bread first? It would be even better if there were jam or milk..."
"Oh, I don't know who it is, but he was so excited that he dragged me out without even eating breakfast. Fortunately, this market still has a morning market..."
Gary rolled his eyes, but walked towards the old woman's bread stall with unusual sincerity.
He looked down upon the bread in the old woman's basket, but since Lant had specifically requested one, he did not want to spoil her fun, so he carefully selected a few that were barely acceptable. However, he was still muttering in his heart that he would definitely treat Lant to a big meal when he returned to Katifan.
I don’t know what kind of hard life Rant had in the past, but he was not picky about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Gary bought the bread and turned around to find that Rand walked straight past him as if he didn't see him.
"Rant? What are you doing?!" Gary exploded instantly.
He was such a big person, standing right in front of him, how could he be ignored?
Gary, holding the bread in his arms, quickly caught up with Rand.
"What the hell is going on? Did you see a devil?"
Lant ignored his questioning and walked straight to the stall of a middle-aged man.
"Rant!" Gary said unhappily, "Did you hear me?"
“Ahem—”
A sudden cough drowned out Gary's voice.
The middle-aged man seemed to finally lose control and began to cough violently while patting his chest.
"Ahem, sorry, adults. Ahem, I've been feeling a little unwell lately..."
The middle-aged man was afraid of angering the two important figures in front of him, so he quickly covered his mouth and nose and explained in a muffled voice.
Gary was a little disgusted by the saliva that splashed out of his cough, so he quickly glanced at his rough, dark face and then moved back to Rant.
And Lant still stared at the man who couldn't stop coughing.
Staring at his abnormally swollen neck.
Lu Yi gathered his magic power into his hands and grabbed the middle-aged man's clenched fist.
The seemingly weak and white hand actually carried a strong force that made it impossible to struggle. The middle-aged man loosened his clenched fist when he felt the pain.
The bright red blood on the palm of his hand was thus exposed to them.
