Chapter 112 Roll of Eyes
Du Weibenwei still thought he was right, and looked at the two of them with more disdain.
Lu Yi was about to say something when another soft voice came from behind him.
"How can this be called greed? On the contrary, I think this is their deep admiration and respect for Your Majesty."
Xia, who was surrounded by several people, slowly walked up to them. After saying this, she smiled and nodded at Lu Yi.
The silver-haired, blue-eyed man rolled his eyes even more when he heard that. He glanced at Xia and said, "Where did you come from? You think sitting is too comfortable and you have to walk around? Are you trying to make yourself known? Do you think you can win someone's favor by doing this? What are you thinking? Who are you?"
His words were simple and straightforward, and the other candidates who had been paying attention to them all cast thoughtful glances at Xia.
Xia's smile froze for a moment, and then she said naturally, "Actually, you don't have to make such malicious assumptions about me. We are all candidates for the Holy Son, and we should love and help each other."
"That's right! Why do you speak so harshly!" the person following Xia said indignantly.
The silver-haired, blue-eyed man sneered at his words and continued, "Come on, just tell this to the people in the Vatican. We are all candidates for the Son of God, so we should be stricter with ourselves and each other... Love and help each other? If you quit right then and there, maybe I can love and help you! But can you do it?"
The man paused for a moment, and when Xia didn't respond immediately, he sneered, "How sanctimonious! Then why are you pretending to be so sanctimonious with me?!"
The man's merciless words completely wiped away the smile on Xia's lips, and there was some grievance in his eyes.
Lu Yi was originally a little unhappy about being accused by the man for no reason, but when he saw the man's indiscriminate attack and directly said that Xia was autistic, he immediately laughed.
Looking at the silver-haired, blue-eyed man again, he felt that he looked much more pleasing to the eye.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The words that were stuck in Lu Yi's throat immediately changed.
He looked at the silver-haired, blue-eyed man sincerely, and before Xia could speak, he said earnestly, "I suddenly came to my senses, my friend, what you just said is so right! You have awakened my unconscious greed.
"Whether it's magic or something else, it should rely on one's own accumulation and hard work. The blessing from His Holiness the Pope is a blessing. We should praise his kindness when we receive the blessing, but this does not mean that we can think crookedly and always think of taking shortcuts."
Lu Yi's words stunned Taber and Xia beside him, but the silver-haired man with a look of disdain softened his expression.
He gave Lu Yi an approving look, as if to say "this young man is teachable", and his voice became much gentler, "Not bad, you do look like a candidate..."
It was not enough for the man to say this, he moved his gaze to Xia who was frozen on the side, and rolled his eyes silently again, his disdain evident in his words.
This polar reversal left Xia completely speechless, with a breath stuck in his throat.
"I'm Gary Randolph. What's your name?" The silver-haired, blue-eyed man raised his head towards Lu Yi.
"Lant Hobbs."
Gary frowned and muttered, "Hobbes? I've never heard of this last name..."
Lu Yi smiled when he heard this and explained, "The Hobbes are not some great noble family, but just a poor family in a remote small country. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."
His smile was frank, and Gary then discovered that he had a pair of extremely beautiful light amber eyes.
His figure was reflected in those light amber eyes, as bright and clear as a pure stream or the reflection of a lake.
His appearance was obviously not eye-catching, but these unremarkable facial features formed an extremely harmonious face, which made Gary, who had seen countless beauties, couldn't help but be moved.
"Then you are lucky. Even the archbishop has to give some face to the Randolph family." Gary said.
Lu Yi's eyes widened when he heard this and he asked, "Are you going to protect me?"
Gary gave him a beautiful eye roll and said briefly: "Love and help each other."
Sia, who was standing aside, was touched by his "love and help" and couldn't help but say, "My name is Sia, Sia Klein!"
The Klein family is a well-known and prominent family in the entire Isaiah continent. As a member of the Randolph family, Gary should have been courteous to him.
Compared to Rand who spoke in a dejected voice, they are naturally on the same front!
Gary's emerald eyes narrowed and his gaze slowly moved to Sia.
"Talk to me about your last name? Are you qualified?"
The corner of his mouth raised a trace of contempt, and he opened his mouth and said silently: "A bastard."
Xia's face turned pale instantly.
Gary didn't bother to explain further.
If the people standing in front of him today were the other young Kleins of the Klein family, Gary might have restrained his temper and been more polite.
But standing in front of him was Xia Klein.
In the truly top aristocratic families, who wouldn't know that he was an illegitimate child?
Among this group of people, only Rand is more pleasing to his eye.
"Let's go." Gary stood up. He was half a head taller than Xiya. "The Knights Templar are leading the way."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight past several people and headed forward.
Lu Yi also stood up, looked at Xia a few more times, and comforted her half-heartedly: "Xia, we love each other and help each other."
Xia's face was pale and blue, and he said reluctantly: "Thank you for Lant's comfort, I'm fine..."
Lu Yi smiled at him, "I can see that... The Templar Knights ahead are urging us, I'll go ahead."
He turned around quickly, fearing that he would not be able to control his expression and laugh in front of Xia.
Love and help each other.
puff.
What a hell of a joke.
…
The candidates were guided by the Knights Templar to a small square.
Lu Yi was mixed in the crowd, with Gary in front of him, Weverlin who found him halfway beside him, and Xia who had regained his smile behind him.
"...I really want to compete with the Knights Templar." Wavelin sighed, "Their knight swords are so enviable."
Lu Yi followed his gaze and looked at the Knights Templar not far ahead.
The Knights Templar were all tall and straight, and looked very handsome even with helmets covering their cheeks. The uniform armor and knightly swords added a touch of uniform temptation.
"This is not the Knights Templar, this is the Vatican's men's group..." Lu Yi sighed in a low voice.
"Ah?" Wavelin didn't hear his words clearly, and asked in confusion: "Lant, what did you just say?"
Lu Yi shook his head. "I didn't say anything. I just sighed that their knight swords were so cool."
Straight straight.
"Yeah! I think so too. The swords of middle-level knights are so luxurious, so shouldn't the weapons of high-level Templars be even more powerful? No wonder so many people are trying their best to join the Church..."
Waverin looked at the stern-faced Knights Templar with envy.
Before awakening his talent, his biggest dream was to join the Vatican and become a Knight Templar.
From a certain perspective, he accidentally took a different path that led to the same destination.
Under the orderly guidance of the Knights Templar, the candidates stood still.
Lu Yi observed the distribution of people in the small square.
Basically, they were serving Temple servants, with a team of Holy Sisters and a team of Templar Knights who brought them here.
The only cardinal standing in front of the small square was a familiar face.
It was Archbishop Gunn, who had met Lu Yi several times.
Gunn, dressed in a ceremonial robe, held a booklet in his hand, put his hands in his pockets and looked at them with a smile.
"My friends, I am here to assign rooms to you. The Holy See has prepared a room for two people for each of you candidates. If there are friends among the candidates, you can register with the Holy Sister on my right to live in the same room. Of course, if you come alone, don't worry. Please believe that the Holy See will make the best arrangements! The Holy Sister on the left will record your living habits one by one and match you with the most suitable cohabiting partner.
"Although there is only one candidate for the Son of God, I still hope that each of you can gain something during your time in the Holy See. This will be a memorable time. May the God of Light be with you!"
“Thank you Archbishop!”
"Praise the Bishop!"
As soon as the archbishop finished speaking, the candidates gathered in groups of three or four and walked towards the holy nun on the right to register as roommates.
Gary turned his head and looked at Lu Yi behind him, "You..."
"He has a roommate!" Wavelin said vigilantly.
Gary was stunned for a moment and said speechlessly: "Did I say I wanted to invite him to be my roommate? He doesn't have good eyesight or hearing, right?"
Although he did have some thoughts about inviting Rand to be his roommate, Gary still felt uneasy because the man in front of him looked like he was guarding against thieves.
Lu Yi tugged at Wavelin's sleeve, pulled him behind him and explained, "He's not good at talking, and he didn't really mean that. Gary, just assume he didn't say anything. What did you call me for?"
Gary felt even more uncomfortable when he saw him pulling Wavelin behind him, and his inner feeling turned into dissatisfaction.
"Nothing..." His unhappy face was filled with arrogance, and his tone became longer and more arrogant. "I just want to remind you that the Holy Son Selection Competition is secondary in the end. The will of the God of Light is the most important."
Lu Yi nodded, "...but I still don't understand, if it is according to the will of the God of Light, why do we still need to hold the Holy Son Selection Competition?"
Wouldn't it be better to gather all the candidates for the Son of God together and let the God of Light choose directly?
"Do you really think that God's miracles are easy to come by? You know, even some popes don't get a response from God in their entire lives, let alone a little Son of God."
Lu Yi suddenly realized, and then he realized that he had taken things for granted.
It’s all because of Ares always hanging around in front of him!
