Son of Light 9
Luli said slowly. He saw Singela's face gradually becoming ugly, so he took the initiative to step forward and held his big hand. He squatted in front of him and gently put his face on his legs. His silver hair cascaded down, blending with the man's golden hair, shining brightly in the deserted corner.
When it comes to comforting his mentor, Luli has become very skilled and has mastered the art. He knows how to make a man soften his heart. Luli squinted his eyes and saw that Singela's expression softened, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
He sighed and said:
"You really have learned how to control me. The child has grown up."
Luli rarely laughs, but when he heard what he said, he tilted his head and laughed out loud. After laughing, he let Singela's big hand stroke his smooth hair.
"I can't stay where I am. I need strong strength and sufficient status. Just like you, I also have people I want to protect."
What Luli said was right. Originally, although he longed for life, death was nothing to him. But now it is different. He has a mentor who is very kind to him, Nabe and Theodore who are always by his side, Priest Horn who comes to visit occasionally, and the Pope who always cares about him.
The church has been in turmoil in recent years, and people's hearts are mixed. Although it still appears to be a behemoth on the surface, it has gradually become corrupted on the inside.
After all, even the brightest place will breed darkness. Coupled with the invasion of the abyss, all these things are like leeches on the heels, causing him to often wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and extreme pain.
At this time, he remembered that he had someone he wanted to protect, and desires arose in his heart, which was why he felt fear and terror.
Singela looked at him, his golden eyes revealing a complex meaning. Just as he was about to raise his hand to pinch Luli's face, he heard Luli say solemnly:
"Furthermore, from the day I was brought back, from the moment I knelt at the feet of the statue, I vowed to dedicate my entire body and soul to the gods. As the most devout believer, fighting for the gods is a supreme honor. To achieve this, I must reach the highest level, no matter the cost. Only by reaching that level can I have the power to protect the gods."
Singla's eyes twitched, and the emotion he had just felt disappeared in an instant. He covered his face in frustration, and his dazzling golden hair slid down along with his movements, covering his whispers.
"I really shot myself in the foot. I shouldn't have done this in the first place. Sigh~"
After Luli's constant persuasion, Singela finally gave in and allowed him to go. The Pope even came to ask him if he had changed his personality.
After rigorous screening, Luli was assigned to the Abyss Crusade Team under the Cardinals. Due to his lack of experience and noble status, he was placed in a logistics position. Luli had no complaints about this arrangement, but he suffered from more jealousy and malice than before.
Lord Mortis, the head of the College of Cardinals, is one of the two cardinals of the Church of Light. The other cardinal is Lord Lindy, who manages the Inquisition.
Lord Motes had always been at odds with his mentor, Singla. He would deliberately ridicule him every time they met in the council hall, and he also secretly made things difficult for his mentor. But when Luli wanted to be promoted, Singla recommended him to the College of Cardinals.
Lord Motis, knowing that he was Singra's disciple, did not give him a good face but did not make things difficult for him.
Luli couldn't quite put his finger on the relationship between the two. He just happened to see Mortis and Singla running out in panic after meeting. The bishop, known for his elegance, strode past Luli with a disregard for etiquette, a hint of fear in his eyes, not even noticing Luli's salute...
Luli gathered the memories in his mind and looked at the scene in front of him, but he didn't know what the purpose of this arrangement was.
Looking at the malicious gazes and hostile environment around him, Luli's expression remained unchanged. Since he came out to gain experience, he had to know clearly that this trip was not for fun, but the most real battle.
In the past, others in the Holy See were afraid of his closeness to the Pope and his status as Singela's disciple and did not dare to come openly. But now that he has entered the lower plane, he is at their mercy.
Luli clenched the scepter in his hand expressionlessly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He was not a soft persimmon, and if they really dared to come up and seek death, he wouldn't mind giving them a ride.
Compared to the arrogant and condescending Cardinals, the people in the Inquisition all had a cold attitude. Compared to these two, the people in the Knights Templar were refreshing. Everyone had a smiling face, and they all had tall and straight postures. Their handsomeness made people feel very comfortable when they saw them.
The team was commanded by a senior official from each of the three departments and a magician assigned by the Ministry of Magic. All the people and magicians brought by the three departments were divided into the team.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Luli prepared to embark on a journey. He didn't know when he would come back this time. The speed of time flowed differently in each plane, and communication was impossible, so Nabe cried over and over again until her eyes were red and swollen before she let go of Luli's hand.
On the day he left, Singla did not come to see him off. Instead, he warned him the night before his departure that no matter what happened or what he saw, he should not lose his original intention.
Luli had a vague feeling that he seemed to know something, but when he pressed him, he kept silent and just told him not to go against his heart and stick to his beliefs.
That night, Singela looked at him with an extremely complicated look and an extremely sad expression, which made Luli a little at a loss, and his heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.
Luli, standing on the large plane-moving magic circle, raised his hand to pull the hood behind him to the top of his head and frowned.
The moment the white light came on, Luli seemed to be aware of something. He glanced at the blazing sun necklace hanging on his chest. This was the holy emblem of the God of Light. The holy emblem was made of pure gold and carved into the shape of a blazing sun. At this moment, the necklace was emitting a misty white light, as if waving to the group of warriors fighting for Him.
The white light not only appeared on him, but also on everyone. White light particles filled the sky and fell from the sky, and a miracle appeared.
The sound of kowtows rang in his ears, and countless people worshiped towards the temple with tears in their eyes. Luli looked up at the sky with burning eyes and knelt on one knee devoutly.
Fighting for you is my greatest honor.
----------------
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, six years have passed. Spring has gone and winter has come in Lucia's plane, and the four seasons have changed. Finally, a new spring has come again in the new year.
White doves flew up from St. Noah's Square and the bells of the temple suddenly rang.
Boom boom boom!
