Chapter 163 Western Fantasy 27 Dangerous Confrontation
Not long after Jon left, Lu Huai received a notice from the divine servant.
This was a handsome young man of the same age as him. He was obviously nervous when he saw him and stammered as he conveyed the instructions.
"Your Majesty, the Pope wants you to come see him. He has something important to discuss with you."
"Okay." Lu Huai knew in his heart that this was a Hongmen Banquet, but he had no reason not to attend.
He wasn't supposed to know about the discussion surrounding this matter, so he had to pretend to be unaware of it.
Then, when the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
Lu Huai did not tell Sino that his situation was critical; he wanted to solve it quietly by himself.
He made an agreement with Him that day: "From now on, unless he takes the initiative to contact him through the mark, He will not drag him into his own world without permission." Having obtained the hard-earned freedom, Lu Huai will never break it easily again.
But he was also quite sad. The last time he faced the interrogation of Amodia, it was his "accomplice" Byers, but now, it was him who could not escape.
Lu Huai walked very slowly along the corridor which used to be so short.
Countless scenarios of how he would face Amodia flashed through his mind, but these thoughts were so intricately entangled that when he actually faced her, his lips only trembled slightly.
"Let's sit down and talk."
Amodia, who treated him like a teacher, did not speak bluntly and directly to the point as he did with Biles.
Instead, he seemed to show the tolerance and understanding of an elder and invited him to play a game of chess first.
His chess skills were all taught to him by Amodia, and his strengths and weaknesses were readily apparent to his opponent. To Lu Huai, this was a meaningless "warm-up," but that didn't stop Amodia from acknowledging the pleasure of doing this with him.
Lu Huai picked up the chess piece nervously.
Amodia seemed to be giving in to him, and contrary to his usual aggressiveness, he played very conservatively.
After a while, Lu Huai no longer wanted to think about whether the other party was deliberately setting him up to eat the fish for nothing.
The attack was swift and fierce. Even though his "Queen" had been sacrificed in exchange not long after the start of the game, he did not stop even after the opponent reminded him.
The game gradually entered a white-hot stage, and Lu Huai was getting closer and closer to the dawn of victory. He saw that most of his chess pieces had entered the territory of Amodia, almost surrounding the opponent's "king".
Then, those marginal chess pieces of the opponent, which he hardly noticed, began to hunt, devouring his elite ones one by one. In the end, he was unable to hold on alone, and only the lonely king and a few soldiers who could only do odd jobs were left.
"Do you want to go on?" Amodia untied her hairband, and a golden waterfall flowed from her fingertips, almost flashing into Lu Huai's eyes for a moment.
"No need, you win, I admit defeat." He clasped his fists.
"Then let's talk about the feeling of playing chess and review the whole game."
"Okay." Lu Huai nodded and took the cup of tea that Amodia poured for him.
This move, without any concealment, is an open conspiracy.
He stared at the translucent tea in the porcelain cup for a long time, not really wanting to drink it.
But Amodia kept looking into his eyes.
Not only did he drink his own cup in one gulp, he even raised it towards him deliberately.
"Good tea, the Lord of Atuo City probably doesn't drink it more than a few times a year."
“I only share the best with you.”
Lu Huai could only put it to his lips and let the liquid flow into his throat, even though it was not as spicy as he had imagined, which could burn his trachea. On the contrary, it was indeed as the Pope said, a rare and delicious taste.
"The feeling of attack, isn't it fascinating?" Amodia moved the chair closer to him, almost the same as sitting next to him at the dining table.
"Yes." Lu Huai's hands grasped the hanging robe sleeves, and wrinkles appeared under his hands.
"A chess piece that has been suppressed all day long, when it finds an opportunity to strike back, often becomes like a wolf cub whose life is threatened. Even at the risk of having its throat bitten off first, it will continue to follow closely and make the opponent pay the price.
Especially in a dangerous environment, even if he already has his own place, he will take a gamble to return to the wolf pack."
"I wonder if Lu has ever seen this kind of monster."
"The look in your eyes just now is very similar to it. Both are very, very beautiful."
Amodia was smiling the whole time, and his words were like a knife cutting into his heart, while his posture was as steady as a mountain, which made him lose his temper.
"I'm sorry, I'm not very smart and I really haven't seen it before. Besides, I really don't understand what you are saying." Lu Huai clenched his fists and squeezed out a word.
"It's okay. I know you're tired..."
"I didn't--" Lu Huai said this, and his body suddenly fell down uncontrollably. Everything in front of him began to double, naturally including Amodia who was closest to him.
Before he completely lost consciousness, he felt an arm passing through his waist and picking him up horizontally. After that, he had no memory of anything.
When he woke up again, Lu Huai found himself back in his room.
The first thing he wanted to do was to go outside and get to the bottom of it all, but he was stopped by the person at the door.
Sean's eyes flashed with apology. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The Pope said that there have been treacherous spies roaming the Vatican recently, and you must not be harmed. Please rest well in your room. Someone will bring you food when it's time for dinner."
"I have something to talk to him about." Lu Huai's expression was obscure. He tried to break through Sean's barrier, but was trapped in place by the magic circle that had been set up.
Seeing him being thrown back to the edge of the bed by the recoil of the magic circle, Sean stepped back distressedly and bowed to him: "I will report this to His Holiness the Pope. Please don't worry."
After this incident, Lu Huai also fully realized that although he was protected on the surface, in fact, everyone involved knew that this was a disguised house arrest.
He was practically locked in his room, with extremely limited space to move around, and even his meals had to be delivered by a special person.
Occasionally, the Pope would condescend to play this special role, but Lu Huai, the owner of the house, did not welcome it.
When the familiar tall figure appeared with a stronger light, Lu Huai's depressed mood did not change.
"Why aren't you eating again? This isn't a good habit."
Amodia often used his compassionate and gentle face to coax and deceive, and stretched the spoon straight in front of Lu Huai's mouth.
Lu Huai sat there indifferently, as if the person in front of him and what he did were no different from air.
According to 0359, his host has already mastered people's minds to a certain level and is now fearless.
As expected, Amodia did not get angry about this, but patiently hung the object in his hand elegantly on the bowl.
"Child, do you have any hidden secrets or do you need help from the teacher?"
"You can tell me everything."
What Lu Huai wanted to do most at this moment was undoubtedly to spit and add a sentence: "Hypocrite, put away your hypocritical appearance."
Unfortunately, he absolutely cannot do that, and he even needs to maintain the appearance of peace.
Otherwise, he knew that his fate would not be much better than those corpses in the forbidden area whose bones were crushed and scattered into ashes.
After witnessing something firsthand, one realizes how dangerous and ridiculous naiveté can be. Lu Huai didn't dare to bet on how many sinister and vicious methods were hidden under Amordia's handsome face that always smiled.
Amodia lowered his eyes slightly, changed the subject silently, but the point was pointed directly and sharply.
"Is there a connection between you and the Dark God?"
Lu Huai was surprised to feel that the device in his body that helped convert energy was failing, and the full picture he had deliberately concealed was gradually exposed.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing, just trying to pick a lock."
"He was willing to use such a priceless treasure on you. No wonder my god couldn't identify you."
Lu Huai was shocked when he heard this. He still used respectful titles when referring to the gods, but the content and tone of his words did not seem to fit the image of a loyal believer in light.
Amodia was so different from what he had imagined.
Lu Huai tried hard to resist, but all the joints in his body were blocked by Amodia, and he could not stop his retreat.
Finally, under the gaze of Amordia, he was unable to break free, lost his balance due to the huge conflict of elements, fell heavily to the ground, and revealed his original form in dejection.
The outermost layer of the sacrificial robe had a pre-set formation. He was originally a human, so the design of the clothes did not reserve space for the extra part.
The thin lining that Lu Huai was wearing was torn to pieces by this sudden change, and in an instant it turned into tattered pieces of cloth.
When the fair and smooth skin suddenly appeared before his eyes, the glare was so dazzling that the instigator's movements were indeed paused for a moment.
As for Lu Huai, he knew that almost everything was over. He didn't know which was stronger, shame or despair. The Pope was truly malicious. Instead of dealing with him with his usual decisive and quick response, he was instead being brutally tortured.
"Lu, I've known for a long time that you're a smart kid. I just never imagined there would be so many surprises I didn't know about. The tail, the wings, such a special shape. Succubus? Or a hybrid?"
No wonder, really no wonder... He went back and thought over and over again why he had such a lack of self-control that day. After all, she was someone he was not very familiar with, and no matter how charming she was, she would not make him lose his mind.
However, all things are most afraid of getting a taste of the marrow. The touch that they have never tasted before was induced by the people in front of them. Due to too many restrictions, Amodia had to forcibly suppress the spark.
Now, knowing that Lu Huai was not as perfect as he had originally thought, he really wanted to do something excessive.
Amodia's right hand grasped the tip of the tail, his fingertips hooked around the concave part, and he controlled it delicately.
The tail that usually shows off in front of its owner was suddenly tossed around and became dizzy, and then became meek and content with the status quo.
His tone remained calm and harmless, but the specific content of his words gave people an indescribable sense of threat.
"That's a really good hiding. Lu, watching the people around you anxiously running around searching for the dark side's spies, are you secretly laughing in your heart?"
Amodia stroked Lu Huai's chin, as if teasing a cat that was unable to escape.
Poor Lu Huai's spine was stretched unbearably, and the incompletely developed wings on his shoulder blades timidly poked out, but his mouth remained stubborn.
"I didn't... I'll accept whatever treatment I deserve. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."
"Don't torture me like this."
Little did I know that at this moment I was emitting a kind of desolate sweetness, even my breath was so fragrant that it seemed to be alluring.
"My God and other colleagues in the Holy See will definitely not tolerate you, but I am not sure."
"I also have the right to decide how to deal with you, Lu Huai."
When Amodia forcibly lifted Lu Huai's chin, his posture was as majestic as a painting, and what he said sounded as beautiful as the sacred chanting of Sanskrit.
Only his pair of black pupils stared intently, seeing through the hidden selfish desires behind all the high-sounding things.
It's not that the saint cuts his flesh to feed the eagle, but he has other intentions.
"I'm different from them. I believe in education for all. Any living being that is educated is not bad."
"I will teach you well until you have completely cleansed the sins that flow through your blood and truly and sincerely exist as a member of our team."
Lu Huai laughed miserably. He didn't believe that Amodia and his subordinates could really tell whether the dark creatures had committed evil deeds. He saw with his own eyes that the vampire who had just been embraced was nailed to a silver cross together with his blood giver. The setting sun that day was as red as blood.
All his energy was locked up, and the only thing he could mobilize was his penis. So, after making up his mind, he quickly lowered his teeth and took action on his tongue.
Unexpectedly, Amodia noticed his trick and did not use magic. Instead, he placed his index finger between his teeth, allowing the powerful force to make his finger bleed.
"Her teeth are quite sharp."
The golden-red blood that did not belong to him did not have the fishy smell he had imagined, and even had a light floral and woody fragrance.
Lu Huai's pupils shrank and he opened his mouth subconsciously. His lips, already stained with blood, were extremely gorgeous and even more tender and tempting.
"How does my blood taste?"
Amodia seemed to have no sense of pain, and his injured finger lightly touched the two fangs that had committed the greatest crime and gouged out the bloody eye.
"That's really naughty of you, Lu. But it's okay, the teacher is happy to see a different side of you."
