scepter

Yannick watched this scene speechlessly, already vaguely guessing the instigator in his heart.

"Don't you like it?" A question came from behind, and he knew who it was without turning around.

However, the silver-haired priest still turned around. This action almost broke the already sore waist. This kind of situation is not considered an injury at all, and even the healing technique does not work.

"I'm more inclined to give you a punch." The priest sneered slightly, expressionless. "Your Excellency Chris, are you ready to bear my wrath?"

Chris was puzzled by the invisible anger emanating from the priest: "But "Teach You How to Catch Love" said: Sending flowers after sex will surprise the other party. I prepared these flowers all morning."

Yannick rubbed the center of his eyebrows, only to feel his head hurting even more: "I'm not a woman!"

Chris: "What does the man like?"

Yannick: "You are a man yourself, you don't need to ask me this kind of question!"

Chris: "Oh, I like the forbidden books in religious libraries, but I can't get them right now."

Yannick: "...I don't want it either, thank you!"

"Then what do you want, I can find it for you." The mage in black looked at him very patiently, as if looking at a vexatious child, which made the priest not only a headache, but also a toothache.

"I think we need to re-clarify the relationship between each other. Listen, Chris, you have saved me a few times and taught me a lot of magic knowledge. In my mind, you are my teacher and friend, worthy of my respect , not like it is now," Yannick gestured, "this chaos."

"Teacher, friend," Chris digested his words, and then expressed understanding, "This is not in conflict with a lover, and if you like alternating roles, I have no objection to playing all three roles at the same time."

"...That's not the point at all, okay?" Yannick felt that the combat power of those priests and mages was simply not one-ten-thousandth of Chris's, because he was able to deal with those people with ease, but when facing Chris, It was almost crying and on the verge of collapse.

It's like a joke I heard in my previous life: You talk to him about the national conditions, he talks about integration with you, you talk about integration with him, he talks about the national conditions with you.

The problem is, dear Lord Chris, he is not pretending to be stupid, it's just that his brain waves are not in the same space as normal people!

A moment of silence for our Priest Yannick!

"Then what's the point?" The mage in black looked at Yannick with a look of "don't get excited, it won't solve the problem".

The silver-haired priest took a deep breath, and showed his self-cultivation in facing everyone's difficulties in a temporary meeting and fighting with others: "The point is, what happened last night was just an accident..."

"But then you enjoyed it too," Chris pointed out sharply.

"..." The corners of Yannick's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he managed to finish what he wanted to say. "As I said, I don't like coercive tactics, and if our relationship goes public, it will damage both of our reputations."

Chris thinks this problem is easy to solve: "Then it's better not to make it public."

Yannick: "..."

The mage in black observed his expression and felt that the priest was not very satisfied with the answer: "Okay, I think I understand what you mean."

Yannick finally let out a long sigh of relief: "That's really great."

Mage in black: "As long as the relationship is not under coercion, you can accept it, right?"

Yannick: "..."

Seeing his uneasy expression, the black-clothed mage added blankly: "Yesterday was the first time, next time it will make you feel better."

Yannick didn't want to say anything anymore, no matter if he got angry, sarcasm, or other reactions, they were all like being hit on cotton. The most important thing is that he didn't pretend to understand, but really understood.

What can you say to such a person?

His back was so sore that he couldn't bear it anymore. He turned around and brushed off the petals on the sofa, let his body sink into the soft cushion, and adjusted his sitting posture a little, hoping to make himself more comfortable.

Chris noticed his abnormality: "It still hurts?"

"...Or would you like to try it too?" The priest smiled.

One hand was stretched out to his waist, and he rubbed it slowly and forcefully. Yannick resisted the desire to almost groan out of comfort, pressed that hand, moved his body away, and said cautiously: "I feel that in our Before the relationship is clearly clarified, it is best to keep a certain distance.”

The mage in black raised his eyebrows, but did not express any objection, and of course, did not express any approval.

Rubbing his forehead, Yannick decided to get down to business first. Even though his relationship with Chris was a bit awkward, whether it was Master Fan or Cardinal, it was obvious that Chris, who had been through life and death together, was more reliable.

"Today, I was called to attend an impromptu meeting about resisting the invasion of undead."

Unexpectedly, Chris said: "I already know the content of the meeting."

Yannick was taken aback for a moment, his first reaction was that this guy went to listen in disguise again.

As if seeing his doubts, Chris said, "Tinas sent someone to tell me."

Yannick laughed, that guy must hope that Chris would give him some good words when he goes back, so as to escape the crime.

The former city lord of La Serena is also a strange thing. As early as when La Serena fell, he could not escape a crime of dereliction of duty. As a result, he died in Santa Mar and refused to go to the imperial capital. Bian is probably too busy dealing with the undead now, setting up frontier defenses, and has no time to take care of him, which allowed him to escape for the time being.

Seeing him groaning in silence, Chris thought he still wanted to stay in Santa Mar, so he frowned slightly: "You don't want to stay here. This is not La Serena, there are Mulder Fan and Arthur Fansheli Qi here, you will be limited in what you want to do."

Yannick was not surprised by Chris' sharp words. Although this academic madman often said some words that made people unable to complain and did things that made people gnash their teeth, it is undeniable that his vision and sense of touch are also Keen, should it be said that he was born in a noble family? He was born with this kind of talent.

"I do think so."

The current situation is indeed very different from La Serena.

When he was in La Serena, he was the only priest. He stepped forward in the crisis at that time, healed many people, and won a great reputation for himself. Moreover, when he was the only priest, those mages had He had no choice but to be polite to him.

But now, a large group of mages and priests are gathered here, and the light of the archbishop in red alone is enough to overwhelm the other priests, not to mention that Yannick can't play any role at all, just like today at the meeting, he has no Priests at the root are made things difficult by both parties, including those who are priests. Even if he really makes some suggestions and does something, I am afraid that in the end, the credit will not be credited to him.

In view of this, instead of ignoring everyone here, it is better to get out as soon as possible and leave the city of Saint-Mar. What's more, the cardinal's proposal is really unbearable. Who knows if he will be willing to recommend himself on a sudden whim? Pillow mat, or a bully like Chris, there is really no place to cry at that time.

When thinking about the overlord's hard attack, Yannick subconsciously attributed Chris to "a nobleman who was obsessed with academic research and led to ignorance of the world", and labeled the archbishop in red as "the city's deep-seated enemies and friends are unknown".

"Then where are you going? Like what was said at the meeting, are you going to the Papal State to seek the Pope's asylum?" asked the mage in black.

The priest, who was still immersed in his thoughts, didn't realize that the other party's hand touched his waist again at some point, and was slowly massaging it.

"No." Yannick shook his head, "That's just an excuse. If I go to the Papal State now, not only will I not get asylum, but I may be sent directly to those who hunted me down. Oh, of course, the Pope Your Majesty may meet me and send me some insignificant words of consolation."

The person who chased him back then had already secured the position of bishop of the Principality of Santos. No matter what forces were behind the bishop of Santos, the pope would not be able to dismiss a well-established bishop for the sake of a poor boy with no foundation.

"So I should still go to the capital of the Garter Empire according to the original plan."

"I'm glad you have such a clear understanding." Chris's deep voice lingered in his ears, and the priest realized that the distance between the two had become extremely close unconsciously, and the breath of the other party almost sprayed into his ears On the silhouette, there is also a scorching gaze that cannot be ignored.

The priest twitched his mouth: "Your Excellency Chris, I really don't want to scream and push you away like a little girl, but can I ask you to observe the basic noble etiquette?"

After he finished speaking, he stood up, the corner of his robe raised in a perfect arc.

"Also," when he walked to the door, the priest suddenly stopped and turned around with a half-smile, "Let me emphasize again, what happened last night was just an accident, and I don't want it to happen again, if next time you If you still want to sleep in, please be mentally prepared for me to take the initiative!"

The kitten, who watched the whole process from beginning to end, saw the opportunity, jumped down from the cabinet, and jumped lightly onto the priest's shoulder.

Oh, perfect landing!

It threw a smug look at the mage in black, and then the cat followed the priest and left with its long tail wagging behind.

Aphra and others were very happy when they heard that Yannick wanted to go to the imperial capital according to the original plan. They originally thought that Yannick, who had participated in the meeting, would choose to stay, but to be honest, after experiencing the life and death of La Serena After fleeing, many people cast shadows on the undead in a short period of time, not to mention the high-level monsters that are almost invincible to them.

More importantly, with the strength of Aphra and the others, staying in San Mar City will not be able to play much role. They have realized the shortcomings of their own strength and are going to the imperial capital to find better opportunities—in this turbulent time In this era, only the strong can get more chances of survival and have more right to speak.

From the city of Santa Mar to the imperial capital, there is no need to travel long distances. There is a teleportation magic circle directly here, which is enough to support small teleportation of less than a dozen people. Chris did not reveal his identity through the relationship between Tines and Ryan. They won the opportunity to use the magic circle for their group.

Baker's two sisters, Mary and Jane, were also taken away together. Baker originally wanted to place them in the city of Santa Mar, but Yannick thought it would be safer to go to the imperial capital, anyway, the magic circle could accommodate them, so they hurried They sold the house and went on the road with Yannick and others. They were overjoyed at this honor, and looked at Yannick with admiration in their eyes.

On the day of departure, the weather in Saint-Mar City was fine, and the city was still bustling with people coming and going. Even though the arrival of a large number of priests and mages made the city a bit tense, many people still firmly believed that this The city will not fall like La Serena in the end, and the army of undead will eventually be defeated - ordinary soldiers and even civilians don't even know the existence of the monster behind the undead.

As a woman, the sentimental side broke out at this time. Of course, Sofia and Aphra hoped that the city of Santa Mar would survive in the end, but they still couldn't help but linger over the buildings in the city over and over again with their nostalgic eyes. No one knows when they will come next time, and the fall of La Serena made them realize that every human city is so precious, and that human homes cannot be touched by monsters.

It wasn't until Feizel urged them repeatedly that they reluctantly stepped into the magic circle. Sophia sighed in a low voice: "Although I've only been here for a few days, I've already fallen in love with it!"

Aphra also said: "I hope we have a chance to come again!"

"Okay, girls, don't be sentimental, there will be a chance!" Yanick said warmly, "With Mulder Fan and Archbishop Vaserich here, the safety factor of Santa Mar is much higher than that of La Serena."

Sophia shook her head, shaking off the little sigh: "By the way, Aphra, Dantonio, have you ever been to the capital of the Garter Empire?"

"No." D'Antonio was a little curious, "The imperial capital should be more prosperous than Santa Mar, right?"

"This is natural!" Sophia said proudly, "I dare say that even the capital of the most powerful Charlemagne Empire is not comparable to the capital of our Garter Empire, it will be a place that will amaze you... "

Immediately, her voice was completely lost in the dazzling light launched by the magic circle.

The imperial capital of the Garter Empire, San Peroen, a legendary city with a history of 350 years, is waiting for their arrival.
