The Path of Ascension to the Priest

Tang Qiu didn't take Ruisi's words to heart. After watching her leave, she turned around and went out through the back door of the Holy See. Walking on the street with people coming and going, she pressed down the hood of her cloak to cover herself. It has attracted many curious and probing eyes.

Passing through the crowd, she turned into a remote alley and came to another relatively deserted street. There were not many people on this street. Tang Qiu slowly slowed down. After a period of tortuous wayfinding After that, she stopped in front of a dilapidated grocery store.

It may be because when the palace was attacked by monsters, there were also some waves here, so the broken door panels of the grocery store were replaced with new ones, but there were still cobwebs hanging on them, and the word "Mark" on the sign was also blurred. Some people can't see clearly.

Tang Qiu cautiously glanced around, then opened the door and went in. The darkness enveloped her, and a ball of light suddenly jumped onto her shoulder, illuminating the messy shelves on both sides and the narrow road in front of which only one person could pass.

The kerosene lamps on the wall lit up one by one, and there was a strange rustling sound at the end of the darkness in front of him. Tang Qiu frowned, and didn't go any further. Instead, he stopped and sat down on the chair next to the counter. There was a knock on the table, and he raised his voice and said, "Aren't you here to entertain the guests?"

Her response was silence. Tang Qiu waited patiently for a while. The sound of footsteps came from the darkness. The beautiful proprietress was lazily leaning on the counter, her slender eyes filled with endless charm. She saw Tang Qiu clearly. He raised his hand to lightly cover his red lips, and said with a low smile, "So it's you."

Not many priests came to their grocery store, so the proprietress had a deep memory of Tang Qiu.

She casually glanced behind Tang Qiu, and when she found that she was alone, her eyes flickered, the smile on her face disappeared, she covered her mouth and yawned, turning into a look of neglect attitude, "what's the matter?"

Tang Qiu didn't miss the change in her attitude. She raised her eyebrows and her eyes darkened. She folded her hands on the counter, leaned over slightly and said with a smile, "I want to send a letter. How much will I need for a fee?"

Without raising her eyelids, the proprietress said lazily, "One hundred bottles of bright holy water."

This price is more than three times more expensive than when Irene asked for a priest nameplate. Is the priest nameplate easier than delivering a letter... Tang Qiu's expression remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile: "Don't you ask me where I want to send it? "

The proprietress shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's the same price wherever you send it."

Tang Qiu took out the skeleton mouse from the space gem and put it on the cabinet. The proprietress looked down and was a little surprised that a priest would actually take out the black witch's summoning object, when she heard a gentle and clear voice in her ear , "You should remember Erin Anderson."

"The letter was to be sent to her."

The proprietress paused for a moment, raised her eyes and looked at the priest in front of her. Those sky blue eyes contained a trace of inquiry and playfulness. It was obvious that the other party keenly noticed the look in her eyes after hearing Irene's name. A moment of change.

What a priest who is good at observation.

"Oh, Irene Anderson?" The proprietress returned to her lazy posture, smiled at Tang Qiu and said, "I'm a regular customer in the store."

"What's up with her?"

"I was arrested in the principality of Shas." Tang Qiu took out Irene's distress letter and pushed it in front of the proprietress, and said calmly. Irene wrote in the distress letter to ask her to try to seek help from Mark's grocery store.

The proprietress glanced at the contents on the parchment, and said in a deep thought: "For the sake of regular customers, I will only charge you thirty bottles of bright holy water if you send the letter."

Tang Qiu looked at her for a while, smiled, and then nodded cheerfully, "I think Irene will be very happy knowing that I have saved seventy bottles of bright holy water."

The proprietress smiled slightly, and reminded: "My rule here is to receive the reward first."

Tang Qiu looked at her pretending to be surprised, thought for a while, and sighed, "Then I can only say sorry to Irene." She got up to leave, but was stopped by the proprietress in a low voice, who stared at her and gritted her teeth Said: "...I'm making an exception."

Tang Qiu sat back down again, and took out the pen and paper without waiting for the proprietress to urge her. She lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, and the quill drew an elegant arc in the air. After a while, half of the territory of the parchment was occupied by black writing.

She folded the written parchment, and then took out a new one. This time, she wrote without much thought. After finishing writing, she folded it and handed it to the proprietress, "This is for Irene."

The skeleton mouse knew the way, but it was a monster, so Tang Qiu couldn't give it orders. That's why Irene asked her to ask Mark's grocery store for help.

The proprietress took the parchment and stuffed it into the skeleton rat's body.

Tang Qiu handed the first folded parchment to the proprietress, met her questioning eyes, and said with a smile: "This letter is sent to the Gelug Empire." She said a place name silently.

The proprietress looked at her mouth shape, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but in the end she raised her hand and took the parchment without asking anything.

After coming out of Mark’s grocery store, the sky was already getting dark. The street where the grocery store is located is very close to Lucille’s manor. Tang Qiu walked a few steps in that direction. Originally, he wanted to spend the night there. After all, Lucille Syl's manor was much more comfortable than the Holy See, but he hesitated in his heart, and finally gave up the idea and turned back to the Holy See.

In some respects, it can be said that she is already very dependent on Lucille, and there is no need to deepen her dependence.

Tang Qiu gave up too early, so he didn't notice that there was a bare tree behind the tavern not far away. A tall, red-haired woman with deep facial features came out from behind the tree. Her long red hair looked a little dull against the backdrop of the night. , just like her pair of dark red eyes, she stared fixedly at Tang Qiu's back that was getting further and further away, covered by shadows, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.

"Your prey has run away." Lola appeared out of nowhere, leaned against the wall and followed Lucille's line of sight, jokingly said with a smile.

Lucille looked at her coldly.

Lola shrugged and revealed her purpose of looking for Lucille, "I found something in Rose Manor, do you want to go and see it?"

The blond priest will not come to her manor tonight, Lucille lowered her eyes and said flatly, "Okay."

Escorting the believers of light to the central Holy See is the only task that the Holy See needs to go out recently. Although Tang Qiu has countless reasons for rejecting Irene, after careful consideration, she decided to give it a try.

It just so happened that the Principality of Shas was very close to the Gelug Empire. Even if she couldn't rescue Irene, she could still take this opportunity to find out about the werewolves.

The sealed beast in her body is a timed bomb. The uncontrollable transformation is always in danger for her. In fact, Tang Qiu has already begun to think about how to deal with the transformation after the status of the Holy See has gradually stabilized. problem.

Even if there is no such thing as Irene, after she knows the task of escorting the believers of light, she will consider how to win it.

Confined to the Holy See, only danger awaits her.

In the conference room of the Holy See, Tang Qiu repeated exactly what Ruisi asked her to convey, and the room fell into silence after she finished speaking. It sank.

She had expected that Monica would change her face a long time ago, so she stood aside very calmly, An Jingjing did not try to persuade Monica to agree as Reese said.

Monica usually looks calm and reserved, but in fact she blows up when she falls in love with Ruisi. Tang Qiu has seen Monica get angry because of Ruisi more than once. If she says a good word for Ruisi now, she dare not Make sure that the favorability you have built in her heart will definitely be reduced by half.

Reese's suggestion of persuading Monica was not good at all, and Tang Qiu knew it when she said it.

Monica's face changed several times, but she still didn't suppress the anger in her heart. She threw the quill in her hand on the table, and shouted to the outside: "Jonas."

There was silence outside the door, Monica frowned and was about to shout again, the door was pushed open from the outside, Jonas walked in, and behind him was Mario, the follower of Reese, Jonas walked to Monica The side whispered: "Archbishop Reese wants to use the conference room."

Monica glanced coldly at Mario who had kept his head down, and snorted coldly, with anger that could not be concealed, "Let her come."

It just saved her from going to her.

The Holy See only uses the conference room when there is something that cannot be decided. Because Bishop Lal doesn't do anything, the conference room has been dusty for a long time.

Reese honestly put on her own robe of the archbishop in red this time. The pure white robe was mixed with red thread and gold thread to outline delicate patterns. The neckline and sleeves were hemmed with gold thread. The pattern is flamboyant and extravagant, and the scarlet cloak dragging on the ground shows the high status of the archbishop in red.

Monica looked at Reese, who was wearing a red archbishop's robe, and her face became even more gloomy.

Bishop Lal and other priests of the Holy See followed Reese into the conference room, each found their own seats and sat down.

Reese went straight to the main seat and sat down. Mario stood behind her with his head down. She crossed her hands on the table and watched everyone take their seats. The corners of her mouth slightly curled up. She just greeted everyone with a smile, and then lightly She glanced at Bishop Lal who was sitting at the lower head of her.

Bishop Lal stood up and cleared his throat when he received the cue, and announced to the others: "Bishop Rise is about to leave to send believers back to the Central Holy See. Recently, black witches have frequently made troubles in the Statu Continent. For the safety of believers, So I decided to send two priests to lead dozens of priests and holy knights to escort Archbishop Reese back to the Central Holy See."

After his words fell, all the priests who sat down were surprised and looked at each other with blank expressions.

Tang Qiu was also observing the reactions of other people, and her gaze mainly fell on Monica. To her surprise, Monica didn't jump up to refute Bishop Lal even though her face was not good-looking.

She retracted her gaze, raised her eyes and glanced at Ruisi. Ruisi rested her chin with one hand and was looking at other people with interest. laugh.

Bishop Lal patiently waited for the others to digest the news, then bowed to the superior Reese, and said in a respectful tone: "I decided to choose the candidate according to the order of the power of light. I don't know if Archbishop Reese has other candidates. suggestion."

According to the order of the priest's power of light, the first order is definitely Monica who has excellent qualifications and has been practicing for a long time.

And the second pick is Tang Qiu. Although she has not yet mastered the intermediate level of light spells, and she has not been practicing for a long time, but because of her excellent aptitude, after the baptism of light, the power of light in her body is even stronger. Pure.

It is even purer than Monica, and its strength is not as good as hers, just because the time of practice is still short.

The power of light is the key to the strength of a priest.

Before Reese could speak, Monica, who couldn't bear it, refused in a cold voice, "Exclude me from the list of candidates."

Bishop Lal looked at Reese questioningly, Reese smiled, then shook his head at him, Bishop Lal turned to Monica and said, "This is not in compliance with the rules, Priest Monica."

He directly put on the bishop's airs.

Monica stared at him, her face was full of anger. Bishop Lal had no sense of existence in the absence of Reese, but at this time he was very embarrassing.

The appearance of flattering Ruisi really made her feel disgusted even at a glance.

"I won't go." Monica said coldly.

Reese didn't say a word, but just looked up at Bishop Lal quietly. Bishop Lal wiped his cold sweat with his hands, and felt cold from being stared at. The tone changed, "Are you despising me?"

Yes, everyone present, including Tang Qiu, answered Bishop Lal's question silently in their hearts. However, if they admitted that they were despising the majesty of the bishop, Monica would only be arrested by the court.

Sometimes there is an insurmountable gulf between classes.

Monica took a deep breath to suppress her anger, and said lightly, "Don't dare."

Bishop Lal also breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you will be the escort."

Monica raised her eyes and stared at Reese coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."

Ruisi looked at her with a smile, and when Bishop Lal's gaze fell on Tang Qiu, and was about to announce the second candidate, she suddenly raised her hand to interrupt his unspoken words.

"Let me decide the next one." Ruisi cast her teasing eyes on Tang Qiu, raised her right hand, and pointed her fingertips at her from afar... The priest next to her spoke casually, "Priest Lucy, you are you willing?"

Tang Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Ruisi for a while, the corner of his mouth curled up in a nice arc, and he looked away calmly.

The priest who was pointed was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the blond priest beside him, and nodded hesitantly, "My honor, Archbishop Ruisi."

Reese put her hand down and nodded with satisfaction, "Very well, then it's settled."

After she got up and left, the conference room fell into a moment of silence. It wasn't until Monica stood up and left with a cold face that the rest of the people walked out of the conference room together.

Tang Qiu walked at the back, his eyes fell on the figure of Priest Lucy in front of him, his expression was thoughtful.

She had already guessed that Reese would not be kind enough to follow her wishes, so she was not too surprised.

She lowered her eyes and was thinking about something, when a priest came over to talk to her, Tang Qiu could only put his thoughts away first, chatting and laughing with the other party and walked to the residence.
