I really only stop

Feeling the slightly shortness of breath of her friend, Miss Saintess smiled helplessly:

"Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you imagined. By the way, is there still the tea that Grandpa Da Vinci used to drink for us? It's rare to go back to the imperial capital, and I still want to drink it."

"Yes, there are! Desserts are also prepared for you!"

Hearing Yuxia's tone as usual, the undercover girl finally felt relieved.It was only then that she belatedly realized how impolite she had done, and Claire let go of the arms that tightly hugged Miss Saintess, and turned to Lu Xi and his party with an embarrassed smile:

"Of course, tea and snacks are also prepared for everyone. Miss Nana, Miss Celica, it's rare for everyone to gather together this time. I also prepared a fruit cake limited to the imperial capital!"

"Limited? Cake? Good!"

Immediately forgetting why she came here, Celica excitedly held Nana's hand:

"Nana, let's go to this tea party too!"

"Uh-huh……!"

In this way, Claire pulled Yushiya, Celie pulled Nana, and the four girls walked into the room in a group like this.

"Then, that... my... good daughter?"

Still keep【Ah!I'm out of magic power!A good daughter, come and take care of her father] Staying in place with a pretentious gesture, the expression of the dignified chief of the imperial capital at this time is like a poor puppy who is suddenly thrown out of the car in the middle of a family car journey.

Ju, actually left? !

At the beginning, I still held the naive idea of ​​self-hypnosis [Maybe this is just a joke between my naughty daughter and me, just wait, she will come back to care about me in a while], when I saw my When the lights in the living room came on, Mr. Chief finally understood everything thoroughly.

The tea party has already started, and there are no seats of its own.

Maintaining an expression like an abandoned puppy, this reliable senior in the middle-aged group turned his head stiffly, and pitifully shifted his gaze to Lu Xi:

"Luci..."

No wonder Mr. Mephis in the adventurer period was nicknamed "Little Mephie" by the rest of the middle-aged group members. Today I can see another side of him besides the cheerful and devilish character.

Really didn't know how to comfort the Chief of the Imperial Capital with this expression, Lu Xi was silent for a long time, and then squeezed out such a sentence from his teeth:

"Rebellious, rebellious period."

"……perhaps."

------------

Because he did not inherit the talent of [Magic Imprint·Intellect], Mephis became the only existence among the three generations of his family who did not know the background of his ancestor Demon King Army.It is precisely because of this that when discussing how to use the magic mark, it is naturally impossible for Da Vinci and the undercover girl Claire to discuss this somewhat sensitive issue in front of the chief of the imperial capital.

After going back and forth, poor little Murphy had a wonderful misunderstanding of "Both my father and daughter hate me, what should I do, I'm waiting".

For this chief and prime minister of the imperial capital who often deceived others with a smile on his face, except for the middle-aged group who knew everything, this matter probably made him a little bit embarrassed.

——Leaving aside the little Mei Fei who was crying and running to find his own wife for comfort, after comforting a certain chief of the imperial capital rather kindly, Lu Xi also stepped into the door of the prime minister's house.

Different from the strange block building where Claire lived alone, the Prime Minister's Mansion where Mephis and his wife lived was a very traditional and exquisite aristocratic building.Since the prime minister's father and daughter both hold civil positions in the imperial palace, and it is also the base camp of the hidden magic and intelligence in the imperial capital, there are a lot of books stored here—at this time, they were thrown around when they should have been properly placed on the bookshelves. on the ground.It is not difficult to see how anxious the undercover girl who wanted to find a solution for Yuxia was.

"Ah, Ruoweixi is here too."

The sound of Lu Xi's footsteps was heard from a long distance, and Celica quickly stuffed two limited cakes into her mouth:

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (Friendly translation: I will not give that guy a chance to snatch the limited cupcake from me!)"

"Don't worry, no one here will do such childish behavior except you."

After thumping Zelika's forehead, Lu Xi also pulled the chair and sat down:

"Claire, Mr. Mephis just gave us a general introduction to the current situation of the imperial capital. How is it actually here?"

"It can be described as [very bad]."

Without a trace of hesitation, the undercover girl used such adjectives:

"The incapacity of the clergy has not only brought about a complete shutdown of the adventurer industry and the medical industry, but also the worry about their future has spread to everyone in the imperial capital. In just one morning, there appeared in the imperial capital It’s like a pessimistic statement like [I won’t even catch a cold in the future, and once I get sick, I can only fight on my own without the help of the priests].”

As the most reliable lady in the palace, Claire naturally knows the movements in the imperial capital very well.Since she said so, it means that at least [-]% of the people in the imperial capital have the same or similar thoughts.

"The same goes for Rhine City."

Lucy sighed slightly:

"The more panic there is, the more it will test the leadership of those in power. Fortunately, His Majesty Tesla's courage is enough to hold back this situation."

The Pope has already left for the elf holy land where [Holy Light] is located to find out.Before his judgment comes out, we still wait and see what happens, and don't take any actions that may make us regret——

"—Unfortunately, the current calm may not last long."

As if seeing what Lu Xi was thinking, Claire shook her head heavily:

"As far as I know, there are already sporadic clerics who can't stand the high-pressure environment around them, and are ready to touch the so-called [Spire of Light]."

Chapter 821 Could it be Claire too?

"High pressure environment?!"

With a small exclamation, the soft girl asked in disbelief:

"Did someone force those priests to take back their power?"

"Miss Nana, sometimes verbal persecution is far inferior to silent persecution from the entire environment."

Reaching out and pushing her glasses, Claire's eyes slowly swept over everyone present:

"After losing the holy art and being evaluated like that by [Holy Light], the priests felt not only doubt and confusion about the things they believed in in the past, but also the silent [pressure] from the ordinary people around them. 】——Yusia, as a clergyman, you should be far more aware of this feeling than me, right?"

"……Um."

She nodded imperceptibly, and when she said this, the voice of Miss Saintess lowered a little:

"The clergy take [reaching out to those in need] as their mission. But now that the holy light has come, we who have lost the holy magic have undoubtedly had our most powerful arm cut off, and we can only watch helplessly. The people I could help are struggling. There is probably nothing more difficult for us than this."

For these simple and kind-hearted people, the public's anxiety and fear of the future seem to be caused by them.

【If I get back the Holy Light, I can continue to help others】——There are not a few priests who want to get close to the 【Spire of Light】with this idea.The reason why no one has touched it at present is simply because the Supreme Crown has conveyed the pope's order of "stand by" through the church.

"...Yusia."

Seeing the slightly lonely expression of her childhood sweetheart, the undercover girl who was also in a bad mood called her name softly, and put her hand on hers.

"...Don't worry, I'm fine."

Rejuvenated by her friend's touch, Miss Saintess showed a beautiful and warm smile to Claire:

"Thank you very much for supporting me all the time, Claire."

"Oh! Say, what are you talking about!"

You Aotian's charm is really irresistible, even the undercover girl who has known her for a long time is not completely immune.After pretending to look away, Claire blushed and said:

"As a clergyman, Yuxia will only be more sad than me. Why don't you, Miss Nana and Miss Celica rest here for a while, and Lu Xi and I will go through the relevant literature records— —Although it is unlikely, there may be some solution to it!"

"Huh? Lucy?"

The beautiful eyes flickered in confusion, and Yuxia's eyes flicked back and forth between the undercover girl and the protagonist:

"Why Lu Xi? Although I have lost the holy light now, my knowledge reserve is still there. If you want to find clues, it will be faster for everyone to work together?"

"No! Yuxia must have a good rest!"

This time, the attitude of the undercover girl seemed unusually firm.She pulled up Lu Xi's arm, whose buttocks were still sitting still, and before leaving, she did not forget to tell Nana and Celica:

"I have cleared out all the appliances that may cause danger in this room, and the books on display have also been changed from serious to professional books to light and witty biographical readers. During my discussion with Lu Xi, Yuxia first asked It's two. Please watch her carefully, if she even sighs, please call me immediately, and I will run over immediately!"

"okay."

Frightened by the capable and decisive aura of the lady officer, after she walked out of the door with Lu Xi, Nana could barely react:

"No, you are indeed the most outstanding lady in the palace. In order to take care of Yuxia's mood, she is so thoughtful..."

"I think Claire has always been smart."

Stuffing a fresh cherry into her mouth, Celica looked at the direction the two left, and blinked suspiciously:

"It's just that she didn't make it clear in the end why she must search for information with Ruoyouxi. This is very wrong! If it is this kind of brain work, shouldn't it be handed over to the smartest me!"

"...【alone】ah..."

Apparently thinking of something because of Claire's weirdness and Celica's reminder, Miss Saintess leaned back in her chair, her eyes flickering with a little unpredictable brilliance.

Could it be that Claire is also the same [that] as Lu Xi?

Although I already believed that [that] was not an enemy, but as soon as I knew this fact, several [that] jumped out of my side one after another, and I, the holy lady of the Holy See, still felt a little frustrated...

Ok!wrong!You must not be discouraged at this time!

Shaking her head vigorously, Yuxia clenched her small fists as if to cheer herself up.

I will find an opportunity to test Claire first, if she is really [that]——

"……(laugh)"

——Hmm, it should be interesting to tease this smart and serious childhood sweetheart once in a while, right?

----------

"—Huh? Why is there a chill coming out of nowhere?"

Pulling Lu Xi's hand into a super secret secret room, the moment the secret room door was closed, the undercover girl shuddered subconsciously:

"Before I entered the secret room, I checked it carefully, and no one followed me? Why do I have a [dangerous] feeling that my identity is exposed?"

"..."

Lu Xi hesitated for a moment, not daring to tell the undercover girl what he had confessed to Yuxia a long time ago.

Just like the relationship between me and Yuxia, Claire and Yuxia are also inextricably linked under the accident of fate.

Judging from their identities, one of them is Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, and the other is a cadre of the Demon King's Army who is trying to invade the world.Between these two people who should be opposed to each other, there is an intimacy that ordinary people can't imagine.

If Lucy were to describe it, Yushiya and Claire are the kind of [I always think about each other even though I haven't met], [I can support each other at any time], [I have a lot of black information about each other and can be in love with each other. When the two are alone, they use it unscrupulously as bickering capital] Super best friends.

...Because of this, if our ice-snow-smart Miss Saintess really guessed the identity of the undercover girl, it should be up to the two of them to confess to each other.Now that it is clear that Yuxia will not yell at the Demon King Army officers like before, it is better for me, a big man, not to participate in it.

In this sense, both Claire and I have to thank the so-called [Holy Light].Without his timely explanation and a series of major events that followed, Yuxia probably would not have been able to accept all of this so quickly.

All I can say is, it was a blessing in disguise.

Shaking his head in relief, facing the suspicious eyes of the undercover girl, Lu Xi just shrugged his shoulders:

"Then, Mr. Claire, who is suspicious and suspicious, what is your purpose for calling me here?"

Chapter 822

"Please call this [sensitivity to wind and grass]."

Rolling her eyes coquettishly, the undercover girl raised an index finger and shook it in front of Lu Xi with emphasis:

"Grandpa is not here, and a certain fake is habitually missing and running around. In such a big imperial capital, I am the only cadre struggling to survive. How can I be careless?"

"Fake? Xia Li hasn't come back yet?"

Hearing this news, Lu Xi was slightly taken aback:

"It's been a long time since I explored Little Garden with her last time. Could it be that she's still a charlatan?"

"Who knows."

Sighing deeply, she was clearly a genuine young girl, but Claire's tone at this time was very much like a poor parent who was devastated by her own brat:

"I just hope she can keep a low profile. Ever since this weird guy who claimed to be the Holy Light came into the world, no place in the world is as peaceful as before. If she is still jumping around at this time, she will really be punished." Killed."

"Don't worry, that guy who puts himself first at all times is definitely better than anyone else."

Recalling the flat-panel's act of selling teammates out of morality several times and her overwhelming desire to survive, Lu Xi said soothingly:

"If it doesn't work, just pay more attention to the reporting rate in the surrounding areas. With Xia Li's character, it's strange that he doesn't do anything for three days."

"..."

"... Raising children is not easy." X2

After a long silence, the two sighed at the same time.
