The Path of Ascension to the Priest

Three streets away from the Holy See, Lucille's manor was also affected. The original deserted atmosphere was broken, and there was an endless stream of carriages in front of the door, almost all of which were heading towards the Holy See.

The maid became absent-minded while pruning the branches and leaves in the garden, and looked outside from time to time, looking curiously at the passing luxury carriage.

Lucille was sitting on a bench in the garden drinking afternoon tea. It was obviously made according to the method of the blond priest, but the taste seemed to be missing something. After taking a sip, Lucille immediately Putting down the cup, he slightly raised his eyes to glance at the carriage outside through the fence, with a cold expression.

Seeing that Lucille was also looking outside, the maid hesitated for a while, not holding back the desire to gossip, and tentatively shared with her the news she had heard, "Priest Grace seems to be very popular with nobles now, these carriages are all Nobles from other places just want to meet Priest Grace at the banquet."

The maid had several contacts with Tang Qiu, and recalling it now, she couldn't help sighing, "Priest Grace is really a very gentle person, no one can resist her charm."

"Master Marshal, will she come here again?"

Lucille silently looked at the expectant maid and didn't speak. The maid felt uneasy after realizing it. She regretted why she talked so much with Marshal Lucille.

Is it because Marshal Lucille looks less cold than before?The maid looked annoyed, all the flowers and branches under her hands were pruned by her, she hung her head a little guilty, and then heard Lucille said in a cold tone: "Yes."

The maid froze for a moment, realizing that Lucille was answering her previous question, she was slightly relieved, and when she was carefully preparing to respond, an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, she subconsciously looked back, It was a strange woman with brown hair and red eyes.

The maid exclaimed, raised her hand to push him away, and ran directly behind Lucille.

Lola bent down to catch the scissors thrown away by the maid, raised her eyes and looked around, raised her eyebrows and said, "You know how to enjoy it."

Lucille gestured to the maid, signaling her to go down. Lola put the scissors aside, looked at Lucille with her arms crossed, and jokingly said, "Only blood lords own manors. Do you have many descendants?" ?”

The lord in her mouth refers to the fact that blood clans of five generations and above have a certain number of descendants, coupled with the support behind the clan, they will have their own territory in the blood field, which is a completely different concept from Lucille's manor.

Lola said this purely as a test.

Her probing eyes fell on Lucille, but Lucille just said blankly: "I didn't create offspring." The offspring refers to the blood clan transformed by her First Embrace.

Lola narrowed her eyes, then said with a smile: "That's right, after all, we don't have the ability to create offspring."

Lucille glanced at her without retorting.

Lola got what she wanted to know, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She walked to sit opposite Lucille, took an empty cup and poured herself a cup of hot tea.

"What are you doing here?" Lucille looked at Lola who was not polite at all, and said lightly.

For blood, there is nothing more delicious than blood, so Lola just took a sip of hot tea and put down the cup, "Aren't you looking for me?"

"I saw you went to Rose Manor."

Lucille denied it coldly, "I went to Rose Manor to find you and have nothing to do with it."

Lola shrugged indifferently, then smiled and said, "So, did you find anything in Rose Manor?"

Lucille frowned, "No." The fire 30 years ago completely burned Van Dent and Rose Manor, leaving nothing behind.

Lola was not surprised by this result at all. She gave a low laugh, picked up a fruit on the table and threw it into her mouth. The red juice stained her lips. She licked the corner of her mouth and said to Lucille : "I'll show you something, are you interested?"

Her attitude was vaguely provocative, Lucille looked at her for a while, nodded coldly, and signaled her to lead the way.

The speed of the blood race is several times faster than that of a horse. It didn't take much time to get from the main city to Van Dent. Lucille and Lola passed through the patrolling cavaliers and went deep into Van Dent when they came to Rose Manor. Not completely black.

Even if there are no black witches and monsters entrenched here, Rose Manor is still eerie and terrifying. The dim light of the setting sun does not bring warmth to the place, but adds a sense of unreality.

There was not even the sound of insects and birds, and Rose Manor was shrouded in dead silence.

Lola seemed to be very familiar with this place. She led Lucille through the ruins, and finally stopped in front of a ruin. A little green seedling, with an incomprehensible expression, curled its lips and teased, "Look, what a tenacious little thing with vitality."

The little green seedling was very small, with only a few leaves, and it was impossible to tell what kind of seedling it was. Lucille frowned, and instead of asking Lola what it was, she lowered her eyes and pondered for a while , suddenly bent down and reached out to dig up the land next to the green seedlings, and some severely corroded fruit shells mixed with soil appeared in her vision.

"...Is this buried here when the Rose Manor was still intact?" Lucille picked up the husk and looked at it carefully, and said in a low voice.

Lola spread her hands, "I don't know." These were just discovered by her accidentally, and she couldn't tell when they were buried here.

"Can you recognize what plant this husk is from?" Seeing that Lucille had been studying the husk with her head down, she asked suspiciously.

Lucille frowned, "I can't tell." The husk was too corroded.

Lola said rather boringly: "I brought you here." She turned around and jumped to the side of the high wall to sit down, with one leg bent and the other dangling below, looking up at the night sky already covered with stars.

"Someone told me that the night sky here is very beautiful." Lola didn't know what to think of, and suddenly raised the corners of her lips, "Now that I look at it, I'm lying."

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Lucille's response, so she couldn't help but glanced down, seeing that Lucille was digging up the little green seedling, she had a weird expression, "You don't mean to transplant it into your garden, do you?" ?”

Lucille's subordinates didn't stop, but asked in a low voice, "Can't you?"

Lola frowned, hesitated for a moment, and let her go, "You can do whatever you want, you might not survive for a few days if you stay here anyway."

The little green seedling was put together with the soil in the space gem by Lucille. She took out a square towel and wiped her hands clean. She noticed that Lola had been quiet all this time, and subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at her. Still staring at the night sky in a daze.

"...Who told you that the night sky here is beautiful?"

Lola was silent for a while when she heard Lucille's voice, then she lowered her head and looked at her, and said with a smile: "My mother, she is the daughter of an earl in the Principality of Wagley."

It is indeed the identity that can enter and leave the Rose Manor, Lucille lowered her eyes, concealing the complexity in her eyes.

The moon had just set in the night sky, and Lucille, who was staying at the Rose Manor, did not know that a guest was also welcomed in her manor. The maid was sent away early, so Tang Qiu, who was wearing a large cloak and avoiding carriages and pedestrians, ate A closed door.

She lifted the hood a little, looked up at the dark manor without any light, frowned, where did Lucille go?

She touched her wrist and stood there for a moment before turning and leaving.

The square was still full of people at night. Tang Qiu returned to the Holy See from the small path at the back door, and happened to meet Jennifer when he walked to the auditorium. Jennifer was a little surprised when she saw her, and asked suspiciously: "Aren't you okay tonight?" are you back?"

Tang Qiu even told her the next day that he had something to do and would stay out at night.

Tang Qiu put down the hood and said nonchalantly, "I changed my mind temporarily." Seeing that Jennifer was about to go out, she asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It's just in time for you to come back." Jennifer handed a piece of parchment to Tang Qiu, and said, "The knights of the empire have heard that monsters are still making trouble in the city."

Tang Qiu raised his eyebrows, "Did you catch it?"

Jennifer shook her head, "No."

Tang Qiu was thoughtful, and she scanned the contents of the parchment at a glance, then squinted her eyes, "Do they suggest that the Holy See send people to patrol with the Cavaliers?"

Jennifer nodded, "Priest Monica has agreed."

"The priests lead five priests to patrol the main street in the city."

It seems that Monica really wants to expand a new square near the Holy See. Tang Qiu folded the parchment and said with a sigh: "It's time to get busy again."

"The Holy See is obliged to protect believers who trust us." Jennifer looked serious. Tang Qiu glanced at her, raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "It would be great if every priest had your awareness." gone."

Jennifer frowned at her, and said disapprovingly: "What nonsense are you talking about." She subconsciously glanced around, only to find that no one paid attention to the conversation between them, so she was relieved.

As early as when she was in Kraft Township, she knew that Tang Qiu was not as gentle and harmless as her appearance, but after getting along with her for a while, she found that although this person had a different appearance, he was very comfortable to get along with , because she knows how to control the size and distance.

And the most important point is that this person's heart is not bad. This is the conclusion Jennifer came to after observing for a long time.

Tang Qiu had no choice but to join the patrol team as she planned to perform the feeding duties. The priest team she led was assigned to the most remote street next to the gate of the city.

There were few pedestrians on the street, the Cavaliers opened the way ahead, Tang Qiu and the five priests followed leisurely, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

Lola and Lucille, who came back from the Rose Manor, were standing on a roof behind them, looking down at the team of priests who were gradually going away. Lola stared at the figure of the blond priest, licked her lips, and jokingly said: " Your blood slave."

Lucille also looked in Tang Qiu's direction. Hearing the maliciousness in Lola's tone, she was silent for a while, and kindly reminded, "You'd better stay away from her."

Lola glanced at her, thinking that she said this because of her possessive desire for the prey, with a strange expression, "Is the blood of Gangolo so overbearing?"

Lucille ignored her words, and just said lightly: "She wants to kill you."

Lucille didn't know if Gangelo's blood was domineering or not, but she would feel displeased that Lola would follow Tang Qiu, but she wasn't too worried, the reason was what she said to Lola.

If Lola really made an attack on Tang Qiu, it might be just what the blond priest wanted.

Lola thought she had heard it wrong, so she turned her head and glanced at Lucille. Seeing her serious face, she couldn't help but sneered and said, "It's just a little priest."

For Ashamai who is good at assassination, as long as she can get close, the bishop is not a threat to her.
