Chapter 21 Dirty
==============
A strange look flashed across Arthur's face.
Lin Qiao leaned over: "Aren't you afraid of the Lord of the Abyss?"
Arthur was silent for a moment, and gave an answer that violated his conscience: "...afraid."
Lin Qiao: "I knew you were afraid too." He muttered, "The Lord of the Abyss looks scary, and he is a big villain who wants to destroy the world!"
Arthur: "..."
Lin Qiao: "Before the Lord of the Abyss wakes up, it's better to get rid of him as soon as possible!"
Arthur: "But..."
Lin Qiao said briskly, "Well... I will elect you to be the new Lord of the Abyss at that time!" He stamped it with his arm, "You must be better than the current one."
Arthur: "..."
……
After staying for a while, Princess Dory's team continued to move forward, and disappeared in the street after a while.
The street was silent for a moment, and soon the bustle resumed.
They talked about the beauty of Princess Dolly, the bravery of the Knight of Light, and the story of Andy.
Lin Qiao was walking on the street with a paper bag of bread in his arms, and listened to it.
It is said that this team of light knights escorted Princess Dolly through the foggy forest. They eliminated the Spider Queen and were about to go to the Holy Court to accept the Pope's award.
Lin Qiao took a bite of the bread and handed another one to Arthur.
The surface of the bread also has the aroma of charcoal fire, warm and soft.Arthur lowered his eyelids and watched quietly.
This was given to him by Jojo, not a sacrifice to the Lord of the Abyss.
Qiao Qiao doesn't like the Lord of the Abyss, so...do you like him?
Arthur was a little dazed.
Maybe he doesn't even know what "like" means, but he feels very uncomfortable when he thinks that Jojo doesn't like him.
It is sour and astringent, as if bitten by acid-eating ants.
Lin Qiao didn't notice Arthur's strangeness, and was still thinking about how to get close to the protagonist Andy.
Although he knows that Andy is the protagonist and the future son of light, he will destroy the Lord of the Abyss in one fell swoop, unify the faith of the mainland and become the holy emperor.
But... If he really went up in such a straight-forward manner, it would be strange not to treat him as a fool.
Let's go step by step, let's go to Andy first.
It's just that Andy was out of town just now, and he doesn't know where he is now.
Lin Qiao thought about it, and decided to go directly to the Guangming Church in Por City.
The Knights of Light live in the church, and when Andy comes back, he must go to the church to pray first.
Lin Qiao looked at the milky white vault in the distance. Even though it was so far away, she could still hear devout and soft prayers.
Arthur frowned, looking very uncomfortable, and the residual horns on his forehead twitched.
Lin Qiao said, "Let's go to church."
Arthur grabbed Lin Qiao by the corner of his clothes: "No, yes."
Light and darkness have always been incompatible.
He naturally hates the God of Light.
Lin Qiao was puzzled for a moment, and then remembered that Arthur is a devil, so of course he couldn't get close to the Church of Light, so he said, "Wait for me here, okay?"
Arthur met Lin Qiao's gaze.
Those eyes were dark and bright, brighter than the stars.
Inside is unabashed concern.
Arthur loosened his fingers and nodded slowly.
……
The Church of Light stands in the very center of Paol City.
The towering building is dominated by platinum and gold. Looking up, it seems to exude a sacred halo.
Because Lin Qiao is not a follower of the God of Light, he didn't go in, but stopped at the small square at the entrance.
The square is wide, and there is a fountain with an angel statue, and many white pigeons are walking around on it.
Usually, some residents would stop here to rest their feet, so Lin Qiao sitting on the bench didn't look special.
Lin Qiao looked at the door of the church while breaking off a piece of bread to feed the pigeons.
These pigeons were fed round, fluttered their wings, tilted their heads, and made a urging sound of "chirp".
Lin Qiao was surrounded by a flock of pigeons, with black hair hanging down softly, fair skin, and delicate facial features, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Suddenly, there was a short exclamation from the crowd.
Lin Qiao turned his head to look.
The man was wearing a pure white robe with a golden cross printed on it.He stared fixedly at Lin Qiao, his freckled face was full of surprise.
Lin Qiao: Do you know this person?
He was puzzled and wanted to ask, but he never expected that person to run away.
Without even thinking about it, Lin Qiao put down the bread and chased after him.
wow-
The pigeons were frightened and flew away one after another, leaving behind white feathers all over the sky.
The man dressed as a priest didn't run into the church, but searched for a remote alley, probably because he didn't want the people in the church to know.
Lin Qiao chased him all the way, and before he knew it, he reached the depths of an empty alley.
The man ran into a dead end and there was no way to go.He probably ran in a hurry, and now he was resting his hands on his knees, gasping for breath.
Lin Qiao paused.
The man gasped and said, "Joe, Jojo..."
He turned away, brown hair tousled and a patch of freckles across the bridge of his nose.
Lin Qiao: "..."
Wait... isn't that freckles?
At that time, he had just put on the book, and when his eyes were darkened, he went directly to the sacrificial ceremony of the Lord of the Abyss, and was selected as a sacrifice.
At that time, the boy with brown hair and freckles was standing beside him, with a very familiar look on his face.
just now……
Lin Qiao looked up and down.
Freckles changed suddenly, from a heretic to a priest of the Holy Court of Light.
Lin Qiao: ...Why is the God of Light getting more and more distracted? They're all young and old, right?
"you……"
"you……"
The two spoke at the same time, and then both paused.
They looked at each other and spoke in unison.
"Why are you here?"
"Why aren't you dead yet?"
Lin Qiao: "..."
Can you say something nice?
Freckles also reacted, and hurriedly said: "Just, just... I thought you were sacrificed to that one, and you couldn't get out..."
Lin Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
The original owner seemed to have some secret that he didn't know.
It looks like Freckles is his good friend and must know something inside.
He didn't want to reveal that he didn't know anything, so he could only follow along: "Yeah, I also thought I couldn't come out of the abyss alive."
As soon as he heard the word "Abyss", his freckled face turned pale, and he looked around for fear of being heard by others.
He lowered his voice: "Let's talk in another place."
Although it is remote here, there are some small houses on both sides.As soon as the windows of the house were opened, the people below could be heard talking.
In order to conceal his identity, Freckles simply took off his white robe, stuffed it into his pocket, and jumped onto the wall with his strength.
Freckles: "Come up here."
Lin Qiao looked at the wall that was a head taller than him, and slowly typed: "?"
Freckles: "Didn't you often climb over walls with me before?"
Lin Qiao: "..."
In order not to collapse the character, he had no choice but to hold his breath and jump up hard.
However, I am not very proficient in business skills. The fence went up, but I just rubbed it on the way, and my palms were burning.
Lin Qiao blinked and suppressed the tears that came out.He also pretended to be relaxed: "Oh, it's simple."
Freckles didn't think much, and pulled Lin Qiao out.
After walking through winding streets, I finally came to a remote tavern.
It was daytime, and there was no business in the tavern, only a down-and-out bard sitting in a corner, plucking the strings from time to time.
Freckles is familiar with the road: "Have a glass of cider." He turned his head, "Jojo, what do you want to drink? I treat you."
Lin Qiao glanced at the menu.
He doesn't drink, so he picked a drink that didn't look alcoholic.
"Sweet peach honey."
Orders were placed and drinks were served promptly.
The glass is filled with a honey-like golden liquid, and the ice cubes float and float, exuding the fragrance of peaches.
Lin Qiao took a sip, it was really sweet.
Freckles was tired from running, and happened to have a dry mouth, so he gulped it down in one gulp.After I finished drinking, I burped a lot.
Lin Qiao felt the cold side of the cup and tried: "How did you become the priest of the holy court?"
Freckles said as it should: "I am a believer in the light."
Lin Qiao: "?"
Then why did you still show up at the cult sacrificial ceremony?
Freckles looked at him suspiciously: "Don't you remember?"
Lin Qiao said vaguely: "Some things... I don't remember very clearly."
Freckles wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and suddenly realized: "Oh, oh...it's like this, no wonder..." He easily accepted this statement.
It was really too fast to accept it, which made Lin Qiao feel a little strange.
Freckles didn't think too much, and said directly: "I don't know too much, but the order I received was to send you to the Abyss God Cult. After finishing this, I was sent here."
He complained, "Pur City is remote, and nothing is as good as Wangcheng."
Lin Qiao's heart skipped a beat.
The memory of the original owner was intermittent, and a large part was missing.Originally, he didn't care about it, and thought it was the sequelae left when he wore the book.
Now it seems that amnesia is not accidental, but inevitable.It seems that there is a force in the dark, which specially made him forget some key information.
Freckles was still whining and complaining.
The alchemy technology in Por City is really too backward, there is not even a four-wheeled alchemy cart, and you have to walk to the church every day.Also, the craftsmanship of the bakery is too poor, not as soft and delicious as Miss Jasmine's in Wangcheng...
While talking, the beer in the glass bottomed out again.
Freckles tapped on the table and poked his head out: "Bring me another glass of beer!"
When the beer was refilled, he thought of something, and asked: "How did you escape from the abyss?" He showed a vigilant look, "Could it be that you were possessed by a demon?"
Before Lin Qiao answered, Freckles said to himself, "Fortunately, you can't be possessed by a demon... But you are lucky, you didn't become the devil's meal..."
Lin Qiao followed his words and said, "Yes, I was lucky. I fell on the edge of the abyss. After walking for two days, I got out."
Freckles was already so drunk that he didn't notice the loophole: "Oh, oh, you are from Dawn City."
Lin Qiao nodded.
Freckles and a big tongue: "I heard the news that Dawn City is in chaos now. First, there was a riot of dark creatures, and then a dancing plague spread."
Lin Qiao's heart tightened: "Dancing plague?"
Freckles: "Yeah, people who got the plague would dance to death, but luckily, less than a hundred people were infected, and they were brought under control - people in the Holy Court suspected that it was a secret plot by the Holy See of Abundance. "
Lin Qiao: Don't doubt it, they did it.
But he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to respond: "Really? This is too much."
Freckles: "Yeah, I don't know what they are going to do. Now the Holy Court has sent people to collect evidence and prepare to confront the believers of the goddess of abundance." He said in a barely audible voice, "Maybe they will have to Start a battle of faith."
Lin Qiao still said the usual words: "Really? This is too much."
Freckles treated Lin Qiao as one of his own, and said a lot of things without restraint.But they are all miscellaneous and meaningless gossip secrets, and none of the really crucial things are mentioned.
For example, why should Lin Qiao be sent to the Temple of the Abyss.
For another example, why are they so sure that Abyss believers will choose Lin Qiao as a sacrifice.
Lin Qiao tested it twice, and felt that the freckles were not of much interest. It should not be hidden intentionally, but because she really didn't know.
But no matter what, he probably has some connection with the Holy Court of Light.
After secretly remembering this, Lin Qiao turned to other topics: "By the way, do you know Andy?"
Freckles was too absorbed in talking, and didn't hear it all at once: "Huh?"
Lin Qiao repeated: "Andy Knight, do you know him?"
Freckles: "Of course I know."
Freckles and Andy, one is a trainee priest and the other is a knight of light. Although their positions are different, they are both in the same system. They are more or less familiar with each other when they look down and see each other when they look up.
He asked, "Did you have something to do with him?"
Lin Qiao: "Well, can you take me to get to know each other?"
Freckles rolled his eyes: "Why did you go to him? This man is cold and hard, and it is difficult to say a word. If you need help, I can help you."
Lin Qiao said honestly, "You can't help."
Freckles: "You look down on people, don't you? If you don't tell me, how do you know if you can help?"
Lin Qiao had no choice but to say, "Can you help me deal with the Lord of the Abyss?"
There is no need to hide this.
After all, speaking of it, this matter is a bit absurd, even if it is said, others will probably only regard it as a joke.
Freckles really laughed out loud, "You're kidding me." After he finished laughing, he said, "Princess Dolly asked him to go out on some errands, and he probably won't be back until tomorrow."
"That's good, you come to church to find me tomorrow, and I will take you to see him."
……
After chatting for a while, Lin Qiao finished the cup of sweet drink and bid farewell to Freckles.
After leaving the tavern, the sky outside was slightly gloomy, and there were fewer people on the street.
I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and it was already afternoon.
Lin Qiao thought about Arthur and quickened his pace.
Go around two streets and go back to the beginning.
There are few people on the street, and their faces are in a hurry.Only Arthur stood upright on the street corner, like a puppy that was forgotten here.
Lin Qiao watched from a distance: "Arthur!" He came to Arthur, "Why don't you find a place to sit?"
Arthur: "Wait for you."
Lin Qiao felt that Arthur was really too stupid.
Believe everything you say, let him wait here, he really doesn't even move his footsteps, just standing there in a daze.
He said, "What if I don't come back? You just keep waiting?"
Arthur's pupils deepened slightly, and his tone was calm: "Well, wait."
Easy to say.
But he knew that Qiao Qiao couldn't escape the control of the abyss.He has long left the mark of the abyss on Jojo.
Jojo...is his.
He once let go and let Jojo go.
Since he didn't leave, then Qiao Qiao could never escape again.Not even death can take away his Jojo.
Lin Qiao suddenly felt a slight chill on the back of his neck. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and muttered, "Arthur, you should be careful. What if you get tricked?"
Arthur lowered his eyelids: "No."
Lin Qiao snorted: "I don't believe it." He paused, "However, with me here, I won't let others bully you."
Arthur: "...um."
Lin Qiao approached the past, thinking: "We will stay in Poor City for two more days, until Andy comes back..."
Arthur heard someone else's name from Lin Qiao's mouth again.
Andy...
He chewed the name silently, and even felt a wave of irritability.
He hates this man.
Especially when Qiao Qiao mentioned this person, his eyes would shine brightly, which was particularly dazzling.
Arthur's pupils darkened, his face was calm, but there were dark tides underneath.
Just kill this guy.
He made a decision casually.
Walking through an alley, it faintly fell down.
A strand of the shadow behind him split off and plunged into the darkness.
Lin Qiao looked over: "Arthur, why are you so quiet?"
Arthur's eyelashes fluttered, probably because he doesn't smile often, and he showed a jerky smile.
Lin Qiao seemed to have discovered a new world: "Arthur, you can actually smile." He reached out to touch, "It's better to smile more..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone grabbed his wrist first.
Lin Qiao was surprised: "Arthur?"
He opened his palm unconsciously, and he could see a piece of skin had been rubbed off from the tiger's mouth, and there was still a little blood left.
It happened when I climbed over the wall just now.
Lin Qiao didn't pay attention to it all the time, but now that he moved like this, a little blood seeped out from the wound.
Originally, the skin was thin and tender, but a piece of fair skin was broken, which looked particularly shocking.
Lin Qiao wanted to pull his hand back, but Arthur's strength was neither light nor heavy, and was about to restrain his wrist, making him unable to move.
Arthur looked carefully at the wound.
Lin Qiao's voice was a little weak: "What's so interesting about this..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
Arthur lowered his crow-feather eyelashes, tried to stick out his tongue, licked the wound on his palm, and rolled the scarlet blood into his mouth.
It was obviously an unspeakable thing, but he did it piously and seriously.
is sweet.
Sweeter than the bread and jam just now.
Arthur's pupils tightened suddenly, and the residual horn on his forehead was about to move.
He is hungry.
Not the physical kind of hunger, but a higher level... hunger.
He licked it again.
It left a wet, shiny mark on the white palm.
Not enough, not far enough.
The demon's desires are endless and can never be satisfied.When you have a little, you want more.
Lin Qiao felt a little itchy in his palm, and pushed him: "Arthur, why are you like a puppy, you have to lick everything? It's dirty here."
Arthur raised his eyelids with a particularly serious tone.He said, "Jojo, I'm not a dog."
is the devil.
A greedy, hard-to-fill, insatiable demon.
