Stepping out of the Auckland Chapel's ornate arches with foliage patterns, you will be greeted by a paved pavement of white jade slabs, with the gods and carvings standing on both sides of the road, as if they were the guardians of the Grand Cathedral and the glorious city. Among them, the statue of the twelve holy spirits headed by the goddess of glory is naturally the most majestic and expressive.

But in fact, the High Demons had indeed appeared in a swaggering manner twelve hours earlier, no more than 30 kilometers away from the Great Holy Church, which had been blessed by the Holy Spirits.

They annihilated a royal ranger, slaughtered five mountain people who were collecting medicine, and then, met a group of boys and girls who were camping and poaching nearby, possessed by the protagonist's aura, and then, there was no more.

A group of high-level demons only got more than a dozen villagers A and miscellaneous soldiers B, and the abyss demon refining team led by them fled directly. In terms of results, this is already equivalent to a slap in the face through space and barriers, giving the King of Calamity a ruthless mouth.

From another point of view, after twenty years, the High Demon has once again appeared in the mortal world, and the location is still in the ruling center of the strongest empire of mankind and the largest supporter of the Templars, which has to make the "relevant departments" think about it.

Lu Xi's later account made the bishop and the officials of the Privy Council sweat even more. If that group of cultists really succeeded, on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet, a high-level demon drilled out of the crystal hall, what would be the consequences......

First, the two families of lions and wolves were merged, and now there are demons indiscriminately, and the Sun King's eightieth birthday is really lively, and I don't know if his old man can hold it.

The square and main road in front of the Great Church are still full of traffic. For ordinary people, if there is no demon who really jumps in front of them, grinning and preparing to eat people, it is simply a legend in books. The various investigations conducted by the officials and the church in the shadows are nothing more than a cloud, and they do not affect their good mood at all.

Well, even if it is to not spoil the good mood of the people of the imperial capital, this celebration must continue. In a sense, the emperor is really hard work!

Lu Xi put his palm on his forehead, watched the sunlight pass through his fingers, turning a refreshing red, and then stretched hard.

Spending the night in a secluded cubicle in the Great Church with a few old men and uncles, listening to them ask almost the same questions and tangled up every detail of the time, is itself more tiring than torture?

"I'm going home to catch up on sleep." Lu Xi said to Artoria, "You can also go back and have a good rest." You should be tired from fighting with the High Demons just after being brought back by the group of paladins who rushed over and asking questions all night, right? ”

As soon as Artoria nodded, her stomach made a loud "grunt" sound. She was stunned for a few seconds, then her face turned red and her head bowed. The past twenty-four hours have probably been the most blushing days in Artoria's life.

"Ahh It's already morning. Lu Xi knocked his palm with his fist, "It just so happens that my stomach is also hungry, let's go eat." ”

"Tsk...... When did you become so considerate? Sehireu pursed his mouth in a tasteful manner and muttered in a low voice, "Why are you so fierce when you're with me?" ”

Artoria reacted at this time, Lu Xi was relieving herself, and suddenly showed a grateful look.

"So, what are we going to eat?"

The maiden knight thought for a moment and looked eagerly: "Last time I saw a restaurant called Egret Pavilion in the magazine "Natya's Gastronomy", it was a ten-minute walk along this Bedano Street. Their breakfast set also got a 5-star rating .........,

So you also ordered the food magazine that was distributed in the Federation? Well, is your main selling point a foodie, a knight, or a natural stay?

Lu Xi was about to agree, but saw that the corners of his sleeves were pulled. He turned his head, and what caught his eyes was naturally a pair of clear pupils as large as emeralds and godless.

"Lim?"

"Baked muffins across the street." The emerald girl still made that inorganic voice without any fluctuations.

"This ......"

"Baked muffins across the street." Lim repeated.

At this time, Artoria's voice also interjected in a very appropriate way: "I have long wanted to taste the so-called five-star food recommended by magazines. Mr. Lu Xi, can we go together? ”

Lu Xi was sweating profusely for a moment.

Sehireu stood aside with his hands folded, his face full of obvious schadenfreude.

Of course, if as a certain point traverser on the journey to the sea of the Crystal Palace, the sisters can't even get a low-intensity conflict that can't even be considered a warm-up, it will be too much of a failure.

"Ah, it's already this time? After all, I'm a member of the Federal Embassy, so I have to clock in and out of work! Otherwise, you will be deducted from your salary at the end of the month. ”

…… It's clearly an ostrich, is this a solution?

Sehira's gaze was close to looking at the class enemy, as if to say, "Who are you fooling?" When did you clock in to work? ”

"So, it's really not going to work today." Lu Xi made a helpless expression to Artoria: "Next time, I'll treat you." ”

Artoria bit her lip and bowed her head slightly with an imperceptible amplitude, finally reluctantly agreeing, and then said in a chivalric tone: "Then, just wait for your good news." I take my leave. Have a great day. ”

"Have a great day, too." Lu Xi could only answer in the same way. As soon as the words "treat" came out, Lu Xi thought of Artoria's meal, and his face turned green again.

Although Lu Xi's face turned green, Lim and Sai Xiliu's mood suddenly improved.

Lu Xi had a bitter face, looked at Lim and Sai Xiliu, who were in a good mood, and then looked at Artoria, who was not in a good mood, and finally glared at Olivier, who had been watching everyone interact with him with a painful smile, and pointed at him: "You, come with me, I have something to say to you!" ”

"Oh yes oh yes? Lucy and my friend finally remembered me as a best friend? Want to give me a parting hug? It's okay, don't be shy, it's okay here...... Well, okay, I'll come with you. ”

Under the coercion of the staff, Olivier followed Lu Xi to a secluded place at the base of the temple wall. Under the cover of the roots of the walls and the shadows of the trees, the Star Spirit quietly revealed.

"Oops, isn't this Master Orucello's astral spirit summoning? It turns out that little Lucy has cultivated to this point. Sure enough, the dignified goddess of Ringu must be a genius. ”

For this person's intermittent convulsions and nymphomaniac, Lu Xi is already very indifferent. He just glanced at the other party coldly, and said to Xing Ling, "Anji, give me the fox." ”

Angie opened her arms, revealing two warm little lilac furballs in her arms.

Olivier looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be slightly moved: "This, this...... Isn't this the legendary Rare Beast, the Purple Fox of Seroxia? ”

"We're all treated like poachers anyway, so we just don't do anything." Lu Xi smiled: "Give this pair of little foxes to Artoria." We must support the daughter's filial piety to her mother. ”

“…… Alas, what a complicated feeling! Olivier smiled bitterly and sighed, and took over the two little foxes that were sleeping in a daze: "Lucy friend, do you know that if this continues, it is only a matter of time before Artoria is captured by you?" ”…,

"Gah?"

"For the elder brother, any danger should be strangled in the cradle...... However, little Lucy and I have a deep relationship with a brother than a brother, so what should I do?

"You can go and ask the goddess." Lu Xi said coldly.

"Don't bother the goddess, I can decide for myself." Olivier smiled and said, "I don't know what little Lucy learned the Heavenly Dome Sword Technique, and I don't know how you can suddenly comprehend the Anger Seed. However, with these conditions and Artoria's approval, you can join the Royal Order of Nord in a grand manner. ”

"Are you trying to get me to change jobs?"

"Hehe, if little Lucy joins the Royal Knights, won't she be able to pursue Artoria with dignity?"

"You just want to marry your sister off so much? Is this also worthy of being a sister? Don't destroy your personality casually, hey, please continue to be honest and undisciplined. ”

"Of course not, if it's someone else, but if it's little Lucy...... Hey, hey, don't worry, whether it's mom and dad or two foolish brothers, they'll like it when they see you. Anything like the bastard who covets his daughter and sister and feeds the white bears is impossible to do in Vegea! ”

"You've done something like this before! Otherwise, how could this tone be so skillful? Hey, give me an honest answer! ”

After sending Olivier and Artoria away, Lu Xi naturally didn't go to work to clock in, he originally went back to make up for a sleep. It's a pity that as soon as he got home, he knew that his afternoon nap was gone with the wind again.

Two old men sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room, holding milky white porcelain cups, sipping elegant drinks. The smell of tea in the kitchen and living room was permeating, and Lu Xi only felt a "chuckle" in his heart. He knew that the little tea he had left this year had been ruined by these two old men.

One of the old men is, of course, Orucello. The other old man, dressed in a plain white robe, with kind eyebrows and a clear face, and a long white beard that hung down to his chest, looked like an old scholar of high moral standing in an academy, or an old country priest who was very much loved by children and farmers.

"This is the Cardinal of the Diocese of Auckland, Grand Church, His Majesty the High Priest of the Goddess of Radiance, His Majesty Anthony St. de la Vlavo." Orucello introduced as he sipped his tea.
