In the eyes of Shaphinus, Gasha, Anita, LAN, and even the Moon, they were all just half-grown children who had never experienced the terror of the undead, so they could not clearly grasp the severity of the situation, and it was understandable that they would speak willful words, but Randy tried to stop the vampires from joining the alliance. Faced with such things, he could no longer stand by and do nothing. No more attention, no concern.
The day before the League meeting, while Shafinus was having an open and honest talk with Randy and Ace, LAN went down to the temple accompanied by Garcia and Anita.
The representatives attending the meeting at the temple did not change because of the Pope's arrival, and LAN needed a suitable position, so he went for a rank test, and after successfully releasing the "Miracle of the Holy Light", he unsurprisingly obtained the status of the twentieth rank of the Light Priest.
"I never expected that since the fall of the Son of God 200 years ago, there would be a 20-rank light priest in the temple again." The Pope said with deep emotion as he personally conferred the rank on him.
"200 years ago?" LAN suddenly froze, "May I ask the name of the son of God?"
The descent of the Son of God was not smooth. The Pope wore a contemplative expression. "That time the children of God were twins, as people say, ominous twins." The Pope, who looked much older than the Sith High priest, seemed to be lost in recollection at the moment. "They were two very beautiful girls, raised by the papacy to the age of ten, and at the age of ten, they already had the power of a sage."
What happened later? Gasiah glanced at Anita and asked.
"The devil bewitched them, and the two children left the papacy and were never seen again." The Pope sighed with regret, "We were too careless."
"The two children were not bewitched by demons to leave the papacy; they just wanted to see the outside world with their own eyes." "After leaving the temple, they quietly left the city, feeling the scent of nature, very excited, but as the day grew darker, they found that they had lost their way. The two children saved an injured Kelby by the deep water swamp and named her Karen, and the beast, in return, raised the two children."
The Pope looked at Anita in astonishment, opened his mouth but did not know what to say.
"But one day a man, a woman, came into the deep marshland and said to the two children, 'I can give you power if you kill each other! 'Then she gave each of them a sword. The elder sister took the cursed dark sword, and the younger sister took the blessed Light sword, and then the battle began. Anita Talia went on.
"You are... You are... The Pope trembled with excitement but could not utter a complete sentence.
"I couldn't believe until I lost consciousness that my sister who defended me would actually kill me..." Anita Talia's gaze was somewhat sad. "Later I learned that the woman was the king of the demons... Then where was the light that I believed in at the end? !"
"You are Anne... You are Anita Talia... The Pope reached out his hand, trying to hold Anita's hand, but she nimbly dodged it, and couldn't help being somewhat astonished.
"While wandering in the endless darkness, I have already desponded the gods I believe in." The calm tone of Anita, without the slightest ripple, said firmly, very firmly, "whoever can give me light is my god, and the one who awakens me, even the demons of hell, will have all of Anne."
The Pope, seeing Anita so resolute, sighed, "Well, since you have been reborn, there is no more of you in the papacy, do whatever you want." With that, he waved his hand and let them go.
The high priest of the Sith escorted them to the door. On the way, LAN also proposed to leave the temple after the incident of the dead, though regretful, he did not want to bind him here.
"Whether you belong to the church in the future or not, your status as the High Priest of Light will remain." Finally, the Sith high priest looked at LAN, "God is everywhere, as long as there is light in your heart, the great God of Light will not be stingy with his favor."
LAN nodded gently, saying that too much gratitude was unnecessary. "I want Gasiah to be with me."
"His situation is a bit special, and the situation is complicated now, he can leave to avoid being exposed." That would be a promise. "I'll send you here. There will be a battle of words tomorrow. You'd better rest early."
It was only then that they realized it was pitch-dark outside.
Back at the house, Anita Talia, under the pretext of not being able to get up tomorrow, lay in LAN's bed.
Looking at the girl sleeping soundly on the bed under the moonlight, LAN smiled affectionately. It was not that he had never met women; on the contrary, the number of women he had had relations with was so numerous that he couldn't even count them all. However, those were just passers-by in his life, and hardly anyone could leave an impression in his memory.
The only impression has vanished with the silver arrow...
The moonlight shone on LAN's chest, which was exposed by her unfastened nightgown buckle, and countless veins could be clearly seen, interwoven with the fluorescent red crystals, a strange feeling as if a large, plain fluorescent red crystal had been embedded in a human body.
Even more astonishingly, under the moonlight, the glowing red crystals were shrinking little by little and transforming into normal human skin, and in a moment, all the crystals had completely turned into skin!
LAN did not move his body until the sky was just beginning to brighten, then fastened the buckle and left the window.
"Anne, get up!" After waking up Anita, he also began to change his clothes. Chiba robes floated up under his skillful magic manipulation and then spread out in layers with a whoosh.
The innermost layer was a tight, deep purple long gown and long trousers. Anita watched LAN so neatly put them on her body, covering the naked body that made her heart flutter. LAN's naked body was not something she had seen for the first time. In fact, there was no secret to her in the body, whether it was LAN or the illusion LAN had turned into.
Next, layer upon layer of clothes, gradually thinned down to the outermost, pure moon white, followed by the magnificent cloak with black feathers on both sides, fastened in front of the chest with buckles, and decorated buckles around the waist and abdomen, LAN turned out the overly long cuffs, revealing the elaborate patterns deliberately designed for the folds inside, Then a forehead ornament made of diamond-shaped pieces of fire diamonds was brought out.
Anita Talia looked at LAN, who was already dressed, and for a moment she felt a sense that LAN was both far and close to her.
"Annie?" LAN smiled gently. He knew exactly how Anita was feeling now, just as he knew exactly what kind of shock he would make in this dress.
"Oh." Anita gave a strange response and got up from the bed, as if LAN had made no disguise in front of her, and her naked body made no disguise and emerged from under the covers, not at all feeling that there was anything wrong with LAN's gaze wandering over her, and even in the process of dressing, she stretched her body for LAN to enjoy to his heart's content!
Full breasts, flat bellies, straight and long legs, everything about her was so perfect that there was no need for any concealment!
It is impossible to say that LAN has no distractions in his mind. He has not eaten this feast that is right in front of his mouth. Even he himself is surprised. But after being with Anita, they seldom spend the night in a place with a roof. When they have more spacious conditions, it is either at school or when everyone is exhausted to death. A place like a tavern with a leaky door is not considered, for fear of disturbing the next room, for fear that the next room can't bear the trouble and rush in.
"May I ask if the grand priest LAN lives here?" No matter what LAN was lost in thought, people from the palace for meetings had already arrived on the street.
"Let's go." LAN pulled past Anita, "Just follow me after a moment. Garcia will be with you."
Anita nodded obediently.
Perhaps because there were actually four people in LAN's group, the carriage used to receive the distinguished guests immediately seemed a bit small. The ceremonial officer in charge of the reception felt a bit embarrassed and first invited LAN to get on the carriage, then turned to instruct the people behind to let the horses come out.
"No need to bother." "As a covenant knight, I'll just follow behind the carriage," said Gasiah.
Moon Seeker, without any command, has floated to LAN's side and rear, always in a position opposite LAN, and with his otherworldly appearance, it always gives people a strange feeling that he is something LAN.
When the carriage reached the palace gate, the sky was already completely bright, and there were many carriages of different colors parked at the gate.
"Lord LAN, please --" With the direction of the ceremonial officer, through a not-so-short corridor, they reached the front hall of the palace. There were already quite a few people in the hall, of different races or factions, gathered in twos and threes, whispering something.
The Golden throne on the north side was empty, indicating that His Majesty the King had not yet arrived. To the left of the throne, slightly to the west of the north, gathered a group of dwarves, all with red or brown beards without exception, and further to the left there was a group of dwarves with black beards, and the hostility between the two groups of dwarves seemed very obvious.
"The red-bearded ones are the forest dwarves, the brown-bearded ones are the cave dwarves, and the black-bearded ones are the Abyss Dwarves of the Dark Race." Sensing Anita's confusion, LAN whispered in her ear, because she had not officially entered the hall, the view from Anne's Angle was very limited.
"Grand Priest LAN --!" As the formulaic ending ceased, all eyes in the hall were fixed on LAN.
The representative of the temple was such a brilliant young man. To the left of LAN was the ever-floating Moon Xi, whose pale blue clothes fluttered gently with the magic around him, and the wind that formed only around him would not affect anyone around him. Beside Yuxi was the flawless Anita Talia, whose blue eyes were always looking around with a hint of curiosity, innocent enough to make everyone who saw her feel the urge to protect. And after them was the one who should have followed, Gasiah. After all, the two in the middle had nothing to do with the temple at all. In fact, he himself had no connection with the temple at all. So whether he followed in the name of the Covenant Knight or as a friend or as an elder brother, he was no different in essence from the first two.
LAN chose the position closest to the door. Garcia sat on his left, and Anita sat on his right. Yue Xi did not sit, but still floated behind him to the left.
In response to Anitalia's curiosity, LAN explained to her the characteristics of the different people and races around him, the forest elves with green eyes and pointed ears were the prairie elves, the prairie elves mostly wore long bows, while the forest elves' bows were shorter, the darker elves were the dark elves, but the most important distinction of the dark elves, apart from the elves' pointed ears, The black hair and eyes of the elves.
Those with beast-like patterns on their faces are orcs. That near-giant is the king of Orcs, from Beamun. The two guards beside him, one from Tiger and one from leopard, and the somewhat disgusting fellow beside him is a branch of Tautaur, who are close friends with orcs. They are also orcs, but because of racial division, they have established their own tribe. Just like a human nation.
"The demons seem to have only the fifth warrior and her deputy." Gasiah whispered in LAN's ear.
"If the demons stand against each other, will the high-ranking god-level demons take part in the battle?" LAN suddenly asked.
"No, upper-level demons like the gatekeepers of hell, they actually no longer belong to the demon world." Gasiah frowned, "But the deputy general of the Ferad warrior, I always find strange, very familiar."
"Of course it looks familiar, but what about the spell teacher who knows it's not feasible and still tries to trick you!" There was a hint of sharpness in Anita's tone. Seeing the puzzled look in Gasiah's eyes, she reached out and coiled her long hair over her head.
Garcia finally understood where the familiarity was. Anita's fully exposed face was exactly the same as that deputy general's!
"That's Annashelia... The world is really small..." LAN sighed, and suddenly laughed again, looking at Anita, who looked like she wanted to bite, "You've been exchanging flirtatious glances for so long. What conclusion have you come to?"
Seemingly startled by LAN's teasing tone, Anita glared at LAN fiercely, "What kind of flirtatious glances? Don't you see we're competing? "!"
"If you don't like her, I'll find an opportunity to help you deal with her." LAN whispered.
"His Majesty the King has arrived --!" The sound came layer upon layer, with an indescribable sense of majesty, and the hall fell silent at once, but after a moment, the figure of "His Majesty the King" still did not appear.
Time passed by second by second, and it seemed that a question emerged in everyone's mind: What's wrong with the king? !
