"If you want to kill me, just do it. Good luck."
"Humph!" In the face of Faceless One's ridicule, Ferdinand angrily snorted and then suppressed his anger with great patience.
Although he had never personally experienced the fourth trial of the champion, he knew the general outline. In that trial, the fighting ability was not important. What was important was the ability to deal with all kinds of emergencies, as well as the ability to flexibly use the rules to attack the opponent. In this regard, Wang Lu's performance in the first three trials was enough to frighten people.
The only one who could compete with Wang Lu in this regard was Faceless One. Therefore, he must restrain himself!
"Faceless One, what are your odds of winning against that Wang Lu?"
Faceless One completely didn't know how to appreciate kindness. He sneered and said, "Ridiculous question, if I say I have no ten percent, will you give up? If I say I have one hundred percent, will you believe me? "
"Don't be so shameless!"
Just as the situation became more and more rigid, a gentle voice suddenly came in. "Faceless, I also want to know this question. Is it convenient for you to explain it to me?"
Hearing this voice, even Faceless One was surprised. "The Pope?"
On the other hand, Paul and Ferdinand bowed at the first instant, not daring to delay at all. Although they were all legendary figures, the Pope, as the number one person in Holy Light Religion, was also likely the existence closest to the God Realm in the entire Western Continent, thus, his status was far higher than other legendary figures.
"No need to be so polite, I'm just an avatar projection. I came here to understand the situation. Faceless, what card do you have in your hand?"
Paul and Ferdinand both looked at Faceless One. Since the Pope personally asked, presumably he would not dare to conceal it. However, Faceless One still shook his head. "I can't say it, because it would be meaningless."
"Impudent!" Ferdinand angrily shouted. In the doctrine of Holy Light Religion, the Pope was the personification of the sea of holy light. Being disrespectful to the Pope could be described as the greatest blasphemy.
The Pope himself was exceptionally magnanimous. "No harm, since you don't want to say it, then forget it. However, this time's action …"
Faceless One disdainfully said, "Do you think I need you to remind me? If I was like these two idiots who needed reminders for everything, I wouldn't be alive today. "
"Hahaha!" Regarding Faceless One's impudence, the Pope unexpectedly laughed in relief. "Good, very good! I can finally leave this place to you without any worries. "
Faceless One waved his hand. "Get the hell out of here. You shouldn't be so relaxed that you have the leisure to come here to show off, right?"
The Pope nodded, and the avatar projection gradually dissipated.
Beside Faceless One, the administrator of the King's Treasure House and the Supreme Inquisitor were stunned.
In this world, there was actually someone who dared to speak to the Pope like that? As the leader of Holy Light Religion, the Pope paid great attention to maintaining the dignity of himself and the Church. Anyone who dared to speak disrespectfully in front of him would be severely and justly punished. Even the high-ranking Archbishop of the Church was no exception. They had once seen with their own eyes a cardinal who was a powerful figure in a region.
In front of the Pope's scepter, that cardinal vanished in a puff of smoke. Just because, when he met the Pope, he intentionally used the wrong honorific to test and challenge the authority of the Pope.
The Pope's strictness was absolute. The only exception was this scene before them. This was the first time they saw the Pope indulging a person to such an extent that they couldn't help but wonder, what was the relationship between this mysterious Faceless One and the Pope? Could it be...
Faceless One lightly said, "I am the Pope."
"What!?" "That's impossible!"
"Humph, two idiots." Faceless One coldly snorted. "Enough, get ready to enter the trial passage. The fourth level is about to begin."
—
"Phew, this time the stairs are so long."
Standing on the long stairs leading to the fourth level, Wang Lu stopped and somewhat wearily sighed.
"Let's take a break here." With that, he directly sat cross-legged on the ground and divided part of his mind to meditate and restore his magical power.
Aya and the others looked at him with a slightly strange look — was Wang Lu tired?
He was indeed tired.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Wang Lu's first three levels were simply an understatement, like a hot knife through butter, but as the person involved, Wang Lu did not look as relaxed as it seemed.
The first three levels were indeed very fast, but each level was like walking on a tightrope. A little bit of carelessness and he would fall into a bottomless abyss. For example, in the first level, the fake wine cup, the guardian of the stone gate, relying on his obsession, increased his strength for thousands of years and was already close to the legendary level. With a roar, he could sweep away all the clouds in the sky within a radius of a hundred miles. If a fight really broke out, how long could the Knight King, who was not even as good as the salted egg Superman, resist?
In the second level, the labyrinth, Wang Lu crushed all the way with his original magical ability, digging through the walls and digging through the ground in an inhumane straight line! However, how could the danger of defending the space barrier of the King's Treasure House be ordinary? A little bit of carelessness would cause the suppression of the entire Treasure House, and Wang Lu's mere Xudan level magical ability would immediately collapse!
As for the third level, using the fake gold medal to deter the golden guardians, it was also a risky move. If Tannu's control over the army exceeded his expectation, he would immediately make a fool of himself. Perhaps he could persist for a while with his Non-Phase Sword's heaven defying defense, but his tower defense strategy would completely collapse. Without the defense tower, in the face of hundreds of tireless golden guardians, Wang Lu would not be able to persist until the end.
In every level, he almost risked his life. Moreover, every time, he personally stood on the front line. Although it seemed easy, the pressure was real. Even if Wang Lu's psychological quality was good, it was inevitable that he would be somewhat tired.
"Senior Brother, are you tired?"
Liu Li cautiously asked.
Wang Lu touched her head and said with a smile, "Tired? What a joke, I can fight you for three hundred rounds at any time. Liu Li, you don't have to worry about me, you just have to be obedient and take care of yourself, understand? "
Liu Li nodded. "I know, Master said the same thing before we went down the mountain."
"Mm, be good, when we get back, I'll treat you to a big meal."
According to the usual practice, the dialogue between the Brothers and Sisters should end here. However, this time, Liu Li hesitated for a moment and then suddenly asked, "Senior Brother, can you assign me more tasks? I … I have become stronger than before."
Wang Lu gawked for a moment. He didn't expect Liu Li to say such a thing. After thinking for a moment, Wang Lu looked at her from head to toe and then nodded in praise. "I haven't paid attention to you for a while, but you're indeed a bit bigger, in sharp contrast to a certain person who couldn't grow for more than one hundred years."
Aya closed her eyes. "Is that 'that person in sharp contrast' referring to me?"
Wang Lu comforted her. "Don't mind it, you're also of rare value." Then he turned around and said to Liu Li, "This doesn't seem like a request that you would make. Liu Li, did you experience something some time ago?"
Liu Li thought for a moment. "I found a dessert shop in Dragon City …"
Around them, Aya and Bai Shixuan couldn't help but smile. If it were someone else, this kind of unclear thinking pattern would certainly give them a headache. However, when it came to Liu Li, they couldn't find it annoying.
And according to Wang Lu's theory, the reason for this was very simple: Because Liu Li was too beautiful...
"In addition to the dessert shop, there's also a barbecue game that's also very good. It's just opposite the dessert shop. In addition … "Liu Li's eyes shone as she recollected her memories.
Wang Lu frowned. "Wait a minute, I asked the wrong question … How about this, you write down the recipes for the past month for me, in chronological order from the back to the front. Don't forget to write down the water you drink."
Liu Li let out an 'oh' sound and didn't ask why. She just honestly wrote it down. As a sword cultivator, her fingers and wrist were extremely nimble. In a twinkling of an eye, she had filled several sheets of paper and finally finished writing down the recipes for the first morning.
Aya couldn't help but shake her head and then curiously asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so serious? During this period of time, Liu Li's progress is indeed great. Soon, she can try the King Pill, so it's normal for her to be proactive. "
Wang Lu said, "Don't think that I'm making a fuss about nothing. Liu Li's Brilliant Sword Heart has been cultivated to this day … Her whole person is pure and spotless, the same inside and out. However, on the other hand, even a trace of dust would be particularly conspicuous. With her character, she goes with the flow and doesn't care about the outside world. In addition to food and Immortal Cultivation, have you ever seen her take the initiative to ask for anything? Especially after she came to the Western Continent, she was entrusted by the Elders on the mountain to listen to my instructions in everything. Therefore, she never takes the initiative to ask for anything … It's really hard to imagine that she would say those words for no reason. "
"... So that's how it is." Aya looked at Wang Lu's serious expression and inwardly sighed.
Wang Lu really doted on Liu Li. Moreover, he took good care of her. However, a girl like Liu Li would, of course, be likable. Therefore, it was natural for Wang Lu to like her.
Before long, Liu Li had written a thick stack of paper from memory. One month's recipes were all listed on it. Not even a cup of water was left out.
Wang Lu picked up the recipe and carefully reviewed it. His reading speed was very fast. In just a cup of tea time, he had finished reading hundreds of pages of paper. He closed his eyes and sorted out his thoughts for a moment. Then, he opened one of the pages, pointed to a line of words and asked, "Liu Li, on this day, which is the day when we just won the Blood Holy Knights in Dragon City, I gave you a holiday to eat and drink in the commercial district. But, what's with this drink? "
Aya leaned over to take a look and saw that Liu Li's diet record was very detailed. In addition to what she ate and drank, even the time she used to eat was clearly written. This memory was really admirable.
And at the place where Wang Lu pointed, it was written: A cup of cold drink from a kind-hearted person. X hour X minute to X hour X minute.
"What's wrong with this paragraph?"
Wang Lu said, "There are two problems. First, I told her that the food given by strangers must not be eaten or even touched easily. I don't think Liu Li would disobey my order for no reason. Second … it took too long. How could it take so long to drink a cup of drink? "
Aya laughed in spite of herself. "Of course, a drink needs to be tasted slowly, not drunk."
Wang Lu coldly said, "What kind of person do you think Liu Li is? It's not like you haven't seen her eat! "
