It was obvious that Eliza was here to look for Chen Rui, not Paolo. Chen Rui did not know what Eliza was trying to do with this insignificant follower of hers. He had originally wanted to gather information about the Sacred Mountain, especially the location of the Snowy Peak Platform, but now he had no choice but to postpone it.
"Miss Eliza, what can I do for you?" Chen Rui had seen Eliza's power in the assassination practice in Garton City last time, so he followed Eliza carefully all the way with a respectful expression toward the powerhouse.
"Why are you so reserved?" Eliza giggled. "Thank you for reminding me in Garton City, otherwise I would have died long ago. Since you have come to White Cliff this time, I can repay you."
"Actually, I didn't do anything that time." Chen Rui smiled bitterly, pointing at the little thunderbird on his shoulder. "Come to think of it, the real credit belongs to this little thunderbird."
"Then I'll repay it as well." Eliza's fingers danced in a strange rhythm, waving in front of the little thunderbird. She then slowly reached out, wanting to touch the little thunderbird. Who knew that the little thunderbird would not be moved, staring at the hand that was reaching out, the feathers on its head standing up, showing a desperate look.
Eliza retracted her hand and stuck out her tongue. "What a difficult little guy to tame. It seems like my beast-taming skills are much worse than your Soul Whisper. It doesn't appreciate my kindness."
Admittedly, the action of sticking out her tongue was very cute, but Chen Rui knew that this seemingly innocent girl was hiding a sinister side. In fact, Alice often used this expression, and it was truly cute. Thinking of a certain little loli that he had not seen in a long time, Chen Rui could not help but show a trace of warmth in his eyes.
This expression was caught by Eliza, and she thought that her performance was a success. She was secretly pleased. "Let's go, Richard. Since this is your first time at White Cliff, I'll show you around."
"Erm, Miss Eliza, I still have a very important mission to help Sir Paul find out …"
"Here is a booklet that records the list and information of all the participants of the Temple Knight Selection. I wanted to give it to Paul, but I 'accidentally' forgot just now. I wonder if you can pass it to him for me? " Eliza took out a small booklet and waved it. It was obvious that she was giving him the credit. Chen Rui could only nod with a pleasantly surprised expression.
Eliza brought Chen Rui around Holy Light City. In terms of prosperity, Holy Light City was inferior to Dragon Brilliance Empire's capital, Yerodisha. However, the unique charm and atmosphere of a religious city was something that Yerodisha did not possess. Buildings and cultural goods with the theme of light faith could be seen everywhere. Every corner of the city was filled with dense faith power. Even in ordinary places, the density of faith power was no less than the Hall of Faith in Garton City.
This kind of faith power was very tempting to Chen Rui, but with the precedent of Yangshao's capital, he did not dare to easily let Shura devour this faith. At the very least, he could not act rashly before he obtained the Snow Dallet.
"Hey, Richard, why are you in a daze again?" Eliza stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "How are the people I just met?"
"What do you mean how are they?" Chen Rui was startled. Eliza was very familiar with Holy Light City, introducing him to many people along the way.
Eliza revealed a strange expression and pulled him to a corner, saying in a low voice, "You don't like those people? There's one who looks quite similar to Paul. "
"Ah? Ah? Ah! " Chen Rui was stunned for a moment before he finally reacted. So Eliza's real intention was to … pimp!
Ugh! Eliza was actually introducing him to men!
In that instant, Chen Rui felt worse than if he had swallowed a dead rat. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Back then, in order to deal with Eliza's suspicions, he had fabricated a poignant story about a chance encounter with a beautiful elf. In the story, a beautiful female elf died in the arms of Pig's Feet and gave the power of the Soul Whisper to Pig's Feet. Perhaps it was some kind of spiritual hint from his lover before she died, but Pig's Feet lost all hope and seemed to have lost interest in women.
That was the end of the story. At that time, he had successfully muddled his way through, but now, Eliza had come up with a follow-up plot. She had even "kindly" introduced men to him. Most of them were muscular men. What made him even more speechless was that there was even a guy who looked like Paul Shaw.
Holy shit! How dare you treat me as a submissive! No matter what, this bro is also an attacker … Ah pui! What kind of nonsense is this? From top to bottom, from front to back, left to right, all I like are girls!
Then, from Eliza's point of view, the real reason for Chen Rui's loyalty to Paul should be because of the hidden … gay love in his heart.
If Isabella dared to have such doubts, Chen Rui would have immediately pressed her down on the ground and had sex with her to prove his sexual orientation. However, now that Eliza was introducing a "boyfriend" like this, Chen Rui did not know if it was a test, but no matter what, this kind of sex appeal definitely could not be sacrificed.
"Miss Eliza, I think … you have misunderstood." Chen Rui finally squeezed out a sentence.
"No misunderstanding, you don't have to explain." Eliza patted him "considerately", "I understand."
Understand your ass! Chen Rui almost wanted to jump up and scold her whole family for being gay.
"Miss Eliza, you really have misunderstood. I … am not interested in men at all." Chen Rui said hesitantly, "Actually, after that time, I really don't have any special feelings for human women, but if it's possible, I want to find a woman from the elven race …"
"The elven race?" Eliza only then realized that she had made a mistake.
The men and women of the elven race were all handsome and beautiful. Many high officials and nobles coveted the beauty of the elves, but the elves were not to be trifled with. Other than possessing great power, they also signed an alliance agreement with one of the two holy empires, the Rayo Empire. Any human who dared to capture the elves would be listed as an enemy of the Rayo Empire, and would be jointly punished by the Jadeite Forest Sea and the Rayo Empire.
The Rayo Empire was also known as the Magic Empire. It was the location of the Sorcerer Union, and it gathered the pinnacle of the human world, the most elite magic power. Every city had a Mage Tower and all kinds of magic devices, and with the support of the elves, its power was not inferior to the Long Huang Empire.
"I can't do anything about the elves." Eliza spread her hands, "I do know a half-elf female, but that woman is sinister and vicious. She's not as easy to get along with as I am …"
Love was a wonderful thing that often could not be restricted by race. There were many examples of human and elf unions in history. However, compared to the elves who had a lifespan of thousands of years, the human lifespan was too short, so this kind of marriage was naturally extremely short.
Chen Rui now knew that the human world was not like the Demon Realm, which had a single reproductive race. Instead, there were a large number of hybrids. Half-elves were hybrids born from elves and other races (mainly humans in this case). The life of half-elves was twice as long as ordinary humans, but it was shorter than the real elves. Most of their appearance inherited the handsomeness and beauty of the elves, but there were differences in individual characteristics, such as ears.
However, half-elves were often not recognized by the real elves. Most of them lived in human society. Their handsome appearance was easily accepted by humans, but part of the elven bloodline would also be rejected. Moreover, because they could not receive the protection of the elves, they would sometimes attract unexpected disasters.
As Eliza spoke, her eyes suddenly flashed, and the corner of her mouth curled into a smile, "You're lucky, Richard. We just talked about this matter, and a half-elf immediately came."
Chen Rui noticed that Eliza used the word 'only', and from her tone and expression, there seemed to be strong hostility. Following her gaze, he saw a woman walking towards the small square in front. This woman had a graceful figure, fair skin, long blonde hair, and beautiful facial features. However, her whole person seemed cold, as if the words' Strangers Do Not Approach 'were written on her.
"Sister Miranda!" Eliza shouted loudly, holding Chen Rui's arm intimately as they walked towards the woman.
Miranda saw Eliza walking over with a man on her arm, and frowned, "Eliza, what's the matter?"
Her voice was as cold as her appearance.
"Can't you greet me if there's nothing? My dear senior, we're both Master's disciples. If you're so unreasonable, I'll be sad. "
Another disciple of the Saintess?
The relevant data displayed in the Analytical Eye made Chen Rui's eyes slightly brighten. No wonder there was a sense of familiarity, so …
"Sad?" A trace of mockery flashed past Miranda's green eyes, and her gaze fell on Chen Rui, who had a thunderbird perched on his shoulder, "Who is he?"
"You don't know him?" Eliza's words had a double meaning, "Oh, right, this should be the first time you've met. Let me introduce you, this is my new friend Richard, a Knight of Light candidate with great potential. Last time in Garton City, if it wasn't for Richard, I would have been killed by that insidious assassin. Richard, this is Miranda, my senior. She's also a beautiful half-elf. "
Due to the need of the role, Chen Rui stared at Miranda's face intently, bowed, and stammered, "Miss Miranda! Your beauty is comparable to … the bright moon in the sky … "
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Miranda showed a disgusted expression and threw a sentence at Eliza. She ignored Chen Rui and turned to leave.
Looking at the tall figure going away, Chen Rui's heart was clear: Although the height and voice had changed, he was sure that Miranda was the female assassin who almost killed Eliza in Garton City last time! Right, the avatar also received some "special" interest from this half-elf lady …
The Saintess's faction killing each other? Is it for personal grudges? Or is it for a higher interest? The two parties involved in the assassination in Garton City should be aware of it, but they seemed to be indifferent.
"She's gone, why are you still staring at her?" Eliza pinched Chen Rui's arm and said unhappily.
Chen Rui smiled a few times, "This Miss Miranda … Uh, is she really a half-elf?"
"And a half-elf with the Body of Light Blessing." A murderous look mixed with jealousy in Eliza's eyes was fleeting, and she regained her smile, "It seems that you are a little interested in her?"
"I …" Chen Rui showed a bitter smile, "I don't know if it's the power of the Mind Word, but I have some intimate feelings for Miss Miranda. But I'm just a substitute Knight of Light, how dare I have any delusions."
Eliza smiled and said, "Identity is not a problem. Your talent is very special. I can introduce you to my teacher Her Holiness Udora alone. As for Miranda … As long as you have the guts, I can also help you. Consider it as me repaying you for saving my life. "
Chen Rui vaguely understood that Eliza must have some conspiracy to use him as a gun. His mind turned, and he showed a hopeful look, "Really?"
