Then there was a problem.
The victims in Rose Mansion were hurt because they were praying in the room at midnight … First of all, someone had to pray at this time, right?
Who would pray?
Nan Xiaonan didn't ask this question … Of course, it couldn't be the trio in her shop.
Not only was she a fake, even the destiny system was fake … As for Miss Maid, to be honest, if she was asked to pray to the boss, she would probably do it without thinking.
As for the boss … She was afraid that the Holy Light Kingdom couldn't bear the prayer of the [Indescribable Existence].
"Don't look at me." Mr. Assaches suddenly said, "I can't pray."
K er Lili also raised her hand nervously and whispered, "Me too …"
— You two stowaways!
Nan Xiaonan rolled her eyes … She had to stop the DV temporarily. She didn't expect that the shooting of Nan Xiaonan's Diary of Female Incident would be stopped just after it started.
"Why don't we stop praying and wait here for time to pass and see if anything unusual happens?" Mr. Arthashis suggested.
At this moment, Ding Dang — Ding Dang — Ding Dang —!
It wasn't the midnight bell. The bell had rung before.
It was the doorbell. The maid in the room, Ke Lili, was startled. The sudden ringing of the doorbell really scared … her.
"Is Mr. Assaches in? I'm …"
A man's voice came from outside in the quiet night … Mr. Assaches couldn't help but frown with a puzzled expression, "Castellan Durand? Why is he here at this time? "
Arthacis looked at the people in the house in confusion. He then walked to the window and looked down. He realized that not only was Durand's car outside, there was also ….
"Why is Ludic here?"
…
…
"Time limit order, Saint personally … Holy Light Purification?!"
"Oh? You want to investigate the root cause of the strange phenomenon in the mansion? You're just a pile of mud that doesn't know how to support a wall? "
In the lobby of [Rose Mansion], Assaches and Ludic were glaring at each other. The smell of gunpowder filled the air, giving people the feeling that they were about to strangle each other.
"These two … have a grudge against each other?" Nan Xiaonan couldn't help but quietly ask the maid, K forehead Lili.
K forehead Lili also whispered, "Boss and the school principal are actually considered distant relatives. I heard that when Boss was young, he was placed in the school principal's house for a period of time … A lot of things seemed to have happened during that time."
Nan Xiaonan suspiciously looked at the two people who were arguing in front of her … The heir of a desolate hotel and the young master of a wealthy family had a love-hate relationship when they were young?
Men on top of men?
Emmmmm … That's a little more interesting!
But the atmosphere suddenly became quiet … Mr. Assaches's face was frighteningly still, like ice, and his whole body emitted a gloomy and cold aura.
Nan Xiaonan glanced at him and then asked in a low voice, "What is Holy Light Purification?"
K forehead Lili looked at Nan Xiaonan in surprise, but she still explained the meaning of Holy Light Purification with a worried expression.
"Turn it into ashes and raze it to the ground? Isn't that a nuclear explosion?? "Nan Xiaonan was shocked.
If someone told her that her house could be razed to the ground at any time, her expression would be even worse than Assaches's … However, the future lady boss's expression seemed to be much colder at this moment?
Nan Xiaonan didn't know if it was an illusion, but she even saw a flash of murderous intent on Miss Maid's pretty face.
She couldn't help but shiver … Her soul was shivering.
…
"Mr. Arthashis, other than informing you of this matter, the main reason I'm here is to help you."
Mayor Durand had to speak up, "Although the Sage decided to carry out Holy Light Purification, the Sage took pity on you and gave you a week's time. It would be a pity if Rose Mansion was purified. So I'll give you the maximum amount of support this week … With everyone's strength, we'll definitely be able to overcome this difficulty! "
"Thank you very much." Arthashis nodded, and his expression became a little better.
Mayor Durand then looked at Boss Luo and the others, "By the way, are they … the people you invited to investigate the mansion, Mr. Assaches?"
Assaches said, "They are enthusiastic guests of the mansion. After knowing my difficulties, they took the initiative to help."
"I see." Mayor Durand nodded and didn't pay much attention to the three guests.
Rose Mansion had been open for so many years and had passed through so many generations. Assaches had also taken over it for quite some time, so it wasn't strange for a few close friends to lend a helping hand.
"Lord Castellan, do you really want to help?" Mr. Arthashis suddenly asked.
"What are you saying?" Mayor Durand was displeased, "If I didn't want to help, I wouldn't have come here so late at night. I could've sent out a document tomorrow morning and let the people from the Public Security Office pass it to you."
Assaches didn't waste any time and said, "Alright, then come and help! We're about to do an experiment and are lacking some people. You're just in time. "
"What do you mean by 'just in time'?" Principal Ludic frowned. He was too familiar with the behavior of this distant relative.
"We need some people to pray in the room where the incident happened so that we can observe." Assaches said, "But we need people with a high level of God's Favored, and you happen to have a high enough level … Sir Mayor, you don't have to say it, right? You're almost a [Holy Disciple]. As for Leval, he should've climbed one or two levels in the past few years, right? "
"You want me to... have me pray in those rooms?" Durand City's City Master frowned.
"It's just an observation experiment," Assaches said, "Aren't you the one who said you wanted to help? Besides, there were also petitioners from the Public Security Office praying here before, and nothing happened. Mayor, you're a full petitioner, so what's there to be afraid of? Even if you drop one or two levels, you're still young and can still rise in the future, right? Anyway, the number of [Holy Disciple] slots is limited. There are so many petitioners with the highest level who haven't had their turn yet. What's the rush? "
Principal Ludic held back his laughter.
Assaches looked at Ludic and said, "And you, after so many years, you're still only a fifth-level God's Favored. If you drop, so be it. Don't embarrass yourself!"
Ludic rolled his eyes.
Originally, he thought that Arthashis was deliberately making things difficult for him. Headmaster Ludick would slam the table and stand up, and the Durand City Lord would flick his sleeves and leave … Who would have thought that the Durand City Lord would actually grit his teeth and agree.
"Since we're relatives, how can I not help?" Principal Ludic said with a smile.
— Holy Lord, what are they up to?
Assaches could not help but feel puzzled. These two were not easy to talk to … He did not expect them to agree so easily. They were just using this as a reason to chase him away.
…
The candidates were decided just like that.
Principal Ludic, Leval, Mayor Durand, and his male assistant happened to be the four people who corresponded to the four rooms where the strange things happened in Rose Mansion.
"We'll also send four people to observe the whole process." Assaches said calmly, "Mayor Durand, you still have to think about it. With your status, it's easy for you to send a few high-level petitioners here."
Mayor Durand shook his head and said, "The Holy Lord gave me the power to govern the Holy City. He didn't give me the power to use as a shield when danger comes."
Mr. Assaches sighed and said, "You're not unworthy of being a [Holy Disciple] … Then let's do it. I'll personally observe Ludic. "
The candidates were quickly decided.
Mr. Assaches corresponded to Principal Ludic. K Er Lili went to the leftmost room with the mayor's assistant. Nan Xiaonan took the camcorder and went to another room with Leval.
"If you don't mind, let us observe you, Mr. Durand," Boss Luo said to Mayor Durand when he saw that only Miss Maid was left.
"Ok." Durand nodded. He didn't have the arrogance of a mayor. Instead, he was very gentle. "Then I'll have to trouble the two of you … Although I'm the mayor, I was also a believer before. Just like the two of you, there's no difference."
Boss Luo said, "Since Mr. Durand can become the mayor of Freedom City, the Holy Lord must have placed a lot of importance on you. It must be because you're very devout. No wonder Mr. Assaches said you're a [Holy Disciple]."
Mayor Durand didn't look very old … He was about the same age as Principal Assaches. He could be considered young and promising.
"I just have some experience in handling chores." Mayor Durand shook his head. "If I had enough talent and devout enough, I would've become an ascetic."
Miss Maid whispered to Boss Luo, "I'll go prepare some tea."
Boss Luo nodded. He looked at Mayor Durand and said, "Then, let's begin, Mr. Durand."
The City Lord of Durand City did not hesitate. He directly knelt on one knee in front of the window and lowered his head to pray … This was probably the architectural style of the Holy Light Kingdom. Almost all houses would be designed to make it convenient for people to pray.
Boss Luo sat down on the side.
It wasn't unreasonable for Mayor Durand to become a [Holy Disciple]. In just a few seconds, his entire spiritual world began to condense and his body emitted a dense brilliance.
It was the brilliance of Wish Power.
In Boss Luo's vision, Durand was like a lighthouse in the dark night … The light gradually became brighter and brighter.
"Faith can make people firm, it's true," Boss Luo chuckled casually and said in a low voice, "It's much purer than medicine."
In fact, in terms of soul quality, this Durand City Lord's soul quality was already extremely high … However, Boss Luo's vision was no longer the same as before.
It wasn't a matter of vision but whether he was interested or not.
"A high-quality assembly line production model, huh …"
…
…
Ludic took off his coat and casually threw it on the bed. Then, he took out two bottles of beer from the small fridge and a deck of cards from the drawer.
He raised the cards in his hand and looked at Assaches in front of the door. He smiled and said, "How many rounds?"
"You're not here to pray?" Assaches said expressionlessly.
"We can play cards and pray at the same time." Ludic smiled and said, "As long as we have faith in our hearts, we can pray to the God in our hearts no matter what we do."
Ever since he was young, Assaches knew that Ludic was someone who could multitask.
It wasn't that similar things didn't happen before … In fact, it had happened many times. Even Ludic had been praying in this way all along.
He could distract himself from praying when he was planting flowers, and he could also pray when he was eating.
What was even worse was that when he stayed at Ludic's house, this guy would often encourage him to climb the wall and go out to play. He could also complete his daily prayer homework while playing.
As for him, he was punished with no dinner because he didn't complete his homework while playing.
This was too much!
This guy was clearly a genius, but it was a pity that he was too casual … Assaches sometimes even thought that if Ludic could completely block out all distracting thoughts and not multitask but focus on praying, he would probably have become a Petitioner long ago.
"Right, it's not fun to play cards like this." Seeing that Assaches wasn't in the mood, Ludic rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we play God's Favor cards? How about a hundred thousand a round? "
Assaches sneered and said, "You think you can do whatever you want just because you have Will?"
Ludic didn't say anything. He only pulled out a stack of purple cards about half a palm thick from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
Assaches sat down without saying anything. "Shuffle the cards!"
After playing a few rounds, Mr. Assaches already owed four hundred thousand Will. He said that he only had his underwear to lose. If they wanted it, they could take it. Otherwise, they could continue playing. When he turned the tables, he would definitely win, and these Will cards would all be his.
This fellow looked like a gambler whose eyes had turned red from gambling.
Ludic didn't mind. He continued to shuffle the cards slowly and calmly dealt them out.
They seemed to have forgotten that they had come to this room to do proper business.
At this moment, Ludic suddenly asked, "Assaches, have you ever seen a Saint?"
Assaches looked at the rare good cards in his hand. He thought to himself, Flying Dragon Riding Face, how could he lose this time? He subconsciously replied, "In the Free Cities, who hasn't seen a Saint? What kind of idiotic question is this?"
"No, I'm talking about a real Saint," Ludic said faintly.
Assaches jerked his head up. He subconsciously played the cards in his hand that he hadn't gathered together … Oh no!
"Ludic, you scoundrel! You did this on purpose? "
"Aiya, what a good hand." Ludic sighed and shook his head regretfully. "How could you play such a good hand so badly? Assaches, isn't this like your life? You're obviously a descendant of a Saint family, but you ended up like this. "
Assaches coldly snorted and threw the cards in his hand on the table. Then, he leaned back, raised his legs on the table, and blew on his fists. "You want to fight? I've never lost to you … Not even once. "
At this moment, a faint grayish-white fog quietly appeared in the room.
"What's this?"
Assaches noticed the strange fog on the floor and frowned. At this moment, the fog rushed toward Ludic's body at lightning speed.
In just a breath, Ludic showed a pained expression and fell on the floor.
"Something's wrong — —!!!"
At the same time, a scream came from outside … It was K er Lili's voice.
She was observing the male assistant next to the City Lord of Durand City.
