After much effort, Han Jin and Majordomo Gail finally settled Jeddis down. After Jeddis gradually fell asleep, Han Jin and Majordomo Gail returned to the deck and exchanged bitter smiles with Guevara and the other two.
"How much did he drink?" Han Jin asked.
Guevara made a gesture of downing the glass in one gulp and then raised two fingers.
"Two glasses?" Han Jin stared at the wine glasses left behind by Jeddis and sweated. Most of the alcohol here didn't have high alcohol content, and those two glasses probably didn't even compare to half a bottle of beer. Yet, it was enough to make the Pope lose his composure in front of everyone. Han Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Not to mention the men on the God of War, even Yalina, Loraine, and Miriam could drink a few glasses.
"I didn't expect Jeddes to be so bad when drunk. He doesn't have any self-control at all." Majordomo Gail smiled bitterly and said, "We can't let him drink in the future!"
Han Jin and Guevara nodded repeatedly. It would be a lie to say that they weren't afraid. Facing an out-of-control Jeddes, they couldn't control him, nor could they hit him. It was too much of a headache.
"Uncle Gail, did Sir Jeddes lie just now?" A clear voice sounded.
"This …" Majordomo Gail was stunned and looked towards the direction of the voice. Loraine was staring at him with a pair of big bright eyes.
"Since he didn't lie, how can you criticize his character?" Loraine's clear voice sounded again. "You should apologize to him."
Majordomo Gail was dumbfounded. This is too absurd! Is she rebelling?! He and Spencer were old friends. It could be said that he watched Loraine grow up. How could she be so rude to an elder?!
"Loraine, what's wrong?!" Lesley was anxious and reached out to pull Loraine.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Loraine, including Han Jin and Guevara. Yalina also walked to Loraine and asked in surprise, "Loraine, you …"
Under the pressure of everyone's gazes, Loraine was slightly panicked and shy. She lowered her head and avoided Majordomo Gail's bright gaze.
"Loraine, are you drunk too?" Han Jin laughed dryly and said, "Lesley, you send Loraine downstairs. Remember to rest well …" He couldn't just watch everyone freeze here. Majordomo Gail was suddenly refuted. He couldn't vent his anger on Loraine, but he also couldn't really admit his mistake. He could only wait for others to give him a way out.
"Yes, yes." Lesley nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice. She then stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Uncle Gale, I'm sorry." After saying that, she forcefully pulled Loraine up and quickly walked down the stairs. At first, Loraine was a little resistant, but she also understood that she was too rash just now. Being dragged away by Lesley was the best way to resolve the awkwardness. She simply stopped resisting and let Lesley drag her down the stairs.
"Don't be angry." Han Jin smiled and said, "Let's go have a few drinks. Don't worry, I can hold my liquor much better than Jeddis. "
"Let's go, Uncle Gale!" Yalina greeted with a smile and affectionately held Majordomo Gale's arm.
Majordomo Gale let out a long sigh. In fact, he wouldn't lower himself to the level of a young person. As an elder, he still had this much tolerance. Even if he was really angry, he would rather find trouble with Spencer than with Loraine. However, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. What was going on? Because he had never been married, he treated his friends' children as his own. Not only were Jared, Edison, and Yalina taken care of by Majordomo Gale, but Lesley, Loraine, and the others were also taken care of by him. Why did they suddenly become estranged from him?
Han Jin, Majordomo Gale, Han Jin, Guevara, and Yalina were sitting at the same table. The young people tried their best not to attract attention and dispersed. Although Morrisons and the others dared to joke with Han Jin and even criticize him, they were always honest in front of Guevara and Majordomo Gale. At the moment, they all knew that Majordomo Gale was in a bad mood, so of course, they wouldn't go up and provoke him.
Yalina personally poured wine for the three of them. Majordomo Gale drank a few glasses, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Suddenly, his mind flashed and he realized something. He couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart. When he looked up, he saw that Han Jin and Guevara were constantly exchanging glances with each other.
"What are you doing?" Majordomo Gale frowned.
"Tell me, what do you think is Jeddes' greatest strength?" Han Jin laughed.
"He is righteous and straightforward. I can't compare to him. Raphael, you can't either." Guevara sighed. "And you, Lord Dark Left Hand, you can't compare to him either."
"Yes, he is an idealist. He firmly believes that darkness will be expelled. He believes that people will stop killing each other and usher in peace. His beliefs give him a kind of compassionate and gentle charm that can infect people unknowingly. Not to mention others, even I like him very much." Han Jin said, "And he is just over 30 years old. Although he is not very old, his experience is rich enough. Maturity, vicissitudes … This is a fatal temptation!"
"Raphael, what are you trying to say?" Majordomo Gale asked. The fear in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. He originally thought that it was just his own illusion, but after listening to Han Jin's words, the two of them seemed to have the same point of view.
"I see Sunier's shadow in her," Guevara said faintly. Guevara said lightly, "When I mocked you, Sunier's reaction was just as fierce."
"You … think so too?" Majordomo Gale was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up. "No! Absolutely not! "
"But …" Guevara murmured.
"Guevara, Jeddes is the Pope! Don't you know what that means?! "Majordomo Gale took a deep breath." I have to talk to Lorraine. "
"Lorraine … Jeddes?" Yalina finally understood and opened her mouth in surprise. "Oh my god! When did this happen? "
"It didn't happen at all." Han Jin shook his head. "Lorraine just has a good impression of Jeddes. When she stood up just now, she also regretted it. Didn't you see her expression?"
"Raphael has a point. We are just guessing. Gale, are you going to talk to Lorraine? Have you thought about what to say to her? "Guevara asked.
"Children at this age have a very strong rebellious mentality. If you don't say anything, maybe things will slowly fade away. If you say something … it might even add fuel to the fire," Han Jin continued.
"Child?" Yalina was angry and amused at the same time. She pouted and said, "How old do you think you are?"
At this moment, Schumann came over with a hesitant face and whispered, "Sir, I …" According to the plan, he was supposed to continue to criticize the atrocities of the priests, then Han Jin would be furious and everything would happen. But now that things had escalated to this point, was there any need for him to continue acting?
"Go back first. Send more people to keep an eye on them and keep an eye out for any movements over there," Han Jin said slowly.
"Understood, sir." Schumann bowed and walked toward the stairs with his tail between his legs. Jeddis had already exposed their plan, which was undoubtedly a slap to his face. He felt as if he had been stabbed in the back, and of course, he wouldn't feel good about it.
Schumann came over to interrupt their conversation. Majordomo Gale had a little buffer time and gradually calmed down. Han Jin and Guevara had a point. The truth was still uncertain. If he hurried to Lorraine and told her not to do anything, it would be somewhat funny and would not be a good influence on Lorraine. It was better to wait for a while. Plus, with him here, nothing would happen.
Han Jin also didn't mention how to suppress the believers. In this kind of internal conflict, he had to maintain a glorious image and let everyone believe that he was righteous. But after being disturbed by Jeddes, he really couldn't say anything. He should at least talk to Jeddes after he woke up and then make a decision.
After a while, the uneasy Majordomo Gale excused himself and left, leaving only the three of them at the table. Yalina suddenly whispered in Han Jin's ear, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Blanche left."
"Blanche left? Where did she go? "Han Jin was stunned.
"I don't know, I think … she went to find that Paladin Knight." Yalina was a little uncertain.
Han Jin pondered for a moment, "They haven't seen each other for a long time. Don't disturb them and give them more freedom."
Yalina couldn't help but glance at the Holy Crown City. The billowing smoke column was still very thick. Obviously, the fire had not been extinguished. She asked worriedly, "Will something happen? The city is so chaotic now … "
"No, as a Paladin Knight, he can't even protect his own wife?" Han Jin said.
"Oh …" Yalina rolled her eyes and whispered, "Where is Sister Sunier? Where did she go? She didn't come back for the whole night. You … didn't quarrel, did you? "
Guevara coughed, stood up and walked to the side of the ship. Yalina's face suddenly blushed. She knew that Guevara was forced to leave because she and Han Jin looked too intimate.
"No, do you think we are children who quarrel?" Han Jin smiled, "It must be Sassoux and Léger, those two big mouths, who told Sunier my plan."
"What plan?" Yalina asked in surprise.
"Those who attacked Qi Li are very bold. They won't give up easily." Han Jin said slowly, "When I left yesterday, I asked Chipango to spread the news that Qi Li was hiding in the barracks to recuperate. Sunier was worried about Qi Li's safety, so she stayed to take care of Qi Li." Speaking of this, Han Jin felt warm. Sunier was like this in the past. She would say what she did, or she wouldn't say what she did. If it wasn't for Sunier's help, he would never be where he was today.
"Then … can I go find Sister Sunier?" Yalina whispered, "I can help you too!"
"You think too highly of them," Han Jin laughed, "Let an elf with God's Mark and a magus help?"
"But I have nothing to do. I'm bored!"
"When I left this morning, you were already meditating in the magic lab. You're working so hard. Can you really be bored?" Han Jin laughed, "Okay, Yalina, I know you want to help me, but for this matter … Sunier alone is enough. Didn't you notice? Gao Bin has also disappeared. "
"Yeah." Yalina looked around. She hadn't seen Gao Bin for a day. If Gao Bin and Sunier were together, even if they were attacked unexpectedly, they should be able to hold on until Han Jin came to help.
At this time, Morrisons and the others came over. At first, they moved very slowly, but when they were almost there, Morrisons and Léger suddenly sped up and grabbed their own seats. Sassoux's movements were a beat slower. When he reacted, Morrisons and Léger were already sitting there.
"Your energy … is too exuberant." Han Jin shook his head. What's the point of fighting over two chairs? But on second thought, these three boys had almost nothing to do except for training. They could only play in boredom, so he couldn't blame them.
"Raphael, let me ask you something," Morrisons said with a smile.
"Go ahead."
"What Jeddes said … is it true?" At first, when they heard that the priests had besieged the Lord's Mansion, they were particularly angry. But in the blink of an eye, they were exposed by Jeddes. It turned out that everything was Han Jin's trap. The strong contrast made them feel disheartened, but they still believed in Han Jin in their hearts, so they wanted to get an explanation from Han Jin.
"You mean those priests?" Han Jin smiled.
"Yes."
Han Jin was silent for a moment, then said, "It's true."
Morrisons sighed and scratched his head, then said, "But … Raphael, if you want to teach them a lesson, just do it. Why bother?"
"It's too complicated. I can't explain it in a sentence or two." Han Jin paused, then said, "For example, if I want to hit you now, will you accept it?"
"Why do you want to hit me?" Morrisons stared. Although he didn't answer directly, the answer was already obvious.
"Then how about this." Han Jin grabbed Morrisons' hand and stretched it towards Léger.
Han Jin's original intention was to touch Léger, but after Morrisons understood Han Jin's intention, he secretly used some strength and poked Léger. Léger was caught off guard and almost fell out of his chair. He hurriedly reached out, grabbed the table, and said angrily, "Morrisons, what are you doing?!"
Morrisons smiled and pointed at Han Jin. It was obvious that Han Jin was the one who grabbed his hand and did it, so it had nothing to do with him.
Han Jin was speechless for a moment, then coughed and said, "Now, Léger is my friend, and you dare to hit him? So I want to hit you, will you accept it? "
"But I'm also your friend!" Morrisons shouted.
Yalina couldn't help but laugh, while Han Jin's expression was a bit stiff.
"Morrisons, are you really stupid or just pretending?" Sassoux said, "You don't even know this?"
"You're smart? Can you compare to Raphael? " Morrisons said with a smile, "If you ask me, we don't have to come over and ask Raphael, let him make up his mind. Raphael, don't blame me, it's the two of them who want to know the inside story! Um … yes, that's what they said just now, the inside story! "
Sassoux was about to retort, but Han Jin waved his hand and said, "I can see that you guys are bored, right? It's time to find something for you guys to do. "
"What do you want us to do?" Morrisons looked happy.
"You'll know when the time comes," Han Jin said, "Okay, go do what you need to do, don't get in my way."
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west. It was time for dinner, and it was also the most crowded and lively time on the ship. Suddenly, an invisible wave spread from the stairs and swept across the whole room in the blink of an eye. The reason was none other than Jeddes coming out.
Everyone was looking at Jeddes, and their expressions were more or less strange, but Jeddes' expression was very calm. He looked around and walked towards Han Jin's table. Yalina also wanted to sit next to Han Jin, but seeing that Jeddes was one step ahead, she turned to Lesley and Loraine's table halfway.
"What's going on?" Jeddes asked as he sat down, puzzled, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Guevara and Majordomo Gail didn't have time to answer, and hurriedly moved the wine jug, wine glasses, and other things away, but the table was only so big, and it didn't seem safe to put them anywhere, so they just threw everything in their hands on the floor.
"You don't remember?" Han Jin asked in astonishment.
"Remember what?" Jeddes asked in the same astonishment.
Han Jin, Guevara, and the others looked at each other. How could drinking make someone lose their memory?
"Do you still remember how you got on the God of War?"
"I remember."
"And then?"
"And then …" Jeddes frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I can't remember."
Guevara and Majordomo Gail almost fainted because Jedis never lied. If he said he couldn't remember, then he really couldn't remember. It was just that it was too funny. It turned out that it only took a few glasses of wine to defeat a strong man like Jedis.
At this moment, a shrill voice sounded, "My Lord, it's bad … it's bad …"
Anyone who saw Jeddes lose his composure was dumbfounded. That was Schumann's voice, why was it here again? Turning back time?!
Kane's position was the closest to the side of the ship. He immediately released a levitation spell, flew off the deck, and sank down. In just a few breaths, he brought Schumann back to the deck. Surprisingly, Schumann's robe was torn in many places, and there were many bloodstains. It was unknown whether it was his or someone else's. After seeing Han Jin, Schumann couldn't wait to shout, "Out of control … Sir! Those priests are completely out of control! "
"Out of control? What's going on? "Han Jin stood up.
Schumann took a deep breath, trying to calm his rapid breathing as much as possible, and then said in a sobbing voice, "Sir, quickly bring the soldiers into the city, or it will be too late!"
Han Jin paused, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. Schumann didn't say anything at all, and directly made a request. Obviously, the situation had reached a critical point. He couldn't help but look at Jeddes. Since he was going to bring the soldiers into the city, there would definitely be a conflict with the priests.
"I'm no longer the Pope," Jeddes said softly.
