Faced with Laeticia's stubbornness, Baiyi thought for a moment and said, "You must be tired, right? I think it's better for you to get some sleep first, and then we can talk. "
"Ugh …" Laeticia lowered her head. She was indeed tired, but her duty as the Vice President did not allow her to return to her room to sleep in the middle of the day.
"Let me help you," Baiyi said. Baiyi used magic to summon a hammock in the office and gestured for Laeticia to lie down on it. "I'm going to hypnotize you into a deep, high-quality sleep. You should be able to fall asleep in about two hours. That shouldn't affect anything."
"Is that so?" Laeticia looked at the magical hammock, and she seemed to be tempted by it. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded. She took off the forehead protector that she had been using as a hair accessory and removed her armor, revealing her plain white shirt and the curves of her body, which Baiyi had nurtured with great care and care. She did not intend to avoid suspicion at all.
Perhaps she saw Baiyi as a trustworthy elder? When she was only left with a white shirt, short hot pants, and a pair of black over-the-knee socks, she untied the braid on her head, letting her beautiful blonde hair fall behind her back, and laid down on the magic bed.
"Aren't you afraid of the cold?" From his storage pouch, Baiyi took out a blanket with a hammerhead shark pattern printed on it and covered her legs with it. Then, he covered them up like a silkworm cub. Baiyi was speechless.
"The Saintess is not afraid of the cold." Laeticia narrowed her eyes and whispered, bringing up another unrelated topic. "So Mr. Hope really has these things with him all the time, huh? But this is the first time you've covered me with a blanket … "
"Because you've always taken good care of yourself. You're a good girl," Baiyi said casually. Baiyi said casually, and at the same time, his consciousness in the Void violently kicked the wailing Cleric Walker out of the way.
When the Cleric Walker saw Laeticia taking off her armor, he lunged at Baiyi's consciousness as if he was trying to stop him. He roared, "You piece of sh * t! I'm going to kill you! "
The Cleric Walker thought that Baiyi was going to hurt Laeticia. After being kicked away, he changed to a pleading tone, "She's my only student! He was still a child! Please let her go … "
Did this guy get the wrong idea? But then again, he was obviously very gentlemanly to other girls, but in front of the obedient Laeticia, he was uncharacteristically upright? At most, he would secretly admire Laeticia's beauty, but he did not dare to act more gentlemanly … This guy probably really loves Laeticia, doesn't he?
Of course, he had no intention of attacking Laeticia. After all, he was not a perverted gentleman.
"Are you ready? I'm going to start casting now. " Baiyi said as he poked the Incubus Walker in the Void, signaling it to help weave a beautiful dream for Laeticia.
"Understood! Don't worry, leave it to me! My professionalism has been honed over the past ten years. It's beyond your imagination! "King of Nightmares said confidently.
"The more you say it like that, the more worried I am. Why don't you tell me what kind of dream it is?" Baiyi asked.
"Well … Well, go to Romania and participate in a magnificent war. Then, meet a 100% trash and form a deep relationship with him. What do you think? Then, start a romantic competition with another beautiful man? Eh? What are you doing? Don't banish my consciousness! I'll die! Help me … "King of Nightmares wailed.
Is this guy retarded? Baiyi was speechless. In the end, he still spared the King of Nightmares' life. That guy was too weak. If he really threw him into the real Void, he would be dead in just two hits.
It's better not to leave this matter to the King of Nightmares. It's better to just let Laeticia enter a pure dream. With that in mind, Baiyi began to chant the Hypnosis Incantation. Laeticia cooperated and closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes drooped down like a brush, waiting for the comfortable sleep that she had been longing for.
After a while, Baiyi finished chanting. Looking down at Laeticia's peaceful sleeping face, he could not help but sigh, "You're pretty cute even when you're asleep, huh?" Then, he poked her cheek with the tip of his finger.
Suddenly, Laeticia opened her eyes. Looking at Baiyi with her blue eyes, she asked, "Don't tell me that you think I'm not cute enough normally, Mr. Hope?"
Baiyi almost jumped out of his skin. "You're not asleep?"
Laeticia shook her head helplessly.
Did I chant the incantation wrong? Or did I mix the Mana wrong? That's impossible … Baiyi was puzzled. With his level, how could he make a mistake in such a simple Hypnosis Incantation?
Unwilling to give up, he tried again. Laeticia's eyes were still wide open, blinking at him.
"Uh … Your magic resistance seems to be higher than I expected," Baiyi said awkwardly.
"Devout believers are loved by God. Blessed by God, they are able to fight against evil, disease, and calamity …" This was the record of devout believers in the Church's Canon. It was a rare truth, right? In reality, devout believers could receive all kinds of inexplicable buffs. This was proof of the existence of a True God.
Saint Joel, for example, was able to run amok in the Endless Abyss. Naturally, he was blessed by the True God. Hantae, the Holy Paladin, also had extraordinary strength and stamina. These were all proof of God's blessings.
Logically speaking, the more devout a person was, the more powerful God's blessings they would receive. Perhaps ordinary believers just did not like to fall sick, but Clerics could use high-level theurgy or even develop unique theurgy.
Therefore, as a saintess, it was logical that Laeticia would receive God's blessings. Baiyi did not think so. After all, her teacher was the Cleric Walker, whose faith had completely collapsed. He did not know what the Cleric Walker taught her, but he was certain that it was not the same as the Church's teachings. Her faith was no longer pious, or else she would not have been so distressed by the Church's opposition. Her hesitation and struggle were the evidence of her faith's wavering.
Then, how could she still receive God's blessings? Not to mention the fact that she had such powerful magic resistance. Judging by the fact that she dared to wear so little in such a cold day, she must have more than one God's Blessings. She must have some sort of resistance to the cold as well.
That was unbelievable. Logically speaking, a saintess who followed a Fallen Saint and worked with the Voidwalkers should be the Evil Fallen Saintess, right? How could she receive the True God's blessings? Was the True God blind or stupid?
From another perspective, perhaps this was the reason why Laeticia was so conflicted. She knew that her faith was no longer devout, but the True God was not stingy with his blessings. That was why she was in such a dilemma. Otherwise, with her personality, she would not have left Baiyi, the Cleric, and the others even after knowing who they were. She would not have been so hesitant after ten years of being together.
In a way, this God's Blessings were the real reason why she was in so much pain. Was this God's blessing or punishment? This True God's methods were like a kind girl's malice. It was too despicable!
While Baiyi was making all sorts of malicious speculations, Laeticia noticed that he was deep in thought. She wiggled her silkworm-like body and turned to face Baiyi. In a low voice, she said, "Mr. Hope?"
"That's why you're hesitating, isn't it?" Baiyi asked.
Laeticia nodded.
"It really is difficult …" Baiyi sighed inwardly. He reached out and caressed her forehead, feeling very conflicted.
If Laeticia placed the Voidwalkers and the Church on the scale in her heart, she should be able to make a decision easily. However, if the True God, whom she had always believed in, was also on the scale, Baiyi would have a hard time choosing.
How should he comfort this poor girl? How should he guide her to a decision that was beneficial to him? Baiyi was in a dilemma again. Should he tell her that this was the True God's malice? To drive a wedge between you, the second Chosen, and him? That's too low of a level, right? She might not buy it either. Play the emotional card? Emphasize the friendship between them over the years? That sounds hollow, doesn't it? He might not be able to convince her, would he? She was still wearing the Church's Scripture Necklace.
Perhaps it was because of the Church and the Clerics, or perhaps it was because she was tall, mature, and did not act cute, but Baiyi was not as close to Laeticia as he was to the first Chosen, Little Mia. Over the past ten years, Baiyi had even distanced himself from Laeticia due to work.
As Baiyi pondered, his hand gently caressed Laeticia's head, just like how he usually did with Little Mia and Attie. Suddenly, he heard a soft snore. He looked down and saw that Laeticia had fallen asleep. Her sleeping face was very serene, as if she was sound asleep.
'Ugh … Patting her head is more effective than chanting a spell?' Baiyi looked at his gauntlet and thought to himself in amusement, 'This kind of thing can't be explained with academic theories.'
After Laeticia fell asleep, Baiyi did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed by her side, his mind turning over and over in his mind, thinking about questions related to faith.
However, he did not know whether it was intentional or not, or whether it was due to his habitual thinking, but he had subconsciously neglected a seemingly insignificant but actually crucial detail. When did Laeticia receive God's blessing?
