Chapter 46
Lucia sneaked to the Moon Maiden Temple.
There were only two or three young women scattered in the temple during the day. They looked tired and pale, sitting in the chapel and praying silently.
Lucia pricked her ears and listened to a few words, and found that they were praying that they could be more beautiful and earn more money.
Lucia had to recite these words seven or eight times a day, and there was absolutely no value in listening carefully. She continued to walk backwards and walked to the residence of Priest Fast.
I followed Athos here several times at night, and Lucia had already discovered that this was the residence of Priest Fast.
His various notes are taken from here.
Quietly walked to the window of Priest Fast's room, Lucia was held by Mistry and peeked through the window, and found that there was no one inside.
Mistry quickly pried open the door of the room and walked in with Lucia.
Priest Fast's room looked very clean and poor. Apart from a bed, there was only a desk and a large bookshelf full of books.
"This bookshelf is the only place where evidence can be placed." Lucia was eager to start looking.
"Come on, Miss Lucia." Mistry cheered Lucia on the side, "You can definitely do it!"
"..." Lucia turned back and looked at Mistry in shock, "Aren't you coming to help me?"
"Miss Lucia, you are already an independent big child, you must learn to solve problems by yourself." Mistry showed a false smile of business, "You can't always rely on me."
Lucia narrowed her big eyes, stared at Mistry for a few seconds, and attacked with a headbutt!
"Oh, you are really reckless." Mistry caught Lucia's head with his hand, raised a small cannonball, and nodded his face, "That's it, kiss me and I'll help you see half of it. ."
Lucia kissed it without hesitation, and did not forget to use her big eyes to emit light waves of anticipation: "Then kiss again, can you see all of them?"
Mistry put down Lucia with a smile, and touched Lucia's head: "My dear, let's look for clues."
Lucia puffed up and started to read the books on the bottom layer of the bookshelf.
The bottom layer was full of notebooks, and Lucia took out one and opened it, and found that it was Priest Fast's diary when he was in school.
He is also a student of the seminary, and seems to be a student of the ordinary Stellaris class.
Lucia didn't plan to read other people's diaries from the beginning. After all, she was only suspicious of Priest Fast, and wanted to come here to find other clues.
But just a glance, Lucia saw a very familiar word.
[On the first day, who wrote the stage play dedicated to the Lord. γ
This sentence was written in a notebook on the cabinet at the back of the classroom when Lucia went to the classroom for the first time.
In addition to this sentence, the notebook is all reading notes.
But Lucia was also very impressed by the friendship she established with Flora from reading this notebook.
Lucia couldn't help but carefully read the diary on this page.
[Today, I saw the chief of the Rizhi Building, Rajel, at the party again, he is really kind! Treating everyone the same, taught us a lot of learning skills.
I found that Rajel was still carrying the black book, and I couldn't help asking Rajel what it was.
He told me that this is an ancient book from a previous generation, and it tells the story of the past. I was very curious about what was in it, and Rajel told me that he was also struggling to translate, so far only a few sentences have been identified.
He told me that the first sentence of this ancient book was 'On the first day, who wrote the stage play dedicated to the Lord. β]
Books from the last era?
Lucia couldn't help turning the diary to the next page, wanting to continue reading the story about this book.
At this moment, Mistry suddenly lifted Lucia, quickly returned the book to its original position, and the two stood together in the corner.
"Is Priest Fast back?" Lucia was hugged by Mistry like a rag doll, looking up at him.
"Yes."
As soon as Mistry finished answering, the two heard the sound of the door opening, and Priest Fast walked in.
He first looked at the room very cautiously, and after finding that there was no one, he picked up his hair from the ground, stood outside the door frowning, clenched the rune-engraved ornament in his hand and began to sing a spell.
The meager white light condensed in the hands of Priest Fast, forming a dagger-like light blade, and he walked into the room holding the light blade.
Lucia looked at his set of operations, and in a second concluded that there was something wrong with this person.
"Wow, this person is too careful, he put his hair on the door!" Lucia exclaimed, "Who would do such a thing to a normal person!"
"Yeah!" Mistry didn't expect this at all. "Is it possible to put my hair on the door lock and judge if anyone came in?"
"The main thing is that I have to put my hair on every day, and most people can't remember it at all!" Lucia watched Priest Fast carefully check the place where people could hide in the house, "This person lives so cautiously, there must be something wrong. "
"Too cautious." Mistry shook his head, "This is the survival wisdom of human beings."
Priest Fast walked past the two of them to check the bottom of his bed.
Lucia and Mistry shut up for a few seconds when Priest Fast passed by, and when he walked past, Lucia began to nag again: "What kind of survival wisdom is this, normal people don't have such wisdom All right!"
Mistry made fun of Lucia: "We Miss Lucia are different, sometimes you even forget your homework."
Lucia angrily wanted to climb up and beat the Mistry dog's head, but Priest Fast frowned and passed by the two of them.
The two of them installed statues quietly.
Priest Fast walked to the bookshelf.
"He passed and passed! Sure enough, the focus is on the bookshelf!" Lucia became excited. "Let's see which books he is staring at now, can't we know which books have secrets?"
"You are such a clever little devil, Miss Lucia." Mistry praised.
"Of course, this is my experience for many years!" Lucia stared intently at Priest Fast and his every move.
Priest Fast quickly took out a few books from the bookshelf, opened them carefully, and was relieved to find that there was no major problem.
Among them was the diary that Lucia had read.
"That's it!" Lucia was overjoyed.
The next second, Priest Fast walked out of the house with the books in his arms.
Lucia stared at the back of Priest Fast, almost jumping: "He, he took things away!"
"This is really bad, so what should I do?" Mistry asked seriously, holding back a smile.
Looking at the figure of Priest Fast leaving, Lucia thought deeply for a moment and said, "Follow up, let's see if we have a chance to see the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Mistry went to the window, Lucia stretched her neck to look at the door outside, and found that Priest Fast was pulling out her hair seriously and putting her hair on the door lock.
The first time he was not satisfied, he had to open the door and play it again like obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Hurry up, isn't this man a man? It's so slow." Lucia was so anxious that she wanted to help Priest Fast with her hair.
After a minute of living like a year, Priest Fast finally set his hair and left in a hurry with a book.
"Come after me!" Lucia urged Mistry.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Mistry responded, opened the door and led Lucia forward.
Priest Fast did not go to the gate of the temple, but went further back. Before Lucia and Mistry caught up with him, he had turned into a white light and disappeared from their field of vision. inside.
"I lost it!" Lucia forgot that there was such a rude technique in this world, "Is the Moon Maiden's magic so powerful!"
"It seems so?" Mistry said uncertainly.
Lucia sighed in disappointment, but quickly cheered up: "But it doesn't matter, I have found the clue."
"Huh?" Mistry was very surprised. "What clue?"
"I saw the name Rajel in his diary just now." Lucia remembered it clearly, "Isn't Rajel the bishop of Kurata Temple."
Mistry asked enthusiastically, "So what exactly was written in the diary?"
"It is said that Rajel has an ancient book about the previous generation, and there is a sentence in it." Lucia reminded, "Do you remember, the day I first went to school, didn't we see a sentence in the box at the back of the classroom? ."
"Of course I do." Mistry replied, and he said slowly in a slow tone, "So this sentence is from an ancient book?"
"Well, do you know this book?" Lucia asked Mistry.
"I don't know." Mistry folded his hands and made an apologetic expression, "I won't always look at humans, after all, I'm a god, and I pay attention to every race equally..."
Lucia stared suspiciously at Mistry.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Mistry looked back innocently.
"Didn't you say that your gods like beautiful humans?"
"I'm not the same as those superficial gods who only look at appearances." Mistry replied sternly, "A god with inner meaning like me, of course, likes Miss Lucia, who is beautiful and smart, and A gentle, considerate and loving human being."
"Well, what you said makes sense." Lucia snorted, broke off Mistry's hand, and jumped out of his arms, "Let's go."
"Yes, it's time for you to go back to school." Mistry urged, "The exam is coming soon, Miss Lucia, please do your homework."
Lucia covered her ears and shook her head vigorously, her ponytail almost flying away: "If you don't listen, you'll skip class today!"
Mistry was shocked: "Miss Lucia, you are a decent gifted and beautiful girl, how could you do such a thing as skipping class? This is something only a problem student would do!"
Lucia covered her ears and ran forward.
Mistry kept reciting behind Lucia, and the two ran after each other until they reached the shopping street in the distance.
Compared with the shopping street near the seminary, the shops here are simple and small. Lucia stopped and looked eagerly at the cake shop next to her.
"Want to eat?" Mistry followed Lucia's gaze.
"Yeah." Lucia thought about it for a while, and cautiously took out eight silver coins from her pocket.
This is the pocket money Lucia saved.
Although she rejected pocket money from her family many times, whether it was Anaram or Athos, they seemed to be worried that they had no money, so they gave her a silver coin every two days.
Of course, Lucia couldn't spend a single copper coin. Except for the ten silver coins on her body for emergency, she put all the other money under her bed.
Now taking out a huge sum of eight silver coins, Lucia feels that her heart is bleeding!
She didn't want to take another look at the eight silver coins in her hand, so she handed the silver coins to Mistry: "Go buy a honey cake."
"Okay." Mistry agreed to Lucia's request, canceled the stealth effect of the thief suit in the alley, and walked out.
When walking in the sun, the thief suit on him had turned into a simple shirt, and he walked into the cake shop with a peaked cap on his head.
Soon, Mistry came back with the cake.
Lucia held Mistry's hand, and the two walked around and ran to a nearby park.
During the daytime on weekdays, there were not many people in the park, and the two quickly found an unoccupied corner to sit on the ground.
Lucia quickly grabbed the box from Mistry's hand and opened it expectantly.
Inside the box is a small square golden cake, delicately falling in the middle of the carton, exuding a sweet aroma.
Lucia couldn't help but licked her lips, carefully broke off a piece with her hand, and stretched out her hand to feed Mistry: "Mistry, try it."
Seeing how cherished Lucia was, Mistry laughed at her attitude. He reached out and touched Lucia's head gently: "It's okay, you can eat it."
Lucia reluctantly replied: "We can eat separately."
"That's right." Mistry pondered, deliberately teasing Lucia, "But this piece is too small, can you give me all of it to eat?"
Lucia almost jumped up angrily: "Why are you so shameless!"
"Sorry sorry." Mistry raised his hand in surrender, "Then I'll eat it?"
"Yeah!" Lucia watched Mistry eat the cake without blinking, "Is it delicious?"
"This is the first time I have eaten human food, how can I describe it?" Mistry pondered, looking at Lucia's longing eyes, he smiled and said, "So this is sweetness?"
"I like sweets!" Lucia carefully took off a piece of cake and ate it herself, and told Mistry generously, "You can eat it too."
"Thank you for the generous Miss Lucia." Mistry pinched Lucia's face with a smile, "I'll eat when you're full."
"It's impossible to be full when you're full. How can you be full of sweets." Lucia broke off another piece and gave it to Mistry. "You can only eat it separately to give you a little bit of leftovers."
The two of them shared a small cake bit by bit. After half of the cake was eaten, Lucia was in a good mood and was about to explode. She fell on Mistry's arm with her head down, hugging his arm and acting like a spoiled child. .
βThe cake was delicious!β
"Uh-huh."
"I will eat cake every day from now on!"
"Then you need to work harder."
"Build a house out of cake and eat it directly when you wake up!"
"That's a good idea."
"But in this case, the house will deteriorate in a day."
"Then you need to study hard and master the magic skill to build a cake house that won't spoil."
Lucia covered her ears when she heard the study.
"Okay, it's time to go back to the seminary after eating." Mistry picked up the little salted fish Lucia, who was still pretending to be dead on the ground, and walked slowly towards the seminary.
"I don't want to go to school, I don't want to go to school, I don't want to go to school..." Lucia muttered.
"That won't work." Mistry replied slowly, "You are a student now, and the most important thing is to go to school. It is wrong to skip class."
"I, we have to scout Bishop Rajel!" Lucia struggled to death.
"Okay." Mistry asked in a good voice, "Assuming that Bishop Rajel does have a problem, what are you going to do?"
Lucia was taken aback.
She found that she really had nothing to do.
Tell Athos? But a small temple of the moon can put pressure on the police station, and even Robin knows about it.
And what about the temple of Kurata that dominates the city?
Wanting to convict the bishop of Kurata Temple is already beyond the scope of Athos. Even if the evidence is conclusive, there is a risk of hitting the stone with an egg.
Thinking of this, Lucia buried her head in Mistry's clothes in frustration.
Although it is possible to tell Robin or Flora, even for them, it is not a simple matter to openly confront the temple, and it may lead to serious consequences...
Lucia really can't do things like cheating friends.
The most important thing is that Lucia only intuition that there is a problem with Rajel, but there is no evidence.
It is very likely that the family is just an ordinary ancient book lover...
Lucia tried her best to recall the original novels she had read, and was frustrated to find that with the passage of time, the contents of the novels that were still a little impressive are now forgotten more.
She really can't wait to pick up the novel "The Difficulties of Women" and recite it from beginning to end!
