"Hey, good evening~"
As soon as Mo Tan opened his eyes, he saw a burly and muscular man-made brother looking at him with a smile, holding an expensive-looking teacup in his hand, sitting at the round table in the main hall reading a book, if not The murderous Fang Tianhua behind him... ahem, three-pointed and two-edged... the punisher's staff, at first glance, it does have a bit of a scholarly feel.
This person is the representative of Tianzhu Mountain, firmly occupying the second place in the player comprehensive strength rankings, single for 22 years, 22 years old, and currently the seventh special team of the East Asia Division of FFF. Private, former captain of the Misha County Steel Rangers, and grandpa died again yesterday because of Being detained for selling banned publications, a good brother in the eyes of friends, a good son in the eyes of parents, the unlucky Cui in the eyes of Master Lu, the surname is Cui. Ahem, the surname is Cui and the last name is Xiaoyu. The effective measurement of the hidden attribute 'unluckiness' in this book Mr. Cordoba in Unit (unofficial), Innocence!
“I am not unlucky!!”
Cordoba roared to the sky, then froze for a moment, and smiled awkwardly at the stunned Mo Tanqian: “ Well, I always feel like someone is slandering me recently, don’t worry, um, good morning.”
Mo Tan, who was used to his friend's occasional outbursts, scratched his hair and slid out of the bed listlessly. While taking out his boots from his bag and putting them on, he curled his lips and said, "Let's say good night. After getting up from the bed, It feels so bad to be asked good morning by a man”
"Have you ever had the experience of being asked good morning by a man before?"
Cordoba rolled his eyes.
“No, there won’t be any in the future.”
After putting on his shoes, Mo Tan stood up and grabbed a cleanly starched priest’s robe from the cabinet. Put it on yourself and slowly walk out of the bedroom , picked up the teapot in Cordoba's hand and poured himself a cup of cold water: "You seem to be bored."
"It's okay, I got stuck on it, I just went for a walk in the city A circle, this place is really big.”
Cordoba laughed, then glanced sideways at Mo Tan, raised his eyebrows and said, "You seem to be in a bad mood."
It has been three days since he could play with the mobile Yuchen in the game. While chatting, Mo Tan, who had just been forced to explain the dialectical relationship between Ni Lin and Naked Man to Ji Xiaoge for the eleventh time, laughed twice, picked up the cup and took a sip of cool water: "Nothing."
Cordoba shrugged, then smiled mischievously: "Is it because Yu Chen hasn't interacted with you much recently?"
[This guy is a bit of a genius! 】
Mo Tan was shocked when his thoughts were touched, but on the surface he still maintained calm and calm: "You are thinking too much."
"In addition, because Xia Lian and the others have to study how to treat Yuchen, it will be difficult for you to see her in the past two days."
Cordoba continued to stare at Mo Tan with a burning gaze, speaking with incomparable He asked in a positive tone: "So you are even more unhappy, right?"
[You are so poisonous! 】
Mo Tan resisted his desire to lift the table, and hummed with empty eyes: "I'm kidding, why should I be upset?"
"Uh-huh, in fact, so many people Misunderstanding, you must have been secretly enjoying yourself when you were forced to act as a couple!”
Cordoba grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth that exuded light blue runic energy.
【There is no mind-reading skill in this game! No, no, no! It's such a waste if you don't read people's fortunes! 】
A little cold sweat broke out on Mo Tan's forehead. Without any words to reply, he could only put on a smiley expression. Trying to use Yan Yi to make the other party stop this round was not considered a crime. Public execution.
“Oh, young and beautiful love~”
Cordoba sniffed the glass of boiled water elegantly in his hand, and said lightly: “Don’t worry, when you successfully catch up When Yuchen was a classmate, as a friend, I would burn you with my own hands.”
[Don’t make such a bad joke in such a serious tone! This makes me unable to help but think about how many couples you have burned! By the way, the risk of being friends with you is a bit too high, Hundan! 】
Mo Tan grumbled in his heart for a while, then looked at Cordoba seriously, shrugged and said, "I didn't want to chase her."
There was a feeling in the dark. Cordoba, who didn't seem to be lying, was stunned and said in amazement: "What's the matter? Don't talk about yourself." I don’t like classmate Yuchen at all, but I’m pretty good at people.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Mo Tan shook his head, held his cheek and bowed his head: “ I didn’t say that I didn’t like Yuchen. I just didn’t intend to pursue her.”
"Huh?"
Cordoba was startled again, and subconsciously blurted out: "Do you want that little girl to take the initiative to chase you?"
"No."
"That means that your two families are feuding, but only you know it now, so you can't pursue her if you know the truth unilaterally?"
"Nowadays, Korean aunts don't dare to write stories like this. , man.”
"Ah! I remember that classmate Yuchen's mother was a doctor, an ace doctor who often performed seven or eight surgeries a day! Did she ever kill your family?"
"So you remember Yuchen's mother? You are a doctor, but you forgot that I was an orphan since I was a child, right?"
"Ah! I remember that classmate Yuchen was also adopted, so you two are actually They are long-lost siblings!”
“Hey, not to mention that this result is not valid at all from a genetic perspective. I am more than two months older than her, so why are we siblings! "
"Why is that so special! If you have any questions, tell me first. Why don't you tell me how I can help you?"
Cordoba's expression was very broken. It must be said that this guy is a particularly contradictory person. Although he kept saying that the couple should die together, he was still very enthusiastic about making suggestions for Mo Tan.
However, the latter did not appreciate it
"Haha, I appreciate it first, but the matter is my personal problem, and others can't help."
Mo Tan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Can we change the topic?" Cordoba whistled. , smiled teasingly: "Change the topic? Okay, I met Xia Lian in the archdiocese when I was out for a walk. She asked you to go to your Shuguang Chapel when you are free. She said it was for Yuchen. My classmates already have ideas for treatment methods.”
"Huh?"
Mo Tan stood up with a roar and looked at Cordoba intently: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The latter was leisurely. He leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his legs and said with a smile: "People say that he is 'free', and you didn't ask before."
"You're cruel."
Mo Tan immediately turned around and walked towards the door, and then paused slightly before leaving: "Well, what I just said."
"Heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know, okay?"
"Thank you~"
"You're welcome."
A few minutes later, Mo Tan Leaving St. Wright's Dawn Chapel, here is the Dawn Church A temporary residence assigned to several guests. In addition to him and Cordoba, General Paola from the Principality of Lanka also lived here. However, he was not as free as the two of them. He got up early in the morning and met with all the major officials. The person in the sect who could speak well went to say hello.
The Dawn Avenue where Mo Tan is located at this time is located in the North District of the City of Light. In addition to a variety of shops, restaurants and various functional facilities on both sides of the road, the most numerous are various churches and chapels. , most of them belong to the Dawn Sect, and every building looks particularly grand.
The City of Light is different from what Mo Tan and Cordoba imagined. This 'Holy Land', which is three times the size of the Violet Imperial City, is not so serious and old-fashioned. In fact, this place can be said to be quite down-to-earth. .
Thirty percent of the devout believers who come for pilgrimage, 50% of the core members of major churches and businessmen and people resident in the City of Light, and 20% of the floating population covering various people, totaling nearly 10 million people. This is the largest 'city' in the Northeastern continent. It is vibrant, not conservative, not exclusive, orderly and full of vitality. , although it has a history of tens of thousands of years, this place will not give people the slightest feeling of stale or old. On the contrary, people will see the most popular contemporary dining and entertainment here, and hear the most popular chants. You poetry, even those who have never stepped out of the sanctuary for many years can tell you about the popular colors of this season for twenty minutes.
You can easily find Wanderer Inn, Adventurer Guild, Mage Guild, Mercenary Guild, Knights Guild, Alchemist Guild and other facilities here. Even the Thieves Guild is owned underground in the City of Light. It’s such a big territory, except that those who are associated with the Holy Church are not allowed In addition to having devout believers (it doesn’t matter if they are light believers) of opposing gods (such as the Dark Goddess who is opposed to the Dawn Goddess) stationed in the city and not accepting illegal services, these people who wander between the two paths of black and white can also walk openly in the City of Light. , and will not be treated unfairly at all.
As a place with the highest concentration of religions in the world, the clergy here are not pedantic. Although there are some people who say 'my lord' when they open and close their mouths, most of the clergy are nothing like ordinary people. The same thing. I drank in a pub until I lost consciousness and was thrown out of the door by the boss. The priest, the paladin who whistled outside the nuns' dormitory, the bishop who quarreled with the vegetable seller over cutting a few copper coins, the high-ranking priest who led the believers to sing hymns in the morning and helped the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce distribute leaflets to make extra money in the afternoon. , all of which amazed Mo Tan, who had just arrived in the City of Light the night before.
It’s not that he hasn’t heard Yu Chen’s description, but only when he actually saw it all, the solemn, solemn, luxurious, stereotyped, pedophile, lifeless religious holy place in his mind Only then did it really disappear.
This is a city full of vigor and vitality.
“It’s just too big!”
Mo Tan, who was soon lost in an unknown street, panted and sat on a bench, and found out with great sadness and indignation. I'm lost again.
Of course, Mo Tan did not show any panic. On the one hand, he was very, very, very accustomed to this kind of thing, and on the other hand, because there were many pedestrians around, any of them Local people (in short, everyone) who have a better sense of direction than him can help him get out of trouble.
So Mo Tan, who was out of breath (he had been jogging before), made a quick decision, got up and walked directly to a petite girl not far away who seemed to be sunbathing, and asked politely: "That , I’m sorry, how to get to the Shuguang Chapel in the inner city?”
Let me briefly explain here that the City of Light, which covers a huge area, has three urban areas, namely the outer city area, the middle city area and Li Goudan’s joke, it is actually the inner city area. In short, except for the inner city area, it is divided into major sects. Apart from the slightly aloof place where the headquarters is located, there is not much difference between the other two districts. They are both quite prosperous anyway, and the place Xia Lian asked Mo Tan to go to was the Dawn Cathedral in the inner city, which is the Dawn Sect. ’s headquarters is located.
“Go straight along this road, turn west at the first intersection, cross two streets and go south along the 'Kage Flame Avenue' to enter the inner city. The Shuguang Chapel is here To the east of the inner city. "
The girl holding a big book in her arms did not raise her head, but answered Mo Tan's question with her ethereal and slightly ethereal voice.
"Uh, thank you very much, but me. Luna?!"
Mo Tan was first fascinated by the things in the other party's words, and it took him a while to react. He suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the girl in front of him with wide eyes and exclaimed: "Why are you here?!"
Yes, this girl whose appearance could not be seen clearly because she kept her head down was none other than Luna, the trainee alchemist who arrived at the City of Light with Mo Tan the night before!
"Huh? Hei Fan?"
Luna was stunned for a moment after Mo Tan called out her name, then she raised her little face sleepily and asked exceptionally calmly. : "Good morning, did you just get up too?"
The corner of Mo Tan's mouth twitched, and he nodded stiffly: "Well, you can put it this way, um, why are you here?"
“Because this is the Alchemist Association where Your Highness Xia Lian asked me to stay temporarily.”
Luna pointed at the large hexagonal building behind her and explained calmly: "The night before yesterday, you and Mr. Cordoba helped me move my luggage inside, and Paula invited us to lunch. The place is just across the road, you can see it when you turn around."
Mo Tan: "."
"Want to come in for a cup of tea?"
Luna pointed to the door of the association behind her, which was crowded with people, and invited: "The room has been tidied up. If you are willing, I can make some cocoa-flavored strong tea."
< br>Mo Tan shrugged, spread his hands and said: "I like the taste of cocoa, but Your Highness Xia Lian has something to ask me for, so...well, not now."
His refusal was not tactful, because if he said it too tactfully, Luna would most likely not understand.
"Okay, you wait here."
Luna nodded, turned around and walked into the association gate.
Mo Tan: "."
Five minutes later
"Here you go, cocoa tea."
Luna, who walked out of the Alchemist Association again, nodded to Mo Tan, handed him a slightly charred test tube, and then stuffed a smooth oval metal piece into it. into his hands: "The toy I made last year , after using it for a while, I found that I didn’t really need it, so I gave it to you.”
Mo Tan lowered his head and saw that the four sides of the metal piece had ‘East’, ‘South’, and ‘ The four small characters "西" and "北" are rotating slightly.
“Thank you, Luna.”
Mo Tan was almost moved to tears.
"Well, I'll go back first."
Luna yawned and walked into the association gate again lazily.
