Pastor Mana was still skeptical at first, but when he took over a space bracelet containing three scorpion eggs, his expression suddenly became quite exciting, and after confirming and confirming again, the original arrogance and sternness immediately disappeared, replaced by A most cordial appearance.
"Lucio. Biss, I'm very pleased. I can see in you the hardworking and promising shadow of your father." The fat pastor nodded encouragingly to Lucio, his face full of approval, and when his eyes fell on Chen Rui , appearing more amiable.
"Your Excellency Richard, I am very glad to meet you. It is Lucio's greatest luck to have a friend like you. If there is anything that needs my help, I will definitely not refuse."
Of course Mana is happy. Originally enduring heartache, he spent 300 black crystal coins in the trade union to offer a reward for a lion and scorpion egg. Now not only the three hundred black crystal coins are saved, but he also unexpectedly got three lion and scorpion eggs plus one value Inexpensive space bracelet.
The fat priest is a man who is good at observing words and deeds. Judging from the handwriting of the other party's space bracelet, he is by no means a simple character, and Lucio also wears a space bracelet on his wrist—this old friend's nephew is actually his own. Knowing a little bit, after losing all his family wealth, he is a poor ghost, and it is impossible to own such high-level props as the space ring.
Obviously, he fell in love with someone important, such as... that ordinary-looking young man.
Therefore, the fat man let go of his usual self-proclaimed noble attitude, and his attitude appeared to be quite friendly.
"The pastor is really as approachable as Lucio said," Chen Rui smiled slightly, "Then I'll just say it, my family is famous in a certain kingdom. Unfortunately, I'm just one of the many heirs , in order to make myself more competitive, I left the warm garden and went outside to accept the baptism of wind and rain. Before I was sure, I didn't want to use the original noble surname, so I accepted Lucio's help and became A mercenary."
Mana showed an expression of "as expected", but he was secretly estimating in his heart that if the other party can get the lion and scorpion eggs, the strength of himself or behind him must not be simple, and he will be generous. Even if he can't believe it, there should be quite a truth sex.
"The Church of Light is the guide of the human world. It is admired by all human beings and possesses the power of omnipotence. I have felt this more deeply than before on the way to experience outside. I hope to use the power of the Church to give myself Add the most important bargaining chip to the balance of competition." Chen Rui bowed again, "So, I came here to pay a special visit to the pastor, and I want to ask him to point out a way."
"What needs to be corrected is that it is not the church that possesses supreme power, but the God of Light." The fat pastor's triangular eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his head regretfully: "And, Your Excellency Richard, I think you have found the wrong person , I’m just a priest in a small town, how can I give advice to you?”
Chen Rui still kept smiling: "For a wise man like my lord, it's just a matter of little effort to point out the way for a lost person like me. I came here in a hurry before, and only brought the newly obtained lion and scorpion eggs. Please forgive me for being impolite. As long as Sir can give me a suitable and feasible suggestion, I will be grateful. If I can succeed, then there will be rewards that will satisfy Sir afterwards."
Fatty's eyes lit up from the "reward" in the other party's mouth, and he thought for a moment: "Your Excellency Richard, if what you said is true... Please forgive me for being rude, my suggestion is directly related to this..."
Seeing Chen Rui nodding, the fat priest went on to say: "The power of the God of Light is endless. As long as you have sincerity and faith, it is not impossible to get the favor of the Light... In your situation, you should become an alternate Knight of Light." This is the best way. This way you can obtain the power of light while taking care of the family's problems. The only flaw is that in the future, when you have the opportunity to take over the family, you will not be able to become a priest who will serve the light for life. The alternate light knight is you The upper limit of the priesthood that can be achieved."
From time to time, these words revealed the tone of a magic stick, but Chen Rui understood the point, the candidate for the Bright Knight.
"How can I become an alternate Bright Knight?"
"According to the level of the Yangshao Kingdom, the candidate for the Light Knight needs to be nominated by the head of the church at the city level or the bishop of the king's capital. I don't have the qualifications yet."
"During the time I came out to practice, I learned one of the most important things, and that is to focus on the future. Sometimes, the determinant of potential is far more important than the appearance in front of me." Chen Rui shook his head slightly, showing a deep meaning Smile: "Your Excellency is just a pastor right now, but it doesn't mean it will be in the future. Believe... I will soon call you 'Master Bishop', and maybe in the near future, this title will go further."
Mana frowned, and was about to speak, when he saw a small bag out of thin air in Chen Rui's hand: "Master Pastor, I was negligent, and you have shown me a clear way. According to the promise, this piece of red The magic gem is my little thought, please accept it."
When Mana saw the small bag, his eyes were a little displeased. When he heard the words "Red Devil Gem", he was slightly shocked. He didn't shy away from Chen Rui and Lucio. He opened the bag and saw that there was an egg inside. Large and small fiery red gemstones, faintly revealing the breath of fire elements and dark elements, without any impurities in them. Mana is a man of knowledge, the value of this gemstone is at least three thousand black crystal coins!
This is "a little care"? Mana looked at Chen Rui with eager eyes, but he didn't know that this kind of gemstone is actually not too expensive in the dark element-rich demon world, besides, Boss Chen has too many collections, so just take one out of a certain treasure They are much more valuable than this, you know, the original owner of these treasures is the Dragon Clan.
"Your Excellency Richard, I agree with your point of view just now. Potential is a very important quality." Mana put the gemstone into the space bracelet, "As the saying goes, everything depends on human effort. No matter how difficult the road is, it is also made by people. Your Excellency is really sincere and interested in the alternate Bright Knight, and there are some ways you can try. But there is one thing I want to remind you first, even if you are nominated as an alternate Bright Knight through certain channels, it will be difficult to succeed if you do not have the corresponding strength. "
"Well..." Chen Rui pondered, "To be honest, my lord, I do have some power behind me, but this time I completed the task of lion and scorpion eggs by myself. On this point, Lucio, who is leading the way, can Testify. It’s just that I didn’t confront the lion and scorpion head-on, but used a special power related to talent, which can barely be regarded as a passable strength.”
"Oh?" Mana was surprised when he heard that it was done by Chen Rui himself.
"Master Richard uses the beast control technique, and it's unimaginably powerful." Lucio said, "The two lions and scorpions didn't attack at all, and just let Mr. Richard take the eggs. I saw this scene at the time. At that moment, I almost thought I was dreaming! To tell you the truth, my lord pastor, I bit myself shamelessly before I realized that this was the truth."
"Beast control skills that can drive lions and scorpions!" Mana's eyes showed a strong splendor, and he carefully sized Chen Rui for a while, "Your Excellency Richard, is this true? This is related to whether your dream can really come true The key question, please answer me truthfully!"
"Yes." Chen Rui nodded affirmatively, "The three eggs in the master's hand are the best proof, and the two lions and scorpions were also driven by me to leave the Blue Field Forest. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate explore."
The so-called animal control technique is a foreshadowing deliberately planted by Chen Rui. Judging from the information provided by Lucio and the fact that Mana offered a bounty for scorpion eggs, it is likely that the scorpion eggs are related to a certain high-ranking figure. If you can hit it right, Mana's line will be considered as a real success.
Sure enough, the fat priest's reaction was very strong. He rolled his triangular eyes, suppressed the heat in his heart, and asked, "Your Excellency Richard, this matter is very important. Before we cooperate further, can I see it with my own eyes?" How about your powerful beast control technique?"
"sure."
"A few years ago, someone gave me a wind leopard. Although this wind leopard is far inferior to the level of a lion and scorpion, it has a violent temperament. Even I, a contractor, can hardly tame it. I don't know if you can..."
Chen Rui replied without hesitation: "No problem."
"Then, please follow me." The fat pastor walked out with the two of them.
Through several corridors, we came to a hall. This is the main hall where believers usually pray and worship. Today is the day of prayer, and believers will pray at home, so there are no outsiders.
The fat man ordered all the monks to leave the hall, leaving only Chen Rui and the other two: "You two, wait here a moment, I will bring Fengbao over now."
As soon as the fat man left, Lucio immediately said in a low voice: "Master, I know that the wind leopard is of mutant blood, and its combat power has reached the peak of the soldier level, which is only one line away from the division level. Of course, with the strength of an adult, it must be killed. It's certainly a no-brainer, it's just…”
"Don't worry." Chen Rui shook his head indifferently, and began to look at this prayer hall. The area of this hall is very spacious. When you open the door, you can see rows of seats like a church. Right in front of you is a statue of the God of Light. The statue is exquisite and detailed, but the appearance is treated in a vague way, which is even more mysterious.
Chen Rui stared at the statue of the God of Light with a strange look in his eyes. As the supreme controller of the Tower of Faith in the super system, he could clearly feel the special aura contained in this statue that was not noticed by ordinary people.
The breath of faith!
A light flashed in Chen Rui's mind, as if he had thought of something important, but before he had time to think about it, a roar interrupted his train of thought.
I saw Pastor Mana walking over with a black monster, which was exactly the wind leopard.
Feng Leopard's temper was indeed as violent as Mana said. When he saw Lucio, he let out a low growl full of hostility and was about to pounce. The spearmen were startled and almost took out their weapons. .
"Your Excellency Li Cha..." Mana was about to speak when he saw Feng Bao froze suddenly. He turned his head and glanced at Chen Rui who was walking slowly, with fearful eyes flashing across his pupils, but he didn't dare to move.
Chen Rui was silent for a moment, and beckoned, the wind leopard came over cautiously, lay down in front of him, purring like a cat, as if it was not a fierce monster, but a docile kitten.
This scene not only stunned Mana, but even Lucio was dumbfounded—this kind of animal control that can make a vicious wind leopard surrender as soon as they meet is simply unheard of.
Chen Rui really wanted to say that he just let out a little breath to scare Fengbao, and then threatened and lured a few words in the eyes of analysis. Poor Fengbao completed the process of degeneration from a leopard to a cat in this way.
