"What's going on?"
Elena stopped eating melon seeds and drinking Wangzai milk. She just stood there in a daze, looking at the 'herself' on the screen who seemed to be coated with a layer of gold.
“That’s the question we should ask you.”
Lu Cheng handed Elena some tissues, and Elena quickly wiped the milk stains off her pajamas and cheeks.
"I don't know either." Elena frowned in confusion, and began to try hard to search among her only brothers and sisters...a sister who looked like her.
But no, Elena was the child born to her mother and looked nothing like her other cousins, which made Elena's childhood very lonely.
Now a woman who looks almost exactly like her appears, and Elena is a little overwhelmed.
But at this time, Lu Cheng held Elena's slightly trembling hand. Elena's eyes suddenly moved away from the notebook screen, and what she saw again was Lu Cheng's pupils.
"If you can't remember, don't think about it. You can ask them when the time comes." Lu Cheng said.
Elena felt the warmth coming from Lu Cheng's hand, and for some reason she subconsciously tightened her grip. When she was about to say something, she heard Charlotte's complaint.
"Can you please move aside? You're blocking my view of the screen." Charlotte's complaints from the side perfectly ruined the atmosphere in the room.
"Noyi, what can you do... Um..."
Before Charlotte could finish her next sentence, Noy, who was sitting next to her, stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth.
Charlotte was protesting at first, but she still swallowed the bread obediently. After eating the bread, Lu Cheng sat back in his original seat.
"Is kidnapping the priest part of your plan?"
Nancy on the side was also concerned about why this priest of the Church of Purity looked so much like... Elena.
"We would never do something as immoral as kidnapping. We would only have an interview." When Lu Cheng said this, he felt the suspicious look from Charlotte. When Charlotte was about to say something, Noy stuffed another small piece of bread into her mouth.
On the laptop screen, Jin Naer had already contacted the priest, and everyone in Lucheng stopped discussing.
… … …
The place where Jin Naer met with the Church of Supreme Purity was on the upper level of the slave market, which should be an office exclusively for slave owners.
Zhou Hua pushed Jin Naer into the room and looked around.
Priest Lisa still brought two guards with her on this visit. Zhou Hua had already checked outside the door. Apart from the soldiers commonly seen in the slave market, no other suspicious persons were seen.
"This is the dragon blood we can provide you at the moment."
When Priest Lisa saw Jin Naer, she didn't hesitate and directly took out a small box and asked the guard to put it on the table.
The material of the box is a bit like silver metal, and there are seven bottles of pure golden liquid in the box.
Dragon blood.
Zhou Hua didn't have a good impression of this thing. Lu Cheng had already told him about the effects of dragon blood, and he and Lu Cheng had the same opinion... The function of this thing was definitely not much different from that of poison.
"What do you want to exchange this time?"
Jin Na'er was not in a hurry to accept the six bottles of dragon blood. The content of her transactions with the Church of Purity was different each time.
Although she agrees with the philosophy of the Pure Church, she does not think that everyone in the church will practice the "dogma" they say.
"Your father has recently introduced a batch of goods. We are very interested in those goods, and of course we are also very interested in who the real supplier of the goods is." Priest Lisa said.
"Those goods from outsiders? Didn't you buy any?"
Jin Naer also attended the trade fair held by Earl Lionheart. She had never seen so many goods that could be said to be beyond this era.
Although the trade fair was eventually destroyed by a group of intruding soldiers, the nobles who escaped the purge more or less bought some goods to try out.
"We have collected some of them, but we hope Miss Jinnaer has more goods on hand." said Priest Lisa.
The two ships of goods that Captain Sina brought back were not enough for Earl Lionheart to sell. Some goods that were very useful in the eyes of the nobles were in short supply, leaving only a few not-so-useful goods.
So now Lord Lionheart is waiting for Captain Cinna to return with a ship full of cargo.
"My father only left me a small part. What kind of things do you need?" Jin Naer asked.
"We need all the goods from outsiders."
"Those goods are in my father's mansion, but I have one or two here. I don't think you will be interested, but you will definitely like them... Zhou Hua, help me push them over to the desk."
With the help of Zhou Hua, Jin Naer came to her desk. She fumbled around in the desk for a while and took out a bag of snacks, which were spicy strips.
"Cough." Zhou Hua coughed lightly to ease his laughter. He saw Jin Naer take out the spicy strips very carefully, as if she was holding some ancient treasure. He really couldn't hold back his laughter.
“Is this food?”
Priest Lysa could not understand the words on the packaging, but she could be sure that the square-like words came from a certain Celestial country.
"food."
Jin Naer opened the bag of spicy strips with ease. Judging from her skillful movements, it seemed that this was not her first time eating them.
"We just plan to take this back for analysis." Priest Lisa waved her hand and did not intend to taste the food. The main reason was for safety reasons. God knows what was mixed in the food that the Celestial Empire sold to the Far South.
"It'll be fine if you just eat one." Jin Na'er seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for Priest Lisa.
There is no human being in the world who will not drool after smelling the aroma of spicy strips. This is human instinct... Although part of Priest Lisa is no longer human, the human part still prompts her to secrete saliva crazily when she smells the aroma.
"Just try one."
Priest Lisa finally compromised. She took out one and put it into her mouth cautiously to taste it.
"It tastes very strange, right? Zhou Hua, you can also try it." Jin Na'er shared the snack with her temporary guard, but Zhou Hua was almost tired of eating it.
But he still had to look surprised.
"It does taste like something made with ordinary seasonings, but compared to this food, Miss Jin Naer, I am more concerned about the identity of your guard now."
Priest Lisa wiped the oil stains from the corner of her mouth and set her eyes on Zhou Hua.
"I felt from just now that your guard seemed to have many pairs of eyes staring at me." Priest Lisa's pale golden pupils looked Zhou Hua up and down and asked tentatively, "You are watching, right?"
