Lorraine turned her head and glanced at the old man.
But Lester stopped talking to Lorraine, and saw the old man with the white beard still sitting at the table, sipping tea happily, and even humming the opera "The Sixth Chapter of the Incomparable Prime Minister" for his own entertainment.
The famous excerpt from "The First Expedition to the Mountains": "I was watching the mountain scenery from the tower when I suddenly heard a commotion below the city, with flags and flags fluttering in the air. It turned out to be soldiers sent by Almohad..."
While he sang softly, he gently hit the table with his left hand and beat time to himself. His expression was extremely leisurely, really like an old man on vacation.
Lorraine couldn't help but was speechless for a while. This old guy not only sang, but also changed the lyrics and turned it into a story about bragging about himself. How shameless~!
When the Almohads came, the old guy was still hunting wild boar in a ravine hundreds of miles away from Maple Leaf Forest. Lorraine secretly cursed Lester in her heart.
But facing this old guy who was even more shameless than herself, Lorraine was at her wits' end.
In terms of Houhei's studies, although Lorraine himself has done well, compared with Houhei's proficient Lester, Lorraine is still too young. Experience has proven many times that fighting with this old guy will lead to disadvantages.
You can only be yourself.
Even if Lorraine could occasionally choke Lester, the old guy could still come up with the most powerful move to regain the victory - go to Adele to complain about Lorraine's crime.
Every time Adele would be made to laugh and cry by her adulterer...er, no, her boyfriend, and her grandfather's child-like vindictiveness. In the end, in order to calm the matter, Lorraine had to give Adele a beating.
criticize.
In a word, no matter what, Lorraine will always suffer in the end.
As time passed, Lorraine had learned to be smart. Seeing the old guy wandering around, he immediately turned around and walked towards the door.
Lester looked at it, stopped immediately, and asked doubtfully: "Where are you going? It will be dark soon."
Lorraine didn't stop walking and said, "I feel upset, I'll go for a walk."
Lester couldn't help but bared his teeth in gloating, and then said: "Dinner will be served in a moment. If you can't come back in time for dinner, don't say I didn't remind you~! Young people nowadays, really, how can they be like this?
When I was young..."
Lorraine waved his hand impatiently and said: "I know, I know, you are so wise and powerful that you will rule the world for generations to come..."
With that said, he walked out of the door.
Lester scratched his head. Although what Lorraine said was a compliment, why didn't it sound like a good word?
Leo looked at it and hesitated immediately. Seeing that Lorraine had disappeared outside the door, his big black eyes turned slyly twice, then he slapped Xiaobai and got up from the ground.
He stood up and took two steps, but found something was wrong. When he looked back, he saw Xiaobai still looking stupid, holding the plate of fruit and eating to his heart's content. Every now and then he would pick up a bunch.
I stuffed grapes, apples, etc. into my mouth and smiled while eating them, feeling extremely happy.
Seeing that his little brother was so dishonest, Leo suddenly felt very embarrassed.
He ran back immediately, jumped up, and shuddered at Xiaobai's head, saying: "You know how to eat when you leave, and you don't even look at how fat you have become~! No wonder Nicole has been so busy recently.
If you say nothing is thrown away in the kitchen, your butt is wider than the kitchen door."
After finishing speaking, he shook his aching fingers. At the same time, a strange sense of accomplishment came to his heart.
He couldn't help but thought to himself: No wonder Nicole and the other bastards always like to knock on people's foreheads. This feels really good, but it seems that in the entire Governor's Mansion, there are also novices who can knock on people. When he meets other people like Leo,
They were all beaten to death.
Although the little white guy didn't care, he stretched out his nose and rubbed his forehead. He looked at Leo with an aggrieved look, but he still couldn't bear to let go of the plate in front of him.
Leo kicked his legs and threatened angrily: "Xiao Bai, if you continue to eat like this, go back and run fifty kilometers cross-country for me every day to lose weight."
"Fifty kilometers cross-country?" Xiaobai was frightened when he heard it.
He knows that the training is hellish. After one run, his tongue will stick out like a dog when he is tired.
Uncle Xiaobai has always been lazy and greedy, and he will never sit down if he can lie down, so how can he suffer such a sin?
It looked at the fruits on the plate in front of it and found that it had almost eaten the contents. Therefore, it made a prompt decision and gave the plate a heavy push very decisively.
After its strong force, the plate was immediately pushed far away and hit the opposite wall with a loud bang.
Leo snorted proudly, then crossed his fingers and said, "Let's go, let's go out for a walk. It's so difficult for us to come to the Holy See, so we have to take a look around, right?"
Xiaobai reluctantly got up from the ground, then swung his fat butt, followed Leo, and headed out the door.
Lester ignored them, but when he brought the tea cup to his mouth, he paused for a moment, and then said: "When you go out, you must come back early."
Leo waved his hand impatiently and said: "I know, I know."
Xiaobai looked at it and imitated Leo's example. He waved his long nose in a dog-like manner and yelled impatiently, clearly indicating that he also knew.
Watching them disappear outside the door, Vera tilted her head and thought for a moment, then stretched out her hands, gently touched her spring onion-like index fingers on her chest, and stammered: "Old...
Teacher...I...I..."
Lester immediately sighed and said: "I know, I know, you want to go out too, right?"
Vera hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "I...I want to go see Melia and Melina."
Lester could hear that something was wrong with her tone. He turned around and took a look, and saw Vera blinking her big sea-blue eyes that could speak, and looking at him innocently, without looking at him at all.
Without any flaws, he could only say: "I know. You can go too..."
Vera immediately cheered, then reached out to hold the hem of her long skirt, turned around and ran out.
After a while, only old Lester was left in the room.
He didn't care at all. In fact, if it wasn't for his special status, he would have wanted to go out for a few rounds.
It's like priests scurrying to the land of magicians and wandering around. If you are an ordinary person, forget it. But if your priest goes there and sticks his nose everywhere, it will inevitably attract people's disgust.
In the same way, as a magician, in this land of priests, you have to show some respect. If there is no one to accompany you, it is best to be honest.
Although Old Lester was powerful and relied on his own skills, he was not a fool. Based on the previous conflicts between magicians and priests, it was quite generous for the Holy See to allow him to come in and stay in a VIP hotel.
Everyone is out to fool around. Since they are giving you face, of course you have to know what is good and what is good, right?
Although Lester is very interested in Fantino City and heard that there are several powerful magic weapons installed in the city, two of which are handed down from the era of the war between gods and demons, he can only suppress his curiosity and be honest.
Really stay here.
At this time, Old Lester comfortably put his legs on the table, then lay back, gently tapping his right hand on his legs, and continued singing: "When you come here, I have no other respect. Good morning.
We have prepared lambs and fine wine, waiting to reward your three armies. It is time to enter the city. Why are you hesitant and in a dilemma? What is your reason?..."
When Adele was rehearsing this play, he also followed her for many performances and was considered a professional fan. When he sang it at this time, the melody was melodious and full of charm, very much like the Prime Minister in the opera.
That calm and unhurried feeling when you are planning something and winning something.
xxxxxxxxxx
As I have inquired clearly, there are no special restricted areas in this city. Those places that do not allow unauthorized entry are naturally tightly guarded by the Templars. As long as there is no one guarding the place, you can visit it at will.
Lorraine went out and didn't have to worry about anything at the moment.
He followed the path he remembered and left the apse, and walked toward the main square in a swaggering manner.
Just as he left the apse and walked through the arched moon gate in the garden, he passed by two low-ranking black-robed priests.
Lorraine did not look back, but suddenly felt a shock on his wrist, and the battle soul sword seemed to beat slightly, and then a strange scene appeared in his mind.
The two black-robed priests took a few steps forward, then looked at each other, turned around, and fell far behind themselves.'
Lorraine's heart moved, and he knew that this was War Soul Sword warning him that there was something wrong with the two black-robed priests, and they were probably coming for him.
But he did not stop, still pretending that nothing happened, and walked slowly and leisurely towards St. Paul's Square.
At this time, it was already summer, and although it was getting a little late, it was still bright.
This season is the time of year when there are the most pilgrims. The square is full of people gathering together. Some are talking around the priest, some are wandering aimlessly, and some simply spread out their blankets and prepare to walk in the square.
Enjoy sleeping outdoors.
Lorraine was wearing ordinary clothes, which were just a little more gorgeous at most, but people who were better dressed than Lorraine were everywhere, and Lorraine was mixed in among them, just like an ordinary tourist, without any notice.
There was nothing wrong with him, and no one could tell from his attire that he was a world-famous iron-fisted governor.
After walking back and forth in the main square twice, he couldn't help but frown.
Although he changed his movements several times among the crowd, and even deliberately chose crowded places to walk through, he found that the person's tracking skills were also extremely high, and he still followed closely behind him, and was never thrown away by him.
.
Lorraine looked up at the sky. It was almost dusk at this time, and the sun was setting in the west, dyeing all the sunset on the horizon into a magnificent red, which looked extremely beautiful.
The beautiful scenery attracted people on the road to stop and watch.
But Lorraine had no intention of watching. According to the rules he made (copied) for contacting CIA intelligence personnel, if he could not be contacted today, due to the principle of confidentiality, he would have to wait until three days later. But at that time,
Who knows what might happen?
Information is very important to Lorraine. At this critical moment in the competition for the next Pope's throne, Lorraine does not know much about the situation within the Holy See, especially this is likely to involve Hilmeria.
This situation made Lorraine very uneasy.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become anxious.
He calmed down for a while, then came to the middle of the big square, then raised his head, looked at the top of the huge obelisk, and was stunned for a while.
The two priests following him couldn't help but look at each other, and they all felt strange. Could it be that this lord was really just out for a stroll? He had already walked around the main square aimlessly twice.
At this moment, Lorraine yawned and then stretched greatly.
This lazy movement is obviously very inappropriate in the Holy City and in this sacred square. To put it bluntly, it is disrespectful.
This aroused the resentment of the pilgrims nearby. They immediately felt a little dissatisfied and expressed their dissatisfaction. They cast angry eyes at Lorraine. Some of them clenched their fists and wanted to teach Father God a lesson.
Forest.
Lorraine was also embarrassed, and kept laughing along with her, and then turned around and left quickly in the eyes of everyone.
Seeing this, the two black-robed priests also hurriedly followed.
Seeing his action, a figure who had been waiting in a dark place suddenly raised his head, but then regained his composure.
He watched helplessly as the two black-robed priests followed Lorraine. But he did not make a sound, but looked around calmly, and then put the hood on his head.
This kind of dress is very common in the Holy City and can be seen almost everywhere. Although this disguise is simple, it is extremely effective. Unless someone dares to step forward extremely rudely and take off his hat, his face will never be seen.
After putting on his hood, he looked around again to make sure no one noticed him, and then slowly walked towards a side path.
There is a shortcut to the backup connection point~!
Lorraine walked along the avenue for a while, and then saw a small church appearing next to it. She immediately turned around without thinking and walked to the door of the church.
Seeing this, the two black-robed priests also hurriedly followed.
Lorraine didn't look back. She just heard their footsteps, and then made a mental calculation. When they were only ten steps away from her, she suddenly turned back.
I saw that the two people were unprepared, with a look of panic on their faces, but then they turned their heads pretending to be nonchalant.
Lorraine looked at their embarrassed appearance and couldn't help cursing in her heart: You little bastards~! You dare to follow Sir Alex at this level. Any rookie under my command is better than you. I really don't know whether to live or die~!
But he didn't say anything, but stared at them coldly.
The two people were very embarrassed and could only pretend to be nonchalant and walked past Lorraine.
Lorraine kept staring at their backs, and the two of them felt like thorns on their backs, so they could only bite the bullet and walk forward slowly.
The person staring at them with an unkind look was a cruel governor who killed without blinking an eye. Hundreds of bishops and priests died in his hands. It was impossible to say that they were not afraid.
At this moment, the church's evening bell rang.
'Dang, Dang Dang Dang...'
The sound of the bell was melodious and beautiful, and it was very pleasant to hear.
As the bells rang, churches of all sizes scattered in the Holy City also rang their evening bells.
The bells intertwined together and turned into a huge sound wave that resounded throughout the holy city.
This is also one of the characteristics of the Holy City.
Every time in the morning, noon, or evening, the bell will ring to tell the time.
When Lorraine heard the bell, she paused briefly, then turned around and walked towards the church.
He pushed open the heavy oak door and walked in.
The door then closed behind him.
Since it was already dark and it was not yet time to light the candles, it was extremely dark inside the church and it was almost impossible to see anything.
Lorraine knew that from now on, she would have ten seconds to separate herself from the stalker's sight.
He stood still at the door, and at this time, a man in black was walking slowly outside along the aisle.
When the two of them passed each other, the man had already quietly handed a document into Lorraine's hands.
Lorraine didn't look at him, and just said in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work."
The man's figure froze, but he didn't speak. He just said a faint 'hmm'.
Lorraine didn't look back. She just clenched the document in her hand. The document was heavy and heavy~!
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional: This person had penetrated into the Holy See, and how much hardship he had to put in to achieve these results. Moreover, he had to keep it secret at all times. If he were not careful, he would be in danger of catastrophe. It was like walking on a tightrope. But
In this regard, I could only say "Thank you" to him.
But then Lorraine remembered something, and then continued: "By the way, do you know where the place with the high wall is?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and then in a tone that seemed to be suppressing laughter, he whispered: "Just go out and buy a map and you'll find out."
After saying that, the two of them passed each other.
Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
The man continued to walk forward, and Lorraine also walked towards the podium in the middle of the church.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the two stalkers had obviously reacted.
They ran back quickly, opened the door and walked in.
But just as they squinted their eyes and adapted to the dim light in the church, the man in black robes quietly walked out from the side and disappeared from their sight.
When the two stalkers adapted to the dim light in the church, they could only see Lorraine saluting the statue in the center in front of the church's pulpit, and then throwing a gold coin into the donation box next to it.
inside.
He listened to the panting sounds of the two stalkers behind him, which sounded like bellows blowing, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: You deserve it~! If you guys are so tired, you all get pneumonia, and you will die.
Woolen cloth.
After he saluted, he turned around and walked towards the door.
The two stalkers were at a loss for a moment. When they saw Lorraine approaching, they woke up and hurriedly moved to both sides to get out of the way.
Lorraine looked at the sweat on their faces and almost spit out her tired tongue. She cursed in a low voice: Idiot~!
Then he walked away in a swaggering manner.
The two knew that they had been completely exposed, so they simply stopped pretending and simply followed Lorraine carelessly. They walked when Lorraine left and stopped when Lorraine stopped.
Lorraine was completely disdainful of the professional quality of the Vatican staff, as they had no professional skills at all.
Lorraine completed the task and didn't stay much. Just to avoid exposing his flaws, he wandered slowly along the way, completely treating himself as a tourist. In order to confuse the two guys, he also deliberately found someone.
say.
Things like 'The weather is very good today, but it has been raining for three days.' 'There are mushrooms growing on the pine trees, and the female cat howls at the moon...' and so on. It's all nonsense.
The passers-by who responded were so baffled by those words that they thought they had met a madman.
But it succeeded in making the two stalkers behind him as tired as dogs.
In the opinion of the two stalkers, is Lorraine a lunatic? Of course not. Then the words he said must have ulterior motives, like female cats, mushrooms, etc. They are definitely code words.
The two of them had to write down the conversation between Lorraine and passers-by verbatim, and then they also had to remember the appearance of the person who spoke to Lorraine, and carefully observe whether there was anything suspicious about them.
In the end, there were too many people who were dragged into chatting by Lorraine. The two stalkers' multitasking caused their brains to overload and run wildly, and they almost went crazy at that time.
Despite this, when Lorraine returned to the apse, the two of them were already frothing at the mouth, their eyes were unfocused, they kept turning around in circles, pulling their hair in handfuls, and kept talking.
He murmured code words such as 'she-cat, moon, dragon, treasure, laurel, nightingale...' and so on, and the whole person was completely on the verge of collapse.
Lorraine walked back to her residence and saw that someone had already delivered dinner.
The Holy See received Lorraine and Lester with the highest standards. All the expensive dishes were placed on the table, with selected red wine and juice beside them.
These dishes made Lester speechless. Compared with this, the working meals provided by the Mage Association were as simple as a roadside stall in the countryside, which made Lester feel very unfair.
They all eat and drink with public funds, so why is there such a big difference in treatment? Could it be that the guys from the Lawyers Association have arbitrarily increased the meal expenses themselves?
Leo and Xiaobai were gathered around the table, fighting over fruits and snacks.
Both of them looked like they had been dug out of a pile of mud. They were as dirty as mud monkeys. I don't know where they had gone to the wild. It was not easy to get themselves so dirty.
Next to him, Old Lester was sipping red wine and eating medium-rare veal tenderloins with a knife and fork. The meat was grilled extremely well, and even though they were far away, you could still smell the aroma.
.
Lorraine looked around and then said, "Where's Vera? Why didn't you see her?"
Lester took an elegant sip of red wine, swallowed the tender beef with the wine, tasted it carefully for a while, and then said: "She went to Melia's place. And she specially asked Melina to come over,
I told them that I would stay with them tonight and not come back."
Lorraine listened and shrugged immediately. Then he also sat down.
After everyone had dinner, Lester went back to rest.
Lorraine took out the document and looked through it briefly under the light. The document was extremely precious.
Due to the sudden death of the original Cardinal Karados, his forces collapsed. The red archbishops from all sides saw the advantages and extended olive branches to these forces and recruited them. Those who could not be recruited, they tried to destroy them.
Lose.
Kalados's men either defected to the wall or their heads disappeared.
The lurker's subordinates were relatively successful and handled things appropriately, so they attracted the attention of many red archbishops and recruited them one after another.
But he was also waiting for a price, taking advantage of his unique conditions, snooping around, and plundered almost all the forces that were hostile to Obachm's family.
Lorraine looked at the thick document and couldn't help but hesitate. This was a priceless document. But now that her cheap father-in-law didn't allow her to meet her, how could she deliver it to Obachm and the others?
Woolen cloth?
At this moment, Leo and Xiaobai were seen running in. They had completely taken a shower and changed into clean clothes and ran in.
One of the two bad guys looks fatter than the other.
They came closer and spread out a map on the table. They kept gesticulating on it with a very strange look.
Lorraine looked at it and became curious.
He leaned over and saw at first glance the high wall dotted line clearly marked on the map, which represented the nuns' residence.
He couldn't help but wonder: "Where did you get this map?"
Leo glanced at him in surprise and said: This map costs five coppers each and is sold everywhere on the street. Didn't you know?"
Only then did Lorraine remember that she had bought a copy.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder the lurker wanted to laugh. It turned out that everyone knew about this situation, and it was a shame that he secretly inquired about it.
He also took out his map at that moment, then moved a candle and studied it carefully.
Seeing that Lorraine also took out a map, Leo and Xiaobai immediately looked at each other, then looked at Lorraine together. Finally, they lowered their heads together and studied their maps carefully.
It seemed like there was a tacit understanding, but neither of them asked each other what they were studying with this map~!
On the other side, a girl was sitting in front of the lamp, looking at the spread out map, frowning her picturesque eyebrows, and studying it carefully.
She looked at the map and murmured: "How is this drawn? Where is the east and which is the west? It's really strange..."
She was muttering to herself in confusion, while ruffling her smooth and silky hair. She looked so cute and innocent, but also made people feel a little heartbroken.
