Chapter 100 Rest Time (XII)

While the other party is still interested in this newcomer, the best way is to build up his favorability first. With familiar people, it will be easier to move around in this city.

Procurement, trade, and personnel movement are all quite troublesome projects.

It was still the same pastry shop located in the municipal center. When Ji Lin arrived, the door was half open and the door sign had been hung up saying it was open.

Thanks to the adjustment of life schedule and the absence of evening entertainment activities, 놛's biological clock has been adjusted back to its normal track.

Getting up early is not a difficult thing for me now.

Only by working and resting on time will you have higher work efficiency. Otherwise, physical fatigue will slowly appear, and the accumulated pressure will collapse at some point.

The time agreed between Alicia and 놛 is...seven-thirty.

At seven-thirty the city begins to wake up.

The industrious food shop has opened, and the aroma of pasta and meat slowly fills the streets as the air rises, attracting pedestrians on the road. The Skitarii still stick to their last shift during the day, and the night comes. It is our time, and the day is returned to this prosperous city.

Yesterday, the walk with Forna didn't feel like it took too long, but now it seemed particularly hectic and hurried for 늅놛 to walk through the city alleys alone.

Fortunately, the hard-working people of the Holy City also have special vehicles to carry people early in the morning, otherwise 놛 would not be able to arrive on time.

Even if 놛 has already left the house an hour and a half early.

The other party put on a completely different outfit from the priest uniform he saw yesterday. The light white suit with dark gold rims was tied with a bow tie at the collar. Four decorative swallowtails spread out from the bottom of the suit to the middle of the thigh. Under the cover is a soft lining made of light gray material, and under the lining is a silk-edged black skirt that just covers the top of the girl's thighs.

Her light silver hair has been tied up and hidden in the wide hat on her head.

There is more of an academic elegance and grace, but less of a priest's solemnity and distance.

She sat quietly in the corner of the shop, her eyes lowered, falling on the thick book in her hand that had been half-read. The light yellow paper was filled with complex graphics and large text. The cold milk tea was placed on her In front of you.

She has been waiting here for some time.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Ji Lin put the pocket watch in his hand, which was used to provide accurate time, back into his pocket. In fact, he put it back into his backpack.

Didn't come too late.

It was 7:25 sharp, but the other party arrived at the pastry shop too early.

He sat back across from Alicia and faced the girl who was about to become a senior priest.

"It's not too late."

The other party shook his head, seeming to notice that Ji Lin's eyes fell on his clothes, which were different from yesterday, and then explained.

"The priest uniform will attract attention, which is very distressing."

So I changed my clothes.

Alicia tilted her head and looked at Ji Lin.

Waiting for 놛's new story.

"Very nice."

늌The visitor praised sincerely, then took the warm tea and cakes from the boss's hands and placed them on the table in front of the two of them.

Continue the story.

At noon, the clock fingertips have gone through a complete circle.

"놖Want to see this city."

So 놛 cautiously asked if 땣 would invite Alicia to go out and see the city together. Since the other party invites me to participate in the Holy Day celebration with her, then it doesn't matter if I invite her in advance to see the Holy City of Telan, right?

Each city-state settlement has its own rules and regulations. If you violate their taboos, being kicked out is a better outcome.

As for this situation, I can now see a large number of leaders discussing it on the forum, and everyone is forced to create a constantly improving table of taboo behaviors in different cities.

The other party nodded slightly and agreed to 놛's request.

"Um."

We met those people who were wearing hoods and handing out leaflets on the street again. There were no skitarii patrolling during the day, and the number of them was larger than usual. They eagerly handed out handouts to everyone who passed by them. Flyer printed with nested circles and sharp boomerang symbols.

"Who are we?"

I asked Fuli Wei, and Fuli Wei said that she knew nothing about the internal problems of the church. She was too busy every day just to make money.

And Alicia may be able to bring you an answer.

This is 놛's interest as an officer, and as a newcomer, 놛 should not have so many interests.

An unexplainable emotion flashed in her eyes, and the scenery of the street flowed in her eyes.

"The Holy Advent Sect, we are not the first existence. We are very dissatisfied with the Privy Council's suppression of all technologies. They don't understand why the Holy City is prosperous and developed today, and they are stuck in the same place."

"And the pope claims that it's all due to the commandments, every single one."

"The Pope's words do not block the Adventists. They want to move forward and are not satisfied with the status quo. They want to see a higher world and know what this world really looks like...find their gods. ”

"With the recent increase in visitors, the Adventists have been severely stimulated. The large amount of information they brought has made the Adventists extremely active, demanding that the Pope show the true commandments to everyone."

"We no longer want to hear those commandments interpreted by the Pope alone, even if these commandments have allowed the Holy City to operate stably and balancedly for thousands of years."

Then the patriarchs issued a ban requiring all priests not to have any contact with the newcomers without permission... But in the face of more and more newcomers, and the priests everywhere in the holy city, this rule has been in name only in a sense.

"Then..."

Ji Lin suddenly remembered something and looked at the girl with clear eyes. Since there was a ban, why did the other party contact him.

"You are not a priest yet, and you are not a holy person."

Alicia's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a slightly playful smile, and her calves, which were squeezed by black stockings, swayed.

"You are not yet a full-time priest. You can participate in the holy day celebration. The rules of the priests cannot bind you."

She retracted her gaze and fell on the face of the man who was traveling with her.

"And your story is not finished yet, little prince, have you finally found the rose that belongs to you?"

Ji Lin shook his head, and he didn't know.

The story after that does not exist in 놛's memory. It is just a fairy tale book that 놛 read a long time ago. 놛 does not even know whether the story reconstructed by memory and thought is the story in his memory.

"The little prince found 놛's rose at the end of the story."

Ji Lin replied softly.

No matter what is in his memory, 놛 is willing to give the story he tells a relatively happy ending.

(Chapter 100! Great! It is a small milestone!)
