Chapter 804 Lu Chen: Finally met someone less attractive than me

"Where did you go so early in the morning?"

Lu Lin looked at her brother in confusion at the dining table. In the morning, the servants knocked on the door and found no movement. They did not dare to disturb the young master, so they asked Lu Lin for instructions on the matter.

Lu Linxin said that her younger brother was very diligent during this period, so how could he be lazy in bed? She was afraid that the other person was sick, so she ran to take a look, but when she opened the door, she found that the person was not there at all, and the bedding was neatly spread out.

The reason why she asked about it in the morning was because she hadn't thought that her pure and kind brother would go out at night to do things like steal fragrance and jade.

"Oh, Helen came to see me temporarily, so I went out for a while."

Lu Chen said vaguely and put the blame on Helen. Anyway, the other party is from the Inquisition and rarely appears openly within the church. Even if my sister goes to the church, the probability of seeing the other party is very small. Even if she does, I believe Helen still has some discernment.

"Is that so? You've just come to work and you're already so busy."

Lu Lin didn't feel anything was wrong, and praised: "But you made the bed well, you deserve praise."

Lu Chen was a little embarrassed. He was not really a child, and the servants serving the dishes nearby also looked a little strange, but they all lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to show anything.

After finishing the meal, Lu Chen gave Lu Lin the subsidy advanced by the church and asked her to take the servants in the capital to purchase some daily necessities that fit her habits, while he himself went to the Morning Embrace Church.

…………

"Mr. Lu, your review has passed."

Sylphy received Lu Chen in a remote corner of the library, handed several things to Lu Chen respectfully, and introduced them one by one.

"This is your regular certificate. It is a provincial and district bishop. It has been filed internally by Morning Embrace Church. It is just without actual management. You can use it on some occasions."

Sylphy pointed to a beautifully crafted leather document and said that provincial bishops are only the second level among the three levels of bishops, and bishops do not necessarily have to manage a church. After all, there are only so many provinces in the Sistine Empire. , there are still people with empty titles and no need to manage them.

Of course, if you have a title, you can get a salary. There are several idle district bishops in the royal capital who are from high nobles. They just need this status to improve their status.

The first-level bishops manage churches at the municipal level. The second-level bishops, also known as district bishops, have the maximum authority to manage a province. As for the third-level bishops, they are called cardinals or cardinals.

Cardinal archbishops also seldom participate in the management of various regions. Unless they are some extremely important provinces, they are generally managed by ordinary district bishops.

But the red archbishops are no idlers. They are all high-level leaders within the church, with significant decision-making power. They are often formerly powerful night watchmen.

After all, no matter what era, fists are the biggest truth. Today, the twelve cardinals of the Morning Support Church are all special-level night watchmen.

When Sylphy said this to Lu Chen, she just wanted him to understand that in many cases it is not appropriate to produce another piece of identification.

"And this token is the identification card of the Inquisition, with your number engraved on it."

Sylphy introduced another item, which was a white token made of special stone, with a seraph engraved in the center. The complex patterns wrapped around the seraph like vines, extending to the top of the token. All around.

"It seems that the Inquisition is not very popular, so I am working in the Inquisition now?"

Lu Chen wanted to figure out his department.

Sylphy smiled and nodded, "Yes, according to the above arrangements, Mr. Lu has been assigned to the Inquisition and is responsible for handling special disasters. Of course, when necessary, you may also be asked to deal with some heretics."

She changed her tone and said, "As for the question of whether to be welcomed or not...you should know that of course few people will like a person who is feared."

Lu Chen nodded and put away the two documents, "Does the Inquisition require attendance? Should I go see my immediate superior?"

Sylphy shook her head first, "There is no need to check attendance. The Inquisition in the Royal Capital is at least a high-risk night watchman. They will be responsible for handling daily work. Special-level dispatch is very flexible. On weekdays, you only need to be on call, but The church stipulates that special night watchmen must deal with high-risk incidents at least three times a year."

Lu Chen understands this. After all, the church does not really raise a group of fishermen. There are not many special disasters. And if a special disaster occurs, even if you don't have time to go, the church also has other special disasters, so it is easy for someone to cause trouble. water situation.

This rule is just to give the special ones a snack and go out to solve at least a few difficult things every year.

"Mr. Lu also asked if you should go see the Chief Magistrate. My suggestion is... Actually, you don't have to meet him. After all... the Chief Magistrate is a bit fierce."

Sylphy said hesitantly, these extraordinary organizations don't do the same things as mortal companies, and the chief referee doesn't like others to please him.

If nothing happens, if you run to see him, he might feel like you're wasting his time.

"Oh? Is it very fierce?"

Lu Chen asked back, he really wanted to see what the divine envoy class was like, and he had an idea of ​​what it was like.

Sylphy looked around and whispered: "I met the chief referee once, and he felt more terrifying than weird."

"Oh? Really? Sister Sylphy, it makes me so sad to hear you say that."

At this time, a deep male voice sounded, making Sylphy tremble.

She immediately stood up straight, turned around and performed a religious ritual. She closed her beautiful eyes tightly and didn't dare to open them, but she felt that not seeing clearly would be scarier, so she secretly opened a crack and looked. When I saw the man wearing a dark red shirt and a black suit, I thought I was done, should I be written down in the notebook?

I was actually talking about the referee behind his back, saying bad things about him, and it was heard! ?

Lu Chen also stood up at this time and looked at this handsome oriental man. Judging from his face, he seemed to be only 27 or 28 years old. From his temperament, he actually felt like he had found a soulmate.

"Mr. Lu, there is no need to be restrained. I have always been very kind to my own people. If you don't believe me, ask Helen."

Ji Wu Jiu showed a smile that was extremely terrifying in Sister Sylphy's eyes, almost like the smile of the God of Death. She was extremely frightened, wondering if committing suicide at night would be the right choice?

"Hello, it's an honor to meet the Chief Referee."

Lu Chen raised his hand slightly, almost turning it into a fist, but finally stretched out a hand.

"Ji Wu Jiu."

Ji Wu Jiu briefly introduced himself, then looked at the trembling Sister Sylphy, who seemed a little helpless, "Sister Sylphy, don't you have to go to Wang Lite and other seminaries to give lectures in the afternoon? Isn't it time to leave now?" ?”

Sister Sylphy was brought back to her senses, and she didn't dare to look into Ji Wu Jiu's eyes, and nodded repeatedly, "Ah, yes, yes, I have to go give a lecture to the children, so I'll leave first."

She trotted away from the library, still wondering in her heart, how could the chief referee know about my plans? I wouldn't have been recorded in the notebook, right?

After Lu Chen shook hands with Ji Wu Jiu, they both sat down. It seemed that the Lord Advocate was not busy at the moment and wanted to talk to him about something.

In his Martial Arts Heaven's eyes, he could clearly see the details of Ji Wu Jiu's attributes.

Constitution 178 points, strength 178 points, agility 179 points, spirit 180 points, charm... is minus 3 points.

The opponent is indeed stronger than him now. In a world like Zhetian, he would be at the Saint King level, but his charm is very disappointing.

Lu Chen finally found someone he could crush, and he felt inexplicably better.

"Why do I feel that Mr. Lu is thinking of something rude?"

Ji Wu Jiu smiled and raised his hand, covering it on the table. A tea set appeared in the shadow under the blocked sunlight. He calmly made tea in the public library.

"No, no, I just think the referee looks very kind."

Lu Chen smiled awkwardly.

"oh?"

Ji Wu Jiu's eyes lit up, "You are the first to say that about me, but actually I think Mr. Lu is quite kind. We extraordinary people don't have many rules. You can call me Mr. Ji."

It wasn't that he was following Lu Chen's words, but when he saw Lu Chen today, he really felt that the other person was very kind, as if he was on the same road as him, um... pleasing to the eye.

If the other party is really not from the Eternal Night Church, he will feel more pleasing to the eye after confirming it.

"Mr. Ji, what does our Inquisition usually do? Is she so afraid?"

Lu Chen asked with a smile, feeling that Sylphy was overreacting.

"Oh, it's nothing. Every year, apart from dealing with some weird events that are difficult for the regular Night Watch team to deal with, we just kill some heretics."

Ji Wu Jiu skillfully brewed the tea and heated the teapot with the strange power of precise control. The tea he brewed was not the black tea that the nobles of the Sistine Empire often drank, but a green tea with a light and elegant fragrance.

He thought for a while, then showed what he thought was a friendly smile and said, "It's just that we decide those heresies, and some of them may not be true heresies."

Facing Ji Wu Jiu's straightforward "shamelessness", Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, but he also knew that this was a common method within the religion.

Anyone who is an enemy is a heretic.

"This is a kind of tea I purchased from the Eastern Province. It is different from what everyone usually drinks. I hope Mr. Lu can get used to it."

Ji Wu Jiu poured a drink for Lu Chen. As long as he was not with the unscrupulous Pope, he was usually very personable.

"To be more specific, what are the additional subsidies for our work?"

Lu Chen went straight to the point.

Ji Wu Jiu was stunned for a moment, "Are you short of money?"

Didn’t the church arrange everything for him? Why do you look like you are in a hurry to get to work and can't open the pot at home?

"When I was young, I was afraid of being poor. If I had the opportunity, I would naturally work hard and become rich."

Lu Chen vaguely said that if the Western Pound could not be exchanged for props and items, he would regard money as dirt.

"This is not something to be ashamed of. Just like your previous position, as long as you go on field missions, you will get additional bonuses after completion. The bonus amount will vary depending on whether you successfully collected the weird origin or mysterious items."

Ji Wu Jiu explained: "People like us will not be short of money. Mr. Lu's title will be approved at the royal meeting next week, and then he will be a real Viscount. In fact, if you have a girl you like, , why not think about how to improve your title, after all, all the girls in this city want to be a duchess."

"What about Mr. Ji?"

Lu Chen asked. In fact, he didn't care about the title. He couldn't be eaten as food and there was no room for rewards. Eryi just wanted to be a viscountess.

"I?"

Ji Wu Jiu smiled, "I'm almost sixty, and I'll be buried in more than twenty years. I'm still single, and I don't have that kind of need, so I won't delay the little girls."

The lifespan of extraordinary beings is not longer than that of mortals. On the contrary, based on Ji Wu Jiu's background, if he were a mortal, he might be able to live a hundred years, but as an extraordinary, he could only live to be eighty years old.

Although he is already a powerful man at the level of a divine envoy, his body has been eroded by strange things all the year round, hurting his enemies as well as himself, and he cannot live long at all.

"But Mr. Ji looks quite young."

Lu Chen took a sip of tea. In fact, he knew that the referee in front of him was a duke.

Not to mention he is sixty years old, even if he is dying at eighty, there will still be little girls trying to climb into his bed, even though his temperament is so terrifying.

Ji Wu Jiu waved his hand, "Don't talk about that. Although I happened to meet Mr. Lu here today, I still have a task I want to give you."

"Happy to oblige."

Lu Chen said that he never rejects opportunities to make money.

"First of all, I would like to ask, has Mr. Lu heard of the Guardians?"

Ji Wu Jiu put down the tea cup and stared into Lu Chen's eyes, but he only saw true confusion, not fake.

"what is that?"

Lu Chen humbly asked for advice, thinking that you guys have so many nouns, can't they all be included in a noun list?

"Legend has it that the first pope of the Morning Embrace Church was a guardian. He was gifted by the Goddess of Morning Embrace and received the strongest talent. Therefore, at the age of twenty, he was already a divine envoy. He is a strong man, and it was his existence that protected the Sistine Empire from the darkness at the beginning of the Third Age."

Ji Wujiu paused for a moment, "Including the Kingdom of Steam and Machinery at that time. The history classes in the academy won't talk about it, but in fact, the Kingdom of Steam and Machinery originally belonged to the Sistine Empire, and they were later split off. "

"Then the people of the country of steam and machinery betrayed the empire that once protected them. In Mr. Ji's eyes, isn't this a heresy?"

Lu Chen asked.

Unexpectedly, Ji Wujiu shook his head, "The history of the split is very vague. Who knows what the inside story is. I don't judge unclear things. For now, the Sistine Empire is a headache enough. , to be honest, the smaller territory reduces our work pressure, which is a good thing.”

He continued: "I'm a little off topic. What I want to say is that guardians are the most special existences. Basically, one appears every two hundred years, which is enough to stabilize an era, make existences in the dark night tremble, and protect human beings. Civilization, hence its reputation as a guardian.”

Ji Wu Jiu paused, "...and I want to send you to go to the place where you protect the inheritance."
