Chapter 38 The Rage of the Red-haired Bishop
The process of counting nameplates is open and transparent, and it ends quickly.
The number of nameplates in Bian Ruofei's hands is impressively the first, and the second only to him is actually the girl with beautifully dyed pink hair, Lucini.Alan Reston is in third place with a slight advantage.
No one knew that the curly-haired youth hugged No.1's thigh the whole time.
——Except that Lucini was faintly aware of it.
They were blindfolded as they had come, and returned to the church the same way.The three who qualified as final candidates were brought into specially prepared lounges individually.
Because it is possible to become the spokesperson of their most revered god in the end, the three of Bian Ruofei have been properly taken care of.Doctors, bathrooms and food, are thoughtfully prepared.
Compared with that in the dark underground palace, their treatment is simply very different.
Bian Ruofei didn't have too serious injuries, except for the bruises caused by fighting some alien species.After the doctor from the Holy See came, he only prescribed two bottles of ointment-like liquid medicine for him.
One day and one night in the underground palace, the brand-new robes that were originally issued also became dusty, stained with dark brown blood and dust.
Bian Ruofei took over the new robe offered by the people of the Holy See, which was still pure white, embroidered with patterns of special shapes.
He stepped into the bathroom, the warm water had been placed in the bathtub, and there were brand new toiletries on the shelf next to it.
The blond young man closed the frosted glass door, and his face, which was different from his own, was clearly reflected on the smooth mirror.
Hongyan's consideration was very thorough, including the fact that he might stay in the Holy See for a long time.Now this semi-disguised makeup will not be washed off by water.
The young man first removed the braids that had become a little messy due to repeated activities.Long golden hair hangs down to her chest.
Then came the robe and trousers on his body.
He sank into the bathtub with fresh flower petals floating on the surface of the water, and the warm water overflowed his chest, and as he leaned back, he was level with his collarbone.
The lights in the bathroom are embedded in the ceiling, giving off a soft but not dazzling light.
This is class.
When there are many candidates, all of them can be consumables, but once they become one-third of the selected ones, they can get completely different preferential treatment.
However, the Holy See...
Bian Ruofei frowned slightly, only feeling that the last selection was still a little strange.Although everything was logical, he always felt that he seemed to overlook something.
But that's okay too.
Bian Ruofei stirred the water surface at will, making a slight "crash".The long golden hair fell into the water obediently, and then scattered lazily with the buoyancy of the liquid, like floating water plants.
No matter what the Holy See does, the ultimate winner will be himself.
After the three of them came out of the bathroom, after finishing their repairs, the Holy See held a dinner for them that only high-ranking members of the Holy See attended, as part of rewarding the final candidates.
Men's dresses are still white robes that are in line with the style of the Holy See, only the tie on the chest and sleeve decorations are different.And Lucini's dress is a pure white long dress decorated with elegant pearls.
They were led by the monks in charge, and they arrived at a spacious hall. In the center was a long table covered with red velvet, on both sides were seats with neat high chairs, and the main and last seats at both ends.
Bian Ruofei arrived later.Allen was already sitting in a position on the side, and opposite him were two cardinals with unfamiliar faces.
When he arrived, the two were talking.Although he broke away from the team with Bian Ruofei, the curly-haired young man has been a nobleman for 20 years after all, and simple greetings are at his fingertips.
At least one of the cardinals had been coaxed by the nobles' twisted and flamboyant diction until his face was flushed.
Bian Ruofei didn't have the opportunity to be with him exclusively, but pulled out a chair at random near the door and sat down.
He didn't have Hong Yan's ingenious skills, but he loosely bundled his golden hair into strands, and some of the long hair that wasn't tied into the hair tie hung down on his chest at random, showing a different kind of looseness.
Soon after, the archbishop also took the throne.
It wasn't until the banquet was about to start that Lucini came late. She didn't value the dress issued by the Holy See too much, so she walked to the empty seat next to Bian Ruofei and sat down.
Her head was still neatly tied with pink twin ponytails, and her bangs were pinned up by pearl hairpins, revealing her smooth forehead.
——The attire is a bit out of place compared to the elegant dress.
"When's the meal?" Lucini asked bluntly.She didn't seem to have too much awe for the bishop present, and she frankly expressed her most desired thoughts.
After all, anyone who spends a day and a night in a dark and dirty place with only a few compressed biscuits on his food looks forward to a big meal.
The archbishop didn't think it was disobedient, but laughed "hehe", because of this expression, several layers of wrinkles piled up on his face: "Of course it's no problem."
He scanned the entire room and frowned indistinctly: "Hasn't Bishop Gracie come yet?"
"He just went to inspect the neighborhood, and he should be here soon." A cardinal speculated.
"Since the protagonist of the banquet is already hungry, let's serve the soup first," the archbishop said.
"Pre-soup" is a vocabulary formed after the cataclysm, and it specifically refers to drinks and stews.
The monk in charge of arranging the dishes placed the covered cups and bowls in front of everyone one by one.
Bian Ruofei, who was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back and waiting for his meal, felt that this process was a waste of time and boring. He turned his head and saw that Lucini obviously had the same idea. She was quite impatient but still maintained her aristocratic attitude. Etiquette waits.
She lifted the lid, and inside was white fungus and red date soup, the amount was not too big, and it was swallowed in two or three mouthfuls.
No one talked anymore, and the only sound in the room was the soft sound of spoons clinking on the china.
Until the side door of this hall was opened, someone directly pushed the door open.The red-haired young man was tall and tall, and with a glance, the entire hall came into view.
He greeted the archbishop with a symbolic nod, and walked briskly to the only empty seat.
It is on the right side of Bian Ruofei.
"Gracey, you're late." The archbishop joked, "The soup has already been served. If you are late, you will have to punish yourself with a cup."
Noah Gracie said without changing his expression: "The archbishop is right."
He raised the wine glass with his unique sharp posture, and his slender fingers became more and more distinct in the light passing through the waves of the wine.
"There are three protagonists in the banquet, and I should punish myself with three cups to be correct."
Bian Ruofei turned his head to look at the young man who came late.After all, he was an old acquaintance, and everyone on the table was focused on him, and his scrutinizing eyes did not stand out from the crowd.
The red-haired youth's cuffs were darker than other places, as if they were wet, and the other party's body also carried a little cold and damp moisture.
Just when Noah Gracie raised the wine glass high, a dazzling lightning like a fire snake lit up outside the window.
Under the background of the silver-white light outside the window and the opposite warm light inside the room, the red-haired young man raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
From Bian Ruofei's angle, he could even see the protruding Adam's apple when he swallowed the drink.
The thunder outside the window rumbled at this moment, as if a storm was approaching vigorously.
Noah Gracie drank three glasses of white wine in succession without changing his expression, causing Lucini to raise her hands and applaud without hesitation.
"As expected of Mr. Gracie." She praised.
When all the staff are present, the dishes are placed on the table one by one, and the exquisite dishes are shining attractively under the light.
Lucini unceremoniously took the largest piece of meat from the middle plate into her own plate, and quickly and gracefully swallowed a big mouthful.
Even in the Rose Manor, including dozens of lovers owned by Mrs. Nick, she is the most qualified cook!
Every time Madam summons her, she wants to have a big meal~ Little red flowers of happiness even float in the background behind Lucini.
Seeing the girl's happy expression, Bian Ruofei couldn't help laughing.
He moved the knife and fork in front of him, and there was inevitably a little rustiness in his movements.On the other hand, Allen, who was a nobleman since he was a child, behaved very standard.
Noah Gracie glanced at the blond-haired young man sitting next to him, and felt that the hesitant action of the other party placing the fork on the piece of meat was very similar to a person.
Like the beautiful dumb girl who ate cake with a fork in Lieyang Mansion.The same lack of etiquette, but the action is pleasing to the eye.And the same will hesitate for a few seconds after lifting the fork, as if thinking about where to start.
If they are brothers, sisters or relatives, is it possible to have a high degree of overlap in these details?
Noah Gracie didn't think about it any further, but gently tugged on his tight neckline.What he drank just now was high-concentration white wine. At this moment, the heat was radiating from his stomach all the way from the inside to the outside, and his whole body became hot.
It's not that he never gets drunk, but as a man, he also prefers the taste of wine.There is nothing to do in the evening, and a little extra drink will not hinder tomorrow's business.
After the desserts were removed, the archbishop cleared his throat to attract the attention of everyone present.
"Cough. Congratulations again for passing the third round of selection." The archbishop said with a smile, his lowered eyebrows made it difficult to see his expression clearly, "Tomorrow is the succession ceremony of the Holy Son. At that time, the Pope will be under the statue, From the three, select the true god-followed person."
He paused for a while, looked at the expressions of the three candidates, and saw that they had no doubts, and then continued: "So the three need to stay overnight in the residence arranged by the Holy See tonight, waiting for tomorrow's holy ceremony."
The archbishop drew a neat circle on his chest with a solemn expression.
Others followed suit.
At the end of the matter, headed by the archbishop, all the bishops left one after another.And the priests in charge of serving also came to Bian Ruofei and other three candidates, waiting to guide them.
Noah Gracie stood up, also wanting to leave.
He wanted to pass through the gap on the left side of the seat, and Bian Ruofei himself happened to be sitting on his left hand side.
A flash of lightning flashed by, and under this ray of light, the young red-haired bishop clearly saw a small mole on the right ear of the blond young man sitting where he was.
It is usually not conspicuous, but under the light just now, this detail is particularly eye-catching.
After touching this feature, Noah Gracie was already slightly drunk, and didn't realize the abnormality at first.
Until he and Bian Ruofei stepped out of the threshold of the hall one after the other, the heavy solid wooden door closed behind him.
The three candidates were accommodated separately, so in the semi-dark corridor at this time, except for the low-level monk who was responsible for guiding Bian Ruofei, no one else existed.
On the other side directly opposite the hall door, the stained glass windows covering the entire wall shone with confusing light under the reflection of lightning.
At this moment, the brain finally connected all the clues together.Why the dumb girl never spoke, her height is obviously more prominent than the girl, and the small mole on the young man's right ear.
— Absurd to the extreme.
Noah Gracie, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly, turned around suddenly, and his eyes fell sharply on the young man behind.
Bian Ruofei, who was walking behind him, almost bumped into his chest.
"?" He raised his head blankly, and saw Noah Gracie's eyes with a little fire hidden in them.
The young bishop directly and roughly pulled him into the next room with the lights off.
Only the monk who was in charge of leading the way was left looking at the suddenly closed door in shock, and was in a dilemma for a while.
The author has something to say:
Irresponsible little theater written blindly:
The bewildered little monk posted a post on the Holy See's internal forum:
shock!What if the new bishop seems to be having an affair with the candidate son?
I am at their door, waiting online, urgent!
