Chapter 100 Rest Time (XII)

While the other party is still interested in him as an outsider, it is the right way to improve his favorability first. With familiar people, he can move more conveniently in this city.

Procurement, trade, and personnel flow are all very troublesome projects.

It is still the pastry shop located in the municipal center. When Ji Lin arrived, the door was half open and a sign saying "Open for Business" was hung.

Thanks to the adjustment of his daily routine and the lack of evening entertainment, his biological clock has been adjusted back to normal.

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

Only by keeping a regular schedule can you have higher work efficiency, otherwise physical fatigue will slowly emerge, and the accumulated pressure will collapse at some point.

The time Alicia agreed with him was... 7:30.

At 7:30, the city began to wake up.

The diligent food store has opened. The aroma of pasta and meat in the air slowly fills the streets as the air rises, attracting pedestrians on the road. The Skitarii still sticks to the last shift of the day. The night is the time when they are needed, and the day is returned to this prosperous city.

Yesterday, it didn't feel that it took too long to walk with Forna, but now he is walking alone in the city alleys and seems particularly flustered and hurried.

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

Even though he has left home an hour and a half in advance.

The other party changed into a completely different outfit from the priest's uniform seen yesterday. The light white coat with dark gold edges is tied at the collar with a bow tie, and four decorative swallowtails are spread out from the bottom of the coat until the middle of the thigh. Under the coat is a soft lining made of light gray fabric, and under the lining is a silk-edged black short skirt that just covers the girl's thigh root.

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

She has more academic elegance and grace, but less solemnity and distance of a priest.

She sat quietly in the corner of the shop, her eyes downcast, looking at the thick leather book in her hand that she had read halfway. The light yellow paper was filled with complex graphics and large texts, and the cold milk tea was placed in front of her.

She has been waiting here for a while.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Ji Lin put the pocket watch in his hand that provided accurate time back into his pocket, actually back into his backpack.

He was not late.

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

He sat back opposite Alicia, facing the girl who was about to become a senior priest.

"Not late."

The other party shook her head, as if noticing that Ji Lin's eyes fell on her clothes that were different from yesterday, and explained.

"I am very distressed that the priest's uniform will be noticed."

So I changed clothes.

Alicia tilted her head and looked at Ji Lin.

Waiting for his new story.

"Very good."

The outsider praised sincerely, then took the warm tea and cakes from the boss and placed them on the table in front of the two.

Continue to tell the story.

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

"I want to see this city."

So he asked cautiously and carefully if he could invite Alicia to go out and see the city together. Since the other party invited him to participate in the Holy Day celebration with her, then it should be okay for him to invite her to see the holy city of Teran in advance, right?

Each city-state settlement has its own rules and codes of conduct. If they violate their taboos, being kicked out is a relatively good outcome.

In this case, he can now see a large number of lords discussing it on the forum, and everyone is forced to establish a constantly improving taboo behavior table for different cities.

And the other party nodded gently and agreed to his request.

"Yeah."

They met those people who were handing out flyers in hoods on the street again. There were no Crusaders patrolling during the day, so their numbers were larger than usual. They eagerly handed out flyers with nested rings and sharp boomerang symbols to everyone who passed by them.

"Who are they?"

He asked Fulwei, who said that she knew nothing about the problems within the church. She was busy making money every day.

And Alicia might give him an answer.

This was his interest as an officer, and as an outsider, he shouldn't have so many interests.

There was an inexplicable emotion in her eyes, and the scenery of the street flowed in her eyes.

"The Holy Adventists, they have existed for a long time. They 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, but they are still confined to the same place."

"The Pope claims that all this is due to the commandments, and it has been like this for every generation."

"The Pope's words can't stop the Holy Adventists. They want to move forward, they are not satisfied with the status quo, they want to see a higher world, they want to know the true appearance of this world... find our gods."

"With the recent increase in outsiders, the Holy Adventists have been seriously stimulated. The large amount of information they brought has made the Holy Adventists extremely active, and they asked the Pope to show the real commandments to everyone."

"They no longer want to listen to the commandments that are interpreted by only the Pope, even if these commandments have allowed the Holy City to run in a stable and balanced manner for thousands of years."

Then the patriarchs issued a ban requiring all priests not to have any contact with outsiders without permission... But in the face of more and more outsiders, and with priests everywhere in the holy city, this rule has become a dead end 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?

"I'm not a priest yet, and I'm not a member of the Holy Advent Sect."

Alicia's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a slightly playful smile, and her calves, which were outlined by black stockings, swayed.

"I'm not an adult yet. I can't be bound by the rules of the priests when I participate in the Holy Day celebration."

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

"And your story is not over yet, little prince, did you finally find the rose that belongs to him?"

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

The story after that did not exist in his memory. It was just a fairy tale book he had read a long time ago. He didn't even know whether these stories reconstructed by memory and thought were the stories in his memory.

"The little prince found his rose at the end of the story."

Ji Lin replied softly.

No matter what he remembered, he was willing to give his story a happy ending.

(Chapter 100! Great! It's a small milestone!)
