Chapter 680: Absurd Party
Amandina looked at Father Cali, who was preaching naked, several times from top to bottom and bottom to top, and her gaze finally fell on her fiancé Luo Bote, who was kneeling beside him.
This young man with brown hair, whose skin presented a paleness from not being exposed to the sun for a long time, changed his slightly cold temperament and was also very excited, but controlled himself, waiting patiently for the priest to finish the sermon.
The other few naked men were becoming more and more restless, gradually becoming agitated.
But it could be seen that they were very respectful of Father Cali, and in the dream where self-control was completely disintegrated, they didn't directly start the party, just occasionally doing some small actions.
If the gods were watching here, He would burn all of them to death... Amandina, a devout believer of the "Eternal Blazing Sun," instinctively wanted to kneel to the side and lower her head to repent.
This is such a blasphemous scene!
Father Cali held the open sun holy scripture, continuing to preach the teachings of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" to those few naked men with an abnormally excited expression:
"God says, the sunlight shines justly on everyone..."
During the sermon, Father Cali's gaze frequently swept across the faces, chests, and lower bodies of Luo Bote and other pure Northern Continent natives, revealing uncontrollable satisfaction, pleasure, and enjoyment in his expression.
Lu Mian had always felt that he could be called knowledgeable, and had even destroyed the sacred actions of the church before, but the scene he was seeing now was still beyond his imagination, making him a bit dumbfounded for a moment.
Is the priest of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church the most "outstanding" group among all Intis people?
In an instant, Father Cali's data and the observation results of the past few days appeared in Lu Mian's mind:
This is a local from Port Pylos, possessing pure Seibalon blood, a native from the bottom of the South Continent. He started as a church servant, seized the opportunity to change his fate, and had been working diligently ever since, finally becoming the parish priest of Tizamo Town;
He longed to obtain a higher status, longed to get more recognition, especially the recognition of Northern Continent people...
"Did this kind of longing for a long time cause Father Cali's desires to appear distorted, quietly taking action against men from various Northern Continent countries, trying to conquer them and obtain the recognition he imagined?
"Luo Bote and these few people are clearly quite young. If Father Cali started doing this kind of thing a few years ago, they were all underage people whose minds hadn't truly matured. Tsk, you priests..." While Lu Mian analyzed the current situation, he thought of his sister Aurora again.
In Cordu Village, he had never liked entering the church, and the number of times he participated in mass and prayer was small. On one hand, Aurora herself didn't like it, setting an example. On the other hand, Aurora didn't know why she was always worried about Lu Mian, who was only twelve or thirteen at the beginning, being alone with the clergy in the church, and would educate Lu Mian from time to time with words like "boys also need to pay attention to protecting themselves" and "many priests like little boys."
After suppressing the sudden longing, Lu Mian looked at Father Cali, who was still preaching intently and becoming more excited as he preached, and felt that his analysis just now should be correct:
Preaching a long, sacred sermon before a male carnival party was clearly not something a normal person could think of and put into practice; this was abnormally absurd.
But combined with Father Cali's longing for Northern Continent gentlemen to recognize him, especially recognizing his identity as a priest of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church, all of this was not hard to understand!
"The only problem now is that it wronged the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' and wronged Saint Cien; They became important props for Father Cali's performance art..." Lu Mian just thought of this when Father Cali finally completed the "wonderful" sermon.
He opened his arms and shouted loudly:
"Praise the Sun!"
Luo Bote and other young men, who were as excited as him and as naked as him, knelt on the ground, followed by opening their arms, and sang in unison:
"Praise the Sun!
"Praise the Archbishop!"
The Sun doesn't want to be praised by you... Archbishop, hmm, this fits Father Cali's longing for a higher status. In this male carnival party, he let all participants regard him as an Archbishop and preached to them... Finally, it was passing the light of the gods and the grace of the gods to these people? Lu Mian seemed to be able to imagine the scene that would follow.
Father Cali turned his body with abnormal satisfaction and solemnly put the holy scripture back on the altar.
Then, he walked in front of Luo Bote, like an archbishop distributing grace to believers.
The remaining few men were entangled with each other.
Camus, Ruya, and Lu Jianuo, who were looking at the scene inside the church through another stained glass window, were also stunned.
Especially Ruya, although she had experienced many tragic things, the scene before her still gave her a feeling that her eyes, brain, and soul had been polluted.
After coming back to her senses, anger surged in Ruya's heart.
Beside her, Lu Mian thought of a detail, pressed his voice, and asked Amandina:
"When did Luo Bote become Father Cali's lover?"
Amandina withdrew her gaze that had been polluted, recalled, and said:
"More than a year after Father Cali arrived in Tizamo, it was probably more than three years ago."
Lu Mian frowned slightly:
"Did they become lovers in reality, or during the 'Dream Festival'?"
"Of course it's reality." Amandina answered without hesitation.
This is a bit wrong... Father Cali had been in Tizamo Town for more than a year, so he should have become gentle, restrained, and without excessive desires and emotions. Why could he still take action against young men like Luo Bote? It seems that Father Cali really has anomalies, and this anomaly should be linked to the source of the "Dream Festival," so he was the one who announced the start of the "Dream Festival"... Lu Mian just thought of this when he saw Father Cali, who was preaching naked, turn his body.
Suddenly, Lu Mian's eyes reflected this dark-brown-skinned, sunken-eyed, black-haired, hard-contoured native priest, and reflected his naked figure.
He then felt cold and chilling aura permeating his body, trying to freeze his spirit completely and replace it.
"Vengeful Spirit Possession"!
It turns out Father Cali possesses the ability to transform into a "Vengeful Spirit." No wonder when I scouted his weakness, I found it only existed in the depths of the flesh, in the spirit body... Hehe, a "Vengeful Spirit" preaching in the church of the "Eternal Blazing Sun," preaching under the illumination of the sun... Who could have thought that such a thing would happen? Father Cali's "Vengeful Spirit" ability certainly wasn't obtained by drinking a potion; that would have been discovered and purified... A gift? Lu Mian suddenly realized.
Relying on his own spirit body strength at Sequence 5, he struggled to compete with Father Cali for control of his body.
He didn't rush to stimulate the aura imprint of the "Blood Emperor," but looked at Amandina and said with difficulty, one word at a time:
"Dream entry, let, me, and, Cali..."
Lu Mian knew that Amandina's ability to forcibly pull people into dreams could only be one-on-one now, but Father Cali was currently possessing his body and entangled with his spirit body, perhaps they could be treated as a whole.
As for whether a "Vengeful Spirit" would have the behavior of dreaming, Lu Mian didn't know for the time being. Anyway, he had a backup plan.
With a "clatter," the stained glass window was hit by Ruya's arrow, cracking into many pieces and falling to the ground.
The arrow wrapped in silver-white electric light penetrated the position where Father Cali had just stood and nailed it to the wooden table where the candle holder was placed.
With a "crackle," the electric light jumped, and the long wooden table broke in the middle, collapsing to the ground with a bang. The small pieces of burning candles rolled toward the surroundings.
Luo Bote, who was clearly stunned because Father Cali suddenly left, reacted. He opened his mouth and chanted strange words in an ancient language.
Woo!
As if a cold wind from the far north of the Feysac Empire blew, a blurred, strange figure that didn't look like a human appeared out of thin air and drilled into Luo Bote's body.
A layer of ice armor condensed on Luo Bote's body, and a huge, sharp, crystal-clear frost giant sickle appeared in his hand.
Dragging this huge sickle, Luo Bote ran toward Ruya, Camus, and the others.
Wherever he passed, the ground frosted, and one after another ice edges appeared on the wall.
Buriu Hotel, fourth floor, in a room on the side leaning against the intersection.
After watching Lu Mian and the others pass by here and rush toward the street where Saint Cien Church was located, two figures walked out from behind the curtains of the window.
One was a man, with sharp contours, skin color like a Northern Continent native, and deep green eyes, wearing a dark gray formal suit and a black silk top hat. The other was a woman, with delicate features, deep blue eyes, wearing a light-colored dress convenient for movement, and a feather hat inlaid with pearls. They were clearly the couple who had checked into the Buriu Hotel late at night that Lu Mian had seen before.
They had arrived in Tizamo Town only a few dozen minutes before the "Dream Festival" officially began.
At this time, this man and woman had clear eyes and no excessive emotions or behaviors.
"The patrol team suddenly sending people to Tizamo Town really discovered the problem here." The woman, whose face was as exquisite as if carved, looked at the street outside the window and said in a deep voice, "Now it seems that they have also found a way to maintain clarity and rationality in this special dream."
The man had a cold expression and nodded lightly:
"But they don't know much yet, and the direction they are moving forward is wrong."
"Let's start acting too." The woman wearing the feather hat walked toward the door first.
The two of them walked down the stairs quickly, one after the other.
When passing the second floor, the lady wearing the light-colored dress suddenly stopped and tilted her ears:
"Do you hear any strange sounds?"
The man wearing the top hat listened carefully for a few seconds and heard a slight chewing sound coming from a room deep on the second floor.
This sound existed continuously, without interruption.
