Welcome to the alien city

Just after dawn the next day, there was a knock on the door.

The two people sleeping in their clothes looked at each other, and Lucy pretended to be dissatisfied and went to open the door: "Is Mr. Will okay so early?"

The tall middle-aged man standing outside the door glanced into the room, smiled and showed his jagged yellow teeth: "I'm here to deliver breakfast, and I want you two to go to a place with me."

Lucy frowned secretly.

These people are so blatant. Are they sure they will go?

While she was thinking, the door to the room opposite opened with a creak, and a middle-aged woman holding a little girl came out, looking at Will with a look on her face.

"Lord Will, can we go see the Mother Goddess today?"

Will's attitude was very arrogant, but because he was in front of Lucy, he stiffly restrained his expression: "Yes, Mrs. Joel, you will go with these two ladies after breakfast."

Mrs. Joel then looked at Lucy opposite and gave them a tacit smile.

She said nothing more, but seemed to swallow subtly when she saw the dinner plate in Lucy's hand.

Will seemed to want to convince the attendant again, the sound of footsteps came from the room, and Gu Li, who drank the Virgin's sacrifice yesterday, came out with lingering weariness on his face.

The corners of Will's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and he repeated what he had just said to Lucy, and finally said: "The Mother Goddess pities every believer."

The corners of Gu Li's eyes twitched. This rough and unkempt look had to look pious and yearning.

It hurts the eyes.

She pretended not to notice anything unusual about Will, and he agreed very simply: "Okay."

Under Lucy's worried eyes, Gu Li finished the red sauce pasta for two without changing her expression, and handed her the dry bread that she thought had no seasoning.

"This thing is still no match for the pollution He Shiyi left me. I will be fine. Just to be on the safe side, Lucy, you should eat these first."

Lucy seemed to want to say something, but finally took the bread with a wry smile.

She is so much older than Gu Li, and as a result, not only did she come here, but she was always protected behind her.

What a shame.

The door was knocked again soon. Gu Li curled his lips and said hello to Mrs. Joel. Will walked in front and several others left the tavern.

Gu Li glanced at the empty bar.

The street where the Red Rose Tavern is located is very close to the outside of the city. Several people are walking through the alleys. Will's tall figure is like a hill blocking the front, making it difficult for people to see the road clearly.

This walk lasted for more than ten minutes. Mrs. Youle, who was holding the child in her arms, had sweat on her forehead. She could only keep up with her breathlessness through gritted teeth.

Gu Li met Lucy's eyes and nodded.

Lucy stepped forward and took the child over gently but forcefully. Mrs. Joel's numb eyes moved, and she comforted: "It's just a little effort to walk with you. Madam, please be careful where you step."

The two of them continued to move forward, but Mrs. Joel stayed in place, and it took a long time before she hurriedly followed.

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's chirp: "Thank you."

Hearing this, Gu Li took another look at the little girl held in Lucy's arms.

The streets similar to those in the outer city were like a maze. They walked in it for unknown lengths of time. The scenery ahead suddenly became clear, and a square suddenly placed in a small building appeared in front of everyone.

The square was luxuriously made, and the ground was actually inlaid with countless gems. The surrounding Roman columns looked shiny and warm, and Gu Li guessed that they were all jade carvings.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge statue in the center of the square. It is a woman blindfolded by black cloth, wearing a white robe, with the corners of the robe gently raised back. At her feet was a white eagle with spread wings, and on her huge palm she held a dark brown honeycomb, surrounded by countless scarlet bees.

Gu Li narrowed his eyes.

White Eagle and Red Bee?

Then this statue is probably the evil god named Nicholas.

Gu Li raised his head to see more clearly, but his sight was blocked by a black shadow, and Will's face full of flesh occupied his sight.

"You are so lucky. It happens to be the birthday of the Mother Goddess, and there is a ceremony to be held today."

"Okay, come with me."

Gu Li withdrew his gaze and followed Will into a villa behind the square. It was unexpectedly packed with people.

When Gu Li and the other five people entered, everyone looked over. They were all hidden under their black robes, but their eyes seemed to have substance.

Mrs. Joel finally came out of that sleepwalking mood, her face turned pale when facing these people, and she moved behind Lucy.

The next moment, her arm was held by an iron-like hand, and she was pulled towards the back of the house.

Will nodded towards the man, then looked at the struggling Mrs. Joel: "Please rest assured, Madam, the Mother Goddess will bless you."

Mrs. Joel's struggling movements paused, her expression returned to numb calm, and she repeated piously: "...the mother goddess will protect me..."

Lucy stood behind Gu Li with an expressionless face, blocking the view from behind.

Under Will's meaningful gaze, Gu Li suddenly said dissatisfiedly: "Is she going to pray to the Mother Goddess? Why don't I go first!?"

There was a drunken blush on her pale face, and she looked at the statue outside the window.

"That's just a civilian, but I..."

Before she finished speaking, Lucy behind her reminded her in a low voice: "Miss."

Gu Li pretended to suddenly come to his senses, but still looked at Will expectantly.

The number of gazes falling on her gradually decreased, and Will's eyes looking at her became more relaxed, with a mocking look as expected.

Gu Li moved his ears and vaguely heard a man in black robe whisper: "He is just a down-and-out nobleman, and he still dares to put on airs when he gets here."

Another person chuckled and replied: "All aristocratic ladies are like this, don't you think it's cute? Of course, if she can be more obedient and donate more property, I will like her more."

The man in black robes clicked his tongue disdainfully upon hearing this: "You are really a scumbag, Henry."

The other person's voice paused and seemed a little unhappy: "To each other, and don't call my name here, Cedric."

Gu Li walked past the two of them expressionlessly, and the hem of her skirt that floated slightly as she moved brushed the corner of Henry's robe, and a paper ball was stuffed into the palm of her hand.

She glanced at the paper ball while arranging her hair and stuffed it into her bun.

Today, in order to maintain her persona of an aristocratic lady who left home, Gu Li changed into a more expensive black dress. It was also designed to be as long as the upper, but it started to bulge slightly from the waist.

It not only made her waist slimmer, but also perfectly blocked the weapons hidden under her skirt. Her light blond hair was neatly pulled back and fixed with red silk, revealing her slender neck and attracting several obscure glances.

Henry looked at her elegant back gradually moving away with a subtle expression. Only he knew that those slender white wrists could directly twist off the heads of these people.
