After going to the shop that Blake used to go to before, Mo Tan and Yu Chen, who went for a walk back to the inner city of the City of Light, stopped in the square in front of the Shuguang Chapel, feeling that although the latter It's commonplace, but in the eyes of Mo Tan, whose personality is 'absolutely neutral' at this moment, there is precious peace.

Thinking about it carefully, not to mention that under the other two personalities, he has never been able to relax for even a single minute, even now Mo Tan, who was once called a salted fish state by friend A in the past, after being innocent in the pit I haven't been able to get any vacation that is lazy enough, leisurely enough, and doing nothing enough.

In what he said when he complained to Idong, at least in the eyes of Mo Tan, who has an 'absolutely neutral' personality, he doesn't feel that he is playing a spiritual virtual game called the world of innocence, but he is always Being played by this thing.

Of course, even though he was being 'played', to some extent he enjoyed it, and he never got tired of it.

But in the final analysis, at this moment, Mo Tan still prefers a leisurely pace of life, rather than being driven around by the wheel of fate in a mess.

But if the above car was carrying Yu Chen, it would be a different matter.

Although he was still a little reluctant, Mo Tan did not firmly express his refusal. Although he knew that increasing the time spent with Yu Chen was definitely not a correct thing in itself, but it was far from being a will. He was determined, but he still couldn't completely resist the temptation...

Well, strictly speaking, it's not a temptation. After all, the top leaders of the Dawn Sect headed by Saintess Xia Lian are very firm, so Mo Tan, who was not firm enough, half-pushed and half-heartedly borrowed the donkey. Simply put, he was lying to himself.

Ah, actually I don't want to go, I understand why, I know it's a bad mistake in the long run, it's just that those people are too tough, I can't refuse.

like this ↑

This kind of thing can basically be said to be the basic operation of most advanced intelligent creatures, that is, the so-called self-comfort, to shift the responsibility to those messy force majeure, in fact, in the final analysis, it is to find reasons and excuses for the actions that are inclined in the bottom of my heart. .

Perhaps this kind of behavior is somewhat irresponsible, but it is not shameful, after all, it is something that everyone will do.

Since everyone can do it, there is no reason why Mo Tan is not allowed to do it.

With such a conclusion, even if his personality is lawful and neutral, and his will is as firm as steel, he can only shake his head and smile wryly when he thinks of this matter.

It can't be said that what kind of mud can't support the wall, after all, for him as a 'Black Brahman', to achieve the psychological quality of his other two personalities is simply nonsense and a nonsense joke.

As a 'Black Brahman', there is nothing bad about Mo Tan, it's just that against the background of his other two non-mainstream personalities... he seems almost meaningless in every way.

He himself knew this, and because of this, Mo Tan felt that he could do nothing when he was in danger with Ned and others at first, although he was pushed to the limit after all, he still managed to do something, sometimes Today, he has even been able to rub against the cultists on Sumir's side, but his psychological quality is still as bad as hell.

So Mo Tan simply gave up thinking...

Just like what that so-and-so said to so-and-so, just wait for the boat to reach the bridge head naturally, as for whether it sinks or straight, let's talk about it when the time comes.

It is precisely because Mo Tan, who has low resistance to stress and endurance, is not forced to have a stomach perforation because he will give up thinking like this whenever he thinks of those unsolvable futures.

That's it, that's fine...

Bathed in the warm sunshine, Mo Tan, who completely emptied himself, narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying this false peace and comfort.

"Hey~"

After following him in a daze for a while, Yuchen tugged Mo Tan's sleeve lightly, blinked her clear and innocent eyes that would make the latter unable to stop staring at him at any time, and asked curiously: "Where are you?" What are you thinking?"

Mo Tan was taken aback for a moment, then shrugged, and said with a smile: "I was thinking that this world is really wonderful, but I didn't expect that Luna, who has been an 'apprentice' alchemist until now, was recommended, and she was even better than me. We both need to be early."

[In this way, Academy City has more and more acquaintances, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. 】

Another thought crossed his mind, but Mo Tan didn't say it.

"I don't think there's any problem. After all, it's impossible for Luna to be at the level of an 'apprentice', just like us medical students. Whether you can pass the technical exam is one thing, and your own personal level is another. code thing~"

Yu Chen chuckled, and then stuck out his tongue: "It's just an example! There are very few people who are unappreciated and vegetarians, and I just got what my mother said, so I can't count it~"

"makes sense."

Mo Tan smiled, and said positively: "Gold will always shine. Anyway, I think it is no problem for a young and potential alchemist like Luna to go to Academy City. Your Excellency the president Still very discerning."

Yu Chen nodded, covered his mouth with a light smile and said, "It's just that Luna didn't seem to be interested at first, um, yes, I don't think she's the kind of person who likes to be lively."

Mo Tan made a grimace: "I'm not either..."

Yu Chen wrinkled his nose, pretended to be angry and said: "Hmm, isn't that right, it's really wronged for you to let Commander Heifan condescend to accompany me on a business trip."

"It's good to know."

Mo Tan, who didn't think about bad things, also made a joke, and said with a smile: "So you have to behave well, give full play to your subjective initiative, serve tea and water for Your Excellency Commander, and fold the quilt for laundry~"

"Less smelly shameless!"

A crisp and pleasant voice came from not far away accompanied by a rather sturdy temperament. Xia Lian, the first saint of the Dawn Sect, and the high-ranking paladin Yizuo Gelette walked around from the other side of the fountain. He came out, and then the former rushed to Mo Tan in a stride, and poked the latter hard on the forehead: "Serve tea! Pour water! Laundry and quilt! Why don't you ask Wang Yu to warm your bed! ?”

Mo Tan: "..."

Yizuo shrank his neck and murmured in a low voice: "Well, I can do... serve tea, pour water, wash clothes, make quilts, etc., but... But warming the bed is just..."

Yu Chen: "..."

"Girl, please pay attention to my old lady!"

Xia Lian turned around on the spot and started to poke the half-dragon female knight's forehead, and said in a loud voice, "Do you know how cute a good-looking girl like yourself is? What should I do if Yiheifan can't hold it anymore? Forget the words and make it bigger and you make it smaller!"

Rao Yizuo's physique of a high-level paladin was also stumbled by Xia Lian's slender hand, which was comparable to a powerful vajra finger, and she nodded in a panic: "Okay...Okay! I must pay attention!"

"Sister Xia Lian! Don't talk nonsense... ah!!"

Yu Chen, who really couldn't see it, blushed and started to grab Xia Lian, but the latter grabbed Xia Lian by the collar, lifted her in mid-air like a cat, and dangled pitifully in Xia Lian's hands.

"And you~"

Xia Lian played Yu Chen's crisp brain, and said viciously: "I woke up early today, but I only found out after asking that you took Hei Fan away at seven o'clock. Damn it, I thought You eloped away!"

Yu Chen stuck out his tongue, and while shaking it in Xia Lian's hand, he said obediently: "We just went for a walk, and we went to see Luna by the way, after all, we didn't have a good gathering the day Hei Fan came back. I just wanted to have a good chat with her before leaving."

"Phew, that's fine. Anyway, it's better not to elope. In my life, I hate leaving someone else without saying hello."

Xia Lian curled her lips, let go of Yu Chen, and asked, "And then? What did that girl who can't beat a fart with three sticks talk to you?"

Yu Chen shook his head: "It's nothing to talk about, because Luna is also going to Academy City on behalf of the Alchemist Association, so she was dragged by the president of Flondale to go through the formalities without saying a few words."

Xia Lian was taken aback: "Huh?"

"It means literally. It is said that the president of the Alchemist Association has always wanted Luna to go, but the person concerned is not very willing. This time, I changed my mind when I heard that Yuchen and I were going too."

Mo Tan glanced at the saintly highness who was speaking heavily in front of him, shrugged and said: "According to the president's words, Luna will trigger in about three days, take a boat to go to Academy City by waterway, and then We didn't stay any longer, anyway, we can meet again after a while."

"Okay, little girl Luna is quite promising."

Xia Lian nodded, yawned uninterestedly, and asked the two of them, "Have you packed your things? You are people from another world, so you don't need to bring big and small bags?"

Yu Chen nodded vigorously, and patted his own pocket that was connected to the luggage: "Yeah, it's all in the luggage."

"Then let's go. Although there is still a little time, if you go out sooner or later, I will send you to the empty alley first."

Xia Lian, who was not on the schedule, stretched her waist, then hugged Yu Chen's thin shoulders, and strode towards a certain Motan that she couldn't tell which direction it was.

Mo Tan also took Yizuo's large backpack and stuffed it into a bag that most NPCs would recognize as space storage items, and chased after him together.

……

Outer City of Light City, Empty Alley, Airship Terrace

"This place should be your first time~"

Xia Lian, who simply greeted the two priests at the entrance and led the three of them into the empty alley, smiled, and pointed to the huge open space not far away, and the whole body of the ship parked in the center of the open space. Pure white, with a total of nine holy emblems printed on both sides, and a shuttle-shaped mechanical creation that looks like a date pit, said with a smile: "This is the empty alley of our Holy Church Union. Although the scale is not very large, the environment and greening make a difference." It’s pretty good, as for the things parked over there..."

She paused for two seconds, as if she wanted to show off, but the curiosity of Mo Tan and Yu Chen seemed to be limited. Although they were indeed looking at the pure white shuttle-shaped creature with great interest, they didn't care about it at all. To question her.

As for Yizuo, she is an old senior. Although she didn't have the opportunity to sit on this thing before, she has sufficient theoretical knowledge, not much less than Xia Lian.

"Hey, this thing is the airship of our Holy Cult United. It's called...fucking [United Airship]. It's a very uncreative name."

Xia Lian smacked her lips, and continued to introduce: "There are three ships in total, but only one is permanently stationed in the City of Light, and they are all with the skeletal structure of the dwarf pan-commercial circle and the latest acceleration technology of explosive cylinder aviation. Although the styles and shapes are different, there are many big forces. Whether it is speed, stability, comfort and safety, they are better than those standard models on the market. Well, that’s all. In fact, there is nothing special about this thing. The advantage is that it is very popular and easy to install.”

Mo Tan/Yu Chen: "..."

"What's wrong? It's very important to pretend! Don't look down on face-saving projects."

Xia Lian raised her eyebrows, spread her hands and said, "Don't forget that we are a union of holy religions, an organization with a lot of religions stacked together. If we don't pay attention to our image, how can we make others believe in religion? How can we make others convert to our goddess?" ?”

Mo Tan helplessly covered his face and shook his head, and said dryly: "It's not that we look down on face-saving projects, but we just think that what you said is too direct, it hurts your teeth."

"Speaking rough and rationale is not rough, it's so boring to make so much nonsense by yourself."

Xia Lian waved her hands carelessly, and continued: "Anyway, this is the means of transportation for you to go to and from Academy City this time. If there are no accidents, you should arrive in a day and a half at most, um, if there are no accidents."

Yizuo blinked curiously: "Your Highness, didn't you say that the safety and stability of this empty airship are very high? What else could happen?"

"for example."

Xia Lian snapped her fingers and said seriously: "For example... the captain saw Old Tom's face, then I reckoned that the ship would sink and crash directly, that's all right."

Mo Tan/Yu Chen/Yi Zuo: "..."

"How much do you like discussing about my appearance?"

A figure in a white linen robe, a heavy hood and a white bandage on his face quietly emerged from the morning light, and appeared in front of Xia Lian: "Although I don't really mind it."

Undoubtedly, the person who came was the old Tom who had been familiar with Mo Tan some time ago, but this time it was the version that blocked his face.

"I thought I'd be the first to arrive."

"Tsk, I thought so too. It must be that Ha Fan and the others came too early."

At the same time, two other familiar voices sounded from the entrance not far behind them.

The Holy Son of the Sun Sect - Day Black.

The Holy Maiden of the Fortune Sect—Fairy Graham.

The two also went to the Academy City Exchange Meeting in the name of the Holy Church Union and walked into the airship ground together.

At this point, the Holy Church United representative team (?) officially set off for Academy City——

Only one hour and five minutes left.
