"Lord Monroe, are you waiting for me?"

Li Xiang walked down the stairs and said with a smile to Monroe who was waiting there.

Monroe looked at Li Xiang in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"You can actually walk out by yourself?"

"My legs are on my body, so is it weird if I can walk by myself?" Li Xiang asked back.

Monroe didn't want to beat around the bush and responded directly:

"It's really strange. I thought you had to crawl out."

"It seems that the priest is very satisfied with you and wants to play with you slowly. This is your blessing."

Li Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want this blessing?"

Monroe was not angry when he saw this, but raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"No, I want to live a little longer."

"Heh, so you also know Lady Karina's methods. You even said something about giving me a chance to live, but you clearly want me to die!" Li Xiang pretended to be dissatisfied.

When Monroe heard Li Xiang's address to Karina, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Don't get excited. I admit that I concealed some information, but you can't deny that the priest is your only chance of survival, right?"

Li Xiang was suddenly speechless and didn't know how to refute.

Monroe struck while the iron was hot and said, "Without my recommendation, you would have died silently on Blood Prison Island like those ordinary people in the cargo hold."

"It's different now. You are at risk of being abused by the High Priest, but you also have a glimmer of hope."

"As long as you can hold on to Blood Prison Island, the High Priest will definitely not let you die easily. You will most likely become the final winner."

"As for whether you live or die, that depends on your own ability. In the end, I only promised to give you a chance to survive, but I can't guarantee that you can live forever."

"After all." Monroe looked at Li Xiang calmly: "Even I can't protect myself, otherwise I wouldn't place my hopes on you."

Li Xiang seemed to have listened to Monroe's explanation, and his frown gradually relaxed.

Without waiting for Li Xiang to reply, Monroe continued, "Luckily, both you and I made the right bet. The High Priest has a good impression of you."

"First, he punished the favored Cliff for you, then he let you into the captain's room and found you a new set of clothes."

"The High Priestess was even able to suppress her own desires and did not teach you right away. This shows how much she values ​​you."

"The male favorites didn't get this kind of treatment before, including Cliff. The idiot was almost crazy with jealousy. He stared at the captain's room while being tortured."

"Although you have the protection of the High Priest, you still have to be more cautious with him. Who knows if he will lose his mind and attack you directly."

Li Xiang looked at Monroe suspiciously and asked, "Oh? Logically, you should be happy to see Cliff attack me, right?"

"Then you can take the opportunity to overthrow Cliff and completely solve the problem, so why did you remind me?"

Monroe replied: "Because I don't want to take any risks. I don't know your position in the High Priest's heart yet."

"If you were not so important, even if Cliff killed you, the High Priest would not take his life, but would keep him to satisfy his own venting needs."

"Rather than losing you as a bargaining chip and taking an uncertain chance, it is better to keep you and continue to compete with Cliff for favor and wait for the right time."

Li Xiang nodded in understanding, and then said with interest: "I thought you were a gambler, but I didn't expect you to be so cautious."

Monroe explained calmly: "I have never liked gambling, but I had no choice but to gamble my life."

"Although I was lucky and bet right twice in a row, how can anyone win every time? If I bet wrong once, I would be dead."

"Now that my status has become higher, my courage has also become smaller. If there is any other way, I will not gamble again."

"So you don't have to worry about me hurting you. I won't cut off my own arm before I get rid of Cliff."

Li Xiang looked at Monroe's sincere expression, chuckled and asked, "What happens after we get rid of Cliff? Will we become new opponents?"

"No." Monroe said without hesitation: "You and I have no grudge, and I will not provoke the male favorite of the priest."

"Really?" Li Xiang smiled noncommittally, then extended his right hand to Monroe.

"I hope Lord Monroe can keep his word. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Since we are in a cooperative relationship, you don't need to call me sir. Our status is equal."

Monroe also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Li Xiang.

Both of them had smiles on their faces, but no one knew what they were thinking.

After Li Xiang let go of his hand, he said with a serious expression: "There is something I really need your help with right now."

Upon hearing this, Monroe immediately looked around, and then lowered his voice and asked:

"What's the matter? Do you want to know what the High Priest likes, or are you planning to plot against Cliff?"

"Neither." Li Xiang said seriously, "I'm a little hungry. Can you take me to find something to eat?"

Monroe: “.”

His mouth moved several times, and he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

The two had just reached a cooperation, and Monroe didn't want to swear, so he could only turn around and leave in frustration.

"Hey, don't go, I'm not kidding!" Li Xiang hurriedly chased after him.

"You also know Lady Karina's quirks. I must eat more and exercise more to improve my physical fitness, otherwise I won't be able to hold on for long."

Monroe paused, he felt that what Li Xiang said made sense.

Li Xiang's body is too thin, so he needs to take more supplements before Priest Kalina officially trains him.

So Monroe asked Li Xiang to stay where he was and not move, while he went to find something to eat.

After a while, Monroe came back with the package and asked Li Xiang for credit:

"It's not meal time yet, eat something first."

"The food I brought you is precious. I usually can't bear to eat it myself."

When Li Xiang heard this, he looked at the package in Monroe's hand with anticipation.

After gnawing on tree fruits for five days, I was finally able to eat food other than fruit.

However, when Monroe opened the package, Li Xiang's smile froze on his face.

The package was filled with fruit and no other food.

Li Xiang stared blankly at the various fruits on the trees, as if he saw them waving at him, and he shouted:

"We meet again~Come and eat me~"

Seeing Li Xiang's dull expression, Monroe thought he was overjoyed, and said with a reserved look:

"How is it, do you have an appetite?"

"Tree fruits are a rare food at sea. Normally, they are not available even if you want to eat them."

"I specially left these fruits for you to enjoy as a snack, but now they are all yours." "Although they are not very fresh and some are rotten, the taste is not affected. Come and have a try!"

Li Xiang looked at the fruit handed to him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"I say, is there a possibility that there is no shortage of fruit on the deserted island?"

"You can't eat the berries on the ship, but I've been eating the berries on the island for five days!"

"To be honest, I feel like vomiting when I see the fruit now~"

Seeing Li Xiang retching repeatedly, Monroe touched his nose awkwardly:

"Sorry, I forgot about this. Please wait a moment, I'll get you some other food. How about apple pie?"

"Ugh~"

"."

Finally, Monroe found some bread.

Li Xiang sternly refused the jam that was to be eaten with the bread, and ate the dry bread with great enjoyment, tears in his eyes.

After Li Xiang had eaten and drunk his fill, Monroe took him around the boat and asked other members to recognize people to prevent Li Xiang from getting hurt.

After learning that Li Xiang had entered Priest Kalina's room and changed his clothes inside, the members on the ship were extremely flattering to Li Xiang.

They just have mental and psychological problems, but they are not stupid. They naturally understand that Li Xiang will soon replace Cliff and become the new male favorite of Priest Kalina.

Although Li Xiang looked weak and might not be able to hold on for long, he still had to lick what he had to lick.

So, amidst the flattery of everyone, Li Xiang gained a deep understanding of the situation of the Shadow Church.

For example, the positions and status in the Shadow Church are divided into peripheral members (commonly known as cannon fodder), ordinary members, secret guards (captain level), deacons and priests, protectors, deputy leaders, and the most mysterious leader.

Deacons and priests have equal status, but different responsibilities. Deacons are responsible for completing the church's tasks, while priests are responsible for holding ceremonies and recruiting members.

Compared to deacons, priests have less power and fewer numbers. Each guardian has only one or two priests under his command.

Karina is the priest under the command of Guardian Ram, and Cliff is the secret guard promoted by Karina.

Since the Blood Hell Trial is also about recruiting members, it is usually left to the priests to be responsible for.

It sounds like priests are civilian staff, but the fighting ability of priests is no less than that of deacons. The two just have different division of labor.

In addition to the division of powers in the Shadow Church, Li Xiang also found out a lot of information and learned that the Shadow Church was searching for the three sacred birds.

Moreover, there are clues about the capture of Zapdos and Articuno, and people have already started to send people to capture them. However, there is still no news about Moltres in the southeast region, which makes Guardian Ram very embarrassed.

Therefore, they must conduct this Blood Prison Trial well, otherwise no one will suffer any consequences.

Time passed quickly as Li Xiang was trying to find out the news. Until it was time for him to log off, he didn't see Cliff and Karina.

The former is licking his wounds quietly, so why is the latter staying in the captain's room and not coming out?

Li Xiang had no idea for a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it and logged off in the room arranged by Monroe.

Monroe saw that Li Xiang fell asleep instantly as soon as he lay down, and couldn't help but sigh that this guy was really careless and didn't worry about Cliff's revenge at all.

There was no choice, Monroe had to guard Li Xiang's door, because Li Xiang was his only bargaining chip.

Just when Monroe called the Night Salamander and was about to let it keep watch with him, he suddenly found that the Night Salamander looked very excited, with its eyes staring straight upwards.

Monroe followed the gaze of the Night Thief Salamander, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

I saw the Flame Queen Lizard lying lazily on the stairs, and a few Night Salamander Lizards were lying on the surrounding masts.

The Night Thief Salamander's eyes were fixed on the Flame Queen Lizard, waiting for her orders, while the Flame Queen Lizard glanced at the room behind him from time to time.

Obviously, the Flame Queen Lizard received orders from Priest Kalina to come and protect Li Xiang.

Thinking of this, Monroe was shocked at how favored Li Xiang was, but he was also very happy.

"Cliff, your death is coming soon."

Monroe muttered to himself, then happily waved the night-thief Salamander away.

With the Flame Queen Lizard guarding here, Cliff would not dare to attack Li Xiang even if he had ten times the courage.

"Let's go, Night Thief Salamander."

"Yahoo!"

"Why are you shaking your head? You don't need to be on guard here!"

"Yahoo!"()
"The Flame Queen Lizard doesn't need you to protect her!"

"Yahoo!"

"Tsk, whatever you want. To use Xianyu's words, you are a hopeless licker."

At the same time, Li Xiang had already reported all the situations in the game to the analysis team, and then ran to the cafeteria to have breakfast without any worries.

When he finished breakfast and returned to his own lounge, he found the psychology expert sitting on the sofa, flipping through a book.

As an elite in the security department, Li Xiang subconsciously turned on the automatic aiming, and his eyes swept across the other person's long legs in black stockings.

Hiss~ These legs are longer than his life!
"If you want to see it, just look at it. There's no need to hide it. I wear black stockings just for you to see. If you don't look at it, then I'm wearing it for nothing."

A gentle and pleasant voice came, making Li Xiang's face turn red with shame, and a little guilt arose in his heart.

He was about to open his mouth to apologize, but the female expert spoke first:
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not being sarcastic. You've been trapped on a deserted island for days on end, so you're bound to feel bored to some extent."

"Although your psychological test results are healthy, you still need to take preventive measures to relieve your stress."

"For normal men, the easiest way to relieve stress is to look at beautiful women. Unfortunately, my appearance does not meet the standards of beautiful women, so I can only use some tricks. I hope you don't mind."

Li Xiang waved his hands repeatedly: "No problem, no problem. Actually, Dr. Hu, you are very beautiful. You are prettier than those internet celebrities and stars!"

Dr. Hu chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. Do I still need to wear black stockings in the future?"

"This..." Li Xiang stammered, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Okay, sit down, we should talk about business."

Dr. Hu gestured to Li Xiang to sit down. If you didn’t know, you would think this lounge was hers.

Li Xiang naturally failed to realize that Dr. Hu had taken the initiative in the conversation with just a few words.

He sat down obediently on the sofa opposite and asked tentatively:

"Has the analysis team come to a conclusion so quickly?"

Dr. Hu nodded slightly. "Yes, I'm sure you have some guesses. After all, this NPC named Karina didn't hide her thoughts very well."

"Do I really look like her old friend?" Li Xiang asked in surprise.

"To be precise." Dr. Hu folded his legs elegantly into an arc and said in an inexplicable tone.

"It is the white moonlight that she will never get." (End of this chapter)
