Chu Yan followed the trend and continued to work hard, eating while working until he fell asleep due to fatigue. He also had breakfast when he woke up...

He didn't know how to respond now, so he could only use some warm words:

"Did you have a good rest?"

Xia Nuoya heard that he was going out, and said seriously for the moment:

"Don't you want to take a break? We made no progress in our search for the Witch of Sorrow last night. What are you going to do with Isis now?"

"Let's talk face to face and tactfully admit that I have a way to suppress the loss of control, and see how Commander Deroya is willing to offer his chips."

Shanuoya heard his decisive attitude and stopped trying to stop him. Instead of saying things like "don't take risks on your own", it would be more important to offer more advice.

"Your Aunt Nancy seems to be friends with Commander Deloya. Try asking her."

"I have the same idea! Weilin kept Aunt Nancy with me so that I could use her. How can I let her be lazy and take care of her health? I am the one who should be lazy!"

Chu Yan's tone was arrogant, but in actual action, he was only a giant in slogans and could not completely ignore Aunt Nancy's feelings.

Chu Yan left the room and let Xia Nuoya rest quietly in the bedroom while saving milk for his lunch.

He first went quickly to the bathroom, took a bath to refresh himself, and then moved to Aunt Nancy's room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the lazy woman with long dark red hair still lying in bed.

Aunt Nancy was awake, but she just sat in bed, staring at the ceiling.

The dragon-born youth, relying on his junior status, pounced on the bed, causing the mattress to bounce so hard that my aunt's body shook.

"Can you dry your hair before you come up here?"

The woman scolded him angrily, sat up and used a pillowcase to rub Chu Yan's hair.

The process of rubbing Chu Yan's hair was somewhat mixed with personal grudges. He wanted to rub Chu Yan's hair until it was bald, so he rubbed it quite hard.

"Uninvited guest, what do you want to do with me? It must not be a good thing, right?"

"That's too much. How can you describe me as an 'uninvited guest'? Can't it be a junior paying respects to an elder?"

As soon as Chu Yan finished speaking, his cheek was pinched. Aunt Nancy gave him a chance to speak seriously again.

"......Aunt Nancy, what's the problem between you and Commander Deloya?"

"Then let me ask you first, is this out of your curiosity, or is it related to getting the crystal skull back? If it's the latter, I won't help you."

Auntie, you've blocked my conversation, so I can only say I'm curious...

Chu Yan rested his head on the woman's thighs and said, "Curiosity!"

"Why are you so curious, kid? Go take a rest!"

After saying this with disgust, Nancy had just finished rubbing his hair. She threw the pillowcase on Chu Yan's face and lay back in her own bed.

Chu Yan was not annoyed. He turned over and crawled into his aunt's bed, resting his face on her beautiful armpit again, and said:

"Can't you reveal some gossip? I've seen you guys chatting a few times, and I always feel like there's something going on between you two!"

He would not state his decision clearly, for fear that his aunt would lose face and talk to Commander Deloya about his affairs.

Unless you have done someone a great favor in the past, using connections to ask others to do things for you is essentially owing them a favor.

When relationships are not good, you still have to ask others for help, and no one is willing to be treated with such disapproval unless they are desperate.

"Go, go, go somewhere else and don't disturb my rest."

Nancy raised and lowered her arms, clamping Chu Yan's face under her armpits. After a while, she let go and let him go.

Chu Yan symbolically pestered her for a while, but to no avail, and then he left the room in shame.

After some preparation, he went to the chapel alone to find Commander Deloya.

*

Small church in the city.

After the incident with the necromancer, there were slightly more people in the chapel these days.

A small number of them came to ask the nuns for calming blessings, because those whose souls were truly frightened by the necromancy had already come to ask for blessings and go back to recuperate.

Most of them are adventurers who come here to see if there are any commissions they can help with, such as to increase their favorability so that they can learn skills such as combat techniques in the future. They can also buy some sophisticated equipment and weapons from the church.

Of course, there won’t be any system of favorability levels, it’s just based on whether you’re familiar with the face.

The clergy might relax restrictions and make occasional concessions depending on who they like, but for those who often fight and cause trouble, no matter how attentive they are, it will be of no avail.

Whether the church will accept your offer of courtesy is a question.

If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will.

"There are too many people here. Let's go in later. Otherwise, if we go in through the back door in front of so many people, we will easily attract attention..."

Chu Yan sat down in the fountain square outside the chapel.

Chu Yan was in a good mood after seeing the white pigeon poop on the child's head.

Theresa came over and sat beside him, her long hair hidden in the nun's hat, with a few strands of light golden hair floating out, looking noble and elegant.

"Chu Yan, are you here in the chapel for the crystal skull?"

"Well, there is one thing I want to tell you.

372

Sister Theresa, please discuss this with me. I wonder if you think it is appropriate."

Therese was a person who belonged to Sister Josephine and could be trusted. One could tell her plans and ideas without worrying about them being leaked.

She can also examine Chu Yan's plan from her perspective as a senior member of the church.

Theresa, who came with the intention of chatting, became serious after hearing Chu Yan's plan.

"Are you planning to have a semi-showdown with Commander Deloya... Your analysis is not without reason. There is no news of the 'door' being found in the Tower of Babel. It is only a matter of time before your secret is exposed.

But I can’t directly say how easy it is to suppress my ability to lose control. It’s better to describe it as having restrictions on personnel and effects, similar to a miracle array.”

You can reveal your cards early, but you can't be left with nothing to do after you reveal your cards.

Either you have a backup plan or you only share part of it.

Chu Yan nodded: "That makes sense."

If it was his ability as he described it, there was a limit on the number of people who could use it. After so many of the forbidden ones had taken up the space, there were only one or two "beds" left.

If the Sanctuary of Discipline wants him to help with home injections, they will also consider candidates.

It may even be reserved for high-ranking officials such as the Pope of Discipline and the Commander.

Invisibly, it is also creating opportunities to contact the Pope of Discipline.

After all, if you want to recognize your mother, you have to meet her first!

This is a step of retreat in order to advance. It seems like a showdown and compromise in advance, but in fact it is a move towards the "queen" on the opponent's chessboard!

But we can't be so optimistic, because Chu Yan has already taken off his coat in a shy manner, so we have to be careful that the church will not follow martial ethics and directly pull down his pants.

If the church uses some means in the future to confirm the authenticity of his ability, the consequences will be quite troublesome.

In short, since you have chosen this option, you have to bear the hidden dangers that come with it.

It all depends on whether Chu Yan can earn enough profit from this risk to strengthen himself before his pants are stripped off.

Theresa confirmed, "If you claim that 'the number of places is limited' and it's best to limit it to 'two', then this news will most likely only stay in the Sanctuary of Discipline and will not spread to the church."

This is understandable, as everyone wants to protect their own trusted followers.

"Sister Theresa, what you mean by this is that there has also been a situation of loss of control inside the Sanctuary of Discipline?"

"..."

Theresa didn't respond, but just touched her lips with her finger.

Not even a nod or shake of the head.

It is estimated that there are restrictions such as oath magic, requiring those who know the matter to keep it confidential. Any leakage of information through words, writing, actions, etc. will trigger the oath magic.

However, the fact that everything needs to be kept secret means that something out of control has occurred, and the impact of the incident is even huge!

Seeing that he did not continue to ask about this matter, the nun sister said:

"Just understand it. Remember not to ask casually, let alone mention it in front of De Luoya."

While Chu Yan was talking to her, a bolder idea came to his mind, and he couldn't wait to say:

"I suddenly had an idea. If I say... my ability was gained from the miracle array, can it increase my voice in the church?"

The core foundation of the church system is the belief in God.

In addition to their strength, the church's top brass also exist as "God's agents on earth."

It is impossible for God to really jump out now, and to say that the Pope was chosen by Him personally has basically become a clerical bureaucratic game within the church.

However, if a person suddenly appears and claims to have been blessed by God himself and is related to God, then his status will be incomparable!

On the one hand, it explains the legitimate source of his ability, and on the other hand, it elevates his voice in the church.

Kings, princes, generals, and ministers... No, are the Pope and bishops also of different species?

Theresa was frightened by the courage of her dragon brother. She did not just say some alarmist words, but said practically:

"If you really want to embellish your abilities like this, you must first release a sacred technique that has a miraculous aura, otherwise it will be empty talk."

"That's true..." Chu Yan calmed down a little.

As expected, there are still many areas that need to be improved upon for this sudden inspiration.

There is also a loss of control within the church, so does it have to take the clergy's passage and enter the nightmare space again?

Unfortunately, there is now a one-month "cooling-off period". If you rashly enter, you will be arrested by the Cursed Witch as soon as you enter.

Chapter 3: Negotiation is addictive. (k)

Chu Yan wanted to say that his ability to "heal" out-of-control came from the miracle array, but he couldn't expect others to believe whatever he said.

At the very least, one must be able to release high-level sacred arts under the church system without any warning and at the same time have a bit of the aura of a miracle array without any previous learning experience.

The church had stolen a lot of power from miracle arrays in the past, so they were familiar with that kind of aura and it was difficult to deceive them.

Chu Yan and Theresa had almost confirmed the plan, with no obvious omissions. Just as the number of people in front of the chapel decreased, he stood up and went in to find Commander Deloya.

In the chapel room,

The dignified black-haired lady sat on the chair, exactly the same as the last time they met.

Chu Yan was still wondering if she had always maintained this posture.

"You're here again, Lord Chu Yan. Didn't you bring Nancy with you this time?"

Deroya's tone was calm and

373

He did not make any mockery or ridicule, but just waited quietly for Chu Yan to play some tricks.

"My aunt is still sleeping in at home and refuses to get up to walk with me, so I have to come here by myself."

"It seems that her determination to maintain her health is very firm and difficult to shake."

Chu Yan got straight to the point: "Commander De Luoya, are you willing to negotiate? Regarding the crystal skull."

If any outsider stood in front of the Sanctuary of Discipline and talked about wanting to take back a dangerous forbidden object, he would be in trouble and would get himself into trouble.

The Sanctuary of Discipline will severely punish any matter related to forbidden power and will not tolerate any leniency.

"You are the first person to bring up this kind of thing since I took office. I can even order the arrest of anyone who makes such a request for negotiations."

"It's a bit arrogant to say that, but I should be considered an exception because I'm running around the streets with a group of taboo people."

Chu Yan said this with an embarrassed smile, but the curve of his mouth flashed away and his expression returned to being serious.

Commander De Luoya's beautiful face showed no emotion, just like a quiet lake, calmly reflecting Chu Yan, without too many emotional waves. She said:

"You have negotiated with the church twice, and now you are negotiating with the Sanctuary of Discipline... If you want to take back this crystal skull, what bargaining chips can you offer? What use will it have after you take it back?"

Chu Yan looked at the female commander and said, "I can find a way to suppress Aixisi's loss of control."
