"Half a month, a month is too long." A bishop softened his tone and sought a compromise solution.
To be optimistic, the crisis caused by the landing of monsters may have a buffer time of less than two years. However, adventurers work for several months and rest for one month. Roughly speaking, there may be a shutdown period of nearly half a year.
This time a considerable amount of exploration progress was lost.
For a whole month, the adventurers rested comfortably, but the bishops had no good sleep at all.
De Luoya shook his head and explained calmly:
"The Dragonborn Lord has formulated a one-month rest plan for the adventurers. This is not up to me. I also cannot change the decision of the Adventurer's Guild. This is up to the Meduso family."
"..."
Everyone was silent, and Deluya continued:
"That's the situation. If the bishops are anxious, they can try to send their own private army guards into the Tower of Babel to explore the map and maintain their own progress."
Deloya had finished what she needed to explain. Arguing any further would only be a waste of time and energy, so she sat down and stopped talking.
The round table hall was in complete silence, and it took a long time before sporadic conversations could be heard again.
"Last time, we mentioned this Dragonborn Lord together. We negotiated to have him deal with the 'Gatekeeper'. As a result, after such a long time, he has not made any progress in his original mission. Instead, he regards himself as the lord of the Babel City District. It's absurd..."
"His mission has not made any progress, isn't it because the whereabouts of the 'Gate' is still a mystery?" A bishop retorted, sounding like he was speaking for Chu Yan, but in fact he just couldn't stand the other bishop.
The top leaders of the church may not necessarily stick together.
"I'm curious. Our people are about to evacuate Paradise City. After such a long time, the dragonborn forbidden companion is fine. How strange!"
This is indeed a suspicious point, but people don’t have much intention to delve into it. The focus for the time being is not on that, but on the deeper exploration of the Tower of Babel.
We have to admit that adventurers are the main force driving the exploration progress, because this scattered group is so large!
When it comes to exploring a map, no matter how strong one or two people are, their exploration speed is not much faster. They cannot compare to a large group of adventurers who are scattered to explore an unknown map.
"Then, while the adventurers are in a state of comfort and laziness for this month, our organization will send people to confirm what is going on under the Ruins Square."
This proposal received a rare unanimous nod, and even those who were accustomed to speaking out against it shut up.
"Yes, the map progress is not moving. We have to reveal other suspense and see if there is really despair hidden under the Ruins Square."
In fact, the bishop had already privately sent people to the ruins square to confirm the situation. Since it concerned his own life and death, he would definitely send his trusted confidants to take a look so that he could be assured of the information he obtained.
"I have something to ask. The confidant I sent out had a hard time destroying the ground of the Ruins Square, leaving a few small pits. How did they create that transparent hole?"
Commander Deluya didn't intend to speak, and since no one answered, she could only add another sentence:
"I asked the Dragonborn Lord. It was done by Lady Afaline of the Black Ice Dragonborn. The Dragonborn's innate magic was directly penetrated."
"...Is the Dragonborn so powerful now?"
*
Babel city area.
In just a few days, under the guidance of Sister Josephine, the "Inch.Stop Plan" launched by the chapel has been accepted by all adventurers.
The two major activities, card drawing and arena betting, are becoming more and more popular.
Because there were so many people participating, the guild's underground training ground was overcrowded, and they had to rent several new venues to divert the crowd.
These past few days, the Adventurer's Guild has been working normally, but there are very few adventurers who go to the hall to do business, and most of them go straight to the underground training ground.
Milanqi and several other guild staff members later listened to President Zhilan’s explanation, but they still had doubts and doubted its effectiveness.
Because this kind of project was implemented... too advanced, it is difficult for them to judge the subsequent effects.
The popularity in just the past few days has proven the feasibility of the project.
The hall was too empty, so one person was left on duty. Milanqi and other colleagues went to the underground training ground to confirm the situation.
In just a few days, many adventurers with a strong sense of gambling have lost all the gospel tickets they had worked so hard to save.
I could only go to the door of the chapel every day and spend money to buy a limited number of temporary gospel coupons of the low-income nature (which could not be used for redemption, only for betting) to barely make ends meet.
Among them, we have to mention the lucky man on the first day, the dwarf Steel Egg.
He lost all his gospel tickets on the third day, and now he can only serve as a "horse" in the arena to try to earn back the gospel tickets.
Just now, after days of defeat, Gangdan finally won a victory and received a generous gospel ticket.
Someone who knew about Steel Egg's strength immediately shouted in dissatisfaction:
"A conspiracy! There's a fake match! Steel Egg couldn't beat Iron Ball two days ago. This is a fake match planned by the dwarves!"
The church has also made preparations for this situation. If the winner of a particular match is considered questionable, the bettor can
525
Start a duel, grab similar temporary equipment, and test your skills to see who is better.
A third party will confirm the strength and verify the authenticity.
It is difficult to fake a fight among adventurers, as people are randomly picked to fight. Moreover, the strength of each party cannot be faked and can be found out with just a try.
I am afraid that at the end of the fight, the remaining two players will be equally strong and it will be hard to say who will win or lose. However, they know each other in advance, communicate secretly, and decide the winner privately.
In this case, the only option is off-site supervision, with the church increasing the reward for successful reporting, and the person will be directly disgraced if the report is verified.
A duel to test Steel Egg's strength began quickly and ended quickly.
His victory is unquestionable, and he has indeed improved in a short period of time.
Gangdan did not hide anything and said generously:
"That dragonborn who rarely shows up gave me some advice. He told me to go to Meduso's auction house and buy some permanent magic potions. They're a bit expensive, but they'll allow me to attack my enemies by surprise. It just so happens that I have too much money and nowhere to spend it!"
This truth surprised the adventurers. They didn't expect that playing such a shady game could be so reasonable.
Those magic potions that permanently improve physical fitness, strength, and agility, but generally drug resistance will develop after taking them twice.
Some people have more ideas: "Buying some fighting skills that are easy to learn should also produce similar effects. Now we have a lot of money and can afford them. If we win in the arena, we can earn it back!"
The sense of accomplishment of winning once is indescribable, and it can be seen as an honor written on one's face.
Some adventurers who were preparing to participate in the competition went straight to buy potions. If everyone bought some, anyone who didn't would be at a disadvantage.
Milanqi and others have been watching for a long time and can foresee the subsequent situation. Even if the adventurers do not lose their fortunes in the betting place, they will participate in the arms race in the auction house and spend their wallets empty.
She couldn't help but exclaim:
"It's hard to imagine that this kind of alternative casino is used to force adventurers to improve themselves. It won't be long before their money is gone, and they will definitely look forward to the reopening of exploration commissions..."
After that, this model is expected to stabilize, with the arena and guild commissions opening in turn.
It seems that the adventurers have a period of rest, but in fact they are not idle at all. They just change the way they work to keep busy, but the adventurers can enjoy it.
Anyway, it's a rest period.
*
After a week, adventurers in the entire Babel city area entered a different rhythm of life.
Some people have even asked Milanqi whether there is any chance to open the exploration commission again.
The arrangements in various places have been stabilized and can operate independently. Sister Josephine no longer needs to coordinate affairs. Chu Yan finally has the opportunity to run into the clergy parish and meet with her secretly.
As soon as they entered the room and closed the door, the mode of communication turned into hugs and kisses.
"We've already seen each other for several days, but I feel like today is our official reunion?" Josephine spoke softly. She hugged Chu Yan and wrapped him in warmth and softness.
The elder sister arrived in the city while Chu Yan was unconscious. If we count from that time, their formal meeting was delayed by more than just a few days!
Chu Yan's face was covered with a strong scent of milk. He barely cleared his face and said apologetically:
"I'm really sorry. I haven't even had time to have a good chat with you yet, but I've made you, Sister Josephine, worry about this for so long."
"That's nothing. It's something that should be done. It's a serious matter and I really need to worry about it. If I don't worry about it, then you will have to take care of everything... But you seem to have forgotten one thing."
"Forgot what?" Chu Yan thought about it doubtfully, probably not.
"...Call me mom! After calling me 'Big Sister' for so many days, have you forgotten how to address me in private?"
The beautiful, dignified and mature nun looked at him with reproach and anger.
Author's words: I will try to update another chapter with 12k words before 3:
Chapter 40: God of the Church System (-)
After Josephine's reminder, Chu Yan woke up from his dream and found that he had indeed forgotten to change his address.
But this can't be entirely blamed on him. As soon as he entered the room, he was hugged like this, with the plump and soft breasts pressed against his face. How could he think of so many things? The name he called her by was just a habit he had developed over the past few days and he said it subconsciously.
"It's my fault, please forgive my mistake, Mother Josephine~"
Chu Yan put his arms around her back. Through the fabric of the nun's robe, he could feel the smooth skin through his fingertips. A burst of warm body temperature emanated from her, and the fire in the nun's heart seemed to be ignited.
"Not bad..." Josephine nodded contentedly. She moved her body and looked at Chu Yan face to face, her beautiful purple eyes looking at him softly.
Having her request met, the nun mother forgot what she wanted to say for a moment and could only hug him tightly in her arms again, as if to make up for the warmth and closeness that had been missing in these days.
After a long time, Josephine loosened her hug a little. She reached out and took the pillow and quilt beside her and gave it to Chu Yan to lean on so that he could feel more comfortable.
"You and your sister Theresa have deepened your relationship, right?" the mature and beautiful nun confirmed.
Chu Yan felt that there was nothing to hide about this issue. Instead, he was a little surprised that Theresa didn't tell Josephine's mother, because this
526
It should be something that is tacitly agreed, right?
Josephine's mother probably realized long ago that giving Therese that stuff wouldn't work for long, and she would need some "instant cure" treatment.
"Didn't Theresa tell you?" Chu Yan asked curiously.
"She didn't deny it, but when I asked Theresa to confirm it, she was a little evasive, so I wanted to ask you."
"..."
Chu Yan felt that he knew the reason, but he didn't dare to explain it. However, after being stared at silently by the nun for a while, he finally chose to surrender and explain.
"It was like this. The daily prayer time at the parish had begun, and I forced myself to continue..."
He only confessed part of it and did not confess the details of how he took Theresa up, otherwise Chu Yan felt that the nun mother would be furious after hearing it.
"...I see. No wonder Theresa refused to explain. You should have been patient."
The elder nun shook her head slightly and grumbled at Chu Yan, but she didn't pursue the matter any further as it would be useless to do so.
The word "patience" mentioned casually seemed to have touched some kind of emotion. The room was silent for a moment, only the temperature was gradually rising, so hot that people became unconscious and confused.
"I haven't seen Mother Josephine for such a long time. Why do I feel that... your eyes haven't changed color at all, and they are so stable?"
Chu Yan gently extended his hand, from fingertips to palms, and carefully placed it on the cheek of the cold and beautiful nun. Her smooth and white skin was as soft and smooth as a virgin girl's. He took off her nun's hat, and her light golden hair hung down, slightly messed up by Chu Yan. A strand of hair got into her collar and dotted on her delicate collarbone, which was particularly white and attractive.
The elder sister gave people the impression of being cold and stern in public, and one could hardly hear a soft word from her mouth. But at this moment, she allowed Chu Yan to touch her. When she realized that his movements were too cautious, as if there was some unfamiliarity between them, the woman took the initiative to rub his palm with her mature and smooth cheek to remove his awkwardness.
"How can I really hold on for that long? Even if there is a miracle array in Paradise City, I still have to use the blessing magic to help from time to time... The eyes are just a disguise."
As Josephine spoke, she removed the magical disguise on her beautiful eyes, revealing a light red color.
If it's more serious, the magical camouflage of eye color alone won't be effective, and the aura of uncontrolled power will reveal everything.
"Then I have to help Mother Josephine recover~"
Chu Yan joked and wanted to turn over and let the nun lie down, but his behavior was stopped. The dignified and plump mature nun shook her head slightly, indicating that it was fine to maintain the current situation.
"I can do it by myself. I should let you get to know me better. I knew you would feel alienated after not seeing you for so long..."
Josephine got up and held up her delicate and beautiful body. They hadn't done anything yet, just hugged each other quietly for a while. The body temperature blended with each other made her sweat, soaking through her solemn black nun's robe.
The thin fabric with wet wrinkles clung to the graceful, sexy and stunning figure, revealing every amazing ups and downs of the beautiful curves.
She reluctantly adjusted her nun's robe, then slowly squatted in front of Chu Yan.
......
For a long time, the two hugged each other quietly, lying in the silence, enjoying the afterglow of the storm.
It was the sound of Therese opening the door that started the atmosphere in the bedroom flowing again.
