At this moment, Captain Luo Nina pondered for a moment and said:
"Lor, you should also know that many of our fellow exorcists in the church will choose to retire after accumulating a certain amount of wealth, return their extraordinary powers to the church, and live a simple life from then on... After all, exorcism is a very risky profession, so it is understandable that they do so.
"If you've had this thought, I'm not surprised. After all, you have a beautiful, lovely, and devoted fiancée, so retiring now wouldn't be a bad choice... But in my opinion, you still have so much potential, and it would be a shame to quit just like that."
In her opinion, Lor, who had just become a superhuman and was still a newcomer, was likely to lose his composure because of the 800 gold coins he suddenly obtained.
Little did he know that the money Lor actually owned now was more than five times this amount.
"Don't worry, Captain, I don't have that plan for the time being." Lor said with a smile.
"That's good. It seems my worries were unnecessary."
Captain Luo Nina breathed a sigh of relief, and then said earnestly:
"As for where to spend this money... I suggest you buy some spells, props, and weapons that are useful in actual combat, just in case.
"Our Holy Light Church has partnerships with the Mystic Association and many otherworldly organizations. We can purchase many otherworldly items through legitimate channels. While the prices aren't cheap, they're worth it... Of course, this requires some rather tedious processes and procedures, which I can help you with."
"Thank you for your kindness, Captain." Luo Er shook his head and said, "But I'd rather spend this money on something else... Actually, I've always had a small goal, and now I can finally achieve it."
"Small goal?"
"Buy a house!" Lor said seriously.
As a time traveler from China, whenever I start to have some money, this thought will involuntarily come to my mind... This is an instinct in my DNA.
I can't sleep well without a house of my own.
Even in another world it's the same.
In fact, Lor had already had this idea as early as when he received 500 gold coins of "intelligence fee" from the vampire Lucinda. However, the money came from an illegal source and he had no way to explain it to his colleagues in the church, so he had been holding back until now.
Now, I can finally buy a house with a legitimate reason!
"Buying a house... Well, considering your lifelong event, this is indeed a very important matter." Captain Rhonina thought carefully for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Eight hundred gold coins is enough to buy a pretty good house in Gordon City... Then, Miss Isabella's parents will probably no longer oppose your relationship!"
It seems that the captain has always been concerned about my personal problems.
Although this setting was just something I made up.
Lor suddenly felt a little guilty.
But there was no other way. After all, he couldn't risk revealing Isabella's true identity, so he had to make up a reasonable background for her.
...Buying a house is one thing, but it is also necessary to increase your own trump cards in battle.
Anyway, I have enough money now, so I can do both.
Lor plans to keep the budget for buying a house within one thousand gold coins, leaving an emergency budget of about one thousand gold coins, and use the rest to buy talismans, props or weapons that suit him.
Of course, it wasn't from the official channels of the Church of Holy Light.
At this moment, the image of Ms. "No. 19" at the Dark Moon Society tea party emerged in Lor's mind.
She seems to be a person with a lot of connections. She can even get high-level extraordinary relics like the "Remains of the Fire Demon"... Well, next time I attend the tea party, I can see if she has any other good things.
But I still don’t know when the next “tea party” will be.
[Lor, I think you are a little too calm, aren't you?]
The wise voice in my mind reminded me:
It's been two weeks since the last tea party, and there's still no news. Who knows when the next one will be? It might be years in the future... What if we really encounter a strong enemy during this time?
[I suggest you buy some powerful spells and props from legitimate channels first, just in case!]
...Thanks FLAG.
It seems that the next tea party is not far away.
Luo immediately felt relieved.
……
I took my pay slip to the finance office and exchanged it for a check that could be cashed at a bank.
Then leave the church feeling satisfied.
However, he did not forget the agreement he made with Isabella, so before going home, he went to the bakery on the corner and bought her favorite cake.
There is a big girl at home waiting to be fed.
22. Don’t waste cream
"Tsk, that idiot Lor... he just went there to collect some money, why hasn't he come back in so long?"
Isabella muttered softly and glanced at the clock on the wall.
It was already dinner time and it was dark outside.
The girl was fidgeting, feeling a little irritated, but more nervous and shy... When she thought of the agreement between her and Lor, her face felt hot.
Holding a baby in your arms and feeding him cake is so embarrassing!
"Lor, this guy, has been getting bolder and bolder lately, even making such an outrageous suggestion!" She grumbled to herself, "If things keep going like this, what's going to happen in the future?!"
I was also confused for a moment and agreed in a rush of impulse...
Humph, it’s all because of those weird things he said before, like calling me “dear lady” at the ball, and saying things like “protecting you for life” and other things that are easy to be misunderstood... I have no way of thinking normally anymore!
What to do? What to do? What to do?
What if Lor really brings back a cake later?
"Calm down, there's no need to panic!"
Isabella took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down:
"It's no big deal. Lor is my dependent. To put it bluntly, the relationship between us is not much different from that of a master and a pet... Well, isn't it normal to be affectionate with your pet occasionally? Who would be so shy that their heart would beat fast when petting a cat or a dog? That would be too weird!"
Yes, there is no need to be nervous at all.
As the master, I have to be calm and composed!
"Hmm... I've been on the road these past two days, so I'm pretty exhausted. I don't think there's any strange smell on me..." Isabella pinched her collar and sniffed. "I don't smell anything, but to be on the safe side, I should take a shower and change clothes before Lor comes back."
Then hurry up.
Isabella quickly found her spare clothes and toiletries, opened the door, and walked towards the public bathroom at the end of the corridor.
To be honest, the studio apartment Luo Er currently rents is not very good. Not only is the space cramped, but it doesn't even have a private bathroom. If he wants to shower, he can only go to the public bathroom in the apartment building, and during peak hours, he has to wait in line for a long time.
At first, this made it difficult for Isabella, who came from an aristocratic family, to adapt.
But after living here for so long, she has gradually gotten used to it.
Moreover, as a young lady who spent her days idle, she didn't need to compete with other residents who worked from dawn to dusk for the bathroom. She could just go and take a shower during the day when no one was around.
Although it is already night, it is not yet peak hour and there is no need to queue.
"Hmph, I'm willing to condescend to live in a place like this. That idiot Lor should be very grateful to me!" Isabella muttered to herself as she scrubbed herself. "Well, this is a rare opportunity. I might as well spray some perfume... Hehe, I bought this with the pocket money Lor gave me. I haven't used it yet..."
Ok?
and many more.
Isabella suddenly felt something was wrong.
This isn't a date, why should I be so formal?
……
ten minutes later.
Isabella returned to her room, smelling fragrant and wearing clean clothes.
She found that Lor had already arrived home and was sitting alone on the single sofa in the living room, with a piece of her favorite cream cake on the coffee table in front of her.
"Miss has come out of the bath?" Lor looked at the basin and toiletries in Isabella's hands and said with a smile.
"Hmph, isn't it because you're too slow that I got tired of waiting for you and went to take a shower out of boredom?" The eldest lady turned her face away and complained with a little shyness.
"I can't help it. The cakes are sold out, so I have to wait for the next batch to come out...Okay, okay, enough talk. You're hungry too, right? Come and eat."
"Hmph, you guy, have you forgotten something?" Isabella said.
"Okay, okay, hey, you?" Lor sighed softly, "I can't do anything about you. Come, sit next to me."
"You hold me in your arms and feed me!" Isabella corrected seriously.
"Ah? Are you really coming? I thought it was just a joke..."
"Who's kidding? I've always been serious! Oh, I see. You're just shy, aren't you?" Isabella narrowed her eyes and licked her lips. "Hmph, aren't you usually very bold? Why are you so cowardly at the critical moment? Let me tell you, it's too late to regret now!"
As he spoke, he threw the basin and toiletries in his hands to the side and flashed in front of Lor.
Then he put his hands on his shoulders without saying a word and pushed Lor back onto the sofa when he was about to stand up.
"Sit still, sweetheart. I'm coming up!" Isabella's pretty face flushed, and she tried to hide her shyness with her impressive presence. "Raise your hands and hold my waist, just like when we're dancing... Do you hear me, stupid follower?"
The scent of perfume and Isabella's natural body fragrance filled the air, leaving Lor at a loss for what to do.
"No, Miss... What's the position you're in? Face to face, and so close, how am I supposed to feed you?"
"Humph, I don't care, figure it out yourself!"
"Tsk tsk, so domineering..."
Lor had no choice but to submit to the eldest lady's silver power.
"Hey, stop moving!" Isabella suddenly cried out in a sweet voice, "W-where did you touch just now? You big idiot, big pervert!"
"No, I have to reach the cake and spoon, otherwise how can I feed you?" Lor struggled to stretch out his arms, "Oh, okay, I've reached it... Come on, Miss, open your mouth, ah——"
"Ah-Hey! Where are you poking the spoon? You've got cream all over my face!"
"Well, it's really difficult to operate in this position... Come, let me help you wipe it off." Lor apologized, raised his hand, and wiped off the cream on the young lady's face with his fingers.
But I never expected that Isabella would open her mouth and chase after him.
She put Lor's finger directly into her mouth and started sucking it.
A soft, delicate hand wrapped around Lor's, licking all the cream off his fingers. The sweet taste lingered in her mouth, and Isabella savored it for a long time, until she had completely swallowed the mixture of cream and saliva, and then she reluctantly let go of Lor's fingers.
"Such delicious cream cannot be wasted! You, you must not think too much about it, stupid Lor!" Isabella's ears flushed, her eyes dodged, and her long eyelashes fluttered, trying to explain her impulsive behavior just now.
At the same time, she could clearly feel...
Lor, who was pressed under him, felt his heart beating faster.
Isabella couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, feeling quite proud.
She's the bride, this idiot, he can't keep calm anymore...
Humph, he is indeed a pervert!
23.Transfer Methods
The next day, Lor took advantage of the fact that it was just dawn and there were not many people on the street to go to a small park not far from his home to do his daily task of "Praising the Holy Light".
After finishing, I feel smooth all over and full of spiritual energy.
After several days of verification, he can now confirm that his previous guess was correct... The combination of the effects of "Supernatural Power Stabilizer" and "Praise Holy Light" can indeed greatly accelerate Lor's speed in learning the second-level divine arts.
When I was successfully promoted, a lot of "knowledge" about new skills flooded into my mind, some clear and some vague.
Among these, there were three second-level divine arts that Lor could clearly identify and directly master: "Purification Field," "Curse Removal," and "Communication with the Dead." As for the other vague knowledge, it would take continuous training and practice to gradually make them clear.
Now, Lor could clearly feel that a new second-level divine art was about to emerge.
"Hmm, there are ten second-tier Holy Light spells... Judging by this, it won't be long before I can master them all," Lor thought silently. "Maybe even less than two months... Then, I can go directly to the diocesan bishop to advance to the third tier."
To be honest, this growth rate is really amazing.
Even more exaggerated than the current Saint Angelica, who is known as a genius.
However, this is also because the "Defender of the Church" Laerian helped open the door for me, with the purpose of allowing me to become an "Inquisitor" as soon as possible... Therefore, even if I am growing at an astonishing rate now, it will only be known by a few people. It is impossible to be publicized like Saint Angelica, the face of the church.
fair enough.
As the saying goes, the tallest tree catches the most wind.
Fame and popularity are all fleeting. The best thing is to develop quietly.
