Chapter 128
Chapter 128
The sudden arrival of the archangel made all the apostles in the hall very excited. They were all young, had never entered any temple before, and had never seen an angel above the rank of apostle.
Besides, the purpose of their coming to the temple is to serve the Archangel, and it is their honor in this life to be within a hundred meters of the Archangel.
Qinghe stared blankly at the direction where the archangel left: "If I can one day..."
Ming Shu thought that he also wanted to become a seraph, but he heard the second half of his sentence: "I can also follow the archangel..."
The number of temples being born is less and less, and there are very few angels who have advanced into the teaching, let alone grow a second pair of wings.
Like Qinghe, most of the apostles don't have big dreams.
At this time, Mingshu finally learned from Qinghe that the archangel's name is Zhiyuan.
Ming Shu bowed his head in silence, silently chanting this completely unfamiliar name in his heart.
After the archangel left, the previous apostles continued to select apostles and took away more than a dozen apostles including Mingshu.
Qinghe was not selected, and the two were roommates for only one day.
The apostles don't need to pack their things, they will immediately follow the apostles to the West Temple.
The other two side halls also arranged for apostles to come, and the number was reduced by a quarter compared to before. After the redistribution, there is no need for two people to live in one room, and one room is enough for one person.
This is absolutely good news for Mingshu. He was at the end of the team. He wanted to choose a remote corner where no one wanted to go, but was stopped by the emissary alone.
"You live in this room," the teacher stared at Mingshu's face, "it's closer to the inner hall."
The inner hall is the place where the servants and teachers can live, and the higher the level, the more qualified they are to go to the depths of the temple.
Ming Shu had no room to refute, so he could only nod: "Okay."
He could faintly feel that this envoy had a different attitude towards him. He first selected him in the North Hall, and then personally arranged for him to live.
There are two reasons for this kind of special care, one is to have a crush on him, and the other is to doubt him.
But in heaven, angels cannot have love, which is something that demons would like.
Therefore, the second possibility is the most likely.
Ming Shu felt uneasy, and immediately locked the door after entering the room, took out the perfume and touched up his whole body, especially the hair that the teacher had touched not long ago.
It's been less than two days since he came in, and a quarter of a bottle of perfume has been used.Fortunately, after the four dungeons, Mingshu has accumulated a lot of points, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to afford the camouflage supplies in a short time.
After arranging the place to live, the apostles should start a new day's task.
In order to save time, they no longer need to wait in the front hall, but a few envoys will come directly to inform them.
The door of Mingshu's room was knocked open, and an envoy with a small notebook in his hand glanced at him, and said: "The envoy asked you to take care of the flowers and plants near his bedroom, be careful when pruning, so as not to damage them."
Because of yesterday’s hellfire, many flowers and plants outside the west hall were sluggish, showing signs of dying, and it was very troublesome to maintain, and the disciples lived in the inner hall, and the apostles were not allowed to enter without orders, so the plants there were still intact lossless.
This is equivalent to arranging the easiest errand for Mingshu.
Hearing that it was arranged by the envoy, Ming Shu frowned almost invisible, and bowed his head in response.
He tidied up his clothes, put on his gloves meticulously, went to the front hall to bring the water bottle and the scissors needed for trimming the branches and leaves, and walked towards the inner hall.
The entire temple is very large, and the outer area is only one-sixth of the area. Ming Shu has never been to the inner hall, but after walking around, he found that he seemed lost.
He looked around in a daze. Usually, few people would come here, and he couldn't even find anyone who could ask for directions.
In Nuo Da's corridor, Ming Shu tried to ask, "Is anyone there?"
There was no response, so he had no choice but to walk forward based on his feeling, looking for places with flowers and plants.
After walking for about five or six minutes, Mingshu saw a small garden in the distance.
This was probably the destination. He was about to go there when his footsteps suddenly stopped.
In the middle of the garden, there was a slightly familiar figure sitting on a stone chair with his back facing him.
With just this one glance, Ming Shu could recognize that it was Zhiyuan.
The three pairs of wings behind him were retracted and invisible. He was dressed in a white robe with gold trim on the cuffs on the armrests and the collar.
I just saw him in the morning, and I met him here again, Ming Shu's eyes lighted up slightly, he hesitated, and he didn't know how to appear in front of him.
After all, he was just an apostle with the lowest rank, and he didn't even have the qualifications to talk to the archangel.
Ming Shu was struggling, when he suddenly received a system prompt.
[Ding dong - side mission released]
[Task [-]: Encounter with an archangel by chance, and make initial contact with the other party after using Fascinating Incense]
(Click to receive mission props:)
The task time limit is only one hour... Now I have to go if I don't want to.
Seeing the words Miqingxiang, Mingshu's cheeks blushed quietly, and he took out a small bottle from the system.
Sang Yin doesn't know him now, or Zhiyuan, with the help of props, the task and plot should be able to proceed faster...
Ming Shu was distracted for a short while, the tail inside the clothes was disheveledly raised, gently rubbing against the smooth skin.
His face was even redder, and he hid in a corner and rubbed it himself, suppressing the strange feeling brought by the blood, trying to adjust his breathing, and looking at the small bottle in his hand.
[props name]: Fascinating Fragrance
【How to use】: Apply on the exposed skin surface.
[Effect]: Within ten meters, even an npc meeting for the first time can greatly increase the favorability of the other party and generate a certain indescribable value.
The bottle is very small, and there is only a little bit of transparent liquid inside. Ming Shu unscrewed the cap and wiped it on her neck above the collar.
The liquid quickly penetrated into the skin and disappeared, and there was no abnormality, and it seemed that there was no special smell.
After finishing all this, Ming Shu took the water bottle and scissors and walked towards the garden.
Footsteps sounded from the corridor behind him, Zhiyuan raised his eyes slightly, and saw a low-ranking apostle enter the garden and approach him with steps.
The apostle was very beautiful, with long black hair hanging down to his collarbone, making his facial features more delicate and beautiful, his skin was very fair, and his amber pupils reflected the sunlight.
This face is hard to forget after seeing it once.
Mingshu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and facing Shangzhiyuan's cold and indifferent gaze, he put down the water bottle and scissors in his hand, knelt down on the grass as in the morning, and saluted him: "My lord..."
The Archangel is the master of the temple. As an attendant, he cannot directly call the Archangel by his name, nor can he just call him the Archangel.
In a sense, the archangel is indeed the monarch of all other ranks of angels.
Zhiyuan didn't speak, Mingshu felt the gaze cast on him, he was a little at a loss, so he raised his head boldly, still in the kneeling posture.
This distance is just within the range of Miqingxiang's effect, but there is no system prompt, Mingshu doesn't know if there is an increase in favorability.
He looked at Zhiyuan cautiously, feeling that the other person's eyes seemed to be a little less cold, but that was all, he didn't have any more emotional fluctuations, just stared at him.
After a while, Zhiyuan said, "Do you live nearby?" Ming Shu quickly shook his head and explained, "I live in the outer hall, and the envoy ordered me to come and take care of the flowers and plants near his sleeping hall."
Mingshu deliberately explained the reasons clearly, and wanted to talk more with Zhiyuan so that he could complete the side mission.
To be honest, even if there was contact, the system has not yet prompted the task to be completed.
Until Zhiyuan stood up and walked past Mingshu like no one else.
[Sub-quest [-] has been completed!Please go to the background to check your reward points by yourself]
Before Ming Shu could be happy, she heard the sound of wings flapping, and the wind and waves were blowing from behind her.
He turned his head and saw that Zhiyuan had disappeared.
Ming Shu was slightly taken aback, did he just leave?
The task was successfully completed, but Zhiyuan only asked him a word... It doesn't look like his favorability has increased.
Immediately afterwards, a system prompt popped up.
[A new plot update has been detected, do you want to check it immediately? 】
【Plot reminder】:
【The devil has been lurking in the temple for a while, and finally found an opportunity to meet the archangel himself.There are not many such opportunities, the devil hastily used the most effective enchanting incense for himself, and came to the archangel to seduce him. 】
【However, the devil overestimated himself and underestimated the archangel. The archangel was not affected by the enchanting fragrance, nor did he leave a deeper impression on him. 】
【The first plan failed, but the devil did not give up. While continuing to disguise himself, he was looking for new opportunities. 】
After watching the plot, Ming Shu felt a little less disappointed.
So it's not his problem, but the Archangel is immune to things like Mi Qingxiang?
The mission was completed, and he did successfully contact the archangel, but his favorability may not have increased.
Ming Shu got up slowly, brushed off the grass leaves on the hem of his clothes, began to water all the flowers and plants in the garden, and trimmed off the excess branches and leaves.
He stayed in the garden all day, hid in a corner on the way and refilled himself with perfume twice, seeing that it was getting dark, and then walked in the direction when he set off.
Ming Shu walked through the corridor with his head down, and suddenly met the envoy head-on.
He saluted respectfully and stepped aside to make way.
But the messenger stopped and looked at him sideways: "Didn't I ask you to come near my bedroom?"
Mingshu looked blank: "I'm going..."
Did he go the wrong way... The garden was not the place the envoy taught him to arrange.Ming Shu explained a few words, while admitting his mistake to Shijiao, Shijiao took a step forward, and suddenly said: "What smell do you have..."
"So fragrant?" He muttered to himself, bending over to get closer.
Mingshu's face turned pale, he had obviously reapplied the perfume when he left the garden, so he shouldn't have smelled the devil's breath on him, or it was... the fragrance of love.
He took a few steps back and squeezed the scissors tightly in his hand.
Mingshu's resistance made the teacher sober up a bit, and he also realized his gaffe, frowning and glanced around.
It was still dark, and there would be other envoys passing by in the inner hall at any time, he held back and said meaningfully: "If you can't find a place tomorrow, go to the front hall and wait for me."
There are only six envoys in the temple, their status is second only to the archangel, and they are also the most promising to be promoted to grow a second pair of wings, and they are closer than the archangel.
Many apostles would please them, try their best to match their preferences, and send some gifts and the like.
Any higher creature will have the seven emotions and six desires, including angels naturally. Love is not allowed on the bright side of the heavens, but there are secret ones.
The envoy left after finishing his speech, but Ming Shu didn't dare to stay any longer, so he turned around and walked away quickly.
It was getting darker and darker, and lights were lit up in various places in the temple one by one.
Shijiao walked through the open-air corridor, rounded the corner, and a figure silently appeared in front of him with the wind.
The messenger immediately fell to his knees: "My lord."
Seraphim stood facing the dim light, Zhiyuan looked indifferent: "What were you doing just now?"
The cold tone, with the coercion belonging to the superior, made the professor's face suddenly ugly, and a chill rose up his spine.
—
The next day, Mingshu came to the front hall and got a piece of news from the surrounding apostles.
The missionary who brought them here yesterday was punished by the archangel because of a mistake, and he is no longer in the temple.
The accident happened so suddenly, Ming Shu frowned and asked an apostle beside him: "What mistake did you make?"
"I heard it's about that... I've been thinking a little bit that I shouldn't have," the apostle lowered his voice, his expression mixed with fear and longing: "This archangel is indeed very strict..."
