"Okay, boss, I'll bring a long dress with me when I go."
"Your face was practically screaming regret just now, wasn't it? You must have been! What are you regretting?!"
Latis shouted inwardly, rubbed his temples, shook his head, sighed, and said:
"Anyway, that's fine."
"Okay, boss." Frico blinked, gave an understanding gesture, and turned to Xiaolu without hesitation, saying, "When Miss Robin comes back from school later, I'll tell her not to bother you before dinner."
"...?"
Latis frowned, sensing that the female office worker seemed to be implying something, but as a boss, he couldn't very well pry into what his employees were thinking. Maybe if he had a heart-to-heart talk with her, she would give him a raise.
"No, when did I become such a heartless capitalist? If Frico wants a raise, then give her a hefty one!"
He stroked his chin, rekindling his original aspirations, and watched Frico's receding figure. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he hurriedly chased after her and called out to her.
"One more thing."
Latis scratched his head for a few seconds, watching Frico's puzzled expression, before awkwardly whispering:
"Could you elaborate on the contraceptive methods you just mentioned?"
……
……
"Ah—this is Lazi's room!"
Jennifer pushed open the door, rushed into the room with an excited look on her face, looked around for a moment, and then jumped onto the bed with a grin.
"Hmm! It's fairly tidy. As expected, the lesbian hasn't completely degenerated into a war bastard. I'm quite relieved!"
She sat on the edge of the bed, hugged the pillow, buried her head in it, and took a deep sniff. Then she looked up, chuckled, and said:
"These pillows were sent from my family's mansion!"
"The entire mage tower is made with pillows and blankets from your mansion! Arte said she didn't need you to send them, but if you did, she certainly wouldn't waste them."
Latis shook his head helplessly, sat down in his chair, patted Jennifer's head, and asked:
"Alright, it's been two or three days since I last saw you. How's my little knight been lately?"
"It's alright!" Jennifer said casually, resting her elbow on the pillow, propping her chin up with one hand, and waving her other hand.
"The food in the Holy City is still as rough as ever, but the portions are huge and filling. I feel like I've gained weight! It's been a long time since I've followed the Holy City's rules for morning and evening prayers. I've been strictly adhering to the discipline these past few days, and I feel like I'm not getting enough sleep... The Pope even said that it's rare for us to all be gathered in the Holy City, and very 'generously' urged us to double our training volume. My legs are still sore, Lazi, quickly give me a massage..."
A pair of slender legs rested unceremoniously on Latis's knees. Jennifer had already skillfully removed her hard leg armor, leaving only a thin layer of training pants clinging to her calves.
"Speaking of this, I want to complain about the Pope again. He said he didn't understand anime and manga, but this time we found out he was secretly playing that 'Destiny God' game. When we even found out he was drawing some kind of Destiny Star, he still denied it, saying it was for the future of the Church of Light..."
Jennifer's rambling voice reached Latis's ears, and he couldn't help but sigh. The Church of Light was indeed a good organization, but sometimes it did sound a bit unreliable. Perhaps this was the so-called price to pay.
However, his attention was immediately drawn to the calf that he was massaging.
As a powerful Knight of Light, Jennifer's physical strength is undoubtedly beyond that of ordinary people, so even under the cover of her training pants, the smooth and beautiful curves of her calves are still clearly visible.
The firm, full muscles pressed evenly against Latis's palm. He squeezed them hard, and in that indescribable, wonderful sensation, his thoughts drifted away.
"Speaking of which, I've never been to the Holy City in reality. In the simulated memories, only the parts of the Holy City that I've been to are clear. I'm actually quite curious about what the place where Jennifer used to live was like..."
"But JieJie probably didn't always live in the Holy City, right? As the eldest daughter of a floating island family, how did she grow up to become the kind of person I like so much..."
"Next time I take Stupid Dragon to Hines City for his mental retardation treatment, I might have a good chance to get to know Jennifer better. I strongly suspect she's been secretly hiding R18 doujinshi in her bookshelf since she was little; I have to find them and punish her!"
"...Ah, Jennifer's legs feel so good to touch. I think someone likes legs so much that...it sounds lewd, but..."
"Lazi?"
Jennifer's curious voice brought Latis back to his senses. He then realized that Jennifer had stopped talking at some point and was now hugging a pillow, staring at him with bright, sparkling eyes.
"...Ah, ah?"
Latis paused, scratched his head awkwardly, and asked:
"Um, where were we?"
“I forgot too.” Jennifer raised an eyebrow, decisively skipping over the topic she had just brought up, then gave a mischievous smile and asked, “Lazy, what are you thinking about?”
"Ha, ha..." Latis chuckled dryly, then subconsciously pinched Jennifer's calf again. "I'm thinking about some future plans..."
"Eh~"
A teasing look appeared in Jennifer's eyes. She coughed lightly, shifted her leg slightly, and asked:
"So this is the kind of exciting future that Lazi envisions..."
Those slender legs playfully pressed against Latis's waist and abdomen. Under a slight pressure, Latis's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that his bull had actually raised its head without him noticing!
"Ah, um, that's how it is... Men, you know, it's normal for them to think about grander, more dramatic things..."
He swallowed hard, and without changing his expression, slightly lifted Jennifer's leg, taking the opportunity to subtly adjust the egg track and press Brother Niu back under his leg.
Jennifer, who had been openly observing Latis, finally couldn't help but smile. Her face flushed slightly, and instead of teasing Latis any further, she withdrew her leg with amusement.
"Seriously, I also wanted to talk about the belated embarrassment I felt when I realized we'd exchanged rings only after we got back to the Holy City and were alone together. Lazi definitely has no idea!"
Her calves crossed and rubbed against each other unconsciously. The warmth of Latis's palms seemed to linger on her calves, which were no longer sore from the kneading.
"What a contradiction! I'm supposed to be an indomitable knight of light, yet only after I've dashed across the victory ribbon do I remember the hesitations I had along the way..."
Jennifer swayed slightly, and after seeing Latis bow his head again, she chuckled and said:
"Alright, let me tell you about the meeting's contents. I've already asked the Pope if I could tell you about the Church, and after doing some calculations, he replied, 'The God of Light has agreed'..."
……
……
When she said goodbye to Jennifer in Silverway, she had already told Latis the general content of the meeting, which was indeed mainly those topics, except for some minor changes related to her.
First, there was the issue of naming Jennifer's newly created purification spell. Since cases without divine guidance are extremely rare, this time they made an exception for her and let her name it herself.
However, given that the new divine spells were to be inscribed on the "Knight's Monument" in the Holy City for everyone to learn and admire, the Pope reminded Jennifer not to use overly strange names, dispelling her idea of using popular magic-related terms such as "Who formed the paladin group," "Zepelion Ray," or "Ultimate Flash."
After much hesitation, Jennifer named the new divine spell "Ra Loves the World." The Pope was a little surprised when he first heard it, since in some ancient classics, Ra does indeed have the connotation of the sun and light. This made him think that Jennifer had finally started to study hard and read books seriously.
Unfortunately, after Jennifer enthusiastically explained the origin of "La," the Pope's spirits died again.
The second thing felt important to Jennifer, but also somewhat perplexing: the Pope's decision to restart the "Cultivation of the God of Light."
"The cultivation of the God of Light," as the name suggests, is the personification and training of the God of Light. Jennifer has already explained the current state of the God of Light. Although believers with divine power will receive a trace of guidance from the unseen world, in this world full of magic, everything has a certain spirituality, and the people of the religion cannot confirm the existence of the God of Light based on this.
Therefore, after a rather awkward discussion, the knights at the core of the cult unanimously approved the proposal to restart the "Cultivation of the God of Light".
The reason it's strange is that everyone deeply reveres the God of Light, and even if it didn't exist, they would find it difficult to even consider cultivating a connection with it. However, if a God of Light truly appeared, upholding the principles of chivalry, it would be a good thing for the Church of Light and for the world as a whole.
The specific method for cultivating this skill was to sacrifice to the God of Light. The Pope granted all core knights the qualification to make independent sacrifices and inscribed the sacrificial divine spell into their divine power equipment.
Jennifer received two Sacrifice spells. Perhaps out of trust in the pure light, the Pope agreed to let her transfer one of the Sacrifice spells to Latis. Although he did not say the deeper reason, Jennifer still knew it from the expressions of the other knights.
These knights, unsure whether this path was the right one, decided to place the only variable on themselves, and they would persistently sacrifice what they considered the most sublime.
And indeed, just as Jennifer had predicted, after the meeting, the Pope told her privately that she and Latis were free to sacrifice what they considered good without having to ask the Pope for permission.
"As for the third thing..."
Jennifer touched her chin, her expression suddenly turning helpless.
"I was listening intently to the story of those two prospective knights, but for some reason, the conversation suddenly shifted to me..."
She rubbed her head, wincing in pain, then flopped back onto the bed with a thud, letting out a long sigh, and said:
"As expected, that old Pope Deng is truly wicked. While I wasn't looking, he secretly assigned me a prospective knight as his apprentice..."
A suppressed laugh came from the room. Jennifer's eyes widened, and she sprang up from the bed, glaring at Latis who was watching with amusement. She said angrily:
"You brat, what are you laughing at! My apprentice is your apprentice too! Just you wait, you'll definitely have a bunch of little brats bothering you in the future!"
Chapter 290 Preparations for a Physiological Examination?!
For Latis, Jennifer becoming someone else's mentor was like being transported into the life of the Hiroshima priest – absolutely mind-blowing.
In his mind, Jennifer was absolutely terrible at disciplining others. In every simulation, the children she had were all incredibly annoying. Although they were all well-behaved in essence, they were all little devils with filial piety traits, which was definitely related to Jennifer.
So, upon hearing that the little girl named Leafa had been assigned to be Jennifer's apprentice, Latis couldn't help but silently mourn for her. Leafa, capable of creating new divine magic under the guidance of the God of Light, must be exceptionally talented, and Jennifer is good in every way. He just wondered if Leafa and Jennifer would develop some kind of unseen chemistry after spending a lot of time together…
In short, Jennifer had no idea how to take on an apprentice, so she could only temporarily assign Leafa to the Holy Knights Squad of Lundia to teach her by example during future field missions. Leafa also filled the vacancy left by Tina's departure.
As for Jennifer wanting Latis to help tutor her... that's still too terrifying for him. What could he possibly teach? A wide range of XPs?
After pondering for a long time, Latis still had to admit that he had to sit at the same table with Jennifer. If he were to teach people, there was probably a 99% chance that they would be led astray... So in the end, he decided that he could help out in the Knights Squad, but he still couldn't teach anyone himself.
"Luckily, La doesn't have any students to teach... thank goodness!"
He patted his chest in relief, grinned, gave Jennifer a thumbs-up, and said:
"Keep it up, big sister who's a mentor now!"
"It's so annoying!"
Jennifer snorted angrily, put the ring, now imbued with the divine magic, back on Latis's middle finger, and said:
"Now you have two divine spells in your ring. The first is the previous purification spell 'Radiant Light,' which requires at least half a week to recharge after each use, and even longer in autumn and winter..."
"The second type of divine magic is the Sacrifice Divine Magic. This does not require charging. On the contrary, after making a sacrifice, the God of Light may reward you with some divine power. Even if you do not have a container for divine power in your body, it can be used to restore and buff you and those nearby."
"The Light God Training Program... is such a heavy responsibility really going to fall on the two of us?" Latis withdrew his hand, stroked the ring on his middle finger, and glanced hesitantly at Jennifer. "I feel like neither of us is very reliable..."
"Hey, this knight is very reliable!"
Jennifer couldn't help but kick Latis, clenching her fist and declaring confidently:
"I will offer all the books I have collected as a sacrifice to the God of Light. Aha, I've nurtured these books for a thousand days, and now I'm using them for a single moment!"
"...Forget it, Jennifer." Latis took a deep breath and retorted with a tense face:
"Is this the god of light or Slaanesh?! Don't let them carve all this nonsense into his DNA!"
"No, no, the God of Light is now completely accepting of the book I offered as a sacrifice."
Jennifer patted her chest, her face beaming with a proud and joyful smile, as if she had accomplished something great, and boasted:
"But what you said makes sense, Lazi. I still need to pick out some high-quality ones. Hmm... I've been into pure romance lately, so I'll offer up more pure romance books. But I need to consider the quality..."
Latis sighed as he looked at Jennifer's pensive face. Although he knew that Jennifer must have other things to sacrifice besides the doujinshi, he still had a feeling that the God of Light would be corrupted by those strange things.
