On the other side.
Silas was now penniless. His pockets were cleaner than his face.
Fortunately, the stable provided food and lodging. Now that he was the head of the stable, the food was much better, at least no longer bread mixed with a lot of sand.
How could he consider a concubine?
Let alone the conflict between Rose and Elisa... Silas sighed, summoning a small blob of slime rolling on the back of his hand.
It's okay.
He won't forget.
As the saying goes, love what you do. Rose didn't know where she went. Silas decided to fulfill his work obligations first.
He greeted the grooms to carry wooden stakes, split them in half, tie soft pads, and bury them on the only way in and out of the stable. Thus, the speed bumps were completed.
Different breeds of horses living in different stables were also distinguished, with completely different signs. Even if it was the same grass, it had to be divided into two piles, one looking messy and the other looking neatly arranged one by one, then labeled 'VIP Guest'.
After a set of procedures, Silas peeked at the brown mare in the stable again; instantly clean and delicate... a bit like a royal horse.
"Eat, eat. I got promoted, you got promoted too."
"..."
In the interval of lunch.
Silas was preparing to find the Lord to advance his salary. Miss Rose came back.
Dressed as the main wife, wearing the exclusive black headscarf of the monastery, sure enough... compared to her nakedly shoving her breasts into his mouth, she was both pure and lustful.
"Mr. Silas, something happened to the caravan that was supposed to take me away."
"?"
Silas stopped chewing the egg.
"It must be that there are still people hiding behind those bandits you exterminated, running over wanting to attack me and that woman at the same time."
"..."
Silas swallowed the last part of the egg.
He already knew.
The Church probably didn't refer to the Protestant Church, but the Roman Church that still exists to this day. Their home field wasn't on this continent at all, maybe somewhere else.
Shouldn't be targeting him. Just want to encroach on this region. And as the Empress Elisa and the head of the Church Miss Rose, of course, would be key candidates for attention.
Then would the two of them be fine after resigning and becoming ordinary people?
No.
Referencing the corpse tide when knowing Elisa, if it really came to that, where to escape? Where to escape without being turned into a living corpse?
Then referencing after knowing Miss Slime, encountering the priest... villains who don't intend to let anyone go, people doing weird research do exist. Silas didn't care what other places became, but the place where he lived, this land, the region where Elisa was Empress, couldn't let them mess around.
"I've already checked; it should be the remaining... death squads or something. This time most likely just got news from somewhere, came to test the waters. Those bandits were cannon fodder used to test the waters."
"Does Mr. Silas want to change residence?"
"...Go where?"
"Mmh... how about moving to the Holy City? There are quite a few properties there."
Rose paused, "Bought with the money Mr. Silas left for me before; now the price has risen more than ten times. Elena is there too, and Leah should be back soon."
"Didn't see that coming, you are also good at doing business?"
"Ugh, this... at that time I was only concerned with other things."
Miss Rose looked away, clenching her toes, "It was all operated by my sister. She said everyone was afraid of the fog, but the fog would definitely disperse... after dispersing, no matter what, wouldn't lose money, could make a profit."
"Not going."
"Why? Compared to the Princess, my money exists because Mr. Silas gave it first, right?"
"Before I walked in front, now too."
"..."
"Could it be that Mr. Silas still thinks I'm very weak now?"
"Combat strength is hard to say, but in bed yes."
"?!"
The Nun's face flushed instantly, standing up, "Then let's do this! If Mr. Silas loses to me, go back with me."
Silas could be considered to have fought quite a few tricky opponents.
But fighting with his own wife was a first.
He was also very curious about what level the current Rose was after a hundred years.
Taking a wooden stick wrapped in soft pads, the handle part tied with iron sheets. In the uninhabited small forest, confronting Rose.
"..."
No good.
When Rose rushed over waving the derived tentacles, it was hard not to focus on her bouncing chest.
Whoosh!
Wooden stick swung.
The soft pad was stained with white ash; as long as hitting two vital points, Miss Rose had to be judged as losing.
Can only be impolite!
"..."
Miss Rose should also be very restrained; Silas's wanton gaze would make her embarrassed. Tentacles also didn't like being seen by Silas much.
Very easily, a white mark was left on the clothes at the stomach.
"Mr. Silas... so cruel?"
"Combat is not a child's play."
"Then I'm serious too!"
"?"
Seeing the Nun looking around, seeming to confirm absolutely no one. Pulled down the collar of the nun's habit, rushing over with a red face.
"Wait!"
No.
This is definitely a foul, right? Rushing over with bouncing tits? This is absolutely impossible to use on others, specifically used to deal with him?
"..."
"Why touch?!"
"Because you exposed it."
"Don't compare like this anymore... be serious!"
Wasn't it her suddenly coming up with this stupid move?
"..."
Seeing more tentacles derived from Miss Rose's right hand.
Silas also put down the wooden stick, similarly overflowing with only one but very hard tentacle capable of winding into the shape of a sword.
What's wrong with going to the Holy City?
Both women were there. Acquaintances were there too. Waiting seemed to be only a gentle land.
But could it be that without loading saves, he could only choose a comfortable place to live?
The strength gained, if not having the guts to use it to defend against enemies in reality, might as well give up continuing the game. In the game he could load saves, in reality, he could run away.
"..."
Rose lost without suspense. Maybe related to her not being able to use full strength. But even if used, she had no confidence in gaining an advantage under Silas.
She also knew why Silas stubbornly stayed here.
But completely didn't know... tentacles.
"Sigh, I said, this isn't because of doing that with you. Really not."
Silas won, but didn't say he had to comfort the red-eyed Miss Nun after winning.
Shouldn't have been so serious if he knew earlier.
"Even if not because of the recent me... must also be because of doing it before."
"No matter what the reason, if feeling painful and uncontrollable... just do as you did to me before, treat me as an antidote. No... I can't shoot..."
"..."
"I decided. I'm staying here."
"Mmh?"
"I'm not a Saintess now, nor Pope; I'll handle official business here. Get more intel through Elena, take the initiative to attack. And can also observe closely if Mr. Silas has problems. Don't worry, even if Mr. Silas completely turns into tentacles... I like it all the same."
"Won't happen."
"Doesn't matter if changed, no need to endure! Although I can't inject antidote, I can have... that."
"Said no, don't suddenly ride on me in the wild."
"What does it matter? Mr. Silas at that time would suddenly do that regardless of morning, noon, or night. I can too!"
"..."
Boomerang again?
Back then using sex as an antidote, now Rose is coming too.
"Ugh, I actually came back in the morning."
"When?"
"Anyway, just planned to say going out... found the Maid lady talking to Mr. Silas about a concubine. Mr. Silas, is there that kind of..."
"No."
Silas hugged Miss Rose's buttocks covered by the nun's habit.
"I-I meant to say, if Mr. Silas really wants to take a concubine... although a bit sad, but, but not impossible! I'm not that kind of woman with particularly strong possessiveness. But that Princess might not be as generous as me... probably like this, so..."
"..."
Really?
Should he remind her, butt sitting on the stomach, feeling like being flattened hard by her?
"Absolutely not. Having a wife like Miss Rose... already ask for nothing else."
"I'm not that good..."
The butt pressing the stomach moved away, her clothes were a bit messy, face also a bit red standing up.
"Just ended? Where's the antidote?"
"Mr. Silas looks very normal now. Besides... you really want to in the wild in broad daylight?! I won't do it!"
"..."
"Afterwards, go back for a trip, bring some luggage. Bring Elena over too. A-alright... go back to be that... antidote."
"..."
Silas didn't think about these.
Felt maybe should go to the Holy City with Rose, firstly to see acquaintances, secondly could also go see how Elisa lived after returning.
Letting someone wait for hundreds of years, appearing then finding out having a main wife... probably, after experiencing Miss Siya's matter, the guilt was heavier. Felt should compensate more.
"Speaking of which, the Maid lady has a good relationship with Mr. Silas, right? Seems treated as a sister?"
"Mmh... sort of. Treats me quite well."
"Indeed a very good person. Just before going to the restaurant to find Mr. Silas, she recommended to me... saying there is a mother and daughter very pitiful, seem to come from a very distant place, asking if I can let them work in the monastery. To avoid being bullied outside."
"...Mother and daughter?"
"Yes, clothes worn are very old. But very beautiful, especially breasts... bigger than mine... mgh, anyway just feel leaving them outside might really be bullied."
"..."
Silas paused. Standing on the spot.
"Mr. Silas?"
"Ah, so you decided to let them enter the monastery to work?"
"Haven't decided yet. Besides the monastery, I also know some other people. If they don't like being in the Church... some other jobs can also be considered. For example, Fiona's family... their family besides producing many good knights, now does the best fabric business in this country."
"..."
Silas didn't ask Miss Rose what the mother and daughter were named.
But thought of why the Maid lady came early in the morning to ask if he wanted a concubine. Is this kind of thing really just the Maid lady treating him too much as a little brother... giving goodwill?
Not that coincidental.
"They should have gone to the monastery now. Does Mr. Silas have anything to do? If nothing, come with me... but, this time can't do that kind of thing in the confession room! To do, do go to the room too. I as Archbishop also have work!"
"..."
Silas's heart beat very fast.
Could it be said that Miss Siya lived until now? That should be how long? Also hundreds of years, or longer?
"Mr. Silas? You really have something on your mind! Is it... don't want me to stay here?"
"No, I was just thinking Miss Rose is really beautiful today."
"Eh?"
"Staying here is quite good. Maybe the Church outside still wants to do something. I don't like playing hero that much either."
"Exactly! Before Mr. Silas always liked to do it alone... although current me might still not be able to beat, but at least was the former Saintess of the Noi Church..."
"..."
"Hah... how come suddenly... kiss? Still wearing nun's habit."
Miss Rose seemed very shy, worried about being seen. But difficult to conceal joy and dissatisfaction.
"..."
Silas thought the opposite.
Just told Miss Nun impossible to take a concubine.
But if that mother and daughter were Madam Melina and Miss Siya. He couldn't possibly not see them.
Can he brace himself to say didn't lie?
Indeed said never thought about taking a concubine. But didn't say the one taken might be a wife. Forget it, see first then talk! After seeing, there will always be a way.
But not going to see, knowing very likely it is yet turning a blind eye. Silas couldn't do such a thing.
