This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"I've made a note of that." Bai Yu nodded solemnly, "I'll summon Michaela when the time comes."

"Besides that, did she tell you anything else?"

"Then there will be none."

"No more?" Ye Yiyi was very surprised.

It is obvious that Alice is the most jealous of Bai Yu, and it can even be said that she has been jealous of him for fifty years.

She said she was deeply impressed by what she had said, and every time she thought about it over the past fifty years, she would remember the guy named Bai Yu.

It's impossible to say that I have no resentment no matter how you think about it.

But now that she finally met Bai Yu, why didn't she cause any trouble?

"Did I misunderstand her?" Ye Yiyi couldn't help but think, "She targeted the Saint, but it wasn't because of me?"

Just as he thought of this, he saw Alice walking out of the corridor and walking towards the two of them.

She had just gone to the Fairy Garden to ask the fairies some questions, and now it seemed like everything was done.

"Lady Alice."

Seeing Alice coming, Bai Yu immediately stood up and performed a standard knight's etiquette towards her.

"I forgot to thank you just now, please forgive me... Anyway, thank you for clearing up my confusion."

"It's okay." Alice smiled and waved at her. "Besides, the era of the land kingdoms ruled by kings has long ended. I'm not an adult, but just an unknown hero like you, working to remove the curse.

"So you don't have to be so respectful to me. Just be normal and call me Alice."

"..." Bai Yu was silent, but still insisted on completing the etiquette.

After hearing this, Ye Yiyi looked at Bai Yu's silent expression and couldn't help but begin to doubt her previous thoughts.

She knew that Bai Yu had a military character and attached great importance to honor, but she still emphasized this matter in front of her.

Which soldier would not feel concerned about the motherland that he once protected but was unable to prevent from disappearing?

Did Alice say this on purpose, or was she just being mean?

Or is this her way of attacking people?

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave for now."

Bai Yu spoke and nodded to Ye Yiyi.

"Micaela, I will arrive at the Lingering Temple soon. Then, I will summon you as promised."

"Okay, just call it."

Ye Yiyi nodded slightly and looked at Bai Yu's back as he walked towards the worship hall. Then he reacted and looked at Alice in horror.

The girl curled her lips and squinted her eyes as she stared at Bai Yu's back.

Only after Bai Yu completely disappeared from the Cursed Hall did she look down at Ye Yiyi.

"promise?"

"what happened?"

Ye Yiyi pretended to be calm and looked at her in confusion.

"Did I already tell you about this? The summoning and all?"

"Yeah, maybe I forgot." Alice nodded thoughtfully.

I don't believe what you said at all, really!

Ye Yiyi complained in his heart, then he sighed and said quietly:

"Alice...I think we should have a frank talk."

"What do you want to talk about?" The girl sat down in the seat where Bai Yu had just sat.

"You... do you like me?" Ye Yi looked into her black eyes, sorted out his words for a while, and finally chose to speak directly from his heart without beating around the bush.

"Like?" Alice tilted her head, as if a little confused.

She looked up at the window on the ceiling for a while, then answered seriously:

"If you had asked me this question when we met fifty years ago, I would have answered yes.

"Not counting the ten thousand years of sleep, if we only consider the present fifty years later, I don't think I'd have any feelings for someone.

She looked at Ye Yiyi with a calm smile.

"After all, this kind of feeling is just a physiological illusion caused by hormones. Once time passes, it will fade, or you may even realize it."

"Ah?" Ye Yiyi was a little confused when she heard this answer.

No? Are you serious? But you don't act like it.

Are you trying to say that I'm actually too narcissistic and self-indulgent?

"That……"

He was about to continue speaking when he suddenly heard the crisp sound of chain mail colliding in the corridor behind him.

He turned his head and saw the bald, bearded stranger walking out of the corridor wearing chain mail.

It was completely different from his appearance at the first sudden glance. At this moment, he had a metal book hanging on one side of his waist, a Morning Star Hammer on the other, and a bucket helmet in his arm.

This familiar shape finally reminded Ye Yiyi of an NPC in the game.

"It's the bearded man! The hymn teacher!" He was delighted.

In the game, this unsung hero who acts as a hymn explorer will appear in the Cursed Hall and share with players the various hymns he has obtained during his journey.

Among them, various auxiliary and recovery hymns can support players of the faith school to get through the more difficult early stage of the game.

Therefore, everyone in the game also calls him the Hymn Teacher or nicknames like Big Beard.

Seeing Ye Yiyi and Alice looking at them, the bearded man also sent greetings.

"Hello, I am an explorer, and I am honored to meet you today after ten thousand years.

"Years have passed, and the magic of the kings has quietly disappeared from the earth.

“And all kinds of emerging forces, like wildly growing seeds, are taking root and sprouting in the bordering land.

"Here are various hymns that I collected during my travels. They are said to be the power gained by praising all things with faith as the axis.

"I wonder if you two are interested?"

"Of course I'm interested." Ye Yiyi greeted him with a smile, completely forgetting Alice's existence.

Damn woman, can you please just go away? Don’t delay me from collecting everything!

Alice stared at the scene blankly, her expression gradually becoming confused.

Chapter 200 [Glorious Hymn of Overcoming Disasters]

"When I woke up, I was in a dilapidated cemetery at the foot of a mountain."

The hymn teacher, the bearded man, sat down at the long table and talked about his experiences with Ye Yiyi, who was full of anticipation, and Alice, who was silent.

"Before I could recover from my shock and figure out who I was, I was attacked by a hungry tiger."

"Giant tiger?"

Ye Yiyi curiously took out the giant tiger skin he got in the Fairy Mountains and gestured to the bearded man.

"Is this the tiger skin?"

The bearded man took the tiger skin, looked at it, and nodded with some regret.

"What a crude way of skinning... But yes, it's the same pattern. The giant tiger that attacked me was a head taller than me."

"It's the skin of a giant tiger from the Southern Continent. They typically grow to six or seven meters long. During the era of the Land Kingdoms, this type of tiger became extinct in the tenth year of the Great War."

Alice glanced at the tiger skin without saying a word, then suddenly looked at the surprised bearded man and spoke.

"You've just been resurrected, your strength is weakened, and you have no weapons. You should be no match for this giant tiger."

"Yes."

The bearded man sighed, "In my last life, I died in the mouth of a flying dragon. This life has just begun, but I am about to die in the mouth of a tiger. The fate of explorers has always been full of ups and downs, but fortunately, I am not destined to die.

"An old lady who was passing by rescued me."

"Mammy?" Ye Yiyi glanced at Alice and asked curiously, "Why do you call her Mammy?"

"She calls herself a believer and servant of the Glorious Virgin Mary."

The bearded man replied, "The so-called Matron is a name for a nun. She is a clergyman."

"It turns out to be a nun from the Glorious Virgin Mary." Ye Yiyi suddenly realized.

This glorious Holy Mother of Misfortunes is also one of the fleeing foreign gods.

However, compared to those foreign gods who are hiding here and there like rats crossing the street, the reputation and experience of this Virgin Mary are much better.

"Yes." The bearded man nodded, "I was also very surprised at first because I had never heard of this name.

"She drove the tiger away, treated my injuries, and brought me back to the church—or rather, the monastery—where she lived.

"There, I learned about the current situation of the border and learned a power called hymns from the old lady."

The bearded man placed the metal book around his waist flat on the table, spread out the pages, and pushed it to Ye Yiyi.

It was obviously the Psalm Book. Curious, he touched it and a light screen popped up.

[Glorious Hymn of Overcoming Disasters]

Requirements: Faith 24

Attribute correction: Faith B

Durability: 250/250

Item Description: A hymn praising the glorious Virgin Mary.

One of the hymnals held by the monks of the monastic sect of the Glorious Du'e Church.

A hymn that strengthens the faith in the glorious deliverance.

The so-called brilliance refers to behavior, thought, style, and grandeur.

The so-called overcoming disasters means to save people from suffering, rescue people from disasters, save lives, and save people from all sufferings.

Therefore, although the monks of the monastic sects grasped the essence of the faith, they did not achieve perfection.

Hymn passages to learn:

[Emergency Treatment], [Slight Recovery], [Recovery], [Deliver Poison Removal], [Deliver Fire Protection], [Deliver Demon Protection], [Deliver Thunder Protection], [Deliver Dark Protection], [Purge], [Fragrant Aroma], [Deliver Aura], [Bright Roar], [Flame Bomb], [Fingertip Fire], [Arc], [Radiant Lightning], [Burst]

"many!"

Ye Yiyi was surprised when he saw the column of hymn chapters that could be learned.

It was the first time he had seen a hymn book with so many hymn chapters, and his expression was a little blank for a moment.

Alice stared at Ye Yiyi's expression, pursed her lips, and couldn't help reaching out to pinch his face.

The latter reacted, shrank his head to avoid Alice's hand, and glared at her.

"what happened again?"

"Can you understand the words there?" Alice glanced at the Psalm Book, then looked at him dimly. "The words there are different from the ones we use."

"Uh..." Ye Yiyi's heart froze for a moment, but his expression remained calm.

"Just because I can't understand it doesn't mean I can't read it." He argued cunningly and pushed the hymn book back to the bearded man.

"I didn't consider that."

The bearded man said apologetically, "This is the language of the Rodno Empire, which borders the east. I spent a long time studying with the maids before I could barely read and write it.

"Are you interested? I can explain the meaning of these hymns to you."

"I'll let it go for now." Alice shook her head. "It takes quite a while to learn this power. I've only just woken up, so it's best to sort out my memories and consolidate the techniques of the kings that I haven't completely forgotten."

"It's a very safe approach." The bearded man nodded, then looked at Ye Yiyi.

"Does it take a lot of time to learn this?" Ye Yiyi looked at Alice with some confusion.
