Chapter 1226: Chapter 553: "Rascal" Behavior

He kept looking for various reasons to go out, but in the end, he trapped himself in this cage he crafted with his own hands.

If put in the same position, Herbert certainly wouldn’t be able to do the same as him.

"I respect the Archbishop, so I try not to deceive him, but at the same time, there are some matters involving the Divine Spirit... I really cannot completely disclose them to him."

Herbert’s explanation was accepted by Ophidia on the spot, who nodded knowingly and sighed softly, "Since it’s related to the Divine Spirit, I can understand your dilemma."

She understands much better than others just how troublesome it is to get involved with the Divine Spirit.

Contacting the Divine Spirit is like dancing on the edge of a knife; one misstep and you’ll fall into a myriad of disasters, so it’s completely understandable that Herbert doesn’t want to take unnecessary risks.

"Well, since that’s the case... I can give you some advice."

Ophidia looked at Herbert, nodding slowly, and said seriously, "Just like before, don’t say anything."

"Rather than telling half and making him concerned, it’s better to say nothing from the beginning."

"As long as he doesn’t ask, you don’t say anything."

"And if he insists on asking... you still say nothing."

Her approach is very simple, basically summarized in one sentence — I absolutely won’t tell you anything ahhhh!!!

Herbert braced himself through sheer will!

Herbert blinked, didn’t expect Ophidia’s method to be so straightforward and crude, hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn’t this, uh, a bit shameless?"

"What’s wrong with being shameless? Could he really force you to talk otherwise?"

Ophidia snorted indifferently, "If he really pressures you to talk, just say I told you to do so, and let him come and ask me if there are any issues."

Herbert reluctantly nodded, accepting her suggestion.

Alright then, refer him to Sister Ao if needed.

After getting the assurance from the Ashen Bishop, an esteemed contributor to the Monastery, this small dilemma was indeed resolved satisfactorily.

And after solving this troublesome matter, Herbert instinctively wanted to go find the Archbishop and deal with this matter completely.

However, before he took a step, he instinctively sensed danger.

Then, he heard a seemingly calm and cool voice.

"So, you came to find me just for these things?"

!!!

"No, of course not!"

Herbert immediately realized he almost forgot something, and said earnestly, "I actually came to see you, the Archbishop stuff is actually not important at all."

"Who cares about that old man, he’s not important at all!"

"You must be tired from reading, your shoulders must be quite sore! Let me serve you with a good massage."

He strode behind Ophidia, considerately placed both hands on her shoulders, and began to knead with care.

???

"You..."

Ophidia originally instinctively wanted to resist and dodge, but when the warm hands landed on her shoulders, she couldn’t say anything.

Under the seemingly magic kneading, she silently closed her eyes, quietly enjoying this warmth.

And naturally, she sensed the subtle downward movement of those two hands during the massage — they were blatantly testing, without the slightest cover.

She slightly opened her eyes, then seemed to think of something, and closed them again silently.

"This is just a massage."

"Yeah, just a massage."

"I’ve helped him so much, this is the reward I deserve... yeah."

...

...

While Herbert and Ophidia were engaging in a potentially abductable special massage, the Underground Sanctuary was a different scene.

The Archbishop was sitting with a serious face, eyes closed and brows furrowed, seemingly contemplating something important.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and muttered quietly:

"Why isn’t that kid here yet?"

"I’ve prepared thirty stories to tell him... Where is he?"

The lonely elderly person cried out desperately:

"Where?!?"
