【Western Fantasy】City of Light

Everyone knows that newlyweds and young couples always snooze a little bit.

Therefore, Alai lay in Ansel's arms with peace of mind, and fell asleep comfortably.

When he woke up refreshed, he found the priest's expression very painful.

Ansel thought about his words for a long time while Alai fell asleep defenseless.For a while, he was worried that the dark demon would really return to the world, and that the City of Light would be invaded by dark forces;

Thinking of my sister, I naturally thought of Yarlin.I don't know where this paladin is now. According to the distance, even if he travels day and night, he should still be some distance away from the king's capital. I hope there will be no mistakes on the way.

When his eyes fell on the sleeping little wolf, Ansel felt an unknown fire in his heart.

This little villain is really going to be pissed off by him!

This guy has done so many bad things behind his back, talking to himself, and told him all of them righteously after he finished!It made me worry about it here for a long time, but this little bastard used him as a pillow to sleep!

After watching the little bastard wake up heartlessly, he rubbed against him tiredly and wanted to kiss and hug him, how could Ansel care about him?

The young man knocked the little wolf on the head viciously: "Get off me quickly!"

"Oops—" Alai rolled under the bed clutching his head.

Why did the priest hit me again?Could it be, could it be that he has already got me, so he doesn't cherish me?Alai looked at the unhappy "wife" on the bed with aggrieved eyes.

Seeing Ansel thumping his stiff shoulders with a cold face, Alai was suddenly blessed. Could it be that his body is too much for him?

Thinking of this, the pure-hearted wolf boy immediately turned the corner.

It must be so!The priest is too shy, pretending to be fine even though his body is too much, how cute!

The boy under the bed was dreaming, and the priest on the bed didn't bother to talk to him.Still wearing yesterday's ugly wedding dress, Ansel didn't want to recall everything yesterday, so he took off all the dresses.

There were some clean clothes beside the bed, Ansel saw it, and reached out to get it.

Just as he was about to reach out to take off his clothes, he suddenly found that the little wolf sitting under the edge of the bed was opening his mouth wide, staring at him without blinking, his saliva was about to drip.

This guy, this face...why do people want to beat him up so much? !

Ansel drew the velvet curtain angrily.

Alai, who was sitting on the ground, wiped his saliva in disappointment. Suddenly, he thought of something, and his expression became excited again.

The wolf boy wagged his tail and said courteously to the heavy bed curtain: "Ansel, you haven't eaten all this time, you must be hungry, I'll get you some food!"

After speaking, Alai quickly jumped up and rushed out of the door.Because he disliked the slowness of the human form, he simply changed back to the wolf form, and a half-sized wolf rushed towards the kitchen of the summer palace like a wild horse.

Not long after, the little wolf came back with a picnic basket in his mouth.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw that the curtains in the room and the curtains on the bed had been hung up, and the well-dressed priest was sitting at the desk with his chin in his hands, wondering what he was thinking.

Because the vampires prepared him the clothes that secular nobles like to wear, so now Ansel does not look like a cold and holy priest, but a beautiful nobleman from the capital.

Alai knew that Ansel was indeed born in a noble family.His father, Lord Sadna, was the lord of a certain city, and his only descendants were Ansel and Tiana.Unexpectedly, this pair of siblings are born with supernatural powers, and many prophets even believe that the reincarnation of the goddess Aurora is very likely to be one of them.Therefore, quite a few pious believers regard the two as saviors.

It can be described as extremely glorious that Lord Sadner can bear such a pair of children.However, since the priests of the church must abandon their secular surnames and cannot marry and have children, the Sadna family's huge property and estate also lost their heirs, and it can only be said that blessings and disasters depend on each other.

Seeing that Ansel seemed to be thinking about something important, Alai didn't change back to his human form, but obediently walked to his lap with a basket in his mouth.

The blond-haired young man felt something furry rubbing against his calf. He lowered his head and glanced casually, thinking that someone kept a puppy. After a closer look, he realized that it was the wolf cub who had returned.

No matter what, you still have to eat, and you have hope to survive.

Ansel took the basket and stroked the little wolf's head.

Alai let out an excited "Aww", he found that the priest seemed to be treating his animal form more gently, so he managed not to change back into a human form, and had to climb up on the priest's lap to lie down.

Sure enough, Ansel did not push him down, and opened the basket on his own, letting the wolf cub lie on his lap.

Alai was so happy and howled "Aw", Ansel broke the bread in the basket and fed it to him bit by bit.

The little wolf was so delighted that he licked the bread and the bread-delivering finger, and nuzzled Ansel's hand to make him eat too.

This silly look made Ansel couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

The blond and blue-eyed man smiled like a pure and flawless fairy. Alai was stunned, and the bread crumbs fell from his mouth.

"Cough—" Ansel immediately put away his smiling face.

How could I be nice to him again inadvertently...

Perhaps it was because he loved Alai so much in the past, and the memories of last night were fragmented, seemingly real and illusory. He suddenly wanted to treat Alai as an enemy, and Ansel couldn't turn the corner for a while.

He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and then put on a straight face and ignored people.

It was too late when Alai came to his senses. He was only a wife and shy again, so he could only eat like a wolf.

There was bread in the basket, along with fresh salad and cream of mushroom soup.Ansel hadn't eaten for nearly two days, and soon his stomach was full.After eating, he put all the tableware into the basket, and the little wolf jumped on the floor with the basket in his mouth, and walked straight to the door.

Seeing his well-behaved appearance, Ansel asked casually, "Can I go out with you?"

Alai had no choice but to put down what was in his mouth, and timidly wagged his tail and replied, "The Earl said, you'd better not walk around outside..."

This was the expected answer, and Ansel was not angry.However, he really couldn't figure out what Earl Harriet's plan was.He didn't look too threatening now, though, and Ansel decided to put his question aside from his many pressing ones.

Pointing to the basket, he asked again, "Who made these foods? Do vampires also cook human food?"

This time, the little wolf hesitated for a long time, and did not answer for a long time.

Ansel's heart was beating as fast as a drum, and he stared into the little wolf's eyes and asked, "Are those missing girls? Are they still alive?"

Unexpectedly, the priest was so smart, Alai had no choice but to admit: "... Lily and the others cooked the meal."

Lily is the girl from Umpton who disappeared during the Midsummer Eve celebration.

Unexpectedly, the vampires really didn't kill these children!

Among so many bad things, there was finally some good news. Ansel immediately stood up, touched the top of the little wolf's head and asked, "How are they doing now? Are they still healthy?"

The little wolf nodded vigorously, Ansel felt relieved, and murmured: "I have to help them escape..."

Alai was startled, stood up quickly, grabbed the priest's clothes with his two front paws, and persuaded in a panic: "Ansel, don't do anything stupid!"

Ansel bent down and held his two paws, his green eyes stared straight at the little wolf's eyes: "Alai, aren't Lily and the others your friends? Do you have the heart to watch them stay in fear among a group of vampires every day?" ? Did you know that their parents were going crazy with self-blame!"

There was a tangled look in Alai's eyes. After a long silence, he hesitated and said, "Do you really want them to go back to Hampton?"

Ansel nodded, and continued to persuade the little wolf: "You have been passing letters between Umpton and Summer Palace, you must know how to bypass those dark magic circles in the woods, right?"

Alaimo lowered his head silently, which meant to admit it.

So, Ansel continued to coax him: "You think, it's useless for Lily and the others to stay here. With a captive like me, do the vampires still need these commoner children?"

The little wolf raised his head and said timidly, "It's because they are commoners that the Earl let them survive. Those priests and paladins who came to explore the way earlier have already..."

As soon as the words fell, Ansel's pupils suddenly dilated, and his whole body froze in place, as if frozen by ice magic.

Alai couldn't see the appearance of the blond priest, so he compromised almost immediately.

He stuck out his warm wolf tongue, licked Ansel's cold cheek recklessly, and said inarticulately: "Ansel, don't worry. As long as it is something you want to do, I will do it for you."

Those priests, as well as the paladins, have all been sacrificed...

Ansel fell limply to the floor, buried his head in his arms in remorse.

Seeing the priest's tears falling down like broken beads, Alai turned around anxiously, shaking out all the information he knew:

"I know that the earl will go on a long trip in two days. He is going to his prince's father. Many vampires in the summer palace will leave with him. When that day comes, I will take you to see Lily and the others immediately. Ansel, you Don't be sad, okay? When you feel bad, I feel bad too, I feel like my heart is going to be broken. "

The dead have passed away, but the living still have to work hard to survive and fight for a chance to survive!

Ansel took a deep breath and quietly wiped away his tears.He raised his head, forced a smile, and said in an unsteady voice, "...don't say silly things."

Seeing that his expression had softened, the little black wolf jumped into his arms as if he had no bones, wanting to act like a spoiled child.

The priest sighed and hugged him.

He really didn't know how to face this child, so he could only close his eyes not to look at him, and rubbed his hands indiscriminately.

Unexpectedly, by accident, the slender fingers poked Alai's ribs.The pup, who was comfortable at first, howled in pain immediately, it sounded like a sound that would only be made in extreme pain.

Ansel was startled, and quickly opened his eyes to check the situation.

He hadn't looked at Alai's beast shape before, but now that he was holding him in his arms at such a close distance, Ansel noticed that Alai's hair was all dry, and there were almost no ribs. hair.The pup was skinny and looked unhealthy.

Such a slender and thin body is definitely not because of his young age, but most of it is because he has not received good care.

It seems that Alai's life is not easy...

Ansel felt sour in his heart, and told himself not to soften his heart, and be tricked by this little villain again.

He put the little wolf on his lap and checked it over and over again, touching here and there, but Alai suddenly became awkward.

The young man originally wanted to get close to the priest, but seeing the other party examine his body so seriously without lust, a kind of self-esteem that belonged to a young male beast suddenly appeared in his heart.

Because his body is not strong enough, like a weak person who can't protect the female, Alai feels very ashamed, so he keeps struggling to escape.

The little thing writhed and swayed on his lap, and Ansel couldn't hold him down, so he had to let go.

As soon as he let go, the little wolf jumped down in a panic and went under the desk, no matter how much Ansel coaxed him, he would not come out.

"What's the matter with you?"

After a simple inspection, Ansel confirmed that Alai's body was indeed very weak and thin, and it shouldn't be a trick of acting like a baby.

He squatted helplessly in front of the desk and looked at the shivering Alai.No matter how nasty and stupid things Alai did before, now that such a small animal was huddled up and lying pitifully in a corner, the priest's compassion inevitably overflowed again.Besides, he watched Alai grow up, and he couldn't help but want to love him more.Seeing Alai's thin animal shape now, Ansel felt a little guilty.

If he cared about Alai more tenderly and considerately, maybe this kid wouldn't do such stupid things?

Alai didn't know that the priest's thoughts had changed.

As a werewolf, Alai knows very well that only the most vigorous and healthy males can win the favor of females.However, he was sent away from the tribe since he was a child, away from the care of his relatives, and became a spy at a young age. He was always in fear, and he could barely see the human form, but the animal form was too thin.

If a wolf like him was in the tribe, it would be impossible for him to have the opportunity to mate with a beautiful partner like Ansel.

Just thinking of the scene of Ansel switching to the arms of other male wolves made Alai's nose sore.The little wolf turned his head aggrieved, and licked the dry hair on his body vigorously, trying to make them look more majestic.

Beside the desk, Ansel almost knelt on the floor.He also hoped that the little wolf could help him in the future, and with a little thought, he lowered his voice and coaxed gently: "Alai? Come out quickly, it's okay, I don't despise you."

"Oh..." Alai called weakly, as if asking "Really?"

"Really." Ansel stretched out his hand, "when you were young, old Toby brought you to church to ask me for help. You were thin and dark, like a little beggar from the country. It's much uglier than it is now. At that time, wasn't I the one who took care of you?"

For any teenager with sensitive self-esteem, what he fears most is that adults will take out his childhood memories one by one.Alai really didn't want his beloved priest to recall his stupidity when he was a child, so he hurriedly rushed out from under the desk, and kept pushing Ansel's chin with his fluffy head, begging him to stop talking.

"Hehe—" A soft and clear laughter came from above his head, and Alai realized belatedly that he was actually tricked out by the priest just like that!

Ansel hugged him in his arms amusedly, and gently scratched the root of his tail with his slender, white fingers: "You are still young, when you grow up, you will become pretty."

The base of the tail was gently caressed, and the little wolf whimpered so comfortably.After a while, he suddenly thought of a good idea.

I saw the fluffy wolf's ears move, the little wolf's whole body trembled suddenly, and the black hair suddenly turned red like flames!

This was the first time Ansel had seen the werewolf transformation technique, and he was caught off guard by this weird red-haired wolf cub, and he froze in place stupidly.

The little wolf lay triumphantly in his arms, shrank his neck and shook his red pointed ears, his silver-gray round eyes were piercing, looking at the priest with great anticipation.

Could it be that……

Ansel covered his mouth and said in disbelief, "Are you imitating Yarlin?"

Paladin Yarlin's hair is so fiery red, as impulsive and straightforward as his character, but why did the little wolf suddenly think of him?

Seeing that the priest didn't seem to be attracted, Alai was extremely disappointed. His eyes wet and his hair turned black again.

Alai is a male beast. He yearns for Arlin, who is strong in body and martial arts, and envies the friendship between Arlin and Ansel.So just now he suddenly thought, is it possible to imitate Yarlin's red hair to please the priest?

Unexpectedly, he was self-defeating, not only failed to please Ansel, but also made himself look like a fool!

The little wolf pursed his mouth and looked hopeless, lying lifelessly in Ansel's arms.

Ansel sighed, but his heart softened even more.

He stroked the top of Alai's head very gently, and as long as he gently scratched the place between the ears of the two wolves, the little wolf would wag its tail comfortably.

The atmosphere between the two of them was much lighter than in the morning. An imperceptible warmth and sweetness were quietly flowing in the fresh air. The time around seemed to slow down, wrapping the two of them softly.

After being gently comforted by Ansel for a while, Alai finally overcame the young man's shyness, and took the initiative to rub his head against the priest's palm.

"Feeling better?" Ansel held Alai's two paws and lifted him up, so that their eyes were on the same level.

"Hmm..." Alai stared at the priest's beautiful green eyes bewilderedly.

So, Ansel smiled faintly, his appearance was pure and beautiful, like lilies swaying in the wind in a spring garden.

There is such beauty in this world.The wolf boy suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

It seemed that in the next second, Ansel would shatter piece by piece before his eyes, and then disappear without a trace.

Unreasonable panic engulfed Alai's heart like a tide, and he suddenly changed back to human form, and stretched out his arms to wrap Ansel's neck tightly.

It’s really rare to see people transforming into living beings. Ansel was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: “It turns out that you can’t make clothes when transforming into orcs...you should put on clothes.”

Alai shook his head and said coquettishly, "I just want to hug you like this!"

The priest had no choice but to lift him up with his bare buttocks, and walked back to the bed and sat down step by step.

Because he has always treated Alai as a child, he is very used to the little wolf's childish behavior, but Alai feels very embarrassed because of the series of actions just now.

Obviously wanting to appear masculine, but when facing the gentle Ansel, he can't help but act like a baby...

Alai let go of his arms, stared into the eyes of the priest and said seriously: "Ansel, wait for me, wait until I grow up a little bit, okay? My parents, brothers and sisters, their beast shapes are very majestic When there is wind on the grassland, their wolf fur will shimmer like satin—the most expensive kind of satin sold in the city! So, so I will definitely be very handsome when I grow up!"

"Really?" Ansel pinched his little nose, and there was a little smile on the corner of his mouth, which was very pretty.

The little wolf gave a heavy "hmm" and said excitedly: "When I was young, I always wanted to escape from the tribe and go outside to play. But now I feel that my home is very good, I really want to take you Go to my house and have a look. Did you know? There is also a church near my tribe, and you can also go there to be a priest!"

Ansel was still smiling at first, but at the end, the beautiful smile froze on his face.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his clear tone became extremely difficult and bitter:

"I... last night... I tarnished the glory of the goddess, and I am no longer qualified to be her priest."

Alai immediately shut his mouth.

The next few days remained calm. Earl Harriet and the others seemed to be preparing for a long journey, and no one came to disturb the "newlyweds".There was no sign of Ansel's divine power recovering for a long time, so he stayed in the room obediently, waiting for a suitable opportunity.

As for Alai, he cleverly avoided topics that Ansel didn't like, took good care of him every day, told him stories about his hometown, and poured out the love words that had been hidden in his heart before.

Ansel had mixed feelings about him.

In the past, he had always taken care of Alai as his younger brother. Even if he was betrayed at a critical moment, he couldn't really hate the little wolf.

Because everything Alai does, in the final analysis, is for him.It's just that the positions of the two are different, so Alai chose a way he could not accept.

If a person, with good intentions, accidentally makes a big mistake, is he guilty or innocent?

Ansel was not a judge of right and wrong, nor an eloquent philosopher.He really couldn't figure it out, so Yourou could only continue to sink deeper and deeper into the young man's passionate love show day after day...

He knows that a good cause will also bear a bitter fruit. The taste of this bitter fruit is very sweet, but also very bitter...

Meanwhile, the escape plan continues in secret.

Because the source of food is different from that of the vampires, Ansel and Alai have always eaten the dishes cooked by Lily and the others.Alai ran around the palace every day with a small basket in his mouth, and none of the vampires came to check the dishes in it.As a result, the girls gradually became more courageous, and they began to include small notes in the dishes, asking Alai to bring them to the priest.

After reading these beautifully written text messages, Ansel was really relieved.The girls are in good physical and psychological condition, and they are brave and optimistic children.

Next, just wait patiently until the day when the earl goes out to help the girls escape.

Alai had no problem with that.Because Ansel said that as long as the girls go home, he can stay in the summer palace as a hostage.Alai only cared about Ansel, as long as Ansel was willing to stay by his side, he didn't care whether the others came or left.

However, there was one thing that surprised Ansel.He repeatedly mentioned the escape plan in the note, but the girls always avoided this crucial event intentionally or unintentionally

—it's almost as if they don't want to leave here.

The content that the small note can carry is too limited, so we can only wait until the day we meet to find out.

Ansel was like a summer bug in winter, quietly dormant in the palace, and finally waited for the day when the earl went away.

It was midnight, and the moon and stars in the sky were extremely dim.Countless gigantic bats swiftly bypassed the thorny jungle and flew straight to the misty forest in the west, where the vampire clan's lair was and where Prince Harriet was.

At daybreak, Alai transformed into a human form and woke up the priest.During this period of time, the relationship between the two has eased a lot, and they have become a lot closer. As long as he turns into a beast shape, he is allowed to sleep on the bed.

Throughout the night, Ansel was highly nervous, almost unable to sleep at night.Now he sat up when Alai called him.

The little wolf was still a little worried, and at the end he was still persuading the priest to stay in the room and let him lead the girls away by himself.

But Ansel really didn't dare to trust others any more, and insisted on watching those children leave by himself.

Alai couldn't resist him, so he took the priest out.

It was the first time Ansel stepped out of the room since being captured.Although the room was not locked, Ansel could only stay in the room because Alai said that the Earl didn't want him to go out.

Alai was very loyal to the devil's contract, and he almost completely obeyed the earl's words. He was afraid that after breaking the contract, he would be punished by Cynthia and take away some organs.

Ansel had no intention of appreciating the gorgeous interior of the royal palace, he followed behind Alai without missing a step, in order to avoid waking up the few vampires who were still here, he did not dare to make any noise while walking.

After passing through most of the palace, the two finally came to the big bedroom where the girls were kept.

Will today's escape operation be successful?
