[Western Fantasy] Cardinal's Life Goal

The small town of Burke, a subsidiary area of ​​the Holy See of Chemiye, is a peaceful seaside town.

Because it was late autumn, the weather was a little bit cold. The people passing by had already put on long clothes, and the carriages had also hung thicker curtains to protect them from the wind.This is where Chemiye's scepter points. The doorways of the shops on both sides of the street are engraved with the nine-petal Immortal Roland religious emblem, and the wind chimes ring softly when the breeze blows.

"Chaluo" is a clothing store with a large storefront, and the owner is a simple and enthusiastic couple.Through the living room, you can enter a small courtyard of a home.In the room on the far right side of the courtyard, thick cloth curtains were drawn, and a young man was sitting at a wooden table and meditating.

"Derlin, are you ready?" A voice came from the yard.

"En." The young man responded softly, combed his loose black hair, and pushed the door out.

It was dusk, and the golden light shone on the boy's side.A slim black tuxedo, slim pants, and black high-soled ankle boots.The boy has an oriental face, and the lines seem to have been drawn from a painting.Even if he is still a little bit young, he can imagine that he must be a handsome man in the future.

The one who called him was Kobeje, the son of the owner of the "Tara", a big boy with freckles.He was also dressed in formal attire, and he dragged Delin out frizzily, muttering, "What does Master Carian mean?——I always thought that arrogance is a common problem of noble young masters."

"..." The young man looked at his pinched wrist, staggered to keep up with the pace, and finally looked away helplessly.He didn't want this guy to become more wordy.

There are not many things in the world that can make Delin feel intimidated, and Kobeje is lucky to be at the bottom.

"But I still don't understand why the young master is taking such good care of us despicable civilians—" Kobezhe slightly raised his voice when he said the word despicable, but he quickly restrained himself as if remembering something He raised his voice: "—he had a premonition that you would definitely be admitted to Grand Chemie College? Is it possible? Besides, there is no need to take us to the noble party, right?"

Grand Chermie College is the seminary of the Holy See of Chemie, and it is the place that all young people under the splendor of the Holy See most want to go to.Half a month ago, Delin received the admission paperwork from the academy, which made Cha Luo, who was born as a adoptive mother (the clothing store is naturally named after the hostess), excitedly kissed the boy several times. Show off all the way to the north of Zhenbei.

The main reason is that five years ago, almost everyone sneered at Cha Luo for taking in this mysterious and dangerous (made up by people's imagination) boy.It was a cold winter, and Delin, holding a wet package, came from the direction of the beach, staggered into the town, and passed out on the side of the road.

There are countless fatal wounds on his body, countless salt particles are adsorbed on the wounds, it is obvious that he is a survivor who ran from the sea.Only Chaluo Ken took him in, so Chaluo always thought that all of Delin's achievements were the glory of her wisdom and kindness.

Facts have proved that he is indeed a very good boy.

Karian is a classmate of Kobezhe and Delin, the young master of a fallen nobleman.Tonight, he invited the two teenagers to the "nobility's carnival"—the main purpose was to invite Dolin, and Kobejer was incidental.

The carriage has already stopped at the entrance of Chaluo Clothing Store.Kobezhe and Delin got into the car one after the other, and the driver thoughtfully hung up the curtains for them.

"How long is it going to be?" asked Kobeci, rather uncomfortable.

"It will take about two hours to go to Liuhui City. The two young masters should take a rest first."

In the carriage, Kobezhe looked around restlessly, while Delin, who was sitting on the cotton blanket, closed his eyes without interest.

……

Liuhui City, the residence of the city lord.

"Dear Delin, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as he got out of the car, Delin heard a voice from the side of the carriage.Master Carian was wearing a neat formal suit today, and his blond hair was combed back meticulously.It doesn't look like the slightest bit of anger.

Delin gave a noble salute with a flat expression, and there was no mistake in the arc of his bow and the tone of apology: "I'm sorry...Master Carian. It seems that the Lord Chemiye is not as considerate of me as you are... On the way, we were trapped by the muddy road for a long time."

Karian showed a smile: "I'm very happy that you can come. Then you... Brother Ling, come in with me."

It was indeed very lively tonight. There were luxurious carriages parked outside the city lord's mansion, and there were well-dressed teenagers or young people everywhere, but there was no noise at all.However, Delin didn't think that this would be a formal noble party - nothing else, just because there was no nine-petal immortal Roland serving outside the hall.

This discovery made Delin feel a little uncomfortable, because he already knew the filth in the dark of the Holy See.

The vague uneasiness reached its peak after quietly observing for four weeks. Delin didn't expect Carrian to be such a stupid and short-sighted person. ——Boys are everywhere, including those beautiful boys who are at a loss and are led behind by the nobles.Anyone who is smart can figure out what this is for.

But he has reasons he can't refuse. ——Even if only before touching the bottom line of Delin.

Sensing the meaningful gaze from Karian, Delin subconsciously touched the outside of his right leg with his slightly sweaty right palm, but did not touch anything hard.Delin smiled faintly, and whispered to Karian: "Master Karian... Kobezhe may be feeling unwell, can you..."

Kobezhe is a fool, so naturally he doesn't understand these things, but Delin has to think about him.The big freckled boy's eyes widened, but he was finally defeated by Delin's cold warning eyes.

"Don't worry." Karian didn't even look at Kobezhe, showing a flawless smile: "Do you understand Delin?"

In a room in the City Lord's Mansion, the host of the party was standing uneasy in a corner, lowering his head in fear.

The lively atmosphere outside the mansion did not spread here.In the room where red candles flickered, a man in a white robe embroidered with red patterns could be vaguely seen standing by the window.

"Master Royal Envoy, who are you here tonight..." City Lord Liuhui's eyes fell on the left hand of the other party behind his back - the four-petal Roland representing divine power bloomed on the ring of the middle finger of the man's right hand, every detail They are all carved with deep meaning.

The future Cardinal...how could he come to this small marginal city?

The envoy turned around slowly, the golden mask on his face had sharp edges.It can be vaguely seen from the outline that this is just a teenager.He smiled, and his eyes fell on the city lord's sweaty face.

"I just came to rest for a while." The messenger looked thoughtfully at the uneasy man in front of him: "There will be a good show tonight, won't it?"

Lord Yushangshenshi flipped through his memories—if he remembered correctly, that person should be here, tonight.

And all he needs to do is...
