[Western Fantasy] Cardinal's Life Goal

"You didn't say that you kidnapped a big man from Oswald."

Aletech looked very unwilling to talk to Sears, and there was no trace of the majesty of the Pope on his face.At this moment, he was sitting in this wooden house, holding a block of wood in one hand and a blade in the other, dancing it around quickly.Delin looked at the knife shadow in surprise, his eyes could hardly catch the trajectory.But Alethek's expression was very calm, as if he was doing something very ordinary, as if he was just an ordinary old man.

Yet this in itself is not an ordinary thing.

Delin's slightly tense body relaxed unconsciously—Alethek's demeanor looked very much like the old believers of Oswald who loved him.He blinked his eyes, looked back at Sears who took off the mask, and asked the old man, "Do you know me?"

"Don't you know me, kid?" Aletech blew the sawdust off the block, stopped what he was doing, patted his side and motioned Delin to sit down—compared to Sears , he was obviously more kind to Delin, "I didn't expect you to escape from that prison."

Deling found strangely that he didn't seem to have any discomfort with mentioning that past, and Aletech's words were very soft, with a sense of comfort.The young man glanced at Sears, who was sitting across from the two of them, playing with a wooden sculpture of a house, and finally said: "I..."

"Shh!" The old man smiled and stuffed the newly carved scepter-shaped wooden sculpture into Delin's hand, "Each listener can only accept the whispers of one god, and those are each other's secrets." He said He took off his glasses and wiped them, then quickly changed the subject, "Are you planning to eat here?"

Sears interrupted: "Godfather, it's the Great Day of Prayer in a few days, and you can't eat meat—"

Delin, who was still thinking about the term "listener", looked up at the two of them in surprise.

Then he was even more surprised.

Alethek blushed like an ordinary old man being taught by his grandson, and even the last trace of mystery disappeared from him.He trembled for a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "Stubborn! The God of Chemiya said..."

"I don't think Chemier will be free to discuss this with you. It's okay to fool those old guys with this sentence." Sears did not show any weakness, as if he was not afraid of the majesty of the Pope at all.

It was only then that Delin understood what the so-called "person who was very gentle when meeting in private" was. The old man who had taken off the pope's robe would sit here like an old urchin and discuss this issue with his envoy. This battle is really...unexpected.

Seeing that the flames of battle between the two were about to burn himself, Delin quickly got up and ran to a wooden frame to grab a wooden sculpture to play with—it happened to be the boy learning ceremonial steps that he noticed earlier.This wood carving is very smooth to the touch, obviously the owner often plays with it.A certain guess flashed in Delin's mind, and he waved the thing in his hand to Aletech: "Your Majesty the Pope, who is this?"

The two people in the quarrel turned their heads at the same time, and their expressions changed.

The difference is that Sears' face turned blue, and a gentle smile bloomed on Aletech's face again.However, there was a strange taste in the smile.

"It's Sears, when he slipped out to learn ceremonial steps when he was a child, Zorafi almost called him a pig." Aletech raised his eyebrows, "Even Sears spent a lot of time learning dance steps." Not being able to do it for two months without stepping on your girlfriend's feet—isn't it imaginable?"

Sears' face became even more serious. He pulled Delin into his arms and tried to steal the wooden carving out... But the young man avoided it with serene eyes and agility, then looked carefully and nodded. Second: "Well, it's hard to imagine."

"But who is Zhuo Lafei?" Delin asked the second question.

Sears snatched the wood carving without a doubt, and put it in a less conspicuous position with a bad face: "Secret."

Aletech smiled more gently, he patted Delin's head and said: "Don't pay attention to his bad temper, let's go get something to eat - it's a shame that he can't find a wife!" Then the Pope agreed Glancing at Sears pointingly, he recovered his awe-inspiring uprightness and majesty, and pulled the boy into the depths of the wooden house.

Delin's expression was unnatural for a moment, and then obediently followed the old man and walked away.

It wasn't until the two of them couldn't see this place that Sears' expression softened a little bit.He smiled silently, and reached out to touch the wood carving, his eyes were soft.

"I'm too lazy to expose you, an old guy who hasn't learned how to dance yet." Sears said softly.

For Durling's sake, Sears eventually backed down.Roasted chicken for lunch... Delin felt that the meat in his stomach still smelled of Chemiya's divine power all afternoon.Sears and Aletech seemed to have something to talk about, so Delin didn't bother them, and rested in the wooden house.

Sears and Alethek sat drinking tea outside the cabin.

"Are you sure your father won't break your leg if he knows about this child?" His Excellency the Pope looked at the plum tree on the hillside in the distance expressionlessly at this moment, and didn't know what to think.

Sears was indifferent, "Godfather, pay attention to your identity when you speak - he probably doesn't even have time to take care of me. If it wasn't for me to bear the firepower from Tanguiya's side, and Baiye, they would not be able to handle it."

This is the truth. In the last life, Sears' father was almost exhausted.Especially after the secret door was opened, the gospel from Oswald immediately brought a greater advantage to the Three Vein Alliance.

But this time...not anymore.Sears thought so.

"Mountain Trial. You are going." Aletech looked at Sears next to him, and a deep taste was revealed in his eyes, "They are there, what's going on?"

Sears was silent for a moment, "Even if I have nothing else to do, I will go. You know, I can't let Delin go alone... There are too many people staring at him now." Because of my relationship, Sears Si added in his mind.

His Excellency the Pope twitched the corner of his mouth, "Then go. But it's best not to alarm them. The Holy Army will be dispatched in a few months, and this opportunity cannot be given to Sanmai."

"It's really the man in gray?" Sears frowned as if remembering something, "I remember that six years ago—he should have died in the altar."

Aletech didn't answer, he took a sip of tea and dumped it on the rocking chair: "Watch out for that child, the divine aura on him...is too strong."

The author has something to say: This is really wonderful and I don’t want to interrupt this kind of gentle family drama (hey, these chapters are just to ease it~ This is not the kind of serious drama

I think it’s almost sweet QAQ His Majesty Pope has also used soy sauce and can continue the plot. Most of the following will be two-person emotional scenes. Take your time and don’t worry. I think it’s not bad to be so sticky and ambiguous (x
