God's family

"I'm sorry, it was indeed our negligence to let you encounter such danger on our territory." The blond elf raised his hand to touch his chest, and gracefully performed an elf's etiquette, his tone was indifferent and reserved, showing alienation.

Roger smiled reluctantly, as an answer, and handed over the task of real foreign negotiations to the more eloquent and communicative businessman Canum, while he turned his worried eyes to the sleeping Lycent on the bed next to him. , frowning slightly.

Although he was told that Nexant was fine, but passed out after the battle was over and he was exhausted due to his severe injuries and exhaustion of energy, Roger, who still had lingering fears, did not dare to be careless in the slightest, preferring to stay by his bedside Keep an eye on his condition at all times, for fear that if he leaves for a while, Nexant's condition will repeat itself again.

After a while, the elf who had finished being polite with Kanum did not leave, but turned his attention to Roger again, with undisguised curiosity in his blue eyes, "Are you a priest who serves human gods? "

"...uh." Roger choked for a moment, glanced at Canum, who was also full of doubts but respectful, and nodded with difficulty, "Yes... yes."

"It's the first time I've seen a priest serving a god by a human being." The elf's eyes were full of sincerity and friendliness, and he saluted Roger again, which forced Roger to stand up, and he was in a hurry to repeat the scriptures. He replied politely, "No matter what your purpose of coming to our clan is, priests who serve God are worthy of our respect."

Roger felt that he was under a lot of pressure, so he tried his best to behave dignified and not to discredit the human priest.

"Is that magical technique just a priest's healing technique?" The topic was opened again, and the elf's curiosity was still overflowing. "I felt the power of sacred faith in it."

"Yes, that is indeed a healing technique." Roger nodded, after scanning his skill list to confirm.

"So, the healing technique is only effective for humans, or is it also effective for other races?" The elf's question became more and more tricky.

"...Sorry, I don't know about this. This is my first time... Cough, I mean, I have never used healing on other races." Roger answered bravely.

"That's true." The elf nodded clearly and smiled, "Generally, the priests live in the temple, and it is rare to see priests traveling. This is probably the first time you have left the temple to travel, right?"

"...This is indeed my first trip away from my hometown." Roger replied frankly, slightly changing the concept, but the elf didn't notice it.

"I have always believed that traveling is the best way to understand the world. It is much more effective than staying indoors and simply reading classics..." The elf was a little emotional, and was interrupted by the noise outside the house before he could finish speaking.

The door of the room opened, and Leon was pushed in staggeringly, with a wry smile on his face, and behind him was a beautiful elf girl with raised eyebrows and extremely arrogant.

"You were injured in our elven territory, that's why we allowed you to enter the settlement to recuperate, but that doesn't mean you can act freely in the village!"

"Hey, don't be so serious, I just walked around casually, and I didn't go to any strictly prohibited places..." Leon smiled shyly.

"If you go, it will be too late!" The elf girl gave Leon a hard look, she was too lazy to pay attention to him, instead she turned to the elf and saluted.The originally sturdy attitude suddenly changed to respectful and docile—Roger could feel that the status of the elves was obviously very high from her every move——the elf girl made a gesture of invitation and smiled, "The elder invites you to the conference hall, Your Highness Theodore, and you should not have too much contact with foreigners."

"I don't need you to tell me what I want to do, Rose." The elf named Theodore was a little helpless, although his tone was still gentle and flat, but his face was straight, "Also, this Mr. Roger is a priest of human gods, He has a noble status, and we should give him courtesy, so please don't say such things again."

"...Yes, Your Highness." Rose bowed her head humbly again, but Roger didn't think she had changed her mind, and being a noble human priest or something, Roger felt that this identity really didn't suit him...

After politely apologizing to Roger and the others, Theodore and Rose left the room one after the other, and the three of Roger in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief, of course, excluding Lai who was still in a coma. Center.

Afterwards, Kanum, who was tied up in front of Roger, who was newly acquired the priesthood, also bid farewell in a hurry, and went to settle his own caravan. Leon walked to the bedside, looked at the condition of Lesant, and then turned his head to look at Roger up and down. , "Speaking of...are you a mage or a priest?"

"...I can't figure it out now." Roger smiled wryly and touched his bracelet, shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever, as long as it can help you."

"It's more than helpful!" Leon held his chest exaggeratedly, "At first I thought that this guy, Nexant, was lucky enough to be able to dig treasures in a little-known village and find a rich A dwarf-like intuition for equipment, and a mage who also learned the skills of a pharmacist, turned around and you became a priest again! Oh my god! This is a priest! He is a precious and dying existence who never goes out of the temple, fearing what will happen to him Ah!—Hey!" He put his hand on Roger's shoulder, and Leon's expression suddenly calmed down, his originally enthusiastic golden red eyes turned hard and sharp at this moment, full of heart-wrenching suspicion, "Who are you? who?"

Roger's body froze, and he didn't know whether it was because of Leon's sudden malice or the question that caught him off guard, but before he could answer, Leon was hit hard on the back of the head by a heavy object—then It was the wooden cup that Roger had just placed on Nexant's bedside.

Grabbing Roger's neck with his backhand, Leon turned around vigilantly, and touched the hilt of the sword at his waist with his other hand, but unexpectedly, what he saw was Lesant who supported his body on his elbow and hadn't withdrawn his throwing action yet.The three of them were silent for a moment, Laycent hadn't recovered yet, and was panting heavily because of the violent action just now; Roger was struggling to breathe because of being strangled by the neck; and Leon... was completely speechless .

"Let go of Roger!" Nexant, who had recovered his breath, spoke first. His black eyes were fierce and sharp, and Leon's scalp felt a little numb when he saw it. He involuntarily let go of Roger's neck, and waited until Roger He took a few steps back in an instant, and reacted after keeping a safe distance from him.

"Lexant! What the hell are you doing! I'm helping you!" Leon gritted his teeth, he was so angry that he was treated like a donkey's liver and lungs, "This Roger is definitely not a commoner in an ordinary village! A commoner who is a pharmacist and a mage will choose equipment or a priest?! You are still protecting him! Do you know how dangerous you are now! Many people think you are not pleasing to the eye and want to kill you! Maybe this guy is who Sent!"

"I believe him, and this has nothing to do with you." Lacente sat up slowly, his expression unchanged, and even showing a hint of impatience.

"Nothing with me—" Leon choked for a moment, opened his mouth for a long time, and then choked out the next sentence, "At least, he lied to you, he must be hiding something!"

"I don't care." Lacente was still stubborn, "Who I want to be with is my own business."

"If you are just Nexant, of course it is your own business! But the problem is that you are not!" Leon clenched his fists, his golden-red eyes were full of anger and disappointment, "You are worthy of those who have high expectations for you People?! My brother, my father—Lexant! There must be a limit to self-will!"

"Having high hopes?" Laycent was unmoved, but curled his lips in disdain and irony, "That was all imposed on me by you, wasn't it? It has nothing to do with me."

Leon stared at Nexant for a long time, and finally said "I've had enough of you!", turned around and quickly left the room, slamming the door heavily, and the loud noise lingering in his ears made the room even more silent.

Roger, who had been questioned from the protagonist to a supporting role, looked at everything in shock and had no room to intervene. Even after Leon slammed the door and left, he still couldn't react to the development of the situation.

However, Nexant, who obviously took his lead position and turned into the other party in the dispute, was not at all touched by Leon's departure. Instead, he stood up as if nothing had happened, walked towards Roger, and gently She caressed his still aching neck.

"Does it hurt? I'm sorry, I woke up a little late... If you still feel uncomfortable, I'll help you teach Leon a lesson..." The indifference faded like a tide, and the worry and pity in the black eyes were extremely real , Laycent's movements were cautious, and it was self-evident that he was apprehensive and flattering.

"No, no need... I'm fine..." Roger replied somewhat blankly, still unable to distinguish between the current one—or this one he has always been familiar with, and the one just now who treated Leon so indifferently that he was completely unreasonable. Lesant combined.

Is it possible for a person to behave so abruptly to two extremes?This...is not normal at all? !
