God's family

Although Nexant completely dismissed the idea of ​​leaving, Roger still felt that it was necessary to express his dissatisfaction to him.So, after being "severely" threatened once, Roger forcefully drove away Lesant who wanted to stay overnight.

Of course, Nexant, who realized that he had already achieved his goal, did not dare to push himself too far. He was in a good mood for a moment, and then he was easily blasted away. Come and take him into the palace in person.

For some reason, Roger always has the feeling that "Once the Houmen enter the deep sea, the strong man will never return".

Realizing that he might not be able to return to this hotel in the future, Roger packed his luggage before washing up and going to sleep, but he did not expect to see Jeffrey the staff with a sympathetic expression in his sleep.

"I didn't expect you to be entangled by that guy..." Although the blond boy didn't say it directly, Roger still immediately realized that he was referring to Lesant.Sure enough, Nexant and Jeffrey knew each other.

"However, I really didn't expect him to become like this, so that I didn't recognize him! If he didn't deliberately leak his breath tonight, I really couldn't connect that stupid human being with him... I really don't know how he became like this, I really slept for too long..."

"He...is an artifact that once served human gods like you?" Roger asked carefully, to prove his guess.

"Well, yes! But he is different from me. I represent the bright side of divinity, while he represents the dark side, so his personality is definitely not as pleasing as mine!" Jeffrey tilted his head. , showing off his cuteness without any scruples——Since he woke up, his personality has gradually become lively, and sometimes it really makes Roger uncomfortable.

"Although I personally don't like him very much, probably because of the repulsion of his own attributes, and his personality is really annoying, but no matter what, he has saved me, or it should be said... to replace me. I went to die." Jeffrey's blue eyes dimmed, with a bit of nostalgia and frustration, "I am also very happy to see him again and see that he is still alive... He likes you very much, you It will be good for him, right?"

"Well...I...will." The amount of information in Jeffrey's words was slightly larger, and his eyes were full of pleading pity. Roger froze for a moment, and only then did he turn the "try his best" that he planned to say into affirmation.

So he imagined that in order to fulfill his lover, he died instead of his lover's lover... This is not in line with Nexant's character at all, right? !If it was Nexant, it would be more appropriate to drag everyone to die together?

"If you say that, I'm relieved!" Jeffrey smiled sweetly, gratified and thankful, "Will he be happy in this way? You will be safe too! I like you very much, and I don't want to Seeing you... ahahaha, in short, there will be no problem if you look at it this way!"

"...Why do you feel a little bad..." Roger raised his hand to cover his face, always feeling as if he was being entangled by something terrible, and the foreground was gloomy, "Hey, since you and Lacente belong to human gods, Why are you living here? If I'm not mistaken, the gods are looking for you, will you...will you go back?"

Hearing Roger's question, Jeffrey's smile froze, with a bitterness on his face, "I don't know him—that's what Nexant thought, but if it was me, I'd rather choose self-destruction than Don't go back." After a pause, Jeffrey's tone was full of cold and tenacious will, "The existence I was loyal to is no longer there, and I have no ability or position to avenge him, but I can do it —never serve the guy who killed him!"

Accompanied by Jeffrey's words, the surging wind and waves forced Roger to take a few steps back, and the heavy coercion spread, making Roger almost unable to think or utter any words.This is the first time that Roger has really seen how powerful the so-called "artifact" is. Even though he has a child's appearance, even though he has always been approachable, even if he easily admits Roger's right to use it, the artifact is always An artifact, it is high above and powerful, and it is simply beyond the control of human beings.

"...Sorry, I'm probably a little out of control." Jeffrey's voice came through the hurricane, his blond hair and white clothes were flying in a mess. Although his appearance was still beautiful and cute, there was already a barrier in his eyes Indifference thousands of miles away - that is the so-called divinity. "About this matter, I don't want to mention or even recall it anymore, is that okay?"

"...Of course... yes, I'm overdoing it." Roger replied with difficulty, and then, just as he saw Jeffrey's mouth raised, he was expelled from Jeffrey's spiritual realm, standing straight in the After sitting on the bed for a long time, I suddenly realized that I was sweating profusely.

Roger felt that he seemed to have touched something that he should never have touched.That was not the bloody plot he imagined, but a crueler truth.

Curiosity killed the cat. Although I'm not a cat, it's better not to be too curious... Silently warned himself, Roger looked at the bracelet on his wrist in a daze, and it took a long time before he lay down again, thinking Regarding tonight's experience, I packed it up and threw it into the recycling bin. I made up my mind not to take it out and read it again for the rest of my life.

As a human being, one must have the self-awareness of being a human being. Those messages related to the gods should be kept at a respectful distance...

Probably because it was too late last night to toss and turn, Roger didn't open his eyes for a long time the next morning. As for when he opened his eyes and saw Lycent's enlarged face lying on his side, Roger said that he had Just get used to it.

Even though he warned himself to forget about it last night, such a powerful impact still left an indelible impression on Roger's heart, and even the way he looked at Lacente was complicated and deep.

"...What's wrong?" Lacente, who was probably taking a nap, felt Roger's gaze, opened his eyes and looked back blankly, and raised his hand to touch his face inexplicably.

"...it's okay." Roger shook his head, suppressed the idea of ​​sharing last night's experience with him, turned over and got up and got dressed, "Sorry, I had insomnia last night, I didn't expect to wake up so late, it won't affect the audience, right? ? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"It doesn't matter, you can go anytime." Laycent sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, his black eyes flickered, as if he was thinking, but he didn't say anything.

"That's good." Roger put on his shirt, straightened his collar, and glanced at Nexant with some guilt, only to find that his posture, his own movements, and the current environment had a weird feeling. The sense of sight after a shot.

...what the hell.Roger shivered, quickly tidied himself up, and finally dragged up Lycent who was lying on his bed.

This time, Lacente came to pick him up in his official capacity as the first prince of the human royal family. Even though the guard of honor at the entrance of the hotel had been waiting for N hours under the scorching sun, they still looked radiant and radiant. Roger, who was born, was a little unable to walk.

"As for such a big fanfare?" Roger complained in a low voice after being watched inhumanely. Although he had pretended to be an aristocrat since he was a child, he still couldn't get used to this naked aristocratic behavior of showing off his wealth.

Laycent hooked the corners of his mouth in a good mood, and successfully made the captain of the guard of honor dressed as a knight widen his eyes in horror. As for when he helped Roger onto the carriage with his own hands, Roger felt that the entire guard of honor seemed to be dead.

The guard of honor drove through the wide streets of the royal capital. Through the car window, Roger looked at the place he had passed, and saw the bustling crowd now respectfully lined up in two lines to make way for the royal team. Lu Lu finally leaned back in his chair after a while, and found that he seemed to prefer the feeling of being in the crowd rather than being looked up by the crowd.

The guard of honor of the royal family was orderly and not slow, and soon stopped at the gate of the palace.Roger got out of the car and immediately saw Leon dressed in noble clothes.Seeing Roger, Leon immediately greeted him with a smile, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder warmly and friendly.

"... Thank you for your hard work." For some reason, he suddenly recalled "forced by death", Roger asked sympathetically.

"...Actually, I should thank you." Leon understood Roger's endless words.

"...?"

"If it wasn't for you as a weight, the bastard Nexant probably wouldn't be able to deal with those things in his lifetime. As a result, once he added the clause 'If you can't finish it, you are not allowed to see Roger', his efficiency is simply high. It's outrageous, obviously, I don't think it's possible to finish a job in a month, but he can finish it in less than ten days!" Leon looked bloody.

"...What if I feel more sympathetic to you?" Roger glanced at him and stood docilely beside him, waiting patiently for him to finish talking with Leon, and even though he was the subject of the topic, Laycent, who was too lazy to react at all, did the same. face blood.

"No, I'm actually very relieved, I knew my vision was absolutely right! He is a genius! He is a king who is born above everyone! It's a pity that he lacks motivation." Leon lowered his voice, and the loyalty in his eyes flickered It seemed to add a bit of fanaticism, and Roger couldn't help but look sideways, "And, now that I have found the motivation, hope is close at hand!"

Roger was silent. He felt that he was jointly designed by Nexant and Leon, and that he would become a carrot hanging in front of this stupid ass of Nexant to seduce him.

——This is definitely not his life plan!

"Look! Who did I meet? Although you have been back for more than ten days, this is the first time we met, right? Wang, brother." The brisk voice was slightly raised for joy, interrupting Roger's conversation with him. In Leon's conversation, Roger turned his head to look at the gate of the palace, and saw an old man with gray beard and a brown-haired boy coming out side by side, and it was naturally that boy who spoke.

The old man looked benevolent, but there was a majestic deterrent force around him, which made people involuntarily lower their eyebrows.He was dressed in the attire of a priest of the temple, and he seemed to be of a high rank among the priests. Unfortunately, as Roger, he had only seen those low-ranking priests, and it was impossible to tell the old man's real position in the temple.The young man looks five points like Laycent, with lighter hair and eyes, a slender and slender body, and fair skin. It looks like he has been pampered since he was a child.The slightly raised chin and arrogant eyes seemed to be ignored by anyone, and the slightly exaggerated tone of yin and yang was also full of irony. It seemed that the relationship with Nexant was not very good.

If Roger remembers correctly, the only person who can call Lacente the prince brother is the second prince Raphael.

"Bishop Lawrence, His Royal Highness Raphael." Leon quickly bowed and saluted, and Roger naturally lowered his head and stooped in the same way, secretly surprised that the old man turned out to be a bishop, the highest status in the temple, almost comparable to the king On an equal footing.

Bishop Lawrence nodded with a smile, fixed his gaze on Roger slightly, and then moved away naturally after a while, while Raphael just let out an arrogant "hmm", didn't even bother to look at the two of them, just tightly Stare at Lycent.

It's a pity that Raphael is arrogant, and Lacente is even more arrogant than him. If Raphael's every move is showing off, then Lacent completely ignores it and doesn't bother to pay attention to it, so he just swept himself away at will. With a glance at his younger brother, he turned his emotionless eyes back to Roger.

"You—what kind of attitude do you have! Do you think that passing the swordsman test is something to be proud of?! I passed it a long time ago!" Obviously, Laycente's defiant attitude angered the arrogant young man, he took three steps He rushed in front of Lacente in two steps, but the difference in height and momentum made him look like a cat blowing fur in front of a lazy tiger, which was horrible.

The corner of Roger's mouth twitched fiercely, thinking that it would be better for him to look away, otherwise he would probably be angered by the second prince who was provoking Lacente and ignored him instead.And Leon, who had long been accustomed to such a situation, also silently looked in another direction, maintaining a respectful and serious expression.

"Hmm." Facing Raphael's anger, Lacente finally lazily gave a particle word with unknown meaning, and then walked towards Roger as if he was tired, and pulled him into the palace.

"You—!" Raphael's stunned and annoyed voice sounded from behind, and Roger couldn't help but look back, only to find that the arrogant but innocent—or arrogant—boy What flickered in the eyes was a hazy coldness.

Immediately, Roger put away his initial good-hearted impression of Raphael. Although he had to admit that judging from Nexant's attitude, being hated by others was his own fault, he had long regarded him as a Roger, who is his own, is still subconsciously hostile to all existences that harbor ill will toward him.

——This second prince, Raphael, does not seem to be a child who has a temper with his brother in the ordinary sense... Roger thinks that he may need to ask Leon for some information about Raphael when he has time in the future, so that he can make an early decision. Take precautions.

"Please wait a moment, this young adventurer." Roger's attention was all on Raphael, but he didn't expect that it was Bishop Lawrence who was always smiling beside Raphael to stop him.

Due to Lawrence's extraordinary status, even the king had to treat him with respect, so Lyon, Roger, and Leon had to stop and turn around.

"What's your name, kid?" Lawrence looked at Roger, his voice kind.

"My name is Roger, Your Excellency Bishop." Roger answered with a bow, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. He always felt that this presumably mature Bishop Lawrence seemed to have seen through something—God knows, there are a lot of secrets and troubles in him!

"Roger, looking at your attire, it seems to be a fire mage?"

"Yes, Bishop."

"My child, you are a person favored by the gods. If you have time, come to the temple. Maybe you will find that the temple is your destination, and the priest is the profession you should dedicate your life to." Lawrence's tone was not tight Not too late, but Roger was startled, and raised his head to look at the old man in surprise, "You mean...?"

"I see that you have the potential to become a priest, and you will become a great priest." Lawrence said affirmatively, "You will come to the temple to have a look, right, child?"

"...Of course, I will go, Your Excellency Bishop." Roger's voice was a little dry. No matter what he thought deep in his heart, at this moment, he could not refuse Lawrence's invitation.

——It's more like a request than an invitation.

Lawrence smiled with satisfaction, leaving a sentence that he would wait for him in the temple and then leave with Raphael, and Raphael's eyes swept over Lycent's holding Roger's hand, and the faint protective gesture After that, she finally set her sights on him for the first time.

That can't be called a kind look. Of course, Roger didn't think that Raphael would have kindness towards him, but the rejection in that look was far beyond his imagination.

This has not yet stepped into the gate of the palace, but it seems to have caused a lot of trouble. Roger couldn't help but smiled wryly, glanced at Lycent slightly complaining, and then sighed resignedly.

Now there is no turning back, and we can only take one step at a time carefully.
