The book says...

Stage48. The day Seymour got angry——High Priest: There are always too many things in this world that he can't understand, especially Seymour.

"I testify for the Great Elder with my faith, Your Majesty, I believe he will never do anything to betray the entire Demon Race and you!"

But in fact, when the high priest said this to Louis, his expression was firm, and his heart was uncertain.

Of course, the mentality of the high priest is quite understandable. It’s the same as "I can bully my people behind closed doors, but in front of outsiders, I will never let anyone say that I am not." of.Protecting one's weaknesses is the unchanging essence of every demon, especially the high priest.

But, speaking of it, the high priest's trust in the great elder was not as high as he had shown.

The reason is that the high priest and the great elder are not only childhood sweethearts who grew up, but also neighbors.As we all know, Great Elder Seymour was a bad boy who made everyone's brain hurt when he was a child. He seems to be born with a rebellious bone. He likes to do all the things that adults don't let people do. It's hot in minutes, and you'll get bored in a while.

Except for one thing, which he didn't get tired of basically, throughout his childhood, that was persistently bullying the young high priest Estelle, for many years, and the rock did not move.

The high priest's distrust of the great elder was the seed planted at that time, and the most memorable one was the crux of the matter.

That day, the young Seymour led a group of friends from the block to play by the moat outside the city. Little Estelle also wanted to go, but Seymour sternly refused.Because everyone knows that Estelle is a little tearbag, and his favorite thing to do is to go back crying and tell his parents that they don't want to take him away.

Obviously, this reason is not objective. Most of the time Estelle is quite courageous, and he is also very loyal, except for one thing - after being bullied by Seymour, he will definitely cry Then go back and tell the parents, the parents of the two families.

Because that was the only way Seymour could restrain himself a little.

This time, Estelle's winning skill of "If you don't XXX, I'll sue your mother" once again won a phased victory. Seymour compromised and said that if Estelle dared to go to the restricted area alone, Take off a leaf from the Tree of Life and bring it back, and they will believe him to be brave, and promise to play with him.

Then, the silly bun Estelle, who still started to serve as a reserve priest in the restricted area temple, really chose to secretly go to the restricted area at night.Although it wasn't a place where he wanted to go or when he could go there.

Coincidentally, on the day Estelle went, the imperial capital Barr ushered in a heavy rainstorm that had never happened in a century.

Estelle, who was still young, was completely trapped under the tree of life. He was terrified. Even if his magic talent was water, that didn't mean he would like such a downpour, or it would be accompanied by terrifying thunder and lightning. heavy rain.Grabbing the leaves of the tree of life, the shivering Estelle even had a sense of panic that his life would end here soon. He kept silently reciting the fairy tales he had memorized since he was a child, praying for the end of his life. His Majesty Lucifer, the demon king sleeping in the center of the tree, was blessed, which made people feel much more at ease.

As a result... Estelle's life would certainly not end here. Seymour came in the rain, took his hand and ran to the temple, and scolded him angrily: "Aren't you brainless?" ? You took shelter under a tree during thunder and lightning weather, you are afraid that you won’t be hacked to death, right?”

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Estelle to be moved by this. He said that he is not an M, and he does not want to see who has hurt him so badly, and he was scolded in the end...

It wasn't until the hard-spoken Seymour suddenly developed a high fever in the middle of the night that Estelle softened and took care of Seymour until the early morning, and carried Seymour back after the rain stopped.Estelle has a savior plot that ordinary people don't have since he was a child. He likes to help people in need, because it makes him feel that his spirit is satisfied.

Generally, the story here will end with the two becoming good friends who share weal and woe...

But the truth is always cruel, at least for Estelle.He also made Seymour fall ill because of trespassing in the restricted area, and was locked up by his parents for the first time. He was locked at home for a whole month and was not allowed to go anywhere.And Seymour, who was alive and well after only lying down for three days, was able to play with friends and friends on the block all day long after a week.

And the place where those children played wildly was facing Estelle's window, just like Estelle who deliberately couldn't go out because of anger.

The thing that hit Estelle the hardest, which made him feel that Seymour had no credibility at all, was that after Estelle's confinement ended, he did not take Estelle to play in the moat! ! !

The reason turned out to be that they had already gone during the day when Estelle went to the restricted area!Pass!up!

In other words, from the very beginning, that bastard Seymour had no intention of taking Estelle to play, and the contract in the restricted area was just a bet to play with him.Estelle felt that he would remember this event for the rest of his life, even after they grew up, even after one of them had become the Great Elder and the other became the High Priest.

Therefore, after the high priest hung up the connection with the devil, he did nothing for a full three minutes, just stood there, buffering his emotions from being shocked.

"Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past in the barren wilderness" is not possible, but it is certain that I don't know how to face it.People who think a lot tend to be indecisive and indecisive. It just so happens that the High Priest is the best of all.

Faced with Louis's questioning of the great elder, the high priest really didn't know what to do.He meant that, on the one hand, he was his childhood sweetheart, and on the other hand, he had devoted himself to serving the gods all his life. It was really difficult for him to make a choice. To choose a friend was to betray one’s faith, and to choose a god, was to trap one’s friends in injustice. .

The high priest couldn't figure out why there were so many dilemmas in this world where he couldn't choose but had to choose one.

In the world, there is a dual-quantity method, and if you live up to it, you will live up to the law.

This is what the high priest saw from "The Book Says". He thought it was the most beautiful line in the world, but when he really encountered this kind of need to make a choice, the line seemed not so beautiful, but is cruel.

The previous high priest once said to the current high priest that Ace is good at everything, but he thinks a little too much, but Ace, you have to know that the more you think, the more worries and troubles you will have , when you don't think about anything, you can go forward bravely, don't miss what you might miss, do you know what I mean?I hope you can be happy and happy all your life.

Back then, he was still a bun-like high priest, wearing a white sacrificial robe, raised his head and said seriously: "As long as everyone around Ace is happy, Ace will feel happy, so Ace has to think a lot. , To be comprehensive."

"..." The previous high priest was speechless for a long time after hearing this.

We have every reason to believe that the previous high priest was also deeply shocked by the words of the Holy Father.So he finally said to the current high priest: "Ace, are you really sure you know we are demons?"

The young high priest tilted his head: "Huh? I know, we are demons."

"What is the definition of demons in the west?"

"Because of his strength, he is brutal and cruel, and because of his unparalleled beauty, he is cold and lonely." The high priest replied.

"..." Although these adjectives are a bit of a second-rate romance novel, but... "It's good that you know, so, shouldn't you, uh, change your thoughts about happiness just now?"

"But that's for outsiders, isn't it? For our own people, we should be strong because we need to cherish and love, because we can only love a small part to be cold and arrogant to outsiders?" From the high priest From the moment he was born on the tree of life, he had a unique brain circuit, and he was always able to understand some amazing things.

In the end, the former high priest had no choice but to throw out a sentence: "You are still young, there are some things you don't understand, and it will not be as simple as you imagined..." After finishing speaking, he walked away without leaving any solutions. method.

The high priest who only had theory but little practice finally tasted the bitter fruit on this day.

"What the hell are you doing?" a voice asked.

"I decide in my inner world where I should stand if Seymour betrays His Majesty Louis, or if someone makes His Majesty Louis suspect that Seymour has betrayed His Majesty, what should I do." The high priest replied.

"No, I'm asking, why are you standing here." The elder named Seymour stood by the door with a smirk on his face.

"Of course it's because I was communicating with His Majesty just now. In order to express my respect for His Majesty, I have been standing and talking to His Majesty... Wait, why are you here?" Hate it.

"Because someone didn't close the door, so I assume that this is a signal that someone is not discussing with His Majesty about whether I have betrayed His Majesty, and allows anyone to come in and out at will." The elder stood by the door, still Smiling, but smiling so coldly, "However, it seems that I was wrong. It's just that someone forgot to close the door. In terms of confidentiality, you need to strengthen, Mr. Estelle."

The high priest stood there silently, he didn't know what to say, it's too late to say anything now, isn't it?

An awkward 1 minute silence.

In the end, the great elder slammed the door and left angrily, leaving only one sentence that echoed throughout the room: "Ester, you are really good, do you think I will never be really angry with you? I tell you , Familiarity is familiarity, my heart is not for you to spoil!"

Ten minutes later, the high priest was still standing where he was, thinking whether he was really angry with embarrassment or was trying to cover it up.The Great Elder is definitely an acting school, and the High Priest is very stupid. He can't tell whether the Great Elder is acting or sincere.

But, without knowing why, my heart suddenly felt a little painful, and tears were already rolling in my eyes.

The sound of knocking on the door suddenly reminded me that the great elder leaned against the door, knocked on the door panel with one finger, and said, "Okay, I'm relieved, let's talk about the communication between you and His Majesty just now."

"..."=口= Bring back the sadness I just felt, Hun Dan!

The great elder sighed, there are always some people who will make you lose the bottom line forever, there is no retreat, even if there is a cliff behind him, for Estelle, he will continue to retreat.He just can't really be mad at him, he just can't stop loving him, that's all.

"Just now, I really didn't think about asking for forgiveness from me who was angry, Ace, why are you so cruel..."

"==Because you came back before I could figure out what to say."

"Eh? Is that so? Does that mean that you have thought about asking for my forgiveness? That's great. Then, let me tell you now that I forgive you magnanimously, so I won't listen to your explanation. Anyway, your Explaining would definitely make me angrier. You don't really know what I'm mad about, do you?"

"I didn't choose to trust you? But I have sworn to His Majesty, I said I trust you."

"..." I knew that you didn't know that I was angry because no matter what, His Majesty's position in your heart will always be the most important!Even if you suspect that I have betrayed the entire demon clan, do you dare to revolve your thoughts around me, and don't keep your majesty at bay? !
