The Path of the Master's Development

Rein looked at Isaac, who was obviously making fun of his saintly attire, and shook his head helplessly.

"Come on, Isaac, is everyone okay?"

"not good at all."

Isaac lightly jumped onto a chair beside him, found a comfortable position and sat down, watching Rhine begin to complain expressionlessly.

"What George did almost murdered Siluta and Edward. Without you looking at the principal, he started arranging teaching plans randomly. Each of them will net five thousand gold coins."

"We're temporarily staying at your parents' house, and your mother beats George so hard that he can't get out of bed, and your father looks like he's going to chop me up anytime, anywhere, and—"

Isaac narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous smile on his lips, his voice was soft but with a hint of chill like a sharp blade.

"What happened to that elf?"

"Have father and mother returned to the holy city?"

Rein sat down next to Isaac, showing a puzzled expression—Master Roland's letter said that because his mother couldn't make it back to the holy city during the outer ring tour, and the flower festival couldn't lack the saint, he was asked to come back to temporarily replace his mother to preside over the flower festival .Why did you suddenly come back?

As for the elves... Rein's intuition is that it's better not to answer Isaac in this state.

Isaac's dangerous smile faded away.

——It doesn't matter if Rein doesn't want to say it, he always has a way to know.

"They probably heard that you were in the holy city, so they came here on purpose." Isaac stretched out his hand and twisted a strand of Rein's wig, rubbed it and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look, slightly confused Said with disgust, "It doesn't look as good as your hair."

He stared at Rein dressed as a woman, and suddenly asked, "Do you need to stay in this tower forever?"

"Well, that's not necessary." Rein thought for a while, blushing and spreading his hands towards Isaac with some trouble, "But it's not convenient for me to go anywhere in this suit."

The attire of this saintess is too obvious, and she will definitely be recognized at a glance within two steps in the holy city.

At that time, they will definitely be blocked in the streets and alleys, and the Knights of Light will not be able to save them.

——Never underestimate the power of believers.

Isaac rolled his eyes, jumped off the chair, and pulled Rein up.

"I have a way, don't release light elements."

After speaking, Isaac picked up Rein by the waist, the black wings reappeared behind him, and flew out of the window.

"Isaac!" Rein couldn't help exclaiming, almost reflexively about to release the wings of light, but he heard the black-haired young man chuckle in his ear.

A voice completely different from the usual Isaac comforted him softly in his ear, sounding like the night was intoxicating.

"Don't be afraid, trust me."

"...Isaac, there is still a problem with Xiluta's undoing the curse last time, right?" Rein carefully grabbed Isaac.

This feeling of completely entrusting himself to another person was the first time for Lein.

It's not about a crisis of trust or anything like that, but he hasn't been with his parents since he was a child. In order for him to control his power as soon as possible, George pursues independent education.

Laing remembered what George had said to him when he was a child.

——At any time, you must first rely on yourself, because if you don't control yourself, many people will be hurt.

——And the people who are hurt by you may include me, your parents, and some strangers who have never met before...

Isaac flapped his wings behind his back and flew to a higher place.

His voice came against the wind, and it sounded a little unreal: "This is me too, does Rein mind?"

——Frankly and honestly, go directly to see Rein's reaction.

This is the answer Isaac came up with himself.

In fact, the answer has always been obvious, but he has been turning a blind eye to this possibility by using the curse as an excuse.It's fine for his father to marry the princess of the Demon Race, but what he wants is the "Quasi-Saint Lady" of the Light God Sect, and it's still a man.

But after getting rid of all the noise in his mind, and after thinking and analyzing, Isaac clearly realized that there is only one kind of emotion in the world, which cannot be compared and measured by rational thinking.

He likes Lane.

He wants to monopolize this existence, which can be called a natural enemy, and he doesn't like others to approach him, and he doesn't like others to covet him.

He wants to protect Rein, no matter how troublesome his physique is, no matter what dangers he will encounter in the future.

When the side that is good at covering up and making jokes cannot switch back, he can no longer continue to deceive himself.

"If it's not harmful to your body, why should I mind?" Rein suddenly felt that something was wrong with Isaac's flight path. This guy flew up completely vertically...

"Isaac, what are you going to—" What?

Rein's voice was interrupted by the sound coming from behind Isaac. He stared dumbfounded at the pair of wings fully stretched behind Isaac. Each wing was nearly three meters in length and seemed to cover the sky at close range. moon.The black scales on the wings glowed in the moonlight, full of power and beauty that seemed to come from ancient times.

"Let me introduce myself again—Isaac Christopher, if there is no accident, he will be the next Grand Duke of Hell."

When opening the pair of dragon wings, Isaac can naturally float in the sky without flapping the wings, just like the wings themselves have a floating barrier.

His deep purple eyes looked into Rein's eyes, trying to dig out every trace of emotion hidden in them.

"Even so, don't you mind?"

"..." After a moment of silence, Rein said in a daze, "...Could it be that Miss Xiluta is also a demon?"

Even "calm and sane Isaac" couldn't resist the urge to fall headfirst to the ground.

He smiled angrily at the dull guy in front of him: "Is the only thing you want to ask is Xiluta?"

Rein seemed to have recovered his voice at this time, and said plausibly: "Otherwise, what should I ask? I have known that you are a dark creature, Isaac, but I am not sure which race you are--I didn't expect It's the darkest one."

Isaac looked at Lein suspiciously, obviously not trusting the "I knew it earlier" in the other party's mouth.

Rein sighed: "You don't think you really hid well, do you? Isaac, a normal fifth-level elemental mage would never let the light elements around me collapse and escape. A level-level elemental mage will not always scare the natural elements to explode on their own. A normal level-five elemental mage will not absorb such a large amount of light elements from me, and there is nothing wrong with it, and a normal human will not at all because of' If you don't want to go home and inherit the family business, you choose to study in the school located in the Valley of the Dead."

Rein looked like "Do you need me to say more?"

"..."

——What you said is so reasonable that I am speechless!

"So, Miss Xiluta is also a demon?"

"...I haven't finished asking my questions yet." Isaac felt that "calmness" and "sensibility" were about to be thrown to the dogs. Why couldn't he avoid Xiluta back and forth?

"You said you don't mind my identity, then do you mind—"

He touched Rein's lips lightly, used his mouth, and then slowly completed the words.

"--this."

Thanks to Isaac's actions that were too innocent, Rein didn't understand, but asked instead: "Isaac, do you need to absorb the light element now?"

——Not at all!

Isaac felt that the label on his head now should be the blood-red and bleak "self-inflicted"!

There was a rare bit of exasperation in his voice: "I mean, I like you, Rein Felix, just like your father likes your mother!"

A straight ball!

Lein froze.

He was stunned at an altitude of several thousand meters, and then reflexively relaxed the hand holding Isaac. If Isaac hadn't let go of the hand on his waist, he might not have let go. It just fell straight down!

"Isaac..." Rein said hesitantly, "Did you misunderstand something? Although I am a quasi-saint, I am not a girl?"

"I know, I just like you who like boys."

With two straight shots in a row, Isaac is going to make it impossible for Rein to dodge.

There are too many uncertain factors in the holy city of light. Who knows whether Rein will be fooled by the pope who is less reliable than George to do other things. Maybe the prospective saint will suddenly go to marry the elves tomorrow up!

—Young man, you really think too much.

Rein showed a dazed look, because of his physical condition, the option of "spending a lifetime with the one he loves" never appeared in his life plan.

And no one except Edward had confessed to him before—in fact, Edward looked more like grabbing a life-saving straw than genuine liking in Rein's eyes, so Rein did not tell him the love language Take it to heart.

But Isaac was different.

Lein could feel Isaac's seriousness.

He opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know how to respond—reject?He did not want.promise?It doesn't seem that easy either.

Just when Rein was at a loss, a white wrist wheel on his wrist suddenly sounded like an alarm.

"Some people visit the saint, some people visit the saint, some people visit the saint!"

Rein's expression changed, he grabbed Isaac and hurriedly said: "Isaac——"

He inadvertently met Isaac's purple eyes and couldn't help but froze.

The black-haired young man was smiling. Although his face was still expressionless, there was a smile in his eyes. He looked a bit like the Isaac Christopher he first saw.

"If you didn't directly refuse, I'll take it as your acquiescence."

—Where is there such a rogue rule?

Before Rein had time to refute, Isaac hugged the person in front of him tightly, his wings fluttered, his speed was many times faster than the virtual wings made by the breath of hell, and he returned to the window on the tower in the blink of an eye.

Rein quickly straightened his hair and stood in the small room, waiting for the guests.

But when he turned around, he saw the black-haired young man standing carelessly in a corner of the room.

"Isaac, why are you still here?"

"I want to see who is looking for you at such a late night?"

Isaac crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows and looked at the door of the bedroom where the Holy Maiden prayed, as if "I'm very upset so I have the final say".

"Oh?" Rein helplessly held his forehead—he knew he couldn't persuade Isaac, so he could only tell this guy, "Don't be discovered."

The black-haired youth curled up his lips.

"do not worry."

Although there was no change in Isaac in Rein's eyes, the blond young man could feel the movements of the elements around Isaac. He glanced at Isaac worriedly, got a reassuring smile, and turned his gaze away Back to the door—he could already hear the deliberately heavy footsteps.

"Good night, beautiful saint."

Rein felt his head hurt even more. Perhaps he really shouldn't have agreed to let Isaac stay - the one who appeared at the door was the elf in the daytime, yes, the one who was holding onto Rein's hand.

Even with his back turned to Isaac, Rein could feel Isaac's malicious eyes falling on Lord Elf.

"Good night, Your Excellency Grove." Rein nodded slightly, he deliberately lowered his voice so as to blur the boundaries between men and women, "May I ask you what's your business in visiting the White Tower?"

The elf's eyes suddenly lit up, he stepped forward and walked up to Rein, and said excitedly: "I fell in love with the saint at first sight, I hope you can become my wife!"

Rein felt goosebumps all over his body.

How could he never have imagined that this elf with a considerable status in the elves came to him at night to propose marriage? !Is today a good day to confess/propose?

——The promised elves are an elegant and reserved race?

"Your beauty makes me feel very dazzling, my whole heart is burning for you, Lord Ain, please take pity on my heart!"

As the elf spoke, he took another step forward, and was about to hold Rein's hand, but was suddenly restrained by a hand stretched out beside him.

Isaac looked at the elf with a sullen face, a cold light flashed across his purple eyes, and the breath of hell followed his hand and quickly climbed towards the elf's outstretched hand.

"Get out!" the black-haired youth shouted in a low voice.

Mr Grove shook suddenly and violently.

At this time, Rein also noticed the strangeness of the other party - a large amount of transparent liquid suddenly gushed out from the elf's emerald eyes, exuding a salty smell of the ocean.

"Sea monster?"

Rein looked at Isaac who withdrew his hand.

The black-haired youth flicked the sprite, which was bleeding out a pile of seawater-like liquid, to the saint's little bed, and dragged Rein to move towards the window.

"This bed can't be used anymore, you go back to sleep with me."

Isaac put his arms around Rein's waist and planned to fly away.

"Oh? No!" Rein immediately grabbed the black-haired young man's hand, "Isaac—if you want to leave, you must take His Excellency Grove with you!"

"Who will take him?"

Dare to touch Rein, Isaac felt that he might throw him from the sky halfway.

"Uh, my wings of light can also fly." Rein blinked, "Mr. Grove's status in the elves is not low, just leave him here in case something happens to the God of Light and the elf forest The relationship between you and I will become tense, and this flower festival will not be possible—don’t you still want to make money? If the flower festival stops, you won’t be able to make any money at all, right?”

Isaac was silent for a moment.

"I heard that elves are very rich?"

Rhine: I didn't ask you to rob him!

In the end, Isaac pulled out a rope that didn't look too thick from somewhere, and tied the rope around the elf's waist.

Then the three of them flew back to the mansion of the active saint with Isaac holding Rein and Rein holding the rope.

※※※

It was dark, but the saint's mansion was still brightly lit. Everyone except George gathered in the living room. Lucius, who was the first to wake up, looked Isaac up and down with probing eyes. Rein and the elf who was unconscious on the ground had a meaningful arc on their lips.

On the other hand, Xiluta glared fiercely at Rein—he really is a rival in love!Rival!

"He...is he an elf?" Edward, who still couldn't tell anyone else's face out, said palely, "What's wrong with him?"

"I've been 'dominated' by the siren." Isaac said briefly, he was more displeased with the fishy smell of the other party than the light element.

At least when he feels the light element now, he will think of Rein, and the smell of the sea will only make him think of rotten takoyaki.

Lucius squatted down with interest: "This is the first time I've seen a guy dominated by a sea monster. You forced the sea monster's 'water spirit' out of his body?"

"Domination" is the Kraken's racial talent.

This half-human, half-fish creature has a place for storing water spirits in its body. Although it is also a transparent liquid, those water spirits are not ordinary sea water, but are equivalent to a part of the body of a sea monster.

Sea monsters can control individuals by letting other races drink water spirits, and they can only control one at a time, and the dominated object falls into a state of complete sleep, and they don't know what they did during the domination period.

The only way to break the domination is to force out the water spirit in the body.

After the water spirit is forced out, it will immediately lose its activity, and the siren's body will be damaged, and it will take a long time to give birth to a new water spirit.

Isaac smiled coldly, self-explanatory.

Originally, he didn't care who the sea monster chose to dominate, but the other party wanted to attack Rein.

This guy dared to come here to propose marriage before he confessed successfully?Whether it's true or false, he certainly won't make this guy feel good.

What is this trauma?If that siren was in front of him, Isaac felt that he would eat him like a live fish!

"The sirens are narrow-minded and vengeful, and they have a strong desire for revenge. Be careful of being entangled by the other party." After checking the elves on the ground, Lucius gave Isaac a piece of advice out of the mentality of watching the excitement.

However, the blond youth he wanted to see reacted seemed unaware, while the other exploded immediately.

"Who dares to pester my Lord Isaac!" Xiluta said angrily, "It's just a mere sea monster. It's not so easy for Sea King to pester my dear Lord Isaac!"

Lucius glanced at the West Tower, and then thought of the other world in the room of the West Tower, turned his head and said to Isaac: "That's right, anyway, you have dealt with the most difficult one, but it's just a sea monster. I'm overthinking."

Xiluta: "What do you mean?!"

Lucius: Huh.

At this moment, the elf on the ground gradually woke up, and looked at Edward standing in front of him with the expression of seeing a ghost.

"His Royal Highness, why are you here?!"

Everyone: His Royal Highness? !What the hell!

"Uh, you've got the wrong person." Edward quickly shook his hand and said, "You've got the wrong person!"

The elf didn't even bother to respond to Edward.

He got up from the ground, ignoring why he smelled like sea fish all over his body, and turned his head to ask the people standing around him for verification: "Is this gentleman named Edward? , always can't remember the lesson and is still a big cry?"

Lucius first nodded at Lord Elf to express his affirmation, then turned to Edward and said in a very professional and academic tone: "It is a coincidence to meet one, and it is fate to meet two. You meet each of the items, Edward—— His Royal Highness Prince?"

Xueba Dada's voice, His Royal Highness, can be read as "How do you want to die the lamb to be slaughtered?".

Hearing Edward's whole body trembled, he immediately chattered non-stop like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

Then everyone knew about the story of the elf prince leaving home.

The cause, of course, is face blindness.

Edward's face blindness has reached the point where he can't even tell the difference between elves and humans.

So one day he blindly and accidentally ran to the realm of humans, and then he was abducted into the Assassin School Shadowland by his assassin teacher with the ridiculous reason that "there are more humans, maybe we can find a suitable partner" Therefore, it is also disguised as a human appearance.And the abducting teacher didn't expect that Edward's most fundamental trouble about the object would be prosopagnosia.

Well, everyone knows the result.

Everyone present gave Edward a different look.

——At first I thought it was a pure and good little white rabbit, but it turned out to be a...well...a pure and good little white rabbit with a secret.

His Royal Highness Prince Edward, who didn't grow taller after saying all, looked blankly at the elf.

"Uh, you're Carlo?"

The elf glared at his Highness viciously, and said through gritted teeth: "Your Highness, if you don't recognize someone, don't guess casually, because you have never guessed correctly!"

"This time we agreed to the invitation of the Light God Sect, but also to find your whereabouts."

Edward's eyes were even more confused.

"What are you looking for me for?"

——He, the prince, is equivalent to a mascot role in the elf forest. There should be no need for the elves to come out to look for him with great fanfare, right?

Elven Grove gritted his teeth with a livid face and said, "Do you still remember that you gave the Emerald Heart, a sacred object of our clan, to a girl from the Kraken clan?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Your Excellency the Elf continued to say to Edward in the tone of "you troublemaker": "That is the princess of the sea monster family, the daughter of the sea king. And she was killed three months ago on the shore of the false sea , next to it is the sacred object of our elves——Jade, Emerald, Heart, Heart!"

So the elves and the sirens fell apart.
