Assisting the male partner, he took the female lead route

??The Potion Master's shop was furnished simply and cleanly from the floor to the ceiling, in stark contrast to the dusty facade outside.

??He sat down on his reclining chair angrily, and without greeting the two, he drank the tea in his quilt by himself, while Lu Yu was very self-conscious, and pulled Guan Lin to sit on the sofa next to him.

?? "Dear Mr. Potion Master," Guan Lin pulled down his cloak, "We have no intention of disturbing you, but we just want to ask you for help."

??The Holy See is still looking for them, and it is called looking for them. In fact, the old school can't wait to draw a wanted warrant for Guan Lin and send it to the streets and alleys.At this time, Guan Lin disregarded his safety and showed his blond hair and blue eyes in front of the potion master to show his sincerity.

??The potion master still liked this way, snorted: "You can ask me to do something, and the reward is very high."

?? Guan Lin replied sincerely: "I will do my best to meet your request."

??He said this ingeniously, just mentioning "I", even if the potion master would put forward some difficult conditions, it can only be him alone, and Lu Yu will not be involved.

??During this period of time, he saw everything that Lu Yu did for him.Guan Lin had never been so caringly protected since he was a child, so he always felt that he owed Lu Yu.For example, it was only his own wish to come to the potion master, but Lu Yu tried his best to find out for him. If the potion master wanted to make trouble, at least this time, he didn't want Lu Yu to be forced to face suffering that he didn't have to face for him.

?? There may be some other emotions mixed in it, warm, sour, stuffed full.

?? But he didn't know what kind of feeling it was, so he could only attribute it to debt.

?? Lu Yu is also a human being, so His Royal Highness Shengzi's careful thought can't be hidden from him.But he just moved slightly in his heart and didn't say anything.

?? After all, some things can only be discussed properly when two people are involved.

??The potion master lay on the reclining chair half-closed his eyes, and after a long while, he said calmly: "Then, after the matter you have to do is settled, this kid—"

?? He pointed at Lu Yu: "Stay here and be my apprentice."

?? Lu Yu: "..."

?? Guan Lin categorically said: "No."

??The potion master sneered: "Isn't it all right to say anything? If you can't do it, you're still talking nonsense—"

?? Guan Lin's eyes were as cold as ice and snow: "As long as it is not related to him, everything is fine."

??The potion master was like a child having a temper tantrum, with his mustache trembling: "I still want this one condition, if you can't meet it, then don't talk to me about business!"

??Guan Lin's face was green, and the potion master's eyes were staring. The two of them were like two elementary school chickens. One sentence and one sentence were on the verge of breaking out, as if they were about to start a fight in the next second.

?? Lu Yu hurriedly stopped His Royal Highness, who had returned to the age of six, and explained to the potion master: "Then what, I will tell you something, you must not be afraid."

?? The potion master said disdainfully: "Old man, I am twice as old as the two of you combined, would I be afraid?"

?? After a few seconds.

??The black wings unfolded out of thin air in the room, barely curled up on the couch, Lu Yu's black eyes turned blood-colored, black sharp claws loomed in both hands, and the folded wing encased half of Guan Lin's body in.

?? Guan Lin was also taken aback. Since he escaped from the crater that day, he hadn't seen Lu Yu displaying a demon form.

?? But he was not disgusted, and quietly raised his hand to touch Lu Yu's wings.

??Soft and smooth.

?? Feel very good.

?? He glanced at Lu Yu, but he didn't seem to respond.

??Okay, let's touch it again.

?? Lu Yu's heart was beating like a deer, pretending not to notice Guan Lin, who was secretly ruaing him, coughed softly at the stunned potionist in front of him: "As you can see... that's it, I might not be able to Be your apprentice."

??The Potion Master felt that he hadn't been as shocked in half his life as he was now.

??The holy son of the Holy See who kills demons like hemp, actually got involved with a high-level demon?

??The two still defend each other, seeming very close?

??Oh, the Holy Son is still touching the wings of the devil...

?? He clutched his aching forehead, feeling that he couldn't bear to look at him: "...Forget it, I owe it first. I owe it to the dignified Holy Son of the Holy See."

??Lu Yu did have an aura, which made him fall in love with it at a glance.But if he really took a demon as his apprentice, how would he explain it if he met the spirits of those ancestors of potion masters after his death?After all, humans and demons have always been inseparable. Now that he didn't directly drive Lu Yu out, he had done his best.

?? Guan Lin sat up straight when he heard the words, and bowed slightly: "Thank you."

??The resin necklace was handed to the Potion Master. He frowned and looked at it for a moment, and finally showed a little surprise: "I need some time to study these things. Three... no, two days, two days later Come here again."

?? He changed his laziness just now, and walked to the research room in the back room with vigorous steps.Although the potion masters on the mainland had different personalities, each of them was a real research maniac. At this time, the potion masters only had those blue fragments in their eyes, and they closed the door before even listening to the polite words.

?? Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to turn around and say a few words to Guan Lin, he felt his shoulders sink.

??His Royal Highness Shengzi finally couldn't hold it anymore, his forehead tilted, and he fell asleep leaning on his shoulder blades.

?? Lu Yu felt his heart beating like a drum. He gently folded his wings, so that the soft and thick half of the wings were folded tighter, covering Guan Lin's body, and moved his posture slightly to let Guan Lin Can lean in his arms without being crushed by hard bones.

??And a few hours later, the potion master came out from the back room to get things, and saw the two miserable guys at a glance.

??Before he asked why he hadn't left yet, Lu Yu put his right index finger to his lips, with a serious look, motioning him to keep quiet.

?? Potion Master: "..."

?? He suddenly felt that fortunately this bastard is not a human being, so he couldn't be his apprentice.

??Otherwise he would be so angry that he would die early.

?? -

?? There are two single beds in the hotel room. Guan Lin is lying on the bed in a regular manner, with his hands folded on his abdomen and his eyes closed.The habit he had developed in the Holy See for many years made him even sleep seriously.

?? On the other hand, Lu Yu, every morning when he wakes up, he can be covered with pillows, but the quilt is kicked under the bed at some point.

??Fortunately, the devil is born with a strong body and will not be tortured by illness, otherwise he would have caught a cold eight hundred times.

??Tomorrow is the day that the Potion Master promised. I wonder if it's because the things that have been buried in my heart for many years are finally coming to a close. Guan Lin rarely suffers from insomnia.

?? He resisted the idea of ​​turning over, and only slightly tilted his head, looking at Lu Yu's sleeping face on the bed one meter away.

?? Lu Yu likes to sleep on his side when he sleeps, and the direction is just facing him.The curtains were not drawn tightly, and the moonlight slanted out a line, falling on the corners of the man's lips, the bridge of the nose, the eyelashes, and finally stopped on the slightly raised eyebrows.

??Even when he was sleeping, Lu Yu's expression always showed a bit of publicity. He looked like he was in his twenties, but he had a youthful look on his body. He looked careless and careless, and he disdained all restraints Gu's arrogance and boldness.

??Things you want to do, things you want to say, people you want to be close to.

??Since the heart has something to do, just do it directly, regardless of the consequences.

?? This wantonness in him is something Guan Lin has always envied.

?? "Does it look good?"

??Guan Lin was still in a daze, but saw the sleeping young man suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of deep eyes slightly raised at the end of the eyes, and looked at him with a smile.

??Guan Lin suddenly seemed to be burned by something, and looked away in embarrassment, and closed his eyes tightly.

??"……nice."

??A few seconds later, he seemed to be belatedly aware, and responded to Lu Yu's casual and frivolous statement.

??Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.Guan Lin closed his eyes, and then he lingered on that person's side face with extremely tender eyes, and his smile deepened.

"Your Highness," he asked softly, "are you asleep?"

??"Um."

??His Royal Highness Son will answer questions in a serious manner even if he is pretending to be asleep.

??——This is a dream.He thought seriously in his heart.

"Your Highness," Lu Yu continued, "when the potion master asked for a reward today, why did you only mention yourself?"

?? Guan Lin's fingers tightened immediately.

?? He is like a child who has done something wrong, and refuses to answer.

?? Lu Yu sighed: "Could it be that His Highness and I have gone through so many things, and still can't fully trust me..."

??"no."

?? Guan Lin opened his eyes immediately, and retorted with lowered eyes.

?? Of course Lu Yu knew it was not, so he bent his eyes and continued to persuade: "Then why, can you tell me, Your Highness?"

?? "...This is my business alone." Guan Lin was silent for a long time before replying in a low voice, "I don't want to drag you down."

?? "You will leave one day."

?? No matter how good Lu Yu has a good relationship with him, he is still a devil after all.

?? After he recovers from his injuries and determines the cause of his parents' death, the next step is to return to the Holy See and face all the turbulent waves that he has been silent about for more than ten years.

??Those dark shadows surging under the sea surface, there is always a moment when it is time to reveal their true faces, and the ugly faces of the old school also need to be peeled off layer by layer.

?? But at this time, it is impossible for Lu Yu to be by his side.

?? Leaving aside the issue of his identity being exposed as a demon, Lu Yu's body will be suppressed by the light element just in the church.What's more, the headquarters of the Holy See in the Pope City has a ray of light and divine consciousness.

??Any demon that enters the headquarters of the Holy See will be identified by this ray of consciousness and wiped out on the spot.

?? And Lu Yu has no reason to help him without complaint or regret.

?? He used slow and difficult words, almost one or two words to express his thoughts. In the past 20 years, for the first time, he confided all his thoughts to one person without reservation, so he carefully considered every word. , Be careful.

??Under that indifferent and rational body, there has always been a child who lacks a sense of security but has been silently enduring anxiety, just like the one Lu Yu met in the illusion.

??After Guan Lin finished speaking, he looked at the opposite figure with some hesitation, fearing that his words would be too straightforward and hurt Lu Yu's heart.

?? but saw the man smiling more happily than usual, with a touch of cunning:

"Your Highness, how do you know that I will feel uncomfortable when I enter the church?"

?? Guan Lin froze immediately.

??That fair face was a little hot, and Lu Yu's vision would not be obstructed by the darkness, so he could clearly see a smear of red in the ear of His Highness the Son.

??He couldn't help feeling weak in his heart, and said with a low smile: "Your Highness, you said earlier that you were in an illusion, and only when you slept at night would you remember the events of the day..."

??"is that true?"

?? Or, in fact, Guan Lin has always been able to see, but he just couldn't control himself?

?? And...the last look begging him to leave.

??The look of intense emotion that made him leave, did it come from the young Highness back then, or the Holy Son in front of him?

?? "..."

??Guan Lin turned his body to the side, with his back to Lu Yu, and almost exhausted all his efforts before he managed to choke out a few words:

?? "It's time, it's time to go to bed... Good night."

?? Lu Yu thought of the little figure in the illusion, and felt that this sentence seemed familiar.

??He raised the corners of his lips, and with a volume that Guan Lin could clearly hear, he paused word by word:

?? "Your Highness, I will not leave, I swear on my soul."

??"Good night."

?? -

??The next day, the potion master looked at Guan Lin, who had slightly dark circles under his eyes, and the energetic Lu Yu, and finally frowned and said to Lu Yu:

?? "Young people must know how to be temperate."

??Guan Lin didn't understand. Lack of sleep made his emotions more exposed than usual. He frowned: "What restraint?"

"Next time." Lu Yu said without blushing.

??Guan Lin: "?"

??next time?

?? Fortunately, this topic did not continue. The potionist took out the resin pendant again. The pendant had already been cut off in half, and the blue fragment inside was also missing.

??The potion master looked very serious: "If I guess correctly, this is a fragment of a manju flower."

?? Lu Yu frowned and asked the system to search for it. After confirming that there was no clue of this thing in the memory of the original owner, he looked at Guan Lin again, but the other party didn't know anything about it.

"You don't know, it's normal," the potion master explained, "This plant should have been extinct long ago. Since humans invented the potion that can eradicate manju flowers, its number has been greatly reduced. The reproductive ability itself is not strong, and the living environment is also harsh. It has not appeared for nearly a thousand years.

?? "And in order to prevent the existence of people who maliciously turn to the devil and breed this kind of flower, the books related to the manju flower are basically burned. Except for me who specializes in medicinal herbs, few people can recognize it.

?? "When the petals of this plant have not fallen off, the plant has the same soft texture as ordinary wildflowers, but once it is separated from the plant, it will become as hard as a spar. And the function of this flower... Do you know catnip? ?The falling petals of manju flower are fatal to low-level demons, just like catnip is to cats.

?? "The purer the bloodline of the demon, the less affected it is, but often the vicious incidents of human beings being attacked are caused by low-level demons. Therefore, human beings do everything possible to make it extinct. I have lived until now, and I have never seen one A living manju flower."

?? "The only time I saw it with my own eyes was what you gave me. But I swear with the dignity of a potionist, I will never be mistaken."

??The potion master babbled on and on about many things about Manzhuhua, but Guan Lin felt that he couldn't listen anymore.

??The Holy See has existed for thousands of years, and it was undoubtedly the Holy See who led mankind to fight against the demons and make the manju flower extinct.

??Then if there is any remaining part of Manzhuhua, it can only be in the Holy See.

??The strange death of his parents back then, could it really be the Pope...

"Oh, that's right," the Potion Master said as if remembering something, "I read an ancient book, and it said that hundreds of years ago, when humans were still struggling to fight against wild demons, the Holy See had such a tradition. The largest jewel on the pope's crown must be made of spar formed by manju flowers, which means that the pope will take the lead in protecting mankind and fighting against demons... I don't know if there is such a thing now."

?? The only trace of luck in Guan Lin's heart disappeared.

??After a while, he spoke hoarsely:

?? "...is still there."

?? Over the years, he has seen the Pope almost every month. Naturally, he has stood in front of the Pope countless times and seen the crown clearly.

?? The gem in the center is spotless blue.

?? The Pope also said to him with a smile that the color of the gem was like his eyes.

?? He couldn't help thinking of how the pope looked every time he saw him in these years.That holy figure, always with a touch of love and smile, gently patted his head with his fingers, telling him that you are doing well.

??Guan Lin's eyes went black for a while. Even though this conjecture had already appeared in his mind, it was far less powerful than when he faced it in person.

??He also doubted the Pope at first, but the gentleness despite those harshness, every time he stroked his hair, the earnestness when discussing the content of the book with him, the praise and pride when mentioning him to others...

?? He had doubts, but he really regarded him as his teacher, as a father and brother who has always been respected and loved.

?? He even once felt that the Pope had never favored the new school or the old school, and he was really impartial.

?? But now that I think about it, if the Pope is really just, why would he let Lilia leave because of Kaloy's complaint?

??How could he have been missing for more than a month without expressing any attitude, and even allowed the old school to ferment the rumors of "the defection of the Son of God"?

??Is he the holy son of the Holy See, the heir chosen by the Pope, or a pawn that has been used from beginning to end to pave the way for the Pope's son?

??Lu Yu immediately realized what was wrong with him, and pressed his shoulder: "Your Highness, Your Highness?"

??Guan Lin's hands were shaking, and his lips were bloodless.It was only at this moment that he realized that for so many years, he had been used by the murderers of his relatives and enemies, and he had devoted himself to working hard.

"...Guan Lin!"

??The loud shout finally brought Guan Lin's spirit back to his body. He raised his head blankly and looked at the caring Lu Yu in front of him. He was caught off guard and shed a tear.

?? "Lu Yu."

??He spoke softly, with a hoarse voice:

??"Did i do something wrong?"

??So many years of hard work, so many years of deep trust.

??He turned out to be wrong from the beginning?

?? Lu Yu raised his hand to wipe away the tear, raised his hand to press the back of his neck, and pressed Guan Lin's forehead against his own.

"No, Your Highness," Lu Yu said softly, "You have done nothing wrong."

??From the beginning to the end, the fault is that bastard Pope who is dressed in a beast.

?? instead of his highness.
