Son of Light and Darkness

That night.

The moon is as cool as water.

The whole city fell into a suffocating quiet atmosphere.

The room was also silent, with the occasional sound of pages being turned and the sound of chewing.

Eli was leaning against the head of the bed wrapped in a big blanket, holding a snack in both hands, and a book was spread out under his elbow, which was the book about classical light magic that Mephisto was reading.

Although he couldn't understand those complicated ancient characters, it didn't affect his appreciation of the illustrations above.

The exquisite hand-painted book portrays the characters vividly.

I just read it over and over again, and I'm still a little tired.Eli closed the book a little bored, but the snacks in his hand fell into the cracks between the pages.

This kind of thick book that can be used as a murder weapon is hard to get between the pages. Eli glanced nervously at the bathroom, then turned the book upside down and shook it.

The dim sum residue was shaken out smoothly, followed by a thin piece of parchment.

Eli opened it and glanced at it, and his eyes were fixed on the piece of paper.

There is a map on it, and it can be roughly seen that it is a circular city, but Eli can completely conclude with his extraordinary memory that this map is exactly the same as the map that Siren handed over to Brother Zhanfeng today. , and even more detailed!

If I remember correctly, this should be the father's relic that Luca gave to his brother?

But why is it a map related to the city of exile?

Brother, did he really come here for himself?

In an instant, countless thoughts swirled in my heart, but in the end they were all pushed down by him one by one.

No matter what, he had to trust Mephisto!

Eli glanced in the direction of the bathroom, just in time to see Mephisto coming out of the shower wrapped in a white towel.

The vigorous and perfect slender body immediately attracted Eli's attention firmly.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, slender and straight legs, as well as that perfect face and slightly moist long golden hair hanging over her shoulders.

Eli's face turned red instantly.

Although he was only a few hours away from Mephisto, the difference between the two standing together was too great.His height only reached Mephisto's chest, and he looked like a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, but Mephisto has matured, even if he told others that he was already an adult, no one would doubt him .

Mephisto saw the little guy wrapped in a sheet and huddled in the corner of the big bed, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and walked towards the big bed step by step.

There was an invisible pressure in the air that made Eli feel his nerves tense.

He glanced at Mephisto helplessly, and shouted softly: "Brother." It seemed that these two words could relieve the tension in his heart and soothe his nerves that were about to collapse to the brink.

Mephisto's voice was deep and elegant. He sat on the edge of the bed and smiled slowly: "Huh?"

Eli's intuition told him that Mephisto was dangerous now, but he felt that he was unwilling to resist this seductive smile.

Mephisto gently stretched out his big hand and rubbed Eli's soft black hair: "Eli, brother has a gift for you."

"Huh? A gift?" Eli was taken aback, but the ambiguous atmosphere in the room subsided quite a bit.

Mephisto leaned over with a slight smile, his eyes inadvertently fell on his pillow, and then increased the strength of his hand: "So you have already opened the gift I want to give you privately?"

Eli was a little confused by the light fragrance from Mephisto, and could only make a weak protest: "What gift? I didn't open it secretly..."

Stretching his upper arm, Mephisto took out the book under the pillow, and then took out a stack of parchment.

Eli's face suddenly felt a little hot.

Mephisto looked at him amusedly: "You sit so far away, can you see it?" He deliberately shook the parchment in his hand.

Eli could only accept his fate and move himself over, but Mephisto took him into his arms.

Mephisto spread out the parchment in front of him solemnly: "Do you know where this is?"

Eli could only nod absent-mindedly, but his body stiffened suddenly.

Brother...where is brother's hand touching?

"Why did you give me a gift?" Eli stared blankly at Mephisto's pale lips, and swallowed unconsciously.

Mephisto smiled softly: "You really can't remember? Today is your birthday!"

Eli was stunned, he really forgot.

Mephisto put his hand on Eli's waist, and looked at Eli without changing his face: "You will be an adult after today, so I think I should tell you the facts about our family."

"Tell me?" Eli looked up in confusion.

"It's about our family." Mephisto said, seeing some resistance on Eli's face, he added with a smile, "It's not the Christopher family, but our father's family—the Augustus family. "

"Father's family?" Eli's eyes lit up.

For the father who has never met, Eli admired himself very much since he was a child.Even in a remote place like Lante Village, people don't know that there is a great dragon knight named Sisi.

He grew up listening to Sisi's legend.

"Actually, each generation of our family has only two children, and there are only two magical physiques, light and dark." Mephisto gently put his arms around Eli, and said, "But the proportion of dark and light physiques is different. It's not the same. Most of them have the inherited power of the two systems, so they can practice the two completely opposite magical elements of light and darkness."

"Although it is dual-element magic, it is generally difficult for them to advance to the fifth or sixth level. Because of the harsh conditions of dual-element magic, there are very few people who can reach the great magister."

"But me and you, Eli, the only difference between us and them is that we are both of the purest physique." Mephistopheles suddenly smiled lightly when he said this.

Sisi and Siren have reached a very high standard, but they are still not the purest physique, so we can only hope for their next generation.

As expected, Mephisto and Eli, the twins, just reached the most perfect balance.

The purest physique means having the most powerful power. Mephisto has known this since birth, and his blood was awakened when he was born.

Every pair of twins in the Augustus family will instinctively protect their brothers and sisters, and Mephisto is no exception.

When he and Eli were lying in the same cradle, he already knew that this little guy who looked like an angel was the one he wanted to protect.

Even if Eli was taken away by his grandfather later, he still kept all the news about Eli at any time.Including him being bullied, or breaking someone's leg later.

He never interfered with Eli's growth, because this is also a necessary experience for every Augustus family.

However, now there seems to be a little surprise.

In the early days, he only wanted to pursue the greatest power, but now, he found that his focus was on Eli more than the book in his hand.

As far as their family is concerned, this is not good news.

The smile on Mephisto's face gradually faded: "Each generation of twins will have a memory and ability inherited from the bloodline that was awakened at birth. The two of us, Eli, actually I was born when I was born. It has the memory engraved in the blood of the awakened people of all ages."

"Eli, our family's mission is to protect the key to this world!"

Mephisto's last words completely stunned Eli.

He looked at Mephisto blankly: "The key to this world?"

Mephisto kissed Eli on the forehead: "Eli, happy birthday."

Eli listened to Mephisto's long speech in a trance, and nodded blankly: "Oh, happy birthday, brother."

After being stunned for a moment, Eli looked up at Mephisto: "This is the birthday present my brother gave me?"

Mephisto looked at him dotingly: "You can make a wish, and my brother will help you fulfill it."

Eli nodded, and said, "Brother, I want to hear you sing."

Mephisto's perfect smile finally showed a tiny crack.

Eli repeated again: "I want to hear that song your mother sang to you when you were a child."

When I was a child, my elder brother was hugged by his mother, eating afternoon tea and singing songs in the beautiful garden.That piece is very clean and perfect for quiet listening in the afternoon sun.

Eli quietly hid behind the garden and eavesdropped. Mother's voice was very soft and pleasant.It's just that his mother never sang to him.

Mephisto pondered for a moment, removed his palm from Eli's slender waist, covered his eyes, and ordered gently: "Close your eyes."

Eli closed his eyes obediently.

After a moment of brewing, a deep and magnetic singing voice escaped from the corner of Mephisto's lips.

Although I can't remember the lyrics clearly, the simple melody is very confusing.It seems that there is an infinite attraction that drags people's hearts and souls into the whirlpool.

Eli was so engrossed in this ethereal and beautiful singing that he didn't know when his close-fitting clothes were taken off.

It was only when he realized that the singing had stopped and was about to open his eyes that he realized something was wrong.

I don't know when, I have already met my brother frankly.

Mephisto propped his arms gracefully beside his head, with a bewitching smile on his handsome face.

Eli was nervous, but he had nowhere to escape. He could only look at Mephisto with his black eyes open, and looked at Mephisto with aggrieved eyes.

Mephisto laughed and whispered in his ear: "What? Since my brother has given you a wish, why can't you give my brother a wish? Today is also my birthday."

Eli was speechless, and finally closed his eyes by default.

Mephisto got acquiescence, and played with Eli's slender body more kindly.

The little guy closed his eyes tightly, and he could tell the tension in his heart without looking.

Mephisto lowered his head, pressed against Eli's chest tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Don't be afraid, brother is here."

Eli nodded silently, but uncomfortably clutched the bed sheet under him.

He knew that he could trust all of Mephisto's promises, but only at this moment, because of Mephisto's existence, he would be afraid...
