Chapter 101

When Winster saw his brother looking at him, he couldn't help but smile even sweeter, "Good morning, brother."

"Well, morning..."

Al replied to him absentmindedly, wondering if Samuel's huge consciousness appeared for too long, causing his body to be unable to bear it and damaging his brain?

Otherwise, why did his little wolf cub brother seem to have turned into a stupid dog?

Winster got out of bed and walked towards the silver-haired young man without wearing shoes. He stood beside him with his head lowered, as if admitting his mistake.

"I didn't want to scare my brother, so I didn't confess. I didn't expect him to find out..." He sighed, "My brother is really smart."

The young man held his forehead with his hands. Is it time to start this unpleasant topic so early in the morning?

"Go pack up, we're leaving soon."

"Okay." Winster hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't bear to move. He was a little curious, "How did my brother find out that I like you?"

He had originally intended to boil the frog in warm water, wanting to wait until his brother could no longer live without him before confessing. He hadn't thought that his brother would notice it in advance. Fortunately, the result was not bad and his brother was not angry.

Al was stunned. Speaking of this matter, he suddenly felt it necessary to remind Winster.

The young man looked at his younger brother with a complicated expression, "Don't look at me like that in front of others." Anyone who has emotional experience or is sensitive can easily detect the boy's intentions.

"ah……?"

Winster was puzzled, he felt that the way he looked at his brother was just gentle, what was there to be criticized about?

Al waved his hand, took out a mirror from the space ring and placed it in front of Winster.

The moment Winster saw his expression, he understood how his brother discovered his feelings.

He could control his mouth from speaking the truth, but he couldn't control the fact that whenever he was with his brother, his heart would become soft, happy, and sweet, and these emotions would be revealed in his eyes.

Winster reluctantly said, "When there are outsiders around, I will try not to look at my brother."

Al nodded in satisfaction, "Go clean yourself up."

Winster washed up quickly, packed his luggage, and prepared to go out.

Al's hand had already fallen on the bolt, when suddenly a figure approached and he felt a warm sensation on his forehead.

He looked at the person standing beside him in astonishment. He couldn't believe that Winston, who had always treated him with caution and would never go against his wishes, would kiss him without permission? !

Oh...after all, he has a similar personality and behavior pattern to Samuel, so it's not surprising.

He was a little upset at first, but someone smiled very obediently at this moment, and his anger dissipated immediately. Forget it, it’s just the forehead, it’s not like I haven’t kissed him before... huh?

Al suddenly remembered that Winster had kissed him on the forehead in the Abyss Temple. Now it seemed that the boy was just pretending to take advantage of him!

"Hmph!" Al glared at him, pushed the door open and went out.

Winster raised his hand to cover his itchy heart and took a deep breath - his brother was so beautiful when he was angry, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him angrily was like a hook... He really wanted to hug his brother and rub him into his body.

Al had no idea how excited Winster was at the moment. He looked around guiltily. Fortunately, he didn't see anyone else.

He had never been so fortunate. The knight he chose was very diligent. Yarlin was used to going out to practice sword skills early every day instead of guarding his door, so he would not see Winster coming out of the same room with him.

It was fine before, but since he found out about Winster's thoughts yesterday, he was afraid that someone would suspect them.

He was a little unhappy. Why was the one who was attracted to him so open and honest, while he, the one being pursued, felt guilty...

After finding Yaerlin and the little dragon cub that was coaxed away by a dazzling elf last night, the group said goodbye to the elves.

Heinrich hugged the silver-haired young man and said gently, "My friend, you are welcome to visit us often."

Al: "I will, Your Majesty. Thank you for your hospitality. We have enjoyed our stay in Gusen for the past few days."

He stroked the head of the little cub who was hugging his thigh again and said, "Morrie, next time I come, I will check your progress. Work hard and don't follow your sister Phoebe's example and leave the forest without permission. Got it?"

If this dark talent were discovered, he would probably be beaten to death by the panicked people before being handed over to the Vatican.

The cub replied softly, "Okay, Brother Al, please come back to see us soon!"

"Hmph~" A dissatisfied voice came from behind the tree. It was Phoebe who wanted to come and see brother Al off, but was too embarrassed to come out.

Al looked behind the tree with amusement, said goodbye, and jumped lightly onto the back of the dragon. The journey would continue.

——

"Yes, I've left. Everything is going well. Don't worry."

"I arrived at Silegusen a few days in advance and have already inquired about it. There are still no light and dark elves born."

"Yes, I have contracted a magic dragon, and it is carrying us now."

"I don't plan to go back to the royal city for now. The knights and I still need to grow. The royal city is too safe, and it's hard for us to make progress. And I also want to check on the priests of each branch to see if they are following the rules of the church and saving the suffering for my god."

"Send a Paladin? No need. We will be careful to hide our identities and will not attract the terrible murderer. I think having more Paladins for protection will attract more attention and make it easier to be discovered, right?"

"Of course, Your Excellency, I will tell you about the situation in the chamber. If I find that any priests are pretending to obey but actually disobeying, I will deal with them seriously."

Al held the crystal ball and chatted with Bishop Edgar, who was sitting in the bishop's court, and reported on the trip to Silegusen.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking that the Pope was most closely connected only with Bishop Edgar, and if he wanted to know that person's whereabouts, he could only ask the bishop.

"I heard about a person who saved a lot of people some time ago. From what they described, it seemed like His Holiness the Pope took action. It's a pity that we were a few days late and missed His Holiness. Your Excellency the Bishop, do you know that the person left the royal city? Is there something important? Do you need my help?"

Of course, what he said was just politeness. He just wanted to ask about the whereabouts and try to avoid the direction of the Pope. Who would want to meet their superior while traveling?

"Hmm? Al, you must have misunderstood. That person couldn't be His Majesty. After you left, His Majesty returned to his small palace to practice diligently."

When Edgar mentioned the bishop he admired the most, he couldn't help but smile. "He has been working hard in his cultivation. When he breaks through the realm again, my God will lead him to the divine realm. This has always been what Your Majesty desires most."

Al was confused, but he continued chatting calmly, "It seems that I really misunderstood."

When the two crystal balls were disconnected, the young man put his finger to his lips and thought carefully -

There are only a few people with light-related talents, and considering the appearance described by the child, it must be the Pope. But why would he hide his whereabouts?

In the entire Vatican, who has the right to tell him what to do and who has his freedom?

I heard that the Pope has rarely appeared in public since he entered the realm of God of Law. He spends most of his time practicing in seclusion. Now it seems that he has also taken a lot of time to go out and hang out.

There is another contradictory point. If the Pope really travels frequently, it is impossible that he did not discover that the Vatican is a place where filth and corruption are hidden. He is not a homebody and simple-minded person like Bishop Edgar, so it is easy for him to notice that many priests are not pious enough.

That's fine, they have been using the name of the God of Light to defraud money and beauty and bully people, why doesn't the Pope clean them up?

If the Pope is like him, with no reverence for God and is therefore too lazy to help the God of Light spread faith and recruit believers, then this is understandable.

But Al has seen many true believers and false believers, and he can tell that the Pope is definitely a fanatic.

Every time he mentioned the gods, the smile that looked like a mask would be much more sincere. Every time he saw the huge statue, the emotions in the Pope's eyes appeared particularly hot on his gentle and handsome face...

Even if he said he was willing to sacrifice everything for God, including his life, Al believed it.

But he doesn't really manage the Holy See, which holds the banner of the God of Light, which is very strange. Could it be that he has made a mistake and the Pope is actually an actor?

After all, they didn't spend much time together, so Al didn't know much about the Pope. Even if he thought about it for three days and three nights, he couldn't figure out the reason.

He no longer thought about the Pope, but sincerely hoped that he could realize his dream as soon as possible, enter the divine realm and be with the God of Light as soon as possible. This way, there would be one less mountain on his head, and he could start to reform the Vatican.

During the next two days of traveling, Al chatted with his family and friends at the college. In addition to keeping in touch, everyone had traveled far and wide and could provide him with first-hand information, which helped him plan his travel route.

The archbishops who had been missing for many years also contacted him one by one. After all, they were his future superiors, so he still had to build a relationship with them.

They successfully arrived at the destination that had been decided before the party. Oh... everything went smoothly and uneventfully, except that Samuel and Winston became closer than before when no one else was around, and she kissed him from time to time, making him exhausted.

Minga City, Duxiang Hotel——

Winster looked at Prince Austin, who was hooking his arm around his brother's shoulders and leaning against him, and his expression looked extremely bad.

It’s not that he was jealous because of this contact. He knew that there was no possibility between his brother and the prince.

But when he thought about having someone else traveling with him in the future, someone who had a good relationship with his brother, was talkative, and good at grabbing his brother's attention, Winster gnashed his teeth in hatred!

It would be fine to have an extra Yarlin, after all, he is a man of few words, and the magic dragon can be thrown to him to take care of, so that the dragon cub will not affect their world of two at night, but Auston... Winster was upset, and didn't know why his brother contacted him to come and meet up.

After being questioned by Auston about the elves for a while, Al said, "You arrived three days earlier than us. What is the situation in Minga City?"

When the question came out, I don't know what the prince thought of. He couldn't suppress a smile on his face. He leaned close to the silver-haired young man's ear and asked in a mean way, "My friend, do you believe in love?"

“?!”

Al froze, his first reaction being that Auston had discovered Winster's feelings and was teasing him.

He barely managed to suppress the urge to turn around and look at someone nearby. He glanced at the prince with a wooden face. That familiar silly smile...

"Are you in love?"

Auston patted him on the shoulder, "My brother is just smart!"

Al breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved that nothing happened to Winston.

He said sincerely, "I wish you happiness. By the way, who is that lady? Do I know her? Why didn't you tell me when I asked you to come over to meet me last time? If I had known, I would have let you continue to be sweet with your lover."

"Ahem..." Auston's eyes were a little evasive. The prince who was moved for the first time was a little shy. "I haven't started pursuing her yet. To be honest, it's all thanks to you for asking me to come to Minga City. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met Kimberly. I've never seen such a beautiful girl!"

"Oh, right..." Austin suddenly slammed his fist on the table, "Didn't you ask me to come to Minga City in advance to see what the situation is like in the branch court? What you heard is true. Those priests really tricked a lot of beautiful girls into living in the church. My poor Kimberly, she was slandered as possessed by a demon and was forcibly taken to the branch court by the bishop. If the city lord hadn't gone to ask for her, who knows what would have happened to Kimberly!"

Al raised his eyebrows and said, "Going to rescue people personally, does the city lord here care so much about his people?" It's really strange.

Austin showed disdain on his face, "Humph! What do you mean by caring about the people? Just like those priests, they are all guys who are attracted by beauty."

"But thanks to the City Lord's Mansion and the branch court exposing each other's shortcomings, the dirty water thrown on Kimberly was finally washed away thanks to the fact that it became known to everyone."

The silver-haired young man propped up his chin lazily, "You fell in love with that girl at first sight?"

When asked about his feelings, the angry Auston immediately became shy again, "Um... um!"

Al was quite speechless, "Then you are also attracted by her beauty?"

He was actually quite curious, "I want to see how beautiful she is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Al felt a burning gaze. He turned his head to look across the table. It was Winster with a cold face. Al could actually see the grievance from his gloomy look!

He immediately tried to make amends, "I don't feel anything for the most beautiful mermaids and elves, and your Kimberly will definitely not attract me either. I want to meet her and ask her something. Don't worry, I will never be your rival in love."

Auston: "...I haven't thought about this yet, but you reminded me. How about you put on a cloak and a hat to cover your face?"

"Okay, okay, okay."

Noticing from the corner of his eye that Winster's face looked much better, Al breathed a sigh of relief. If he had not reacted quickly just now, he would have been greeted by Winster and Samuel who needed to be coaxed.

Oh, wait… they’re not in a relationship, why should he care if these two guys are jealous?

The young man covered his face with one hand. He couldn't bear to be cruel to both Winster and Samuel. The relationship they had been having these days was almost like a love affair.
