Chapter 35

When Winster first became aware of Samuel's existence, he thought he was a demon with ill intentions. It was not until the past two or three years, when other content in his dreams gradually increased in addition to battle scenes, that Winster realized one thing - Samuel was himself, and the strange scenes he saw in his consciousness every night were not dreams, but his sealed memories.

Samuel is a god. Even though he is trapped in a mortal body, with the godhood imprinted in his soul, he is still the lord of the dark element, which means he is so powerful.

Even so, Winster didn't feel much better.

He was immature and weak when he was less than twenty years old, but life had eventually transformed him from a blank sheet of paper into what he is today. His strength had been improved bit by bit through hard work, and it was not like he could directly use certain means just by recovering a memory. Therefore, Winster had never felt real about those abilities that were originally his.

He is cold, aggressive, impatient, and tired of many things by nature. So what if he is very similar to Samuel? There is a big difference between them - Samuel is a poor guy who has been alone and unloved for tens of thousands of years, but he is different. Even though he has been away from home for many years, he is still remembered by his brother!

Samuel despises such a good brother, which shows that their visions are very different. How could they be the same person!

In addition to the fact that only a few memories were recovered, Winster still had a strong sense of disconnection from his former self because of the existence of Elphis.

Facing his brother's questioning at this moment, Winster actually didn't mind telling the truth, because the other party had always concealed his affairs from the Vatican, which made Winster trust Elphis as always.

As long as he said it, perhaps his brother with the talent of light would be able to seal the divine consciousness in his body.

But Winster didn't dare to say it. He couldn't control Samuel's awakening and receive his memory. If he was discovered by that guy, his brother would be in danger!

And Winster was not good at making up lies. Seeing that Elphis frowned because of his silence, he could only stammer, "I will bring you danger."

Elphis felt tired listening to this: why is this stubborn kid still superstitious about the double black bringing bad luck? Didn’t he explain the reason for his coma in the letter?

The young man waved his hand helplessly, indicating that he should skip this topic. "You have been living well these years. What are you doing outside?"

“…”

It’s no wonder that Elphis was thinking about it. This kid is only twelve or thirteen years old, but he can give away things worth thousands of gold coins. How can he make so much money by running a legitimate business?

Winster explained that he had been making money by accepting commissions from the bounty guild over the years.

The young man's face turned even uglier. "How old were you at that time? How could you do such a dangerous thing?" He suddenly remembered something. "Was it the person who sat at the same table with you just now who was watching over you and teaching you swordsmanship?"

Winster pursed his lips and said half-truthfully: "It wasn't them, it was an old senior who taught me."

Elphis believed it firmly. After all, he had the same experience and met a very good senior, but... ahem, the teaching method was not very conventional.

WINSTER: Mine is not very conventional either.

There were still many things he wanted to know, but since they had met again, there was no need to rush. Elphis took the child back to the store to eat.

On the way, the young man remembered something very serious. He tilted his head and warned in a serious tone: "You are old enough to have a serious relationship with a young lady, but if you dare to go to a brothel to find a woman, I will break your legs."

Most bounty hunters are energetic men. If they don't have a fixed partner, it is normal for them to go to a brothel for a night of passion when they need it. Elphis has no opinion on this, but he cannot do this to his own people.

The blue eyes like deep water seemed to be condensed with a thin layer of ice, and Winston naturally responded obediently.

Although his brother had rarely smiled at him since they met, Winster still felt very satisfied - being questioned and disciplined meant that his brother cared about him seriously.

Aston gradually lost his patience as he watched the dishes being served. He was already slightly dissatisfied with Winster subconsciously. Al, this guy, actually left his best friend aside for someone else! Ha!

Then Elphis took them back to their table and sat them down. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Aren't you hungry? You actually waited for me to come back and eat together. How considerate?"

Seeing Auston looking at another person, Elphis explained, "This is another child adopted by my grandfather in Lisai Town. I haven't seen him for a long time. I want to invite him to come and have a meal with me. Is that okay?"

Austin nodded reluctantly. If he didn't agree, this guy might just leave him here and ask him to find another table!

Forget it, they are just childhood friends. When we go back, he and Al are still the best in the world!

While eating, Elphis suddenly thought of another group of people, "Why don't you tell your friends that you're having dinner here?"

Winster said without hesitation: "No." They are not important.

Hansen's gang had long been accustomed to the fact that the little boss did not act with them. Seeing how he volunteered to do so just now, they knew they didn't have to wait. Every time a plate was served, they would rush to grab the food.

At another table, Auston became curious about Winster's existence, and didn't want to be excluded from the brothers' story, so he asked questions one after another, all directed at Winster, wanting to see what kind of person he was.

Winster has lived in the town of Liise for more than a year. He knows that although his brother seems to have a good relationship with everyone, he has never considered anyone as a friend. Now that a good friend who can travel with him suddenly appears, he feels very repulsive.

But because this was his brother's good friend, Winster could only hide his displeasure and had a brief conversation with Auston.

When he was first asked about living with his brother, Winster was still patient enough to show off to this outsider how good his brother was to him. But soon, Auston started asking about his private affairs, and Winster's patience quickly disappeared.

Elphis noticed the low pressure on his child and sighed inwardly, wondering how come after so many years of working alone, he still didn't like to communicate with outsiders.

"Stop chatting and eat quickly. I want to go back to the hotel and rest early."

The annoying sound stopped, and Winston finally relaxed his brows that had been slightly lowered.

After dinner, the three of them went to the hotel together. Auston wanted to ask more questions, but the two brothers made the excuse that they were tired. He could only stay in his room and play. Out of boredom, he took out the crystal ball to contact his eldest brother Linton, wanting to ask him if he knew that Al had a younger brother.

The naive prince did not expect that the other two would secretly do something behind his back.

Winster showed no hostility and casually asked how his brother and Austin knew each other.

Elphis laughed: "Why didn't you ask him when he was chatting with you just now? I thought you were not curious."

Winster didn't want to hear from outsiders about the close relationship between that man and his brother, but he was always concerned about Auston's existence, so he chose to ask his brother about it in private.

The act of exchanging gifts and letters over the years has always kept the two of them closely connected, and they did not feel strange when they lived in the same room again.

After chatting for a long time, it was getting late. If it weren't for Samuel's presence, Winster would have wanted to stay in the room and sleep side by side with his brother.

Before going to bed, Elphis asked his brother, "I'm going to visit Gusen in the next few days. If you have nothing else to do, do you want to come with us?" Seeing Winster's hesitation, the young man frowned, "We just met, and you can't wait to run away?"

Of course Winster wanted to go along, but he could only say that he had accepted a commission and could not get away, and he was very angry with Samuel.

Fortunately, his brother gave him a precious communication crystal ball. Even if he couldn't spend too much time with his brother during this period, he could still keep in touch with him frequently through the crystal ball in the future.

Elphis always felt that the child was avoiding him because of superstition. He was touched and tired, but the most important thing was that Winster could take care of himself now, and he did not force the child to stay under his nose.

Winster left his brother's room with a mature and calm expression. Except for Samuel, no one could see the reluctance and irritability in his heart...

Because the life-and-death crises he encountered in recent years have become less and less, Samuel has not come out to control this body for two years.

There is no other reason, it's simply because it would be boring to wake up - there are no powerful opponents, no interesting farces, even the environment remains unchanged, everything is extremely boring.

In the past, even if he controlled the body, Samuel was lazy and didn't know what to do to kill time, killing people? Treasure hunting? Seizing power?

If these were interesting, he would not have chosen to give up his divine body.

I thought it would be fresh to change the situation, but it turned out to be just as boring...

Awakened by surging emotions once again during the day, Samuel saw the extremely familiar blue-eyed young man through Winster's perspective, and he was not surprised at all. After all, apart from this human kid, who else could make him feel happy and nervous?

Contrary to what Winster thought, that he would be bad for Elphis, Samuel, who had been bored to the point of having no desire to wake up, was actually quite happy to see this human cub.

Samuel could feel Winster's complex emotions, although they were like a few layers of gauze between them. Those emotions were extremely light to him, but they were enough to make him feel fresh...

He hadn't paid attention to it when he was in Lisay Town, until these years, when Samuel gradually realized that apart from that mysterious little guy, he had never encountered anything else interesting.

Moreover, after becoming a priest, the brat still concealed His affairs from the Vatican and had been thinking about Him for many years... I wonder what his expression would be if he knew that He was really the dark wizard feared by the entire continent.

Because of the novelty, Samuel woke up for a while on the night of the reunion and clarified his thoughts to Winster, who had misunderstood him for a long time.

Since that human had done them a favor and stood on their side without telling the Vatican, he, Samuel, would certainly not repay kindness with enmity and do anything to that brat.

Thinking back to many years ago when he was tricked into worshipping wild gods and was ordered to make fire, cook, fertilize and grow vegetables... Samuel narrowed his eyes and sneered. He thought that he would not kill anyone, at most he would enslave them.

The next day, after Winster woke up, he found a message from Samuel in his memory. Although his attitude was not as arrogant as before, which made Winster feel a little uncomfortable...but when he thought about it carefully, that guy really had not come out to kill indiscriminately, so Winster believed his words for the time being.

So, after being politely declined, Elphis unexpectedly received a request from Winster to join him.

"What commission did you accept? Do you need to enter Gusen? Auston and I don't have any plans, so we can follow your path together."

Winster curved his eyebrows and said, "I won't do that commission anymore. Just tell me what you want to find. I can lead the way for you."

Elphis knocked on the door opposite, told His Royal Highness to get up, and said with a smile: "If we had known we would meet you, we wouldn't have hired anyone."

Hire someone? Winster's eyelashes flickered, and he remembered the commission Vanessa mentioned yesterday. He would not meet...

Austin didn't mind having one more person added to the itinerary. There was another group coming up later anyway, so one more Winster wouldn't make any difference. And after getting to know this guy a little yesterday, he felt that he was quite pitiful. Since Al recognized him as his younger brother, then Winster could also be considered his younger brother.

The breakfast at Du Xiang Hotel was delivered from a hotel on the same street. After the three of them finished eating, they sat at the dining table and waited for the hired people to come instead of going anywhere else.

The guild manager contacted them yesterday using a crystal ball, saying that a hunter group had accepted the commission and would come to pick them up this morning. Austin was the most impatient to wait, "Where is he? Could he not have woken up yet?"

"Maybe we got up too early." Thinking of the conversation he heard yesterday, Elphis narrowed his eyes. Could it be that the person they hired also entered some paradise?

Winster recalled the conversation between Hansen and the others -

"What time will we pick you up tomorrow morning?"

"Those young masters and young ladies sleep until noon, so it's okay to sleep later."

Winster didn't want to keep his brother waiting, but the communication crystal ball was so expensive that ordinary bounty hunters couldn't afford it, and he had no way to contact Hansen and the others to urge them.

At this time——

"Good morning, dear Winster."

Hansen and two members of the group walked into the restaurant in a carefree manner. They were not surprised to see Winster. This guy basically treated this hotel as his home.

After a lot of hesitation, they finally moved in last night. It was expensive, but the comfortable layout, bubble bath, and clean, soft, and relaxing bed could smooth out their fatigue after a busy month! And the free breakfast was really delicious!

A few people came over yawning and stretching, wanting to say hello and get to know their brothers' two friends or relatives.

Winster wanted to pretend he didn't know him, but he could only introduce him coldly: "This is my brother, and he's also your employer."

Subtext: Why don’t you pack up and leave early?

Several people: "..." The smile was stiff.jpg

No one would think that Winster was joking. These three words had nothing to do with him. Looking at the two handsome young men, one had a cold fake smile, and the other had an impatient look on his face. So...the employer was already waiting while they were still dreaming? The fact that they slept in was directly exposed? !

Our group! The image of a reliable, calm and responsible group! Gone!

Hansen asked with a wry smile, "Employer No. 49?"

Elphis nodded and said, "No hurry, let's have breakfast first." He would not care about such a small matter.

"Let's go and call the others first." Go wake up the others.

Several burly men hurried away in embarrassment. It was no wonder that they did not doubt the identities of the two young men who also stayed in this hotel at the beginning. Wasn’t Vanessa talking about a high-level swordsman?

Not only are they both more delicate than each other, but the blue-eyed boy looks as weak as a mage! He doesn't even have a callus on his hands, how can he look like a swordsman!

However, seeing that Winster is familiar with the two employers, he will probably go with them. With him around, the trip will definitely be smooth.

Two days later——

The entire Hansen group felt that this was the best boss they had ever gotten along with!

The employers are neither squeamish nor difficult to deal with, and are quite knowledgeable. They don't ask stupid questions. One of them is truly a high-level swordsman, and the other is probably at an intermediate level. They are both serious about training, not only do they practice with the hunters in the group, but they also go on their own when they encounter monsters, and we are happy to listen to them brag about their past experiences!

The journey was so smooth that the hunters, who were used to running around for missions, were a little bored - why did it feel like they were just leading the way? And telling the two young masters some stories to amuse them?

It’s not entirely true to say that everything went very smoothly. There was one thing they had thought wrong before setting out. Hansen and the others thought that since Winster knew their employer, he would definitely be able to help his old teammates promote harmonious employment relations, right?

No, instead they are doing their best to maintain a harmonious employment relationship, for example -

As Winster was about to leave, he took the beautiful employer named Phil away from the other man, "I have something to talk to my brother about."

The employer who called himself Kaio was left behind and frowned in dissatisfaction. The other people in the group hurried over to chat with him to divert his attention.

Another example:

Phil: "I heard there is a swamp in this forest. Are there monsters there? Is it convenient for fighting?"

Winster walked side by side with him, whispering about the situation in the swamp, as if he was talking in a whisper, not caring at all whether others could hear him.

Kaio: "Brother, speak louder. I want to listen too."

He hasn't reached the body tempering stage yet, and his hearing isn't good enough to hear whispers nearby.

Winster: "..."Who is your brother? !

The young man turned around and his deep black eyes met Hansen's. The big man who was lazily following behind him suddenly shuddered and walked over to talk to the neglected employer with a smile: "This kid has a low-key personality and never speaks loudly. Come on, let us talk to you."

Another example:

Kaio: "Phil, brother Winster, would you like some sweet fruit?"

His Royal Highness the Prince took out a large red fruit from his space ring and started chewing it, then handed over another one.

Phil: “No.”

Winster's tone was inexplicably light: "Brother doesn't like to eat too sweet food." Then he tilted his head to look at the blue-eyed young man, "There are some slightly sweet wild fruits over there, they smell like flowers and are very juicy. Would you like to eat one to quench your thirst?"

"……No."

If the water is not balanced, His Royal Highness the Prince will explode.

Unfortunately, Auston had already realized that someone was trying to steal his friend. He snorted coldly and complained directly to his friend: "I treat him as my brother, look at how he treats me?"

Winster pursed his lips tightly. Every time he heard the other party call him brother, a layer of resentment accumulated in his heart. Now that he hasn't taken any action yet, he feels that he has been very friendly to this person.

Elphis glanced at the unhappy face of Winster who came to him with grievance, and said to comfort him awkwardly -

"He is still a child, and his mind is immature. Don't bother with him."

How come minors are not children? It is normal for children to like to compete for their parents' attention.

Hansen and others: “???” Who is he talking about?
