Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Help me?
Golden threads of light outline a high-heeled glass, and purple-red halos flow out from the corners of the eyes, weaving into plump and rich grapes.
Following the god's kiss, tiny bits of light seeped out from the skin, quickly condensing into an enchanting and strange emblem of the follower.
The patterns engraved on the wall of the cup are also quietly changing, sometimes it is a burning fire, sometimes it is surging waves, and sometimes it is a sweet smile.
The lines of that smiling face are quite similar to hers.
Zhan En watched the scene in silence.
As a person favored by God, and one who has been blessed for a long time, he is naturally more sensitive to the breath of God.
However, obviously not everyone is qualified to face the ancient god——
In other words, they don't want him to see it.
So he was unable to witness the coming of the God of Joy with his own eyes, nor was he able to hear the voice of the God.
Most people might feel regretful, but he was also somewhat relieved. After all, that person's power was extremely difficult to resist.
No matter how powerful a person is, in front of the Apostle of Joy of the God of Love, he will inevitably lose his mind and fall into a period of wonderful bliss.
The only difference is the length of time.
Of course, for intelligent races such as humans and orcs, any god will inevitably have such an influence.
It’s just that different gods give people different feelings because of their different authorities.
but--
The blond young man lowered his eyes and looked at the pattern spreading across the girl's face. In just a moment, the entire emblem was completely formed.
At that moment, he felt a strange, indescribable emotion.
It's hard to describe it with words like anger or jealousy, because maybe there's a little bit of both, but not entirely.
Zhan En: “…”
Zhan En: "Your Majesty——"
He made no real sound, yet it was enough for him to communicate with the gods.
The emotions coming from the connection deep in his soul were difficult to interpret, and it seemed that he didn't want to react any further.
So the Archbishop shut up.
He didn't dare and didn't want to hastily infer the god's intentions, so he could only stand there quietly, waiting for the little girl in front of him to gradually come to her senses.
“?!”
Su Cheng suddenly blinked.
The archbishop was looking at her thoughtfully, with an expression that was difficult to describe.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds.
Su Cheng: “…”
Su Cheng: "Did you see it? Did you see it too?"
Judging from his expression, he probably knew what happened.
"No," the blond youth said softly, "I can sense the presence of the Goddess of Joy, but not everyone is qualified or meets the requirements to witness her manifestation."
He paused for a moment. "Or at least at that moment, He only wanted you to see Him."
Su Cheng was silent for a few seconds, then touched his face and asked, "Is there a wine glass here?"
The archbishop nodded slightly.
Su Cheng: “…”
Was he really chosen?!
What did she do?
Beat the one favored by the God of Joy?
Did she break that domain?
According to her experience, among the series of messy things that happened before, there must be at least one thing that can reflect some of her "characteristics".
Then he met the God of Joy's selection criteria, or at least one of the criteria.
Su Cheng pondered carefully, "...Is it because I am very good at magnifying my own happiness? Or do I feel that what I did to him——"
"As far as I know," Zhan En hesitated, "the followers chosen by His Highness the God of Joy... are usually more difficult to find commonalities."
Unlike the Seven Gods of Glory or other main gods, as the subordinate god of the God of Love, the God of Joy, like the master he serves, rarely chooses his favored ones.
This is of course also less than other gods.
but--
Even some people in the southern continent, or even those who have been contaminated by heretical powers, may be chosen as the God of Joy's favored ones because of certain personality traits.
Even though he and the God of Love are allies of the God of Light, they don't seem to have so many scruples in this regard.
Of course, this situation is relatively rare.
Su Cheng: "...I like this sentence. I will never admit that I have any similarities with people like Qin Jing."
This is really unexpected.
She originally thought that the Grand Inquisitor was a person favored by God, and unlike herself, who was a half-baked person, that guy was actually quite old and had been a person favored by God for a long time. Maybe he had more exchanges with the gods, in other words, he had a better relationship with them.
What if the gods protect their own and hate her? Not every god is like someone who thinks about harming his own followers every day.
So I apologized.
result--
I haven't been able to fully grasp the power of the two main gods before, and now there is one more, I feel even more confused.
Zhan En couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, at least in my opinion, he is completely incomparable to you."
Su Cheng tilted his head and looked at him. "That guy is really annoying, right? I thought people like you would praise any colleague when mentioning him, or at least say something more polite."
"He certainly disregarded the law," the Archbishop shook his head slightly. "Not only did he harm the temple's guards, he also attacked you without authorization."
He paused. "If you hadn't expressed your intention to end the battle yourself, I would have done the same."
"Speaking of this," Su Cheng sighed, "He's not dead, right? Although I hope he is dead."
"Unfortunately, no." Zhan En shook his head again. "But he probably won't come to you in the short term. Even for him, after enduring the Lord God's divine punishment twice in one day, it will take some time to recover. The damage of this punishment not only affects the body, but also the soul. When you clashed with him in the legal domain, his mental state was actually affected."
The Archbishop paused briefly. "Of course, you were also under his control. Even if you managed to break free, you wouldn't be at your peak. So this was clearly a fair duel, and you won."
Su Cheng: “…”
The so-called means is actually the curse.
It's really troublesome to look at this thing.
Su Cheng looked at him, "Seriously, am I in trouble?"
In fact, she knew that the Grand Inquisitor was a very troublesome character, and if provoked, she would likely be entangled in various ways.
So she didn't really want to offend him.
But they came to her house to cause trouble and did that kind of thing to her directly, and she couldn't tolerate it.
"In my opinion," Zhan En mused, "you don't have to worry too much, because he is not a person who is... liked by most people."
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows. "You mean he has offended many people, and there are many people who have offended him, and I am not one of them?"
She couldn't help but think of Qin Jing thinking that she and Zhan En were accomplices.
In the original novel, Qin Jing did not appear so early. If he was now looking for trouble with Zhan En under the pretext of tracking down a fugitive, that would make sense.
After all, Lin Yun didn’t know the archbishop at all. If Qin Jing was just here to cause trouble for Zhan En, the focus might be on the latter.
And because of his acquaintance with the archbishop, he suffered an unexpected disaster?
Su Cheng: "Do you two have a grudge against each other?"
Zhan En raised his eyebrows slightly, "There is indeed a conflict between him and me, so I think it may be me who has implicated you."
Su Cheng couldn't help but be surprised.
He actually admitted it?
"I'm sorry," the Archbishop bowed to her. "It was my fault for not thinking things through. If I had invited you to stay in the temple last night, perhaps things would have been easier."
Su Cheng knew that even if he told her, she would still refuse, after all, she had to take medicine.
Su Cheng: "...It doesn't matter. That way he might think we're in the same group. Wait, is that fugitive really the Succubus King?"
Zhan En nodded slowly. "Under the Lightforged Seal, it's no exaggeration to say that his power is one-hundredth of what it was. For a succubus, that also includes his all-around appeal."
Su Cheng couldn't help laughing, "No wonder I think you are much more handsome than him, but I don't think it's necessarily because of the restriction."
He looked a little surprised, as if he didn't expect her to say that.
But he quickly realized, "Then I want to thank you for the compliment."
The blond young man lowered his eyes and looked at her, a smile in his emerald green eyes, as if he was really happy about the compliment.
Of course, that could just be an act.
Su Cheng thought uncertainly.
However, she didn't have time to think about it carefully.
After the power of the god faded, the euphoric happiness gradually dissipated, and then she began to be seized by another feeling.
——The cursed mark on his back was still hot, like a ignited flame, burning his spine.
"That's right."
Jenn pulled two letters from his pocket.
"Your letter of recommendation, and the letter I asked you to pass on to Duke Batten. If you need anything else, you can always come to me."
Su Cheng forced himself to stand up straight, took it and thanked him.
She was already somewhat exhausted, her arms were still trembling slightly, and her fingertips accidentally touched the other person's hand.
“!”
Su Cheng almost moaned.
Even though she didn't lose her composure too much, her unnatural reaction was quite obvious, not to mention her weak legs.
The blond young man paused, then quickly stretched out his arm and supported her elbow.
Su Cheng swayed a bit, but he held his arm to steady him, but the feeling became even more intense.
His body temperature should have been higher, but now she felt his hands were very cold, and the coldness seeped through his clothes and penetrated into her skin.
That felt quite comfortable.
Su Cheng's arm muscles were tense, and his fingertips almost subconsciously stretched out to rub his palms.
Zhan En looked at her in surprise.
"Sorry," Su Cheng coughed forcefully, "I'm not feeling well right now. You know, it might be because of my surname Qin."
There was a glint of understanding in the Archbishop's eyes.
Even though she has become a follower of the God of Joy, followers are not immune to the power of gods, and sometimes they are even more affected.
So if Qin Jing did something to her——
"I'm sorry," Zhan En apologized again, "I was just talking to the Holy City... No matter what the excuse is, it's my fault. How do you feel now?"
He paused, his voice becoming gentler. "If I can be of any help, please let me know."
Su Cheng raised his head and stared at him. "In fact, you can really--"
She looked into those beautiful, bright green eyes.
It's also green, but it looks much more pleasing to the eye than that poisonous snake.
Su Cheng breathed lightly and raised his hand to climb onto the man's strong arm.
"I'm not sure if it's because of the Qin guy or because of that prince's kiss, but I feel so hot right now..."
Her slender fingers slid across the cold, sharp epaulettes, followed the golden seal chain down, and touched the powerful muscles wrapped in the uniform.
"I think you can help me?"
Zhane looked down at her.
The girl tilted her head and leaned on his arm, her amber eyes staring at him, her long and thick eyelashes wet and trembling in the air.
Her breath seemed to exude sweetness when she spoke, a fragrance that blended the aroma of flowers and fruits, with the freshness of morning dew.
The smell instantly grabbed my mind.
He seemed to relax completely, and all his troubles and worries became unimportant.
The soul seemed to be about to break away from the body and rise to the sky in joy.
Zhan En: “…”
Zhane sighed softly.
It's clear that the Lord of Joy's new disciple is using her newfound powers, even if she may not realize it.
Or maybe it was intentional?
The archbishop leaned over slightly, picked up the hammer on the ground with his left hand, and glanced towards the end of the alley.
He casually grasped the hammer by its handle, not even fully gripping it, but using only three fingers, he lifted it easily to his side.
It looked like a wooden toy.
The blond young man sighed, then opened his arms and hugged the girl's slender waist.
"...Of course," his voice remained soft, "I'm happy to help you."
The next second, Su Cheng was picked up directly.
The archbishop looked down at her, his fine golden hair streaking across his face. His emerald eyes were like the rain-washed tundra, with a golden-green glow at the edges of his irises.
Then a heavy and dangerous aura emanated from it.
