Chapter 123
Al held back his laughter. "Or wife, which one do you think sounds better? Pick one."
Samuel knew from his expression that his partner was taking advantage of him verbally because he did not know the meaning of the strange language.
The hand on the young man's shoulder moved. Samuel pinched the back of his neck and snorted. "It's all right. I'll call you that too. Which one do you like, wife? Or daughter-in-law~"
The Lord God only listened to it once before repeating it. His pronunciation was very standard, his voice was deep and magnetic, and even more tender than Alnian's tone.
Al's neck was pinched by a slightly hot hand, and he was teased by Him. His scalp tingled and his body shrank. He gritted his teeth and continued to take advantage of me verbally, "You should call me husband!"
Samuel, who was tens of thousands of years old, was a very mature god. Although he knew something was wrong, he was willing to pamper his little partner. "Okay, husband, you can call me wife. These two words sound like a couple."
He could say it casually when teasing people, but he hesitated when he formally called Al. He soon realized that he was shooting himself in the foot. He couldn't call a tall and strong person his wife! It was also awkward to be called husband...
Tsk, he should have said that in another world, partners are called Ergou. It just so happens that this guy has two consciousnesses and two names, but each of them is like a family member to people, so calling him Ergou is very appropriate!
Samuel was still calling out the three names in turn, his lips curled up with pride, and it was obvious that he was teasing her, "Wife, why don't you say anything?"
Al held his forehead with his hand, unable to bear it any longer. He made an excuse, "It's better not to call it that. I forgot to mention that this is the name that couples call each other after marriage. It's not suitable for us."
The young man finished speaking and continued walking forward, strolling quietly. Samuel beside him seemed to be thinking about something.
He had never thought about getting married before. It was not because he didn't want to, but because the human race's ritual was too unfamiliar to him. He had never thought about it. He didn't care about a mere ritual. It was not as practical as a contract...
But now that the brat has mentioned it, does he want to marry Him?
Samuel narrowed his eyes, and suddenly felt that the ceremony was not completely useless. At least it could announce to outsiders that the cub was his...
With just a little thought, the God's possessiveness was greatly satisfied.
He took a step to the side and put his arm around his lover's shoulders again, as if half of his body was leaning towards her, and said in a cheerful tone, "If you want to get married, you can just tell me directly. Why are you still so shy after being together for so many years?"
"How can I have that???"
Al's eyes widened. What marriage? When did he ever say he wanted to get married?!
Hmm? This reminded him that ordinary lovers do get married after deciding to be together forever.
It’s just that he has a special status in this life, a long life, no one around him urges him to get married, and there are too many things to distract his attention, so he doesn’t think about such an important life event!
It's OK to invite relatives and friends to hold a ceremony, but that may have to wait a long time...
He told Samuel about his thoughts. The Lord God was easy to talk to. He had no obsession with human marriage rituals, nor did he think that the boy was a scumbag who was trying to seduce him. What was important was that the person was still by his side.
In the end, the Lord God decided without much thought that his partner would call him by his original name. How could a name that he had been used for tens of thousands of years be replaced by a name that had only been used for a few decades?
As for how He calls His partner, there are many ways. He uses brother, Your Highness, baby, wife... He rarely calls His partner by his name.
Sometimes when He hears humans saying cheesy words and using new names, such as sweetheart, He immediately puts them into practice. He thinks it’s fun to make people angry, and when He is ignored, He starts to apologize and coax people, but He will dare to do it again next time!
Another hundred years later——
Al and his crew ended their bloody journey decades ago.
In the royal city, there is the diligent Bishop Edgar handling internal affairs, in the branch court, there are workers selected by Al, and in addition, there are spies arranged by Moon keeping an eye on the situation in various places. Al has unloaded the burden that he had imposed on himself and finally started to enjoy his retirement life!
Although he is still the Son of God and still has the responsibility and power to manage the Holy See, he no longer has to worry about trivial matters, which in his eyes is equivalent to retiring early!
After telling the Bishop's Court that he had not practiced seriously for many years and planned to find a deserted place to practice, Al slipped away and returned to the royal city in a low-key manner every two or three years.
His Royal Highness the Son of God, who is as holy and beautiful as the moonlight, has not appeared in the public eye for a long, long time.
But until now, the legend of the two highnesses, the Son of Light and the Human Prince, is still circulating on the continent.
These two good friends and loyal knights are firm and fearless, just and kind, and they have mercy in their hearts.
The two princes are dedicated to finding out the greedy liars and demons in human skin, cleansing the sins, liberating the suffering souls from the exploiters, and giving the lives of the lower class a new look!
The people who witnessed the two princes' iron-blooded methods of wiping out evil have passed away, but their descendants love to tell these stories to their children. "The princes are powerful gods of law and swords! They have eternal life. As long as they are still here, the fallen souls will definitely be punished by God!"
The Lord of Light is far away in the realm of God and cannot see the sufferings of the human world, but the gods walking among the human world can see them.
The number of believers in the God of Light gradually decreased, and more believers entered the church were believers of His Royal Highness the Son of God. Although some people themselves were confused and thought they believed in the God of Light, their innermost thoughts would help them decide the direction of the power of faith. In addition to the Son of God, part of the faith that the gods wanted was even diverted to His Royal Highness the Prince.
The young man who stayed away from the crowd had no idea that he had been rumored to be a god of law. On this day, he returned to the royal city from the elves' land where he had stayed for a year.
Two tall figures suddenly appeared in a bedroom in Lancaster Manor. They were the owners of the bedroom.
It was great to use a space scroll to reach the destination directly, instead of spending more than ten days traveling back! And now he had a lot of space scrolls in his hand, it was even better to use one without feeling bad!
Al gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. Thanks to his good relationship with Dean Klevich back then, he was able to get so many space scrolls, and the dean didn't charge him any money!
It was then that Al realized that at the dean's level, space scrolls were very easy to make and not troublesome. Occasionally one was leaked to the outside world purely to make the scroll appear very precious, which was a form of hunger marketing. This was the tacit understanding of all space mages.
After spending two pleasant and harmonious days with his family at the manor, Al left his lover at home and went to the Vatican alone.
Samuel has become accustomed to this process, but he is still unhappy. If he had known that Ashburn would turn him into an underground lover who could not be seen in public, he should have killed that guy in his previous life!
In Bishop Edgar's little garden--
"Brother Al is back~ I missed you so much~ Did you bring a gift for Pedder?"
As soon as the silver-haired young man appeared, he was hugged by the waist. He stroked the boy's fluffy curly hair and asked with a smile: "Do you miss me or my gift?"
"Pedder wants to~"
A fifteen-year-old girl standing nearby blushed and agreed, "Mashi misses brother Al too... and there are gifts."
Edgar said solemnly, "Pede, Mashi, you are so old but still don't follow the etiquette. You should address Al as His Royal Highness the Holy Son."
After being criticized, the two juniors uttered "oh" in a long drawn-out tone, showing how reluctant they were.
The gentle young man curved his eyebrows and said, "It's okay. I like them calling me brother. It makes me feel young. This is much better than the two little guys calling Abner uncle."
He gave a Rubik's Cube toy to Ped and a mermaid pearl bracelet to Mashi. The children who had just been criticized immediately smiled and stayed close to their most admired brother and refused to leave.
Edgar laughed and shook his head, "You're going to spoil them."
"Don't worry, I believe in your ability, Bishop. You have taught every child well." Al handed the old man the gift. "By the way, why don't I see Chris? Is he in the Vatican today?"
Pedder next to him answered quickly, "I know. Brother Chris went to Korowai Canyon. A priest reported that there were suspected traces of dark monsters there!"
The young man nodded. "Chris is already a high-level magician. It's time for him to go out and explore more."
Chris, Mashi, and Pedder are all people with light talents discovered in the past hundred years. In addition to the Bishop, Al also participated in their teaching and had a great influence on the formation of their values.
When His Royal Highness the Saint Son left the royal city, the people he contacted the most were his three juniors. He cared about their studies, their moods, and their lives... He was like a brother and a father to them.
People around him thought that Al particularly liked children, but in fact... he was just worried that the next Son of God, the future Pope, would be taught to be a radical and devout believer, so he often kept an eye on them and taught them some truths subtly while playing with them.
Edgar chatted with the young man for a while, then glanced at the two children who were fidgeting on their chairs. "I don't think you can continue studying. Forget it. Al rarely comes back, so let's end the get out of class early today and go play."
The two children praised sweetly, "Your Excellency the Bishop, you are the best~", then pulled brother Al's sleeves from the left and right and wanted to leave.
Al said goodbye to the bishop, "I'll check how they are doing later."
After leaving the bishop's temple, the two children wanted to go to the back mountain to play World of Warcraft, and Al would naturally satisfy this little hobby.
He casually asked if the two had been obedient recently and if they had made the bishop angry. Mashi proudly said, "When I was Peder's age, I had memorized the canon law and the hymn of light, but Peder always forgets what he has memorized and often makes the bishop angry. Peder is so stupid~"
Al patted her head gently and said gently, "Pedder is just not good at memorizing things, but he learns other things very quickly. You can't say he is stupid."
"oh……"
The boy pouted and complained quietly, "I just can't remember such boring things."
Mashi threatened him, "Ha! You said the Praise of Light is boring? I'm going to tell His Eminence the Bishop!"
Peide is not afraid of her, "Humph~ Then I will also complain, don't think I don't know about those story books you secretly read."
Mahi jumped up and hurried to cover his mouth.
Al separated the two children. "What storybook?"
Of course, Peide would not hide it from his favorite brother, "It's 'Chasing Wife Crematorium: The Fugitive Succubus Lover of the Cold Sky Clan'"
"Cough..." Al was choked.
Mashi was so scared that she looked around to see if there was anyone else nearby, "Keep your voice down! Damn...how did you know that?"
The girl looked at the silver-haired young man awkwardly, "Brother Al, please don't tell the Bishop."
Al was silent for a moment, "No... You can see that I don't care about these things, but I can't let them affect my studies at the academy."
Mashi made the promise happily. Hehe, brother Al is the most open-minded!
Al didn't ask what was in the storybook, because this... was what he brought up from the abyss.
After he reformed the Vatican, he did not allow priests to talk about darkness and the devil all day long and cause panic among the people.
Today, more than a hundred years later, ordinary people still think that dark talents and dark races are not good, but their attitude is much better than before, when they were terrified and wanted to eradicate heretics immediately.
Because the priests and the schools founded by Her Majesty the Queen teach that what you hear is not as true as what you see, extremists now only make up a small minority.
In the past few years, Al thought about spreading the stories written by the demons to the mortal world, so that humans could slowly let go of their prejudice against the dark race through leisure and entertainment. So he picked some stories about emotional entanglements, and the story that Mashi read was one of them.
But he also cannot let the human race have the impression that the demons are all naive. No matter which race, there are good and bad ones, so we still have to remain vigilant. So he picked some stories in the style of Long Aotian's upgrade to show that the demons are ambitious and powerful.
Come to think of it… He was the one who came up with the names of those stories. What had he not seen when he was surfing the Internet in his previous life? He just borrowed the popular styles.
After hearing this, the author of Demon Clan was astonished, and looked at the silver-haired envoy as if he were a close friend!
When the human race saw the titles of these books for the first time, their faces wrinkled into a ball, and they were filled with question marks - what kind of strange thing is this? I know every word, but why can't I understand it when they are connected together?
How dare someone write a story about a dark race?!
How could the sacred Celestial Clan have any emotional entanglement with the man-eating Demon Clan? !
Humans, especially believers of light, are very angry, but... but... damn, this book title is too tempting!
When they finish reading, they will find the person who wrote the story and scold him severely, saying what a mess he wrote! He must be a pagan!
Later... more and more people went to bookstores every day to see if there were any new books. Some smart people were even inspired and started to create their own human version of Long Aotian's upgrade flow and love story.
Thanks to Her Majesty the Queen's establishment of schools, after so many years, most of the poor civilians can now read, so storybooks quickly became popular.
Humans subconsciously began to think that the personalities of the dark races were quite similar to humans. Some were greedy and cruel, but not every demon was like that.
The bishop's court also discovered these storybooks. In the eyes of radicals, these are completely banned books and should all be collected and burned!
But bookstores have become another major taxpayer besides the Aire chain. Whenever the Vatican takes action, the nobles and bureaucrats will try to stop it. In addition, the priests of the various chapters are not as radical as their predecessors... The destruction of books cannot be carried out at all and can only be allowed to spread.
Al had never expected that those with light-type talents, who were the most opposed to darkness, were addicted.
Well... I wish Mashi good luck and don't let Bishop Edgar find her, otherwise he won't be able to save her.
——
Just as the development of the human race was getting on the right track, in the divine realm far above the sky, the golden-eyed god awakened again without any warning.
