Chapter 45
"Then, what about me? What should I do?!" Raymond asked in disbelief.
For the first time, Raymond controlled his temper and spoke all kinds of praise to a human being. For the first time, he still had the audacity to move forward after being rejected many times. He even got beaten every now and then because of this person, but he didn't give up. Didn't all these persistence move this cruel human being in the slightest?
Did he make a mistake after all?
Raymond knew Yaerlin from the same class, of course. If the knight this candidate found was stronger than him, it would be a reason. But the problem was! Yaerlin was no match for him!
Before this, he had never noticed that the two had any contact, so why could Yaerlin, a latecomer, be directly hired? !
Raymond had never suffered such a great injustice! When he was about to beat up his old classmate to vent his anger——
Elphis smiled meaningfully: "Your sincerity touched me, so you are also hired."
The sturdy young man with an old look was startled when he heard this, then he breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "I will be the sharpest sword in your hand."
At this time, Winster was the only anxious person. If he didn't have the identity to stay by his brother's side openly, what should he do when the other party returned to the Vatican to live for a long time or was sent to handle affairs?
Samuel has lived for a long time and has become bored and uninterested in everything. Winster is not sure whether he is born this way or influenced by Samuel, but he also finds it difficult to find things that interest him.
When he was with his brother, even if he just sat quietly and did nothing, Winster felt a lazy sense of comfort.
But if he couldn't see his brother for a long time, he would feel tired and even irritated, and he didn't know what else to do besides improving his strength.
Winster has always wanted to grow up quickly and become stronger, but he is also worried that when he grows up, his brother will no longer trust him and will no longer keep him by his side to take care of him.
Just like now, my brother has found two outsiders to work for him, so will he still keep me around...
Winster frowned and looked at the other person. There was grievance and expectation in his deep black eyes. "Brother, what about me?"
Elphis gave him a calming look and said to the other two, "You have been in the same class for several years, but your relationship seems average. I don't want to see my two knights become strangers. Why don't you have a good chat and get to know each other better?"
"I have just discussed the treatment with Yaerlin. Raymond can just ask him. If you have any concerns or questions, you can tell me later."
Raymond looked at his future colleague. Although Yaerlin was inferior to him in terms of strength, he was far ahead in the monthly written test. In addition, he had a cold and aloof temperament. He was completely different from him. He didn't expect to work with this guy in the future...
He was actually not very happy about it, because Yarlin seemed to be a very meticulous person, and Raymond had a secret, so naturally he didn't like to come into contact with this kind of person.
However, this job was hard-earned, and Raymond was so excited that he ignored the suspicious fact that his employer had no curiosity about him. What was the big deal about talking to his colleagues?
——
Elphis took Winster back to the dormitory and said with a smile: "You want to be my knight too?"
Winster's expression was very serious. "Yes, I said I wanted to protect my brother. If I didn't have this identity, I wouldn't be able to enter the Vatican."
"No." That was the problem. "You can't enter the Vatican. It's too dangerous for you."
There were too many light mages with unfathomable strength there, and he was not sure whether those people would be aware of Winster's talent. Moreover, it was said that the will of the gods was always paying attention to that place, and if it was true, they might even create some miracles as a reminder if they saw Winster.
Elphis had made up his mind and remained unmoved no matter how Winster assured him that he would not be discovered.
The young man lowered his eyes, ignoring his brother who was squatting beside his legs and acting like a spoiled child (?), and focused on fiddling with the ball of light in his hand, controlling it to turn into a long strip, condensing into delicate scales...
"Tsk, you like snakes?"
“……”This is a dragon!
As expected, Elphis waited for Samuel to appear. He dispersed the elements and prepared for a new round of entanglement.
The secondary personality may not appear once a month, but Elphis has summarized the pattern of his appearance - he feels that he has done something that is not to his liking, or he becomes rebellious and comes out to oppose him.
For example, when they learned that he was going back to the Church to pay tribute, they mocked him, saying, "Aren't you my servant? Why are you serving other gods? For such a blatant act of deceiving God, what kind of punishment do you think you should receive?"
Elphis looked at the little idiot through a filter and quickly adapted to the oppressive aura brought by Samuel's appearance. He coaxed him in a gentle voice: "I hate the God of Light the most. When I recite the hymn, I only think of you. All the praises and blessings are for you." But in fact, he was thinking of the God of Wealth.
Samuel didn't see him muster up any faith, and immediately snorted, calling him a slick little brat. But he was not a believer of Ashburn, so he let him go this time.
Obviously, He is a dangerous person of unknown origin, but the little boy does not seem to be alert at all. Samuel thinks he is stupid, but at the same time, he is inevitably pleased by his trust and closeness. It is rare to have a human that he likes, so he hopes that the little boy will be sensible and become a true believer of Him as soon as possible.
“From now on, you are not allowed to believe in any other gods except me, otherwise…” Samuel narrowed his eyes slightly, and was quite curious about the expression of the little guy who always had everything under control when he was trapped in the abyss by Him.
Elphis understood it as an insecure child's possessiveness towards his parents, which was exactly the same as Winster's, but the way of expression was very different. The handsome young man showed an inclusive smile, "Okay, I will only believe in Samuel from now on."
The Lord God thought that the boy's attitude was very improper, but he smiled very obediently and spoke nicely, so he didn't use any means to scare him. It was nice to keep him around to entertain himself.
After Samuel left, Elphis began to persuade Winster, who had returned, not to be jealous of the secondary personality again.
In addition to teaching Elphis how to be a qualified servant of God, Samuel will also appear when Winster is rejected, such as now and at this moment.
Samuel has always wanted to get whatever he wants since he was born, and he has developed a domineering and self-centered personality. Of course, he would not allow a weak human to reject him in such a small matter.
"If I really want to enter the Vatican, you can't stop me. Why don't you just be a good boy and take me in."
Elphis looked helplessly at the secondary personality leaning comfortably on his bed and said, "Why do you want to go too?" Winster wanted to protect him, but it didn't mean that Samuel cared about him that much?
His black eyes lazily looked at the human beside him, and the Lord God was very honest: "I don't like being rejected."
Elphis didn't know whether to laugh or cry, adding the attribute of rebellion to this little chuunibyou.
"Aren't you worried about being discovered for your dark talent?"
Samuel sneered, "A bunch of rubbish, how could they possibly see my problem? Even if I use the magic crystal, I can't get any result."
Hiss... so arrogant! Elphis pretended to be disappointed and teased him, "Samuel, do you think I am also a waste?"
The god raised his eyelids and glanced at the little cub who was hit so hard that his fur was not so bright, and reluctantly comforted him: "You are a cute little piece of trash." After a pause, Samuel belatedly warned: "Don't call me by my taboo name."
"..." It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Elphis decided to wait until he becomes a god of magic before teaching his third brother what filial piety and politeness are.
"Why doesn't the magic crystal work on you?"
Samuel was too lazy to explain in detail, and just briefly summarized: "I can seal the dark physique."
Elphis vaguely felt that the secret of the secondary personality was only the tip of the iceberg, and he didn't know what adventures he had when he was alone outside.
The silver-haired young man sighed helplessly, "Okay, I agree to what Winster said, but don't mess around in the Vatican."
Since he couldn't control Samuel anyway, he might as well agree to keep him by his side and watch over him. "Tell me in advance before you cause any trouble. Be careful and don't get caught."
There is no one who doesn't like to be the one who is favored. Even gods, as long as they have emotions of joy and anger, will naturally be moved to some extent.
It was precisely because the kid was so sensible before he knew His origins and abilities that Samuel was more patient with him.
He didn't think that the Holy See, a force established by weak humans, was worth attacking. The little guy might think that he hated it. In fact, Samuel didn't have any feelings about the situation of his new body.
But Samuel did not make any promises to Elphis explicitly. The boy was not yet a qualified servant of God, let alone a qualified believer. If he agreed to whatever Elphis said, wouldn't the other party soon become arrogant?
Samuel snorted and let himself fall into a deep sleep again.
After Winster came back, he recalled what had just happened in the blink of an eye. The young man's eyes darkened - why did his brother favor that guy so much? The same thing would be directly agreed to by Samuel, but he couldn't get it no matter how hard he tried...
Samuel had a unique and powerful aura. As soon as Winster came back, Elfs could immediately tell it. Seeing him staring at the ground without saying anything, he asked with a smile: "Didn't I promise you could follow me like Raymond and the others? Why are you still unhappy?"
Winster curved his eyebrows and said, "I'm not unhappy. I will be careful."
Winster is a very well behaved boy, unlike Samuel whose mood is hard to figure out, so there is no need for Elphis to concentrate too much when chatting with him.
The young man lay back on the recliner, controlling the elemental ball in his hand while reminding Winster, "Pay attention to Raymond. I think this guy is a little strange."
Winster walked over, casually sat cross-legged on the ground, and leaned his head against the chair. Although there was no physical contact, it still seemed very intimate.
"Yarlin just showed up today. Brother seems to trust him very much?"
"I've met him a few times before, and I can't say I trust him much, but I feel he's a good candidate for a knight."
In the previous Holy Light Salvation Meetings that Elphis participated in, Yarlin, a swordsman who had no illness or disaster and did not look like a believer in God, stayed in the crowd from beginning to end.
His cold temperament and upright posture were too conspicuous among the common people, and Elphis, who was above him, could easily notice him.
When he met him today, Elphis could vaguely feel that Yarlin really had respect and trust in him, and he was just missing something to condense the power of faith... This thought came suddenly, but it did not prevent him from feeling that this person was useful both rationally and intuitively.
"As for Raymond, he is somewhat conflicted..."
After spending a semester at Rockefeller, Elphis certainly noticed Raymond's attitude towards others. According to his nature, it was normal for him to sneer at the strict Vatican. Why had he wanted to go there for many years?
Elphis asked Teacher Jared for Raymond's hometown and sent someone to inquire about his birthplace.
That was a very ordinary story about repaying a favor.
Raymond's family was very ordinary. They lived on the edge of a small town. His mother made money by making clothes for others, and his father grew crops and sold vegetables.
One day, a colorful snake crawled into the house. Only the family knew what happened. As a result, both the parents were bitten and poisoned. The neighbors invited the church pastor, who was also a wood wizard, to help.
The priest removed the snake venom, and the parents, who were breathing weakly, regained their vitality. The refreshing light green light seemed like a miracle to young Raymond!
Since then, little Raymond often went to the church. Perhaps because he had heard too many stories that made the Holy See seem sacred and powerful, he had always longed to join this place, hoping to serve the Holy See in order to repay its kindness.
Raymond's background and experience were very simple. Elphis did not find anything suspicious, except for one thing - with his talent, it would be easy for him to work in the Vatican in the future, so why did he have to follow him?
Raymond spoke enthusiastically, but he was not as sincere as Yaerlin. He refused and was beaten without giving up. It was hard not to suspect that he had ulterior motives...
Elphis briefly explained his doubts, and Winster frowned: "Why not catch him secretly and torture him."
There are already people in the dark camp who will target my brother. Wouldn't it be more dangerous to have an unstable factor around him?
"...This is not good." Although there is no criminal law to restrain him, Elphis would not be so arrogant. He was just suspicious and there was no need to make such a big fuss.
The young man's lips curved slightly, revealing an expectant smile. "Besides, solving puzzles is also an interesting thing. Indiscriminate use of violence will reduce a lot of the fun. Well... I think Samuel would think so too."
Isn't the secondary personality always boring? Then add a long drama to the dull life.
Winster nodded calmly, but couldn't help but gnashing his teeth in hatred...
Leng Ning's brows suddenly relaxed, and Samuel stood up, his slightly narrowed eyes revealing a hint of subtle joy.
He looked at this little boy who was becoming more and more favored by him, reached out and touched his hair, and patiently reminded him again: "How many times have I told you not to call me by my taboo name, and don't take advantage of my favor to be so unscrupulous."
Elphis: "..." Is this an illusion? I feel like this guy is petting a pet.
"Sorry, I often forget because I want to be closer to you." He endured it!
“Heh~”
——
The semester ended, and after a long vacation, it was the last few months before Elphis graduated.
The sixth graders will no longer stay in the academy for classes, and both academies have arranged for students to travel far away for training.
With the class as a team, you can either go to a place with a beast tide to practice, or catch a notorious and powerful wanted criminal, or investigate some suspicious deaths...
There are many things you can do when running around. Behind every class there is a powerful teacher as a backer. Except for helping when someone is about to die, the teacher will not get involved in anything on a daily basis.
Elphis was enjoying his free time outside without having to go back to the Vatican. As for Winster, he had to stay in the academy and learn from the teachers about the strengths of various schools.
After Alphis came back from his training, he secretly came to Rockefeller, wanting to see if his brother had made friends while he was away, whether he was living a good life, and more importantly - whether he had fallen in love prematurely?
Oh, Winster is an adult, so it’s not considered premature love.
Anyway, at this age, hormones are running wild, so it is normal to have feelings for the opposite sex. Elphis really wants to know what it's like when his younger brother falls in love.
But... do Winster and Samuel have the same criteria for choosing a partner?
As a good brother, Elphis felt that he was really worried!
He had been an exchange student at Rockefeller and was not considered an outsider, so the gatekeeper did not stop him.
Winster didn't like staying in the classroom, and he didn't find anyone in the dormitory, so Elphis went to the arena and saw someone as expected.
The handsome young man with black eyes had obviously grown taller than when he first entered school, and his temperament was dangerous. Elphis looked at his tired and irritated appearance, and blinked in confusion. For a moment, he couldn't tell which personality this was...
