Chapter 977 [View] Can I have a pineapple?
He was silent for a moment, then finally replied, "Keep both bloodlines."
R smiled and nodded. "No problem."
"Then I'll keep an eye on him for now."
Seeing this, Morataya pointed to the guy on the bed and spoke up.
“Then come with me, Nathaniel.” R gently patted Morataya’s head, then turned to Nathaniel with a smile.
Nathaniel's eyes flickered slightly. After putting Alex down, he followed him out of the room.
R led him to the attic above and handed him a necklace. “This necklace allows you to hide your wings at will. Try wearing it and see if you can control them.”
Nathaniel looked down at the silver necklace, reached out and took it, then put it around his neck.
He tried to control it as R had instructed, and the necklace flashed. At the same time, he felt a slight itch from where the wings grew on his back.
He glanced back and saw that his wings were indeed gone. Through the mirror not far behind him, he looked no different from a human, but that did not prevent him from still moving with agility.
R smiled and said, "Since you have come to the human world from the angelic realm, you should try your best to abide by the rules here. Try not to use your magic from your side, and try not to use it in front of humans."
Nathaniel nodded to indicate that he understood.
“Now, I’ll help you separate the two bloodlines,” R said, then pointed to the chair next to him. “Sit down.”
Nathaniel obediently sat down.
R casually tapped him twice, seemingly effortlessly pulling out the almost fused angelic and demonic bloodline powers within him.
The moment the power was unleashed, Nathaniel felt a wave of weakness and involuntarily closed his eyes.
Looking at the red and blue colors that are intertwined, R raised his other hand and placed it below the mass of power.
The two forces, like kittens and puppies who have seen cat treats and smelled snacks, separated from the ground and floated to his hand, where they clumped together.
After checking, R pulled back the mischievous demon bloodline that had wandered off to the angel bloodline, and then placed the two equally powerful forces back into Nathaniel's body.
Nathaniel opened his eyes again, and the pupils of his eyes returned to one red and one blue.
R looked at him with a smile, "You can control both forces freely, but you may need some learning methods."
Having said that, a book appeared out of thin air in his hand and he handed it to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel: "?"
He opened the book and looked at it.
"..."
It's so complicated, I don't quite understand it.
R looked at him, seemingly realizing something as well. He remained silent for two seconds, then said, "Come here."
Nathaniel followed him out of the church, holding the book in his hand.
Under R's teaching and guidance, he quickly mastered the basics, which suited him very well.
Nathaniel remained silent throughout, only expressing his questions, until the very end when he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you a magician?"
R paused slightly, then smiled gently, "Having more skills is never a bad thing."
Nathaniel: "..."
“I’ll teach you something else. Once you’ve mastered it, you won’t need to wear a necklace to hide your wings.” R ignored his speechlessness and spoke with a smile.
Nathaniel nodded, no longer dwelling on it, "Okay."
...
Two hours have passed.
“Let’s go. Judging by the time, Ellex should be waking up soon.” R said as he turned and went back to the church.
Nathaniel didn't ask why he knew their names; perhaps he wouldn't get an answer anyway, so it was better not to ask at all.
Such powerful individuals often possess many secrets.
Before they entered the room, Ellex, who had been unconscious for several days, finally woke up, his light purple eyes filled with confusion.
"You're awake."
A sweet, somewhat childish female voice suddenly rang in his ears. A question mark appeared above Elex's head. He sat up and turned to look at the side, where he met a pair of tea-green eyes.
Morataya smiled at him, "Hi~"
Alex knew she meant no harm, blinked, and blurted out, "Witch?"
"Hmm? You can tell? Is it that obvious?" Morataya opened her arms and looked down at herself a few times.
“I can tell, but it’s not because it’s obvious or not.” Elex said, then looked around and asked in surprise, “Where’s Nassar?”
“He was called away by the Godfather to deal with the bloodline issue,” Morataya replied slowly, lowering her hands.
Alex nodded.
Just then, Nathaniel and R returned.
Seeing that Alex had already woken up, Nathaniel quickened his pace, "Lex!"
El looked up at him, flashed a big smile, and opened his arms wide. "Hey, Nassar, it's so good to see you're alright!"
Nathaniel paused, his eyes lowered, speechless for a moment. "...That's what I wanted to say."
"Huh? Shouldn't you be rushing over and hugging me?"
Elex blinked, then looked dejected, covering his face with one hand and pretending to be very sad.
Nathaniel: "...Not that bad."
Seeing the pink-haired youth twitching in his shoulders, and with the two people beside him seemingly watching a show, Nathaniel helplessly walked over and hugged him, lowering his eyes and sincerely whispering, "It's so good that you've woken up."
Alex was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and ruffled his hair.
Morataya, watching from the side, widened the corners of her mouth in a smile.
"Really, brotherhood is forever."
—From Liu Qingyao, who can chatter about anything.
"Really, I can appreciate and respect any kind of situation."
—From "My CP is real" by Morataya.
"Wow, the atmosphere's already here, so what's next?"
—From Bertrand, who "loves to watch the excitement."
"Goose, goose, goose, goose..."
—From Behringer, who "doesn't know much but participates".
“(￣▽￣)”
—From other people.
Nathaniel pulled Ellex's hand away from his head and sat down beside him.
Morataya rested her chin on her hand and looked at Ellex. "Your health isn't looking too good."
Alex remained smiling. "Oh, of course I know my own body."
"So what are your plans next...?" Morataya raised an eyebrow, drawing out the last syllable.
Alex picked up a feather and used it as a pen, holding it in his hand. He spoke seriously and solemnly: "Make a will."
Nathaniel: "..."
Morataya: "..."
“Just kidding.” Elex chuckled, twirling the base of the feather between his fingers to examine its luster. “Hmm… if nothing unexpected happens, my life force is less than a tenth of what it used to be, enough to sustain me for another four or five years.”
He clicked his tongue and remarked, "Indeed, they are ruthless."
Upon hearing this, Nathanael's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he glanced at him sideways.
Noticing his gaze, Elex turned to look at him with a smile, "You don't want me to die? Then study hard? What if you find a way to break the taboo?"
Nathaniel's lips twitched slightly, his expression remaining calm. He responded with a soft "Hmm..."
The room fell silent for a moment.
Morataya raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Nathaniel. "If you're not going to rest, I'll take you to the library first."
Nathaniel paused, then nodded. "Okay."
"Then let's go."
After they left one after the other, the two smiling people who were still standing there looked at each other.
"Did you come to the mortal realm because you couldn't bear it anymore, High Priest?" R chuckled and took a sip of tea.
“…It’s more than just unbearable.” Alex smirked slightly, then paused, looking at R with surprise. “How did you know?”
"Oh dear, I almost thought that Zhenzhi and Mr. R knew each other." Liu Qingyao frowned, staring at the screen with a troubled expression.
Behrfinger, holding half a watermelon, said, "Me too (chew, chew, chew)."
R smiled but did not answer.
Instead, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Alex looked up.
R turned around, slightly surprised. "Sir, why did you suddenly come back?"
"It was indeed very sudden."
"Sir," seemingly ignoring the question, walked to the bedside, glanced at Ellex a few times, and asked, "Which generation of High Priest are you?"
Elex stared at him silently for two seconds. "It's exactly the 200th generation."
The man clicked his tongue lightly and leaned back. "Interesting."
There was no chair behind him, but a soft chair suitable for lying down appeared just as he sat down.
He spoke lazily, "Tell me about what's been happening in the realms of angels and demons lately?"
Elex was even more puzzled. "I sensed the aura of an angel on you. Are you an angel too?"
"Ah, that? No, but you could say that." The man's tone was vague.
R covered his mouth and chuckled softly, saying gently, "Sir, you are the first generation of High Priest of Angels."
Alex: ? ? ?
"ha!?"
He widened his eyes slightly in shock, and did some quick calculations. "On average, each high priest succeeds to the throne after a hundred years. If you were the first high priest... you'd be twenty thousand years old... huh?"
He paused, then seemed to remember something and turned to look at R. "He's 20,000 years old. And you?"
R smiled and said, "Don't overthink it, my age is within the normal range."
"……oh."
Alex paused for a moment, then looked at the man again, "Would you mind if I saw what you look like?"
He waited a moment but the man didn't answer, so he thought he wasn't going to show himself. But then the man, who had been silent as if he were asleep, suddenly spoke up: "Which appearance are you referring to?"
Alex: "?"
The man lifted his hood, revealing a face so beautiful it was hard to tell if he was male or female.
R, who was standing next to him, glanced at his hair and eye color. "Sir, did you go to the Blue Magic Family and pretend to be an elder?"
The man smoothed his blue hair and said lazily, "Yeah, it's been quite interesting over there lately."
"What?" Alex asked, a little curious.
The man rested his hand on his temple, squinting his eyes, looking drowsy. "I heard that another little one with the Eye of Prophecy was born over there. I originally wanted to steal... bring him back to see, but unfortunately I was delayed by other things, and by the time I got there, he had already been sent away."
Alex: "...Huh?"
R explained from the side.
Elex nodded knowingly, then looked at him with a complicated expression. "As expected of humans, they always like to see things that are different as aliens."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Well, the angels are pretty much the same in some respects."
"You just wanted to see what I looked like when I was pretending to be the High Priest in the Angel race?" The man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ellex.
A pair of blue eyes were devoid of emotion and desire, yet her tone sounded languid and weary.
Alex nodded silently, and then saw the man who had received the correct answer snap his fingers, and his appearance and figure changed.
Looking at the white-haired, blue-eyed youth before him, Elex remained silent. "It really is you, High Priest."
He sighed softly, then asked curiously, "So what was your reason for leaving in the first place?"
"Because I was really bored, I faked my death and went to the demon race to pretend to be the demon king for fun." The man squinted his eyes and casually brushed away some strands of hair that had gotten into them.
Alex: "...This looks so free and fun."
I'm suddenly so envious!
“It’s time.” The man suddenly stood up, pulled his hood back up, and then reached out to pat R’s head. “Let’s go, Hyacinth.”
R stood up helplessly. "Do you have to use all sorts of different words to address me, sir?"
"Aren't you happy, little pineapple?"
R: "...Would you like some pineapple, sir?"
"Ah, almost, but not this one."
“That’s a pineapple, sir.”
"That's the one."
"..."
As the chatter faded and disappeared, Elex's lips twitched slightly, and he rubbed his temples before lying back down.
"...Can I have a pineapple, Pineapple Godfather?" Morataya joked.
One after another, bursts of laughter rang out from the side.
R:^-^
...
Library.
After Nathaniel was brought there by Morataya, he went straight to the book containing the taboos of the angel race.
Although there are only a few dozen books compared to other types, they come in various thicknesses.
Nathaniel first took a few books to the side and carefully flipped through them. If he didn't find one, he would take another and repeat this process.
But this place is not the Angel race, and the taboos are inherently mysterious. He read through all the relevant books but still couldn't find any taboos on Elex.
Nathaniel began to look at other things.
"You finished reading all of this in less than two days?"
Seeing that he hadn't come out, fearing he might starve to death inside, Morataya came over to check on him. She glanced at the books piled next to Nathaniel and exclaimed in surprise.
"……Um."
"You should rest for a bit. Don't rush things if you can't find it." Morataya sat down, holding her skirt, and tidied up the books scattered on the ground.
“Read this book,” Nathaniel replied calmly.
Morataya glanced at the book that was still more than half-finished in his hand, "..."
