Chapter 008 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
When there was a knock on the door, Bai Su had just picked up the water-soaked rice seeds.
Allen and Gabi looked at each other, turned into little tigers, and ran upstairs - Bai Su had told them not to go out, and if any guests came to the house, they had to hide quickly, otherwise they would be caught.
The two little tigers are still illegal immigrants on the surface. If they are discovered, Bai Su will be in trouble as well.
Seeing that there were no obvious flaws in the house, Bai Su wiped his hands and hurried to open the door.
"Good day, farmer." Keos greeted calmly, not letting Bai Su see his embarrassment.
Bai Su widened his eyes in surprise.
The centaur in front of him looked like it was carefully dressed up. Its semi-long gray hair was all gathered behind its head and combed into a loose fishbone braid; its light brown fur was as smooth and shiny as if it had been waxed; the hair on its hooves was trimmed very short, and the horseshoes seemed to be newly replaced, reflecting a bright white light under the sunlight.
Realizing that Bai Su was looking at him, Keos took two steps awkwardly.
"Keos, you look so radiant today!" Bai Su exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
It was obvious that only the horse's body had been trimmed, but when Bai Su looked at Keos's broad and strong chest muscles, he just thought he was extremely handsome.
Oh my god! Are the horses in your magical world really so ridiculously handsome?
Bai Su even felt his gay sex was aroused.
"Thank you," said Keos, "Actually, I'm here to take you to the Vatican for blessings."
Bai Su reminisced and actually remembered that they had a conversation about his gold cake the day before yesterday.
——Next time I’m on vacation, I’ll take you to the Vatican to find the high priest and ask him to enchant your gold.
——The enchanted gold has positive magical power and can bless your farm with a good harvest.
Bai Su gestured for him to look at the water stains on his clothes from labor: "Would you mind coming in and waiting for me for a while?"
After Keos entered the house, he just stood in the living room for a while very politely, without any intention of prying into his privacy. Seeing this, Bai Su left him on the first floor with confidence and went back to the master bedroom on the second floor to change clothes.
Changing clothes was secondary. The main thing was to tell the two little tigers that I had to go out for something and that there was ready-made food in the cupboard. I asked them to be careful at home and not be discovered.
After instructing the two children, Bai Su changed into more formal clothes, took his purse, and went out with Keos.
"Thank you, Keos. I almost forgot about the gold - I've been too busy these past two days. Luckily you reminded me." Keos actually came to him early in the morning on his day off and took him to the Vatican personally. Bai Su would be lying if he said he wasn't touched.
He was even a little flattered.
"No need to thank me. You're the only farmer in town, and everyone is looking forward to your bountiful harvest." Although Keos said you're welcome, his ponytail rippled with joy at the young man's sincere thanks. "So, tell me about your hybrid rice."
When it comes to this, Bai Su gets excited.
"I have completed the drying, sterilization and seed soaking parts. Although there was a small accident during the seed soaking, it went smoothly overall."
"The next step is to dry the seeds again and then start germination."
"Can you imagine, such a small seedling?" Bai Su picked a few foxtail grasses from the wildflowers on the roadside and gestured to Keos, "Just one of these can produce 800 seeds."
"But eight hundred seeds are still too few for my land." Bai Su couldn't help but sigh when he said this.
Keos smiled softly and said, "Then, this is exactly the problem we are going to solve today."
He was so eager to take Bai Su to the Vatican to enchant the gold not only because Faria advised him to take the initiative to date Bai Su.
More importantly, Keos asked his father, the former Centaur King and current Minister of Military Affairs, and learned that the prophecy about the stowaway orcs was likely to come true in the food crisis.
In fact, there were signs of food shortages several months ago - after the hurricane, small towns were no longer willing to supply each other with food as before, and food prices were quietly rising. Recently, it has reached a level that cannot be ignored.
In a short while, maybe in a month, maybe in half a year, everyone will realize that food has become more expensive, and once people start hoarding food, things will become more difficult.
What a coincidence, Bai Su appeared.
There was even a crop called hybrid rice that he had never heard of, and a piece of gold that had not yet been enchanted.
Keos has reason to believe that all this is not just a coincidence.
·
The Church of the Wenk Empire has many similarities with the Western Church in Bai Su's original world - believing in the only creator, building branch churches in various places, and educating the people.
The high priest is the highest-ranking clergyman in the Holy See and possesses extremely profound divine powers. It is the high priest that Bai Su and the others are looking for today.
Unexpectedly, I came up empty-handed.
"The high priest went to the Holy Mountain the day before yesterday and hasn't returned yet," a bishop explained to them, "but you two can go see the Holy Son—the new Holy Son has great power and can even sense God."
Bai Su didn't understand this, so he didn't respond and let Keos make the decision.
Keos was a little confused.
First of all, he really didn't expect that the high priest who had always stayed in the capital would suddenly leave the Vatican and go to the Holy Mountain without a word. This had never happened before.
Secondly, as far as he knew, the Wenk Empire had not had a Holy Son for nearly fifty years.
The successive Holy Sons of the Wenk Empire were all born spiritual beings, able to hear oracles. The selection of Holy Sons was extremely demanding, and often, if there was no suitable candidate, the position would remain vacant indefinitely.
The new Holy Son was only chosen three days ago, and the Holy See has not even had time to hold a formal inauguration ceremony for him.
Keos was unsure if he had enough power to enchant Bai Su's gold.
After all, Bai Su's piece of gold is very large, and it is even related to the upcoming food crisis, so there must not be any mistakes.
Seeing the hesitation on Keos's face, the bishop reminded him, "Captain Keos, this may be God's will."
With a little guidance from him, Keos quickly figured out the key point - the Wenk Empire had not had a Holy Son for nearly fifty years, Bai Su had just arrived here not long ago, and just three days ago, a new Holy Son was born in the Holy See... Perhaps there was some hidden connection between them.
Perhaps, in some mysterious and mysterious way, the person who should enchant Bai Su's gold is the new Holy Son.
So, under the guidance of the bishop, the two passed through a sacred and solemn corridor and came to a magnificent palace.
The bishop stopped Keos and signaled Bai Su to go in by himself.
Seeing Keos nod, Bai Su took a deep breath, made up his mind, and pushed open the towering door.
The hall was enormous, extremely empty, and extremely white. Tall stone pillars stood on either side, and the ceiling windows were adorned with gorgeous colored glass, engraved with numerous mysterious relief paintings. Sunlight filtered through the tall colored windows onto the seamless white marble floor, casting a faint, brilliant glow throughout the room.
A figure dressed in a simple white robe and a pearl crown on his head was gazing devoutly at the angel statue standing in the center of the palace.
Hearing Bai Su's footsteps, the man turned around -
His hair was like a waterfall, its color as bright and dazzling as gold, his eyes were top-grade green jadeite with pearly luster, his eyebrows were extremely soft, and even revealed a sense of holiness that was superior to others.
Judging from appearance alone, he is the most handsome person Bai Su has ever met in this world.
It is so beautiful that it transcends gender, yet it does not make people feel the slightest bit of blasphemy.
"Good day, Your Majesty." Bai Su didn't know how to salute, so he just bowed.
The Son of God didn't seem to care whether his manners were perfect or not. He smiled slightly and extended his hand towards Bai Su.
Bai Su understood and immediately took off the golden cake from his neck and placed it in the palm of the Holy Son.
"Your Majesty, I hope I can..." Bai Su was just about to talk about his thoughts on enchantment when he saw the Son of God sweep away his gentleness just now, frowning, looking back and forth at the golden cake, and looking at him with suspicion.
Did he discover my secret?
This world has gods, divine power and magic. The Son of God in front of him might really discover that he is not from this world!
Bai Su's heart tightened, and he immediately wanted to take back the gold cake and run away.
But the Holy Son lowered his voice and said quickly, "French bread?"
Bai Su was stunned: "...Pan Pan is still the best."
Holy Son: “…”
Bai Su: “…”
Damn, my dear ones! Bai Su burst into tears, not caring that the Holy Son in front of him looked weak and holy, and hugged him in his arms.
…
There was no one around in the palace, which was a perfect opportunity for the two of them to sneak around.
The Son of God invited Bai Su to sit with him on the flower bed outside the statue.
"Come on, sit down, just treat this place as your own home." The Son of God patted the seat next to him and motioned Bai Su to sit down.
Bai Su hesitated for a while, looked at the solemn angel statue, then looked at his fellow villager who didn't take it seriously and had already crossed his legs, decided to believe him, and sat down on the flower bed.
He was just about to reminisce about the past with his fellow villager when he was covered with his mouth by his fellow villager.
Bai Su:?
The Holy Son said mysteriously, "Let me guess. You came to the Vatican to make a wish, right?"
Bai Su: "That's not wrong..."
The Son of God was even more proud: "Let me guess again, are you trying to ask God to send you back to your original world?" His expression suddenly changed, and he cried, "It's useless, brother. You may not believe it, but there really are gods in this world. I can even sense them, but I can't go back. I can't even go back myself!"
"..." Bai Su paused, then explained, "Actually, this isn't the wish I wanted to make."
The Holy Son was puzzled and asked, "What wish do you want to make?"
Bai Su said a little embarrassedly: "I want to make a wish for the shade of rice and for hybrid rice to cover the whole world."
The Holy Son was completely stunned. After a long while, he muttered to himself:
"The black words become redder the more I read them... Are you a Party member?"
