Chapter 009 You Are Special
"So, you also traveled here three days ago." Garcia played with Bai Su's gold cake and said as if it was true.
Bai Su nodded.
During the conversation, he learned that the Son of God, Garcia, had just traveled to this strange world three days ago, just like him.
The only difference is that Bai Su is traveling in body, while Garcia is traveling in soul.
"Were you so beautiful in your original world?" Bai Su was a little curious.
Bai Su himself is a handsome young man with great energy. He has been praised by his fellow villagers for his good looks since he was a child, but Garcia is really too beautiful. His appearance perfectly embodies what it means to be blonde and blue-eyed and a natural beauty.
Garcia shook his head. "I used to look like this, but not as good-looking as I do now. I guess it's the added charm of being the Holy Son."
"It's like the difference between wearing makeup and not wearing makeup. The foundation is the same, but I have some issues with blackheads and acne. With makeup, I look the same as I do now - I'm a print model."
He continued, "Do you know what I'm most grateful for coming here?"
"What is it?"
“The whole world is speaking Chinese.”
Bai Su was amused and gave him a look that said, "You know what I mean." "When I first crossed over, I was looking for cameras everywhere because I realized I could understand the writing here. It's ridiculous. It's clearly set in the Western Middle Ages, but the common language is Chinese."
Garcia smiled. "The modeling industry in my country was very competitive, so I went to China to pursue my career. I spent several years there before I learned how to communicate in Chinese." He said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Did you know? The Vatican clergy chanted in English when they used their divine powers. Can you believe it?"
Bai Su: “…”
Bai Su: "Can this world be any more outrageous?"
"I have a rough idea of the reason," Garcia pointed to the angel statue behind him. "But I can't tell you right now. One day, you'll understand the true nature of this world for yourself."
He seemed to be more adapted to life in another world than Bai Su. Bai Su thought about it and felt that Garcia's current identity was really special. Perhaps some opportunity allowed him to glimpse something that he could not know yet.
"Okay. But at least, you can tell me, can an atheist like me also experience the magic of magic?" Bai Su did not forget the purpose of his coming here.
We are from the same hometown, and Garcia is a foreigner. Since he can adapt to the identity of the Son of God so well, I should also pay more attention to my career as a farmer.
Bai Su looked at the gold cake that Garcia had been holding in his hand for a while and said, "I was originally wondering why the common currency here was only copper and silver coins, and no gold." He seemed to remember something interesting and smiled gently, "Then, a centaur told me that the gold here is a very precious magical medium."
"Your Majesty, can you enchant the gold cake I brought from another world?" He teased Garcia, who was nonchalant after being exposed and had no airs of a Son of God at all.
"Of course." Garcia raised an eyebrow. "It's not realistic to realize the coolness under the wheat all at once. Hmm, let me think about it..."
He asked Bai Su: "Do you have rice seeds? The hybrid rice from grandpa."
"Yes, but I only have one plant, and about eight hundred seeds—I just started germinating them this morning."
"I think I know what to do," Garcia said. "Wait until tomorrow morning. Once you see any changes in the seeds, come back to me and get your gold cake back."
Garcia told Bai Su that he would bless and enchant his gold cake all day long to achieve the strongest positive effect.
Bai Su was so happy that he didn't know what to do, but Garcia just blinked. When other priests came in and urged him to prepare the sacrifice, he regained his beautiful and holy appearance and said to Bai Su with a smile:
"Bless you, farmer. I look forward to the day when I can enjoy the shade under the rice."
Garcia secretly told Bai Su that he actually loved eating rice too.
So Bai Su decided that from now on, Garcia would be his best friend in this world!
…
"Why?"
Bai Su concealed the fact that he and Garcia were from the same hometown, and told Keos everything that had just happened in the palace.
The Centaur didn't seem surprised that the Son wanted to keep Bai Su's gold cake enchantment, but rather puzzled by his decision to list the Son as his best friend.
"What?" Bai Su was a little confused by his sudden question.
"You just met the Holy Son today, less than a morning, so why is he your best friend here?"
Keos was really puzzled. The young man in front of him had known him longer. In fact, he was the person he had spent the longest time with since he came to Boeing Town. Why was he not his best friend?
Bai Su was stunned.
Garcia and he came from the same place, and they hit it off right away, which made him feel very fond of this fellow villager.
In addition, Garcia was more familiar with the rules of this world than him, and his strong and confident attitude gave Bai Su, who had been carefully covering his vest for fear of being discovered these days, some breathing time - he could communicate with Garcia without any scruples and gain a sense of security from him.
Bai Su liked the beautiful mixed-race boy very much.
But Keos's question instantly awakened Bai Su - when a normal person sees such a holy and unattainable Son of God, the first reaction is probably awe. No matter how kind and selfless the Son of God is, and how he helps others, they will only be grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts.
Instead of treating him as a friend like I do now.
"Because..." Bai Su stuttered to explain, "I'm sorry, I forgot the noble status of His Majesty the Holy Son... In the Western Continent where I lived before, people didn't care much about status."
"No need to apologize." Keos said with a frown.
He was not angry at Bai Su's overstepping of the boundaries. In fact, Keos didn't understand why he felt uncomfortable.
The centaur stomped a few steps impatiently, then stepped back and said to Bai Su very seriously, "But you should still pay attention. This is the capital, and many people respect the clergy of the Holy See."
Bai Su nodded.
Keos continued, "If you need a good friend—I mean, you can treat me as your good friend. We have been getting along very well these days, haven't we?"
Bai Su smiled and shook his head: "No, Keos, you are more than just a good friend to me. I met you when I first arrived here, and you have helped me a lot. You are so considerate and attentive. I think you are more important to me than just a good friend."
Bai Su felt from the bottom of his heart that this centaur, which had only existed in the myths he had read before, now had a different meaning to him.
A special meaning that he himself has not yet fully understood.
Keos' ears, hidden under his loose braids, turned completely red.
The tall and strong centaur subconsciously moved closer to Bai Su, slowed down his pace, and walked side by side with the handsome young man on the path outside the Vatican, which was dotted with unknown wild flowers.
Keos could even hear his own heart beating. He hoped that Bai Su would not hear his uncontrollable heartbeat for the time being.
The young man beside him always spoke such calmly and touching words, making Keos as excited as a fool who had just fallen in love.
The two walked in silence on the way back to the city. Bai Su had no idea how many wild associations his words had brought to Keos.
Because he was immersed in the joy of the rice being planted soon.
…
The Holy See is not far from Bai Su's farm. Walking along the end of the river, you can see the edge of the farmland in the distance.
Bai Su pointed to the white fence in the distance and said to Keos, "This piece of land, nearly 40 acres, will be used to grow hybrid rice." Worried that Keos had no idea of the area, he gestured with his hands, "I want to use the remaining 10 acres to grow some seasonal vegetables and fruits—what fruits do centaurs generally like to eat?"
Keos smiled. "Apples, pineapples, strawberries, in fact, we all like juicy fruits and vegetables."
"Okay then." Bai Su smiled, "After I plant these, I'll invite you to my farm."
Bai Su had long planned to build a modern farm. He planned to build greenhouses so that not only could people eat fresh fruits in any season, but he could also develop some amusement facilities for people's entertainment.
He looked at the centaur beside him with some envy: what a strong body, what straight four legs, tight buttocks, and bulging muscles.
I wonder if centaurs are willing to be ridden like ordinary horses...
But looking at Keos's always serious face, Bai Su felt that it would be better for him not to easily express this idea.
Just as Keos was about to ask Bai Su why he wanted to grow his favorite fruits, he noticed that the young man suddenly looked nervous.
"Keos, what's that doing?"
Due to racial reasons, Centaurs are somewhat nearsighted, and Keos's eyesight is actually not as good as Bai Su's. Therefore, he could only vaguely see that several patrolling Centaur guards were surrounding Bai Su's house.
A white figure suddenly broke out of the encirclement and ran into the forest. Several Centaur guards quickly chased after it.
The distance was too far, and Keos couldn't see clearly. He was about to ask Bai Su if he saw it clearly, but when he turned around, he saw Bai Su's pale face.
"Bai Su, what did you see?"
"I saw..." Bai Su bit her lip, unable to utter those words.
Keos's expression was stern: "Is it an orc?"
The young man did not answer, but Keos knew that he had guessed correctly.
He was about to follow, but Bai Su, who looked panicked, grabbed his arm tightly.
"Keos, don't... take me with you."
"Bai Su, what are you afraid of? Or are you hiding something?"
——The two of them spoke at the same time.
