Chapter 83: I feel bad. Why do I have to work overtime on Saturday? * …
*
The wolf stared at me intently, and for a moment I subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze. But that would have seemed too guilty, and Sean was more perceptive than I thought.
"Brother, why don't you look me in the eyes?"
He came closer and I could almost feel his warm breath.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
“Knock knock.”
There were polite knocks on the door, exactly three times, no more, no less, showing his grace.
"I don't know who is coming, I'll go check it out!"
This was a God-given opportunity. I jumped up like a spring and quickly got out of bed to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, I saw the silver-haired elf standing in front of the door, smiling at me.
"I guess I didn't bother you?"
"Of course, please come in."
Then I remembered what I had promised the other party and quickly invited him in.
Odysseus dispersed the magic shield around him and was not wet by the rain at all.
He raised his eyes to see what was going on inside, and his expression suddenly became subtle.
"I hope I'm not disturbing you."
“You guys are…”
The other person turned his head and revealed a picture of the other person.
"...?"
I turned around blankly and followed the elf's gaze. The wolf on the bed had turned into a human. The quilt was pulled up to his waist, and he looked at us lazily with one hand on his cheek. Intentionally or unintentionally, his muscular chest was exposed.
"......"
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I didn't know how to complain about the other party's peacock-like behavior. I could only turn my head to appease the elf.
“Don’t mind that guy.
The elf looked at me, then at him, and said hesitantly, "What are you doing...?"
Sean raised an eyebrow slightly, and each word was deliberately emphasized: "I am talking to my brother. I wonder what the Elf Saint wants?"
The elf ignored Sean and gave me a questioning look.
"Don't worry about him. This is the custom of the church knights. The general meaning is that I trust you enough to entrust you with my life in a deep sleep... something like that."
I explained reluctantly. Odysseus looked thoughtful, and just when I thought the matter was over, he suddenly asked me, "Since he is here, can I join you?"
Can I join you?
Can I join you guys?
The simple words of "leading the team" were like a voice lingering in my ears, and my face almost turned green. It took me more than ten seconds to realize that what he meant was "Sean is safe here, and he also wants to deepen his relationship with me."
Before I could say anything, the wolf refused without hesitation: "Of course not!"
"I didn't ask you."
Odysseus' voice was still calm, but a little more indifferent. He looked up and down at Sean, his eyes lingering on his tail for a moment.
His emerald eyes, as green as leaf stone, curved, without saying a word, but Sean's expression was already cold as ice.
Elves have always looked down on orcs, not to mention the disparity in status between them. In a flash, the gazes between the two almost made the air temperature rise.
I forced myself between them and asked Odysseus to come in.
The second question he asked after meeting us was equally difficult to answer: "What are you talking about?"
The corners of my mouth turned down slightly, and for the first time I felt that this beautiful face was a bit annoying.
Is this guy asking too many questions?
Sean was silent this time, and waited with his ears pricked up.
Odysseus looked at me seriously, as if expecting something.
Looking at the two people in a stalemate, I rubbed my forehead with a headache and asked tentatively: "How about...you two come together?"
The werewolves and elves stared at me. Under their gaze, I couldn't help swallowing.
Why, this is not possible?
*
How did things develop to the current situation?
I deeply realized my mistake. I shouldn't have agreed to let them come. Why should I sacrifice myself when I want to improve the relationship?
Odysseus lay on my right, and Sean lay on my left. The two of them sandwiched me, like a double world of ice and fire. I dared not even breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing them.
From the corner of my eye, I could see the elf staring at me without blinking. There was no emotion in its emerald green eyes. It was just looking at me quietly, but it made me feel as if I couldn't bear to look at it.
I forced myself to look away, but the gaze from the other side was just as fiery, stinging my back and making it numb.
I was like a king lying in a coffin, with my hands folded on my abdomen, without any deviation. The church's etiquette officer always gave me good comments.
I made up my mind.
Next time, I will never let two people into my room at the same time.
*
This sleep was like death.
When I woke up, the sun was shining through the cracks in the window.
The two lying next to me were still sleeping. I couldn't help but wonder if they didn't sleep last night and were just staring at each other?
The shallow breath was exhaled within a short distance. The wolf's tail was on my legs, and the elf's long hair fell messily on my shoulders. I was like the middle layer of bread, being smothered by them.
I looked at the ceiling above my head helplessly and sighed for a long time.
If there is a next time, I will definitely learn from my lesson.
Neither of them can come in!
*
After waiting anxiously, I finally saw the two people wake up.
Not only did Sean not stand up, but he went even further and put his chin on my shoulder. His fine hair rubbed against my cheek, and without turning around, the elf's gaze was like a thorn in my back.
I had no choice but to urge Sean: "Hurry up and go to the training ground. You don't want to be scolded by the Knight Commander, do you?"
Speaking of the Knight Commander, Sean's ears immediately drooped. He thought about it for a long time unwillingly, and finally went out in disgrace.
I waited until he left the room before I looked at the elf. Even though she had just woken up, the silver-haired elf was still incredibly beautiful. Her beautiful green eyes looked at me, reminiscent of a dark lake in a forest in late summer with a majestic breeze blowing over it.
Odysseus leaned forward slightly. For a moment, I could only see the shimmering silver-white light enveloping me and capturing my sight. The light penetrated the gaps in my hair and fell on my face.
His voice was as cold as his appearance.
“You have a good relationship with him.”
I smiled awkwardly: "Well... it's definitely not bad. After all, he's my adopted child. It's getting late, I have to get ready to go out..."
The elf frowned, and I tried to act casual to avoid the suspicion of lying.
"Let's talk about it in the evening. We still have to go for a walk."
Hearing this, Odysseus finally nodded and got up from me.
*
After coming out of the room, I immediately walked around the neighborhood.
For safety reasons, I deliberately avoided the areas where Odysseus and Thane would move around. But then there was nowhere left for me to go.
Sean will be active in the area where the Knights are located, and Odysseus, as the Holy Son of the Elves, can go anywhere else.
After much thought, I decided to pick up Neil first.
There is a territory in the church specially reserved for the dragon clan. It is a small enclosed area with an extremely luxurious decoration style, which is very much in line with the dragon's preferences.
The golden roofs sparkle in the sunlight, and the snow-white walls are like jade and snow, made from a strange mineral. From a distance, all the buildings in this area are carved with images of dragons. The various sculptures are magnificent and are all excellent works of art.
Most of the dragons live here, including Neil who comes to visit them. No one will cause trouble here, and you never know where a dragon will pop up.
As soon as I entered the area, I saw something flashing on the roof in the distance. A dragon swooped down and landed in front of me with its wings flapping.
"What a rare visitor, kid, are you here to see Neil?"
An elegant and beautiful female voice came out of the dragon's mouth. I recognized her as the dragon from the previous banquet. I smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I just came back from outside and came to pick him up."
"You two have such a good relationship, no wonder... Hehe, I won't say any more, go find him."
She swallowed the rest of her words and urged me with a smile. This was naturally due to the influence of the previous incident. I had no choice but to agree and walked in the direction she pointed.
Going around the front building is where the dragons usually train. More accurately, it should be said that they play.
Dragons are unreasonable creatures that only need to sleep to continuously improve their strength. Training is no different from playing for them. As they grow older, they will naturally become stronger.
But for Neil, this kind of "playing" is tantamount to asking for trouble.
As an undead dragon, having to mingle among a large group of glorious dragons is torture, isn't it?
From a distance, I saw a figure flying in the sky. The glorious dragon in charge of training saw me and mercifully shouted, "Okay, Neil, come down."
The dragon soaring in the sky suddenly fell down, much faster than when flying. It felt like a huge relief.
The trainer saw this and said helplessly, "I'll let you go today. Your human is here, go with him."
Neil flew towards me as if he had been pardoned. He did not turn into a human form, but his dragon scales reflected a sacred and beautiful glow in the sunlight.
I took a look at him and made sure he was okay before I said hello to the Shining Dragon and took Neil out of the dangerous area.
Only after he was out of sight of the dragons did Neil sigh and say, "You're finally back."
I looked at him jokingly: "I think you are doing quite well here."
Long rolled his eyes: "Except for the fact that I'm hovering between life and death every day, I think it's pretty good."
As he said this, he snorted, "You haven't come to see me for so long, it seems like you're doing well out there, huh?"
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Just say what you want to say."
"It seems that you are not yet at the point where you can't help at all."
I:"......"
Hard, the fist is hard.
I thought this guy's liar skills had improved after coming to the Glorious Church, but it turned out to be my illusion.
The smile on Long's face faded slightly and he sighed deeply.
"I did encounter something recently, which gave me a headache."
"Can I help you?"
Neil hesitated, then shook his head, a hint of gloom flashing through his eyes: "Forget it, I'll take a look at the situation myself. If it really doesn't work, I'll need your help. If you feel anything strange about me during this period, please wake me up."
I felt that what he encountered was not a small problem, so I agreed to his words with a subtle feeling. Seeing me nod, Long's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. As if nothing had happened, he told me about the interesting things he encountered in the Holy City, and his attitude was very relaxed and natural.
"A lot of things happened while you were away. I heard that the Pope was planning to establish diplomatic relations with the Natural Forest."
