Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The two of them want to be alone for a while! ...
The one who stopped Lu Chengshuang was Asesi, the Holy Son of the Dark Church.
A few days ago, Acesi also attended the coming-of-age ceremony to show respect. However, compared with the conspicuous Pope of the Dark Church, Acesi seemed very low-key.
As for the reason, it is mainly because the Dark Son’s position in the Dark Church is somewhat awkward.
The Dark God selects a Dark Son every hundred years. Asesi is the fiftieth Dark Son, but the life of each Dark Son ends at the age of fifty.
Without exception.
Asesi is now 48 years old, which is considered very young in the magical continent.
But according to the endings of previous Sons of God, the Dark Son of God Asesi only has two years to live.
Moreover, compared with Lu Chengshuang, Asesi is a cultivation genius. Not only does he practice both magic and martial arts, his magic level has reached the level of a top-level 10th-level holy magician, and his martial arts level has also reached the bottleneck of a high-level martial artist at level 9.
According to this level of cultivation, one can live for hundreds of years.
Thinking of this, the Son of Darkness would definitely feel unwilling.
At least it is impossible for Lu Chengshuang to appear so calm.
In the previous life, it was due to physical reasons and there was no way to change it.
If he could have lived for hundreds of years in this life, but could only live to fifty because he was chosen as the Son of God, he would definitely want to destroy the Dark God.
"I didn't expect to see you here." Asesi smiled, a subtle flash of surprise in his eyes. "Are you planning to go to Duke City?"
Lu Chengshuang had only met Asesi once before, and that was through Vanrod's introduction.
When I met Asesi that time, he had the same smile on his face. It looked like he was wearing a mask, and every expression and movement was just right.
You can't see the other person's thoughts and ideas at all.
The two were not very familiar with each other, so Lu Chengshuang didn't think about having more contact with them, nor was he curious about how Asesi recognized him.
The cartilage earrings on Lu Chengshuang's ears are not omnipotent. These earrings can only deceive those with lower cultivation than him. As for those with higher cultivation than him, the effect will only become weaker and weaker. For a level 10 holy magician like Asesi, they have no effect at all.
He answered Asesi's question readily: "Well, the first place blessed is Duke City."
The Holy See of Light had already announced the order of the blessing locations long ago, but because Lu Chengshuang did not travel with the people from the Holy See of Light, the time of the blessing could not be determined.
Because the blessed protagonist doesn't know when it will arrive.
Vanrod has been asked about this matter every day in the past few days, and he feels inexplicably irritated every time he sees the communication crystal on the table.
He complains about his own Son of God and God in his heart every day.
The Son of God who does not interfere with human affairs.
A god who does not do divine things.
All the pressure fell on the Pope alone.
I really want to quit.
Watching the communication crystal light up again.
Urge him, ask him, what's the use? If you have the ability, go ask the God of Light.
Lu Chengshuang, who was being worried about, sneezed and received Cecil's concerned look.
Far away at the headquarters of the Holy See of Light, Vanrod felt a surge of magic power in his body. He complained too harshly and was punished by God again.
Asesi, who was standing by, also had a hint of concern in his eyes, but he didn't think that Lu Chengshuang was sick. As the Son of God of the Holy See of Light, the word "sick" would never appear in his description.
"I'm going to Duke City too. If you don't mind, can we come together?" Asesi said. He didn't know why, but when he saw Lu Chengshuang, his heart was inexplicably moved. The emotions that he could hide well in the past were now a little out of control.
After learning the bitter lesson from joining Haggs’ team, Lu Chengshuang didn’t really want to go with the others.
Unfortunately, before he could say no, Asesi, who was very good at observing people's expressions, spoke again: "As a fellow Son of God, I felt very close and happy the first time I saw you. You also know the fate of the previous Sons of Darkness. Now I..."
The rest of the words were not said. Asesi also knew something about Lu Chengshuang. Compared with his growing environment, the growing environment of the Son of Light was definitely something that everyone envied.
Whether it is the God of Light, the Holy See of Light, or the Son of Light's own family, it can be said that he is loved by everyone.
People who grow up in such an environment will definitely not have too complicated minds.
Not surprisingly, after hearing what he said, Asesi saw Lu Chengshuang, who had originally wanted to refuse him to go with him, nodded slowly.
Having achieved his goal, Acesi's face revealed a hint of surprise: "As expected of the Son of Light, you are as gentle and kind as the God of Light."
Having the illusion of being morally kidnapped, Lu Chengshuang gave an awkward yet polite smile.
.
Not to mention Lu Chengshuang, even many people from Blue Star who were watching the live broadcast noticed something strange.
"These words, this tone, this Dark Saint couldn't possibly have bad intentions."
"I feel like this Dark Saint is a bitch."
"Is he planning some conspiracy?"
"Look at the knight's eyes, it looks like he wants to kill the Son of Darkness with his sword."
.
"Your Highness, this is your first time in Duke City. How about I take you around?" Asesi continued to climb up the pole. At this moment, he was sure that Lu Chengshuang would not refuse.
And just as Asesi thought, Lu Chengshuang did not refuse, and even agreed without any hesitation.
Using one's own misery to inspire some people's sympathy is useless to many people here, but it is definitely useful to the Son of Light.
Looking at Lu Chengshuang following his steps out of the Adventurer's Guild, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his unhappy mood caused by certain things improved a lot.
Cecil followed behind Lu Chengshuang, looking at Asesi who was walking in front and talking to Lu Chengshuang.
unlucky.
Sharp gazes have been surrounding Asesi. Things have been going wrong recently, and he really has the illusion of being cursed by the Dark God.
After a long while, he walked up to Lu Chengshuang and said, "Your Highness, are you tired? Do you want to go back and rest first?"
When Asesi heard what Cecil said, a guilty expression appeared on his face at the right moment. "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about staying with you for a while and forgot that Your Highness might be tired. It's all my fault."
Cecil: ...
I kind of want to send down a ray of light right now to make the Son of Darkness in front of me disappear immediately.
It seems that I have to go to Duke City early tomorrow so that I can have a sufficient reason to get rid of these people.
.
The next day, after a good night's rest in the guest room, Lu Chengshuang felt refreshed.
When he opened the door, he happened to see Asesi, who lived opposite him, also opened his door.
When Asesi saw Lu Chengshuang, a look of surprise crossed his face. "What a coincidence! I just had someone buy some Duke City's special breakfast. I was thinking about whether I should knock on the door and call you. We can eat together."
A warm invitation, a different attitude from yesterday.
It's okay to show weakness occasionally, but showing weakness all the time will only make people disgusted, so what Asesi said at this moment seemed very normal.
"No..." Lu Chengshuang was still thinking of refusing. They had just spent an afternoon together yesterday, and he was a slow-to-warm-up person, so they were still relatively unfamiliar with each other.
"It's okay, I asked someone to buy a lot, just right for your knight to eat together." Occasional enthusiasm can also make people unable to refuse.
As for Lu Chengshuang's character, just from their interactions yesterday, Asesi was able to easily grasp it.
Looking at Lu Chengshuang who followed him into his guest room, the corners of his mouth continued to curl up. She was so gullible and so cute.
Asesi has a high emotional intelligence. After all, his identity as the Son of Darkness is awkward, and he has to fight for many things on his own.
So during breakfast time, he was always taking care of Lu Chengshuang. Under Asesi's guidance, Lu Chengshuang ate very happily, and even the relationship between the two became closer.
Except for Cecil who was in a bad mood, no one had any taste for the food.
Assisi also knows how to quit while he is ahead.
But his eyes would occasionally glance at Cecil, and he always felt that this knight cared a little too much about the Son of Light.
It was normal for a guardian knight to pay double attention to Lu Cheng, but Asesi always felt that there was a subtle hint of possession hidden in this attention.
He suppressed this doubt in his heart, ate breakfast, and got straight to the point: "We have already settled our affairs in Da'a City. We can go to Duke City at any time."
"Is there anything else you need to do here?"
Lu Chengshuang: “No.” He shook his head.
With nothing else to do, the group headed directly to the teleportation hall next to the Adventurer's Guild.
Through the teleportation array, the few of them quickly arrived at Duke City. As the first blessed city, Duke City is now very lively.
And the moment Lu Chengshuang came out of the teleportation array, knights from the Holy See of Light came to greet him.
Asesi looked at Lu Chengshuang, who was surrounded by members of the Holy See of Light. "I have some other things to do, so I'll leave now. We'll see each other again someday."
Lu Chengshuang was busy pretending to be cool at the moment. When he heard what Asesi said, he nodded reservedly and had no time to say goodbye seriously.
How did the people from the Holy See of Light know that he was coming to Duke City today?
Could it be that someone has been sent to guard this teleportation array?
While Lu Chengshuang was asleep, he secretly used the communication crystal to inform Cecil of the Holy See of Light in Duke City, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.
After seeing Asesi leave on his own accord, he felt even happier.
It feels pretty good to try some tricks occasionally.
The branch of the Holy See of Light in Duke City is not far from the teleportation array hall.
After a while, several people arrived.
In order to welcome Lu Chengshuang, the branch of the Holy See of Light in Duke City had made preparations early. Just as they were thinking about reporting their subsequent work schedule, they saw the knight who had been accompanying His Majesty the Son of God pointing outside at them.
Is there something important you want to discuss with them?
"Your Highness, please rest here first." He said respectfully, and then followed Cecil out of the bedroom where Lu Chengshuang was resting.
Looking at the Guardian Knight of the Son of Light who was leaving the bedroom with them, with anticipation on his face, he didn't know what important thing it might be.
Cecil: "His Royal Highness the Holy Son wants to be alone with the Lord God of Light for a while. We will wait outside."
Clergy of the Church of Light: ...
It was all in vain!
No, I'm looking forward to it even more!
