Chapter 142 Western Fantasy 07 The Ascending Channel
Although there aren't as many highlight moments as the high-attack characters in the trailer, it seems nice to be able to protect the people around you.
Jon walked to Lu Huai's side unconsciously and couldn't help but stand by the bed and watch for a long time.
Her hand reached out to him uncontrollably.
After a long gaze, he defined the person in front of him: this was the object that prompted him to make his choice, and his only current bond in this world.
If he were told now that he had the opportunity to return to his original world, he thought he would not have any attachment to anything here.
It's just that the person in front of him, who almost fills all the memories he has engraved in the game, may make him hesitate.
Lu Huai was now lying quietly, perhaps because he had changed from lying face down on the table to a more comfortable position. His originally slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he looked even more peaceful and calm.
How can a man be so white and look so foul?
Apart from the slightly rising and falling chest that proved his existence, he seemed like Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale, sleeping in a sea of roses, completely different from those rough old men in reality.
There is even a feeling of helplessness that makes people reluctant to wake up and destroy this beautiful scenery, but at the same time worried that the person in front of them will fall into such a deep sleep forever.
Jon's original target was the delicate and smooth profile.
As his consciousness returned to a trance, the fingertips slid down and stopped just enough to touch a strand of hair on the boy's slender neck.
This action could almost be interpreted by someone with ulterior motives as having bad intentions, and taking advantage of someone's misfortune...
What's the difference between him and a bad werewolf with ulterior motives?
Jon withdrew his hand awkwardly, not noticing that Lu Huai's eyelids beside him twitched slightly, as if he had sensed some disturbance in the outside world and was sleeping less soundly.
"Oh, what am I...doing?" Jon couldn't help but look at his palms over and over again, his attention fixed on the parts that had touched the other person, and he muttered in frustration.
"Are you a pervert?"
Qiao En just felt that his feelings for Lu Huai seemed to be a little less pure.
But he couldn't tell whether it was the fledgling effect of coming here to establish connections with people, or whether he really liked Lu Huai.
This difference does not mean that I can rashly express my feelings for him in front of these innocent indigenous people so quickly.
After all, Jon didn't know whether falling in love with the same sex was an accepted thing in this complicated world.
What if I'm going to be hanged?
Rather than giving up suppressing the throbbing in his heart, the elf was more afraid of seeing the disgust towards him expressed in those black eyes that were so clean that they seemed to be free of any impurities.
You may even feel that accepting him into your life is a disgusting and regrettable thing.
The thought of such terrible consequences made the blonde elf cover his head in unbearable pain.
"Hmm..." Lu Huai made a muffled sound.
When Jon was struggling with his conscience, the person in front of him seemed to wake up.
Lu Huai tried to feel around, but he touched the elf's warm palm and opened his eyes immediately.
"Joe?" He raised his eyes, which were still filled with natural tears. "Are you done?"
Although the master did not show it deliberately, the tears in his eyes were really pitiful, which made Jon, who was already feeling guilty, hold his breath.
I began to worry that my ugly thoughts would be discovered by the other party, but I could only pretend that nothing had happened.
He took out the access card he had received, which was engraved with an intricate magic circle pattern, and said casually, "Well, I've completed the formalities. Look, I'm going to give you one of the two."
"That's great! But why am I in bed? I remember I was sitting at the round table just now."
Lu Huai took it and carefully placed it in his inside pocket, but his gaze did not linger there. Instead, he looked at his friend beside him inquiringly.
Just now he noticed that Jon had been standing beside him for a long time, but he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, so he chose to continue closing his eyes.
However, the other party seemed to have done nothing.
Are you daydreaming?
Qiao En thought Lu Huai was wondering why he had changed his position. He shrugged and raised his hand consciously.
"Lu, here's what happened. I just saw you fall asleep on the table. I was worried that you might be uncomfortable in that position, so I took the initiative to move you over here."
"I see. Thank you so much for troubling you! Qiao is really very gentle."
Lu Huai looked at the blonde elf with a look that said "It's over, it's not going to be messed up, is it?" and thought it was cute, with the corners of his mouth rising.
"I do feel much more comfortable this way, but I'm worried my clothes are still outside. Will they dirty your bed?"
But he didn't know about Jon's chaotic thoughts and thought very simply, otherwise he would not have such a natural attitude.
He just thought that the two people had put their things on two different beds first.
Later, Lu Huai was brought to his own bed by Qiao En, and he felt it would be better to switch.
"Why don't we sleep on the other side? I've made a mess here, why don't I go get it now? It'll be quick anyway."
"Oh, no need! Why are you so reserved?"
Qiao En grabbed Lu Huai who was about to get up to pack up. Seeing the confusion and puzzlement about his behavior in the other's clear eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable and replied sourly.
After all, he kept thinking, "I'm so happy to be around you, how could I possibly dislike you?" Such annoying words made me want to let others pay for his little thoughts.
Anyway, it's just his wishful thinking.
After settling in, Jon took Lu Huai out for a walk on the street.
Here, there is no need to worry, as security is supervised by dedicated personnel and there are few fights or disturbances.
So Lu Huai didn't have to weld the cloak to his body all day long.
Although he was not used to the constant stares from others at first, Lu Huai gradually got used to it.
However, facts have proved that even in a high-dimensional world, there is one law that cannot be escaped.
As long as the protagonist appears in this world, the originally peaceful life will be broken, and twists and turns and coincidences will "kiss" you like they are free.
As the second male lead, Lu Huai was also caught up in the turmoil of the game between various parties under the illumination of this halo.
——Jon pursues the main plot of the game, marching towards becoming a legend, and he is also swept closer and closer to the center of the storm.
This is precisely what Seno wanted to achieve, so he had no choice but to go all the way, like a puppet, dancing nervously in front of the bright center of power.
However, as they got closer to the royal city of Ator, the power of faith in the God of Light increased, and the concentration of light elements in the air increased several times more than before.
For wizards or knights who practice light magic, it is a holy place on earth; but just like the shadow cast behind them, this "gift" forces dark creatures to stop.
Otherwise, you'll experience the feeling of a fish being forced onto land, with every cell in your body screaming for pain and it almost making it hard to breathe.
Not only did Lu Huai feel that the restriction that had been injected into his body was showing signs of loosening, but the dormant desire that longed to be touched was also struggling desperately, as if it was about to erupt violently as soon as the opportunity arose.
My lower abdomen is burning.
Especially when there was a lot of noise, a pair of hands with skin so thin that the veins were clearly visible trembled and grabbed the corner of the clothes. The feeling was like a catalyst of adrenaline, giving Lu Huai a panic of being on the chopping board.
He stared at Jon's figure in front of him in fear, as if he were a beacon for his night voyage.
However, before he knew it, his teeth had bitten his lips, leaving an indentation on them. Only when the other person turned around did he adjust himself a little.
The dark god Seno could no longer roam freely on this land like before, and could not move freely back and forth in Lu Huai's dream.
They have to find a specific opportunity to show up here with Lu Huai.
But as they saw each other more and more frequently, Lu Huai sometimes couldn't tell whether he was in reality or a dream.
We can only rely on whether Jon is by our side to judge, but he is always on missions, running around in various scenes. Only after the Golden Crow sets can we see him steadily.
So the cunning dark god also discovered this characteristic, and would pretend to be Jon from time to time to tease the little succubus, and successfully received Lu Huai's speechless response.
But sometimes I would be heartbroken because the little succubus was too obviously hypocritical towards herself and that stinky elf.
But there is no free lunch in the world. Seno is a casual being, he is moody and unpredictable.
Pinning his hopes on such a weak creature was indeed a spur-of-the-moment decision, and it certainly seemed foolish. However, since he had used all his divine power on this little creature, he would have to pay the price.
Every time after making a fuss, Senuo would never forget to put eye drops on Lu Huai.
Let him cherish every opportunity to be associated with light.
He began to look forward to a small shrimp pulling down the arrogant Lance and seeing the other party's astonished look.
"Little Lu Huai, you must strive for excellence!"
"You will arrive at the Royal City soon. There will be a test there, and your good friend will definitely go too..."
Lu Huai stroked the hot mark, his eyes not knowing where to look, and muttered.
"I know."
The sunlight filtered through the narrow alleys, casting a warm hue. They walked along the alleys and followed the flow of people to a well-connected intersection - a street garden with a statue.
Lu Huai was curious about why there were so many people that day, and Jon, who received the task prompt, pretended to be surprised and asked passers-by if there was any grand event happening today.
The response was: Today is the town's annual magic talent test day.
All children and young people gather in the town center square to take a simple test of affinity with magical elements, which is their only way to enter the wider world.
Jon naturally climbed up the pole and happily pulled Lu Huai to join in.
But before the test, one had to fill in one's hometown. Jon held the pen in his mouth and thought for a while, then looked at Lu Huai at the side and wrote down the place where he met him.
The testing area was a particularly large open space in the square, with a huge magic crystal suspended in the center, and people were testing one after another.
The staff sat at a magic-controlled stone table, writing down words with a feather pen without having to hold it in their hands.
They wore silver masks and simple white clothes. If you look closely, you can see that they are embroidered with golden background patterns, which almost gives off a sacred feeling.
However, with such people with opposing views in front of him and Jon conducting tests in front of him, although he knew that those people would not pay attention to him, Lu Huai still couldn't help feeling a little scared and his face turned pale.
"Campbell, Legass City, elemental affinity 25, not accepted."
"Mino, Comilla City, Elemental Affinity 55, proposed for admission."
·····
"Jon, Tallow Town."
When the priest read out this unusual place name, many chattering young candidates looked over in surprise, including the group of nobles who were dressed in luxurious clothes and almost had clouds covering their bodies.
It’s just that the look in their eyes is different.
There was pure curiosity, as well as undisguised malice - for example, one of the boys had fiery red hair and an evil and flamboyant appearance.
He looked to be no more than twenty years old. The almost wrinkle-free robe he wore and the sword inlaid with yellow gemstones tucked into his waist all demonstrated his noble status.
At this moment, he sneered disdainfully, "How come this country bumpkin is so well-informed? He actually rushed over from a remote place overnight, and he's not worried about his rubbish qualifications tainting the spiritual weapon given by my god. He really overestimates his own abilities."
"Elemental affinity: 90, proposed for admission."
Everyone was shocked.
Even so, Xu Rui, who was suppressed by others, was still unyielding due to his pride, and argued that "even if I have talent, I may not be able to go far."
He only fell silent when he saw Jon and Lu Huai next to him coming to stand in line.
How could someone from that kind of place be an elf?
And looking at his hair color, eyes, and handsome appearance, he doesn't look like those side branches or half-bloods at all. He looks more like an elf bathed in the care of the mother tree.
Even the guy next to him who looks like a human, how come...
She also looks like she has a strange sense of not being from a simple background. Although she is still just a teenager, she is so dazzling that she can almost be called one of the most beautiful women. It is hard to imagine how stunning she will be when she grows up.
It seems to have a magical attraction that makes it difficult for people to look away once they see it.
However, the two visual cores ignored their gazes and just communicated among themselves.
"Lu, why don't you try it too?" Qiao En patted Lu Huai's shoulder and asked softly before leaving.
"Yeah." Lu Huai lowered his head and answered in an almost inaudible voice.
He knew that such a test would only increase his risk of exposure - the descendants of succubi, if they had elemental affinity, almost always associated with darkness.
If such "talents" have good numbers, they will not be admitted as students and given the opportunity to further their studies, but will be detained and observed by the Vatican. If their true identities are discovered, they will face even more terrible consequences.
Lu Huai knew it well and didn't want to go, but the sudden voice from Seno in his head kept urging him on: "You should go, otherwise you will be separated from your good elf friend."
"After that, I'll be all alone. How lonely will that be?"
Lu Huai also tried to defend himself: "But...wouldn't it be possible that my identity would be exposed?"
But he also longed for the opportunity to learn magic, even though he didn't know his own aptitude.
——After today, it may be difficult for him to have the opportunity to truly protect himself and truly improve his self-protection ability.
Seno's next words completely dispelled his concerns: "Hey, what are you worried about? Do you think the disguise I set for you is not good enough?"
In the dark spiritual world, Lu Huai pushed away Seno's hands, which seemed to be itching to pinch his face as he was talking.
The other person looked hurt, like a puppy with drooping ears, which reminded him of Jon.
Seno explained helplessly: "You're overthinking it. Lance doesn't have many lackeys here. How can this broken machine see through my restrictions?"
