Chapter 42
Elphis looked at his brother, whose demeanor and temperament had changed abruptly, and then asked uncertainly, "What did you just say?"
The black-eyed young man was slowly tearing off the lower half of the jerky with his teeth. The two canine fangs that were barely visible, which Elphis usually thought were quite obedient, now seemed cold and wild to him.
Samuel lazily lifted his eyelids and met the eyes of the kid who was looking at him.
"liquor."
"..." Elphis was silent for a moment. He was not angry that his brother wanted to drink, but he felt that Winster's idea came too sudden and his attitude was not obedient at all... Was he angry with him?
"I don't have any wine in my space ring. What kind of drink would you like? I'll have someone deliver it to you tomorrow."
Samuel frowned in dissatisfaction that such a small request was not met.
Winster had no memory of alcohol, and he couldn't name it for a moment, so he just said, "The strongest."
The silver-haired young man nodded in agreement and prepared to contact Moon later to ask him to prepare the wine for tomorrow's dinner.
As for the rule that minors can't drink alcohol or can't drink alcohol at school, there is no such rule in this world, and it doesn't matter if there is. This is the first time his younger brother got angry with him, and Elphis was quite happy and willing to coax Winster, but he still had to ask why his younger brother got angry -
"Is there something on your mind, Winster? Or did your brother make you angry in some way?"
Samuel complained that the chair he sat on was too small and the height of the table restricted his legs. He looked around the narrow dormitory critically, stood up, took two or three steps to the most spacious place, and sat down unceremoniously on the clean and soft bed of the dormitory owner.
He stacked two feather pillows together, then leaned against the head of the bed, crossed his fingers and placed them on his abdomen, with one of his long legs bent and resting against the edge of the bed, while the other leg fell casually on the ground.
The conditions of the new seat were a little better, and the frown on the God's face finally relaxed.
Elphis had never seen Winster act like this before, and was confused and curious for a moment, "Winster, are you sleepy?"
The child looks listless, but doesn't seem sleepy... He looks like a young man who is tired of the world.
Samuel lowered his eyes, not even bothering to look at the person, and whispered, "It's a bit boring."
Elphis asked with amusement: "So what fun thing do you want to do now?"
Samuel really thought about it seriously, and then found something that aroused his interest a little, "Go to the Vatican and kill all the priests." Then see if Ashburn will make any move.
“……?” It was quite sudden.
The content was arrogant and the tone was calm, but somehow it made people feel that he was not joking.
The sense of disobedience on Winster's body became stronger and stronger. Elphis looked at him carefully, smiled and gently refused: "No, think of something else."
His deep black eyes met the curious gaze of the human observing Him, and Samuel curled his lips, "Do you think you can stop me?"
That sharp and wild handsome face was very suitable for this kind of cold and domineering look. The dependent and well-behaved look he had just seen not long ago seemed like an illusion of Elphis.
"Winster."
The white fingertips touched the wrist guard on the forearm, Elphis blinked, and called the other person's name, not knowing whether it was a warning or confirmation.
Not getting any response, 'Winster' looked at him with a half-smile.
The staff appeared in his hand. The silver-haired young man put away his smile and looked coldly at the other person in the room: "Who are you?"
Winster's transformation was instantaneous, so it couldn't be that something else turned into his appearance. In that case... something must have taken over Winster's body.
Enveloped in the purification spell, Samuel impatiently stretched out his hand to wave away the dazzling light elements. A bunch of elements quickly dispersed like poor little ones seeing a bully, running for their lives.
The black-eyed young man still leaned against the bedside calmly, "You asked me a question, but you didn't give me a chance to answer?"
Elphis rarely looked serious: "Where's my brother?"
The other party answered him slowly, "He is still conscious."
Elphis breathed a sigh of relief and discussed with others: "You have a grudge against the Church, wouldn't it be better for you to possess the body of a priest? Rockefeller, the Sword God, is in charge here. If you sneak in and murder students at will, you will be stuck if I ask the teachers for help."
Samuel suddenly found that teasing this brat was somewhat interesting. He curled his lips and said, "You can call for help, but...if I use dark magic in front of others, will it matter if Winster is taken away by the Church?"
Elphis' pupils shrank as he looked at the dark elements flowing at the other party's fingertips. It was the first time he encountered a dark mage and he didn't know what methods the other party had.
Moreover, he was able to enter Rockefeller without anyone noticing and control Winston's body without him noticing. Coupled with his arrogant attitude, Elphis felt that he would not be his opponent even if he tried his best. Moreover, there was one more thing he wanted to confirm...
"Wins' body has a dark talent?"
Samuel raised an eyebrow, "Of course."
Elphis was not too surprised. Perhaps he had been brainwashed by the rumors about the girl with black hair and black eyes.
In this way, Winster would not be able to ask others for help in the trouble he encountered. The young man frowned and said, "You only choose bodies with dark talents?"
The other party avoided answering, and looked at him with a hint of interest, "As a candidate for the Son of God, you discovered the dark race, so why don't you bring Winster back to the Church?"
He originally planned to tamper with the kid's memory when he betrayed him. Without this ability, Samuel would not have appeared in public so easily.
"It has nothing to do with you." Elphis did not intend to explain his thoughts to an outsider. "Once you get out of Winster, I can take you to the Holy See to pick a few people. As long as you don't kill innocent people, you can do whatever you want in there."
Anyway, some people are not good people. It's better for them to die than for something to happen to Winster.
Hmm? The Vatican could provide him with power, status, honor, resources... With his talent and prestige, he could get more benefits in the future. How could he be so cruel to a place that could provide him with great value and a colleague he had known for several years?
Samuel was slightly pleased—
He and Winster are the same being. This brat favors Winster, which is equivalent to favoring Him.
Although Samuel thought the boy was very weak, He saw his intentions and regarded him as His believer.
The black-eyed young man narrowed his eyes in a good mood and refused: "This is my body, where do you want me to go?"
To Elphis, these words sounded like a rogue. He was annoyed by this guy's stubbornness. He took a breath and prepared to have a calm chat with him to find out about his background. But then, Winster seemed to have remembered something and stared at him with a grim tone, "What god of wealth are you still believing in?"
Samuel suddenly remembered what happened a few years ago. No wonder he was so indifferent to the Vatican. He almost forgot that this kid was a pagan. It seemed that he was not qualified to be his believer.
"......?" Elphis was stunned for a moment, and then nodded his head unconsciously.
Samuel changed his sitting posture, sitting up straight with one arm resting on his bent long leg. The two of them were of similar body shape, but he gave people a sense of superiority and oppression.
The young man spoke in a calm, gorgeous and powerful tone, "Don't believe it. There is no God of Wealth in this world. Why don't you give your faith to me, and I will forgive you for tricking Winster into worshipping God."
After a pause, Samuel added, "Since you have been sincere to me, I will grant you the opportunity to serve God closely." As long as he recognizes his mistakes, he can accept this believer.
"???"
Ignoring the second half of the sentence that was full of second-year atmosphere, Elphis asked in confusion: "How do you know that I worship the God of Wealth? Did you merge Winster's memory?"
He also integrated some of Teacher Clemens' memories back then, so he thought of this point at the first time.
"How many of his memories have you peeked into?" The silver-haired young man came to the bedside and looked down at Him. His delicate face showed a hint of anger that his brother was offended, and he looked more handsome and lively than usual.
Samuel's face darkened for a moment. He didn't like being looked down upon. If someone else had questioned him like this, he would have kicked them to death. However, the person this brat cared about was him...
Thinking of this, the God became a little more tolerant towards Elphis.
With a flick of his fingertips, the dark elements around the silver-haired young man gathered into a thin stream. Before he could cast a spell to counterattack, the cold stream wrapped around his waist and pulled him onto the bed in front of him. The moment Elphis fell, he reflexively wanted to grab something, so Samuel, who was getting up, was grabbed by the arm and sat down on the bed together.
The restraints around his waist had been loosened by him. Elphis leaned on the bed with his elbows and glared at Winster. "What do you want to do?" Kill him? Or force him to reveal information?
Samuel sighed softly, supported himself on the bed with one hand, and moved a little closer to Elphis. He ran his other hand through the other's long silver hair, met the boy's vigilant eyes, and spoke clearly and patiently to the future little believer.
"You are not allowed to believe in other gods, you are not allowed to look down on me, and you are not allowed to glare at me."
The hair was cool and soft, and felt good. The God stroked the little believer's head a few times like he was stroking a pet.
Elphis: “…” Are you sick?
He waved the hand above his head and changed the subject before Samuel could get angry: "I'm asking how much of Winster's memory did you peek into?"
Samuel stood up and leaned against the wall with his arms folded lazily. "What do you mean by peeking? This is my body. Of course I can share his memories."
Elphis frowned at him and was about to ask about his origins when a guess suddenly popped up in his mind...
Thinking of a possibility, the silver-haired young man looked at Samuel with a complicated expression, "When...when did you appear in this body?"
Samuel enjoyed seeing the boy's frightened expression. He gave a playful smile and told the truth: "I was there a long time ago, before you first saw him."
"Will you hurt him?"
"Of course not. However, I will stay in this body forever and you can't drive me away." Samuel looked at the other person, expecting how this human would react.
I don’t know how much the kid cares about Winster. If he uses Winster as a threat, will he agree to all the conditions?
To Samuel's surprise, the kid did not show any anger. He looked at him with a blank look in his eyes and muttered to himself, "So he has a split personality..."
Winster had a very difficult childhood, and it is not incomprehensible that he developed a second personality to cope with situations he did not want to face due to severe childhood trauma.
As for the secondary personality... he faces all kinds of dangerous situations as soon as he becomes conscious. Over time, it is normal for him to become so cold and strong... It just seems like he has a little bit of a chuunibyou?
However, at this age, it is the period when the second-year syndrome strikes, and Elphis thinks it is quite cute.
He vaguely remembered that in the movies and TV shows he had watched in his previous life, personalities would not share memories. However, Elphis didn't know much about this mental illness and believed that the situations of each patient were different. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his brother's two personalities.
"I'm sorry I didn't notice you all these years." All the care was given to Winster, while the child in front of him had received nothing but suffering.
“…”
Samuel was startled, feeling uncomfortable with the boy's strange and gentle gaze. He stared at him, trying to find out what was wrong.
Elphis continued to ask, "What's your name?"
Samuel sneered, "Even my believers are not worthy of knowing my name, let alone you are not my believer."
Not minding the other party's attitude at all, the young man coaxed him good-temperedly: "Since you are also in this body, you are my brother just like Winster. If you don't have a name, I will call you Third Brother first."
He is the eldest brother, Winster is the second brother, and the secondary personality is the third brother.
"...Samuel, but you are not allowed to call me by my first name."
