Chapter 98
When Al was in college, he studied Potions class very seriously. Although he was more focused on magic and swordsmanship and did not conduct further research on potions, he at least understood the basic properties and effects of many magical plants.
He took three kinds of tea today - the kind of medicinal tea that can reduce internal heat. Drinking it daily can help calm the mind and has no side effects. He hopes it will be effective and make Winston and Samuel more calm.
Al poured him another glass, "This is good stuff, drink more."
Hmm? What good stuff? Could it have the same effect as the Leaf of Life that his brother gave him?
His brother was always so considerate and generous to him, so Samuel, who had such a strong possessiveness for his own things, was willing to share the temple treasure house with his brother...
Winster felt warm inside and smiled as he brought the cup to his lips, "What is this, brother?"
"Oh, about this~" The young man glanced at Winster's lower body calmly, "I saw that you and Samuel have been angry and uncomfortable recently, so I wanted to help you get rid of the trouble forever."
"puff--"
Winster was choked and coughed repeatedly, with cold sweat on his back. Al looked at his shocked expression and smiled happily, "I'm kidding, you believe this?"
Every time he suffers a loss at the hands of Samuel, he turns around and bullies Winster. Tsk, he is so mean.
The bad brother brought the whole pot of medicinal tea to his younger brother and said, "It helps to reduce internal heat. Put it in your space ring and drink more when you are fine."
"Oh..." Winster knew that his brother was on guard against Samuel and wanted to help him calm down. He confirmed with concern, "Will it really not cause any harm to my body?"
He was talking about the body, specifically a certain part. Al said with a smile, "You still don't believe me? Besides, even if there is a problem, I can heal you with healing magic."
Of course, Winster believed that his brother would not harm him, but his brother had just made that kind of joke, and any man would become more sensitive because of it.
Then Al tactfully talked to his brother about Samuel's lack of common sense of human etiquette and how some of his actions could easily lead to misunderstandings. He asked his brother to teach him what not to do.
Winster: “…” He lacks common sense. He has all his own memories and knows clearly what can be done and what should not be done!
But now Winster no longer complains to sow discord between his brother and Samuel. He realizes more and more clearly that he is a part of Samuel. When all his memories are restored, he will become as complete as Samuel, so... isn't digging a hole for Samuel the same as digging a hole for himself?
Winster did not expose the fact that Samuel knowingly committed the crime, but just nodded and took over the small task given to him by his brother. He would make Samuel restrain himself, but he was also sure that the guy would still do his own thing.
I’m so envious…
Winster also wanted to be as unrestrained as Him, but once he did something out of line, his smart brother would surely notice his thoughts and distance himself from him... Forget about the good thing of living in the same room with him like they do now.
After talking about something trivial, the two opened the door and saw the elf servant guarding the door. It was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time.
Today, Dina's bright face did not have a friendly smile, but instead hid a subtle vigilance, "Your Highness, our Majesty wants to see you."
The young man didn't seem to notice the change in the elf's attitude, and responded to her with a smile as always, "Okay, let's go over there now."
They flew over a hundred meters and passed by Yarlin's residence. Al stopped for a while and called out his knights to go see the Elf King together.
Dinah hesitated for a moment. Little Mori was talking about the Son of Light and the Black-Eyed Knight knowing his talent, so she didn't stop Winster when she saw him following her. But the other knight...
Forget it, Dina quickly thought it through. The Son of God must have informed the knight about such a big thing at night. Now she just hoped that he had not contacted the Holy See yet, but Dina understood that this possibility was not high.
Thinking of this, Dina was really worried, so she asked directly, "Your Highness, has the Holy See sent anyone over?"
The young man looked at her in confusion, "Huh? Why are you sending people here? I haven't received any reports, so no humans should be coming again, Dinah."
The human had a handsome face, his silver hair fluttering in the wind, and his pure white wings made him look holy and beautiful, as if he would never lie.
Dina was dazed for a moment, then frowned. Was he playing dumb with her?
But... Little Mori said that the Son of God was very kind and gentle to him. They checked the gifts and found that they were all very precious things, which were indeed very useful for those with dark talents.
No, no, no? The human race is full of tricks, maybe this is a stopgap measure to stabilize them so that they can leave safely.
Al had already vaguely sensed that there were a few elves hiding nearby, making it seem like they were being guarded, but he didn't feel any pressure at all. With a powerful weapon by his side, he had nothing to be afraid of.
Not to mention, even though Samuel often made him laugh and cry, his sense of security was real.
——
The silver-haired young man looked around at the dozen or so great elves who looked very prestigious, and said, "Good day, everyone."
"Your Majesty, I was just about to come visit you today, and you just happened to want to see me too. What a coincidence."
The elves looked at the Son of Light, who seemed relaxed and calm, with confusion, and even began to doubt whether the human Mori met was him... Could you please pay more attention to the dark gifted person who is "evil by nature" and "destined to bring disaster"!
Heinrich was a little disappointed now that his new friend was a threat to the elves. He smiled bitterly, "El wanted to visit me? Is there something you want to discuss?"
"Well, I met a runaway elf last night, Mori, he..."
The elves: As expected, he is going to say that the elves are hiding their talents!
Good God, it was a miracle that little Morrie was not hurt last night! Could it be that this saint still had a little mercy on the cub?
"He is only five years old. I think you shouldn't put too much pressure on him. It will affect the child's character and the relationship between you in the long run. As an elf, Mori still has a long time to learn. There is no need to rush. He is looking forward to celebrating your birthday. I promised him that I would come to plead for him, so Your Majesty...for my sake, can you please not confine him?"
Elves: Huh?
They were confused and they pondered - oh ~ this guy must be pretending to be harmless on purpose, and he will bring people back to search for dark elves after leaving the forest safely!
Heinrich was silent for a moment. "Well, you're right. We really shouldn't put too much pressure on the cub. We will let him out."
Anyway, the secret has been exposed, so there is no need to hide the cub.
The Elf King sighed, "Thank you for not hurting Mori."
The young man tilted his head, asking in confusion, "Why would I hurt an innocent cub?"
Elder Morris leaned on his staff in frustration, "When you, the Church, kill those with dark talents, do you still care whether they are innocent or young?"
Yaerlin, who knew nothing before, was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, moved closer to the Son of God, and began to be alert to his surroundings.
The silver-haired young man turned his head and looked directly at the dark elder. He said calmly, "I think the darkness that the Church should eliminate is the evil people who threaten innocent lives, such as the human traffickers who kidnapped Phoebe, the lustful people who raped and killed the girl, the thugs who enjoy destroying lives, and the greedy people who use any means to make money, rather than the dark talents who have not made any mistakes."
The elves present were collectively confused... Was it because they hadn't had contact with the Holy See of Light for some years and times had changed?
Morris asked suspiciously, "Do all the priests of the Holy See think this way now?"
"Oh..." Al said lightly, "Unfortunately, most of the priests have taken the wrong path. They have misunderstood the instructions of our God. Our God values the brightness of the soul and not having dirty thoughts, rather than suppressing the dark system whose talents are opposite to light."
Elves: Why do they think that the one who has gone astray in the Church is this Son of Light! Has he gone against all his colleagues?!
Heinrich smiled. No wonder Al, as a member of the Holy See, gave him a good feeling. Apart from his identity, he was not similar to other priests in any way.
"From what Al said, the Church is still very dangerous to Mori. I hope Al didn't pass on Mori's message."
"Of course, I will protect the innocent cubs." The young man suddenly smiled at Elder Morris, "There are other innocent dark-type talents as well."
Morris narrowed his eyes, "You mean, if the Church finds a child with dark talent in the future, you will protect him from being burned at the stake?"
"Of course, if I can make it in time."
Another elf elder shook his head. "How can you go against the wishes of the Church alone? You can't do anything after all."
Obviously the young man didn't think so. "I am the Son of God personally chosen by the Lord God of Light. He trusts me and allows me to guide believers to become fair and kind people. My will represents the will of our God. The priests should naturally listen to my opinions seriously."
The elf hesitated to speak: Is the order of things reversed? But it seems that there is nothing wrong!
However, this Holy Son is still too naive. Without absolute strength, how could this ancient and corrupt behemoth make any changes?
As they were thinking this, they saw the gentle and kind young man narrow his eyes and said, "I have the power to dismiss any priest except His Holiness the Pope. I will execute anyone who breaks the law and harms innocent people. I am young and not strong enough, but Her Majesty the Queen is my aunt. I can borrow people from the royal family at any time."
Al said a line from a capitalist: "They don't want to be a bishop, such a high position, but there are many people who want to be one."
He doesn't care whether the new person in office is a true believer or not; he only cares whether his subordinates are worry-free enough.
Anyway, being brought to the Vatican and being appointed the Son of God were against his own will, so what's wrong with him "doing whatever he wants" to make himself happier?
The worst that could happen is that the Holy See is dissatisfied with him and expel him. He doesn't care about the position of the Son of God anyway.
The elf who just thought the young man was innocent: "..."
Oh, no strength, but power and connections.
Hiss—it seems that the Holy See has accidentally brought disaster upon itself, this is really... great!
The alien races all believe in different gods. They don’t want to bother with other human forces, and certainly don’t want to bother with the Holy See of Light that spreads false legends of gods all day long.
However, the God of Light is the only god who can awaken, send down oracles, and provide protection to believers. He is the clear backer of the Holy See.
The alien races were worried that if they ignored the Vatican, they would be retaliated against and be punished by God, so they kept in touch with the Vatican with great reluctance.
Especially the elves. The ancient notes handed down within their tribe record that their beloved goddess of nature and god of darkness are siblings with a very good relationship.
(Samuel:?)
The elf believed in the goddess's judgment, so he was very dissatisfied with the Vatican's behavior of framing the goddess's brother.
Moreover, there will be cubs with dark talents born in their tribe, so the Holy See is a huge threat!
Now that there are high-ranking officials in the Vatican who are willing to rectify the atmosphere, this is great news for the elves. Ah~ I really can't wait to see the day when His Royal Highness the Son of God becomes the Pope.
Heinrich was very sensitive to the emotions of living beings, and he knew that Al was very sincere when he said these words, and they were not just a stopgap measure to leave safely.
That's great, he doesn't have to hurt his new friends! It's just...
"Al, I believe you won't do anything to hurt little Mori, but your knights...can we trust them?"
Heinrich looked at Arlin, whose expression remained cold no matter what the Son of God said.
In fact, he knew nothing about the two knights, but inexplicably, he felt that the bad-tempered young man with black eyes could be trusted.
Arlin replied calmly, "Don't worry, everyone. I am loyal to Your Highness, not the Church, and I don't follow church rules."
Even if this person is not the Son of Light, as long as he is willing to stay, Yalin will follow him.
And the nonsense His Highness said just now would only make Yalin more convinced of him.
Al nodded, "They are all my people."
The elf suddenly realized, no wonder there were so few people from the Holy See coming this time, it turned out that the Son of God did not want to bring people who did not share the same ideas with him, so he only brought his confidants!
Maurice's attitude towards the young man became much kinder, "The gift that His Highness gave to Mori was very useful to him. I owe you a favor on his behalf."
Al smiled nonchalantly and said, "Please don't be polite. Those are gifts from my friends with dark talents. They are just to help me understand this kind of talent. Giving them to Mori is the best use of them. It would be a waste if they were kept in my hands."
He knew the secrets of the elves, and if he let the other party know his position and a little secret, everyone would be more trusting of each other.
As expected, the elves liked His Royal Highness the Son of God more because he was open-minded and had friends with dark talents. It was so rare to meet such a pleasing human!
The two sides had a very pleasant conversation, and the expected tense scene did not happen at all. The reason it went so smoothly was thanks to the positive buffs brought by the young man's huge amount of faith, as well as the elves' natural talent for emotional perception.
After the meeting, little Mori was quickly released. "Woohoo! Brother Al is the best! He didn't lie to me~ I can really come out to the party!"
"Grandpa Elder, I'm going to look for Brother Al~"
Morris waved his hand in relief, "Go away, you noisy little brat."
——
Before the banquet arrived, Al had already established good relations with all the alien envoys.
In fact, he had already had contact with the dwarves, goblins, and orcs, but that was just business cooperation. They had no idea that he was the boss behind the chain of restaurants and hotels that had made huge profits in recent years.
The aliens also didn't expect that this Son of God was so easy to get along with. When the young man was chatting, he didn't mention anything disappointing about the Holy See or the God of Light.
I can talk to the dwarves about forging and come up with some very original ideas.
You can talk business with goblins and discuss ways to make money.
I was able to talk to the orcs, a group of meat lovers, about how to cook more delicious food, and also shared some delicious jerky.
He is the benefactor of the orc envoys! They simply cannot taste the food in the vegetarian tribe these past two days!
Most importantly, this Holy Son also respected the gods they believed in and was willing to listen to their ancient legends.
These aliens were a little bit incredulous. This human didn't look like the Son of Light at all. Oh, and his two knights didn't look like the strict Paladins of the Vatican.
How did the Church raise a Son of God who is so different from other priests? This is a miracle!
Al narrowed his eyes in pleasure. He just wanted to make more friends so that he would feel more secure.
——
On the day of the party, Phoebe, who was grounded as a punishment, was released. Although she was still angry with her brother Al who exposed her secret, she, like Morrie, kept following the young man around.
The style of the elves is relaxed and free, so the banquet is not high-end and grand. Everyone just prepares a very beautiful and natural venue, enough food, and various programs. All the elves and guests come to eat, drink, sing and dance.
This was the most relaxed and happy party Al had ever attended in the world. He was infected by the endless enthusiasm and his mouth was always filled with a smile.
There were some drunk orcs fighting in a ring match over there, and Yarlin went to join in. Al wanted to ask Winster next to him if he wanted to go, as he was always keen on things that could gain fighting experience.
The young man turned his head and met Winster's eyes.
The image of the silver-haired young man can be clearly seen in the deep black eyes.
The usually stern man now had his lips slightly curved, and his eyes and eyebrows were filled with a hint of smile, because he was happy because of the happiness of those around him.
His smile widened when he saw his brother wanted to talk to him.
Al's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of a sentence he had heard in his previous life -
There are three things in life that cannot be hidden: cough, poverty, and...
like.
