"Clyde is my younger brother, and he is also the descendant of a defected dark elf and light elf. After the light elf eloped with the dark elf, he assisted him in assassinating his former tribesmen without regrets. Eventually, we discovered their whereabouts. We executed them, but we also found a 16-year-old child."
"It is difficult for the Light Elf Executors to deal with this child. He has the most flawless appearance of a Light Elf, but he is a hybrid of a Light Elf and a Dark Elf who have committed many evil deeds. When he grows up, he may be a Light Elf or a Dark Elf. But no matter what, his parents both have sinful blood. The Executors tried to send him to the Dark Elf tribe, but no Dark Elf was willing to accept him."
"So I adopted him and named him Clyde. He has been my brother since then, and I have the responsibility to supervise him." Beavis put down a chess piece, "At the same time, I was also one of the executors who watched the execution of his biological parents."
"I concealed his background. The other three executioners, the main one died in an accident, and the others promised to keep it secret - this is to prevent the child from growing up and being 'corrupted' by additional factors. He is a very likable child. From childhood to adulthood, he is sweet-mouthed, well-behaved, and cute. Everyone likes him. You can see that, including the warrior Blaze just now."
"Half a year later, the light elves and the dark elves went to war again. He had acted like a spoiled child to me several times, asking to accompany me to the battlefield and protect me. I did not allow him, so he ran over secretly - perhaps in his eyes, I have always been an unkind brother. This accident made him start to split towards the dark elves, and he got to know some of the dark elves. I don't know what happened between them, but the war was urgent, so I could only have someone keep a close eye on him. Until later..."
"He assisted the dark elves, leaked the secret, and escaped with the dark elves."
"So how did he get caught?" Lucian asked.
He suddenly realized why Beavis wanted to talk to him about this. Perhaps it was because he felt that Lucian was also an expelled half-succubus, and perhaps they could have more in common.
Beavis gave him an answer that he didn't expect.
"A few days ago, I sent him a message saying that I wanted to see him. He came, and that was it." Beavis said, "I locked him up. According to the decision of the Elders, he should be executed."
Beavis continued to play chess, his fingers seemed to be smooth and smooth without any trembling: "Sistine (the Elf King) is in a difficult situation, because he knows that Clyde was raised by me. But the war hurt their vitality, and all the people are angry, sad, and afraid, and want to vent. They need a strong royal court and a true priest to soothe their hearts..."
"… So yesterday I told Sistine that according to the decree, Clyde was sentenced to death. I also carried out the execution myself according to the decree."
The chess game ended at this moment. Lucian also remembered the original plot.
In the original work, Riverd, under the leadership of Clyde, a hateful light-dark hybrid elf, broke the barrier of the elven tree and took away its divine blood. The reward that Clyde needed was his "hypocritical and vicious" "brother". He knew that this priest was the murderer of his father, and he adopted him just to monitor him and use him to obtain information about the dark elves.
After Beavis disappeared and the blood of the gods was stolen, the sacred tree withered by nearly half, and the light elves fell into great chaos, and the dark elves took the opportunity to invade. Vader himself gained great benefits from this chaos. He helped the dark elves burn down the territory of the light elves, obtained a lot of treasures, and used forbidden magic to control the leader of the dark elves, and finally achieved the goal of ruling the entire elves.
The new leader of the dark elves is Clyde. As for Beavis, his current life or death is unknown. The book does not describe his death, and Lucian guessed that he was tortured to death by Clyde.
But the way Beavis sat next to him was completely different from the hypocritical and arrogant priest in the original book.
Lucian flicked the chess pieces, and found himself caught off guard by the main plot again—even though the entire storyline had already deviated greatly. He pondered for a moment, and said to Beavis, "The execution date is five days later, right?"
It turned out that the execution day five days later was the full moon that Wade had been waiting for. Seeing that a big drama was about to be staged simultaneously, Lucian felt that the world was really wonderful.
Beavis nodded.
He picked up the tea again, his eyelashes drooping, just like when he told the story, just because there was nothing else to tell during the chess game. Suddenly, he said to Lucian again: "Lucian, I am very grateful that you listened to me. It makes me feel..."
Lucian then said, "I feel like I did the right thing, right?"
Beavis was silent.
"Yes," he said finally, "I am upholding my justice, am I not?"
Lucian said nothing. He suddenly remembered something.
The power of the elves is flowers and healing. Legend has it that when the elf goddess walks and is happy, beautiful flowers bloom wherever her feet step. Beavis, as a priest who can communicate with the elves' sacred tree, also has similar abilities. When he is in a good mood, the nearby flowers, plants and trees flourish.
Lucian had a deep impression of this because when he was the Son of God and played chess with Beavis in the past, he could always see the lush flowers behind Beavis.
But now the flowers on the terrace outside Beavis's house were dying and lifeless.
The two men played another round of chess. Lucian thought that perhaps Beavis told him all this because he was a high and mighty priest who represented justice among the elves and he really couldn't tell anyone about all this.
He must be compassionate, gentle, and upright, and even when he tells these past events, he must do so in a simple narrative tone.
Beavis added: "When I saw you in the royal city, I thought I was seeing things."
"You can see that I'm not doing well right now, right?" Lucian joked.
But he didn't expect that Beavis actually shook his head.
"That's what I thought at first," he said gently, "until I saw that Wade did it for you... Then, I felt relieved."
He paused, as if he had promised someone that he would not come out. Finally, he said, "Lucian, Wade, you are very good, really very good. It is also good that you can reconcile in this way."
Lucian: ... I woke up and he pinched my neck. Is this good
He always wondered if Beavis had made a mistake. You know, when Simon saw him dressed as Queen Vader, Beavis's reaction was not the same as it is now. So Lucian said to Beavis, "He hates me very much now."
—The kind of hatred that makes me feel that I am not worthy of saving him.
At this moment, his expression was full of indifference. Beavis hesitated to speak, but did not explain.
"… maybe not," he whispered.
After talking for a while, Lucian went back. On the way, Eden said in a gloomy tone, "You talked with the elf priest for a long time."
In the original work, Edward was loyal to Vader like a mad dog, and now he might be worried that Lucian would do anything to endanger Vader. Lucian turned a deaf ear to him, but before entering the bedroom, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Edward.
He smiled with the corners of his lips slightly raised, his watery red lips, wine-red eyes, and fair cheeks, like a blooming rose. He said softly: "Eh, if you can be more friendly to me, I will talk to you longer than with him."
E: …
Lucian clearly saw the sudden gloomy expression of Edward, and laughed in his heart. He went back to his room, lay down, and found that Wade had not come back all night.
It was not until the morning that Wade came back. When Lucian got up from the bed, Wade was gone. This realization made Lucian even more unhappy.
"I feel like Wade is deliberately ignoring me." Lucian's system said coldly, "Or he's preparing to cause trouble."
System: "... But what can he do?"
The system wanted to discuss with Lucian what would happen next with Wade, but Lucian just sighed and said, "I saved him, and he just treated me like this."
He pinched his fingertips, thinking of Wade, and when he mentioned his younger brother Clyde to Beavis, his eyes were gentle, distant, yet somewhat lonely.
"Beavis's brother thinks Beavis is terrible." He said softly.
In the afternoon, the entire royal court was suddenly under martial law, and Lucian quickly learned the news.
"A prisoner who was about to be executed escaped from the prison under the King's Court." Ai said, "But this has nothing to do with us, you can rest assured. He has now escaped from the King's Court, and the Elf Priest and others are chasing him."
Lucian: ... I don’t have to worry.
As soon as Lucian heard it, he knew that the escaped prisoner must be Beavis's brother, but he didn't know whether he was released by Wade.
Out of humanitarian concern for Beavis, Lucian decided to ask Vader about this matter after Vader came back. He waited until the evening, but Vader still didn't come back.
"Weid deliberately doesn't want to see me." Lucian said gloomily, "He is avoiding me, or deliberately ignoring me. I will go find him."
He made this request to the doorman, but the doorman just said: "Your Majesty, your range of action is limited..."
"I want to go see my husband, is that not okay?" Lucian asked.
Lucian himself hadn't even thought of the word "husband", but he said it so smoothly. But Eden was still unwilling to let Lucian go or tell him where Vader was.
"He really is worthy of being Wade's right-hand man!" Lucian was in the room, his anger growing deeper and deeper, "He really is worthy of being the male supporting role who lived out the last chapter of the original novel."
He bit his lip and frowned. At first, he just wanted to see Wade because of something, but now he was angry and had to see Wade.
He sat on the bed and thought of a solution. It was getting dark, and it was time for the guard who had been loyally guarding him at the door to change shifts... At this moment, a strange cry came from Lucian's mind.
'Lucian.'
'Lucian.'
'I want you.'
'come over.'
That voice sounded like Vader's voice, and the path it passed through was...
The spiritual connection between them.
Lucian had not touched this mental connection for a long time. After Wade took him back, that place seemed to be locked to him, and he could no longer feel any emotions coming from Wade's mind.
But at this moment, he heard Wade's call.
The calling sound was very strange, more like the singing of a siren than a human voice. At that moment, Lucian felt bewitched and vaguely sensed where Vader was.
Wade once blocked all the emotional connections he had opened, but at this moment Lucian felt very strongly that there was a crack in that blockade—Wade needed him.
Lucian glanced at the window from the side—there were no soldiers guarding there. He quietly went out through the window, avoiding Eden's gaze, and followed the elf passage, carefully walking in the direction that called him. He stepped on the ground where flowers and plants grew in the elves, but he felt like he was dreaming.
Finally, he saw that he had arrived at a place.
"The forbidden area of the elves?" Lucian asked softly.
Lucian knew what the forbidden land of the elves was used for. There was a holy spring in the forbidden land, but wasn't that used for healing and... detoxification
The bewitching call stopped at this moment. Lucian hesitated for a moment and continued to walk inside.
The holy spring was hidden among the beautiful flowers, plants and trees. Lucian saw the figure of Wade from afar. Wade had his back to him, leaning against a stone, and seemed to be breathing in pain.
At that moment, Lucian suddenly had an absurd idea—Wasn’t Wade staying here to recuperate these days
But the injury...
Lucian's lips trembled suddenly.
How can Vader be injured? How poisonous can Vader be
Why did he take that poison that was supposed to cause great harm, but now he seems to have no after-effects
Vader looked extremely painful. He seemed to be trying his best to suppress something, and a slight heat was steaming from his body. Lucian walked towards the lake step by step and tried to contact him through the mental connection.
"Vade?"
"Vade?"
"Are you... calling me?"
When Lucian was about to be completely exposed to Vader's sight, Lucian finally heard Vader's voice again through the mental connection.
“Get lost!!”
Lucian paused.
"Stay away from me, go away!"
"I don't want to..."
Lucian gritted his teeth. At that moment he felt a complete rage. He said: "You..."
Wade, who was leaning against the stone, suddenly raised his face. He stretched out his hand, and a large number of dark shadows emerged from his palm.
The dark shadows tied Lucian's ankles and dragged him over.
