In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.
Of course, for Shao Ci, he just took a nap and the time passed.
When he fell asleep on the bed, he woke up to find that he was lying on someone's lap, and the other's hand was still holding his hand gently.
"?!" Shao Ci suddenly sat up in shock, and only then did he see the person sitting in front of him clearly.
The person in front of him was undoubtedly Wendell, but he looked a lot older, already a young man in his twenties.
With the passage of time, Wendell's appearance became more and more beautiful, and his blue eyes looked over with a smile, and there was a bit of concern in his words, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Shao Ci: "...well, it seems to be..."
A few years have passed so suddenly, people are really unprepared!
Wendell stroked his back gently, and said softly: "It's okay, it just so happens that it's time to finish eating now."
Shao Ci was pulled to stand up by Wendell, and he was still a little dazed.
He digested the events of the past few years that emerged from his memory a little bit, and nothing seemed to happen, and he never even left the manor except when he went out with Wendell.
Shao Ci: "..." This is too nerdy, but it's a thing of the past for him anyway.
In the past few years, not only did he not do anything, he didn't learn magic or anything, and he didn't know how to practice swordsmanship. He basically ate every day... Even so, Shao Ci's body is still very thin and weak. It's kind of vulnerable when you go up.
Although he really doesn't want to admit it, Shao Ci feels that if he really spends the past few years slowly, he will definitely develop like this.
And Wendell never scolded Shao Ci because of this, it's better to say that Shao Ci didn't look like he was angry in his memory, and he was always so gentle to him, as if he felt that it didn't matter if he raised Shao Ci for the rest of his life.
Shao Ci: "..." Although I was very touched, but no matter what, I was too kind to him... Instead, I felt worried.
In short, no matter what happened before, tomorrow is the day when Wendell will be selected as the hero.
Although brave men used to sound like they didn't have a style or something, they are still very fashionable in this world, and they will be regarded as heroes by the people of the whole continent.
And the hero can only be played by nobles, not to mention appearance.
Wendell is still only one of the candidates for the brave. He wants to enter the temple with other candidates, and one of them will be chosen by God, which is quite an honor.
Although from Shao Ci's point of view, what kind of brave man is suffering and tired and may lose his life, he will not do it if he is given it to him.
Soon it was time to enter the temple, and Shao Ci, as Wendell's entourage, also followed in, and the others didn't pay much attention.
In the majestic temple built of pure white stone bricks, in the open space, crowds of excited people are crowded around, and in the center, there are seven or eight young and handsome youths .
They are all candidates for the brave this time, and the one with the lowest status is the son of a viscount, with impeccable appearance and conduct.
But as expected, it was Wendell who was expected the most. His brilliant blond hair seemed to shine under the sunlight, and his gentle and polite appearance was enough to capture the heart of any noble lady.
And soon, the high priest and the bishop of the temple came out from the inner hall. The old bishop was holding a thick book in his hand, looking at the people in front of him with a serious expression, and chanting a bunch of incomprehensible words. if.
Although it is stinky and long, it can be summed up with just a few words that God is cheating, those who are chosen by God are honored, and you can bring light to mankind.
After reading these words, the holy water was sprinkled on the ground, and the complicated magic circle engraved on the ground lit up.
It was embarrassing to say it, but Shao Ci felt a little sleepy when he heard it. He was completely different from the fanatical believers around him, and he even secretly yawned.
At this moment, a light suddenly lit up in the sky, and everyone held their breaths. It was the light bestowed by the gods. Which one will the gods choose this time—
When the eyes of the people kept turning around the candidates in front of them, the light suddenly fell into the crowd, causing a burst of exclamation. people in the light.
There was also a commotion among the candidates, and when Wendell turned his head to look over, there was a strange light in his eyes.
Standing in the light, Shao Ci was stupefied, even his body was stiff, and he still maintained the laziness he had just finished yawning.
"how come-"
Why does this light fall on him, hello? ! Isn't this the treatment of the protagonist
[Ah, probably because of the cheats given to the host before, the gods of this world noticed it, and thought that the host was the most suitable hero.]
"Is this okay?" Shao Ci's face turned ugly, "But I don't have the aura of the protagonist!"
Shao Ci wouldn't be excited just because he took the opportunity to play the leading role.
A cannon fodder actually took the protagonist's script, so what a miserable end it must be!
[It doesn't matter, I guess it would be a bit miserable, the process was a bit difficult, anyway, the hero in the original text should still be the one who kills the devil in the end.]
The other onlookers couldn't believe it at all. How could such a young man with a low sense of presence, a thin body, and a weak hand at first glance, with only a cute face, be attracted by God? The chosen hero
And many people also know Shao Ci's identity, knowing that he is just an orphan picked up by Wendell from the slums. There has never been a record of a person with such an identity becoming a brave man in history!
The people in the temple calmed down the fastest, and walked directly in front of Shao Ci. The bishop still looked at Shao Ci kindly, "My child, congratulations, you are the brave man of this term."
"No, I obviously..." Shao Ci panicked and looked at Wendell with eyes asking for help, and got a gentle smile from the other party.
Obviously Wendell has put in so much effort to become a brave man, and now that he has robbed him of this position, he can still look at him so tenderly... Shao Ci was a little moved for a moment.
The priest and others next to him were very dissatisfied, "Master Bishop, this guy is just a commoner." "Isn't it a disgrace to the temple to let such a person become a brave man..."
The bishop's eyes instantly turned cold, "This is God's choice. Could it be that you don't believe in God?"
As soon as he uttered these words, the others all shook their bodies and quickly changed their words.
This is a temple, and everyone in it is extremely devout to God. If they question God's decision, they will definitely be kicked out, and in serious cases, they will even be burned to death as heresy.
So, this extremely absurd matter was actually decided directly like this.
But in order to make it sound better, the people in the temple still forged Shao Ci's identity, at least from the outside world, he said that he was the son of a nobleman from a small family.
—
After that, Shao Ci had no choice but to go home, and was directly dragged into special training by the people of the temple. After all, his thin appearance seemed too unreliable.
Fortunately, he still knows magic, but magic arts are almost the same after being illuminated by some kind of god. Anyway, the principle is similar to magic.
Although it is reasonable to say that it can only be used if you are extremely devout to God, but Shao Ci didn't know why he used it casually, and it shocked the priests, and they looked at him with a bit of reverence in their eyes color.
Besides the healing skills that are difficult to learn, Shao Ci has the ability to heal himself, so there is no need to learn it.
For a moment, the speed of his progress surprised the people in the temple, but then they felt that this should be the case. This is a brave man chosen by the gods, and of course he is not an ordinary person.
Shao Ci's mood is not getting better, and he will have to face those monsters in a while... He doesn't have the halo of the protagonist! It won't be a terrible death all at once...
The day before his departure, Wendell, who hadn't shown up before, came to visit him.
When Shao Ci was taken away by the people of the temple, Wendell told him to study hard, and then he never came again... Shao Ci thought he was still angry.
Shao Ci rushed over in a hurry, and when he saw Wendell, whose expression was as gentle as before, he quickly ran in front of him.
For him now, Wendell is definitely like a savior!
"Do you miss me that much?" Wendell touched Shao Ci's head, with a hint of doting in his tone. Although he was only three or four years older than Shao Ci, he had never seen him look childish. On the one hand, he has always taken care of Shao Ci.
"I miss you very much..." Shao Ci looked at Wendell nervously, "Can you walk with me?"
That's right! The only way to survive is to take the protagonist on the road!
"It's been so many years, and you're still a child." Wendell sighed a little, and looked at Shao Ci in embarrassment, "But now, I have to deal with some family matters..."
Shao Ci was hit immediately, his request was indeed too much, but if he didn't take Wendell away, it would not just be a matter of eating lunch, the world might collapse!
Thinking of what he had done in his memories, Shao Ci held back his shame, lowered his head and grabbed the other party's sleeve, and said in an almost coquettish tone: "... I really don't want to be separated from you... I'm so scared, please … come with me…”
After saying this, his face turned red with shame, and he even stood on tiptoe and leaned over to kiss the other person's cheek.
Although very embarrassed! But Wendell just didn't know what to do with this trick! !
And this kind of thing has happened many times in the memory... After all, in this world, as long as there are people who are close to each other, it is normal to kiss on the cheek... Originally, Shao Ci thought that it was just something in the memory anyway, so he could pretend it didn't happen Yes, but now I have to.
Wendelton smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Shao Ci in his arms, "Of course, how could I let you go by yourself?"
— This is his personal treasure.
