Waking up from the dream, Shao Ci sat up suddenly.
What is that white shadow you saw just now? Could it be that there are some secrets about Wendell that he doesn't know...
It was the first time that Shao Ci had this feeling of not being able to figure out the truth. After all, before this, he knew exactly what the original work was about. It's different from before.
"Are you awake?" Wendell pushed open the door, still holding the hot porridge in his hand, walked over naturally and put it on the head of the bed, turned his head and smiled lightly: "I thought that according to the previous habits, you would sleep until It doesn’t get up until three poles in the sun.”
"That, that was all a long time ago!" Shao Ci said subconsciously, suddenly remembered something, looked at Wendell with some surprise, and hurriedly got off the bed, "Wendell, you, are you ready?"
But I don't know if it was because he had consumed too much energy in the spiritual world. Shao Ci lost his footing and almost fell to the ground. Wendell held him back so that no tragedy happened.
Shao grabbed Wendell's sleeve again and looked at him carefully. The Wendell in front of him was exactly the same as before no matter how he looked, except for his pale face, even the smile on his face was similar.
It seems to have really recovered.
Only then did Shao Ci heave a sigh of relief, while Wendell directly picked up Shao Ci and put him on the bed, "You should have a good rest now, you must have used too much energy before."
"En." Shao Ci nodded. He was too excited to see Wendell doing well just now. Finally, his previous efforts were not in vain.
As for Ewings, Shao Ci estimated that he would have gone back long ago. Ewings didn't like to appear in front of people other than him, not to mention Ewings seemed to hate Wendell.
"I'm ready." Wendell picked up the porridge next to him, scooped it up with a spoon and put it into Shao Ci's mouth. This action is extremely familiar, after all, he has done it countless times in the past few years of getting along, " It's all thanks to you for waking me up."
Shao Ci's face changed, and he suddenly remembered what Wendell had said to him in the spiritual world before.
"I remember very clearly what you said to me before." Wendell said softly, "I will always wait."
Shao Ci: "... um, um."
Anyway, it's best to do it now!
Soon Shao Ci finished a bowl of porridge, and instantly felt his body warmed up, and his hungry stomach was filled. He finally remembered a very important thing, "Speaking of it, it happened at that time what?"
"Huh?" Wendell was still packing the plates, and turned his head when he heard Shao Ci's question.
Shao Ci said: "It's...about the last pope." Shao Ci's memory of this magical development is still fresh in Shao Ci's memory, "You definitely didn't kill people, did you?"
"That thing." The smile on Wendell's face disappeared, his expression became serious, and he whispered: "I did it."
"...?!" Shao Ci was in a daze.
Although Wendell is no longer the kind of godfather-type character in his heart, it doesn't look like he would do this kind of thing!
"I don't know what's wrong." Wendell frowned, as if remembering something extremely painful, his face became paler, "At that time... I suddenly couldn't control my body, just like an outsider, watching helplessly Everything happens... ”
Shao Ci: "What..." Is it because I have been holding back for too long and have a dual personality... But this is a bit like being controlled by someone.
"After the death of the Pope, I lost consciousness, and when I regained consciousness, I had already left the Holy City." Wendell quickly calmed down, "I know that the people of the Holy City will never let me go, just go left."
"So that's the case..." Shao Ci said, "Then will that happen to you now?"
"It hasn't been there since then." Wendell frowned, "I feel that the strangeness started after entering the holy capital. After entering it, it seemed that there was a kind of power attached to me. I think it was that power that triggered the previous things."
"Hmm..." Shao Ci's face changed, "Could it be that someone in the Holy City wants to attack you, who could it be?"
The first person that came to Shao Ci's mind was the cold silver-haired boy he saw that night, who was also the present Pope.
Although, in any case, I feel that the other party is an extremely indifferent person, and he doesn't look like a villain, but the things he did have a strange feeling, which made Shao Ci unconsciously think of him. .
"I won't go back there anyway." Wendell looked indifferent, "When the army of the devil king comes over, the holy capital will not care about us."
"Hey." Shao Ci couldn't get used to such a casual Wendell all of a sudden, "but the power of the holy capital is so strong, and it has been contending with the devil for so many years, the devil may not be able to attack for the time being."
"Not necessarily." Wendell said that he was more interested in this, "Actually, many high-level monsters have already mixed into the crowd, and some have even climbed to high positions. There are many monsters hidden as humans, but they are not made public to ordinary people because they are afraid of causing riots."
"Is that so?" Hearing what Wendell said, Shao Ci also realized how arrogant Ewings was in the city before, "But I..."
But his purpose is to let Wendell kill the Demon King, hey!
The next moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and an attendant rushed in, looking at Shao Ci in a panic, "Oops, the young master wants me to come over and inform you that the people from the temple have already found out where he is. You leave quickly."
"What?!" Shao Ci was startled, "The people from the temple came here so quickly?"
"This is normal." Wendell was very calm. "That is a temple with power all over the continent. It would be strange if you can't find it here."
"Then, what should we do then?!" Shao Ci couldn't help but panic, "Is there still time to run now?"
"Of course it's too late." Wendell put down the things in his hand, "Let's go."
...
…
When the knights of the temple rushed to the mansion in the forest, there was no one else there except the panicked attendants.
But on the avenue outside the nearby town, a carriage easily passed the inspection.
Sitting in the carriage, Shao Ci looked at the people walking in a hurry outside, and he finally let go of his worries.
Although he escaped the inspection in such a humiliating way, as long as he can escape successfully, it is nothing at all!
That's right... Shao Ci bit the bullet and changed into women's clothing in order to be able to run successfully.
Fortunately, he has a delicate and gentle appearance. Although he is a bit too tall for a woman, he can't be seen sitting in the carriage, and there is no sense of disobedience in wearing women's clothes.
"Great." Wendell, who was pretending to be a driver outside, smiled and said, "We managed to escape."
Shao Ci stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of the skirt, always feeling uneasy all over his body, "... yeah."
Well, although, although it is very wrong to doubt Wendell, why does he think that Wendell made this opinion selfishly!
Fortunately, Ewings didn't take the opportunity to run out, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing! Damn it!
But... Speaking of which, why didn't Ewings show up
Just as Shao Ci was thinking this way, the carriage stopped suddenly, and at the same time, a shocking aura surrounded the carriage.
"What's wrong?" He asked nervously.
"Things are troublesome." Wendell's voice was a bit cold, "It seems... we can't leave."
"What?" Shao Ci hurriedly opened the curtain, and saw a huge magic circle lit up on the ground, surrounding the carriage.
He knew that if he walked out of the distance of the magic circle, he would definitely die instantly. After all, this is the most powerful divine technique in the holy capital... and there is only one person in the world who can use such a divine technique.
"It's His Excellency the Pope..." Shao Ci's face became serious.
The next moment, a phantom appeared in front of the two of them. That phantom was a cool young man with long silver hair. He looked at the two of them lightly, and when he saw Shao Ci, he lingered on the latter for a long time.
Shao Ci realized something, and hurriedly tore off the wig, but the clothes he was wearing were really helpless, his face flushed all of a sudden, "No, no... this is, that... In short, no, don't look at it!"
Damn it, the Pope actually saw this damn women's attire, how could he hang around in the Holy Capital in the future!
The silver-haired boy seemed to chuckle slightly, and then said lightly: "Now the people from the temple are encircling here, and the space has been blocked by my magic, and you can no longer leave."
"Well..." Shao Ci's face changed, and he grabbed Wendell's hand beside him, "If you catch us, what will you do then?"
"It's okay." The silver-haired boy looked at Shao Ci and said, "I won't kill this person. The Holy City has now investigated the truth about the death of the previous pope."
Shao Ci was taken aback, "What truth?"
"The last Pope didn't kill him himself." The silver-haired boy always looked at Shao Ci when he spoke, even if he glanced at Wendell, it was like looking at the air, and he didn't pay attention to him at all, saying: " He's just a puppet."
"What?" Shao Ci was surprised.
Wendell next to him just had a cold face and said nothing.
"Haven't you noticed?" The silver-haired Pope looked at Shao Ci, "After these days, you should have realized that he is not the perfect person in your heart. At that time, his body was actually controlled by the Demon King , to kill the previous pope."
Shao Ci: "..." This is impossible, right? ! Wendell is a person with the halo of the protagonist, how could he be controlled by the devil so casually, and if the devil is so powerful, he would have unified the entire continent long ago.
Although the devil seems to be really powerful, he is so casual when facing the brave man's marriage proposal, obviously he doesn't take the brave man seriously.
Wendell looked over with a gloomy face, and that extremely handsome face was now stained with a bit of gloom, "So, what are you going to do?"
The silver-haired pope glanced at him coldly, and said: "If it is a normal day, of course he would be executed directly. But," he looked at Shao Ci again, "since the brave man values you so much, it may not be impossible to let your life go."
Shao Ci: "..."
"You have no way to escape." The silver-haired Pope looked at Shao Ci, his eyes seemed to be much softer than usual, and he said, "So, come back."
"My lord, are you really not going to do anything to Wendell?" Shao Ci still felt a little unbelievable.
"Naturally." The silver-haired pope said indifferently: "Compared with his life, the brave is naturally more important, and you are very clear about it, why should I lose the most powerful brave against the devil for an insignificant person?"
Shao Ci: "..." Does the Pope have a big opinion on Wendell
"If you have any request, you can ask for it." The silver-haired Pope looked at Shao Ci, "As a brave man, of course he should have some privileges, shouldn't he?"
Hey, does the crying baby have milk? When he was honestly working for the Holy Capital, he had no privileges. Now that he's gone, the salary suddenly rises in a straight line.
"Then, I have one condition." Shao Ci bit the bullet and said: "I want Wendell to accept the last inheritance with me, is that okay?"
If others heard this, they would definitely think that Shao Ci was joking. How could the inheritance of the Holy Capital be accepted by just anyone.
But Shao Ci had no choice now, and tried his best to kill the Demon King. And judging from the Pope's attitude, he really needs a brave man, so Shao Ci certainly took this opportunity to attack.
When Wendell heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he held Shao Ci's hand behind his back. Now, he no longer doubts anything, even if Shao Ci doesn't like him, to Shao Ci, he is different from others.
And what Shao Ci wants him to do, he will not hesitate, as long as it can make Shao Ci happy.
The eyes of the silver-haired Pope seemed a little colder, and then he closed his eyes, and the holy temperament around him became stronger, and he whispered: "Since this is your wish."
After speaking, his figure disappeared completely, followed by the paladins who finally arrived here.
Shao Ci, who was still wearing women's clothing: "..."
Damn, he will become the first brave man in history to wear women's clothing in public! !
—
The Holy Son seemed to have already given instructions, so these people did not embarrass Shao Ci and Wendell, but respectfully led them to the teleportation array.
As for the fact that Shao Ci actually wore women's clothing before, everyone tacitly didn't mention it, as if they were blind before. But afterwards, there were still many rumors that spread, such as this time the hero is not only thin and thin, but also has a cute appearance...
With the teleportation array, the two of them had rushed back to the holy capital in just a few days.
Shao Ci couldn't even imagine how things went so smoothly. He had a feeling that he was still dreaming.
There was originally one last test, but the Pope seemed worried that Shao Ci would run away again, so he directly used his authority to solve the last task.
Shao Ci said to this: "..." Is this even okay? My apologies to Wendell who did the last mission well in the original!
But anyway, the last task is just to get a keel in the Dragon Clan's territory, which is useless except for danger and proving the courage of the brave.
And Shao Ci...has no intention of seeing the Dragon Clan in this world, he cherishes his own life more.
The two lived together as before.
In the middle of the night, Wendell sat up.
He looked at Shao Ci who was sleeping soundly beside him with a smile in his eyes, tucked the quilt on him, and walked to the window.
Under the moonlight, those blue eyes became much lighter, and looked even colder. He whispered: "Sure enough, I still can't escape this day."
Wendell clenched his hands, he knew that this day would come sooner or later. However, at least before that, he can spend a few more days with Shao Ci.
Soon after, it will be the official inheritance of the gods to the brave.
Shao Ci, who has read the original text, knows what this inheritance is all about.
In fact, this inheritance has no technical content at all, it just accepts the holy light bath (it is said that this process requires extremely strong willpower), and then the body can use divine power... and divine power can increase a person's attack power several times, it can be called a bug same thing.
Those brave men in the past did not receive such treatment. The reason for this is that apart from the halo of the protagonist, it is estimated that the saints will not be able to hold on.
Shao Ci is very confident in Wendell. In comparison, he was more worried about whether he could pass the inheritance. If he could, he didn't want to go, but he had to.
Soon the day will come.
The altar of the holy city is the highest place in the holy city, and it is also known as the place closest to God.
At this time, there were only a few priests on the altar. The silver-haired Pope closed his eyes, reciting divine spells lightly. This magical technique seemed to consume a lot, and even his face was pale for a moment.
Immediately, a holy light fell from the sky and landed directly on the altar, and the holiness here became more intense in an instant.
The surrounding priests all showed fanatic expressions, and immediately knelt by the altar.
The silver-haired Pope looked at Shao Ci, "You can go up now."
Shao Ci nodded and followed Wendell up.
Wendell looked cold, and at the moment when he was about to enter the holy light, he closed his eyes slightly as if he had foreseen something.
And Shao Ci didn't realize there was any problem with Wendell at all. After he walked into the holy light, he felt warm all over his body as if soaked in hot water, and his body became lighter and lighter.
"Huh...?" Shao Ci was a little puzzled. In the original work, when Wendell accepted the inheritance, he was in severe pain almost to the point of death. How could he be so relaxed now.
Shao Ci opened his eyes, but what he saw was a strange scene.
He seemed to be standing in the pool of water, surrounded by pure white flowers, and hymns sounded around him, and the divine power here was so strong that it almost turned into mist.
But Shao Ci's spiritual power can feel the unreality here, and here is another constructed illusion.
Immediately, a figure appeared in front of him. He couldn't see the other person's appearance, only the long silver hair that dragged the floor.
Such an aura reminded Shao Ci of the silver-haired Pope, but the person in front of him was undoubtedly a young man, and even his height was more than a head taller than Shao Ci, so Shao Ci could only look up to him.
The other party walked slowly in front of Shao Ci, stretched out his hand and stroked Shao Ci's hair lightly, and said with a light smile, "You are finally here, I have been waiting for a long time."
"You, you are..." Shao Ci quickly deduced the identity of the other party.
Who else can appear in the inheritance of gods besides gods!
And this also proves that this place is just a phantom mirror, otherwise, the strength of God will definitely become the target of the strategy immediately, and it will cause him to have no way to find others to attack (.
Although Shao Ci deduced from the inheritance of the first brave man that there might be something wrong with this god, but now he will naturally not expose it foolishly, and hastily put on a respectful expression, and is about to salute immediately.
But there was an invisible force wrapped around Shao Ci's body, preventing him from doing the next thing.
"There's no need to salute." The other party's voice still sounded so soft, and people subconsciously felt that he was extremely kind. "This inheritance will end soon, just be patient."
"Yes, yes." Shao Ci nodded, suddenly feeling that the scene in front of him became blurred.
And then, something cold and soft was printed on his forehead, and Shao Ci's eyes widened in astonishment. Judging from his experience... This, is this a kiss
But it's okay to just kiss the forehead, this is the background of Western Fantasy, people are more open...
After that, Shao Ci didn't have so much time to think about this kind of problem. Suddenly, a tingling feeling came from his mind, and his body lost strength instantly. He staggered and fell into the water.
The water, which was only up to his ankles before, suddenly became bottomless, and his whole body was submerged in the water. With his blurred vision, he could only see rays of light wandering around under the water.
...
…
When Shao Ci woke up, he was already lying on the bed.
"Inheritance... is it over?" He still had the feeling that he was dreaming.
"It's over." Wendell's voice sounded from the side, "You suddenly passed out on the altar, everyone is very worried."
"Hmm." Shao Ci opened his eyes, and saw Wendell sitting on the edge of the bed smiling at him.
The other party seemed to have changed a little compared to before accepting the inheritance, the pair of blue eyes seemed to be a little lighter, only the gentle smile remained the same as before.
