The moonlight blends with the night. From Jiang Ci's point of view, there are some interlaced lights and shadows on the silver-haired Celestial Clan who is half-kneeling in front of him.
Among many creatures, even among managers, Lucy is objectively a creature that tends to be perfect.
He was endowed with very powerful abilities. Jiang Ci felt that compared to himself as a god with a normal human mentality, Lu Xi's character was more divine.
Absolutely stable order, complete and holy.
But if there's anything missing, it's probably a lack of mercy.
Lucy has a kind of indifference to other races, even to the Celestial Clan.
It was as if the positions were different, and Lucy would not lower his eyes to look at them.
But when Jiang realized that he had touched the opponent's wings, he blinked and met Lu Xi, who was half-kneeling, and looked up at him.
The other party is looking down and looking up, and it is completely voluntary.
"Why does it hurt?" Jiang Ci responded and asked, with a hesitant expression on his face, "I was injured before...?"
This shouldn't be possible...
Subconsciously, Jiang Ci trusted Lu Xi's ability very much. As the manager of the Celestial Clan, there should be few people in this world who could make him hurt.
What's more, it still hurts the wing parts that are very important to Tianzu.
"Arsenie's defensive barriers need magical energy to maintain." Lucy replied lightly, "This part of the energy is provided by the Celestial Clan. When it is extracted from the body, the wings will hurt."
This is not a fabricated lie.
The wings of the Celestial Clan are the parts that store magical energy, and they are also very sensitive. When the stored magical energy is forcibly extracted, it is inevitable that pain will occur.
Jiang Ci just thought that the entire Arsenie's defensive barriers would be very tiring to be maintained by Lu Xi alone. He didn't know that this matter would have such consequences.
So when he was told, especially when he heard Lu Xi personally say "it hurts" to him, Jiang Ci couldn't help but care about him.
"It started from the day I went to the central control room, and has been in pain until now?" Jiang Ci frowned, with a worried expression, "Why didn't you say it before?"
Lucy looked at him and blinked his eyes lightly with a calm and indifferent expression, but remained silent and did not speak.
Because of the habit of patience.
And the habit of forbearance is because he is used to the situation that no one cares about earlier.
Until God came, he tried to express his heart to God.
This is a bit difficult for Lucy, he can't do it proficiently, and now this level is on the frank side.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Ci had to say: "Then it will be like now, if there is anything, tell me directly, don't say nothing."
Only then did Lucy speak, and he asked, "Tell you, will you care about me as much as you do now?"
Jiang Ci felt that he needed to correct the other party's point of view: "Even if nothing happened, I still care about you."
It's not that you only care when something happens.
I don't know what this answer was poking at, Jiang Ci saw some kind of hazy light suddenly become much more real in the pair of strange-colored eyes that were looking at him.
Not knowing if it was an illusion, Jiang Ci felt that these eyes seemed to reflect his appearance more clearly.
Lucy had a strong and devout belief in "God", which first began when he heard many Celestial Races say that God favored him.
That's when he thought for the first time—
What did the God who created him look like
Once this idea was created, it was difficult to get rid of it. He began to try to describe the appearance of God in his heart, and even if he couldn't describe it, he continued to imagine it, and a long time passed without knowing it.
This lonely and long time made him imprint the thirst for "God" in his heart, which deepened day by day, and finally turned into an indestructible piety.
But what Lu Xi believed in was the god he imagined, and even when Jiang Ci first appeared, he regarded Jiang Ci as the god he imagined.
This concept covers Jiang Ci itself.
Jiang Ci's hand was still on the wings behind Lu Xi, he looked down at the pure white six-wing, and his hands followed the growth direction of those white feathers.
Full six wings, is a big project.
Jiang Ci thought so, but he still touched it. The other party specifically told him that he was in pain, so he couldn't help but give a good expression.
"Will it be too hard to touch like this?" Jiang Ci's movements were already very careful, "If yes, I will be gentler."
Lucy didn't resist, and replied in a low voice, "No."
After receiving the reply, Jiang Ci began to act with confidence, but when he touched it, when his fingers touched, the wings he was stroking suddenly moved, as if to avoid his touch.
Obviously it was a reflex movement, and Jiang Ci also subconsciously retracted his hand.
"Pain?" Jiang Ci felt apologetic, "I'm lighter."
Lucy didn't feel the pain to have this reaction. He moved his lips, as if to say something, but he didn't choose to speak in the end.
And then, no matter where Jiang Ci's hand touched his wings, his reaction at most was to lower his eyes. From the side view, he would find that he was enduring something, but the wings behind him would not move any more.
In fact, the wings of the Tianzu are the same as the small curved horns on the head of the night tribe. They are body parts that cannot be easily touched by others. Generally speaking, only intimate objects can be touched. It is very impolite for others to touch them at will. the behavior of.
In normal social interaction, people of both races take this very seriously so as not to offend others.
The wings of the Celestial Clan are very sensitive. There are almost no Celestial Clan who can maintain a calm expression even when others are so carefully stroking their wings, but from Jiang Ci's side, Lu Xi has always kept his brows and eyes motionless.
Apart from the occasional necessary drooping eyes, Lu Xi basically raised his eyes to look at the black-haired young man nearby.
With the gentle touches on the wings again and again, the figure of the young man in his eyes became more and more clear.
The "god" he believes in is Jiang Ci.
The Jiang Ci he believes in is "God".
These two concepts may appear to be indistinguishable, but in fact they are completely different.
Jiang Ci didn't notice any changes, but when he finally ended the big project and found that Lu Xi was staring at him, he saw the concentration and devotion in those strange-colored eyes.
This made Jiang Ci pause for a moment.
Every time Lu Xi came to see him, he was always in the habit of kneeling in front of him. Jiang Ci also said that this was not necessary, but he still insisted on it.
Because this is the other party's subjective wish, Jiang Ci stopped asking after he made it once.
And Jiang Ci now understands that this is Lu Xi's way of expressing his beliefs.
The next day, Jiang resigned to the medical area that was originally in charge of Ivey. This time, he did not let the Celestial Clan follow him, so when he was treating the city residents, the two races in the same space began to frequently fight. eye contact.
To be precise, the two sides slapped eye-knife at each other without giving in to each other, and they also exchanged friendly language—
Tianzu: "Your Night City's construction is good, but it's still not as good as Arsene."
Night Race: "Then you can go back on the floating boat, we are willing to provide free air tickets."
Celestial Clan: "I can barely wait."
Night Race: "Don't force it, it won't bring good results."
Tianzu: "We won't leave."
Night Race: "Humph."
Jiang Ci was quite helpless, but when he saw them, he was just chatting, so he didn't care.
Jiang Ci eliminated the overflowing dark elements in the city people one by one, and while he continued to carry out such work, the Celestial Clan who followed him also took corresponding actions after consultation.
They took out a new type of treatment equipment developed by their own race, and after providing a certain amount of magical energy to recharge it, they put it on the night clan who were still a little weak after Jiang Ci's treatment.
This treatment device is very small, about the size of a coin, and can be easily applied directly to the injured skin.
Compared with the direct use of magic before, this type of equipment developed after the high development of technology is more convenient.
The night people who were helped open their eyes in disbelief: "What are you doing?"
Cheryl, the leader of the SkyClan team, looked at them and said, "We just don't want to keep the gods worried."
No matter what, God comes first to them.
It is true that different races have their own concepts, but they have the same idea of admiring God, and no one wants to do things that make God unhappy.
And even for other races, as long as it is the hope of God, they are willing to help.
But compared to the "friendly exchange" on the bright side just now, the fact that the Celestial Clan helped the citizens of the Night Clan was less obvious, and Jiang Ci almost didn't notice it.
There are fewer city residents in need of treatment today than yesterday. Jiang Ci only needs to stay in the Night City, and the elements in the environment in this area will return to normal as quickly as possible.
When it is completely normal, there will be no new patients.
Jiang Ci said yesterday that Ivey was not allowed to use his method to treat the city people again. Ivey dared not not listen, so he could only watch with a cold face today.
After all the city residents who came here were treated, Jiang Ci then stretched out his hand to Ivey again, palm up: "It's your turn."
Ivey didn't put his hand away immediately. He glanced at Lu Xi who was standing not far from Jiang Ci. When he saw that the other party was not unresponsive, but glanced at him coldly, Ivey deliberately picked on him casually. eyebrow.
This raised eyebrow was a bit sarcastic, but when he turned back to face Jiang Ci, Ivey's expression subsided, and he only pursed the corner of his mouth and put his left hand on Jiang Ci's open palm.
Jiang Ci skillfully repeated the operation, concentrating on dissolving the elements with his mind.
The whole process only took a few seconds, and Lu Xi's eyes stopped on the hands of the two, and the expression on his face was difficult to see.
Can't tell happy or unhappy.
In Ivey's eyes, this is pretentious, but in fact the appearance of "perfection" shown by the other party makes Ivey feel false.
Creation is impossible to achieve perfection, which is only synonymous with God.
Creatures will still have emotions no matter how happy and angry they are. The more indifferent they show, the deeper their emotions are hidden, and it is by no means that they have no emotions.
So Ivey has always been curious about what his performance would look like if the indifferent mask on Lucy's face shattered.
All along, the other party has always kept this indifferent look very well, and Ivey can't do anything except look good.
But now when faced with matters related to God, Ivey can find that the other party is showing care beyond his control.
"Okay." Jiang Ci put down his hands, "I need to do it again tomorrow."
"Hmm." After listening to what Jiang Ci said yesterday, Ivey basically answers Jiang Ci's request to him now.
Not being too enthusiastic, but also expressing his willingness to listen to him, Ivey can only do this.
Jiang Ci didn't think this response was perfunctory. It was a good change from the indifference and resistance in the past to the willingness to obey.
The arrival of Jiang Ci brought a qualitative improvement to the environment of Youye City. The citizens of the Night Clan planned to hold a grand banquet to celebrate today. Ivey agreed, and the city became extraordinarily lively that day.
Because it was a celebratory banquet, after the banquet started, the townspeople and the Celestial Clan who accompanied Jiang Ci to the city consciously did not have any verbal fights, and it was rare to live in harmony.
Jiang Ci also attended the banquet under the expectations of the night clan, but he basically could only sit in his seat, because no matter where he went, he had to attract a group of people to follow him.
Jiang Ci didn't want to cause any commotion, so he sat quietly.
There was a glass of berry-colored liquid on the table in front of him, and a night clan told him that this was a specially brewed fruit wine that could only be produced on the side of Night City.
Thinking that the degree of fruit wine should not be too high, Jiang Ci took a sip. Import found that there was no alcohol taste at all, and it tasted like fruit juice, so he finished the glass of wine with confidence.
At this moment, Ivey came to his side.
Ivey had one last question he wanted to ask. He decided that as long as he finished asking this question and Jiang Ci was willing to explain, he would no longer think about whether God prefers the Celestial Clan... or does he prefer Lucy? thing.
"Why did you only give Lucy a name?" Ivey flattened his voice, originally wanting to seem less concerned when he asked the question, but when he said it, it sounded only counterproductive.
The person mentioned in Ivey's sentence was standing on the other side of Jiang Ci, and Lu Xi looked at him coldly.
The scene in front of Jiang Ci was already hazy. He didn't look like he was drunk on the surface, but now his whole mind was actually a little dizzy.
However, he still heard Ivey's question, and his brain was running dully.
Why did he only name Lucy...
Jiang Ci thought about it for a while, this is simply because he is a nameless person.
The image of Tianzu is the angel in the Bible, and when it comes to angels, it is easy to think of the name "Lucifer".
Perhaps the fallen angel was better known by his name, Lucifer.
So when naming the administrator of the Celestial Clan, Jiang Ci took the first two directly from the name "Lucifer", that is, "Lucy".
As managers of other races could not think of a very suitable name at once, they left it blank and waited for the system to be random.
Jiang Ci's reason was very complete, but in this state of not being sober, he only slowly said four words: "Lucifer..."
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Ivey was stunned for a moment.
Lucy... Phil
whose name is this
Ivey immediately looked at Lu Xi's expression, but found that the other party was staring at Jiang Ci, obviously not knowing what the owner of this name was.
At this moment, Ivey suddenly had a very absurd idea.
Could it be that Lucy, who he has always been reluctant to admit but is really jealous of, is just a substitute for another creature they don't know about...
