Ethan and Samuel stared at the priest, and invariably said, "Huh? Who?"
Tanissell repeated it slowly with a very patient tone, "I said, my father is the younger brother of King Eve, Grand Duke Nishikawa."
"Then you are King Eve's nephew! Oh my god, you are still a prince!" Samuel looked at the priest in disbelief, "No wonder you are so courageous that even a fugitive dares to go to Eve. Fuxing belt. Dare to continue to go back to be a duke even if you are expelled!"
Taniser tilted his head innocently, "But my parents are no longer alive, and I have already accepted the soul purification ceremony and dedicated everything to the Lord God in this life, so I have no right to inherit."
"That's also royal blood!" Samuel said with an expression of "I don't care, you are a local tyrant anyway", and smiled with his arms crossed, "I originally thought that if we were found out, we might be sent back, but now it seems that we don't have to worry too much. worried."
"Don't be too optimistic." Tanissell became serious and said with a serious face, "I said not to overestimate the privileges that my identity brings to me. Before, I arbitrarily misappropriated and damaged the egg of the Sequence God and disobeyed it many times. You have already been punished by your superior's order, and taking you here this time took a lot of risk. You have to obey my arrangements, and don't do anything I don't let you do."
Ethan pressed the mouth of Samuel, who was still trying to raise the bar, with his backhand, and said to Tanisel, "We all follow your arrangements."

When their spaceship entered the territory of the Eve Starfield, they received a communication request from the Border Agency. At that time, Ethan and Samuel followed Tanisel's instructions and hid in the blind spot of the ship's surveillance in the bathroom so that Tanisel could Said he came back alone.
Their plan is to park at a relatively remote Eve space station first, and Taniser will need to buy some items needed for camouflage in the black market. During the whole process, Ethan and Samuel didn't even take a step away from the spaceship, locking themselves in the dark spaceship waiting for Tanithel to return. Samuel became unusually reticent, locking himself in his room every day, not knowing what to do.
Ethan, on the other hand, left the anonymity lock on and browsed the news on the ship's computer. In the past, within the Earth Alliance, all news was censored and filtered, but now that it has come out, it has begun to enter the domain that I have only heard of but never had the chance to actually enter. Then he knew that the Earth Alliance was not very peaceful. The first is that the experiment on Neptune caused a large-scale infection in the Second Universe. That infection has spread to the space station near Neptune at that time. It is said that many people died due to the discovery too late. Ethan couldn't imagine how those people died, watching the steel buildings rapidly twist and melt, the space was cut to pieces, and the man's head twisted and deformed, and the brain was pulled like noodles from its nostrils. It came out horribly.
There was no report of such a big disaster in the Earth Alliance, and it was obviously blocked by the military. Now that the infected area has been controlled and sealed off, no one knows what happened inside, and there are no survivors.
Another piece of news that caught his attention was that the spread of the Faith of the Benefactor Society had even caught the attention of some international media. In a sarcastic joke, they said that many of the citizens of the Earth Alliance had been brainwashed by a prisoner, leaving the government in such a mess that they might secretly execute Chen, the cult leader who was locked up in the forbidden city. They described Chen Zeng as very mysterious, saying that he had a unique personal charm. When I first met him, I just felt very kind and friendly. The more time passed, the more convincing and calm he became. Some of the things he predicted were also One by one it came true.
And his most widely circulated prophecy is the arrival of the "Great Evil God". Because the horrific mutant slaughter of prisoners did happen in the Forbidden City.
It was in that report that Ethan saw his own face. That's when he was still the secretary of the Energy Agency, wearing a tailored suit shirt, parted hair neatly secured with hairspray, and a pair of expensive thin-rimmed glasses. No one would have thought that such a gentle-looking Beta could turn out to be a mutant monster.
Ethan did not expect that he would become the missionary material of the Benefactor Association, and he just felt dumbfounded.
Obviously they forced him to become that way...

Tanithel came back wearing a dark grey cloak and hood with a large trunk in his hand. After opening it, there are some Eve costumes and many strange solution reagents, which look like a Frankenstein box. Tanissell took out some simulated pointed ears and some messy bottles and jars, saying that those are all materials that professional live-action make-up artists would use, and sticking to the ears is the same as the real thing, as long as it is not close to it. If you look closely, you can't see it at all.
The priest forced Ethan to change into an Eve-style dark green velvet tunic, with delicate pale gold strings tied around the waist, and white dark-patterned trousers on the legs. Then he was pushed back into the chair by the priest, working on his ears and face for a while, before the priest nodded in satisfaction, and with a bit of pride let Ethan stand in front of the mirror and look at him. Ethan was a little dumbfounded, and now his skin itself was a little sickly pale, and with those two pointed ears and a third eye, he really looked like an Eve. On this basis, Tanissell clipped what looked like ear studs on each of his ears. In fact, they were two small realistic projection holes, which projected projections that were almost imperceptible to the naked eye. The light beam covers the face in a thin layer, subtly changing the shape of the facial features. Therefore, at this time, Ethan was completely unable to recognize himself in the mirror. He opened his eyes wide and his shock was evident, and the slender Eve boy in the mirror, who looked like he was not even in his twenties, also widened his eyes. .
Can't tell that Ethan is actually thirty years old...
The explanation given by the priest is that the average height of human beings is shorter than that of the Eves, and pretending to be young is less likely to arouse suspicion.
Samuel also had a magical expression, and hesitantly looked at the two similar "ear clips" lying in the palm of his hand. Fortunately, this kind of disguise artifact can only be bought in the black market, otherwise, if you walk on the street, you may not know whether someone is a real face or a fake face.
"Remember to wear something on your ears when you go out." Tanissell urged, "I will say, you two are my apprentices, and you have to learn to do things to me when you are out. Some courtesy, and calling me a 'mentor'."
Day and night, Tanithel taught Ethan and Samuel some basic priestly etiquette, as well as simple Eve. Ethan learns quickly, and although he is not very proficient in language, he can basically get through with the help of a voice translator. But Samuel's learning speed was much slower, which was not his forte. In the end Tanissell gave up and decided to let him pretend to be mute and never speak.
A week later, they finally saw Eve from a distance.
It really is a very beautiful planet, surrounded by a layer of purple sky-like dreamy atmosphere, large pieces of colorful land floating in the middle of the blue-purple sea water. There is a dark purple planetary ring around it that rotates slowly, like the flying skirt of a ballerina, and two satellites, which are probably smaller than the moon, are also dancing tirelessly in different orbits.
Slightly larger than Earth, it takes about twenty-eight hours for its autobiography to complete one revolution, and four hundred and fifty-two days to revolve around the beautiful red giant star. There are more and more spaceships in the orbit near it. The shape of those spaceships is obviously different from the round style of the earth. The lines are smooth and slender, like silver whales swimming in the vast sea of the universe.
The spacecraft merged into orbit around the earth, circled half a circle to the preset position, and started the landing propulsion procedure. The spacecraft roared through the thick lavender atmosphere, burning a cold blue slash. They fell into the vast ocean of peacock blue, the closest landing point to the city of Siloam, the capital of Eve. After the spaceship sank in the sea for a while, many small dishes like things floated up from the water. Duckweeds were generally arranged at the exit of the spaceship, extending to the land not far away.
The hatch opened slowly, and Ethan held his breath when he saw the beautiful sky that seemed to dance forever in the sunset. The white city in the distance undulates on the slopes of the mountains, and the semi-circular planetary wheel spanning half the sky at the end of the sky reflects thousands of beautiful colors, dyeing the clouds into an impressionist style.
What an unreal planet that somehow feels like a perfect match for Tanisel...
They walked towards the shore on the "duckweed" on the sea, and there were several spaceships on both sides floating silently on the sea, like sleeping sea monsters. On the harbour, a wide staircase rises from the sea, leading all the way up to a white stone bridge that extends into the sea. On the right side of the stone bridge is a white stone statue even taller than the bridge, a long-bearded old man wearing a robe. On the other side of the bridge is a black stone statue. The man's dress suddenly looks a bit like an Egyptian pharaoh, but it is not the same when you look closely.
For some reason, the black figure made Ethan a little uneasy, always feeling something unpleasantly familiar to him.
Tanethel donned a grey hood as he stepped up the stone steps, seemingly unwilling to draw attention. In order to prevent anyone from picking him up or watching him, he deliberately accelerated his journey and arrived a day earlier than expected. Seeing this, Ethan also pulled the hat on his cloak. Only Samuel followed nonchalantly. Anyway, he didn't think there was anything to be afraid of because of the realistic projection on his ears.
This is the first time Ethan has seen so many Eves. Because I was used to seeing the priest's inhuman appearance, I suddenly saw a down-to-earth version of Eve who would crowd around the market like a human, haggle with small vendors, and swagger in groups of three or five. People have a subtle sense of disillusionment. But it is undeniable that the Eves have a serene and peaceful demeanor, and even when they quarrel, they are a little more rational and harmonious.
And the cities of the Eves are very different from those of humans. They didn't raise the buildings on the ground very high, and they were very fond of using curves and complex structures, and the whole city was moving like a poem of ups and downs. There are also many fewer aircrafts that shuttle in the air orbit than the earth space station, and the dual-purpose vehicles are constantly flowing, so that there will be no traffic jams.
Ethan looked all the way, and his heart was full of amazement. In his concept, the city is always gray, and the atmosphere of the space station is always gloomy. After entering the forbidden city, this impression is even stronger. It made him feel a desperate sense of disgust. He had never seen such a city, such a city full of vitality and color...
Tanissell called an autopilot and stuffed Ethan and Samuel into it. He sat in the front seat and said in Eve, "Go to May Lake Manor."
Ethan barely understood the sentence, so he asked him, "What manor? Aren't we going to the temple?"
"I need to go back to the temple to arrange some things before I consider picking you up. May Lake Manor is my father's fief and where I lived when I was a child. You will be safe there." The priest sitting in the front seat turned back. , smiled at him, "I'm going home with me, are you excited?"
The author has something to say:
Entering the "Ghost Castle" in the next chapter, I wonder if the father-in-law will climb out of the grave to see the "daughter-in-law" or something~~
