"Very happy," Ambrose turned his gaze back to him upon hearing this, his dark blue pupils fell on his calm face, and said, "However, please allow me to arrange some final matters with the knights."
He Yan let go of the hand clutched on the knight's coat, and shrank into the large coat because of the cold, his light-colored lips parted slightly: "Please go."
Ambrose turned around and took a few steps, and in a low voice briefed a paladin wearing a silver and white staggered cavalier uniform on duty. The paladin had a very resolute and serious face, look The dress specification should be one of the twelve cavalry commanders of the Holy Knight Order.
During the conversation between Ambrose and him, the iron cavalry captain's eyes passed over his face inadvertently.
That was by no means a friendly look.
— Actually understandable.
In the situation where the relationship between the Holy See of Light and the Paladins is so cold, he, a holy son who has no real power, dared to ask the head of the Paladins to send him back to the dormitory like a servant, and he really thinks highly of himself.
Because Cecil has always been devoted to serving the Goddess of Light like a fanatical believer, his relationship with these paladins can only be called mediocre, and now he does such a "unrespectful" thing , one can imagine how embarrassing the situation will be when he becomes an adult at the age of eighteen and chooses a contract knight.
In the consistent tradition of the Holy See of Light, the Holy Son will choose his own contract knight at the coming-of-age ceremony, and complete the contract with this knight. Of course, in order to avoid some embarrassing scenes, the Holy Son will generally reach an agreement in advance with the paladin he likes to ensure the smooth progress of the coming-of-age ceremony.
Under normal circumstances, the holy sons of all ages can always find a paladin who is willing to make a contract with him—even if it is not the one they originally wanted. But there have been occasional cases, because the Holy Son's bad words and deeds have aroused the disgust of the entire Paladin, resulting in no Paladin willing to be his contract knight, and the final coming-of-age ceremony can only forcibly cancel the contract knight link.
The holy son who set the record was the first generation of holy sons after the two-way selection rule began to be implemented. It is also very annoying, and the attitude towards the paladins is very contemptuous, so they were collectively slapped in the face by the paladins, causing such an embarrassing situation.
Since then, the Holy Sons of all ages have learned the lesson. Although they will not intentionally please the Holy Knights, they will try their best to avoid making enemies with the Holy Knights.
However, He Yan didn't care much about these things. In the original trajectory, Cecil successfully got his own contract knight, but in the end, he was not used by the Pope to death
Although the strength of the paladins is indeed very strong, but in the entire paladins, only Ambrose can be compared with the Pope. The current predicament does not provide any real help.
So his main task now is not trying to gain the goodwill of the Paladins, but to win over Ambrose.
It would be best if the leader of the Knights was his reincarnated lover, but if not, he would not easily give up the line of Ambrose.
The biggest bargaining chip he holds now is to know some things that haven't happened in the future. If he uses them properly, he can exchange these with the elves, and he might not be able to exchange them for the opportunity to go to the holy pool of elves for purification.
This is the most feasible method he can think of. Even if Ambrose has a treacherous personality, making a deal with him may cost his life, he can only bite the bullet.
After Ambrose explained the affairs, he turned back to him and whispered to him in a deep voice typical of adult men: "Your Highness Cecil, I have kept you waiting, please come with me."
The voice of the leader of the Holy Knights is low and has some charming hoarseness, like a soft and seductive feather carelessly flirting on the tip of the heart, if the person standing in front of him now is a girl full of feelings The aristocratic young lady must have blushed extremely shyly, and she was full of love for him.
However, in front of him now is a holy son of light who is indifferent to everything except the goddess of light. Of course, it is impossible to be convinced by Ambrose's charm, so He Yan just held Cecil's cold face and looked at it with restraint. The head of the Holy Knights nodded.
Ambrose was not a talkative person. On the way to send him back to the dormitory, he still abided by the knight's rules of etiquette and protection, and kept silent all the way.
After being reprimanded mercilessly by him, the attendants also stood on tiptoe, followed behind them with their heads lowered and not daring to show their air.
The atmosphere was very quiet for a while.
In order to show respect for the Holy Son, even though Ambrose was slightly higher than him in rank, he still walked side by side with him.
The night wind blew, and brought a small, white flower to his shoulder in the thin white knight underwear.
It is a strangely shaped four-petal flower, one pair of petals is short and pointed, the other pair of petals is very slender, and the top is slightly upturned, just like a pair of beautifully shaped wings, and the whole is like a bird spreading its wings. The small bird, coupled with its pure white and holy color, is somewhat similar to the phoenix holding the seed of light on the shoulder of the goddess of light in the mythical volume of the continent of Deland, so it is called "the flower of light". It is also called "the flower of immortality".
This kind of flowering tree is planted everywhere in the Holy See of Light, and it is their flowering period at this time, and the white flowers are like countless phoenixes singing to the light, adorning the tree.
This kind of flower is always numerous, dense, and extremely fragile, and it will be easily taken away from the tree by the breeze. Even if the servants of the Holy See have worked tirelessly to clean it over and over again, small white flowers blown down by the wind can be seen everywhere on the ground. .
Noticing He Yan's brief gaze on his shoulder, Ambrose took the initiative to break the silence.
He stretched out his left hand with a white glove, and brushed the white flower that fell on his shoulder to the ground, his dark blue pupils looked at him calmly, and narrated in an extremely ordinary tone: "The flower of light has bloomed. "
He Yan was silent for a while, and finally nodded in agreement, and gave a soft "huh".
Then he noticed, whether it was a coincidence or not, the flower of light was pushed back, and happened to be stepped on by Ambrose's cold and hard shining knight boots. When the knight boots were removed, one could clearly see He saw that the originally bright and bright flower had been crushed into pieces by the sole of the shoe, and transparent juice fell on the ground, shining faintly under the light of the low-level light technique.
Like the afterglow of the dying light before the darkness comes.
In the end, Ambrose sent him to the door of the dormitory, reached out and took off the coat that was on him, and said goodbye politely: "I wish you sweet dreams, Your Excellency Cecil."
He Yan also politely replied: "I also wish you a sweet dream, Your Excellency Ambrose, thank you for your escort tonight."
The corners of Ambrose's mouth curved slightly, evoking an indistinct smile, "It's a great honor."
I don't know if it was his illusion, but the moment Ambrose turned his head to leave, he seemed to see a dark red in the man's pupil that flashed away like a dark will-o'-the-wisp with an ominous atmosphere.
A brief conversation on the night of Advent seems to have been forgotten by both parties.
Due to the busy schedule of the head of the Holy Knights, Ambrose does not actually appear in the Holy See frequently. In order to maintain Cecil's personality, He Yan only prayed quietly in a specific place in the Holy See, even if he was in his heart. Getting a little angry, the two regretted that they never met again.
Not long after, He Yan received a new mission from the Pope.
If there are no accidents, this will be his last outing mission before adulthood.
"My child," the Pope called him before him, and when his eyes fell on him, there was a hint of love in his dark gray pupils: "This is not such a difficult task. I believe that with your ability, You must be able to resolve this matter before the 20th of next month and rush back to the Holy See, then I will personally host the coming-of-age ceremony for you."
What the Pope said was indeed true. Compared with the previous ones, the task he assigned to Cecil this time was indeed very simple.
A violent monster appeared in a small city on the edge of the Teresan Empire. It had already taken the lives of five innocent people and injured more than a dozen people.
He Yan's task this time is to take two cardinals and three paladins to cooperate with the local Holy See of Light to heal the injured people, and then find the trace of this chaotic monster and kill it.
According to the information from the local Holy See, the strength of this monster is not high, and it is at least three levels lower than him. Only Warcraft solves it.
This level of Warcraft labor, he, the Holy Son of Light, made a move. To be honest, it was indeed a bit of a mobilization.
However, He Yan also understands the purpose of the pope's arrangement. Faith does not come just by beckoning. As the "image ambassador" of the Holy See, he has to do some tasks from time to time to "save the people from fire and water". It is to win over the people, deepen their favor for the Holy See of Light, and then win their pious belief.
The Holy See of Light has teleportation arrays in several big cities of the Teresan Empire. They first used Shifer's teleportation array to reach the nearest big city, and then traveled by car. In the end, it only took three days. Just arrived at this small town named "Simi" from Shifer.
The news of the coming of the Holy Son had arrived here three days earlier, and the residents of the small town who were plagued by monsters were delighted and encouraged by it. On the day of He Yan's arrival, he received an extremely warm welcome.
Simi is a small town with a very backward economy. Most of the people living here are old people, women and children. Young and middle-aged people all go to more developed big cities to earn a living, and only come back a few times a year. Well, the Guangming Holy See built here is also of the lowest level, and the armed forces of the entire town can be ranked among the bottom few in the country.
This is also the reason why a low-level monster can cause so much damage here so easily.
When he got off the carriage engraved with the glorious logo of the Central Holy See, what he saw were faces engraved with poverty, weakness, and hope.
In order to show respect for the Central Holy See and the Holy Son, except for the dozen or so wounded who were wounded by the monsters, all the people in Ximi Town gathered here today.
Seeing him stepping down from the carriage, the noisy crowd instantly became quiet, almost silent.
In the silence, a weak and immature voice suddenly appeared.
"Mom, is that His Royal Highness the Son?"
Before the person he asked could answer, the voice quickly said the next sentence: "He is so beautiful..."
This sentence is indeed true.
This His Royal Highness the Holy Son, who has only been heard in rumors, has fair skin like a flower of light, with a delicate and holy appearance, dark eyes that are reminiscent of precious black crystals, and light lips, which are the same as the pupils of the eyes The jet-black hair hangs smoothly behind his head, falling on the bishop's robe intertwined with platinum, showing an inviolable dignity.
In this small town where few aristocrats set foot here, it was the first time they saw such a noble person from head to toe. There were also young people with outstanding looks in their town, but under the oppression of poverty, even He is handsome, but also has an indelible roughness on his body.
He Yan followed the voice and saw that it was a short child. Because he was thin and there was not much flesh on his cheeks, his eyes appeared particularly large. Behind him was a middle-aged woman in gray linen clothes.
After the child said those words, the woman standing behind him immediately covered the mouth of the child in front of her with her hand, raised her head and looked at him in panic with her cloudy brown eyes, as if she was very afraid of this person who came from far away. The Holy Son from the Central Holy See will be offended by a childish remark.
In her experience, those exquisite noble young masters prefer to be praised as handsome or masculine. The word "beautiful" is used to describe men, and it is often considered to have an insulting meaning.
Since the attack of the monsters, they have spent half a month in fear and despair. When the bishop announced that the central Holy See would send the Holy Son here to kill them, almost everyone prayed in their hearts that His Highness could The cardinals with the central Holy See can arrive as soon as possible.
But now... His Excellency the Holy Son, whom they have been looking forward to so much, just got off the carriage and heard such frivolous words. If he gets angry about this, will they be rejected by the Holy See
However, the Holy Son unexpectedly behaved very gracefully. After his calm gaze briefly touched the middle-aged woman, he suddenly stretched out his hand and cast a light spell.
A ball of pure white light flew out from his palm, rose high, and emitted a light that was more dazzling than the sun, and then turned into pieces of irregular shapes at the peak, and was pulled by an invisible force, falling lightly to the ground. to the people present.
The moment these fragments fell on their bodies, everyone felt that the exhaustion on their bodies was completely removed, filled with a warm and intoxicating sense of comfort, and even their hearts couldn't help being filled with joy.
This is a middle-level group healing technique.
Although in theory, even a person with average talent can cast intermediate-level light spells after more than ten years of dedication to practicing light spells as long as there is a teacher's dedicated guidance, but it is difficult for people who can cast He Yan so easily. But not many.
—Although Cecil is delicate and frail, he started to pant after two steps, but his attainments in the art of light are indeed extremely high. Even though he is still underage, his strength is already higher than many cardinals.
The bishop of the Holy See of Simi is an old man, and the years have mercilessly carved deep grooves on his face. His strength is not high, and he can only be a dispensable teaching assistant in a slightly developed city. He was sent to such a remote and poor town as a bishop only because of his sufficient qualifications.
"Your Highness the Holy Son," the bishop walked out of the crowd after the middle-level light technique ended, and saluted him tremblingly: "Please follow me to settle down in the Holy See."
Then He Yan returned to the carriage under the eager and grateful eyes of the people, and was taken to the Holy See to settle down.
The Holy See here is indeed the lowest level, and the environment of the Central Holy See is not one or two points worse. The outer walls of many buildings have begun to peel off in large pieces, and the original pure white walls have also been stained with dust. There was a sense of dilapidation that couldn't be concealed.
It was already evening when the group of them arrived in Simi Town, and by the time they were fully settled, the sky had turned completely dark.
After a rough exchange of the current situation with the old bishop, He Yan was sent to a temporary room by three paladins.
In the middle of the night, these three powerful paladins will take turns to be on duty in front of his door to ensure his safety.
Dim yellow lights flickered inside the house.
There are no bright lamps maintained by low-level light techniques here, and traditional candles are still used for lighting, and these candles seem to have been placed for too long, and the light is a bit dim.
The biggest problem in Simi, the Holy See of Light, is the lack of manpower. The old bishop who survived by relying on his qualifications is already the person with the highest light skills here, and there is no extra light skills to waste on trivial matters such as lighting .
Although the conditions here are very backward, the room prepared for him has been carefully tidied up very clean and fresh, and the quilts on the bed are also brand new and soft. For the low-level Holy See with so much money, it can be regarded as a luxury.
After taking a simple bath in the room, He Yan took off his coat, leaving only a layer of underwear, and used a small light technique to extinguish the candle, before going to sleep.
Although using the teleportation array is fast and convenient, the side effects will also make people feel unwell for the next few days. This kind of discomfort cannot be eliminated by healing, and the three-day journey made this very delicate The body is inevitably a little tired.
In addition, the mid-level healing technique released today also consumed part of his energy, so he really needs to take a good rest.
According to what the old bishop said, the monster had already visited the town once the night before, and according to the usual rules, the unpredictable monster would come to the town again to do evil at least three days later, so they didn't need to be too busy tonight. If you are nervous, you can take a good rest and get up in the morning tomorrow to discuss how to deal with that monster.
But there are always surprises in everything. Tonight, the monster that caused panic among the people did not appear as the honest old bishop said, but another uninvited guest quietly attacked the Holy See of Simi.
—To be precise, it attacked His Royal Highness the Holy Son who had just arrived at the Holy See today and was sleeping peacefully.
The moment the uninvited guest entered the room through the window, He Yan woke up immediately.
Although there are three paladins guarding the door, he is not used to entrusting his life to others, so before going to sleep, just in case, he specially set up a defensive barrier outside the room with mental power .
— Facts have proved that his caution is completely correct. When the uninvited guest lightly touched his bed, the paladins outside the house remained silent as if they hadn't noticed.
He Yan closed his eyes quietly, kept his breathing steady, and became mentally alert, but he didn't preemptively strike.
This person was able to sneak into his room under the protection of three paladins, so his strength must not be much weaker.
"Oh?" The uninvited guest who stayed in front of his bed for a few seconds suddenly opened his mouth and made a sound, as if he was not worried about alarming the guards outside the house, and casually sighed: "You are awake, you are really a clever little guy."
was found!
Moreover, this person can blatantly make a sound in the house, either he has set up a barrier, or even the paladins outside the house have been molested by him. In short, the three paladins can't be counted on.
At this point, He Yan no longer pretended, and the filaments of spiritual power dormant in the spiritual sea directly rushed out of the spiritual sea and stabbed at the visitor.
After he opened his eyes, he met a pair of blood pupils unexpectedly!
Although he has always known that the eyes of the blood elves are a strange and ominous color of blood, it was only when he saw them with his own eyes that he deeply felt the piercing and evil feeling these pupils brought to people.
The pupils of this pair of blood pupils are extremely deep dark red, shrunk extremely thin even in the middle of the night, as cold and piercing as tiny needlepoints, revealing an aura that is definitely not kind, and the pupils surrounding the pupils are The slightly brighter blood red, against the pale moonlight shining in from the open window, gave off a strange blood red light.
This person's face should have been covered by some kind of spell. Lying on the bed, He Yan could only see a vague outline, which seemed to be the appearance of an adult man. He couldn't see the details at all. The only thing he could see clearly was the couple. Represents the evil blood pupil.
The person who came easily interrupted his spiritual attack with a stronger force, and oppressed him so that he couldn't move.
"Cecil," his voice was still so casual, and he seemed to comment with a hint of joking: "Your vigilance is higher than I originally thought."
He paused for a moment and sighed, "However, what's the use of that?"
As the visitor spoke, he bent slightly, stretched out a cold hand from the darkness, and stroked his cheek like a deeply loved lover.
His nails seemed to be a little sharp, and as they slid across He Yan's face lightly, they easily cut a hole in his tender skin.
He Yan could feel a viscous fluid slowly sliding down his cheeks, it should be his blood.
This body has been carefully cared for in the Central Holy See for eight full years, and its tolerance to pain is very poor. Just a tiny wound made him frowned in pain.
Seeing the blood flowing from his face, the visitor suddenly became excited, and the blood pupils became brighter in an instant, as if there was blood flowing slowly in them!
Then he bent down even deeper, and the pair of blood pupils got closer and closer until they almost touched his face—
Immediately afterwards, He Yan, who was oppressed by invisible pressure and unable to move on the bed, felt a wet and slippery object licking lingeringly on his cheek, draining all the blood dripping from his face at an extremely slow speed. suck away.
