After making a little joke that day, Theodore disappeared, and it was three days later when Shen Fengyue saw him again.
Just as Theodore opened the door and stepped into the room, he was interrupted by Shen Fengyue's voice: "Are you hiding from me?"
Theodore spent those three days in the Temple of Light. He repented in front of the statue, asked his heart, and recited the holy scriptures over and over again in order to gain peace of mind. The exact effect is unknown, but on the surface he was tensed.
"No." He shook his head.
Shen Fengyue looked at him, and suddenly covered her lips and smiled, with a bright smile, like the first flower blooming on a branch in a spring day.
"Don't worry, I won't tease you again in the future." Shen Fengyue turned over and didn't enter the second half of the sentence. Because I'm leaving soon.
The Son of God looks serious and serious, like an old cadre, and his reaction is cute when teased, but his purpose is to be the son of darkness who is a bug, and he can no longer waste precious time with the Son of God.
On the occasion of parting, Shen Fengyue restrained herself, was honest and calm, and did not appear to be a demon in normal times.
His behavior was abnormal, and it was rare to be quiet, but Theodore was not used to it, and there was a faint worry in his heart, and he always felt that things were not so simple.
The afternoon passed quickly, and it was a rare quiet moment for them for so long.
The sun shines softly through the fully open fan-shaped window, illuminating half of the sleeping person's face under the window sill. The dandelion stalks swayed in the breeze, and the fluffy white seeds fell on his hair, on his clothes, and on his long eyelashes.
Theodore's hunch came true, and that night, the Holy See of Light was attacked by unknown people. Someone set fire to the entire Holy See, and everyone around was busy putting out the fire and arresting the thieves. For a time, the entire Holy See of Light was in chaos.
In the blaze of fire, Theodore subconsciously chose to imprison Shen Fengyue's palace for the first time.
The gate of the palace was kicked open, and as far as the eyes could see, there was only an empty prison cage. As if displeased, the man also set fire to the palace, and the abandoned cage was scorched by the flames, making a sizzling sound.
Theodore held on to the door frame, his fingers turned white, he lowered his head and suddenly cursed: "…Little liar." He actually ran away.
The fire was not strong and was quickly put out. It seems that the intention of the sneak attackers is not to attack them, but to have other plans.
No one was injured or died in the Holy See, and the buildings were not badly burned. It was just that the traitor who was imprisoned in the cage disappeared.
The next day during the day, the Holy See began to liquidate what happened last night. The people below reported the situation to the Pope. The Pope was furious and realized something: "Damn it! It must have been made by the Dark Cultists. They let the traitors go, they must be plotting something!"
"We must quickly recapture the traitorous gods, the cage can no longer be used, and we have to rebuild a new one." The Pope held the scepter and groped for the uneven lines on the scepter, "Notify the Knights, Let them take three passers-by to secretly arrest them, and those who betray the gods escape, this matter should not be publicized, otherwise it will cause panic among the masses."
When the subordinates were about to go down after taking orders, Theodore, who was always silent by the side, spoke up. He said to the Pope: "Your Majesty, please allow me to follow the Knights to capture the traitor back."
The Pope was astonished to hear him say this: "You don't have to..."
That's right, Theodore laughed at himself. He didn't have to do this. It was the responsibility of the Knights to catch a fleeing betrayer, and he didn't need his holy son to do it himself. But he still made a request, he wanted to catch the little liar back with his own hands.
Theodore knelt down in front of the statue and repented countless times. Gradually, he realized something.
The Holy See of Light is sacred, rigorous, solemn, and immutable. Like a pool of still water without waves, but one day, a small pebble was thrown into the still water, causing a large wave.
Huge ripples were generated in the stagnant water, which ushered in an impact on the Holy See and also on his calm heart.
And Shen Fengyue was the stone thrown in by accident. It was small in size but huge in energy, causing the Holy See to be turned upside down.
He was alive, out of tune with the strict dogma and precepts, out of line with their group of devout believers in the God of Light. The Holy See is static, but he is active, so from the moment he appeared, Theodore always unconsciously set his eyes on him and was attracted by him.
"It is my duty to guard the betrayer, and it is also my fault that the betrayer flees. So I beg His Majesty the Pope to agree," he said.
The Pope didn't understand his thoughts, sighed and finally agreed, and told him to come back early, the Holy See of Light could not be without the Holy Son.
Theodore nodded, and returned to his room after the Pope said he was gone.
After a sound of mechanical interlacing, the dark room was opened, and a painting covered by a flannel lay quietly inside. There are not many things in the dark room, and this painting is the most conspicuous of them.
Theodore took off the canvas, revealing the true face of Lushan in the painting.
The character in the painting is a young man with silver hair and silver eyes, lying on his side casually, with a sly smile on his lips. There were one or two dandelion seeds in his hair, and there were vertical cages in front of him, imprisoning him here.
Theodore took out the painting and looked down at it for a moment.
This is the deepest secret in his heart.
Then he put the painting on the table, picked up the knife on the side, and used the knife to carefully cut off the right eye of the person in the painting.
The end of that eye was slightly raised, bringing out a touch of faint red, and a strong smile flowed in it. It is a pair of silver eyes that have been deprived of color by the gods, but the brilliance in them is unmatched in the world.
The colors of the world melted into that eye, not like punishment, but like a gift from the gods to him.
Theodore looked at it a few times before he dared to look again, afraid that if he looked a few more times, something beyond his expectations would happen. He mounted the cropped eye on a circular brooch, which he then pinned inside his underwear—where no one else could see it.
He can't see either.
He tidied up his clothes and touched the brooch with his fingers through the fabric. The eye is in the middle, as if his fingers were stroking that eye. This was his biggest secret, and Theodore did it after a few touches, and put the painting back into the darkroom.
Since then, the brooch has been pinned to his underwear. The cloth obscures its shape, and no one knows the secret. With his most obscure thoughts, Theodore condensed all his emotions on this small brooch.
He looked up and looked out the window, his eyes passed through all the buildings, through the destroyed cage, through the slender and slender paths, and fell on the fleeing man, on the darkness where there is no sunlight all year round place
—The opposite of the continent.
