Looking at the Pope's attitude, Salman was a little puzzled. Did he say something wrong? Why did the other party look like this
"Why, still can't figure it out?" Looking at the other party's puzzled eyes, the pope knew that the other party hadn't figured out the key point yet, "It's okay to tell you, I never thought about starting a war from the beginning, and now not only It's the vampires who can't afford it, and my church can't afford it either."
This is a fact, and there is nothing that cannot be known.
But this answer gave Salman a strong blow. He originally thought that no matter what, Lance would disappear from the side of the adults this time, but he didn't expect...
"Your Majesty the Pope, if you can't do it, why did you agree to me in the first place!?" The repeated blows made Salman feel stunned, his body shook involuntarily, and he stabilized his body after a long while, but his tone Still a little anxious.
"Promise you?" Looking at Salman in this appearance, the Pope snorted, the fool who was dazzled by love is probably out of his mind now, "If you told me from the beginning that your purpose was to make the church go to war, Then I won't take your opinion from the very beginning!"
This time the Pope was not lying. If Salman had stated from the beginning that he was here to make suggestions for the war, then the Pope would never agree without hesitation.
Although he has a lot of opinions on Lance, compared with destroying the church, that little opinion is insignificant at all.
In an instant, Salman didn't know what to say. Indeed, all of this was his conjecture. The Pope never said that he would go to war with vampires.
But aren't they natural enemies, why...
"Indeed, the Church and vampires are enemies, but don't forget one thing, even a vampire was once the Son of God." The pope shook his head. Although he didn't want to admit it, Cain, the first vampire, could indeed be regarded as the Son of God. Parents are created by God the Father.
These words made Salman choke. Although he also knew these allusions, the relationship between vampires and the church has always been at war with each other for so many years!
"His Royal Highness Salman, let me ask you some questions now." The pope smiled so holy that for a moment Salman had the illusion that this person seemed to be bathed in holy light, extremely holy.
Salman nodded. Although he didn't know what the other party was going to ask, it was not impossible to answer a question, and he hadn't given up yet. Since there was still a possibility of using the church in the future, he didn't want to make the relationship too rigid.
"Actually, His Royal Highness Salman knew from the very beginning that this would be the result after spreading the news." The Pope sighed a bit, obviously already knowing Salman's thoughts.
From the very beginning, the other party didn't really want to help the church, but used the church to achieve their own goals. What they didn't expect was that they didn't buy it at all.
"This...how is this possible? I just want Father Broad to return to the church, and I want to go back to Fort Collins." adults together.
Hearing such an answer, the pope felt disdainful in his heart. After thinking about the possible fate of this person, he became more sympathetic, "Since His Royal Highness Salman is still unwilling to tell the truth, then the next words will be Talk to someone who really wants to hear it."
Hearing what the Pope said, Salman became vigilant. Although he didn't know what the other party meant, he always had a bad premonition.
He got up abruptly and was about to leave immediately, but he felt dizzy for a while. If he didn't know that he had been tricked at this time, he really had a brain problem.
"Why... did you do this?" Salman was unable to concentrate because of his dizzy mind, but he still persisted in wanting to know the answer.
"I didn't want to do this at first, but Your Highness Salman, you are still lying and refuse to cooperate. Then you should go and meet someone who can cooperate with you." The Pope's voice was a little brisk , It seemed that something was said later, but Salman could no longer hear it.
…
When Salman woke up again, he found himself in a dark, damp space.
There was a disgusting musty smell in the air. There were no windows in the whole room, only one door, and a faint yellow light came in through the crack of the door.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, but from time to time it seemed that something could be heard running, and then there was a very slight creaking sound.
mouse!
This recognition made Salman's face turn blue, because he had roughly guessed what kind of place this was—a dungeon.
After knowing where he was, Salman couldn't help but start thinking wildly. Before he passed out, the person next to him was the Pope, so it means that all this is caused by the Pope. Damn, I helped him so much, he It's fine without thanks, but he still treats himself like this.
Just when he was inflicting various tortures on the Pope in his heart, the door opened.
The sudden influx of light caused Salman's eyes to lose their function for a moment, and there was a mocking laughter of a familiar yet strange man beside his ears.
"Who are you!?" Hearing that laughter, Salman's face became extremely ugly. His majestic prince was being teased like this. When people from the Harlan Empire came to rescue him, he must To teach good-looking!
"Who am I?" The other party asked back after hearing his words, with a playful tone in his tone, and when the man spoke, Salman found that he was more familiar with this voice!
"Who the hell are you? Don't you know that kidnapping nobles without permission is a felony!?" Indeed, kidnapping nobles and members of the royal family in the Harlan Empire is simply a crime of beheading.
It's just that all of this is in the Harran Empire, and it is not a crime here, and Salman is just a nobleman of the Harran Empire.
"Oh, Your Royal Highness, this is not the Harran Empire. What kind of nobleman do you think you are?" Some familiar sarcasm, and the disdainful voice of His Royal Highness, instantly, Salman guessed who the other party was. who is it.
"Lance Broad!" If he still can't guess who the other party is at this time, then he really has insufficient IQ, "It really is you!"
After a short recovery, Salman's eyes were able to see everything around him. Sure enough, the person who teased him just now was Lance Broad!
"His Royal Highness can still remember my voice, I am really honored." Although he said he was honored, the eyes of the person in front of him were full of ridicule and provocation. Obviously there was a great discord between Lance and Salman. deal with.
Looking at the person in front of him, Salman had some understanding in his heart.
This person used to be a priest, and the person who plotted against him was the Pope, so let's put it this way...
"Lance Brod, you are not sincere to your lord at all, you just want to use your lord!" After thinking about this, Salman was filled with righteous indignation while secretly delighted in his heart.
Your lord is so kind to this person, yet he even betrays you. This person is not qualified to stand by your side.
"Don't think too much, it's not me who traded with the Pope, but your lord." Although Lance hated this title very, very much, it seems to be a good choice to use it to stimulate the person in front of him.
Sure enough, upon hearing this answer, all of Salman's expressions froze on his face, but a secret joy appeared in his eyes the next moment.
As expected, the lord still cared about him. If he didn't care about him, how could he be exchanged from the pope.
"Don't think too much, now that your lord wants you here, it's not because of reluctance." Having said that, Lance deliberately paused for a moment, and after appreciating Salman's expression, he said slowly, " He just doesn't want to let the person who betrayed him live too happily."
These words are like a basin of ice water in three or nine days, poured down on the head, and the whole heart is cold.
"You, you are lying, it is impossible for the adults to hurt me, it is impossible!" Salman said firmly, but there was always a small voice in his heart telling him that the adults would not forgive him.
Looking at the person who refused to face the reality, Lance shook his head, walked to the door, and said cheerfully, "I'll leave that person to you, you can come here however you want, it doesn't matter whether you live or die." After saying this, Lans Si turned and left, no matter how the people behind him yelled, he ignored it and walked out of the dungeon quickly.
Although he didn't watch it, he can still guess what Salman will end up with.
All life has three innate desires—appetite, sex, and sleep. These are innate, and no one can escape.
For vampires, eating with love is their favorite thing, but because of the principle of avoiding the world, they can only eat simply, and now...
Heh, he doesn't care whether he is mean or shameless, anyone who wants to hit his lover will end up like this.
Back in the room, looking at his lover sleeping on the bed, Lance finally showed a smile on his tense face.
As long as this person is by his side, he will not do anything extreme, but if he is snatched away by others, he thinks, he can do any devastating things.
Holding him in his arms, Lance let out a satisfied sigh.
"Are you back?" Feeling the warmth from the sticker on his back, Erlande slowly opened his eyes and yawned a little, "Is it over?"
I know that my lover is narrow-minded, so after I got Salman from the Pope, Irland let it go. No matter what my lover wants to do, he will not ask. Anyway, he is just an irrelevant human being, as long as his lover is happy. .
"Well, why don't you ask me how I dealt with it?" Lance looked at Ireland and asked him with great interest.
"I don't want to know. As I said, no matter what you do, I won't say anything." He was not joking, but his trust in his lover and his connivance.
Lance understood the meaning of his words, and his whole body was filled with brilliance. It was a very happy thing for his beloved to believe in him wholeheartedly.
Just like that, the two fell asleep hugging each other, with happy smiles on their faces.
And early the next morning, Lance took Ireland and left Fort Collins, calling it a honeymoon.
God knows how many months it will take for this so-called honeymoon to end.
Of course, Lance would never admit that he dragged his lover away because someone always disturbed him and his lover!
As John had guessed, the so-called honeymoon between Lance and Ireland lasted more than ten years, and it was many years later when they finally came back, and during these ten years, Lance took With Eland, he traveled all over the world, and also went to many places that ordinary humans can't go.
These ten years can be regarded as the happiest period of his life for Ireland.
"If you still want to go out, I can still take you to every land in the world." Looking at the nostalgia in his lover's eyes, Lance put a kiss on his side cheek.
Ten years left no trace on his lover, but the more this happened, the sadder Lance felt.
At this time, he faced a very difficult problem for the first time - life expectancy.
Yeah, for Lance and Erlander, there's nothing that stands between them, race or whatever, it's not a problem for either of them.
But there is one thing that two people cannot change, that is lifespan. If Lance does not become a blood race, then for the two of them, the next step is life and death.
"Irland..."
Before Lance called out his name and had no time to say the next thing, he had already shook his head, expressing his refusal.
"You know what I want to say." Seeing such an obvious gesture of refusal from her lover, what she originally wanted to say, but for some reason, she couldn't say it.
"I know, but I can't do that." Even now, Erlande still doesn't want Lance to experience the loneliness he once experienced.
"But I want to be with you, forever!" His lover is still in this world, how could he be willing to leave!
"You will stay with me forever, I promise. Do you still remember the contract we made when we got married?" Erlande never wanted to tell Lance what the contract was, but now it seems that he can't.
Lance nodded to show that he remembered. In fact, he was a little surprised. He didn't ask Erlande what the contract was for, but he never answered it. What is it for this time
"That contract is called a marriage contract. It is a contract that can only be signed between humans and blood races. They will live together and die together!" From the moment the marriage contract was signed, his life had been bound to him. Lance left That moment in this world is also the end of his life.
Although Ireland's explanation was so simple, Lance had clearly seen the answer he wanted from his eyes, sighed, and didn't bring up the matter of the first embrace.
Time goes by so fast and never stays for anyone.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed. Because of the power of light in his body, Lance still looks like a young man in his thirties, while Erlande is still the noble young master back then. Time has never been between the two of them. Leave no marks on your body.
But some things that are destined to be good cannot be changed, and Lance's life has finally come to an end.
Looking at his lover who was lying in the cemetery and would never wake up again, a look of pain flashed in Eland's eyes.
Originally thought that the moment Lance left, his life would also end, but what caught him off guard was that although he could feel the passing of his own power, it would take time for the real end to happen.
"Master, you..." Looking at Erlande, whose face was even paler, John wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
"John, you go back, I want to accompany him." This is the last time he can be with him.
In this way, Eland sat in front of his tombstone for a day and a night. Finally, when the sun rose the next day, a smile appeared on Eland's face.
Standing up slowly, his body spread out like fine sand, but there was still a smile on his face.
Lance, here I come. I don't regret knowing you in this life, nor do I regret giving up eternal life for you. It's just a pity that our eternity is so short...
Raising children is the most annoying thing (Extra)
This story happened on a certain day when they returned from their honeymoon. Because of the company of Lance, the loneliness in Erlande's body has been reduced a lot, but there is always a kind of deep-seated loneliness inadvertently, which makes people feel lonely. Lance couldn't help but feel relieved.
So on this day, while Erlande was inspecting the property, Lance found John and wanted to ask him if there was anything he could do.
When John understood Lance's reason for coming, he put on a gentle smile on his always serious face, "Please don't worry, my lord, the master is just alone for too long, with your company the master will slowly Get better."
Lance couldn't be satisfied with such an answer, he wanted an immediate solution.
After thinking about it for a long time, John only said, "Adopt a little master, the family will always be more lively with children, and the master may not feel lonely."
Although Lance was reluctant after hearing this, he also understood that this was the only way, so he dragged Erlande, who had just woken up, to the orphanage early the next morning.
After arriving at the orphanage, Eland was completely shocked. How could he not know that his lover is such a caring person before
And he really didn't dare to adopt, he was afraid that his lover would directly kill the child.
Looking at Erlande's face, Lance knew what he was thinking, so he gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Don't worry, I won't kill the child!"
Even so, Lance still carefully chooses the child to be adopted.
Over ten years old? PASS!
Such a big child will definitely hinder him and his loved ones, so he must not have it!
boy? PASS!
He has long discovered that for male creatures, a lover seems to have an unparalleled attraction. He believes that even cubs will be attracted, so he must not want it.
So, after picking and choosing, Lance finally chose a babbling baby girl.
When he first took the baby girl home, Lance felt that the baby was like a little angel. Because of her appearance, the smile on his lover's face was even bigger. Although it took up a part of his lover's time, it was still within the range of Lance's tolerance. within.
However…
It wasn't until later that he realized what a wrong choice he had made!
When a child can crawl, the first thing is to crawl over and throw himself into the arms of his lover!
Damn it, don't you know that is his exclusive position!
It's just that when faced with his lover's half-smile expression, Lance immediately froze, and could only look at the little bastard who occupied his own arms with infinite resentment.
Of course, this is not all, but the beginning!
After that, a protracted lover/papa battle began between father and daughter!
"Damn brat, do you know who he is!?" So... Today's routine quarrel (competition) started again
"Old man, of course he is my papa!" The little girl sarcastically returned.
Hmph, papa belongs to her alone, anyone who snatches papa will be killed without mercy!
Lance: Damn brat!
So, this is one thing and one thing. Although Father Lance Broad is very powerful, every time he faces his not-so-cute daughter, he always suffers from Waterloo.
"Honey, your daughter bullies me." Hehe, is there nothing I can do if I can't beat him!
Saying this, Lance threw himself into Eland's arms, looking like he was about to cry. The appearance of a big man can't arouse any pity at all, but his appearance makes love Rand thought it was particularly pleasing to the eye, so he patted Lance on the head, and then said to his daughter, "Lulu, stop bullying your father."
Lulu: Despicable and shameless villain!
Thus, the father and daughter formed a bond like this, and the two disliked each other. Although they always maintained a look of "loving each other" in front of Ailande, but in places Ailande couldn't see, The two people often tripped each other up.
Finally, after suffering for twenty years, Lulu finally grew up and found her lover.
However, on the day of the wedding, Lulu said something that surprised everyone and made Lance gnash his teeth, "Papa, leave that old man and come with me!"
Those who watched the ceremony couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths. The father and daughter have pinched for twenty years and haven't pinched enough. Now that Lulu is married, she still doesn't forget to take her own papa, this father and daughter What an enmity between two people!
Of course, the final result was not that Erlande left with Lulu, but that Lulu was packed and thrown out of Fort Collins by Lance.
Lance, who finally calmed down, said that raising children is the most annoying thing!
Especially when the child is controlled by the father, the hate will double!
