An Illustrated Guidebook To Other Races - Chapter 104
Even you might not believe it.
One day you will be grabbed by the noble Holy See, and walk swiftly across the hallway of the sacred palace.
Obviously this kid has just reached your chest, but his strength is amazing. When he drags you forward, you can’t even keep up with him.
Even though the boy with silver hair and purple pupils looks extremely similar to the little demon **** in your dreams, the completely different temperament on the two of them and the holy silver hair make you hesitate and confused.
Because of the unique identity of the Son, even Garukh, who is the presiding judge of the Holy See, can’t stop him from taking you away without authorization.
“Hey…His Royal Highness, where are you taking me?” You asked nervously.
“To shut up!”
The silver-haired and purple-eyed boy scolded coldly. After speaking, he seemed to notice that his tone was too cold, so he slowed down, and added in a slightly awkward tone, “Don’t talk, I’ll take you to meet someone. ”
After a pause, he turned his head and glared at you dissatisfied with those beautiful purple eyes, “Call me Xi’an, didn’t you give me this name?”
… It really is.
Your eyes widened in amazement, and your mind was in confusion.
In other words, your previous conjecture was actually correct, and the culprit who caused the panic on this continent now is actually the new saint son of the Central Holy See.
So… does anyone else know this?
“…What are you thinking?” The boy suddenly sank, the dark and deep purple pupils that are not like innocent children staring straight at you, making your body appear like ants crawling over. Shivering with a sense of danger.
This feeling is also very similar.
You carefully stretched out your hand and tentatively touched the boy’s white silver hair.
The boy was stunned, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and a little annoyed blush appeared on the tips of his ears, “Who let you touch me without authorization?”
“Sorry, Your Highness…Um!”
He grabbed your hand for a little bit, and your white wrists turned a striking crimson.
But the boy didn’t notice anything, his purple pupils still looked at you gloomily and displeased.
“Xian… Your Majesty, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t touch your noble body without your permission…” You tried your words, but the next moment was interrupted by the boy’s plunge into his arms.
He hugged you tightly, his face buried in your chest, and you can see the child’s hair spin as soon as you lower your head.
“Sure enough, a real person is more comfortable to hold…”
While you were at a loss, you heard the vague muttering of this lovely and delicate silver-haired boy holding you.
If you are hugged by an ordinary child, you will only smile and touch his head, but the boy in your arms is not a real child, and even his age may have been hundreds of times yours, so you think Very weird and embarrassing.
However, you also feel something very strange.
Xi’an in reality is a bit more human than he in dreams, and his emotional response is quite rich. At first glance, it looks no different from normal human beings, but Xi’an in dreams gives you an extremely scary one. The dangerous icy hollowness, just his gaze makes you feel as if you are cramped and shivered by skinning, like a puppet that has no emotions but instinct to kill and destroy.
What changed him?
When you were really puzzled, you suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation from the position of your chest that was like a pinpoint poking. It was not particularly painful, but it was hard to ignore.
At the same time, you find that the familiar feeling of drowsiness and loss strikes up again, as if something invisible was secretly taken away when you didn’t know it.
“Hey, what’s the matter with you?” Realizing that something is wrong with you, Xi’an raised her head and stared at you, slightly worrying in her beautiful dark purple eyes.
When you saw his appearance, your eyes widened in amazement.
The child who was barely able to reach your chest just before suddenly grew a little taller.
It seems that his growth is based on something of you as nourishment.
But the boy didn’t seem to notice this.
“…It’s okay, maybe it’s just a little sleepy.” You blinked and whispered.
Xi’an looked at your face intently, and a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her lips.
“Originally, I wanted to wait until I grew up to pick you up. Since you delivered it to the door in advance, it saves the time I wasted to find you.”
As soon as the voice fell, the smile on his lips disappeared, and he became gloomy and cold again, “Be a little longer from the trial in the future. I hate the way he looks at you.”
The boy’s purple eyes flashed with a certain persistence and anger that made you a little uneasy.
You are no stranger to this look.
It is a deep and slight heat that males look at females with a strong desire for monopolization.
This child who looks like a child and does not know whether it is a demon **** or a saint child seems to treat you as his possession.
You bit your lip slightly uneasy and stepped back.
The boy was taken aback for a moment, his face was about to glow with dark anger, but a gentle and elegant male voice came in.
“May, welcome you here.”
You looked up and followed the sound. At the end of the corridor, you saw a young man in the Pope’s robe looking at you with a slight smile.
After he nodded to you, he looked at the boy who looked unhappy.
Xi’an met his gaze, her face became more ugly, but it didn’t happen, but she sneered disdainfully and turned away.
“No one else will bother us now.”
The young and elegant pope smiles at you.
“May, why don’t you feel surprised when you see me?”
You pursed your lips and sighed softly, “Master Hines, apart from you, I can’t think of anyone else who can replace the Son with the Demon God under the eyes of the gods.”
“What a clever boy.” Hines curled his lips and smiled. “What else do you know?”
“I never understood before, why you chose me.”
You murmured a little sadly: “Now I know, in fact, from the beginning, you regarded me as a sacrifice to the devil. My emotions, my memories, and my body have all become the nutrients for Xi’an’s growth. , Until the day when he is completely complete, it will be the moment I should die.”
The smile on Hines’ lips slowly disappeared. He watched you quietly, and then suddenly asked, “May, do you hate me?”
You startled, and then gently shook your head, “I can’t hate you. You gave me more than ten years of new life that should have been dead. I met a lot and was very friendly to me. Kind person, you taught me the path of a magician. It may be trivial to you, but in the time I spent with you, I felt very happy.”
Having said this, you took a breath, a smile spread across your face, and looked at him and said, “Thank you, Lord Hines.”
Hines’ expression was a little dazed, as if looking at other people through you.
“You and her… are really similar.”
“……she was?”
You are slightly taken aback.
“She is my wife.”
There was a soft smile on Hines’ face like a memory.
“Like you, she is also an overly gentle stupid. I don’t know what giving up is. She is always clumsy and unwilling to follow behind me. I can’t drive away. I have never seen such a rascal. Persistent girl.”
Although he said that, the smile on Hines’s face became more gentle, but with a trace of regretful sadness.
“I think… your wife must love you deeply.” You whispered.
Hines was stunned, his expression was a little confused and at a loss, “…Why do you say that?”
You bit your lip and said, “If a girl is willing to abandon her shame and dignity and keep chasing someone, apart from her own dream, there will only be people who like it very much but dare not say it.”
Hines was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said sarcastically: “It’s a pity that I don’t deserve her love. If I was too young and frivolous and offended a lot of people, she would not be embarrassed by me, by those selfish The vicious guy abandoned on the battlefield and fought alone until he died…”
At this point, Hines’ icy tone was stained with bitter hatred and pain.
Only then did you understand why Hines, who was the most promising candidate for the Pope, suddenly killed some of the elders of the Holy See and betrayed the Holy See. It turned out that his wife was killed by a colleague he had offended and lost her life. .
At the same time, you finally understand why Aleucus would tell you that Hines has been living in endless regret and guilt.
The guilt killed his wife for his own reasons.
Regret because he failed to arrive in time to save his lover.
“That’s why you want to awaken the devil and destroy the world?”
You can understand that his heart is ashamed because of the death of his beloved, only numb hatred is left to support his motivation to live, but you cannot involve other innocent people because of your own pain. You have already witnessed it with your own eyes. Too many deaths and partings did not want Hines to go completely astray.
It’s just that Hines’ answer is beyond your expectations.
“No, I haven’t thought about destroying this world. Rather, I actually want to save this world that is on the brink of collapse, because this is her last wish, and I will achieve it for her anyway.” Hynes slowly The way.
You opened your eyes wide, looking at him with some uncertainty and confusion.
“I know you are now wondering why I did it before, but if some cancers are not eradicated, the world will never be able to restore peace and freedom.”
Hines slowly approached you, and then waved the staff in his hand, and a projected illusion appeared in front of you.
A lot of pictures flashed in front of you.
War, slavery, hatred, despair…
Ambitious politicians and greedy power-holders took advantage of this disaster to launch countless wars and invasions, plundering wealth and fighting for territory under the banner of justice.
There were piles of bones, and blood flowed into rivers.
**More than dying.
“The existence of the Devil God is not the main reason for the disaster, but it is an excuse for their aggression/aggression. As long as the greed of the people of this continent is endless, the war will never stop, the day when everyone is equal It is impossible to come, and the demon gods who will suffer disasters and misfortunes will come back countless times.”
Hines’ soft sigh lingered in your ears, and slowly, you seemed to understand his approach a bit.
“Do you want to change the demon **** to stop the war?” You asked softly.
“No, you changed him.” Hines shook his head.
“……I?”
You blinked suspiciously.
Hines looked at you obscurely, “I thought this plan would fail, but I didn’t expect that you can really make him human. In fact, I have done it well. If this fails, I can only wait. Plans for the next time.”
In your confused eyes, Hines explained slowly: “I used a special forbidden technique to put the heart of the demon **** in your body, and temporarily sealed it at the cost of your soul and all emotions. When the demon **** wakes up, the seal will gradually devour your emotions and soul and feed it back to the demon **** deity. If the forbidden technique is successful, the demon **** will be able to possess humanity from now on, no longer a monster that only knows about killing and destruction. ”
“But the chance of success is actually very low. Only those who are approved and accepted by the Demon God have a one in ten thousand chance of being able to succeed…”
You met Hines with a complicated and unbearable look, and after a moment, you suddenly smiled, “That’s it, it seems that I am still useful.”
Then you asked, “Master Hines, if the plan is successful, will everyone be safe?”
Hines was taken aback, and said in a puzzled way: “Aren’t you afraid?”
“Naturally, I am afraid.” You pursed your lips, and a small smile appeared on your cheeks. “But knowing that my life can be exchanged for the lives of many people, including my cherished family and friends, I feel very It’s worth it.”
You are a timid and cowardly ordinary person. There is no great selfless ideal, but after seeing so many helpless tragedies, you don’t want your sister and Aleucus and Mr. Renault Garuch to repeat the same fate.
At the expense of one person, so many people can be saved.
Actually… it’s a good deal, right?
“Master Hines, can I make another small request?” You asked in a low voice, biting your lip.
Hines’ lips trembled, and finally his throat slid hard, and he nodded, “No matter what you ask for, I will try my best to do it for you.”
“Thank you.”
“If you can……”
