I Transmigrated To A Mafia Character From A BL Dark ! - Chapter 181
Bellini was strong and had weapons, but looking at Officer Chief Esposito’s calm he felt somehow inferior as if instinctively he knew that if he were to confront this man, there would only be one end, a painful death.
“An assistant is a man sent by Marquise Savoia, he is on our side” a voice that seemed to come from all over the room spoke before the deputy opened the door.
“Tell the Marquise that next time don’t send her garbage to my city,” Deputy Esposito said without looking back and opened the door.
Assassins: We tried to kill him before entering the city, okay?
The assassins were surprised by the presence of Officer Chief Esposito’s spirit, which means, who was he to speak of Marquise Savoia with such authority?
However, despite the Officer Chief’s disrespect, they did nothing and went to take care of Bishop Savoia’s body, they would receive a high reward for bringing the news and proof of the dead man bastard.
Father Bellini was relieved to learn that the Marquise of Savoy wanted the bishop dead, so he didn’t have to worry about her retaliation, at least initially. Now he had to worry about Officer Chief Esposito.
As early as 1675, Emery and Bryan exchanged somewhat strained glances, Bryan’s nature energy calmed down being held in check by Emery’s nature energy which was quite pure.
Bryan couldn’t understand how a human could obtain such pure energy from nature, as he was a priest of the God of Nature.
“Do you feel better?” Emery asked, seeing Bryan staring at him fixedly, which wasn’t very typical of the young black elf, as he seemed quite shy around anyone other than Mattias.
“Yes… I’m sorry” Bryan said looking away feeling his face heat up, he tried to get away from Emery but ended up hitting a piece of old furniture and falling, luckily, Emery was having his body improved with magic by training cousin managed to hold the elf’s body.
“Calm down, no need to be scared. I won’t eat you or anything like that” Emery said, releasing Bryan as he steadied himself, the young man’s body so rigid and tense he felt like wood as he was held by the bishop.
“I know you humans don’t eat elves in the literal sense!” Bryan said, still feeling more embarrassed and with some irritation.
“Oh well I won’t eat you figuratively either,” Emery said with the same serious face as usual, what was supposed to be funny quickly turned into something heavy.
Bryan stiffened for a moment and then only felt relief, of course, his mind was jumbled with chaotic thoughts about lies, betrayals, and what he would do if the bishop laid a hand on him, only to take a deep breath and try to control the rising of his anxiety.
But once he felt the energy of Emery’s nature flowing into him which made him much calmer, it was energy even purer than his own as it had an even more calming effect, he felt like at the time when was in the Temple of Nature, at the time he was filled with sadness at being alone and not knowing about his older brother, so he would go to a lake with a magnificent weeping willow tree and sit there to reflect.
In other words, he would be their mourning, and sometimes he felt something involving him like a fraternal hug that calmed him and made him go on living, anxiously awaiting the day when he could meet his older brother and leave the temple.
Bryan hadn’t felt so welcomed in a long time, he closed his eyes and hugged the human body that reminded him of that peaceful place, not even remembering the trauma, at that moment he wanted to grab that feeling of love and peace again.
With so much weight and painful feelings inside him, Bryan felt suffocated almost all the time, and he was vigilant against people for whatever reason, such a life is exhausting and difficult, like a soldier who has been swallowed by the waters and sees a piece of driftwood like a lifeline, so the black elf felt as he was engulfed by that warm sensation that brought infinite hope.
Emery was surprised by Bryan’s proactive attitude, but seeing the young black elf behaving like that, he also felt helpless to push him away.
The power of nature enveloped the two men, Bryan seemed to be getting enraptured with Emery’s power and rubbed his face on the human clothes, he lifted his head just to look at the face still maintaining his usual seriousness.
What was reassuring to Bryan, there was no dirty desire and no other emotion that could be disturbing for him.
“Do you feel better?” Emery asked, stroking Bryan’s pink hair, seeing him much calmer.
“A little” Bryan said with a sigh, the more he felt the energy of the human’s nature, the more he doubted if this person is still a human.
“Are you afraid of circuses?”
“Maybe,” Bryan said succinctly not letting Emery delve further into the matter, he wanted to avoid talking about it.
Emery understood what Bryan was saying, he also had things he preferred not to talk about, momentarily he remembered Azarphy who read his mind but only talked about food with him.
For some reason, it made Emery feel his heart a little warmer to know that the fallen archangel even though he could read his mind didn’t address those subjects he was anxious about.
“If you want to stay inside for a while, the circus should soon pass,” Emery said calmly, he didn’t care that Bryan didn’t want to talk about it.
Bryan was agitated for a moment, he really wanted to be alone for a bit, but at the same time, he looked around the house which was still desolate inside, and didn’t feel like being alone either.
“Do you want me to stay a little longer?”
Bryan grabbed Emery’s clothes in response, the two were silent for a while until Emery couldn’t take it anymore and resolved to ask a few things he was curious about.
“Bryan, can you show me your power of nature? How do you control power? Is it from the elves or do you have training?”
Bryan thought Emery was going to ask more personal questions, but the questions were so general that he felt a bit tricked, I mean there he was a priest of the Temple of Nature, apparently stuck with the group of humans and in a state of physical weakness. Except that the group of humans treated him kindly at all times, which made him have a more positive image of humans, while at the same time he was anxiously waiting to be betrayed or hurt.
“Elves are born with the power of nature, called the Emerald Core. Initially, parents or guardians teach us basic lessons, then we are sent to school, and then we choose professions according to our aptitude most of the time.”
“Oh, so you have systematic teaching?” Emery said with even more curiosity. The form of school he knew was modern and systematic, he found it interesting that the elves also had this type of system.
“Well, our empress instituted systematic teaching 200 years ago, when many elves caused serious mishaps with the power of nature. Before the elves only learned from the legal guardians what they could, if they were lucky, there would be a Master or a Sage around to take the children to be taught…”
Bryan told a little about the cult of the Elves that came to improve a lot with the rise of Empress Lovidc 400 years ago and then came a succession of empresses who strengthened the Elf Empire, of course, the most important figure was the Blackie Duke, who he was the leader of the nobles who represented the dark elves.
Most of the dark elves were located in the Blackie Duchy, which was a much more developed area than the empire’s capital itself, the Blackie Duke’s family supported the rise of empresses since Empress Lovidc.
“So the Nature Temple you came from is from the Blackie Duchy?”
“No, it’s Eden’s Temple of Nature… Well, it’s a secret place for outsiders” Bryan said, limiting himself to saying little about it since it was one of the elves’ secrets.
“What can you do with the power of nature besides healing?”
“Well, we can make vegetation grow, we can purify rivers and the land, we can use it to fight and rot matter…”
“Rot matter?”
“Well… Rotting is also part of nature, so we’re capable of infecting the enemy with fungi and or deadly bacteria that eat meat”
“That looks a little…”
“Disgusting?” Bryan said with a laugh, he also thought it was disgusting at first, but seeing his current situation, it would have been very helpful for him to run away sooner.
“No, I was going to say complex…but it’s gross too,” Emery said, feeling a little embarrassed. However, remembering diseases caused by fungi, he couldn’t help but agree that it was disgusting indeed.
And even a little cruel for the Elves to have that kind of attack.
