Kapitel 251: 17
Unlike the previous years, the second church speech was arranged on the Nois Continent.
The Son of God was born on the Nois Continent, and this honor was enough for the Nois Continent to have a special status comparable to the Central Continent. In order to welcome the return of the Son of God, the Nois Continent's branch of the Holy See held a very grand ceremony. After the ceremony, the royal family even held a special banquet.
The banquet was held at Duke Alex's mansion.
Originally, after Gou Liang became the Son of God, the pope proposed to make Duke Alex a prince, but Alex refused. Duke Alex's actions had always been unpredictable, and the pope couldn't do anything about it. After asking for Gou Liang's opinion, the pope gave up on the proposal.
But even so, Alex's status was completely different from before. Perhaps in the past, some people were afraid of Alex's strength and privately criticized his lowly birth as a slave. Now, who would dare to have such thoughts?
Night fell, and the lanterns were lit.
The carriage stopped in front of the duke's mansion, and countless people waited on both sides to welcome the Son of God. He had a polite smile on his face, and didn't take the initiative to respond to anyone. His actions were full of the elegance and calmness of a noble.
Alex stood at the end of the red carpet and looked at Gou Liang, who was surrounded by stars. When their eyes met, Alex opened his arms to him, like a father welcoming a child who hadn't returned home for a long time. However, there was a certain provocation in his smiling eyes that only Gou Liang could understand.
Gou Liang looked up, and suddenly showed a polite smile that was different from the others. He smiled, and the neon lights in his eyes lost their color. Then, he quickly ran to Alex like a sunny youth and threw himself into his arms like a swallow returning to the forest.
Alex was stunned.
He instinctively hugged Gou Liang. He didn't know how many times he had done this when he was still his adopted son, Les, but this time, he was a little dazed. Even though he knew that the God of Light didn't have any good intentions, he still willingly let go of his vigilance and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
"Father?"
Gou Liang looked at him with a smile. His bright smile made him look like a carefree youth.
Alex came back to his senses and gave him an impeccably kind smile. In response to his intimate kiss, Alex kissed his forehead and said, "Welcome back."
The Son of God should be an untouchable noble. Even his biological father had a different status in front of him, but no one objected to Alex and Gou Liang's lack of manners. They all smiled and praised the kinship between His Highness the Holy Son and the Duke, congratulated Alex, and praised Gou Liang in various ways.
Their thoughts were clear at a glance. Everyone wanted to use the natural advantage of their hometown to establish a relationship with the Gou Liang. There was nothing shameful about this kind of fawning. It was only human nature.
However, the soul Les looked at all the compliments and praises. No one knew what he was thinking, but he was strangely quiet.
The System was used to his berserk body. Suddenly seeing him change his style, it was not used to it. It poked him and said, "Here, your white moonlight and cinnabar mole are here."
Baron Aldrich brought the sisters Anna and Annie over and smiled exaggeratedly, "Les, oh no, His Highness the Holy Son, I'm happy for you! Aiya, when you were attacked by dark magic, I was really scared for you. It's great that you obtained the God of Light's ring! "
His passionate gaze burned a hole in Gou Liang's body. That gaze was almost written on his face that he was looking at his son-in-law.
A certain prince who was interrupted was very dissatisfied, but he didn't feel anything. Fortunately, his daughter was a smart person and smiled to smooth things over, "Long time no see, His Highness the Holy Son. The classmates are all over there. They don't even dare to greet you now. Hehe, do you want to go over and take a look? "
Anna was more reserved and smiled, "Yes, Your Highness. Ghar and Blake are there too. Just now, the classmates were chasing them and asking about your adventures in the Battlefield of God's Fall."
Obviously, she was smarter than her passionate and lively sister.
Gou Liang was obviously moved by her words, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Alex with an obedient expression.
Alex patted his head and smiled, "Go, but remember not to drink too much."
"I know, Father."
Saying this, he smiled and nodded at Aldrich, then politely asked the ladies to go first.
When they were just a few steps away, the sisters Anna and Annie told Gou Liang about the recent situations of the two of them, Ghar and Blake, and other people who were close to Gou Liang after graduation. One was quiet, one was active, just right, but they spared no effort to show off their beauty.
Their intentions couldn't be more obvious.
When Gou Liang became the Holy Son of the Vatican, the disparity in status no longer made them dream of marrying Gou Liang, but they still tried to maintain an ambiguous relationship with Gou Liang. They wouldn't even refuse some kind of physical transaction.
Soul Les: Humph, that's all.
His expression was disgusted, and Gou Liang keenly noticed something strange. He sipped his champagne and slipped back into his mindspace to look at him curiously, "Who are you comparing them to?"
Soul Les: … What does it have to do with you?!!
His hair stood on end without any warning. His guilty conscience revealed everything he was hiding.
Even though Gou Liang knew that his soul came from the consciousness of a sleeping Main God in a certain world, he couldn't help but look straight at him, saying faintly, "As long as it's not Alex, do whatever you want."
Soul Les exploded on the spot, "How is that possible!! That devil, damn devil, why isn't he dead yet!!! "
Gou Liang raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully, "It can't be me, right?"
Soul Les felt like he was being strangled. After a moment of choking, he roared even more hysterically, "What kind of joke are you talking about!! Devil, a devil as abominable as Alex! When are you going to give me back my body, bastard!!! "
Gou Liang laughed, pinched his face and said, "If you love me, just say it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Soul Les: Narcissist, psycho! Who would like a devil like you?
"Les?"
Anna's call made Gou Liang come back to his senses. Ghar had already walked to his side and looked in the direction he was looking at just now. He suddenly said with disappointment, "You're smiling so brightly. I thought you had a target … You really can't leave your father's good baby."
His line of sight happened to fall on Alex.
Gou Liang raised his eyebrows, clinked his glass with Ghar's, and said slowly, "Do you think there's anyone here who's more worth looking at than my father?"
"Pfft."
Ghar, who was drinking champagne, choked. He looked at Alex and felt that Gou Liang's words made sense. He lowered his voice and whispered in Gou Liang's ear, "You don't say, His Excellency the Duke's appearance is too attractive. Look, that lady just now, according to my observation, is the thirteenth woman who almost fell into your father's arms after His Excellency the Duke's appearance."
Gou Liang looked at the woman who fell into Baron Aldrich's arms after Alex dodged. He slightly frowned, then squinted his eyes and smiled at Ghar, "You're quite observant."
Ghar: "… …"
Tell me that this chilly feeling must be an illusion. TvT.
Ghar saw with his own eyes the ambiguous relationship between Gou Liang and his adoptive father in the God Fall Castle. Although he didn't dare to think too much about it, he knew that Gou Liang wanted to monopolize Alex, so he changed the topic and called out to Blake, "Blake, why are you standing there like an idiot? Come over here."
Blake walked over slowly like a shy little girl, not even daring to look directly at Gou Liang. Ghar heartlessly teased, "My dear Prince Les, did you know that this guy actually went to participate in the Knight Selection of the Central Church, and the result … Mmph!"
Blake took a step forward and fiercely grabbed Ghar's mouth, giving him a murderous look. He looked at Gou Liang with a red face and quickly lowered his head, "Young master."
"Blake, long time no see."
Gou Liang took the initiative to touch his glass. Blake scratched his head and quickly drank the wine in his hand.
Ghar snorted, "Look at your cowardly face. You can only act tough in front of me."
Saying this, he winked at Gou Liang and said quickly, "Guess what? He was rejected in the first round of the physical examination! Haha, there was a difference of 0.5 centimeters in height. He was rejected because he was too short. This is too … Ow! "
"Shut up! Shut up! "
Blake grabbed Ghar's hand and twisted it behind his back. With a livid face, he exerted a bit of force, and only when Ghar begged for mercy did he let go.
The two had fought side by side in the God Fall Battlefield for more than a month, and their relationship had improved greatly. Although Gou Liang didn't pay attention to their situation, he could tell at a glance that Ghar and Blake were only one step away from becoming great sorcerers. Also, Blake, who was originally at a disadvantage, had actually surpassed Ghar in cultivation.
It was obvious that they had gained a lot in the God Fall Battlefield.
Meeting Gou Liang's warm and smiling eyes, Blake quickly lowered his head. After a moment of helplessness, he said unwillingly, "… I can still grow taller."
Gou Liang finally couldn't hold back his laughter. He patted Blake's shoulder and said approvingly, "Yes, you're still young."
Ghar was so happy that he was hugging his stomach. Gou Liang saw that Blake was having a hard time holding back his murderous aura, so he considerately helped him out. "What are your plans now? What are you going to do after graduation? "
Before Blake, who was like a little wife, could organize his words, Ghar had already put his hand on Blake's shoulder and answered Gou Liang, "We've joined a mercenary group and will leave tomorrow. When we come back, we'll be magi if we can't make it. Blake has also grown taller, so you have to leave a spot for us in your knight group."
"My pleasure."
Gou Liang smiled and agreed.
Blake straightened his back and said seriously, "Young master, I'll definitely work hard."
Annie, who couldn't find a chance to interject, smiled and said, "I'm so envious of you, Your Highness Les. Does your knight group accept ladies?"
She blinked her beautiful eyes. "Can my sister and I apply for a spot?"
Gou Liang smiled. "How can a lady be troubled by fighting and killing …" He was about to decline when he suddenly heard a scream.
The few of them looked over and saw that the woman who had fallen into Baron Aldrich's arms and clung onto him had her hand pierced through Aldrich's chest!
"Ah!!"
"Father!"
Annie fainted on the ground after a short scream. Anna took two steps forward in horror and stopped abruptly. She then helped the unconscious Annie up and called for her father in horror. She didn't have the courage to go forward at all.
Ghar, who was about to help Annie up, retracted his hand. He glanced at the pale Anna and his eyes flashed.
It happened so suddenly that no one expected it. The two magi closest to Aldrich immediately attacked the woman.
"Something's not right. Stop!"
An old voice tried to stop the two young guests, but it was too late. The woman, who had her back facing the two young men, didn't dodge. The magic attacks were like clay oxen entering the sea. They didn't affect her at all. But in the next moment, something terrible happened.
The two young men suddenly convulsed and couldn't make a sound. They were like dried corpses that had been sucked dry. They fell to the ground lifelessly, their bodies shriveled up and their eyes popped out. They died in a horrible way.
Ghar subconsciously dragged Gou Liang and Blake back two steps. He said softly with a pale face, "It was my grandfather who spoke. Don't do anything."
His grandfather was the only grand magus on the Nois Continent other than Alex. He was recognized as the most powerful person here. His words were authoritative.
"Dark Curse!"
"Ah! Her eyes! "
"Back off, don't do anything! This isn't a normal Dark Curse! "
After the brief chaos, the crowd was controlled immediately. The sorcerers and nobles who valued their lives stayed away from Aldrich and the woman who attacked them for no reason. They looked at the woman with fear and vigilance, fearing that she would attack them next.
At this time, Ghar's grandfather's voice sounded again. "It's the Blood Curse. Be careful, everyone. Don't attack and don't touch her. Anyone who touches the caster or the cursed will have their heart dug out. Anyone who attacks her will also be cursed, just like those two young men! "
His tone was heavy. The woman looked at him and withdrew her hand with a sweet smile. Baron Aldrich fell to the ground with a look of horror on his face.
The woman's eyes were emitting black mist. It looked very strange. She was holding a heart in her hand. After a few violent beats, it turned into a useless lump of bloody flesh. The woman clenched her fingers and crushed the heart in her hand. A little bit of flesh stained her heavily made-up face. It was a horrifying sight.
The woman was still smiling. Her eyes, which had lost their original color, glanced back and forth in the crowd without focus, as if she was looking for the next target. It was a chilling scene.
Someone recognized Ghar's grandfather and asked in horror, "Duke Pryce, what should we do now?"
Duke Pryce also felt troubled. He had never seen anyone use this kind of Dark Curse in his life. He had only seen a few records about the Blood Curse in books. He could not attack her or touch her, so he had no idea how to deal with her.
He frowned and said in a low voice, "This woman seems to be the cursed one. The caster must be in this hall. Since he didn't show up, he must have some purpose."
The woman licked her bloody hand attentively. She did not do anything else, which confirmed Duke Pryce's guess.
It was clear that this woman was just as unlucky as Baron Aldrich. The person who chose to make a move on this occasion was either Duke Alex or His Highness the Holy Son who had just returned from the Central Church. The Dark Magician didn't need a reason to make a move on Gou Liang.
Everyone understood. A young man who was indignant cursed, "The Dark Sorcerer is too arrogant! Damn it! "
The Light Sorcerer who accompanied the Central Church to the banquet had already started casting spells with his hands to check if any Dark Sorcerer had sneaked into the banquet.
[Master, Master!!]
[Have you found out who did this? Why are you so scared?]
[Blind spot, the caster is the blind spot! Ahhh! See for yourself!!]
Gou Liang was confused by the System's incoherent words. He was also shocked when he looked at the System's monitor.
There was a blind spot in a hidden corner of the banquet hall!
Gou Liang subconsciously looked in the direction of Alex. In the System's monitor, Alex also had a blind spot. It was only a little bigger than the unknown person in the corner.
Feeling his gaze, Alex, who had been calm and collected since the incident, put down the wine glass in his hand and stretched out his hand to Gou Liang, "Les, come to Dad."
Gou Liang walked over. Alex held him in his arms, stroked his hair and asked in a gentle tone, "Scared?"
However, the way he looked at Gou Liang was a completely different matter.
-Such a low level Dark Magic spell, and you can actually associate it with me, hm?
Gou Liang knew that he had misunderstood. He looked at him with suspicion. He held his waist and shook his head.
-I was just surprised that someone would use Dark Magic in front of you.
-I also admire this idiot's courage.
Alex's eyes seemed to glance at a corner. It was the location of the blind spot in the System's monitor. Sure enough, no Dark Magic attack could escape his eyes. But looking at his indifferent expression, it was clear that he didn't know that the caster had an unfathomable relationship with him.
What, what is this thing?
[Xiao Si, did you report it to the System? What did it say —]
Without waiting for Gou Liang to get an explanation from the System, the woman who was far away from everyone suddenly moved.
Seeing the woman raise the hand that crushed Baron Aldrich's heart, everyone was shocked. But the woman still stood in the same place. A few wisps of black mist emerged from her palm and rose into the air to form a mirror-like circle.
Most people in the hall could recognize that this was a kind of magic that was played in the video.
Sure enough, the black mist immediately began to play a video.
As soon as the main character appeared, Gou Liang's eyebrows moved. The cold and undisciplined Alex stood up trembling. His sharp eyes immediately looked at the corner. A wisp of inconspicuous black mist dissipated.
"Your Excellency Dark God, he escaped under your nose. That's really praiseworthy."
Gou Liang leaned against Alex and said with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Alex also smiled, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold. "Indeed, it's interesting."
Everyone watching the video played by the woman couldn't help but look back and forth between the video and Gou Liang. The video that was being played quickly was none other than the scene where Gou Liang changed Alex's body and the scene where Jetton died.
The video wasn't complete. It was a few scenes that were restored by someone using Time Reversal magic in the bedroom where the spell was cast. But it was enough to tell some facts —
The black-haired and black-eyed Gou Liang was casting a Dark Forbidden Spell.
Duke Alex, whose body was almost rotten, and another young body that belonged to his son, Jetton, on the bed.
"Jetton," who suddenly matured a lot, sat up from the altar.
The moment the video froze, the cursed woman completed her task. In an instant, she turned into a dry corpse without any water, like the two young people before her. She fell to the ground, but the hall was still silent.
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at the blond Gou Liang and the young and handsome Duke Alex who were hugging each other in the hall. They only felt a chill from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. The people who were standing close to the two of them stepped back in horror.
Until Duke Ripp broke the silence with difficulty.
"Your Royal Highness, Duke Alex, this … what's going on?"
