gems and stars

11

After having had enough quarrel with Ivner, Start hugged him and lay on his back on the bed and told about the conversation he had just had with Elijah.

According to Elijah, the sapphire that Starter first absorbed was obtained when the group of them went to the junction of the demon world and the human world a few months ago.Since the beginning of this year, the barrier between the two worlds has become thinner in several places for some reason, and the leakage of a few traces of magic energy has affected the nearby villages.And Elijah, Auden and others were preparing to check the specific situation at that time.

Originally, the Holy Son should stay in the central temple, but Elijah is an outlier among the previous Holy Sons. He must go to the outside world to see it. Satisfy my curiosity about new things. Looking at it this way, it is similar to Ivner.

It is rare for a hundred years for demonic energy to infiltrate the human world, so the other bishops in the central temple agreed to his request and sent the paladin of Oden along with him.

In a valley hundreds of kilometers away from the junction of the two realms, the group met a magic dragon.The demon dragon is aggressive, and the flames it spews are extremely fierce.After a fight, one party captured it. After Elijah cast a spell of light on it, the dragon's body disappeared, leaving only a transparent sapphire.

This is the piece that State later absorbed in Cotton Town.

Elijah could be said to have done everything he could to this gem at the time, but unfortunately he had no reaction.After confirming that there is no major danger at the junction of the human and devil realms, Elijah asked Oden to take the sapphire and stay nearby to try to restore the village.On the way home, Oden accidentally caught a cold (the number of times he has caught a cold is one of the few), so he chose the nearest branch hall in Caton Town for recuperation.

The first encounter between the two and the gem was really meant to be.

Now the two mainly rely on the faint attraction between State and the gemstone to determine their orientation.Starter's intuition was correct when he left the elf forest. Since entering the capital, he has felt the existence of gems, and the most likely place is the palace next to the temple.

"Ivna, I'm going to visit the palace tomorrow night." Start said lightly.Today he is running out of time to take human form.

Evner turned around upon hearing this, and stared at Starter's different pupils face to face without blinking.

Inexplicably, Start understood the meaning—I want to go too.

"It's dangerous there."

"Then let's not let Start go alone." Evner said with a puffy face.

"Be good, Evner, I'll be back soon."

But the other party shook his head happily: "No, no." As he spoke, he pressed his mouth to Start's.

Naturally, Starter would not refuse anyone, and the kiss made his eyes blur.

"Okay, I promise you." He held down the little master who was crawling into his arms like a kitten.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you bring Evner with you.

The black mage put his face against Start's strong chest and smiled softly. He knew that Starter liked this trick the most.

On the evening of the second day, both of them put on the tighter black clothes they bought from the street during the day.Start's slender figure became more obvious, which made Ivna envious.He still looks like a child who hasn't grown up yet.

Not so in State's eyes.Most of the clothes Ivner usually wears are looser. After wearing this style of clothing, Ivner's thin body makes people feel distressed, but the "bad" Ivner glances at his upturned buttocks from time to time.So I couldn't help but stepped forward and rubbed it a little.

Evner blushed, muttered, and finally said nothing.

As if nothing had happened, Start combed Ivna's long pale golden hair with a comb and tied it up.The pale golden hair is also very conspicuous in the dark night.Start took another black cloth and wrapped Ivna's hair meticulously, just like those women living in desert areas.

After finishing all this, Start nodded in satisfaction, took Ivna's hand and went to the palace.

It was the first time he had seen Starter's magic.Worthy of being the prince of the Demon Race.The two first flew in the night sky without any effort, and then landed silently in the garden of the palace.

Ivner, who stepped on the land, did not panic, but looked excited: "I used to fly only in my dreams."

Start was very proud, but said calmly: "You just learn magic well. I can teach you in the future."

Evner hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this time, the night sky is cloudless, the moon is bright and clear, and there is still a strong fragrance in the spring garden at night, which is thicker than the clearness of the day.In front of the two of them was a large field of roses in full bloom, shining brightly under the moonlight.

Start stepped forward and broke off one of the branches, and after removing the spikes with magic, handed it to Evner.

After Evner took it, he happily followed behind him, bypassing one corridor after another.

There are still soldiers patrolling regularly at night, and their bright figures are reflected on the ancient stone walls.But Start was always able to find a hiding place one step ahead of them, hold his breath, and not be found.The two came to a door smoothly.On both sides of this door, there is a statue of a hero holding a sword, which is carved so lifelike that it makes people feel like they are on the battlefield where the fighting sounds are everywhere.

Start cast a simple little magic, and the door opened silently to both sides.He took Evner's hand and walked inside.

Moonlight shines through the windows into the spacious house, illuminating the walls on both sides, which are covered with exquisite murals.Unlike the stories of the gods depicted in the Central Temple, here the stories of human heroes are told.Most of these heroes come from the royal family.Regardless of their own safety, they bravely fought against the evil, and were killed or wounded. Some of them were lucky enough to return triumphantly and live happily with their wives and children.

Evner watched the stories on the wall obsessively.Start walked straight to the end of the hall.The gem he seeks is in the deepest.

The innermost part is empty compared to the outside, with a pillar standing in the center, on which a crown is solemnly placed.Maybe the most beautiful gemstones in the world are concentrated here.Even though the moonlight here is weak, its light is still deeply shocking.

There is not even a protective glass cover around the crown.This is strange.

Start tentatively stepped forward to touch it, but was pushed back violently.There were not light scars on the white fingers.Evner hurried over to help him relieve the pain.

At this time, the soldiers' neat steps came from a distance outside the door, mixed with voices such as "this way" and "quick".It seems that they were discovered and had to choose to leave.

Start hugged Ivna tightly, glanced at a certain jewel in the crown, and jumped out from the window that had just been opened.After a while, it accelerated and flew to the sky first, and the black clothes quickly merged with the night.

The soldiers who arrived could only use their torches in vain to try to light the dark sky.Although there are many magicians with high magic power among the soldiers, flying without the help of wings and other foreign objects is not easy, and Starter flies too fast.I can only give up.

When he returned to the bedroom in the central sanctuary, Stat was still as calm as when he left, but Ivna was a little out of breath, and he was still tightly holding the rose flower that Stat had given him.Under the illumination of the indoor lights, the roses show a beautiful red color, as if a woman's red lips are full of temptation.

Seeing his precious appearance, Stuart couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth.After the two of them took a bath one after another, he tore off all the petals of the rose flower and sprinkled them on the bed under Ivna's astonished and pityful eyes.Seeing this, Evner thought of something, and his face turned red again.

State, on the other hand, lay on the pillow gracefully, and patted the other side of the bed: "Evna, come to sleep. I'm too tired tonight." He paused and said, "The flowers in the palace are Calming effect."

He took Ivna's body and whispered, "I will give you real roses in the future."

In the early morning of the next day, when Evner squinted his eyes, looked at the blue outside the window, and was about to fall back and continue to fall asleep with his head covered, he suddenly woke up—brother Elijah was standing in front of his bed.

"Brother." His voice was hoarse when he just woke up.

Elijah's face softened, and then became gloomy in the next second.Yesterday he was busy with the affairs of the temple, so he didn't have time to visit Ivna, but this morning he excitedly ran to wake his younger brother up, only to find that his cute and well-behaved younger brother was sleeping on the same bed with that annoying demon again. A few delicate rose petals fell on the floor, full of charming smell.

He knew the flower came from the palace at a glance.It is conceivable that what happened last night was caused by the Mozu people and his younger brother.It was so restless.He was a little angry, but he couldn't look at Ivana angrily, so he sat on the sofa silently, and after Ivana packed up, he dragged him to the restaurant.

Along the way, Ivna, who had not completely dissipated from his sleepiness, was talking ramblingly, most of which revolved around what happened last night, and finally he said pleadingly: "Brother, what can you do?"

This child is too simple.No wonder it is easy to be abducted by bad guys.

Elijah was thinking contradictoryly while immersed in the happiness that Ivner confides to him.
