Chapter 2: The Hand of the Son
I stopped outside a quiet and elegant but sun-drenched retreat in the Imperial Palace, and the twelve golden-clothed cardinals who guarded the retreat nodded to me, but they did not speak as if they were dumb. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I was about to be inquired when I heard the calming voice of St. Befaia in the room, but it was still staccato...... This sect is in poor health and can't greet it in person, I hope you will forgive me! ”
The twelve golden-clad cardinals silently made way for me to open a path to the small door of the house, but I observed that as the crowd moved, the magic elements around me fluctuated abnormally - these cardinals had at least the strength of a magister!
I finally understand why there are no Papal Knights here! Because the Pope lives in the Imperial Palace, and is himself closely protected by the Praetorian Guard, there is no need to worry about a large-scale attack, and even if a small group of men can escape the defenses and break in, they will not be able to break through the Golden Cardinal Sect - and I am afraid that no one would dare to attack the Pope at the risk of offending the people of the world and the fierce retribution of the 100,000 Holy See legions, right?
I walked through the passage that everyone had left behind, walked to the front of the ashram, pushed open the hidden door, and entered the room, only to see two figures sitting on the ground in the center of the unfurnished space.
One of them was St. Befaia III, the Pope of the Gods, and the other was a golden-clad cardinal.
At this time, Saint Befaia's elegant and beautiful face flushed slightly, and the golden-clothed cardinal's sweaty face was extremely haggard, bursts of steam were still rising from his body, and there were still unfinished light magic elements around him, it seemed that he had just transmitted magic power to the Pope, and his spiritual power and magic power were extremely consumed.
"Thank you, Cardinal Rudy! Please leave for a while, I have something to say to the Imperial Lord. Saint Befaia stood up and gave a command to the golden-robed cardinal.
"Yes, His Majesty!" Grand Cardinal Rudy knelt down, bowed silently to me, and then gently withdrew.
"Alexander the Great, Lord of the New Pharadis Empire, we have finally officially met!"
In the pure, clear sunlight, Saint Befaia's broad moon-silver robe crumpled and undulated like a flutter in the wind, and pulsing light streamed down her blue-silver hair, weaving a rainbow around her robe and dancing like ribbons...... If there is a ripple of a smile on the face of the angelic saint and feminine, in that smile seems to contain all the most beautiful pictures in the world; The deep blue pupils as vast as the sky shone with the brilliance of wisdom -- in those pupils, there seemed to contain thoughts as deep as the universe.
St. Befaia stood there at will, and heaven and earth became the most distant existence...... She didn't need to declare a miracle, it would be for her, as if with the slightest push of her finger, all oracles would collapse like rows of bones; She doesn't have to show greatness, all the greatest things collapse before her, like sand filtered without leaving a trace.
She just stops by your side so casually, and she can bring you into the meditation of hundreds of billions of years: a thousand years of longing, where the wanderer finds a quiet and comfortable embrace; The eternal reincarnation, where the soul is guided and purified by the Holy Wisdom - the Pope of the Gods, a woman born for love, who dedicates the most selfless and vast love to all living beings......
In front of her, I finally realized my insignificance, reduced to a lonely life, like a baby longing to return to my mother's arms...... St. Befaia, what a miraculous woman! The gods of heaven are nothing more than that!
When I came to my senses, I knew how to salute her and said: "Greetings to His Excellency the Pope, Alex! But why did the Pope summon me urgently? ”
"I knew that the Emperor was going to meet with Marshal Tsykov and try to settle the dispute peacefully, and I thought—perhaps this sect can do ......a little bit in this regard," said St. Bessia, as he held out his hands to me, as he said gently and kindly.
"If His Excellency the Pope is willing to come forward, I am grateful!" I said happily, and naturally held the pair of delicate and warm Rouyi, a warm and soft energy penetrated into my body through the palm of my hand, wandering between the meridians and the five internal organs of my body, and the "magic sword fighting qi" and magic energy in my body did not produce any resistance, and I accepted this additional energy very happily and calmly.
A look of surprise flashed on Saint Bécia's face and said, "The emperor also belongs to the constitution of the Heavenly Destiny!" However, it seems that there was once a magician who had reached the god level and used his powerful magic power to forcibly change your veins, reconnect the meridians that were on the verge of collapse, and strengthen and broaden your nine main veins, so that you could obtain a strange demonic martial physique. What an amazing human body alteration project! However, the great magician paid a great sacrifice! ”
This time it was my turn to say in amazement: "The Pope is really a man of God!" Just a simple temptation of energy can be seen as if you were witnessing it! Yes, the Foremaster used his life to accomplish my life! ”
"Is the teacher in the Emperor's mouth His Excellency Ostur St. Pian?" St. Bésia asked in a solemn voice.
"Yes, it's his old man......" I said a little gloomily, "without the teacher, there would be no Alex today...... Your Excellency, please call me 'Alex', for I dare not be called the Emperor. ”
"Then you can also call me by my real name, 'Esafnia', and you can also be exempted from the title of 'Your Excellency the Pope'." Esafnia Santa Bécia said with a smile.
Although it was only the first time we had spoken, I had already developed a feeling of longing for Esafnia, and said very sincerely, "Maybe I can help you with the teacher's way of saving me......"
Esafnia shook her head and replied, "It's too late, I'm beyond the age of treatment...... You were lucky to meet the strongest magician in humanity at a young age, but I can't be that lucky......"
God is jealous...... I sighed deeply in my heart, and couldn't help but rush out excitedly: "Maybe there is another way!" I can transcend fate, and so can you! Let me think about it, I'm sure I'll find a way! Let's make another bet with fate! ”
Esafnia smiled open-mindedly: "It doesn't matter how long or short life is, life and death are just a form of energy transformation...... I don't want to live longer, but for me, it's enough to be able to grasp every moment of existence, enjoy a happy and valuable life, and live for the good things in this world......"
"But I still want to do my best for your life, because I can't help but selfishly think that the more you live, the more beautiful scenery there will be in this world."
"Actually, there is a way for me to continue to live, but I want you and me to ...... No way! This method will definitely not work! ”
Speaking of this, Esafniya seemed to have encountered an embarrassing topic, and she wanted to stop talking, and her beautiful face turned red for no reason, but it made Esafniya, who was like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world and was endowed with incomparable holy brilliance by religious theocracy, have a more feminine and charming color, which made me feel uneasy.
"If there's a way, why not give it a try?" I asked, puzzled.
"Alex, please don't continue this topic, okay? I have an unspeakable ......"
Esafnia said in embarrassment, and changed the topic, her expression became extremely serious and continued: "Earlier, I used the magic power of holy light to probe your meridians, and found that there are nine energy cores in your body, which are lurking in the nine meridians - this is a very magical energy, which can convert magic elements and fighting qi at will, and it is so powerful that it is beyond human imagination, in terms of the attributes of the nine energy cores, they are wind, earth, water, fire, light, darkness, and nothing, and the other three attributes cannot be measured...... If my guess is correct, you have obtained these energy cores in a unique way of cultivation, for example, directly entering a pure and single energy force field or space, forcibly incorporating external forces into the body to gather into energy cores, and producing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion in the body, becoming an endless force...... The only thing that is very worrying is that the current nine energy cores mainly rely on each other's constraints to achieve a relative balance, but this balance is not absolutely stable, if once a certain force is dominant, this fragile balance will be broken, and all kinds of energy will no longer be under your control and will run around in your body like a wild horse, and the consequences will be unimaginable - for example, it will evolve into an energy storm, when your spirit and body will not be able to withstand this huge energy and will be destroyed. And the more severe consequence is the formation of an absolute black hole in your body, which will not only swallow your life, but also completely swallow everything in this world, including the three worlds of gods, humans, and demons......"
I nodded and said, "It's not a secret, as you guessed - within a year of cultivating in the Lost Forest, I entered six single energy spaces to practice magic through the six spatial doors opened by the teacher for decades, and the teacher's original intention was just to let me get a purer magical attribute experience in the absolute space of different energy attributes, so as to better establish a spiritual connection with the magic element, but after I entered the first wind space, there was a change, Nearly drowned in the vast turbulence of wind energy...... At that time, I made a desperate bet to release all the valves in my body, so that all the energy entered the meridians in my body together, and at the same time, with my own aesthetic magic theory and the physical principles of the primeval era, I used my spiritual power to condense all the wind elements entering the body into an elemental core - because I actually incorporated all the energy of the wind space into my body at once, artificially created an energy vacuum, resulting in an imbalance in space, and the gate of time and space was confused, and I was also sucked into another energy space, It is forced to repeatedly carry out energy aggregation and fusion and fission of energy nuclei...... When I turned all the energy of the six dimensions into the energy cores in my body, I was unexpectedly brought into a new dimension of three unknown that I had unintentionally created...... It was only after the nine energy cores that I had formed in my body that I was able to return to this world...... To this day, I think about it, that is really a kind of audacity, if there is a slight deviation, the energy of any space is enough to make me die once......"
"What an incredible cultivation method...... I'm afraid you're the only one who has learned magic this way since the dawn of time...... No wonder you have three magical cores in your body that don't belong to our world...... In fact, the energy of any magic core is enough to make you a supernatural powerhouse, let alone gods, even if the gods, humans, and demons join forces, it is not enough to resist the power of a space...... And you have nine kinds of power that are equally powerful...... But it is precisely because of the restriction of the nine energy cores that you can only exert less than one ten-thousandth of your energy, and even so, you already have the strength to surpass the God King...... It's just that the energy core itself is extremely unstable and uncontrollable, so the actual strength you can exert is greatly reduced, so it is difficult to use it to the fullest - because it is really a crazy power that can destroy others as well as yourself! Esafnia sighed.
"Yes, if I only have one of these powers, I'm strong enough! Unfortunately, I have nine ...... at the same time Now the body seems to be a huge fire storehouse, as long as you accidentally ignite the medicine lead, you will immediately blow yourself up to ashes...... It's like a person who suddenly has more wealth than he can afford, and because he is too rich, he becomes poor......" I nodded.
"Have you ever thought of a solution? Or do you want to transform or eliminate the nine magic cores in your body in some form? Esafnia asked with concern.
I replied with a wry smile, "If it worked, I would have tried it a long time ago - why not?" ”
"That's ......," said Esafnia after a moment's thought, "can you explain to me your theory of magical aesthetics?" Let me take a closer look at it for you, and maybe I can start with your unique magic, and find a way to break through from some angles and levels that you have overlooked. ”
I knew that Ishavnia was a strange woman of great intellect, so I did not hesitate to explain to her in detail the principles of magical aesthetics and the equation of beauty.
I was amazed by the unusually attentive way in which Esafnia listened to my explanations and explanations, interjecting one or two questions at the right time, and being able to draw inferences from them.
We sat next to each other, holding hands, and we had a great conversation with each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Although we had only spoken for the first time, we were as familiar as if we had known each other for many years - a contact that would seem extremely intimate to others, but we took it for granted, and did not feel the slightest unnatural or unusual, and we did not pay attention to the relationship between man and woman, but only a simple mind and pure feelings. That feeling is closer to returning to the two little guesses, the youthful and pure color mood of the childhood sweetheart.
After I finished speaking, Ishafnia lowered her head and muttered for a long time before she raised her head and said, "According to your current situation, when you need to condense magic power or exert sword fighting qi to perform magic, it mainly comes from external energy, and the body is actually used to a very small part - the reason why this part of the energy in the body can be done for you is mainly relative to the powerful power of the magic core, it is only a part of the energy that is so weak that it can be ignored, and it will not affect the balance of the core. But judging by the magical energy of our human magicians, this tiny part is actually unimaginably powerful! Moreover, you can also combine this part of the magical energy with the magical elements absorbed by the outside world to exert at least twice the strength, and derive the external form of aesthetic magic and aesthetic sword skills...... In other words, when you use the equation of beauty to rearrange and combine magic factors and energy molecules, you are actually only starting from external energy, and do not really involve the nine magic cores in the body. Why don't you just do a molecular reorganization of the nine magic cores? Wouldn't it be possible to turn them into their own energy all at once? ”
I exclaimed, "Isaphnia, I have to admire your intelligence completely!" It's easy to reveal the essence of my magic and sword skills! Yes, I have thought deeply about the question you mentioned, but in the end I have to give up in vain...... Because the energy of the nine-core is too terrible for me to control, so trying to reorganize it will only ignite the fire*...... If I only have one core, I may be able to give it a try, but with nine cores, I can't do anything about it......"
"This is indeed a great problem...... "Let me think about you again...... Maybe I'm going to spend some more time in the imperial capital......"
I knew that the longer Esaponia left the Temple of Zeus, the worse her physical condition became, and I couldn't help but be moved and said, "This will put your life at risk!" Let me figure it out for myself! I don't want you to have an unforeseen crisis for my business, and I'll be guilty for the rest of my life! Because of my selfishness, I have let a young and beautiful life go away from me...... I will never allow this to happen again! You are the spiritual pillar of your religion and the masses of the Church - there must be no surprise! ”
Esafnia also showed a slightly moved look on her face, but said softly, "It's okay...... As the supreme king of the empire, you have this kind of sensual feelings and pure sincerity, which is really a priceless treasure in the world...... You are the only human being who has been expected to challenge the gods for thousands of years, and in you carries the hope of all mankind and the lifeblood of the rise and fall of our religion...... So I hope to do my part for you, and this is also for the future of mankind and the tomorrow I teach......"
"Then, please put your own safety first!" I knew that it would be hypocritical to dismiss Esafnia's kindness, so I said solemnly.
In the pleasant conversation with Elsafnia, I didn't realize that time had flown by, and it was dusk, and I knew that there was no more excuse left, so I stood up and said goodbye to her: "Well, I will take my leave...... I'll let you know when I have a meeting with Tsikov! ”
"Emperor, please go back! Esafnia didn't send it...... I hope to talk to you again next time! Esafnia said with a faint smile, and the slender jade hands were withdrawn from my palms.
When the warm touch in the palm of my hand gently slid away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in my heart, and for a moment I was very attached to the feeling when I held Esaf Niya's soft hair, so I had to shake my head violently, trying to shake off the feeling of emptiness in my heart, and then said "goodbye" and strode away.
When I noticed the heat that was still there when the beautiful bright eyes behind me were looking at my back, I suddenly realized that I could no longer be free......

When I returned to Huang'e's Flying Dragon Dormitory, Binglan had been guarding for a long time, and when she saw me returning, she happily took my hands and led me into the house, and after entering the inner hall, she asked with concern, "Are things still going well?" ”
I smiled and looked at my beloved wife, who was already a queen but was still dressed in simple clothes and as elegant as an orchid, and replied, "Xiao Yezi has already agreed to my request, and even the Pope of the Gods has agreed to come forward." ”
Bing Lan didn't continue to ask, but said with a smile: "The Gods and Goddesses are very beautiful, right?" ”
I hugged her into my arms and deliberately said, "Will Binglan also be jealous?" My 'Ice Maiden God of War' doesn't look like someone who cares if another woman is beautiful or not! Are you worried that your husband won't be able to control his heart? ”
Binglan put her head in my arms and said with a little resentment: "I'm also a woman, of course I'll be jealous...... And what a house flower is more wonderful than a wildflower! ”
I flicked her nose with my finger and said, "You're probably the first person to describe the Pope of the Gods as a wild flower!" ”
"Binglan doesn't dare...... Binglan just thinks that when His Majesty stays in the flowers, he should not forget that his wives in his own family are also flowers waiting to be moistened! ”
I turned Binglan's face, looked at the expression on her face and said, "Binglan, are you really angry?" ”
But seeing Li Binglan, whose face was covered with thin frost, said with a little resentment: "I'm angry!" And by wildflowers I don't mean His Excellency the Pope – do you know who came to you in the afternoon? ”
"Who?" The person Bing Lan said solemnly was definitely not the ministers and generals she usually came and went, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"It's your wildflowers out there!" Binglan had an angry expression on her face, "Do you remember once saving a brother and sister in the market?" That sister is called Winnie, and she is very beautiful! She said she was looking for her Alecira! Husband, I don't blame you for messing around outside, and it's up to you if you want to take a concubine and marry a wife, but you have to explain to Binglan, Liuli, and Vivian first, and ask for our opinion, right? Anyway, we're your legal wives too, right?! ”
"Ah...... Winnie! I hurriedly argued, "Binglan! My wife-sama! Wronged! Winnie and I really don't have anything! I was just in the market for a while, and we haven't seen each other since! ”
"You still dare to say that you are wronged!" Binglan scolded, "That woman named Winnie came to you with a big belly in the afternoon! She said she already has your baby in her belly, and she wants you to be responsible! Do you still dare to deny it? ”
"It's really none of my business! I swear! I said nervously.
"Oh... Am I wrong about you? Binglan said in a long voice, maintaining an annoyed expression on her face.
I nodded my head in a hurry.
"Then ......" Binglan suddenly smiled and said, "For the sake of your confession, I will believe you once!" ”
I came to my senses, looked at Binglan who was trembling with laughter, and said with annoyance: "Binglan, you lied to me!" ”
"Clever!" Bing Lange Gege laughed.
I angrily tickled her under her duress, and even more punitively reached out to attack her sensitive parts, making her beg for mercy again and again before saying, "Let's see if you dare to do anything wrong in the future!" ”
"Alec-kun, I don't dare...... Binglan said with a quick breath, "However, the matter of Winnie coming to you in the afternoon is really ......"
I withdrew my hand from the siege and asked strangely, "Is there anything wrong with her coming to me?" ”
Binglan adjusted her breathing and explained to me what had happened--
It turned out that Winnie's family was originally a farmer on the outskirts of Proust and had been keeping to themselves, but the big landlord at that time, the imperial viscount Fagas, who owned a large estate in the southern suburbs, took a fancy to their family's fertile fields, so he forged the title deed and forcibly occupied their family's land, and used power to expel them. When Winnie learned that Viscount Fagas had been punished for his involvement in a coup d'état and that his family property and land had been confiscated, she went to the Imperial Palace to ask for a face, hoping to get back the land occupied by Fagas. But it happened that I was not in the palace, so Li Binglan met her on my behalf, and after asking about the situation, I instructed Cal Anji, who was a guest in the imperial palace at the time, to deal with it.
"You know what? Carl's gaze at Winnie was eager—the first time a man meets a woman he likes, and it was the first time I've seen that look of affection in Carl, so I pushed her over and gave her to him. You don't blame me for pushing such a beautiful little girl to someone else, do you? Binglan said in a low voice in her arms.
"Of course I don't blame you! Carl was able to find the love of his heart, and I was too late to rejoice! I smiled and said, "Besides, I don't think badly about Winnie, she and Carl are also very compatible, and I am very happy that Binglan can do a good thing for them!" ”
"Then I'm relieved...... I'm afraid you'll be upset! At that time, I knew that you should not have any special meaning for that little girl - if you were interested in her, according to your character, you would have already taken her into the palace, so you dared to make your own decisions...... But I'm still afraid you'll be angry. Binglan sighed and said.
"But I'm really angry!" My expression suddenly became serious and said, "You have made me worry for so long, how can you compensate me!" ”
After speaking, he reached into Binglan's clothes to explore the incomparably gorgeous spring.
Binglan pressed my hand that continued to go deeper, and said coquettishly, "Good husband...... I have something to tell you! Did you know that Vivien and Ruri knew that you were worried about you after you decided to go out of the city and go deep into the enemy line to meet with Marshal Tsykov? They're hiding in the room now and they're really mad at you! ”
I suddenly picked up Binglan's delicate body, and laughed while walking towards the bedroom: "Then let my husband comfort your beloved wives!" Binglan, don't you blame me for not moisturizing the delicate flowers at home? I'll be all over you in no time! ”
After pushing the door and entering the room, I opened the prelude to Alexander the Great's conquest of the sea of love amid the exclamations of Vivien and Liuli......
The clothes of Binglan, Vivien, and Liuli were peeled away layer by layer by my lustful hands like petals, revealing the delicate stamens inside—and the three most beautiful carcasses like masterpieces of heaven were presented to me without reservation......
As my fingers gently slid over the delicate and creamy skin of the three women, a carcass trembled slightly with the movement, and blinked blushes, and a string of heart-wrenching moans gently spit out from their moist little mouths, which was ecstatic and self-contained—I finally couldn't help but gallop into the boundless*......
When I opened three times and sent the three women who also loved me to the peak of joy, the faces of the three women also showed three different expressions—Binglan's face was a little sweaty, like a dewy orchid, her eyes were shyly closed, and her silver teeth bit her red lower lip, trying to restrain the cries of satisfaction and pleasure; Vivian's nose was slightly open, but in her moist eyes, there was love and infinite love; Liuli's eyes were like silk, and she opened her little mouth and gasped fiercely, and called my name like a cry......
I lay weary and lazily beside them, my hands still playing with the buds blooming on their chests back and forth, and a feeling of happiness filled my body and mind.
Vivian gently stroked my chest with her jade hand and asked with concern, "Alec, are you really going out of the city to meet with Marshal Qi?" ”
I nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I'll be fine......"
"Why do you have to do something dangerous? Can't you invite Tsykov into the city for an interview? You always do what you want to do, and you don't care about other people's feelings......" Ruri said quietly, leaning her face against my wide back.
"Ruri, I'm sorry for worrying you...... But only in this way can I express my determination and sincerity to Qi Shuai...... And Qi Shuai is a respected general, he will not take despicable and unnamed means. Trust me, I won't take the risk lightly! I clasped Ruri's hands around my chest and whispered.
"Alex, shall we come with you?" Vivien begged.
"Nope! If you stay in the city, you will settle my heart. I said firmly.
"Anyway, you're not allowed to do anything! I don't want to be a widow at a young age! Ruri suddenly said viciously.
I nodded slightly, pulled Binglan over on the other side, pillowed my head between her towering twin peaks, and listened to her heartbeat while asking, "Binglan, what do you mean?" ”
"You know, I've always believed in you." Binglan reached out and said lovingly through my long hair, in a firm voice.
I suddenly turned over and hugged the three of them in my arms at the same time, and said affectionately: "Don't worry, my broad arms will be the harbor where you dock for a lifetime!" I will cherish myself as much as I cherish you! Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son...... When we are all dying, I will still enjoy the spring greenery with you, listen to the summer rain, watch the autumn twilight flowers, and step on the winter snow to ...... forever."
At this time, the body of the three girls began to writhe uneasily again under the gentleness of my hands and eyes, looking at the three pretty faces that were rippling with love, and feeling the tide mist and wetness slowly rising from the secret place of the three carcass......
